Every Teams chat needs a Taco Palace.
A "Brad's (Brad) Taco Palace" chat group in Microsoft Teams. At the top of the chat is a paused meme GIF of Chris Pratt from Parks & Recreation and the text "Sometimes when I wipe,". It was one "marker" emoji reaction, and two "laugh" emoji reactions.

So the idea was that you suck on these things, and then you become President or something.

Dafunk is even happening right now...

Ask not what "ICYMI" means (or why Brad still can't remember it). Ask why work is using it on their intranet now, too.

Oh boy, another round of "good riddance" followed by internet basement dwellers trying to get people fired at work.

If anything else, the Internet is predictable now...

I wonder if I should finally play Fortnite? Is this what finally pushes me over the edge?

The television from The Simpsons. The Fortnite logo is on the screen. Bart Simpson in a mech suit has spray painted an "A" over the "O" in "Fortnite" so it now says "Fartnite".

And I'm not even particularly good at Pac-Man.

The "kill screen" on today's Pac-Man game on the Google homepage, achieved after completing 8 levels. Eight very easy levels. Where the game's speed never even reaches the original Stage 1 arcade game's speed.

This Target is only 10 minutes from my house, but I always go to the one 20 minutes away instead. Because why would Target do that?

Trying to buy a mouse for my left-handed dad with Parkinson's. None of the packaging makes it clear whether the damn mouse is made for righties only.

How do you sinister sickos live like this?
A bunch of mouse packaging that only shows the mouse from the right side, so it's unclear if a left-hander could use it

My Bluray drive (an LG WH16NS40 with the fancy firmware that allows 4K UHD rips) has started making an awful grinding noise when I wake my PC.

Bluray drives are starting to get hard to find.

Do I buy a new one? Or do I face the fact that the discs I […]

Whatever the hell is going on with the South Park episode numbering, it's very inconsiderate to us #plex dorks. TVDB is going to double down on this even after the "6-7" joke airs out.

Season 27 was six episodes ending October 2025. Season 28 is five episodes starting October 2025.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.. Brad no likey all of the politics stuff on social media.

But the unhinged politics-related AI videos on this particular TikTok account always make me giggle like I'm 12 again.

It'd be cool if AI resulted in a massive glut of refurb HDDs hitting the market soon.

Because, boy-howdy, did the price of those used datacenter HDDs from ServerPartDeals & GoHardDrive double in the last 18 months.

I understand that this is confusing. In fact, I had to rewrite it a couple times because it confused me, too.

So I asked the AI to make it easy to understand. This should make it make total sense. Happy Friday.
