I apparently can grown anything in my garden with the exception of tomatoes. The Great Spaghetti Monster does not want me to have red sauce. Inexplicable.

So far, what I've learned from watching "Resident Alien" is that it is OK to eat octopus if your dog murdered it.

So the president is a little bit above the law, and the Supreme Court is a LOT bit above the law. Above the law = Lawless.

I suppose I could blackmail my 89-year-old mom into not voting for Trump. There are all sorts of things I could do, or not do, that would make her life a living hell. But then -- I'd be Just. Like. Them.

It is possible I'd be willing to pay to keep A.I. out of my web interfaces. I have a nice, crisp $20 bill here. Microsoft? Google? Ball's in your court.

Agree, maybe not quite as respectfully. It isnt as though there aren't stories about how people behave during pandemics.

Among the most important things everyone is supposed to learn early on is that, mostly, no one is paying attention to you and, if they are, they won't remember anything much later.

They're all different numbers. I felt better at 26 than now. But I felt worse at 39. And I felt better at 49 than I did at 26. I could go on, but I won't. ;)

What one "deserves" vs. what one "gets"... they rarely correlate all that well, I think.

I'm not totally against artificial intelligence. It might be great if you don't have any other kind.

I found the first house my parents bought in the 1950s starting with knowing nothing more than their names and the city. Eventually matched up a scrapbook photo with current streetview. 😁

I think I've said before ... I'm not calling it A. I. until it can tell what it's doing is wrong, and stop.

I can recommend this. I don't want A.I. crapping up my search results. You?

I'm not sure I'd find the humor in equating the two on anything more than old and white. In 2016, I unjokingly said that the Democratic candidate had run a mediocre campaign and might lose.

In college, I'd call home once a week. Collect. My parents would refuse the call, then call back on the dorm pay phone number. Cheaper that way. Today, parents track their kids gps, right? Yeesh.

My car is 30 years old and we're in roughly the same shape. So when people ask me how old I am I'm going with 30, in car years.

I guess it would not, if the paper wasn't local. I once tracked down something like that by writing to the librarian of the local paper. She sent it to me, because librarians are awesome.

Anyone else notice an explosion of spam/follow-back/garbage posts and accounts in the #Discover feed?

I've blocked more accounts in the last hour than I had blocked since I joined.

I wish I had an enormous warehouse so that I could collect them all and put them up for adoption. Wait, no. I take that wish back.
