There are approximately zero people on this planet who have used a Hitachi magic wand as a neck massager, but I digress.

But, I digress — the ads are just shopping ads, and they're not the obnoxious "There are hot singles in your area" ads.

One notion I never stumbled across: that DoorDash may both establish a minimum guarantee and let deliverers keep the tips, but I digress.

The co-existence of Mario and Baby Mario in games like Mario Kart have suggested certain time paradoxes are possible, but I digress.

Quite frankly, Moore could still win (which tells me I wish we could swap Alabama for Puerto Rico as a state but I digress).

Almost any other president would have seen the dangers of viral misinformation and tried to be part of the solution... instead of worsening the problem... but I digress.

It remains to be seen how refraining from calling on your supporters to murder your political opponent would require years of training as career politician, but I digress.

But I digress… Zooming out, O'Leary's blog post talks about three elements of BlueYard's investment thesis: The decentralisation of markets, the democratisation of capabilities, and the liberation of data.

|
And, if we're being honest, the winged suit has more in common with Vulture (famously played by Michael Keaton in Spider-Man: Homecoming) than Iron Man, but I digress.

And, if we've learned anything from the 2016 elections, it's to hope for the best, but also prepare for the worst (and to listen to Black women — but I digress).

Also, in judging you I would also be judging myself (which, I actually feel more comfortable doing than judging you, but I digress) because we are wired the same way.
|

Anyway I digress, because despite being a fan of the democratic process, Britney has actually singlehandedly thrown it into disarray in Israel, due to an issue with one of her upcoming concerts.

Despite the fact that blacks and whites use marijuana at about the same rate, blacks have been nearly four times more likely than whites to be arrested for marijuana possession, but I digress.

Donald Trump is currently laying waste to the Republican field of presidential candidates, which probably says more about them and the lunatic fringes of the party, than it does him, but I digress.

|
I digress: Horizon Zero Dawn is shaping up to be my action-RPG for next year, in much the way The Witcher 3 was 2015, and its Blood & Wine expansion has been 2016.

It was ironic that the largely student audience was not permitted to ask questions after Mr. Zuckerberg gave a talk about free speech (he answered questions that had been submitted in advance), but I digress.

But he also had one key weakness, which was that once he died, the magic sustaining his entire army died with him (which you'd really think he would have better planned for, but I digress).

As president, Trump called Africa and Haiti "shithole" countries (Africa is a continent, but I digress), reportedly said Haitians "all have AIDS" and passionately argued there are "good people" in a pack of white supremacists.
|
|
There's plenty of thoughtful research available to make the argument that the word is not offensive (unlike so many of the terms evocative of Native Americans that we use for sports teams, but I digress).

|
|
We also enjoyed taking in the gorgeous views of the shores of Monterey Bay (which lately served as the backdrop, and basically a character of its own, in HBO's excellent Big Little Lies—but I digress).

Where do you find tiny pictures to express your grief, anger, and...well, that's all the emotions a true metalhead can have, but I digress: Where does a true metal fan find his or her emoji?

Physician — $221,28 Welp, our parents were right (or at least mine were when they told me to become a doctor to be successful, but I digress) — being a physician will land you a high base paycheck.
|
|
They weren't collecting $20 bills in the back of a bowling alley like it's a Super Bowl pool, but I digress… I think the bigger takeaway is that everything changed this spring after Uber's failed IPO.
|
|
Shakespeare is just one of the cultural shorthands that lets us know that the Pierces Aren't Like the Roys — as though Logan didn't just give Frank a watch engraved with a Tennyson line, but I digress.
|
|
Although I think to a large extent it's not necessarily email that's so stressful, it's work that's stressful, but given so much of our work is now over email, we end up blaming the messenger, but I digress.
|
|
Anyway, I digress, but what I want to say is that the show's all-new California locations are partly due to Arnold's love of his state and also a great way to give the show a fresh new start.
|
|
It's yet one more piece of evidence that orcs and trolls have their own motives, thoughts, and feelings outside of those of the Dark and Bright Lords, but I digress; it's a surprising moment because the dominated have, generally, stayed dominated.
|
|
I've since heard a much more definitive story that one of those companies went as far as meeting with Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, but I digress… The other question is what exactly Facebook plans to do with its new license.
|
|
Those in mourning write about the power of his musical 'artistry,' how his music helped them through difficult times, and even claim he was "this generation's Kurt Cobain" and compare him to Tupac Shakur (many, myself included, disagree, but I digress).

They are BioBeats, an AI company focused on delivering preventative mental health, and Meatable, which is developing the "next-generation" of lab-grown meat (I was unaware the first generation of lab-grown meat was done yet, but I digress…).
|
|
I don't, really, although I think there was some drunken live-tweeting (I don't think that verb technically existed yet, but I digress) of Rocky, and possibly Rocky II. Anyway, point is, joining Twitter is not, strictly speaking, a thing.
|
|
The Allies used skatole as a non-lethal weapon in World War II, literally barraging Axis military units with the smell of shit (they didn't use it in Japan because they thought the Japanese didn't mind the smell of shit, but I digress).
|
|
The iBrain digital abacus is available with early bird pricing starting at $69 on Kickstarter, and will retail for $149 following the campaign (a price at which one could buy both a regular abacus and an advanced TI-89 graphing calculator, but I digress).
|
|
But I digress: Kyrie Irving is not one of the five most valuable players in the NBA, and for eight people who cover the league to think he's more important to his team's success than LeBron James, James Harden or Giannis, just...that's amazing.
|
|
It is possible that 'H' predates even this shitty moonbase game, but it is here where I digress: Finding the origins of the H meme would likely not help explain what the H meme means or help us understand why it is currently viral.

|
And I can eat pie... except it's anywhere from 9-22 points which is not the best move... I personally go for the 5 point wine or vodka martini for a treat 😳 I digress... What I am posting is a huge gratitude post!

|
The definition of what qualifies as "chick lit" (an unpleasant term, besides which, I've personally always thought if you were going to coin a sexist word for women's books, chicktion has more pizzazz, but I digress) is, in its purest form, a stupid tautology.
|
|
But I digress … Not everyone is ready to make the commitment of installing a large gaming PC in their home expressly for VR. But on the other hand, I've rarely seen someone in the wild (on a train or in a park, etc.) using a mobile VR headset.
|
|
This article originally appeared on Noisey UK.There is an episode of Sex and the City in which Carrie contemplates breaking up with somebody because the sex is really awkward (for some reason she does not consider breaking up with him because his name sounds just like "burger" and he's a man-baby, but I digress).
|
|
Given that expensive and sophisticated corporate networks have been shown, time and again, to be far from immune to hackers, cheap products like Internet-connected dolls and babycams stand precious little chance of being able to guarantee sensitive domestic data is locked away from prying eyes (especially if governments persist in trying to perforate encryption — but I digress… ).
|
|
Eventually I found it, because it turns out that even Betty White dabs (probably for money, but I digress), but before I found that, I found out that DABS now means something even more different — and possibly illegal in some states — which just goes to show you that there is no point at all in even trying to keep up.

What each 135-square-foot unit lacks in room to stretch, it more than makes up for in the unexpected amenities of low-maintenance living: the ability to put your place on wheels and ride off into the sunset; freedom from cringe-inducing utility bills; knowing that you've pared down so much that you could take a year off and see the world...but I digress.
|
|
There's nothing wrong with that on the surface, except that there can only be one officially correct answer for each entry (unless it's a Schrödinger puzzle, but I digress.) Some solvers will immediately see the "correct" answer — or at least the answer that is meant to fit in the slot that day — and others will have to make their way to it by sheer dint of imagination.
|
|
I digress: what Apple claimed in 2016 was that it didn't actually have the existing ability to unlock a customers' iPhone for the feds, even if they were an alleged killer, and that Apple wasn't willing to build a backdoor into every iPhone just to make that happen — because it could potentially create a dangerous loophole that hackers could take advantage of as well.
|
|
I can tell you some things that have really helped me, no matter what size I was: Looking at real photos of other women of my general size at MyBodyGallery, or looking at the #30secondtransformation hashtag on Instagram where women show the difference that posing, lighting, and clothing make in how their bodies look (some are quite clearly still posing too hard in their "before" photos, but I digress).
|
|
The long and the short of it is this: Hometown hero Bryce Harper beat Chicago's slimmed-down big boy Kyle Schwarber in a wildly entertaining final round last night in Washington, D.C. and Cubs fans (I assume??) are none too happy because of a rule that I do not think I have ever seen enforced (that could simply be because "Home Run Derby Rulebook" has not quite made the summer reading list yet, but I digress
|
|
But I digress.) We're so used to assuming celebrities find more joy in partying on yachts with Leonardo DiCaprio in St. Tropez than spending a few quiet days away from the chaos of their everyday lives in L.A. or N.Y.C. But a recent trip I took (on behalf of Ford to celebrate the arrival of their newest model, the Ford EcoSport) to one particular celeb hotspot in southern California gave me a window into where stars really go when they want to unwind.

Digression as a rhetorical device can also be found in present-day sermons: after introducing the topic, the speaker will introduce a story that seems to be unrelated, return to the original topic, and then use the story to illustrate the speaker's point. Unintentional digressions in informal conversation and discussion are common. Speakers commonly use the phrase "But I digress..." after a digression to express the shift back to the main topic. Many examples of this use can already be found in 19th-century publications.

The question of who created the character of Venom became an issue of contention in 1993 when Michelinie wrote to the comic book industry magazine Wizard, which had referred to Michelinie in issue #17 as "co-creator" of Venom.

Daredevil is seen as more mature, but also "selfish" (he kept his secret identity instead of saving the judge's life), and Spider-Man is seen as "righteous, but blinded" for doing what his conscience tells him but giving in to bloodlust.
