Moz
Which piece of information should your users know that they never know?
The name of the application they’ve been using every day for 10 or 20 years. Typical dialogue goes something like this:
User: It’s crashing. I can’t open it.
Me: What is crashing? What application?
User: Oh, I don’t know. I think it’s called Microdobe Macropedia or something like that. Or Mozzarella Flatfox. That is your job.
Me: 🤯
I just can’t imagine using something for years and not knowing what it’s called. The lack of awareness and curiosity is astonishing.
How It’s Blowing (Up)
I see those getting destroyed all the time. They are big, slow, and their armor is not great. That drone signal is terrible; must be tons of jamming equipment in that area. But not enough.

What’s a horror scene where the actor’s performance was scarier than the scene itself?
I agree with the OP. Caitlin Stasey’s performance is better than the entire rest of the film. I was hoping Smile would continue on with such intensity and great acting but alas it did not. It was an ok film but nothing special.
Wanted more Stasey, less of everything else.
Walz Right In
I didn’t know much about Tim Walz before he was picked for VP, but he looks like a solid choice. Smart on energy, permitting reform and taxes. Doesn’t seem to be hair-sniffer or senile. Not sure Harris could’ve done any better given the constraints she’s facing.
Provence
This is delightful. That language is Provençal! I believe that is the only song I have in that tongue. It sounds like a strange mix of French and Spanish (which, you know, it basically is).
What a fun language.
Blu DeTiger – Moxie (Live)
I love the way she plays bass. So good and dirty.
Hard No
Why did users start calling computers “hard drives?” That confused me greatly when I started working help desk. I just can’t imagine how that happened as the average user never even sees a hard drive.
So how in the hell did that become so common back in the day?
