It's two hours after the family's return from a week-long New Year's vacation. In thhat time, I've cleaned dog pee off the floor, both kids have had meltdowns and the entire contents of a jelly jar has filled a refrigerator shelf.

Ahh... Home Sweet Home...



You know, if I were Canada right now, I'd be mining the border with the US, and buying a whole lot of surface to air missiles...




IRC Chat


Honestly, IRC is the most fun I’ve had online. Simple, fast, and no-nonsense. I’ve been using it for about 4-5

months now, mainly connecting to Libera.Chat.

I personally prefer using WeeChat because I enjoy the terminal-based workflow, but there are plenty of other great clients like Irssi or HexChat depending on your style. It’s a great way to find focused communities.

Tried to get my wife interested. She sat through the pilot and didn't want to see more. :neocat_cry:


Yeah, and quit forking around with U.S. politics--you and your money both. GTFO


Who wouldn't want to live somewhere else?

What's going to happen when Americans lose their retirement savings in the USA stock market after billionaires cash out





I've been celebrating the #NewYear most of the day with the broadcast from Vienna, with a lot of #Strauss. I catch it on the radio first because at least #NPR doesn't ruin the second finale, which is the Radetzky March, while #PBS craps on it every time with rolling credits and infernal announcements.

Of course the only way to catch the visuals and historical context is to view it on PBS later in the day...however...the ballet pieces left a lot to be desired this year so I hope they change choreographer. What's with this strewn 8 1/2 by 11 papers all over the place??? Couldn't you find silk roses to toss around with the Roses From The South Waltz? Doing that with the Diplomat Waltz made sense after a fashion, but it was definitely overdone. To think you killed a tree for that.

No No No No, I can't take it no more
I'm tired of waking up on the floor.
No thank you, please, it only makes me wheeze
And then it makes it hard to shop in store
