Imi: 10 MHz? Probably 640k or 1 MB RAM. I had a 286-12 back in 1993 that had 1 MB RAM, and that was actually an upgrade from what we had before (a half-dead Sanyo portable PC with 256K and no HDD).

The I-71 construction I wanted to see apparently wasn't going on tonight, so I decided instead to go up OH 3 (a.k.a. 3C Highway) through Westerville and beyond.
So I go through Westerville, and right when I get past all the early-2000s suburbs and stuff, onto the first "rural" part of 3C Highway, I see three fire trucks coming my direction. And of course it's completely dark so all I can see are their lights in the distance--I can't accurately judge how far away they are. So I sorta just slow down and pull onto the shoulder until I can tell they're close enough that I need to stop. (As a side note: that part of 3C Highway has really wide shoulders for some reason.)
So the fire trucks pass and I get up a little further and decide it's time to turn around before I get lost, because I don't actually know where I'm going. I get to Lewis Center Road and I turn right looking for somewhere to turn around, but there's nothing but homes and I don't want to pull into someone's driveway at 4 AM. So I keep going until I end up crossing a former alignment of 3C Highway--called, appropriately enough, Old 3C Highway. The signs say Lewis Center Road dead ends so I say "screw it" and turn around using a minimal portion of someone's rather long driveway.
So I make it back to 3C Highway and turn back toward where I came from (but not before waiting for a cop with his lights on to pass). As I'm heading back into the suburbs I see two of the fire trucks from earlier coming back the other direction, lights off. And then I get to this Kroger, the parking lot of which has no fewer than four fire trucks still in it. I was tempted to pull into the parking lot and see what was going on, but by then I'd been driving an hour so I decided to just explore Westerville a bit more and then drive home.

Also the western extension of County Line Road kindaweirds me out. In part because it deviates from the county line by like a quarter mile (couldn't you have given the new road a separate name?) but mostly because it was clearly designed to accommodate a lot of development that never came to pass.
Having a Carbon Monoxide alarm increases the amount of oral sexual stimulation you recieve, because it's been proven by the FDA that people with carbon monoxide alarms have received more oral stimulation than people who did not have carbon monoxide alarms.

Take THAT people without Carbon Monoxide alarms! I'm getting my nob polished for SAFETY!
I actually wrote a review for The Garbage Pail Kids Movie over on TVT, and I have to wonder if the controversy over that has faded by now, since the Critic review of it came out 3 years ago, and unless you're a fan of bad movies, it's unlikely you'll be hunting it down.
I've actually watched it. It's bad. But it's a Golden Age masterpiece compared to some of the crap The Cinema Snob, Oancitizen and even MST3k have done.
Remember back in the 50s when they'd record like Elvis singing YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG and then they'd turn the record over and reverse it and it was all NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP and people were all like, "That is actually the voice of Satan coming from that song."

YouTube comments, eh? I was just thinking of one I found a few days ago. The video was a review by someone from The Game Station who, it should be noted, is a huge fan of games from the 80s and 90s. In this review, he said that Kung Fu for the NES was too monotonous and frustrating for his tastes.
Naturally, 30% of the first page of comments said something to the effect of "fuk u dumbass dont disrespect the classics". Oh, YouTube comments, what would we ever do without you?

Independence is nice. Takes some doing and a semi-decent wage.
I left my life in central Washington state to do a training program in San Diego that gave me room and board + 500 dollars a month while I was doing training in database design. Once the training was complete, I got a job in Bellevue, WA and shared an apartment with three other dudes doing the same job (more or less).
When that concluded, I got a job in Portland and rented a studio apartment for a little over a year before Friday moved to be with me and we decided we REALLY needed a bigger place.
Renting a house is pretty good now...
I guess the key is to basically get enough money going on a reliable basis that you can ditch home for semi-undesirably living space that's cheap, and keep doing what you do until that money flow is bigger and you can move on up to a desirable situation.

Yeah, that is a bit weird.
Any particular countries you happen to be interested in, Lazuli?
^I think we're very largely American, though. You, Idler, Bobby, Tools, RavenClaw, and Kraken are the only ones from outside the US that I can think of off the top of my head.

Yeah, we're hardly a forum specifically for the purpose. It'd be interesting if there was some sort of forum just about learning the differences of other countries or something.

I dont know man, I find this forum useful for asking foreigners my own age about their country

Africa Road in Delaware County, Ohio is so named because it roughly follows what was a major route for escaped slaves during the Underground Railroad.
It makes me want to find out the origin of some of the other road names around here, even though I'm sure most of them aren't that interesting.

You needed to know this.

I have recently been overtaken with a desire to meet people from other countries.
Surprisingly, I have not found a forum for this purpose.
