The worst password idea I ever had was to actually write a script to generate 256 random characters, including special characters, to use for my WiFi password. I didn't realize that in the near future, I would have devices that needed WiFi but couldn't accept a cut and paste of the password because they had no USB ports or GUI that would allow it.
Manually entering WiFi passwords on "Smart TVs" and other devices sucks by the way.
Is there a name for the entire class of nonsensical debates like "is a thumb a finger?" or "is [x] a sandwich?", and if so what do we call those? (besides pointless and annoying) #RandomThoughts
It seems contradictory to me that at many schools, you can get a bachelor of arts or a bachelor of science in the same field. Which is it? Is the field an art or science? #RandomThoughts#Linguistics#Academia
Our thumbs moving across screens. Day in. Day out. Our energy devoted to serving the machines and their overlords. Reality itself being distorted by virtual, augmented and generated alternatives.
The overlords don't even have to hide their ambitions anymore. Whatever they speak is gospel.
The Matrix was not a warning of a future to come where we are hooked up to machines, emptied of our energy to serve the desired immortality of our own oppressors.
Idea: A service that supplies people to sit with rich people in their home theaters and hog their arm rests, talk during the movie, and place and receive phone calls on their mobile devices during the movie. #RandomThoughts
I kind of miss sometimes how in the old place, random celebrities would sometimes pop up in my mentions (even some of the ones I didn't know were celebrities and had to look up) 🤪 #RandomThoughts
Do these guys on Ancient Aliens actually believe what they're saying?
Wikipedia tells me that Giorgio Tsoukalos is a former professional fight promoter. That sort of explains the hair too—a la Don King? Makes me think it's all just entertainment for ratings.
Either way… I love the absurdity of it all. It's not really hate watching, but I don't quite have another word for it. It's one of my favorite genres of fiction. 🤪
Why do sci-fi artists design aerodynamic spaceships like mother ships that are never going to land? Aerodynamics really doesn't matter a whole lot in space.
Also, why would these ships need a discernable top and bottom? There is no real up or down for most of your interstellar travel.
When I was in my 20s I didn't know what to say. When I hit 30s, I thought I had a lot to say. And I said a lot. But by the time I was well into my 40s I wasn't sure I had much to say at all.
At 54 tender years of age, I believe I am less confident in my own opinions than I've been since I was a kid. On one hand, it's good to be humble and admit you don't know things. But also age does bring wisdom, sometimes. You should trust yourself a little bit more often, dumbass. #randomthoughts
