    discord can take CCs but not every adult has one. balooga's method really would solve the problem. It also takes the auth away from visa's near monopoly.

    shit -- better than the current systems. It seems like a fairly easy solution to a very compromising problem. It solves so many issues -- like the absolute gong show that is the social security numbers etc.

    edit 01:10:52: what the fuck is this...
    edit: 01:13:28 I took a second break and now I'm back. I'm thinking its going to get crazy now.
    last edit: this might turn out to be good. It would have benefited from a heavy edit.
    actual last edit: I turned it off. so stupid.
    edit: i lied -- I just decided to finish it. corny but funny.. probably better in a group.

    Finishing up Ernest Hemingway - The Old Man and the Sea (1952, 96pg), then I'm back to whichever Sherlock mystery is next, then I think I'm gonna crank through Mary Oliver - Devotions: The Selected Poems of Mary Oliver* (2017, 456pg), then maybe H. Jon Benjamin - Failure Is an Option: an Attempted Memoir (2018, 245pg)... maybe.

    * edit: yes, this was on S19 of Taskmaster -- I read a few poems and they seem great.

    Started Taskmaster: Series 19 tonight and its gold so far. I did 14 before this and wasn't feeling it for the first half, but then it all came together and was super good. What a wonderful show.

    just a theory, but I wonder if Skinner left Red Bull to join Newey. Not a lot of names left to move away.

    I was so surprised. I wanted a dubbed copy of A Better Tomorrow because some of the samples are in some Wu-Tang tracks. Only tubi seemed to have them, so I gave it a swing and muxed it in with the bluray rip. Pretty handy. Not everything works, but dig through the Inspector > Network and give it a swing. Some stuff has DRM, others do not. :)
