And here I am running an old Dell Poweredge that probably consumes 10 watts when it’s powered off.

I would not buy them here or there. I would not buy them anywhere. I do not like appliances with ads. I do not like them Sam-I-Am.

If you’re leading an organization that somehow managed to “overhire” 30k employees, then the first person to hit the bricks should be you because you really suck at your job.

Some small town rednecks think larger cities are some sort of crime ridden hell hole where you have a 78.3% chance of being murdered on any given day.

I think they’re really just afraid of traffic and people who aren’t white.

After being cut off by some jackass while driving: 👍

I remember in highschool that some of the other boys seemed to think AXE body spray was an adequate substitute for showering regularly.

It’s not. It just makes you smell like AXE and BO.

I went to a Willie Nelson concert where he just ignored the countdown timer on stage and kept right on playing for at least another 30 minutes. That was a good concert.

It’s pretty hard to find a kid that doesn’t have Snapchat anymore. Basically being trained to hand over all their personal info to random strangers as soon as they’re able to hold a cell phone.

And of course they hide the read messages for the end user to provide the illusion that it’s “deleted” which I have to admit is brilliant. Extremely unethical but brilliant.

Speed running the collapse of an empire.

Currently working on a networking problem. I have multiple Proton VPN connections on my Mikrotik router. Main reason being for fail over in case one endpoint reaches capacity, goes unresponsive, etc.

It’s a bit tricky since Proton issues the same peer and gateway IP for each connection. Haven’t quite got it working the way I want it to yet.

We don’t need to live in space. Space is not naturally habitable by humans. We just need to stop fucking up the one planet that is.

Well unfortunately the President of the United States is bad at business and the Republicans are …Republicans. The only thing that matters to either are rich people.

I remember a group of whack jobs getting upset with Dolly Parton for promoting COVID vaccines when they first became available.

Anyone who has a problem with Dolly Parton can go fuck themselves with a cactus.

I wonder if this is part of the reason why Cox stopped listing their small business plans and prices online.

And then there’s the “promotional discount” that expires after a year or two, requiring you to call back in and threaten to cancel your service before they’ll give you back the same price you were already paying. It helps if you actually have other ISP options.

I also think you should not be allowed to abandon your copper infrastructure without offering a replacement. AT&T refuses to offer new DSL service even if they have an old POTS line connected to your house because “we don’t do DSL anymore” but I guarantee they would have a problem with it if I ripped their pedistal out of my front yard.

How dare you! President Trump has ended over seven thousand wars since the beginning of his second term. He also single handedly eliminated human trafficking, poverty, all illnesses, and climate change (which is still a liberal hoax). If that were not enough, our dear leader sacrificed himself to defeat Thanos which the low energy avengers were too weak to do. He then raised himself from the dead, ascending like a Phoenix from the ashes and returning to grace us with his wonderful benevolence for the rest of our days.

Praise be.

There’s the tarrifs and theres the bizarre anti-renewable energy sentiment harbored by the current administration.

Personally, I think that’s just coming from power utilities pushing the idea that, “it’s cool if WE build a solar array but it’s not cool if YOU do it.”

Instead of AOL we had some small time ISP that no one has ever heard of because my dad hated paying for internet access.

To me, it’s not necessarily people climbing it that’s the issue. It’s that some people have so little respect for everyone and everything that they’re perfectly content to use the world as their own personal trash can.

I shit you not, I recently chewed some lady out on the hiking trail 2 miles from my house because she chucked the plastic bowl and spoon from her lunch off into the woods, in front of God and everybody like it’s just no big deal. Well it’s a big fucking deal to me.

And if a person can’t manage to go on a hike or scale a mountain without leaving their garbage behind like a slob, then they should stay home.

I don’t do indoor cats because of allergies. I used to have a cat that someone dumped on the road by my house. I installed a cat door in the basement so she could come and go from there as she wanted.

That little shit figured out where the bedroom was and would climb the HVAC duct to get up right up underneath my bed and start meowing loudly at about 6 AM every day as if to say, “Get up you fat bastard. I’m hungry. Time for sleep is over. Time for feeding me is now!”

My Toddler: “Dammit”

His Mom: 🤨

Me: “It was not me. I haven’t smashed any of my fingers lately.”
