I read that as “weirdest holiday” and was going to say National Talk Like a Pirate Day - anyway sorry for the interruption, please carry on.

Dad said we’re getting a sourcebox!

When Trump isn’t seen in public for days I don’t bother wondering why, it’s just a welcome break from him getting attention.

IF THEN MAYBE...

That rascal.

just annoyance

Absolutely. It’s Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Start. But you didn’t hear it from me.

When they can do transparent aluminum, I’m in!

edit: yes I know there’s a ceramic material called ALON, which the manufacturer calls transparent aluminum because it contains aluminum oxynitride, but I don’t think that’s what Scotty meant. ALON is about 30-35% aluminum, same as the amount of lead in leaded crystal glass, which isn’t “transparent lead”.

When I was a kid my mom called something newly cleaned or washed “brand clean”.

Bingpot!

snot?

Trump invents AI Superhighway, Greatness ensues.

To me it’s weird that people have issues with this. My wife and I, married 35 years, share each other’s locations because if something bad happened we would want to be able to find each other. I don’t even give a second thought to, “…and I can make sure she isn’t cheating on me.”

I just used a free online thing called PDF2Go to split a giant PDF into 4 smaller files. It let me directly download the resulting 4 files without signing up for anything, and they work perfectly on my box (linux mint). Tbh I don’t think the UI is super intuitive but I just googled “How to split a file on pdf2go” and found clear instructions. It has a lot of other tools I have not explored.

I avoided this issue by embracing the completely non-controversial “become a contractor” work schedule. When you’re a temp they specifically want you NOT to work overtime without prior authorization - because they have to pay for it. And as a software dev I was always treated identically with employees, except for a few special things like some company meetings and offsite events - which I didn’t want to attend anyway. And I got paid almost twice as much hourly than I would as an employee. Sure, I had to buy my own health insurance and didn’t get paid time off, but when you double your salary those are non-issues. But what about job security? LOL what about layoffs? My job security was that there are always contract jobs everywhere.

Reminder: authority only exists because we let it.

I ignore boycotts because they tend to affect the common employees of the targeted company more than the CEOs they’re aimed at. Congrats, you clicked on Brand X instead of Brand Y. Your uncle got laid off when the quarterly numbers went down, but a billionaire has $3 less now, and more importantly you feel like a hero. Way to go, Joan of Arc!
