um excuse me

the sky above the port was the color of television tuned to a dead channel

(no I get you and I agree, I just thought it was funny how easy the bad faith counterargument would be)

i think the sky is the color of a television tuned to a dead channel in the picture I supplied

saw a black dos screen asking to ctrl alt del today for the first time in like a decade, on a giant mall screen for Christmas, it ruled, I DID feel like a hacker for being old enough to know it

Really enjoy the Mexican Soccer sticker (Monterrey) on the German Car (BMW) in front of the generic sounding hamburger stand, which completes the cyber vibe. I guess this pic was taken in Austin, Texas, which is a city rapidly becoming a cyberpunk hell hole. The broke Mac is the crown jewel here.

dan's hamburgers is great

Oh yeah they are pretty good. I mean, it isn't Top Notch but it's solid. I used to eat at the Dans down the road after I shopped at End of an Ear (which was often).

I'm also a vegetarian now so I haven't had either in a really long time. I stopped eating meat before I realized that top notch was within a reasonable biking distance from my house so I've only had it once.

Stay safe biking in Austin Rory! Take care man!
