I don’t mind the pop up as much as I mind it being a pop up that tells you to go to another menu to change the setting. Why not just put the setting in the pop up?

Take Me Out - Franz Ferdinand

Weird Al is a massive source of inspiration for me. The guy has been doing nothing but making whacky music through decades of music trends coming and going and never missed the mark.

From a really young age, I appreciated that not everyone has to take everything so seriously.

This one will still be playable offline after the fact, so its offer is way better than the games that are the focus of the Stop Killing Games movement. The games they’re targeting are completely unplayable after being killed.

This right here is what defensive driving is supposed to look like. If you have the option to distance yourself from the other cars on the road, that’s always best.

It baffles me seeing a group of cars on the road all bunched up with less than a second between them going 75. If there’s a hazard on the road that the cars behind don’t see, they’re all going to crash into each other when the guy in front slams his brakes.

Driving is all about awareness and predicting what others might do. I just assume at any point, anyone could need to suddenly brake hard. Plan accordingly and position yourself defensively.

I was just thinking about how I didn’t have enough chat options in this day and age. My phone just doesn’t have enough of them, I tell ya.

Also The Program on Netflix. It’s a really well put together documentary made by one of the students at a similar school.

I watch this every time it’s posted. Might be my favorite from them.

There’s a movie called Unhinged where someone honks for too long at Russell Crowe’s character and the rest of the movie is him angrily chasing the main character. It’s absolutely hilariously unrealistic and it’s super fun to laugh at.

Cars and computers.

Cars and racing fascinate me because the engineering that goes into making a car handle well at high speed is insanely intricate. Plus track design can have a massive effect on a race. There’s just so much to think about and so many different cars and disciplines out there that it’s pretty much endless.

Similarly, computers have so much to learn about them. I could learn about them 24/7 my whole life and still not know everything about them. They’re a massive testament to human ingenuity and are such a core part of society, I’m glad I’m lucky enough to be alive at this point in technology.

NFS Hot Pursuit 2 has some tracks from Hot Action Cop that has basically unintelligible lyrics. Listening to the originals, they’re raunchy as hell. One of them was even used as intro music.

This is just so out of touch. Windows by far has a worse situation for dialogs, errors, and annoyances. Not to mention the ads. What are they thinking?

Relevant xkcd

Just watched Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent. It’s 140% more Nick Cage per Nick Cage than any other film.

I wonder what part they canceled. They’ve been doing construction on I-25 adding an express toll lane for the last year in NoCo. Maybe they’re referring to the fact that there’s bus stops along the way that will use said express lane?

This has the vibe of the Sims 2 voice that would leave for work saying “Shy-bye”.

I never watched this one back when it was new. Does it hold up at all?

I think about how many times things like this happen to individuals that don’t have the weight to warrant an article where their entire collection of online data just gets wiped out and Google responds with: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Don’t trust your data to the cloud, folks.

Somewhat surprisingly, I’m not able to quickly find someone doing it on YouTube, but it’s the puzzle where there’s a cube propping open a wall panel where Ratman was. There’s several cameras in there. If you take all of the cameras and your cube, you can basically make some janky stairs and climb your way up to the next section.
