Nobody's COVID's that long, not even Long COVID Johnson, and he had some fucking long COVID.

Hence the name.

...and it occurs to me that "weft drive" makes a perfect umbrella term for all those drives, like stutterwarps, that rely on dipping in and out of fittle/realspace.

My lovely wife and editor sent me this meme...

The beacons of kitchen! The beacons are lit!

(First stage of project: rewire attic is successful.)

Just think, I could have been spending my life in sin and misery, at the House of the Rising Sun.

I am entirely willing to countenance taxation of unrealized gains provided that we apply it universally.

Everyone must pay income tax, etc., based on the lifestyle they could theoretically have if they optimized their life for maximum economic efficiency.

After all, they *could* do that at any time, and we've already established the principle that gains you didn't choose to make at any given moment are still taxable.

(I am very smart, but I am also very cruel.)

If there is any truth to these "Chinese strategic rockets filled with water" rumors, it leads one to some very interesting questions.

Like "where do you go to fence a tanker truck full of red fuming nitric acid?" and, perhaps more importantly, on which black market can I buy it?

I've got to tell you, folks, I'm supporting Vivec in 2024.

Not the Republican. The hermaphroditic Chimer warrior-poet high on Lorkhan. That's who will not only make American great again, but protect us all from the Empire's expansionism and the depredations of Dagoth Ur.

As of this morning I have been disinherited twice.

Achievement fucking unlocked.

“It looks like you’re writing new values on new tablets. Would you like help with that?”

Them: "No, where are you really from?"

Me: "Well, between the years when the oceans drank Atlantis, and the rise of the sons of Aryas, there was an age undreamed of..."

Anyone know if there’s a way to get a custom root certificate onto an #XboxOne? I’d prefer to not leave insecure access to my local #Plex server available.

When you move to the cloud you migrate a container to AWS.

When I move to the cloud I upload my mind-state to the Dyson swarm.

We are not the same.

(In fairness, both result in impoverishing the masses and massive wealth transfers to the Supreme Leader and his inner circle.)

It turns out that when someone talks about their desire and intention to spread MLM to the world, you have to read *real close* to figure out if they’re a genuine pyramid scheme enthusiast or just a tankie.

Also

"US Navy says they don't have enough warships"

THIS IS THE NAVY THAT ONCE HAD A SPECIALIZED ICE-CREAM MAKING SHIP.

"US Navy says they don’t have enough warships to start Operation Prosperity Garden"

What. The Fuck. Are We. Spending. Nearly, A Trillion. Dollars. Annually. On?

(Apparently not the ability for the mighty American military-industrial complex to successfully beat up some scabby-ass pirates.)

Things there need to be words for, #n:

The unsatisfiable need for a fictional universe to be real so that you can do science to it.
