At least that works for me. And boy-howdy is that a loud THWAP.

Huh. If I copy/paste the URL into Safari, I can get sound, but I still don’t see any controls. I want to know how to make this work in Chrome. Maybe there’s a setting?

Video game related schadenfreude that happened just a few hours ago. In the game Fortnite, there’s an ongoing Halloween event that gives you rewards for doing specific challenges. Normally, you’d get xp for doing them, but someone messed up and accidentally basically gave people 35 free levels for the season pass items. It normally takes a few weeks of playing a few hours a day to get them, or you can buy the levels with real world money. The glitch was patched pretty quickly and everybody who did it is allowed to keep them.

The real schadenfreude is all the kids on Reddit and the official forums having absolute meltdowns over missing the glitch and generally a lot of tears are involved. Highlights include kids screaming about how they’re going to uninstall the game or demanding their money back.

One particularly good quote is this:

“Ok, i hope you fuckers go bankrupt. Never let bug abusers keep their stuff, or give it to everyone. "earned " lmao they just landed at a location. I hope fortnite dies”

The last line in the commercial is "keep the change." He's salivating for the tips.

Why try get so exact when filling your car with fuel? It's just a number. You don't try get exactly $7 worth of grapes or what ever at the supermarket. Unless you do have exactly that amount of money but otherwise a few cents difference isn't going to matter.

Small change is annoying and if you are a few cents above a round number, you get a lot of it.

It's still not worth calling the police because you didn't want to break :10bux:

I'm sure the blowback will be as devastating to Fortnite as the "Boycott COD Modern Warfare 2 for no dedicated servers" thing was back in the day.

It keeps happening.

quote:

A North Carolina woman has been dubbed “South Park Susan” after harassing two black sisters waiting for AAA outside an apartment complex in south Charlotte.
Videos of the incident, which were shared by Chele Garris on Facebook, show the woman repeatedly asking the sisters, “Do you live here?” before telling them “I’m white … and I make $125,000 a year and I want to make sure that you’re all up in here.”

Phone posting or I’d post more.

It looks like that's an Apple News link and it won't work (maybe it will on iOS, but not on macOS at least).

Here's an article with more information.

quote:

A CMPD spokesman said Saturday four criminal summons’ have been issued for the woman - two counts of communicating threats and two counts of simple assault. The website of the Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office shows warrants matching that description were issued for Susan Westwood on October 21.

According to WBTV, Westwood’s employer Spectrum says it has terminated her.

A man was mountain biking in the woods and was shot by a hunter and died. This was what his mother posted on Facebook:

To be clear, he didn't beat and rape his mother, but a girl he grew up with the mother knew well. His mother "knew he was a s*** child," though.
