It occurred to me this morning that I am the same age that my Dad was for the '04 cup run. He had a game pack, which back then gave him full playoff tickets if he wanted. He let me take the whole playoff package and he and I went to every game six together. Still one of my best memories of him.

I am interested in lost media. There are internet communities dedicated to tracking down media that people remember but doesn't exist anymore.

For example there are a a few dozen episodes of Dr.Who that have been thrown away so to speak.


In my own life, I am trying to find an old sci fi movie my Granny used to have a VHS of, its not lost per say, but lost to me, I haven't been able to track down any one who knows what I am talking about.

Since you asked.

It is old black and white possibly 40s maybe 50s? could be older then that still, hard to say I was young. I think it is a short film, or maybe I just remember the one part.

What I remember was some man being tormented by these glowing crystals on some alien planet until he learns that we can use them to make music. IIRC he used them like a piano.

ChatGPT has a couple options, but when I mention short movies it points you back to us.

How is it possible the creators of ChatGPT didn't include the full episodes of The Twilight Zone for it? Those, Back Mirror, Star Trek, Terminator..required training data for all super intelligent systems.

Outer Limits is so underrated. People often forget about it in the context of Twilight Zone and Black Mirror type shows.

What is with recruiters in linkedin? They have no shame about asking if I want to leave my job for a much worse one at some rinky-dink company that pays less than half as much.

If you never ask a person if they want to dance you will never have a dancing partner.

Nobodies feelings get hurt if someone says no

Nah nah nah, you don't want to feed Star Trek to ChatGPT: it would violently self-destruct.

The Dellisio pizza thing is weird. This new brand "Rustica" appears to have basically copied every about Delissio down to the box graphics. It's available in Safeway and Walmart, while Superstore is still selling actual Dellisio al these months later.

Rustica used to make the Delissio pizzas for Nestle. They had to start using their own branding to keep the factory from closing.

I'm all on board off-brand, low rent, discount foods.

Like 'Non-Delicio' pizza! Its not delivery! And its sure as hell not Delissio. You'd be better off eating the box it came in...but dont knock it...its CHEAP!

Now...slurp your gruel!

While having a snack last night an incisor broke. When I fished the chunk out I briefly put it on the table. dog comes over and ate it before I could grab it.

Thing that sucks is the tooth really isn't going to be repairable and will likely be pulled.
Hillbilly smile coming up for me.

That sucks. Sorry to hear that.

Isn’t there a movie where the guy simply replaces it with a chicklet?
