Tmbreen Link ParentI thought this series was just a hit piece on Samuel Morse. It turns into something so much greater. Loved it. Listened to it twice now. Jon Bois is a story teller that cannot be beat.I thought this series was just a hit piece on Samuel Morse. It turns into something so much greater. Loved it. Listened to it twice now.

What a series.
Joked tonight that this is kinda the 8 and start of the 9th games of this best of 7 World Series. 18 innings was nuts.

This could be a problem if a new big vulnerability is found, but with companies throwing out Windows 10 machines, it may make 10 a less juicy target.

However, after many miserable nights and Fitbit congratulating me on said night of sleep, I lost trust in a lot of the easy tests.
I still do need to at least try the official test. Maybe it will help, only time will tell. But I haven't had the money or time recently to look into it.

I've been a long time Xbox Live subscriber, ever since I first got it to play Halo 3 almost two decades ago. But, this push to more subscription based stuff is losing me. I want to own my games, not rent them.

I can't believe this actually worked out. I was so sure my fellow Americans were going to be thrown under the bus and forgotten. I'm kinda in disbelief. Well done.
