Oh wow, my kids are into Young Sheldon and have been binging it. They've said that Sheldon reminds them of me. Ok, guilty. Still, his interactions with the youth minister are painfully close to mine. They literally kicked me out of VBS because I kept asking questions.

So what if EA was purchased by private equity using a LOT of debt. Please get off your high liberal high horses and embrace that private equity is good. Look at what this business model did for Sears, A&P, Joann's, Party City, On The Border, Payless, Radio Shack, True Value...

100% this. While I've made the garlic munching surrender monkey jokes in the past, it was because I was really ignorant of French history. The more I've learned, the French were in a real tough spot. The politicians failed their military, not the other way around.

I will fight and die on the hill that no one fought braver and better in 1940 than the French army in June, knowing that their best troops had already been lost and the Germans would show them little mercy

Got zero accomplished today at work, but at home I painted and covered up missing paint on our garage door and entryway, fixed out malfunctioning garage door, and helped my wife choreograph her XMA sword routine. She told me "I didn't know you knew sword stuff." I did HEMA for yeeaaarrs. Sigh.

He was 15 points underwater in Texas during his first term.🤷🏿‍♂️ Again, Texas has more Black people than any other state. Voter suppression is the difference between how people feel about him, and what election results suggest. Which is why Texas perennially has one of the lowest "voter turnouts."

Trump 9 points underwater *IN TEXAS.* It's literally impossible to tell how the media would cover a Dem President with equivalently low approval ratings (because there's never been one before) but you'd be hearing LAME DUCK every 15 seconds

What's your most powerful movie experience? Mom who was silent generation wanted to see Saving Private Ryan. "It looks like a good old fashioned war movie with that Tom Hanks fella." Knew nothing about it, because it's 1998. No spoilers then. Sat at the 1st showing. The audience was three sets...

Those are some insane upgrades. Reminds me of people that put modern gaming PCs in ancient computer cases. However, ThinkPads are a special case. They are pretty bulletproof and I have a 9 year old daily driver t490s. They just don't die like others. Plus, they are very Linux friendly.

The used ThinkPad market is thriving as new laptop prices climb, and dedicated enthusiasts are going back as far as 2008 in an effort to revive classic laptops with new performance hardware. I took a dive into the world of ThinkPad enthusiasts to see what's going on.
