Same! Hot Pursuit and Hot Pursuit 2 have a special place in my heart. I never got the same enjoyment out of the underground / street racing NFS games.

This is really an interesting area that doesn't get too much light. I've sat in one of the mentioned living rooms in the Upper East Side that housed these types of antiquities. I won't name them, but they were raided and had over 70 items removed because they were stolen from their original location.

It was quite odd to see; they had a massive database containing pictures, values and auction histories of all their items in FileMaker Pro. You walked in their apartment and you were greeted with a table (itself an antiquity) containing statues of African origin as well as some of marble from Europe. Large format paintings from the 1500s-1600s lined the walls of the living room I was allowed to walk through - they were very protective of where I was able to walk in my capacity of "IT guy".

All of these comments about the server shutdown are from 2025, so this isn't exactly new or news.

I'm intrigued by these TUI posts I see, but I'm wondering how everyone uses more then one at a time. Do you all keep multiple terminal windows or tabs open with these apps all day or just open these TUI apps when needed?

But the author wouldn't get clicks if they wrote a more truthful and less clickbaity headline, such as "My computer doesn't work since I upgraded to 26.3 and I have no idea why".

RIP. I still have a few Tekserve totes around - one of the many awesome quirks of the store. They were great pre-Apple Store for repairs and purchases - make an appointment, describe your problem, bring your device in, and get it repaired some-what quickly and at not a terrible price. It wasn't as cheap as Applecare repairs, but it fixed your expensive fancy computer.

I worked on the same block in NYC for 12 years. Not once was the street ever scaffolding free. Better yet, as described in the article, scaffolding would be up for years in front of buildings. So much so that you just got used to it and when it came down, the building facade and building itself that were uncovered were a pleasant surprise to see again.

These planes that we sell, not just the F-35, all come with a bevy of support from US folks. I have friends and family that travel that globe, visiting US allies, in order to support, train, and meet with counterparts in the respective countries to assist their use of US aircraft they purchase. These friends and fmaily also get flown around if there are any accidents or investigations involving these planes. The F-35 is just the next step in the "subscription service".

> They pay Mozilla to exist and they are paying Mozilla to intentionally drive Firefox into the ground.

Come on, that is just crazy talk. I get that Mozilla has made some boneheaded decisions but this is baseless conjecture.

Just curious, what kind of changes or tweaks do you typically make to your UA and why?

My boss has a few neighbors who are Nvidia and former Nvidia employees and they're all driving their shiny, fancy sports cars and such and living the high life thanks to the stock they got. It doesn't surprise me they're having churn and / or retiring cutting in to their workforce. Probably not enough to be substantial, but enough to count for something.

There is a whole world of space patch collecting and whatnot. The different companies and sometimes mistakes make some patches worth more then others. Of course, flown patches also still collect a nice sum. Me and my father own a large number of flown patches and "beta cloth" patches.

Growing up, I bought an Apollo 9 patch on ebay that I liked. I shortly after got an email from none other then John Bisney who said it was a variety he had never seen before and offered me a small sum for it. As a kid still using dial-up, it was quite the experience at the time!
