Ok, but it helps when you are a bigger person than they are.

I know a few guys who helped author some vertical specific CRMs that are in retirement age. A project like this might be good for them as it would give them something to do. Passing this along.

I have played UT on and off since its original release. I am glad that there is no way to figure out my total hours played.

I realized that I was selling myself a story based on a fantasy. FDR and Kennedy sold us on a dream, but the truth is that the US is and has been ruthless, racist, and a bit fascist since its inception. With the exception of Obama (and even then it’s iffy), every administration since Carter has been very right-leaning and short of compassion (Clinton was basically a moderate Republican).

Looked at from that perspective, what gains we have made are something to be proud of. What stings is that some of those gains are going to roll back. Sisyphus something or other.

Your forties are around the corner.

Depressed middle-aged appeal is apparently a thing. Never in my life was I hit on more (by women and men) as I did when I hit my forties and my hair turned gray.

Come to think of it, that diagram is super accurate. When I was in my teens (elvish) and twenties (line cook) it felt like was living in a sex avalanche, but when I hit my thirties, I became invisible. Thirties doesn’t meet any of the three criteria.

All of the above plus moka pot, Aeropress, cold brew, french press, and instant.

Just like with OS selection, I hold no allegiance and use the tool that best fits the requirements.

I have been an IT professional since 1995. Never have I ever had a personal PC that wasn’t either a refurbished laptop or some sort of Frankenstein abomination that I put together from whatever was on sale and upcycled parts.

Mastering the awkward silence is a very powerful tool. I am not kidding. If done right, people become uncomfortable and start to talk in order to fill the awkward silence. In those anxiety filled moments, people tend to overshare.

Long silence combined with providing minimal information is also an amazing negotiation tool. You’d be shocked how often and by how much people will give up ground when confronted with awkward silence.

“The Onion is proud to acquire Infowars, and we look forward to continuing its storied tradition of scaring the site’s users with lies until they fork over their cold, hard cash,” said The Onion CEO Ben Collins. “Or Bitcoin. We will also accept Bitcoin.”

No single administration has the ability to totally fuck up the country in the amount of time they have.

Women in need of reproductive health services in red states would like a word.

For anyone that hasn’t played UT99, try it. There are still plenty of servers with active lobbies. I have played this game on and off since release.

Tooth & Tail. Bite sized R^aTS

Obviously. You can’t really expect the pope to play solo. Now the true question is, who did he romance first? My money is on Karlak.

VMWare Workstation Pro is now free and I believe that it had GPU passthrough. Don’t take my word on that though. I haven’t used it in a few versions.

Gen-X reading this.

I thought it was The Onion.
