So when we say the Iranians we're stupid for having a school so close to a base . . .

Keep in mind, the US has 161 schools ON military bases.

Place looks packed (relative to how it usually is).

Not one I go out of my way to hit.

Michelle Gomez was fantastic in that role.

Took me six.

Had the last four letters and it took three guesses to get the correct first one.

My wife and I have a self-imposed limit of four tries to claim success.

Timely.

β€œPadded with power here they come,
international loan sharks backed by the guns
of market hungry military profiteers,
whose word is a swamp and whose brow is smeared
with the blood of the poor.”

Wait until they get their way.

Then the Catholics and Protestants will start fighting over whose version to use. Then the sub-sects will start fighting.

Hi. I’m from Health and Human Services.

I just want to let you know our new crack teams here are telling me that the total number of cases for 2026 should be down from current 1,111 to maybe 20 or 30 total for the full the year by December.

Because she is a disgraceful, despicable, and deplorable human being.

Not too wrong.

I like to give more detail on the man. He was not simply an actor.

Rant time.

I do NOT want or need a thinner, lighter laptop.

Make it four times as thick and three pounds heavier so it can hold four batteries instead of one.

I’m in love with this feature.

My review of the Columbus, Ohio location : β€œLike someone dropped a Stuckey’s into a Dave & Busters and serves the best beer the corner gas station has to offer.”

And I don’t give bad reviews.

(Stuckey’s was a cheap, interstate diner in the US that I had the misfortune of visiting in my youth.)

Sucks that the dickhead owners got rich and a lot of staff got screwed. Hard to feel bad for the equity crowd, but they let themselves get suckered. Know who’s running a place.

Pulling out the celebrity card is something you should almost never do.

Almost.

On an occasion like this, you might want to look for the guy with the key and say β€œDo you know who my father is?”

Yeah.

I have two in school right now studying natural sciences and wondering if they should continue to grad school or just change majors now.

I’m pushing them to continue and I’ll put retirement off a decade to help fund the lives they want to live.

I’m just a tad bit pissed.

It's OK.

It needs Dr. Cox. He was on episode 1, but not 2.

John C McGinley created one of the funniest and most emotionally complex characters in sitcom history.

"Where do you think you are?" Still hits hard.

Haven’t been drinking much at all lately. Forgot I had this one.

Lighter than most barrel-aged stouts. By that I mean it’s not as thick and treacally (sp?). Pretty good.

It's frustrating.

When I publish stuff at work, I follow a Source and Bias guideline document I created after being accused of bias. It uses only sources that fit within reliability/bias guidelines from several independent organizations.

It's hard to wade through the ad muck.
