I don’t log in automatically, but I do let my session login hold my password manager vault open.

Sulu is turning an indicator light like it’s a dial.

Also Spock’s boxing gloves are, famously, embroidered over the knuckle area. “Live long” on the left, and “Prosper” on the right.

Muppet Christmas Carol is the only Christmas movie I still look forward to when the Christmas season first starts. I like the changes they made to make it more family friendly while still letting Ebenezer hit a proper rock bottom with Christmas Future. Gonzo and Rizzo do a great job bringing the fully Muppetness to the story in a way that doesn’t feel unnatural at all. Two Marley’s I think helps sell the impact on Ebenezer, and it gives us the Bob Marley gag. And Micheal Cain gives it 100%, not at all hammed up because most of his costars are felt.

Most years I do find time to also watch Scrooged. Put Carol Kane in a thing, and I’m going to watch it.

Diced onions make many bean dishes better.

That sudden left turn in Gremlins scarred young me, but not as much as Billy’s total lack of interest in her story.

Would that be the station core that’s cracking, leaking, seemingly getting worse, and which they haven’t been able to fix?

My wife has enlisted friends to help me sell her yarn stash if she dies before me. There’s probably 10 large worth of high value dye lots sitting in bins around me. Her work includes a $200/month yarn shop stipend, and has for many years now.

If you want to have a tiny chance to see a perfectly good car get towed for no reason add “I have the part that fell out.”

I feel like I need OregonNukeSailor’s backstory. More for the name than the taxonomic viewpoints.

The van stereo is blaring “She Hates Me” by Puddle of Mudd

Are we coworkers?

I refer to the people here as Motorheads

I heard once that in the early days of printing (and literacy) most of Europe’s reading material was made for or by the church. And one of the things that was very popular at various points in the 16th century were books of hymns, many of which contained old latin hymns turned Christmas carols. It doesn’t explain the lack of New Years songs, but it may be why we continue to have so many Christmas songs compared to every other holiday.

I have all the keys to all the things and the delegation authority to farm out what I don’t know enough about. I’m not going to go lick the mains, but I have they the key to the building’s electrical cage.

If you know the group policy that will make my fans stop for the first time since I was forced to upgrade to 11, I will be forever in your debt. I do have admin privileges to the AD despite being pretty clueless to all things microsoft.

Its bad enough that humans are already stealing all the gator’s aid to fuel spectator sports, don’t juice out the little they still get.

It’s 2 short of “nice”

Much like xbox has become too little money for them to care about, so too is the desktop OS. At this point it is much more valuable as a tool to make people too dumb to do anything without AI.

I’ve been told I can have “not windows” on my work laptop when I’m eligible for an upgrade in September. Don’t know if that will be Linux (as requested) or a macbook. I’d prefer the former but I’ll be thrilled with either. This will finally be a microsoft free household.

I always wanted to be a fly on the wall when they named the colony (later state) of Virginia.

“We should name this place after Queen Elizabeth.”
“Excellent idea, Elizabethia it is!”
“No, no. Virginia. 'Cause she’s never… you know. Wink wink, nudge nudge.”

I’ve decided all flash fads on Lemmy are beans. So, like botanists consider tomatoes to be a fruit, I say corn is a bean.

Can I just nap?
