He’s responding to his talks with Trump. He knows US support is going to fade fast under the new guy. He’s trying to save his country.

I’m 60 now and am literally a Boomer; fast food has definitely gotten worse. Especially in the last 10 years or so. The foods and processes have been tweaked and tuned to the point that the value of the food hovers just barely above the price and not a tick more.

Health concerns also play a role. McDonald’s fries are a good example. When I was young they were cooked in beef tallow and they were so good they would roll your eyes back in your head in in ecstacy (not kidding). They switched to vegetable oil due to health concerns over saturated fats and they’ve just never been the same.

I’ll pour one out for the Yaris.

Try kagi. It’s paid at $5/mo., but you get 300 searches to try it out.

It’s useful for my firmware development, but it’s a tool like any other. Pros and cons.

One success at thwarting fraud doesn’t mean that all attempts are thwarted though, it only proves that fraud is happening. That’s the problem.

I should have attributed, sorry.

Randall Jarrell, published in 1945.

Bomber ball turret gunners and tail gunners had the shortest life expectancy of any combat occupation in the war, as these were the first targets of incoming fighters. I found one site that said tail gunners’ combat life expectancy was four missions.

Ball turrets couldn’t reload in flight. The ball was too small for parachutes, and the mechanisms jammed or froze often. Typically they put small, young, single guys in them.

Maybe try a poem.

The Death of the Ball Turret Gunner

From my mother’s sleep I fell into the State,

And I hunched in its belly till my wet fur froze.

Six miles from earth, loosed from its dream of life,

I woke to black flak and the nightmare fighters.

When I died they washed me out of the turret with a hose.

Randall Jarrell, 1945

I agree that he was pretty hostile but it’s Fox News. To be expected.

But she’s the sitting Vice President. “Yes, madam Vice President.” or at least “Yes, ma’am./madam.” is the appropriate way to reference her though.

What if I told you: No Shit

Five years ago the audience would have fawned all over this kind of crap.

It’s good to see people are wise to his stock pumping strategy now.

ls that the kind of man you need? Loquacious type?

It’s intentional.

Obviously, Google makes money showing ads during search. But they have finally bit the bullet and starting tarpitting users in search in order to show more ads.

A quick, useful, and accurate search means that you’re on their site for the least amount of time, perhaps mere seconds. That’s not what’s best for revenue growth.

PS: Go try Kagi and be reminded what good clean search results look like. I use it because my time has value. It’s very good.

And a crematorium.

Not just the best press conference of 2020, but one of the most hilarious political fuck-ups of my lifetime. And I’m a Boomer.

How is throwing your vote into a hole going to help exactly?

I’m 60. I would argue that 20 years is not a long time. Keep pushing.

Change won’t come overnight (at least without revolution). Like evolution, it requires constant pressure on the system. Changes that are too radical kill the organism.

A long as people think we can jump from Geoge H.W. Bush to Bernie Sanders in one election it’s going to continue to fail.

Votw Harris this time. Vote for the person slightly more liberal than her next time, etc. It’s a process.

Interesting tidbit: He filmed his audition tape for House from his hotel room during the shooting of Flight of the Phoenix.

You can find it on YouTube.

Maybe not directly…

Guess I’m out of the loop. Who’s Elmo?
