You're right. I'm an idiot.

We're talking about the way a TV show starts called CSI: MIAMI.

Basically, there's always a clever remark from the lead, followed by the opening credits accompanied by part of a song by The Who.

Queue loud song by The Who...

We need to organize an underground railroad for LGBTQ+, minorities, and dissidents now.

Where are you planning to go? I'm inclined to want to leave, but I have no idea where to go.

PC Load Letter? What does that even mean?

Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos.

I expect I'll remain dead unless the eldritch energies unlocked by the collision results in my resurrection.

If I do return to life, I suppose I might be very angry at someone or something, and that I will make him/her/it/them regret what he/she/it/they did, in the finest tradition of cinematic heroes who return from apparent death or exile.

Once I've completed my mission of vengeance, perhaps I'll ride a vehicle or appropriate local domesticated animal towards a local star disappearing over the horizon of whatever planet I'm on, perhaps even with an appropriate romantic partner.

If all of this comes to pass, I would fully expect to be forced to return to resolve increasingly unexpected conflicts ad nauseum.

As I go, I'll likely start to repeatedly indicate that I'm getting far too old for this nonsense, but I'll continue to reluctantly proceed in my conflict resolution every time. Perhaps I'll be able to pass on the fight for justice to another, younger person eventually.

Like I said before, though, I'll likely just stay dead.

Adam Something is a favorite of mine.

Gang, is there like a biological reason cats put their butts in your face? Based on everyone's reaction, it's obviously something we've all seen enough that we find the meme funny or at least relatable.

 

I'm looking to replace the HDD on an HP Pavilion dv 6 6130-us. It has an i-3 2330M CPU. I know it's old as dirt, but I'd like to use it to run old games. It's also the only thing I own with a CD drive.

I've upgraded the RAM to the maximum it will support (16 GB). I'm thinking an SSD will help it run a great deal faster, but I'm stuck on what to get. So far, the Crucial MX500 seems like a good choice, but I'm wondering if any semi-reliable cheap SSD will do for something this old. I have to stick with something with a 2.5 inch form factor that uses SATA. Thoughts?

Interesting. Looking at the Business Plot, it looks like Smedley Butler may just be a new hero of mine. Thank God they chose someone who wouldn't go along with their crap.
