This is why you may find it useful to send a kind note or taco basket or something to your friendly neighborhood system administrator on July 28th, which is System Administrator Appreciation Day 2023. It’s a thankless job and nobody knows your name until Rome is engulfed in flame and you’re the only one with a hose.

I think the GOP conference can solve this by emptying a broom closet, taking out the light bulb, put the two inside and jam the door closed. Wait a full day. What emerges will be A-OK to move forward with.

I guess it is a bit more of a challenge if there is no electrical switch close to the toilet.

Yeah, the ones I tried in Japan had the heated water for the spray - it was divine. That’s what I want.

My house is 120 years old. There are not enough outlets (grounded or otherwise) anywhere in this place.

To some extent, I think the lede is being buried, here. If these women are consenting adults, why are they with these celebrity men? Aren’t these celebrity men also attractive? They are celebrities, and they do have money and live a lifestyle that we can assume is fairly luxurious, and they likely have stability and…

I just don’t get it. Wyoming’s a lovely state to my north and as long as you don’t let politics ruin a conversation they’re wonderful people up there. If EVs are so bad, why is it that they’ll depend on coal-generated electricity that’s genuinely a boost for the Wyoming coal industry, because the state is well-endowed…

At some point I’m going to build a new house and I’m putting outlets beside the toilets exactly so that I can have washlets.

Yes, this. A thousand times, this!

Whenever I’m in Vegas, I take taxis everywhere that’s more than 2-3 blocks away from where I’m at. The riffraff on the sidewalk is the worst part of the town. Yep, it might mean spending a hundy on cab fare in a day, but I save at least that much value in relief at not having to cope with the public drunks, weedies,…

Dogs are better for rats. Cats are good for mice.

So much this. It’s costume, and needs to communicate the character.

I can’t wait to forget about this guy.

When you live in the nation’s capitol, I guess tourism is sort of expected?

I miss soooo much of SNS. Shelter Cat Update sorta faded when Krispy started having difficulties with the shelter supervisor, but I know he’d be chiming in every now and again. We could do a “Saturday Night Squee” that might feature all manner of fuzzies, maybe? I got a lot out of the community at SNS. I miss that…

Talk about burying the lede, you know?

I just don’t understand the “Elon Magic”. Never have.

Pure gold.
