Serious hat for a moment, but the idea that Canadians burnt the White House is a misconception. It was British soldiers from units raised outside of Canada, which had been sent over for the war which did that.

This is the strangest political compass meme I’ve ever seen.

Took my freshly re-cobbled together computer to local computer guy after an upgrade with hand-me-down parts. He asked what was wrong and I said there was an alarm for the CPU fan, and that I’d torn the case open and hooked a second fan into the CPU fan connection and it also didn’t work, and the I plugged the CPU fan into a different connection and got it working, so by elimination I was pretty sure the fans were good and the connection in the motherboard was bad.

He seemed mildly amused/impressed by my spiel. I’m not really a computer person, but swapping out parts to narrow down the source of the problem seemed logically basic.

I ended up chilling with him while he worked on things. He found WinZip on my desktop and let out a “whoa retro.” which hurt me deeply.

I was in a museum last week that held some of the “greats” of modern and post modern movements, and I much preferred the other galleries.

Mark Rothko’s abstract expressionism:

Vs

Van Gogh.

For me, it’s not even close.

This choice is a real cold shoulder to the true sub zero hero.

Strange, I see the OP picture as red, but this one as black & white.

Art is subjective, but for me being in a museum and going from Impressionism and post impressionism, and into a modern and post modern gallery is like a slap in the face.

In my experience, all I feel is it goes from beautiful paintings with high skill level used by artists to visually manipulate form and shape to create coherent but stylized images, to “check out this crushed oil drum, really makes you think huh?”

You can still see the remnants of trying to address the “realism” issue with things like Riker existing at all. Writing in an XO was supposed to divide responsibilities; keep the captain on the ship to make choices and put the XO on away missions to karate chop Klingons. However if that had been stuck to rigidly, Picard would never be written into many exciting situations.

MACOs on ENT should have logically made Malcolm redundant, but the show kept finding things for him to do.

Sir, this is a Quark’s Bar.

I am viewing from intention as written, when written for the films. It seems plausible that “Darth Jar Jar” or something similar could have been an original, but abandoned intention.

The allegories are coming out of the walls man.

I’ll put it there so I don’t have to argue that the crowd isn’t full of people stuck on layovers.

You know what, if the Circle is owned by the airport then you’ve got me in regards to it being owned by the airport. However the terminals are across the street, the Circle is open to simply walk into from the street.

To get to the Circle from the airport terminals you must take your bags and can not reenter. Nobody in the photo stuck on a layover is here unless they are willing to leave the airport and go through security again.

There were locals because as soon as the game ended, they dispersed down the street and also I took the picture while being invited by locals to watch.

[dial up Internet noises]

If it’s right across the street, why are there signs pointing to the different terminals in the building

I don’t know what you think you’re seeing, but the airport is on the other side of the street.

Now I’m kinda glad it’s mostly just a bunch of travelers waiting at an airport that would otherwise miss the game

It isn’t a bunch of people inside an airport, it’s across the street from the airport. These are locals watching.

It is across the street from the airport.
