“Sorry son, little Johnny across the street is willing to go trick or treating for only two pieces of candy per hour, so I’m taking him instead.”

The idea of being able to access the trackball from the front or back really is intriguing.

the_frumious_bandersnatch,

Haven’t kept up with this in a while, but this update looks awesome.

Have they fixed the mechanic that pits you in an infinite loop of sentinels coming after you with no way to escape except to kill them but killing them instantly signals a new wave?

the_frumious_bandersnatch,

One day, the guy on a buffalo was runnin around through the forest…

the_frumious_bandersnatch,

No, charging other people so that you can take advantage of a loophole is called Tax Preparation

the_frumious_bandersnatch,

Corporate needs you to find the difference between this woman and TurboTax.

At this point we’ve reached a complete and utter death of euphemism around anything regarding Trump.

All attempts to “bring to light” any horrible thing Trump has factually committed will be met by his followers with, “Well that’s actually a good thing.” And any politician trying to ride his wake will have to go along with it.

How soon until we start hearing “Look, we have to view Hitler with some nuance” from the Senate podium.

Yep, and because we know Democrats won’t have the stomach for, the next time there’s a Republican VP on Jan 6th, they will use this ruling to announce that the Democratic winner is an insurrectionist and therefore disqualified and the same people sitting on the bench will rule that he’s right.

You might try to critique this joke with a fine-tooth comb, but then you’d just be splitting hairs.

What games do you recommend for my girlfriend?

My girlfriend has never really gamed. But she’s now forced to move less than she would like to (health problem) and she’s getting bored. I was thinking of introducing her to a game or two that we could play together. She’s not the real action game type, and seeing as she has no experience with controller/mouse and keyboard...

the_frumious_bandersnatch,

Return of the Obra Dinn is short but a great puzzle game for keeping track of things.

the_frumious_bandersnatch,

But then they’d have to contend with the idea that every time someone enters a transport they die.

the_frumious_bandersnatch,

There’s podcasts like Sleep With Me that occupy the same place as white noise.

the_frumious_bandersnatch,

Yep. Provel is to Mozzarella what American is to Cheddar, and we’re going to shred that on top of a saltine and bake it for you? No thanks.

the_frumious_bandersnatch,

True, it’s obvious to anyone paying attention that this was always the point, but it is notable whenever we witness yet another death of a euphemism

the_frumious_bandersnatch,

Who is this message even for? Not the workers obviously. Does it instill the investors with confidence? “Production is so poorly managed and staffed that we have to rely on people working overtime.” Does it increase demand? “Come buy these vehicles assembled by overworked, sleep-deprived line workers, hope it works out if you get in an wreck!” It’s entirely for his own ego.

the_frumious_bandersnatch,

I had it during the beta. Not bad, though it’s pretty heavy handed with the Jetbrains sales pitches after almost every answer.

Their integration with the Git interface was nice though, having auto-generated commit messages based on its evaluation of the changeset is so convenient.

the_frumious_bandersnatch,

Station 11 on Max is a thoughtful, heartfelt, and artistic post apocalypse show. Very different from the standard fair.

It’s really too bad Kroger discontinued “The Fizzicist”.

the_frumious_bandersnatch,

Just before the vote was about to begin, Rep. Max Miller of Ohio, one of Santos’ Republican colleagues, sent an email to the full Republican conference, writing that he and his mother were victims of credit card fraud tied to Santos’ campaign and that he would be voting to remove Santos.

“Neither my Mother nor I approved these charges or were aware of them,” Miller wrote in the email obtained by NPR. “We have spent tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees in the resulting follow up.”

It’s literally because it was starting to affect them personally.

It looks like ynab does do this now. I remember when it was just software on your computer, but it’s a full cloud app now (complete with $15/month price tag).

I’m on the hunt for a new solution, too. I may try it.

the_frumious_bandersnatch,

I’m surprised Dems decided to join in ousting him instead of voting present and letting him stay. But I guess watching GOP flail in another month-long speaker election can only help contrast them.

the_frumious_bandersnatch,

This stopgap bill would absolutely have enough votes to pass in the House and the only reason McCarthy won’t bring it to a vote is because the hard liners would motion to vacate the speakership. So the US will be plunged into chaos all because one guy doesn’t want to lose his title. Cool democracy.
