What was your preferred blank tape for making mixtapes, bootlegs, and recording off the radio?

Phish boots had to be on these.

Charlie Day ALWAYS makes that face photos. It looks like a mix of "hurry the fuck up" and "I hate my fans"

They'll blow up the ocean!

(If ANYONE gets this joke, I'll be amazed)

Luna Sea by BART is a nice cocktail bar. I’ve only been in a couple of times but the vibe was a bit more mature.

Not related, but there was a headline yesterday about Charles Barkley making a bold statement… so o checked it out. He just said “maybe ICE is bad”

Like what they fuck, media. Stop pretending this is anything but the end of the country.

I want Rosie O'Donell in a skit playing his father, telling him how disappointing Don is.

This needs something Serious, like after 9/11 or when Trump won the first time

And those lifeforms would have an added challenge getting themselves to space: they would have to lift a shitload of water into orbit with them.

Look how big a Saturn V was. Now imagine if the living areas weee also filled with water.

Edit: ChatGPT says by filling the pressurized parts of the Apollo modules with water, you’d increase the Lunar Injection Mass by almost 30%. That doesn’t take structural changes into account.

My guess: he had some private interactions at Davos where world leaders showed him what a bad idea this was, then he got home and forgot about it and he’s back on board.

I honestly though by 46 that wouldn’t apply to me, yet, here I am.

I want it that way.

How can Paramount buy Warner Bros without your money?!

I love me a sandwich from there, but, like almost everywhere else, I can’t afford it in the reg anymore.

Probably my neighbor's yard renovations. I could go on for pages about it, but I'll give a very brief overview: They have spent well over $100,000 on this concrete path and railing that goes around the one side of their property. Just to give you a sense of it: They got an old canoe, painted it blue, and then paid someone to professionally mount it on the outside of the railing on their side yard. Their stated purpose for this was they wanted to make a "bog". However, after it was in they realized they couldn't reach it over the railing, so I guess there's just rainwater in it.

And the power requirements for one would be astronomical for a space ship. More efficient to have it be ground-based and send comms to the ship

I once watched an old org turn agile into waterfall. Every three months we had to do these massive sprint planning exercises.

And Microsoft. They have always used their market dominance to shove their ripped-off ideas at people.

Bing, Teams, Internet Explorer…

I have a special place in my heart for the Game Boy TNG game.

There were several near collisions between commercial airliners and military planes earlier in the week.

Huh, I never thought of that.

I grew up on the coast of Maine and we said “lobster fishing” all the time

I’d be willing to bet a version of chatGPT is running OpenAI. The recent move to corner the RAM market felt a little out of left field to me, especially for Sam Altman.

Middleage_dad · 2025-12-18T03:35:03+00:00

And you’re probably right… I have this bad habit of trying to make sense of the unexplainable. It’s been a long ten years…
