In fact, it didn’t.

Hoverboards actually do exist. And for bonus points, so do speeder bikes. You probably already know about real-life jetpacks.

I wish I could live another 100 years to see better optimized versions of them.

Went to turn it off.

Apparently I already did. Marvelous.

Yes.

Which is odd because, since getting a keychain pedometer I actually don’t keep it in my pocket or take it most places.

I wish I’d married a Canadian in 2004 when the getting was good, haha.

I even speak some French.

In 2016 there were tens of million of Americans who couldn’t absorb a sudden $400 expense without going further into debt.

That number’s probably grown significantly since.

I’m glad you had the means to make it out.

The vast majority of Americans, sadly, do not.

Around 14 days out of the whole year they have a pretty good football team.

That’s it.

Yes.

Either they’ve been identified or it’s an animal with mange. For fun, go compare drawings of the Dover Demon with featherless owls, for instance.

Don’t go searching for hairless bears, though. They’re nightmare fuel.

I know it doesn’t matter, but after all I’ve read about Nintendo and the Switch 2 in the last year?

Fuck 'em. I’m going to get a Steam Deck or a Lenovo handheld, and I’ll just enjoy the Nintendo products I already have. I’m not spending a small fortune on a console that they can brick remotely, or force me to buy a $50 proprietary charger for, or a “virtual game cartridge”.

Fuck all of that bullshit.

Turn it off when you’re not using it. Save on energy.

This app sounds exceedingly useful to me.

Always appreciate when people offer their opinion with a YT video. I’m definitely going to watch it. Thank you.

Not sure if he pushed the original measure but he was definitely instrumental in the compromise they attempted to insert into it.

Apologies.

Every time I mention I had a run-in with a homeless person, some self-righteous SJW discounts my experience and infers that I must have been in the wrong, though I was just sitting on a bus minding my own business on the way to work. My city has fare-free buses, so we end up having a lot of close encounters with untreated homeless people. (Also why I carry a stun-gun instead of mace, so if I have to use it there’s no chance of friendly fire.)

So I figured you were another one here to cast aspersions, and I have a short fuse with it for sure. My mistake.

That vote tally, though.

Go judge someone else. It wasn’t my decision to turn whole cities into mental institutions. It was Ronald Reagan’s.

I tested it on myself.

It works fine.

My pocket stun gun was $19.99. Decided I needed a defense mechanism I could conceal after an encounter with a scary aggressive homeless man.

Also has a flashlight.

Window film is so glorious. I have my bedroom windows blacked out with it, easier to sleep, and yes, always cool temperatures in there.
