Officials seal doors of Pope Francis’s personal residence
Senior cardinals have locked and sealed the doors of Pope Francis’s personal residence in the Apostolic Palace following his death on Monday.

The entire religion is based upon the belief that doing shit like that is not effective

I went to school with Sheriff Baxter. Nice to see some of the Jefferson graduates did something positive. Usually they would be the criminals

I'm in the computer room, lying under the desk, rearranging some of the wires.

From the kitchen my wife calls to me, "Are you done with this?"

"Yep!" I reply.

I have no idea what she is talking about. I continue to untangle wires.

One of the priceless moments of being married 30 years.

Speaking of random..

The BBC posted a link to a YouTube randomizer. I quickly bookmarked it and it's soon to be one of my favorite sites. There's no algorithms, just random videos. Granted, most of them are mundane and not in English ( that poses no problem for me) but it shows a normal cross section of what YouTube really is.

Link, almost forgot...

The thing you have to understand about Japanese culture is that it is considered extremely dishonorable to siphon millions of dollars from your employer and spend it on BetMGM.

I've been watching this story. At first knowing nothing about it I wondered what in the world he did that was so bad. This is EXTREMELY bad in Japanese culture. While they may work salarymen to death there, etc.. there is a huge responsibility with being a higher up in a company. A big example of this is when say Nintendo or Toyota loses a lot of money based on a corporate decision. Instead of them "restructuring the company", firing people to cut costs, etc.. they do perhaps a bit of that but mainly the CEO is forced to give up a large portion of his salary so the people under them keep their jobs.

To just gamble away company profits is extremely dishonorable.

Since the election I've wanted to see the news headlines, only do it in a way that I don't have to constantly look at pictures of the president (usually with his mouth open) A text only browser works well for this, only don't try and use it with a search engine, I might be a bot!

Confused, images (well, videos) are the #1 thing I consume from the internet. Don't tell me you're still a Playboy magazine guy like my dad.

Surfing the web without images? That's like watching a movie with the sound off!

I've had both of them for years. Unless it was a recent update that's causing it

Who is your carrier?

On T-Mobile, I think the app is called AppSelector. Disabling it would prevent unauthorized installs from T-Mo. I'm sure you have something similar.

Hehehehe, were you looking hard at her box?

I found an old Playboy VHS tape. About halfway through the tape there's a Flashdance-like sequence where a naked woman dances on a stage with a boombox in the background. I rewound and pased the clip multiple times... trying to figure out what kind of boombox it was. I think it's a JVC but I'm not sure.

You know what's worse than seeing an ambulance in the driveway of the nice old lady's house down the street?

discovering that it's really a Medical Examiner van.

Oh well... One less Christmas card next year

The fact that Android allows that shit is unfathomable.

There's an app on your phone that installs that shit. You have to figure out what that app is, and disable it. (I dont think you can uninstall it because Android).
