I spent two weeks in the UK surviving on McDonald’s shakes because I started my vacation with a stomach virus, which was not improved by the percentage of fried food at the Glasgow hotel’s breakfast buffet.

I used to be friends with a motorcycle highway patrol cop. He said there’s something about the flashing lights that attracts drivers like moths to flames - they’ll get distracted by what’s going on and drive right over the bike.

Slings & Arrows (Canadian TV show about a Shakespearean theatre festival) has some excellent Shakespeare scenes, showing what it takes to make them work. It’s also amazingly funny.

And it’s only Safari 15. If you haven’t found a compelling reason to upgrade to the latest Mac OS, you’re not affected.

Also with Adobe, don’t make the mistake I did - you have to be logged in to delete, so if you’re using a company license, make sure you still have access to it.

My youth-group movie night had movies like “Creature from the Black Lagoon”, but then it was pre-cable TV in a one-movie-theatre town and they were actually trying to attract a crowd.

What really made it take off is how easy it is to share your results. That’s why the once per day aspect is key to its success, otherwise it would hit Farmville levels of annoyance.

Seriously. Where was the security in the mayor’s office?

Given how much we’re leaning on old Western movie tropes - revenge for the Tuskens? But it’s not encouraging that I think this is a revenge set-up episode and still wonder why he bothers to stick around.

Isn’t that just a cable upsell thing, though? I had a guy at Frys tell me he “couldn’t live with myself if I let you walk out with anything but a Monster HDMI cable” - this was back when HDMI was new. I put my credit card away and told him he was going to have to live with me walking out without the new TV I’d been…

It goes back farther than that. 50s TV had The Untouchables, 60s was full of WWII shows. There’s a persistent 20-year nostalgia cycle, with a smaller 40-year cycle.

I know it as British slang for “annoyingly cutesy” that’s older than the Internet.

Google Shopping - it’s older models, and I didn’t check whether they were actually in stock.

$35 for the pi, $5 for a case. The only thing I saw for over $100 was a beginner’s kit that included a keyboard and mouse. Not that I’d even bother because I spent too much time working with USB devices to trust even the legit ones to be well-behaved.

Nope. Just because it looks like a USB drive, doesn’t mean that’s what it’s going to claim to be. See my other comment - we found one that faked being a keyboard and opened up an URL on your browser. It happened to be harmless in execution, but malign in teaching people bad habits.

Our security guys carried around special smartphones that they were supposed to tap to RFID stickers to show they’d actually been making their rounds. One day we come in to an office where we keep our mini test servers - your basic desktop Dell running our software - to find one of those phones plugged in.

Raspberry pis are cheap.
