I have to say, I developed a HUGE amount of respect for these early Atari devs in my senior year of college. My CS final project was to help add CRT-style artifacts into the 2600 Emulator Stella. Since we wanted to do this right, and not just fake up a pretty fragment/vertex shader combo, we went looking at how other…

Do you think he used to trash talk when he’d win at it?

Seems like this was about as successful as a Trump impeachment.

That’s an absurd headline. What Trump is doing is letting people choose the car they want, rather than the car the government will let them have. You can buy a Tesla if you want. You can buy a Hummer if you want.
It’s called liberty, you should try it sometime.

I completely agree, but presuming you still live on Guam now, surely you know that a large portion of the island is nowhere remotely near ‘typhoon-proof’ despite it being literally decades since the standards went into place.

Yeah, the “richer” parts of the island are mostly highly-resistant poured concrete structures…

Seriously, on the list of horrors of the Soviet Untion, even specifically environmental disasters, Chernobyl is like...”For me, it was Tuesday.”

I bought a $900 Traeger from Costco a couple years ago. Would I buy it again?

The neat thing about this is it’s the opposite of black magic - it’s extremely easy to do and pretty straightforward. The hard part is just getting the idea.

I’m also 50 and that line didn’t resonate with me either.

Lifehacker’s definition of life hacks has broadened since a few years ago.

They aren’t, but people in California and New York shouldn’t be able to impose their will on the whole country, just because their thought bubble is bigger. The electoral college and senate keeps one ideology from taking over, it’s a genius idea, and the people who are calling for it’s elimination fail to see that one…

What about 1978-79 when northern illinois was hit with like 75 inches of snow? Or back in 1985 when the wind chill was -72 in northern illinois? Between 1930 and 1939, Rockford, Illinois had 44 days with highs above 100 degrees. From 2010 to 2019 Rockford has had 8 such days. Or 1963 when Rockford had 45 days below 0?…

For the earth, 1992 was a millisecond ago.

That’s the ‘right’ way to bribe your kid into college. Even the guy who did the scam with the celebrities admitted to it
