I long for the days when the fucks came at such a leisurely pace that you had time to ask "what the fuck?" before the next one struck.

Was gonna say, the cartoon may as well have "Powell's" written on the side of the building.

I've had mine at least as long. I think I've replaced the battery twice now, and it's due for another. The one it has now is too weak to run on high and on medium holds about enough charge for one brushing.

The best thing about having my own internet domain is seeing all the email coming from "admin@<mydomain>.com" telling me that my account is being suspended.

Thundersnow!

DC is just one variant of the Marvel multiverse. Or Marvel is a variant of DC's multiverse. That's the beauty of a multiverse.

Sadly, I don't think these messages actually ARE illegal. I assume those statutes exist and are as described. If that's the case then it's simply stating a fact. Not trying to excuse the messages, they're repugnant. I just don't think they're illegal. (Please, prove me wrong!)

Fun bit of serendipity just now. Hung up with the doctor and complained to my wife, "Stupid American healthcare system." The phone resumed playing the #GodAwfulMovies podcast and I heard, "Dumb. Everything is So. Fucking. DUMB!" You said it, Noah. Couldn't agree more.

And Strange New Worlds.

Don't forget the water tank not holding water and the electrical system freaking out.

"Vow of transparency"? From this administration I believe that about as much as a vow of poverty or a vow of celibacy.

I'm not sure that just replacing the fuse with a bigger one is the recommended solution...

That's my bet. Disabling accounts has been SOP pretty much everywhere for decades. Even back in the 90s one person I worked with found out he was fired because he couldn't login one morning; IT had accidentally killed his account a little too soon.

No, Red Hulk is known as the Credulous Hulk. He's angry all the time because he believes every whacko conspiracy theory that comes across Twitter.

I don't think there's any one person/group behind it, it's just a convergence of interests. Trump wants to be seen as a strong man. Musk, politicians, etc. play along because Trump is *so* easy to manipulate that they can use him to fulfill their own ends.

Nothing piques my interest quite so much as a cryptic message and instruction to ignore it.

It's a good old fashioned U.P. blizzard out there right now. When I took the dogs out they were as happy as (pre-internet) kids on a snow day. We didn't stay out long, because *I* think it's nasty, I'm not a kid, and I do have the internet.

Paper beats rock. Rock beats scissors. Dremel beats expired metal credit card.

I went to the optometrist today and they dilated my pupils. So guess what the weather did for the first day in a month? BRIGHT. SHINY. SUN. Reflecting off the all the snow. Not to worry though, now that I'm home it's clouding up again and it's sure to be completely overcast by stargazing o'clock.

I feel like I need this on a t-shirt.

Looking for a new ebook reader for the iPhone, since the one I use (Marvin) was discontinued a while ago. What do people like?

And suddenly it's a bluescreen whenever I write to an SD card. Yay.

Much like Bugs and Daffy, I'm having pronoun trouble here. Is Miranda Devine saying that the point of "them" (sign language interpreters) is to reinforce "our" (anti-woke Republicans) powerlessness? Or have I made those substitutions wrong? 'Cause that seems even more batshit insane than usual.

We got a half pound of sliced ham in its original vacuum-sealed packaging. After a week or two in the fridge unopened (still well before its date) it was starting to swell, so Roxanne moved it to the freezer. It continued to swell. It's now a pressurized little bomb waiting to go off.

Testing an old 3TB USB 3.0 HDD. Works, cool. Let's format with NTFS. May as well go with "full format" instead of "quick format", 'cause why not?

Five hours and 25% later I think I found out why not.

I heard two separate mentions of "Diggy Diggy Hole" recently and fell down a (thankfully shallow) rabbit hole figuring out what it is and how it started. But now that I've got it as an earworm I have a real itch to play an all-dwarf, all-underground D&D campaign.

He wrote "contains the blast", but I read "directs the blast". You just have to know which end to point towards the building. That big ol' windshield sure isn't stainless steel.

Sure. Now we can hear all about how it's bad because it costs too much and the mine is driving down nearby property values.

Not that I actually expect they'll find it, I mostly wanted to know how long I should wait before giving up and declaring it lost. But still, the rapid call back is appreciated.

Huh. I've had a package stuck in "In transit" limbo for over 10 days, so I posted an inquiry about it to the USPS web site. Not two hours later I got a call from the local post office to say they'll look into it. A+ for responsiveness.
