Didn't hear what she had to say but a friend said is was definitely going to be the basis of SNL's cold open this weekend.

40 years ago at UCLA, I had to do my FORTRAN programs on punch cards submitted through the batch system. The CS/Math department (no CS department then), only offered 1 section in FORTRAN with 40 others in PASCAL. And it was taught by an Engineering professor. Why would a Chemistry major take a computer science class? Remember all those shiny machines CSI uses to do forensic analysis? They came from chem labs.

Although with the state of both Target's near me, there's often stuff out of stock.

  • peroxide -- come on. The last time Target didn't have peroxide or rubbing alcohol was during the pandemic lockdown. What their excuse NOW?

  • Hershey's Almond Nuggets -- OK. They're popular. So if there's only 1 bag left, you should maybe order more.

  • t-shirts in my size -- the men's accessory clothing section was a disaster. I don't know when the last time a sales associate tidied up, but there were underwear sizes all mixed up from different brands (Fruit of the Loom, Hanes, etc.) and quality. I had to buy what I wanted on-line.

It's gotten so that I don't trust either of my Target's to have stuff I buy there on a regular basis.

Lovely little utility.

Shut up and take my money.

I hope the insurance carrier that covers this school district sends them a letter saying that their anti-litigation insurance will be cancelled in the coming year. And because they failed to "take steps to decrease bullying", all litigation claims until then will have a $10,000 coverage cap.

This should make enterprising attorneys quite enthusiastic to find students who've been buillied. I'm sure there's at least 1 trans kid out there.

I got hit by this AT&T usage cap for internet downloads. I went through 250GB of downloads in less than a month. Most of it was internet backups of a newly installed system. They don't offer a data tier without a cap in my area so I was stuck paying $10/10GB over that month. Next month I added a $30 unlimited data charge to my bill. That's OK as I'm consistently going over their cap again due to backups. Unless I buy much more expensive plan from a commercial provider and pay for Fibre installation, I'm stuck.

Pasolini's SALO. Images from it corrupt my brain.
