Old magazine adverts are a fun way to spend an evening.

The original Castle Wolfenstein went for $30 in the second issue of Computer Gaming World from 1982. That would be over $100 in 2026 money.

Feeds/custom lists that you subscribe to rely on outside services. Bluesky itself is working for me. It may be just the one feed you're trying to view, or if it was all Bluesky, it's back.

Every human invention is about efficiency: making communication easier, killing people easier, extracting resources easier, more food, more leisure time, more comfort. We have put thousands of years of innovation into being more lazy about everything.

Meanwhile, cats sleep 20 hours per day and have humans to clean their box and fill their food dish.

Domestic house cats have already reached levels of evolution humans can only dream of.

An ice cube down your shorts will wake you up, but that's not something a fish would have a natural reaction to. Temperature seems the more plausible explanation.

Also, cold water specifically wouldn't mean much to an aquatic animal that lives in that water. It's basically the same as its body temperature, so the human equivalent would be washing your face with 37C water.

"Don't make a wrong move," the officer said as he pinned the struggling subject to the ground. "Period."

The officer tightened the handcuffs around the subject's thin wrists.

"Ow, ow, ow, it really hurts," the subject exclaimed.
