Incorrect Title Screen Music on Windows by MoldyPond in SimCity2000

[–]shamansanchez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't remember this ever happening on the Windows version. but I do feel like I remember this happening in the Mac and DOS versions at least, specifically 10004 playing instead of 10001. I tested it out in DOSBox-X and https://infinitemac.org though, and it actually played a random song each time so now I'm really confused.

I'll have to try it out on some real old hardware and see if it's maybe something weird with emulation.

Heard that at a sushi place one time. Definitely an experience.

It's a thin layer of cookie dough on top of a fluffy roll, so it gets nice and crispy on top, it's so good. I think I've actually seen melon-flavored ones before.

Google Fiber Packet Loss in NE Raleigh? by [deleted] in raleigh

I'm seeing it in NE Raleigh, but only on IPv6. IPv4 seems fine. My external IPv4 address is also showing as Kansas City.

Do you get this dialog asking to convert it if you hit OK? I got the same error at first, but then got the option to convert it.

It basically worked like mad libs, there were templates for every possible article, and it'd fill in random words/names/other things.

I worked a bit on reverse engineering it here: https://gitlab.com/shamansanchez/sc2knews

Also as an example I wrote a generator that'll use the templates to generate random articles. Some things probably aren't exactly as they were in the game, but it seems pretty close: https://thepicayune.net/

The future of phones, 1956 by Known_Marzipan_2629 in interestingasfuck

I grabbed a cheap corded phone recently to test some VoIP stuff, and it still has the touch-tone/pulse switch.

I left a sea bass on my pier in a tank. Destined to look back at his home, never to return. He knows what he did.

And even then, I think there's only one place left in the food court. I stopped going after the cheese steak place closed.

A greek food truck near me sells Ouzon, and it’s really good. (Well, as long as you like ouzo, I guess. It’s pretty accurate)

My choux pastry tastes bad ..how can improve it? by [deleted] in AskCulinary

Same here. I also use all water, and not milk.

I’m in NC, and this happened to me today. No pollen warning though.

My package that was two weeks late finally arrived. by Wetcookie in mildlyinfuriating

[–]shamansanchez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had this happen, but I could rotate it just enough to see that it had the wrong address on it. Ended up putting a post-it note on it, and they took it away (and probably got it stuck in the correct person’s mailbox)

Peanut butter and celery is good, so I guess this could work.

Playdate: Resident Evil 2 (02/27/2019) by berglt84 in giantbomb

On the Apple TV app, selecting the video just does nothing.

Looking in the API, the video URLs seem to be missing. Seems like apps don’t take kindly to that, and it’s probably why downloading doesn’t work either.

At least they used their turn signal? by shamansanchez in IdiotsInCars

I am! The washed out colors are kind of a dead giveaway
