    I can't believe this: https://www.google.com/search?q="Hey+hey+hey!+Nerf+Basketball+is+here+to+stay!" Millions of Americans who lived in the 1970s are still alive, and I'm the only one who remembers that?

      It looks like it might be "Nerf Basketball is here to play", but all that I see online is some TV jingle facebook profile looking for it.

    My sister got some cotton candy from the mall and it had soy in it. Why would anyone need to put soy in cotton candy? https://www.google.com/search?q=cotton+candy+ingredients

      So proud. Apparently my countrymen have seen fit to put together a cotton candy faq: http://cotton-candy.ca/faq/

       

      Seems there's soy protein in some food colorings.

    Well - it seems my lymphoma diagnosis is such that I'll never get to play my Atari 7800 XM. Kind of a bummer but may be looking for a new home for this soon.

      So very sorry to hear this. Try to keep a positive attitude, and let us know if you need financial help... it wouldn't be the first gofundme here.

    Missile Command (arcade) is mean. I went to my local seaside arcade for the first time this season and played the game on the Global VR Classics. I don't think I played it much when I was younger. I didn't realize you had to protect three separate missile stashes. On the 2600, I believe there was the one just in the center. And the missiles came way too fast. Just mean...

      A strange game.

      The only winning move is not to play.

    Now I know Discovery is Sci-Fi ... They're still using SQL in the 24th (?) Century? And hackers from the distant future are still trying SQL Injection attacks?

      I laughed when I heard that, and literally had to rewind to make sure I heard right.

      It's the far future, but the starship designer teams haven't figured out how to sanitize inputs. :P

    If 3D printing had been around when I was a kid... I probably would be dead by now from all of the fumes.

    Went to the movies today and saw the trailer for the new live-action Battle Angel movie, and I'm like WTF? What's the point in using cgi to make her eyes bigger?

      When human genetic editing becomes commonplace, guaranteed that these huge eyes will be on the menu.

    Feeling pretty sour right now. The Genesis I got at a yard sale years ago has a screw attached to the heat sink/shield that's so rusty that it's practically cemented into place. Nothing moves it, nothing! How the hell can I do an S-video mod on this thing with the sink in the way?

    1. RevEng

      RevEng

      Use penetrating oil on the screw, and/or heat it with a soldering iron to expand it and let it cool down, to break the rust. If you've stripped it, there are other solutions to that.

    Question for homeowners. My dishwasher is kaput. Easy to self install a new one or recommend a professional install?

    1. RevEng

      RevEng

      I've done this a few times, and it's fairly easy, assuming the old washer has a flex water supply and same connector as the new. I think they're mostly standard these days.

       

      But search youtube for "replace dishwasher" to get an idea if it's beyond your skills and comfort level.

      Keep gargling with super-saturated salt water every 20 minutes, and try not to rinse after. It has cured every sore throat I've had within a few hours.

    Got the Doors music stuck in my head. It's going forwards, backwards, and even sideways. Like a crazed cassette recorder that won't give up. I might have to do some ludes so it plays straight through and comes to an end.

      If you're going to get music stuck in your head, you could do much worse than Mr Mojo Risin.

      Watched all of them back in the day, and have done so a time or two since. :) In addition to other charms, the show always had an unwavering sense of optimism about the how computers might change our lives for the better. Contrast that with modern fears of privacy, predators, and security.

    So today my nephew celebrated 'national cotton candy day' at school, as if there wasn't perhaps something else to learn about on Dec 7th.

      A new holiday brought to us by the powerful cotton candy farmer lobbyists. The candy corn coalition is going to be pretty envious.
