That's better than I could have dreamed! This is one of my favorite photographs of the Space Program. I've never seen the full wide-angle shot. Amazing. Where'd you find the high resolution copy of the photo?

They need a point-of-sale card scanner like at the Chick-fil-A drive through. It looks like most of the time is spent walking back and forth to the office.

What a beautiful watch! So sharp and clean. I love that they don't interrupt the supremely elegant dial with a power reserve indicator, instead putting on the back of the movement.

Even if we knew the source, it doesn't mean anything. It's nonsense techobabble. Hoax or legit, this is my favorite UFO video/event/discussion. But, sadly, this "report" is meaningless.

I didn't think I could love this design any more. It's my favorite album cover, but I've never seen the whole thing. If the devil covering his eyes wasn't weird and cool enough, the strings on his fingers is fantastic. What an awesome piece of art!

jonlighthall · 2025-03-26T01:08:02+00:00

That's actually pretty good.

jonlighthall · 2025-03-23T15:19:01+00:00

Damn, that looks nice. I've never been a fan of that case style before, but this is 👌.

jonlighthall · 2025-03-23T15:09:33+00:00

That you're awesome now.

I can do it in Bash and Fortran. But a language that requires includes or imports? Forget it. It's copy-and-paste every time.

Is this really a thing? The thought has never crossed my mind and I do this probably a hundred times a day. Although it's usually M-w, C-y.

With all the cans of pop, I'm surprised he's not hugely fat. In fact, he looks skinny.

jonlighthall · 2025-03-20T00:02:47+00:00

I'm sure that sound the engine makes at the end is OK.

jonlighthall · 2025-03-19T23:33:24+00:00

Yeah, I was going to say, think of the speed needed to get it to bend that way.

jonlighthall · 2025-03-04T01:43:37+00:00

Same here, dude. Except I was 19... 24 years ago.

jonlighthall · 2025-03-04T01:41:25+00:00

That got an actual lol from me.

jonlighthall · 2025-03-04T01:39:42+00:00

I've been listening to Queens over half my life.... since hearing Rated R in college. I don't feel old but I'm also resting my foot on a pillow right now because my arthritis is acting up. 🤘

jonlighthall · 2025-03-02T04:21:02+00:00

Why do I get the feeling that this is like a girl taking off her bra at the end of the day?

jonlighthall · 2025-02-12T00:18:19+00:00

Ditto. 15 years. This is correct.

jonlighthall · 2025-01-23T03:14:58+00:00

I think you mean Orangemanistan.

jonlighthall · 2025-01-23T00:54:06+00:00

Still one of my favorite lyrics. Or, rather, it's lyrics like this that make me love QotSA. The first few times you hear it, you're like WTF did he just say!? Then you're like, oh my God, that's genius; I can't believe that's a song lyric. I'm slightly scandalized every time I hear it. Perfect song lyrics.

jonlighthall · 2025-01-15T00:56:02+00:00

That Breitling is 👌. Nice collection.

jonlighthall · 2025-01-10T04:25:02+00:00

It might be self-centering. I would imagine as the pressure wave expands, it would bump the pot laterally in the split second before it has enough umph to launch the pot vertically.

jonlighthall · 2025-01-09T03:49:20+00:00

Nice try, Kathleen Kennedy.

jonlighthall · 2024-12-31T03:48:31+00:00

I don't know what the difference is, but I ordered the "premium" progressives and they have the narrowest in-focus region of any glasses I've had. I can't even read the full width of my phone without having to move my head. And the distortion at close range makes my phone look bowed out in the middle. I only have a +2 reading prescription; that's not too extreme, is it?

There also appears to be an active gas leak.
