The Texas AG had sucessfully argued in court that ammo is a necessity and is therefore subject to Texas' price gouging laws so businesses that raised prices can be sued and required to repay customers who bought at a higher price. I feel like our AG actually works for me.

The federalist has a great article specifically about the Atlanta Braves but more generally about the ridiculous name changes.

"Piece by piece the country, the architecture of its ideology, the bones of its buttresses are being stripped away and replaced with mindless bromides. There is nothing offensive about naming a baseball team the Braves in honor of American Indians. You don’t name your team after something you hate or deride. Nobody in Brooklyn would name his team The Queens."

Analysis from the department showed that all weapons were either inoperable or fake, and Elizaveta Zlatkis has said that she lends the fake weapons to rappers and producers to use in music videos or other artistic productions."

"The Daily Eagle reported that Zlatkis has refused to take a plea deal, and Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz has declined to drop the case over the last year."

The reporters asking if Trump will take the vaccine are being ridiculous. Trump already had covid so he doesn't need the vaccine

New powder coat looks great

So it sounds like I'll be switching a bunch of CentOS 8 servers over to something else soon.

My copy of The Hobbit from 1991 lists the publisher's gopher server address. I had to look up what that was.

The bill was mainly met with wide support. “Anytime you see someone near you without a cowboy hat, you feel unsafe,” said Tex Brewer, a Texan. “You wonder what that guy is up to. Is he going to raise my taxes or take my AR-15? I don’t cotton to that.”

The AR-15 is an open source gun
