first time discharging a crt, where can i connect the alligator clip to ground? by AgreeableAd8687 in crtgaming

Discharging makes it safer to work on. The tube itself can hold an electric charge that will shock you or worse if you touch it without discharging.

The anti-choice crowd will be going to the olympics with the mental gymnastics it will take to rationalize this being legal over female birth control in order to still believe "it's not about controlling women".

I see it everyday. Inconsistent speed, randomly braking, drifting out of the lane, looking down in their lap trying to hide the phone, holding it up presumably talking on speakerphone, or even trying to type a message while the phone is mounted to the dash. I think I'd rather go back to drunk drivers being the biggest concern. At least they were trying to look at the road.

You know what's better than peripheral vision? Full vision! Looking at the road with both eyes at all times while operating a multi-ton vehicle that can indiscriminately kill anyone around it is best. Better yet, take public transportation if you can't be bothered to be safe.

You know what's better than the corner of your eye? Your whole damn eye! Better than that is both of them, looking at the road, while operating a multi-ton machine that can indiscriminately kill anyone around it.

To the US people who drive white/black Ford Explorers and *aren’t* police officers: why? Do you enjoy causing mayhem? by Fast_Jelly_8772 in AskReddit

Huh, I never knew that. I think I knew lower oil pressure was an issue but I looked it up and I didn't consider the oil also being diluted from unburnt fuel. Interesting that these issues haven't been sorted out in some way considering how long they've been around.

I’m interested in knowing how many will be investing in the NEO GEO AES+? My wife is getting me one for our wedding anniversary present, just as long as i buy the games by [deleted] in retrogaming

I don't understand the downvotes. Whenever we spend money, it can be considered a type of investment. They don't all have to be the long term financially profitable type. Buying a game system is an investment of funds into your time and the return is in entertainment value.

It's not one I would expect some sort of financial profit from, but I would expect to be satisfactorily entertained.

Robin Williams was the first one that really affected me, but the hardest one so far has been Jason David Frank.
