Game designer, purveyor of inexpensive silliness. Husband of an astronomer. Ne'er-do-well. ILL tech: if you don't know what that is, you don't have clearance.
Early/Late Pi Day pic: started it Saturday, finished it Sunday, still have one big slice left. As far as I'm concerned, cheesecake is pie: uses fruit and has no flour. Wish I had a smaller pan to make it a bit taller.
@scalzi What I don't get are people who invert 1 and 5 as to their value. They'll give 5 stars and horrible reviews, 1 star and great reviews. Different society, different values?
Humans are weird.
@craigmod I do the same in my photography directory. I acquired two cameras in the last four months: a Canon 1DS Mark 2 and a Mamiya RB67 Pro SD. Looking forward to having some fun! Amazing how inexpensive RB67 lenses are!
@GeorgeTakei I read an article about a couple who rented an RV to her caravan, not knowing who she was, and it was largely trashed and will require thousands of dollars of repairs before it will be usable again.
I do so hope that this is true and that there's no wiggle room for corps such as GE etc. I am so tired of big companies getting away with paying no taxes with their shell games.
Itโs 2023. That means the largest, most profitable corporations will have to start paying a 15% minimum tax.
The days of the wealthiest companies not paying taxes are over.
Marjorie Taylor Greene: "You know why I'm upset? Because Matt Gaetz, Lauren Boebert, and Scott Perry...walked in Kevin McCarthy's office last night and made their own personal demands....and guess what? The chairman of the Freedom Caucus negotiated nothing for me."
My mom passed away last year, and I'm pretty sure she made these. My dad passed in October, and we're clearing the house out. I just gained possession of two boxes of mom's recipes, it'll be interesting to see if this is in them.
For the 1st time in history a black woman is now in charge of the House until they elect a Speaker.
Cheryl Johnson, Clerk of the House of Representatives, now has the power to โpreserve order and decorum and decide all questions of order.โ
When I was a sysadmin at a major police dept, I wrote fake passwords and taped them to the bottom of my keyboard. I was hoping someone would find them and call me out on having passwords written down, but no one ever did.
You mean to tell me that the party who didnโt have a plan for healthcare, didnโt have a plan for infrastructure, didnโt have a plan for Covid, didnโt have a plan for inflation, didnโt have a plan for immigration, donโt actually have a plan to efficiently vote for a speaker?
I've been saying this for actual decades, being an IT pro. With increases in software sophistication and automation, WTF ARE WE WORKING MORE HOURS INSTEAD OF FEWER? It is pure exploitation.
@DewlineO BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Yeah, Elon. Let's guarantee gridlock and ridiculous "investigations" and attempts to impeach the President on spurious charges. Shared power does not curb excesses, cooperation in the best interests of the country brings out the best in people. Except now.
@nut_history When Jerry Collangelo built the AZ Diamondbacks stadium, he built the locker rooms to NBA dimensions because of the Phx Suns. Apparently when the players walked in and saw the lockers, they were "WHAAA BIIIIG?!" I heard they were rebuilt smaller later.
