It's amazing and amusing how much MAGA hates Kyle Clark and how much they think their weak insults and attacks will bother him.

It's similar to folks who pronounce SQL Server as "es-que-l server" instead of "sequel server".

That is acceptable. But vinyl records are not "vinyls" and they are not played on "vinyl players".

Some print advertisements from Audio Magazine from 1974-1982. No "vinyl players" here!

Incoming rant: Vinyl records are not "vinyls" and turntables (or record players) are not "vinyl players"!

Nobody called them that back in the day, including the record companies and equipment manufacturers who made them, the print advertisements, the product reviews, etc.

Come and get me.

AMD Stock History over the past 5 days

Wow, AMD stock since the OpenAI deal was announced.

Yes, but you have said that you don't really like writing serialized versions.

It is obviously more difficult and more work, which makes sense.

Some Talking Heads for a Saturday night.

This old Sansui 7070 receiver is a sexy beast!

This is a pretty slow L2 charger.

I'm only using it because it is handy and I have a bunch of credits on ChargePoint

I normally charge at home at about 12 KW

I found a huge brown praying mantis just a few days ago. I only remember seeing much smaller green ones as a child.

There is a certain kind of Army officer who, after the excitement of company command, finds his career stalled, and who perhaps leaves the service as a major in the National Guard filled with bitterness and resentment. He may then dream of one day being in a position to make all the superior officers who failed to appreciate his leadership qualities, his insight, his sheer fitness stand to attention and hear him lay down the law about what it is to be an officer, and threaten to fire those who do not meet his standards. In this respect, and this respect only, on that stage Pete Hegseth was living the dream. In all other respects, however, he was ridiculous...

I did not expect this kind of fire from Eliot Cohen, but he has Hegseth absolutely pegged www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Got my Moderna Covid-19 booster today!

RFK Jr. can suck it!

I especially like how the ICE goons like to dress up and cosplay as Special Forces style "operators" and then show how incompetent and out of shape they really are.

Some good Rage Against the Machine for Portland!

Sony XA20ES CD player going to a Yamaha C-60 Stereo Control Amplifier and then to a Yamaha C-80 Stereo Power Amplifier connected to Martin Logan Foundation F2 speakers.

Yet another reorganize of the office systems.

Yeah, MAGA claimed that most of Portland burned down back in 2020...

So far, Microsoft has not done that much to leverage AVX-512 in SQL Server. It helps some Columnstore Batchmode operations and a few other relatively minor things.

You have to enable TF 15097 to get AVX-512 support.

Nice job, John. AMD server CPUs are the better choice for SQL Server workloads compared to Intel.

Hitting 105W Brewing in Castle Rock. It's a beautiful fall day!

YouTube video by Jimmy Kimmel Live Jimmy Kimmel is Back!

Nearly 7 million views for ABC's official YouTube video of Kimmel's 28-minute monologue overnight. It is already the most-viewed Kimmel clip of the year on YouTube. www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1tj...

I thought "the rapture" was supposed to happen today...

Got to see and meet John Scalzi today at @tatteredcover in Denver!

A wonderful time last night. Denver, see you this afternoon at Tattered Cover!

This is such a massive self-own by the idiots in the Trump regime.

South Korea is/was a valuable ally and friend. Having ICE publicly grab several hundred Koreans and humiliate them won't soon be forgotten by people in South Korea.
