@VanWatervliet @JoelFeldmanPhD As a kid, Dad was an enlisted Air Force guy. We always thought we were "rich". I mean, we went back home to West Va. every chance we got, and we were far better off than family that didn't get out.

@JoelFeldmanPhD As an Air Force "brat" it was quite fun. Until those movers stole the down Army sleeping bag I pilfered from the Army. Bastards...

@Donkeyhead6 @FlacoCafe @h_e_p_56 The biopsy told us how large it was and where it was, and the sequencing told us what type. I felt better about going ahead with the surgery knowing that it was cancerous and a potentially fast-spreading type.

@mollison_joe @h_e_p_56 You chose well. I did not. :)

[Ghost in the Machine @ExpendableDroid]

@Donkeyhead6 @FlacoCafe @h_e_p_56 In my case the samples were sent to a lab. I also had them DNA sequenced. The results led to the surgery soon after.

@GetMyGuitars Playing. Just play something. Oh, and annoying the neighbors by playing something loudly. Sometimes in tune.

@FlacoCafe @h_e_p_56 For a good 24-36 hours, it felt like a little leprechaun was punching my nads every few seconds.

@BudLightSadness If your fired do they like give you a kayak and a paddle?

@h_e_p_56 The good news is all that was 10 years ago, and I'm still here.

@usawtfm @hotscots_app Dad moved us into the Langley Bethel Manor housing back in the day. It was all new! Winter comes and the power went out for days. With snow and ice on the ground the families were "allowed" to go to the base mess hall. That part of Bethel was eventually torn down and rebuilt.

@johnkonrad Nothing to see until there is.

@mercoglianos @themaritimenet Um, I've run cable into concrete block houses. Takes a bit, and the bits are expensive, but it's doable.

[Ghost in the Machine @ExpendableDroid]

@Lordmiles I'd use a sturdy inflatable "house" anchored with water-filled bladders both below and over the rock. Use rock spikes too. I think that would be easier to put in place and if you get knocked off, you can cut the bladders free and float away.

@johnkonrad @Saronic Warboats should have Vikings and a buxom bow.

Be me. Have an enterprise license for Visual Studio. It comes with some time on Azure. Try to use it from home and get shutdown by security policy. Why??? Would they prefer I do "evil experiments" on the work network with their devices??

[Ghost in the Machine @ExpendableDroid]

@wbridgefa Don't cross the streams! Give an organization access to your personal device, and you risk "Bob" in security wiping your device one day because he ran a spiffy script that an AI gave him. Never mind that all your data belongs to "them".

@DocStrangelove2 My son rested a rifle on top of my range bag. It shredded it from the muzzle blast alone.

@davegreenidge57 First quarter bills for tokens have arrived???

@danwaterfield the locals will be taking dumps in the air intakes.
