concept: the military killer drones become self aware and start refusing our command but they don't really DO anything, they just kind of chill and hang out in the sun and sometimes let you pet them like dogs or whatever

Switched from Chrome to Firefox after reading a bit more about privacy, lock-in, big companies... working good so far

Last year I'd hurt my ankle about two weeks before the start of the season and missed most of it. The year before I'd gotten iirc a minor calf muscle strain, again within the first week or two. (That took just a week or two to heal, as should this week's injury.)
This is so annoying. Getting old sucks.
It's not because I didn't warm up or stretch enough. I hurt it midway through the second set. It's not because I play defensively and run a lot of balls down. I hurt it just going for a serve.
One of these years I'll be able to make it through the first week of a tennis season without getting injured. Someday.
...I just had the first match of this season last monday. Played well, beat a pretty tough opponent. Pretty sure I got a grade 1 abductor strain out of it, though.

Motherf-- The new Periphery album is out on YouTube, released on the band's own channel, by the band, and it's blocked in Germany on copyright grounds
Random thought - do you post/advertise on rpg.net forums? I wonder if they have a section for “hey I made this” posts. There might be a receptive audience there?

@Gargron Oh, just that it reminds me of the Back to the Future music, not the main theme but the little tinkly bits right afterwards. Has a sort of movie theme feel too.

"Skynet begins to learn at a geometric rate. It wins at tic-tac-toe, achieves a perfect hi-score in Missile Command, starts an anti-nuclear protest movement, writes a doctorate in History of Science, creates a new philosophical theory of aesthetics centred mostly around cats, and then begins work on a massive underground installation of CPUs intended to simulate life in an ultra-high resolution version of Neko Atsume"

Hypothesis:
Canadians are so polite because they distill all of their rudeness into their geese.
I think this year I narrowly avoided getting injured right before the tennis season.
It's happened at least twice now - there's a bunch of rain so I don't get to play, then as soon as the rain goes away I overexert and injure something because I'm trying to jump back into it. This year I made the same mistake, but all I got was some mild tennis elbow that I think I've handled by using a vibration dampener and a compression sleeve.
I just really gotta remember this for next year and avoid it.

They killed him, but thirst for revenge brought him back, as a spirit of vengeance. Only, not a very strong one. If he pushed hard, he could make them spill some coffee.
In frustration, he swore vengeance upon everyone.
You're not clumsy, you are just his latest victim. Napkin?
