Right now, after $168,000 income in a year, you stop paying social security tax the rest of the year. If they’d lift or eliminate that number, social security would be funded. But they already know this.

One key takeaway might be to do everything we can to prevent Trump appointing another Supreme Court justice.

When I saw OMD in concert they said “ don’t be afraid of old men with keyboards” or something like that. It was awesome.

I think that it is in such a low orbit that it has to be periodically boosted to counteract the drag of the extreme upper atmosphere, so parking things in orbit for a long time isn’t all that feasible.

Why would a 40 year old want teens to think he is cool? My teenage daughters’ friends just thought I was funny old dad.

Yeah, I just wonder since it is effectively the same as cropping in post. I guess if you were going straight to jpg, that would be useful. I think some cameras might have faster burst rates in DX mode too.

Yes, it was brutal. On the way back I stopped at a hotel in Missouri for the night. I’m 6’4” and did this in an Acura TSX with a manual transmission. I could barely walk when I got there.

I drove from Austin to Peoria in one day once. Just over a thousand miles. I will never do that again. I did stop several times.

Fans actually produce heat when they run. It can be more effective to position the fan blowing out the window to move cooler air through the house.

Credit card companies take ridiculous fees from every transaction you make and give you back a tiny fraction as a ‘reward’. You paid for the reward slowly.

A blog I just wrote about photographing on a gray morning at the wildlife refuge. I chose a desaturated look for my photos. Looks a little desolate, but the place teems with life. A great solitary dawn hike.

We reached this weird normal where it is fine for corporations to spy on you in a way that the police would require a warrant for. In fact the police now beg corporations for the spy data instead of pursuing the legal process.

Gray and peaceful hike at the wildlife refuge this morning. I shoot this dead tree a lot as it is easy to isolate against the sky.

I walked to a beer joint, had a couple by myself, and my daughters are coming over for dinner. Perfect Father’s Day so far.

My first experiment using Luminar Neo. A duck portrait using masking. Trying to see if this is a replacement for Lightroom and Photoshop. 🪶🦆 #wildlife

I am not a Musk fan. He seems like a drug-addled lunatic to me. I just wondered why it was so popular to dunk on cyber trucks around here. They make other cars too.
