I think I literally just heard someone refer to the Great Pyramid of Giza as "that geezers pyramid."

Recent client issue...

Client: I have no sound
Me: Okay, are your speakers plugged in?
Client: Yes
Me: Where?
Client: In the front of computer.
Me: In headphone jack?
Clients: Yes, that's where they've always been.
Me: Hmm, okay. Well can you try and plug them into the back of computer in the green jack?
Client: Okay
Me: ....waiting
Client: Okay, still nothing coming out.
Me: Weird. settings is still saying nothing is plugged in.

'Tried some other things and he gave me some more information about some other stuff.'

Me: Okay I will head there to check some stuff out.

...

I get there and immediately look at the back of the computer...

The damn speakers are plugged into the BLUE jack NOT the GREEN jack.

I plug them into the green jack and sound immediately starts to come from the speakers!

Client: Oh, WOW. I though that was green. Looks green to me.
Me: screaming silently

"Reporters are not hired for their reading ability. They’re hired for their rolodexes. People who can read are given other titles and treated as second-class members of the newsroom.

Which is a pity, bc reading (or reading someone who has done the reading, even) is a good way to avoid being used."

You tend not to get network traffic on a ethernet cable that's NOT plugged in. 🤦

Dr. Phil's got a new book out, "We've Got Issues."

He writes about the need for common sense and the importance of it returning in order for us to find our way out of this current societal bedlam.

Really?

Common sense??

That's all you got, Dr. Phil!?!?!? #ComeOnMan #drphil
