  • I'm 41. Which means I was a kid when the original came out.

    In all my years of knowing of the power rangers, I've never once thought of it as (white power)(ranger).

    I did however go from thinking Rita Repulsa was grotesque as a kid, to thinking "Damn, she's kinda hott!" as an adult. Plus she has that stick that makes her monster grow.

    .......I think every guy would find that usrful.

  • Well, I mean that was proven in the prohibition era. Alcohol was illegal, and thus you could be arrested for having it.

    And yet, the task force to enforce these rules was like 1 agent per every 500,000 citizens. So "super secret" speakeasies were EVERYWHERE in those days. So common that drunks would knock on random peoples doors, and home owners would instinctively yell "THIS ISN'T A SPEAKEASY!!!" and the drunk would go knock on the next door. It was said you only had to knock on 20-30 doors depending on the city, before you happened upon a secret speakeasy.

    The head of the task force said New Orleans was the easiest to find alcohol, having just flown into the airport, he said it took about 30 seconds before he got into a cab, and was IMMEDIATELY offered booze.

    If a law is a law, but it's not being enforced, is it really a law?

  • Orrrrrr, alternative option......how about we go watch fireworks tomorrow? It'll be a date. We'll grab some food, and then go see the new Jurassic Park movie, and then go see the fireworks!

    Uhhhhh, just be in Cleveland tomorrow at 5pm. Just, anywhere in Cleveland. I'll find you by roaming the city and yelling "YOU SINGLE??? HEY!!! YOU SINGLE???" at every woman I see on the street. I'm sure I'll find you EVENTUALLY!

    Just don't stop in East Cleveland. That is a seperate city, and we in Cleveland don't recognize them as anything more than an active war zone. You WILL die if you stop there.

    Soooooo, what are you thinking? Drinks? Yay or nay? Aw who am I kidding??? OBVIOUSLY we're going to drink!!! This city is BUILT on alcoholics!!!

    ......wha? Where are you going??? Come back!!! I haven't even shown you our massive free stamp!!! Thats not a penis euphanism! We really do have a massive free stamp here!

  • Switch 1 dock comes with the console. But what if you want to hook up 1 dock on each of your TVs throughout your house? Lets say there are 3 TVs. Well, you have 1 dock. Now you need 2 more.

    The official dock with power supply is $90. So you now need $180 plus two more HDMI cables.

    3rd party docks are a fraction of that. You could probably get both docks for $60? Been a while since I checked prices.

    And used prices aren't much better for first party. But used on 3rd party goes down even more. You could probably get both tvs with used 3rd party docks for $40? As opposed to $180 for 2 new official docks.

  • It makes more sense when you fully understand what people mean when they say both sides.

    People who want to argue that point take it to mean "both sides are the same". What it really means is both sides are complicit. It's good cop bad cop. The good cop has to keep up appearances, to sell the illusion of choice and safety. While the bad cop takes all the heat.

    And if you want evidence, just look at how things have gone in the last 40 years. Republicans take 3 steps right, democrats take 1 step left. Well, do the math. That's a net result of 2 steps to the right without recoarse. Now repeat for 40 years, and you have a situation where it's literally gotten to nazi america tactics.

    The old barometer for how far they've gone is when they undid roe v wade. Now, thats so far in the rear view, that we're at a point where unidentified government agents are kidnapping people on the street, without even confirming they have reason to arrest them, and at times killing them in the process.

    Let me repeat that. We're at a point where government officials are now grabbing people off the street and killing them, without so much as a confirmation of their identity.

    But don't worry, the democrats are going to wave their fingers in a "no no no" motion, real hard. We'll all be fiiiiiiine! Well, unless of coarse you're brown enough, or just mistaken for an opposing opinion.

    Yeah. Both sides.

  • I mean.....I guess. I wouldn't exactly call SatellaView the same thing as internet downloaded games.

    My understanding is it was a Japan only thing, that you downloaded the actual game from local corner stores (like 7/11), and then dialed in for the "live" voice acting from random actors. So even though they'd be reading the same script, your experience would differ wildly, and the audio was about onpar with a telephone call being played out of your tv speakers.

    And the reason it was Japan only is because as patchy as that sounds, it's still more advanced than what we had available in terms of connectivity in the USA at the time.
