Personal computer. I got a Atari 130xe in middle school (newer version of the 800xl).

Put hundreds of hours on the thing. Had a 300 baud modem and connected to BBSs to download pirated games.

Actually fired it up 3-4 years ago. Most of the floppies still work !

Had 2-3 of them! Amazing machines for their time. Only knock would be the controller pads kept going bad. My dad started repeating them at one point.

I was so hooked on B-17 bomber with the voice module!

I’m not sure about the military, but yes a number of researchers used PS3s for cheap computing power.

It’s not JUST an American thing. People are biased against outsiders and people that are different.

Ftfy

You sweet summer child, Bill Gates has ALWAYS been a sociopath interested in only money and power.

His retirement and donating all his money to “charity” was only a smoke screen to preserve his wealth. He created his own charity (this is wealth preservation tactic used by ultra rich). And while it does some good, it’s main purpose is to preserve his horde and whitewash his past so he’s remembered as a good guy.

Correct answer.

Lol, people downvoted you, but you are 100% correct. He basically tortured wild animals for profit and popularity.

And these humans celebrate him for it.

I mean duh, people do realize these shows are fiction right?

Next they’ll have an engineer telling about the issues with light sabers…

Raccoons I don’t mind, they usually are ok.

Squirrels on the other hand are destructive as shit.

In the US, “most” corporate jobs are two weeks (26 pays).

For a while bi-monthly was popular in some sectors ( 1st and 15th usually)

Monthly happens but it’s extremely rare.

He wanted to drain the swamp of the other guys. NOT his guys.

We do have deep fried cheesesteaks

Or he had a heat stroke… Go help him.

So is this game worth exploiting (ahem I mean) playing?

That would be an ethical business, unfortunately they are becoming rare.

With a Polaroid.

I may be giving too much but I think some writers tried to steer public opinion lessen hatred using characters like Archie as a tool. If you pay attention over the course of the series while he never becomes good a lot of the hate lessened and he’ll admit people or things he hated were ok.

I.e. the racists become emotionally attached to him, so when Archie “learns” they will. (In theory)

Surprisingly, when blacks were shown they were treated very well and as equals by the dukes. It almost had anti-racist undertones outside of the General Lee if watched closely.

The issue is so few trans people are competing that there isn’t enough data to make any claims.

No, the Internet people are coming for them right now.
