  1. Worried Man #Blues (popularized by the Kingston Trio) and This Little Light of Mine are nearly the same #song, musically, in much of their length. This obviously leads to a #mashup in which both songs get sung. The natural way of doing this would be a #duet, with a man singing the Worried Man parts and a woman the This Little Light parts.

  5. I just had a *terrible* idea: NDS to Gameboy: a gameboy cart that contains everything to run a nintendo DS game but allows it to be played in a gameboy (no touchscreen). This will look and run terrible if it's even actually feasible

  20. You come to realize your partner has severe OCD. It takes you a while to notice. They need the bedcovers mussed in a scale replica of the coast of southern Crete, exactly a 12% ratio of crumbs to surface area on the table, 27 flecks of toothpaste on the bathroom mirror, etc. They feel the need to live in an extremely precise level and pattern of disorder.

  25. Reading the forum thread about signal dropping SMS and found this whch perfectly encapsulates my feelings about it

    "Hello, Just made this account to ask you to please reverse the short sighted decision. I have been able to convince about a dozen or more friends or family to make the switch over Signal specifically because it does both Secure messaging & non-secure SMS. This gives the lowest barrier to entry as these “normal people” that don’t want to have to think about using 2 different apps to achieve communication whoever they need to contact.

    The number one thing wrong with tech especially on the security side is lack of usability, we’ve had encrypted e-mails for decades and it has never been widely adopted because it is a pain in the butt to setup, please don’t become another useless security/messaging app with a higher barrier of entry by making this change.

    Sadly most of the people I’ve convinced to swap is because a. it supports sms and b. it supports more secure messaging, if “a” goes away they will move right back to 100% insecure SMS because Signal no longer supports it. These people do not want to miss messages from their: Bank, Steam, Epic, Cell Phone Company, and any number of 2 factor authentication services that are still using SMS and/or friends who haven’t yet been convinced to move to Signal. Much less have to open an entirely separate apps to continue using these service/having conversations with other non-signal friends.

    With all that being said please don’t raise the barrier for entry to the less tech literate people of our society, keep SMS support."

  39. Some time ago I saw a post on some social media site about playing #DnD but instead of rolling dice you draw Cards Against Humanity cards and have to work them into the narrative. I'm really thinking about running a Christmas themed one shot in this manner. Although, I'll probably use a more rules light system such as FATE. #TerribleIdeas
