There's some people who've done that IIRC. Shucked the GBC/GBP and just threw in other hardware and emulated.

I got the yellow pocket, along with pokemon IIRC. The yellow pocket with the Pokemon Yellow Edition looked pretty cool.

Yep, it was pretty exciting not to have the wiggly-light that sucked 3/4 of your battery compared to actually you know, playing games. People also don't realize how having a rechargeable battery changed things as well. Batteries were/are expensive, parents having to hand them out a few times a week really added up. Not having to constantly replace them and carry extras with you (plus being able to just plug into the wall whenever) was a HUGE thing at the time.

Pretty much. Takes a LOT of time/money to certify an aircraft. People may whine, but I'd rather it be that way than have random aircraft falling out of the sky more often. Imagine if flying had the same lax regulations as driving, it'd be a bloodbath. New aircraft will be released eventually.

Very much worse. Generally they take commercial licenses a LOT more seriously than regular ones (assuming he had one, I know some people who deliver locally and just avoid DOT stops), so he probably will be lucky to drive in the future I'd imagine. No idea on how criminal charges will happen in this case though.

Where does a cop who is also an artist, fall into that mix?

Almost like they're well connected and have enough money/power to not worry, and plan to use this chaos to profit more. If they cared, this would have been handled already, I know how law enforcement works when they're properly "motivated".

So they just move all the particulates to their water sources? "Regular" dust isn't the worst thing (assuming it's just dirt-dust), but some materials like brake dust probably isn't too great. Then considering that water will also carry anything on the ground like tire particulates and stuff. I get it's a trade off, better to breath, but wish there was a better way.

Kind of crazy being alive and aware that by the time I'm out the door, the world will be an incredibly hostile place. Between the changing climate, lack of food/resources, and countries fighting for said resources, it's going to be a very different way of life for many people.

Huh, I never knew that. Yeah, that could certainly be a problem. If that's the case, I'd imagine corruption and issues like that extend to quite a few organizations/industries then. It's scary when you remember events like Bhopal, and how they can (and do, sadly) still happen today.

That's my understanding as well. Modifications or people getting really cheap stuff that's not directly meant for the batteries/device.

Huh, will be interested to hear new information as/if it comes out. I just want to know to what extreme the bridge was pushed to cause the failure, or which extremes I guess. Rarely is it usually one singular issue but a series of failures on stuff. Overloading a bridge with people (can you do that? Vehicles are heavy, but are people more dense when shoved together?) then having them undulate the bridge would cause some serious stresses I'd imagine. Pair that with quick/shoddy construction, I could easily see that happening.

Six months? I mean, had you said six years I'd at least understand, poor construction plus overweight vehicles and rust can do damage fast. Six months means these poor people didn't have a chance. Does India/that province even do bi-yearly checks? Guess this is why some stuff gets checked very soon after construction, as an addition to during.

Edit: Video of the aftermath in the /r/CatastrophicFailure subreddit for those who are interested.

Not everything has a touchpad built in..?

Especially considering I'm sure you could just get a really small, external touchpad if you really needed something as small form-factor as possible. I guess it's a cool display thing though if someone's into origami.

Not to mention LTS versions of Windows exist. Sure, Windows isn't as good about them in some situations, but pretending there's zero long term support for Windows is a bit dishonest. I got nothing against someone running either, just seems a bit silly to use ChromeOS when better options exist without being tied to Windows (different distros).

I'd be more worried about the build quality of the Chromebook and that lasting more than the OS to be honest, but never had one so no idea how how well they last physically. Not to mention you can almost always find a better, used device (just not a chromebook really) that will work much better, have its own storage and more than likely last longer than 3 years if you know what to look for.

If you were looking for the greatest, sure. They're looking for the most infamous though.

You mean companies are about to get a big payout for doing next to nothing? I'd be surprised if they actually used most of that money for the purpose it's meant for, instead of just doing stock buy-backs and such.

>how many large farms do you think uses those?

Depends on the specific setup and weeds they're combating. They're actually quite popular for herbicides. Made up about half at every place I've worked in the past, but nowadays I can see them being used a lot more. That being said, simply being made/derived from plants doesn't make them safe for the environment though.

Don't forget needing to have someone "install" it for you, along with paying out the ass for when the poor engineering or software outright fails.

> No harsh bs chemical

There's a lot of "harsh bs chemicals" that are specifically derived from plants themselves, and don't do much/any long term damage. The issue is plants become resistant towards herbicides, meaning you have to have multiple methods that you cycle throughout seasons. I see no reason why the plants wouldn't adapt to this either.

If this actually works (not just in testing), and is cheaper than chemicals, I can see it being popular.

> Landlords doing business in a way that insures they turn a profit and have the funds to PROPERLY maintain their properties and pay their taxes helps all of us.

Except when it doesn't, and they take advantage of people. Unless you're living in the fantasy that some landlords don't take advantage of others, or taking advantage of others isn't a bad thing, I don't think you've thought that out as much as you need to.

> The family had not been heard from since October 16, and the couple and their sons were last seen on Monday at a gas station nearly five hours north of their home. Surveillance footage showed the family “purchasing fuel and food,” police said earlier.

>Fremont Police Chief Tim Rodwell said Friday that the family left Suzette’s mother in the home alone. She was later found by a neighbor and is now being looked after by other family members, Rodwell said.

>Fermont Police also received a call from the father, Anthony Cirigliano, that raised concern about the family’s welfare.

>In the recording of the 911 call obtained by CNN, made just after midnight on October 16, Cirigliano said he needed someone from the Fremont Police Department immediately.

>“I need some police protection immediately,” Cirigliano can be heard telling the 911 operator. “It is of vital national interest. It is related to September 11th, and people want to erase me from the face of the Earth.”

Sounds like he had a mental break, split with his immediate family (and left his mother?) and hid somewhere for awhile.

People highly overestimate the average age of people on reddit I'd imagine (and how many of them are actual people). I wouldn't be surprised if the average age was around 14 or so, like a lot of other online games/groups. Looking at certain popular comments, it's pretty clear sometimes many people here have never held a more career-oriented job, or done a decent chunk of "normal adult things".

Reminds me of when dipping a cigarette in formaldehyde was a thing. I can't imagine how much damage that does, even in one sitting.
