I’d suggest a stand mixer, but even those have gone down hill, even brands like kitchenaid have gotten worse.
Maybe some old pyrex, if you can find some. The new stuff is bad, can’t recommend that.
IT LOOKED LIKE THIS https://archive.org/details/0x-0_20221225
So it seems like BOINC or… SETI at home? Or what it was?
Edit - I looked them up. They’re not going anymore it seems, ‘no longer distributing tasks’. Alas!
I am absolutely unsure, and think any information I have about it comes from like 20 years ago. Is it that old? I thought it was pretty old. I remember a news report about it, like on the TV proper. The screensaver was like…little bars of color coming towards the camera, continuously going forward until it filled up and restarted. The spike bars were meant to be like…the data from outerspace. If there was a tall bar, it could be anomalous!
I have an extremely shitty memory, so this is exactly all the information I have.
I remember this thing way way way back when, and it was mentioned in the news? It had some kind of really neat visualization thing screensaver? Lines and lines of colors, with some spikes, going from further back towards the viewer and…
I couldn’t find that part again. I loved that, need the useless neat part
I hadn’t thought about it being a coping mechanism for the child, the ‘fairy’ ‘rescuing’ the rabbit when it was just everything got burned anyways. I like the interpretation! Now I’m sad!
Huh, I was told a story of my father in law having the same thing happen to him, but luckily for them it only burned the electronics that were plugged into the antenna, and one tv that was too close to a radio that also got screwed up. Never got to meet the man though, unfortunately.
I sent an email thanking them for making Sid Meier’s Pirates! and they sent an email back thanking me for my interest and that no new game was planned. Which…wasn’t my email, but still very sad!
My old machines slowly creep across the room to the “I might do something with you later” and then slowly into The Closet where things go to live forever.
There are parts of a commodore 64 in there.
God I love Wildermyth, it’s a fun game. I’m saving to get the roguelite expansion. Or is it roguelike? I get them mixed up.
I wasn’t looking directly at him and had fogged eyeglasses (major drawback of masks, how dare they and glasses do that) so it was overall weird!
I like wearing a mask, I don’t get told to smile anymore
Wait no
One guy did tell me to smile more when I had a mask on. I stared at him. Baffled. He seemed to realize he was being stupid and just fucking booked it.
I can only smell them if there’s a number of them, but ‘cleaning solution’ like one said works for the scent. I also have the ‘cilantro tastes like soap’ gene, so maybe they’re connected.
I like the headdress on the one in the far back!
Loved reading that subreddit when it first appeared, it was interesting to see it sometimes just hit the mark with whatever nonsense it came up with.
I like physically building computers!
It’s everything after trying to make them do work that’s annoying.
I suppose the anti cat gate. Got it because new kitten wasn’t getting along with adult cat. Kitten continued to not get along despite doing everything and asking the vet for more advice.
Kitten is with my mother and her cats and he gets along with both of them.
The anti cat gate stands there, expensively.
I love the (painting? photo?) in the background, at a birthday party!
The best game for it! Widescreen honking at its finest! Really feel you are in that village, being chased by a horrible goose!
Honk honk honk honk!
The cat is more upset by the intrusion than the lady is!
