"Biden falls while getting off his bike after a beach ride"

Obviously, RWNJ "news" "media" are going to have a fucking field day with this shit. Probably already are, though I have zero interest in checking to find out. But let's pause for a bit and put this into perspective. Could you imagine if this had happened to Trump? I, for one, most certainly cannot, mainly because the entire concept of Dumbo Jumbo Trump even attempting to ride a fucking bicycle is utterly alien to me. Recall that Trump was the guy who required a golf cart ride to keep up with all the other world leaders, who were walking, at the G7 summit in 2017, after all.

But... sure, let's entertain for a moment the ludicrous fantasy that Trump would ever get his fat ass up on a bike. IfWhen he fell off of it like that, we'd probably see a real life version of that Peter Griffin thing, no doubt. (No offense intended toward fictional character Peter Griffin with my comparing him to Dumbfuck Trump. For one thing, Peter Griffin is nowhere near as fat as Trump. ¬_¬) That said, though, while I admittedly would have felt a faint bit of schadenfreude about it, probably, I wouldn't have cared all that much, even so, because Trump deserves so, so much worse misfortune than something like merely falling off a bicycle. (EDIT) "You know, you really shouldn't be fat-shaming him like tha-" Shut the fuck up. It's Donald fucking Trump. Ordinarily, I'd agree with that sentiment, but I make an exception for Trump, because to hell with Trump. The fact that Trump is physically grotesque is probably the least of his myriad flaws. (/EDIT)

More seriously, though, everyone who has ever ridden a bike has fallen off of it or fallen with it at least once, and anyone who says otherwise is a liar, plain and simple. When I was a kid, I recall one time managing to somehow fall off my bike so hard that the handle bar hit me in the gut and knocked the wind out of me. That was the first (and hopefully last) time that I ever got hit by anything hard enough to lose my breath. It sucked ass.

Thermal paste reapplied to CPU/heatsink

This is mostly just a note to self, for the next time I feel like I have to do this, so that I'll know when I did it previously.

The previous time I did this was not quite a year and a half ago, which seems... a bit more recently than it should have been... ¬_¬ All I know is that some stuff beyond just Minecraft Java version was starting to cause my CPU to overheat, so I went ahead and replaced the paste. It did kind of look shitty and worn down or whatever when I pulled the heatsink off of it. We'll see if replacing it helps any, I guess.

"6 in 10 Americans say Trump should be charged for Jan. 6 riot: POLL"

That is an awfully low ratio. Should be much higher than that, i.e. anything below 10 in 10 is too low. But then, I guess that's roughly the same ratio of how many dumbfuck idiots in this country still support their fellow dumbfuck idiot, in general, despite everything, compared to how many people actually have at least some common fucking sense, so... makes sense, I guess. *shrug*
