So first and fore most, provided we are talking about games that came out after about 2005, and honestly most games from 2000. They tend to just work in Windows. It’s a little more hit and miss heading back into the 90's, and DOS games generally you want to use an emulator.

There is seldom a ton of work needed these…

DOSbox is the go to emulator for DOS games. There is a MacOS version.

No it’s film. These use Instax instant film, which is traditional self developing instant film stock.

The Instax wide has been around for a good long while. As has the Square (roughly the size of standard Polaroid). Thing is the films are widely available the way the mini is, and there are very few cameras available using either stock.

IIRC Instax is one of the more stable instant films ever produced, it was something Fuji deliberately addressed. Like other’s have said the image apparently will not fade on it’s own. Sunlight can fade it like anything else, and heat can damage it.

But by report the colors can shift over time. No instant film is…

They’re less claiming they’re green than trying to promote the use of aluminum cans over plastic bottles in all contexts. They’re just leveraging the market for fancy bottled water, and spoofing craft beer marketing to do it.

That’s sort of the weird thing with the brand. They never get around to mentioning that it is basically a European mineral water, rather than a direct comparison to cheap bottled water.

Power supply stocks seem to be fine right now. Prices on some of them, particularly newer models are still up a bit vs pre-pandemic. But prices on a lot of name brand stuff is right around normal.

If you your PSU is going, replace it now. If it goes it’ll more than likely take something more expensive with it. 

These things are hardly consistent across contexts. For example red flags are also a symbol of Socialist, Communist, and by extension sometimes general leftist movements. Particularly in Europe.

Maybe that’s what they were told, or saw discussed online. Even if that’s the case I think they missed what’s disturbing…

The Flag Code is “advisory”, and even if it wasn’t it’d be un-enforceable on 1st amendment grounds. Similar laws with penalties and enforcement baked in have been repeatedly ruled unconstitutional. And were mostly targeted at flag burning, and intended to target Left Wing protest movements.

And yet I’ve never had a port break from use, regardless of what sort of port. Even with dropped phones, or dogs yanking on cables, Or other shenanigans. 

I had an iPhone for work, right next to a USB-C Android for years. The lint thing happened maybe once.

The real problem is the connector is absolute shit. In the time I used them side by side I never had a USB-C cable fail. I went through 10 or so Lightning cables. The Apple ones in particular seemed to fail like…

I doubt you’ll get too many canon absolutists on the subject. Eternals was never particularly successful, almost none of the series were actually finished. That Sersi in the Avengers bit is about as visible as they got until the Gaiman/Romita series in the 00's reintroduced and rejiggered them. Practically every time…

Also which boundaries are you trying to push. John Wayne Gacy was “pushing boundaries”. That doesn’t make it a good thing.

It’s a meaningless statement people use to cover their asses when they get called out for being bad people.

Provocation is not valuable for it’s own sake.

If you remember that you should also remember that it was top to bottom global Jewish conspiracies, “proof” that brown people didn’t have civilization, and claims that the government was out to get you.

Oklahoma City was 25 years ago. “The Paranoid Style in American Politics”, the go to starting point for conspiracy…

I think even more telling is the focus on female spies and the 355 reference. That is a thing with the actual history of the Culper Ring, with 355 being unidentified but mostly suspected of being a Woman in Abraham Woodhull’s social circle. But this is hardly the only way it’s glossed in pop culture, you can see how…

I think the thing that made it work out in his favor is that it was good, cause he is a good filmmaker. I used Trank for the counter example because to all appearances he’s not. So the comparison to FourTastic kinda shows how this might have gone.

The problem with 2049 is not that it was bad. It’s that it was expensive. It was a ~$200m budget tent pole, and Villeneuve’s first major studio project of that scale. His name was out in front of it the entire time, and the shoot had tons of problems with delays and blowing the budget.

It’s not a situation like a…

Chernobyl is in Ukraine.

Yeah exactly my point. Dee was part and parcel of an era in Europe where they were just figuring out how to do science in the first place. He wasn’t neccisarily too influential in the process, but much of what he was on about was well within the wheel house of “natural philosophy” at the time.
