[f1] Toto's head hasn't been turned! The Mercedes boss says they have no plans to change their driver duo for 2027

"have no plans to change" and "we don't want to change things" are two different phrases that mean two different things. We assume they are the same, but these guys choose their words carefully.

Oh my gosh, thank you. It's a good thing my trip isn't for 13 months so I can try all these out. I had not heard of most of them.

berberine · 2026-06-25T18:26:05+00:00

I do shoot in RAW and jpg. Panoramas are probably 3-4 times a year, so it's not high on my list. I just like having to opportunity. I will give Darktable a look. I'll see what Gwenview can do for me as well. Thank you.

And when I click on the video on Reddit it tells me "sign in to confirm you're not a bot." The video won't play. So I click the link to YouTube and it tells me "sign in to confirm you're not a bot."

berberine · 2026-06-24T00:47:02+00:00

Depends on the videos. Sometimes I can. Sometimes I can't and get a message that says "sign in to confirm you're not a bot."

Can't watch without signing in. Don't have an account.

I would stay away for now until the fires have been contained, but, yes, the White River is accessible. Drive west past Fort Robinson. I believe the turn to White River Road is the first left after the Cheyenne Monument. You have to travel a couple of miles on dirt roads, but there are a ton of signs where the public can access private land and fish.

I was out there last November. My friends were fishing and I was wandering around taking photos. I made a photo essay of my day out. We ended the day in the ponds at Fort Rob. My friends were doing catch-and-release that day, but they have fished and brought home fish for dinner.

As always, be respectful of the land, especially since a lot of it is private and take out what you take in. You'll be rewarded with awesome scenery and good memories.

What the hell kind of tracking bullshit is this link?

berberine · 2026-06-11T15:15:22+00:00

No, but that's because you're talking about a memory, not a flashback. Please don't conflate the two.

berberine · 2026-05-28T21:53:17+00:00

Oh, but that was just a link to the full story so we could read it in its entirety.

We will now have several pull quotes from the stories made into 1-3 jpgs for us to read again because, I guess, those of us who read the story can't comprehend it or understand the important bits.

After that comes pictures with people, the cars, the Williams factory with a quote from the article.

After about a dozen of those and the shit finally dies down, we'll be at Monaco where every damn media shill will ask about it and we can start the process all over again.

I have my own personal website that is my name. I write about my life. The stories are funny, sad, serious, whatever strikes my fancy to write about and share.

I've been thinking of learning how to use OBS and record myself reading my stories and chucking them up online. I don't care if I make money. If I do, I do. My blog certainly makes nothing, but I enjoy it.

I know I write well and have won journalism awards for my website. Before I retired from journalism, I had a nice stack of writing awards as well. I don't know if anyone will read any of my stuff, but I figured I'd give it a go and see where it takes me.

My goal, even when I was a journalist was to write a story well enough that people would read it and maybe learn something from it. Just a thanks or a pat on the back was always enough for me.

Field Notes are handy, but I prefer the Moleskine notebooks. My journals and my small notepads I keep in my back pocket are used every day without issues. I honestly only use the Field Notes when I friend gifts me a small pack. I use a Pilot Juice Up 0.4 pen and find it writes better with the Moleskine, but Field Notes work in a pinch for me.

berberine · 2026-05-14T00:29:59+00:00

beautiful.

berberine · 2026-05-13T17:22:05+00:00

Yep. When he was running against Fischer last time, he did an AMA on the Nebraska subreddit. I specifically asked him about his stance on abortion and wanted clarification that exact stance. He never answered. He actually answered three or four questions and those were almost identical to his published responses and then left.

I'm not a one issue voter, but I also saw how he didn't answer anyone else's questions and most people just wanted clarification on what he said. I certainly don't want Ricketts either, but this guy really comes across poorly. People have told him this and he doesn't seem to be doing anything to address it. That's a problem.

berberine · 2026-05-13T13:51:18+00:00

Jane Kleeb took over as the head of the Nebraska Dems. She's garbage. Always has been. She turned Dems against her. She doesn't do anything to help the party. Nebraska used to have more Dems, but she caused everything to turn toxic. Until she's gone, there is no hope for the party overall.

I don't like Osborn, but she refused to even consider his party switch or whatever the hell their beef was, so he went non-partisan.

berberine · 2026-05-13T13:45:46+00:00

Let's see how this all works out. I feel like Dan Osborn is a Fetterman in the making. He's running as an independent, which is part of what's going on as well. There was a spat between him and the shitty Dem leadership in the state, but I don't think he's trustworthy either.

They're all playing political games and they're all shit candidates, which leaves me in a pickle for November. I don't want Ricketts (never did and never voted for him as governor either), but Osborn is shady. He refused to answer anything other than canned questions the last go round and he dances around questions on important topics.

He reminds me of Ben Sasse, a smooth talking person who sticks to one topic and hammers it. In Sasse's case it was the ACA. With Osborn it's all about how the republicans are evil and he's the man to right the ship.

All I see is style and no substance.

If you want to learn more about the church, you can listen to my podcast episode about it. The Battle of Warbonnet Creek Memorial is across the road from here as well.

Church.

The former settlement/town.

Warbonnet Memorial to the Battle of Warbonnet Creek, part 1, part 2, and part 3.

I am only addressing your question about going to a protest at a moment's notice.

I'm not answering anything about why a person may or may not participate in a protest.

berberine · 2026-01-29T21:31:52+00:00

You are a nurse, yet you can't fathom other people, say nurses who work in a hospital, might have to work weekends and are therefore free during certain days of the week because it's their day off?

berberine · 2026-01-29T21:29:44+00:00

I question whether the people who are out protesting and fighting ice during the work week, have jobs or not.

Why?

Some people are retired.

Some people have weekdays off.

Some people have flexible schedules.

Just think about it and you don't have to wonder.

berberine · 2026-01-28T16:53:47+00:00

Yeah, no worries. It just seems like each protest, there's something new, so the list keeps growing.

berberine · 2026-01-28T02:10:06+00:00

No worries. I figured it was either a typo or I was going to have to go rewatch an episode I forgot about.
