I thought mine was pretty good...

I don't know how rebooting a shoe is supposed to work, but I think something's gone horribly wrong if you need to. Also, where the hell would any of the parts go? Beneath the sole, where the entire computer part can get turned into PCB cereal?

So there's a tanning studio nearby that I was walking past today, and I noticed that the little a-frame sign they had outside stated that they were "Open from 0-24!".

...which, y'know, would imply that they're running on some kind of crazy 25-hour day. Now we know where all those daylight savings go to; they're being used in tanning studios!

Try knocking on their door at start of the witching hour. See if you get drawn into a pair of adventures that each take about 25 minutes plus commercial breaks, without any time passing in the outside world. I don't know what sort of adventures you can have at a tanner's, but they're sure to be magical!

I'd be careful. What if it's the kind of a tanning studio that requires raw hides?

Just kick something really hard, should do the trick

You know how a lot of electronics, like routers, have a small hole that has a hard reset button inside? It's too small to touch with your fingers, so you have to use something like a toothpick to reset it.

What I'm saying is you should first put a toothpick underneath your big toenail, THEN kick something really hard for optimal resetting.

Be careful, doing that may void the warranty.

Internet of things is great.  Get an old burner laptop and rent an apartment somewhere affluent and start mining bitcoin off people's unsecured wifi refrigerators and ceiling fans

[wierd]

Just use a virtual machine with a fake MAC.   Much easier and cheaper.  Bonus points for using a linux live usb stick, so there is no traceable evidence left on the laptop.


(Wonders just how much processing power is in these "smart shoes", and what kinds of sensors they have. If each shoe has a wifi antenna, it adds a whole new spin to 'sneaker net'. It also means that bearing and velocity of individuals wearing them could be calculated by measuring the attenuation of known wifi hotspot locations over time, especially if the shoes have been hacked to upload those statistic to a drop-off some place. It could even be better than that done with smartphones, since you have a pair of antennas to work with.)

"Protein-rich food is generally healthy food"

"Sugar-free soda is the absolute best choice for overall wellbeing, and can even suppress sugar cravings"

He says a lot of actually decent things as well, like to get other people (particularly professionals) involved in your process, try to find nutritious foods you enjoy, and don't try to shoot for the usually unrealistic goal of 100% cutting out every "unhealthy" thing in your life.

But holy fucksticks, Batman.

[Loud Whispers]

It's 100% easy peasy depending on what you're used to

The Hu are apparently coming to Oslo.

I mean, plenty of other names as well, but... I still think it's funny that a Mongolian band is coming to Norway of all places.

Got off work an hour early, and am also getting off an hour early tomorrow. No idea why, but apparently the order came from the regional manager.
