…all that and you don’t even mention that he’s been an open russian asset for eight years?..

…the blunt truth is that he’s in too deep, as are most of the remaining republican party, and the only way to keep their heads at this point is to double-down on seizing the apparatus of state to dismiss their criminal culpability…

…i don’t think he wants anything other than to keep uncle vlad at bay…

…ah, i may be conflating contextal menus with opening new tabs, since that’s the primary UI mode i use to do so: regardless, any kind of shenanigans which aim to disable application-level UI get under my skin…

…and now you’ve hit upon my other peeve: (mostly shopping) sites coded to disable browsing links in a new tab…

…are you presuming her gender?..it’s a woman’s right to grow a beard if she chooses…

…just ripples in the carbon cycle, momentary standing waves until we lose coherence…

…when i was in second grade i wrote a book report on chocolate fever, in which the climax involved the protagonist taking vanilla pills, which were so obviously the opposite of chocolate to my eight-year-old perspective, but which no adults with whom i discussed the book found at all obvious…

…i don’t doubt it: when i left the bay area for cheaper lands twenty years ago, 650sf apartments were going for $1600 and i’m sure prices have only inflated since…my data points are all the cheap minima on my housing curve over the past three four decades…

edit: …f*ck, i forgot how old i am; it happens on the north end of the century mark…

…most low-earth-orbit photos are shot with a wide-angle lens, which exaggerates the curvature of the earth and makes local features appear disproportionately large relative to the horizon…

…my wife’s a mad scientist: well, she’s a senior scientist and she’s mad pretty often…

…well there’s always rice-and-beans but with the way finance, insurance, and real estate are going these days you’ll need rice-and-beans just to survive, not to save up…

…in `98 i was paying $500 to rent a 650sf one-bedroom apartment at $30k salary; in 2008 i was paying $750 to rent a 650sf one-bedroom apartment at $45k salary; in 2018 i was paying $1250 mortgage on a 1500sf house at $85k salary: today i pay that same $1250 mortage at $105k salary and thank god i managed to save that down payment within twenty years, before the real estate speculators completely overran my local market…

…not sure what that illustrates other than 2024 is brutally expensive relative to pay: we bought three nectarines last night for six dollars at the local discount grocer, which would have cost less than a dollar thirty years ago…

…sounds remarkably similar to my experience with the original logitech cyberman; thankfully babbage’s had a generous return policy and lee hutchinson didn’t bat an eye…

…you have a birthmark in the shape of legible english characters, not just one, but a full sequence which spell a word?..

…finesteride works, not a placebo…

…since 2001…

…i think that’s what’s installed in the little breakfast counter at drury inn…

…and the great thing is by classifying your employees as EXEMPT, you can get away with it, too!..

…i always make a point to go barefoot when i walk my dog + cat around the block to our mailbox; i’ve blistered my feet a couple of times but it’s worth it to guide them away from too-hot pavement…
