I feel like we were getting scammed in the US then. I, in the US, was paying over $20 for Atari 2600 games and over $50 for some fairly early NES games. I know Mastertronic was mostly for cheap Sega games

That was the first thing that I thought of as well.

Not the point of your story, but when the hell were LPs and video games that cheap? I would think that any time that LPs were that cheap would be before video games even existed.

I wonder why this has “[HD]” in the name. I sounds like the version of the song from Money, which is the best one IMO.

I don’t know he context of this image, but I love it.

The rpi should have the hdmi port at least, so I suppose you could make a cutout for it.

Edit: ah, never mind, they are using the HDMI port internally to power the tiny screen.

You can still travel, you just won’t get far and might die. Courage!

I just kept them on separate drives, but you make a good point that one shouldn’t underestimate Microslop’s ability to fuck with your shit.

This situation was the reason for me killing off my dual boot system and making it Linux only. I had kept Windows around for a few specific tools and games, but it was a roll of the dice if I could even use it when I needed because of the update situation.

Great pic and great beer.

100%, but man these are making me nostalgic.

I’ve never used such a feature, but I know that my favorite player, Quod Libet, has an included plugin called “Synchronized Lyrics” that uses .lrc files and you can set the color and font size of the lyrics. It also has a plugin called “Karaoke” that is supposed to remove main vocals from audio. I’m honestly not sure how that last one works, sounds like sorcery.

Yeah, those wasps are assholes, just not quite as much of assholes as yellow jackets. Weirdly enough, I’ve been stung by everything on this list that is capable of doing so including bumble bees. Bees hate me and I hate them, but I still refrain from killing them because we need them around.

It’s almost like the meme died and came back to torment the living.

That’s why the Slate is the only EV I am even remotely interested in at this point. I hope it actually comes out and doesn’t suck.

Interesting, thanks for sharing! This sort of milk isn’t common in the US.

As I said, they sounded decent, very decent for the price, I just found them uncomfortable. Headphones don’t need to be expensive to be good.

There was a string of IEMs, almost all of them Chinese brands like KZT, that were all lauded as “sounds better than $500 IEMs, only cost $10!!!” that were way over hyped for a while. And I bought many/most of them because they were so cheap and then usually gave them away because they were not the magic thing the hype insisted.

In my case, It was the shape of the enclosure that caused me discomfort, not the tips. I have tried pretty much all of the meme IEMs, most of them didn’t work well for me, but I can still say that they sounded quite good for the price. Comfort is king when it comes any sort of headphone for me though. I usually prefer larger over ear headphones except when I am traveling. Right not my Etymotics are my go to IEMs.

I have that book on my bookshelf. It didn’t make me cry nearly as much as some C++ books.
