The cartridges were mostly for extra ram. Some arcade ports required them, though they usually came with the cartridge if they did.

Reply to comment by Cycleguy57 in eli5 why ancient historical buildings haven’t been kept up? Why are buildings like the Parthenon and the Colosseum in such disrepair? Greece and Rome/Italy have existed the entire time? by PickledSpace56
The frustrating thing is that the casings on the pyramids survived for thousands of years, until the relatively recent middle ages, when the ruler of Cairo, Salahadeen's son, ordered that the pyramids be torn down. He wasn't successful, obviously, but we no longer get to experience the pyramids as they were created

Almost all of these structures were used as a source of building materials. The most obvious is the marble cladding from the exterior, and bronze ceiling from the portico of the Pantheon. The marble cladding was stripped by lime burners in the middle ages, and the bronze ceiling from the portico was stripped and melted down by Pope Urban VIII in the 1600s. The main temple of the Parthenon complex was largely intact until 1687, when the gunpowder magazine stored there by the Ottomans was hit by cannon fire from the Venetian Navy and exploded.

Reply to comment by AssPennies in Leaked document shows Amazon's flawed job-posting process led to 'over-hiring,' with one team listing 3 times more openings than approved for by marketrent
I never applied, but I had Amazon recruiters hitting me up from my LinkedIn profile, sometimes three recruiters for the same position within a few weeks. I told them I wouldn't work for Amazon, since it was evil, they agreed, but then all called me again a month later with no memory of the previous contact.

Alcohol percentage labeling is kinda BS. I've had so many beers in the last few years that were labeled at 8% or so, but from mouth feel tasted more in the 11-14% range.

WB has a thing about reserving Batman for films. That's how we've had Birds of Prey, Gotham, Pennyworth, The Penguin, and now this steaming pile.

I was looking to upgrade my CPU and mobo, but it turns out ASUS updated my b350 to run everything AM4, so I picked up a 5700x on sale. That should last another 4 years.

He went off a giant cliff, but Teslas are bottom heavy and have a strong roof structure and many airbags. I doubt he was thinking about an explosion.

I didn't like Tehanu when it came out, but I realized it was because at 16 I just didn't have enough context. I read the Earthsea books to my daughter recently, and now finally in my late '40s it all had context and resonance I couldn't see at 16.

Soju is usually fairly nasty, and the listed ABV% is a dirty lie, with most being around 20% in reality.

There were other Philadelphias. I think Philadelphia PA is named after the Greek/Roman city now named Alasehir in Turkey, or what's now Amman Jordan.

Tarkovsky can be hard. I love Stalker, it's some kind of hypnotic cinematic bliss for me, but I just couldn't stay focused on Tarkovsky's Solaris and I've never finished it.

Yes, they buy parts from Bosch and Continental, just like every other manufacturer, but part of how Tesla has been able to maintain cost control is through vertical integration. Most of the parts for Fremont built cars are made within a few miles of the Fremont plant, and have been since it was making Tacomas and Vibes as NUMMI.

You're either disingenuous or low information. US built Teslas are made almost entirely using domestic parts. I have a neighbor who works in the stamping department in Fremont, and he's making parts there, not unboxing shit from China.
