Untitled

Did you hear Canada has a space agency? Yeah, it’s the tallest moose they could find and a guy with a hockey stick and puck riding on the back. He hasn’t yet been able to slap the satellite (puck) into space, but they’re hoping one day he can. They’re still looking for a taller moose.

Cola

I finally (again) found that one Lana del Rey song I liked when I heard it. It’s “Cola.”

Unlike most of her output, this song works because she’s not attempting to be a poor imitation of Hope Sandoval. Here’s the song with some scenes from Jennifer’s Body (Which is a great fucking film).

Drawing

Do you ever get tired of being ‘the man’ ?

Sometimes I do, but then I realize no one else is gonna fix it. I get tired of watching people fail and flail for days, weeks, months and sometimes years. I know where to draw the X, so I draw the X.

The above is the life of a sysadmin type until I one day hang up my hat.

Stop U

People who think Russia is likely to stop with Ukraine are very, very dumb (like, exceedingly so).

Lab

Was told that lab-grown meat was not possible due to contamination and microbe issues. Of course, we already make other processed foods using similar methods as we will apply to lab-grown meat and those issues are not a hindrance.

The impossibility of lab-grown meat will be something that is merely “impossible,” not actually impossible.

I predict it will become common in 10 years, ubiquitous in 20-30 years.

Not Really That Smart

Smartphones are probably the worst thing to have happened to society since 9/11. About the same level of devastation overall, I’d say.

Rejection Woman-style

How do I tell an overweight woman interested in me that it’s her personality, not her weight, that’s turning me off?

Try this: “Even if you were the most gorgeous woman in the world, I’d rather tongue-kiss a Toro chipper-shredder than spend a single minute in the same space with you. If you, Hitler and Putin were in the same room and I had a pistol with two bullets, I’d shoot you twice. If somehow you were still alive after, I’d beat myself to death with the pistol.”

That’s a start, right? 😉
