Re: Today I learned …
I was actually named after my dad, Nels. (My mother soften the blow by at least anglicizing.) Apparently their was a mini-boom in the name because of the moon landing—I was born a couple months before—but I've never encountered any of them. I knew a few Neils in my day. Sad, pathetic wretches all. ...

Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread
How does this get spun by the right? Wokeness on ships instead proper training? Big government interfering with the market forces that would have kept the power going? Pedophile ring on the ship? NATO whores seducing the crew? (Sorry, that last one is on the left.) edit: Obvious omission: Chinese C...

Re: Today I learned …
… Ronald Reagan had an older brother, Neil Reagan. He was three years older and died in the mid-90s. No scandal attached to him, just someone who did his own thing and stayed out of the limelight. I'm surprised that you didn't know about him since you were named after him, after all. :shifty: I was...

Re: I saw Tep today, a little worried about him...
Yet every damned one on your employee evaluations specifically mentions "Stayed alive during the entire previous fiscal year. Tied for first in the company." I'm the most alive one, somehow. If it were a Twilight Zone episode, at the end you'd smile and decide you wanted to live, and then you'd get...

Re: I saw Tep today, a little worried about him...
You're a good person to have on staff when symbolic cuts need to be made. I think I've served that purpose in a number of places. I've made it through 3 layoffs at my org since 2020, I must be doing something right... Sounds like someone wants to live a bit too much! Sheer happenstance, I assure yo...

Son, that kind of attitude won't get you the corner office.

There can be more than one drug song, you know. True enough, I actually have three (3) songs on the album about how much I resent work. Son, that kind of attitude won't get you the corner office.

Re: Flex and Wolter's Den of Nerdly Awesomeness
I can't believe comic book fans are that oblivious, but I can buy that the Very Online kind are. Like, Christ, the X-Men was never subtle about it social commentary almost from the start. Yes, and Planet of the Apes is just about talking gorillas on horses. I think there's probably a large number o...
