If you’re going to dream, might as well go big.

…and eating lobster

some form of providence intervened

Providence?!?! Rhode Island ?!?!?

Not excited about getting my impacted wisdom teeth back. I’m starting to think God’s a bit of a dick.

My first web browser was Mosaic version 1. I ran version 2 alpha for a bit.

Netscape started doing things better so I moved over to it.

Over the years I’ve bounced around from Netscape, Firefox, Opera, Chrome, and a few others (the MS browsers never really swayed me). It seemed like every year I’d be moving to a new platform or version. I usually have 3-4 browsers installed on my computers at any given time.

Once Chrome blocked uOrigin I moved over to Firefox. Easy.

The point is, to get the best (and safest) browsing experience, you have to be flexible. If you just use the thing that “came with the computer” you’re going to have a bad time. If Chrome wants to break your browsing experience, ditch it.

I think you can just assume at this point the US government does not care about the constitution or it’s people and will use any means necessary to collect data on those who wish to counter its growing authoritarian nature.

If you go to a protest, only take a burner phone or no phone at all. If you must take your phone, turn it off and Faraday cage it.

The US has become a failed state. Leave if you can. Things will only get worse before it completely implodes.

I was angrily wishing I could preheat the oven while I was on my way home from work. That’s when I realized the reason for a WiFi oven.

Maybe a better oven is better than wifi. It only takes my oven a few minutes to get up to temp.

I come home, turn it on, fiddle with “getting home shit”, and by the time I’m done it’s ready to go. No wifi needed.

That’s a pretty basic program with simple software needs.

If the programming is such shit there is a chance they need connectivity to update it or patch the code once it’s gone into production, it might be best to look into another product.

I think you mistake me for someone else. I’ve made no argument here.

Having said that, I think you need to start doing something yesterday. You need to start shooting at ICE if they come masked, without badges or identifying names. You have no way to distinguish them from random cartel kidnappers.

If you have no idea who they are, what department they work under, if they have a valid order to take a person, or information where they are taking that person, and no way to lodge a complaint against the agent, this is basically an outlaw. A threat. A risk to life, liberty and happiness.

These people should be shot at.

They’re wimpy birds and eat dead shit like vultures. I hate bald eagles.

The big word is YET.

They are funding ICE with 10 billion dollars. ICE will not be used just for immigration. It will be filled with Nationalist goons and thugs and ICE will be the group that goes after citizens and dissenters.

Give it a year and large protests against the current regime will probably not be allowed.

My gaming computer is in an old 4 unit rack mount server case. I think there is some sort of RGB nonsense on the motherboard, but you can’t see it once the computer is racked.

Fuck RGB shit.

Stephen Miller is basically a Nazi

He’s a fucking JEWISH Nazi - which is the worst kind of self loathing Nazi.

He’d be the first in the showers when the real Nazis come to town.

He’s a pathetic loser.

I gave one of these to my girlfriend the day before I had to go away on business for 2 months.

She said “What is this for?”

I said “It’s a replacement for my you-know-what.”

She said “Oh, ok. I think I get it.”

I got home 2 months later and she had 3 chipped teeth.

True this. I love camping but survival type campers say my version of camping isn’t actually camping.

I’m sorry, but just because the campground has a sign out front that says “hotel” doesn’t mean I’m not camping. I’m roughing it man. I don’t even have my own pillow.

I once spent 45 minutes trying to get ChatGPT to write a haiku. It couldn’t do it. It explained what syllables were, and the rules for the syllables in a haiku, but it didn’t understand it.

Phones and tablets. The younger generations are only using those for the most part.

The LAST thing I’d do with my mobile phone is install Facebook or Instagram. What a nightmare.
