Pala did, however, still have this furry bait as of last month. It did not like me last time I played it. LOL

Werewolf slot machine at Pala Casino in Southern California.

We have those same machines & game software at the casinos near me, but they’ve only (as of my last visit) got the mid/meh Abominable Snowman and Mummy theme overlays. Would be nice to get the Werewolf one for Halloween at Pala or Valley View…

I'm not done with this bullshit. Suggesting when we buy games, digital or otherwise, we don't own them is RIDICULOUS. Every single game I've ever bought before digital was the norm? IS. MINE. Of course it's "reasonable". It's ALWAYS been the expectation because it was this way for DECADES.

Changed the spark plugs on my ‘09 Wrangler yesterday. Driver side plugs took maybe 30 minutes, even taking my time. The passenger side ones, though… May the fleas of a thousand camels infest the armpits of the designer who packaged that side of the engine bay.

A quick word on Taco Bell: That's where we found the suspected lettuce, and it's not bc Taco Bell is gross. It's bc Taco Bell is REALLY GOOD at tracing product! Keeping track of exactly where they got their ingredients, & exactly what restaurants each shipment of ingredients went to!

Saying we should all go back to physical media I think misses the point. I actually *like* buying games and movies digitally for a bunch of reasons. What we need is better consumer protections so the things we do buy digitally are actually owned and companies cant delete/revoke access!

Deepfakes are everywhere, but digital forensics investigators are fighting back. Learn more: scim.ag/42dMPBg

To verify images, digital forensics investigators will often check whether the geometry of the scene is realistic. In a real photo, lines that run parallel in reality—like floor tiles—should meet at a single vanishing point. In this image, however, the dotted lines do not meet in a single point, indicating it is a fake.
Image: an AI-generated image of soldiers marching down a hallway in three lines, wearing fatigues and carrying rifles. Four dotted white lines have been added over the image, running along the floor tiles visible in the foreground and extending back to where the vanishing point should be, behind the soldiers. Instead of meeting in a single point, the lines all cross at different points.

Investigators also examine reflections. The lines connecting points on an object to matching points in its mirror image run parallel in reality, so similarly should meet at a vanishing point. In this image, the lines again do not converge on one point, revealing it to be a fake.
Image: An AI-generated image of a plastic cartoon dinosaur toy with its reflection visible in a small mirror. Four dotted white lines are layered over the image, connecting points on the toy with the same points on its reflection: the top of its eye, the end of its jaw, its hand, and its foot. The lines extend out to the side of the image, where they all cross at different points rather than meeting at a single point.

My logged takeoff & landing counts have been off by one for years. A training flight unexpectedly turned IMC once, and CFI had to grab a pop-up IFR to land at minimums. Also logged 0.1 dual actual IMC that flight. DPE quizzed me specifically on that during my check ride. LOL

It then took about 5 minutes of fighting with the bot (which finally admitted it was a bot around 2 minutes in) before I broke out of its customer interference loop and got one of the two - count ‘em - office guys.

To my non tech normies, PSA: when you share a link, everything after the ? is tracking. Those “query parameters” tell companies exactly how you arrived, what app you clicked, which ad or email sent you, sometimes a unique identifier tied to you. You can delete everything after the question mark.

KCRQ’s my home field, so I’m with you on that sentiment. But it’s getting busy enough here it’s probably unavoidable. Time will tell, I guess. Glad F70’s getting a tower. That place is like Ramona’s crazy days back when it was uncontrolled L39 in the ‘90s.

F70? If so I heard at a recent ATC safety panel that delta classification is “coming soon”. Fingers crossed; French Valley can be legit scary sometimes… Also, rumors floating that KCRQ may be uprated to a charlie, since another airline is coming here. Don’t know timeframes for either, tho. 🤷‍♂️

HEY YOU! YES YOU! TAKE THIS SHIT OUT OF LINKS!

These are source identifiers. Source identifiers are used to track your activity on a site. Where you came from, what device you use, and even who you talk to. Whether it's written clearly in the url or tied to a random string of characters, it's assigned to your activity.
When you send a link containing a source identifier to somebody and they click it, it signals to the website that you two are connected. And that data goes right back to the website operators, and thus their advertisers.
Whenever you select "share" or "copy link" on a social app or website, it creates a link like this. If you give even the smallest shit about online privacy, it's important to remove them. Everything after the "?" symbol can be removed without issue, especially sections starting with "si=" or "utm_source="

Replaced the leaking radiator in my sister’s ‘09 Wrangler yesterday, and was surprised how easy it mostly was. Looks like a lot going on in the pics, but it really wasn’t bad.

Holly Bear ʕ 👁️ ᴥ👁️ʔ 🎃🦇 @bearhybrid.art · 07/11/2025

I can feel the Christmas noose beginning to tighten all too soon 🎃🙅🎄 #OldBearComics #TheBearMinimum

Holly bear stands in a supermarket, looking at days after Halloween candy on sale. She says: "Man what a good Halloween! I love that spooky fall feel-". She is distracted by distant music playing 'Holly jolly Christmas' & asks (afraid) "Wait what was that?"

Holly bear takes off screaming "No! Not now!" as too early Christmas decorations put out by the store move in aggressively towards her.
'I don't know if there'll be snow but have a cup of cheer' sounds in the background louder now as the song continues.

A desperate Holly bear struggles to get through the store's door screaming "HELP! It's got me!!" as her claws scrape the doorframe, she is being pulled back in by the Christmas decorations. Holly Jolly Christmas continues to play louder.

Holly bear is yanked back inside as the door slams on her, trapped in the store. Ominously the last refrain of 'Holly jolly Christmas' seeps loudly through the shut door.

As Halloween nears, let’s take a moment to reflect on the TRUE holiday horrors Gen-X and early Millennials suffered at the hands of our parents. Behold the “costumes” my sister and I wore for Halloween in 1980, and despair! 😬

Vinyl Halloween “costume” from 1980: a bad polyethylene mask of a licensed character, and a vinyl onesie bearing the copyrighted IP with even worse “artwork”.

The “costume” pictured consists of a polyethylene mask of the cartoon character Strawberry Shortcake. The onesie is patterned like a red & white antique sun dress, and the upper half is adorned with the cartoon’s eponymous title card. The bottom half bears the likeness of the eponymous lead character sitting with a cartoon cat among green leaves.

Not pictured: the godawful stench of poorly-cured vinyl, cheap plastic, and industrial airbrush paint.

My sister had the absolute misfortune of having worn a copy of this costume as a child.

Took it to the local emergency vet, which is a wildlife trauma intake vet. Hoping the crow gets to a good wildlife rehab to heal. It was a beautiful bird; vibrant bluish-black plumage. Wish I’d got pics, but that wasn’t the priority in the moment. Ah well…
