At least that election season won't last more than 7 weeks. Instead of this insane 2 year marathon the US has.

When I was getting a new line for some relatives, I found that when going through the web checkout process you could select your phone number out of 5 choices before completing the purchase. I thought that was pretty bad design as it shows which numbers are most likely going to be new. It would be pretty easy to scrape that page and create a spam list.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the new number to start receiving spam.

Me too. It's probably been 10 years since I've last played. I have a solid 64 hours played and no achievements completed. Maybe I should check it out when this update comes out. It'll probably feel like a brand new game at this point.

Article about monkeys not being able to complete the works of Shakespeare has this line in it:

Despite its name, the so-called heat death would actually be slow and cold.

Science reporting is such a weird job.

If it were just pretending, Trump wouldn't have left the white house 4 years ago.

I'm personally a fan of Blue People.

Kolanoki? Kokalni? Blue name guy.

It certainly looks that way.

Sure would be interesting if Ukraine were given weapons to attack NK with. Never heard anything about NK declaring war or Ukraine declaring war due to this, but I imagine something has to happen.

Wow, talking about NES Monopoly on a post about airplane seatbelts.

I went down a bit of a rabbit hole on NES Monopoly because I used to play the game and wanted to see if I held the B button. Probably did, but I'm not sure.

Anyway, the world record speedrun of Monopoly takes advantage of the trade mechanics. Trade the CPU mortgaged properties for all of their money and they'll lose the game because you have to pay a 10% fee on any properties traded that were mortgaged. And if you take all their money in the trade they don't have any to pay the penalty.

I thought he'd be unclicking it by context, but with the hand position it must be clicking it together.
