A place in Ft Worth used a subway designed to move people from a parking lot and bus access to it's storefront, and it sounds as alien today due to how changes in transportation altered the way supermarkets operate and transact. Many innovations such as the originator of Piggly Wiggly involve what today sounds like how a self-checkout works but using a system to dispense, similar to a junk/snack food dispenser.
The History of Leonard’s Department Store Lives On
https://fwtx.com/news/the-history-of-le ... on%20today.
I like to think it was as innovative as Wal-Mart, but the story of such businesses ran from cutting costs (such as a subway system. . . Which is cost prohibitive and sounds really stupid today) but also how supplies were introduced from low-cost origins such as China which gave a huge leverage to growth and competition.
I still wish society was less obsessed with mass consumption and appealing to impulse.

Re: What are you watching?
It's basically about sodium nitrate (and nitrite) though realize that a lot of "uncured" products in the store are basically just celery salt or something which contains the ingredients naturally, enough to label it differently (similar to how monosodium glutamate is relabeled as containing it; much as umami flavors are very abundant in all Asian foods (soy sauce, tofu, miso, or things which incorporate bonito such as dashi or furikake used as a topping for rice.)
The usual argument is that it's quantity that makes it poisonous, which tends to mostly impact the more impoverished communities (so whether the Scientist that reported leukemia and hotdog consumption showing a correlation wasn't just a reflection of how leukemia is common in black populations due to genetics, or if it was an actual reflection of how race and socioeconomic influences might impact the likelihood of processed food consumption in diets) and is something of a "which came first" chicken or the egg analogy (much as I tend to wondering about sociopathy and how society can promote epigenetic expression to atrophy the amygdala in populations, which would have evolved out of an evolutionary necessity when experiencing hardship or territorial conflicts.)
I believe the video shows a strong bias in favor of showing the negative aspects of how corporations and science is funded, and the kinds of people that show a clear conflict of interest on their own and demonstrate asshole behavior.
Quora:
Is sodium nitrate from processed meats like bacon actually bad for your health?
https://qr.ae/ps36eO
I've noticed the importance of having some kind of food preservative for things like beef jerky, as well as proper drying and also finishing some drying processes using the oven, but also having proper storage to ensure moisture doesn't return to the meat (which is also why salts are used in the curing process since they pull away any moisture that accumulates.)
What I find absurd though is the bullshit scientists were trying to pretend that the scientific studies linking excess processed food intake were not eliminating other possibilities such as other ingredients like condiments (which are mostly known for other unhealthy crap like high fructose corn syrup.) Giving people an accurate understanding of what is happening is often too challenging even for the scientists if they would rather pretend to address concerns and not actually bother to understand the reflection of data (when people are dumb and think they are smart, good luck trying to convince them otherwise.)

Cheap war propaganda. Some words about the remake of the Russian movie “A Guest from the Future”
https://universemagazine.com/en/cheap-w ... he-future/
Original 1985 (miniseries)
New one (Russia is using it for propaganda) with English dubbing, is aka “A Hundred Years Ahead," still being shown in movies so it's unreleased on streaming platforms.
Based on a 1978 book, One Hundred Years Ahead by Kir Bulychov (which has never had an English book published even though people seem familiar with the miniseries, and that it seems the character from the future is dubbed over and starts speaking with a posh English accent when in a classroom setting.) It probably has more similarities to 'Neverending Story. . .' that became propaganda of a future Russia filled with optimism (even though at that time there were books by leading military figures that created a fictional device to suggest Russia was headed for WW3.)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guest_from_the_Future
The only English book from the Author that I find is, Alice The Girl From Earth.
Re: What are you watching?
I had to do a double-take on whether I had Riven, because a remake was just released and looks so similar (yet costing about $30 "on sale") when it really doesn't add much improvement to the original.
I didn't want to spend $20 on wood pellets, for a brisket that costs around $20, so I placed it in a slow cooker (turkey roaster, where it's sitting on the rack,) and thought the 3-4 lbs of fat was a lot, though it seems to get worse for some. Here this guy is mentioning the importance of aerodynamics, but some would just use butcher paper to wrap it for smokers, or will grill with the fat side down. I was thinking of transferring the brisket briefly into a smoker just to impart some of the characteristics.
I was tempted to reserve the tallow (which could probably great for some bread making,) though didn't want to mess with the slithers of meat. It would have been nice though, and I coated the slow cooker and left some remains in the water which should be good to incorporate into something like a French Onion soup or even used to make rice for some ther dish (stuffed cabbage leaf?)
After putting away 2/3rds i did make a pseudo aujous-French onion soup and used the remaining reserve for stuffed cabbage.
https://www.myjewishlearning.com/the-no ... d-cabbage/
but found the directions pretty bad (stuff like reserving the remaining cabbage but not mentioning "for something else entirely) and basically cooked half of the brisket sauce (drippings from the slow cooker) and incorporated it into some rice and the cabbage not used for the outer wrapping (which I basically pocketed in a smaller leaf and folded the larger leaf around,) and placed the remaining sauce combination into the outer whole. It seems like it would have been better if they merely combined all the liquid and said to reserve half of it for the outer coating (which I incorporated some runny cherry preserves since it wasn't as full of pectin as I expected.)
I'll probably thaw some of the brisket for "Korean Sushi" aka Kimbap.

I seem to have overlooked that Stephen King wrote a book about people finding themselves trapped under a dome, and thinking how dumb the show was, and it becomes even more absurd when you consider that the concept for the Simpsons movie was basically satire, and yet Stephen King had been working on the book before the Simpsons even made the movie; yet in this entire time he didn't consider he should probably have left the concept alone? The only reason the show even exists is because Stephen King's name is attached to it.

Though I completely stopped selling on Amazon for some years now I just got an email about an old item (sold over a decade ago but I never updated for removing the listing) for the N64 game 'The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Collector's Edition' with the message "This product has been identified as a live plant or seed product that is listed outside of the SEEDS_AND_PLANTS or PLANT_SEED categories."
I've known Amazon itself to flag sellers inventory to get them to divulge where they get their inventory to sell, and then an 'Amazon's Choice' category opens up from Amazon while practically shadow-banning their search results, even though they were among the first seller to introduce that product from Chinese manufacturers. I tend to think the hypocrisy of Amazon is similar to Sam Walton publishing his Autobiography 'Made in America,' just before his death, even though he was one of the first people to mass exodus American industry in favor of cheap Chinese goods, while being notorious for deliberately undermining the vendors until they are wiped out unable to compete. TEMU is just sidestepping the cost of selling on Amazon while likely sourcing Ughur slave labor to generate enough heavy-handed consumerism into their app in the hopes that the existing products which tend to all be impulse purchases of overpriced junk, the same as Amazon has also been wiping out book publishers with their Kindle self-published garbage while eliminating the actual book publishers themselves, or if somehow any products are considered to have origins that they can't control and somehow go through the loops that the PIP system justifies in having faked out workflow metrics (which might explain the crappy service, since Amazon thinks they are resolving the problems that exist with their workflow or is similar to the 'Emperor has no Clothes/Hair' while lurking from the shadows of the stock ticker; it would probably hardly matter.
Whether Amazon itself is trying to undermine the sellers that were initially there to build their wealth (while paying Amazon to use their platform until they grew bigger) or were hoping to cull the sellers from the lists they see as detrimental to their other listings (and just finding "creative" ways to see how they could get flagged as a seller until they are eliminated if they somehow don't click enough data points for their metrics which for all I know could have gone full sentient Downs Syndrome and is evolving some extra chromosomes.)

Though I know it's just a random email, it's easy to see why some might assume some sort of synchronicities or coincidence, if not for devices like Alexa and how any data on the wifi network could be sorted into some algorithm to sell more crap, if I knew the wifi from the 3DS couldn't have a chance of being connected either, sans Alexa (because such devices are atrocious in general.)

Re: What are you watching?
Enoch is most likely 2nd temple (meaning it isn't that old. . .)
In a way it reflects the similar influence that became the Gnostics, and may have been the precursor to the Dead Sea sect and the apocalyptic movements (which could just be anti-Roman or Anti-Imperial activism, such as against the Macedonian Greeks, and could have sprung up from Egypt since they were there first.) Enoch was probably like Moses, in which it seems likely he was a combination of various "messages" that existed in ancient antiquity, but which no actual Moses existed. It's similar to wondering how people in Vedic traditions come to the dumb ass conclusions they do in regards to claims of a monkey god coming down to earth (while also--"just maybe"--being the incarnation of Vishnu. . . Because it just makes more sense. . . Of course.)
Though I am interested in the hypothesis of fallen angels and possibility of some kind of supernal alien lifeform, but I think most people in the ancient world would have had a better grasp of the situation and it would have become far more evident (and it's not, as it seems we do far more disservice to the truth over time than how the ancient world actually thought. . . Or didn't think.)
I was just looking back on reasons that this could be happening and learned about the Summerland disaster (basically a new resort that was built using materials that were extremely combustible and not safety tested for fires, resulting in one of the worst fire disasters in modern times) on the Isle of Man, thinking something like that could contribute to the decline in seaside town tourism (though mostly it seems to impact the larger areas of Great Britain, or parts of Ireland) and yet there seems to have been a slight increase following Covid with tourism (though that might just be a temporary trend, since it could be seen as an alternative to Ibiza.)

You can actually see parallels to Popeye which wouldn't be created until the next year as a proto-Popeye the Sailor (then known as Thimble Theatre comic strip, January 17, 1929)
He evolved from a one-off sailor into the main character.

The Oswald the Lucky Rabbit character was originally owned by Universal Pictures and would become the incarnation of Mickey Mouse when Walt Disney wanted to produce his own studio and took the idea created by Ub Iwerks ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ub_Iwerks ) who he would continue to work with. It's kind of ironic that the same thing that inspired Walt Disney to produce his own studio also happened within Disney in the late 1970s (when the company was taken over by Disney's relative who kind of neglected animations in favor of crappy sci-fis he wanted to compete with Star Wars.)

I'm the hardware engineer on Primal Rage 2. I can tell you exactly why it was canceled.
PR2 was the first game Atari Games attempted to design utilizing the Playstation Coin Op hardware. Because of the amount of stop motion graphics, they wanted a hard drive to store graphics instead of ROM because hard drive space is much more cost effective.
I designed the hard drive interface to talk to a PATA hard drive. I designed a cache and cache controller so that buffering could be done on my add in card. It was designed to allow the Sony DMA engine to move data in the background, while the CPU was running main code from cache.
The problem is: The DMA engine had a bug and it couldn't run if the CPU was running. Which mean that the CPU had to stall for graphics to stream from the hard drive. This caused the game to stutter when the CPU and DMA engine conflicted during graphics streaming.
The game was canceled because there seemed to be no way to overcome this issue. At least, that's how I remember it. That may have been the official reason, but I can imagine there were other mitigating circumstances as well.
I just got mine running in my garage. It's nice to see another out there. Is the game play you are showing the actual arcade game or emulated?

I remember this one, though it was kind of a joke to play and overpriced (3 quarters? and it might have allowed you to play 5-10 minutes, if you knew what you were doing.)
