Lol I'm working on a MAME emulator system and saw the roms for Altered Beast yesterday, and I wondered if I should bother, because I remember playing it some in the arcade. Sounds like I should skip it!
Someone tell my cats!
Had a busy morning and evening, so I decided to try to take a nap for an hour this afternoon. One of our cats laid down on my legs and turned into a warm puddle, albeit after a few minutes of demanding scratches.
Then one of other ones got into "poor, unloved kitty" mode, meowing loudly for no particular reason. I'm told the third one was also making noise, but I didn't hear that.
"People voting for their leaders? That's socialism!"
Lemmy Explorer will do it...I think. "Newest publish time" sort is what you're looking for, I think.
Oddly enough, that's a real chair from the 20th century. Somewhere there's a wiki that has a page with every chair in Star Trek and what model it is, and that is an off-the-shelf model.
Ohhhh this explains how my router can tell me how much traffic we use for, say, Teams. I've wondered about that.
Immortal wouldn't be a problem, you'd think. Maybe if you were the Highlander.
I don't understand buying a car that's physically uncomfortable to sit in.
It's one thing if the seat is uncomfortable after a long drive; you'll never get that from a test drive. But this would be bugging me from the minute I sat down, and I'd never buy a car with that issue - no matter how cheap it is, I have enough neck problems without them being exacerbated by my car.
Pretty sure my great great grandparents were German. I'd have to double check that. My grandmother's maiden name is pretty German Jewish, but I can't recall at the moment whether she was a first generation immigrant or not. I did some research on this a few years back, and I would have to look at my notes to confirm.
It's a little confusing because there's a actually some German heritage on both sides - the grandmother above was my father's mother, but there's some on my mother's side, too.
Americans are obsessed with genealogy, and I spent some time on it during the pandemic, so I can tell you I'm some odd fraction German, which you usually can't get to, like 5/8ths, because it comes from both families.
Yeah I saw that about Germany. Unfortunately, if even Germany is sliding that way, it's hard to imagine anywhere else not doing the same...
I came across this a few weeks ago but didn't save it and couldn't remember what strip it was. I searched many times for it, but it wasn't until this morning that I finally got the right search term for it to turn up again.
My dentist has a setup where you can watch the dental work he's doing on your mouth, assuming you don't need glasses and can see the monitor in the corner.
I'm not sure why anyone would want that. But he has it.
