John Ross from Washington just set a combine record with a 4.22 40 time.

Holy crap, that’s fast.

I ended up impulse buying the new Zelda for WiiU st Best Buy this afternoon. It’s pretty cool, and I’m not much of a Zelda fan to begin with.

I generally just call people like that assholes, regardless of where they fall on the political spectrum.

But if it makes you feel like you won because he checks off a particular box on your “bad hombre” checklist, then more power to ya.

That’s “The Nihlists” from Big Lebowski. You know, the dudes who hate everything.

Thought that was a pretty common movie reference…guess I was wrong.

Looking through his Twitter, it appears he hates…well…everyone. So he’s this, I guess.

This is a really good couple weeks to be a gamer:

– A new Nintendo console
– A new Zelda that some are calling not just the best Zelda game ever, but the best video game – period
– Horizon Zero Dawn and Nier Automata for PS4. Both look amazeballs.
– Torment: Tides of Numenara (semi-sequel to the classic Planescape: Torment) for PC.

That’s funny, our first bid was from Rob at Advanced Windows. I wasn’t at the appointment, but Mrs. Skinypupy thought he was a little sketchy. He didn’t measure any of the windows, then gave her a price quote that expired in 2 days because of “month end” promos. A little too high pressure for her taste.

The price he did give seemed pretty…[Read more]

Don’t get too excited about his talk of affordable child care. As with most things he does, it really only benefits the rich.

The heart of Trump’s plan is to significantly expand the tax deduction that families can take for child care expenses for kids under 13. Anyone making less than $250,000 ($500,000 if married) could deduct the average…

Did a little more digging this morning, and it looks like I did understand it correctly. From this article: Trump signals major shift on immigrants.

President Trump signaled a new openness on Tuesday to granting legal status to millions of undocumented immigrants who have not committed serious crimes.

The idea is a sharp break from the…

Either way, expanded HSA’s are a very minor part of a solution, and not the end-all, be-all they keep touting. Doubly so for low income families. The ability to put money you don’t have into an HSA does exactly…nothing.

Someone (Takei, I think) made an interesting observation after the speech. If you listen carefully, they’ve been very…[Read more]

Something that will only get exacerbated with the current significant push towards for-profit prisons.

For people currently here illegally, yes. His plan was deportation, then formal application for legal status, a process which most could never afford.

What he seemed to say tonight was that he favored a path for undocumented immigrants (without criminal records, of course) to gain citizenship. If I understood that correctly, then I applaud him…[Read more]

While I still don’t agree with any of his policy positions, I will give him credit for a few things tonight, in addition to some other random thoughts:

1. I was, frankly, stunned to hear him completely reverse course and talk about a path for legal immigration. This is something I would agree with him on, if he’s actually serious about it.…[Read more]
