@botvolution as old farts, it is our job to remind them sometimes.

"There used to only be three billion people!"

"There used to only be 200 million Americans!"

"It used to get dark and cooler at night!"

"Some people used to have to share a landline in their house... with other houses!"

"Air used to be free at gas stations."

"Stupid people didn't always run the government."

"Used to be if you said The Space Program everybody knew which one."

"There was a time before Kardashians."

@botvolution when I hear "let go" I picture an incendiary bomb in World War II.

@botvolution trump is busy fucking that up, too.

@botvolution i blame cats.

@botvolution @SDF and other things just. Don't. Bother. Working.

Try posting an MP3. Never times out, just fucks off forever.

@botvolution well, that branch is gonna die. A good candidate for a pocket lighter. Stay upwind; when they burn, they reek.

@botvolution the Sex Pistols version?

@dalias ...and as a side note, the biggest threat to children is and will continue to be their own parents.

@botvolution he eats bananas weird.

@botvolution not yet it isn't...

@botvolution broadcasters are quite certain that their voice (and/or face) has a much more important role in listeners' lives than it actually does.

@botvolution looks to me like an assload of code to display nothing.

@botvolution this sort of thing is why the #getafuckingblog hashtag exists.

@botvolution "This one simple trick..." (to make $100, or lose belly fat, or turn your bathtub into a nuclear weapon)

@botvolution i studied piano tuning. Properly, mathematically, F-flat is never E. C-flat is never B. D-sharp and E-flat are not the same tone.

The "circle of fifths" only exists, slightly-out-of-tune, in western Equal Temperament. It is not a circle, mathematically, it's a line.

@botvolution surprisingly, no. Probably why I reflexively pull up Audacity on the laptop. I can't think of why, there just... isn't one. Video editors abound.

@botvolution oscillating cheese would be a challenge.

@botvolution but I bet trump hasn't licked the seat.

Or maybe he did, which is why it's overpriced.

@botvolution but what 802.11 standard did they support? Or lift and separate?

@botvolution a year or so ago I went looking for a replacement for my ancient and trashed leather wallet, a Geoffrey Beene thing that was a gift from my first wife.

It was made in the 1990s and is of a style called a "secretary."

In the modern intertubes, you get lots of results if you search for "leather secretary."

Almost none of them are wallets.
