We had the coin op at the local movie theater. Didn’t play much as a quarter was real money and I lost so quickly.
Anyone remember the vector graphics Star Wars game? Man, if I could have any vintage game in my house…
Yeah, 9-months is getting out there.
Alexander Haig:
Israel is the largest American aircraft carrier in the world that cannot be sunk, does not carry even one American soldier, and is located in a critical region for American national security.
^ Uses 80s iconography to make fun of GenX’s parents.
Keep in mind the challenges of fighting in the Arctic, for both men and machines. Even a top-tier military is going to struggle and Russia thinks they have a handle on it?!
I’m pretty damned sore (heh) about the tightening of opiates. It’s gone so far as to be ludicrous.
Sliced a good chunk off my thumb couple of years back. It was late so my wife bandaged me up best she could, the bottom layer being gauze. By the time I got to the ER the next day, that gauge was embedded in the wound. Jesus, it was hell just getting the edges a little loose and you could see where the wound was perfectly flat. That bad.
We soaked it in H2O2, didn’t do much. I was all but begging for a shot of lidocaine and they treated me like I was “seeking”, refused and refused. Finally got a little, not nearly enough. Ended up bent over the table while the doctor ripped it off. Jesus Christ, blood came pouring. And FFS, this was wound was in a major nerve concentration! Again, this wasn’t a scratch, doctor even said I’d be deformed for life. (Modern wound care grew almost all of it back with very little pain!)
And don’t start me on Xanax. Because of the addicts I can no longer have the one drug that ever worked for my depression.
It was walkie-talkies today.
These kinds of stories are exactly where Fallout themes came from.
And Obama bagged on Romney for it.
“The 1980s are now calling to ask for their foreign policy back.”
Saw a guy here on c/ukraine shoot down a cruise missile with a .50-cal mounted on a truck. 🤷
Been catching a LOT of those watching shorts, been digging it.
I doubt the poor person in question was running a high-tech X-ray diamond finder.
I wonder what percentage of people at least skim the story before forming an opinion.
It was located using X-ray technology designed to find large, high-value diamonds.
Sounds like they’re using tech at this mine.
Swear to fucking god lemmy, this is clearly a cheating/cousin fucking joke. Y’all thick.
Can’t believe I’ve never seen that one!
I’m still bitter about the lumber place down the street closing. 9-5 and only till noon on Saturday. You got get so many discounted items! Doors, windows, screws, random tools, all kinds of building materials.
Rarely got to go there, had to spend my $ at Home Depot.
That’s not capitalism, that’s human nature. If I don’t quickly take it, someone else will. The Tragedy of the Commons happens no matter the economic system.
