christian fennesz and ryuichi sakamoto both start wearing wraparound shades and matching outfits to compliment their similar hair textures. and lots of keytars... frequent keytar changes between songs.

Haha
You'd think that you could just change the keytar settings to change the sounds, but no, they switch to entirely new keytars

"Risk" actually seems like a viable premise for a show. Set it in the Gilded Age...people insuring railway and steamship cargo, lots of interesting period settings and novelties to spin episodes out of, like all the trivia in The Great Train Robbery, plus the rising tide of disgruntled Progressivism could give it an edge of present-day social commentary with scenes lifted out of The Octopus and The Jungle, etc. Plus, lots of fin-de-siecle sex.

mad men-style period drama about an insurance company called "Risk" where all of the actuaries are obsessed with the popular board game Risk - to the detriment of their work productivity. John Laroquette stars as the office manager who is determined to get his employees back on task. But it turns out that he is also getting into Risk to the detriment of HIS productivity!

I had this wacky idea a few years ago for a device like a CPU heatsink that you'd attach to your wrist to keep you cool in summer. But I dismissed it as being stupid. Now it turns out that not doing something about was a terrible idea, because I could have been doing this at MIT:

gradually, over the course of 7 or 8 years, change my pronunciation of the word "part" so that it instead becomes "fart". this would need to be done so slowly that the pronunciation would not be noticeably different from day to day, and close friends would hardly notice it, but by the end of the process i'm just straight up saying "fart".
example schedule:year one - partyear two - parthyear three - parthphyear four - arthphyear five - farthph (<arguably the key transition, the "all in" that requires the most courage),year six - farthyear seven - fart
simultaneously, i become a scholar of The Godfather series of films. at year seven, having gained a solid amount of respect from the community of filmlovers, i am invited to give an important lecture. i proceed to deliver a talk that references The Godfather Fart Two repeatedly. later in the Q&A, i am asked why i keep saying "fart" and i say "have i really been saying 'fart' for all these years?"
