Bluehost is cheap. That’s why I have this site hosted here. But this sort of shit is why IT folk gain a reputation for being dicks. Because all too often, they ARE.

New Fear Unlocked
A wasp or hornet (I’m not good at identifying them, but it wasn’t a honey bee nor bumble bee, it was smooth, shiny, black & yellow & stingy) was clinging to the shorts. WHY it had crawled between shorts and underwear in the first place, I cannot begin to fathom. But in the cool, pre-dawn basement, it was nearly motionless.
Took the shorts over to the patio door, opened it, flicked ’em outside.
But this has now unlocked a new fear – of being stung in the balls.
How far into autumn/winter will it be before the risk of stingy fuckers hiding in my underwear basket has returned to effectively zero?

We finished watching the last episode of season 3 of something from way back in the NTSC video standard days. We were curious how many more seasons there are. Are we half-way through? Wife: (long-presses some button on her phone) “Hey Siri, how many seasons are there of (show we were watching)?” Wife’s default-voiced Siri:… Continue reading Bumped Into Siri Bug Or Easter Egg
But Also Do Some Ham Radio As Long As I’m Out
Lost in the woods, I had already tried 146.52 from a couple of the hill tops. A local would be a better way to go, if possible. But honestly, knowing that the MMSN was still going to be out there for another six hours was all the reassurance I needed to stave off panic.
Rude Awakening
In the wee dark hours this morning, the recliner decided it’d had just about enough of my bullshit, and dumped me like Graham Norton’s Big Red Chair. And I didn’t even get to tell a story.
Sexism In The Age Of Cholera… or is it Covid?
Anytime I’m going to be within 10 feet of people other than my wife, I wear a 3m 8210 N95 mask. It has two real straps that go around my head, holding it tightly to my face all the way around. Does it mess up my hair? Sure. I don’t fucking care. I need to not get Covid-19, so STFU.
Celebratory Meals and Traditional Habits
I’d heard the joking term “meat sweats” many times over the decades. But friend, I’m hear to tell you, the meat sweats are a real thing. As I was taking off my sleep shirt this morning, I swear that thing smelled like gravy, and I tossed it in the laundry pile with conviction.
An Object Lesson On Correction
Friends, I’m telling you, it’s OK to not know a thing. Ignorance is the default condition; stupidity is a choice.
Be curious. Be humble. Be correctable. And be brave enough to push back on both sides of Social Media Toxicity.
Amateur Philosophy Of Evil
“‘Evil’ is a pretty strong word.” dad said, solemnly. Mind you, dad’s been in the Swedish Baptist RWNJ Evangelical Cult since his conception, and he ain’t budging.
