Rick and Morty
I’m not sure it is better than the one where the Beths hook up or Froopyland, but there are some really great moments.

Rick and Morty
This ep was mostly boring. It had some good points, but it feels like they’re just going through the motions. Filler.

Anime watchers out there?
Was recently surprised by Delicious in Dungeon. Sounds stupid, but it works because they take it seriously but not too serious.

Rick and Morty
They tried, but it was just a sloppy, tired mess.

The Last of Us coming to HBO
Two thoughts. One, I think the show runners were fucking with us with the acoustic guitar. Like, let’s make a crazy set that would not have survived and start an even more over-the-top musical number…and then just kidding. Two, flat, potato face with dead eyes works well at the end.

Conclave 2025: All of the Smoke, None of the Brisket
Same. I held my breath when they said, “Robertum”. I like his books and social media, but, TBH, I’m not sure about his administrative skills. My only memory from his time at CDW was him telling my bishop to issue something under his own imprimatur because of the intentional logjam in his dicastery.

The $20,000 American-made electric pickup with no paint, no stereo, and no touchscreen
If it is designed with a space for a head unit and easily accesible wiring conduits for speakers and dash cams, I could see it for people like me, those of us who work from home and just need a second car for the odd commute.

Employment Attorney
In a proper RIF? No protections. Fired without cause as a probationary employee as part of an illegal RIF? Can pursue an OCI or MSPB appeal or whatever applies to his position. If the appeal leads to reinstatement, he would want to try to time it after the agency does its RIFs. Probationary employees are only above rehired annuitants and term employees when it comes to seniority. However, even that may not matter. GSA, for example, RIF’d entire departments without regard for the normal order of things.

The ABIA Thread of Gross Incompetence
I take Colgate powdered toothpaste to avoid problems. (It’s imported from India and has “extra Rakshak”.) The metal container got screened at DFW once because it somewhat resembles a flask.

Going Win 10/11 to Linux
I haven’t used Linux on a daily basis in almost 20 years and I haven’t used it regularly in 10+. It was more or less good enough for everything but gaming back then, if you were tech-savvy. Are you a frequent Windows terminal user? An advanced DOS user? Then using Linux has been easy for years. Even if that’s not the case, if your hardware is supported, which it usually is, then it’s been pretty easy for years. Due to the age of hardware or other issues, sometimes Linux performs better than Windows with certain driver issues. You can search online to figure that out for your computer. As long as online Google office or Office 365 works for you, there isn’t much reason to use Windows.

Русский корабль - иди нахуй
You sure? The Russkies would love him nuking Kursk. That’s in the grandest scorched-earth Russian tradition.

Strongest pilot ever
Firefly is probably the best for Scifi.

The USS Defiant is so much more badass than the Millenium Falcon
There is another.

Madame Web- Sony's next Spiderman adjacent film
Watched the movie on a plane this week. It’s a comic book origin story. It’s not the best of the genre. It has the normal sterility and blatantly obvious foreshadowing of every major international market release of the last 15-20 years. It was a good way to kill some time on a flight. Wouldn’t watch again except as background noise.

Excel help
You don’t have to count columns like you do with vlookup. It’s similar to sumif in how it is set up.

Paramount+ on the chopping block
I have a subscription to Paramount+ due to my 247sports.com subscription. I never understood how they made money just giving away subscriptions year-after-year.

Each Generation’s High School Movie
1979 Xennial. A movie that hasn’t been named yet: Go It’s up there with Clueless, Can’t Hardly Wait, and American Pie.

Rick and Morty
It was okay even enjoyable. Lowered expectations will do wonders.

Shooting at UNLV
My flight out of LAS was on time, but a colleague was delayed leaving because the pilots were stuck in the traffic. We barely missed the road closures. Our Uber had a pissed off cop yelling at us, trying to shut down traffic on the way to the airport.
