Dealer said my car needs a new front motor, it hasn't been acting funny or anything, just found during a routine checkup. Component arrived a week later, will take a day of labor. $0, and only two days without the car, covered under warranty. This is why you buy cars from grown up automakers.

Hey, uh, AI data centers are probably just a huge asset hedge against inflation that can be liened for future acquisitions and also insured against any losses.

"Man Pixar movies really really get the waterworks going in me now that I'm a parent, I'll put on a fun Don Bluth movie for her on this rainy day" Don Bluth movie: "Hold my drawing pencils"

Wow it's so weird that the primaries are happening in the next week and the Republicans who have an enormous roster of garbage grifters on the ballot are trotting out Fauci for a nonsense clown hearing. I'm sure those things have nothing to do with each other.

Fatherhood is being in your min-forties and summoning every bit of the last few decades of culinary experience to impress a six year old.

Anybody else think it's super duper great that a massive new piece of economically critical international infrastructure is just sitting idle because a babyman is having a fit? Yeah that Gordie Howe bridge is done. Trump is strangling Canada and Michigan right now. Intentionally.

Typing this from my megachonker Lenovo T510 from 2010. Running Windows 7 Pro, Chrome version 109.0.5414.120. I only break it out for legacy software stuff and photoshop (CS3! Adobe can eat it). Everything works just fine. Don't let tech dorks bully you into upgrading if you don't have to.
