I feel exactly the same way! I was a huge book nerd in the 80s and Frank Herbert was some core sci-fi exposure for me.

I'll never not like Waterworld

Most of the emulators get the sounds wrong. I still have my original 2600 and a TV to run it on. Someday it'll make it back out of storage.

My last drive from Washington to Mississippi was almost non-stop (3 drivers). Still took almost 3 days.

I've driven across the country about 5 times now. You ain't safely doing that in 3 days.

No, "86 the chef special" means 'kitchen is out of chef special.

Yes, your task is to remove it from the menu.

But you aren't 86ing it.

You're marking it as 86'd because the quantity is below minimum threshold (usually zero).

Same meaning in my experience. The patron is kicked out. 86'd is the past tense. 'they have been 86’d'

You no longer have any of that product, ingredient, or in this case customer.

I bit my tongue, thanks
