After seeing the PSA about which version of Frogs to watch tonight, all I can think is:

Wrong Frogs is my Toad the Wet Sprocket cover band.

@RamenCatholic I'm old enough to have watched Steele when it first aired, and I very much remember getting to second season and being all "wait why does this theme song sound familiar HEEEEEEEEEY". :D #Monsterdon

Here's the thing that always got me about the He-Man cartoon's theme song in the 80's: although the actual sequence of notes was _not_ the same, it had the same _rhythm_ as the second season (and later) theme from Remington Steele!

Compare them!

I am here for not only biteyfish, but _military-grade_ biteyfish! Biteyfish which have been _weaponized_.

I'd love to have listened in on the pitch session for _that_ to the Department of Defense. 😆 🐟

I see a lot of pointing and laughing at the brouhaha between Musk and Ramaswamy, and the MAGA crowd who's pissed off at them for the whole H1B thing, and claiming America doesn't have enough engineers.

But here's the thing. Musk had a whole helluva lot of engineers when he bought Twitter. He decimated his own workforce.

Every other tech CEO looked at that, went "HEY THAT LOOKS PROFITABLE," and chucked a bunch of their own engineers out the door, too.

The tech job market is STILL reeling from this.

So I call bullshit on the whole "America doesn't have enough engineers" claim. What they really mean is, there's a shortage of engineers they can get away with paying shit wages.

Signed, QA Engineer still out of work after a year and a half

@LabSpokane Boooooooo. I have a ResMed model, I'll have to check its settings before I go to bed tonight. :P Thanks for spreading the word!

In which Kimberly, child of James and Catherine, grows up in Vault 101; and in which she receives an unpleasant surprise when her father mysteriously disappears.

(This being the first post of my Fallout 3 playthrough, which I will document on my blog even though it's mostly an Elder Scrolls blog!)
