So not only are they responsible for the death of someone who didn’t need to die, they are also responsible for the trauma of the driver who killed the person.

This is awful…

And I can’t stop laughing

My answer may not quite fit the topic. But I’ll share anyway.

In the late 20-teens, ZZ Top and John Fogerty we’re touring together. My wife and I saw them on the Jersey Shore (thanks VetTix!) and Fogerty opened the show and absolutely killed it. Then ZZ Top played and Billy Gibbons just didn’t have it anymore. We left early.

Several weeks later they played Jones Beach Amphitheatre and thanks to VetTix we got to go again. Once again Fogerty knocked it out of the park and Billy was just not up to snuff.

It was sad.

Interestingly, Billy Gibbons is featured on one of the tracks of Slash’s new album Orgy of the Damned. That track is the perfect fit for Gibbons and it holds together beautifully.

That is a fantastic ride! Growing up my mom has a white Galaxies 500 with blue interior. It was an amazing car.

Hello ramble81, I am calling to check if your refrigerator is running… It is? Oh my goodness you better run faster and catch it!

The police are not here to protect you! A bunch of fucking cowards.

What a lovely post. Thank you for sharing it.

I’m 60 years old, my father passed many years ago. I have still not come to grips with all the complexities of our relationship. My wife knows that if we ever see a film or TV show where a parent, but particularly a father shows any form of approval for something their son did, I will turn into a blubbering mess.

That said, more rational me knows that there were many ways in which my father was a good dad, if am willing to take the time to look for them.

I have three sons and a daughter, my greatest hope in life is that they won’t have the same issues with me as a father that I did with my own dad.

Thanks again for this amazing story about how even small things we do can have a great impact, and not necessarily on those we expect them to.

Hardcover on the bookshelf that will never get read. Ebook on the Kindle.

Very kind of you. Thank you.

I’m well aware, I’m also not convinced about the efficacy of the vaccine.

First COVID Feb 2020. Vaxxed May 2020 Second COVID July 2020

The right told me herd immunity would protect me. They were wrong. The left told me the vax world protect me. They too were wrong.

In December I got COVID for the 4th time. Yes I’m vaxxed. No I’m not boosted.

Prior to this bout I was working out 30 minutes a day. Since this bout I can barely climb a flight if stairs without getting winded.

It really sucks.

I got to see Snoop and Wiz Khalifa at the Jones Beach Amphitheatre in 2016 or 17 (thanks to VetTix).

I was one of the oldest people there and still thought it was fucking amazing.

I’ve been on my project for 23 years. I haven’t written production code for ten of those years. There are still commits in the production branch with my name on them. Is both gratifying and mortifying.

I was talking with two other “old-timers” today about our inability to pay off tech debt because our teams are never given the time to do it

I really want to move my domain from Google to Proton, but family accounts at Proton are so dang expensive. Fastmail is far cheaper than Google, so that looks like it might be a really good option.

My oldest and (he’s 31 today) have copies of this on our office walls https://kagi.com/proxy/2434767_orig.png?c=Ux_Oi49zwrz_XQu8syTDi7pdjUAc4KO_wcuIYxcLBYVVdaF_ts2tNMrrB1335mt_48KAUH2poQelymJ7a7PDGRjG4y4c-aoE0yr1F9vp67s7qwBYQtyX4UprxCe0g5r5

My best gaming time ever is when my sons and I make up a 4-man fire team in any game.

I love this so much!

I was 9 or 10 3 first time I saw a Pong arcade machine in a hotel in San Diego.

61 in about 3 weeks. I’m older than Pong, and I game every day.

You might want to actually go read Article 25 if you believe there would be a Republican controlled shit-show.

Republicans have no say under section 1. President Biden says “I’m out” and Vice President Harris becomes President. Congress has no say, the Senate had no say, nobody has any say but the President and the Vice President.

The President could give a reason, or he could choose not to do so.

The only time Congress is involved is under Section 4.

Section 1 covers everything from “Take this job and shove it” to “I’m tired and want to spend more time with my family”

I repeat Congress has no say. There is no political debate. There is simply “I’m out, you’re in.”

Absolutely correct.
