In Season 1, Episode 9 ("Wizards, Warriors, and a Word From Our Sponsor"), the trio + Mike the TV constantly struggle, but they eventually realize that the key to success in that game is that all four of them have to do an act together in order for it to work. Even in the final leg of the game, Bob is barricading the door while telling everyone else to get the chalice, only for Dot to realize that they all have to do it together.

When they reboot, Bob is astonished that he's not the warrior, saying that he's "always the warrior." This means that Bob has played this game many times before.

So... how the hell does Bob not already know full well what they need to do to win?

I noticed a moment in Episode 4 Season 5 that is actually foreshadows that non-Glitch Bob is actually Megabyte in disguise, but it's extremely subtle. Unless you had been watching every episode in the series up until this point and paying 100% attention to every minute detail, you probably miss it. And yet, this foreshadowing is still clever as hell when you notice it!

The the first 1.5 seasons, Bob appears to know every game by memory. Season 2, Episode 6 (AndrAIa) is the first time Bob doesn't immediately recognize a game and has to use the glitch command "game info" to learn about it. Prior to this, he only used the command "Glitch: Game Stats" once, in the episode "When Games Collide," and even then, he only used it to figure out why the game was lagging, not to learn its premise.

This suggests that all guardians in the Super Computer are trained to memorize each game. In the episode "Null Bot of the Bride," it is revealed that there are only 32 keytools in existence, in the entirety of cyberspace, and Bob is known officially as "Guardian 452," meaning there are at least 451 other guardians besides him. So even among guardians, having a key tool is an extremely elite privilege. So obviously all guardians need to be trained under the assumption that they won't have one, so guardians must know all games from memory if they are to effectively protect their systems from them.

The only reason Bob didn't instantly recognize the Atlantis game is because it utilized the new "Artificial Intelligence" game sprite (aka AndrAIa), which Bob described earlier in the episode as being new technology, so this specific game must have been released after his graduation from the Super Computer.

So with that in mind, let's look at Season 4, Episode 5 ("My Two Bobs"). In that episode, Glitch Bob stays out of the Pokemon game, so MegaBob and Matrix take it on. MegaBob laments that, without glitch, there's no game stats. But fortunately, Matrix already recognizes the game. He says that he used to play this game all the time long ago before Bob came to Mainframe.

So this means that it predates Bob's graduation from the Super Computer.

So... why doesn't he already have the game memorized, just like he had all the other games before the Atlantis one?!

The only explanation is... it's not really Bob!

It always seemed retarded to me that they would book Page to never be allowed to challenge for the world title "for as long as I live." I get that they wanted to give Page some time off, and also the feud had run its course and they needed to wrap it up. But they could have done both of those just fine by simply having the stipulation be that he can't challenge for the title for as long as MJF held it.

Of course, Page is too much of a star to keep him out of the world title picture forever. So... how are they going to get around that?

Here's my theory: Page never signed anything. It was only a "gentlemen's agreement," aka a handshake.

This contract cannot be completed within a year... because it lasts forever. That means that the contract is governed by the "statute of frauds." And therefore, since the contract was only a handshake agreement, it's legally unenforceable insofar as it binds Page to his promise to never challenge for the World title ever again.

Thoughts?

EDIT: Ok, here's an even stupider theory: What if Page comes back from hiatus, and waves a bunch of paperwork over his head stating that he was in surgery a few months prior, and was "medically dead" for at least a few minutes before the doctors managed to bring him back. So because he technically stopped living after losing at Revolution, that technically satisfies his promise to not challenge again "for as long as I live."

I recently transferred my Minecraft saves and installs from a 6TB D-Drive onto a 14TB G-Drive. Curseforge itself was installed to my C-Drive because I was never given the option to install it anywhere else.

How do I get Curseforge to recognize Minecraft where it's now located and pull up all my mod profiles and saves?

It's really not that big of a deal! And it's not like we haven't got about a thousand other, more infinitely valid problems to criticize him over!

By obsessing over the damn pool, all we're really doing is giving conservatives something to point to and go "Lol, those wimpy libtards are losing what little minds they have over a stupid ass pool malfunction! They clearly can't focus on anything worthwhile, so they have to hinge on this like it's the second coming of Watergate!"

Can we please go back to demanding a full release of all the Epstein files?!

The champion's advantage was waived for that match, so the referee, instead of just snatching the belt away from the heel, instead DARED him to go ahead and use it, but warned him "If you use it, you lose it, so if you wanna do it, be my guest."

I think it was featured on some guy's "1000 IQ moves" videos.

What match, event, and date was that?

You know... just like OJ Simpson... and just like what a lot of people are hoping will happen to Rick Chow

If I remember correctly, the referee was all like "If you use it, you lose it" (because the champion's advantage was waived for that match) "so if you wanna do it, be my guest."

What date/event was that on? And who were the wrestlers?

I'm not talking about hearts. I understand that's gated behind IRL paywalls. I'm talking about actually getting a job and getting the non-microtransaction currency (I think it's silver coins) so we can buy decorations for our home and stuff.

For example, if I take my GF to the bar, and we start talking to someone else, it should instantly become a group chat with me, my GF, and the other person. I shouldn't have to manually add her to the group if she was already part of it; me walking up to the third person and introducing myself should get my GF added automatically as long as we went out as a pair.

It'd be nice to know in advance how likely I am to be approved for a mortgage before I eat a hard credit check, that way I can plan accordingly. Is there a website where I can enter the nuances of my financial situation, including income and my three credit scores (fwiw, I use www.checkfreescore.com to monitor my credit score, idk how accurate that is), and get a rough estimate of about how much home financing I am likely to qualify for, complete with the disclaimer that this is only a guesstimate?

Think about it: A lat pull is basically the opposite of a shoulder press. It's obvious how a shoulder press works the shoulders. But I always thought, in order to work a certain muscle, your muscle had to contract against resistance. But in lat pulls, the deltoids are relaxing against resistance. So how is it that a lat pull works the deltoids any more so than a shoulder press works the biceps?

While we're on the topic, how is it that squats/leg presses work the hams under the same logic?

From a narrative point of view, it's typical hero's journey fluff that the protagonist has to go the final leg of his quest without his mentor's guidance. But in-universe, there's literally no good reason not to do this.

We only ever see sentient paintings able to go back and forth between a maximum of 2 different portraits. For example, Professor Black is only able to go between his Hogwarts portrait and his 12 Grimmauld Place portrait, and the guy who found Arthur Weasley bitten by Nagini is only shown to be able to go between his Dept. of Mystery portrait and the Hogwarts one.

But even if we assume there's a hard limit of 2 portraits, we never see a Dumbledore sentient portrait anywhere except the Headmaster's office, so there's still at least one more portrait that Dumbledore could have given to Harry. And there's nothing stopping Harry from honoring Dumbledore's request to have it donated somewhere else after Voldemort's defeated. Can't imagine where else, since Dumbledore's entire LIFE was Hogwarts aside from defeating Voldemort, but still, the option was there.

Dumbledore was also afraid that, if confronted outright with the details about the hallows, Harry might seize them for the wrong reasons. Ok fine, but a sentient Dumbledore portrait could have easily beaten around the bush on the subject if he were ever asked.

So all in all, it was an in-universe botch that Dumbledore didn't bequeath a sentient portrait of himself to Harry.

I've discovered a hack to making my credit rating skyrocket: Use credit cards ONLY for small, fixed, monthly expenses that I was just going to be paying for anyway (such as my $25/mo Tello mobile plan, or my $7.99/mo Netflix subscription) and pay the balance off in full each month. This keeps my balance on each card well below 30%, with 100% balance payments each month. At least with my current credit card (Open Sky), they don't charge interest until the due date anyway, and as long as I pay the balance off in bull on the 1st of each month, the balance on the due date will always be $0.00, so I don't even pay any interest on it. This means I'm literally just getting a free boost to my credit score with no additional strings attached!

So I currently have TransUnion/Equifax/Experian credit ratings of 734/748/744, respectively. Well, in order to make my credit climb even FASTER, I need even more accounts open, right?

So how often should I engage in a hard check on my credit and take out a new credit card in order to maximize credit gain?
