Pud likes my big Snuffles bear more than I do.

Easy: b+2f + 2f = 9, b=5; f=1
Medium: b+ff+ff = 9, b=5; f=sqrt(2)
Hard: b + f^f + f^f =9, b=5, f^f = 2....yeah, fuck off it's not fun anymore...
Updated my iphone. "Apple now uses two-step authentication, sent to one of your other devices."
Yeah, my zero other Apple devices ...

Well that, and we'd all be obese motherfuckers after graduating college.
The phone should just auto-receive the text, or else there should be an option to receive a phone call on that very same phone where it speaks the code to you (available after you tap "Didn't get a verification code?").
...and if you want to turn it off, there's instructions at the bottom of this page.

It's probably because the bear holds your scent. Pudding loves you.
It not only received the text, but filled it in for me, which makes the whole thing pointless unless Arrogant Apple is right in assuming I have more Apple products.
Nah, it just looks for an incoming text from 999-99 or whatever number it is, and autofills it if one does arrive. Doesn't always work with every carrier, don't know why.
Had to have a similar discussion recently with someone using Google Authenticator on their phone:
"So I wiped my phone and set it up as new but now Google won't let me back into my apps."
"Were you using Google Authenticator?"
"Yeah."
"Well, that's why. Can you answer the challenge question on any of your other devices?"
"Oh, I never enrolled any of my other devices since I always have my phone with me. Better security that way."
"I see. Did you keep the recovery key they give you when you first enable that feature?"
"Yes, I have that saved on my Google Drive, but I can't get in to get it because it won't let me log in because I don't have the authenticator."
"...<jackie_chan.jpg>"
So basically you worked hard to create a single point of failure? And then you threw that single point of failure away? Have fun talking to Google tech support. IF you can find them.
The big deal with Apple's two-factor authentication (NOT two-step authentication, which is a different thing) is that during setup, it doesn't ask you, "Do you want to enable 2FA? Here's what it does:" No, instead it just asks, "Do you want to enhance your security?" but doesn't follow up with WHAT THAT MEANS and just how IMPORTANT it is to take steps to make sure you don't get locked out. My guess is that the setup page team didn't understand just how little your average layperson knows about security.

I just realized this authentication was for the iCloud, not the iPhone itself. So I was partway wrong about redundancy, and instead it's just irrelevant for me since I don't use the iCloud. Said no to that, and the iKey thing too.
At this rate, I'm not sure I'll still want one Apple product by the time I get a phone upgrade.
Aww, that's cute. Would the scent survive the wash? He's always all over it again when it's done in the dryer.
That also explains why my super old bear that I got as a kid is an acceptable back up. Also a Snuffles bear, but the poor thing's neck has no stuffing and he has taken on a sickly greyish green. Pud sees past all that
I would doubt it, but there'd still be his memory of your scent on it. And coming out of the dryer it would be nice and warm, like body heat.
I really would guess that he's relating the bear to you - and the bear has one feature as a surrogate that cats would totally go for: it doesn't move.
Actually they heard it first in the no-more-headphone jack thread.
Uhhh phrasing?Actually they heard it first in the no-more-headphone jack thread.
Not in America.
Hey now that everyone's doing it, it's no longer hip.Actually they heard it first in the no-more-headphone jack thread.

Taking the piss out of Fade's wind is all it's about.
Me: *needs to ask for work schedule change and concocts elaborate story to make it palatable for manager*
Me: I need a schedule change.
Manager: Sure, no problem.
Me: *needs to stop overthinking every little thing*

I sent an update picture to the shelter we found him at and they posted a bit more of his story whe they shared the picture and he's about a month younger than we had thought. I think he may have have been separated from his mother too soon.

Man. Super Mario Run is fun... but is it 10 dollars fun?
Oh man, you just reminded me of a conversation with my FIL tonight
FIL: Have you heard of Mario Run?
Me: No I haven't. What is it?
FIL: Well, it's a Mario game.
Me: Thanks. I kinda got that from the name
Cue laughter from my wife and MIL.
I am considering it. Also debating if it's $10 fun. And if there will be sneaky in app purchases?

I feel like you'll have to pay for those rally tickets eventually.
I don't know, I'm having enough fun doing all the coin challenges and whatever rally races I can do for now. I'm sure there will be a sale soon enough.
So I think we're all agreed, the new Megazord toy looks like garbage and every version of it needs to be melted into a giant hunk of plastic, that shall be catapulted towards Saban studios for their sins. Also Goldar.
"Surely it can't be that bad."
*goes to look for pictures*
"... shit it is that bad."
No to sneaky in app purchases, but yes to sneaky always online requirement. What's your data allowance like on your phone?
Also, really Nintendo? Always online on a mobile game? Why is every idea you have either fantastic or utter shit?
I would most likely play it on my iPad. I think that my phone data is ok though. I haven't had any issues with data playing Pokemon Go a ton.

I'm drinking Bud Light out of a Charmander hiball glass.
Fucking deal with it.
I had an icy Diet Coke in the pikachu one
A little over 3 hours ago, the European CTO sent out a Europe-wide e-mail with a link to a video with season's greetings on behalf of the company. This was sent to somewhere between 120.000 and 130.000 people. I went to look, and it now stands at 79 views.
Why even bother making that crappy video?! Clearly, nobody's interested!
