She’s so hot right now

It was the first one, Alien, for me. I was maybe four. Nightmares didn’t stop until my late twenties, but it’s my favorite movie now. No movies scared me after that!

I used to hit the TX state police auctions pretty often. I really liked the 9C1 Caprice basically the car the 1994-1996 Impala was based on. A little bit Cadillac, a little bit Camaro. Iron block and heads version of the LT1 improved reliability/durability. Could take speed bumps at 70 mph without flinching and was a phenomenal highway car especially for TX. Highway Patrol (DPS) cars are issued to specific troopers and not whored out to the whole department on a 24 hour rotation, so they are generally much better looked after.

Anyway I happened to hit one auction that was unique. Before, they put a really crappy paint job on to cover up the black and white paint scheme. After, they cheaped out and just spray painted white squigglies all over the car. I picked up a nice 1995 still black and white 9C1 for $2600.

Rocketing between Houston and Austin at over 100 mph, cars would move over to let me pass. Cops on the other side heading the other way would wave instead of pulling me over. On the rare occasion I did get pulled over, the registration showed previous owner as DPS since I bought directly from them myself. So I always got off with a warning.

Man I miss that car. They quit making them so they could make more SUVs…

Also the DPS Mustangs were stick shift so of course I grabbed one of those too!

Don’t make me completely turn this car around!

Make like a tree and split

This is 100% to try to force more OneDrive subs…

Makes me think of an Ikv 65.

Ultima III and/or Alternate Reality: The City, based on the C64 versions.

I wasn’t trying to disable it. I wanted to move it off my puny OS drive SSD to a huge spin drive. It fought me tooth and nail even though it has a move button. I tried many ways including regedit until I finally gave up and turned it off.

The worst part was when I was trying to manually copy the files and it kept telling me I needed do purchase more cloud storage – to do a local file copy!

I concluded this obstinance was by design to sell more product. Especially after using Steam to shuffle some of my games around later that same day. Their software is wonderful now!

Unless they’ve anticipated this and blocked it like they do with OneDrive. Which they do to frustrate you into buying more storage you don’t need to fix the problems they’ve created intentionally…

“I want my two dollars!”

Next up: Jesus really was made of plastic.

Maybe it’s because the MINI Countryman SUV is a UK brand manufactured by a German car company…

Crash test dummies

Motor City Online all over again

In NT4, you could delete ntldr. Next time you reboot, you have a dead system that was a relative PITA to recover. Generally just wipe and reload.

So many users trying to gain more disk space on those 210 MB hard drives…
