That makes me feel a bit better, because I also enjoyed them at the NY meet.

There will still be a proper, expandable tower Mac Pro coming later, apparently. HomePod I'm just not sure about. Going to stick to Sonos for the moment for distributed audio. Maybe as the assistant portion of the thing matures?

Well that's a bummer.

Ooh. iMac Pro incoming I think.

Dinosaur Jr. -- Green Mind

I will try to keep everyone entertained by immediately crashing whatever I do end up with.

A great anecdote in the paper about Douglas Bader, the double-amputee English WWII fighter ace.

My wife had actually mentioned the Peloton previously as something she might be keen on, so that's easy because it doesn't go against my account. One commuter ebike for grocery/beer runs -- it's a big fucking hill and you don't always want to sweat bullets. Seems to leave room for one non-cheater XC bike.

Bleachers -- Gone Now Pretty terrific if you like intelligent cheese.

What's up with fatties, are they just a fad? Asking as one ...

Roger Waters -- Is This The Life We Really Want? Oh fuck me yes. Where have you been for 25 years dude?

Ordered.

I think we should depart from the assumption that I don't know what I'm talking about at all.

So you're saying I might need more than one bike? Never saw that coming!

Know bugger all about basketball, but can't wait to be a bandwagon fan. Tally ho Golden State! Keep on showing those other chaps what's what, what.

Know this is opening up a can of worms but I kinda want to buy a mountain bike and could use some advice. Will be living at the top of a big-ass hill, so going to be climbing that on the regular. Lots of fire roads/jeep track nearby. Too old and scaredy for stupid trails or hectic downhill. Thoughts?

I would know. It's like indie gaydar.

Lot of sad news here on HC recently. Made me want to listen to one of my personal favorite reflections on mortality and what's really worth living for*. (Sorry, sounds very pretentious. Not meant to be.) (* Big surprise. It's love!)

The Charlatans -- Modern Nature

You should be nicer to Brent. We could make some good money off him. Just need a biscuit ...

EAT. THE FUCKING PIZZA, BOB. OR YOUR CHOICES. ARE GONNA. GET. REEEEEAL LIMITED!

Hmm, fresh beer and sous vide ... https://www.picobrew.com/store/products/Pico

Happy Birthday!

If we're doing 1979 I think this has to be next ...
