    This is off topic, but why isn’t there an animated gif of Bugs Bunny saying the “NO”? I mean, we have animated gifs for almost everything else, but I only see this as a static pic. Can no one find the cartoon that this is from and create a gif from it?




  • Okay, first let’s cool it with the insults. He’s not a moron, he’s my friend, and he’s extremely intelligent. But he’s been brainwashed by propaganda from those who want to hold up Musk as a god-like figure, which is why I say we NEED to continue publicize Musk’s negative actions to keep balanced information out there.

    Second, telling people that they should stop talking on social media about something that you’re tired of hearing about is the antithesis of SOCIAL media. If no one wanted to talk about it, it wouldn’t keep getting posted and commented on. You can use filters and never see another post with his name, but ironically, you opened this post about Musk and made a comment, which keeps it going.


  • Actually we need to keep publicizing his ridiculousness so those that worship him might finally realize he’s not some genius ™. I had a friend recently tell me that Musk was probably the smartest person on the planet right now. I had to explain - as gently as possible so as not to offend those who think others are the snowflakes - that Musk is the very definition of starting on third base and thinking you hit a triple. My buddy gets plenty of propaganda telling him how great Musk is, there needs to be plenty of balance.

    NOTE: Before you tell me, yes, I know that brainwashed people don’t just change their mind, and it probably won’t make a difference. But we shouldn’t let these lines of thought go unchallenged.






  • Dude, 3M Extreme Mounting Tape is the stuff. I bought a portable CarPlay unit for my work vehicle, and I mounted it on the dash with the included mounting tape. It didn’t stay up there a day before it was falling off anytime I hit a bump. I went to Lowe’s and got some Extreme Mounting Tape and put it on, and it doesn’t move. AT ALL. The one time I had to take it off, I thought I was gonna pull parts of the dash off with the tape! I live in the south, and not even the summer heat affects it.





  • Yes, and have for years going to back to the Google Reader days. (I will NEVER forgive them for shutting it down. That’s the closest I’ve ever come to giving up everything Google, but in the end it was too much of a hassle and I didn’t have the time to move everything to new services.)

    When I lost GReader, I tried every one I could to find a replacement, and I settled on NewsBlur. It was the one that was most like what I was I used to, had the best features, and is a one man operation. So I’m supporting an independent dev, who’s very responsive on the forum. It’s not free, but well worth the money, and I’ve been with it ten years now. I have a number of news, tech, and general feeds that I check most every day. Everything I need to stay up to date in one place!








  • The Shield. One of the most tightly written seven seasons of television I’ve ever watched. Most things tied together, and the finale closed the loop on what happened in the first episode. The end of every episode left you immediately wanting to start the next one.

    It’s about the Strike Team, a special unit of four cops within a police department. The whole series is on Hulu. Give it a try, and you’ll be hooked.
