I think I dated Apple back in college.

One of my favorite details in Civil War was the the fact that the leader of the western alliance strike team was wearing a Hawaiian shirt. It seemed simultaneously absurd and hyper-realistic.

“Made in Italy” is sometimes just “Made in China”. Chinese factory staffed by Chinese labor in a Chinese “factory town”, that happens to be in Italy. You are not getting the hand made, expertly constructed, master craftmanship you are paying for.

That headline is a brand new sentence.

I know all the dog’s names in my neighborhood and not a single human.

I see you Okaloosa.

I see your refrigerator and raise you a freestanding oven. The one with coils.

I live in Jackson, Wyoming. We have the highest per capita number of billionaires cosplaying at “normal guy” in the nation. It’s a thing. They come up here, switch to their “mountain casual” clothes (bonus points if well worn), get in a ten year old Subaru and go to the bar and have a beer with “the locals”. Maybe a trip to the Idaho side and hit Victor, Driggs, or Tetonia.

It would have been a classic for the ages. The spike through the mouth alone is enough to make it live in infamy.

“Libera te tutemet ex inferis.”

I think remembering that, at least in movies, it originated with Event Horizon is critical because it is the only one that takes into account any downside to transdimensional travel…and what a downside it was.

I will always mourn the loss of any possible director’s cut of Event Horizon where the footage was so insanely over the top that the execs almost shit their pants.

Everyone should follow the tipping guidelines from the olden days of when I was a child (80’s). I was taught that you tip your server, your barber/stylist, your driver (taxi/delivery) and the bell boy/valet. For the most part this still works today.

• 10% meh
• 15% good
• 20% exceptional
• Bell boy / valet $5 flat rate

Imagine if someone fucked up the code and this worked.

Make a list of things you do often on Windows. Figure out how to do them on Linux. I split mine into three main groups and each group was split into specific requirements. First, I figured out how to do all aspects of my work . Then I focused on gaming and finally music.

Yep. I used to live in Austin, plus I don’t fly so I drive everywhere. Buc-Cee’s and Cracker Barrel are my refuge on the road.

I am and will always be an ally. Mildred though. 😬

I do not give a fuck who is D on the ticket. I’m still voting D because the alternative is disastrous. If Biden stays, I am voting for him. With the exception of the Israeli genocide of Palestinians, the administration has been very competent. Remember, that old man doesn’t do much. The work is done by his team. Now think back on the work and damage the Trump team did. The choice is easy.
