Like pdb, I grilled today. Unlike pdb, my grilling technique doesn’t involve committing acts of depravity on helpless poultry. Tonight’s menu: teriyaki pork tenderloin, chicken breast, cheddar brats, and veggie kebabs.
About a minute after this picture was taken, the skies opened up and I had to cook under a golf umbrella in the middle of a thunderstorm. You have to suffer for your art.
Many’s the time I’ve looked at a Ruger 10/22 and thought to myself, “You know what that fucker needs? An M4 telestock and a few yards of Picatinny rail!”
Apparenly the guys at Tapco felt the same way.
While they certainly put in a valiant effort, they failed to create the silliest 10/22 stock on the market. I’d say that top honors go to the fake-MG42 kit, with the “Total Recall” bullpup unit as a close second.
When it comes to cheap, garish bolt-on garbage, the Ruger 10/22 is the Honda Civic of the gun world. Don’t even get me STARTED on SKS accessories…

I’d love to get my hands on the stupid asshole who scheduled me for a programming class at the end of a 12-hour school day. Oh wait, I’m that stupid asshole. I really need to plan these things a little better.
I’m truly impressed, though, with my ability to actually do the work correctly while nodding like a junkie and experiencing wild hypnagogic hallucinations. Tonight in class I managed to throw together a perfectly functional implementation of the greedy algorithm, except that it didn’t actually make any sense to me. I wrote the damn thing in about 30 seconds and then sat there staring at it for a good 5 minutes, trying to figure out how it works.
I’m either a natural-born programmer of I’ve finally gone ’round the bend.
Had dinner at Miller’s Bar tonight. You have to like a bar where the entire menu consists of a single picture. And you have to LOVE a bar that operates on the honor system.
Oh, and having the best burgers in the state doesn’t hurt, either.
… and apologies for same.
It’s been unreasonably busy for a holiday weekend. Helping a friend move (friends help you move; real friends help you move bodies), playing amateur plumber and only making things worse (kitchen sinks are overrated anyways), and spending the rest of my time figuring out the quirks of these decTOPs (see previous post) have pretty well sucked up all my free time. As my pal Squeaky would say, “O GOD MY LIFE.”
So in the meantime, here’s a Libertines video for you.
Don’t even ASK how goddamn long it took (note the timestamp on this post), but there it is, up and running with everything configured properly:
That one’s yours, Josh. Gonna do something different with mine, I think. And ET’s getting his still sealed in the original box, so he can have the same fun I had. I’ll sell him my HOWTO for an extra $50
