    Although with the state of both Target’s near me, there’s often stuff out of stock.

    • peroxide – come on. The last time Target didn’t have peroxide or rubbing alcohol was during the pandemic lockdown. What their excuse NOW?

    • Hershey’s Almond Nuggets – OK. They’re popular. So if there’s only 1 bag left, you should maybe order more.

    • t-shirts in my size – the men’s accessory clothing section was a disaster. I don’t know when the last time a sales associate tidied up, but there were underwear sizes all mixed up from different brands (Fruit of the Loom, Hanes, etc.) and quality. I had to buy what I wanted on-line.

    It’s gotten so that I don’t trust either of my Target’s to have stuff I buy there on a regular basis.




  • Let’s hope the bomber(s) did something stupid like not wear gloves when handling the wires used to build the thing. Or one of the other components like the batteries, which they bought from a Chinese supplier that sells through Amazon, who keeps records.

    Likely it will be some locally generated dim bulb. One can only hope they’ll mention friends who helped over a can of pro-offered Coke. Or someone extracts it with “rubber hose methods” before the police discover said dim bulb.




  • 40 years ago at UCLA, I had to do my FORTRAN programs on punch cards submitted through the batch system. The CS/Math department (no CS department then), only offered 1 section in FORTRAN with 40 others in PASCAL. And it was taught by an Engineering professor. Why would a Chemistry major take a computer science class? Remember all those shiny machines CSI uses to do forensic analysis? They came from chem labs.
