I think my first one was 512 MB, but I don’t have it anymore.

In navy boot camp they require you to open a new bank account with your choice of either the Navy Federal Credit Union, or some other banking institution. You can tell which one I went with, since I can’t remember the name of the bank that they offered. They do this to ensure that young sailors are paid into an account no one else has access to. Far too many veterans got out expecting four or more years worth of pay to be waiting in an account, only to find their parents spent it all.

They just know about the Old Mothe Hubbard brand doggy biscuits that are bone shaped.

You guys already hit better than 4% according to some articles I’ve seen posted here-ish over the last couple months.

I’m amazed neither of you mentioned Ecco. That dolphin game is the only DC exclusive game I remember.

I don’t remember what Sonic game came out for the DC. I’m sure they ran ads, but the DC game that I remember above all is Ecco the Dolphin. Never got to play the game.

They also had a gargantuan library of games for every single console they had produced that just didn’t work. Everyone likes to rag on Nintendo for Silver Surfer, or that one Superman game for being unplayable, but Sega had so many of those unplayable games that no one remembers their names. Sega wasn’t known for quality after the console wars. They were known for having much cheaper games than Nintendo. I remember looking at the cartridges in the store, and Sega had a huge selection compared to Nintendo, and those cartridges were in the $45-$50 range brand new. Nintendo had about ½ to ⅓ the selection of titles, and they ran $50-$70 per game, but you knew you were getting good games 99% of the time, especially if you had a subscription to one of the various gaming magazines. PlayStation was Nintendo’s first real competition, and the PS1 was just eating Nintendo for breakfast.

I remember similarly. I was going to say that thumb drives weren’t even invented until 2005-2006, but I looked it up and they were invented in 1999. I guess I forgot that those tiny ones even existed since I was doing all my external storage on DVD-R or CD-RW.

Joe Rogan wasn’t involved in that project.

Meanwhile I got a free PS4 from Taco Bell and can’t stand the thing because it isn’t backwards compatible AT ALL. I use it mostly to watch Netflix.

They didn’t suffer any losses during Operation Preying Mantis

If they keep this war up, with the current losses in manpower, for another 8 to 9 months, they won’t have enough Russian males to repopulate the country. Putin may be effectively killing Russia as a country. Unfortunately Ukraine may hit that point sooner since they have fewer people.

And US aircraft carriers have an honestly embarrassing amount of firepower, completely disregarding the jets. There’s a reason that they haven’t been sunk by anyone other than the USN since Midway. Apparently we have sunk several carriers since WWII, one with a nuke. It survived the first nuke, but the second sunk her. Though the Independence survived both nukes.

The Pledge didn’t originally contain the words Under God, that was inserted in the 60s

Ahh, thanks. I think that may be a grandad level pun

That’s totally fucked up, and seems to be a violation of the first amendment, but IANAL

I’m not getting it. Explain, please?

Fair enough, I was just pointing out that isn’t necessarily a bad idea. The way they did it obviously is, since even Boeing said it was a bad idea.

The USN has been using gamepads for years to control submarines. It’s just a more intuitive interface for most people. They do however use corded controllers rather than wireless, because wired works. I’m unsure of what manufacturer they use, but I wouldn’t be at all surprised to find out that they got a proprietary X-box 360 controller that was made exclusively for them.

Most of the staff likely would have told me that it is mandatory. There are news stories all the time about kids being bullied, given detention, and other negative repercussions, for exercising their right to not say the pledge.
