I don’t know if Pente is being published by anyone any longer, but it’s a similar modern game that had its moment back in the 70s and early 80s. The board and pieces would be trivial to reproduce.

It’s a lot of fun with surprisingly complex strategies arising from very simple rules.

I'd much rather drive the Miata. There's a reason that when I was forced to purchase a car after almost 20 years without one, I opted for a Miini Cooper. Sure, they're cute, but I was ecstatic to look it up and find it was only about an inch larger than my first car, a 1983 Renault Alliance MT.

Small cars rule.

That man has dementia.

A clean poop? That runny mess looks more like she was marking her territory.

"…some of which they argue are undermining democratic norms."

That there is known as a "load-bearing clause," and Newsweek should know better than to put it under such heavy strain. The entire article is likely to collapse—much like the media's collective spine—if it gives way.

Oh dear God, I am so so so very tired of saying "What a fucking moron," every goddam time I see a headline with his name in it.

I was over it four years ago and it feels like some cruel joke that I'm saying it again day after day.

The first time I played Super Mario on the N64 I can still recall how it made me slightly dizzy, which delighted me. That effect only lasted a short while, but it was a lot of fun to feel that disoriented by a video game, if but briefly.

As a native Floridian this breaks my heart. In my own view immigrants have an even greater claim to being American than I do They chose us, this nation created of immigrants. My family may have been here since the late 1600s, but I'm still only American by accident of birth.

There's a reason I now live on the opposite corner of the continent.

This not-stop drama and incompetence bullshit is just so damn tiring. It really makes you appreciate even more how Democratic administrations just Get Shit Done™ compared to their fumbling Republican counterparts.

Holy hell but do I miss government just working.

Fringe was the last one I noticed as having a particular run of luck, just squeezing by season after season.

Netflix has burned me so bad I no longer watch their series until they're done. Not the best way to be sure of getting new seasons, but I'm over watching fun stuff that gets killed after a single season.

Shhhh! Don't interrupt him, he's decomposing.

I dropped 10k building out my forever touring/commuter bike, but only 1600 of it was the frame. The rest was all higher end components.

Then it got folded around the front end of a car, along with myself. Now it's over 12k since I had to replace the frame and few other bits and bobs. Thankfully I had good insurance, otherwise after the hospital stay and recovery it'd be closer to $500,000 because America.

But fast it aint. Pretty though.
