Lets go one step farther, get rid of the Gregorian calendar and go by Stardates, like in Star Trek.

Gods the Gregorian calendar is stupid as fuck.

We should be using something that makes sense... like a solar calendar... based on where the earth is in rotation to the Sun. What else could make more sense?

Well, since the earth is flat and all (I am being totally sarcastic here. Please don't take me seriously at all) then why don't we just erect some kind of building that would turn the earth into a sundial?

Dreading about what to wear tonight.

Usually the correct answer is nothing, or something kinky. . .

hahah I am not about to show up to dinner with the in laws naked to a restaurant and traumatize couples.

Are you talking about this?

Could I have a different chair. The skid mark is not very appetizing. Thank you.

That site full of bullshit is blocked here.. as are all other news sites. Anyone got a link to a reliable source for this story (i.e. not any news channel, because they're all totally full of shit)?

Ha for a second I was going to refer to you as the potus, then I realized what the website was and remembered he loves them.

Also, it's actually "poostrus" - piece of orange shit that runs U. S.

So...our first Oompa Loompa as a President?

I'm on Chrome and that's been intermittent for me.

We had the most amazing fish tacos last night at Zapatos.

At a shoe place?

Went to Ikea Grand Prairie over the weekend. Windows shopped this round to get some ideas for the house. Now that we have ideas. We need to decide what we're going to tackle first.

Considering this for both bathrooms

Can we have some sun? Its going to be raining and storming here again today. The ground is still saturated from the last 2 weeks of storms. It hasn't rained in 2 days and about to go into another round of storms.

I'll post this here but maybe a separate thread is in order. Looking for a home dns filtering service. Who's left in the DNS filtering world? Strongarm.io appears to have gone to a commercial product and OpenDNS is now Cisco Umbrealla. Outside of PiHole and Symantec's ConenctSafe (and i HATE any Symatec product) anything else to look at?

Quad9

Sorry, I will not willing give the government access to all of my DNS data.

I'll give ti to Google

Google? Government? What's the difference?

This is trolling correct? If you dont understand the difference, "I cant even". Unless youre being snarky that Google caves in to all Gmen for information requests unlike MS and Apple.

I may be misinformed. Please give me a reputable time that Google didn't give in to the government.

Apple did stand up to the FBI and the FBI went around Apple's safeguards and hacked the iPhone themselves.

That is also the first time Apple ever said no to a federal agency that I can remember. Their actual position was, we can't unlock his phone, but we can give you all his iCloud data.

Ahh, so we can't trust anybody. That's why open source will win in the end, imo.

Trying to figure out D-Star.

Putin wins Russian elections by big margin.

Surprised why? Anybody who opposes him "mysteriously" disappears.

@scottalanmiller said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

LOL, trying to explain which cords are power and which are Ethernet. Oh boy.

To the kids or to Comcast? The kids probably already know. Comcast, I'm not so sure.
