@JortsTheCat A kind of guy who feels bad about GPS because it makes it hard to collect maps.

A kind of guy who thinks shades of beige are colorful

@TheRickWilson I mean what'd Trotsky do to deserve being compared to Bannon?

[Tom R @beardedunixguy]

@choochoobear Oh that's too bad.

I worked for them as a contractor during the Bank Boston merge, and it was a trip. Didn't much like the Bank Boston side

I can't recall who I banked with then, just that Citizens bought them and fired the good people

Don't like big banks as a customer really

@peachmilfshake Your dad is awesome.

@kenzietuff Watching a B2 take off and then come back for low pass through fog is my favorite airplane memory

My favorite plane is the many variations of the C-130. It does everything.

@choochoobear Goddamn, you beautiful bastard.

That's the best laugh I've had in months.

Thank you!

@PhysicsHawk I manage half of "do you think they'll make it?", "It'd take a miracle" about once a week.

@b0rk I'm the old guy with 200 open tabs.

@QuinnyPig I've not had an employer who wanted me to be on call be unwilling to pay my phone bill

@CTOAdvisor Christ, I saw someone's old repurposed laptop that had financial info on it from a community org they were part of

I found a reason to wipe and reimage it, but sadly the data alone wasn't enough to justify that

[Tom R @beardedunixguy]

@DJGARYNH Indeed. We had word processors. I'm still amazed at how corel managed to squander that market share

@scalzi I've got an ancestor who was vile enough that the rest of my family wouldn't pay for a sharp axe.

We play it up as stubbornness, but it took 11 strokes to behead the guy.

@deathbybadger I was not prepared for beautiful truths at breakfast.

[Tom R @beardedunixguy]

@SNeurotypicals I brush my teeth when I shower. To the point that it's deeply uncomfortable to brush them without taking a shower

I feel uncomfortable putting on dress shirts if I didn't just get out of the shower

Wearing t shirts to work is hell on my teeth

[Tom R @beardedunixguy]

@danidonovan I don't clean, unless I trash the kitchen

Age old compromise

I do almost all the cooking

For fast, easy, and little mess, I make fancy sandwiches, and toast them in the broiler

Slice a tomato, your favorite deli meat and cheese, and real lettuce. Open faced on a deli roll

[Tom R @beardedunixguy]

@ZachWeiner My grandmother believed that the world kept getting better and would keep doing so

Odd, really. She was often a deeply unpleasant person

But she was always nice to my wife, and she fostered my love classical music

She made it to 102
