Man, that Gateway brings back memories... I've had ine just like that, including speakers, and I used to play the shit out of Heroes of Might and Magic II and Sim City 2000 on it. I still have the HDD. I think I'll spin up a Win98 instance in VMWare and copy over my saved games there when the kids are asleep
I keep envelopes from mail I received and write notes on the empty side. On the rare occasion where I want to actually retain the note, I retype it into one of several txt documents I have open in my Notepad++.
The key phrase is "multi-party democracy". I guess I should have also added "parliamentary" into that phrase. Political systems with a single winner are far more prone to electoral manipulation than systems where a coalition government is the norm.
I wouldn't see it too tragic. Those who would support AfD already do, and the rest won't change the mind because of an article written in a lunatic's name. If he threw considerable amount of money at AfD, I'd get a bit concerned, but in a functional multi-party democracy, especially one with a nazi past, a nazi party would never be invited into a government unless it won an outright majority.
An e-mail platform doesn't enjoy the same kind of network effect as social media, so there won't be any social penalty for never joining or leaving it. Unless he comes with a compelling reason to keep an account there, I don't see it taking off.
One side of my bedroom wall was a built-in bookshelf. We're talking about 4m in length and 2m in height. Some shelves had double-stacked books.
But you are right; the logistics are nearly impossible. I moved out of my parents' house in the mid-90s, but they still keep most of my books there for me. I have my own house and family now, but my wife threatened divorce if I "cluttered" our house with all the books. My hope lies in my kids inheriting my love for reading and bringing over my books themselves.
I was in a similar situation. It was the only time I got into a serious fight with my mom. The only difference was that I was an adult already, had around 1800 books, and sorted them by genre, author and series order.
The killer is not as dangerous as the approval for his act. The government wants to prevent copycat vigilantes by making an example out of him. Regardless whether this guy is guilty or not, they'll drag him through the deepest mud and then string him up with the harshest possible sentence, to discourage others from gunning down CEOs.
Not too bad. But to be honest, I started mixing trail running into my schedule. It's fun, better for your joints (even though I've never had problems), and as a runner gets older, longer distances become more appealing. I'm beginning to consider some easier ultras, and they are usually on trails.
Where are you having them made? I've been looking for a print shop that would do the print on the back, where it's more likely that someone would read them when I'm running.
I've been running every single day for the past 4.5 years or so. Not counting the days anymore. Related to that, my smart scale puts my physical age at 17 years below my real age. Before I started running, the same scale had my physical age 21 years above my real age.
Damn right that old video games would be used for entertainment. I have old books, which predate me by decades, that I still read. I watch old movies on DVD's. I see no reason why games should be any different.
I'm lucky that ever since I've been a gamer, I had a PC. Hardware is thus not a problem, and in my case, so is emulation, via VirtualBox. I kept the install disks and license keys (if applicable) for all operating systems I've used, so now I have several virtual images I spin up when I want to play a certain game. And I'm finding that I'm still spending most of my time with the older titles...
This will not help anyone who'd like to play their old favorite from the NES or Dreamcast era. And it's too late to advise only buying games that are platform independent. So kerp up the good fight. In the past you purchased games to own, not a "limited license". You are entitled to kerp using your entertainment product as you see fit.
That's par for the course. Other accusers dropped their cases when their cars or houses got torched. During the trial, his acquaintances filmed and photographed the jurors from the gallery, until the judge threatened a closed doors trial. His close relationship with the Kinahan cartel is public knowledge. Over here in Dublin we knew him as a scumbag all his life, just most people (including me) didn't even know he existed until he became famous in the MMA
I'm not American, but even I heard about Trump tweeting like a maniac. Here in Europe, though, the media understand that politicians use social media to communicate with their supporters, and nothing else. So, traditional media usually ignores them (unless they say something clickbaity), and focuses what was said outside the social media. Perhaps the same could be applied in the US. Especially if Trump is indeed as narcissistic as he's portrayed. When he realizes people don't listen to him, he may change his methods of communication.
