What a strange coincidence, that SNAP benefits were cut the day before election day.

My wife and I agree that Starbucks coffee doesn't taste good. Roasted too long. Tastes burnt and bitter.
I'm told they do that on purpose because their most popular drinks have like 500 calories of sugar added, and you can't taste the coffee flavor if it isn't strong

Never noticed this, but the graphics on that snow below his feet are top notch for a NES game

Found this is storage. Total Annihilation. I played this game obsessively back in 1997. We had several people on a LAN and played multiplayer battles. This was the very first game I learned to mod.

This ad made me laugh out loud. The actress is trying to act like this CRT is heavy, but real CRTs are like twice as heavy as she's making it look. And the weight is like 90% on the screen side. And you would not lift it shoulder high. Ever.

Beware. In Pennsylvania people are receiving election fliers in the mail with false information.
You can't trust newspapers, You can't trust TV or radio, you can't trust ads on YouTube and you can't trust anything mailed to you.
It's not paranoia if they are really out to get you.

I updated my famitone githubs, making it compatible with Dn-Famitracker.
I used Visual Studio and it auto formatted every line, so looking at the changes it looks like hundreds of changes, but really I only changed like 5 lines of code, at lines 520, 580, and 1990

Personally, I really, really don't like the current music software / tools for making SNES game music.
I feel like BRR samples should be separate and able to be dynamically swapped, such as for game sounds (not BG music)
And the music editor should be more user friendly.

Ads for medicines are crazy. Like "ask your dr about this new cholesterol pill. Side effects include spontaneous combustion, bleeding from the eyes, demonic possession, existential dread, nightmares that you can never wake from, and Zombie bladder syndrome"
while showing you happy people on bikes

Sometimes I'll have random thoughts like "maybe I'll start my own podcast" and then I'll remember that I don't have free time and I don't like to talk that much.

Unusually hot this September.
I bet this is going to be another year where it goes 85, 85, 85, 85, 85, 85, 50
with almost no days near 70

idea for a book. a dystopian future where people get microchips in their brains to enhance their work ability, a chip that is a subscription service that becomes more and more expensive, so much that people are unable to pay, and their chips are deactivated and they are unable to work without it.

They should make Pepperoni Bits, like Bacon Bits. It's already a dry meat product that is shelf stable. Want to spice up your potato? Pepperoni Bits.
who's with me?
This is a million $ idea. Guaranteed.

You ever notice, when they make US maps, that they show Hawaii as like 6 islands. But in reality, Hawaii keeps going on for another 1000 miles with 137 islands.

I had an weird idea. A mashup up Garfield and Seinfeld, called Garfeld, where I take old Garfield comix and paste faces of Seinfeld characters over the faces of the cartoon.
George should be Garfield. Jerry is Jon. Cramer is Odie. Elaine is Liz. Newman is the mailman.
I might do 1 just to test it
