Last Notes npub1rez5u3x267ngzxsv2fymfeeanhgr4mwsh689kh5h5kpqk5hcur5s4g7cw0 Perrin42 That might explain the "red scare" thing as well. He honestly doesn't know what year it is and is regressing back to the 50's. npub1rez5u3x267ngzxsv2fymfeeanhgr4mwsh689kh5h5kpqk5hcur5s4g7cw0 Perrin42 I was a trumpet player, but I did always enjoy the French Horn. npub1rez5u3x267ngzxsv2fymfeeanhgr4mwsh689kh5h5kpqk5hcur5s4g7cw0 Perrin42 When you feel like a written off actor on Deadwood npub1rez5u3x267ngzxsv2fymfeeanhgr4mwsh689kh5h5kpqk5hcur5s4g7cw0 Perrin42 Sweaty Harry npub1rez5u3x267ngzxsv2fymfeeanhgr4mwsh689kh5h5kpqk5hcur5s4g7cw0 Perrin42 28 Degrees Higher npub1rez5u3x267ngzxsv2fymfeeanhgr4mwsh689kh5h5kpqk5hcur5s4g7cw0 Perrin42 <sigh> npub1rez5u3x267ngzxsv2fymfeeanhgr4mwsh689kh5h5kpqk5hcur5s4g7cw0 Perrin42 Where the Red Fern Snores npub1rez5u3x267ngzxsv2fymfeeanhgr4mwsh689kh5h5kpqk5hcur5s4g7cw0 Perrin42 It is. But we made a lot of modifications to those planes to handle bigger and smaller engines. We ran fuel, hydraulic, power, and data lines to the #5 position because the CF34-8 was so much smaller than the production engines. npub1rez5u3x267ngzxsv2fymfeeanhgr4mwsh689kh5h5kpqk5hcur5s4g7cw0 Perrin42 Yup. It was also the first to have five running engines, utilizing the ferry pod location to test the CF34-8. npub1rez5u3x267ngzxsv2fymfeeanhgr4mwsh689kh5h5kpqk5hcur5s4g7cw0 Perrin42 https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/116/803/119/565/534/217/original/85d94bccd83e1730.jpg npub1rez5u3x267ngzxsv2fymfeeanhgr4mwsh689kh5h5kpqk5hcur5s4g7cw0 Perrin42 I'm no photographer, but I did get some nice shots occasionally. npub1rez5u3x267ngzxsv2fymfeeanhgr4mwsh689kh5h5kpqk5hcur5s4g7cw0 Perrin42 How dare you! Hehe, just kidding. Nice shots. I used to live near Plant 42, and I worked in Mojave and Victorville. Spent a couple thousand hours in N747GE and N747GF. npub1rez5u3x267ngzxsv2fymfeeanhgr4mwsh689kh5h5kpqk5hcur5s4g7cw0 Perrin42 I'm not sure if you noticed, but that's not an airplane Mr. Aviation Photography. npub1rez5u3x267ngzxsv2fymfeeanhgr4mwsh689kh5h5kpqk5hcur5s4g7cw0 Perrin42 🔴 🤯 ☠️ npub1rez5u3x267ngzxsv2fymfeeanhgr4mwsh689kh5h5kpqk5hcur5s4g7cw0 Perrin42 Fun fact, a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away I was contacted by an Air Force recruiter, a lieutenant colonel who left me a message. Me, being a dumb high school student, called back and asked to speak to "Lieutenant so-and-so." He was... not happy. npub1rez5u3x267ngzxsv2fymfeeanhgr4mwsh689kh5h5kpqk5hcur5s4g7cw0 Perrin42 The Enterprise Incident npub1rez5u3x267ngzxsv2fymfeeanhgr4mwsh689kh5h5kpqk5hcur5s4g7cw0 Perrin42 Excuse me, that's Lt. *Commander* Montgomery Scott. npub1rez5u3x267ngzxsv2fymfeeanhgr4mwsh689kh5h5kpqk5hcur5s4g7cw0 Perrin42 I don't know why, but you remind me of this. npub1rez5u3x267ngzxsv2fymfeeanhgr4mwsh689kh5h5kpqk5hcur5s4g7cw0 Perrin42 No, that's nunchucks. Nunya is a music genre that encompasses pop-oriented styles that emerged in the United States and United Kingdom in the mid- to late 1970s. npub1rez5u3x267ngzxsv2fymfeeanhgr4mwsh689kh5h5kpqk5hcur5s4g7cw0 Perrin42 Are these "people" in the room with us right now? npub1rez5u3x267ngzxsv2fymfeeanhgr4mwsh689kh5h5kpqk5hcur5s4g7cw0 Perrin42 Nah, I'm not that deep. I was just taking your quote out of context to change the meaning. Just trying to be funny. 😆 npub1rez5u3x267ngzxsv2fymfeeanhgr4mwsh689kh5h5kpqk5hcur5s4g7cw0 Perrin42 I always suspected that about you. npub1rez5u3x267ngzxsv2fymfeeanhgr4mwsh689kh5h5kpqk5hcur5s4g7cw0 Perrin42 So you're perfectly ok with "quotes ... taken out of context, changing their meanings."? npub1rez5u3x267ngzxsv2fymfeeanhgr4mwsh689kh5h5kpqk5hcur5s4g7cw0 Perrin42 Five Guys and Dolls npub1rez5u3x267ngzxsv2fymfeeanhgr4mwsh689kh5h5kpqk5hcur5s4g7cw0 Perrin42 Burger King Lear npub1rez5u3x267ngzxsv2fymfeeanhgr4mwsh689kh5h5kpqk5hcur5s4g7cw0 Perrin42 Why do people act like Rocky was the "twist" in Project Hail Mary? There was a twist, and a pretty big one at that, but it wasn't Rocky. npub1rez5u3x267ngzxsv2fymfeeanhgr4mwsh689kh5h5kpqk5hcur5s4g7cw0 Perrin42 So did WOPR. npub1rez5u3x267ngzxsv2fymfeeanhgr4mwsh689kh5h5kpqk5hcur5s4g7cw0 Perrin42 And Congress will do exactly... nothing. npub1rez5u3x267ngzxsv2fymfeeanhgr4mwsh689kh5h5kpqk5hcur5s4g7cw0 Perrin42 Be like KITT - Turbo boost! npub1rez5u3x267ngzxsv2fymfeeanhgr4mwsh689kh5h5kpqk5hcur5s4g7cw0 Perrin42 You Have No Sense or Sensibility npub1rez5u3x267ngzxsv2fymfeeanhgr4mwsh689kh5h5kpqk5hcur5s4g7cw0 Perrin42 What do you call a baby ocelot? npub1rez5u3x267ngzxsv2fymfeeanhgr4mwsh689kh5h5kpqk5hcur5s4g7cw0 Perrin42 It's a Temple of Elemental Evil, not a Research Lab of Elemental Evil. It's a matter of faith. npub1rez5u3x267ngzxsv2fymfeeanhgr4mwsh689kh5h5kpqk5hcur5s4g7cw0 Perrin42 Many years ago I worked at a bookstore and had to set up an endcap display for the Dummies books. I decided to tell a story - Relationships for Dummies, Sex For Dummies, Weddings, Marriage, Parenting, College, etc. Most people didn't get it, but it was all worth it when one person stopped, took a longer look, and laughed. npub1rez5u3x267ngzxsv2fymfeeanhgr4mwsh689kh5h5kpqk5hcur5s4g7cw0 Perrin42 Wedding Fondue Bars for Dummies npub1rez5u3x267ngzxsv2fymfeeanhgr4mwsh689kh5h5kpqk5hcur5s4g7cw0 Perrin42 The Seven Cheeses of Highly Effective People npub1rez5u3x267ngzxsv2fymfeeanhgr4mwsh689kh5h5kpqk5hcur5s4g7cw0 Perrin42 "I look forward to being with President Xi." In a biblical sense? Like he was with Bubba? npub1rez5u3x267ngzxsv2fymfeeanhgr4mwsh689kh5h5kpqk5hcur5s4g7cw0 Perrin42 Don't get eaten by a grue! npub1rez5u3x267ngzxsv2fymfeeanhgr4mwsh689kh5h5kpqk5hcur5s4g7cw0 Perrin42 I think that's called crop dusting. npub1rez5u3x267ngzxsv2fymfeeanhgr4mwsh689kh5h5kpqk5hcur5s4g7cw0 Perrin42 And it's better if people aren't too long-winded when tooting. npub1rez5u3x267ngzxsv2fymfeeanhgr4mwsh689kh5h5kpqk5hcur5s4g7cw0 Perrin42 Beans, beans, the magical fruit. npub1rez5u3x267ngzxsv2fymfeeanhgr4mwsh689kh5h5kpqk5hcur5s4g7cw0 Perrin42 I thought exactly the same. npub1rez5u3x267ngzxsv2fymfeeanhgr4mwsh689kh5h5kpqk5hcur5s4g7cw0 Perrin42 It never sounded right to me; it sounded like too much street sound, which to be fair is what it sounds like if you're there in person, but it felt like someone left their mic unmuted in a Teams meeting. 😆 npub1rez5u3x267ngzxsv2fymfeeanhgr4mwsh689kh5h5kpqk5hcur5s4g7cw0 Perrin42 I immediately thought of the Prestige as well! Also, KTLA has been my go-to for watching The parade for almost 50 years, but they were struggling this year. Audio was awful the whole way through. npub1rez5u3x267ngzxsv2fymfeeanhgr4mwsh689kh5h5kpqk5hcur5s4g7cw0 Perrin42 The price of RAM is approaching or exceeding the price of rams: npub1rez5u3x267ngzxsv2fymfeeanhgr4mwsh689kh5h5kpqk5hcur5s4g7cw0 Perrin42 I really don't get the "I want privacy for my public posts" position people take. "I'm going to post something publicly, but I certainly don't want anyone to read or engage with it!" npub1rez5u3x267ngzxsv2fymfeeanhgr4mwsh689kh5h5kpqk5hcur5s4g7cw0 Perrin42 I can't wait until we have a vaccine for this. It always hits me hard when I get it. npub1rez5u3x267ngzxsv2fymfeeanhgr4mwsh689kh5h5kpqk5hcur5s4g7cw0 Perrin42 It's November, right? I mean, it's really November? I recall having to wear a sweater to school in November in the LA suburbs... npub1rez5u3x267ngzxsv2fymfeeanhgr4mwsh689kh5h5kpqk5hcur5s4g7cw0 Perrin42 The cruelty is the point. npub1rez5u3x267ngzxsv2fymfeeanhgr4mwsh689kh5h5kpqk5hcur5s4g7cw0 Perrin42 I am truly honored. This will go right next to shaking Neil Armstrong's hand in my book of memories. May I screenshot this comment as my profile picture? npub1rez5u3x267ngzxsv2fymfeeanhgr4mwsh689kh5h5kpqk5hcur5s4g7cw0 Perrin42 That may be one of the best things anyone has ever said to me. npub1rez5u3x267ngzxsv2fymfeeanhgr4mwsh689kh5h5kpqk5hcur5s4g7cw0 Perrin42 😆 npub1rez5u3x267ngzxsv2fymfeeanhgr4mwsh689kh5h5kpqk5hcur5s4g7cw0 Perrin42 I've had very good luck with this one: npub1rez5u3x267ngzxsv2fymfeeanhgr4mwsh689kh5h5kpqk5hcur5s4g7cw0 Perrin42 Which game is this? npub1rez5u3x267ngzxsv2fymfeeanhgr4mwsh689kh5h5kpqk5hcur5s4g7cw0 Perrin42 Sorry for the scattershot distribution, but - Imagine the situation where #Trump decides to start selling M-1 Abrams tanks, F-22's, and F-23's to Russia in a lend-lease program backed by future mineral rights within Ukraine territory. Can anyone tell me that this is impossible? Or even difficult? Please? npub1rez5u3x267ngzxsv2fymfeeanhgr4mwsh689kh5h5kpqk5hcur5s4g7cw0 Perrin42 I disabled my Facebook account about 15 years ago on an attempt to *preserve* relationships with people that were posting hateful and wrong content. It wasn't enough. But I also lost other relationships entirely, good friends that built every social event on Facebook and didn't bother reaching out separately. So there is a cost, but it's worth paying. npub1rez5u3x267ngzxsv2fymfeeanhgr4mwsh689kh5h5kpqk5hcur5s4g7cw0 Perrin42 Back when I was working retail, a little troll of a human came into the store and was making a major pain of himself by demanding something impossible. To get him out of the store, I had him write down his name and number in an order card. For name, he put down "Computer God." I threw the card away. npub1rez5u3x267ngzxsv2fymfeeanhgr4mwsh689kh5h5kpqk5hcur5s4g7cw0 Perrin42 Good judgement comes from experience. npub1rez5u3x267ngzxsv2fymfeeanhgr4mwsh689kh5h5kpqk5hcur5s4g7cw0 Perrin42 My first programming language! Took a class in high school, although I had done some basic batch scripting previously. npub1rez5u3x267ngzxsv2fymfeeanhgr4mwsh689kh5h5kpqk5hcur5s4g7cw0 Perrin42 I once saw it written as "read the *friendly* manual, but I already knew the real meaning. npub1rez5u3x267ngzxsv2fymfeeanhgr4mwsh689kh5h5kpqk5hcur5s4g7cw0 Perrin42 There's a lot of things Biden could do, but won't. Republicans are "effective" because they will use power maximally (and beyond) and shamelessly. Democrats are ineffective because they won't. They are more concerned with acting "in good faith" while refusing to recognize that their counterparts haven't done so since at least 1980. The party of America's enemies has won because Democrats prefer to preserve collegiality while our social contract is burned in front of them. npub1rez5u3x267ngzxsv2fymfeeanhgr4mwsh689kh5h5kpqk5hcur5s4g7cw0 Perrin42 Make sure the first thing you label is the label maker itself! 😆 npub1rez5u3x267ngzxsv2fymfeeanhgr4mwsh689kh5h5kpqk5hcur5s4g7cw0 Perrin42 During COVID lockdowns, it wasn't the CEO's and other executives that were considered "essential workers." npub1rez5u3x267ngzxsv2fymfeeanhgr4mwsh689kh5h5kpqk5hcur5s4g7cw0 Perrin42 This has been a problem for so long. I'm a techie too, but I look at any technology and ask myself - could my mom use this without my help? The answer is usually no. My mom is not technical, and she is going to take the path of least resistance. She's not going to learn Linux, or use the UDM-14 trick, or any of the other things technical people see as normal or easy. npub1rez5u3x267ngzxsv2fymfeeanhgr4mwsh689kh5h5kpqk5hcur5s4g7cw0 Perrin42 Did you have a case on it? 😆 npub1rez5u3x267ngzxsv2fymfeeanhgr4mwsh689kh5h5kpqk5hcur5s4g7cw0 Perrin42 https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/113/166/082/691/193/368/original/868349e42713bb45.mp4
