I heard a story about an octopus escaping into a library and was found fumbling through the books.
I can only imagine if it comprehended what it was looking at… “Oh, crap, THAT’S what they use ink for!”

And they do all that with a CRIMINALLY short lifespan. 😟

“For example, the Common Octopus, Mimic Octopus, and Blue-Ringed Octopus live for around 12 – 18 months whereas the Giant Pacific Octopus can have a lifespan of 3-5 years!”

I bought chicken salad, ate some, and realized that there was no chicken in it and returned it.
“Your chicken salad is just ‘salad’.”
They apologized and refunded it.

According to the manual, there are 2 USB ports, a USB A port for power and a USB C port for media.

Have you tried the other port?
- Comment on if you're offered a position you can use to advance your career but it involves people without boundaries, do you tell your maybe-future-to-be manager you don't want to work with those people? 1 week ago:
I get it, I’m the introvert too, but it helps to understand where they are coming from…
For them, these inane conversations are likely their pressure/stress release. Medical gigs can be pretty high pressure and everyone reacts to that differently.
I’ve only witnessed it from the patient side, but I get where it’s coming from.
When I had my first heart attack, it was just after Thanksgiving and the cardiac ward was decorated for Thanksgiving. They had these “Guess the heart rythm” charts made out of tinsel, and I got to see them all as I walked the ward after surgery.
(Bonus, immediately after open heart surgery they make you get up and walk around multiple times a day.)
The chart right by the nurses station? I wish I had taken a photo of it… tinsel flatline ending in an angel. LOL.

- Comment on PS6 and next Xbox console are both aiming for 2027 release, separate reports claim | VGC 4 weeks ago:
Good luck with the tarriffs…
The last time a console generation lined up with a giant economic crisis we got the Kinect and PlayStation Move instead and a proper console release was delayed until 2013.
I could see this being pushed to 2030, easy, if it happens at all.

“The Wilderness Doesn’t Give a Shit About You”
People forget that #1 fact even in states that aren’t Alaska.
I remember, years ago, this tech writer driving with his family through Oregon. They went down the wrong road in winter because the GPS told him to and it damn near killed all of them.

- Comment on Criterion’s “The Wes Anderson Archive” is the Blu-ray Box Set of the Year 5 weeks ago:
I’ve been picking these up one at a time as they come out, Isle of Dogs and French Dispatch are the latest two.
While both films are a delight, I found the bonus material on French Dispatch a little tiring. Not so on Isle of Dogs, the whole production is great start to finish!
Asteroid City and Phoenecian Scheme both have normal non-Criterion releases.

Yeah, I should have specified, any species of owl that migrates from Europe to America… Not sure what that image is on about. Everything seems wrong.
- Comment on Can someone fact check this 5 weeks ago:
For starters, the average owl doesn’t weigh 16 pounds, that’s immediately proven false with a simple Google search. The smallest is an ounce, the largest just over 9 pounds.
On top of that, I can’t find any species that migrates from Europe to America…
So false from the jump.

Even if you make an excellent game that makes money you can STILL be on the chopping block. See Hi Fi Rush. 😟
- Comment on The Video-Game Industry Has a Problem: There Are Too Many Games 1 month ago:
“Of the 1,431 games released last year that garnered more than 500 reviews — an indication that they were played by at least a few thousand people — more than 260 were rated positively by 90% or more of the players. More than 800 scored 80% or better.”
Problem - You can’t trust Steam reviews. Steam users will give top ratings to “Click the Duck”.
