First time I ever really noticed I was having this was walking my dog after playing a long session of "Crackdown". That game is all about climbing buildings, moving around and between rooftops, etc. I was walking along and looked at a house and the thought "up that drainpipe to that roof, then up onto the next roof, across the roof, jump to the roof next door" just popped into my head. Every house I looked at was how to climb it. I thought it was funny.

Since then I've had to set rules, like no driving for one hour after playing "Wreckfest", after once I was driving and came up to a couple of lanes of cars lined up at a red light and thought "I can get between those lanes if I start fast enough".

I had someone start opening credit cards in my name. They had *everything*. Thanks Experian!

This website was great, it guided me through the steps and helped track progress.

(Found via ftc.gov). Better go there now before DOGE shuts it down because rich people have lawyers do this for them.

I hear where you're coming from, but I've got to say, I would love some more DLC for Stranded: Alien Dawn, that game has so much untapped potential.

I'm not a tackle football fan at all, but in the abstract, something seems seriously wrong with how the draft system is set up if the best thing teams can do is lose. No sport should ever reward teams for losing. Maybe the #1 draft position shouldn't be the last position, but maybe 3rd worst or something, so teams will still want to win.

Come on Blue! Yachts that have their own baby yachts don't pay for themselves!

But if you happen to have a Whole Foods nearby, you could try taking it to their returns counter.

The Odd Couple intro quoted is of course from the show. But if you liked the show, do yourself a favor and watch the movie with Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau. I hope this link works to bring you to the trailer... https://www.imdb.com/video/vi291487513/?ref_=tt_vi_i_1

I had to serve on a jury, and I will say it was an interesting experience. In fact I was disappointed that the trial was cancelled due to Covid shutting down the courthouses.

I reported and was among hundreds of people in a very large room. Slowly we were whittled down, with various groups being dismissed or called away. Finally I was in a group called away. Probably a few dozen people. We were told we were being considered as jurors for a first degree murder trial. I thought to myself "holy shit, this is as serious as it gets!". We were questioned as to whether we could be objective, had any relationship with legal system, etc., and more people were whittled away, until finally we were told we were the jury pool for the murder trial.

I won't go into details of that, but we did serve for over a week, before the trial was cancelled. It was certainly an interesting experience, and to me the seriousness with which everyone took their role (at least at the courthouse) reinforced the value of the jury system.

(Edit to add - I worked for a company that paid us for jury duty, plus the Commonwealth paid us a stipend, so I actually made a little money. Unlike Blue I didn't have a business to keep running!)

Good point. Now I really hope he does buy it!

I wonder if Musk will buy Infowars. Seems right up his alley, and I'm sure it will be cheap enough for him.

Blue, as a gamer you'll get a great workout playing some VR games on Oculus Quest. Play something like "Pistol Whip" and you won't even know you're getting a workout until the track ends and you realize you're sweating and your heart is pounding!

Wait until he realizes how many people like me quit Twitter. Is he going to sue us all to force us to use X? Seems like similar logic. If you want to dignify his lawsuit by calling it logic.

Way too many spoilers in that trailer. They should know better. Now I know most of whom will die, and that takes away a lot of the drama, to me at least. Or maybe they telegraph that at the start of the movie and so it doesn't matter. Still, I'm advising friends/family into the franchise to avoid watching.

Yeah, it could be a great TV show if done right. I'd rather it not be done than done badly, and if it got off to a bad start it's probably best to start over elsewhere.

Wow, that really sucks, but thanks for saying so because you saved me from being in the same boat. I would want to be able to play solo if I want to as I often could and would in a similar multiplayer game, Warframe. If they've made that infeasible this games stays a no for me.

I'll always remember Martin Mull for Fernwood 2 Night. What a bizarre, hilarious show.
