    Having been in a metal band and known guys that toured, I can assure you that This is Spinal Tap is a real life depiction of being in a metal band.

    DDR 4 shot up too. It was bad enough that instead of trying to put together a system with the AM4 m/b I already have, I just bought a Legion Go S.

    There's a flight path directly over my house. I'm going to see if my wife would be on board for this.

    Termination of Transfer is what happened to the Friday the 13th franchise. The screenwriter wound up owning the name Jason Voorhees, but not the adult visual of Jason. As I underst…

    Just found out my unit was robbed. The thieves ignored the lock and just destroyed the unit's latch which the padlock secured. There went Uncanny X-Men 94 through 300.

    That's interesting. Off the cuff, I'll say it would depend on venue. Like on Reddit, you can easily have dozens of people saying exactly the same thing and other views can easily d…

    Fair enough on that. The problem I've seen (and don't have a good idea for how to fix) is on Reddit where the most terminally online are the worst offenders and they simply drown o…

    As I understand it, Twitter has something called Community Notes. So people can write things, but it can potentially have an attached refutation.

    I've been banned for over a decade from leaving reviews on Amazon. I have no idea why.

    I think you are the only good moderator on the internet.

    I forgot about the HP one! I distinctly remember there was a Sun too; it was like a backyard shoot.

    My mind first jump to an old video of somebody shooting a Sun Microsystems machine and the bullets did not in fact penetrate the steel.

    I started seeing this more than a week ago on r/ASRock. There was a BIOS update and loads and loads of people reported that their CPUs fried.

    Dogs of War was good enough for it to be the basis for multiple attempted mercenary led coups. Hoare's in the Seychelles failed because his forces went in by plane instead of boat …

    I remember there being a collection of the first 3 called the Complete Hitchhiker's Guide. In typical Adam's fashion, after the 4th book was released a new compendium was released …

    That's my thinking too. In fact, I was in a mood to watch OG film noirs, but between 3 streaming services, the only movie available was Sunset Blvd. Also failed to find any of the …

    Note: there's a crash bug. If you try to look at the local sun, the game will try to explode it, but suns can't explode so the game crashes.

    More than you'd think! I recall reading about touring gladiators. Rome might have been the big city, but audiences get tired of seeing the same gladiators all the time, so they'd g…

    When I was looking for a not-Solaris OS, OpenBSD was the only game in town for it. Literally. Somebody maintaining the UltraSPARC OpenBSD port decided to support this oddity specif…
