I mod a worryingly growing list of communities. Ask away if you have any questions or issues with any of the communities.
I also run the hobby and nerd interest website scratch-that.org.
The X-Box 360 takes it for me as an overall winner. It had a great and expansive library of games, and aside the red ring of death (I never got one) it just worked.
I’d almost put the N64 as a second place contender because it has so many great games, but that controller has never been good. It might be visually iconic but it’s so clunky. 3rd part controllers exist now that are more shaped for human hands and I am baffled why Nintendo didn’t do that from the start.
XB360 had a great controller, great library, and graphics that still hold up. What more do you need?
“We do not condition interviews on acceptance of these questions, and hosts are always free to ask the questions they think will best inform their listeners,” the Biden campaign told ABC News on Saturday.

I was responding to your idea that the ammo might be less secure depending on where it is located. That’s true, but the machine itself isn’t any more unsecure than the current way ammo is stored for sale. If the machine is located in the same kinds of places as ammo is currently sold, I don’t see an inherent issue.
If it’s in the same locations that ammo is currently sold in, then the machine itself seems no more insecure. I suppose if a current shelf full on ammo is left on the street outside a 7-11, the ammo would also disappear.
I believe it is the part where it scans the person’s face to see if it matches the ID that is being called AI. I don’t know if that meets the technical definition or not, but that’s what they marketing is calling AI here.
Considering ammo is currently sold by sitting openly on shelves, or maybe locked behind a plexiglass shield with the same kind of security lock used to guard shampoo, I don’t see how the vending machine is easier to steal from.
It used to say that right on the card.
Is your premise that robbers will show up to a store with guns but no ammo, rip off the vending machine for ammo, and then rob the store?
The prices are probably terrible too.
For reasons, there are laws against selling “handgun ammunition” to people under 21. 18-21 year olds can buy rifle ammunition.
So the vending machine takes ID and scans the person to see if they match the photo.
It’s not ideal, but it’s not an impossible hinderance. The picture has a low power variable scope. At magnified levels, the front sight post becomes a thin shadow in the lower half. Noticeable but doesn’t impact much. At 1x magnification the front sight post does reach to where the reticle is, but the target area is still viewable.
With an LPVO the front sight post isn’t usable since the 1x setting isn’t “true 1x” but has a tiny amount of distortion, however with a red dot, the front sight post is still crisp, which means that if the dot dies it is easy to look through the optic and use the front sight.
When shooting with both eyes open for close range with an optic you get so much information from both eyes that the blockage by the post is essentially edited out by your brain.
The standard service issue M16 and M4s have/had fixed front sight posts and have been issued with optics for decades.

Within this paperwork there is a fee schedule of what will happen if they impede my rights in any way.
“I do not consent to this fee schedule.”
They keep intensely checking my stuffed triceratops. Triclor is a good boy and they need to stop picking on him.
What’s surreal is being in a security line that is so backed up that the TSA on duty decide to tell people to keep their shoes on, and they open up the old fashioned metal detector to supplement the body scanner just to get people through faster.
Straight up confirmation that none of what they do matters.
