I remember that box. Pretty sure it still exists at my parents' house. Our connection wasn't the greatest and I remember flipping the dongle switch a few times to get the Atari to work on the tv.

Addendum: I just remembered that this Atari box was hooked up to another box that had the dongle switch on it that I had to flip and that in turn was also hooked up to the VCR, which was hooked up to the TV, which we had to switch to channel 3 to use.

Now if we could go after big AG and whatever they use to spray the fields for pest control as well...

Fuck this state.

Edit: I didn't read the article before I commented. It talks about this. I hope he wins and we take them down.

All it does to me is make me sleepy, but if I take it at night I don't sleep. I don't think it's working...

As someone with the skin complexion of a jar of mayonnaise, burns after ten minutes on a cloudy day, and got sun burned to the point of sun poisoning and second degree burns once in my youth - yeah, I'm going to chase that bigger number. Skin cancer also runs in my family. Once had a dermatologist tell me that I shouldn't go out of the house without a minimum of spf 50 on all exposed skin, period. Doesn't matter the time of year. I don't tan. I freckle and more freckles mean more checking for the ABCs of skin cancer. Just had an age spot (according to the dermatologist) removed not too long ago because the freckle became raised, rough, and irregularly shaped.

Same. I'm eyeing that translucent one because they sure did hit that nostalgia button for me on a translucent cell phone from the early 00s.

It's even worse for me when I'm able to track the driver on the map...

Came to also say cedar. It smells like home to me.

I'm DM you because I don't want to be accused of advertising.

Oldest child was contacted via text by a recruiter. We told them to waste their time. Say "yes, I'll talk to you about it if you treat ME to a meal at [local restaurant]." (emphasis mine)

The recruiter ghosted them after that.

I'll DM you the link. I don't want to seem like I'm advertising for them.

It was custom made by a guy in Guatemala who runs his own online shop. It's the only one I know of in existence.

 

Found this through a small company. $50 beats $200
