    Bad, Family, and Phone: 2
 When my grandfather was young he owned a
 roadside motel, and my mother used to do work
 around the motel for the family. The building was old
 and they had bad pipes, so visits from the plumber
 were a fairly regular occurrence over there
 At one point they had a clogged toilet after a guest
 checked out, so they called the plumber to come
 and clean it out. The plumber came in with his bag
 of gear and set to work, but the clog was stubborn
 After a few tries, he decided he needed to get the
 snake
 I don't know if you've ever seen a serious plumbing
 snake, but the big ones are a sight to behold. This
 isn't a little crank auger, it's a full-on electrical
 powered snake with a big motor on the back and a
 little grabby claw on the end
 So he fires up the snake and sends the metal coil
 down into the pipes with the claw closed, figuring
 whatever's down there he'll just bump it a bit, push it
 down the pipes until it clears - but this doesn't
 happen either. Finally, in frustration, he twists the
 control to open the mechanical claw at the end of
 the coil, closes it on something, throws the motor in
 reverse and starts to pull it back up

 By now a couple of members of the staff have
 gathered in the room to try and tigure out what the
 hell got flushed down the toilet that this giant
 machine couldn't remove. The motor is really
 straining you know that sound an electric motor
 makes when it's working really hard? The whole
 machine is struggling to pull whatever this is back
 up through the pipes and into the roonm
 Finally, after an extended wait, the object is slowly
 dragged, sopping wet, out of the toilet bowl - and it's
 a shower curtain,
 The staff is dumbfounded. They're trying to figure
 out how this could have happened. It would be
 weird enough if the guest had ripped the shower
 curtain down and flushed it down the toilet, but the
 shower curtain in the room is still there. It would be
 even weirder if the guest had brought their own
 shower curtain to the motel and tried to flush it down
 the toilet, but it's clearly one of their shower curtains.
 Did they try and steal the shower curtain, leave with
 it, then feel guilty and come back only to find that
 the shower curtain had already been replaced, and
 then flush the shower curtain down the toilet to hide
 the evidence?

 While they're discussing this, the room phone rings
 The person on the other end is screaming,
 hysterical, so it takes a few minutes for them to
 figure out that it's the housekeeper who was
 cleaning the rooms. After a few moments, the
 manage to get the story out of her:
 The snake had missed the clog entirely. Rather than
 spiraling down into the plumbing where it was
 intended to go, it had wound its way into the central
 line, and then back up the pipes in the room next
 door. It spiraled its way up, out the toilet bowl, and
 then started flailing wildly around the next-door
 bathroom like a Lovecraftian nightmare made of
 steel, knocking things off of shelves and clattering
 furiously around the room. Then, while the hapless
 housekeeper watched in horror, a metal claw
 opened on the end of it and snagged the shower
 curtain, ripped it off the bar ring-by-ring, spun it
 around the room until it was coiled tightly around the
 cable, and dragged it back down into the toilet bowl
 The actual clog was never found

Because a shower curtain would really go through the pipes like that

    Bitch, Bulbasaur, and Children: 4G19:50
 Attempting to use the Mew Encounter exploit with a Pokemon with a
 special stat of over 250 results in encountering a glitch trainer who
 causes the game to just flip the absolute fuck out when trying to
 calculate how much money to award vou afterwards. This causes the
 relevant memory poiner to shoot off to god knows where, and as a result
 it just sets a solid two hundred unrelated hexadecimal values in the
 game to 99 in the process, filling your party with level 153 Bulbasaur that
 can only use explosion
 i dont understand half of the words here but god if this
 isn't the funniest thing i've ever read
 trenchgun
 im pretty sure red and blue weren't programmed but just
 sort of... mutated into cartridges
 prettyflyforajeskai
 Red and blue are why QA teams were invented
 biggaybunny
 for fuck's sake they weren't badly programmed. They
 were bleeding edge. It's so easy to forget that but Red
 and Blue were literally pushing the limits of what they
 could fit on the cartridge.
 They used every trick in the book. In that way, the
 programming behind them is GENIUS. It's frankly a
 lost art, in this era where hardware is insanely cheap

 They used every trick in the book. In that way, the

 lost art, in this era where hardware is insanely cheap
 and scalable, when you can just keep throwing more
 resources at the problem. But Red & Blue were when
 programmers had to get creative. Not currently using
 a piece of memory? Repurpose it, we can't just leave
 it lying around. Only have a couple registers? Juggle
 them, keep careful track so we can restore them when
 we needed. Does this data need to be single purpose, or
 can we also use it for, say, a seed value?
 And all this WORKED. I guarantee you 99% of children
 playing this never saw a bug in casual play. MODERN
 games are buggier by a landslide. Remember when X&Y
 came out and there was an ENTIRE CITY you couldn't
 save in because it'd DELETE YOUR SAVE? Imagine that
 happening in the days of Red&Blue. It couldn't have. I
 can turn on my red cartridge TODAY and have it work
 And the bugs that did exist, those edge cases they
 missed? They produce this behavior because the game
 REFUSES TO CRASH. Sure, you can make it crash if

 O419:51
 possible.
 Y'all looking down from your 64-bit quad-core
 smartphones with 128GB SD cards like Red & Blue were
 programmed by amateurs. What, you also going to bitch
 that the Wright Brothers didn't make a jet engine? These
 are artifacts from pioneers who wrote the goddamn
 book that others would use as gospel
 Sincerely,
 a pissed off goddamn programmer.

    Family, Memes, and Rick Ross: Rick Ross Reportedly Hospitalized
 Due To Serious Medical Issue
 @balleralert
Rick Ross Reportedly Hospitalized Due To Serious Medical Issue - blogged by @MsJennyb ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ According to TMZ, RickRoss has been hospitalized for a serious medical condition. Sources close to Ross say the medical issue is heart-related. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The incident occurred early Thursday morning when Ross fell ill in his Miami area home. The call came in around 3:30 am when officials were told there was a man in distress, breathing heavy and unresponsive. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ According to TMZ, the caller said the man had a history of seizures and was “slobbing out of the mouth,” at the time of the call. However, upon arrival, officials say the man became combative once he regained consciousness. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ While one source says Ross missed an appearance due to his hospitalization, a family member has strongly denied the claims. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If Ross is in fact hospitalized though, this would not be his first hospitalization. Back in 2011, the Boss was sent to the hospital after 2 seizures. However, the health scare sparked a change of lifestyle, which led to Ross’ huge weight loss.
