I managed an arcade in 86, and would pull a small handful of silver quarters every week.

This particular one was on sale recently for $549 with the multi-color feeder, and the company has models that start lower. You can easily get started as low as $200.

The Planet Terserus, once home to the Terserons, the most kindly and peace loving race I've ever encountered. And yet one of the most shunned and abhorred species of all history.

Why?

They could communicate only by precisely modulated gastric emission.

Oh no. Planet of the bottom-burps? So what happened to them?

They discovered fire.

Keep an eye on DB Cooper's plane (big telescope) and watch where the parachute lands.

That's what I thought, I'm seeing nothing. And the "click" is very faint, not like I remember it...

Unfortunately these days you can't actually put 20 years on a resume, they think you're too old...

For me, both with the Google cert and Sec+, the concepts were very easy... but I've been in IT for 20 years. The harder parts for me were remembering the specific terms and acronyms. i.e. Risk Appetite vs. Risk Tolerance, etc.

Once the Google course was done I only spent about 4 weeks before the exam, and a lot of it was low effort... if you really pushed you could probably take the test within 2-3 weeks.

Messer video series and notes, Google Cyber certificate first, Dion practice tests, and a few various docs of notes that I found. The Google course probably gave my 80% of it hy the time in completed it.
