  @dkf said in Nope, you eat it: Who really knows what blue is supposed to taste like anyway? Food should not be that colour. When I was in college the local convenience stores (Snappy-Mart) had their own equivalent of Icee/Slurpee called "Slush Puppy", which came in an assortment of colors, including blue. The others were fairly obvious (yellow for lemon, red for cherry, etc) but we had to ask to find out what they'd assigned for blue. Coconut. My friend thereafter always ordered a blue coconut Slush Puppy every weekend on the way out of town to go hiking.. About fifteen years later I returned for a visit, with my girlfriend of the tim, and of course I had to take her to Snappy Mart for a blue Slush Puppy. The flavor had changed, though. Mine tasted like kerosene, as did the many burps I treated her to for the rest of the afternoon.

  @BernieTheBernie said in Important announcement: It's snowing in Canada: Went to bed yesterday evening at 7:30, got up just before 10 AM, At 7:30 last night, I was struggling to keep my eyes open. I went to bed around 8:00, or so. I woke up after an hour or so; I was still sleepy and wanted to go back to sleep, but overactive brain wouldn't let me. I got up around 11, I guess, and yelled at my son. I stayed up until about 1:00, which is a typical bedtime for me, reading TDWTF and watching YT videos until I felt sleepy again. I slept until 6:30, got up, took my morning medicine, read my Bible, went back to sleep a little after 7:00, and slept until 9:00. 8-ish hours of sleep, which is well above average for me; I rarely get more than 6.

  @remi said in What is this, Rocktober?: May I ask why you kept mirroring? Is it something you do for all (most?) drawings or just this one, and if so what makes it different from the other? Generally not part of the process, though fairly common for humanish things depending on circumstances. Here I think I was looking at photos that had a face going the other way while using my own (left) hand for the dagger. I guess a video would be apt. You won’t see the mirroring but you can spot the backwards text. After I noticed it was off it was actually a bit of a hassle to get the snapshots to pick up on it being re-reveresed.

  @Gurth said in US / EU Level: Which reminds me of the time a hotel desk clerk in the USA refused to accept my passport as ID when I tried to check in, and asked for a driver’s licence. Which reminds me of the time a TSA agent looked at my passport and turned it around several times as if she'd never seen one. I got extra-nervous when she started trying to pick at the picture and corner of pages (i.e. almost damaging the passport!) as I could already see myself trying to explain that to the security staff at the next airport in my trip.

  @hungrier said in I had to hear this now so do you: @jinpa I think it's just unclear audio being auto-corrected by your brain, using the suggestions given. It's similar to how someone can tell you that Another One Bites The Dust played backwards says "it's fun to smoke marijuana". You may or may not have made that interpretation on your own, but given the suggestion, you can definitely hear it Turn me on, dead man.

  Finally releasing a application I have on my hard drive for way too long. Hopefully it is useful for someone. It's a small application to make any window transparent. I was making it for a friend of my, but never finished it, till now. It did work although without a fancy GUI. Had it already in some form for at least 10 years. A few weeks ago, I thought, "Just finish it already!". Fixed some things, made a silly logo and changed name in something less loaded. And here it is: Spooky View - Official app in the Microsoft Store A small and fast open source app to make any window transparent...

  Just watched Hawkeye with my wife. We both enjoyed it; it had a lot of heart and was one of the better MCU TV shows so far. A few thoughts: Our introduction to (grown-up) Kate involves her using her bow to accidentally cause some very expensive property damage to a local monument. In the final episode, she uses her bow to intentionally cause some very expensive property damage to a nationally-renowned landmark. Very nice call-back there. I liked the relatively realistic portrayal of Kate in the early fight scenes. She may be a champion-level martial artist, but in a real fight, against multiple people bigger than her, she's badly outmatched and needs to use wits and weapons to even the odds. In the end, it turns out Jack is innocent, all the stuff that made it look like he's evil was a bunch of red herrings, and he's just a good-hearted idiot who's on the good guys' side. ...except, if that's the case, why was he at a secret black market auction for bad guys in the first place? How is it that a suit built for a big guy like Clint Barton fits the much more petite Kate Bishop so well? All of the Yelena/Kate scenes were pure gold. We need those two to actually team up at some future point. Why did no one ever say "hey, Maya has a metal leg. Acid arrow!" Love the Galaxy Quest vibe with the last episode! Does anyone really believe that Kingpin is dead now? In the mid-credits musical number, one of the actors is a black man in a lab coat. For whatever reason, I looked at him and immediately thought "it's the 'here's a bright idea' scientist from HISHE!"

  I've got a whole lot of Duck Game levels on Steam, same username. Only one of them was explicitly designed to cause mental harm - try to guess which one! Also there's an omnibus collection featuring the same levels, plus some more "restrained" work by loosely associated authors. Also also, note the Benign vs Malignant collections. This distinction is probably self-descriptive. The Super Kickback Fraudpak is a collectors item, featuring a small sampling of award-winning levels.
