Do you have an app that does anything at a specific time or a fixed interval eg weekly? Eg. Remind you to go for a run, or prompts you to log an activity like timesheets?

Particularly any new apps or ones that need to access system time and/or date?

*remaining brain cells. And they were already a threatened species at birth.

Farking lol. It’s not even minimal effort, they’ve gone into the red and we’re now seeing negative effort. Every action now detracts.

And that’s how we found out the world was round. You walk away from your sworn enemy so far that you wind up back where they’re standing.

Or you know, stopped clocks… blah

A hotel in a mining town, one of a few contractors stay at when they can’t get accommodation on site. Mining town = lots of alcohol abuse = occasional fights and violence. They’re never well-appointed places, people always come and go with filthy clothes and boots from site so there’s a level of dirt that could never be cleaned. Didn’t care too much about that if the sheets and towels were clean, but the room was on the outside facing the main road and the door frame was recently (and very poorly) repaired after someone very clearly had booted the door in. Slept with the tool bag open by the bed in case the owner of said boots didn’t get the message that the prior occupant had left town.

I too love Good Will Hunting

I’m thinking as well that there’d have to be a significant number of crashes where it’s just the driver in the car (also a chunk of those where there isn’t another car involved). I’d be interested in knowing the # of occupants, and single vehicle stats given Waymo is removing the driver from that equation. I’m not sure it would change anything and I don’t think the data is being misrepresented - just curious if it would inform my perspective at all.

Comparing Waymo to taxi/uber services would be a direct comparison I’d like to see.

I think Mallrats is very in this vein - just more PG than Clerks.

But you do have Mt Hood and the Columbia River and the coastline to console you. 😍

Yeah, Russian flavoured consequences for the muskrat.

It holds up. Geena Davis is a straight up bad-ass boss mutha fucka!

Shades of The Martian are coming to mind for me.

Jeeze, I’m an outlier - my first thought was the beautiful spiral of a pine cone. Anything that has the Fibonacci spiral, but picking up a pine cone from a quiet, rain-soaked forest path where every footstep is cushioned by fallen needles and leaves. There are many types of cones, but the hard ones that have spread all their seeds form the most beautiful and uniform spirals. To a non-believer, it feels like one of the greatest arguments for the existence of an intelligent higher power

Last episode of The Simpsons Season 9

I’ve been thinking and nothing really comes to mind. Maybe a big bird is going to land on him… or he’ll be shat on by a bird. Hit by a bird, a large bird will pass overhead…

Did she tell him how to get to Sesame Street?!

I got nothin!!

Oh my fucking, fuck. Despicable, disgusting, fucking inhumane… just an overwhelmingly morally bankrupt synaptic glitch for which the incepting brain should self-destruct by default. Any human who could seriously entertain this concept without physical recoil and abject horror, should be removed from any circumstances now, or in future, where they may have even a modicum of influence over the wellbeing, livelihood, education, security, or happiness of a fellow living being.

I had to do a double take. I thought your comment might have had an issue with keming…

That’s cool buddy, thanks for checking it out. I knew about the mitre and it seems like the popes have the same type of regalia/ornamental discretion as the US President does in many official aesthetic choices. I can’t help but think of the practicality that is always behind any kind of pomp and ceremony like this. There’s always some guy called Marty whose Sister went to school with a guy who calls in a favour to get him a job doing something like holding the pope’s “wee willy winky” on official outings when he has to take a whizz, because the frock and accessories prohibit practical access solo.

The machinery behind the magic, the support staff behind the spectacle… Gladys’s Pips!

How many of those hats you reckon he has? Do they make a new one for each new pope? Reckon there is like a closet with one of each size that he tries on and then has like three of them made in his size? Like the first appearance is in the demo/loaner model - and asap thereafter his custom one(s) gets made? I wonder who the papal milliner is? Do they also do the Swiss guard uniforms? I had no idea how many logistical questions I had about all this! 🤔

His reasoning was that a country after a disaster needs its economy to stabilise as rapidly as possible. Yes, he gets a good deal, but he’s also going at a time when local businesses need to trade, people need life to return to normal (as much as possible). Recovering from a tragedy can be helped by the show of faith and confidence of visitors who still want to experience your homeland and all it has to offer. That solidarity is the same concept Princess Diana displayed in her physical embracing of the AIDS community in a time of fear, ignorance, misinformation, and sadness. My take is that reaching out at a time when people feel alone and unwanted is always a kind gesture.
