Anything invented before you were eighteen was there all along. Anything invented before you’re thirty is exciting and will change the world forever. Anything invented after that is an abomination and should be banned. -- Mark Twain

Love that dad has a Caffeine coffee cup.

When I make Scampi, I use the shells to make a shrimp stock to cook the shrimp and butter. Broiling jumbo shrimp with Bay's Seasoning in the shell means I take the shell off before eating it.

Which reminds me of the new hire who was touring our newly installed data center.

"Wow. What great racks!" she said on entering the data center.

When that bicycle rider flipped off Trump's motorcade during his first Badministration, the social media blowback got her fired from her job. She ran for Congress and won.

I hope this woman has a similar outcome.

Side query: I wonder if anyone in Child Protective Services is investigating Melon Husk's home environment for his kids. He's an resident alien who lied on his immigration paperwork and could be subject to deportation.

If that stuff is anything like Crystal Lite's Fruit Punch, it stains EVERYTHING. Bleach didn't get it out. But Oxyclean Ultra worked. You know. Just incase you get some on a t-shirt.

Maybe the demand can't be made public but it should be interesting to see what Tim Cook's next move will be. Will he conference call the Prime Minister and the head of the Home Orafice and telling them to back off? It's not quite the same thing to have a company like Signal leave the UK market vs. Cook telling the PM to suck his balls, then geofencing the Mac Store and iCloud from UK IP addresses. Given what Apple does in China to keep selling there, I wonder what they'll end up doing. Did they do that in Russia?

Never talk to management over the phone. Get it in writing either as a text or email.

I read a post on Mastodon from someone in Ontario Canada that was proposing shutting off all export of oil and electricity to the US. The thing that made me doubt this was they were also calling for impeaching 45 (again!). That would leave Vance which scares me even more.

My father's career advise to my brother and me was "Make lots of money so I can come live with you when I get old."

My brother didn't like that advise so he did a bunch of research and asked a bunch of people about their careers. He got a masters in an Engineering field but hated working in that field. So he got another masters. He doesn't use it for his career.

I studied Chemistry and left grad school to do software development with no degree in it (it was the 80s). I never used my degree either.

Confronting my dad about his bad career advise would have just gotten his Standard Response to Criticism™--But I'm lovable.

And no he never lived with either of us. But then he never go old.

When some random #MAGAidiot complains that one of Trump's new policies is hurting them, instead of blaming Trump, just remind the idiot "Isn't that what you voted for?"

Also, when some #MAGAidiot complains that Trump's new policies are impacting them, don't blame Trump. Ask the idiot "Isn't this is what you voted for?"
