I read a post on Mastodon from someone in Ontario Canada that was proposing shutting off all export of oil and electricity to the US. The thing that made me doubt this was they were also calling for impeaching 45 (again!). That would leave Vance which scares me even more.
My father’s career advise to my brother and me was “Make lots of money so I can come live with you when I get old.”
My brother didn’t like that advise so he did a bunch of research and asked a bunch of people about their careers. He got a masters in an Engineering field but hated working in that field. So he got another masters. He doesn’t use it for his career.
I studied Chemistry and left grad school to do software development with no degree in it (it was the 80s). I never used my degree either.
Confronting my dad about his bad career advise would have just gotten his Standard Response to Criticism™–But I’m lovable.
And no he never lived with either of us. But then he never go old.
Pasolini’s SALO. Images from it corrupt my brain.
Although with the state of both Target’s near me, there’s often stuff out of stock.
peroxide – come on. The last time Target didn’t have peroxide or rubbing alcohol was during the pandemic lockdown. What their excuse NOW?
Hershey’s Almond Nuggets – OK. They’re popular. So if there’s only 1 bag left, you should maybe order more.
t-shirts in my size – the men’s accessory clothing section was a disaster. I don’t know when the last time a sales associate tidied up, but there were underwear sizes all mixed up from different brands (Fruit of the Loom, Hanes, etc.) and quality. I had to buy what I wanted on-line.
It’s gotten so that I don’t trust either of my Target’s to have stuff I buy there on a regular basis.
I disabled History and only see my channel subscriptions. None of the options above appear in my Youtube feed.
I hope the insurance carrier that covers this school district sends them a letter saying that their anti-litigation insurance will be cancelled in the coming year. And because they failed to “take steps to decrease bullying”, all litigation claims until then will have a $10,000 coverage cap.
This should make enterprising attorneys quite enthusiastic to find students who’ve been buillied. I’m sure there’s at least 1 trans kid out there.
Let’s hope the bomber(s) did something stupid like not wear gloves when handling the wires used to build the thing. Or one of the other components like the batteries, which they bought from a Chinese supplier that sells through Amazon, who keeps records.
Likely it will be some locally generated dim bulb. One can only hope they’ll mention friends who helped over a can of pro-offered Coke. Or someone extracts it with “rubber hose methods” before the police discover said dim bulb.

I got hit by this AT&T usage cap for internet downloads. I went through 250GB of downloads in less than a month. Most of it was internet backups of a newly installed system. They don’t offer a data tier without a cap in my area so I was stuck paying $10/10GB over that month. Next month I added a $30 unlimited data charge to my bill. That’s OK as I’m consistently going over their cap again due to backups. Unless I buy much more expensive plan from a commercial provider and pay for Fibre installation, I’m stuck.
40 years ago at UCLA, I had to do my FORTRAN programs on punch cards submitted through the batch system. The CS/Math department (no CS department then), only offered 1 section in FORTRAN with 40 others in PASCAL. And it was taught by an Engineering professor. Why would a Chemistry major take a computer science class? Remember all those shiny machines CSI uses to do forensic analysis? They came from chem labs.
I’m wondering if the unit owner is going to claim a home office deduction on their 1040. It will definitely trigger an audit.
Didn’t hear what she had to say but a friend said is was definitely going to be the basis of SNL’s cold open this weekend.
Never talk to management over the phone. Get it in writing either as a text or email.
