I know the chemistry and I know some of the universities working on it in the 70s and 80s. I don’t know how I’d get in the door with no credentials. I like to think I could talk myself into Oxford… it’s delusional, but I like to think it.

First I’d bask in all the social and financial safety nets that Reagan and the Bushes hadn’t been able to destroy yet. Watch some pro-union TV ads. Then try to meet Mr Rogers and Ramblin’ Rod.
Then I’d probably try to invent rechargeable lithium tetrahydride batteries a couple years ahead of time, use the money to invest in MS and Oracle, and funnel the profits to Enron and Bernie Madoff before their bottoms drop out. Once I’m too rich to jail, I’d have some other people I’d want to “meet”… while armed.

We just think you’re bad at grilling, but don’t want to hurt your feelings.

We all have to keep on guard for bean memes. Thank you for the warning bean meme.
- Comment on trolleyposting will continue until morale improves 2 weeks ago:
Why shoot the driver? You want their suffering to be psychological, not physical. Use the gun to quickly kidnap 6 people, steal some rope, and find the nearest track switch. Probably not in that order.

That’s not in the deepest, most troubling depths of the uncanny valley, so it’s not DLSS5.
- Comment on About to ruin your whole day 3 weeks ago:
My grandfather (a small plane mechanic and gadget guy since the 1930s) was always weirdly enamored by dashboard warning lights because, “In my day, you’d take the car for a drive on Sunday and spend the rest of the week fixing it. Problem lights would have been redundant.”
I’ve been thinking about nuggets like from him ever since acollierastro posted her spark plug video.

They only want the freedom to be able drain the bank accounts of their
cattleconstituents into the bank accounts of the oligarchs who own them. - Comment on Green energy 3 weeks ago:
Gasoline is also used in making cocaine. Better to smoke pot and just put errands off until tomorrow forever.

In my case, if they paid attention to my medical history it shouldn’t be much of a surprise to them, and yet it always seems to be.
- Comment on Be prepared 4 weeks ago:
Nah, just spend the week before the date going over all that stuff in your head over and over and over, making sure it basically the only thing on your mind. Practice ALL the conversations you’re going to have. over and over again.
Then when things don’t go exactly as rehearsed, panic and blurt out something stupid. If she laughs, she’s a keeper - and if she doesn’t leave she has flag color blindness.
Perfect system.
- Comment on I forgot something today 4 weeks ago:
You forgot to check your voicemail and missed the message that they finally found a compatible organ donor for you. Since you didn’t respond they gave it to a racist landlord who funds a bum fighting ring instead.

Ouija
- Comment on Road Rage 5 weeks ago:
I want to see the relative percentage of morons on the road who are also driving busses to skyrocket. So same am I not!

Getting my cat an email account has really fast-tracked his business, plus I don’t have to listen to the fax machine all the time.

And how do we that?
It’s simple, we kill The Batman.

They already invented this for me and aptly called it a dickey (the turtleneck variety).
- Comment on Can you purchase a burner phone anonymously in the US? 1 month ago:
Currently you can, but there was news last month the FCC is planning to force carriers to verify ID before allowing them on their networks.

This is where oauth helps. I just log in with my identity provider of choice, and no one has to know I signin there with admin/password.

Only boomers and hate group members are allowed in Idaho. That sign was false advertising.
- Comment on Me attending "AI University" at work today 1 month ago:
I’m required to use AI at work, so I skip training and have claude burn tokens on a summary of the transcript which I won’t read. Sometimes job requirements handle each other.

You’re welcome.

I hate those “find every body orifice” captchas. Does an earlobe count as an ear? Does a Mercedes C-class count, since they’re exclusively driven by assholes?
- Comment on Quack Quack bitch 1 month ago:
I have a cat that would stop at nothing to get at any birds in my house. Feathered toys don’t last long and she has a long standing feud with neighborhood crows (who like to taunt her from the yard).
She’s an indoor cat and birds are outside friends - the balance must be maintained!

Sphincter based age verification legislation is probably already working its way through several US states and Australia by now.

Books are pretty straight forward. And based on what I see out on the high seas, video can’t be that much harder.
