I love google, hate most of their news (it's too political)
Politicians fart like everyone else. But they zero in on a few, carefully stepping over others
So I check out Bing, which is total weirdness, the kind of news you'd hear on a TV news show at 20 minutes after the hour.
Widely dispersed trivia about cats, accountants.
Anyway they say Rite-aid might close a store or two, because they're short of money.
*I* thought it was because the self-righteous biddies and mean women running the place were scaring customers away...That and the restrictive hours they keep.

They're being sued?
Everyone's being sued, they can afford good lawyers, I'm not hearing the whole story.

That brand-new chicken place, why wasn't it KFC?
Pizza-hut and KFC are the same company (I think) so what made them leave town??

One of the Biggest Banks in the US and maybe the world, also left town.
Maybe the bank customers represented too low a class for them, but then I wonder about the brand-new Chicken place. We're poor but we love Chicken? (Just not KFC?) (or "Taco Bell"??)

There's this song they used to play on the radio (when radio still existed)
"Every move you make, I'll be watching you"
which is what I think of when I hover my mouse over a story on Bing.
Once many years ago I thought I knew something about Disney's monorail, that it hovered, beeecause, it appeared to bounce slightly as if it were hovering, and maybe I'd read too much fantasy on hovering monorails.

Well shit, I was shot down, it didn't hover at all.
So what's up with monorails anyway? Wouldn't they be top-heavy?
Years later, I still don't know if any monorails disney owns hover, but there is a device called a "maglev" that fits the definition of a true-to-life hovering thing.
So if disney had a couple billion to burn, they could make a maglev, I suppose.
Everyone is fascinated with tech, no one wants to pay for it. A hundred-mile maglev track would cost ten billion, say some, and there's a question in *my* mind why it has to be "Maglev" unless that's a way to qualify for federal funds,

I heard this deteriorated into thoughts about cell-phones, so I've redacted most of the phone stuff.
OK a question, why did they remove Infrared from phones?
Remember Wifi 6 and 6e? Their life was too brief, We hardly knew them:
--------
If a new battery they're trying out puts out 1 megawatt per half-acre, how much acres would be needed for 2 gigawatts?
(Couldn't they just stack the batteries?)
(Couldn't they just stack the batteries?)
500 acres is 1 gigawatt.
Assuming you had the tech to charge the batteries without straining existing power.
I feel like I'm missing the point of starfield, the heavy-handed moral.
"War never changes" or some such thing.
If the bad-guy hunter is Star-born he already knows what's going to happen, and yet he continues on being a stereotypical Snidely whiplash.
*I* keep collecting powers, I think I'm missing only one,
and I still don't know what it's all about: WHO invented those fancy pieces of metal to transport a person into the multiverse-nexus?
WHY? (well let's just say they were smart and they could,) did they blow themselves up, is that why the "Artifacts" are buried in rock across planets?
WHAT is the message of those fancy lights???
Does this game have a conclusion?
Actually they include a question at the end about who and why, and they paid some writer to come up with a totally bombastic and meaningless answer, worthy of Wikipedia itself.
I don't like Sarah, I don't like Sam Coe.

| Asparagus soup w/ brie |
Sam is incredibly egoistic and Sarah is too in a different way.
(hang on, gotta go look up "egoist" and "Egotist")
Apparently Sarah has a complete sub-quest if you cozy up to her enough.
Personally I feel guilty every time I leave Min on her abandoned planet (it's that or she becomes a crew member.)
I like the russian lady, and the black lady but the black scientist doesn't do missions, and I have nothing to say to the russian.
Vladimir, the Black guy running the satellite, is a little like Sarah in that (prolly through bad dialogue choices) he is stand-offish and snarky.
So then I just play the damn game like I do my laundry, washing stuff twice.
Pointless and boring.
I should prolly read https://www.gamesradar.com/starfield-romances-relationships/ but, I don't actually care...

Let's say you had a secret room that the kids got into and played around in.
That's the multiverse-hopping Starborn.
But who owns/owned the fancy room (the nexus of multiverses)?

The higher-ups at (uh) "Starfield"-inc really need to work on the concept, but kudos to the underling slave-workers slaving away on the art and the dialog.
Pointless though it is. At the end of my current playthrough, there is the option to remove the dorothy-shoes from the dryer (remove the artifacts from the armillary)

and go wherever I want.
But where would I go?
I barely knew "Constellation," but I'd feel obliged to at least say goodbye.
To the doddering asshole, the middle-aged has-been, the clueless robot, the egoist,

To the doddering asshole, the middle-aged has-been, the clueless robot, the egoist,
and some really nice minions who never gave me the time-of-day.
Ya know what?
Fuck'em, nevermind.
Fuck'em, nevermind.
The heavy-handed moral is becoming apparent, that to really enjoy their game, you must embrace nested quests, puzzles.

Could you help me:
Turn on a light-switch?
Kill the spider blocking the switch?
Fix the appliance you just broke toggling the switch?
Here's a quarter for your trouble.
Ya know, you really oughta talk to Nancy, the head of the power switches;

| Is it a spaceship? A disney-castle? No! It's a "temple." To whom and for what purpose, IDK |

| Lockpicks, money (and a gun 00329ABB) (and "ship parts" 0003FB19) TBA Starborn Spacesuit "Venator" 0021C77F, which I am about to try, skipping over all playthroughs (You have to repeat forever to get "Venator") Games can get lonely but that's to be expected. Games can have endless nested quests (but this is ridiculous) It's like, it's all pointless anyway (so, shoot that old lady, Blow up the moon) Also (you only heard it here) "additem" does not need leading zeroes; "player.additem f 100" is just dandy. Misc codes (there are so many that harvesting a chosen few is problematic) But once you've done the "PSB" thing, your skills are useless and weak until you "Player.addperk 25E19E" for example (upgrades the reactive shield)   I think the game has followed protocol: Win and get a (useless) sword/uniform/space-suit. |
Or you could always start over (But isn't that already what I've been doing?)
Badass gun, richer-than-god,
Best space suit, everything else is meaningless.
player.modav PlayerUnityTimesEntered 10 gives you the best spacesuit, best ship but by then you're beyond caring. Seriously.
It's as if, you finally get a dress suit and shoes, after you die, for your funeral.
Games have been designed this way since forever, but The pointlessness is still there.
Plus I don't know (yet) about magically getting a spaceship, but the spacesuit is no problem.
player.placeatme 00363CA9 (Guardian 6 ship, but I think it's easier than that)
Use the command player.paycrimegold 0 0 5BD93 to pay off UC sec (It's a mandatory quest where you're forced into the criminal world, nvm)
Get yelled at, made fun of, imprisoned, who wouldn't want that?

To log into Synchrony, which is Amazon's current bank (I've been told), this useless indian guy (filthy rich guy judging from the commercials he tacks onto his useless videos), uh, anyway he says to clear cookies and the cache.
It becomes a chore then to go here or anywhere else, suddenly everyone is paranoid, and you forgot what you wanted to do...O yeah, log into synchrony, which still doesn't work (for me).
The indian guy is prolific, if it's the same guy, and I think it is (all the videos are useless and boring)

"Type in your name and your password" he suggests three minutes into the video, with nine minutes remaining.
Quora/reddit (except for the "*I* have no problems" guy, who flies from site to site with superhuman speed, to declare quickly that he has no problems) say that this is a common problem, and suggest (I already know this but it's reassuring) that you log into Amazon/wherever and check from there, and *suddenly* Synchrony is more accommodating.
*Why* does this matter?
A "favorites" button and my password cache used to be able to log me into synchrony quickly, to (uh) check the hidden charges (interest) or withheld payments.
And *this* month I am so close to the limit, that they could, prolly would, tack on an overlimit charge once they post their interest.

| Greedy sob's |
Bombastic statisticians prognosticate
that it might rain / might not rain much (they're really not sure)
So, what's with the headline news?
It's like a familiar-type of movie you go see that you've never seen before,
"Sleepless in Seattle" with a twist.

| It might rain, it might not, six-zillion dollars, pleez |

| Warm-dry vs wet, it's a thing they talk about. |
