Of course now I have to take melatonin to make sure I don't wake up after 3 hours of sleep, but I've dealt with insomnia for most of my life, so, eh. Worth it.
Something to consider: I found that taking ZMA (Zinc Magnesium Aspartate) before I go to bed vastly improves my quality of sleep. I occasionally take melatonin, but I don't like the groggy feeling I get when I wake up.

Sing it brother. The past year has been brutal with the shortages though. I just switched my son to Vyvanse and am considering switching myself.
Also, I learned the hard way not to take Adderall after 6PM or I can't fall asleep until 2AM.

It's a better name than the Mulva transport, though not as good as the Delores torpedo (hat tip to Seinfeld.)

Interesting way to refer to it as "tackle football." What do you refer to the other version as? Ted Lasso football?
I think there's a real opportunity to rebrand both. Perhaps:

I'd be shocked, shocked I tell you, if there were any review-bombing on OW2.

After that scintillating article on air quality, I'm eagerly looking forward to the NYT's next article, "Playing with Puppies and Kittens can give you Cancer".

There's a third option - get one of the counter ice makers. I got one of the Igloo ones for ~$125 and love it. Prime Day is coming up, so keep an eye out for deals on one.
I've had similar fridge woes, and newer fridges seem to be MUCH more prone to breakage than older ones, and if it's a circuit board fault (as it was with ours), you can go for days while waiting for a replacement. They truly don't make them like they used to.

Confirmed. I was hoping for beautiful vistas and instead I got passengers yelling at me because I couldn't figure out how to open the train doors. French passengers.

I'd say it was prognostication. Since the company is no longer sending the person a paycheck.

Blue, check out The Waluigi Effect. It's primarily an analysis of ChatGPt, but it has some good examples of creating "personas" that have particular voices. You could probably take that as a starting point and create an OotB persona that eschews games and espouses the virtues of Manstovia.

The layoffs we have seen in the last few months, however, are due to corporations either not caring or being embarrassingly clueless as to the very obvious signs as to what was coming. The extent of the layoffs we have been seeing is due to corporation negligence and indifference to its staff, and that pisses me off.

Thank you Blue for bringing us all such joy over the years. It's an honor to be a subscriber and to repay the favor.
I actually do remember downloading and installing qtest - my main thought at the time was "do they know there are more colors than just shades of brown?"

Odd, I don't feel any different.

Competitive mode can produce spectacular matches in the hands of professionals in the Overwatch League, but it's inherently flawed in the hands of casual gamers
Well said, and much better than my snippy comment.
Looking over at the forums, it also appears that matchmaking is currently done on total team ranking versus matching role ranks. Also, new users defaulted to "Gold" ranking, and the inrush of new players with the F2P model wreaked havoc with the ranked matches. Apparently it's been set to Silver now, but the damage has been done.

Whew, that's a relief! I was worried they might have created a poorly designed, opaque ranking system. Turns out I'm just too stupid to comprehend it.

No worries. There probably wasn't anything big happening in the gaming world anyways.
Oops.

News of the death of tape backup has been greatly exaggerated. When it comes to offsite backup of huge data sets (raw video, databases, etc.) tapes still win the price/performance competition. "Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes hurtling down the highway," said Andrew Tannenbaum, and according to xkcd (link) it will be that way for at least another 20 years.
Personally I can't stand tapes, but I do respect them.

I got the Flux Capacitor keycap when Clackeys made it. I posted a pic on Reddit with the caption "When this baby hits 88 wpm, I predict you're going to see some serious shit."
