I’ve got an older powerful Intel machine with a decent gfx card. Found my MSFT FSX box. Cool! Retro gaming time! Just in time for snow.
Only one DVD present. Sigh. Can’t seem to find any kind of media replacement program at MSFT either. :-(

not that the present economic picture is rosy, but i do think that popular culture — and specifically nostalgia bait television — is a big part of the reason that our public memory of the 1970s, 1980s and even 1990s seems to miss the real economic pain that marked each of those decades.

It doesn’t have to be you that gets in an accident. Apparently people can just rearrange your car while it’s sitting there and suddenly you have a fire people can’t put out easily.

I’ve got a sinking feeling, and it’s because every single one of my Normie friends thinks that once Trump is out that Democrats will just “undo everything” that Trump has done, like putting his name on the side of John Kennedy’s memorial.
They can’t even bother to keep from voting for his nominees.

My senior year advanced placement English teacher drove a black 1990 Nissan 300 ZX Twin Turbo.
This created a very thin line to walk as a 17 to 18-year-old. She was conventionally attractive, and I was a big-time car nerd, AND she trusted me to move her car for her on game nights.

My somewhat jaundice take after over a decade of being closely tied to Meta and the people that work there is that someone just came up with an idea to get revenue from “pretty great” to, “lol can you believe the rubes” levels?

He says "several hundred thousand" docs will be released today, "and then over the next couple weeks, I expect several hundred thousand more."
