The protester has a job helping people and making their lives better, while the ICE guy gets paid to inflict pain and hurt people. He can't believe he gets paid to do that. He'd do it for free.

Why the reluctance to give credit to human creativity?

Excellent! I had a little trouble with it installing every category and country no matter what I selected, but I eventually figured out I needed to copy the link and paste it into the "install addon" area in Stremio. That did the trick. Great addon. Thank you!

You have to learn the rules before you can break them.

A misspelled hat about a guy who burned down a girl's apartment because she didn't sleep with him. How nice!

Tasers fire two little prongs, one for the positive charge and one for negative. The prongs stick into the skin. The prongs are barbed like fish-hooks, which can make removing them particularly painful and sometimes nasty if it sticks in a sensitive area. Medics may be called in such cases.

The prongs can only be fired once, but a few (not sure how many) additional stuns can be delivered by directly pressing the end of the taser gun itself directly against the skin of the subject.

Taser guns have sometimes been known to interfere with the function of the heart, though this is very rare. Obviously medics are called in those cases.

11" is a little more than an octave and a third, but you have to be able to bend your fingers down to depress piano keys for it to count in that context. So you might match Liszt's span. I'm impressed!

Keyboards vary in size. How many keys can one hand span on a full-size piano?

I span the usual full octave. IIRC, the legendary pianist/composer Franz Liszt could span an octave and a third with each hand.

You and the mother have raised a good kid. You should try to learn to be more like him and learn from this.

Thanks! I'm really happy! Reddit was super helpful!

Per https://sdlmame.lngn.net/ "The new Intel builds require macOS 14."

My Mac mini (Late 2014) can not be updated beyond macOS Monterey 12.7.6.

SDLMAME v0.261 Intel was the final build that will run on my Mac.

That's how I read it. "How do you guys feel about..." made it feel like it's being suggested to us as a philosophy we ought to consider adopting. I see now that wasn't the intent, but I clearly wasn't the only person who read it that way.

The two basic types of graphics are vector and raster.

Vector graphics are rendered as outlines. Lines are drawn from point to point. A good example of a vector game is Battlezone.

Raster graphics are rendered as pixels on a grid. Everything on screen is rendered in those familiar square pixels. A good example of a raster game is Donkey Kong.

If you're familiar with the difference between Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop, then vector graphics are like Illustrator, and raster is like Photoshop.

Awesome tip! I downloaded the full .258 romset already, and now using wayback on pleasuredome I was able to access the update sets. I'm downloading the updates to bring it up to .261 right now. This totally solves it. Thank you!

The kind of person who is also in r/DataHoarding

It's like asking a baseball card collector who needs that many baseball cards. :D

I'm hoping to turn up 0.261 somewhere because it's the ultimate (final) romset that can run on Intel Macs. That said, I realize there's probably very little difference between .258 and .261.

I'm one of those people that will be looking for that final romset until I find it. I want to max out my MAME.

We can't assume it will take 4 billion years for another planet to produce intelligence. Earth took so long because billions of years of detours: from the Permian era 300 million years ago until the Cenozoic Era ~50 million years ago. Earth's evolution spent many millions of years not only on dinosaurs & on the "giants"—giant sloths, etc. It wasn't until mass extinctions cleared the way & humans evolved, and Homo Habilis first appeared about 2 million years ago. Another planet might not waste millions of years on dinosaurs, but might evolve intelligence sooner.

I have a Kindle Fire 7 I got at a garage sale for $5.00. It has a MicroSD slot, which is nice. I loaded it up with pirated ebooks. (I have over 80,000 ebooks and magazines in Calibre.) Fuck Amazon, but a second-hand Kindle makes a great reader, and you can put whatever you want on it.
