I know which city used to be Constantinople, thanks to They Might Be Giants!

How appropriate. You’ve aged like a cow.

I’ve found it helpful at work for things like preparing agendas for meetings, or creating an outline of a presentation or document I need to write.

I’ve also found it helpful when I’m trying to Google something where I need to be pretty specific and then I can’t find exactly what I mean by searching.

Here’s something totally bizarre that you might it might not care about.

The other day I brought up Metroid on the Nintendo Switch NES app (the one that lets you play some NES games with an online subscription.) After playing for a bit, I wanted to show him the Justin Bailey code. But I couldn’t remember it exactly at first. So I tried it in various cases, and when I enter the code with all lowercase letters, it crashed the game.

No idea if it’ll do that for everyone, or if it did that on the actual NES, but I tried it a few times and it crashed everything.

For reference, I entered in the code like this:

justin bailey
------ ------

But the actual code is:

JUSTIN BAILEY
------ ------

I received the offer on my 16 year old Reddit account, but not on another account I have that’s more like 12. Not sure if they went by account age or activity or what.

I did not try to get in on the IPO (or pre-IPO.)

I can see this being an on-again/off-again situation for a long time. When Rs are in power they’ll remove it, and when Ds are in power they’ll restore it. We need something like this to be enshrined in the law of the land, but more and more it feels like that isn’t ever going to be possible as everything will be open to re-interpretation forever.

Every time I hear people worried about the robot uprising, I remember the time Google Location couldn’t figure out what method of transportation I was using for 2 and a half hours between the Santa Ana, CA airport and the Denver, CO airport.
