Cerol is old story. You can do it at home. Ground glass and glue. That’s all you need.

Kite fight is almost a tradition in Brazil. The real masters of kite fighting are capable of even capturing the enemy’s kite, wrapping it their own kite’s tail (called rabiola).

Now, when they do this near a highway, the razor sharp line can fall into traffic and cut through the necks of people in bikes. I had a line crossed in front of me once. I was in a car and the line wrapped on my mirror. I didn’t stop there because I thought it was dangerous. When I finally did, the line was embedded into the mirror’s casing, having cut through the plastic.

Another thing that can cause death related to kites. Kids love running after the cut ones. And they’re usually looking up, not sideways when running. So, being struck by a car is easy.

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.

Humpf…. Kids. 1996 at the university’s computer lab, playing Duke Nukem and Descent. The situation became so bad that we entered an agreement with the direction. If someone needed a computer to study, someone had to leave the game. And it worked. Everybody was happy.

This is beautiful, it’s poetry.

ECS Constant in Starfield.

It was. She tried, almost won (got the totals but not the proportional or something like that). Now, when this thing started with Biden, I didn’t see anyone talking about her trying again. Hence, my question. So she, like, gave up for good? Retired and that’s it?

Outsider here. Where’s Hillary?

Blue Screen Of Death.

They linked the community, not a particular post.

I did. Restaurants, movies, parks… I don’t recommend movies. We met, got to the theatre, watched the movie, but we didn’t actually talk, because, well, movie. How do you call that big sidewalk alongside a beach? That was awesome. Long walk just talking and listening.

What do you mean privately? I said do get into the restaurant. Meet at a mall, on a bench, in front of a store. If they appear, good, have a 5 minutes conversation and go to the restaurant.

I’m from the time of mIRC, where I met a few girls, including the one who has been my wife for the past 22 years.

Man, I saw a guy once getting stood up and I was really sad. The guy was seated, waited, asked for something small, waited more, changed tables to free space for a larger group and then paid and left. I mean, everyone here probably went on dates that got nowhere. Finish the meal, shake hands and leave separate. It’s part of life. But the golden rule is never go into the restaurant alone. Always meet outside l, somewhere else.

Diseases? The last group we knew of in Brazil died from bullets from illegal miners.

Well, I don’t own any houses outside Earth.

They’re “late”.

One of my duties in my first job was to build diskless computers. I’d record an EPROM in the station and boot from a Novell server.

It’s a good way to create martyrs.

Because of course they have shitty warp drives, they keep crashing on Earth, they almost never land smoothly on the planet.

Hey, I had one that did exactly that.
