The number of times Cortana tells me she is keeping things quiet for me...
Hey they aren't popping up on your screen. But she's telling you to check your notifications passive aggressively.
"Aren't you grateful that I'm hiding these things from you...again?"
Introduced my daughter to Oscar. It is probably the only comedy that Silvester Stallone made on purpose. It is the epitome of situational comedy, but hilarious if you've never watched it. The grammar jokes with Tim Curry are the best.

@Kelly Are you looking to be hired or doing the hiring?
Looking for a job right now.
@JaredBusch Not sure if you've seen this already, but if not...

Just watched this for the fist time. Just reinforcing that Disney does not understand StarWars.
Since I'm not exactly a fan of Star Wars anyway, what does Disney not understand?
The difference between the Dark Side and Light Side and living forever. They used to be very different.
You have no idea what you are talking about.
Whether or not @travisdh1 knows what he is talking about, he is right that at least Rian Johnson has no idea what Star Wars is about, and possibly a good chunk of Disney involved in the sequels.

I would point the blame more towards the writers and directors.
He is the writer and director of at least TLJ: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0426059/.
Steam summer sale is kicking off on June 25th. Save your monies.
Tomorrow is National Donut Day in the US. If you're not gluten free, most of the donut shops are giving out free donuts.
I use them pretty consistently at night. It might be a placebo effect, but I think they improve my sleep quality. I don't wake up in the middle of the night as much when I wear them (and am using devices quite a bit) in the hours before sleep.
Here are the ones I got: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015E65676/.

@CCWTech that picture is the first hit for "real estate mongol" on Google.
Nice. I wish I could say I'm surprised. They are all over the place here.
I've heard rumors that those (and signs like them) are related to trafficking. I haven't done any research beyond those claims though.

Woohoooo!!!!! Birthday weekend for me!!!! And my homey with the same birthday is going to be in town too!!! Nothing really planned yet, but I know there will be good food and plenty of drinks.
Happy birthday! (early, but I'll forget so I'm doing it now)
I finally got around to watching Into the Spiderverse. What a fantastic movie from a visual perspective. It was absolutely insane to watch, but the ways the art style changed were so good.
Thanks for posting this @Nic. I had someone open a credit card in my name with information stolen from Equifax. Luckily they didn't use it for anything before it got flagged.

Captain Marvel, she flew through a ship and destroyed it in 5 seconds, ship likely has the diameter of a mile, yet she gets tossed around effortlessly by Thanos...Duuuuuuuuuumb.
That was some fan service teaser of her powers. Just like what happen when Superman showed up kicking ass at the end of Justice League.
Plus Thanos sucker punched her using the power stone.
Yeah of course.
Yeaaaaaaaah...plus they have to make it cinematic.
I was able to suspend my disbelief right up until the "Female Heroic Pose Before We Save Spiderman" moment. That was so artificially set up. I enjoyed the rest of the movie, and I do my best to not think about things too hard.

I suppose it would be boring if Thor just beheads Thanos a second time, but I think I'd prefer it, then they could just be shown fighting that massive army.
From the first Iron Man movie that ended up kicking off a 10 year journey. And with Avengers, Iron Man 3, AofU, Infinity War and Endgame. It was always about Thanos and Tony Stark. At least that's how I see it.
Tony Stark is, imo, one of the best characters in movie story telling.

pondering life choices and trying to decide what's next.
Also wondering why I can't seem to stay focused on getting certifications as I know they make me more valuable.. dont know..
An wise person once told me, "You can figure out what drains your energy by looking at the things you procrastinate." It is likely that the certs you're looking at doing aren't in things you really enjoy doing, for whatever reason. Once you accept that fact you can evaluate if this is just a task that has to be done even if you don't, or if there needs to be another path taken.

I have all of those books and really like the conflict resolution mechanism. I've never played it though.
It looks really interesting. I haven't played it at all, but a few of my friends want something a bit more serious than just smash and grab, so we started looking around for a system that would support what we were wanting out of a ttrpg. I'm hoping that this will fill that niche. We're going to actually use Burning Empires since our world is a sci fi one. BITS looks like it could be very fun.
