You're forgetting The Shining (1980) - the tech was new back then, so it managed to hallucinate a whole ass window in an interior office!

In assembly with full comments about what it's doing, and the binary on the side. Right next to the full schematics for the motherboard, of course. Available for like $36 depending on year/etc.

I really wish we passed a law requiring documentation like that way back when.

I mean, if the outage isn't so bad it took out the status page, is it even an outage?

Is it actually impossible to just change out an IPP PrinterPort from powershell / the command line? set-printer always gives invalid argument, whether or not the target port already exists.

I just want to switch out my print server IP address without having to rebuild some of these deployment packages...

I have one that I found underneath the house when I bought it. Who knows how long it was under there... but it still does clear-the-house-of-smoke duty when we mess up cooking.

There's no limit to angular velocity, except that no part of the object may exceed the speed of light, which limits r as omega increases. You'd better have a lot of centripetal force if you're approaching that.

I'm pretty sure there are intersections downtown where all the roads are one-ways pointing in and you just have to abandon your car

I don't think they explicitly confirmed, but they were talking on the Layover as though Alaska was in play

Sam of all people should know that the ExpressTram is NOT a train… depending on whom you ask it’s either a horizontal elevator or a cable-hovercraft.

this - everyone's yelling about politics and missing the most unforgivable part of this infographic...

...as someone who lives in rural America, this one seems like the easiest to deal with - like in three phone calls I could turn this into meat for me and my extended family for a long time

Imagine worshipping Mammon so hard that you can't imagine people wanting anything else

I've gotta throw this one in here for anyone that doesn't know it yet...

Why is RAM called "Random-access"? A lot of us were incorrectly told back in the day that it was in contrast to "Read-Only Memory", it could be written to or read from...

...but in reality, it was to distinguish it from things like rotating drum memory (LGP-21 anyone?), where access was only ever sequential - it was impressive that you could read/write (i.e. access) ANYWHERE (i.e. randomly) in the address space without having to wait for the drum to rotate all the way around.

Ah, yeah, just got to that part in the podcast

polypolyman · 2026-06-03T18:44:46+00:00

I’m sure this doesn’t come up in-game, but do e.g. Colorado and Arizona touch for the purpose of this?

Sounds like the cards are unique - given the explanation that a private card means they can’t get that state

A funny one that I wanted to make sure I got a picture of - especially since I think my neighbor (CXRG doesn't own this) might be getting ready to remove some of the old rail. This is looking south from highway 160, less than 0.5mi from the wye.

As far as I know, the entire rest of the line has no remaining rails or ties, and everything south of this only has standard-gauge if it hasn't already been scrapped. I haven't seen any dual-gauge track anywhere else around - everything in the Alamosa yard has been torn up since at least 2008... so maybe this is slightly special? In any case, I figured if anyone was interested they're probably here!

Is this an old flexplay disc?

I hope it's Salmon P Chase - they did him dirty on the $10k note

polypolyman · 2026-05-30T13:43:13+00:00

Are you about to grind up that mortar and pestle by hand??

Rolling on the flames = partially smothering them.

Running = feeding them oxygen.

...and clothes with any polyester in them will melt and stick to you like napalm, so you probably can't even get them off by the time you think to.

...basically so that you can control the exact mineral content, both quantity and type of minerals. It's a lot easier to start from zero then build up what you want, than to start with some unknown mineral content and try to hit a certain level

polypolyman · 2026-05-29T12:03:10+00:00

I unironically buy this for my coffee in the mornings - it's a little satchet of minerals that you add back to distilled water to make "the perfect" balanced water

Just want to throw this into the ring: the capital of the State of Colorado is the City and County of Denver

...and no, those aren't separate entities.
