The file itself is sent to the recycle bin but the actual picture of the icon remains on my desktop and can still be interacted with as though it were there, but if I try to open it it tells me it's not at that location.

^^ How bizarre. Have you trired rebooting?
People always sigh when you suggest rebooting but it still fixes weird quirks like 90% of the time so whatever

Yes, but have you considered: it was the funniest way to word that sentence
Defying my expectations as usual, it's now looking like my EmBurst players are going to fail to stop Miaka's girlfriend from being sacrificed. This should be an experience.

It's kinda funny how quickly Microsoft's attempts at naming Windows 8 updates got away from them
"Windows 8" -> "Windows 8.1" -> "Windows 8.1 Update" (how specific) -> "Windows 8.1 August Update" (because August only happens once, you know)
In the past it would have just been "Windows 8", "Windows 8 Service Pack 1", etc.

The caller ID on the cordless phone at work keeps 49 entries in its history.
That seems so oddly specific to me. Like, why 49? What engineer decided that 49 previous phone numbers was the right number to have?

In the original "Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde" nobody whose viewpoint we are given until the end that Jekyll and Hyde are one, and the big question is why a fine upstanding doctor like Henry Jekyll is tolerating a scoundrel like Edward Hyde. The investigation only starts because his friends are worried he's being blackmailed or taken advantage of.
And now the one thing everyone knows is the twist.
How interesting. Not even Citizen Kane is at this level of spoiled.
To make an accurate retelling of the story, you would have to change the names and probably the setting. And even then, you would be in trouble, because people are familiar with the concept of a Jekyll and Hyde transformation.

My only guess is that they meant to make it save 50 phone numbers but someone made an off-by-one error and they just left it.
Though it's a pet peeve of mine when programmers use bizarre numbers like 50 and 100 instead of nice, round numbers like 64 and 128.

things like this just make me worry about what kind of inane things I'll be all "kids these days!" about when I'm older >_<
I can't believe it, the way you look sometimes Like a trampled flag on a city street, oh yeah And I don't want it, the things you're offering me Symbolized bar code, quick ID, oh yeah
[Chorus:] See I'm a 21st century digital boy I don't know how to read but I've got a lot of toys My daddy's a lazy middle class intellectual My mommy's on Valium, so ineffectual Ain't life a mystery?
I can't explain it, the things you're saying to me It's going yayayayayayaya, oh yeah
[Chorus]
Tried to tell you about no control But now I really don't know And then you told me how bad you had to suffer Is that really all you have to offer?
[Chorus]
[outro] Cat's foot, iron claw Neurosurgeon, scream for more Innocence raped with napalm fire Everything I want, I really need.

Some people have called me reckless and irresponsible just because I fight monsters! And time wild unicorns! I like to have fun! And I'm about to have a whole lot more because today is my 14th birthday! And according to tradition, my mom the queen has to bestow upon me our greatest family heirloom: the royal magic wand!

He also said that the stuff on his tumblr was, similarly, intended as a conversation among friends, not something to be debated by strangers.
i think we should respect his wishes.
i'm going to be out probably all tomorrow, with relatives. i know i suck at keeping to a deadline, even a self-imposed one, and i'm sorry.
Good night.
You can't be blamed for that throwing you off your deadline.
Enjoy your day out tomorrow.

"Markheim" is probably a better Stevenson to start from if you want to shock people.
