Reminded that Helicopter is not Heli+copter it is Helico+pter (latin: spiral wing).
IIRC, in classical latin that's
/ˈheɪɫikoʊˈtɛɹ/ (HAY lee koh TAYR)
Sounds fancy!
"The dirigible? Heavens, no! Roger and I always take the express hayleeco-tare from Mimico to Toronto."
Oh, but reading the obit, that poor woman. RIP. Her memory will be a blessing, and her name immortal.
Dang. Yoo young.

"All you had to do was pay us enough to live."
It may be enough for this to be the first thing they really hear, for it not to be the last thing they ever hear.

This is really hard to hear.
The big NoKings were profit-makers for every corporate coffee shop, restaurant, and hotel in the area. Nothing was truly disrupted. It was permitted as a release of steam to prevent an explosion. Nothing changed, again.

I love this idea, have said it many times, and will probably post it again and again.
I'm an insane lump of soggy bacon, hunched in a dark stone vault, operating a badly programmed sloppily engineered and somewhat fragile biomech suit, tripping balls, believing its/our/my hallucinations and suit-sensor mediated experiences are "reality."
But "human" *is* a lot easier to say.
An array of 9 nearly identical selfie portraits of the author, trying different expressions.
I've always told my SO I am a robot, and I will prove it on my deathbed. My last deliberate words will be: BEEP.
Would a human need to practice smiling?

In just, moral, sane, society, all the people we have running government, industry, etc., would be under compassionate care in an institution while receiving treatment for their various afflictions, such as narcissism, psychopathy, egomania, megalomania, sociopathy, hoarding....

One assumes that the FCC boss that tried to suppress the Talarico interview hadn't heard of the Streisand effect.

Corps should add anti-self-Streisand training to anti-phishing and pro-ethics training roster.

After reading of the struggles of other mustachioed men, I am grateful that in my many decades of mustache, I have never gotten any hairs trapped and yanked out by a pull tab.
Not a Microsoft gamer, but... Ew, this is gonna be bad.
Sunday night: it's falling fast and fluffy. The neighbors shoveled 3 inches from our walks at 10? and it's already filled in. Wheeeee!
I'm so sorry. I agree, and I shall eat any future portion in your honor.
With exception granted to those very talented GAs who transitioned into web site designers then crammed back- and front-end code wrangling into their brains without pushing UX completely out their ears.
Another skill non-overlap: software developer and user-interface designer.
Unless they want a single screen with dozens of inputs, buttons, and mysterious widgets, glowing with colorways from 80s kids clothes, they had better hire a UI/X specialist.

As if ICE wasn't already terrible, grabbing patients from the urgent care parking lot seems extra bad--increasing risk of dangerous disease spreading through the detainee population.
Oh, I see, that's not an accident, it's a low-effort, hands-free, extermination plan.
If only all user guides were so clear...all my stuff would have cum in it.
The real fun begins if China (the big scary enemy that somehow also makes all the MAGA hats?) decides to join in and freezes shipping to the US until they behave...a couple weeks should do it.

Sure, the rest of NATO can't prevent a US annexation of GL, but they can (among other things)
* call their loans
* make no new loans
* stop buying US goods
* stop exports to US
Remember the empty shelves in 2020? Here's hoping folks remember that prepper just means prepared.
Hmm. I don't know if I'm advanced enough for that yet. I'll keep the idea on the back burner.
Troll Inner Dialog
I don't even *like* R.E.M., but that LMR remake I just heard was, without trying, much, much worse. Of course, "without trying" is the whole problem.
Troll Thoughts
"Covers" don't have add anything new, but if your cover is on the radio, it becomes IMHO a _remake_, and it has an *obligation* to be great—to bring something new to the listener. It _must_not_ be a soulless, insipid, lazy, waste of sound.

Enjoying a wintry NJ diner breakfast before weekly grocery shopping. My fav: Coffee; 2 pancakes, 2 eggs OE, and a slab of scrapple, all together, chopped up, and covered in ketchup; looks like a crime scene.
As far as this troll is concerned, ketchup is just tangy tomato syrup.
FYI, I lived, and was feeling (and tasting) much better a couple days later.

Content warning: TMI, Long COVID, gross body things.
We can't usually smell or taste our own lungs--except on day 2 of a med-resistant chronic cough, when I am sure I can definitely taste my lungs, and they taste like phlegmy scab.
They look super good, and very, very "Dave's boots"-like.

"Art vs Artist" conflict leads me to be a worse person.
"I wish _______ would die soon, so I can enjoy their work again."

On the subject of odor—I smell really good. Like, good, good. Thank you, my bless-ed ancestors for the good stank genes.
