I thought those were dead pixels. No, that's an actual insect that somehow crawled up into the display of my TV, between the outer clear shell and the actual LCD panel. WTAF? How do you even deal with this? (Short of LOL COSTCO RETURN POLICY GO BRRRRRRRRRR, that is.)

Despite the humidity, it's still #nice enough that I can sit out on the patio post-run and wait to stop sweating before I take a shower Ah, the luxuries of the middle-aged runner

Perfect ad placement. No notes.

CNN headline: "Exclusive: US military had close call after using AI for false intelligence report, sources say"

Popover ad: "You can expect more audit insights with AI."

Save me, one (1) Night Beer, you're my only hope

A can of Legend Brown Ale, the granddaddy of the Richmond craft beer scene and a beer that will always remind me of get-togethers with first co-workers, then former co-workers as Circuit City Stores collapsed around us.

On the one hand, the snowclone is "the European mind cannot comprehend &c"; on the other hand, drinking Strongbow and setting fire to a small portion of one's surroundings is about as comprehensible to the European mind as it gets around here

More or less. From the way the indicators fluctuated during the quiz I think they have trouble sorting out the dialect mess that is everything between the PA/DE border and Raleigh (except specifically Baltimore City, which is its own universe). And I can't make any sense of the western hot spot.

🖋️ finally found a beer here that doesn't suck! Shame about the brisket. But for a $10 (at the box office) ticket down the line and first come, first serve bar seating on the wall, we'll work with what we've got.

Not impressed with your posts.
