You’re welcome.
(I say as if there was anything useful in any of my deleted Reddit comments)

I hate those “find every body orifice” captchas. Does an earlobe count as an ear? Does a Mercedes C-class count, since they’re exclusively driven by assholes?
- Comment on Quack Quack bitch 3 days ago:
I have a cat that would stop at nothing to get at any birds in my house. Feathered toys don’t last long and she has a long standing feud with neighborhood crows (who like to taunt her from the yard).
She’s an indoor cat and birds are outside friends - the balance must be maintained!

Sphincter based age verification legislation is probably already working its way through several US states and Australia by now.
- Comment on ahoy 4 days ago:
Books are pretty straight forward. And based on what I see out on the high seas, video can’t be that much harder.

GOT EM!

Unless you’re specifically talking about their digital movie, music, book, or game services.

If that’s amazon, what does “Piracy” from Spirit Halloween look like?
- Comment on Was Pedro Pascal objectively "in everything"? 4 days ago:
I don’t have any numbers.
Personally I didn’t notice the attitude shift about him until the Mandalorian movie came out and it was obvious that he was probably on set for 2 hours for that top billing role, while doubles were wearing the armor in every scene but one. It, to me, seems like one part of a growing frustration with current blockbuster movies (the kind that really like to cast Pascal). Everything is green screen, stories are recycled, its all about marketing, and now the actors aren’t even there half the time any more.
- Comment on Volkswa what now? 5 days ago:
I never noticed before how the center of the VW logo looks a bit like the taint of a person with pointy butt cheeks.
- Comment on I could quit AI anytime I want to 1 week ago:
This is the 3rd of 4th time recently that I’ve heard someone, directly or indirectly, describe AI like meth. The first one was Hank Green when he said something along the lines of getting hooked on ‘being able to get things done faster,’ which is exactly how many people end up meth-heads.

One day I’ll learn that swiping keyboards and lack of proof-reading are a bad combination, but today is not that day!
- Comment on And The Lord Said BOUNCE! 1 week ago:
Sometimes, not often, I see things that make me with I was a modern kid. A bouncy castle pipe organ is somehow on that list.
- Comment on To “tent with aluminum foil”… 1 week ago:
Its a human nature thing, I think. Like sometimes if something sounds too obvious we assume it has to be more complicated than that. The same way many people don’t realize a “meltdown” is a nuclear core literally melting downward through the ground.
- Comment on To “tent with aluminum foil”… 1 week ago:
You just make a tent out of aluminum foil.
Sometimes the meaning is clear from the name, but just to keep you on your toes they’ll then talk about creaming butter or a bain-marie for melting chocolate.
- Comment on They were everywhere and a pack was just a quarter 1 week ago:
My parents tell the story of the time, before I was born, that they were totally out of money and cigarettes but managed to scrape together just enough for a pack from the machine at the bar. My dad put the money in and the machine jammed. He fought with it until it started spitting money out of the coin return at him. Someone put a Susan B Anthony dollar in, right after they were introduced, and it blocked it up. There was like $10 backed up behind it and it carried them to payday.
But that particular one is an art dispenser at the Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas. Or at least they were installed there before the pandemic, I think the hotel has had 2 new owners since then.

pterribledactyl, surely.
- Comment on Way too easy 1 week ago:
It’s more like Trump’s lies about Iran being fed to Axios are Lucy and the stock market is Charlie Brown.

If you can eat it in hour, it’s free and you get a t-shirt!
- Comment on Mars Bar from the 1990s found during house clearance - shrinkflation in action 1 week ago:
The chocolate was thicker too. Easier to peel off and eat separately.
- Comment on congratulations 1 week ago:
Just imagine the 2 of them in a room together 😱
- Comment on In Star Wars, what would it mean "to bring balance to The Force?" 2 weeks ago:
Fantasy, not sci-fi. At least since Disney killed all the extended canon that tried to graft on science to all the fantastic elements.
- Comment on The perfect date 2 weeks ago:
53 comments and I’m the first effusive nerd to bring up unix epoch? Nothing happened before 0 (1970-01-01 00:00:00) anyway.
- Comment on My phone just stays forever on silent with most emergency sounds off 2 weeks ago:
The only phone you get is a landline, a plastic Garfield whose eye open when you pick up the handset. So it is written, so shall it be.

Only a San Franciscan (or a sitcom writer) would adopt a lawnmower pun based pseudonym.
- Comment on New clean energy comes out. *look inside* It’s just boiling water again… 3 weeks ago:
Face it, all power is water, all stories are Hamlet, all food is grass, and all music is Pachelbel’s Canon. Reality’s budget is running out and it’s having to reuse assets.

Ronon Dex went full local after Atlantis splashed down.

I’d probably listen to Admiral Ackbar, and walk on by.
