About the dumbest thing I’ve seen

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 →

Alexa’s Dumb

I have Amazon Alexa devices. Why? Because I like the audio quality and I like to listen to my local AM news station in the morning. They'll light up with announcements, like Amazon deliveries or weather. But the main thing I use them for is media. Keep in mind, I worked with voice processing software … Continue reading Alexa’s Dumb →

Got the Fatigue

SNAP benefits are supposed to run out this weekend. I found this on woodsterman. Is that so? Right up front you can see the idiocy here. Telling the world where you'll be and when to commit crimes is a rookie mistake. Didn't Jesus have a parable about this? If the master knew the time and … Continue reading Got the Fatigue →

Ripped Off

Over a month ago, I bought a few hats from these clowns. Within a week, I regretted it. Just like something else I found on Facebook, it looked like they drop shipped it from overseas, and I was in for a long wait for my stuff. Same dopey shipping process that sends endless updates. I … Continue reading Ripped Off →

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 that I'm up and down every week runs through farms and ranches. And more often than not, there's some nitwit in … Continue reading That Explains It →

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 →

Hate It

I've had a gutful of Microsoft this week, so far. I got the new corporate laptop. Seems like a decent machine, a Dell Latitude. It doesn't have the retina screen like my Thinkpad. On the other hand, I have trouble seeing that high a resolution. It matches the curved flatscreen monitor I use. It has … Continue reading Hate It →

Dealing with Pups

I hate puppies. I said this before. Not the canine kind. The human kind. When I have to deal with zoomers, I'm like that old grizzled dog that doesn't want to be bothered by over the top pups. The Zman had a piece on that which resonated with me. Big time. ...The younger generation seems … Continue reading Dealing with Pups →

One of Them Weeks

What a soul sucking week. I started yesterday on the phone to the FSA provider. You see, my dentist's business manager thought she was doing me a favor by invoicing me for whitening treatment, saying they wouldn't cover it, which is bullshit. It's an FSA. I can spend those funds on medical costs not covered … Continue reading One of Them Weeks →
