Heh. Those probably aren't the ratings they're looking for on that "Best Places to Work" survey.

This is why I don't want Whitmer (She's already said no) anywhere near 2024. I think she's a great 2028 candidate.

Final thought: STOP LISTENING TO THE POLITICAL PRESS They do not have your best interests at heart, full stop. They want to make money off your fear. They're too ignorant to even have a survival instinct--do they think they won't be targeted in a Trump dictatorship?

I hope the media are happy with themselves basically tanking Biden’s campaign. I’d rather have someone else too, but that isn’t going to happen. In fascist regimes the free press is one of the first things to go…

Almost radio silence on anything negative about Trump from the media. The lack of balance in the coverage is maddening.

/8 At any rate, congratulations to the Federalist Society for an achievement beyond the reach of the British, outside the grasp of bloody civil war, impossible to Nazis and Soviets and terrorists: defeating the American idea.

If you have the chance go see Stereophonic at the Golden before it's gone. If you are a creative type especially if you've ever been in a band go see it, it nails the experience.

The party of law and order sure doesn’t seem to like the law. Mike Johnson is now calling for the Supreme Court to step in on a state matter. If it happens, the constitution isn’t worth shit and the experiment is over. One party will rule until we revolt.

Adulting sucks! One AC unit went out turning the upstairs into a sauna for most of the day. It hit 90 at one point which I'm sure all my gear loved. 16 and spouse somehow didn't notice it... I am now the proud owner of two portable AC units.

Got back from RSA to fire up a game on EA's service. EA Anti Cheat process immediately starts eating memory uses up almost 19 gigs before it seems to free it and start over again. Uses quite a bit of CPU as well and makes games unplayable.

According to this "no losses" theory, nothing with FTX, Theranos, Bernie Madoff, or Enron was a crime or even a civil violation until the entire thing came crashing down. It's perfectly fine to lie about millions of dollars unless it goes bad, then it's retroactively illegal. 🙄

Nerd success: Fixed the amp in the subwoofer for the surround sound simply by replacing one bad capacitor. $11 in materials vs $220 for a replacement amp.
