So, I awoke this morning from whatever the heck dream I was having, with the immediate thought: I'm worried that I don't have any beer on hand, for breakfast.

Only as I came awake did I realize: Huh?  I don't drink beer with breakfast; hell, I don't even want to drink beer with breakfast.

But clearly your body wants you to be drink beer for breakfast. Clearly it's the only answer. /

Confucius say, "Man who drink beer for breakfast soon become sadder Budweiser."

Good choice - better to pour whiskey on your cornflakes.

Building a hedge around Torah in a way if you think about it.

You remind me of the old joke:  wherever you find four Hasidim, you'll find a fifth.

Hey, *I* grew up in a religion where you're actually encouraged to "drink on the job", so to speak (even the priests).

Advantage: Catholicism.

The very common Logitech C920 webcam apparently likes to start flickering during videos, and the only way you can fix it is to install the Logitech Settings app to change the video frame rate from NTSC (60 Hz) to PAL (50 Hz). Which is slightly bonkers, but okay. 

But Logitech wants you to install the G Hub app instead, and if you install that app, it takes over control of the webcam so much that Zoom can't use it. At all. 

The stupid, it burns.
