AOC
If you’re like me (and nobody is, I am unique!) when you think of AOC you think of Computer Monitors of which I’ve owned several, some of which are still in service. My last acquisition was a 15.6″ 1920 x 1080 Portable USB unit (AOC I1659FWUX 15.6″). It’s not the best one I have but …

We’ve Known This For a Long Time
The Dunning-Kruger Effect. What’s behind the confidence of the incompetent? This suddenly popular psychological phenomenon. By Angela Fritz, Washington Post January 7, 2019 In their 1999 paper, published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, David Dunning and Justin Kruger put data to what has been known by philosophers since Socrates, who supposedly said …

Desperation In A Losing Position
So Unindicted Co-conspirator Bottomless Pinocchio wants to interrupt your Tuesday night Prime Time with an address that a growing number of people say should not be carried at all on the Broadcast Networks unless vetted and fact checked (the very foundation of it is a racist lie). I guess it’s a bridge too far even …

Cartnoon
Ok, this is not funny in a conventional sense, more like the 2:30 First Act of The Abduction of Figaro, only less. Basically it’s 5 hours of D’Arcy Carden in character as Janet from The Good Place standing around in an empty white space reminiscent of the Nowhere Land found in the Vacuum Monster’s stomach …

Throwball Playoffs Loser’s Bracket: Eagles at Bears
Goody! Animal teams! Let’s just face it, Da Bears haven’t been good since the late 40s or so when future Wrestling Hall of Famer Bill Perry, the man with the thickest fingers in Throwball, was doing their choreography. That they, and not my Packers, are in they Playoffs is a gross injustice. On the other …

Throwball Playoffs Loser’s Bracket: Chargers at Ravens
I told you yesterday that Baltimore got a better team, the Ravens. The good news is they’re likely to win today. The bad news is they’re going to face the Patsies if they do. Not that it’s necessarily bad news, the Patsies have looked pretty vincible this year and there is no doubt Brady’s best …

Throwball Playoffs Loser’s Bracket: Seahawks at Cowboys
Not even close. ‘Boys fans are about the rudest people in the world, trooping into Bars and behaving scandalously even (or especially) when the home team is the opponent. The only thing that can shut them up is to get an enormous 1st Quarter lead. Then they get sullen and resentful and drink heavily, leaving …

Throwball Playoffs Loser’s Bracket: Bolts at Texans
Time to get your hate on. That’s right, it’s Throwball Playoff time and this is what some call “Wildcard” Weekend which I suppose is fair enough since half the teams are ones which didn’t win their Division. The Division “Winners” consigned to these games mark their Divisions as weak and worthless losers who’s bottom tier …

House
As a DJ you spend a lot of time with your headphones on. Well, if you want to preserve your hearing you do. You have to drive a lot of watts to achieve the same clarity on the dance floor. So Long, And Thanks For All The Fish – A Perfect Circle My Name Is …

A Change To Our Language Policy
Well, it’s not a policy so much as a guideline. TMC thinks using certain words where search engines can see them reduces our audience exposure (not that either of us care) and she rightly suspects me of having a potty mouth. It’s true. I’m reliably informed by a random Intertubz Quiz that I swear like …
