Dat Green Shitter?

You’re kind of forgetting about digital cameras. Looking back, I was on my 3rd or 4th digital camera at the time - and Polaroid had been bankrupt for years.

I got married in the aughts, just a few years after Outkast came out with the song Hey Ya, which was a super popular song. Anyway, my wife and I had a Polaroid camera and thought it would be fun to leave it out with a bunch of film so our wedding guests could take pictures of the night for us.

So we went to Target to buy film and ask a teenager working there if they sold Polaroid film. They had no idea what we were talking about. I said remember asking my wife, “So what do you suppose they think that line ‘shake it like a Polaroid picture’ means?”

That teenager would be in their mid-30s by now…

I’m super stoked for the Project Hail Mary movie. But I was super disappointed in the trailer, because it shows the WHOLE freaking movie. If you haven’t read the book, you’re far better off skipping the trailer and going in blind.

The Hobbit and LOTR books are actually fantastic to listen to as audiobooks. The narrator (at least in the version I had) sings all the songs.

Are you saying that you can hear when I pick massive boogies out of my nose?

My company cut funding for traditional projects and has prioritized funding for AI projects. So now anything that involves any form of automation is “AI”.

The average growth rate from 10,000 BCE to 1700 was just 0.04% per year.

Wow that’s crazy to me. I had always envisioned humans steadily spreading and growing constantly. I had no idea that we were basically treading water for so long.

I love stumbling across random information like this. I had no idea that mint spread so aggressively - and will likely never need this information. But it’s fun to learn.

Maybe he drank it in 60 seconds?

I used to be in a barbershop quartet in Skokie, Illinois. The baritone was this guy named Kip Diskin, big fat guy, I mean, like, orca fat. He was so stressed in the morning…

I feel bad you’re getting down voted, because I was thinking the same thing. If the reply was just “Brian.” I suppose it would have made more sense to me. But since they tagged his full name first, it was throwing me off.

Seriously, could you imagine if delicious food that we enjoyed just lazily drifted down from the sky? Hot wings from heaven sounds dope as hell.

That’s actually a brilliant review and sums up my feelings on having played League of Legends for several years.

That quote makes me laugh. At face value, it says that an FBI agent confirmed someone did indeed have an authentic laptop.

I watched the whole movie thinking it was about COVID. Afterwards, my wife mentioned it was about climate change. I suppose the reality is, we’re just awful at responding to any large threat.

It’s definitely a tragedy. It has some humor to it, mostly things like poking fun at people who claim that the planet killing asteroid is going to boost the economy.

I think it’s worth a watch.

I feel like if the Project Hail Mary crisis happened today, the response would be more like what happened in Don’t Look Up.

Mostly because people aspire to be billionaires. Society would be much better off if people aspired to be hurricanes.

No Flinching by Stephen King. It’s a good book, but you really have to go back and start with the Mr. Mercedes series.
