Reorganizing my books. Moved this one to the non-fiction section.
Nope. You?
I’m pretty sure our local ShowBiz only ever used tokens, not quarters. (Maybe yours opened earlier?)
If you had your birthday party there, the birthday kid got to reach one hand into a sack of tokens and pull out as many as they could.
File a radar!
The Athletic | Tiger Woods was arrested for a DUI at 1 o'clock in the afternoon after flipping his SUV. Could he be a future candidate for Secretary of War?
1000× this.
Oh, that’s an interesting observation. I keep thinking I must be missing something, and I’ll bet that’s exactly it. It happens all the time but few ever mention the timelines. So what’s most unusual with Bluesky isn’t the delay itself but that once they announced it, they made the timeline public.
I don't know about the total number of apps, but there'd just be just as many good and useful apps.
A few weeks? Sure. 11 months? I don't know.

I thought my giddiness over this would pass after a couple of days, but I'm still hootin' and hollerin' at the fact that Trump's cabinet -- a few members of which are worth like half a billion bucks or more -- are coming in to work every day wearing $145 dress shoes that don't fit.
Because that’s what you get for $600?
Murphy: I have great sympathy for our soldiers and our military leaders they are being given directions by a senile old man who is losing his mind. And so it's no surprise that this war is going horribly
No chance. Even the 12/13 iPhone Minis didn’t make it. Why in the world would Apple bring back a home button?
