Wait, you think governments propping up digital ID companies that are built purely for profit and have less understanding of cybersecurity than I do about day-to-day life on Pluto is a bad thing?

I still think the web took a wrong turn when NCSA Mosaic first stated supporting inline images.

Or we know all about them and avoid them at almost all cost.

We tore our front lawn out this summer. By the time we were working in July the (clay) soil under the sod was brick hard for 18 inches before it got workable again.

The yard is now 70% native and the area with high sun is drought tolerant. It’s only been a few weeks and already the pollinators are here in force and there’s a pair of mourning doves that come by to hang out most mornings.

I’m currently catching up on Hacks, and I forgot Chris McDonald has a recurring character (who’s massively self-centered). I always appreciated him on TNG because so often he gets cast as a jerk.

Yes, yes, yes. It’s Ben Drowned Goldblum…

I am not afraid to add a layer of obscurity to any thread.

Well that should convince the last of the Canadian snowbirds to divest themselves from whatever winter assets they’ve been holding on to. RIP Florida and Arizona housing markets - they won’t be back for at least a generation.

“Excuse me, do you have a copy of the Acme catalog?”

I’m looking forward to the nothingness, the first 14billion years was nice enough. It’s the time between everyday life and nothingness that worries me.

My 20 year dislike of RoR is finally justified, regardless of me not seeing this coming.
