Soon I too will have a machine w/the huevos to make it necessary to assure fellow zoom participants that I am not, in fact, a cat.

Ordered.

Oddly, it comes with a mouse, but not a keyboard (neither of which I need).

Wait no--found it! It's this guy: https://www.dell.com/en-us/work/shop/desktops-all-in-one-pcs/vostro-5880-desktop/spd/vostro-5880-desktop/cav5880w10ph03b7

Coupon code DBPRDT1 brings it down to $699.

Salesdude takes my phone # & says he'll consult w/manager & get back to me.

"If I can't get that price, do you want me to call? Do you still want the system?"

Uh, no, that feels like a false advertisement situation that I probably shouldn't reward.

Full page Dell ad in today's paper. Can't find it on the website so i call sales. They can't find it either.

This morning's elliptical machine viewing was the beginning of _I Am Not Your Negro_, which featured old footage of people like these here, w/signs proclaiming that integration was communism.

One of the most astounding things about this is how racists are running the same damn playbook for coming on 60 years now.

Reading the newspaper this morning I happened on a Dell ad for a "doorbuster" President's day sale today on an old-timey desktop computer that looks pretty good. (Vostro for ~$700). Seems fitting that I'd learn about a deal on an "old man box" from print media.

(deal starts at 3pm Eastern BTW)

Whoo! Seth bringing the 🔥 as usual.
