My cats are

• Maze (because she has stripes and I have a maze tattooed on my back and I figured naming her thus would increase my resemblance of a Batman villain)
• Hex (got her at the same time as Maze but she doesn’t really have distinct physical features that would inspire a particular name, so I named her Hex, short for Hexadecimal)
• Ripley (I don’t actually remember why we named her that, but it was inspired by Alien)

When I was a kid, I had a shirt that said “my mommy says I’m cool.”

As a young adult, I had a shirt that said “98% Monkey.” (That one once got me a minor discount!)

I loved both of those shirts.

I don’t wanna do it again because I used up all my luck with the awesome kid I already got.

Indeed, that was as it was described in the book. Apologies for not elaborating.

I guess you’d have to wake up to switch it over, but honestly just a power bank with a standard outlet would probably be adequate.

The CPAP model I use is meant for travel. When I bought it, it originally offered a bundle including - essentially - a power bank. It looks like that bundle is no longer offered, but now there appears to be a whole range of accessories meant to deal with loss or lack of power.

I thought that was invite only.

I learned this from Scrubs and cited it to my wife just yesterday!

According to American Dad!, also from overdosing on prenatal medicine.

I remember an Iron Man novel that suggested Tony had poor hearing because he played heavy metal in his helmet while flying from place to place.

I think it’s supposed to be hair with a bun.

This was one of the first two games including an accessible level editor that I ever encountered. I loved the game on its own merits, but I also loved creating multiplayer levels (not that anyone was playing it multiplayer back then).

My favorite level that I created for this game was based on the Mexican hotel shootout from Way of the Gun.

Proud of you, friend!

That wasn’t a very good poem. No sprogs.

(Hope you feel better)

Back when bash.org was a thing (I’m aware it has since been archived in multiple places), there was a quote that went something like “you only have a name because your mother was suspicious it took nine months to take a shit.”

This reminds me of when Jared Leto created Ukraine from a different powder in Lord of War.

Thank you.

Are you telling me Dresden isn’t really special?

I’m really bad at faces, so I apologize for the stupid question.

Is the second image also Clinton?

A long, long time ago, someone told me that crimes are committed separately. (I don’t even remember the person who told me this.) The situation that was discussed in that conversation was that a burglar had entered a home illicitly, fallen due to some code violation, and hurt themself.

The homeowner was able to conduct a case against the invader, but the criminal was also able to sue for … Whatever you sue for when you get hurt in someone else’s house. Neither jury was allowed to know the details of the other’s case, or perhaps they were instructed to disregard their knowledge.

The point is, in one possible suit the person we would likely agree is the victim is legally the victim; and in the other they are legally the perpetrator. According to the law, the two are not relevant to each other.

… Is what I was told decades ago by this person I barely remember.
