Taco Bell is kinda its own genre of food. I’ve never wanted Mexican food and decided “close enough” with Taco Bell.

But I’ve absolutely bought Taco Bell because I was in the mood for Taco Bell.

But you still have to know about it.

Whereas the Steam Maclhine - like a Playstation, Xbox, or Nintendo - just plugs into the TV and works.

Plug in the power, run the HDMI cable to the and log into the wifi after powering it on.

It may not he for you, but there’s a huge potential audience. Somebody who is used to the console experience and wants that simplicity for playing on the couch, but wants access to PC gaming platforms like Steam.

I like tinkering with my PC, but a lot of people don’t. They like consoles because they can pick up the controller, push a button, and it powers on and works, and they never have to worry if a game will run. If it’s released on the console, it should work.

Yeah, there’s 1001 ways to get a PC running on the TV, but none of them are as dumb-simple as turning on an Xbox. This device solves that issue.

I always thought of her as a treasure hunter more than an archeologist.

It’s really, and is still very much a thing.

And they really do have a “belt” system. Because of some bullshit ai had to do at an old job, I’m a Six Sigma Yellow Belt. I’ve never had my time wasted more.

I literally typed that Aliens was the other major contender at the bottom ofnthe comment, then deleted before posting because I didn’t want to be too fanboyish about James Cameron.

But… yeah. Dude can make an action flick. Heck - the Avatar movies didn’t change the world with their messaging, but dammit if the action scenes aren’t jaw-dropping.

The TV series from the mid-2000s was actually pretty decent, but it was canceled like 2 seasons in and never finished its story.

But yeah, T2 isn’t gonna be topped. I think it is a strong contender for best action film of all time.

Seems like as good a place as any to say I did a photoshoot of an underwater poker game a few years back for the Underwater Photography class I teach at a local university.

All the really good shots had students in them, so I can’t share. I’ll check the PC later to see if I have any decent shots without people.

We don’t have any F-350s in my household…

We have 2 F-150s, a Nissan NV200 Cargo van, an RV built off an E-450, and a Ford C-Max plug in hybrid.

Yeah - I sold zero augers, and ended up calling a location in Minnesota land they were sold out, so we transferred them along with some rifles some of their customers had ordered from our used gun department that had to go through their store for the background check.

A few years ago my local Home Depot was clearancing out Haloween stuff to make room for Christmas stuff the last week of September.

I also used to work for a large destination outdoors retail chain. They held their big sales events at the same time nationwide whether or not it made sense regionally. I was in Texas, and we had a big flannel sales event for the clothing department in August when it was 110 degrees outside.

I ran the marine electronics department, and in 2018 they sent me 3 dozen ice augers for a sale. When I bitched to corporate they said Texas people vacation up North, and didn’t answer when I asked how many people they’d seen pack a 30-pound gas motor and 3-ft drill bit in their carry-on.

He was such a terrible candidate. I think he may have been okay as President, but he had zero charisma. The right couldn’t even be bothered to hate him.

Howard Dean was a more exciting candidate, but him making a weird sound in a speech somehow disqualified him from office.

They’re were like President Bush.

In 2004/2005 everyone claimed they hated them to their friends, but the numbers told a different story.

When the butchers at a single Walmart store in Texas formed a union, Walmart retaliated by firing every butcher nationwide and switching to only pre-packed meats for all stores.

They’ll put themselves through a lot to make sure the peons don’t get too uppity.

P0420 hit me this week…

Mods - please ban this

/s just to be safe

The changed ending for the film is a fucking masterpiece. Even King says it, and he’s famously bitchy about filmmakers changing his storylines.

They started with the immigrants and “criminals.” Then they openly said to imprison the homeless. Now they’re targeting comedians, judges, sexual minorities, and the neurodivergent while laying the groundwork to declare political opponents terrorists.

I actually really enjoyed how they expanded Irulan’s character.

As much hate as they get for their recent Apple-like behavior, Bambu is kinda the king of “it just works” right now. An A1 or A1 mini offer spectacular performance for the price for people who want to just start printing stuff.

If you want something enclosed for printing more advanced materials, however, there is more competition on the pricing front.
