I've been in network security in a past life. There's a balance between complexity (such as passwords) and irritation (like auto locking the desktop). Crank down too hard, and humans start thwarting your efforts. For instance, make the password parameters too tough, and your workers will write it on a sticky, or under their keyboard. … Continue reading Done Tom Turkey

Upping My Game
IPhones have great cameras these days. But I find that when I want to catch a good shot, I run into their limitations. For instance, if you zoom in, the resolution suffers. This is sort of a big deal, since when I try to take images of the dogs, or even birds around here, they … Continue reading Upping My Game
I’d Eat That
PJ Media had a piece on a number of invasive species we should be chowing down on. Let's size them up: Nutria The first item on the list is the nutria. To be honest, I didn't think we'd start with a large rodent, but here we are. I once spent an hour or so in … Continue reading I’d Eat That
Let Papa Fix It
There was an episode of Duck Commander where Jase found a Nutria along the road, roadkilt. Apparently Louisiana will pay for proof of dead Nutrias. You simply have to present the tail as evidence.

It's nice to have another number when you call businesses so that you don't get pestered … Continue reading Screwed Again
Everything’s Bigger in Texas

Jasmin Crockett (Idiot-Dallas). Just when you thought AOC and the squad couldn't be beat, look who wins election. We've always … Continue reading Everything’s Bigger in Texas
Getting Fit
Weigh-in this month had me at the same weight I've been for the last three months. Heavier than I prefer, but my clothes still fit well, if not somewhat loose. This could be due to a number of reasons. The first is that I stopped being as fastidious with my diet on weekends. The girl … Continue reading Getting Fit
Frogmouth Rides Again
Loud mouth, perpetual malcontent, and rabble-rouser Michael Moore weighs in on Immigration: “Who’s really being removed by ICE tonight?” he wrote in the post. “The child who would’ve discovered the cure for cancer in 2046? The 9th grade nerd who would’ve stopped that Astroid that’s gonna hit us in 2032?” - Michael Moore Apparently, he … Continue reading Frogmouth Rides Again

Homey having a bone while watching me. The blue lights are Wyze smart bulbs, programmed to be blue at night whilst I watch the YouTubes.
