As someone who worked on The Matrix and saw first hand the insane amount of laborious, meticulous effort that went into to creating bullet time for like two shots, it will never stop being funny that it’s just a button now.
At 9:18, 3rd period of the Finland-Switzerland women's ice hockey QF game, the ice crew came to clean the ice during a pause

One of my company’s major clients is a sports-related website, and last night the traffic peaked at almost 900,000 hits per minute. I thought I’d learn a lot about tennis on this project, but instead I learned a lot about caching

Brings to mind cold reading; someone will pay a psychic and be wowed by their insight, when they could've just asked a friend and gotten better insight for free

hey remember when a bunch of middle-aged drunk korean lawmakers climbed the locked gates to the national assembly to hold an emergency session after the president gave illegal orders to the military, all of which ended with said president being sentenced to prison

Saw Rebecca Black at The Forum last night, and the vibe was immaculate. She was stoked because it's the biggest solo headline show she's ever had 🥹
& dunno what it is about The Forum, but every show I've seen there, the whole audience has been super happy & hyped without being aggressive, it's nice
