Penn & Teller bullshitting...

Take the environmentalist quiz: tXkGzbwkMic If you didn't see one of the founders of Greenpeace saying that modern environmentalists are ignorant of what environmentalism actually is, then you need to get your eyes and ears checked.

Nice! How many sealant layers, and what type of sealant?

SPAZ... Working on the Insane playthrough achievement, and I'm over 1/3 of the way through...

Thank you very much for attempting a search, it was kind of you. Just to make you aware though, one of the links in that site was pretty sketchy. No problem, I was kinda wary of that site link as well... But better to present all available than potentially cut from the actual material desired. Avast Internet Security, a custom made anti-malware program, and frequent scans/checkups using various programs on this end. (MBAM gets too many serious false positives with the software I use frequently)

You might also want to look into putting your podcasts into a torrent... Bandwidth is limited only by your own connection until more computers have it, then you have the bandwidth of those computers as well. I think there's even a streaming feature to the torrent protocol.

I sometimes believe that well-meaning but ignorant people can be more dangerous than actively malicious people. That's the vast majority of environmental activists right there... Well-meaning ignoramuses.

1973 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1973 The United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland and Denmark enter the European Economic Community, which later becomes the European Union. The pilot episode of the longest-running TV comedy series in the world, Last of the Summer Wine, is broadcast in the United Kingdom. Elvis Presley's concert in Hawaii is the first worldwide telecast by an entertainer, that is watched by more people than watched the Apollo moon landings. It was never shown in the Eastern Bloc Countries because of Communism. U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War ends with the signing of the Paris Peace Accords. Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon, one of rock's landmark albums, is released. The first handheld mobile phone call is made by Martin Cooper of Motorola in New York City. Skylab, the United States' first space station, is launched. Skylab 2 is launched on a mission to repair damage to the recently launched Skylab space station. A patent for the ATM is granted to Donald Wetzel, Tom Barnes and George Chastain. The United States Drug Enforcement Administration is founded. Bruce Lee, American actor, philosopher, founder of Jeet Kune Do, dies in Hong Kong of cerebral edema (six days later his final film Enter the Dragon is released). The Norrmalmstorg robbery occurs, famous for the origin of the term Stockholm syndrome. Writer J.R.R. Tolkien dies. Yom Kippur War begins: The fourth and largest Arab–Israeli conflict begins, as Egyptian and Syrian forces attack Israeli forces in the Sinai Peninsula and Golan Heights on Yom Kippur. The Arab Oil Embargo against several countries which support Israel triggers the 1973 energy crisis. NASA launches Mariner 10 toward Mercury (on March 29, 1974 it becomes the first space probe to reach that planet). U.S. President Richard Nixon signs the Trans-Alaska Pipeline Authorization Act into law, authorizing the construction of the Alaska Pipeline.

Trying to find a reason to care about anything, but right now, everything is boring.

You should see this weird stuff that's coming out of my ear...
-
Which ones? The ones that were talking about "make peace not war", the ones calling it "better than doing nothing", the ones saying that they "prefer drones rather than troops, because no troops get hurt that way", or the ones that are merely saying "I don't give a fuck" in long drawn-out paragraphs?

Yeah, but he did have some freaky notions about robots being commonplace right about now. (damn you governments for not advancing technology fast enough! We need a war to help us along)

Riiiiiight... So, evidence that supports my claims is "you just got lucky"?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_erotic_video_games#Nintendo_Entertainment_System OT: FTL... Currently have a total of 4 achievements to go before I have them all, and it's taking me inordinately longer than I was expecting to get all the ships. Maybe I'll just go back and do another round of SPAZ to unlock another 3 of the achievements... (I would do all four that remain, but I have issues with constantly blowing up the bounty hunter bases; I can't help it, I just have to destroy the biggest, most powerful things in the game)

Possible to create a map out of this game?
BTGBullseye replied to Ross Scott's topic in Miscellaneous
Sounds almost identical to what I've gotten with old games like this... They all seem to be formatted to be impossible to hack successfully with today's systems... 8-bit programs have to be emulated to run on modern 32/64-bit systems, simply because the hardware doesn't have the instruction set required, and results in extreme difficulty in altering the program in any way. -
Interesting interview... A bit long on the parts that didn't really do anything, and an awful lot of "blank space"... Still, anything with Ross in it is good.

1971 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1971 The world population increased by 2.1% this year; the highest it ever did in history. President Richard Nixon declares the U.S. War on Drugs. After a successful mission aboard Salyut 1, the world's first manned space station, the crew of the Soyuz 11 spacecraft are killed when their air supply leaks out through a faulty valve. Jim Morrison, lead singer of The Doors is found dead in his bathtub in Paris, France. Michael S. Hart posts the first e-book, a copy of the United States Declaration of Independence, on the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign's mainframe computer, the origin of Project Gutenberg. Right to vote: The 26th Amendment to the United States Constitution, formally certified by President Richard Nixon, lowers the voting age from 21 to 18. Apollo 15 astronauts David Scott and James Irwin become the first to ride in a lunar rover, a day after landing on the Moon. JCPenney debuts its trademark Helvetica wordmark which has been used ever since. Greenpeace is founded in Vancouver,Canada. (back when it wasn't a political anti-corporation organization, but actually was about the environment) The UNIX Programmer's Manual is published. Intel releases the world's first microprocessor, the Intel 4004. During a severe storm over Washington State, a man calling himself D. B. Cooper parachutes from the Northwest Orient Airlines plane he hijacked, with US$200,000 in ransom money, and is never seen again (as of March 2008, this case remains the only unsolved skyjacking in history). The Montreux Casino burns down during a Frank Zappa concert (the event is memorialized in the Deep Purple song "Smoke on the Water"). The casino is rebuilt in 1975. Ray Tomlinson sends the first ARPAnet e-mail between host computers. Crude oil production peaks in the continental United States at approximately 4.5 million barrels per day (720,000 m3/d). Wow... A lot of important stuff happened in '71...
