USB wall-wart

We got the kids tablets for long car rides too. We let them use them as a reward. PBS Kids games and Epic (books) are good compromises.

the desert to the east of San Francisco.

Lol what the fuck? I assume you are taking about California Forever but desert is a weird word to describe the Sacramento River delta. It is one of the largest estuaries in north america.

Or just about anything by Uwe Boll

Is it refering to people in their first year of university? If so in the US they are referred to as freshmen.

I’m well aware where those soundbites come from.

Its almost like rich idiots are running everything. Like they got their positions not from competency but from nepotism. That can’t be true though.

Starfighter will always mean something different to me.

HOLY SHIT IS THAT A HEADPHONE JACK?!

Seriously this ticks boxes Ive given up on. I never thought Id see a phone with all three: waterproof, removable battery, headphone jack. It even has wireless charging which isnt really one of my boxes but is a little extra if you use it.

The books stay the same. I liked them. I read the first two in a single sitting on a (verry) long flight. They are popcorn books. Fun without too much substance. The action is told from his point of view which is pretty jaded, its supposed to be humorous, and yes its a very dry humor.

Ive heard good things about that comic, less so about the TV series.

A dark comedy take is Creamerie. Definitely recommend.

aka how not to be an asshole.

Watching my kids take swim lessons I am super impressed how they KNOW how to teach. They have a slow steady progression of techniques that build on eachother. Same with gymnastics. Build strength, technique and confidence. No need to terrify kids.

In a similar vein, the social emotional learning they are teaching kids is great.

Its kinda weird that Trump is the alternative here. I did it too, but the fact that we are rolling over him breaking the 22nd amendment and then pretending like our votes matter at that point is kinda messed up when you step back.

On the other hand, not-trump is a pretty damn good quality.

Sad but true. I fucking hate that we are talking about this fucking asshole, but like that bullshit recall election in '21, I will hold my nose and vote for harm reduction. So fucking depressing. You think its gonna be Trump again? If he wants to stay in power, breaking the 22nd amendment, why have elections at all?

I didn’t get to get a lot of comics as a kid. I got punisher because they tended to be more insular. I borrowed friends/relatives Carnage comics but never got to finish the run. I couldn’t get into fantastic 4 partly because there were so many iterations, and some of those I would get the lecture of ‘well you really gotta start here and this references this story line from 5 years ago’.

Punisher was simple action and tended to have shorter story lines.

its really not, we just have cowards who are afraid of the word regulation running the government.

please mark this as NSFW. I watched this on my work computer.

It was hilarious, but I mean…

And they need to keep asking questions that piss him off.

Except this is not true. Immigration does not depress wages. It boosts the economy.
