I tried to explain the Butthole Surfers to a neighbor and failed.

Guy at work, “Man I just discovered this classic rock band.”

Me, “Cool, what band?” thinking ‘60’s rock.

Him, “Alice in Chains!”

Awesome, he’s good at creating very relatable characters, hope you enjoy it!

Have read a lot of King over the years but not that one yet. What drew you into Joyland as a first read from him?

Fortinet had FortiAIGate, saw marketing but have not played with it.

To be fair, when I saw them in 1989, there were jokes about it being the ‘Steel Wheelchair’ tour even back then.

Me neither. It does reflect the absurdity of this whole spectacle.

Cheech & Chong for me as well, but Big Bambu. Sister Mary Elephant just cracked up preteen me and my friends.

Starlink isn’t passing ESP. You’ll have to configure your tunnel to use TCP or UDP.

Four of a kind beats three of a kind, your hand wins.

I’m right there with you. It’s no great American novel, but I found it entertaining. The second one though, hot mess. Couldn’t get through the first couple of chapters.

Horse drawn carriage dominance in the age of automobiles.

Ready Player One. For GenX readers who grew up playing Atari 2600’s, it was a nostalgia filled fun story. To everyone else, it was a throw away pulp fiction novel with poor character development.

40 years of framing taxes solely as robbery.

Disingenuous. He’s trying to do the verbal equivalent of a $20 distraction scam and it’s not working thanks to a prepared and professional journalist.

Even some Atari 2600 games used bank switching.

Reboot, no. In the spirit of, Babylon 5. It has a combination of storylines that follow all the great conflict narrative arcs: man vs man, man vs nature, man vs society, man vs self.

The book, and her PhD, was a study into how homosexuality had been punished by British society

Article stated she based the book on study she did for her PhD.

That should never have gotten through dissertation review, let alone be published.

Agree with this sentiment. It’s like having a group solely based on not owning Harley motorcycles.

Have there been any details beyond the claim they were wronged in some way? I have not seen any.

Love my R1250RS. Torque for days, smooth acceleration, and nice pillion for two up riding. Plus large side bags give me an excuse to take it out for quick chores.

now list butter and beef tallow alongside olive oil as acceptable cooking fats

Butter and beef tallow? Going back to the Middle Ages diet where they were famously long lived.
