 @edc128e6 True. I would have had 5-10 more years of being younger than the Speaker of the House if the Dems were in charge. Also, this whole deal with Republicans gaining control of the House, threatening to shut down the government (successfully or not), then dumping their “leaders” like wet garbage is the dumbest shit, and people continue to vote for it.

 Our feral friend Harley has gotten into the habit of spending evenings inside with us, resting on a cushion under the coffee table. But when a thunderstorm hits, he panics because he doesn’t know where to go. Of course, he doesn’t have to go anywhere because he’s indoors, but this week he scurried to under the dining table, legs tucked in.

 @03a95182 I find it amusing when people hitting Apple with a DDoS attack complain that Apple’s site is broken while they are breaking it.

 ”Apple stealth-launched a 2-meter 240W USB-C cable for all your charging needs“ and it’s cheaper than Anker’s 2-meter 140W charge cable. Apple’s USB-C cable line now consists of two white charge cables (a 1-meter 60W and this future-proofed 240W) and a black Thunderbolt cable. I appreciate the simple and clear differentiation here.

I am reminded of this quote: “The iPad is the clearest expression of our vision of the future of personal computing.” — Tim Cook
Clearest, not clear. Expression, not definition. Vision, not tangible. Future, not knowable.
