Funnily enough, that’s how we got to that- several of us going out to lunch, I was driving, so my music, and one of the Weird Al polkas was playing, and he was asking who it was … even my kids have heard of Weird Al so me and the other old farts are trying to figure out if he’s messing with us or really didn’t know… So we were listing off Weird Al’s works, and UHF came up, we described the plot, he asked if UHF meant something in the context of a TV station, and that’s when we old farts crumbled into dust.

My (soon to be ex-) wife buys large quantities of bottled water… One of many things about her I found irksome over the years, I went to the trouble of putting in an RO filter under the sink… and she was always so vocal about recycling… What’s better than recycling? Not buying tons of plastic in the first place…

I mentioned UHF to one of my (younger) coworkers, and he had no idea what that meant…

And you try to tell the young people of today that, they won’t believe you.

How I feel about my (soon to be ex-) wife…

Credit unions are basically socialist organizations, at least they’re about as close as you can get within capitalism…

I use EAC but no idea if it’s available for Linux… I think it’s open source so seems like it should be, but can’t be arsed to Google it right now…

I did my best to explain slavery to my daughter when she was 6 because due to COVID, we were basically home schooling her…

never understand GIT as a single developer.

I use it to make it easier to work on stuff from my desktop, laptop, from windows or from Linux…

Yeah once they’re out of the womb, fuck 'em. We only care about the unborn.

8.1 was ok. Fight me.

Funny, I felt the same way about my wife, but she surprised me in the end…

That’s about the time I started building my MP4 collection… Which is up to at least 2TB by now, if not 3…

I did not. But many years ago I had a girlfriend who named mine Roy, as in Orbison. Can’t for the life of me remember why… She liked to have long talks with Roy, but he was quite deaf, had to get right up in there to hear anything…

And of course my wife picked now to get divorced…

Same with MLK- the status quo knew it was losing, so chose to lose to him rather than Malcolm X…

BC and AD are separate numbering schemes- so just because there is no year 0 defined doesn’t mean you can’t extrapolate - 0 AD is the same as 1 BC, and you’ll have -1 AD which is equivalent to 2 BC and so forth…

I have a 2005 car, but I don’t burn CDs. I plug my phone into a cassette adapter.

You are misusing “intrusive thoughts” much the same way people who like a clean house misuse “OCD”. Intrusive thoughts are not something you’d be ok doing were it not for social pressures. Intrusive thoughts are things you don’t want to think about, but pop into your head anyway, like steering your car into oncoming traffic, or punching your grandma.

Fruit of the poison tree…
