The whole album is a treat. It’s best enjoyed knowing the history of frank zappa’s various run-ins with the police due to his music

Gender-affirmimg truck surgery

Yeah, I mistyped. But that would work too lol!

I had this same problem trying to remember the name of Revel Rouser by Duane Eddy last weekend. Another instrumental. Tried explaining instruments, style, and did the vocalization thing like in the post (there’s a name for it, but can’t remember: anomonopea?) 5 rounds of refinement led to a bunch of cool wrong answers. Ddg found a site that I could hum the tune to, but it returned an “API Fail” error. A brief search to find song-identifying resources sent me to Google voice search, and although it was only a 19% match, (probably my lousy pitch) I was finally able to get rid of that nagging brain worm.

Not the Kennedy Jr. kind…

At least Lecter is honest about who he is!

I’m probably gonna mess this quote up, but I thought it was brilliant:

“Privacy is essential to security, and shitty people feel entitled to take that away from you.”

You can’t be secure in your dealings or operate on equal footing (economically speaking, as others here have pointed out) without a measure of privacy.

This binary thinking is going to destroy the world, isn’t it? Societies and human endeavors are a messy, complex business.

Oh, shit, I’m still here… Can I have my wallet and dog back please?!?

Great Scott! I was so busy packing, I forgot about the dog! Quick! What are your rates! Nevermind - here’s my bank info - I won’t need money anymore!!

Oh, shit! Who will water my plants?!

AFAIK, the Samsung BEC-H series commercial monitors don’t have the “smart” features (at least enabled, probably still exist under the hood somewhere).

Dude didn’t even get a shot off. And at 400 yards, an AK might hit the broad side of a barn. This was an assassination attempt equivalent to a palsy patient attempting to do brain surgery with a pipe wrench. (shamelessly stolen from Sin City)

Wouldn’t say I buy cheap shit, not Apple (I’m not Musk or Bezos rich), but flagship Samsung and pro earbuds, Logitech trackball, jbl speakers, and headsets from Bose and Jabra. Now the BT receiver for the stereo, that was cheap Amazon garbage. I’ll give you that one.

I’m talking phones to cars (for hands-free and music), mice to desk and laptop, earbuds and headphones to both, keyboards to anything from computers to fire TVs, BT speakers, adapters for older receivers… They all suck. Multiple phones, devices and cars. (although the 2012 Chrysler was the worst so far, and the 2021 Subaru is better)

I will die on the hill that Bluetooth always has and always will suck ass. Pairing sucks. Latency sucks. Random-ass disconnects suck. Fuck Bluetooth in the neck sideways with a rusty screwdriver.

Step 4: get blown ta fuck by a fpv drone

Dafuq is this all-that-no-cattle,parking-lot-princess-drivin’ mouthbreather?

I’m looking into the possibility of moving my organization to FF. Office of about 200 endpoints. The sticky wicket that I don’t fully understand is Auth passthru to 365.

This is exactly what is being done. My eldest child is in a Ph. D. program for human - robot interaction and medical intervention, and has worked on image analysis systems in this field. They’re intended use is exactly that - a “first look” and “second look”. A first look to help catch the small, easily overlooked pre-tumors, and tentatively mark clear ones. A second look to be a safety net for tired, overworked, or outdated eyes.

He’s guaranteed to win because that county is batshit insane. In absolutely no system of justice should this shitbag have an ounce of authority.
