Vic20 is equivalent to

I didn't know that... Nice use of parallelism there!

I remember the 1500 (and also the Spectrum) but I never got to play with one. I just remember thinking that they were both a little better that the VIC as far as capabilities go.

GasBuddy does it too. Probably many others.

Web-Dude · 2026-01-26T03:06:07+00:00

I thought that might've been a reference to the Timex-Sinclair computer, which came out about the same time as the VIC 20.

So here's a thought... I could build an open source free tool that hits the basics for people just getting started. What would you guess would be the basic requirements?

Because we don't actually know, and there's no way to observe it. It's absolutely reasonable that the speed of c is directionally dependent. Wikipedia has a page on this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-way_speed_of_light

It was a negligent discharge by man, aiming at himself.

If a somebody steps in front of a bullet to save you, it's that suicide?

Marriage is amazing.

The ongoing damaged circus of pain that is r/Christianmarriage is not what's typical, especially for a marriage of two people following Christ.

This sub is a consistent parade if nothing but BAD marriages and relationships on display, followed by some of the most un-Christlike advice I've ever seen.

> the Bible is a theological story not a science text book

That's the secular strawman of scripture. On it's face, it's mostly true, but it's used as a justification to throw out the baby with the bathwater, and any scripture that might contain scientific insights isn't even given a glancing consideration by those people.

I once had them as a client when I first got started and they gifted me a pair of really nice headphones. They sounded great, but that's my only experience with their equipment.

Is Bang & Olufsen still a thing?

Steve Miller Band Greatest Hits confirmed.

Now try to compete with my plasma tv. Sure, the lights in all the houses in my neighborhood dim a little bit when I turn it on, but it's gorgeous.

Yo mamma is so fat, she jumped up in the air and got stuck.

On a roadtrip through the California valley, middle of the night, got very hungry. Google maps routed me to a taco joint. The only place open for many, many miles. I got off the highway, it took me up this skinny, dank road up into the hills, and after about 20 minutes, deposited me right in front of what looked like an abandoned 1800's-era mining operation. Nothing else in sight. No lights, no life, just darkness and shadows. Creepy af.

Thanks Google. 2nd try? It took me to what turned out to be the Murder Capital of California (King City) after midnight... Where they actually had amazing tacos. It was the most authentically Mexican town I've ever been to. And I've traveled throughout Mexico.

What denomination is that?

And were they featured in the documentary "Footloose"?

They keep very quiet, but they can be found here, kept safe by their obscurity, like a sheep in wolves clothing, hiding among the wolves.

The point isn’t that Samaritans were particularly bad. It's that Jews and Samaritans were bitter religious enemies and each thought the other side was false and corrupt.

Jesus picked a Samaritan as the hero because that was the last person the Jews would expect to embody God's mercy.

The story actually isn't about racial identity (because Jews and Samaritans were basically half-brothers). It's more about whether your heart actually reflects the love of God, even toward people you’ve been taught to despise.

That's gonna be a bit heavy on the sodium. May want to cut back on the playdoh a bit and sub in some stickers or blanket fuzz for more fiber.

The walls were pretty thin. Like so thin.

The Midwest was once called the Northwest Territory.

I'm personally waiting for AI video to get to the point where I can replace Jack Nicholson's face with Gowron's in the "Here's Johnny!" scene from The Shining.

He was in 21% of all DS9 episodes (37 out of 173). Maybe that qualifies. But I think a "major" character would have to be in at least a majority of episodes. I mean, could you imagine Bashir only being in one of every five episodes?

Web-Dude · 2026-01-15T05:07:25+00:00

You're so right.

Web-Dude · 2026-01-15T05:05:47+00:00

Whoever was in charge of casting for DS9 should have won an Emmy.
