Jezz, Wolfenstein (Gasing for Effect) was my life for about two years straight, night and day. I was hooked.

Now love is a strong word, with many implications including babies. lol.

I'm still here. I need to do my weed duties today. I also need a water filter for the fridge, a spring return hinge for the garage door to the house, and a tank of propane gas, so I can burn down the grow area again. Death to all insects! lol

VPNs just change your location it isn't hard to create a program that does it, there's millions out there

No that is not what a VPN does. A Virtual Private Network provides privacy. To change your location is a proxy server.

That's exciting enuff for me.

I hope that was all for just an oil change

Ohhh ok. Well, I really doubt STIGGY was actually hating on gamers. He was just remembering the old days before all the electronic games. Keep in mind, most of us are a good bit older than you and our world didn't have all that.
Really tho, don't need to be "on guard". This thread doesn't put up with haters.

Me thinks there's something rotten in Denmark.

Bi Job have to rop the tank unless pick up then they can cut a hole or remove the whole bed
That price with new pump is not that bad

There was a Lunar Lander on display at the Franklin Institute in Philly. The Lander is real. As to landing on the Moon, that's another story. My FIL sent them Morse code with his call letters when they were reentering the Earth's atmosphere. While they had no way to respond, he did it anyway. They sent him a plaque in the mail that he contacted them successfully. They knew where he lived and who he was by his call letters.

NESS
My your day be blesse with Joy​

Youtube is a scary rabbit hole as far as the lunar landing goes. Never doubted it. Watched it live as a 4 year old. However, after hanging out with a bunch of really smart engineers for 5 years working a 12 hour night shift and listening to what they had researched, I am on the fence. The whole Van Allen belt thing being the only protection for humans from radiation and the mission being out of the belt is perplexing.

I helped make the mirrors for the Chandra X-ray telescope as a younger Fogey. I was one of 16 opticians. Actually saved the entire program one night with a no-look snag of a 40 lb piece of metal that would have smashed one of the 12 mirrors(only 8 wound up being used). One guy was trying to save time and dropped a piece of metrology tool in and my hand shot out reflexively and caught it inches before impact. I’d probably still be in jail for protocol violations. Now I wonder, is the telescope up there or was that a ruse...

They're everywhere. Know everything. No one is safe

Pretty Neat
Chandra X-ray Observatory
Flagship-Class Space Observatory
The Chandra X-ray Observatory, previously known as the Advanced X-ray Astrophysics Facility, is a Flagship-class space observatory launched on STS-93 by NASA on July 23, 1999. Chandra is sensitive to X-ray sources 100 times fainter than any previous X-ray telescope, enabled by the high angular resolution of its mirrors.
