Should we point at them and loudly ask what they are?

Steam allowed me to use the old security code for my physical copy of Medieval 2: Total War to allow me to download a digital copy updated to work on Windows 10.

How about a single photon?

1 Adam 1, I’ve got a code 1, semantic disturbance. Requesting back-up.

And little of value will be lost…

Then one time, I believe it was July, there’s a knock on the door. I open it, and there’s this cute little girl scout, and she was so adorable, with the little pig tails and all. And she says to me, “How would you like to buy some cookies?” And I said “Well, what kind do you have?” She had thin mints, graham crunchy things, raisin oatmeal, and I said “We’ll take a graham crunch. How much will that be?” And she looks at me and she says, “…Uh I need about tree-fitty.”

Well, it was about that time that I notice that girl scout was a [vast governmental bureaucracy]. I said, “Dammit ! Get off my lawn, [Federal Government]! I ain’t giving you no tree-fitty!” It said, “how about just two-fitty?” I said, “Oh, now it’s only two-fitty!! What?! Is there a sale on [golden visa cards] or something?!”

You know, I have a structured settlement, but I need cash now…

I’m reminded of an exchange in an old TV show:

Well take this for what little it will profit you. As I look at you ambassador Mollari, I see a great hand reaching out of the stars. The hand is your hand. And I hear sounds. The sounds of billions of people calling your name."

“My followers?”

“Your victims.”

I’m glad I’m not the only one whose mind went here.

Now I can safely point out that destroying the Stargate would have terrible consequences. The naquadah power source would take out a significant chunk of real estate.

What about pooping?

Technically, Captain Britain is 1-1 if you count the War of 1812 as a British victory.

Just wait until ol’ Gaius tries a Byzantine playthrough of Medieval II. I recently returned the glory of the empire to the west (and to the Holy Land, greater Anatolia, and North Africa) after all these years after digging up my old copy and finding that Steam would allow me to put in my old registration code and download it to install.

Folding Ideas is a favorite for me. His stuff is professional, entertaining, and educational.

Technology Connections is the bomb. It’s the kind of content that makes you more knowledgeable in a meaningful way by the time the video is over.

It’s nice to know that AI can still give us that good old human touch in the form of blatant racism.

Somebody go ahead and shoot me, please. I want off this mother loving ride.

Journey apparently only has one original member left. I mention them because I remember them having a lot of turnover.

Splurging on a $4.99 chicken? My God, these people live on another planet.

This is stupid enough, but for a moment there I thought he was going to question the germ theory of disease, which would be even worse.

“…might be taxed more.”

Or taxed at all. If I dodged taxes the way these billionaire buttholes do, they would have already buried me UNDER the jail.
