  • There’s a part of me that would be tempted to buy a Nintendo 64 if I ever found one, just for the authentic experience with Mario Kart 64, Goldeneye, and a few others.

    The classic tracks usually vary some in newer versions of Mario Kart. Typically I’d say it doesn’t make a difference, mostly cosmetic, but sometimes it’s significant. SNES Rainbow Road is one I’d say is dramatically easier in the remakes, and I’ve seen comparisons showing wholesale changes on others to the extent they’re hardly even the same track. It mostly seems to impact the SNES and GBA tracks, though. Not as many real differences in tracks that were already 3D models.




  • Maybe, but one would think organic would show a difference then since the rules are much stricter for organic products and they seem to require some external verification to get the label. Since this is all anecdotal it’s probably worth asking if the person experiences a difference between organic and conventional wheat from North America.

    Ah, that’s too bad. I can absolutely sympathize with all you’re going through, including not getting much help from doctors. As much progress as we’ve had medically over the past century+ it seems like medicine is still just scratching the surface of what can be wrong, so as we get into more unusual things there’s a lot they just don’t know and can’t answer. I’ve had stomach issues for over 15 years and the diagnosis I’ve had is “Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)” or more recently “IBS-D” to indicate diarrhea-predominant as opposed to constipation-predominant. It’s not life-threatening but can be very disruptive. Sometimes the name bugs me, though, because it just seems to be a catch-all for when they’ve ruled out all the serious things they can test for like Crohn’s disease, cancer, or celiac’s. I have friends with the same diagnosis but very different symptoms and triggers, and I’d say it’s pretty clear we don’t actually have the same condition.

    I’ve tried all sorts of diets and medicines, things that worked at first but stopped, and at least now have some sort of equilibrium. The pills don’t cure whatever the underlying cause is but at least it keeps things more controlled. Maybe that’s the best I can hope for right now. Avoiding certain foods, taking my pills, and hoping nothing external happens to upset the balance. It sounds like you’re finding your equilibrium at least, so I hope that keeps working for you!




  • Do you live in North America? Have you tried eating products with European wheat? I haven’t done much research into if there’s any serious research on this, but I’ve seen some anecdotal instances (including a close family member) where people seem to have problems eating wheat and do better with a gluten-free (wheat-free) diet, don’t have celiac’s disease, but have been fine eating otherwise similar foods when made with European wheat. It seems different varieties are typically grown on each continent, so I’m guessing there’s some sort of subtle impact. Again, I haven’t looked into this yet so it’s basically just anecdotal as far as I’m concerned.



  • It just makes me think of certain old crappy Sony TV production monitors that would stop working in color but if you hit them in the right place they’d work again for a little while. Sony sold the parts to fix them for more than a new monitor so a lot of stations just put them places where it didn’t matter if they were black and white instead of color.



  • To me that’s an astonishingly low price for what it offers at those screen sizes. I can think of some high end professional monitors at the same sizes that cost more simply for high-fidelity color rendition!

    Pre-orders for the largest screen come with a 16-inch model at no additional cost. All variants display images in 9:16 portrait orientation only.

    I guess they might be usable for only this purpose, so perhaps somewhat limiting, but for anyone who can use this it sounds like a phenomenal price. I would not be surprised to even see this used at amusement parks.







  • It might be changing; my cousin’s kids grew up in the Charlotte area (not all born there) and the younger daughter got married last year and is still in the Charlotte area. She did a year or two at NC State but transferred back to UNC Charlotte and has stayed there ever since. Her older sister has moved around a bit but I think she’s back in the Charlotte area now, too.
