Post-its imply the existence of pre-its.
Finished playing The Crew: Mission Deep Sea with @htdrake. Satisfying!
I've still yet to try either this or the original with more than two players. That could be a whole different challenge.

your ui should not passively animate for anything less important than a carbon monoxide leak.
it's effective at getting attention, often way too effective.
Hank Green is surprised to suddenly feel (guardedly) optimistic about #climate.

Have you notice that all the drake mallards (male ducks) seem to have disappeared? If not, visit your local pond and observe. You'll only see brown ducks, like in this photo.
What is going on?

did you know that while filming Predator (1987) Jesse Ventura bet Arnold a bottle of champagne that he had bigger arms (because the wardrobe department told Jesse his arms were one inch bigger than Arnold's) and then lost because Arnold had set the whole thing up with the wardrobe department

@ifixcoinops The other big effect is computer software being copyrightable. In the 1970s, no one knew if computer code could be copyrighted, but in the 1980s that became an issue. The courts looked back at the player piano situation: a player piano roll isn't that different than punch cards for a computer, a set of instructions for a machine to follow. And if a player piano roll falls under the 1909 copyright law, so does computer code.
So all software licensing also comes out of player pianos.
Moulage Ruin would be a great name for a horror movie makeup studio.
