computers are like a decade old

I feel called out lol! To be fair, I’ve wanted to upgrade for quite awhile, but most of my spare money has been going to vet bills for stray cats, which is a little more important to me than upgrading my pc.

So terrible dangerous of him…(Clutches pearls) Someone might have gotten high off all that devil’s lettuce!!

Several theories have been put forward for the origin of the term in a film context. One explanation pertains to the practice of “block booking” whereby a studio would sell a package of films to theaters, rather than permitting them to select which films they wanted to exhibit. However, this practice was outlawed in 1948 before the term became common parlance; while pre-1948 high-grossing big-budget spectacles may be retroactively labelled “blockbusters,” this is not how they were known at the time. Another explanation is that trade publications would often advertise the popularity of a film by including illustrations showing long queues often extending around the block, but in reality the term was never used in this way. The term was actually first coined by publicists who drew on readers’ familiarity with the blockbuster bombs, drawing an analogy with the bomb’s huge impact. The trade press subsequently appropriated the term as short-hand for a film’s commercial potential

Pretty much the same for me except I use a pc to run the tv, with a wireless keyboard and mouse.

You already found the answer but I was going to comment that the pic was a joke… a train wouldn’t even notice those things on the track.

They do have derailers that are designed to specifically pop a train off the tracks though. They are made of steel and are usually put on the end of secondary lines just before they meet a normal line. In the event that if a train car rolls away it ensures that it can’t roll into an active line and cause an accident but will instead get derailed and popped off the tracks.

Along the same lines, A lot of times I’ll think of saying/doing something but then end up second guessing myself so much that I have to look it up just to confirm I’m not wrong. Then I feel even more stupid for not believing myself the first time.

Pocket change for the Nazi douche nozzle but still nice to see when he doesn’t get his way.

The guys at the top, or the common rube? The ones at the top are just there to steal everything that isn’t nailed down, the rest are so full of disinformation and bullshit that they couldn’t tell you the time of day without Fox news telling them first.

Worst part is many of them would rather go down with the ship than admit that they got fucked by a whiny man in orange makeup wearing a diaper.

Ah well that sucks. Canadian dimes are magnetic, I thought it may have been similar.

Are american dimes not magnetic? A magnetic floor sweeper should have worked great there.

Prison. Not a cushy one, just regular prison.

There’s been a lot of impersonated accounts popping up lately, so it doesn’t surprise me they’ve opted to do something like this.

They evolved to chew nuts that fell into the water

Ok well, I’m never swimming again.

Did the led strip die, or did the power supply just crap out? It’s a pretty simple fix if it’s just the power supply that failed.

I have several lights I use in my room. I have a led strip behind my tv, one led bulb that stays on pretty much 24/7 in the corner, and two overhead “main” lights for when I need to really light things up.

For sure, but it’s still nice to actually have the data to back it up.

Fresnel lenses (like the kind you can tear out of old projection tv’s) work great for that, but they’re kind of a pain and bulky, and very impractical. I have one I took out of an old 55" projection tv. I think charcoal firestarters by a tire works better and can be “deployed” in seconds, but concentrated light is still pretty cool. This vid shows how well they can work.
