My shopping is like a quest through Middle Earth, too. Lots of stores on a meandering path. Sometimes you find what you need, and other times the orcs ambush you.


A national poll of likely voters by The New York Times and Siena College finds Trump leading Harris, 48 percent to 47 percent, within the poll’s three-percentage-point margin of error and largely unchanged from a Times/Siena poll taken in late July just after Biden dropped his re-election bid. nytimes.com/2024/09/08/us/poli…




Tribune editorial: Utah's leaders say land under federal oversight hasn't been properly managed — which is likely code for land that hasn’t been mined, drilled, opened to noxious off-road vehicles or sold to private developers.

Opened the MSX2 to snip away the battery, and to inspect the horrible noise it made while moving it. I was suspecting loose screws.

Super happy the battery has not leaked. It looks new.

As for the noise... The machine innards are FILLED with these little yellow caps, with a white substance inside.
I have a very faint memory of things like these being capsules for toy revolvers, that made a gunshot noise when fired, but obviously shot nothing. I wonder if I'm right.

totally exactly that. They were usually red but yellow existed too.

It is truly their loss.
Your strip about bagpipes being more annoying than a leaf blower is my absolute favorite. My son played bagpipes in high school and the first year was Very painful The good news he became quite good and we all lived to tell the tale. That strip is framed and hangs proudly in my home.

the boat is the ANOESIS … anoesis is “perception without understanding” which is a great Easter egg in the cartoon


OF revenue hits $6.6 billion, with profits soaring to $600 million. OF earns more than all Silicon Valley AI startups combined 😂 who are burning billions every year with no sight of the profits. OF is Powered by human creativity 😻, not AI. variety.com/2024/digital/news/… At least one area is safe from these tech firms.
