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.

That Explains It

The number of fools doing this is directly proportional to the number of locusts around here, bringing their strange and idiotic driving habits. It's worse on some of the country roads I use.

One of the things that trips me up are dumb movies. To me, if a movie has an unbelievable premise, or it's one where things are implausible and … Continue reading Dumb Movies →
