I’m a Sox fan. Thanks for making us all look bad, Frank.

We just applied for passports over the weekend - we took pictures at home that we thought were good enough, but the woman who took our applications looked at them and said, “I can’t force you to take new pictures, but I don’t think those will pass.”

We were at the post office doing this, and they had a setup for taking

My wife used to do custom framing for him when we lived in LA. He used to walk around with a “JEOPARDY” baseball cap and had a big gold keychain hanging out of his pocket with his name engraved on it in HUGE LETTERS. Just in case you weren’t sure who he was, or something.

Now playing

Hey, I was able to resist for nearly half an hour!

Unless, of course, you’re a hooker with a large stash of blow you’re looking to get rid of.

Fucking stoplights, how do they work?

Heh. So I went down that rabbit hole. And I accidentally bricked my phone (totally my own fault as I accidentally re-installed SuperSU after flashing Magisk, and then my phone would no longer boot). So...uh...I’m back to stock now. Guess I can play PoGo after all!

Yeah, I saw that, and I’m not sure quite sure I want to get into the cat-and-mouse game that badly.

Niantic is over-reacting by preventing all rooted users from playing because some of them may have been cheating using rooted devices. So I suppose it should be more “thanks, Niantic,” but if people didn’t feel compelled to cheat then Niantic wouldn’t be taking such overly drastic steps in the first place.

I had forgotten about that option in SuperSu. IIRC, that still doesn’t fool Android Pay, although it’s been a while since I’ve tried. If/when I update Go I may play around with that.

I wasted probably a month trying to shut it up on my LG G3. Nothing I tried worked until I rooted and installed Xposed and the G3 TweaksBox module - and once I had gone that far, I kind of decided there wasn’t any going back (well, not any convenient going back).

This is basically going to kill the game for me. Rooting was the only way I was able to silence the “your battery is full” notifications that kept waking me up (I’m on call 24/7, I don’t have the luxury of just turning my phone off at night). Not worth jumping through all of those hoops just for Go.

There’s no specific ETA detailed by Niantic, but they say it’s “just around the corner.”

Answer, “Regrets? I’ve had a few. But still, too few to mention.” And move on.

I saw one once, but it despawned as soon as I tapped on it. :/

...after giving a Pokemon that kind of nickname, I think I might have been better suited for Team Instinct.

So can Moises Alou.
