I fucking loved the OG Mortal Kombat console. I could play Sub-Zero thru Shang Tsung on one quarter. Of course, it took so many quarters to get that good. I would buy one of those consoles for home in a heartbeat.

We've been watching E.R. 15 seasons. 22 episodes each. We've been watching for months and are only in season 7.

Come on. Phineas and Ferb is money. I've seen more episodes without the kids than with.

I game while my 3d printer chugs away next to me. I've got to make sure the print doesn't fail. If the print is going to take 12 hours, I guess I play for 12 hours. I'm very dedicated to my 3d printing hobby.

Source Safe just attempted to be a useless source control system. RTC tried to add issue tracking, automation, and other crap. It wanted to be truly terrible at everything.

But Source Safe was fantastically bad. I especially liked that its database file was limited to like 2GB. It was so bad that Microslop didn't use it.

You're the other person that used RTC?! I had heard there was another but I was starting to think it was just a legend.

I migrated an entire codebase from a combo of RCS, CVS, and Subversion. This was about 10 minutes before git started to hit in a big way.

I'd call it a dumpster fire but that really disrespects dumpster fires.

Unless I'm missing something, there's no mention of cities.

The closest grocery store for me is a 20 minute drive. Of course I drive. There aren't too many buses running around the woods of northern New England.

I'm not saying that the numbers are not still pretty bad. Boston has way too many cars. New York did an awesome thing with congestion pricing. But sometimes public transport doesn't make sense for the area.

I would like to see a graph that just shows major metropolitan areas. I'm sure the US still sucks but you can't include households that are many miles from any store at all and use that to skew the numbers.

Also, why exclude Mexico and then call it North america. Why not call it Canada and the US? Why not label Canada and the US separately? These numbers are pushing an agenda. I'm not saying the agenda is wrong but this graph seems a bit dishonest.

I've seen a lot of shit in my several decades on this series of tubes. Somehow I missed every one of these. I am very ok with that.
