i doubt any actor who ever lived could have played omar as well

Whoa, the forum list on the left is now so short!

Matrix trailer looked way better than I would have guessed

Love this game!

Awwww

(changes: had butter, so used it instead of coconut oil, added cornstarch, reduced the salt some, omitted agave and used 1/2 cup brown sugar)

Very well said.

That's awful VR. We're with you.

I'm gonna start playing this Minecraft game that's so popular. Or I guess it was popular a few years ago so it's really like skipping right to the nostalgia. Anyway I thought y'all should know. I'll check back soon with a progress report.

Bejeweled 2 still GOAT for me though, and I can play while listening to books or podcasts, perfect that way and unlike chess.

!!!!

Playing on the phone or PC? Or on a console?

Definitely a top 5 computer game. Here's a fun short youtube series that got me excited about the game:

I'm currently playing Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. The program is just mind blowing amazing. I'm currently flying a bush run up the Alaska Aleutian Islands.

I think it's still popular and always adding content

Have a great headscratcher happen this week.

I have a zombie email account that I have had for close to 20 years. It was a small ISP that farmed the email out to Google. The ISP shut down years ago but Google has kept the email alive as a free legacy account. I've mostly used it for junk mail subscriptions.

At the end of last week, it stopped being able to receive emails. Anything sent to the domain eventually bounced back to the sender. I've tried it from a variety of other providers and had a couple outfits contact my backup email saying they got bounced. A little detective work suggests that the domain expired and perhaps someone picked it up and wiped out the mx records. I can still send, since that goes through Google directly, just cannot receive.

Nothing I can do about it, since Google has the defunct ISP as the email administrator and they do not offer any kind of tech support to free legacy accounts. So it goes.

The fascinating part (to me anyway, being a wannabe nerd) is that exactly one sender is somehow still having their emails get through. Golf Digest. For whatever reason I've received about six emails from them in the last few days. They have current info so it's not like they were sent before the breakdown. I have no idea how such a thing is possible, but it's happening.

So, anyway, if society starts breaking down, trust ye in Golf Digest because they have some kind of hidden superpower.

As do alumni associations and their magazines. My wife pointed this out years ago, and I have come to agree. I recently started getting emails from them after 32ish years.

I started on this little tablet I just got but I'll end up playing on my pc I suspect. I'm trying not to get overwhelmed by it all right now. Old dogs new games etc.

My wife plays it on her tablet. There's a definite learning curve but she's a pro now.

Feel free to ask me for any advice.

How do you get a wife who plays minecraft?

Pre-kids, 20 years ago, we use to play CRPG's together. One person would move and the other would do the spells/fighting etc... Worked decently well. Fun times.
