The Elmdor-Appreciation-Out - Number of practitioners: one.

[Jackhammer]

Selling my house in Key Largo to rent a house in Miami where I don't have to shoot crackhead thieves for stealing from me and trespassing turned out to be better move than I thought it would be, landlord likes my style and that I help him with repairs, plumbing and as electrician. I'm self sufficient and he wants me to stick around as a tenant so he lowered my rent 20% because his previous tenants were destructive and needed constant repair so he thanks me often for the difference.

At least you can shoot burglars in the US. Here in the UK you can get jailed for defending your home from thieves.

The Hobbit 1977
The Lord of the Rings 1978
The Return of the King 1980

Usual stuff that gets thrown in a drawer and forgotten about, with one exception, I received two Switch eShop cards worth £30

It's pretty much he same here, using "excessive" force to defend yourself means you'll get hit with manslaughter as a minimum.
Excessive translates as being anything greater that what is being used against you.
Like;
The attacker has a small knife and you use a gun to kill him.
The attacker is unarmed and you use any sort of weapon (even improvised like kitchen implements or tools like a screwdriver) to kill him.

You can get away with using a bat or something to defend yourself, but you really need to try to incapacitate and not kill your assailant.
This can be difficult if the attacker is high on methamphetamines... they usually just keep coming at you if they're still conscious.

I imagine it's gotten worse in the decades since .

Stand Your Ground Florida, pretty Wild West and better to move away from people you're going to shoot because it's shoot to kill or don't shoot. Dead people can't testify or make excuses for stealing or trespassing with a sleezy lawyer saying they're the victim in court.

Stand your Ground laws are useful for when dealing when thieves. So living in the U.S. isn't all bad.

"I'm still alive." ~ Eddie Vedder

Best gift and all else is bonus.

Ray Kurzweil's life work is recreating the dead with all their memories and personality intact. Eddie Vedder should be brought back after he passes away to sing about being alive.

is that readily available?

Genesis has the CPU power to handle a Minecraft style game, SNES has better 3D processing and would probably have better depth of field immersion. I'm a Sega fanboy and at any rate like to see hacks and homebrew for Genesis/Megadrive.

I was thinking similar. I like seeing hombrew games on old consoles myself too. recently I tried out the minecraft hombrew for GBA called minicraft it's okay but could have used a building feature.

There should be a link on the youtube page.

Since Ray Kurzweil wants to recreate the dead with memories and personality restored intact, the tomb of Gilgamesh was discovered and bringing him back using his DNA would be as epic as he was. His only fear and only thing he could not defeat was death, bringing him back would fulfill his greatest quest and write a new chapter in the Epic of Gilgamesh picking up where it left off having achieved his goal.
