2016 was great. Unpopular opinion, but true.

See, The Hangover is hard to categorize like that, because it’s the same movie every time.

I also dont care for any of the John Wick movies. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Are you trolling? I cant tell, i guess.

Here I was thinking the OG is where it’s at. TIL

The bad produce is important. When they fire all the human pickers and replace them with AI robots, you will take the produce that youre given and you’ll be happy about it.

Ive had the same Timex for about 20 years now. Had to replace the strap a couple times and the battery, but the time keeping works like a charm and keeps perfect time. Mine is the leather strap with a white face and also shows day of the week and date. Not bad for a watch that cost me $20 a lifetime ago.

I do use a smart watch when im exercising though.

I can FLY on an eReader. I bump the font up a bunch and just go, baby. Love reading ebooks (i read them on an ipad mini). I was also Mr. Physical Books Forever. Boy was I wrong about that.

He is moving the forest service HQ out of washington DC and shutting down research. Ive not heard that he’s closing regional offices.

Ive always felt like people think of the National Forests as National Parks or preserves, but theyre not. National Forests are mixed use allowing for recreation and industry.

Moving the HQ to the west makes sense to me since that’s where a bulk of the forestland is. And we know that stupid people dont like smart people and their ideas, so research was bound to get torpedoed by Trump.

Thanks for the heads up about the edit.

Certainly 100% anonymity isnt possible, even with a VPN. Best practice is always dont do anything online that you wouldnt want attached to your real identity/life.

I’m a proponent of privacy for the sake of privacy and as a right. Anonymity is the only way to ensure privacy. Seeking privacy does not inherently imply nefarious intent (not that you explicitly said it does). Sounds like Kagi wouldn’t be a good choice for me. And that’s OK. Thanks for answering my Q!

Honest question: if you’re paying for Kagi, how is that different than using a credit card for verification with Google? It would seem to me that you’re willingly connecting your identity in either case. Maybe i’m wrong.

Im a fan of Blazing Saddles… It’s got a lot of racism throughout and the Boomers loved it. But I cant stand The Big Bang Theory or Monk, and every Boomer i know loves those shows. Steve Martin is a comedic genius – he’s a Boomer and popular with the Boomers. I liked Dave Chapelle and that shit was racist AF. So I dunno where I stand anymore.

Wow. Thanks for the detailed write up and recommendation. I was graduated from high school when the show was first airing, but I just never took the time to watch it because i wasnt a car guy. Then i was aware that shenanigans were happening, but in my mind it was still just a car show. But now 20 years later, people are still talking about it. If I can find it, maybe i’ll give it a watch starting where you suggested.

Better than mine… Der MuskWagen.

Ive never watched an episode of Top Gear… Is it worth it and does it hold up?

Um…DVanD was a heavy smoker and is a recovered alcoholic.

“In 1972, the beloved actor checked into a hospital to address his alcoholism. While on his path to sobriety, he also combatted his smoking habits, but admitted in 2023 that trying to quit smoking was ‘twice as hard.’”

“Public transportation is for losers.”

I bet there’s no smoking allowed in that bunker.

What could go wrong?
