Looks down at his second-hand, 13 year old HP 5309U product code GM321AA and thinks "Damn dude. Sure my keyboard has nine keys that are worn so much that most are missing the print on them. And sure, it’s not a mechanical keyboard. But I didn’t have to spend a dime for it and it’s still working just fine for me.

The Quest (2014). It was a random find on Netflix many years ago. My friend and I checked it out and ended up getting into it. We ended up watching 2-3 episodes back to back. It’s one of my all time favorite ‘different’ TV shows.

“Fantasy meets reality as 12 contestants engage in epic challenges in the world of “Everealm”, and compete to avoid “banishment” in order to become the one true hero that will save the kingdom.”

There are so many great episodes to choose from, but Granddad’s Fight (s1 e4) is still one of my all time favorite TV show episodes.

I would have loved to have seen them produce 3-4 more seasons. After that, I think it would have run its course as a coming of age show.

I recommend you check out Tempest Rising.

The bigger joke is that (IIRC) all of the latest CoD games require a consistent internet connection to verify that you actually purchased the rights to the video game. Even if you’re playing offline.

I currently have tasks qued/being worked on, from World Community Grid, yoyo@home, and Rosetta@home.

I just started running tasks for yoyo[@home, and by golly. These tasks are freaking HUGE! The shortest task estimate is 2 days, and 18 hours.

Rosetta@home offered up tasks that took me more than a day for most, to be completed.

World Community Grid has been the best in completing tasks and not taking more than a day to finish. The longest estimated time to completion has been under 9 hours.

That’s a good question.

From what I’ve gathered from my recent experience of running tasks, the project might have started years ago, but they are still offering tasks to be completed.

That’s some old fashion ‘us versus them,’ kinda thinking.

How do these lists make you a likely target for scam calls?

You got this!

I wouldn’t be surprised if Vladimir Putin’s armies weren’t occupying large swaths of Eastern Europe by the end of this term.

And Russia will use, what? Tanks from the Cold War?! There have been many reports from professional defense intel groups and countries that report that Russia has been struggling to keep fighting the invasion of Ukraine. They’ve had to resort to asking North Korea to send thousands of troops to fight in Ukraine. With the weapons that the EU, Australia, Britain, and the US have been sending them, Russia is going to have a tremendously difficult time fighting back. Let alone, invading another country.

There’s a theory going around that China might take action and ‘take back’ what they claim to have been their territory from the early 1800s. Either they capture Serbia as a whole, southern Serbia, or a large portion of Eastern Russia. Which might look like the northern point of Lake Baikal to Uda Gulf or the push further and take Taul Bay. The southern part of the Kamchatka peninsula would be advantageous to them. The US and others would have a harder time “controlling” China’s fleet of ships if they had ports and bases up there as well.

I can only hold onto fool’s faith for so long, that the world doesn’t experience another major war.

I hope you’re right.

Sexism and it makes it seem like it’s just one person vs a group of people. By that I mean, that your family is a group of people.

As if the majority had a fucking choice.

And move where?!

I’m all for this.

I’ve become more accepting as to where I am in my life.

More often, I’ve been recalling the quote from Christine Mason Miller. “At any given moment, you have the power to say: this is not how the story is going to end.”
