Anyone who has grown tomatoes before really appreciates the wasps. The hornworm caterpillar can devastate your tomatoes crop. It's probably a terrible way to go for the caterpillar, but they are real pests.

I never has an original psp, but I had a psp-go. It was great! I primarily used it to emulate the nes and Genesis. Not many people liked the other slide out screen aesthetic but it was one of my favorite parts of the design. It reminded me of the Motorola sidekick.

The grandest reason of them all: why not see what is possible without the emulator?

A lot of these rom ports to native code are about more then just playing the game. Most include all sorts of mods like running the game at native resolution at 16x9 aspect ratio, higher refresh rates, better sound, engines to make your own levels, coop play, and more.

Or more precisely: why not?

I always preferred NAD as an mp3 player. I loved the see through hole in the default skin.

Plus the dev would get stoned out of his gourd on mushrooms and it helped him create a very efficient mp3 decoder. It always has a lower CPU usage than anything else out there, and imo sounded crisper.

Everyone saying you need two harddrives needs to know: all you need are 2 efi partitions: one for windows one for linux.. You can have them on the same drive. It's nonstandard, but I have never found a machine where it doesn't work.

My first car was a 1986 Renault alliance with a manual 5 speed, crank windows, and no radio. It was given to me by my father after he put 120k miles on it. I went on to put another 130k on it. I learned to drive stick on that car. 250 thousand miles and I never had to change the clutch. I don't know what it was made out of but it was indestructible. I had to change the clutch cable 6 times, but despite being the vehicle what I learned to drive stick on, it was indestructible. It also got 45+ miles per gallon it's whole life. When it finally died, it blew a piston out the side of the motor. It was ugly and uncomfortable but I loved that little car and I would absolutely buy another 1986 Renault alliance. I would also take the x8a prototype as my daily driver but I doubt the clutch is quite as bulletproof.

I relate so much except mine shattered and I required a ureteroscopy to go pull out the 3 fragments, after 48 hours of intense pain.

You can look up ureteroscopy as a procedure if you like, but I can assure you it is just as much fun to have done as it is to spell

Green tea can be high in oxalates and most likely was responsible for my first kidney stone.

But when think the comic is pointing out hypocrisy as opposed to the heath benefits of one product vs another

I did this today with the crazy snow we got in New england.. my neighbor is dumb and left his cars on the street. We got 22+ inches of snow. He has a shovel, I have a snow blower. While he was shoveling I just joined him and moved all his snow in 1/4 the time. I didn't say anything. He thanked me and I nodded.
