I did years ago.  I've done both folding@home and SETI@home. I just ended up stopping as well. Probably forgot to put it back on after a rebuild of my PC.

Since I have to avoid nuts, I go with Oatmilk. Breyer's has an oatmilk vanilla ice cream which is excellent.

Picked up a Panasonic UB420 for $200 and 2001: A Space Odyssey 4K.

Fort Wayne. It's not too bad here.   Maybe comparing here to florida isn't the best.  I am concerned over the scummy attorney general and the republican super majority in the statehouse.  I just wonder if we'll descend to that level the way republicans are moving.

This might be the most insane article I've read in awhile 

 

How a Grassroots Revolt in the Iconic Retirement Community Ended With a 72-Year-Old Political Prisoner

THEINTERCEPT.COM

---

A slate of reformers unleashed the fury of the Florida GOP and its business elite, and left two men facing garbage felony charges.

 

That's quite horrible.  I'm glad I'm not in Florida, but Indiana isn't much better.

Reading something like that makes me wonder how we save the country from such corrupt and petty politicians.  I'm not exactly hopeful.

I picked up FFVII Remake for the PS5.  Sadly for full price at walmart. Don't know why it has gotten so hard to find.

I also picked up a Schwinn IC4 exercise bike on sale from Best Buy.

A Batman Beyond film would be cool. You could have Keaton as old Bruce.

I haven't had a lot that I've wanted to buy lately. I'm waiting for them to announce a physical release of the clone wars the final season and the mandalorian.  Is Disney not wanting to release these and keep them on DIsney+?

The collector in me wants it but I haven't even played the first one.  It would have been nice if they made it in the shape of a Sega CD to go with the first one.

That's disappointing to hear. I was a fan of the first 2 games.

I got my Horizon PS5 this afternoon.  I'm working on cleaning up my entertainment center to make room for it.  What's a good first PS5 game?  I was thinking Returnal or FFVII.  I got Elden Ring on hold from the library.

Got an email from playstation direct today.  I was able to order a PS5 Horizon Forbidden West bundle.  I got the disk bundle. 

I do at work and when I'm around others.  As much I want to avoid catching it myself, I really want to keep from giving it to my parents who are caregivers for my grandfather.  The long term effects are rather concerning as well.

Living in Indiana, it seems like I'm one of the only ones still wearing one.  They aren't that bad.  I've gotten used to the KN95s.

These are my first good retro finds in a while.  The X-Arcade I found in a very rich neighborhood for $20.  I found the Lunar 2 in another nicer sale for $30.  I need to see if this copy of Lunar is in better condition than mine.

Sadly, retro stuff has really dried up in my area.  Finding video game stuff at garage sales is hard.

Also apparently the second Pfizer shot isn't as bad on people as the second Moderna shot is.

That's good to hear.  I got my second shot in a week.

I picked up a Turbografx 16 mini this week from amazon.  It was about $90 for a like new used copy.  That's more than I would like to spend for one of these, but it didn't look like I was going to be able to get it for any cheaper.

Here is my collection of mini consoles so far.  I paid retail for the nintendo ones, and $20 for the ps1 mini.  Still waiting on a deal for a sega mini.

Sadly, I don't have it my area.  It would be nice to have better reception or more channels for my grandfather.  Looks like the nearest area to me that might get it is Indy.

Thanks for letting us know.  Both of mine were puffed up.  I hadn't looked at them in years.

I would definitely five star as many locations as you can.  It helps with the new equipment you can get, like the cover from the Collector.  It also increases the network bandwidth available with is useful when you want to set up a network of ziplines.

I ended up spending countless hours raiding two enemy camps for materials for the roads.  I even stole their trucks to use early on till I could build my own trucks.  Building roads all the way to south knot city took forever, but it made deliveries a lot easier. 

I have a question for you guys.  Later on, a Doctor will reward you for deliveries with high capacity blood bags. Do you ever get the ability to make those?

That was an interesting video.  I had figured it was an expansion port, just didn't know the history behind it.

The story was weird but interesting.  You're post apocalyptic delivery man who has to contend with terrorists, invisible monsters, and the elements. 

I finally beat Death Stranding this week.  I spent 150 hours on this game.  It's been a long time since I sunk that much time into a game.  I ended up playing on PS4 since I found a copy at my local library.  Unfortunately, I hadn't updated my ps4 in a while and was playing offline.  I didn't know that other player could contribute materials, which meant that I made the majority of the roads by myself.  Fortunately, I found out around the distribution center before mountain knot city.

It was a interesting story, with one really long ending.  I really had a lot of fun using the zip lines in the mountains.  I needed only the veteran porter and first prepper to complete the central area and 2 others in the eastern region, but I'd had enough.

Is anyone worried about voter supression this fall?  With the virus causing large numbers of polling places to be closed, I am worried about this election. 

In Indiana, they let anyone vote by mail for the primary, but I haven't heard anything about vote by mail for the fall election.  I would really like to avoid going to a polling place this fall.

Has anything of Asimov's received a good adaptation?  I would like for it to be good, but I'm not holding my breath.

So what is the best home release of this to watch?  I have the platinum collection and The End of Evangelion on dvd.  Are there any better releases?
