Rebooting universe

Please restop your computer.

You stopped it once but, looks like it didn't take, it's still going.

I mean we've teleported one quantum bit 44 kilometres over a fibre-optic cable, with a fidelity of 90%,

so just how much harder could it possibly be to teleport an entire living human at 100% fidelity 394.82 million km through hard vacuum

sure it might be a *little* harder, but, that's just an Engineering problem, not a hard one like Marketing.

I have nothing against billionaires. Some of my best friends are billionaires.

Well they might be if I knew any.

Ok maybe not "best" friends.

They'd get tired of me always asking where the secret tunnel to the Mars base teleporter is and me not believing that they don't have one.

Stands to reason, you make your first billion, you get a Mars teleport key. When you make your second billion you get a 30min oxygen tank (one).

That's how NASA pays for it, with the tanks. Like inkjet cartridges.

C'mon people, we can't let Wellington win! It's WELLINGTON.

Get your vaccine shot. It's the only way we can stop Wellington.

If the Flash multiverse thing works out for DC, will a sequel to The Batman be called

Ooh, Black Widow now free to stream on Disney+! That one's going on my to-watch list.

(The only thing on Disney+ I want to watch actually).

The American minister who first coined the term "What would Jesus do?" (in 1897) was a socialist, feminist and vegetarian.

The Windows 10 Start Menu is NOT "Unreasonable Search and Seizure", because,

you typed a keystroke, one entire keystroke, making it a Search, so it's quite reasonable that if a computer tries to process that much data, it's going to have a seizure

<< Antiseptic Kisses in Hollywood To fool the flu, during a recent epidemic, movie kisses were rehearsed behind antiseptic masks. Since each kiss must be rehearsed about 20 times before the cameras turn, it was said that four out of five flu germs would be prevented from spreading. Stanley Morton and Betty Furness are shown here. >>

(and even if I had a fringe text editor with an expandy tabstop plugin, I sure don't want my tabstops resetting every time I enter a blank line! good lord no.)

Man I wish expandy tabstops were a common dependable thing in text editors

It's so often that I want to just enter text into grid cells and there's just... no easy simple way to do this.

I don't wanna boot up a whole spreadsheet or wordpro just to get text in a grid!

why are simple things so hard

I shouldn't keep thinking of ways to save JSON because it just brings me pain

But sometimes life gives you JSON-lemons and they're not yet flammable.

I am thinking of some terrible, evil abuses of the string key field of JSON objects in order to overload it as a Turing-complete programming language.

There's probably nothing I could imagine that's worse than what's currently deployed somewhere in some trendy Javascript cloud automation framework

Probably.
