An interesting game. The only winning move is not to play.

I think you are right. I keep finding different ways they did it, so sounds like the 1800s was a busy period in the development of mirror technology!

Pretty sure they just poured silver nitrate over glass. You can still buy kits to do that to re-silver old mirrors for the original look. From what I can find, the layered ones were older, and they used tin and mercury which made breaking a mirror a rather unlucky event.

I can’t be the only one who thinks the birds sound like a siege tank.

Ah, Jaffa jokes

That family in particular would have banked everything on mom. I know families (plural) where mom will wake everyone up when it is their turn for the bathroom. And families share cell providers, so a major vendor shitting the bed would most likely take out all of them. That happens more than it should. Same with power and no charge. It seems like everyone’s phone is on empty by the end of the evening. This is at least as probable as nobody’s alarm clock having a battery backup. They all had them in the 90s, unless you were using a mechanical alarm clock, whick would have worked. At any rate, the alarm clock fail was just one of many problems here. This is a family who managed to not notice one of their kids miss an international flight.

Mom forgot she turned her notifications to silent to watch a movie the night before. Mom got no sleep and hit snooze. Mom forgot to charge her phone and it died. Dad tripped over the charging cable and knocked it out. Power went out and the phone didn’t charge so it died. Heck, you could even have a carrier fuck up maintenance and knock out cell service across the country for their customers.

Also had problems with his choice of dog names

Or Kevin is eight years old and his parents reasonably assume he is too young to have a cell phone.

You can see the text on the front of them for what they are for. Blue are regular passports for casual travel. Red are diplomatic passports for high ranking officials. Green are special passports for senators, MPs or government workers on official business. White temporary passports are usually issued abroad where a Canadian citizen has an urgent requirement to travel but doesn’t have a passport for whatever reason.

Yeah, we found a way to bypass the parental lock on our old C-Band satellite system. The glory days.

Ok, this is brilliant.

Yeah, you need a new cartridge for yours.

I too had a barely year old AMD CPU go pop in an ASRock motherboard about 15 years ago. Bought the same CPU again and stuck it in an ASUS board and it is still running today. I know they have a better reputation these days, but this is the kind of thing that just shouldn’t happen.

Range on both is over 500km. They’re pretty much the only EVs that have that much range. But the fit and finish on the Ioniq makes it a luxury car by comparison. And they don’t have that Musky smell about them.

It’s one of the most expensive in Canada. 60K for a RWD base Model 3. You can get an AWD Ioniq for that, and should, since Hyundai can actually build a car.

It pains me to think that there soon may be a whole new employment field built around the demand for workers trained to muck out robo-vajayjay.

Doc: That’s an interesting name, Mr…

Fletch: Babar.

Doc: Is that with one B or two?

Fletch: One. B-A-B-A-R.

Doc: That’s two.

Fletch: Yeah, but not right next to each other, that’s what I thought you meant.

Doc: Isn’t there a children’s book about an elephant named Babar.

Fletch: Ha, ha, ha. I wouldn’t know. I don’t have any.

Doc: No children?

Fletch: No elephant books.

Make a read only file/folder with the same name and the script should fail. But that is horseshit.
