`winget upgrade --all` gives me joy. I'm a simple man.

I’m pretty sure that Purgatory is sitting outside a Kohl’s fitting room while “What I Like About You” plays overhead

“Why are there socks on the kitchen counter?” isn’t something I thought I’d ask my teenagers today

Oh, Roger Ailes had some wisdom to impart huh 🙄

Awesome!

That sounds like 101.5 in Austin. It stopped finding new sounds around the late nineties and started replaying the same songs over and over. It’s just classic radio at this point. :/

Ever been through CDG?

I don’t, but my dog Wrex might
