Random thoughts that don't warrant a thread

Sons & grandsons came up in a UHaul truck to shuffle some furniture around from late grandson’s townhouse condo.
Switching the loveseat in my man cave room with his full size leather couch that features two powered recliners (it used to belong to his dad).

The loveseat, a small barrel chair, another couch and a leather recliner will be divided up between Son2 and his oldest boy who is moving out to room with friends down in San Marcos.

Starting to notice more and more labels say “made in PRC”, and im guessing its a pretty deliberate choice because they think its more palatable to more people than “made in China”

I'm sure it is intentional because of the high percentage of morons in this world who don't know what PRC stands for.

Is that close to the people’s republic of Austin?

For power switchs that are labeled “I/O” ive never in my life intuited which one means on and which means off

If it's off and you want it on, just flip the switch.  If it's on and you want it off, just flip the switch.  Otherwise, just leave the switch alone.

I can’t ride amusement rides or even those motion simulators where you sit in a chair and watch a 3D movie. 10 seconds in and I feel like projectile vomiting.

Kind of defeats the purpose of us getting season passes to Universal Studios, but at least the kids are old enough to go on rides by themselves.

 

OTOH, Super Nintendo Land is badass. It opened last Friday and it was crowded as hell. The line to the ride was 2 hours long, but they did a really good job with the queuing area making passing the time go just a little faster. Even though it’s a Mario Kart type ride, it didn’t move all that much and was fun as hell.

So this bomb just got dropped on me. My brother in law was held at gunpoint last night at his place of work, they forced him into their car, and he was let out on the side of the road alive. They stole all of the money in the register and took his car. Got the car back a few hours later after they were pulled over by highway patrol. Dude is lucky to be alive.

That’s fucked up. Any speculation on why they took him?

No idea. I guess they didn't want any witnesses but he doesn't have a cell phone. They probably ditched him thinking he's harmless (which he is but these people didn't know that). I really want to ask him the details but honestly I'm just glad he's alive and the rest of it is extra.

Fact: waterfall showerhead just makes life better.

 

Anyone use Outlook Online in dark mode?  makes it almost impossible to recognize unread email (bolded) right?

 

I avoid dark mode. This is apparently a very hot take in the software world, but the impact on your vision is real.

Meh, Elvis didn’t move the needle much early on.
Friend of my brother had a local band that opened for him when he played the Skyline Ballroom about 1955.

Glen Campbell's first gig in CA was playing the bowling alley in Pomona on Tuesday nights.

I understand Bonnie Raitt is a talented singer. But she is as much as a blues singer as I am pro bowl left tackle in the NFL. Somebody is lying.

She's a fucking fantastic singer.

Yup. Was trying to get him to commit to saying that only people with the proper melanin level can be blues singers. But that’s a sliding scale, isn’t it? Just how much melanin do you need to be qualified to sing the blues?

Tell me Joe Cocker isn't a blues singer, and I'll tell you to fuck off.

We live right smack dab between an elementary and middle school. About a 5 minute walk in either direction.

My wife drove the kids to school today…

My ex-wife was a shitty human, but she walked my kid to school from K-5.

Same same. I won't even caravan with my ladyfriend down to the coast. "How about we leave at the same time instead drive our own pace so I get there an hour sooner and get checked in and unpacked"
I'm not trying to spend 6 hours driving to port A

You don't ride in the same vehicle as your special lady?

He kidnapped himself.  He owes money all over town.
