When I was 10 years old I sat next to a guy on a plane who sold linoleum tile. He said he used to be an aeronautical engineer, but lost his job when the bottom dropped out of his industry. I've always remembered that, and try not to ta

I've read a decent number of books about climbing big peaks. In all of them they said they were so nauseous on summit day from being in the death zone, they could barely force down a protein bar.

And I'm sure none of his base will notice or care that months later the reporter isn't actually being prosecuted. The political points scored still count.

My Dad still sends all emails to my main address and my gmail address, due to the occasional spat between netzero and godaddy that would block emails to my main address.

Seems like a ton of problems could be solved by just keeping the tunnel open an hour or so later. Maybe they don't want people driving drunk back from Anchorage. Force them to end their night early.

Alien is my favorite movie of all time. I'm still made about Prometheus. Mostly for the plot, but the CGI is painful as well.

Agreed. This is the movie equivalent of fixing bad UI/UX with "we'll figure out the messaging later".

CGI worked pretty well in the original Matrix and Terminator 2. When CGI is innovative and fits the plot it's fine. When it's used in the same formulaic superhero movie 30-minute final battle scene we've seen a dozen times--w

Way way back in the day, my friend wrote a program that would format the user's Commodore 5 1/4" floppy disk (usually the one that also ran their BBS) if they just tried to load it. They didn't even have to run it. If so

But depending on the situation, that problem may never happen. I'm not a big fan of introducing complexity to guard against code screwups in the same codebase.

Cats like to have a perch to see the comings and goings in their territory, at least during the day. I believe in the big viral photo the cats in the dish have a heated cathouse nearby, which they only use at night.

Yes. But the intrinsic value of a piece of art is tied to someone wanting to own that art for the enjoyment of it. The intrinsic value of a stock is tied to the earning power of the company you own a small piece of. NFTs have no earning pow

Most crackheads either died, went to jail or got clean. It's not a sustainable lifestyle. Cocaine takes a lot longer to bring someone down.

It blows my mind that the Great Pyramid of Giza was the tallest building in the world for 4,440 years (give or take 10), until the Eiffel Tower finally dethroned it.

Spectrum has turned old equipment into a profit center. Twice now when I canceled and turned in my equipment I still had to file an appeal to keep from being charged. Full price of course - for some old cable box or modem they just throw in

I have ADHD and my internal monologue is in hyperdrive and going off in 10 different directions every waking moment. So maybe it can work the other way sometimes too.
