Hey there people.  Believe it or not, we actually are in the process of a new upcoming episode on audio.  The Heir took about 2-3 weeks out to start making some insurance policies for the Third Pillar (music and audio), and we're back on track again for the episode.  Tentatively, we're looking at another week or so.  So now that February starts tomorrow, we'll say again what (we think) we said sometime early January:

Keep Sex In Valentines

This summary is not available. Please click here to view the post.

So here's the Heir's tribute to Old School Bargain Foods, which was bought out by another chain last year, killed, and now a closeout, everything must go. He's hoping that public fatigue with hostile takeover style forced closing of worthwhile businesses reaches an all time high, to make a triumphant return, and make the social architecture less impersonal and bastardized. Until then it'll be surreal for him to go back to his roots at Bland Barns, buying foods he paused in buying over a year ago.

We Are Charlie at the Bachelor.  However, once things reasonably settle down, the Heir wants to know how they got a hold of a grenade launcher, and other bigger weapons.  He'd think that something like that should show up on France's SIG-INT, or something.  He might end up wanting to talk about it on audio in an upcoming episode (though not the next one, because that's where the personification of forced obsolescence will make its presence known).

"How did they ever get that grenade launcher!?"

We meant to say this the day before yesterday, but now that the pro-sex holiday has begun, here's something that bears repeating:

Keep sex in Valentines.

The Heir was perusing around radios on Amazon, and was delighted to see that they're still making analog radios with slide rule displays, even now in the 2010s.  I the Mentor made an allusion in our recent episode (see below, or run the Audio stream as per the link on this shares base) to a personification of the replacement belief system that we've spent almost the entire Year Of Nominality in decrying and challenging.  The Heir's able to tell that personification to put it in its pipe and smoke it with these great looking radios, even though the Heir appeals Buyer Beware to everyone here, and do research.  (Mostly) 2010s Slide Rule Analog Radios @ {Kaito KA350GY (2010), Kaito KA210 (2014), 12 Band World Radio (2013), Kaito KA228 (2011), Aweek R-909 (2014), topAlert Weather Radio (2011), Coby CX-38C (2001, not recent)}

Heir's pick in this share linked from the above graphic

When you get a chance, people, please be sure to tune into our newest episode.  It's referenced below, and you can also hear it through the Audio link on this shares base.  But right now, the Heir wants to share a rare victory lap with Brooklyn beating Chicago *in* Chicago.  That just never happens.  And the Heir usually just whines and complains about his teams losing and not always with the best amount of fight.  Different deal tonight, though the Heir was thinking that he'd be content if Brooklyn only lost by 5.  But he got a 14 point win, a post-Christmas Santa rally.  Chris and Tim on audio did say that Chicago did have problems with one or two players not playing to their potential, but the Heir likes to think Brooklyn actually earned this win, like with their taking privilege on the other team's weaknesses.  So here's the Heir going :thumbsup:

"You can't see it, people, but I've got the :thumbsup: on this one.  We should probably get an actual :thumbsup: pic of me at some point.  Way to go, team!"

The Bachelor Has A Different Take On The Past Election.  This, nearly two months after that election took place.  Contrary to conventional wisdom, the Heir is skeptical that the election was necessarily a referendum on or a mandate against Funny Named Skinny Kid.  When the new Congress is sworn in the New Year, the Heir continues to see the most important issues in this country today being neglected, particularly the question of whether to medically require young adults who haven't been sexually active by a certain age to go to a sex therapist.  Two months was also enough time for the Bachelor to express regret over our One Percent Doctrine type response to the Ebola scare, including killing a dog without testing him for the virus, and imprisoning a nurse in quarantine who never had the virus.  They also stopped listening to the CIS full-time, particularly because of their contribution to the scare with their wrong downer claims that never got supported.  But the Heir relates his love of German radios he saw on that YouTube channel, available under the Audio link on this shares base.  He talks about how to look at the month of October (now that it's nearly January) in the context of hedonistic meditation.  On Audio (click on Play All) @ http://www.mixcloud.com/audiobachelor2/playlists/the-happy-bachelor-1/

The Great Walkup

Either today or tomorrow we plan to announce our last episode of the year.  Right now we haven't uploaded anything.  I the Mentor am inclined to believe that it's going to be tomorrow, amidst all the pre-New Year cleaning the Heir's doing, as per Scottish tradition.  Also the Heir keeps getting tired and having two hour naps to the point where not even Leeanna's able to wake him up, in her own special way.  I keep telling him to be careful with those sugared holiday cookies, which I guess he's not so used to, now that BSK has made agave-based whole-wheat pastries available for him (and the other patrons).  Stay tuned.

We do plan to get an episode in before the New Year.

Something we had linked from our old site.  We want to link it here now as a fun First Pillar link.  Nudesbay @ http://nudesbay.com/

Season's Greetings from the Bachelor!

The Heir has made further strides on his Linuxtop.  We did record some more of the upcoming episode, so we made sure that the Heir's adventures in Linux didn't distract from that.  But the Heir actually got Wifi to work, and he was amazed that he got precise instructions that were spot-on.  These were files that didn't come with the distro but which he had to go out and find for himself, with help of the web address he saw in the startup and shutdown screens, and that's kernel.org.  He had to go to the distro's wiki for info he didn't get at kernel.org, but he installed what they asked him to, and it worked out of the proverbial box.  His first apt-get foray, and which stands him in good stead for when he gets clamz.  And I the Mentor am plugged through that Wifi writing about this that he configured.  He also tightened up Samba a bit on the security, and he wants to do research on some other good security tips on Samba that seem simple and low-risk enough and applies to his system.  The Heir will look again at what I shared here regarding his other Linux tasks, but he believes that the last task is the CD/DVD drive.  He thinks it's broken, and it's also not a blu-ray contrary to what he was led to believe online with his specific unit.  So he wants to see about getting a CD/DVD/Blu-ray internal drive that fits in his unit, and he hopes that getting drivers and/or firmware should be just as easy as it was for Wifi.  The Heir's also not surprised that Brooklyn dropped yet another one by getting ahead in the first quarter, getting tied in the second quarter, and staying consistently behind in the last two quarters.  They really need to work on damage control for when they get behind in the score, so they can regain the lead at least once per game, because they can't always count on always being in the lead.

"Brooklyn needs to work on regaining any leads they lost in a given game, and not always count on being in the lead the entire game.  That's my constructive criticism."
