Scoring on a ground rule double. You say, but you can't score on a ground rule double. Don't worry, the umps will find a way.

I gotta assume they forgot to say why I would be rounding up, but what I was asked was "Do you want to round up to make it an even $17."

Like what?!

Today I got asked if I wanted to round up more order. Not for charity or an organization. Just if I wanted to.

No Taco Bell. I don't want to pay you more just for fun.

This weekend I laughed when a student, as a joke, took out a sheet of notebook paper and called it paper like.

My high school student is more credible than NYT.

TIL Glenn Beck is still doing the blackboard shtick. I figured he gave it up after John Stewart did one of the greatest mockeries of all time.

Gonna be honest, even though I have absolute faith we are going to win in the end, the doom levels have been off the charts for me the last few days. He's really cranked the evil shit up in October and that's having the desired effect in me.

I'm hoping Saturday is just massive.

Desktop Linux is not a solution to the problem of Windows. It is just a replacement of Windows problems with a different set of frustrating problems.

But fuck I'd much rather have the Linux problems than whatever the fuck this is from Microsoft.

Nearly 1% of Russia is a casualty of this war. That's an absurdly high number in my mind.

Don't be down on yourself, this is pretty solid. I've been trying to find a good use of Black and Tans for a while, but couldn't figure out how to make "show them how you ran away from the frog costumes" work.

I feel we're so used to the inertia of the USFG that an omnicrisis collapse is impossible to imagine.

A collapse of rural health, a cost of living crisis, and the potential for greater housing and an AI crisis... I mean I don't know how we get out of this one without rubble and smoke.

Holy shit this is bad, but especially bad that multiple Kansans are not only involved but specifically called out as being pro-Hitler.
