I like to work on space hardware. For fun I enjoy iRacing and Final Fantasy (XIV lately). I also track my 2003 Bugeye STi Wagon.

Sure the whole thing is sad he's President, but watching a grown man who gets upset called out for his lying and storm out of an interview when he can barely stand is a bit funny.

The destruction of the White House wing seems to be a great allegory for everything the old man does. Unilaterally decide something insane without any planning and consensus for what comes afterwards.

I took some time to play on 7.5. Main story quest was good, alliance raid was fun, and finally finished the extreme for first time today. Now just unreal left and eventually do all the cosmic encounter I haven't bothered with.

Jollibee has always been a bit of a family joke because my wife is from the Philippines and hates it. I keep going by and never tried it. Now with the FFXIV collab going on, I'll actually have to try it for the first time.

I was kind of shocked to actually clear. I got to boss 3 only once before. On this random party, I got a lot of help. I died on every boss, but it was still a relatively easy clear on each one and no wipes. First time I got through a criterion.

I kind of wonder if this is like the last days of the Soviet Union. Massive expenditures on military for nonsensical purposes, huge debt, no real leadership with a plan, everyone in the government completely drunk.

The old fart literally told the leader of Norway that the USA will go to war because the old fart didn't get a peace prize. I thought I was joking about the supervillain arc, but I guess not now.

It seems like if you want to destroy a country, a good path would be. Rack up massive debt With the debt, create a thug force to kick out immigrants and wreck the economy Push for low interest rates to encourage massive inflation Kidnap foreign leaders. Attack allied nations. Missing anything?
