Local theater near us has $11 matinees. Go before dinner and have a meal at the grocery store next door ($3.50 for a good sized burger and fries).

It’s a cheap date on a rainy afternoon, the AMC wants $30+ for the same experience.

This is why we definitely shouldn’t rewrite the nuclear launch software. A project manager could unintentionally push a programmer into justifiably ending the fucking planet.

Naw I need an A10 Warthog

Steering is what keeps bikes upright though, and the longer and heavier the bike the more work it is.

Full disclosure. I used to be a front-end, then full stack dev.

Add some black tape for the warning light and we can be best friends.

It’s well exposed with a nice flash, possibly medium format, but likely a decent 35mm.

Silver nitrate well exposed, cant look crisper better than digital. At least to semi-luddites like me.

VGA was 640x480 but you could do square pixels at 768 × 576 but only in 16 colors I think.

SVGA (Super VGA) was the first time I saw 800x600 glorious pixels.

But since our hardware upgrade was slow at home we jumped right to XGA.

Yup, when we did it, we were so excited, but then just kept running right until the timer ran out.

Same here but fixing bikes, mowers, cars etc. I do a little when I can now, but finding the time isn’t trivial.

Especially if they were at work at the time.

Even more relevant, his show Siskel & Ebert, was on at the end of cartoons on Saturday mornings.

I’ve sort of explained how mid-80s TV worked when I was a kid to my 7y/o, but he probably just heard the ranting of an old fart.

Naw, you can do it on the level with the balance pulley thing.

Didn’t leave on a 10 I guess, shame.

This! I have a couple brand new rolls from when a friends grandparents gestation closed.

They are about the size of industrial paper towel rolls, but make shitty rags unfortunately.

PB blaster has too many volatiles for using indoor on things like hinges though.

Silicon or white lithium can work but be messy.

Graphite is best for hinges in my experience, I used to use this PTFE spray, but not sure how bad the PFAS exposure is from that. I only use it on the stubborn poorly designed hood latch on my Impreza now.

That’s twice what it last car cost (used)

Yeah any nag screen needs to be disabled for at least a period of time after a donation (permanently, or replaced with a quick thank you screen for ongoing contributions).

Clearly reporting finances and costs is nice to see too and makes it more compelling for contribute in my opinion. A few Lemmy instances are doing that now and it makes it easy to want to contribute if you can.

Keeping the electricity on long enough to enjoy games or movies is gonna be difficult if you rely on the grid right now.

So maybe archive the electronics stack exchange, and solar/battery installation guides so you can steal it if the neighbors roof.

I used to build the internet. Now I don’t. I’m going to keep my kid off the worst of it as long as possible, but I’m gmdoing it by explaining the problems with it as he grows. So far so good, but he’s only 7 so it’s still the easy time for us. Check back in 2-3 years…
