Jesus Christ, the U key really looks like a Goatse. For content, I remember having a Speak and Spell or something very similar. It quizzed me on math and spelling and stuff. I'd ask whether these were obsolete, but things like the LeapPad are being produced.

Also, magnesium, once set alight, will burn in just about anything that isn't a noble gas. In oxygen: 2Mg(s) + O₂(g) → 2MgO(s) In water: Mg(s) + H₂O(aq) → MgO(s) + H₂(g) In carbon dioxide: 2Mg(s) + CO₂(g) -> 2MgO(s) + C(s) In nitrogen: 3Mg(s) + N₂(g) → Mg₃N₂ Burning magnesium will even pull the halogens off halon gas. The most effective way to stop a magnesium fire is with dry powders, like sodium chloride, sodium carbonate, and graphite.

Keiya posted:That... is one of the most meaningless statements I've read all day. I mean, somewhere in the range of GBA carts to NeoGeo carts?  Apparently, they're about the size of an old 9V adapter, so roughly as big as the palm of your hand? Maybe less if you have big hands? Pretty sure there are different kinds as well, which makes things more confusing and muddled.

DigitalRaven posted:They're just not trying. Wonga, a payday lender over here, got stung for not mentioning the actual interest rate in one of its ads. To be fair, that rate was 5,853% What legitimate business needs an interest rate of over 30%? Why aren't rates that high literally business-dissolvingly, board-of-directors-imprisoningly illegal? Why do so-called "Christians" tolerate usury to this degree when Jesus would have chased them out of the country with a whip?

Zaphod42 posted:I know the B.Net version of Warcraft 2 (but not the original, I think) would play the soundtrack if you just popped it into a normal CD player, which was really cool. Somehow they worked it out so there weren't even any 'track 1' problems. I know a few other CD-ROM games of the time did it too, as the cool new thing to show off their high quality audio.

Ultimate Mango posted:drat 2001-2012 Mango would have love love loved that. My current car can't play CDs and has a single USB port that works occasionally. And no replaceable head unit. Do you have an AUX port? If you have a USB port, then you probably do, and can use that. If not, just buy one of the short-range MP3-to-radio broadcasters, since I guarantee you have a radio.
