Have you thought about, perhaps, not answering the fucking phone?

The thought had occurred to me.
These fucking clownshoe dirtbags and I are going to have a good long hard talk about my relationship with their budget Monday morning.
In particular whether they sign over a bunch of it to me or if they're going to stop signing over any of it.

Jesus H. Baby-Hitler-Christ, are all SF-nerds this fucking insufferable? Fuck me, I'm glad I got turned off from that crap when I had to read Children's End. Maybe someone should tell him we've only been to one extra-planetary body so all other descriptions are exaggerations at best.

Time to bake purple bread?

I even gave them a hint by calling it a Perpetuum Mobile. :)

Resistance is 1 ohm.

Status: Wanna do bandwidthy stuffs but uploading the backup for the videos I did yesterday is going to take another hour and a half. Internet sucks.
