My plan of non-stop cursing worked. (Actually I'm sure it's because my credit card is already on file since I'm still paying for Nitro Classic)

I gotta say, 21 year old me would have loved playing a Forsaken Paladin, but it wasn't meant to be. So I'm glad Blizzard rectified that with World of Warcraft Forever. (Who am I kidding though, of course I'm going to main a rogue again for launch)

Got my new (and first) EV, the 2026 Toyota bZ in the Limited trim. Thought about AWD but where I live, I don’t really need it. So FWD it is.

Smurfs in the 80’s didn’t fare much better… Dug these out from my last move.

A black Smurf that were called Gnaps which were Smurfs that got bitten by a certain fly that basically made them zombies of a fashion.

A reddish brown Smurf with an white outlined mouth, yellow waist covering and spear made to look as some sort of tribal warrior.

There was a big ass motorcade heading northbound when I was heading south. I noticed something was off when there was no traffic for a mile or two on the other side and then all of sudden a whole bunch of police and black SUVs. Walked into work to do a quick search. It was the Vice Dipshit, lmao.

Dipping my toes in off grid mesh communication with MeshCore and one of the first messages I see last night. Reminds me of simpler times.

Screenshot of a public channel for MeshCore messaging. A user named Buck Rucker sends several messages:

Hello
I’m pregnant
I’m in DTLA
Hello hello

A response from me says the following:
most people probably sleeping, it is a west coast mesh after all (messages were sent around 3 AM for context)

Another user chimes in saying:
I’m not the father!

Buck responds:
well well, that’s what the father would say

OK, solved. I have access to Premium Lite, but you have to go in a roundabout way to even get to it because YouTube is a bunch of assholes where I can't just downgrade directly from my account.
