I like the Beatles, and there's the obvious clique joke of "John beats his wives, ya know?"

I like a grand total of one Megadeath song, "Hanger 18". That bad is very troublesome. I feel bad for enjoying it, but I don't pay for it, so I guess that's better? But it's nostalgic for me, and I like the words "Military intelligence, two words combined that can't make sense."

I'd have to go through each bands' wikipedia page, but I think some of the worst things are;

  • Disagreed on who wrote what, leading to members leaving or the band breaking up

  • Disagreed on who owns the name, leading to court battles and the band splitting in two

  • Important members leaving, and while the band is still fun to listen to both new and old songs, its not the same

And of course the dreaded sin of "Why does no one know who I am talking about, they need more fans." but that's not really a thing of their own.

It's a neat idea, and the name is so good. I even saw on an .onion site that had it told in plain text, and the visuals were ASCII recreations.

There is a (conspiracy) theory that the writer was actually working for a government since a lot of the instructions don't work, or would potentially kill the person making it. Thus anyone who tried to follow it would not get results or die from making a project at home.

Seeing as it was published in 1971, and the FBI's COINTELPRO ended that year, it's not impossible. They hated anarchists and anyone too "un-american".

That said, zero proof. Hence the conspiracy in conspiracy theory.

I hope you're right but seeing as every major part of Microsoft that used to be a one time purchase is now subscription based, I dont hold my breath on it.

Mark my words.

Not in control, just curious if I could give assistance to my local library.

Flatscreens: Set it gently on the table, or you might break the screen.

CRTs: Set it gently on the table, or you might break the table.

4K HDR 120 Hertz, that we can easily put up surround sound is great. But fuck, you sneeze wrong and it gets a weird scanline issue, like mine.

Huh, they seemingly have money to not fuck our eyes without lube for ads, but I guess they somehow just don't have enough money, 156 billion dollars is really nothing after all. Probably more money in between my couch cushions. Such a small indie company that has to struggle to remain afloat, like an Etsy store.

I'm sure they can take a page from every online service before we entered the 2020s, where you could pay to enter without ads, like Netflix was. But no, the ad company has to inject ads into everything.

Maybe stop being a bootlicker for a company that used to be "Don't be evil."

It's simply the customer getting paid for the labor of being a cashier. If someone does labor for a company, the company pays them.
