Perhaps they live in DC?

20 year Dota player here. I always play support and I’m ok with low wealth/ low xp. High impact tho!

Only thing I’m good at carrying is wards.

I was gonnna click the link, but then I got high.

Excellent, memorable scene.

But it is Red who suggests it should be filed under ‘education’!

Genuine question: how did you conduct your job search? What steps did you take during those two years? Do you have a degree?

They can encrypt data coming out of both ends?!

Completely anecdotal, and mostly unrelated, but my NES from 1990 is still going strong. Two PS3’s that I have owned simply broke.

CRTs from 1994 and 2002 still going strong. LCD tvs from 2012 and 2022 just went kaput for no reason.

Old hardware rocks.

Hey bossman thanks for pointing this out. Will have to look for it next time I watch. Yam seng.

Awesome read. Ty for sharing.

For nearly a decade he was the world's only radio astronomer.

Outside of that, we have a "retro" corner in our home with a 32" trinitron.

A 32” Trinny. Nice. I have the 32” JVC D-series which I consider my crown jewel. It’s for retro gaming and I have a laserdisc player but a very limited selection of movies. Analog baby.

Sadly though, as I get ready to take on a mortgage, it's likely most of my CRT's will be sold

Mortgage = space. You won’t believe the nooks and crannies you can fit CRTs into. Attic. Shed. Crawl space. Space under basement stairs. Heck, even the neighbors house. I have no less than 14 CRTs ferreted away in the house. Wife thinks I have only 5. Get creative. Don’t worry about the elements, these puppies were built to survive nuclear blasts. Do I have a sickness? Probably. But analog!!!

Hello fellow CRT owner. What is your use case? Retro video games? PC games? Movies?

Can you point me towards these ‘workarounds’ so I can learn more? TY.

I knew that TAS meant “a computer” but for those, like me, who forgot/ didn’t know, TAS stands for “tool-assisted speedrun”.

Username checks out…

Wouldn’t it be Slovak?

Man, this video is giving me some serious Neverhood vibes.

Perhaps this explains why I have a collection of over 10 CRT television sets squirrelled away in the various corners of my house…yes, I know it’s a sickness.

The Balrogs (Sindarin for ‘Demon of Might’; Quenya Valarauko) were Maiar (“Ainur of lesser degree than the Valar”). Other Maiar were Gandalf, Sauron, Melian. Gothmog and “Durin’s Bane” are the only two named.

Basically bad Maiar.

“The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel.”

For those not in the know.

According to Wikipedia it was Darwin’s second child (eldest daughter). I believe that is who you are referring to.

Sheep for wheat?

So, basically the McRib?

That site has an awesome text/font. Reminds me of a CRT screen with scan lines! Mind sharing?
