The only military that need to be in D.C are the Sentinels at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Oh wait, that’s in Arlington.

Never mind.

I found that you can “Reduce Transparency” in the Accesibility settings; it seems to work in all apps.

Wait, we can turn it off? *heads to Settings*

I learned early on that the CHEAPEST part of a photo shoot is the film.

This is inside Frogner Park, if memory serves me. A wonderful place. One of the things I remember about it (besides the mind-boggling sculptures) is the “warme polse” (“hot sausage”) carts with the most delicious sossidge-inna-bun I’ve ever had.

How much is that in Liz Trusses?

Just hack your TVs governor module!

I *might* be safe, though, since I’m about as white as one can be (germs from France, England, Wales and Denmark). Not proud, not ashamed, just there it is.

Even though my paternal ancestors came to he USA before there *WAS* a USA (1697), and my maternal ancestors are US citizens three generations back, I could be in trouble. I was born while my father was deployed to Germany in the aftermath of WW2. So I have a German birth certificate. Uh-oh.

Once I read a book by a favorite author’s pen name and didn’t like it. I told them so, and their response was the same: Not everything is for everybody. I still read the other books!

Yeah. Before DOGE my feelings about Musk were sort of meh, he’s an asshole billionaire no worse than any other, and SpaceX is pretty cool.

Now, though, it’s the burning hate of a thousand Rocketdyne F-1 engines.

I lived in a Palo Alto Eichler for 20 years and loved it. Fun fact, the radiant heating in the concrete slab is NOT an upgrade, it’s a standard feature, though for a while they used galvanized pipe that tends to corrode and fail; ours used copper piping and still worked into the 21st century.

The famous (infamous) Madonna Inn in San Luis Obispo! I’ve been there many times. Is the women’s bathroom as weirdly wonderful?

Much, much kinkier.

Yes. I went through the Summer Science Program in Ojai, California (SSP ‘70 represent!) and wanted to be an astrophysicist. I took some astronomy-related courses in college but somehow wound up with a Computer Science degree.

I think they post at midnight EST so those of us west of NYC can watch them Thursday evening.

I figured out that (apparently) new episodes drop at midnight East Coast time, so I can watch the new one at 9PM on Thursday. Yay!

Now i have to go to some cons to see the Murderbot (and Sanctuary Moon) cosplay!
May 31, 2025 at 8:45 PM
Yep. I’ve been there. And there. And there too.
