I have Batocera (Linux-based emulator platform) on a 2011 Mac Mini.

The only caveat is its weak integrated graphics chip that struggles to emulate fifth generation (PSX, N64, etc) and newer consoles, but since I pretty much only play 16 bit and older it’s been a solid machine.

I remember when Apple first switched to using Intel processors, people talked about being able to install Linux and other operating systems easily. I guess Apple didn’t like that.

I went to Lowes two weeks ago to buy a wall switch and I browsed the Halloween section near where you first walk in. Most of it was already clearanced to half price or more in order to make room for Xmas stuff.

Shit’s expensive too, even with the clearance prices. I always wanted to deck out my house for Halloween, but I’d be spending a paycheck or two to keep up with my neighbors, and I’m terrible when it comes to crafting and DIY.

Trump: I will use the military to crush the left. Immigrants are criminals.

MSM: 🤷‍♂️

Biden: MAGA supporters are garbage.

MSM: 😱

26 (80°F for the Americabrained) today here in Ohio. The trees outside my window always took up brilliant yellows and reds these past few years, but this year they too went straight from green to brown and/or gone.

We’ve been in a D1 “moderate” drought since August, so between that and the abnormally hot temps (it should be around 7 to 10 degrees by now), the trees are just flat out dying this year.

Usually around this time of year we would have had our first snow, but we haven’t even had our first frost yet. It’s been like this for over a decade now.

I know climate change has much, much worse consequences, but the fact that people are ignoring these very obvious signs happening right in their own cities worries me a bit.

Ohio repealed Sodomy laws and decriminalized same-sex relations 30 years before a very large part of the rest of the country did. It’s sad how the chuds took over since then.

Regulations like “workers must work in marginally safe conditions and be paid a minimal amount of money” make it impossible to be innovative.

I wish I was joking. I’ve argued with business owners who unironically believe OSHA and minimum wage are the biggest reasons they aren’t billionaires.

Ants are fuckin cool. I wish the egg layers weren’t referred to as “queens” because it gives the wrong implication that ant nests are a monarchy and that the queen somehow rules them.

In reality no decision-making comes from the queens since ants will continue to dig nests, find food, and care for each other even without a queen. The nest just doesn’t have eggs to replace them.

Ants are really closer to being socialist collectives than anything. Food is divided evenly (although queens do get fed more, but only for the biomass needed to produce eggs) even the tiniest bit that is found is shared among as many as possible.

And he dies in a painful, humiliating way (eaten to death by little dinosaurs).

Dieter’s death in the second film (CW: cinematic blood) almost mirrors how Hammond died in the novel.

The only ASMR I can stand is the sound of food cooking/sizzling, only because it triggers an appetite for me.

Shit like whispering, fingernails clacking on hard surfaces, or plastic bags being crinkled… no thanks.

My city has a rail station right in front of the stadium and barely anyone uses it, not even during big games/events.

Oh shit I completely misread your comment lmao. I thought you meant in general and not directed at Taylor.

When I was 13 I shat on Backstreet Boys and Nsync after I discovered The Eagles.

I grew beyond The Eagles though and now I lump them in with boy bands.

But he did bring up the pet thing on a nationally televised debate though. “They’re eating the dogs, they’re eating the cats!”

“Yay, my swollen belly isn’t ascites from liver failure!”

Not only would it take a long time, I imagine the results would be extremely random to the point it would be unreliable as an execution method. Carcinogens, and the way each person’s body reacts to them, are highly unpredictable. That’s why health disclaimers on carcinogenic products say “may cause cancer” and not “will cause cancer.”

It would be far easier to just shoot or stab the target and make it look like a robbery gone bad or something.

Reminds me of that scene from Austin Powers where they parody those intricate death traps in James Bond films…

Dr. Evil: I’m going to kill Mr. Powers by putting him in an overly elaborate and easily escapable contraption and assume it all went according to plan.

Scott: Why don’t you just get a gun and shoot him? He’s right there!
