Found this on the thread about my company at thelayoff.com Why in all the name of what's holy would you surf sites like these, or any non business site on your company provided machine? Naughty sites? Really? Back in the day when I was a network engineer, we had exception alerts running and pulled reports … Continue reading About the dumbest thing I’ve seen

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 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?
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?
On some level, the system works.
Karmelo Anthony was found guilty. Of course he was. He did it. He admitted to doing it. A conga line of 21 witnesses, a handful of them black, said he did it. Their stories (all similar) told a far different tale than the one the rabble outside was telling. Even the witnesses supposedly on his … Continue reading On some level, the system works.
What a waste of money
My FSA card is frozen. You know why? I bought toothpaste at my dentist, and had a filling. But my papers were not in order. Since my face was blasted by radiation, I need to use a prescription toothpaste. My dentist makes it easy. I can simply ask for it, and pay there, rather than … Continue reading What a waste of money
I’m dubious.
Datacenters are the newest NIMBY (not in my backyard) things, as if they were a gasoline refinery. On some level, I get this. What's hyped is they'll suck up all the power, they'll grab all the water, all for a addition of jobs in the single digits. That last one, I believe. The others, notsomuch. … Continue reading I’m dubious.
Thieves
Friggin Thieves. Months ago, one of my Bulova watches battery died. I took it to the local watch repair and the lady put in a battery. But that battery was too thick so it would stop when she put the case back on. She said she'd have to order the battery. I said I'd come … Continue reading Thieves
AI Lunacy
I'm a tool ho. I've been using them since I was a kid. I remember me and one of my friends doing something stupid with his dad's tools and being reprimanded. The old man told us to use the proper tool, the way it was intended. We may have been hitting nails with his pipe … Continue reading AI Lunacy
The Scarlet Letter
That would be the letter "A", for Anti-Semite, and it's the one they are trying to brand on Tucker Carlson's forehead. Two of the main news sites I hit - PJMedia and Ace of Spades bag on the dude nearly daily. I don't get it. He's little different than any other podcaster, like Rogan. He … Continue reading The Scarlet Letter
