LinkedIn is the least spammy place to look for a job that I’ve seen. Every other site I’ve tried has quickly degraded into offering sleazy work from home jobs writing reviews.

The other use I have for it is to see what the companies I still have left over options in are up to.

Unless you are buying pralines in New Orleans or Savannah, neither pecans nor walnuts belong in sweets. Walnuts should be enjoyed straight, and pecans should be shipped to Savannah.

The problem is what do you do when that money is ownership of a company. Suddenly the company has to be sold quickly, which is usually bad for everyone involved.

One of the first things they taught me as a Naval Officer is not to follow illegal orders. We were specifically told about MyLai, and how they went to jail for it.

Sadly, this is something Obama deserves some of the blame. He also claimed the same right the way he used drone strikes.

I’m reading Popehat’s feed, and I want to answer with a crack about how 5 Supreme Court justices could make all the reasonable posts no longer true. I think I should go to sleep instead.

He only has to convince 5 judges in the Supreme Court, and all bets are off.

The last time I had a woman as a “wingman”, she was so convinced that every woman should be into me that I spent all my time giving my number to women who were never going to call me back. And ended up in toxic relationships, one of which was even life threatening.

I guess that explains why I liked them. I used to love all the flavors of “licorice” they used to have in the candy store, like chocolate.

I know it probably means I’m old, but every time I see this I see “Looking for Group”, and I get confused. I am excited to see what this detector finds, though.

LFG, you coward!

Reminds me of the joke where someone claims to have stolen the top secret LISP code. To prove it, there share the last page. Which is 50 closing parentheses.

Funny, my cat does the opposite. She will sit and bawl me out until she gets the whole scoop the vet says she is entitled to, no matter how much food is left in the bowl.

I hate to agree with them, but it was a terrible logo. Looked like a wannabe hipster Dennys.

I can safely say the families who had to flee Vietnam did not consider the Fall of Saigon a negotiation either.

I suspect the platforms are just trying to be able to claim to “protect the children”. Once they’ve done the basics, they just wash their hands of it.

I hate to say it, but I wish doctors would say it more. I was talking someone with a family member with pancreatic cancer, and the only treatments with any hope are all experiment studies because there’s no proven cure yet.

My Dad bought a second TV, with sound going to wireless headphones, to solve this very problem. Their 60th is coming soon, so I guess it works.

It’s an arrest. In any other state, it would false arrest, but who can tell in Texas.

My teenage daughter found cheap ear buds that are the same form factor as hearing aids. They stay in her ear better than the Apple ear buds. Maybe teenagers using something that looks the same will help make them cool.

I remember reading 2 “conflicting” studies about living with stairs. People who lived in houses with stairs stay mobile longer, but die earlier. I suspect the trick is move to a single story place as soon as you are unstable on your feet. But that’s hard to get right.

At least you show up. In my dream, I’m naked and can’t find the right classroom.

At the time, the idea of gender neutral bathrooms in Asimov’s books was more shocking. With the way things are going now, I can’t tell if he was right or not.

What amazes me is how many non technical people are using ChatGPT in their daily lives. It’s very different from the adoption curve I’m used to.

If we actually wanted to save lives, suboxone should be available without a prescription.
