Being the low man on the totem pole is starting to get to me. It's not so much being married as having a dog. She follows her mommy around everywhere, her mommy being the Pied Piper of Cockers. If Wife is having a bad day, she might be in bed most of the day. This means the dog will too, appearing only to go outside. She indicates this by staring at me until I take her out. She just sits there... staring at me, with those huge brown eyes. But that's it - she won't come around to sit with me or get her belly rubbed. If I have a bad day, I can go fsck myself. Ah, it's good having a dog.
California is the first state to offer health insurance to illegal aliens. Of course it's California.
Meanwhile, I have friends who can't afford to pay for normal healthcare, some with health insurance.
I just saw a review. Of mouse pads.
How in the universe does one review mouse pads, and does anybody go looking for mouse pad reviews? Unless, of course, it's a gaming mouse pad. Regular old mouse pads, which are good for regular old computer users, are sometimes free, sometimes really cheap. GAMING mouse pads start at $29.95, because whenever you add GAMING to something, the price triples.

It's not safe or wise to be in the air these days.
An Alaska Air Boeing 737-Max 9 plane experienced a window blowout and had to make an emergency landing. Everybody was ok. Alaska's CEO had a fit after noticing the bolts were loose on other planes and blamed Boeing. One would be safe in assuming that if the fault belonged to Alaska Air, the CEO would be on vacation, in some underground facility, incommunicado.
Speaking of blowouts., an American Air plane turned around on the tarmac due to an excessively farting passenger. Apparently the methane couldn't be converted to jet fuel. When the passenger was removed, the rest of the fliers 'breathed a sigh of relief.' You can't make this stuff up.
Watching a Britcops show the other day deeply affected me. Some idiot did something stupid in a bar and got kicked out of the bar by the bouncers. The police were called. They did nothing to address whatever the idiot did inside the bar, but were terribly upset he 'used racial language' at the bouncers. I understand Brits have some sort of limited free speech, but it has apparently gone on vacation, never to return. In the US, freedom of speech, as guaranteed, is also in peril. There is no such thing as hate language; all speech is speech. But don't try telling this to the groups who whine about this sort of thing, where hate laws are in effect. Make no mistake - assault is assault and should be punished as such. Speech, however, should all be treated as speech. There should be no difference between calling someone a faggot and calling them a car mechanic. Also make no mistake - I have no tolerance for calling people any 'racial' names, but don't feel it rises to a punishment level.
As part of the many free services ThermionicEmissions provides, there is a debunking service. A common joke is that there is always a flight recorder in plane crashes, because it's made of certain metals, intended to be largely crash-proof. All comics ask, "Well why don't they make the whole plane out of this?" The answer is that it would never get off the ground. It would be too heavy.
You're welcome.
