Thank you for this review, I remember reading it as a high schooler & now want to re-read!

Taking up a new hobby, "store-brand Gail"?

My philosophy has always been to avoid investing in things where "bagholder" is a term of art

Holy crap I only have one point on this thing. where did I leave my walker?

Protest organizers are also recommending that you don't lean into antifa.

Spouse (the Horse Person in this house) says, "yeah, new saddle, sorry"

Also: fenders can be soaked in water and "curled" (tied until dry) to get them out of the way.

In case you haven't already thought of it : spouse is short legged, same problem with stirrup length. We used a leather punch & awl and made the holes to the size needed.

Post from Dan Satterfield Blue checkmark to the right of name Ok, I keep getting asked about how to complain about Kimmel. The best way to complain that will have the biggest impact? See if you have a Sinclair or nexstar station in your area. 2. Watch the local newscast tonight or sometime this week. 3. Note the companies that bought tv adverts. 4. Call them and let them know that you will boycott them until they quit supporting that media company. Trust me, I worked in tv for 45 years. Nothing you do will have greater impact. Nothing.

I’m so sorry for not posting this with alt-text. This one has it.

To what address should I send some kneepads and mouthwash, this reads like you could use some

We live in the dumbest, lamest cyberpunk dystopia possible. So LA has been — and continues to — protest against ICE. These protests haven’t gotten any smaller or lost any momentum, but social media wasn’t reflecting it. TikTok users, realizing that the platform/other social media are censoring/deleting/shadowbanning these protest videos, decided to find a workaround. They’re calling it the LA Music Festival. Ice detention centers and other protest locations are “stages.” The hottest band is Rage Against the Machine. “Here’s what gear you should be bringing to stay safe at the LA Music Festival.” And it fucking worked. TikTok has become a proving ground for a lot of new music, meaning lots of labels and organizations have lucrative deals with TikTok to promote their new artists and music festivals. So they absolutely cannot censor the words “music festival” or train the algorithm to ignore it, or they risk endangering that very important revenue. So now protest videos are flooding feeds again, but it’s the LA 24/7 Music Festival. Truly an incredible timeline we’ve landed in.

Everything old is new again, in the 60s these were coded as "parties"....

Holy effing hell, Satan, cool it will ya? <snort>

oh yes, my daughter lived in Kansas City and I hated that airport. They’ve completely done a remake with a new set of terminals and it is light years better now.

So AWS is back to Mainframe "Migration" (as opposed to the more genteel "Modernization", which they switched to when IBM became an AWS partner)?
