This guy sounds like a straight shooter with upper management written all over him. Legend.

They will take measures such as installing cameras in offices, presumably to ensure that not a single moment of a sexual encounter is missed by their devoted followers.

We knew that if you pressed the satellite button and channel up/down, it let you manually move the dish, and it didn’t care how long you did it. There were also numbers to indicate the position of the dish. The rest was just sheer determination.

Had C-band satellite as a teen. All the good channels locked. But if the satellite Spacenet 1 transponder 18 was locked, you could “fine tune” the reception from say, Galaxy 3 transponder 18 by holding the step up or down button, and manually swing the dish halfway across the sky to the same position where Spacenet 1 is. As the descrambler thinks you are watching a different satellite altogether, there is no more lock. And since you never actually visited a bad channel, no way to tell with history or last buttons.

Windows on Linux though. Guy probably has Wine in his cup holder.

His dog told him to do it, so you can’t really blame him, right?

True, and it even tracks with the lack of success for Joan Rivers’ talk show career.

TIL the title of this article is similarly misleading. He didn’t spend 18 years on the crapper either.

Not so much as a shred of shenanigans.

Some say that forklift is still running today.

Ooh, I remember playing Monster Maze and Math Hurdler on a dual-sided cassette. Avenger (basically Space Invaders) on cartridge. Also typed in Killer Comet and Tank vs UFO from a magazine. Last one was probably the best of the lot.

Thank you for providing legitimate discourse. Pretty rare in this kind of thread, but it’s important.

I expected to at least see what number doubled in one year.

Yeah, and it’s gonna be on the Saturday after no matter what day that turns out to be.

It’s Scarry. Honestly, I am not sure which is worse for an author of children’s books.

Those glass bottles used to cause an awful lot of horrific deaths and injuries during handling, so from a safety perspective, there is no desire at all to return to glass. Glass bottles are also much heavier than plastic, so have a commensurate environmental impact due to the increased consumption of fossil fuels for shipping as well. Fixing the problems with plastic was a big PR win and saved companies millions in law suits and shipping costs. They won’t go back to glass. The answer is probably re-usable plastic containers purchased by the customer and refilled at stores for the same price (or more) than when sold in disposable plastic packaging. Another PR win in the offing, no doubt.

Here comes the airplane!

It’s a commonly commiserated problem because it impacts different people to differing degrees. Some are actually impaired by the light, and I imagine others just complain because they have to avert their gaze to the edge of the road but don’t actually lose their night vision. But if you have ever had LASIK, have a vitamin A deficiency, a genetic condition impacting vision, or a more common condition such as diabetes or cataracts, the way light passes through your eye is different than normal and bright lights at night can blind you. You may not notice that you don’t have particularly good night vision unless you are around someone who does. If in doubt, it probably doesn’t hurt to get it checked out, especially if it didn’t bother you when you were younger but does now.
