And miss the fun of what happens you forget reconcile the wildcard you could use in a closed circuit sandbox you knew would eventually have to be defined?
What fun is that. No better teaching moment for broader architecture than “why does X say ‘dumb_annoyance’”.

How much does the job pay?
Because I like to blather on, am capable of listening to nutjobs while saying "interesting...", and enjoy the occasional mind-altering substance.
I also enjoy man dudebro things but am capable of making it sound like something holier than being fat, drunk and stupid.

PlutoTV man... Recent occurrence but that's how I knew I had gotten old. "I'd really like to watch a few eps of old show X who streams it?"
No one... except - there are these free streaming places with entire channels of what I wanted :-)
Works for Taxi, Stargate, DS9, and lots more, too!

Like a poor marksman who keeps missing the target, his BBB doesn't actually even manage that.
Sucks I might out on a higher SALT deduction, but it's the Appalachian, plains, and deep south states who will suffer more.

I bid adieu to cable news more than 15 years ago (beyond election nights) -- but Tapper *used to be* the best of a bad lot... meaning, in the last 15 years, his show was one where he at least asked serious - fair - questions and I might occasionally flip channels to it.
It's all infotainment now.

I know I'm supposed to care, but I'll take an unending cadre of deep state puppeteers within normal boring party confines over a stupid gameshow host madman for the rest of my life if those are my choices.
Readily admit it's suboptimal, but I hate the dumb POTUS is superman shit anyway.

Hahaha.
Kids? One of my 50 yo friends recently had his own birthday party at Timber Lanes.
I guess to be fair, he also had his own kid's BDay party there.
We had more beer for the adult one, though.
