Jackass with an action bias. Also an astronomer.
Am I psychic? I think I can spot someone else who didn't pass the bar on their first try.

Took me so long to debug a thing where it turned out someone was using Dublin Julian Date as a default.

It is wild to think how if your house got robbed in the 90s it was almost a certainty that they would take your tv and vcr. Because those items could be sold at a pawn shop for a significant amount of money.

Wow, the "igon value" article was all the way back in 2002.

"I will call this the Igon Value Problem: when a writer's education on a topic consists in interviewing an expert, he is apt to offer generalizations that are banal, obtuse or flat wrong."--Pinker via Wikipedia

And in Alien they do such a good job of explicitly breaking the safety protocol.

Someone asked what was the worst movie in the last 10 years and I was sad Prometheus had aged out because it's still the worst.

Seattle has a "fire season" now. Every year there are a few days where wildfire smoke blows in and the air quality is horrendous. This never happened in the 80s and 90s. Maybe a few days of stagnant air and smog would build up triggering a burn ban, but not waves of wildfire smoke.

Wasn't there a clip of Obama where he pushed back against eliminating insurance middle men because, "those are good middle class jobs". We can't even get the slam dunk tradeoffs made.

Anyway, I swore off the NBA until I get the Sonics back, but this might make me follow the league again

And it's gotta be committing related crimes together, otherwise that's just a "family of criminals" not a "crime family".
