  • I wish I could after on the guns things but I should not own a gun! I have a history of depression and I super don’t want to have easy access.

    That said, put a gun in my hands and I’ll do my part to end fascism. I’m even a fairly decent shot for having only fired a gun 3 different times. Just please take the thing away from me when I rotate out.

    Better yet, get me an fpv headset.

  • I think the part that always pissed me off more is that it doesn’t really matter where it came from! No one is really trying to let out a virus to ravage the planet… Unless they’re a bond villain.

    We need to figure out where it came from because it’s important to prevent it happening in the future but politicizing it was always pretty fixing stupid.

    What is more important is we have a new virus that is brutal and we need to stop or show its spread. My parents were on the Fox News bandwagon and would always tell me that I believe they’re crazy for thinking it came from China. I tried so many times to explain to them, it doesn’t matter where it came from, it’s out, in the global population, and we need to try to mitigate and prevent damage.




  • Holy shit TV Guide! I forgot about those! They’d just show up in the mail every week, I have no idea who was sending them or why but inevitably they’d be in the mailbox!

    The first time I went to a friend’s house and they had a guide on the TV my mind was blown!

    Oh and Tivo too! I learned about Tivo from a friend and had never even heard of DVR before that! The idea that you could just record TV at will was mind-blowing! I was like, “yeah but where do you put the cassette?”


  • You know I don’t work with fractions of an inch on a daily basis… Or even monthly. But inevitably a couple times a year it’s relevant. Every single time I have to take 3/4 multiply it by 2 and get 6/8, then I have to subtract 1/8 to get to 5/8. Repeat ad nauseum to get to whatever time fraction is needed.

    It’s frustrating and slow and makes me feel dumb.

    That said last time I did it, I measured a 1/8th difference between cabinets we ordered from IKEA and the space they went in and I’ll tell you what, I felt like a genius when it all just fit, perfectly.
