your terrible ideas

haha yes

it's great right? i'm impatient for the next volume.

seems perverse to say I'm enjoying reading about such grim events, but there it is. It's filling in a lot of gaps in my knowledge about various points - the convoluted Feb/Oct Revolution/WWI period has always been hard for me to wrap my head around, for example. I find myself referring to maps a lot while reading it lol.

Honestly, I think your idea was better.

could have a whole space program feature - Sputnik satellite/magnet picks up ball and orbits board. Nuclear arms negotiations for ramps (4 more to re-start SALT talks!)

i think you would really, really like the board game Twilight Struggle

it is a really good game. if anyone is in the philly area my copy does not get enough use.

I've played it once, like five years ago and it's still a vivid experience in my brain.

whoah wtf never heard of this

A rapper who literally murders another rapper named Baby Roc, then releases a single called "I Murdered Baby Roc" in which the lyrics are just a non-veiled, straightforward description of the events of the crime. After being found not guilty, the rapper releases another single called "I Beat the Charges (Even Though I Murdered Baby Roc)"

Netflix convinced me that you can climb mt everest without training if you have enough money and weather is good. So I had an idea for a website where you pick a date to climb everest at least 1 year in advance. When the time comes, it looks up the weather on mt everest and reports back to you whether you climbed everest or died.

an autobiographical interactive fiction game where you wake up as me, with all my memories from today, but it's 14 years ago, and you have to decide whether to do things that might make your late 20s better, or go through some stuff that completely sucks but ultimately hopefully wind up with my current situation. also, moral quandary of whether it's okay to make choices that prevent my kid from ever existing.

Cartoon about obnoxious child political pundits called Beltway Babies

Trying to popularise the use of the phrase "shit off" as somewhere between "piss off" and "fuck off" in severity.

Create one of those super-addictive app games that people spend tons of money on. Maybe one where Islamic terrorists can be playable heroes, and Russians, African warlords with child armies, etc. Basically, a more naughty version of those other ones.

This idea is probably terrible enough for me to get arrested, or exiled, so I'll scrap it.

move to LA cuz it's "cheaper"

Internet-era version of Shocker (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shocker_(film)) where an internet troll/greasy Steve Bannon analog is sent to the electric chair. For some reason he ends up in the Internet Wires causing mayhem and murder via computers, smart phones, wearables, IoT junk, etc.

He can be played by Jack Black

Pretty sure that was the plot of Heartbeeps.

An autonomous taxi company called Tim Machine.

a Meetup group called "We Don't Lock Our Doors at Night" in which dozens of trusting, community-minded fiftysomethings go on hikes and pub crawls and kayaking trips while the organizer's henchmen rob them blind

Love that one.

Reminds me of an idea I had as a kid: start a religion called Brothers and Sisters of the Latrine where all the worshippers would flush their money and valuables into a ceremonial toilet.

I'm in

i have a jar of coffee and a jar of sugar at work. am wondering whether i should just have a jar of (coffee and sugar) pre-mixed in the correct proportion (1:1 in my case, but it would work for other ratios). would save me literally seconds twice a day.

do it

> This mix contains coffee, milk solids & sugar. Just add hot water and enjoy.

(for some value of enjoy)

(last time i was in the big supermarket i noticed they were selling individual portions of (non-)milk in tiny tetrapacs. nearly bought some for the cuteness factor (except it worked out at about £13 a pint))

holy crap koogs, that's a lot of sugar!

granted, i take my coffee black, which would probably seem pretty gross to you

Uh? That's only 1 sugar per cup. My last team lead would put 4 in...

(Teaspoons, obv)

(instant coffee this is)

That's what I was assuming, although I'm interested to see what a 1:1 blend of grounds and sugar poured into a coffee filter would produce. Diabetes, most likely.

I'm guessing we are still at odds over the definition of instant coffee...
