I usually spot this post in the early morning hours when I have two or three dogs sleeping on and around me. Possibly even sharing my pillow. Then I have a chuckle about how they’re doing. “Just fine,” I think. This time I’ve spotted it early and have plenty of room with only one doggo snoozing on the bed. The other two are on the floor on a plush dog-bed, but that will change soon enough.

The cats are okay too.

You deserve it! Good luck!

Startpage having a good track record is one of the main reasons why I’m happy to use them. Nothing sketchy so far and decent results. I am also a Mullvad customer for the same reasons.

I use Startpage and I get decent results. I never google anymore except maps. What is wrong with them?

I won’t go russian to judgement or putin the blame on anyone, but some people that love to sow chaos and take down the US do come to mind.

I’ve always appreciated and applied the Zoroastrian reverence of dogs:

Well, with general enshittification, Steam’s progress and W10 sunsetting maybe it will tick up the charts a bit more this year. I have laptops and home theater systems and have converted several in the last six months. Mostly Mint and EndeavorOS so far, but I’ll also load up Manjaro and Fedora on the last couple to see how I like them. Linux has come a long way.

I like it. Thanks for the post!

TIL. I had no idea. Is there a lot of this new style? I am not really in touch with his career even though I absolutely love his cartoons/humor.

As is the tiny hand.

Wanted to get a link for you:

Key findings:

Clayton Homes, owned by Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway, makes more mobile home loans than any competitor by a factor of six.

Warren Buffett’s Clayton Homes operates under at least 18 names, leading many buyers to think they’re shopping around.

Warren Buffett’s Clayton Homes lends at interest rates that can top 15 percent, and often adds thousands in fees to borrowers’ loans.

Clayton customers report deceptive and predatory deals including loan terms that changed abruptly, surprise fees and pressure to take on excessive payments. Former dealers said Clayton Homes encouraged them to steer buyers to finance with Clayton’s own high-interest lenders.

Yah, but only ~70% of us.

Or haven’t paid your monthly bribe.

How apropos.

Many years ago I saw a post on…probably Digg, that espoused 200 (very valid) reasons to hate Reagan. It was one of those light-bulb moments for me as at that time I had no idea how damaging his presidency was.

However, the new American analogue will be trump.

Peep Show is hilarious, but I would be loathe to call it “charming”. It’s mostly a “guy show” I think.

Maybe a little less scummy. Buying up trailer parks and jacking up rates on folks who are already living in poverty-light conditions is still pretty scummy.
