I really hope to see them sometime. Whenever we’re in Quebec and there’s a good geomagnetic storm the weather is cloudy.

A joke also used on Futurama
I have never heard of this project and it might suck up a lot of my time. How does this differ from making a virtual machine from old versions of Windows?
I believe I first played RollerCoaster Tycoon on Windows 98. I also got SimCity 2000 from GoG but it’s the DOS version and I feel like the Windows version looked better.
For things that actually used the 3D card, I used to enjoy Midtown Madness 2, Motocross Madness, and Need for Speed III, but that all might’ve been in my Windows 2000 days.

Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL over 40 000 people have used the social security number 078 05 1120 in the United States.English
148·9 days agoIn 1938, wallet manufacturer the E. H. Ferree company in Lockport, New York decided to promote its product by showing how a Social Security card would fit into its wallets. A sample card, used for display purposes, was inserted in each wallet. Company Vice President and Treasurer Douglas Patterson thought it would be a clever idea to use the actual SSN of his secretary, Mrs. Hilda Schrader Whitcher.
Although the snafu gave her a measure of fame, it was mostly a nuisance. The FBI even showed up at her door to ask her about the widespread use of her number. In later years she observed: “They started using the number. They thought it was their own. I can’t understand how people can be so stupid. I can’t understand that.”
One embarrassing episode was the fault of the Social Security Board itself. In 1940 the Board published a pamphlet explaining the new program and showing a facsimile of a card on the cover. The card in the illustration used a made-up number of 219-09-9999. Sure enough, in 1962 a woman presented herself to the Provo, Utah Social Security office complaining that her new employer was refusing to accept her old Social Security number–219-09-9999. When it was explained that this could not possibly be her number, she whipped out her copy of the 1940 pamphlet to prove that yes indeed it was her number!
Is this strictly Lemmy or does it include related platforms like PieFed and Mbin? Because it seems like there has been some shift to PieFed

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Wats the legal test for consummation?
8·10 days agoIn Scotland, although marriage was formed by simple consent and required no formalities or consummation, the bedding rituals were widespread but unstructured; a couple simply wanted someone to see them in bed together. A couple could also be pressured into marriage in this way: a person stumbling upon an unmarried couple in bed could pronounce them man and wife on the spot.
Wait, so the Thomas’s English Muffin was their invention?
