Is it a zero if it lands on Rick?

We’re all just donuts. Run the connector mouth to butt with a really long flexible hose.
Older Millenials and Gen X, the same ones that grew up with the NES and SNES. Not small at all
Edit: Roughly 180 Million people in the US alive today, were 7 years old or older when the N64 released in 1996. Which is about 55% of the US population.

The Wii is great. Play games that make the most of the wiimote and nunchuck, those are the best.
My favorites were Metroid Prime Trilogy made/remade for the wii controls, and Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess / Skyward Sword. And the fun arcade/sports games like bowling, golf, Mario Galaxy, etc
Looks like I missed House of the Dead 2 and 3, so I may try to find a used wii and used copies to play em. It’d be awesome if Nintendo released a Wii Classic like the NES and SNES Classics.

128·3 months ago- An overly simplistic/naive view of the world. (Not sure what they expect here? Stopping weapons and technology transfer? Maybe the US going to war with Israel to stop the Gaza atrocities? Or are they just expecting something symbolic? If Harris publicly denounced Israel’s actions, would that be enough?)
- Thinking that the US President has more power than they do in reality (Congress and the Courts, checks and balances)
- Some logical fallacies they’ve convinced themselves into believing. False Dilemma Fallacy maybe? https://blog.hubspot.com/marketing/common-logical-fallacies

Yes.
My doctor recommended a pre-emptive supository for the inevitable constipation tho.
6·3 months agoAudi Pre-Sense was the worst offender. Looks like many others have similar experiences even this year:
I had a Nissan after that that implemented it a lot better, never any slam the brakes events. It would warn you with a beep and apply light braking first.

Agree with the automakers that the tech isn’t ready.
The article doesn’t mention how many times these cars slammed the brakes in false positive situations.
The cars I’ve driven with this are too conservative with braking in a lot of common scenarios like driving curvy mountain roads, or parallel parking in the city near pedestrians or taxis. I’ve had it brake multiple times in normal driving scenarios wtirh false positives.
The car takes over and decides to full stop immediately, almost causing me to be rear ended multiple times. Eventually the dealership turned off the feature, but only after multiple complaints from customers and media attention.
I vowed to never get another car with this system because of how bad the experience is. But looks like that may be an option only with used cars, due to the bew mandates.
I just learned some mezcals use meat in the distilling process after speaking with a distiller. You’d never know by looking at the labeling.

I’ve seen Sceptre recommended whenever this question pops up. https://www.sceptre.com/
I’ve also had a lot of fun using a projector in the living room as a display (with blackout curtains on the windows) but it may require some care to make the bulb last longer. And it was a bit annoying trying to figure out how to get audio and video working for consoles/laptops. I think you might need some kind of HDMI splitter and speakers to get audio and video working properly?
Another useful search term is “Display” or “Commercial Display” instead of “TV”
These “Displays” will be TV’s without any of the bloatware and spyware, but may be missing features like refresh rates, picture quality, etc.

Not answering your question, but avoid Roku like the plague
Maybe they’ll see an increase in 9/11 first responder style cancers and lung issues over the next few years.
