I own a couple actual vintage arcade machines and paid less for them than this. If you shop around you can find deals.

I also have one of these 1up cabs and it is definitely not like vintage. Software may be the same but it is using a modern monitor not a CRT. I think I paid around 300 for it several years ago. Not full size.

?

I LOVED TA back in the day. I recently bought it again off Steam.

Atari 2600 gamez! Very cool. I still have my 2600 and the TV I used when I was a kid. Both still work.

Also, so glad someone put arcade games on their list.

Ultima IV !!! Now that’s a name I’ve not heard in a long time.

I played that on my Commodore 64 and waited a loooong time for the (actually floppy) disk drive to spin up.

I bet most people here don’t know any of the Ultima games.

Fuckin SHUT UP!

We don’t want to give those MS assholes ANY ideas.

Degoogle instead.

I’ve always been pretty bad at Tetris. This video was very engaging and entertaining. It tells a great story.

I don’t think injecting someone with a sedative AFTER they’re handcuffed makes any sense. And if ketamine has any negative interactions with anything then it is not safe to inject anyone.

Has this really been considered carefully enough? If anyone might have died from it then it needs to stop until it has been studied very carefully and completely.

No one should die from being arrested. Stop the insanity.

I recently figured out that I can make fresh chopped baby spinach (and kale and chard) by chopping it up and frying it in my cast iron frying pan with some avo oil.

Top it off with lemon juice. Tastes great.

I’m a bit confused about those anti features. Can anyone explain?

If you really want to isolate it, grapheneOS lets you put it in its own profile almost totally isolated from anything in any other profile.

But you probably don’t want to buy a g! Pixel.

You could buy a separate phone and only run that app on it. Hassle but it would be secure.

God Gave Rock and Roll To You was a hit for Kiss.

I think there is a whole lot of variability in this equation. I do try to keep some “cushion” in the bank, but I can borrow if I have to. So if I have drained the savings I can still get by via borrowing for a while if necessary.

I’m fortunate that my employment is very steady. The chances of me losing my job are slim. If it were less steady I’d be better about keeping that cash stashed.

If the unlikely did happen and I lost my job I would pretty quickly have access to a large stash of cash. Which I’d rather save but would spend if it saves my ass from starving and foreclosure.

You’re right.

It WOULD make economic sense to sell those kids into slavery.

Why not profit from those rug rats?

That sounds really good. I think I’ll try that.

I sometimes do similar but unsalted mixed nuts instead of peanut butter.

Location services off. VPN on. Above average web browser.

What should I do next?

Yes. Bikes and kayaks and canoes.

Goin after the rails on a crazy train!

Yes.

I spent hours this weekend biking on some awesome bike trails. And camped at a lovely state park this summer. And walked sidewalks and trails for endless hours in my city.

How about libraries too? Playgrounds for the mind and spirit.
