All I want is 5 minutes with the heads of Chrome and GoDaddy to talk about SSL certs. Get your shit together, people. These g2 intermediary certs don't fucking work!

Mostly books that have worn out from multiple reads, and almost all of my current CDs . I went fully digital a few years ago and recently realized that was A Mistake, so I'm rebuilding the audio library.

Name physical media you purchased more than once.

Now for RUSH, we go back a couple years earlier to Seth, my oldest stepbrother's best friend and a certified (certifiable?) genius. If he had grown up in SoCal he would have ended up at JPL building rocket engines, but coming from rural Oregon he turned his mind to cars and engine design instead.

Rush - Exit Stage Left ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ #Music #MusicSky #Vinyl #VinylSky #VinylCommunity #VinylCollectors #VinylRecords #NowPlaying #NowSpinning

Okay, I'll jump in Introduce yourself with five songs: Rush - Working Man Seatbelts - 7 Minutes AC/DC - Back In Black Queen - Can't Stop Me Now Led Zeppelin - Ramble On Hard to narrow it back down to songs, I've spent the last couple months listening to albums all the way through.

Introduce yourself with five songs. Battle Tapes - If Only Genesis - Firth of Fifth KOTOKO - DRIVE Pet Shop Boys - Integral VNV Nation - Testament (As a sampler of my musical tastes, at least, this'll do. Ask tomorrow, get a different list...)

Neighbors begged us for some wifi access while they sort some bills, and now they're streaming TV too loud after 11pm after not doing that for months. And now here I am looking at the settings of my router's guest network contemplating shenanigans...

Shoutout to whatever genius decided that in DnD 2024 the best thing to give the Elementalist Monk at 6th level was "Fireball, But With Options". 20' Burst in 120' range, 3 x Martial Arts die damage in 1 of 5 flavors, DEX save for half. Costs 2 Focus Points. 'Cuz sometimes, ya just gotta blast 'em.

Favorite Sophie Devereaux in action moment: tricks the mark into telling a delivery agent to hand a painting over to Sophie. Personal experience: walked in the back door of a casino with my tool box on a hand truck while waving to the guard, who didn't know me from Adam in a tee-shirt and jeans.

WIP: take two on the right-hand panel, the first attempt was a tad sloppy so I used it as a dye test, and boy oh boy did my use of Resolene as a resist work poorly - terrible coverage. I redid the right panel much cleaner, and put the FIRST coat of Resolene on that, plus a SECOND on the left.

DnD tonight: Pulled off a jailbreak with remarkably little drama due to combination of 'Pass Without trace' and 'Invisibility' spells. Unfortunately the ambush on our escape route was exceedingly proficient... 1/2

... and I took an arrow from an assassin - between a Nat 20, Sneak Attack, and friggin' Poison damage, it hit for 73HP. I deflected 11 points with Dope Monk Shit, but had to eat the remaining 62. I had 33HP to start. Luckily! the Cleric had revivify and the DM is relaxed for spell components.

More people need to be spreading this, so I'll do my part. Please take the time to watch this and pass it along. I know that everything around you is screaming for action, but if we want to really trip up the Chump, we need to keep it civil. Watch. Make videos. Report.

Everything Trump is doing now is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act. I don’t want to unduly alarm you, but you need to be aware of this imminent danger. Let me explain what’s going on.

PSA for motorcyclists: don't split lanes to pass a Tesla. With a lot of cars, you can get past before they know you are there, but the Tesla cameras will spot you as you pass and may or may not react depending on what Elon's smoking this week.

Autopilot is the most un-predictable at 5MPH or less. I have had mine suddenly steer one way or the other for no reason if we're just creeping forward. And motherfucker, you should NOT be splitting lanes when traffic is rolling at 30MPH! Psycho.

Waaaay too true for tonight's game! Even at 3rd level it seems I step into a fight, smack something once or twice and then take one hit that drops me to 1 or 2 HP, then a second one that drops me in the dirt. Gotta boost my DEX for AC bonus...

It's a Dicey DORK TOWER FRIDAY! Loving new comic up now, at the Mothership! www.dorktower.com/2025/05/07/d... Repost/Reblog/Repeat, please and thank you so much!

To truly experience the Uncanny Valley in a safe way, get a loaner car same model as daily driver. Everything is just subtly... wrong. Truly crappy audio out of same hardware. Couldn't for the life of me figure out why it was so bad unless someone had blown out a speaker partially.

Results of vehicle-repair shenanigans: Car: faulty trailer wiring harness fixed under warranty Motorcycle: tires need to be replaced, leaky thermostat housing, and general tune-up: $1350 Daaaaaang

Ok, the theory of public wifi is that it is safe. As an IT guy that handles a lot of small businesses, I can tell you for a fact that before I took over managing their network, their public wifi was NOT safe. Your assumption is that it is being managed by trained ppl in good faith. It is not.

Wifi at the concert / sports arena, or other large venue: generally trustworthy. Wifi at the indie coffee shop, or bakery, or other tiny venue where everything was set up by an amateur that probably never changed the default admin password on the router and used all the default settings? Maybe not

And with the FBI's recent advice that everyone should be using encrypted comms because Chinese hackers pwned USA telco infrastructure, if the effing "we need backdoors into your secure app" FED is telling us to be careful, well, I for one am paying attention.

I sometimes wonder about my own DNA. I too am rarely sick and no broken bones, and my brother and my son have both proven impervious to being whacked in the skull by bar glass.

I was told by 23&Me that I have a higher percentage of Neanderthal 🧬 than most of the population. Hubby teased me. The only bones I’ve broken are toes and I rarely get sick. Hubby is sick all the time, has none. I told him that 🧬 is a +3 buff to constitution and it’s okay to be jealous.
