those pinche guerras, según boy george, son estúpidas

Many churches and NGO’s weeping about things, but they never gave a GD before.

I hope mine doesn’t join the cry party, but it probably will.

I’ve never seen so many Democrats absolutely delighted about things.

germany, give it to me baby, say what?

When Biden basically told Scholz to suck it, the German chancellor should have pulled down his pants and mooned the POTUS. I would have enjoyed the political humor. 🌛

home geek squad

That time my computer stopped recognizing my printer and wouldn’t print.

I read dozens of webpages, went all through the operating system, and went to the horror of IRC to get tech help.

I even reinstalled the OS.

Then I got down under the desk on my hands and knees and found the printer cable unplugged and laying on the floor. 🤦

status quo world

If I want status-quo politics and “news,” i.e. direct from the White House to you, I can:

— turn on any corporate news feed

— surf my friends-list timeline on Facebook

It’s like… verbatim.

Deity help me if I accidentally post this to FB.

smoky-ass B-52’s, not the ones from Athens, GA

Two Global Policeman’s B-52’s landing during Eunice. Look at those smoky engines. I’ll think about that while I pluck out my little token recyclables from the trash each time.

I was on US-70 near Goldsboro years ago when one went over my car. It, too, laid down a nice smoke blanket and shook me any my car so hard that it blurred my vision.

When I was a child, even commercial passenger jets smoked that hard.

fiber internet installer nearby

A neighbor is getting NorthState (fiber Internet, TV, phone if you want it). The installer van is on the street. For a short time, this will make up for running that loud leaf blower for hours at a time. 👍

They had Spectrum. Spectrum’s wiring is so bad on this street that the jacket on their coax has been shedding in my yard for years. In certain parts of the street, it’s hanging so low that a person could reach up and grab it. If I get tired enough of cleaning up the shedding, I’ve thought about taking a hoe and yanking it down to the ground. It probably wouldn’t make a difference.

chocomil

This stuff is GOOD. Gotta get the dark. It reminds me of grade school when chocolate milk was sometimes an option on the school lunch. I was one of the few who liked school lunches unless they put something really stupid on there, like stewed prunes.

Maybe somebody will school me on how not all the ingredients are perfectly healthy, how almonds use a lot of water, or how the company might be evil. 😝

general wordpress thought

WordPress can be painful to use. The desktop and mobile apps can be, umm, less than straightforward.

The upside is that people like to write their asses off on WordPress, and I like that. Reading long posts through the night while at work, lol, is a pleasure.

The comments are much less of a squalling mess as compared to Twitter, for example.

Add all-night chatting on Telegram with people on the other side of the world who are up anyway or with nightowls in the same hemisphere.

ensalada de excelencia

Salad from Fresh Market. Olive Garden dressing is a Walmart item.

Walmart not only has Olive Garden dressing, they have Taco Bell salsa by the jar. The finer things. 🥂
