44 years ago today! On July 9, 1982 – “Tron” premiered in theaters.
This was like the third or fourth movie I saw in the non-drive-in theater as a kid. I was seven years old.
Amusing
Done Wrong
TLS certificates for internal services done right.
Bro, if you’re using split horizon DNS — no matter how it’s set up — you’re not doing anything right.
I guarantee that you’ll have problems of all kinds there. Reachability, security (I already spotted at least three major issues!), and flaky-ass behavior left and right.
Split horizon DNS is the way of the pain. You think it won’t happen, but it will. Terrible idea.
Resp
That can’t be right. I spend like 1-2 days every 2-3 years sick with a respiratory infection. And that has been true my whole life, not just when I began working from home. In fact, I don’t know anyone who is sick that often from respiratory infections.
Before I posted this, I asked a close friend who will tell me absolutely anything honestly how often she gets sick and she said, “Maybe one or two days a year.”
I think that number is just made up by covert Covidians to support their doofy but now-irrelevant agenda.
Democlown
It’s interesting how right before capable AI was released many people were generally of the mind that anything useful had already been discovered, technology had stalled out, and that we were done with progress in that realm.
Well, so much for that. It was always clownish; now it is once again demonstrably clownish.
Vendage
How far we’ve fallen….
Plath of Most Resistance
My mom wanted to be some combination of Sylvia Plath and Janis Joplin.
What she ended up being was a mean, stabby drunk. Kind of a mega-fail there, really.
Indig Moon
Wouldn’t it be cool to go back in time and tell the founders of this country that Americans are the only people indigenous to the Moon?
I think it’d be cool.
Tower of Power
About 60% of the electrical power we use is due to all the compute, storage and networking gear we have in our home. That is not an exact tally; it’s possible it’s more than that since that number is a conservative estimate.
That’s what happens when you get two computer nerds together. We have more sophisticated infrastructure (and more of it) than many medium-sized businesses.
And I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Too Tat
Correct. It’s also culturally-defensible (and defended) self-harm in a way that cutting and anorexia are not. It’s just mental illness; has nothing to do with the claimed “owning my body” or “keeping away evil men.”
Though it is pretty hilarious when it does in fact repel those top 1% men they think they deserve. Love that. It makes me laugh a lot at how very enraged the horribly-disfigured tattooed women become when they realize that has happened.
Queen Akasha
I’m glad I’m not a 3,000-year-old vampire because in the modern liberal mind there’d only be one other person I could date, and they’d be be my arch nemesis or something.
The reality is all those women “protecting” other women by deciding who men can date are just trying to make the market less competitive. Nothing else, really.
Self-interest rules all in humans. Women are no exception.
Spread
I’ve been seeing a lot of doofs lately claiming that some study proves the Dunning-Kruger Effect isn’t real.
Just as with generational differences, of course it’s real. It’s just not easy to capture in your little science spreadsheets. There is a difference.
Beast Mode
I’d never take steroids, but if I got this muscular completely naturally I’d be a fuckin’ beast on ‘roids.
Not even tempting; just an amusing thought.
Euphemism Schism
“Justice-affected.”
That’s a criminal. He did some crimes.
Law Your
That’s right.
I’ll be polite, but I will not self-incriminate. Don’t talk to the police. They are not here to help. Lawyer always. Anything else is just actin’ a fool.
Freak In
Realized she was a complete Jesus freak after talking to her for a bit. She seemed cute and normal at work…but basically only talked about Jesus and her cat outside of the office.
Canceled that date.
