Yeah, good people had good ideas and created the computer link that allows your catalytic converter to function properly. As with all good things, some shithead ruined it and put Subaru's remote start behind a paid app. Shit people ruining good things, tale as old as time.

Yeah, we had a friend with a Toyota Avalon that had a bench front seat. Cruised many blunts in that car as a young man, just three dudes crammed into the front seat of a sedan. We were asking for it, but fortunately avoided it.

I wouldn't say I hyperfixated, but Lord of the Rings was my first in a long line of fantasy crushes 😁

Yeah, I still do it and I'm 38. Reality bites.
All started with Harry Potter for me, what, 1996? 1997? And fantasy is the genre I will always go back to. I've dabble in scifi, espionage, nonsense (House of Leaves), whatever Cormac McCarthy writes, but I always come back to fantasy, because reading relaxes me before bed, and something similar to the world we live in is not relaxing.

Have I been eating cereal wrong?

The whole nutrition facts section feels cherry picked too. Portion sizes are way too small. Every snack food ends up being 140 calories and like 27-31 grams, regardless of what it is. I wish everything was, like, per 10 grams or some other measurement from which I can extrapolate how big a piece of shit I am easily. I don't want 27 grams of cereal, I want 40 because I'm a child trapped in an adult's body, so now I gotta do the cross multiplying thing I learned when I was a kid, and I guess it's good to stay fresh, but I don't want to.
All that being said, calorie counting apps are fantastic for anyone interested in keeping tabs on their bad habits. Not necessarily fixing them, just giving some ammo for when they're depressed and shitting all over themselves.

I remember a friend of mine took the back rows out of his van and put in lawn chairs and bean bags. It was complete chaos, but it was youth.

Femality is stored in the nipples

And not just representing them, but making it user-friendly. Women and men have "proportions" in the mind's eye, and the base models fit those proportions, and then you make the boobs or the dong larger.

Oh, I eyeball it all. That's how I can run 30+ miles a week and still hover right at the edge of overweight.

The Devils is on the list, which is a very loose assemblages of things I'm thinking of reading. They're turning it into a movie or show so it may get some priority.
But yeah, I love his character arcs, which is a term I'll use to avoid spoilers. Definitely not feel good reads.

What kinda phone do you have? Other comments suggest it's for Google rootkit, and so I wonder if the message went out to folks who aren't using an Android phone.
I am also so far from a developer so I have no idea.

Google's AI Overviews Feature Is Telling Users That SCP Horror Fiction Entities Are Real
I Google searched how many times Pete Alonso got hit by a pitch yesterday. There was a thread on Reddit and I needed to refresh my recollection which year he got dinged a bunch. I ended up searching the same query three times for the year 2024 (which ended up being the wrong year, was looking for 2023) and getting three different answers, none of which accurately stating how many times he'd actually been hit by a pitch in 2023. I thought a simple fact would be an easy one.

TIL the network utility "Ping" was written by a single person in an evening in 1983, and he named it after the sound a submarine sonar makes

I was in HS from 2001 to 2005, and it was the wild west. They had computer money galore, but the guys tasked with being in charge of them knew as much as we did, and they just could not compete with the teenage ingenuity. I remember using telnet to just shoot the shit with people all day, and eventually play MUDs in class. And trying to destroy the computer or the network from the inside was just a daily occurrence.
