Right? I woke up the other night and the gnomes were playing Rogan and The Daily into my ears at the same time. The exterminator says it’ll be $10k to get rid of them permanently, and I just don’t have that.

Hence the “/s” tag.

Of course the industry doesn’t want them to unionize. That’s like half the reason to do it.

Ironically the Jaguar’s vintage status makes this the most expensive Linux machine on earth

Private security doubly so.

Same.

Kinda makes me want to start smoking again, but my kids would be sad if I did that.

That’s the premise of this podcast too. Their advice covers things like “how to talk to your neighbors” and “growing food in different circumstances.”

Man, life just isn’t fair, is it?

Missed one.

That is “Saturn devouring his children” I believe by Goya.

Looks like the advice is covered, so let’s talk about your use of the term “boomer” to refer to yourself. You are a millennial, you’re likely too young to have boomer parents.

It may not be the best answer, but it’s probably the nerdiest.

I definitely think it was a deliberate choice, but more in the vein of “look at this bumbling moron driving this piece of shit French car” as a way of further masking his actual abilities.

But the show started in the 60s, and it’s the same car. You could argue his trenchcoat and hat (de rigeur when the show started) were more affectation in later years, or accept that at some point those simply occupy the role of signifiers that “yes this is Columbo.”

He’s a sergeant.

Columbo. Neurotypical is debatable, a lot of his behavior is an act to make the suspect less guarded. But he drives a shitty car, is happily married, and isn’t “too old for this shit.”

“No, the name ‘Milka’ doesn’t refer to milk, why do you ask?”

If you read it in Kermit the Frog’s voice, it’s like you’re in the room with him. Minus the smell of meat-and-benzo sweat.

The Daily Mail article says he’d killed elephants before, so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

“We wiped out the apex predators so now we have to be the apex predators” is an…interesting take on justifying trophy hunting.

You could just fund conservation for animals like lions and hyenas in the savanna, and other predators in other environments. It’s better overall, see the effects of reintroducing wolves to Yellowstone.
