Welp. Guess I’m never visiting Switzerland so. That is a sad looking meal for 15 euros.

Out of interest, what’s the damage for a medium Big Mac meal there?

🥰

Oh that’s a great spot. Didn’t notice it initially.

You may bet your bollix that tank designers are earning really good overtime at the moment.

Magnificent machine. I loved mine so much for so many years.

Or when your mobile phone was about to ring.

Oh wow. I totally forgot about those.

That’s correct. Jesus they were awful yokes but they were really mostly intended for letting you know that your hardware was bollixed at boot time.

PC’s had mostly been business machines really until the 90s if my memory is correct.

If you wanted gaming you got a more gaming focused machine like an Amiga or console.

Pechanga Arena was just “The Sports Arena”

That’s what I thought! But it just seemed like my memory playing tricks on me for a place to be called “The Sports Arena”. LOL.

Random other info about that place, they shot a scene from Almost Famous at one of the freight entrances there.

WHAAAT!?!?! Love that movie and I only rewatched it there a few months ago not knowing that. That’s a cool little nugget. Thanks!

Not there but (and I had to google maps this) it was at a place that I think is called “Pechanga Arena” now on the aptly named “Sports Arena Blvd” but I think the arena was called something else back then. About 2 miles from Ocean / Mission beaches and close to my apartment at the time.

You did well with your purchases!

Flippin’ LOVE San Diego.

Got a second hand ISA interface SoundBlaster 64 at a computer fair in San Diego when I was visiting there for the best summer of my life in 1998. If I remember correctly it was $4.

Money well spent.

Well that’s a new one. Looks delicious. I’m a big Cadbury fan.

They still have those where I live I think. Chocolate shavings on top?

I wonder if working conditions have improved recently after this. LOL.

That’s why they’re worth that much. You can’t hoard that much wealth and have empathy. They’re mutually exclusive.

They sound like animals. Glad to see justice being done here.

I was just about to link that video. He does put forward a convincing thesis in fairness to him.

Second read: I hear you deep down

I did come across the competitive scene there about 2 years ago. Honestly I found it both fascinating and a bit disheartening. There was I happy with my occasional dad game where I was regularly beating the AI on one of the higher levels. Nope. Apparently still a noob after 25 years.

The speed and accuracy that they move and build at is astounding.

It is?! Must look into that. Still my favourite game of all time.
