  1. @Streetwise I remember gaming on 56K ~1999/2000 or so. If I remember right I got about 200-250ms to Ultima Online. Those speeds were fine except for the lag spikes where it went to 1K+. DSL was a huge upgrade a little bit later and then of course cable modem speeds today are excellent for my needs. I knew a guy who had a T1 connection to his house back then. He taught network administration at one of those private for profit tech schools. That must've been super expensive back then. Heck they aren't really cheap nowadays.

    Fun times. Had to steal quarters from my parents' change jar to play. Goodbye, family values, hello petty theft!

    I never had an arcade within walking/biking distance growing up. My parents wouldn't drive me because my mom didn't like arcades. She thought they were wretched hives of scum and villainy. That and at the time child abduction was on the nightly news every night. The country was like in a panic almost with the Adam Walsh thing happening and the Atlanta stuff.

  3. I've been just doing top offs for months now. When I was just getting started I did water changes at least every other week just because. Once the newness of it all wore off I don't like to do anything more than I have to in order to keep everything going as it should. I might be missing nutrients that don't get replenished enough. I don't know tbh but I haven't lost any fish yet.

  4. So many choices I agree with everything above pretty much lol. I went with an Electric blue acara, pearl gourami & some praecox rainbowfish. Then a little bit later I turned my quarantine tank into a betta tank. I've had em for almost a year I think at this point and haven't lost any yet. The pearl gourami is a little more aggressive than I thought it would be, going after the rainbowfish but it can't catch them.

  5. I would put the Betta in the 10 gallon and just do without a filter until one gets delivered. Do daily water changes and use something like Prime. Or if you have any floating plants throw a bunch of those in. My Betta tank has a tiny sponge filter but the duckweed does most of the work keeping things in check.

  6. Yea maybe they can let you in either before open or after close some day. It's a shame that people in general are so selfish these days. In my area many refuse to wear a mask just so they can hopefully get in a confrontation about it. But that's West Virginia in a nutshell for ya. I better be quiet now or I'll get in trouble lol.

  7. Well said @Zenzo. I've watched football 40+ years but I never played it. I still don't know every rule and I can't name a coverage when I see it. Once you start doing a deep dive into formations and man vs zone there's really a lot going on. My mother always said why do they always run it straight at the other team, they know they aren't going anywhere lol.

    @StreetwiseI really like the Manning's show on MNF. They are both SB winning players, understand everything on the field, and they have a good time chatting plus their guests have been a lot of fun. The best player/analyst working is Romo, he is nearly psychic and has a phenomenal understanding of the game. 

    Oh yea that show is great. If it's a team I really care about I'll watch the other channel but otherwise their commentary is the best since Madden in my opinion.

    My first trip abroad was to Austria.  My first lesson learned was: Just because they won't speak English, doesn't mean they can't.        I know enough travel German to prevent starvation, getting on the wrong train or using the wrong WC.  It did not help when repeatedly trying to tell the Austrian hotel staff that the bathroom drains in my room were clogged.  3 days later I came down to breakfast only to find the dining room closed because of water pouring out of multiple holes the ceiling.  Ah schadenfreude!

    @sudofish  I had forgotten about  Morse.  Had to choose between Morse Code and Semaphore as Boy Scout.  Morse was the better choice.  I still have ...---...  rattling around in my head with a few other letters.

     

    I learned morse code and typing at the same time in the military. I'll just say a room full of guys in camo typing with a stern faced drill sergeant pacing about is a very weird experience lol. But I can type close to 100 word per minute so it worked.

  9. I liked early UFC. Gracie vs that sumo wrestler stuff like that. You saw different styles vs each other. Not UFC but I went to high school with Craig Oxley. Here he is getting spun around by Genki lol.
