I am! I plan on integrating it into my field service workflows. I have an AirConsole adapter I use for switch management, a USB-C Ethernet adapter, and most of my work is done in a web browser or ServiceNow anyways — so this is a blessing and replaces a bulky laptop for basic troubleshooting jobs.

As usual, I get chosen last. Me and the fat kid with the unibrow.

The Bene Gesserit’s Missionaria Protectiva — essentially a form of the Campbellian* monomyth designed to keep the Sisters from being harmed on potentially hostile planets — is Herbert’s parody of the Foundation. Where Asimov believed that fake religions could be used to control the masses and guide them to order and…

I hope no one knows who I am through my kinja account. The last thing my constituents need is more ammunition against their Prime Minister. 

“Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent.”

I would add to this that the main characters, as developed by Asimov, are successful because they are clever and adaptable. Asimov believed that intelligence could win the day - and I hope that sensibility comes through in the series.

I reread the original Foundation trilogy over the summer, and one thing that struck me was the optimism. In terms of optimism, the average Foundation adventure makes a typical TNG episode look like a David Fincher movie. In stories that were written at the height of WWII, the good guys are able to win over planets…

Hey could we just get a Flash movie without having to shove in more Batman? Like, he’s getting his own movie (again) he doesn’t need to be in someone else’s.

Bill Barr even projected about projection. He did an interview where he literally said one of the bad thing about Democrats is that they accuse their opponents of what they’re guilty of themselves. You seriously can’t make this shit up.

Right-wing politics has always basically been “The reason I’m not as successful as I’d like is because foreigners/communists/government agents/vegans/lesbians/women in general/black people/mexicans/gay people.” Implicit in this is that these people never think that they are to blame for anything, because a fundamental…

Ever since Trump, I’ve noticed a shit ton, and I mean A LOT of projection from anything/anyone affiliated with the Right. It’s kind of a character archetype at this point, probably because most of their base are absolute dunces with no critical thinking skills, empathy, or self-awareness. So they project and steal…

I had the same reaction except with ROCKET ROBOT ON WHEELS.

Mystical Ninja 64 or I riot.

And while there’s nothing particularly spectacular to glean from the handful of currently readable PDFs, that didn’t stop hardcore Nintendo fans from going wild with predictions for what this apparent controller could be.

I will believe it when I see it, or Nintendo announces it.

After all the rumor mongering over the Switch HD to be announced this summer, Nintendo did not do that at all.  Instead, the announcement was for the OLED version.

I really want to play N64 Gauntlet now...

Another opinion would be mid-life crisis possibly due to all the death around you. My wife and I both work in the medical field. She did not take any days off until a month ago when she went to a bachelorette party in Cabo for our mutual friend who is the one getting married. Shortly after she comes back she tells me…

Barely-a-millenial here. At one point in my former marriage, I was working two jobs; one full time during the days, and doing delivery driving in the evenings part time. In the mornings, I was expected to make the school lunches for the kids before going to work. Between the jobs I cooked supper for them all and threw…

I’m amazed at how many sour grapes there are about marriage. And holy shit, Jezebel’s headlines keep getting more clickbaity as the days pass. Part of me understands the general jaded feeling/view on marriage because theirs either failed or they know someone who’s marriage failed, and that messes and warps their view…

If you’re keeping score and continually fighting over who is more miserable you probably both need individual and couples therapy, asap.
