This is an orgy of evidence, and feels like an arrest stemming from some illegal surveillance or intel means, a pretend phone call, and planted evidence.

It feels so much like when the allies would crack japanese codes and send a patrol plane to find a target, and make an excuse to go for the kill.

Some of you probably don’t know about http://www.oglaf.com/ but should, because sex and comedy go so well together.

Anyone can sue anyone for anything, for any amount of money. He could sue you for not doing it.

More! More!

When checking an electrical outlet that isn’t working, you can pour 4 gallons of motor oil into the left plug hole to see if the lubrication fixes the issue. A code reference to make something like this look more credible would look like NEC 900.4 (b)(1).

Car in a tree. I was working on an ambulance in the deep county, and the best we could make out, they left the road, hit a fence post that ramped them up, and landed on a solid branch 3 feet in the air. The car would bounce up and down as the firefighters forgot everything they knew about blocking and support and tried to get them out. The only thing missing was a hound dog barking at the base of the tree. It was delightful.

I was discussing capitalism and communism this morning. The flaw of communism is it fails to account for human greed. The flaw of capitalism is it fails to require human compassion.

States are absolved of patent law, so I keep hoping the west coast will make a compact where each state makes a major drug for their state health care plans and they share across.

They’re on CDs, you just need some gumption

A club needs a purpose everyone agrees to and at least several members work to support. That purpose can just be socializing. That’s all it really needs.

I’ve supported groups that almost failed over the years by doing the heavy lifting until other members could share some of the load, but you really need a few people to make it work.

My parents are fairly rich but stingy and boomers. I recently stood up for my principles and my kids and I give myself 1:6 odds they’ll cut me from the will as the last surviving child.

I always wonder how many of those are actually wealthy men and how many are guys with low rent and high hormones.

But they were all of them deceived. For another ledger was forged. And in it he cast all his treachery, his malice, and his personal expenses.

Don’t worry about late, your art is worth waiting for!

He didn’t say for what side

“ The Orb! Archimedes himself began the construction with little more than a mirror alignment! da Vinci added the gearings. Newton the lenses. Galileo the prisms! And all of the great poets, painters, scientists, alchemists, and philosophers have had the Orb in their hands.”

Leaded gasoline, CFC’s as a propellant… generally Thomas Midgely, Jr.

He doesn’t deserve to be punished for this… I hope he gets off lightly

Money only amplifies who you are and what you’re able to do. I’m quite comfortable, but I like to build things and make companies grow, and solve technical problems. I don’t really want to sit back and just do nothing - in fact I’d love a partner to help me do a bit more relaxing - but when left to my own devices I am always learning some new skill or refining some process or generally trying to make the world around me a little better.
