I’m reminded of the guy I saw who couldn’t get out of the courthouse parking garage because he didn’t have a smartphone to pay for the parking.

I’d still rather break a gate than get an implant.

Combigent is a perfectly cromulent word.

It takes a surprisingly small data center to serve a single house. I run a more reliable streaming service than Netflix from my basement.

I’m just never buying a car made after 2018.
