"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Men, what say you?

In my college dorms I frequently peed in the girls bathroom if that was closest. Even when they were brushing their teeth. (Of course they had stalls, but I rarely bothered to close the door since I had my back turned etc.)

In short: Most Guys Will Pee Anywhere.

I would unpack the privilege in this but I think it amounts to: Most Guys Will Pee Anywhere Anytime They Want.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Huh. Cat declawing was just made illegal in NY.

Yeah, 'cuz they have to cut the tendons and all so it's rather a brutal mutilation.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

it's rather a brutal mutilation.

It is, but NY is the first state to outright make it illegal.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I read that Bruce Hay story and it is whackadoo. Sometimes I feel very boring, but then I read stuff like that and I think it's not so bad, honestly.

Our wings are not tired.

May I share a wild story? [link]

Okay, that makes me really grateful for my sane set of friends. That's a lot of crazy.

Coding and Sleeping

We tried to keep our IoT system secure. The hub validated with two way TLS authentication. Customer data was kept encrypted. We used the secure protocols devices provided. However, the devices themselves still had their problems. The device makers are always fighting cost and short cuts are taken, and the early standard protocol specifications did not take security seriously enough.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

In college, I lived in a coed dorm and we shared bathrooms. But there were stalls and showers/baths were in separate cubicles, so there wasn't much of an issue. Shocked my younger sister's boyfriend when he was there once.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I just heard the term IoT today, at work, spoken by someone who works on them for our company. So if it's out, it's also still in.
