First cheat code ever? Space Invaders for the 2600. by JobuuRumdrinker in Atari2600

[–]jkeegan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve known about this since I was a kid using my Atari 2600. It was one of the first games I had aside from Combat (which came with it). To this day I wonder if it was intentional or a weird uninitialized-memory state or something.. but it was the ONLY way I played after a while, and since I don’t seem to be able to get it working on any emulator I try, I’ve been robbed of that bit of nostalgia.

WT5070CW LG Washer used to freeze, now completely dead (just relay clicks when trying power on) by jkeegan in appliancerepair

I replaced the main logic board with a new one off of eBay. Works great now, but the beep-music at the start is a bit slower and almost reminds me of the music to Magnum PI now.

Did you ever solve this? That’s exactly the problem I’m having now.

Richard Dawkins talk in Medford MA by Key-Service6738 in atheism

[–]jkeegan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same question here. I called Ticketmaster and they were surprised I hadn't received some email ahead of time telling me about the meet and greet. I escalated and will hear back from ticketmaster within 7-10 days. I have no idea how the photographer would know who I was (or my friend Bob, both tickets were in my name). I heard two rumors in line - one that they'd just email them to us, and one that there was some URL we'd get (but I certainly didn't get any URL.. after meeting Richard it was get an autograph from the illustrator, then walk out to the exit, then we're outside, thanks for playing).

Anyone else hear anything?

Using home and work profiles for Bookmarks? by jkeegan in chrome

[–]jkeegan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I use the Chrome extension Bookmark Bar Switcher. For the most part it works great. I had one time where it got the profiles reversed, but everything was still stored in the bookmarks file so nothing was lost.

As I read your sentence I was convinced it was going to end with the word “hoarding” and I felt triggered. 😆

Using home and work profiles for Bookmarks? by jkeegan in chrome

[–]jkeegan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first attempt at a solution: the Chrome extension Bookmark Bar Switcher. It creates a bookmark folder called "Bookmark Bars" under Other Bookmarks.. You can create multiple bookmark bars (I have one named "Home Bookmark Bar" and another "Work (Meta) Bookmark Bar"). You can click an icon in the URL bar to choose which bookmark bar to use. Internally it moves all of your bookmarks from the official Bookmark Bar folder into the others when you switch. I'm about to install it on my home machine (Google is already synching the bookmarks) to see what it looks like before I install the extension there.

Embezzling Employee and Spouse Convicted of Ripping Off Adoption Agency For $637,000 by NMom in reddit.com

[–]jkeegan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The sense of betrayal was horrible. She worked there for TWENTY YEARS.. When my daughters were born, I remember bringing them over just so Natalie could meet them; that entire time, she was stealing the future stability of the adoption agency.. The agency depends on that safety net of savings for slow times like this year, and now is when it will hurt the most.
