@bendreyfuss Now Ben even @MattWelch 's wiki said he attended UC Santa Barbara, this isn't quite fair

@charlescwcooke As a bassist I have always cited players like Chris Squire, Bootsy Collins, Jack Bruce et al as my biggest influences, but since playing a bunch of mid60s Britpop with a group, you are right, McCartney's lines are so inventive...the frustrated guitarist syndrome (which was me)

@jimgeraghty I will try that line with my wife! "this room is a mess" "what else can I really do? Burn the house down?"

[Nic Neufeld @SQLFunkateer]

@charlescwcooke It's also a bit weird, like say Iran had the warheads, getting the range to hit the mainland is a hard enough goal for them...why would they wait until they could hit the west coast once the east coast (or let's face it, tel aviv) was in range?

[Nic Neufeld @SQLFunkateer]

@Osinttechnical Well I'll give it to the #juststopoil kids, they've upped their game from throwing paint over art

@bendreyfuss literacy crisis is real Ben. Some of these people can't read and are living lives of quiet shame hiding in careers in ...journalism

@bendreyfuss law of diminishing marginal utility...at a certain point the ratio of additional benefit to practical costs tapers off

[Nic Neufeld @SQLFunkateer]

@bendreyfuss nice lol

[Nic Neufeld @SQLFunkateer]

@pescami I suppose the North Korean Institute of Advanced Zombification Studies is not far behind

[Nic Neufeld @SQLFunkateer]

@bendreyfuss I went to the local r*deo and those fellas, they know their way around a r*pe! I've never seen so much professional r*ping. One of them was crowned the official R*pemaster!

@iowahawkblog The Kansas City additions are nonsense...makes me suspect this is AI-derived, based on the online hype of boring white hipsters and insurance executives

[Nic Neufeld @SQLFunkateer]

@bendreyfuss How about a political biopic?

[Nic Neufeld @SQLFunkateer]

@JonahDispatch Planning a walk through Cumbria and North Yorkshire next year and have made sure I am landing at a spot with a good roast dinner each Sunday I'm there. Crisp Yorkshire pudding (with a bit of good gravy), what's not to love?

@iowahawkblog People don't appreciate just how many Up With People superbowl halftime shows there actually were.

@iowahawkblog "On the bass, Derek Smalls. He wrote this."

Lord Uxbridge (hit by a cannon ball at the battle of Waterloo): By God, I've lost my leg.
Duke of Wellington: By God, Sir, so you have.

Surely the greatest exchange in British military history.

@bendreyfuss The thing is, possessing ketamine (without a prescription for it, which lets face it, you can assume they did not have) is a federal felony offense anyway, right? Why would we layer an additional law on top of an existing unenforced one?

@bendreyfuss "I'll take The Benis Mightier Alec!" "That's Ben is Mightier Mr Connery"

@exjon "That's interesting, Clyde Frog. What do you think, Polly Prissypants?"

[Nic Neufeld @SQLFunkateer]

@JonahDispatch You don't need to go to AI. Walk it way back down from that. Start with resistors, capacitors, diodes, and transistors. Like "build a kit from Radio Shack" level electronics...
