Yeah, it's Carlos' fault for deviating from the plan. Let's keep the meeting.

Active shooter situation at a small town middle school just a short distance southwest of us. Sounds like the suspect was "neutralized" before getting into the school and no kids are hurt, thank goodness.

I don't think hanging the roll of toilet paper backwards counts as dangerous.

I think it was a story for an audience of one: the guy who said he could stand in the middle of 5th avenue and shoot somebody and he wouldn't lose any voters. But as much as he might agree with the feeling behind the story, he's savvy enough to know she'll now drag him down even further, so the VP p...

And then she thought it was a good idea to brag about that in her book?! Like that makes her a good leader?!

Tahlvin

Glad y'all are okay.

You're thinking with the benefit of 50-ish years of experience. When you were that age, you were just as full of horse pucky as those darn youngster are now. Incidentally, it hit home for me this week with the first verified case of what I knew was eventually going to happen. I started working at my...

Tahlvin

Okay, what are y'all doing that you're going around saying "cotton" so often during regular conversations?! I'm lucky if I say or hear that word once a month.

Tahlvin

If so, there's hope for you yet.

I know there have been studies that having extreme amounts of wealth actually changes the way the brain works. I've always been a fan of the theory that having a lot of money makes you more of what you already are. If you're an ass, it makes you more of an ass. If you're nice, it can make you more n...

He says he wants to know the password for the WiFi.

Belated happy birthday to Eli!

Belated happy birthday! May your days be filled with family and gaming!

Yeeeesssss???

There's now a Lego D&D set!

Do they realize that a large number of libraries in the late 19th and early 20th century were actually funded by Andrew Carnegie, a wealthy capitalist?

Tahlvin

They're adding Paranoia to Roll20!

Mike, when can we expect you to run a game for us???

I exercise, run, and stretch regularly, so my knees are okay. I have a tendency to get some pain in the tendons at the side of the knee during some of my leg workouts, but subtle adjustments to the positioning of the knee usually fix that. The thing that's been bothering me recently seems to be burs...

If the end result is that another right-wing billionaire snatches up another prominent social media company, during an election year no less, and allows propaganda to run rampant in the name of "free speech", this will be another self-own by the D's.

My oldest, trans son recently got married to their trans boyfriend, and will finish school in a couple months for early childhood development. My daughter has a job decorating cakes at a Whole Foods north of a Denver and seems to be enjoying Colorado. Our youngest transferred to UW-Madison, had a ro...

Love the automatic cruise control and self-steering features. They make long road trips much more pleasant. Another nice feature we like is heated and massaging seats. Heated seats are almost a necessity in Wisconsin winters, but even on long summer road trips, it's like having a heating pad for you...

I have 91 days until our flight departs for Scotland.

I used to play Skyrim and some of it's earlier Elder Scrolls siblings (Oblivion, etc.). Even had a VR version of it on the PS4. But something about the graphics always made me nauseous and gave me a headache, so I had to stop.

Tahlvin

Oh yeah! My trans child officially got married to their trans partner! They legally married a few months ago in order to get their partner on their insurance through work. But this weekend they had an "elopement" and had a ceremony to make it "official". It was just the two of th...

Carl Weathers, 76.

By the way, it's Wisconsin other than Milwaukee, so the jury was all white. I recall the pool of people that showed up on Monday morning for possible jury duty, and it was overwhelmingly white.

The trials is done and I can talk now. Scene: A laundromat. A homeless black man (English is not his native language) who has been using the facility's restroom was told earlier in the day that he was not welcome to return to the facility. Later that evening, said gentleman returns to the facility. ...

I had an inhaler I've been using for years to prevent sinus polyps. Turns out the manufacturer decided to discontinue the inhaler at the end of 2023 because of some enforced price reduction that would have taken effect in 2024, and the replaced it with a very expensive name brand medication that's n...

I have to serve on a jury at a trial on Thursday. It's supposed to be just a one day trial, so I only miss one day of work. I've always been a bit curious what it's like, so I'm kind of looking forward to it. But details will have to wait until after the trial concludes.

Tahlvin

Happy B-Day, big guy!

You could just text her.

I have asthma (very well controlled, as long as I take my preventive med), so I'm susceptible to pneumonia causing severe respiratory problems if I do catch it. And having been hospitalized once a long, long time ago because of pneumonia and asthma complications, I don't ever want to repeat that.

I tried to get my flu and COVID shots at a pharmacy a few weekends ago, but my insurance wouldn't cover it. So I had to wait until during my annual physical that had been scheduled months ago for a Monday morning. And I didn't even know that would happen until they asked me at the start of the visit...

I had a checkup yesterday, where I got 3 shots (flu, COVID, pneumonia), gave blood, and had a foot x-ray to make sure I don't have a stress fracture (I don't, just some tendonitis from running). Slept like crap because both shoulders hurt from the shots and I'm a side sleeper, so I couldn't get comf...

Since I'm the same age cohort as you two, and watched the same Saturday morning cartoons growing up, I visualize it as cartoon sheep jumping over a fence as well. Although I do love your sons idea of laying down in the field and the sheep jumping over him.

The Long Earth -- Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter Absolutely addictive. Couldn't stop listening. It's flawed in a bunch of small ways, but it's such a huge ambitious effort that sucked me in and let me ignore all that. And this is book one of a series (a series of five so far, I think), and it's...

I've read a couple of her non-MurderBot series and they were pretty good. The The Books of the Raksura series has a few things that may be a bit more on the mature side in terms of sex (nothing explicit), so may be more for teen and older. The Ile-Rien-related books ( here and here ) were also good....

That sucks. Hope everything and everyone is okay.

Congrats on getting them forgiven!

Already have it pre-ordered! Can't wait!

I use LastPass as a password manager, similar to Kyle's. So for websites, each site has a unique, complex, machine-generated password. I also have to create logins for accessing my clients' networks, and each one has a different policy for how often passwords need to be changed, complexity, etc. (i....

Suzanne Somers, a day before turning 77.

Tahlvin

Good luck! Take it easy to start, and slowly build up in intensity and distance, and you should do fine. If/when injuries happen, ease off and give your body time to recover.

A bit late in being posted as he died in May 2020, but this recent editorial cartoon is what brought it to my attention: Charles Saunders. Black journalist and author of "Imaro", what may have been one of the first Afro-centric sword-and-sorcery fantasy novels.

There's a big difference between training dogs for search and rescue and training them to be attack dogs, usually including which dogs are used for which type of work. How convenient that Ethan's SARS dogs happen to be dual-purpose dogs.

Tahlvin

Seriously, with all the "perps" Jade and Ethan have killed so far, do you honestly think this virtual army is going to politely capture them rather than at least one person in the group proactively just busting a cap in their asses?

OMG! This is AI-generated Amish gun porn!
