Dewayne at Tack Room Bible Talk wonders if he's done. https://youtu.be/_KvYf8CBgSE A few weeks ago, he announced that he and his wife of 34 years or so are getting divorced. Man, oh man, where have I seen that before. Oh! with me, that's where! As an aside, what's up with these middle aged women detonating … Continue reading I’m with him.

There’s no magic dirt
Caught a story on Zero Hedge about third worlders doing third world things: “They throw all their garbage out of their windows. We are living in literal shit. We never asked for this.” No one should have to live like this. No one should have to live like this is the line of the century … Continue reading There’s no magic dirt
The end of competence
I heard a piece the other day about the end of competence. You just can't get shit done right these days. Dudes that know how to do stuff are mostly dying off or retiring. Now, that's not to say you can't find pockets of competence here and there. For instance, when I tried to get … Continue reading The end of competence
The Odyssey. Who cares?
Not this guy. That's who. I'm not that into movies these days, unless its a proven actor or a storyline that I like. Who's to say I wouldn't like Homer's Odyssey, but I'm certain I wouldn't like Christopher Nolan's version. Victor Hansen used to teach this in his classics class, both in English and Greek. … Continue reading The Odyssey. Who cares?
You’ll never get ahead like that
A Buc-ees fan I found on my YouTube thread: https://youtu.be/XXcDCQ03QZA?si=ay-LFzD8q6GPddU7 The title gave it away. That wasn't visible on my feed. So another chick with a hot-take, sitting in her car after being let go by Buc-ees She gives a litany of what's wrong working at Buc-ees. It's a long list: They'll write you up … Continue reading You’ll never get ahead like that
So what?
Found on Woodsterman: No shit. It never has. Minimum wage was never meant for the breadwinners in a family. Those are mostly miserable jobs that are a powerful incentive to better yourself. For me, back in the day, it was to pay for books, gas, fast food, and beer money. And who are we talking … Continue reading So what?
Who’s building all these damn datacenters?
I was listening to a bit the other day on the morning news talk show here on the radiobox about the data centers being built here. A lot of complaints. Which is funny, because I see pro-Texas datacenter ads all the time on the YouTubes. Most of the complaints are misguided. Fact of the matter … Continue reading Who’s building all these damn datacenters?
It’s all so tiresome.
That image is poignant with what I'm about to go into. That is the protagonist (one of them) in a documentary named "Empire of Dust". I've watched it many times and crack up each time. In that scene, he's watching a crew of Congolese workers struggle with fixing the tailgate on a dump truck they've … Continue reading It’s all so tiresome.
