"Let's see... it's either Jews or an unmarried older woman who owns her own home, and I see here that your village already burned the local witch fortnight last, so there's really only one diagnosis to make..."

You ever find yourself acting out a fucked up allegorical image in real life as part of your day job?

What OS are you using? I was trying to use my Anbernic with wireless controllers, but the default OS keeps forgetting the mapping on the controllers every time I switch to a different game and it was impractical to have to keep remapping them over and over.

Mmmm! That is a tasty burger!

Proverbs 26:18-19

Like a madman who throws firebrands, arrows, and death,

Is the man who deceives his neighbor, And says, “I was only joking!”

I also would like the answer to this question.

The Six Million Dollar Man first aired in March, 1973.

The online inflation calculator says that's equivalent to $43,732,794.46 in December, 2024 dollars.

Now the question becomes does $1 human = $7 dog, or is it $1 dog = $7 human?

There are people who, disturbed by "big government" today and its tendency to curb the advantages they might gain if their competitiveness were allowed free flow, demand "less govern- ment." Alas, there is no such thing as less government, merely changes in government. If the libertarians had their way, the distant bureaucracy would vanish and the local bully would be in charge. Personally, I prefer the distant bureaucracy, which may not find me, over the local bully, who certainly will. And all historical precedent shows a change to localism to be for the worse.

Oh my God, what if they cashed them all at once and emptied out America's checking account.

My theory, at least for purposes of The Terminator, is that after Judgment Day, there were some human holdouts in Austria who sent troops to help fight Skynet, so that's why an Austrian accent would be assigned to an infiltration unit.

I have nothing to say about Terminator 3. That was like three or four timeline modifications later. There's bound to be some reality degradation.

I was hanging out with this woman and we made some boffer swords. Now, these are soft... ish. They're made from half-inch PVC with foam pool noodle on top and the whole thing wrapped in duct tape. You can take a direct hit from one of these without it seriously injuring you, but it's not exactly pleasant. She had little to no experience with larping, but we took them out on the driveway and went at it a bit. I accidentally, and I really want to emphasize that, accidentally hit her full in the face with this foam bat. I apologized and we went again... and then I full-on hit her in the face again. And I apologized, and she smiled, and we continued to have a good time sword fighting.

So anyway, we got married and our daughter is almost five now.

There's only one everything!
