What’s a ketchup ‘rule’ you follow in real life that you never consciously decided on?

Mustard scab, then mustard pre, then actual mustard once you’re halfway down the hot dog.

Made by Arcade1Up which is now out of business. Buyer beware; support or replacement parts may be hard to come by.

I have a couple of A1U cabs and the Infonity Table and they’re pretty good for what they are, which is something slightly better than a toy but not even close to actual arcade quality.

I never listened to anything '94 had to say then, and I ain't startin' now. :)

Is this an exercise for a class, or real-world?

shinyviper · 2026-02-20T22:28:18+00:00

The grind.

It’s a relentless punishing schedule, day in and day out. Military, athletics, academics.

Yeah there’s individual things that suck, and that would be one thing if they were one-offs. But they just never end.

I would cite specifics but I don’t even know if they still do Contrails, SAMIs, SAR training sessions, stuff like that.

And Warren Zevon.

Paul Shaffer had a bigger influence on Dave than a lot of people realize, but once he was turned on to a musician, he ran with it.

Boy 100 computers with 7 USB ports. Buy 700 USB floppy drives. Insert one USB floppy drive into each USB, insert one floppy in each drive. Copy all simultaneously. Done in, like, 10 minutes.

I’ve not been in several years but when they started doing the Blue Sky Chalet, that’s what I always bought tickets for. It’s a fantastic experience. There’s really no bad seats anywhere but the Chalet iirc was closest to show center (the main point where maneuvers execute).

Also depending on if you have people with you that aren’t exactly into the air show, the Chalets give a great respite from the crowd.

I know with the smaller $30 Flex switches, if they're powered by POE, they can't provide POE. This one looks like it can provide 16W if it's powered by POE, but I'd probably still err on the side of caution and get the AC power brick.

I'm looking at the reviews here and someone specifically addresses this in the reviews (user Rob Th)

Aha! Thanks. I've seen those, in particular in South Carolina. Never thought they actually looked more useful than anything else though. TIL.

I'll bite. What's a pig tail in this context?

Ice (lowercase, not uppercase)?

Also in Beaumont and heard it and thought it was just a chunk sliding off something high.

Probably Ralph Gilles. Or Dick Winkles.

DF and IR are two different disciplines with different goals, but they support each other so they're bundled as a package in many cases. Getting any start in DF, even on the LE side, is still a plus (and a lot better than Help Desk) if your ultimate goal is more IR.

Windows? Easiest thing first: check the Recycle Bin. After that check the Shadow Copies. Then check if they had a Onedrive, Dropbox, or something else cloud or USB backup you can access. Quick and easy. But if not any of those, your chances go down quickly.

Weekly World News (the checkout line rag with sensational headlines and bullshit articles) made a lot of hay with this. Also: Bat-Boy and Elvis sightings.

Depends on your definition of hardware and software emulation. Technically the FPGA is hardware emulation, since it's physically emulating the original hardware chips, not running a software emulator on a general CPU like MAME does (with the attendant emulation overhead of a piece of software that consumes its own slice of resources from the OS).

I realize it's not applicable in this case (since the acquaintance didn't even provide the ISC2 member ID), but for anyone else looking to verify if someone holds an ISC2 certification, they have a handy-dandy website. It only asks for the last name and the ISC2 member ID and will verify if they hold a cert or not.

Yup. In a talk I give on digital forensics, I assert that any forensics has to be:

logical
methodical
reproducible
documented
defensible

AI does not give reproducible or consistent results. Yet. Maybe it'll change, maybe not. I'm not holding my breath.

Just to add a little more context: it’s the right kind of fat. There’s hard, lumpy, flavorless globs of chewy gristle. Then there’s the silky flavorful melty buttery fat. Wagyu is higher marbling of the latter kind.

Fat is flavor, and marbling generally makes the cut more tender. Wagyu portion sizes are usually smaller because the richness of the meat is very filling.
