There's a "Is he dead yet?" Winny the Pooh meme going around for The Great Orange One. It could apply here as well.

I keep telling my less technical friends that the cloud is just someone else's computer.

At least it gave you warning. I woke up to the 4TB WD gold drive being a brick. Doesn't show up on Linux or MacOS. The electronics are dead. No SMART warnings. Nothing. Don't think I'm buying another of these things. And the price went up (of course).

So? I use Duck Duck Go anyway.

I wonder if anyone in the Badminstration, specifically the Department of Agriculture, have thought about all the crops that will go unharvested in the fields starting around August because migrants won't go out to pick them for fear of being deported by ICE.

I have long fantasized about doing this exact same thing, especially to MAGA-types who somehow got my address and are mailing me requests for donations. Someone in those groups as well as THE SALVATION ARMY have discovered that those postage guaranteed reply envelopes cost money and prompt this response. So now all that stuff requires a stamp if you want to reply. I hope that's cut down on their fundraising efforts.

Anything invented before you were eighteen was there all along. Anything invented before you’re thirty is exciting and will change the world forever. Anything invented after that is an abomination and should be banned. -- Mark Twain

Love that dad has a Caffeine coffee cup.

Yep. I've joined the buycot for Lent. I put off all purchases there until after Easter and Passover are over.

When I make Scampi, I use the shells to make a shrimp stock to cook the shrimp and butter. Broiling jumbo shrimp with Bay's Seasoning in the shell means I take the shell off before eating it.

Which reminds me of the new hire who was touring our newly installed data center.

"Wow. What great racks!" she said on entering the data center.

When that bicycle rider flipped off Trump's motorcade during his first Badministration, the social media blowback got her fired from her job. She ran for Congress and won.

I hope this woman has a similar outcome.

Side query: I wonder if anyone in Child Protective Services is investigating Melon Husk's home environment for his kids. He's an resident alien who lied on his immigration paperwork and could be subject to deportation.
