Reclining your seat is an act of pure evil unless you are sitting in front of a tiny person. Even then it might be considered moderately evil.

It doesn’t matter if he was guilty or innocent. State-sanctioned murder is ALWAYS wrong.

Today is my wife’s birthday, when she opened her gift it was a reMarkable Pro. So far we’re both impressed.

Fully agreed very heavy.

Love love love these books.

Any early Alistair MacLean…

Guns of Navaronne

Where Eagles Dare

When Eight Bells Toll

Night Without End

Puppet on a String

Louis Lamour’s westerns are complete popcorn and fun to read

C. S. Forester’s Horatio Hornblower books

As a Sonos family we feel the pain of this app.

As a software developer I feel the pain of trying to pay off tech debt.

Fixing…

Fucking abhorrent behavior from the State.

Me…

Two email threads on the same subject with the same subject line, slightly different recipient lists.

It was a really deep thread and at one point I had emailed the internal version with “the customer is not good at math.” And included the correct math.

Some time later we had resolved the issue and I replied to the customer, but somehow ended up on the wrong thread. Fortunately it was so deep that I don’t think they ever saw it. But one of our VPs did. We had an entertaining conversation.

To this day I hate threads that go on for ages and I hate it when people reuse threads.

I’m impressed you were able to convert the Oreos! 😉

6’6" (247.5 Oreo Cookies for those of you who use that measurement). My wife is 5’1" tall.

When I was growing up my mom would always say “the tall girls are going to love you!” Every tall girl I ever asked out shot me down in flames.

Wait what? Of course the outcome of the sale wrapped back to their hands. They wouldn’t have a job if there were no sale.

Everywhere I went, there they were calling through the fields…

“Gavin!”

Wandering the streets…

“Gavin? Gav?”

I couldn’t even finish a game of dominoes without it being interrupted…

“GAVIN!”

Finally one fateful day, stopping me and asking, “have you seen Gavin? Do you know where he is?”

Did the workers who made the physical device but profit from doing so?

Did the designers who designed the phone also not profit from doing so?

Neither of those groups was slave labor.

I’m a fan of capitalism, but not the kind of capitalism that decrees something is too big to fail and must be bailed out.

That would have been a giveaway.

I’ll take that as a compliment! I’ve had the same job since December 2001. My first marriage lasted over 20 years. My second is at 12 already. Three sons, one daughter, a wife who’s a career soldier, means we move a lot.
