I bought an IBM P201 workstation monitor on an absolutely obscene refurb sale (1/6th of MSRP) back around 1997-98, and had that thing clear through to ~2013 before I finally broke down and bought my first LCD panel. It was glorious in its prime, most everyone was jealous when I was dragged into attending various LAN…

Valve has been doing the exact same thing for ages with Steam, and while it’s plainly been immensely lucrative for them, they’ve been destroyed as a creative force by that very same success. Easy money has completely sapped their vigor, they’re now content to serve as a bridge troll, blithely collecting their tolls…

If you enjoyed that, you should check out some 80s/90s Hong Kong cinema, starting with John Woo’s awesome Hot-Handed God of Cops.

Hell, I’m a Midwesterner, like half of all recipes I know call for the inclusion of a can of Cream of Chicken or Cream of Mushroom, regardless of what’s being made. I typically keep several cans on hand for one single chicken and rice dish with carrots and mushrooms which I frequently make (hail Instant Pot, lord and…

How are you going to talk about this subject while ignoring The King?

They ARE immense pussies, you’re self-evidently correct, but by the same token, does anyone really believe that American law enforcement would have the cojones to sack Rome or stage a successful amphibious invasion of North Africa? I’m guessing 99% of American pigs, even armed with M4s and APCs and all their…

Yeah, all else being equal, I think I would just suck it up and take the 10 or 15 minutes necessary to program the IKEA blinds, buy an entire living room’s worth for the price of a single one of these treatments, AND still have enough money left on hand to buy original artwork actually worth protecting. There are…

Bingo. The 2nd Amendment nutters love the mantra “when seconds count, the police are only minutes (or hours, in some places) away.” They’re not wrong. Police are specifically termed “law enforcement” and not “crime prevention” for a reason; namely, that they almost never actually perform the latter, and even in the…

I’m also not willing to pretend any post-WW2 soldier/Marine/sailor/airman is doing anything to “protect muh freedom”. I’m sorry, they’re just not; I live a couple of hours from the Canadian border and have about as much fear of a Canuck invasion as I do a mammoth stampede. The same oceans that served as the bases for…

Yeah, same here, I already drafted an ad for the ‘97 Giant mountain bike I haven’t touched since ‘03 and will post it tonight once I’ve taken a couple pictures. Between this and the prior articles on Kotaku re: Switch shortages and Jalopnik re: racing wheel shortages, I’ve scored some huge victories on expensive stuff…

Black Hawk Down was fine, if a bit jingoistic, and American Gangster was alright...

No, they actually love this, because know secretly, in their hearts, at the most fundamental level of their being, they’re craven cowards who long for some “strong man”, no matter how gauche and dimwitted and pathetic, to rule over them. Their mindset is very similar to the Russian populace they’ve coincidentally…

I’m guessing probably half of these commenters furiously masturbated to serial fabulist Chris Kyle’s made-up stories of sniping post-Katrina “looters” from the Superdome roof for the awesome crime of stealing Pampers and bottled water.

Honestly, reading these responses this morning, I thought for a moment I had inadvertently wandered into the Yahoo or profootballtalk.com comments section, the surfeit of jackasses so lightly-provisioned in the intelligence department rushing headlong to make their inane and repellent “thoughts” public was that…

Trump is probably five minutes away from calling Bill Barr to see if there’s a way he can deploy the ghost of Chris Kyle to the roof of US Bank Stadium.  

The layout is definitely weird, and several of the lineup holes you mentioned are admittedly lame, but if nothing else, the decision to finally include user profiles makes Max immediately better than Now IMO. Having to look a little harder for content is less obnoxious to me than constantly losing my bookmarks because…

The FBI reported 48 non-accidental police officer deaths in 2019...across every single local, state and federal department or agency in this country of nearly 330,000,000 people. Forty-eight. In 31 states there were none killed, zero, zilch, nada. Yet pigs constantly frame the public who they’re supposed to be…

Also, it appears that the copper-based anti-seize is the best at ensuring that nuts don’t seize due to corrosion, which is lucky for me. I really would not have enjoyed uninstalling my epidermal anti-seize excretion system. Lord knows it was painful enough to install it.
