  1. Regardless, it aligns with my philosophy of being relatively kind to those with whom you stand in line or have the opportunity to let merge in traffic.
  2. I was just quoting to a coworker today: "The chair is against the wall."
  3. What's the Mark Twain quote? "I did not attend his funeral, but I approved of it." Or Chris Rock: "I'm not saying I agree, but I understand." But I really don't endorse such a thing, and will not be quoted or inferred to have suggested otherwise.
  4. Around 1% of the population of this country consist of the clinically psychopathic. With the number of layoffs and general fuckery that threatens to tank democracy, the economy, increase unemployment, and drive up costs of basic needs, someone in this all too well armed country, whether they fall into that 1% grouping, is liable to decide to take a shot. I'm not saying I encourage or support such a thing. I don't. But I think the probability that it happens increases every day people of ill will continue to chisel away at the foundations of our democracy and society for their personal benefits.
  5. Bring out the Bear-Jew.
  6. I haven't thought about this song in a while, until this thread, this morning
  7. For a second, I thought about responding with a Mick Dundee photo captioned, "Job's taken." But although my usual stance is "funny is funny," this thread doesn't need that levity right now.
  8. Or, let's put it in terms of the things the republican party used to pretend to care about: limited government. Do you know how many transgender people are competitive swimmers in this country? I made a rough calculation at one point and, to no one's surprise, it is an infinitesimally small number; it is a small fraction of one percent. Why in the hell does the so-called party of limited government place this issue toward the tip of the spear, much less include it on its policy platform at all? We all know the real answer.
  9. FFT
  10. Thanks. Text group I'm in was discussing Pitzker this a.m. Now I know why. As for the rest, it all seems reasonable. As the Zen Master said, "We'll see."
  11. I'm on a cable news diet. Can you summarize? Because I need some positive news.
  12. And you said: Quick, young lady! Get those pants off!
  13. Sorry. Best we can do now is Hole in the Wall.
  14. Well, these two ding-dongs dragged a bag of "organic" fertilizer into the house (not sure where they found it) through the dog door and spread it out all over the kitchen to see what they could grow. That was a fun lunch break for dad.
  15. West Campus is cavernous. I miss the tree lines. I did discover that, somehow, Treehouse Apartments (my senior year apartment), managed not to burn down and still exists.
  16. About that, the limited traffic allowed down Speedway has been a growing concern, particularly with the UPS trucks, in particular, almost running over several people each day is one thing I've heard can be a bit terrifying.
  17. We also would have excepted Wank-Panzers or, my personal favorite, the Incel-Camino.
  18. He who hasn't said, "Fire rearward missile," or at least thought it whilst on the shitter is not a child of the 80s. No, excuse me while I steam us a runway.
  19. Mighty fine! Is that corn casserole? I didn't see that option when I was there.
  20. To be honest, I almost never use one, particularly since I've moved to smaller boards. But I keep one around because it's cool, valuable, and I paid $60 for it in the 90s. Sorry for the glare on this shot. This is the last iteration of my "big" board. I'm not running much compression. Just enough to give me some snap (left/bottom knob is sustain, right/top knob is output). The two drives are routed after the Ross. One is drive knob down. The other is drive knob probably around two. It's the Anastasio setup, even though I wasn't playing any Phish tunes through it.
