I'm into gaming in all it's aspects. That's a really nice collection, super envious about the Vectrex. And as I'm never one to back down from a challenge, here's mine: Consoles/Home computers Carinco (Pong-clone) Atari 2600 Texas Instruments TI-99 Atari 2600jr VIC-20 C16 Atari XE65 Mattel Aquarius …

Such a cool place, I'd like to visit there soon. Last time me and my friend were in Ukraine we didn't have time to do it, but one day for sure. On the other hand, I'd recommend Ukraine to anyone interested in cheap food, booze and Soviet era architecture. The whole country is just an insane …

Sanders would've been the smart choice if only all that knowledge and talent was inside a dynamic 40 year old instead of a pensioner. This year all the top candidates were around 70 or older which is kinda strange. Although, Reagan was considered too old and I believe still is the oldest president, …

I done that before, it never ends wells. I haven't had problems as long as you only have one router with outside connection that gives all the IP's and the others are "silent" and just replicate the network signal. I have 3 running at my work place and they don't have any resource conflicts. Signal …

I've just "daisy chained" several WIFI routers around the place to get maximum cover. It would be the cheapest option as then you can connect the computers, phones etc. however you want.

Btw, what really helped me, was to simply talk to women the same way I talk to men (not to think of them as being demi-gods, so to say. They are just people like you and I), it made socializing with women I actually find interesting in a romantic way a lot easier. I tried this, but it didn't really …

HP/L is a popular metric which favors small and complex engines, but I think it's not of actual importance by itself and distracts from more direct concerns. Among those I would include real world performance (not just peak hp) and responsiveness, cost, durability, serviceability, and typical …

I think the main problem of the 80's cars in the US was the lackluster performance. I mean they had the nerve to offer a Vette with a 200hp engine and a TB with inline-four generating, brace yourself, 90hp! Really?! The problem persisted up untill the mid 90's when they started to introduce more hp …

Well, if you want to play old games you should play them like they were meant to. No emulators, TFT's or other modern nonsense. I wouldn't even swap a modern USB radio to a 60's car. Period correct is the way to go, even going as far as to use (original) floppy disks to install all the games. 😊

Yes, the build quality is a bit of problem. Still, I would love to get a Buick or Chevy from this era with a column shifter. This has been for sale locally for a long time for around 3k, and although it has a floor shifter I really really want one. buick1.JPG buick2.JPG T-type Riviera with the …

O Weekend driver: 1990 Chevy Lumina with 40,000 miles. Just drove it to North Carolina and back. Has a 3.1l V6 that makes a whopping 135HP. No airbags, no ABS, no problem! That's a nice car! It still has the old Chevy 3.1 that lacks the intake manifold problems of it's successor. Most 95-> Luminas …

But you're still doing work at school. My point is that if your plan backfires on you, you're still going to run into this person frequently. I don't see a problem in this. I've banged a girl from work and we see every day, it's fine. I've also hit on other girls from work who didn't warm up, it's …

Well, it's like cleaning your house. Mold comes with neglect. There are foils inside the door panels that need to be replaced. If you are really cheap and poor you could even use trashbags. But it has to be done. Yes, he used to hunt a lot so there was also fistful of dirt in both door pockets. I …

"Rescue" them on the last day? :blush: That's what I did when I worked as IT-support in our local high school. I put a Digital Venturis Pentium in my backpack (slim pizza box case) when I heard they would all be trashed and staff couldn't take anything! I also took some CD's and floppy disks. I …

Both the Ecoboost and the 5L V8 are great engines. I wouldn't use the Ecoboost for towing at all, but it's got plenty of power and good efficiency otherwise. Yes, most 2010-> engines are really starting to look good. The Caddy has a very nice 3.6 and it's amazing how potent these new V6's are …

You are analysing too much. The longer you wait the harder it will get for you to actually make a move. So don't wait and don't worry what will happen. Make small chat and than invite her for a drink. Whatever happens it's a success. Outcome might be good or not - at least you know where you stand …
