Do you mean a war as formally declared by Congress, or perpetual wars that occur regardless?

Man, I would love to get a replacement gear for my early days electronic eject external Macintosh 3.5" floppy drive made in stone instead of plastic. Heck yeah!

I wish we could get the great new PROLED XDR screen w/o touch (if that saved $$) so we could take advantage of the new brightness/contrast and not worry about gestures on the glass.

Even quicker solution, and on 7Mhz.

I bet a lot of people have been doing this conversion work independently on one-off AI-assisted personal projects this year. But now someone made a thing so all those tokens (and time) can be saved!
Now for someone to make another one of these converters for webapps to become Mac apps. That would be nice, too. =) (Now I wonder if it has already been done…?)

I don't know why exactly but something about the arrows feel repulsive and oddly gross.

Washington needs to adopt this policy as well. I have a neighbor who moved 3 houses down a few years ago who brought 4 cars with her from Montana and never registered any of them.
It's... ridiculous.

Actually his real worry is the lack of any kind of oversight and regulation - that the inmates are allowed to police themselves.

I know most folks think of other films, but his performance in Ridley Scott's Legend as the grumble-cackling lust driven red-faced demon is a core memory for me. Grew up watching and admiring that film and especially Mr. Curry's portrayal of that character so many times. Because of him.

Re:New Casio F-B100W – Upgrade to the iconic F-91W after 40 years

Only available via that link in the UK or Ireland for £55.00. Quick jump over to Ebay US? $189.62 (And FedEx will have a word after they deliver it.)
US, for now, can keep getting the unconnected F91W $25 lookalike. IIRC, the F-91W has a really small strap. Almost a "ladies watch" size.

Vibration is precisely what made me sell my brand new (sold out) Pebble watch. No matter the firmware or options (un)chosen, it would randomly vibrate at odd times of the day. Couldn't stand the constant distractions.
