Big tough when the only other thing on that late at night were knife salesmen and ‘Oldies But Goodies, complete hits of the 50’s and 60’s’ infomercials

They’re like a pair of scissor blades, you need both cooperating to cut effectively

Tv remotes had a recall button so you could easily flip between two different shows to avoid the commercial breaks. The worst was when the commercials aligned

Gonna go a little left field if that’s allowed, I’ve been dipping my toes into solo boardgames and I’ve thoroughly been enjoying Doom Machine. It’s a super neat game that fits in a mint tin, consists of some dice and cards, sets up in minutes and plays in 15-30 minutes.

Video game wise, playing through Golden Sun at the moment. Nothing to add there that hasn’t already been said 10x as eloquently. Amazing game

Good thing Tik Tok already told me I’m AUDHD so that Rednote doesn’t have to try and signal that to me solely through cat videos and people chilling in tiny cars eating dank food

Biden White House had signaled

What, like a light in the sky? I love the implication that they should have broken this law because porky slightly hinted they wouldn’t get upset about it

I’ve been denied renting an apartment because of my credit score, lol. [dastardly chinese authoritarians]

Personally I want some novel display technology that isn’t light blasted directly into my eyeballs. Or more options for interesting display technologies at least.

Laser Phosphor Displays look interesting, functionally like a CRT except it’s a laser striking the phosphor screen instead of electrons. Probably the closest I could ever see to a new production CRT.

Field-emission displays also look interesting, basically a tiny matrix of micro electron guns producing phosphor “pixels” instead of scanning the image one line at time. SED’s are pretty similar, also very cool.

Love how an ambulance is out of reach of even wealthy cyber truck owning seniors, lol

Very “I put my seatbelt on right before I see the accident coming” energy
