Wikipedia says the position of umpire is “analogous to that of a referee in many other sports.”

Reminds of the “walkers” in Battletoads

Reminds me of the fable of the scorpion and the frog.

…that’s not funny…there’s nothing funny about that.

Yup. Male elephants go through something called “musth” where they have many times the normal amount of testosterone in their body.

For those who don’t know, this is Philomena Cunk, a mockumentary reporter.

I watch a streamer who mastered speed running dozens of NES games. He says Battletoads was the hardest game to learn. Just getting through the game, not even pushing for a fast time, was extremely challenging. Much harder than TMNT 1 or Ninja Gaiden.

There’s a Wikipedia page about him:

Dumb and Dumber. There’s definitely an air tag in that luggage now.

Reminds me of No County for Old Men (2007).

Yup! Just last week it was revealed that they would be doing their adaptive suspension that way: https://www.motortrend.com/news/bmw-adaptive-suspension-connected-drive-subscription/

Years ago, I used an extension called Tree Style Tab. It’s better than just vertically displaying tabs. New tabs open as children, and you can collapse branches, so things stay organized when you have a ton of tabs.

Reminds me of when Facebook wanted people to send them their nudes to prevent their nudes from being spread. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/nov/07/facebook-revenge-porn-nude-photos

Lol, reading this reminds me of a Jack In The Box commercial from the mid 2000s: https://youtu.be/3ZdT9MkyG7I

Years ago, a pedophile posted photos online with his face swirled, but police were able to unswirl it:

I have no idea who the guy in this photo is.

It could be a joke that’s been around forever, but I know it from The Simpsons: https://youtu.be/4GzMizVAl-0

Speaking of palindromes, fun fact: “()()” is NOT a palindrome, but “())(” is.

The first one is like ABAB, the second is like ABBA.

An example I found: the string of digits 0123456789 occurs at position 17387594880. In this case, it took 11 digits to describe where to find a 10-digit number.

So I think such an algorithm would technically work, but your “start digit” would be so large it would use more data than just sending the raw file data. Not to mention the impossible amount of computing power needed.
