We need to ask for the long-form Epstein Files.

I think it’s a reference to Clinton’s famous quote to a grand jury when grilled on why he said “No” when asked if there was a sexuality relationship between him and Lewinklsky.

“It depends on what the meaning of the word ‘is’ is. If the—if he—if ‘is’ means is and never has been, that is not—that is one thing. If it means there is none, that was a completely true statement. … Now, if someone had asked me on that day, are you having any kind of sexual relations with Ms. Lewinsky, that is, asked me a question in the present tense, I would have said no. And it would have been completely true.”

Taco Bell is kinda its own genre of food. I’ve never wanted Mexican food and decided “close enough” with Taco Bell.

But I’ve absolutely bought Taco Bell because I was in the mood for Taco Bell.

True enough.

I’m spoiled in GIS with QGIS. I’ve been using it professionally for years.

In all fairness…GIMP cannot do that.

Of all the FOSS software I’ve used, GIMP is by far the furthest behind the commercial competitor. Adobe sucks ass in a lot of ways, but Photoshop and Lightroom are amazing products.

I do prefer Inkscape to Illustrator in a lot of cases. Especially with SVG support. Illustrator actually kinda sucks at importing SVG files.

That story is just so full of awful.

Useless, evil war, IEDs, combat wounds, beaureuacratic fuckups, PTSD, random gun violence, and more.

When my parents got married in the 70s, somebody didn’t know my dad’s name and wanted to send a letter to my mom, so they mailed a letter to “Susie and her new husband, [City],[State]”.

They got the letter.

Good thing the social media, video streaming, and news platforms aren’t owned by billionaires that are bending the knee to fascism, right?

But you still have to know about it.

Whereas the Steam Maclhine - like a Playstation, Xbox, or Nintendo - just plugs into the TV and works.

Plug in the power, run the HDMI cable to the and log into the wifi after powering it on.

It may not he for you, but there’s a huge potential audience. Somebody who is used to the console experience and wants that simplicity for playing on the couch, but wants access to PC gaming platforms like Steam.

I like tinkering with my PC, but a lot of people don’t. They like consoles because they can pick up the controller, push a button, and it powers on and works, and they never have to worry if a game will run. If it’s released on the console, it should work.

Yeah, there’s 1001 ways to get a PC running on the TV, but none of them are as dumb-simple as turning on an Xbox. This device solves that issue.

I always thought of her as a treasure hunter more than an archeologist.

We had awful chalk-based bread growing up.

But always Welch’s Grape Juice, since we were Methodist. Charles Welch invented pasteurized grape juice specifically for his Methodist congregation to have an alcohol-free communion wine.

The series was a solidly decent story, but the production was spectacular. The practical puppet effects are mind-boggling.

I think the worst part is that the Vice President openly defended them.

Yes, but also make it clear why you are leaving. And as dirty as it feels, don’t tell them their actions are irredeemable and they’ve lost you for life.

If you tell them you’ll never come back no matter what, then they no longer have to care about your opinion. You’re essentially telling them that they should start catering more-heavily to the fascists now that the only potential customers don’t mind them bending the knee.
