Evidently, Sleepy Joe convinced Howard Stern to work on a Friday to do a 1 on 1 interview.
I'm not sure what's more shocking: Stern working on a Friday or a sitting president sitting down for an interview with Stern.

NTP66's thread of IT
Yeah, I built one in January 2023 (It seems like it was just a few months ago, but nope, over a year!) Very similar specs: I went with the 7600X as it was on sale at the time. I went with the ROG Strix B650 E-F motherboard, same CPU cooler (which is excellent especially at that price point). I kept ...

No, I guess not. Just that she's ridiculously young to be fully retired. And how I never thought she would actually do it so early, as she's loved being a teacher. Just driven out of the profession by craven administrators, dimwitted politicians, and entitled ignorant parents.

My wife is beginning to make noises about retirement. Basically, she can retire next year with a full state pension. At age 50, after 30 years as a teacher (yes, she graduated early from high school/college and got her Masters degree before I got my BA, and I'm a year older. She's one of THOSE peopl...

Hey @Gaucho do you know why the German versions of The Expanse books omit the S.A. from the author(s)' names?
I'm assuming it's a reference to the Sturmabteilung, but could it be something else?

The all of a sudden tryout was a passive aggressive way my son's baseball coach used to get him off the team. My son basically was done with baseball and it was very evident to the entire team and coaches that his heart wasn't into it. The team played their last game of the season in late June, and ...

Crazy **** going on at a neighboring high school. Two days in a row, bomb threats were called into the school. The twist today was that one call went to one police department that said there was an active shooter on campus. At the same time, another call went to the county police and said there was ...

Shōgun, episode 10 - the finale They stuck the landing. Letting Yabu linger for those few extra moments was cold, but earned. I'm glad the showrunners held their bravery and refrained from the pointless spectacle of a giant battle sequence, and please do not do a Season 2. A flower is only a flower...

tifosi77's thread of Musk
I logged in to Twitter for a quick drive by and noticed that Morgan Freeman was trending. Uh oh! Is he promoting a new film? Or worse, has he passed away?
Nope, he praised Elon Musk. So Elmo goosed the algo or the fanboys came out and did it for him. Nice.

My wife got an orchid from one of her students at the end of the last school year. It bloomed for a few months and we just continued to water it...very infrequently. Like sometimes a month between waterings :lol: I've almost thrown it out a couple of times, but the leaves have remained green. Well t...

That particular machine was the first I used, and when it jammed, the staffer cleaned it out while I got the print job started on another machine. When that went down with the bad feeder gear, I went back to the first machine - which was newly cleaned. They do get heavily used and they have reels an...

So stage one (the lid) is done: https://i.imgur.com/aU75k2u.jpg Very durable, solid feel to it. Lots of issues with printing, of course. First of all, I picked a blue filament to print with. This was an older filament and had absorbed a lot of humidity which clogs the nozzles. They have to dehydrate...

It was closed somewhere between the stadium and the station before you go up to Mount Washington last summer when we were there. Same place?

In 12 years. With sliding doors and the heat down here that kills batteries.Nah, none near me. Also, you having to replace a battery three times is one hell of an endorsement.
I have one in our '17 Accord that's 4 years old and still strong.

Do you have O'Reilly's up there? I've had great luck with their batteries and the warranty is great. I bought one battery for our Odyssey and they replaced it 3 times for free.
