Oh man - the action pinball! Had many of those and somehow would always squish the plastic top so the ball bearing wouldn’t be able to roll around in it anymore.

Go for broke, move on up to rollers!

Loved sticky fingers, except they didn’t usually last more than a day before the hand detached itself.  Could get them in the quarter gumball machines.

You have been to the US? You have seen our exaggerated entitlement behaviors and massively hypocritical stances with one another?

That was literally in one ear and right back out the mouth, to be forgotten forever.

Still easier to read the double space. All the single space paragraphs look like a run-on sentence to me (and some of them are, just faking it with periods every now and then).

I swear it was WordPerfect and possibly Word back in the day that would auto-double-space once punctuation was placed and/or roll a…

I agree on the monitor as it’s a 16:10 instead of 16:9.  The extra height is nice and I honestly have a hard time trying to talk myself into going to something bigger since those are all 16:9.

LED grill accent lighting? Or shall we now refer to this as LED nose rings for cars?

4 figures for a R E F U R B.  Wow.   So, I have a bridge...

and Morgan Freeman.

Funny, the only thing I see when I look at that is Ford copied the Tesla. Bad either way. Maybe should call it Teslang (Chonk-E style).

At this point, no I wouldn’t expect them to know that.  I’d expect them to lookup how many ads got displayed only.  I’d honestly be a bit shocked if many of the authors read comments anymore.  Kinja doesn’t really seem to be geared to that these days.

yea, no... not really. Not even once have I looked at a Cayenne and thought “911 inspired” or anything remotely close to that.  The Panamera - sure.  Not the Cayenne.

Good points - kind of goes back to how we were ingrained with rising cost arcade games since early on (at least mid-80s I remember $.50 games and early 90s started seeing $1 games).  Maybe it would be 2 types of token (no different than what they use in coinage).  Still limits them, but gives flexibility.  The culture…

I don’t know if tokens are legal in Japan, but it sounds like something solved by tokens.  1 token = 1 play.  Get your tax % in the buying of the tokens.  Token cost is arbitrary at that point and can fluctuate with the need.

So we make this the new ditch runner?

doesn’t really roll off the tongue like BRAAAaaapppp

yea, good luck with that.  We haven’t stopped with the prudes in hundreds of years, no little Twitch thing is going to change that.  Can’t stop stupid, ya know.

And the budding Cold War. The biggest impetus was fear of not being first. I doubt any of that would’ve happened if not for the Soviets getting a satellite and human into space first.

Came for this, not disappointed.
