The first game I played was Space Invaders in my dad’s local pub, he took me specifically to see and experience it.

The first to play at home was a variant of the grandstand 5000.

Then I played an atari 2600 at a cousin’s house, and I fell in love with centipede.

It was a couple of years ago, just after he had hooked up with a gf, and he was doing weird AMA videos while wearing a smoking jacket. The general gist of the rant was his political beliefs on racism, wokeism, and ‘there are only two sexes’, it wasn’t a full on hate-speech-apoluza, and probably not enough of a red flag for him to continue gaining in popularity.

For me, it coming a little while after Cody going a bit too RWNJ after Kanyon left him, it was enough for me to nope-out of his channel, but I have a very slim tolerance of youtube celebs anyway, I find most of them unbearable.

edit: given the ‘My Girlfriend owns a macbook, F my life’ video that was posted a week or two after his rants, I’m going to say it must have been 2019.

I stopped when he went on a transphobic rant about 3 years ago.

Notice how almost all social media sites are now offering, or considering offering, paid ‘blue checkmark’ options? Yeah, seems that us plebians didn’t factor into the ‘OMG, that’s awesome’ reaction from the CEOs.

Probably not, most power supplies go straight to a bridge rectifier - you can supply a bridge rectifier with DC and it will output DC just the same. But it’s possible to design a power supply that does it differently, in which case the designer - presumably also the user - would likely know what it needed.

If it internally runs on 5v stepped down, for example, you could just feed it from a handful of proto-potatoes and bypass the whole 110v AC section

Oh god, we’re overthinking a ‘shitty’ larson-esque comic now

You get about 0.25v from a potato battery, so 400 or so potatoes and you’d be home, maybe.

I use Silicon Notes; While it has ‘Notes’ in the title, it’s just a lightweight markdown based wiki

While the UK government abandoned this legislation

The law never really became law, it was dropped before the enactment date by Boris (because he loves his porn too much)
