In June we moved from the Fried Chicken to the chef’s nostrils. Now we are boogers

I love this so much. I hate where software has gone.

Me in the winter of 1979, halfway through my sophomore year of high school. I’m taking a sheet-rocking class and can’t stop coughing and sneezing.

What can I transfer to?

Well we have this new class about computers?

I dunno what the fuck that means but I can’t keep sheetrocking.

I walk into a room full of DecWriters and teletypes.

To connect to the computer you dial this phone number when you hear this weird noise you push the phone into these rubber cups.

You talk to that computer using this thing called BASIC. You can actually get the computer to do things!

I remember my first guess a number program, and printing it out to show my dad. He didn’t understand it but thought it was cool I did.

45 years later I’m still making computers do things through code. All thanks to BASIC.

But it IS how we see prices. If there weren’t science behind it, they wouldn’t be doing it.

Such a great show, but the writing in season 5 was bad enough to make me but want to watch the second half.

I probably still will, but it’s a series with a big asterisk next to it on my list of favorites.

Holy smokes I’m sorry. I didn’t know if my story can encourage you or not, but maybe it will.

I got married in 1987. Not quite 20 years in in 2006, we split up. I was unhappy, and became an asshole and walked out in her and my three sons. I realized almost immediately that I couldn’t look myself in the mirror. And twenty months later we decided to give it a shot. It lasted almost two years before the wheels finally came off for good.

So here I am, not quite 50 and very single. I met another girl, we became a couple and have now been together 13 years.

It can happen. You can find happiness again

Absolutely fucking brilliant.

This is a fantastic post. Thank you. I do know that the Feds often use the Commerce Clause to put the lie to my original statement, but with the abandonment of Roe, I’ve repeatedly heard “it’s in the hands of the States” so maybe my hope is that someone somewhere my see a need to remain intellectually consistent.

Pipe dream, but a nice thought.

Not progressive, and I roll my eyes at many things California does. That said I 100% applaud this. I wish more states used their power as individual states to reign in the Federal government.

Remember The Constitution says any rights not specifically granted to the Feds are the States.

Good for California.

Or, as it is the Fifth of November, watch V for Vendetta.

Not an A’s fan but a baseball fan. Today I am wearing my Oakland A’s cap, cause fuck Fisher.

I tell people that I’m 247.5 Oreo Cookies tall.

You can try The Free Press their coverage starts at 7pm Eastern tomorrow.

This sounds like exactly my response to a ”Christian” movie. They are so ridiculously bad because to earn the label “Christian” they have to be preachy.

We had just moved from Portland to Denver, and were trying new restaurants. One Sunday we ordered delivery from a local Chinese place that had good reviews. Food came, we ate and all was good for a couple of hours.

Then my wife said "I think I’m gonna puke* and dashed for the bathroom. Being the good husband, I followed her to hold her hair while she worshipped the porcelain god.

She had barely got done emptying the content of her stomach, when I literally had to shove her out of the way to emoty mine.

We were both miserable for about 36 hours.

I just finished listening to all 14 Honor Harrington novels.

Thank you for sharing that.

Riding a motorcycle you get a lot of good looks into the vehicles of erratic drivers. People on their phones are far more dangerous than drunks.

Reminiscent of the garage finds in the Forza Horizon games.

Ok, this is crazy, this is an anarchism community and I’m downvoted for claiming voting is immoral? What s bunch of fucking hypocrites.
