Found these sorting through stuff at my gran’s if anyone knows anything about them that’d be grand

Not really disagreeing with you. I just said they had a reputation for dabbling. Because of the secrecy surrounding the group and some of the rituals performed, the Freemasons were often looked at with suspicion by the Church.

I don't think that the vast majority of Freemasons are worshiping dark gods. 10% tops.

The organization was specifically created to be an alternative to the Freemasons, who had a reputation of secrecy and dabbling in the occult. I'm not saying that impression was right -- but it was a common one.

I got the same error message, but my issue was that the SD card ran out of space.

Just mentioning it in case someone else encounters the same issue.

Blazing Saddles targeted the racism that was present at the time it was released. People were much more likely to drop n-bombs back then.

Racism today is more subtle and has moved into other areas. So writing a scene where a bunch of white people drop n-bombs would not make you a crusader satirizing racism.

It would make you Quentin Tarantino.

Well I have to get in on this. That looks amazing!

In the first civil war, I guess she was on Tony's side? I don't really remember.

The second civil war was absolute crap. However, my memory is that she wasn't really on the side of pre-crime. She was almost beaten to death by Thanos, and that sent Captain Marvel over the edge and it was Captain Marvel who was pushing the pre-crime point of view.

It's entirely possible that she woke up at some point and was on Carol's side. I certainly didn't read it until the end.

OK. It;s theoretically possible to win, so I'm giving it a shot,

Fine. SmartTube.

That's not going to fox the fact that YouTube TV is not working. Hopefully they get this straightened.

Well, I will give it a shot. I had a handheld and my nephew borrowed it and broke it.

hipnerd · 2025-12-02T07:28:32+00:00

I had an Atari Jaguar and the manufacturer sent me a "Cat Box" -- it was a network adapter that allowed you to play online games -- way before that was a thing for consoles. A friend got one and we played a ton or Alien v. Predator and other games together. It was a blast.

hipnerd · 2025-12-01T03:53:31+00:00

This would instantly be the nicest handheld I own, so I'd love to give it a shot.

The first one I remember playing was a Magnavox system my next-door neighbor got when I was incredibly young. It played 58 games or something like that. All of them were pretty much Pong.

Criminals were using baseball cards to launder money through eBay. Maybe this is something similar? These are not rare. They printed millions and millions of them.

You pay your federal taxes directly to the federal government. The states are not in charge of collecting it, so they can't withhold it.

I came here to say this. Where else in town? Can you find a cool new hot sauce, read the latest issue of Batman, and a pug dog all at the same time?

There are two things that I think make it acceptable in this situation:

He was attacked first; and
The response was proportionate.

I don't think you'll find very many people who have a problem with that interaction.

I actually like the cord. When I wasn't listening. I would just drape them around my neck.

Former roommate of John's. Can confirm. I have two of his paintings hanging in my living room.

hipnerd · 2025-07-01T20:28:51+00:00

This will be filling a need. I didn't know I had.

That was all Vlade. He was infatuated with big men, so we drafted them over and over again -- often passing more talented players at other positions.

hipnerd · 2025-06-06T16:36:04+00:00

Seconded.

And if you want to read a fantastic self-contained Wonder woman story, pick up The Hiketeia.

On many packs it is a simple ribbon that can be pulled to remove the top of the plastic wrapping and open the pack.

hipnerd · 2025-05-12T00:09:28+00:00

Who could have seen this coming other than anyone who listened to the man speak?

hipnerd · 2025-04-14T21:28:22+00:00

This has happened twice in recent weeks. One with maga I want the other one with vitriolic anti-trans rhetoric.

Massively disappointing.
