Monte Cristo

Turkey, ham, cheese on bread and then you dip the entire sandwich in a batter or just seasoned eggs (like French toast) and then deep fried.

Served with raspberry jam usually.

Very hard to find a good one.

I went to best buy to buy a phone for my kid recently. They didn't carry a phone case for the phone they sold me. They had phone cases for every iPhone you could imagine, ones they didn't even sell. Cases for lots of phones they didn't sell.

Crazy to me that they don't at least stock a couple cases for the phones they sell in store.

I deal with it by warranty replacement if the controller is still within warranty or buying a new one. I just have accepted the fact that controllers are replaceable items in my life.

I don't remember where my name came from but maybe it's a variation off the NES game The Astyanax

It's just a name I put into a BBS when I signed up 35ish years ago and I've used everywhere since.

Feels weird to whom?

Except for the ticks... they were bad last year and I expect them to be worse this year... ugh

I hate that there is such a rigid structure required for directories and such. Can't my drive of audiobooks just be scattered trash like everything else in my data life? Lol

I mean usenet servers are running with insane retention... omicron hosts have 5648 day retention, other backbones are over 4500

Unless it gets taken down, it doesn't go away anymore... providers just keep retaining. I suppose that will end eventually... maybe some day the cost of storage will prohibit archiving 15 year old binary usenet posts.

I learned, from the comments, you can just long press home key and press search screen.

I didn't know about that feature.

I noticed this yesterday when I tried to load a cached version of a site. How disappointing.

You can play a ton of turn based board games on boardgamearena.com

You can play real time or turn based. It works on any browser, even mobile.

It's only $2.27 if they think you live in a certain country.

2.27 feels reasonable for my family of 5.

The best part is it was just copied from another site, at least it was cited. I sent to the site and it said the article is based on an article from another source.

Here's the true source: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-06633-0.pdf

Microsoft has been betting on content delivery for a while now. They don't care how you play their games, they just want you playing them.

I used this list and signed up for library cards in 20 different places. Just Google for an address near the library or even use the libraries address.

From my experience, the sno isle library has what I'm looking for for often them the rest.

I was very sad when they discontinued it. I seem to recall that they did that just after someone in charge of it died.

I use eweka and thundernews as backup. I rarely need thundernews. It only tries that one of eweka is missing what I'm looking for.

So you could get 2 streaming services which would make you miss out on the content available on the other 200+ other streaming services out there.

With Usenet you can get content from all of them.

Eweka is cheaper https://www.eweka.nl/en/landing/unlimited-usenet-special € 5,99/mo for a year

And here's a deal for easynews. https://signup.easynews.com/checkout/unlimited-special-deal/ $6 a month for a year

Usenet. 1522 hits for Tim and Jerry when I just searched.

So? You only watch good movies once...?
