I worked at the old wiffle horse at Jordan and University. There was a skid row motel behind it. Might have been the Scottish Inn. When they tore down the motel all the roaches moved into the restaurant. They tore it down and built the new one that’s there now.

La Alameda used to be right there as well on University. They had coin op black and white TVs in the booths. Watched the Columbia disaster on one.

Your analysis is spot on.

I worked as a cook at Wiffle Horse when I was a kid and had just left home. They put us up in a hotel once in preparation for an ice storm. I fucked a waitress that was much older than me, crazy party.

We recently moved out of the south. During the moving process I made sure the kid and I ate there enough to get tired of it.

That article was absolutely fascinating. I knew that leafleting was a common propaganda tactic, never thought about it using nudity and sex. Had heard of Tokyo Rose and Jane Fonda.

Not that I’m doubting you, but do you have more info on the lasting toxicity of napalm? I hadn’t heard of this.

I knew that the defoliant Agent Orange had dioxin contamination that led to all those horrible birth defects and cancers. Also, the contaminating nature of depleted uranium is obvious as a heavy metal but I think we still don’t grasp the magnitude of the problem. Iraq and Afghanistan will likely be seeing awful effects in future generations.

Clove oil. Put a few drops on a cotton ball and put it against the tooth. Your whole mouth will go pretty numb but it will usually kill the pain for a while.

American healthcare sucks.

Very fair and accurate criticism. There also wasn’t a ton of character development.

The vividness and internal monologues caught me. As did the constant tension. Stress and tension were very well portrayed such that action was a relief.

I did it with a raspberry pi 4 and direct installs. If I had it to do over again, I would have a more powerful small server and use docker inages. There are a lot of docker guides out there but I don’t have experience with it yet.

I had to do a bunch of complicated stuff like mounting my remote storage and such. I’ve been playing with Linux a long time. If you’re not experienced with Linux, I’d do docker.

You start getting setup with Usenet, gimme a holler and I’ll send you a drunken slug invite. It’s the best indexer I’ve found, and I think I’ve let all my other indexers lapse.

Do a bunch of reading before you start, before you purchase anything.

Yo-ho-ho. The wife and kids love the pirate life as well. They just search what they want on Radarr or Sonarr and it pops up on Jellyfin in a few minutes. We were spending around $200/no on services with a lot less choice and lower quality.

The Thirteenth Floor.

Yeah, they ain’t much in the face, but they working some truly hypnotic mammaries. Mermaids would probably catch me as well. I’m a simple man.

I’ve always figured that if you gave the Duras Sisters some fine blood wine and got them drinking hard, you could then switch them to Romulan ale. Then they would snuggle with you. You could probably avoid them cutting you up but you would need to sneak out the next morning.

Accidentally poisoned myself and was talking out of my head.

I’ll read more tomorrow, seems like a very good book so far. I especially liked the part where he cussed the pope and cried into his lap.

I was thinking of Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Aldous Huxley. My mistake. Recovering from a accidental poisoning and was talking out of my head. My apologies.

I can’t justify the money right now. Have giger and yerka prints.

I’ve built parts on the space station. I think we’ll keep getting out there. We’re trying.

Frank Herbert wrote about Dune. Kevin Anderson and his son did some shit trying to make money. I don’t blame them, especially his son.

Doesn’t seem like they have the same vision or grasp of distance. Bless their hearts, they can’t help it. Anderson, mostly, fuck him He wouldn’t know sacred if it smacked him between the eyes. He can’t find a trail or hunt a purple elephant.

Aldous Huxley? Great person.

35 is for when the kid is in the truck.

45 is for my damaged hearing by myself.

60 is all the way up, bass boost off, most songs don’t distort the sub.

Farm and eweka.

I drive a 98 Ranger XLT, it has a 5900 lb towing capacity. I’m pretty much going to keep fixing it forever.

We both mostly work from home and she likes clicky keys, so blues are not a problem.
