OT: 109th Obsequious Banter Thread: In the Driver's Seat

Man, the new All Quiet on the Western Front on Netflix was terrific.

I'm torn on this. It definitely captured the feel of WW1, and the effects were obviously fantastic, but on the other hand, it wasn't really a great adaptation of the book. Particularly the ending.

Spoiler

Changing the day Paul died to Armistice Day runs totally counter-intuitive to the entire point of the title. Normally I'd write a big rant here, but the Canes game is on and that's distracting me. I may or may not revisit this later.

How about we pivot to this then?

Where's Marmaduke? I demand a recount.

The only correct answer is courage. He fought literal ghosts and demons to protect his family.

It was 8am. It's too f***ing early to say that to anyone.

She definitely got that from her dad

In Japan, pet fish playing Nintendo Switch run up bill on owner's credit card | CNN

Pet fish playing a video game in Japan managed to log on to the Nintendo Switch store, change their owner's avatar, set up a Pay Pal account and rack up a credit card bill.

www.cnn.com

The fish in question belong to a YouTuber known as Mutekimaru, whose channel is popular with the gaming community for its videos featuring groups of tetra fish that “play” video games.

Mutekimaru had previously installed sophisticated motion detection tracking software in fish tanks, enabling the fish to remotely control a Nintendo Switch console.

But the technology, and the fishes’ apparent mastery of it, led to an unexpected turn of events earlier this month while Mutekimaru was live-streaming a game of Pokémon.

Mutekimaru had stepped away for a break when the game crash

During the next seven hours, the fish reportedly managed to change the name of their owner’s Switch account before twice logging into the Nintendo store, where users can purchase games and other downloadable content.

They also managed to “check” legal terms and conditions, downloaded a new avatar and even set up a PayPal account from the Switch – sending an email out to their owner in the process, video from the livestream appeared to show.

But things didn’t end there. The fish were also seen adding 500 yen ($4) to Mutekimaru’s Switch account from his credit card during the livestream – exposing his credit card details in the process, the YouTuber revealed in a follow-up video about the episode.

Mmmhmm... So all of this happened to occur with the human 'off-screen', oddly convenient that the fish is able to log into an account, change avatars and then make purchases? lol.

Raw beets? Celery is bullshit but I’m sure there are quite a few more.
I don’t know who invented crunchy water with strings in it, but they need a stern talking to.
