sophia went to a commie hippe school, pass it on.
You'd never make it. I'd rip your spine out before you got half a step. Those little legs wouldn't be much good without one of those.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
What is this? I am intrigued and also feel shortchanged by my education.
It was a variant of shop class. I also took mechanical drawing. But this was hydraulics, which was super fun, and meant building stuff that moved with tubes and cylinders and valves and whatnot. But required social interaction and cooperation. I got a C. The horror!
...And then I ended up working for five years at SMC Pneumatics. Hahaha.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Oh- our phys ed grade wasn't counted in our academic average. It was a letter grade and all the other grades were number grades/
Lucky ducks. A lot of us non-jocks thought we should have the same system.

Power is still browned-out. I'm just surfing the intertubes on my MacBook Pro. Meanwhile, my boss went home to get a power meeter to see what's going on. (He's an engineering geek, but otherwise outside of geek culture.)

Thrive to spite them
I do know people who think like that, I've run across a few in online.
Like the guy who said passing Obamacare meant people would stop working because they were getting something for free and it's like feeding birds.

They keep using that word-- I don't think it means what they think it means.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Just got back from taking the kids to see Brave. I bawled like a baby. And Olivia is Merida. I swear, she looked up at me and said, "see what happens when you boss people around."

I'm very sorry about your husband, Dana.
Many Birthday Happies, Hec!
So relieved the court ruled that way.

Crap. We are having brownouts here, perhaps because of the 98 degree heat. My UPS saved my work computer the first few times, but not the last.
We have this deal with the power company that when there is regional high demand, we run run as many systems as possible off the generators to reduce our load on the grid. They used to cycle the AC, but they can't do that anymore because the computer rooms already run a bit too warm.
Guess what happened today? I was surprised, since we had a longer run of hot weather a while back, and this one is just starting. I guess this is a wider-spread heat wave?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Whenever someone says something like that, I always think it's much more telling about the speaker than about the society they think is about to collapse.
