I can kind of see Pollock but Rothko - Come on! (TBF never seen one in person, hear there's "depth" but I only see two colors)

I dry shaved today. But it was a Bic, not Occam.

TIL that there are popular social media posts claiming that in Denmark if a person finds a lost child they can claim the child as their own if a parent does not turn up within 2 hours.

These posts are false and have fooled many people.

Had to FYI a younger lady in early 30’s that the elites at the top of the Nazi reign were billionaires for taking art, gold, other assorted treasures throughout Europe while separating people based on being selected within groups. Had to tell her that history self repeats where those at the top who keep requiring those at the bottom to be more accountable for their actions.

Had to tell her that when the Titanic was told to risk going faster even though icebergs were a danger, the Titanic sped up. Who were given life rafts and who were not. She had no idea that those at the top giving orders were not accountable for their actions in court though a Michigan “I believe Senator (Smith)” called the coward who escaped a Killer.

TIL that Eddie George was in a Steven Seagal movie titled Into The Sun.

TIL the baseball rookie card is a varied belief system with many practitioners who cannot abide by heretical dissent. Leadership studies ancient texts that reference Pecunia de Bowman while the layfolk settle for arcane sigils Rho and Chi passed on through oral tradition that is regarded as the topp authority to an almost fanatical degree.

Today I Learned that there is a custom option when setting the playback speed on Youtube.

You can set the speed in 0.05 increments.

Today I learned the opossum that's been living in my back yard the past couple of years is likely actually many different opossums. Apparently, they are generally transient animals that move around every couple of days.

I guess now I know why it never seemed to learn it's name.

This is a peak Blowout post.

Today I learned that, since mazes are made of two pieces (two separate sets of connecting lines which themselves do not touch), you can solve any digital maze instantly by opening it up in Photoshop and using the paint fill option on either side.

Pretty sure we've got new rabbits! I've been waiting for them to come back since the winter, and this new guy looks pretty young. They could be relations.

I, hairysasquatch, was wrong to doubt that Bowman University Best Football would be released.

I am deeply chagrined by the inaccuracy of my hot take and accept the full consequences of my actions in misleading the clecting community.

I have found out that you can be suspended for a week on the Blizzard forums for disparaging another commenter's likely bedroom performance based on how they write.

I have found out you can be be suspended for a month on Facebook for sharing funny memes about serial killers.

The first one wasn't much of a surprise, the second one was.

Today I learned prices are up because the government is spending too much printed money.
