Not sure if it's a proud Dad moment or not, but playing charades with some friends, one of them tried to get people to guess "The Boy Scouts" by holding up three fingers (scout's honor salute). My kids don't know anything about the Boy Scouts outside of the fact that now-a-days the organization is gay and retarded. So one of my 8-year-old girls guesses, "Bourbon?" (because when she plays bartender I ask her to pour me three fingers).
I have to use Excel for work. And I have to say, whatever asshat came up with the idea of those stupid floaty boxes that hover over cells after you do something to give you "formatting" options - that guy should be forbidden from every working in any IT related field again. He shouldn't even be allowed to run a parking meter.
Tried to install SteamOS on a Geekom mini PC I bought. Of course it doesn't work. Can't find the network.
This is why I hate all things Linux. It NEVER works the way it's supposed to. There are ALWAYS an infinite number of stupid fiddly bits I have to arse around with to make anything ever work.
After the Fauci testimony:
Can you cross your eyes?
Dammit. I didn't need another flashlight.
I'm trying to help my kids stay up-to-date on current events. So, tonight. I showed them "Hot Shots".
Huh. Ask.com is no more. I had forgotten it was even a thing. I remember when Ask Jeeves first came out.
Do you like your beef jerky
If you hear them singing to you from the side of the road, @mrman@noauthority.social , resist temptation and just keep driving.
Some of this year's Easter Butterflies. . . .
This is the kind of music I imagine @mrman@noauthority.social listens to.
Bucaneer Bunny - Yosemite Sam introduces himself as, "The Blood Thirstiest, Shoot-firstiest, doggone worstiest Pirate that's sailed the seven seas."
They just don't make 'em like they used to.
I had forgotten that Hank Schrader spent his early years honing his police skills working alongside Murtaugh & Riggs in Lethal Weapon 2.
Is the original Tron movie considered Sci-Fi?
The upcoming Harry Potter TV show on HBO:
Roberts is always so full of it. And every picture I see of him reinforces the old adage, 'Never Trust a Man Who Smiles Like a Jackass Eating Briars."
You can really feel it in the Starsky & Hutch show when they're intentionally padding the run time to fill the time slot. "Hey, let's hold this minute long shot of the guy slowly climbing down the scaffolding." "How about a half a minute of Capt. Dobey just looking out the window at guys getting put into an ambulance."
That's one thing Streaming did for TV shows - it eliminated the necessity of filler. Make the show whatever length it needs to be.
Too bad most streaming shows are 💩 .
Which one?
At this point, I'm convinced the "I'm definitely still working on the Tintin sequel" an epic troll by Spielberg and Jackson.
I'm curious. When I proposed to my wife, I did not have a photographer standing by to "capture the moment." In fact, something like that never even occurred to me as an option. It was a private moment for us. Yet, I see all the time now, pictures and even videos of proposals (and I don't mean stunt proposals like "I got the JumboTron at the ball game to show it"). Is it a generational thing?
