I think the 2nd Descent game worked in a similar fashion. Entering a cheat code from the first Descent game would reduce you to 1% shields and health.

I still remember his Tulsa rally, in one of the reddest states in the US. He got tricked into thinking there would be a million people present. And he bragged on it. But only 6,000 people showed up.

Even if they had the custom 3D printed joysticks?

Protesting is a threat. The problem is, when you don't get what you want, you're supoosed to foklow through on that threat.

For years I've improved frozen pizzas by just adding more mozzarella.

I recently tried some dual-color silk filament. Half the filament is one color, half is another color. It makes cool looking parts that are different colors on each side.

My favorites are the ones who let it pile up so much that trash flows out when the door is opened.

Does an old school washer dryer that runs off timer relays / knobs / push buttons really have a CPU?

Nope, it's just a timer-drive. cam triggering switches. The physical cam IS the CPU.

We have reached a point in time where there are adults who think everything that runs through multiple steps must have a microcontroller, because only really really old machines* do without.

*For the most part. I bought a brand new whirlpool dryer late last year, and it has a mechanical timer in it.

Having a newer machine cost me slightly less money on utilities, and considerably more in washing machine parts.

There's more to go wrong on an old washing machine and each control board was unique to the machine

What? Old washing machines just use switches and a cam that's on a timer. Anyone who can read a basic schematic can figure out what is wrong with one.

A place I used to work had a similar problem with people flushing the wrong kind of paper. Turns out the company, which sold expensive charcoal grills, wasn't putting enough tp in the employee bathrooms.

Two things have saved me money in this life - being able to cook, and being able to fix things.

Polls by whom, asking who, with what methodology? If it's cold-calling people to ask them who they will vote for you can bet that nobody under 60 is answering.

I have four of them, they know. Any small animal that gets in their yard has about five seconds to escape before being eaten.

Don't they more or less give heroin to people recovering from surgeries?

Speak klingon.

I've tried to tell her that kissing girls is really great but she doesn't believe me.

My not-so-expert opinion is that someone who really and truly believes there is an all-powerful invisible man in the sky who watches their every move is more likely to be swayed by a cult using the same trappings.

Interesting how effective a strike is.

I asked my wife and she says "ew - no." She tried kissing a girl as a teenager and didn't like it.

This is only a sample size of one, and I don't have any conspiracies I can make out of it so I'd gather more info before trying to leap to any conclusions.
