Today I Learned

So today I learned mixing different battery types really will screw electronics.

Sony doesn't let GameStop trade in consoles without a serial code on them.

But Nintendo does. Hm.

The Catalyst program I have on my computer is actually my video card driver updater. So I'm quite glad I decided not to delete that the couple of times I've cleaned my computer's hard drive.

Ford offers a paint job they call Blue Flame and it looks so nice!

Spoiler:

There are cranes that can be installed on pickups with a maximum capacity of around 1/2 ton. That's plenty for lifting most engines and transmissions. They're supposed to be dissembled before driving off, but I'm pretty sure that with a ratchet strap or two and a tarp they can be transported fully assembled just fine. Besides, from what I can tell initial installation is a pain in the butt.

Chevrolet's Big Block engine has such a huge aftermarket that it is possible to build a complete engine in a couple of different configurations without using geuinue Chevy parts.

Ion Thrusters are not science fiction, they really do exist and have been developed since the 1960s and used extremely successfully in satellites since the 1970s with a zero-percent failure rate.

Pictures of ion engines NASA is looking at using:

What the Soviets invented:

Camerupt is a special attacker.

There's an upcoming game that will feature cute anime girls...........based off of mushrooms...

Is the director a fan of Rooster Teeth?

I don't think so. It's apparently from the same company that did two similar games, only, instead of mushrooms, they used cars in one game and ships in the other (which, I think you shared pics of a while back?).

Saturday morning cartoons are now a thing of the past...

I hadn't really watched them lately, so I was a bit surprised when I decided to turn on my TV to watch some cartoons this morning and found E/I nature shows.....

Apparently, back in September, Vortexx, the Saturday morning cartoon block on the CW (which was the last one on any of the regular stations) ended, being replaced by a new E/I nature programming block...

So now Saturday mornings either have nature shows, stupid educational shit for little kids, or, worst of all...... Infomercials........

What?! How are we supposed to get our badly-dubbed anime now?! D:

YGOTAS?

That isn't quite the same thing...
