In Elder Scrolls III on Xbox, there was a memory leak that they couldn't fix, so sometimes when the game is loading a new area, it actually reboots the Xbox. Apparently there's a way the developer can keep a freeze frame loading screen up while the console completely reboots.

Not everything

If you're ok with a screwdriver, you can mod a Casio F91-W and add a .beat watchface https://www.sensorwatch.net/docs/watchfaces/clock/#beat-time

Sundials.

Now if you want to get really pissed, the magnetic North Pole is actually the South Pole of the Earth’s magnetic field. We call it the North Pole because the north side of a magnet points to it.

Man, we've really come far since the 90s haven't we?

I bet they'd do it BattleToads style where you're fighting Maris from Maris' perspective.

It's like carcinisation for public transit.

I want everyone to realize that the only reason AI seems intelligent is because it speaks English.

It's in an AlphaSmart. I'm working through disassembling the ROM to add some new features.

You just vastly improved a family story that we've told numerous times over the years. Thank you for sharing your meth-related knowledge.

Also, I think this hotel was across the street from a house that exploded the previous year, so yeah. Bremerton.

I'm currently reading Where the Wizards Stay Up Late. According to the book, Eisenhower was annoyed at how much the military branches jumped on projects to secure funding, so he made a non-military department called ARPA. And ARPA invented the internet.

Let's do more of that.

I've been working on disassembling some 8-bit code from the 90s. Fuckers returned bits from functions using the overflow bit. Nuts.

I once considered moving from Seattoe to Bremerton, WA to take advantage of the much cheaper real estate. In attempt to get a feel for the daily commute, I decided to stay at a Super 8 in Bremerton for a week. 5 minutes into that experiment, I flicked on the AC unit that looks just like this one and it reeked of cat pee.

I did not move to Bremerton.

When the animal council convened to decide what to do with the humans, only two animals stood in our defense.

The first was the dog.

The second was the mosquito.

Unless you're playing prophunt in which case, you're golden.
