Indeed. To paraphrase the riff on Overdrawn at the Memory Bank, “never show a clip from a good halftime show in the middle of your bad halftime show”.

Yeah, I was the same. I was never a fan of the comic though (didn’t dislike it, but dammit I can’t consume *everything*). My favorite part was really just that the bad guy was Rasputin...

Yes, let the hate flow through you. And now the student becomes the master.

Yes, we wash our loofas with our towels, about once a week, sometimes 2 weeks if we get busy/lazy.

The skin on my face isn’t terribly sensitive. I don’t use shaving cream either (just a little body wash and shave in the shower). I’m 44, so if this was going to be some kind of problem for my face, I think I would have known about it by now.

Well, I wash my hair every day, so I’m sure some of the shampoo cleans it. Then I basically loofa everywhere with whatever bodywash was cheapest and smells decent. Yes, I loofa my ass and face with the same loofa. Stop judging me.

Yeah, I’m getting that too, though the aspect ratio of at least one of those photos is screwed up (upper-left), so I’m not sure if she’s being “squashed” in the other ones.

Hey, I’d love it if he stayed on and continued to watch dog. I’m just saying I’m sympathetic to getting sick of it and saying “eff this”.

Are you referring to this?

Yeah, I thought from the headline that this was the thing that had been cancelled (which, fair point, will probably get someone killed eventually).

I mean, I don’t know what it accomplishes for *us*, but I’m certainly sympathetic to Liccardo not wanting to spend his time being the lone voice of reason.

To be fair, much of the time I have no idea what he’s talking about. Is that encryption? Or just syphillis?

I feel like “I’m glad that Senator is well versed in this tech issue and using experts appropriately” is something I should be able to say more often, but I guess I’m glad I can at least say it now?

Sure. I mean I can’t begin to imagine being the parent on either side - it seems indescribably awful. I’ve been watching our downstairs neighbors go through a lot with their 14 year old. He is fairly autistic, and didn’t start talking until he was like 5 or 6 (and doctors told his parents he might never talk). They…

I mean yes, he sounds a dick, but I think you are burying the lede here, which is that there is a professional tennis player named “Tennys”.

Yeah, is this a thing people say? I’ve never heard this expression. Seems like a pretty open setup line (“your mom”, “my cock in your mouth”, etc. etc.).

Eh, Techies have always gone to it. It’s roots are a bunch of techies burning a giant man on Baker Beach in SF. It’s fun and it’s interesting and I’m glad I went a few times in my 20s (44 now). I could see going again someday when I can afford it, but I have a kid now, so “Daddy’s going to spend a couple thousand $$…

You mean if your kid was the victim. What if your kid was the perpetrator? (Not defending them, but as a parent of a 5 year old I gotta say that I feel much much worse about “your kid bit someone” than “some other kid bit yours”).

Yeah, I think that’s about the last time I ate at one too, and I remember it being fine, basically a nicer Denny’s.

It actually seems really high to me. I’m in Mountain View, like 2 miles from Google, and my speeds are like 20/6 (and that’s actually a good day, they’ve often been sub-10 download). effing Comcast.
