The Pentium Tillamook 266MHz mobile cpu can be modded to run in some desktop motherboards and can be overclocked to almost double its original speed.

Games in 1994 cost on average $60. That’s about $128 today. The cost of production of those games was at most a few dollars more in materials. Not nearly enough to explain the price difference. Games were simply more expensive then than they are now.

The animals that used to eat out of it probably thought “what the hell kind of trough is this.”

I said no such thing. Go pick a fight somewhere else, bud.

As much as I hate to see pain and suffering in the world, animals have no qualms about eating other animals alive.

Under the currency reforms enacted by Roosevelt, the federal government owns the gold and holds it as security for $11 billion in gold certificates issued, in book-entry form, to the Federal Reserve Banks. The Federal Reserve Banks use these certificates as a small fraction of the collateral for Federal Reserve Notes.

I'm curious about what, exactly, America will do with a strategic reserve of Bitcoins

The same thing they do with their strategic gold reserves.

That has to be the most annoying auto play video ever. Can’t pause it and can’t get rid of the overlay.

The situation won’t be resolved until Russia has truly been broken or Ukraine has nukes. They will not stop until they have what they want at any cost or they perceive Ukraine as a credible threat.

Long range missiles are great, but Ukraine needs to really break them or they will just keep going.

It’s also a picture of Vancouver, Canada, so it’s wrong on all levels.
