I think he misread his notes when he made that quote. What he meant to say is that we'd get tired of all the whining.

A dialogue between Captain "Hawkeye" Pierce and Father Mulcahy from the TV series M.A.S.H. Hawkeye: War isn't Hell. War is war, and Hell is Hell. And of the two, war is a lot worse. Mulcahy: How do you figure, Hawkeye? Hawkeye: Easy, Father. Tell me, who goes to Hell? Mulcahy: Sinners, I believe. Hawkeye: Exactly. There are no innocent bystanders in Hell. War is chock full of them - little kids, cripples, old ladies. In fact, except for some of the brass, almost everybody involved is an innocent bystander.

Hawkeye had it right.

When I first unboxed my Oral-B iO toothbrush and put it on its charger, I almost immediately got a notification on my phone from Home Assistant that it could be integrated into my network. WHYYYYYYY.

When I was looking to leave $OLDJOB, I was talking to a friend who was at Twitter at the time about a position there. Ended up deciding it wasn't right for me. This was before Elmo. Dodged a huge f'ing bullet there.

Great Scott!

I did N*zi that coming.

When this all over we need our own Nuremberg Trials.

Amtrak only serves Grand Central during maintenance at Penn Station. Currently only Metro-North serves Grand Central (also the Long Island Railroad, via the new Grand Central Madison which is arguably a different station). But I still doubt you'd be able to do this in a day.

For a few reasons, I can't put solar on my house, so I signed up for a community solar farm. I don't get why people aren't all rushing to do this. I paid $0 upfront, I can cancel any time, and they guarantee a price of 10% less than whatever the power company charges. Where is the downside?

Hey @jeffgeerling.com... Would you consider offering another version of your Cosplaying shirt in a different color?

I've found that that "crunchy" screen printing does look a lot nicer when new, but wears out much faster. After several washes, it starts to crack and flake off.

I can hear Uncle Sam turning over in his grave from here.

The actual "Uncle" Sam Wilson is buried just up the road.

Hey @aoc.bsky.social, could you look into why the copy of the Constitution on Congress's website no longer includes half of Article I Section 8 or any of Sections 9 and 10? There's some vaguely important stuff in there.

Proud to have you represent our state, Congresswoman. Please keep fighting the good fight.

Yeah, the "kind of back" concerns me. Besides, at this point I'm so ingrained in Apple's vertical integration ecosystem, I kind of don't want to switch off it now. Yeah, I could have a cheaper watch, but the way it works with all of my other Apple stuff is just so seamless.

I was an Android user for years, and had several generations of Android watches. I got so fed up with just how bad they were and the lack of improvements in them, as compared to just how well my wife's Apple Watch went, I ended up switching to iPhone. I'm still mad at Fitbit for killing Pebble.

Well now you can just claim that Taco Bell conflicts with your religious beliefs, so your kids don't have learn about it in school.

How much does that thing weigh?!

I’ve been using these same outlets since before I saw your first video on them and they’re great. I think I have a dozen of them deployed in my house now.

At my yearly physical this morning, my physician said she ordered a test of my measles immunity with my labs. She said if it comes back negative, I should get a booster in light of the outbreaks. She said it’s not something she’s ever had to recommend to patients before.

I now shoot (stills) on a Nikon Zfc. State of the art, high end consumer digital camera, but it _looks_ like it’s from the 1970s. Literally every event I’ve brought it to since I got it around 8 months ago, I’ve had someone ask me if I’m shooting film.

Many delegates, including Alexander Hamilton, fretted that "one of the weak sides of republics" was their susceptibility "to foreign corruption"; leaders elevated to "stations of great preeminence and power" by the people, Hamilton wrote, may be tempted to abandon their "obligations of duty," lured by "compensations" from other nations seeking influence. In other words, federal officials could be so entranced by the wealth of foreign leaders, especially monarchs, that they might sell out their own country in exchange for a share of the riches dangled before them. The delegates sought to guard against this existential threat to republican "virtue" by adopting the foreign emoluments clause-unanimously, and without debate.

It is bracing to reread the Framers’ bone-deep fears about foreign corruption of the presidency and realize Trump is exactly what they were trying to prevent. slate.com/news-and-pol...

The buck stops in his wallet.

I was at my vet's office a couple weeks ago, chatting with the doctor, and right in the middle of a sentence my subconscious realized that their background music was playing a string quartet version of Radiohead's Creep, and my brain just froze up and was like... wait what?
