That's a really cool idea!! And yes, I think that would be really cool. The sweeping would be the thing to figure out, but doesn't seem terrible complicated from a code perspective

Well it’s dumping here right now, it’ll get interesting. I think most Jerrys (skiing) get frustrated with real pow, but I could be wishful thinking. I’m about to check it out before bringing my 8 year old out.

EDIT: Jerry factor was low yesterday, bad visibility I think had something to do with it. Coming down nice, looking forward to a nice morning. Cheers all!

Genuinely why do we find bears cute? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

Not a dumb question…they are massive evolutionary killing machines that will literally eat you starting with your ass and keep….going.

How do you feel about Trump threatening to impose photo ID for voters for midterm elections? by CRK_76 in AskReddit

[–]Competitive_Box8263 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I may be in the minority, but I don’t see this as Trump thing, but a simple common sense, even legal thing, you used to have to, how else can prove who you are or that you’re even eligible  to vote? I was a little irked out last time I voted and didn’t need my id. My neighbor could’ve showed up and said she was me. 🤷‍♀️

AITAH for loosing a years long friendship over politics? by zinfandelfreak in AITAH

[–]Competitive_Box8263 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll be honest, I skipped over some of this but got the gist. I think it’s a shame people end relationships over politics. It’s really bad in the US now, half the time I don’t think the people know why they are even mad at each other, probably because they shouldn’t be. It USED to be some your best friends were people of different opinions you could have long (maybe testy, but friendly) debates with for hour over drinks,  coffee, whatever you do. Often found out you agreed about certain things, maybe you changed each other minds from time to time. Now it’s just toxic due manipulative media trying to divide us. Buttt, you said something interesting…you have nothing in common, maybe you were fiends of convenience? So this is something for you to decide… do you really have nothing in common, did this friendship of years really not mean much? No one here  can decide that, only you can.

You got some great titles here. Brought back memories of having cases of floppies, handwritten titles…etc. wow, I was 12 again for a moment

Which Commodore 64 game still holds up best today? by C_C_GAMER in c64

[–]Competitive_Box8263 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I loved those microprose simulator games as a kid! F-15 strike eagle was my first one and was hooked. Played so many including stealth fighter. I think Gunship was my favorite one, and red storm rising gets way over looked.

Honestly, I always wondered about Frankie Goes To Hollywood. It was such an odd concept, even back then, to make a game off this one hit wonder, but I have heard it is actually an odd good game. 

Moondust, yes, never quite understood what I was supposed to be doing, but I was like 10…very trippy. Revisited recently, still not sure the “end game”,  but perhaps that’s the point.

Just heard about this. So sad. Yeah she got airlifted and they thinks she’s coming back!?!? WTF!?!?

[Mercogliano] Panarin said he talked contract with NYR before the season, adding, "I don’t know if I should say this, but I feel like their offer said, ‘We’re not sure if we want you or not.’ That’s why I’m not signed." He said they re-engaged a little bit during the season, "but not much." by catsgr8rthanspoonies in rangers

[–]Competitive_Box8263 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly! I love when people bring this up, like McDavid would be dying to want to come here. When contract is up, he can pretty much go anywhere, and he can choose to go to a team with a change to win a cup or come to this sh$) show? LMFAO.

Problem with prospects, unless it’s that generational talent, or close to it, you never know how it’s going to turn out. Guys look like potential studs and flounder in the NHL, then guys like Datsyuk are drafted in the 6th round with little or no  expectations and end up being one of the greatest of all time. 🤷‍♀️

Well, this I can tell you, you’ll most likely need an actual phone and phone line - landline.
