Psychic Type - Pocket Monsters[^]
Be me, 1999, watch some Pokémon before going to school.
Bring your Gameboy with the Pokémon Red game and dominate the schoolyard because you have the best Pokémon 
Be me, 2021, the original Pokémon series is being added to Netflix!
Haven't really cared for Pokémon in the past 20 years, but it's still a great franchise, so what started as watching an episode for fun ended in watching the entire series and playing Pokémon Yellow on a Gameboy emulator 
And then of course I had to listen to this track!
I have no idea who Psychic Type is, except that he probably loves Pokémon, has a preference for psychic Pokémon (because they are obviously the best) and knows how to create some great trap remixes.
So for you Pokémon and trap lovers out there, sound of the week!
And his other tracks are awesome too

I wasn't expecting to go on a nostalgic trip so early this morning...
I didn't do much with Pokemon beyond the gameboy games, but I do have some fond memories of staying up late with my brother and playing through them. We both had copies of Crystal and Ruby, so those got most of the attention. I like Crystal enough to have, within the last year, purchased the 3DS emulated version and invested a few hours into it.

I'm currently watching the Indigo League series, but Misty doesn't have her Togepi yet, and Team Rocket doesn't have their Wobbufet...
Apparently, that's the Johto League, but somehow I can't really remember any other Pokémon except the original 150 and Togepi and Wobbufet (and some odd ones I saw when I zapped channels when I was already a few years older).
Honestly, it got a little confusing after the first series and 150 Pokémon.
Or, as the Greek tragedy goes...
When Oedipus reached Thebes, he encountered a Sphinx. "If you want to pass this point alive, you must answer my riddle: What goes on four legs in the morning, on two legs at noon, and on three legs in the evening?", the Sphinx asked. Oedipus pondered for a moment. "Probably one of those new Pokémon", he finally replied. "There's like 600 of them, I'd be surprised if one of them DOESN'T change its number of legs whilst evolving". "Fair enough, man", spoke the Sphinx. "I can't reasonably expect you to remember all their names. You may pass."

I was too old to engaged with Pokemon but music has always been in my life
Now that we have YouTube old music seems to have found a new place to be
remembered
This is a off the wall YouTube Channel that I stumbled upon the guy has
a novel idea that said it really boils down to a time killer with music
How one of the songs on this video was written provides a rabbit hole
worth your time Who would have thought "867-5309/Jenny" would be a hit
[^]>21-02 King of the Desert 2.1 (Video 19-17 Remixed) - YouTube[^]
And Yes I have driven this Highway The ONLY way to survive it is with music

Who knew watching a guy drive while listening to some classic rock could be so enchanting! 
Fun fact, that road is about three quarters of the length of the whole Netherlands 
What is it they say?
The difference between Europe and the USA is that a two hour drive is long in Europe and short in the USA while a building that's a 100 years old is young in Europe and ancient in the USA.
Can't remember exactly, but something like that.

Today's paid-for ads in Chrome include the "7 Day Bigger Butt Challenge" from betterme.com, but, the number-two slot is not, as usual, filled by a bra ad from Wacoal, or, an ad from a Chinese manufacturer of industrial pulverizing machines, or, an ad for a new model Porsche Carrera 911 S that in Thailand would cost over US$ 370K.
Don't they know that I'm an old man who rides a bicycle, that i don't wear a bra, that the only pulverizing i do is with garlic, that i don't drive ?
AI ?

Are you feeding them with all you data and allowing them to show you "personalized ads"?
If not... it is ALL you fault

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

afaik: i have all the Chrome privacy/telemetry settings on maximum no.
but, i can't imagine Google not seeing my browsing history, and, i can easily imagine, given their track record, them doing dirty deeds under the hood.

I don't know about the transportation parts, but apparently they think you're English.

You notice the ads?!?!?
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

Bill based on some of your posts here I imagine your browsing history gives the AI conniptions. I have this image of an AI sitting in the background going "oh bugger Bill is on line again, what the hell am i supposed to serve up now"

Come to think of it, most of my intellectual interests don't connect to products that would be advertised in the browser. I hadn't thought of that as a blessing ... until now
So, thanks !

Perhaps the letters were in an array with the 1st element being zero?
I won't give my possible answer as at the moment, committing to Monday (3 whole days away) seems optimistic - some disaster will have arisen by then!!!

Well, I was wrong then. I thought it was "On the shelf" given that a dish would be found on a shelf and it is an expresssion for being free of a relationship.
Shows what I know!

So ... you are there just a week, and this happens: EA: Gaming giant hacked and source code stolen[^]
A bit of a coincidence, isn't it?
