Feeling encouraged, I started with the basics: what hardware is in the Wii, and how does it compare to the hardware used in real Macs from the era.

A "Now This" parody video about a dancing man being considered an essential worker and being celebrated as a hero. The following is a transcript: Amazing: This dancer is considered an 'Essential Worker'. Once a week this taco shop in Boystown, Chicago lays off its staff so this immuno-compromised man can dance. The entire staff is rehired the next day. We got these shots with a Go Pro® (cuts to shots from his view and beneath him). This Monday, the Blue Angels will fly extra low to support this hero's dancing - extremely low... but the Angels said it wasn't low enough, so Chicago bit the bullet - the Blue Angels will be flying BELOW the city this Monday. But it's costing Chicago vital infrastructure. The mayor had this to say: "The drill sounded cool to me". But God didn't like that answer, so he took the sun away. But then LollaPalooza happened, and the economy went UP, and the sun started a GoFundMe. So next time you're walking around during the day, don't forget to thank this name…
