I have several large boxes of mid-90s era SCSI cables and controller cards (along with a ton of other hardware from back then until now) that I just can’t bear to part with. Do not feel bad...you are among friends.

Didn’t you really meant megaton, not kiloton yields?

While building a small nuke is certainly possible (like the Davy Crockett you mentioned, and other tactical nukes deployed over the years) modern chemical explosives are actually quite capable of similar destructive power—and here’s the important bit that kept tactical nukes from ever being used—without all that messy…

Politics has nothing to do with it. That’s not what OP meant. “Conservative” means “resistant to change,” and is the correct word to describe players who are going to have issues with new rules.

Agreed.

That reboot, upon which I randomly stumbled on Youtube years ago, really messed with me. I watched several episodes before I realized (and confirmed with some confused Googling) that someone had redone Thundercats.

Came here for this. Thank you.

The Washington monument looks like an interesting (albeit skinny) place to have an office....

Can confirm. By his mid-70s, my great uncle was legally blind (total Mr. Magoo glasses), and had a history of heart attacks (my parents realizing this is what ended my flight training with him when I was a teenager).

There are dozens of us!  Dozens!

My beard does an excellent job at that all on its own, thankyouverymuch! I do have a prominent chin, though, which only makes the porridge-catching worse!

You just described my whole life (which has made me feel like a complete impostor so, so many times). I wouldn’t call it genius, so much as just being able to absorb, retain, and recall just about everything I’ve ever seen.

I was very fortunate to have a teacher for two years of Algebra II/trig and pre-cal in high school who—after the first marking period with me getting zeros on homework, yet absolutely acing every test and quiz—recognized that repetition was not how I learned.

...and “Appa’s Lost Days,” which oof, right in the feels.

My recent introduction (and then obsession with) Elite:Dangerous had me soooo ready for this...

My brother swears by his Bug-a-Salt gun:

There is, but it’s basically meth. I mean, sure, it is the base chemical for a number of beneficial medicines, but spice smugglers aren’t looking to avoid Imperial entanglements for that...

I had that exact thing happen after mine crashed, mid-download. Clearly internal labels (guess the friendly names and icons had yet to be downloaded). As I had to get through those screens to resume the download I just clicked what seemed like the most appropriate things and continued. I should really look up if…

I can tell you there are domesticated cattle that will try to kill you given the chance.

Hmmm....I wonder if that means my adverse reactions to opiates are immune-related? It’d be game-changing to find a usable painkiller.
