Yeap I did that one. Last night it was the full history of Pan Am.

Gateway 2000 Computer - Brand New - Free to a good home! ( lemmy.world )

So I'm cleaning out a house and found a brand new Gateway2k Pentium 4 computer. Someone opened the boxes but never took the computer out, its all still in the plastic and I don't want to ruin the unboxing for someone that is into this. The computer is free to a good home in the Boston metro area to make your retro gaming dreams...

Yeah I was just in Utah for business and didn't even realise there was a block. I didn't go to pornhub but all my regular sites just worked. 🤷‍♂️🍆

What's that in imperial shitloads?

What's missing in the shield? I have a gen 1 and it still plays anything I throw at it. High bitrate HDR 4k video etc.

My wife's been hogging the PC for months now playing Baldur's gate. She finished 1 last month and now working her way through 2.

20% torrent and 80% stremio with real debrid.

Stremio and RD is just so easy. Torrent for anything I really want to keep forever in very high quality.

I think the bridge is on borrowed time.

About time. Russia hiding behind an invisible shield is not fair especially when the front is near the border.

It's still insane to me that you can just lose 20+ tanks a day, every day.

You could be Tony Stark or some super villain in that house for sure.

Bloody hell mate. A little bit of warning before so casually dropping Java Spring out there.

These headlines are never clear. Is it the largest one in Kaluga, but there are larger ones in other areas? Or this is the largest, which also happens to be in Kaluga?

German chancellor backs EU plan to use frozen Russian assets to fund Ukraine arms ( www.reuters.com )

Around 90% of the revenues generated from Russian frozen assets should be spent on arms purchases for Ukraine, Chancellor Olaf Scholz said on Monday, supporting an earlier EU proposal to use Russian assets' interest payments to boost Ukraine defence....

I agree with you. The $200bn is more than 3 times the amount of the recent USA funding of $60bn. It would go a long long way to ensure Ukraine is not dependent on the mood swings of the Republicans and who knows what's going to happen after the election?

Think of all the ink they're saving! The ink is how they usually get you.

This Hi-Tech Bird Feeder Lets Clever Magpies Exchange Bottle Caps for Food ( mymodernmet.com )

This is clever. But in a way, it's also shifting the environmental impact from these bottle caps. I can't imagine under which conditions the birds' may be a problem (e.g. getting too much food). Maybe someone with better knowledge on these species can tell if there could be a downside (no matter how improbable, just the risk of...

Can't find it now but I recall a documentary where they did exactly the same thing but trained the birds to bring real money coins.

Somehow they got coins from somewhere to pay for food.

That's it. It was a ted talk. Thanks!

I recall my dad bought a book with VIC 20 games printed. And you bet I typed them all in. And then had to debug them.

It wasn't this one but it was very similar: https://archive.org/details/games-for-your-vic-20/page/28/mode/1up

And this book came with the computer and taught me how to code: https://archive.org/details/VIC-20_An_Introduction_to_BASIC_Part_1/mode/1up

Such fun memories. And now I'm CEO of a software company haha.
