Air BnB is destroying the housing market in my area. That said, it’s exposing a demand for something that doesn’t otherwise exist. In addition to hotels, people also want to be able to rent larger spaces, with a kitchen so they don’t have to eat out every night, and multiple bedrooms so the adults don’t have to go to bed at the same time as the kids. Hotel developers should be taking notes.

I miss the pressure sensitive touch screen my iPhone 7 had. A hard press immediately pulled up the copy / paste menu.

iOS has a non-obvious undo / redo, too. To access the undo menu, shake the phone.

Who cares if you’re potentially extending a war if there’s wartime profiteering to be had?

I don’t get why so many people begrudge YouTube for trying make money. They serve up 5TB of video data every second. Somebody’s got to pay for all of that. They know ads suck, that’s why they sell no ad subscriptions.

The UK is going through the same thing. The Prime Minister dissolved Parliament about two weeks ago, and elections are going to be held of July 4th. (An odd choice, but apparently elections are always on a Thursday in the UK.)

The needless gaps are there for touchscreen optimization, even on things you never use a touchscreen on, like a desktop OS.

The Into the Spider-Verse trailer avoids the plot twists and reveals while showing off their new animation style. I think there’s one or two lines and scenes in the trailer that didn’t make the movie itself, I don’t remember Miles and Peter sitting on a subway bench having a conversation. (It may have been a red herring, to avoid showing the actual scene with additional characters.)

The player clicked on the Builder button, then clicked on me, so now I build a staircase into the sky.

Modern browsers have dropped support for the marquee tag, so you’ll have to reimplement it in JavaScript.

Not a film, but there’s a DC animated short where Mark Hamill voices every character.

Related question is when does the government celebrate your birthday. Sure, you can go apply for your drivers license on your 16th birthday on February 29, but your 18th and 21st birthdays aren’t on leap years. When can you get your first legal drink? (I’m assuming March 1st, as the bars don’t want to risk serving you a day early.)

Batman gives you so many options.

“It doesn’t mean I don’t care anymore. I don’t want to let you down, honest, but… but it just doesn’t hurt so bad anymore. You can understand that, can’t you? Look, I can give money to the city - they can hire more cops. Let someone else take the risk, but it’s different now! Please! I need it to be different now. I know I made a promise, but I didn’t see this coming. I didn’t count on being happy. Please! Tell me that it’s okay.”

“Think about it - a world where there’s no crime, no victims, no pain.”

“And no choice. Who elected you, anyway?”

“Who elected you? The problem with democracy is, it doesn’t keep you very safe.”

“It has other virtues. But you seem to have forgotten them.”

“I didn’t forget! I just chose peace and security instead.”

“You grabbed power!”

“And with that power, we’ve made a world where no eight-year-old boy will ever lose his parents because of some punk with a gun!”

*Batman drops his batarang; it clatters to the ground*

“You win.”

The Fat Mac (512k) my dad bought to run inventory for his store. I was probably 2 or 3 playing games like Count-on-Mac and version of the memory game called, I think, Concentration. I’d also mess around in Mac Paint and later got into Pinball Construction Set.

China hasn’t demonstrated the ability to execute a sustained naval campaign far from their home ports in the past. They’re a green water navy with blue water aspirations. While this would be a good chance to practice long range deployments and air defense strategies, with the eyes of the world focused on the Red Sea, they don’t want to risk screwing up and loosing national prestige.

A Tomahawk cruise missile only uses a rocket motor to take off from a ship or submarine. After launch, it unfolds its wings and uses a jet engine to fly to its target.
