Sibling’s family named their dog Wilson in tribute to his island companion.

TheDailyShow/Jon Stewart’s debate episode had cut aways of the puke scene from the end of Meaning of Life.

Appropriate and grin-inducing

And Oh! Do I wish my heavily religious family & neighbors would step up to watch Life of Brian

Didn’t invent it, but definitely ratified it, socially.

And you’re right, not on point. Just first to make it endemic.

Monty Python is on point yet again

Our guitarist said “I could eat my shoe if I’d like to” on one of our recordings. Before my class graduated HS in 1990.

Biggest crush on Winona Ryder starting in high school, when Heathers came out.

Before that, Peter Weller inspired me as hard rocking neurologist, Buckaroo Banzai.

First programming was in Pascal on a Hydra machine (reel to reel computer stack serving 30 stations).

Oydsee:

Hail Four Thieves Vinegar Collective!

More DIY, right to repair, open source living.

From what’s trending about AI, it hasn’t done anything to benefit anyone, including itself.

Speaking of pointless things to root for: The Sox at least won a game

If it can’t figure out how to produce its own power, it’s not doing anything but parasitism.

More Market control doesn’t make us a healthier or better planet

We needed a router for one job. My boss got a router from Harbor Freight. Burned through the brushes halfway through (same day). Swapped brushes. Finished the job.

His alternate plan (if we burned through the second set): return it as dysfunctional. As it would be same day, replacement would be natural.

I think he ended up taking it back for a refund after the job was done.

The headphones: Depends on what they are. Likely, not a better pair without spending $300+

Sm58s are the standard. Some (myself included) prefer sm57s. Though the 58s are the ‘hammer’ (many have used them as such, they still function well after if you don’t absolutely destroy them with the hammering).

I stand corrected: their 40+ years same as always headphones (with exception for detachable cord)

And still, Koss rocks hard with their same for twenty years headphones

Thanks for reminding me to listen to aerosmith & Prince.

Anything else you dislike?

Thanks! Didn’t know about that.

I’ve been thinking (for a while, Pokemon’s not new), if designers got people interested in actual biological life forms instead of imaginary piccachu, squirtle etc

…well, Pokémon got millions to learn massive amounts of information about hundreds of imaginary characters. What if they had learned actual instead of imaginary?

If someone would just fund one to educate, inform & recruit STEM explorers. Programmers included.

Brings to mind the bene gesserit litany against fear:

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

I often pair with:

It is by will alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the juice of Sapho that thoughts acquire speed, the lips acquire stains, stains become a warning. It is by will alone I set my mind in motion.

Which is a nice allegory for most any chemical stimulant (coffee).

Everything is true, nothing is permitted.

Nothing is true, everything is permitted.

Gates and Jobs both are responsible for consumer based computing. Proprietary software lynched what should have been a global birth of inventive software engineers.

The crap that Zuck shills had its groundwork laid by those two.

In 1976, he co-founded Apple Computer with his early business partner Steve Jobs.

Woz was the (head) tech brains behind Apple. Jobs was just the asshole that made unreasonable demands of the techs, overpriced it & marketed it.
