  2. I don’t get the “retirement home” one. The size? Layout wrong? Lack of camouflage of the topside as a ruin or rockpile?

        1. The contractors that do plumbing and telecom might know. Been both. Found a few int-er-est-ing things in old houses over the years. Ain’t said squat about ’em neither.

          Basically, if you know, you know. grin

      2. When Sib and Sib-in-Law were looking at houses, they found one that had been framed with steel I-beams instead of wood, and the basements could double as bomb shelters. Apparently the first owner/builder was the 1950s version of a prepper. Or really, really scared of tornadoes.

          2. Very important.

            I will note that the nursing homes have a greater problem with patients who don’t realize they shouldn’t go out, so don’t rely on any given door being usable.

          1. One word. Well, two. Natural caves.

            Yes, I have plans should Eff You money ever fall into my lap.

            Well, most of them involve books, writing, and suchlike. But plans for secure and comfy dwelling places away from urban flashpoints are… around here somewhere.

                  1. There are some lovely volcanic islands out there, and a lot of them would be great to plant vineyards, fruit trees, and so on. Maybe have meadows at the foot of the volcano, with some killer sheep with fricking laserbeams on their heads.

                    For example, Hachijo-jima has extensive resort facilities as well as a disused secret submarine pen, bioluminescent mushrooms, and humpback whales.

                    Aogashima is pretty nice too, albeit it’s a long way from anywhere.

  8. That ‘statistics’ meme should be “On average, the typical American has one testicle and one ovary.”

    Which neatly explains the Leftroids’ gender confusion, since they are obsessed with groups, and do not consider individuals significant.

    For #10: “Ammo ain’t cheap, my son.”

        2. Well it does make sense looked at that way. Much fanfic is fully compliant with Sturgeon’s law, and some of the biggest offenses are blatantly recycling old franchise plots with new people in them, and writing a string of scenes that the writer thinks looks cool without any concern about anything like plot coherence or entertainment value.

  10. I saw the first meme and thought Sarah was telling us that she wasn’t post today.

    Of course, I haven’t had my coffee yet. :wink:

          On the other hand, I’m not getting comment posts from Word Press.

          1. Me either. Just comments that responses to my comment. Haven’t since the “new” look happened. I’d say “sorry you aren’t either” but kind of glad someone else is in the same WP comment desert.

            1. On the other hand, the Reader is now getting all comments from every post whether or not he subscribes to it. He is getting the comment flood.

      1. As with my inadvertent shopping trip to a bookstore being used as a gambling front… The trick is just to grab your unobtainium quickly, say nothing about their strangely underpriced books, and head for the checkout within five minutes.

        2. Depending on book quality, they could end up making a decent chunk of change actually selling books that way, too. There are a few old titles I still need to get copies of, as lent out ones have yet to find their way home.

  16. I suspect my rhombus of doubt and triangle of suspicion have joined forces to spawn innumerable trapezoids of WTF?!?

    At least since the original 2020 (we are on the third of the, I hope, just a trilogy).

    1. I’d prefer they let the squirrel in and stop the man. We have bubonic infected squirrels in CO. Take him there. He’ll be fine. The man, otoh, is coming to live off our tax money, such as it is. (Yours. Mine already went to the Taliban.)

        1. More like “for Iran”, given the players involved. “Up to 100% work from home” and “Multiple Locations, United States” (probably mostly Langley); Zoom from a VPN is so handy for deniability….

      2. Maybe add another one: vast empty desert, a hole dug in the ground, some poor sap standing beside it and a Middle Eastern Soldier pointing a pistol at his head.

        “You forgot to ask about the retirement plan. Oops.”

    2. Yeah, see, I stopped reading before I got to the ‘Iranian Embassy’ part.

      Does it mention the substantial risk that your retirement plan will consist of a bullet in the back of the head and an unmarked hole in the desert?
