I own a couple actual vintage arcade machines and paid less for them than this. If you shop around you can find deals.

I also have one of these 1up cabs and it is definitely not like vintage. Software may be the same but it is using a modern monitor not a CRT. I think I paid around 300 for it several years ago. Not full size.

Thank you, Nima!

Farmers?

Very interesting idea. If I could afford it, I’d buy one!

Would you consider a hybrid design too?

I would finally build the dome home I dreamed of in college. Myself, no contractors.

Planning might push this in other directions like an earth berm home or similar. I might also consider some hybrid designs. Alternative housing is really interesting and uncommon.

I LOVED TA back in the day. I recently bought it again off Steam.

Honestly, anyone selling ground meat is kinda sus to me. There are reasons steak burgers are uncommon and it is not because they taste worse.

Why grind meat?

Atari 2600 gamez! Very cool. I still have my 2600 and the TV I used when I was a kid. Both still work.

Also, so glad someone put arcade games on their list.

Ultima IV !!! Now that’s a name I’ve not heard in a long time.

I played that on my Commodore 64 and waited a loooong time for the (actually floppy) disk drive to spin up.

I bet most people here don’t know any of the Ultima games.

I’m torn between feeling bad for monkeys and being glad the little bastards are dead. Monkeys can be a major pain in the ass.

Sounds like dehydration is at least part of the problem. I assume they can solve that with howler monkey water stations. Maybe those should just be jungle wildlife water stations.

Yes

It might not be the door opener. The door/springs/track may just need adjustment.

I would call your local hardware store and ask for a recommendation for a “garage door guy”. Then follow his advice.

Be VERY careful with garage door springs! They can kill you. Torsion springs especially.

Cool, thanks. $5 -$6 / month is cheap.

I’ll bite. What is frugal Usenet?

I’ve always been pretty bad at Tetris. This video was very engaging and entertaining. It tells a great story.

Pretty good. I’m sure it works.

I use in wall wiring for stuff. It could make a great handle here too.

Boycott!

Much worse than we thought. How shocking. /s

This whole thing is confusing to me.

For me, gen X, growing up it was this:
Sweatshirt: Non-hooded OR hooded and shirt shaped with NO zipper but made of material that is “fleece”-like on one side and smooth-ish on the other.

Jacket: zippered thing, long sleeves, usually made of plastic or nylon but the purpose was to wear OVER your clothes as a windbreaker and/or to keep you warm.

Hoodies did not exist. Things like a sweatshirt, jacket, coat or shirt might have a hood.

Now, I do not know what the fuck to call shit.

That is a fucking jirt. Shirtet. Sweatjack. Hoodet. Sweatie. Jackie.
