What a shitshow streaming is. So glad I'm not funding it at all.

I am sure G! will find local water testing for you.

But, before you do that, check your municipal water web site. Mine publishes their testing results. Monthly, iirc.

Of course, this is only part of the puzzle. Your exact tap may have very different results.

It means "fuck you sideways" in ancient Sumerian.

Really.

French security:

FRENCH GUARD: Allo! Who is eet?

ARTHUR: It is King Arthur, and these are my Knights of the Round Table. Whose castle is this?

FRENCH GUARD: This is the castle of my master, Guy de Loimbard.

ARTHUR: Go and tell your master that we have been charged by God with a sacred quest. If he will give us food and shelter for the night, he can join us in our quest for the Holy Grail.

FRENCH GUARD: Well, I'll ask him, but I don't think he'll be very keen. Uh, he's already got one, you see.

ARTHUR: What?

GALAHAD: He says they've already got one!

ARTHUR: Are you sure he's got one?

FRENCH GUARD: Oh, yes. It's very nice-a. (I told him we already got one.)

FRENCH GUARDS: [chuckling]

ARTHUR: Well, u-- um, can we come up and have a look?

FRENCH GUARD: Of course not! You are English types-a!

ARTHUR: Well, what are you, then?

FRENCH GUARD: I'm French! Why do think I have this outrageous accent, you silly king-a?!

GALAHAD: What are you doing in England?

FRENCH GUARD: Mind your own business!

ARTHUR: If you will not show us the Grail, we shall take your castle by force!

FRENCH GUARD: You don't frighten us, English pig-dogs! Go and boil your bottom, sons of a silly person. I blow my nose at you, so-called Arthur King, you and all your silly English k-nnnnniggets. Thpppppt! Thppt! Thppt!

GALAHAD: What a strange person.

ARTHUR: Now look here, my good man--

FRENCH GUARD: I don't wanna talk to you no more, you empty headed animal food trough wiper! I fart in your general direction! Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!

GALAHAD: Is there someone else up there we could talk to?

FRENCH GUARD: No. Now, go away, or I shall taunt you a second time-a!

I really think it is amazing that now we can put exponentially more data than this in a pocket. And that most humans now carry pocket computers that can access astounding amounts of information.

The information age really is amazing.

Hand driers that use air increase "germs" on your skin. Paper towels reduce them.

If there are no paper towels I use toilet paper. Last time I used a public restroom I dried my hands on my pants.

Looks like it will be a BROWN Christmas here this year. Which is a grim fucking reminder that we've fucked the planet and it is only going to get worse.

So. There's that.

He didn't say it but he wants you to RENT software not OWN it. Make no mistake, this would be BAD for consumers.

I think we're fucked. Human nature, slow governments, apathy and disbelief mean we will not overcome climate change.

Best brace for the impacts in all practical ways. It will not go away and will only get worse.

So glad I got 2.5% on my 30 year fixed a couple of years ago when I refi'd.

I NEVER thought I would see a rate that low. I am still amazed at it.

I thought I recognized that name: Cult of the Dead Cow. They created Back Orifice which was a great parody of MS's Back Office.

(Learning how to do url links here...sorry if that doesn't work)

If the top actual PAY is about $75k/yr, then are they getting $100K/yr in benefits? WTF benefits could cost that much? Are they flying everyone to the Mayo Clinic for checkups every year? Gold toilets? wtf?
