I own a couple actual vintage arcade machines and paid less for them than this. If you shop around you can find deals.

I also have one of these 1up cabs and it is definitely not like vintage. Software may be the same but it is using a modern monitor not a CRT. I think I paid around 300 for it several years ago. Not full size.

Miss me with this pussy shit, bitches!

You need to punch up your comeback game? I gotchu!

Someone called you a motherfucker? “I found out yo momma so UGLEE her blowjobs count as anal. And she LOOOVES giving me “anal”.”

Someone called you a rebel without a cause? “At least I’m not a faggot without a dick.”

Some comebacks that work for almost anything:

Did you think of that YOURSELF, Einstein?
You’re dumber than you look.
You’re not the brightest bulb in the pack, are you?
You’re not the sharpest knife in the drawer, are you?
Did your mommy tell you to say that?
Are you always an asshole or only on Fridays?
Are you sure you know what all those words mean?
I’ve been called worse by better.
You go out in public with that face?
Your village called – they want their idiot back.
You’ll never be the man your mom is.
Which circus did you escape from?
Which zoo did you escape from?
Which ape cage did you escape from?
Your ass must be pretty jealous of all the shit that comes out of your mouth.
Grab a straw, because you suck.
I don’t have the time or the crayons to explain.
If you were a spice, you’d be flour.
It’d be awesome if you used glue instead of Chapstick.

Thank you, Nima!

Next we should cut off thieves’ hands. Then harvest organs randomly from prisoners.

They’re criminals. They should not have any rights. Fuck em, right?

Its all yo momma’s fault!

I am sure some farmers are rich.

I am also sure that farmers, like almost any other large group, have a wide range of incomes.

Wealthy white men from rural areas

Farmers?

Boycott!

Very interesting idea. If I could afford it, I’d buy one!

Would you consider a hybrid design too?

I would finally build the dome home I dreamed of in college. Myself, no contractors.

Planning might push this in other directions like an earth berm home or similar. I might also consider some hybrid designs. Alternative housing is really interesting and uncommon.

If the difference were only a nominal % I might agree with you.

When I bought the Complete Calvin and Hobbes the price at the local bookstore was about twice the online prices.

They’re actually earning the nickname Worst Buy.

Do you want free? Ask in the piracy mag.

I appreciate local bookstores and brick and mortar B&N…BUT prices.

Unfortunately online is much cheaper than in store.

I know some shit is unavoidable. But I really do think about clicking on links that seem questionable to me. I try to prevent but also know this is an imperfect strategy.

I’m not exactly an expert so please research all of this further, but my understanding is that you have a few options. In no particular order:

1. COBRA. I know it’s expensive ($800 / mo or more) but you’re still getting the “group” discount your employer gets. Cheaper than buying insurance on the “open market” without getting your employer’s group discount.
2. Major medical. This is health insurance but only covers major incidents. No preventative care. Shitty but better than worst case medical problems bankrupting you.
3. Open market insurance. Just buying straight from a health insurance company. Very expensive. Try Obamacare first.
4. Obamacare. This has different names in different states. Tiered costs based on income. You’ll want to research how it looks at income because this might inform the timing of leaving your job/current health insurance.
5. No insurance. Terrible option, but you can go to the emergency room and they have to treat you.
6. Other insurance. I believe some places like Costco (Sam’s club?) offer health insurance for businesses.
   The whole thing is a confusing mess and no options are perfect.

Have you talked with other small business owners? Do you have connections to the business community that could explain what they do? If you don’t have anyone to network with about this, FIND some people. Even just by walking into their business and telling your story. Many communities have business incubators or other networking for startups. At least one mentor could make a HUGE difference for you.

Is starting the business and ramping it up for some time THEN quitting possible? This could make sense for a lot of reasons, not just health insurance.

If nothing else, you could work long enough to save up 6 months or a year of COBRA and then quit to do your business full time.

Best wishes!

I LOVED TA back in the day. I recently bought it again off Steam.

Did you mean to link to a creative commons license?

Atari 2600 gamez! Very cool. I still have my 2600 and the TV I used when I was a kid. Both still work.

Also, so glad someone put arcade games on their list.
