I mean… the government doesn’t shut down the numbers stations. I can still pick up analog TV channels. I love all these fantasies in here about Jack booted thugs kicking down doors of people playing music on their transmitter. Yes, yes, very serious business. lol.

Ah yes, the delicious false equivalence.

270 vs millions? And they didn’t isolate breast feeding or catheters? You may wish to reconsider your argument.

And then he got drunk and walked in front of a car.

The only conversation more tiresome than a poker thread around here is a diet and exercise thread, but the competition is neck and neck.

Yes, yes, all of you are poker, chess, and diet masters.

Hooray.

Yes, obviously.

Citation needed.

“Got it through sharing needles” was the 90s version of “got herpes from a toilet seat.”

$60,000 fine… who can imagine why these were anonymously donated… probably dug them up in his backyard

Complete indifference to food and water that led to fainting and probable heat stroke. Extreme nausea. All mitigated now with medication and forced hydration. Not fun.

Semaglutide is not a drug taken casually. Speak from experience on this one. :-/

They’re still around, just not as caffeinated. Still fun to drive around with one between your legs. Just alternate sips with a Monster.

Are you kidding? Most of them are tiny and weird looking in person. Have you seen what Nicole Kidman looked like in her 80s Australian movies? I enjoy her performances but now she is one of the strangest looking people I’ve ever seen.

I mean… I was being told 20 years ago that Kaspersky was sketch..

I was shown one at some game room supply store in 2005, and I would presume older than that. They were meant to be strewn about your poker table.

Pixel cut peridot is nothing new.

A staircase with individual stairs 10 feet tall? Cmon. It looks like a cool dive but cmon.

There’s an optical drive emulator now, no need for discs.

I don’t mind a $5 fee, but it’s the markup above regular menu prices that generally kills it. I also had multiple issues with incomplete DoorDash deliveries. I doubt the drivers were stealing food, but the restaurants obviously thought they could get away with theft and not be penalized. It was ALWAYS the most expensive entree missing. Had to get into credit card disputes with DoorDash more than once before they were banned from our household. Oddly never once had the issue with Uber Eats.

That being said, the in restaurant experience sure as hell isn’t what it used to be, either. Rarely bother with a sit down place anymore.

Grocery delivery seems to be a winner, though. Costs about $20 more and I don’t have to spend two hours dealing with it? Count me in.

Nobody cares about your mister. Why are you people so compelled to tell everyone about them constantly?

Feels baller as fuck to own an AES, not gonna lie. The system we all lied about owning in middle school!

I mean, I was hearing stories 35 years ago about Russians eating mammooth meat and it wasn’t controversial then…

Yes, the talent quickly falls off a cliff once you get into weird, niche sports. Remember this when the Olympics roll around. If the truly gifted set themselves towards many of those events, the records would be obliterated.

User name is appropriate - Gary Numan blew all his money on stupid shit, too.

They have been photographing every single package since anarchists were shipping bombs in the mail 100 years ago. Seems to be breaking news every few years.

Made a “lot” of money (for a teenager) installing cd rom drives into computers in the 90s. The article isn’t lying - everyone I knew was buying them circa 1994 with no idea how to install them. I remember the first high speed one I installed… vibrated the entire desk. Now I’m buying them for $12 shipped off eBay and using usb to power them. Only purpose is burnt games for old consoles.

Name three academic institutions that would sign a contract that prevented them from publishing adverse results. You are at least fifty years out of date on this argument.

DAE learn about castling from Battle Chess?

Photos of everyone clutching their phones now are going to look as cringe as those photos of people holding cigarettes in the 70s. “Why couldn’t grandma put it down for the picture?” Indeed.

I used to buy it over the counter in Mexico for recreational purposes, now I have some ancient prescription I don’t need that’s renewed annually for free. A stiff breeze will work, it’s actually remarkable. It will totally make your skin flush and make you feel light headed, not surprised by any of this.
