Marry a teacher.

Does it trap other bugs? I want to get rid of mosquitoes, but don’t want to mess with any others.

I’ve gotten to the point that I’m buying things like BennVenn’s MBC3000 and BucketMouse’s Nintendo NES Cartridge Circuit Board just so I can enjoy physical media again.

Price gouging and “grading” of retro games. I just wanna play some old NES games without taking out a second mortgage.

I’m waiting for someone to marry a corporation just to show how absurd the idea of corporate personhood is.

There is that (probably untrue) theory that the main reason he bought Twitter was because at the time, Twitter wouldn’t ban the ElonJet tracking account. Were that the case, it would kinda/sorta make sense that he’s want to kill the platform.

Excellent callout, thank you!

Seconded. Good stuff that A) you can actually find without heading to some weird chocolate boutique and B) you can feel marginally better about buying because they really try to make sure their supply chain is as fair as possible.

Neil Gaiman. The man can write novels, YA novels, graphic novels, children’s books. And they all have such well crafted worlds that you just want to lose yourself in them.

I also think Neal Stephenson and Corey Doctorow deserve WAY more attention than they get.

I’ve been playing around with both the BennVenn MBC3000 and the Funnyplaying MidnightTrace GB/GBC FLASH CART. I’ve heard the FP v1 had a design flaw that necessitated the V2. I’ve tried both versions and can’t tell any functional differences when playing games. The BV is (like most of his stuff) a shockingly good value.

Off air completely. They’re trying to stream with a limited staff at WWCDRadio.com

As much as I hate ads, you’re probably right about it being a big part of their current woes. I can’t imagine that the frequency license owners are going to make that much more money with a new alternative station.

I’ve never really understood this approach. If my work laptop prevents me from doing work, I open a ticket, cc my boss, and move on with my life. I’ve got enough other stuff to do and why take on the risk associated with circumventing company security controls just to get that TPS report in on time? I’ve got documentation showing that I tried and couldn’t complete the work because of the security control.

Yeah, I think this is more of a novelty or a “because I can” sort of thing. There are enough mini retro handhelds out there that play more systems for less cost. (RIP my Miyoo Mini v1)

I’d be curious how many of those developers are excited about the platform.

The real villains here are the absurdly rich. Especially those who find ways to pay less in taxes.

The top 1% are the problem.

Tax the rich.

This is my boomer MIL. She is honestly one of the kindest people I know. . She votes pro-environment/pro-social issues and has given (almost beyond her means) everything she can to virtually anyone who needs it. She has almost nothing left, and is a stones throw from couch surfing. I have no idea what’ll happen when her health starts to fail. As frustrated as I am with boomers, I try to remember her and the good she has tried to bring about in the world.

I’m not a knower. Context?

Well, if Gen X and Millennials wanted their own fortunes they should have planned ahead like boomers and been born back when a house cost $7,500.
