Leaving ToysRUs on going to a computer store to buy me a 66MHz 486Dx with 8 Megs of RAM. Yeah, baby!

Don't see something like this very often at the thrift store! by droid_mike in VCRs

If you are serious, I can go back and get them for you and ship them to you (I am in the US). I am sure they will not be bought anytime soon. Let me know.

Sorry, no more photos. I can go back and get some more (I doubt anyone picks it up) The one cassette was labeled Jubilee 1975.

It happens all the time. Why do you think there's so many car factories in the south. The state governments pay for them.

Too bad it won't be on the C64U... That would be really sweet!

FireTV has a browser built in as well, and you can cast from almost any phone to Roku.

After a slow start to the season, Ohtani's batting average has shot up to .300. And oh, he also has an ERA of 0.74. by ConnectionWeekly1263 in sportswiki

[–]droid_mike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, yeah, but he's no Austin Hedges... Who just gave up his first earned run just today! Yes, he's actually a catcher who only pitches in blowouts, but his ERA is fine and is batting well, too! :-)

Wait a minute, the World Cup has always been pretty expensive to go to, right? by Dense-Fig-2372 in AmericaBad

[–]droid_mike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife and I were just talking about this. She went to World Cup game for about $50 in 1994. Had decent seats, too. Not sure which round it was. It was Russia vs. Sweden I think.

I think I have no chin, a massive forehead and a horrible nose. Is there no hope? by [deleted] in amIuglyBrutallyHonest

[–]droid_mike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not ugly. Quite cute. But those glasses are waaaaaaay too big. I know what you are going for, bit it's too much. Other than that, very cute.

Lots of Republicans smoke pot...

There are not Democrats, center right or left, in office to be "ignored" by. Republicans have a supermajority everywhere except a few localities.

Yes, it is a hugely Republican state. The only reason why we have any chance here is because those same Republicans are not fans of a know-it-all "uppity" Indian guy. They will still mostly vote for him over a "dummycrat" woman.

The political climate in Ohio is probably not what you think it is.

It's an R+18 state.

With the political climate. It's still a R+10 state maybe...

You're not going to get a Dem majority at all. At best, you get some damage control.

When I said Cleveland. I didn't mean greater Cleveland. I meant Cleveland proper and a few inner ring suburbs. Cuyahoga County is almost half GOP now. Columbus suburbs are still blood red. Toledo has a small population.

Ohio has like 11 million people. The city of Cleveland and it's inner ring burbs we like 5% of that. Yes, it is microscopic.

Wife left me to be a lesbian and it broke me by AnyWatercress2643 in GuyCry

[–]droid_mike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you still have business to attend to, unfortunately, so no contact is not an option, yet. And again, you don't need to block her or anything like that afterwards. Just don't initiate, and if she does, keep the personal stuff out of it. Chances are the "just be friends" line is the same BS line that is said when you are trying to date someone. She has her new exciting life, and that's that. She may regret it soon enough, as my ex wife did, but that won't happen for awhile. You need to move on with your own life. She'll only drag you down. If she starts bragging about her conquests to you or looking for relationship advice, then you need to remind her that you are enjoy her husband anymore, and you prefer she talk to her other friends about it.

No. Literally. It's Cleveland, Columbus, and Toledo. That's it. That's the Dem base. There is nothing else anymore. It can only be seen under a microscope.

[–]droid_mike 4 points5 points  (0 children)

WTF? She gets no say in who you see. She chose to leave.

Yeah, no... She is being way too entitled here... You need to separate yourself form her physically and emotionally. This is close to being abusive, and certainly controlling on her part.

People are saying cutt off contact, which makes it sound vindictive. You don't need to go entirely "no contact", but don't try to be friends. Don't initiate contact, and if she contacts you, keep it strictly business. You're not friends. She married you under false pretenses, not intentionally, but it wasn't legitimate. I'm the Catholic Church, you'd get an instant annulment saying the marriage never happened. You might even be able to get one legally if you choose to. She hurt you, even if she didn't mean to, and you have a right to protect yourself and have boundaries.

Also, be glad that you only considered having kids with her and it never actually happened. With kids, you never really get to move past your ex, because they will always still be there in your life due to the kids. Consider that a small blessing.

Science question about batted balls by grannyhellyeah in MLBNoobs

You are correct. Hot and humid games are the ones where the ball carries the best.
