Royal Navy being interviewed about Somali pirates:

Can you see the pirates point of view?

Well, ya, but I have a family to feed too and I don't run around pointing guns at people... Well, I do. Big ones. [laughter]

Long weekend RV'ing in NW Iowa. :) http://deafferret.tumblr.com/tagged/rv

Wow. My coworker just got back from Africa :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-PMZpcERkco

Interesting. I didn't know there are so many atmospheric problems trying to dis/prove flat earth optically from the surface. http://ohnopodcast.com/investigations/2018/8/3/ross-and-carrie-traverse-flat-earth-part-8-a-better-experiment

ha a co-worker quoted me as saying this this morning:

"we're in a transitional phase to our aspirational policies"

yup, that's pretty much my day job in a nutshell. I say things like that and don't even realize I'm doing it.

Yup. When the shit hits the fan Wall Street and journalists covering it look out for themselves and keep the information to themselves.

"But next time it'll be different." lol

A successful 2 days dirt biking in Colorado. :)

Me w/o scuba dry suit: introvert philanthropist thousand-aire.

so... if you're not RVing this week what are you doing with all your free time since you're not driving to the store twice to drain your sewage from an apparently leaking toilet -> black water tank?

You raising children or something?

Lots of people tell me Bitcoin is worthless, so $0 USD seems to be an "exchange rate" calculated "in a reasonable manner that is consistently applied."

Taxes are Easy!(tm)

huh. 10 degrees hotter in Denver than Omaha. Oops. Turns out 15% humidity is better than 58% though :)

Aw c'mon Visa fraud department. What exactly is suspicious about me spending money in London (kickstarter) and Nebraska (gas bill) and Colorado (RV park) yesterday?

Just kidding. Thanks for looking out for me. :)

Overheard: "How is SVN still a thing?"

IT is a long, mostly dry riverbed of puddles. Far downstream the river is still running with people embracing constant change. Eventually each upstream puddle dries out when enough people retire / wander off / die.

!! $47B to build tunnels / bridges to connect Norwegian cities. Ruining the natural beauty and isolation of ancient fjords?

If you want easy transport of swarms of people across huge swaths of land isn't it easier to move to Nebraska?
