Do you still have to download things called GNOME Hacks to change things that should have regularly accessible settings?

I thought this would be focused on the parents coming in to assault the teachers.

I hate to be that guy, but computer prices, even Apple machines, are still so cheap.

My first 'modern' Mac was the 13" 2010 MacBook Pro, and it was $1299. The current Air is $1299. Inflation be damned.

Let's not even go back in time and look at what the PowerBook G4 or PowerBook 5300c cost...


That would be ~$1,995 today due to inflation. That's basically what the entry-level 14 inch MacBook Pro costs today. You're comparing the Pro to the Air's pricing.


So many parallels with Angry Birds.

Appeals to all groups, released on every platform. Then come the sequels, special editions (like Christmas Lemmings), and then it just kind of faded away.

Lemmings just didn't get a movie and merchandising.


Lemmings was one of the 3-5 inspirations for the Commandos games: - giving different tasks to characters over the level to finish it. Lost Vikings won over Cannonfodder and the Commandos would be very defined characters not a mass of generic soldiers. - levels structured as "bubbles" of logical challenge; after you solve one you typically move on to the next one, eventually reaching the level finish.

The Commandos series also parallels a bit of the history, fizzling out very quickly after Commandos 2, when it might have seemed that the sky was the limit for the series.


There was a stage show[0] (just kidding).

They'll be right back in two years


Naïve American exceptionalism. It is going to be generations before Canadians could possibly be on as friendly terms as we were just 5 years ago.


No. The US has shown it is completely unreliable.

Even if Democrats were to be back in power and devote their 4 years to restore things and apologize, that wouldn’t be enough.

Americans have shown they can vote TWICE for a fascist regime that is willing and eager to generate chaos.

Their political system is foobar.


They'll undo like 30% of the damage and call that a win.


I started buying some this year when Slickdeals would post something, whether it was from Amazon or closeouts at the auto parts stores. Even grabbed some $18 Walmart Supertech.


2018+ Ford Mustang V8 for one.

GM V8's take 8 quarts


Kind of an odd viscosity unless you have classic cars or live in a hot climate


He says "old iron", that could mean anything, but in my personal opinion it's probably for the best to bump up a weight once a car gets over 150k on the odometer. You get a little thicker film to compensate for wear, a bit higher viscosity to cut down on any leakage, and the same low temp performance.

I would not play around with it on anything with VVT, but it's a pretty common "hack" for pre-2010'ish motors and probably even a good idea.


Florida. 89 Dodge p/u, 92 Buick, 96 Toyota and my son daily drives a 63 Dart. We have a 61 Sunliner I drive when the weather cools down.


Write the program, punch the cards, send the cards to another building to be loaded, program runs, printout comes out in another building, somehow this takes 2-3 days


Coding is the new punch card slots now. My children will listen in awe about how typing and testing used to take hours or even (gasp!) days.


> But no, let's in fact choose the stupidest possible way of doing it — by rendering everything as HTML commit by commit and then parsing it.

I feel like I'm at work.

We had some web crawler using Selenium to make queries and scrape the data instead of just downloading the whole file.

Every day it seems like we have some people that know just enough to be dangerous creating things like that. And then of course it's our fault that things are slow, or we won't give them infinite system resources, etc
