Hey Ladybird — get off Xitter and use something else like Mastadon.

I’d say the reboot falls apart about 2/3 of the way through. The last cylon reveals felt very Lost/Lindelof where they’d painted themselves into a corner and hadn’t planned out the ending.

Portal! Wish I’d remembered that one for my list. Such an inventive game.

• Yars revenge on Atari 2600.
• Kaboom on 2600.
• Pitfall on 2600.
• Myst on classic Mac.
• Dark Castle classic Mac.
• Diablo 1.
• Star Wars Dark Forces.
• That weird Ayn Rand utopia in the sky Bioshock sequel on any platform.
• The Star Wars Battlefront game that came out around rogue one on Xbox until the developer started tweaking with it and it became a griefer’s paradise.
• Gauntlet arcade and home versions. So fun to play as co-op.
• Ms Pac Man arcade.
• Tempest arcade.

And a shout out to Arashi, which was a great classic mac homage to Tempest.

Why is Google determined to kill one of its cash cows? Cramming AI into search results feels like “New Coke”.

We have some of those, but that’s not what I’m referring to. We also have these right turn lanes that curve off at the intersection, but don’t have a parallel ramp to get up to speed. They just throw you into oncoming traffic. It’s dumb.

Because each state has different regulations for what’s acceptable for road design, and a lot of them are lousy.

My favorite trend is the “right turn on ramp” where you’re angled in such a way that you can’t turn your head far enough to see oncoming traffic, and you can’t see it in your rear view mirrors either. And if you are sideswiped or rear ended, you’re going to break your neck from straining to see if the coast is clear.

Are they spamming people with this on computers they know don’t meet system requirements?

Start with a book called “Tog on Interface”.

The book “Design of Everyday Things” might also provide some good background.

And then there are the endless Human Interface guidelines put out by Apple and many other companies that usually try to explain the “why” behind their decisions.

A couple of strains of mosquito. We don’t need the two or three that bite humans. There are plenty of other strains that the bats and birds can eat.

No. But I did learn that if you put your sunglasses over one eye and look at it, it makes a trippy 3D motion effect.

Cellulose. Wax paper. Stuff made from seaweed and mushrooms.

That weird jell-o gelatin / cool whip combo they serve at cafeterias.

E waste is full of precious metals. You’d think someone would figure out how to recover them.

Tried this in cornbread once because I was out of eggs. It was gross.

Soy sauce is like half your daily salt intake in one serving, unless you buy the low sodium version.

I’m starting to see the propaganda bots and spam creep in. I guess that means it’s reaching a certain popularity level.
