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
Category: Fuck this.
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
Of Course They Are…
Money grubbing ass-hats, that is: Microsoft has always been a money grubbing bunch of @#$$)!! - OldNFO Found this originally on Old NFO's Substack. This isn't a big surprise. Tech companies love them some subscriptions, cloud ones especially. This way they control the whole magilla and simply collect money. Prior to that, and even still … Continue reading Of Course They Are…
Predisposition
Lot of armchair lawyer and bug eyed spasmodic loony opinion is floating on the interwebs about the Pretti fiasco up in Minneapolis. No one, but no one, waits for the real story to come out. I was out walking the pups when it hit my head - Hold up...this is Minneapolis, a blue city. What … Continue reading Predisposition
Darwin Award Earned
Now that the excitement over that woman in Minneapolis winning a Darwin award, more of the truth is seeping out. What we've seen this week is all narrative, starting with the image of her, long hair, pregnant mom. Why, she was just coming home from the school run when she was gunned down for absolutely … Continue reading Darwin Award Earned
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
Fashion Woes
I have a plan to up my fashion game for the fall, which I'm mostly done. I donated all the old clothes that no longer fit, and started buying new ones. I bought two new sport coats, grey tweed, and blue. I thought I'd get my black one tailored to fit, but when I took … Continue reading Fashion Woes
