Dude (which is a West Coast They, of course): I’ve been working on my submission for TBQ for about a year. Duck The Paris Review.

I think they're supposed to pay you and give you a place to stay. Hence 'residency'. Sounds like never-never land to me.

Man, if I get 500 words in a go, I feel like a King.

Their historic beers of Scotland are definitive, and delicious. And their modern beers are also amazing.

You wouldn’t believe the hoops I’ve jumped through to get their bottle-conditioned Christmas beer in London every year.

I figured that had something to do with it. But you can take your router (and APs) with you. Always good to know the LAN will work…

My setup is a bit on the expensive side, but is probably still less than $1,000 for the whole house, set up for redundant uplinks and hot-spare core networking.

A lot of ‘smart home’ tech only has 2.4Ghz. It’s pretty silly. Then again, a lot of ‘smart home’ stuff isn’t very smart, and should only be online when it benefits the user.

Can you not use your own router? I haven’t used an ISP router in at least a decade.

Can we just, for a moment, think about how stupid it is that passports and passport cards -- which are canonical records of citizenship and identity -- somehow aren't 'Real ID'?

You want to talk punk. Here’s my man:

Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-Vermont) will conduct the ceremonial swearing-in at the daytime event, which will occur alongside a car-free "block party" on Broadway between Liberty and Murray streets.

Solidarity forever.

And it’s a good one.

But my favourite character in your work is still the dog from Lust Lizard. Also, will take any opportunity to skewer Cambria on its own foibles.

Then I shall stop replying on FB. There’s no point in feeding that particular beast anymore.

Side ?: are you double-posting everything here and on FB? If so I will stop replying on FB.

My Mac IIsi got upgraded from 5 to 9Mb and I laid out a weekly newspaper on the 12” Color monitor. I think it had an 80Mb hard drive, but discdoubler helped with that.

How is it that web browsers, which are really just markup readers, are so resource-hungry?

Which book is that? As an immigrant I often think about the nature of British identity.

Better than re-reading Skyrealms materials. I’ve never even played it!

And let’s not talk about how many editions of CoC are on my shelf.
