Shel Silverstein in 1981. Yep he nailed it. (I'm sure I read this way back but forgot it until I saw it today )

The Homework Machine

The Homework Machine,
Oh, the Homework Machine,
Most perfect
contraption that's ever been seen.
Just put in your homework, then drop in a dime,
Snap on the switch, and in ten seconds' time,
Your homework comes out, quick and clean as can be.
Here it is— 'nine plus four?' and the answer is 'three.'
Three?
Oh me . . .
I guess it's not as perfect
As I thought it would be.

Love this quote from her 50th anniversary reflection on Jaws: "As a movie, it’s an exercise in superb technique in every area: Take one element away, and it doesn’t work.... 'Jaws’ still keeps us coming back, reminding us that the fundamentals — character, visceral storytelling, authenticity and humanism — will always be the greatest show on Earth."

Well, shit. She was one of the best at her job.

He better be up to v 3.5 by next year.

My friend got us tickets to see "Sting 3.0" in Las Vegas on Oct. 17. I was like, Dude that was Saturday, did we miss it? And is he now running a new software version? The answers to the questions are: Show is in 2027 and, Maybe.

App also required me to turn on notifications & location services for it or else it threatened to NOT enroll my device.

I hate all of this shit.

My local credit union got a new app, which required me to 're-enroll,' which required: a new username, a new password, my Social Security number, and two 'one-time passwords' to my phone.

I'm sure it's all fine. This digital world we live in is SO EFFICIENT.
