Holy crap. Well that explains a lot with that memory. Dad used to read a ton of sci-fi. I was actually just commenting about Larry Niven and my dad in another post, The one that was asking why nobody has redone Dante’s inferno in the 20th century.

e: I think he either must have read me the story or paraphrased it to me when I was younger, I’m going to have to bring this up next time we’re having a meal together lol. I read the entire short story you posted (very short! I read it while eating a carrot for breakfast!), and so much of it brings back more memories :) what a fun concept it explores, thank you so much for sharing the link, this made my morning!

Fair enough, I’m still trying to figure out most of them myself. It’s just the first first distro I used that my son set up for me. It’s a gaming oriented Fedora with KDE and comes preloaded with stuff for playing games. It did seem like it was working pretty well for a lot of stuff, but I went against my son’s advice and started trying to learn the terminal and borked some stuff, so he switched me to vanilla Fedora and now I’m missing stuff I need to run some of the games. I don’t know if anybody else has used it much it that has had any experience. Like I said I’m only on my second distro myself.

Well I don’t even know if it’s a joke, but just something about Superman’s spunk traveling as fast as he can, and how it would wreak havoc during some intimate moments causing some carnage or something to that extent. I don’t even know. Maybe it’s just something my dad was joking about when I was younger.

You are amazing, bringing lots of sunshine and butterflies to the 'verse!

They have been exceptionally great about maintaining their old IP with this one. I have some optimism as well :)

I thought Mormon tea contains plant based Ephedra? LSA is morning glory or Hawaiian baby wood rose seeds, iirc, no?

Oh geez, the original car was parked and opening its door which caused him to swerve into traffic to avoid the collision with the parked cars door. That’s kind of messed up man. I had just assumed it was going to be somebody intentionally hitting him when it used the term ‘doored’

Not sure if you’ve got one, but I do believe I’ve heard it’s supposed to be healthier for the prostate to occasionally empty that thing. Another part of the body that seems to break down as one ages. Don’t judge me, It’s for my health!

Just like taking a cell phone call, you’re supposed to pull over on the side of the road!

Three’s going to be more action. RPG? Interesting. Yeah, hopefully they’ll keep supporting the OG as well, I still need to finish that. Damn it. I was playing guild wars 2 basically all through my tethered Android with a third-party app, needless to say, I wasn’t always top choice for raids simply because of my latency. And my skill. And my build. And my attention span. LOL. My dumbass played for about 2 and 1/2, 3 years maybe, and probably dropped over a grand on silly mount skins, toon and inv slots and all the other various upgrades. I felt better doing it though knowing that the game itself wasn’t actually pay to win and had no monthly fees. I should really get back into that game. I have been away far too long from mistlock sanctuary :p

I’ll have to check this one out later, thanks for a recommendation!

I’d like to have some home network type of deal set up, I’ve been meaning to look into that. Self-hosting comm more. I don’t really have Internet right now though, aside from my cell phone, so I’m not sure if that would put a damper on things.

Cute Kitty collection you’ve got going on there, sorry for your loss about the roller lol

And for goodness sake, you could have at least marked your comment NSFW ;p My poor virgin eyes have never seen such beautifully pedicured toes! How will I ever go back? My expectations are now set far too high! I’m ruined!

Psst, what you doing after this comment? Want to meet up and play toe war? :p

i don’t use steam

What about Nobara?

That’s a pretty clever theory. I like it

Fleischer animation studios was amazing. I want to say they invented the rotoscope? If not maybe I’m tripping. Either way, their color classics collection was absolutely fucking phenomenal and has so many bangers. I think pretty much all of them are public domain now, aside from one one specific cartoon that Burger King now owns the rights to for some fucking reason (I think it was a commercial that they utilized it in, the toon was called ‘tears of an onion’) color classics if I recall correctly, were competition for Disney studios, merry melodies? I’m a little bit Rusty on all of it but I just know that my parents pirated a shit ton of them on VHS tapes in SLP mode or something like that. God I have such vivid memories of some of these. ‘Play it safe’ was a great one, ‘Small fry’ stands out as well as a classic in my mind. Oh, ‘cobweb motel’ was great also. I’m going to have to go on a nostalgic binge down the rabbit hole now.

If Max actually did say that that’s pretty messed up though.

Aside from Betty boop and things like color classics I think him and his brother Dave also did Popeye.

Kind of janky but maybe something like this? https://soundclouddl.cc/ or something like this perhaps https://github.com/archisvaze/arcdlp if you just use a search engine to look up YouTube to MP3 or something to that nature you can find a lot of different results. I think they even make browser extensions as well.

I actually did just buy a lot of albums in the last 48 hours, once I realized that I could bc my tax return lol. Before that I was pretty broke and wishing I could actually buy some. A light bulb finally went off and I was like oh yeah, I got some money now :p I do like to test drive a lot to see if I really vibe with it also. if it’s something that actually touches me, I usually wind up wanting to have a higher quality version stored locally.

Is paddle, not whip tho :p
