What it means now is that my response goes like this:

"Is this pinball competition sanctioned? Which entity? Oh, IFPA? Sorry, can't do this one."

Well, found a bug in Star Wars: Fall of the Empire v0.90 code
If the Luke shot successfully completes a (non-Luke) character mode, but then immediately starts the Luke mode, none of the shots count in Luke mode, and you can never complete Luke in the mode status lights. It bricks the game.

Pesto gnocchi with sausage is my go-to dinner meal when I’m under tight timelines. I can get it on the table in just about 10 minutes.

The 2026 economy is copying and pasting negotiation scripts into Verizon’s chat bot so I can save $25/month on my Fios internet service.

What are we even doing?? 🤦‍♂️

<sarcasm> is she also one of those recipe website bloggers?
Anthropic just took a big swipe at OpenAI's decision to put ads in ChatGPT. Anthropic is airing ads mocking ChatGPT ads during the Super Bowl, and they're hilarious 😅 Anthropic is also committing to no ads in Claude www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

Still lots of snow out front, but the pinball is hot inside Hometown Arcade 🤓
(Also, butter chicken is in the crockpot for dinner 😉)

It's so refreshing to see an article that takes all sides into consideration, reaches out to everyone for comment, and uses as much information as possible.
How a trans woman's removal from a restroom tore the world of competitive pinball apart
Pinball is one of the most welcoming sports for trans players. But after a confrontation at an arcade last fall, pinball’s governing group is struggling to rebuild trust.

So CFP Board just voted to give themselves a 33% hike in revenue by increasing CE requirements for all mark holders?
In this economy? 👀

Here’s a different perspective of Hometown Arcade where I play in the weekly NEPL league. We got some snow! #pinball

Thanks for nothing, MassDOT 😡
January 26, 2026 at 9:11 PM
Yeah… it’s going to take at least two hours to dig out from all that snow.
January 26, 2026 at 12:47 PM
Can you even tell I took 6” of snow off the driveway with the snowblower?? 😯

This calls for some refreshments 🍺

Today I learned about limit stops in bathtub faucets. The hot water wasn’t coming out very hot, and with the winter temperatures, baths were getting cold very quickly.
Not any more! 🔥😈🔥

So like, anyone with the Waze app can use it to report real-time locations of, say… 😉 roadkill hazards 😉, and everyone will quickly learn what that REALLY means.
I just sayin’
Half the street corners around here have people--from every walk of life, including republicans--standing guard to watch for suspicious vehicles, which are reported to a robust and entirely decentralized network that tracks ICE vehicles and mobilizes responders.

Tuesday is NEPL league night, so I have an entree prepared ahead on time to bake while I’m gone.
I really need to recover from last week’s rough 10 point score. None of that again!

You think it’s mere coincidence that Crazy Bus Driver has broken through the din of the internet?

What if it’s synchronicity for current world events??
