I’m just lucky the guy in front of me didn’t have his truck configured to roll coal, giving me a smokescreen in addition to blinding high beam.

You’d have said goodbye to your head as well, because that lifted truck isn’t going into the rear of the small car… it’s going up and over.

it’s all fun and games until they pull out the real gun.

I called the incident into the police station but it was before I had the dashcam so they just shrugged (and were probably blood related anyway).

I’ve… seen this? Well, not an AI model, but I know I’ve seen something where it takes common words and gives you the best guess on commands, and even common typos.

Yup… drove a small car back from college and two truck bros decided it’d be fun to sandwich my car between them. One rode my rear bumper with high beams, the other slowed down and rode the middle line so I couldn’t pass. Then he’d start slamming his brakes.

that’s good for testing if a device will work or not, but it’s terrible for judging how the OS performs. Mostly because your DVD/USB is going to be a serious bottleneck for I/O. Combine that with the 4GB of RAM and you’ve got some potentially crunchy performance ahead of you, which would not be indicative of the install performance.

If I were handed that hardware, the first thing I’d try is…

If what is currently being used is usable, and I don’t want to risk making it unusuable, shrink/resize the active partition with a partitioning tool. Then, assume I’m multibooting and I’d install on the secondary partition:

Raspberry Pi Desktop. I’d choose Pi OS because it is designed for an ultra low power 700MHz ARM11 that comes with the 2012 Pi 1. The drawback is it’s an older Debian install (Bullseye), but still getting long-term support until August. I assume they will release a new Desktop version when that date comes.

RetroPie. I’d grab the RetroPie script for ease of use on installing SNES emulation. It should prompt every emulator choice available for your system, and set up controller support (or keyboard+mouse) and emulationstation so you can browse your legally dumped roms after putting them in the correct directory.

Yeah, I feel like in general IE kinda gets a bad rep nowadays because of it’s very very slow corporate demise but it really was an innovator at it’s start. Heck, IE4 allows you to integrate it in Win95 & NT4 and patch explorer.exe, enabling forward/back buttons, multimedia, and all kinds of web features when browsing folders. It’s a UI standard that’s still present in Win 11, 29 years later.

EDIT: Oops… Okay, yeah, I deserve the downvotes there. Perhaps I was a little too enthused about what brought years of stagnation and backbreaking workarounds to the web. But it’s hard to understate how game-changing the address bar was to explorer.exe. It was like a whole new OS.

oh! oh! Edge pre-Chromium

uhhh… not exactly the best example, since Internet Explorer reached over 90% market share by replacing Netscape Navigator and was the dominant browser for over a decade. Everybody used it. It took Chrome years to get a foothold.

Vizio is likely offering unusually large paperweights without Walmart accounts.

now require a Walmart account for setup and accessing smart TV features

If you are using a network level block, make sure it’s a black hole and not just a DNS filter. I tried a DNS filter with a Roku and found that they bypass it with hardcoded values, even when the DNS server was statically assigned and DHCP assigned.

please tell me there is no penalty to those women taking this option. It would be so easy for Uber to pull a “only $5 more” to get a ride or “5% less” to avoid a rider.

uploading one at a time, uploading in smaller batches

Yup, that’s where I’d start. Creating a tar and splitting it into parts. Just as an example. Not sure if that guide is good or not. It was just the first thing that popped up in the search engine.

it’s true!

But the game has established multiple times that a set only gives a bonus on full equip!

I think you only need one piece of the flamebreaker set to be fireproof in Goron City.

whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat.

The only reason I didn’t brute force the whole way was I ran out of food.

Nope, I talked to every NPC at all the towns, and on the roads. But, I didn’t stop at any of the horse stables since I never had need of a horse. It’s all cliffs and teleportation!

Edit: The fireproof armor NPC was only one part of the armor needed to make yourself fireproof, and of course he was at the base camp I had to teleport away from since I was on fire.

no reflection at all on how 0 to 11 that reaction is? Huh… Well, another to add to the block list I guess.
