I live on land stolen from the indigenous Dakota peoples in the treaties of 1837 & 1855.

A lot of my "About me..." is past stuff.
Here's what I might be doing now:
Fumbling to learn bass guitar and piano.
Practicing conversational Spanish
Being retired and trying not to sweat the future because humans can't predict diddly-squat. Economists do not meet the minimum qualification (human) for that assertion.
Accepting who I am (a couch potato)
Changing what I can (stop speaking like an old, cishet white guy.)
Being less reactive.
Living up to my wife and daughter's standards.

OK OK OK, wait. The Luddites WERE techonlogists. They were weavers who wanted to OWN the automated looms.

Maybe "Conservative Theory"?

Why did I not accept someone’s generous offer to follow me?

Because I couldn’t find enough ORIGINAL posts on their timeline to reassure me that they’re someone I wouldn’t follow back.

If someone prefers to boost instead of write their own, that’s fine! But I prefer your words and want to boost from the source when possible. And, I mutually follow.

We’re a network, a society.

Think of what you can do with the 7 old Alienwares I'm sending you!

The guy has 12 early investors that stand to lose everything if the brand dies with him. What are the odds one of them, or their friends, decides a little creative grave robbing would be a good strategy?

Messily, with much swearing.

But honestly, what’s the difference? A blade cuts off the undesirable bits and pitches them away. It’s only the angle of the cut.

It was, perhaps only USian, but every optometrist had a collection box for them.

"...an uptick in errors in the 401 classifictation."

Why not "...an increase in 40i errors"?

You can't expect the beneficiary of a farcical hillocky ceremony to question her power.

Besides, it's a pretty cool knife.
