I started out with technology in the early 90's and never stopped. Now starting to get back to my roots.

In the meantime I have owned an IT business, served in the military, wrote a book and a bunch of other stuff.

I have other stuff you can see from here..

  • The Trump administration takes a very Orwellian turn

    Jump

  • "They did the thing we're now going to do. How awful they were."

  • Senate confirms Jeanine Pirro as U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia

    Jump

  • So glad to see the dems resisting. Oh wait.

  • Cactus Bloom

    Jump

  • Shoulda used a beer can for scale. Each flower is about 8” across.

  • Senate Democrats point fingers after failed tariff vote

    Jump

  • The only reason democrats lose is because of democrats. They screw up a good thing more times than I can count.

    They do it with such regularity that republicans can now be the boldest of assholes and consistently deliver on their obviously heinous plans.

    I think the bicycle/stick meme was based on democrats.

    South Carolina executes second man by firing squad in 5 weeks

  • Seems like a guillotine would be far more humane. No 80 seconds of breathing - man that must be like an eternity of pain.

  • What did you do as a child that would be considered dangerous today?

    Jump

  • GenX - here's a few:

    Lawn darts. Unsupervised play over 1/4 mile from home at age 8. Unsupervised play over 1/2 mile from home at age 10 with a BB gun. BB guns as paintball weapons. (no eyes were put out). Riding a bicycle to school on a highway shoulder from grade 7-9. Latchkey kid. Going fishing with a neighbor (retired man) as an adolescent for 2-2 summers. (Ps. We fished and talked.)

  • If you know when you'll be done, you already know the answer you'll give.

  • Americans started drinking more during the pandemic, and a new study shows that lasted for years

    Jump

  • I finally managed to cut back and this latest catastrophe has me eyeing the bottle again.

  • Luck of the dice

    Jump

  • Nice pic! I’ve always played 10000 with 6 dice.

  • Democrats consider the unthinkable: It’s time for Biden to go

    Jump

  • Biden would have been better off skipping all the events and say he can't validate Trump's candidacy with a debate. He's a felon and being tried for crimes unbecoming a president. But now it's all blown up in his face.

    I really don't think the debate changed any minds, but it did energize one side and depress the other. I doubt that energy can be sustained, attention span is very fleeting.

  • Two Russian tanks are defeated by FPV drones of the "Alastor" unit of the 25th Airborne Brigade.

    Jump

  • Really impressive flying. I feel like I'd overshoot because of over-correction but these pros got it nailed down.

  • Minnesota Democratic ‘uncommitted’ vote nears 20% in latest Biden rebuke

    Jump

  • “…crisis he can look better at dealing with.” I swear I didn’t have a stroke just now.

  • Minnesota Democratic ‘uncommitted’ vote nears 20% in latest Biden rebuke

    Jump

  • Pretty sure Netanyahu wants Trump re-elected so he’s going to make Biden’s life as difficult as possible. I think Biden loses favor no matter what he does when it comes to Gaza, unless there’s another crisis he can better at good dealing with.

  • Meta platforms are down

    Jump

  • Stay down Meta, stay down.

  • Ex-FBI source charged with Biden lies is tied to Russian intelligence, prosecutors say

    Jump

  • Will wonders never cease.

  • Gary Brolsma - Numa Numa (2023)

    Jump

  • The comments show appreciation from another “legend”, which makes this so much sweeter.

  • I made Margherita pizza!

    Jump

  • Yum!!

  • Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen says 2024 is going to be a 'very good' year for the US economy

    Jump

  • What’s the worst that can happen? She’s wrong and she’s looking for a new job January 20th. May as well go out bold.

  • Would changing useragent to chrome cause me problems?

    Jump

  • I'm studying for my Network+ (should have had it a long time ago), and watching a #youtube live stream with a study group. Very laggy and buffering events, even when turning my resolution down to 360p.

    I suspected I was being throttled because I was using #Firefox and uBlock.

    I opened up #Chrome (no #adblock is added), and watched the same stream. No glitches at all.

    Not surprised but quite annoying of course.

    I'm going to try a useragent addon and see if it helps.
