It’s About Time

Back when I first got Winston, he had a bit of separation anxiety. He chewed stuff. Like these: That's not an inexpensive pair of ropers. Look at the doofus in the background. I've just been wearing them anyhow. My pants leg covers them. But now, the soles are worn. They've had at least one new … Continue reading It’s About Time →

Yeah. No Shit.

One of the series I binge watched when I was recovering from Cancer therapy was "Locked Up Abroad". The premise is simple. Doofuses go to another country, think they are still in America or will be treated differently because they are American, break the law, and get a taste of the local flavor of punishment … Continue reading Yeah. No Shit. →

This is How They Do It

Windows 10 is being discontinued. Microsoft is working hard to make sure your computer is now useless unless you subscribe to Windows 11. I got an email earlier this month warning me, yet again, that no updates would come after the (I think) October date. You could, however, purchase your own 3rd party security, which … Continue reading This is How They Do It →

Losing It

The other day, I lamented the end of my Thinkpad. Well, rumors of it's demise are premature. Behold: I got to thinking - the power strip was off the other night when the light should've automatically turned on. I turned it on, but that may have been after the laptop died. It was even easier … Continue reading Losing It →

Gremlins Running Wild

A great day, tater. Came back from walking the dogs this morning, and found this: Fuck. That's a Samsung monitor I bought back in 2020. Seems old, but the working monitor to the left is a Samsung, an earlier version of this one, that I bought well before this one. I farted with it awhile, … Continue reading Gremlins Running Wild →

The Green Eyed Monster Posts

The big thing this week was the Sidney Sweeney outrage. Others have posted on it, some probably better than me, like BCE, Filthie, and Didact. PJW had the best take: https://youtu.be/0ppKcOgGpPM?si=fDND7nnMR8nROQJI I love the Indian woman in this video that says she was triggered because the video brought her back to when she was an … Continue reading The Green Eyed Monster Posts →

Screwed Again

This appeared in my inbox: I got the Skype bailout email a week ago or so and promptly cancelled my account. It's a shame. I had a Skype number and would use it to make calls from my desktop. It's nice to have another number when you call businesses so that you don't get pestered … Continue reading Screwed Again →

Me Too

Seen on Vox Popoli last week: I don’t want wacky, I don’t want diversity, and I don’t want inclusivity when I’m travelling. I want serious, highly-competent ex-military men in their mid-50s who could land a plane in their sleep. And if I owned this airline, I’d immediately fire every single one of these jokers for … Continue reading Me Too →

Aww….Hell no..

This hit my inbox: I noticed this pop up on my office laptop as I was working. A dopy copilot icon following my mouse to each paragraph. Fuck me. Now I need to start searching how to shut this shit off. I'm an adult. I know how to use the app. I know how to … Continue reading Aww….Hell no.. →

Weak and Lazy

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—Because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—Because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—Because I was not a Jew. Then they … Continue reading Weak and Lazy →
