Not only all of the above, but for Paul in particular, a genius who was in the midst of one of the largest creative highs of his entire career. I mean, some of the snippets of ‘hal…

I mean...it kind of depends. As a history buff, I love the French plantation scene in the long version of Apocolypse Now Redux... I totally understand why it was removed from the o…

Full stack dev checking in (Django on the backend, Angular on the frontend). Also have no difficulty with modern development (web or otherwise) despite having cut my teeth on 8-bit…

I think the fins on the back of a batmobile set I have are from a dragon in one of the 'castle' sets...

"...you have practically unlimited entertainment." This is a tangent, but I feel like I enjoyed things more when I didn't have practically unlimited entertainment. Video games befo…

I mean...based on what? We have more stuff, that's for sure. Our healthcare (when we can afford it) and nutrition is probably better and more consistent. Are we any happier? I'm no…

I guess I just don't care enough about whether or not a person, party, or politician has contempt for me. Whoever has the policy that will be best for the country and the populatio…

I mean...it's not 'The Left' that's pushing the 'fake news' and 'alternate facts' agenda when they come up against anything they disagree with...

Hrm. We have Apple Music and Spotify. As I mentioned, my wife and kiddo use Spotify and have never complained about music gone missing, but my experience with Spotify is probably a…

I love that the 'deepities' wiki page has a link to the page on Deepak Chopra... lol

I loved loved LOVED our three week stay in Morocco in 2019, and their cellular infrastructure was pretty decent (like, traveling all over we were never without cell service and at …

So the ‘few bad apples’ argument is valid for police force that they’re protesting, but not for the protestors?

There are no PPP solutions for A/UX. I also have a SE/30 with 6.x, 7.1.1, 7.5, and A/UX on it (8 GB is a LOT of hard drive space on a SE/30) and the PPP solution works for everythi…

How many times do I have to buy the same software, though?

Yeah, I spent a couple hours today trying to get pleroma installed on a pi4. Pleroma unhappy about the elixir version, elixir unhappy about erlang version. What a mess. Simple is n…

Meh. The last three and a half years have pretty clearly demonstrated that a large part of the foundation of America that we’ve always believed was held in place with ‘checks and b…

Within reason, sure? The idea that that compensation should exist in perpetuity is nonsense, particularly when the people who most often are the ones getting compensated aren't act…
