I see Brooks and I instantly love it! Nobody can argue that it isn't the greatest saddle. Weight weenies need not apply ๐Ÿคฃ

Now that I think about it, with DUI's back in the early 90s, your charges in town never happened, your command (Captain's Mast in the Navy) took care of you. Had a shipmate who got a DUI & he forfeited pay for at least a month, barracks jail/restriction for 30 days, and the shittiest of duties :D

Interesting, when I served, if you got popped & were active duty, they would only release you back to your command, they wouldn't even release you to a spouse back then, let alone on your own. I know from experience (underage drinking, DUI, anything you get arrested for).

Oh, love the George response! One of the all-time greatest episodes. They all killed it!

Total project is approaching 100k lines of code, and if you think about it, a 6-figured cost is very reasonable. That would be less than $10/line on average. It is a mixture of Python, C/C++ (I might switch that to Rust possibly), a ton of web shit which is easy, but shhhh. And building a new OS.

Have a potential client that has a slick ass media appliance, but it's written in Python 2.x & uses old XML stuff. They want to support HDR, which means it has to run on Wayland. Asked for a quote to make this work. Rewrite a HUGE code base to Python 3 & then some..Didn't like the 6-figure quote :D

Favorite comment thus far on that video, "Every time someone uses VPN, a child dies" :D That did make me LOL for real.

Tiffany & Miranda's answers are also a huge reason, but for many Republican's back then, Sarah Palin was the 1st Donald Trump. Many of us wanted Lieberman to be McCain's running partner, but that's when the trailer park tea party started their shit really.

And with that I will say this to you Democrats in office & running. SHUT THE FUCK UP & DO SOMETHING ALREADY! I'm in a blue state & it will stay that way for the rest of my life, so my vote really doesn't matter. I don't do politics like team sports or gang affiliation. Honestly I hate both parties.

My answer is this, Sarah Palin. I was a registered Republican then and had always voted Republican until that election. I didn't vote Obama either, that's when I started choosing 3rd party picks. This last election I went blue :)

Let's also not forget that ol' Denny Hastert here was also a wrestling coach. Sound familiar?

Man, the rest of the world has premier #TourdeFrance coverage. Watching the Sky stream and the announcers are so much better than Phil Liggett, Bob Roll, and Christian Vande Velde.

Come on #Bsky peeps, be better! There are A LOT of you making this in to yet another Twitter by posting over & over AI generated bullshit that isn't real. The fact you can't tell it isn't real is quite telling. One thing is for sure, Twitter's Community Notes or whatever is needed here, BIGLY!

This is impressive! As someone who repelled in the military, that sideways jumping & moving like that is far from easy. I remember just trying to go down at a 90 degree angle (to the wall) face first, ate shit a lot of times learning. They are doing it with ease & dancing! They make it look so easy!

Double Edge Razor Blades for wet shaving, which are awesome. And....Yeah, that's all I really got... Vodka?

Speaking of which, I do need to get some more notebooks. Maybe one of these days I'll write in them :) Yeah, I'm a notebook junkie. Rhodia & Midori make writing so much more enjoyable!

How come when I really want a delivery from Amazon it comes at 9pm, but when they are delivering a TV that could get here this evening & be good, they want to deliver between 11:15 & 2? I want to go for a bike ride & don't want a TV just hanging out on the door step.

Man, I had a fly sneak it's happy little ass in to the house. I have one of those electric fly swatters and I trapped his ass in a room with me. 15 minutes trying to shock that little bastard! My elbow hurts, I'm out of breath, and I think I might be hungry now. Getting old sucks ass!

One of my gun ranges, which as at Pax River in the early 90s, was at the end of a runway, and they had fake coyotes everywhere for the same reason. I didn't know it the first time out there and I went behind the range and came upon one. Scared the ever living shit out of me!

Well, took advantage of $93 in Amazon Gift Cards and ordered the new Roku 43" TV (2025), plus I get 10% back in rewards. Hasn't been all that bad w/o a TV honestly, but not having the Tour de France on while working has been a bummer :)

It's fake, that image was AI generated last year. If you see the full image, you will see the mangled 6 or 7 fingers on a hand that AI is notorious for.

I'm so glad to just be "coding" these days and not doing DevOps anymore ;) Getting to the point I'm thinking of just getting a job as a supermarket greeter at this point :D
