A Mastermind Game Ripoff

Sometimes I play this Clubhouse 51 Games game on my Nintendo Switch. It’s actually a decent set of board games, card games, etc. I especially like the Othello ripoff and the Mastermind ripoff. They have other names. Sometimes I win Mastermind. Today, I won with three guesses left!

With six colors of pegs and four spaces to fill (with no color repeats), how many possible combinations are there?

ChatGPT Nonsense Story About A Man Pooping Himself

Please accept my sincerest apologies for the low level of maturity on this blog post.

I presented this prompt to Chat GPT:

Write a silly story about a grown man who was day-dreaming about robocop in church and then falls asleep and accidentally poops himself.

Honestly, I was shocked that it accommodated me without scolding me for the subject matter.

Once upon a time, there was a grown man named Tom who had a fascination with Robocop. He was sitting in church one Sunday, daydreaming about Robocop saving the day when suddenly he dozed off.

As Tom drifted off into a deep sleep, his subconscious mind took him on a wild adventure. He found himself in a futuristic world where he was the sidekick of Robocop. Together they fought off villains and saved the world. It was an exhilarating experience for Tom, and he lost track of time.

Unfortunately, Tom’s body wasn’t as excited about his adventure as his mind was. He had eaten a large burrito the night before, and his stomach was feeling uneasy. While he was sleeping, Tom accidentally pooped himself. The smell was so bad that it woke him up, and he quickly realized what had happened.

Tom was mortified. He tried to pretend like nothing had happened, but the smell was too strong, and everyone around him started to notice. People were trying to hold their breath and move away from him, and Tom wished he could disappear.

After the service ended, Tom bolted out of the church and ran all the way home, too embarrassed to show his face to anyone. From that day forward, he never daydreamed about Robocop in church again, and he always made sure to use the bathroom before leaving the house.

Bumpboxx Retro Pager

Electric Purple Bumpboxx Retro Pager

I ordered my Bumpboxx Retro Pager Bluetooth® Speaker from Amazon last week. I feel that the $89.00 USD price was a bit high, but I got it on credit, so it doesn’t hurt so bad. Also, paying that price is partially my fault. Had I bought it in black, it would have been $10 cheaper. Overall, I’m happy with it and its features. There are a few things I would have preferred, but that’s OK.

Pros

  • Micro USB Power Port
  • TF Card (Micro SD) Card for mp3 Files
  • Variety of color options
  • Belt Clip
  • Decent Sound
  • Flashlight

Cons

  • Pager Sound Effect when powering on (It’s maddening and cannot be disabled)
  • No Skip Button for mp3 Files (as far as I can tell)
  • No Random/Shuffle functionality for mp3 Files
  • FM Channel Scan is too fast (It would be near impossible to have enough time to recognize a song and stop the scan in enough time to actually stop on that channel)
  • Poor FM Reception
  • Button Placement (It’s relatively difficult to press the clip to insert into your pocket without pressing random buttons)

The likelihood that a user would actually utilize the card or the radio is low, I get it, but their low quality makes them near pointless. If you plan to use Bluetooth® only, you’re good.…
