I'm sure we're all shocked. Well, those of us who have been in a coma for the last thirty years, anyway.

Ah, so you haven't been a sysadmin at all through the last ten years of watching fucking security updates get stuffed in a subscription. Unless you think hardware subscriptions are something new? Cause that's also old hat to anyone who runs anything professionally. We know. This is just rent a center for gamers. The only way to win is not to play. But in this case, it's SUPER easy not to play.

I might know that guy. He curled up on the couch all sweet-like and then reprogrammed my universal remote.

Agreed, but I like how frequently they find a way to communicate despite it.

Very minor typo in the Useful Plex Add-ons guide, which is excellent so far:

Introduciton

I'm about two thirds of the way through Since We Fell by Dennis Lehane. And I finished The Stupidest Angel by Christopher Moore today.

I don't think Lehane ever really misses. His plots aren't usually all that dense but the characters are deep and compelling. And the writing is way better than it seems like it should be. Every once in a while you I read a line and think, "Where did that come from, and how did it get here?" He's a really talented writer.

Moore is not that. But he's fun and entertaining. This book was not his best effort. But it was fine. If you like Moore, you'll like this one we'll enough.

No, mark it as spam. There are probably 800 addresses in the BCC if that lame phishing attempt. I see hundreds of these in quarantine for the email server I run. They're all the same. No one did anything except find your email address, maybe, and send you this garbage.

If an article is a list, it's garbage. If the headline of the listicle starts with a number, it should be banned from the Internet.

Jeep key fobs are a war crime in pockets. If you're lazy, get a suspension clip. It's a little clip that hooks onto the fob and the lip of your pocket. It's better than having that massive Rick sitting in the bottom of your pocket.

If you're motivated, Google jeep key fob mods. There are lots of easy and difficult ways to improve on what can only be described as asshole design.

I genuinely thought he was unemployable in the NHL. Good for him. And as always, fuck Philly, and fuck all the legions of dumbass fans who thought what they did to Boucher's 1-3-1 was legitimate. All it showed was that they were too slow and too stupid to play the game.

Man, that shit gets me heated still. I should not still be pissed about morons thinking stupid things.

The point is your gained wisdom through experience. That's what the old people always tried to tell us.

Are you going to solve any of those problems? No. Are you going to be able to join some organization or movement that solves them? Probably no. Will you be able to affect any change that the world will take notice of? Probably not.

But that doesn't mean you shouldn't be a part of it. Not everything that has value makes meaningful changes on the world. There was a French artist, Marcel Duchamps, who once exhibited a urinal. This was clearly not an attempt to move art in any direction, or change public perception, he was kinda just being an asshole. But it had that effect anyway. People still get pissy about it, in the form of, "Is it art?" conversations. Is it? Doesn't matter. It was a low effort one-off idea that has lasted for decades.

Life isn't actually a race to see how much you can achieve. And if it was that, then it wouldn't be measured by money. It wouldn't be measured by "legacy," the way we use that word for rich people and sports stars. If it really was a contest, then it would be based on how much good you can manage in the face of constant depressive onslaught.

The world has never seemed like it has a point to most people. But they try their best, and they make meaningful impact on the lives of others, often without intention or even knowledge of having done so .

One of my most influential people has no idea that he did anything. He's around somewhere, although I haven't seen him for 20 years. All he did was treat me like a person when I was a dumb teenager (not to say all teenagers are dumb, but I was). It really wasn't much. But I hadn't been treated that way before, so to me it's influential because it was something he did that he didn't have to do.

That guy is not going to be lying on his deathbed thinking, "At least I was a good influence on scared of planes." For all I know, he doesn't remember me. Doesn't matter. He spread some good into the world. That's your job. That's your point.

Just be a better you tomorrow than you are today, as many days as you can manage. Know that no one does that every day. And you'll live a meaningful life that maybe has influence. Your legacy is you.

The information I would expect in this post is glossed over here:

Investors can choose to keep company stock in their own name using the Direct Registration System - which provides multiple benefits and safeties not available with other methods of holding.

Provide some of that info, please. Otherwise this is just an ad.
