The dad's name is Con Kearney which is similar to 'con Carne', as in 'Chili con Carne'. I guess that dish is popular over there?

I think so? I'm not sure if I've been to the Fediverse yet, I'm not even entirely sure I've been to Lemmy yet, to be honest. I appreciate the well wishes nonetheless. Have a good one

I wish someone would answer you instead of thanking you in advance, I'd like to know too

Same energy as that Kevin James meme

I completely agree with your comment; the idea that a total stranger would assume you play so much Factorio specifically based on just your looks is very funny to me. I imagine an individual just plastered in Factorio paraphernalia.

I've been replaying Link's Awakening on my phone using a gbc emulator, you could try that. I've also just found Winlator so I might start also playing Sam and Max, you might see if those point you in any directions.

I'm not a scientist, but I think the question you're asking is the question they're seeking to answer by searching for life in these places. There isn't an assumption that if it had liquid water it may have had life (that statement alone inherently isn't an assumption), they are searching for any evidence of life on Mars because A) it's the closest and easiest planet to get to and B) while we know in what conditions life on Earth arose, we can't be sure the same conditions are necessary somewhere else, for life that possibly may not be carbon based.

I really appreciate you taking the time to clear that up for me, I see what you mean now. I was never really into scary movies but the kind of movie you've described sounds really interesting.

How do you mean "close the circle" in this case? Do you mean the writers of the films were trying to limit the amount of characters involved in the story? I read through the link but I'm not sure I understand what you mean by the "circle" stuff.

You absolutely should, I got an MSX emulator to play MG2 and I loved it. I couldn't get the english patch to work but I used a translated script page online and just followed along lol

I tried the port that came with MGS3 Subsistance but I didn't like the changes to the artwork, I prefer Snake to look like Jeff Daniels

The story beats are so similar to MGS1, it's as if MGS1 is a 3D remaster. I think they kind of referenced that in MGS2 with the S3 Solid Snake Simulation thing.

A revolution doesn't have to mean a sort of military coup, what we would have to attack is their sources of capital, the flow of wealth flowing upward. Something like general strikes and mass unionization to put control of capital back into the hands of the working class.

Sure, but you could say the exact same thing about bees. The point of the article is that most people see 'wasps' as being all bad, without the nuance that is afforded to bees.

 

I found a radio from 2003 that was missing a power cord, and I first thought it needed a polarized C7 power cord, but it won't fit at all. Looking at it more closely, it looks like a polarized C2 connector, but it's also locking? I tried searching online but I couldn't find anything for the C1/C2 connectors that's polarized, not even considering the locking aspect. Is this something anyone is familiar with? It's not a high end or particularly old radio or anything.

Here is a link to a picture, I wasn't able to upload it to lemmy directly.
