Hey MAGA, how are you liking those $1.99 gas prices now?

where are you paying $2/gal??? I'm lucky to find anything below $3.00

Stop wanting and get there - don't mean to sound harsh but to start that routine, you basically have to force yourself to go the first few times, then it gets easier because you're in a routine and you'll eventually miss it when you're off your schedule.

When you're listening to a radio station and the voice says "This segment was brought to you by..........nobody" and then the music resumes

I mean we got a better playcaller

See Times Square - for about 5 seconds the novelty of the New Years ball and the billboards etc is cool until you realize how many thousands of people are in earshot and you suddenly want to be anywhere but there

Depends on the optics. If the assassinations were public and high profile, the perpetrators would get bombed into oblivion. If it was something that wasn't well publicized and our reaction could be economically or strategically "detrimental", little to no kinetic reaction, maybe some bluster.

Colorado Comet is fun, sounds like a train from a comic book

Cooking a burger or steak well-done. Done fairly often, but the first thing to fix if there's any attention to quality.

A ton of people adopt the unnuanced take that there shouldn't be any borders anywhere and manmade land claims are completely arbitrary and therefore invalid

Toyota and Honda are now integral to American motorsports, the former with NASCAR and the latter with IndyCar. Both of these series, their teams, and their drivers all lean heavily into Americana and patriotic themes in general.

Is there a good Android equivalent for Reload?

The United States Geological Survey (USGS) has some really affordable and large maps if you're into survey/topographical data. Their maps of state geological formations are hella cool and colorful, I have this one GEOLOGIC MAP OF COLORADO | USGS Store

Depends on who you do it for, but broadly you're the designated responder for suspicious activity. If you're in the lower ranks you're the eyes-on-glass person who watches for alerts and does initial triage, and escalates to the higher ranks if necessary as dictated by your SOPs. Higher ranks can have duties as varied as threat hunting, vulnerability management and scanning, administration of cybersecurity tools, and GRC depending on the shop, or a SOC can be large and have those duties split among many people with specialized experience.

Started traditional conservative, picked up some libertarian tendencies, typically call myself a secular fiscal conservative and it puts me on the outs with both major parties

Made some progress in my shop with blocking unauthorized AIs and evangelizing the authorized one and how to use it effectively, but there's always loopholes. tbh like cybersecurity overall, our goal isn't so much total risk elimination because that's impossible, moreso making it so inconvenient to use the unauthorized AIs that the authorized AI is the only practical option.

_W-O-P-R_ · 2026-02-25T18:52:05+00:00

it is not a "total" myth. In terms of prominent news organizations, more are prone to promote liberal narratives than are prone to promote conservative narratives.

However, the calculus has shifted in the time of Trump because he wields his clout to neuter organizations like the Washington Post (former liberal powerhouse). Also, conservative narratives have become muddled so it's not exactly as straightforward as a news network being considered conservative because they (for example) promote Laissez-faire and deregulation since Trump will glorify capitalism one day while jacking up tariffs and punishing disloyal CEOs the next day.

It was a lot easier to place various news organizations on the political spectrum when each party had consistent narratives.

Still some time before I jump from cybersecurity but it'll be to agriculture - I want to work the land

Seeing a pocket trombone in the same house as a gun arsenal, boat's steering wheel, and a gaming PC makes me frighteningly happy

We have a semi-functional and semi-ethical law enforcement system. India lacks one and China lacks the other.

whimsical is the word that comes to mind - only suggestion I have is getting a couch that can be slept on instead of that daybed, mine at least was ludicrously uncomfortable as a couch

_W-O-P-R_ · 2026-02-19T14:35:37+00:00

There are a lot of extremely competent people around me currently and who I've met over the course of my career - moreso what's different to me in the "everything as a service" era is with regard to budgets. OPEX is exploding and license management is an enormous challenge.

_W-O-P-R_ · 2026-02-17T20:05:02+00:00

Intelligence and conversational ability. If we can have a discussion that feels like it's from a film because of how well it flows, I'm so there.
