No selfie sticks allowed

posted in computing, politics |

There is so much I don’t understand, when it comes to playing games on the computer. I was just told (see if I can keep this straight) that if you buy your upgrade in a box, the character starts at 100, but if you download the upgrade, your character is much weaker, and you have to play for a while to get the value up to 100. Am I missing something here? About playing?

Moving right along. I had another day of glue moments, and right now all that remains is to place the snares (nothing to do with rabbits) before closing in the box. Assuming that my skills in countersinking screw holes are adequate, I could have a playable instrument by tomorrow evening. Just in time to start the various stages of oiling and buffing the wood. But seriously, I can sense progress. In comparison with the gaming thing, I could have also bought the product, in a box, already finished. Getting new skills in woodworking are worth every penny I’ve saved.

Another one of those “summits” happening; this time in China. Seems to be about playing one-upmanship with the peers; making the big guy leave by the back door of his private jet, prohibiting selfie sticks, asking lots of questions to journalists about their intentions (that’s a role reversal, for sure). I won’t be watching the televised moments, for sure, because the newspapers can tell me all I really need to know.

The safety experts tell me that my new BBQ brush is unsafe at any speed. I now have to master the art of crumpling tinfoil and polishing my grills with that. A question: do I have to do this while temperatures are at or below searing levels?
