Found this is storage. Total Annihilation. I played this game obsessively back in 1997. We had several people on a LAN and played multiplayer battles. This was the very first game I learned to mod.

Remember Max Headroom? He has a fascinating history. Originally, British TV wanted to do something like MTV, but with a CGI host. But, CGI wasn't very good, and kind of expensive, so they faked it with an actor in makeup. But then they wanted to tell the backstory, so they...

I work in a hospital, and we have seen a big increase in heat related emergencies. This heat wave isn't F'n around, the high humidity makes it feel much hotter. Stay inside. Do that yard work next week. Nobody cares that your grass is too long.

If you follow the money, you can see who really benefits from the tariffs on cars. Here's a handy chart to illustrate the two main beneficiaries.

#discgolf New favorite disc. Innova Gorgon. star plastic. Super straight flier. Give it a baby hyzer angle, flips to flat, and just glides for days. Excellent hand feel. I like it.

Probably sounds obvious, but even when the joy-cons are fully charged they drain the battery from the console, if connected.
