I've been using public restrooms for a long time and I don't recall ever seeing anyone's naughty bits.

I see you've never had the misfortune of using the circular trough-style urinal where everyone is facing each other and peeing into the middle. Thankfully, they are not very common.

I still use my N900, basically just for ssh over wifi these days. It is so so so much better than typing on a virtual keyboard, especially in a terminal where I have keyboard shortcuts set up for home/end/pgup/pgdn/tab/etc. The original Nokia battery from 2009 is still live and kicking! The keyboard and slide form factor were great. Even the resistive touch screen, when used with the stylus, is very accurate.

For me, these increasingly huge jackpot amounts just emphasize how unlikely you are to win.

The "Games" series was made by Epyx. First was Summer Games, followed by Summer Games 2, Winter Games, World Games, California Games, and California Games 2. They also released The Games: Summer Edition and The Games: Winter Excision. All of these games follow the same basic format.

California Games did have some more versions, Apple II, Apple IIGS, DOS, MSX, Atari ST etc.

Seconded this approach, I've got a Gentoo installation that has been going since 2005 across half a dozen different machines.

SanDisk Extreme Pro is one of the best, in my opinion, they excel in IOPS for small random read and write which is especially important when using it in a computer like Steam Deck or Raspberry Pi. A lot of other SD cards are optimized for cameras where it is writing a lot of sequential data, but are slower in small reads and writes.

My most-used, by far, for decades.

This is amazing, I will have to dig out my old Nexus 5 and give it a try someday. Nexus 5 was my favorite form factor of any touchscreen phone I've owned.

ATS and ETS2 are like my therapy. I don't even play the actual game part with operating a business etc, I just like driving and seeing the scenery. Put on some instrumental drum n bass background music and turn my brain off for an hour.

Some of the mods are great, too. Driving through the desert and past the pyramids in Egypt is something else.
