Woke up to a pretty coating of snow. Enough to look at.

Only a scruffy-looking nerf herder would play new content without a spoiler warning.
But it's been live since Tuesday and I'm yet to look.

And yes, while it gives me a battery warning, it still works.

I've been a proponent of 2FA for so long that this was how it used to be done. The original mobile authenticators.

The GOP should be forced to carry Kevin McCarthy to term.

2 for 2 on critical tasks and only 2 hours into my work day. May not need to spend the whole day on site, but still planning to do so. I'm here already.

One cup of coffee into my day, and I've already fixed one of 2 significant issues here. This one is about data integrity so IMO the more important one. Never make scientists nervous about data loss.

The other issue seems to be more complex, and may need other people involved. This is just about equipment access. While important is less of an emergency.

More diagnostics after more coffee.

Standing against the extremists in her party does not make Liz Cheney a good person. It's the bare minimum for being human. We should never put doing the bare minimum as the standard for who should be doing anything in politics.

The urge to sing along with "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" is just a whim away.

"Conversational Snow"
Whelp, that's my morning weather report.

Not today, but later this week. We'll see what that actually means.

One way to make sure I stop buying your product is to keep spamming my inbox with things like "we're not sure you saw this..."

I have in mind a question I'm going to ask any professional looking to do any work for me:

"Have you at any time, in the capacity of your job, engaged in deliberately dishonest, shady, or illegal activity, either on your own decision or at the request of a supervisor?"

Pretty sure the reason so many R's voted to oust Santos is that he committed the worst sin. He stole from WITHIN their ranks. He did it to the people who were right there to boot his sorry a$$ out the door. Had he not gone that far, he probably would still be in office.

Just so you all know where the line really is with them.

Telling your advertisers to "go F*** yourselves" after they leave is a great way to confirm they made the right choice by leaving in the first place.

Let's have a mash-up now, shall we?

While the US House considers expelling Santos, remember how the GOP loves to protect their own even when they know they are wrong.
