Speaking of Pandora, I really need to put a stopwatch by my desk so I can time a random sampling of songs every day.
It sure as heck feels like the songs that come on that I hate, but that I'm too busy to thumbs-down at the moment because I'm busy, run at least 50% longer than any other songs!

Growing up in Bourbon County required me to do a few things
1) drink bourbon, although at the time, none was distilled within county limits
2) acquire, during college, a Bourbon County sign.With the help of one of my fraternity brothers, said sign was acquired. Cars passing by saw two college age men, one appearing to be helping the other who was in the midst of experiencing a stomach purge.
That sign may (or may not) have been a wedding present to a fellow who worked in the spirits industry.
Ah, stealing signs. Fond memories.

My boss loves it when all he gets are issues that shouldn't have even come to IT. He sees them as easy wins and ways to get completion percentages to go up.
I see them as annoying time wasters that take me away from doing the projects I need to be working on, which are ultimately more conducive to better productivity for everybody.
And from working on actual problems.
Today felt like a LOT of wasted time.
Got covid-tested today, it was much less unpleasant than expected. Like someone else was picking my nose!
(I'm pretty certain I have MRSA or one of my other usual suspects, but better safe than needing a sudden ventilator.)

You really need to up your search-fu if you're running out of porn. There's more porn currently in existence than you will be alive long enough to watch.

You can do that without Flash Player. In fact you *should* do that without Flash Player.
Contrary to what you might be hoping for, Flash Player does not play flashers. It just makes a gigantic never-ending security hole for malevolent hackers, who frequently entice their victims using porn.
You might need a separate device to keep your viewing habits away from anything important.

Well, after looking at another house, this one very close to Mom's, and getting a realtor friend of hers from her Lions Club to see what he could dig up, we've determined that we are going ahead with just changing things around in our own place and not moving. And WW has sent his mother a lengthy email to that effect.
And while the garage is being emptied and fixed up, we're temporarily going to put his office in the breakfast room (instead of it being mostly Legos and art supplies) so we can go ahead with turning his office into Val's room so at least we can get the kids separated FIRST, and then we'll work on swapping our room and Hermione's. So hopefully we can at least get them into their own rooms within the next couple of weeks, and maybe even have the garage finished by Halloween so I can get my breakfast room back.
Wishful thinking, I know, but at least by that point we won't need an AC unit yet, just a space heater, which we already have.
Oh man this alias made me laugh! Needed that.
Thank Maneater, it's the inspiration.

That’s what you think.
Freehold’s goal in life is a massive command center with a wall of TV monitors - at least 30 - each showing a different pornographic video, 24 hours a day.
Eventually he is going to have to change the filters to allow all the foot fetish stuff.

Huh. Funk music, cheesy expositions and lots of overarched backs that don't seem to be actually enjoying the experience never did it for me, personally, but I don't judge.
Seriously though, they needed to learn to turn down that funk music. It is distractingly loud.

While the surface is shaking, any characters on it must make a successful DC 12 Acrobatics check each round to avoid falling prone. Remember that while making these checks, characters are considered to be flat-footed.
Er... what? There is nothing anywhere in the rules that makes you flat-footed on an unstable surface. The rules on difficult terrain simply say, "Difficult terrain is any terrain that impedes your movement, ranging from particularly rough or unstable surfaces...", and it just impedes your movement speed. Even the 8th-level Earthquake spell says, "Each creature standing in the area must make a DC 15 Reflex save or fall down."
Nothing on flat-footed there.
The definition of being flat-footed says, "A character who has not yet acted during a combat is flat-footed, unable to react normally to the situation."
So, why is this so important?
Because the moment the surface starts shaking, a lone rogue attacks the party. And the only way the author could think of to make a lone rogue effective was to make up some ridiculous rules on being flat-footed on unstable surfaces.
Yet again, the AP is simply making up rules to give the bad guys an advantage. It's really amazingly frustrating, as you can tell from my repeated posts on the topic.

Check the description of Acrobatics skill - I think the author referred to this:
"You can use Acrobatics to move on narrow surfaces and uneven ground without falling. A successful check allows you to move at half speed across such surfaces—only one check is needed per round. Use the following table to determine the base DC, which is then modified by the Acrobatics skill modifiers noted below. While you are using Acrobatics in this way, you are considered flat-footed and lose your Dexterity bonus to your AC (if any)."
Though I am unconvinced that "shaking" ground should count as "uneven".

Well, at least you found something. I'd looked at the skill (because it's obviously the correct location) but that whole section looked like "narrow surfaces" to me. I missed the "uneven ground" part.
But yeah, it's a heck of a stretch to relate the two. "Without falling" and "falling prone" are two VERY different things -- one is falling OFF of the narrow surface, and the other is just falling over while still ON the surface. And if that's the rule being used, then the "move at half speed" comes into play, and that's not mentioned.
So I'll say, OK, you found it. There's actually a rule that's being twisted beyond recognition in there, and it's not being made up whole cloth.
Somehow it doesn't make me feel a heck of a lot better about the whole thing...

"We refuse to wear masks pants because they want to throw God's wonderful breathing peeing system out."
"I have the right not to wear a mask pants. This is America, g*****n it! You have no right to refuse me service just because I refuse to wear a mask pants in your store!"
"Wearing a mask pants forces you to rebreathe your own CO2 re-absorb your own urine, which is obviously far unhealthier for the body than COVID-19!"
Sorry. Just getting utterly sick of the large number of people here in the U.S. who have basically said, "Ah, well. Our lack of action before caused this to become endemic, so the obvious solution is to take no action now," and who are forcing me to look forward to 18 more months stuck in my house until they've found an effective vaccine without horrible side effects. Which I don't think will be true of revision I of the vaccine.
All I know is bandanas and masks aren't as much fun or as easy when your cartilage for your nose is only attached on one side. So I only wear one when I have to.
You can judge me all you want I'm cool with it but it feels weird.

If you don't throw a fit and refuse to wear one into a store whose sign clearly says, "Masks required," then I really don't have an issue.
On our walks around here we have the masks around our necks, and when we see someone approaching in the other direction we put them on just long enough to pass the other people.
Works well, supports the purpose, you don't have to wear it 100% of the time, and it's a nice little acknowledgement to your fellow pedestrian that you're looking out for them.

As Governor Abbott is continuing to dick around while cases in our state skyrocket and I'm supposed to go back into my classroom in eleven more days... yeah. Masks are dandy.
Every time I go out to get groceries and see an entire family out, no masks on any of them, I want to slap the hell out of the parents and see them charged with criminal f***ing neglect.
Meanwhile my 81-year-old mother-in-law was on the phone last night complaining about being "forced into retirement" and plaintively guilt-tripping her son about when she is going to be "allowed to see her grandchildren". And saying that she's only going shopping in Big Lots and going to her church (but it's okay because they're having communion in the parking lot) because "psychiatric care is very expensive". I told WW to tell her that a couple of weeks in the ICU would be a damned sight more expensive than psychiatric care. He repeated it and she suddenly pretended her hearing aid was on the fritz again.
I suddenly understand why the STD rates are the highest among senior citizens.
It's not that they don't know any better. They're just self-absorbed and have stopped bothering to worry about consequences.

In more upbeat news, it looks like subscribing to Disney+ is indeed a "go".
Why?
Because I just learned today that for the first month of the shutdown, Disney continued to pay all of their park employees. When that became infeasible and they had to furlough them, they continued to pay 100% of their health insurance benefits.
So they really do seem to have tried to avoid being ruthless and evil. I'll willing to shoot 'em $7 a month for that.

There is a certain fatalism in the 70+ crowd...especially the 77+ crowd. Many of them feel like they are on borrowed time, or that they have exceeded life expectancy.
Couple that with a dose of - my parts are failing and I am miserable (arthritis, dementia, gout, diabetes, or whatever) and the 'keep living' decision calculus may not always weigh the same way on a given day.
And you are left with - I may only have two years left, I will not further inmiserablate myself by imposing this additional burden on myself. If it kills me, that may be okay too.
