On chess, there is a moment in 2001: a Space Odyssey wherein HAL and Frank Poole are playing chess. A more attentive person than me pointed out HAL cheated. I paused and looked at the board forever. I almost gave up. I thought I would never figure it out. Finally figured it out! I have never felt so smart for wasting so much time.

I couldn’t resist.

Part of the ritual of buying a new Switch game for me is licking it. More difficult for digital downloads, but I was determined and found a way.

I am using and loving Solve by Pomegranate Apps. Multiple workspaces and advanced functions available a swipe away. It doesn’t seem to be available anymore, and it looked like the company was hitting hard times when they dumped things like Trump quotes and other shit apps into the store.

They’re so dreamy. Goo-goo eyes

“How appropriate. You fight like a cow!”

Of course, it just reminded me a little of the “a vote for Bart is a vote for anarchy” gag.

Or force them to admit they are selling it for real without all the license mumbo jumbo. They have always known what “buy now” buttons were meant to lead you to believe. And — in my humble opinion — you aren’t wrong for believing that; they are.

Would that not be trademark infringement, if anything?

You now have me wondering if the killer tomatoes in Attack of the Killer Tomatoes are venomous.

2001: A Space Odyssey

The person who had your number previously used WhatsApp. Maybe they are still using that number for WhatsApp.

Biblically accurate Iron Man.

It’s a little weird that syphilis and chlamydia are way more euphonic than they ought to be. They just roll off the tongue and feel so good to say.

His Hitler hairdo is making me feel ill.

I have been happily using OsmAnd while traveling outside my coverage area. Anybody have pros or cons of each of these? I just downloaded this one and didn’t really like that it automatically began downloading 250 megabytes of my localish region. In some places that would eat up my entire data package. I would rather it asked.
