I played this on Android. It was a lot of fun.

Mickey and Minnie's Gift of the Magi says otherwise

Not sure about the second game, but when you beat the first one it would tell you how to unlock hard mode. And if you beat that, it would tell you how to adjust your max health and starting lives so you could give yourself even more of a challenge.

It's a really poorly written article. The FOX 55 article they link is definitely better written.

This article starts by saying it's a "local Indianapolis grocery store" and then says it's in Fort Wayne. If a Fort Wayne grocery store counts as Indianapolis then every grocery store in the entire state must count as an Indianapolis grocery store.

Do you have a source for that? As far as I can tell he supported decriminalization and allowing individual states to legalize but I don't see any sources where he supported full legalization.

I've only heard good things about Dolly Parton

Any commercial entity that knowingly shares or distributes material that is harmful to minors on a website and such material appears on 25% or more of the webpages viewed on such website in any calendar month

(emphasis mine)

They can host as many non-porn videos as they want but it doesn't matter if people aren't watching those videos. For every webpage with porn, they'd have to force the user to visit three webpages without porn first.

I can't actually tell if this is an incredible reference to the documentary Finders Keepers or just a fortuitous coincidence.

Cocaine and meth are schedule 2 and ketamine is schedule 3, but when I went through DARE they still got lumped in with all the schedule 1 drugs.

That article also says:

The new sandwiches became available Tuesday, though customers can still make substitutions or create their own sandwiches.

If you walked into a store and ordered the classic black forest ham, by default it basically comes plain and you're expected to pick out your own preferred toppings. But if you go in and order the new grand slam ham instead, it by default comes with a reasonable set of default toppings. You're still allowed to customize but now a lot of people won't need to.

And all this is moot for online ordering since the website does include default toppings for the classic sandwiches.

Stupid people require oxygen to live.

I remember liking the Star Trek: The Next Generation LCD handheld game. Was it good? No, probably not. Definitely not by today's standards. But in a pre-Gameboy era, the bar for handheld games was pretty low.

No, TUDO is too dough.

It's contextual. If it's used in a phone number, it's a pound sign. If it's placed before a number, it's a number sign. If it's placed before a tag, it's a hash/hashmark/hashtag.

No one would pronounce "#foo" as "pound foo" any more than they'd call a #2 pencil a "pound two pencil". Because "pound" is clearly not the right name in either context.

Americans have been comfortable using different names for the symbol in different contexts since long before hashtags even existed. So when websites started using them and referred to them as "hashtags", that was fine. It was a new context so it could use whichever name it wanted. (Well, "octothorpe-tag" is probably far too unwieldy to catch on.)

Of course if we're talking about the symbol without a specific context, then we have to pick one of the names. For most Americans, that "default" name is probably still "pound". Twenty years ago I'd definitely say that, but even then it wasn't ubiquitous. It wasn't uncommon to hear it referred to as a hash. And it seems like the use of "pound" has declined and the use of hash has increased as people now spend more time online and less time dialing phone numbers. There's also a generational divide with older people more likely to say "pound" and younger people more likely to say "hash".

The initial wave of attention probably would have happened anyway, but when it was later revealed that the school had paid a bunch of money in an attempt to get the images removed from the Internet that just brought a second wave of attention to the incident.

I'm looking forward to tripping balls with Tarin in the Mysterious Forest.

I'm sure the local community does value quiet. But unfortunately we don't have any feedback from the local community. We only have OP's points of view. So I'm left to wonder whether this family was actually being disruptive by the local community's standards or if OP is blowing this out of proportion. If it's the former, then OP could have done everyone in that library a favor by politely bringing it up with the library staff instead of just complaining about it online. If instead the problem is that OP has different standards than the community does, then that's just too bad for OP because they're not the one actually paying for the library.

I see. Yeah, the end cursor can take some getting used to.

The thing that always messed me up when starting out was how deleting any text overwrites the clipboard. It was an odd quirk at first but I kind of like it now.

I still constantly wrongfoot copy and paste regularly

What do you mean by this?
