   With a trap door, you can run him over after he leaves the car.

   Is that an actual song?

   FWIW, my boss’s ringtone is Darth Vader’s march. I’ve been using it for at least 10 years. I don’t think he’s found out yet. :-)

   Reminds me of collection agencies. When I moved into my first apartment, I was constantly getting phone calls from bill collectors asking for someone I’ve never heard of at some other address. I would tell them to go away, but they refused until I threatened legal action against them.

   One, after telling them that he doesn’t have this phone number anymore, actually asked me if I had he current number. I responded with something like “Sorry, Verizon didn’t give me the personal history of everybody who previously had this number, maybe you can ask them.”

   That was me, too. I read an article in the paper (what we’d today call click-bait) talking all about the dangers of and all the nasty complications that can result from trench foot. Made me scared to walk anywhere that might result in water getting into my shoes.

   Of course, the article didn’t say that you can just dry your feet as soon as you come in from the rain.

   It’s not stupid – it’s how you deal with it.

   Dan Bongino puts it best. You don’t have to worry about “stupid stupid” people – those that are stupid and know it. They will seek advice and generally go along with it. You have to worry about the “smart stupid” people – those that are stupid but believe they know everything. They try to force their stupidity on everybody else and get angry and vindictive if anyone dares to point it out. (And no, this is not political – Dan refers to nearly everybody in government from both parties as “smart stupid” people).

   … Two really good friends. :-)

   But I think you meant “Irwin” – the adult troll. Nerwin (the kid) isn’t all that bright.

   The difference between barking at God and barking at you and me is that God knows what he’s trying to say.

    Yes. And if you can tell me one brand or model (even an expensive one) that doesn’t sell my information, please do so. Otherwise, what’s your point? That we should all throw away our TVs and permanently go off-line? You first.

    @Pony99CA: Some TVs these days won’t let you operate them disconnected. Many won’t let you get beyond the setup screen without a network connection. And it wouldn’t surprise me if some just quit working if you don’t let them phone home.
