    We took a cruise for our honeymoon.

    On that cruise we stopped in Cozumel.

    In Cozumel there was this shady little zoo that had manatees that we fed lettuce.

    Later there was a sea lion show, and he walked around after getting pets from the crowd.

    I couldn’t believe how much that sea lion felt exactly like our German Shorthair Pointer. Like, same exact coat.

    Anyway that’s the whole point of the story. Sea lions feel like shorthaired dogs.








  • Security and messaging is tricky to get right. Government uses a lot of COTS stuff because it’s easier to have someone to sue when shit goes south.

    That’s not to say that everything involved here isn’t a flagrant violation of every protocol and procedure involved in protecting classified information. It is.








  • That’s cool, but a lot of people (myself included) aren’t able to justify a brand new laptop. I can absolutely afford a new laptop…I just have no desire to buy one when older ones work just fine and have plenty of life in them.

    My current laptop is a T495 that I bought at a flea market two years ago for $100 and it still handles all of my needs completely fine. My kid is using a T470 I bought not too long before that for around the same price, and it does everything he needs too (though it could stand to handle Minecraft JE a bit better…but in fairness he installs nearly every mod he finds and I never really taught him about adjusting settings).

    If you aren’t doing high-end gaming or video editing, practically any computer can handle like 95% of other daily home computer tasks.

    That said, his laptop speakers are blown…so maybe it’s time I start looking for an upgrade for me. Kids are good for that type of stuff. Still remember convincing my wife we needed to get him a Switch for Christmas…his first Christmas. I wouldn’t buy myself a switch…but for my 5 month old kid? Yeah he needs Breath of the Wild.
