I am the jammiest fucker alive. Iād been umming and ahhing on whether to order a Steam Deck or not earlier this year, and I finally took the plunge in late August and placed a back-order which told me that my expected shipment would be in Q4 2022 - I hear that, and Iām thinking December to minimise disappointment.
Then in September I got the call for jury service that I quoted above, which was scheduled to happen in mid-October. I know there will be a lot of waiting around during my jury service, and I was gutted that I hadnāt placed my order for a Steam Deck earlier so that Iād already have it for the down-time during my jury duty.
Well guess who just got an email tonight saying that my Steam Deck was ready to ship if I wanted to complete my purchase? Thatās right, the luckiest HMF-er that you know!
Agent 47 will be infiltrating the courthouse again!

CBS This Morning covered this not once but twice this morning. I also just saw the inciting incident on Wikipediaās Top Read. I guess now that the police crackdown is escalating, this story has finally become interesting enough to foreign media and observers? 
It only took an extra week for potentially seismic cultural and political shifts to barely crack through Adam Levine and Jeffrey Dahmerā¦

To correct Yacob, they beat her to death. And she was 22.
The twitter hashtag has gone up to 42M, which would count higher than BlackLivesMatter.
Just when the internet was being cut out for everyone and the police was killing people as young as 13 on streets, Ebrahim Raeisi, who also had a hand in 1988 mass executions, was negotiating with world leaders. The west doesnāt give a shit about āpeopleā unless itās to their own benefit.

Sometimes I do wonder if this:
Is what some white people, particularly conservative men, see in their heads when they claim theyāre being oppressedā¦ They whine when theyāre called out for being shit humans; I canāt imagine how theyād deal with a LITERAL Thought Police.

Ok, Peach had an ultrasound and at the moment, it appears that sheās not in imminent danger. She has an enlarged spleen, as was the thinking, but no indication at the moment of anything cancerous or malignant, and no indication that her spleen has or is about to burst. Samples and tests need to be done to determine the cause, but if it is truly confined to her spleen, which is the initial diagnosis at this time, then treatment options are available and we are currently looking at around a 90% chance that sheās gonna be ok. That could change of course if more is found, but even this news is a huge relief, because if there is anything else, the fact that sheās not dying right now implies we will have time to do something about it.

Yeah it seems to be a recent issue that happens to Google Chrome users who decided to add Hitmanforum to their devices. Funny how mine didnāt have such issue until I opened it once @DrMekar asked about the same issue a week ago. But thatās probably just because I barely used it and mainly use my laptop to log on here. Then just like Mekar and you mentioned, reinstalling it seems to solve the issue.
I would think this is more of a Chrome issue, rather than the hitmanforum app itself.

Aw damn! I donāt think mine has reached the final stage yet. I can still make out the outline of a squareā¦
Guess Iāve got to wait a bit longer before I can get Legendary HMF Icon rarityā¦

āThe quantum foam of the universeā is such a weirdly fascinating sentence.
5 Likes
It is an actual scientific theory in the field of quantum physics dating back to the Fifties. It posits that the quantum underpinnings of the universe are not constants but undergo fluctuations in spacetime.

Some people really need to learn some better subtlety. Or maybe itās my fault for not getting into it early enough.
Probable spoilers for Cyberpunk: Edgerunners anime.
Iāve been seeing a lot of meme images and youtube thumbnails about the new anime series (even though I havenāt engaged with any of that content), and a lot of them involve *A picture of the Robot lady from the show, *A crying person/A crying manly man.
Soā¦ she probably dies by the end?
I could be wrong but it still kinda sucks I might go into the show with expectations like that, I feel it might ruin some of my enjoyment of it if I know whatās coming.

Speaking of fascinating sentences, hereās one that didnāt exist until George Carlin said it on stage in the early nineties:
āAs soon as I put this hot poker in my ass, Iām going to chop my dick off!ā
As he pointed out, the reason it didnāt exist before was because nobody had ever said it before; at that moment, he became the first person in the history of our species to put those exact words together in that particular order. And that concept fascinates me. I continue to try to come up with a unique, original sentence both funny and profoundā¦ alas, to this day, I continue to fail.

Seeing Akira for the first time tonight. 4K restoration.
My local theater is PACKED. Never seen them this busy since before covid. Barely any open seats with social distancing.
Theyāre gonna make really good business tonight for this limited weekend run.

Donāt forget to keep an eye out for @Swangtheuglyās profile pic. (At least the original version.) As I recall, itās fairly early in the movie.
Also, the movie itself is awesome. Youāre in for a treat.
