@Anti-Matter I appreciate the Eurobeat share. That is a pretty good version of Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, pretty much on par with the original in my opinion. I prefer the original version of songs in many cases, but I'm happy to make the occasional exception (The Sound of Silence by Disturbed, for example; originally by Simon & Garfunkel).

I also hope you had a good Nyepi Day.

@Tasuki Never heard of the guy, but he sounds interesting. Are you referring to the Challenge Mode or Perfect Run playlist? (Or both?) In any case, I'll mark it for future watching.

Also I just beat the second Titan in "Sonic Frontiers" (PS4)

Good morning.
Today 14 March 2024 is birthday anniversary of very famous people with their iconic of relativity theory.
Can you guess who is this people?
The answer is Albert Einstein

I stopped drinking Mountain Dew because I found out it contains an ingredient that actually causes memory loss if consumed too much of.

@card-crunch78 you got a sauce for that?

@Okami1 Lost the link, just Google "mountain dew banned in Japan".

@card-crunch78 ok

I’m pleased to announce that I now know how to crochet a granny square.

That’s all the announcements for the night.

Trying to decide if I wanna sell a kidney and go see Kylie Minogue in Vegas. I can’t believe her tickets are more than Madonna’s.

@Ryu_Niiyama sell 3, get a good seat and a nice night in Vegas

I'm guessing you don't want to be named in my court case?

edit: after looking at some videos of her set online I will pass. She's good and it looks fun but not 800 dollars worth of fun for me to be stuck in standing only section. I'll pick up her new album though.

Go to Vegas. Take pics outside venue.

Spend the rest of the visit looking at the cool casinos.

Optional: Buy personalized M&Ms.

@Eel LOL I don't do social media so I have no reason to take pics for clout lol. Since I don't gamble/drink, Vegas is kinda boring for me. I've gone a few times for work conferences and frankly unless I am going to a show, it isn't imo worth the travel. A day trip to see their museums isn't a bad idea though.

I've never been addicted to gambling. If I can't win at a slot machine, what makes them think I'll get hooked?

@Ryu_Niiyama I don’t gamble or drink either, but it is a really fun downtown to wander around for a day. Most of the casinos have cool exhibitions and theme park-like architecture.

(And if you like any souvenir drink cups, you can ask for alcohol-free options!)

It’s a workout though. Or perhaps that’s just with my family.

@Eel
Here in Indonesia, the Game Arcade have a lot of "casino" machines that provide a lot of tickets to redeem.
I personally don't like kind of machines like that as my intention to visit Game Arcade is playing Arcade machine with using skill to play like DDR, MaiMai, Gitadora, etc.
I'm not interested with the tickets as the stuffs to redeem are not worthy if you compare the ticket numbers to redeem with the actual price of the same products.
I would rather buy the product I want directly from the shop with reasonable price rather than gamble my money with "casino" machines that I have to waste my money more to redeem the same product.

The best part about me being unknown is that if I cancel a project (usually art), nobody's going to care or come at me with the torch/pitchforks.

@Ryu_Niiyama American ticket prices have gone insane, I get sticker shock every time I see something now. It's one thing that the cost of living has gone up so putting on a gig costs more and artists are charging more after losing money because they can't sell records as everyone streams now but it's the unregulated processing fees which are charged and Ticketmaster's Platinum dynamic pricing rubbish that is really disgusting.

If I was you I'd ask myself when Kylie dies is your reaction gonna be you regretted not seeing them that one time you could have? After David Bowie died and it hit me like a gut punch I really regretted not going to see him when i could have. That is how I decided on seeing those big legacy acts even if i'm a so-so fan of them.

@Anti-Matter by “casinos”, we are actually talking about the big hotels that have casinos in Las Vegas, not the gambling machines themselves.

They’re large, have stuff to look at both inside and outside, and are free to explore; you don’t need to pay or gamble to do touristy stuff.

I actually think you’d enjoy sightseeing in Las Vegas 😉

There is alot to do in Vegas besides drinking and gambling. There's shows and attractions that go with each casinos themes.
