The passkey on your phone stopped working when you set one up on your laptop? I would expect the site to allow one per device instead of one per account.

I will never forget 9/11 2017 when Ted Cruz shared his like of incest porn with the world. It almost humanized him after he endorsed the guy calling his wife is ugly.

Yes, if friends. Unless they are repeating themselves, I'm going to be interested at least a little. Coworkers, no. I'll be polite and sympathetic but if it is not related to work I am unlikely to be interested and will try to bring the conversation back to work topics or end the conversation as soon as I can without being rude. Randos, maybe but probably not. I've met lots of interesting people and am always kind of interested in hearing about the human experience from anyone who want to share theirs, but really I think I got too old or jaded for that. I avoid interacting with random strangers if its a choice now, and am always at least a little skeptical of whatever bullshit someone I don't know has to say to me. I try not to be rude expressing my disinterest but I will be if it feels appropriate or necessary.

I've seen Ted Cruz eat a booger.

Ball color and size, and table shape and color were the only things I distinctly pictured, and the ball being deformed when pushed. Everything else was still sort of abstracted and not specifically visualized, and the table color changed to improve the contrast as I imagined the scene. If I stop and really focus on the scene I think I would fill in more specific details but at my pace of reading that's as far as it went. I think unless I have a reason to do otherwise I tend to visualize the minimum necessary.

Impossible to say but Harris is winning the popular vote for sure. I think however it goes there's going to be some chaos and violence, I wouldn't be surprised if there's blatant attempts by MAGA cultists to sabotage what they can and drag out the vote counting and electoral processes. Its probably going to be a shitshow, and possibly a horrorshow. I don't expect it to be called on election night unless its a significant and obvious win, which currently seems very unlikely. I would be less surprised if there was a terrorist attack on election night than a clear and obvious conclusion to the election.

Congress I think Dems are likely to outperform, the RNC is no longer what it was and doesn't have the ground game they used to. All their money and resources have been sucked into the black hole of Trumps campaign.

Song title, probably not. Names covered by a trademark or existing copyright or with an obvious connection to existing IP, probably yes. Especially if you're making money with it or doing something that can be construed as competition with the trademark or copyright holder. The specifics will depend on the details but its usually not a good idea, or if you do it then be prepared to cease and desist because you will likely get a letter in the mail telling you you're getting sued if you don't. If its obvious parody or satire that changes things a bit, or adds further complications and a potential defense you can use if sued.

I love mine but the cats often like jumping out so litter gets kicked out occasionally. Other than that, and that it stops working during power outages, it's great. Changing a bag is so much easier to deal with than scooping litter.

Stand mixer. It's so much easier to mix things now and I make less of a mess.

This looks great except they don't mention the FOV anywhere. That makes me suspect its not great. For that kind of price they should be more forthcoming on what you are actually preordering. Especially with a history of not delivering, and a no refunds policy.

They don't even mention that he's a Republican until 7 paragraphs into the article.

Listening to an audiobook helps me in those situations. Ideally something a little boring but still engaging enough to keep me distracted.
