    You can daisy-chain the RF Switches (old Coaxial connectors) for your video game consoles into the ANT-IN hub on your VCR and use the VCR's audio and video out to output on component cables if your television doesn't recognize the signals coming through the RF Switches directly. You just have to turn the VCR on and tune it to channel 3 instead of the Television set.

    If you have blank videotapes, you can use the VCR to record game play footage using this setup. Just treat it as if you're recording an episode of TV

    Just read about that recently and started watching the show from the beginning last night. I used to watch the reruns in the early 90s, but I don’t think I’ve watched every episode.

    Today I learned that there's a national shortage of my diabetic medication (ozempic) because a bunch of idiot doctors have started prescribing it for weight loss to none diabetics. Fucking wonderful. Sure Karen, continue to eat that double quarter pounder with cheese and not exercize while injecting yourself with a drug to make you "lose weight" while the people who actually need it so the food they're eating doesn't kill them can't get it because of your fat lazy ass. What's worse is that it's not a good dietary supplement because as soon as they stop taking it they're going to balloon back up again since they didn't change their dietary habits. Smdh. Got an appointment later with my doctor's replacement to see what my options are while waiting for the company that manufacturers ozempic to up production but this shouldn't have become an issue to begin with.

    Apparently The Killing Joke was alwady published here in Hungary as a floppy way back in 1990 when I was like 3. While there have been higher quality hard paperback versions published here a few years so, I'd love to hunt down a copy of that old publication, as I love comparing how the same piece of literature had been translated and localized to the same language multiple times throughout the decades. I remember picking up a HPB version of the Dark Phoenix saga around 2018 as well, and how different the tone of it was compared to the monthly issues I had read as a kid during the mid-to-late '90s.

    Coral Reefs cover less than 0.1% of the ocean floor but are home to over a quarter of the world's underwater species.

    They are also known as "rainforests of the sea."

    I didn't know about the shortage but I saw where they was talking about using it for weight loss. That's some straight up bullshit there was or is a shortage of anti seizure medicine too which my daughter needs.

    I love that show so much. I recently watched one of the Mel Tormé episodes (I believe it may have been his first appearance on the show) after watching the new series with my fiancée. I like the new show, but it’s just not hitting the same as the original. I turned on an episode featuring John Astin’s Buddy and was instantly in stitches.

    Black holes dont actually suck you in. You can maintain a steady orbit like any other body of mass.

    Well, today I learned that Aston Villa FC are actually located in Birmingham, as opposed to somewhere down south like I always assumed.

    Shows you how much I give a toss about football and/or geography.

    So I helped move a piano and it had a electric cord in it. I found out it's a heater. For piano's in unheated churches to keep them warm in the winter months.

    That's because nothing kills the passion faster than a cold pianist.

    I'll see myself out...
