Klobmentum is going to make its return! Amy Klobuchar, bay-bee!

I’ve got a few of these in the garage, split into halves and carefully tacked to the walls, as bumpers. (The garage is a bit on the small side, as befits something that came with a house that’s 120 years old, and anything larger than a Fiat is tricky to park.)

Just a reminder that we didn’t even elect this ghoul to be our governor -- he only got the job when the last one resigned on the eve of impeachment. We sure know how to pick ‘em in Missouri.

If I withdrew $20k under this clause, and paid back $12k over the next three years, would I only be on the hook for income tax on the $8k “balance”?

snitches get wrenches

I’m coming up on three months of remote work, and I’ve definitely lost it. I used to think of myself as hateful and curmudgeonly, which is absolutely correct, but it’s no fun being hateful if you don’t have people around to hate.

Does she mix them? I’ve seen Dr. Pepper-based barbecue sauces, so PeppeRanch might be right up her alley.

Hey, it’s worked for racism for over a hundred years.

Former Visible customer chiming in. They use Verizon’s network, as they’re actually owned by Verizon. But they’re LTE-only, so your coverage in rural areas will be iffy, and roaming basically isn’t a thing. Depending on where you use your phone, you may or may not care about this. (I tried them for a couple months but…

Two words: ROLL CAGE.

Some of the more icky Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies shorts from the 1930s and 1940s used this approach — a short intro and/or title card talking about how the content is wildly inappropriate — on home DVD releases. It’s a sound approach.

The AX3000 only has one port. I don’t know what would happen if you, say, plugged in a USB hub. (I’m not even using the port on mine, though I’ve considered picking up a cheap external USB drive and using it as a super-low-budget NAS.)

The AX3000 has a USB port, and allegedly double the wifi speed. Double the speed is double the price, of course, the AX3000 is around $150 on Amazon. (I bought mine at Micro Center a couple months back and it was $170 there and then.)

Zoom supports virtual backgrounds, so no matter where you really are, you can look like you’re on the bridge of the Enterprise, or the beach, or wherever else you want to go (as long as you can find a good picture).

The home computer’s a Mac (I only use Linux at work). And I easily could install Windows, though having to spend $100 for a license would be a bummer. I’m just easily irritated by imprecise wording, that’s all. :)

Launching on Steam,

I think Babylon 5 by itself is half the chart. Earthforce ships have the rotating sections because humans haven’t worked out artificial gravity; the Vorlons use ships that are apparently biological but also have giant-ass saucers; most of the Minbari fleet would probably fall under simple/biomorphic. If I went back…

Several states have sore-loser laws that prohibit exactly that. 

Is there some extra magic needed to get this to work? I dutifully entered the specified coupon code, but no prices changed. Several items in my cart are explicitly labeled “X% off with code CHERRYTREE”, and the promotion is listed as being applied (there’s a “Current Promotions” link on the cart page, and clicking it…

This covers a lot of why I don’t “get” Classic. Sure, there’s a lot of nostalgia value in seeing these old zones. But willfully ignoring the last 10+ years of improvements in game design,the last 10+ years of quality-of-life improvements, I don’t think it’s for me. (I tried, got bored of stopping for thirty seconds…
