Oomf.  Lions exited that turd at the last possible moment & it was partly from stig aviation.  Sometimes you get lucky.  The money they burned keeping everyone employed in 2020 ended up costing them in the long term while airlines which unloaded employees in 2020 did better.  Starting to look like the next Pan Am, Northwest, etc.

Finally noticed 1 of these retirement fund equal to 10x your salary memes said "starting".  So it's 10x the fast food job or whatever the minimum to survive was.


Considering what would happen if lions went back to what they were doing at age 10, the fact is they spent a lot of time just watching TV in those days.  It would take a serious decline in health to go back to doing that, yet that's what all the attainable women did.

The most likely outcome is to go back to writing useless toy programs & games in 1 endless summer.

The vacuum cleaner cleaning tools were a long time coming.  Lions have now made many pliers.  They seem to be the most useful lion machine interface.  They're definitely breakable but the hope is they break with more force than required.  A key revelation was how hot snot could be a grip surface.  PLA wears down metal so they need an isolation layer.  The big question is how long they'll last.

Lions pondered if someone else with similar vacuum cleaning needs would buy it for more than the cost of making it.  They burned $2 of filament.

Lions long viewed the neighborhoods bordering the office park as the primest locations.  New construction is always the cheapest time in a house's lifetime.  The houses being

 Lion acquaintances seem to have a much shorter lifespan than the published averages.  55-65 seems to be the norm.  Maybe life expectancy is a camel like inflation.  Die by 60 or make it through the great filter & hit 100.   ---------------------------------------------------- Ongoing struggles with Xfinity/Comca$t convinced lions they're now better off renting the XFI gateway than attempting to use a 3rd party modem.  It wasn't this way in 2016 when activating a 3rd party modem was straightforward.  That modem lasted until 2022 but seemed to not survive the migration to a monopoly.  In 2016, AT&T was a viable alternative.  By 2022, Commie was the only option. 3rd party modems are no longer supported via online activation.  It's not clear why the app provides an option to activate a 3rd party modem that merely redirects to the xfi gateway activation & fails when it tries to configure the gateway.  The modem goes into walled garden mode where you get DHCP, DNS, b

 Finally watched Creepshow, 40 years after rereading the comic book many times by flashlight. The highlight visually might have been the now vintage Apple II which was cutting edge in those days. Nothing utterly terrifying.  Better writing than anything current.  Only slightly deviates from the comic book. The highlight emotionally might have been when after feeding his wife to the warewolf, the now liberated man sits down to doing anything he wants.  The big deviation was the warewolf escaping in the end, while the comic book kept him trapped underwater. The zombies might have been easier on the eyes than the single women. The original comic book is now on archive.org with a 1 hour free trial.  With a 4k monitor, all you need to do is screencap it while turning the pages.  The raw images are very high res but a 4k screencap is still higher than any animal would actually read it in. Helas, the center page crease is cropped off. There's enough in a 2850x1890 screen cap to remember w
