  1. I noticed that the app is a little wonky when first powering up, and will show me standing 20 yards off one way or the other. I have been using this to get credit for hexes that I couldn't get to without trespassing. Stand by the neighbor's fence, turn it on, and zing I'm in their back yard or maybe in their house. It will be mine it will be mine it will be mine mine mine.
  2. Don't even get me started about most folks' sword-and-shield technique these days.
  3. It's difficult for your balls to drop if you sit around clenched up in front of a spit-speckled mictophone.
  4. A giant pumpkinhead ain't diverse?
  5. I'm guessing that 50% of all adults couldn't point towards the north without digital assistance.
  6. Reminds me of when I was the butt of generational humor-- some old(er) guys in the Smokies speculated that I knew nothing about churning butter. In fact I did not, yet remained psychologically unwounded. I am bewildered by ute's inability to pick up a coin until I remember that it's been the 90s since I grabbed a few quarters before I'd walk out the door. The hell am I gonna buy with 50 cents these days? When they first created US coinage, a cent was worth about a damn dollar now. It'll all either go away at some point, like snuff boxes and boot knives, or else get changed to something useful, like Euro coins or those big 50 Peso coins you could sling like throwing stars. We must all help each other. For example, once my very young Javascript instructor needed to mail a physical letter, and had no idea how to do it. The rest of the class got quiet. Finally, up stepped the Grey Wolf, me, and I walked him through it patiently, like he did with my fumbling programs. Circle of life.
  7. The true injustice for Kirk is that he also got snubbed by ROTC and Officer Candidate School. Hell, they even rejected his offer to serve as an enlisted man. Shocking. Why would our country do this to him.
  8. Bunch of arrogant MFs up in here gonna be shocked once I'm proven right about the weird cavern formations.
  9. That dude is way more Taco Bell than Mexican.
  10. I'll do art shows where the local municipality asks for their sales tax cut inside an envelope. I generally pay mine by check. My 20-something-year-old friends probably don't own any checks, so oddly enough they will stuff the envelope with not only cash, but enough coins to turn the thing into a prison bludgeon. I wonder where they even get coins, and do they sit there figuring out what each one is worth?
  11. So people who watch TikTok videos and who also know how to write a check... what is that, a pool of maybe 12 suspects?
  12. that's what you get for going lowest bidder with the cloaking device.
  13. We need to hire some of those Ukrainian drone-boats and their operators, then put out a notice that we think attacks on Russian subs are just icky.
  14. Dan Bongino is that beady-eyed stuffed monkey doll you win at the ring toss at the fair and you take it home and at night you think you hear a rat scuttling past your door but when you get up to check everything seems normal but right before you turn the light off again you notice that the monkey doll is in a different place from where you put it. Then when you go back to the fairgrounds, you see that it's an empty field, not a trace of sawdust, just a wrought iron fence in one corner enclosing an overgrown graveyard.
  15. Can we cut to the chase and figure out which bribes Tommy Tuberville took?
  16. As the King of Spain commands, there go I.
  17. Yesterday after dark, when I'd normally be lounging around like Jabba the Hutt, I went out and claimed my first conquest. A nice rectangle like starting out in that old Tron motorcycle video game. My plan today is to add another "box" to the north, touching on the nearest rival exploration. I should be able to add hexes to already-explored streets by walking on alternate sides of the streets. I have to remember to set my phone so it doesn't go into sleep mode. I notice people have cheated and have used the app while driving, you can tell by how the paths are disconnected dots instead of braided hexes.
  18. OK, my ass needs some exercise, I signed up. Let's hope it's digital crackrock. It's terra incognita for about a mile around my house. It shall be MINE.
  19. Sometimes you just gotta say fuckit.
  20. Tha mi gu dòigheil! Up to about Day 412 on Duolingo. I have obtained spousal and community (her friends and sister) approval to trek to Scotland and take a longer course. Or maybe to Nova Scotia, they have a school there as well. Actually seems easier to get to Scotland. About a week ago I started mixing in a little Dutch between Gaelic lessons after hearing a linguist say that he studies Dutch because it's Silly English. What I've seen so far is 3/4 interchangeable with English. Made me realize that my cousin's Dutch husband isn't really speaking English, he just pops in the occasional English word and otherwise putters along in Dutch. I still close out every session going back to Gaelic.
  21. Reminds me of the first time I heard the word "slurry."
  22. What? Too good for Palermo?
  23. Ukraine needs to capture Murmansk, then start working their way south from there.
