Today I learned it is illegal to operate an escort service within a residentially zoned area of Louisville.

If they removed the "16 can play", it would address my real concerns with brewery kids.

I'm stoked when kids are playing pinball.

Less stoked when kids are crawling under the games or doing laps through the game room.

Sometimes I wish I had a tail like a cat so I could use it to convey emotion and also for some sort of computer input like maybe a trackpad

I covered this story extensively for @kineticist.comβ€”six pieces from Nov 13-Jan 23. Disappointed as an indie journalist who covers the pinball community to see @nbcnews.com frame it as an exclusive with no credit.

Hey, the IFPA went out of their way to address the situation.

They made at least one, maybe even two small posts to their website.

They're the small blurbs hidden in the middle of strings of posts advertising virtual pinball.

I also have a camera set up with notifications in the back room at my office. I know it's time to get a hair cut when the alert changes from Person detected to Dog detected.

So anyway, I don't want to beat a dead horse but this all goes back to "if you see someone saying 'this is not who we are' and it is clear that they are on your side in this moment, it's probably not the best strategy to start lecturing them about America's past horrors right now"

Pretty simple.

At an amateur radio event this weekend with an older crowd. Already heard that RFK is doing a great job, open borders are why measles is taking off again and vaccines are worthless.

Fox News and Facebook are pure cancer.

Everybody thinks 'https://' stands for 'hypertext transfer protocol secure' but it actually stands for 'head to this place, sucka' followed by a colon and two laser sounds

HX doesnt have a HDD in stock form. Instead C: is a ROM filesystem with DOS 2.11.

The other big difference is the HX has 3.5" drives while the EX had a 5.25"
