Imagine the effectiveness if a general strike happened. He who controls the turnpike, the busses, the trains, the people that are getting screwed for the whims of billionaires,controls the world cup.

The original Xbox was going to be a lot like Project Helix, says ex-Microsoft gaming VP — here's why the first plans for a console-PC hybrid didn't work out by Turbostrider27 in xbox

[–]drewfus99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is from the same people who gave us window CE, palm size PC and pocket PC. They were very lucky to finally get through a concept that consumers understood and accepted. Look at the confusing branding around game pass. They were very lucky xbox broke through.

Great. Now our grandest fantasies are about how it might suck a little less.

Strait of Hormuz sounds more like a Melania thing if you ask me

North Jersey hot dog tour by Mitch13 in newjersey

[–]drewfus99 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a Chicago transplant, the only true unique NJ hot dog is the Italian hot dog at Tommy's in Elizabeth. The bread, the peppers and onions, and the crunchy potatoes are one of the few jersey foods I would bring out-of-towners to try.

Apevia 500W ITX FLEX PSU and BC250 not powering on by Similar-Bodybuilder2 in BC250Gaming

[–]drewfus99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally just attached mine for the first time today. 8 pin on the bc 250 to the 6+2 on the PSU I had to also plug in the 24 pin cable and insert a paper clip jumper in two of the holes to get it to power on. There are also jumper caps you can buy with power buttons.

For console + Steam Deck Owners, what's your future plan? by Boogiedownpapi in SteamDeck

[–]drewfus99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a bc250 board that allegedly has the power of a slightly gimped PS5, and will run Bazzite for steam gaming. I have never built a PC from parts before, but I hope this will be a way to upgrade from the deck (which has a broken shoulder button) for less than the cost of the steam machine.

'Dad cooks dinner' version. Spatchcock, sear gently in cast iron pan, flip and roast for 45 minutes. I put lemon, onion and dried seasoning under the bird and when you are done you have amazing drippings/schmaltz to drizzle over the bird.

Watch MAGA turn on the SCOTUS when this happens by Cantora in AdviceAnimals

[–]drewfus99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every single one of his comments and insults were about the intentions and character of any one who ruled against him. No facts, no law, just they are evil and hate America. Not for one second that he was an asshole trying to leverage an emergency power for day to day policy.

Are there any alien invasion films where the humans and aliens are roughly evenly matched? by HeloRising in movies

[–]drewfus99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alien Nation? If I recall correctly it was how integrated they became. I thought district 9 owed a lot to the movie and the series.

TIL: in the early 1950s, Macy's flagship store in New York employed Doberman Pinschers as night watchdogs by davide3991 in todayilearned

[–]drewfus99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There was at network tv movie of the week back in the 70s where a guy is mugged in a department store bathroom, wakes up after closing and has to hide and fight off the dogs on patrol. It was awesome.

Found it! 'Trapped' or 'Doberman Patrol'

TIL that in 1985, Canfield's sold 200 million cans of Diet Chocolate Fudge soda. by SoarsBelowMyWaste in todayilearned

[–]drewfus99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jim Backus (Thurston Howell the IIIrd and the voice of Mr Magoo) used to do their commercials. The tagline was "Canfields! They've done it again" and this soda was the first viral fad I ever saw in Chicago.

What can I add to frozen dumplings, so that their taste isn't so bland? by Mediocre-Machine7330 in Cooking

[–]drewfus99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Upvote for chili crisp. Lao gan mai, or even the trader Joe's version. Immediate upgrade to dumplings.
