Before things like meth and Trump, Gulf Shores was pretty cool. But I can’t imagine it’s kept up. I have visited southern Louisiana in the meantime, and it’s gone to hell in a handbasket.

AFAICT, the outcome of the game has nothing to do with the athletes. It’s based on how hard the fans hoped and prayed for their selected team to prevail. Other than that, it comes down to corruption and incompetence among the officials.


Old School Bugs & Daffy. The Pink Panther. Scooby Doo. Jam out with the Schoolhouse Rock. Then after lunch, This Week in Baseball, American Bandstand, Soul Train & Wide World of Sports.
I think simply knowing what the “F” is means you’re old and a nerd.


I swear part of it is regional. In the mid-Atlantic region - low volume lot, perpendicular spaces, maybe 1/2 full at max - you can watch people spend minutes faffing around to back into a spot.
Given up? I don’t know. I’ve been appalled pretty much non-stop since 2000, though. When we were taught history, the X’ers learned that the pendulum always swings back the other way. And when you looked back, the notion always kind of held water. But, draw a line from Nixon through Reagan, the Bushes, to Trump, and the conclusions you’ll draw are pretty grim.
There was an influential statement that was true in 1990 that was haunting, though: “The only presidential democracy with [more than 41 years] of constitutional continuity is the United States.” (I think there are around 5 others now between 40 and 70-something years old now.) Despite having a long run, this system isn’t particularly sturdy.
We’ll see, I guess.
“He’s coding! I need a red bull, cargo shorts, and quiet classic rock, stat!”


Also, rather not support Fox.


More like ‘decomposing’, amirite, guys?


Got launched off the side of a boat near Tokyo in January. Wasn’t very buoyant due to heavy winter clothing and the cold water was… something else. Felt like I was sinking down forever. When I did resurface, it took a long time for them to rig up a ladder for me to climb aboard the adjacent ship.
M-x Ctrl-? Why?


To an extent, you can make an argument for each individually. But they don’t mix. After a while, you’d be a walking contradiction. For a fun *exercise, try to imagine the opposite.


What’s the old quote? “If there are 10 people on the shower with a nazi, there are 11 nazis in the shower?”


As someone who preordered it, is CP2077 really a valid mechanism for performance testing?
You don’t even have to leave the realm of music. “A flautist that doesn’t write their own symphonies? Gasp, what a hack!”


“Buut why is muh chik-fil-a so 'spensive, Jim Bob?”


Do even English people say “I’ve fallen sick”? Sounds so dramatic.


Tuxedo, top hat and tails, and a monacle. The pipe, of course, is suggested, but optional. Any less, and Jeeves will tut-tut you mercilessly.
I’m glad. I’ve seen it a few times and that wasn’t my first guess.
