Boeing RC-1 - Wikipedia

Someone shared this yesterday: Boeing got pretty far into designing the biggest plane in history for short distance oil transport, and it's insane.

I, too, am boycotting CBS (Dish Network isn't carrying WKYT right now because of some corporate dispute).

Random shuffle mode hit me with a "Good Girls Don't"/"Some Girls Do" combo, which I thought was funny.

The lack of code coloration was honestly my biggest issue with your blog, so I love to see this.

I'm old enough that when I was a kid, I used to get bicentennial quarters as change sometimes, which was always a delight. Now, if a kid tries to pay for something with cash, they call the sheriff and have them arrested.

State Senator Gex Williams (R) is trying to pass a bill to ban trans people from being teachers, but he doesn't even have the balls to admit that that's what he's doing.

I really appreciate this effort! Too many man pages omit the simple examples, which is what 90% of users actually need from them.

The new examples account for 100% of the things I've ever used tcpdump for.

It appears to be the best way to use Office on Linux. The web apps don't work well in Firefox.

I bet the price of oil is up because of the Iran thing. Too well correlated to be a coincidence.

The racist anti-Andy Barr ad (which accuses him of not being racist enough) spells "murderers" wrong. So that's a little Easter Egg you can enjoy during the unpleasantness.

I like the new Andy Barr commercial where he says "the radical left assaults ICE" while showing a video of a protestor who is not assaulting ICE even a little bit.

You have stated that robotics today is at its highest level ever, and that your company is its leading edge. And yet, in looking over your product line, my staff could not find a single product described as either "rock 'em" or "sock 'em." Would you like to explain to the committee why that is?

Caregiver daytime television update: They cut into The Price is Right right at the Showcase Showdown to show Trump say nothing in particular about Iran, then cut him off when he started talking about the White House ballroom instead.
