This button makes me want to ramble more than usual.

Meandering thoughts…

1.When I win the MegaMillions I’m going to hire an overseas call center and begin a campaign against unsolicited text messages. The call center will be tasked with DDoS style attacks on the companies advertising their wares that way.

2.I recently discontinued my satellite tv service. Now I’m feeling overwhelmed when trying to find stuff to watch. With the satellite I had maybe half a dozen go-to channels, and I would select from among the lot and settle on whatever was the least uninteresting program of the moment. But now I must make a choice among the many thousands of streaming options avialble to me via Netflix, The Roku Channel, Pluto TV, Sony Crackle, Vudu and 93 local broadcast channels. It’s overwhelming me with too many options. Plus, having to switch between hardware devices and the various streaming apps as I search for whatever I’ll be watching is a bit of a PITA. I’m nearly compelled to go back to satellite just to make the selection process easier.

3.For supper I think I’ll make cheater’s chili. It’s filling, tasty enough, and super easy to make. Two cans of refried beans (or one large can), 1lb browned ground beef, one 24oz jar of your favourite salsa. Toss it all into a pot, heat through, enjoy. You can wrap it in tortillas if you prefer burritos. If you’re doing the burritos, consider adding chopped onions, shredded cheese and lettuce when you roll 'em up.

4.I wish I could change the voice of Google Assistant to Kit, the car from Knight Rider. And despite my best efforts, I could not come up with a good reason to link Hasselhoff, so fuck it. Enjoy this really horrible lip-synched live rendition of Du:
