AM, an easier way to remember it for those who didn't grow up with the AM/PM system is that Midday is 12PM.

Ohh god, I just turned off Necromunda: Hired Gun. I love Warhammer, and grim dark but as for a long live in Necromunda? Not a chance.

That's really bad, sounds like a winter compound tire was sold as an all-season or something. That sounds like the typical treadwear for a winter tire that gets run in the wrong season.

Also for anyone reading this, If you ever need cheap tires try your local independent mechanics or to a lesser extent franchise mechanics shop, lots of people swap tires when they have 35%+ tread life left. Lots of shops will let these tires go for cheap if you get them put on at their shop. I would gladly take a good quality tire at 40% tread life vs a cheapo crap set at 100%

I work in the rim and tire industry so I find this really interesting. Haven't seen either of those two brands before where I am, but most cheaper brands nowadays are all made at the same two or three locations and just get a different name stamped into the sidewall.

It should be illegal to scan or redeem your lotto tickets before 9am. Some people are just trying to get to work, but nooope, gotta wait behind the superstitious lady who only wants every second scratch&win with a serial number that ends in 2 or some crap.

Front Mission just got a remake, it's out now. Not sure how good the remake is though.

If you like city building/survival style games I've been having an absolute blast with Timberborn

Been getting those emails for 10+ years, I just laugh and keep seeding.

I should clarify, by RGB I don't mean LED I mean modding the console to output an analog RGB signal (much better quality than the Composite of RF hookups you would normally use) for video out, you need specific hardware in order to take advantage of that higher quality signal though. Bob over on RetroRGB has a great write-up on it.

I repair and upgrade classic video game consoles. RGB modding NES, Adding HDMI output to a PS1 etc. Sometimes in the case of some NEC consoles like the Turbo Duo R, I'll buy ones that are totally hopeless (capacitors in these thing leak like crazy) and pick away at it for months, I've had some janky looking consoles but I've brought them back from the dead. Always satisfying when then work again.

I work in the rim and tire industry. We have anywhere between 10-14 installs a week (just tires or tire and rim packages etc) we deal with a LOT of Tesla's. They ALL do this. Alignments barely help, they are heavy cars with very poor suspension geometry. I know for the model S there was an aftermarket company that made a kit to fix the excessive camber in the rear to alleviate the tire wear issue but I'm not too sure on other models. I see and work on at least 3 Tesla's a week, seeing what I've seen, even if someone offered me one for free. I would trade it for another EV.

Yep! Co-worker had 2 old laptops, threw a SSD into one of them and put Zorin OS on it for his daughter to do schoolwork on. Not one complaint or question about how to do anything, and it's been a year. The other one was very very underpowered so I threw CasaOS onto it and got him setup with Home Assistant and Adguardhome.
