Living in Texas, don't feel Texan. Listening to New Order and dreaming of the Pacific Ocean.
I'm a Navy brat, Army veteran, and work for the DoD as a contractor. Despite that pedigree, I am not a jingoist.
I prefer to spend my time consuming science fiction in various media and playing with computers. In recent years, it seems "ignoring politics" is not a wise strategy, so I'm trying to be a better citizen. So far, not having a lot of luck - see above about living in Texas. :-)

Does a keyboard need a CPU and GPU? It does if you want it to display Unreal Engine-powered animations on the keys...for reasons.

I've never heard of Liam Payne or Dixie D'Amelio, but this is a catchy little tune for Day Twenty of the musical #AdventCalendar
That is a CHONKY boy, particularly with a 7-inch screen and no battery! On the other hand, you can honestly tell people you built your own laptop (for certain values of LAP).

Interesting - for people who routinely use grocery pickup/delivery services, what is the best path to avoid filling the world with "single use" reusable bags? Can the store collect and reuse them? What logistical challenges does that add?

A little newer than yesterday's track, Day Nineteen of the musical Advent calendar is the classic from Slade: Merry Christmas Everybody.
