So I am running around the house trying to get things ready for when our house guests arrive next Wednesday and I see a UPS truck pull up. Provisions from my bay area friend "The Tall Man". Many thanks!

I hope Mama Africa does not disappoint such an exalted American palate! If so, it’s probably your fault anyway because of colonialism or imperialism or whatever. So there.

I am always appreciative of great wine and the best part is that I can use the byproduct to help extinguish the brush fires as they are still raging on the horizon I can see and that is a good thing that I can see anything after all the Syrah I have consumed tonight because I had to cancel a important business meeting I had scheduled at Nobu in Malibu which was especially nice because I could pick the wine and someone else was picking up the tab so that is a good example of first world problems I am grateful to have

Stream of consciousness FTW.

Me.

Leaving aside any dubious benefits of this passing, about 80% or so of America doesn't actually want this (iirc). Correct me if I'm wrong, but willfully passing regulation that most of your voter base doesn't want you to pass sounds awfully like governing without the consent of the governed. At this point I consider the FCC a rogue organization operating against the will and well-being of the people, though the same can be said about an awful lot of the US government lately. I'll give our government one thing though, it sure has increased transparency. As in, its mean-spirited, money-grabbing, lobbyist-pleasing motives have never been more transparent. They're setting themselves up for a reckoning... I think. Or I hope?

So this is not at all what I was expecting: it's a Unisonic with a 14k bezel! It's currently riding on a JB Champion two-tone bracelet, which is rather fitting. I have no idea if my watchmaker can service this, the early electric watches being... quirky. I definitely want to get it up and running. It has an inscription on the back, with my father's name. I'd show a picture of that, but it also has his SSN (a common enough thing at a certain point in time, I think). What an interesting watch for a man in his early 20s to have bought. The unexpectedness makes having it all the more special for me.

It can be two things.

Orphan Black. Watching the first season on Amazon. Great start, and I heard it just gets better.

I ...cannot be arsed to dig out my Otrari at this juncture, I did quick GIS and mine is this model or something similar: "5050" sounds familiar. I estimate it's from the mid 1980s.

I don't think you are even in the same category as HPA. At least for dumb shit that is not trying to be humorous.

I think my record for posting dumb shit is fairly unbreakable.

Oh Well, ...

So I just priced out the iMac Pro I would buy for work and it came out to $11,400 and change. Think I will wait a bit.
