I love these USGS publications. So much history in them.

You can now get it again with an additional $75 subscription addon to your membership.

I am not sure there is anything else on the Internet worth reading today.

All depends on when it was put in. $40 in 1999 is now about $70 in today's money.

Not going to lie. If you submitted a resume for a job I was hiring for and you 1. Pass the HR check 2. Had some of what I was looking in skills 3. Had Eagle Scout on your resume Yo…

This made me laugh. Many a scout has been 1 merit badge away.

I am already a part of several Mastadon instances. Each with several thousand users. The great thing is you can create your own environment where just your own users can communicat…

This is not true. My father normally crushed my forces in about 5 hours.

Our economy was roaring not to long ago because everyone had more money and there was stuff to buy. Now I have less money and less stuff to buy. Good bye economy.

What a world we live in! Just read how shoplifting isn't worth prosecuting so it isn't a "crime" anymore. Now using a VPN is. Yeah!

And they also supposedly only have 93k confirmed COVID cases. Not sure I believe this.

I remember spending hours with ResEdit exploring what I could do by flipping bits and changing resources. So much fun and so many good memories.

My company just had a lay-off. Lots of good people gone not because they did anything but because the market we are in tanked. Went from a we are going to crush it this year and hi…

Nice

Had a coworker that found that out the hard way. Got a DUI and didn't tell anyone. Then one day a few months later had a work trip in Canada. They stopped him at customs in Canada …

The current court is often rejecting cases that they feel are more the responsibility of the legislature to resolve. I had heard an opinion on this that the court thought it was th…

I spent a decade of at least 1 hour in and 1.5 hours back every day. That is a lot of time I wish I could get back in my life. When you work 8 hours + 2.5 hours commute it all adds…

I was a subscriber for 15 years. When they went digital it lost a lot of value for me. However when my subscription came up for renewal in June I realized I had not even read an is…

Yeah when I saw the email I was kind of sad. kind of because I saw it coming. When my subscription ran out in June I didn't renew. So i guess I am partially to blame.
