I told this story before. I was migrating an old system to a new one and we discovered that we were still sending faxes to some companies. Our system would create a PDF and send to a server that was connected to a phone line. So we called those companies to ask if we could find another way to send the documents. We learned that they too had a server with a software that would receive the fax and transform it in a PDF.

Wait! The same problem Larry Niven’s Ringworld have also applies to Dyson Spheres? Huh! Saving to read later.

Also a school district had an Amiga controlling the heat system.

Oh, maybe I’ll give it another try.

This is from Montreal’s south shore agglomeration:

The very first one, that’s in a small house/shed. And because we can’t save the game everywhere, I had to reload the las checkpoint to try again. It was really stressful. I play on XBox, so I don’t know if with a keyboard it’s easier. All I know is that I gave up.

I’m ashamed to say that I could not play the first game because I NEVER managed to pick a lock.

The clit? I loved playing with that.

Honestly I don’t think Gwent works with physical cards. Too many calculations. It’s a nice item for collection, though.

No Man’s Sky

If Tesla (or the marketing company) asked for permission, then it was more than “vaguely”.

Exactly. It’s a nice smoky whiskey. I also like the Johnny Walker Double Black. For the more expensive, Ardberg Ardbeg 10 and Lagavulin 16.

Crown Royal Black is very good. The Salted Caramel is nice too.

Yeah, let’s blame the victim.

I watched that movie exactly once when I was a kid, like, 40 years ago. My mother still talks about it when she sees an ewok.

Just check if the other side has an X-chock between the wheels.

I remember DirecTV in the late 90s used this model. When you wanted to watch a pay-per-view, you had access to a channel that was streaming broadcasting it for 24 or 48 hours.

I wouldn’t mind a special guest appearance of a retired Chief O’Brian building gadgets for kids in a distant colony.
