I have a wired FL-Esports FL-980, which I love at the price I paid ($45 "used" board on Amazon + $15 aliexpress keycaps + $30 switches). Even if I hadn't sprung for the keycaps or switches, it came with Kailh Box Whites (same as this 8bitdo IIRC) and some decent double-shot PBT Dolch keycaps (if a little thin) in Cherry profile. They make a wireless, but I'm not sure I love it as much at 2x or 3x the price of my bargain basement board. The basic types you're looking for are called "96%" or "1800" though.
I've got some variety of Tomato running on an ancient Netgear thing the previous owner left here. I use it in client mode to be a wifi adapter for my desktop, my server, and my little TV box running Armbian. In years past, we used a DDWRT router to provide a second SSID with always-on VPN.
Then once you have something keeping people around, education and healthcare become sort of self-sustaining employment sectors, leading to a kind of “invisible” government subsidy that will keep a place hanging on even if the original industry fades. These days, it’s closing the hospital or school that truly kills off a town.
Our Oreck XL is a bit awkward on carpeted stairs, but doable and its beater brush is not fucking around. As an aside, it's not the best vacuum in the world, but it's reasonably priced, a proven design, and easily repaired.
I read the first half, and I have to say, it just did not speak to me. Felt like a mysogynistic Holden Caulfield guest-starring in every segment of the Heavy Metal movie.
Yeah, the last one is different because it has three modes, but in a vacuum it seems like they could have set it up closer to the paradigm of the two-mode knobs. Depending on how those knobs are actually wired though, there may be a good reason why it was easier to make it that way.
And as someone who learned ten-key on a Model M, it's interesting how many numpads before it were almost completely dedicated to raw data entry, with no '+', '-', '', or '/' keys anywhere nearby.
I assume if the transformer had blown the Californians would have had to work off the charges living in the little town, being hilariously angry for the first act month, only to come around, leave after some emotional misunderstanding, but then return just in time to save the town hall from getting bulldozed.
Unironically, yes. It was a huge part of their economy, and ships stuffed to the brim with olive oil amphorae were always coming in from Greece and especially Spain.
But even more of them with olive oil. One of the little facts I love about history is that Amphorae were so common in some places that they were used as scratch paper and the biggest dump for broken ones is a "mountain" in Rome.
Don't want to pirate, don't have cable, don't want to buy the package on offer, DO want out of market games. I believe this is what we in the know refer to as "kinda fucked." The only thing I can think of beyond going to a sports bar is slightly less villainous piracy by trying to find a good VPN that manages to keep its IPs from getting flagged, and pay half the US rate for a Game Pass subscription.
"Force projection" remains the great military advantage that the US has. It's completely understandable that China would want to decrease that gap and that the US would find such efforts concerning. People will disagree about whether and to what degree American hegemony would be preferable to Chinese, but the geopolitics of it all are unsurprising.
Or, and hear me out, maybe it was not a very good movie.
I get that critics have a different perspective because they'll see so many more movies and have a different interests than fans, but we've had decades now of them giving a pretty fair shake to superhero and popcorn movies and reviewing them on their own terms. If your sequel doesn't do anything particularly interesting in that space, then the property or the cast had better be so beloved that people will go see it regardless. I haven't really heard that anybody HATED Shazam 2, just that nobody gave a shit, and most of the review snippets on RT reflect that.
The story is so weird, like somebody (the reporters? Nintendo?) wanted to do a puff piece that was just letting people know the SNES was coming out and it looked cool, but somebody else wanted a serious but uncreative "outrage" angle so they tacked it on and then promptly ignored it. Dude's literally playing FZero on the weather department's green-screen.
I wonder if the name is a conscious callback to "Channel One," which introduced Xennials to Anderson Cooper and Lisa Ling, among others, as well as Crystal Pepsi and the concept of mandatory advertising at school.
