I don't think that's actually news to any of us...  

Was a good movie i have watched countless times.

• (Steve Buscemi) "Anybody gives us any static, I shove this in their face."
• (Adam Sandler) "Ahhh."
• (Adam Sandler) "Yeah, but remember that fat kid on "Hard Copy" with a toy gun. The cops zapped him with a taser until he went bald."
• (Steve Buscemi) "And then he sued them for a million bucks when his pubes didn't grow in."
• (Adam Sandler) "Still got no hair on his balls, man."

(Not quiet the same)  But,  how many times have you guys seen Dazed & Confused (countless for me) and The Stoned Age (Dozens haha)?   If you haven't seen them,  those are my recommendations :=)

Yeah those were some good movies too, lets not forget about Cheech and Chong. I also remember Biodome which i thought was good back in the 90's but never watched it since. So who knows if it sucks or i just liked it back in my stoner days haha

Doo, Doo Doo Doo! I'm big Texas Butters! And this is my partner Toast! 

How can we ground that which is ungroundable?

Blank Reg!  "Max Headroom" was such a groundbreaking show.

I was wondering who'd get that one!  And yep, have '20 Minutes Into The Future' on the brain today for some reason.  Not complaining, though ?

Clippy : Did you mean : "We're gonna need you at more of a Gary Cherone?"

A woman introduced herself to me at a party once by holding out her hand (to shake hands) and just saying her name, Eileen.  I replied "You do?"  and proceeded to eye her up, trying to see if she was right.  She just walked away.

Well, you never know.  The VCS did see a release, so anything could happen.

Anything's possible,  I mean maybe someday GameStop stock will go up...(wait)

I've circumvented my dislike of whatever the default window manager is that shipped with Raspbian Buster by just RDPing into a Windows 10 VM.  Sure, that gives me other things to dislike, but at least they're ones I'm able to work with.

FWIW, I'd use Windowmaker on this thing if I felt like spending the time to install it and switch over, but then I'd still be stuck with things like no decent O365 support, etc.  I just want to get work done, and screw around on here. )

Idiocracy?   Loved it!  FOX really dropped the ball on that one,  huh?  No reason in the world it shouldn't have gone to the theater.  You'd think Mike Judge, the man behind Office Space (the Pink Floyd of DVD sales...Continuously selling) would have been given free reign, but nooooo...Perhaps it really was the advertisers,  i.e. the fact they used real world corporations and didn't exactly make them look good...Starbucks?  We don't have time for a hand job right now...

What's weird is that I can remember seeing posters advertising it dotted around a couple of places in L.A.  Checked into the premise, decided I wanted to see it, and it was gone.  This is on a timeframe of maybe two or three days between seeing the poster and being ready to buy a ticket.

From what I understand, the studio was contractually obliged to release it, so did the absolute bare minimum that they could in that regard and still fulfill the terms of the contract.  My suspicion is that they were afraid that their audience would see too much of themselves in the film and feel insulted

^Yeah,  part of me didn't want to state the (almost) obvious.  One network probably thought this was a documentary and not a satire, LOL

Just checking my Doordash...Oh there it is!  Soylent Green!

More "ass' than the usual politics, religion, and Amico?   

Oh yes.  Politics, religion, and Amico are just the generic background buzz of ass.  These ones are more noisome.

I thought the Amico consisted of both politics and religion.

Anyway, back on topic.  Yes, I generally see an uptick of the ass at the parts counter during a full moon, and unfortunately I work tomorrow.

Time for new Status Update I think...Hopefully one that says you're feeling better!!

Three negative COVID tests - two midweek, one last night.  As it's been a week since the first symptoms appeared, the good news is that it's probably not Omicron.

However - and I've heard this from two different doctors - this year's 'flu shot appears to be largely ineffective against the variant(s) we're seeing in this neck of the woods.  It also doesn't help that the 'flu symptoms are incredibly similar to Omicron's, so knowing which one may actually be the cause of illness isn't definite by any means, even with testing since that's only a snapshot in time of antigens that may not have yet built up in large enough numbers to be detected.  This is why I ran myself through three tests in one week.

In any event, I'm still having the sinus pressure in the head, somewhat tight chest and minor difficulty breathing (no wheezing or potential pneumonia signs, though) along with lack of concentration, lethargy, and sleeping 14-18 hours per day.  Things do seem to be gradually improving, but man are they taking their sweet time about it

Thanks for the update and the info. Glad to hear things are improving.

It looks like this song appeared both in the first and second album of the band. I just listened to the first album (where Zombies has a more rock-reggae feel) and it was surprisingly good. 80s new wave with touches of reggae and an epic Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds cover.

The only thing that feels odd to me is the voice, that sounds too "artificial" or "pop" for that band.

I love hooters!  Oh, and The Hooters as well.

You have to wonder if the increase in immunizations also is related into the increase of allergies to peanuts and weird things like water.

Last time I had a flu shot, I was half dead in my bedroom with a flu like virus. Turns out it's just a side effect of getting the shot and should wear off in a couple of weeks. I'm still iffy on getting another one though.

That's what I got now from my flu shot from last week!  I feel like dog crap or actually the scum on the bottom of dog crap.

I feel ya pain, did my lumber back in 2 years ago boilermaking/welder. Ever since it's constant pain everyday. To add salt my daughter was born a week after the injury.

You need TP for your bunghole?

Do not make my bunghole angry!

Had golf ball sized hail here in Oklahoma.  Having my roof and gutters inspected after just having to replace them from a massive baseball size hail storm that rolled through Norman in April.  Fun times...

@Hwlngmad: yup, that would be the same storm that hit us last night.  We also got hit by the one at the end of April.  Going out to inspect damage now; pretty sure we got at least a couple of holes in the roof.

Man!  That is bummer.  Well, best of luck and hopefully it is nothing too serious.  I have my fingers and toes crossed we didn't get any (major) or really just minor damage.  But, considering our luck this year, probably not.

I'm not sure why,...but you get a Thanks!

I hope you get better!  There is other ailments out there, so it might not be COVID, but a second test couldn't hurt.  Best of luck!

Appreciate the thoughts, everyone.  Just rebooked both of us for testing again tomorrow, so we'll see what shakes out.  We're being very careful about this as my wife had COVID last February when we still didn't really know what was going on, so neither of us wants to take any chances.  The most annoying part is that the symptoms are mostly-interchangeable with colds and the 'flu, and not everyone will have the same (or any) symptoms, so it's hard to tell what it is that I'm potentially dealing with.

The loss of smell and taste is what has me most concerned, though - I've been using increasingly-insane amounts of different hot sauces on things to try to get a read on where that one sits, and so far I'm getting a lot of heat with very little to no flavour.  Did manage to successfully mace myself with udon steam last night, though, so at least my eyes are working properly.

On the plus side, at work people who had it said their sense of taste went away but it comes back;  it just may take a while...

Dildo manufacturing is a lucrative career, but the licensing fees are steep!

True, but there's enough prior art that patent and copyright concerns just don't exist.  I'm telling you, it's pure money.  Pure, pure money.

@CPUWIZ: Yep, we've got everything on camera, so am not too concerned.  However, we did have one local set of thieves who were caught on video walking up onto someone's porch, taking packages, then noticing the cameras and debating whether they should put them back or not.  Finally, one of them (looking straight into the camera) says, "nah, these cameras are fake," and they all leave, taking the packages with them.

The arrest was made within a couple of hours of the homeowner getting the video to the police.

BTW: on the mailbox, I stuck a Z-Wave motion sensor in there and just have it send our phones a text message when the lid is opened.  Works great, and our cellco's email-to-SMS gateway works perfectly for this application.  I had thought about doing a camera as well, but didn't want to lose the space in the mailbox.

LOL, does anyone still use fake cameras?  Shit, I was thinking of a ESP32-CAM in my mailbox, but the Blink ones are really small and wireless.  Batteries last forever.

I love YouTube videos where they set up fake boxes to nail porch pirates...Stuff that sprays glitter /confetti/stink bombs then uses cameras to send back their reaction,  right before the sounds of a Police scanner, followed by an ominous countdown...I only wish it also busted them.

Is it for work?  On the road?  I do my mileage as local deliveries,  but it all adds up...

Trip 1: obtain a rear windscreen for the car that got it knocked out in the hailstorm we had at the end of April.  It's a Peugeot, so options were slim.  2800-mile round trip.

Trip 2: Go to Kansas to look at another car.  800-mile round trip.

Trip 3: Go to Texas to look at another car.  400-mile round trip.  At least this one panned out.

Trip 4: Collect new car from Texas, add another 400 to the clock.

Trip 5 (upcoming): Deliver new car to owner.  2800-mile round trip.

All of that is just point-to-point mileage without any running around factored in, so the total will probably be closer to 8000 when all is said and done.
