The 80s were more or less ambitious?

Happy Birthday Bryan!

So I've been using the new Screen Time feature in iOS12 to lock the kids' iPads and phones overnight to remove temptation and alleviate bedtime arguments. Was working well. Until I notice today that a couple of notable apps (Clash of Clans, Netflix) are no longer blocked on Alec's devices even when Screen Time is active. Hmm, that seems ... mysteriously convenient. I reset everything (including the master passcode) on his stuff and on my phone, which is the main controller. No change. So I then manually add these apps to the "Always Allowed" list, then manually delete them. No change. Try this with a couple of other apps and it works just as you'd expect -- add them and they become accessible, remove them and they are blocked again. Doesn't work with CoC or Netflix. I check to make sure that he's signed into them through his iCloud account (since that's how Screen Time works) and not some new profile, and he is. Am now stumped. Can still frustrate the sneaky little fucker by manually setting a usage limit of 00:00 for each app each night at bedtime, but 1) that resets automatically at midnight and 2) I'd just love to know how he's pulled this off without knowing the passcode (quite sure of that) or leaving any trace. Any ideas?

Nice! I ate a lot of horrible crap in Vegas, as one does. Did have a superb Tomahawk ribeye at Jean-Georges Steakhouse -- one of the best pieces of meat I can remember, and I've seen a few. Experience slightly tarnished by the 500% markups on the wine list. Stuck to cocktails.

Also this. It bounces. His hair is tragic though.

Young The Giant -- Mirror Master Straightforward, but enjoyable.

Don't miss that. On the other hand, nothing appears to be on fire.

Too much dying right now. Let's stop for a bit.

Sorry Wayne. Missed your post because I was so shell-shocked on scrolling up to Antonio's. I hope your friend is at peace now.

So sorry, Antonio. To be so sudden -- it's terrible.

The greatest letter ever written. What a rollercoaster ride.

CHVRCHES with acoustic/orchestral arrangement. Didn't know I needed this but turns out I do! Hansa Session EP.

Strip out all the video BS and you have a moderately decent new Smashing Pumpkins song, which is better than nothing.

for the food. for the feels.

William Goldman, author and screenwriter and keen observer of many things. RIP.

I get kind of a The Knife vibe from this.

Looks flammable. Wouldn't fly in Cali.

V8? Fuck me. That's what lower-quality red wine is for. Will accept Guinness in a pinch.

It has an energy for sure! Speaking of which, YouTube served this up tonight. They get me.

Needs moar Special Edition.

Apart from his creative contributions, he seemed like a cool guy too. RIP Stan.
