I’m not sure it fits 100% with what you’re looking for, but I’ll take chance and recommend Slice & Dice (Google Play, Apple App Store). Free demo, no ads, single in-app purchase to unlock the full version. This game is easily the best value-for-dollar mobile game I’ve ever purchased.

Oh for sure, those are a communal resource.

Because the toxins your body is reacting to are already in your bloodstream. It’ll take time for those to get metabolized by your liver, and how much or little you vomit won’t change how much work your liver has to do.

have they fixed that yet?

They likely never will, because as far as Google is concerned that’s a feature instead of a bug. You’re at their mercy as long as you’re using their launcher. Personally, I switched to Niagara Launcher for this exact reason.

One of my grandfathers worked for a telephone company before he passed. That man was an absolute pack rat, he wouldn’t throw anything away. So naturally he had boxes and boxes of punch cards in this basement. I guess they were being thrown out when his employer upgraded to machines that didn’t need punch cards, so he snagged those to use as note paper. I will say, they were great for taking notes. Nice sturdy card stock, and the perfect dimensions for making a shopping list or the like.

…is this loss?

He was a raging alcoholic who hid his illness from the medical professionals who examined him as part of his Super Size Me “experiment.” A lifetime of booze did way more damage than 30 days of McDs possibly could.

I’d definitely agree that it’s a Pit Bull cross with a shepherd of some kind. The shape of the face definitely suggests Pit Bull to me, but I get more of a Belgian Malinois vibe from those ears:

Could explain why two hours at a dog park didn’t crush his energy levels, Malinois are renowned and/or notorious for their exercise needs.

I haven’t actually tried the new ones, I probably should do that before I slander them. The Harvest Cheddar ones were so good though. I haven’t seen them in at least a few years, unfortunately.

I noticed that Miss Vickie’s has a new sour cream something or other flavour in a bag that’s the same colour, or nearly so. Every time I go through the chip aisle I get very excited for a second, then I realize it’s not actually the Harvest Cheddar and my hopes are dashed. I’m developing an irrational hatred of those impostor chips.

Apparently some historians got so tired of keeping track of all the individual Ottoman genocides, massacres and pogroms that they’ve lumped them all together into the Late Ottoman genocides. To be fair though, that umbrella also includes plenty of Muslim populations getting much the same treatment in the Christian countries created as the Ottoman Empire contracted.

That was actually the rest of the comic:

Hey, leave Laura Palmer out of this, she’s been through enough already.

“Pungent bouquet, with an earthy flavour.”

Good for cheese, depending on your tastes. Almost certainly bad in other contexts.

The plow. It allowed early river valley peoples to generate semi-reliable food surpluses, and those food surpluses triggered everything that came after. I can’t take credit for this argument, I first encountered it in this episode from the first season of Connections.

This seems a lot more plausible to me. Exit wounds tend to be pretty gory.

The image on the right is a fake. If dude could grow a beard that looked anywhere near that good, he would’ve done it years ago.

There is a Unicode Technical Standard for this, called the Unicode Collation Algorithm. Whether everyone uses it, I can’t say. As it says on the linked page:

Conformance to the Unicode Standard does not imply conformance to any UTS.

So in other words it’s possible to conform to the Unicode Standard without adhering to the Unicode Collation Algorithm.

whatever this is: ¦

That is the pipe symbol, or vertical bar. When it has a gap in the middle it may be known as the broken pipe symbol or broken bar. It’s considered the same symbol with or without the gap. Early terminals displayed it with a gap to make it distinguishable from lower-case L characters.

Jesus, what a bunch of needless “security”

I disagree with this part. Ticket theft is an actual issue, there are lots of ways to get a copy of someone else’s barcode and either use it before they do or (more likely) sell it to someone else online. TicketMaster’s marketing is talking up the increased security to distract from their true purpose, which is of course to find more ways to take more money from fans. Of course it’s debatable whether the increased security is worth the decreased convenience for ticketholders. That is the inevitable tension when it comes to security, where any increase in security always incurs at least some cost in terms of convenience.

This is all for personal data mining.

TicketMaster might be selling user data, but I don’t think that’s their main aim. They want control of the resale market so they can take a cut when tickets are resold. Note how they don’t allow direct transfers between two mobile wallets, they only allow transfers using their app. That’s so they can monitor transfers. If they see someone transferring dozens or hundreds of tickets to many other TicketMaster users then that person is likely reselling and they can clamp down on their account. TicketMaster’s true intent is to force all resales onto their ticket marketplace, because that’s where they get to take a cut of resales.
