DOGE really needs to get after the post office. An item I ordered from China landed in Chicago. Then the post office sent it to a distribution center in Ohio. I live in central Wisconsin. For those that aren't good with geography, that's the wrong direction. It took 5 days to get there. God only knows how long it will sit in Ohio. Then the...

I was thinking about this and thought it would be an interesting topic for people's opinions. Shauna Rae had a show on TLC that was about her life with pituitary dwarfism (she looks younger than her age, 25).

On the upside, I do have plenty of disk space for them. ...unless I screwed up the math. I do have a couple learning disabilities (special ed students unite!) and math is one of...

I built a media server, just to see if I could do it. I have no experience in such things and it was frustrating at times. Fortunately I still have my hair, so there was some to pull out while building this thing. It is up and running and only a couple tasks remain. I need to configure it so family and friends can stream...
