Capticity - Day 89 Don't Trust the Aardvarks



Remember alarm clocks?  Before phones?
The things that wound up or had an LED display?
When you were late, you could blame the alarm.
Not so much now - it's not like your phone forgets to alarm you or runs late.
Except mine.
I jumped up, checked the time, and ran like mad. THEN the alarm went off.
20 minutes late.
HOW does a phone's alarm go off late?


Idiotic Idea of the Day
"instead of sending 2 police officers, send 1 police officer and 1 social worker.

For the most part, we do not negotiate with terrorists.
Why are we negotiating with Seattle protesters?



It's, without a doubt, another one of those days.
You know it's not going well when the first thing you do is pick up a trash can and the entire contents fall out and decorate the stairwell. Then a 6' piece of heavy plastic spontaneously throws itself to the ground. Open the fridge and an open soda launches itself at you before you are awake. The 7am mower, and your tjnryping has gone to hell (further), tripping on everything (even things that aren't there). I'm trying to ignore the smaller bits of stuff that have levitated and are singing - what's worse is I don't like the songs. Yesterday too.  If this keeps up, I will need either a great idea for revenge, or a painless way out. I can burn it, but sleeping is difficult on the lawn.


When you have to make a window bigger or smaller, you grab the outside of the window. To move it, you grab the top bar of the window. People have trouble grabbing the outside of the window because it requires fine movement. I have no problem; I hit the outside most of the time. It's hard for me to hit the top bar.
I. Do. Not. Do. Drugs.



Apple is reopening 70 stores. You are required to wear a very expensive, upscale mask to enter the stores.

Ok, I've had my fun - let me show you something impressive: You can say 'Hey  Siri, I'm getting pulled over' and the iDevice will record the stop and send a location.



Vice President Mike "Praise the Lord" Pence says the Flying AIDS numbers are too high because of testing. Either this is really complex or incredibly stupid (I'd go for the latter). "There was no flu til we started testing for it. As we tested the numbers went up." Does your head hurt too?


If you have T-Mobil, you had an outage yesterday.
The head of the FCC is pissed. He said it's unacceptable and is launching an investigation, which is more than he's done since he got the job. Mark my words: if they are found guilty, there will be some serious wrist slapping.


Scientists Say Most Likely Number of Contactable Alien Civilizations Is 36.
Coincidentally, this is the same number of people who can put together Ikea products.



If you are a customer of  Cougary, Gay Daddy Bear, Xpal, BBW Dating, Casualx, SugarD, Herpes Dating, and GHunt. In all, the researchers found 845 gigabytes and close to 2.5 million records, your data is open to the internet. Hopefully the data will be locked down shortly, but that's closing the barn door after the hay got out.


The lady who set 2 police cars on fire during the Philly riot was found and now has charges against her.  


CNN: Flush carefully. Study suggests coronavirus could spread in spray from toilet.


By centering the cuisines of immigrants and Black people, Padma Lakshmi's new show Taste the Nation feels like a direct response to the overwhelming whiteness of American food media, writes @scaachi






Can we all get along?
