If you are eligible to vote, and don’t, that is the same as a vote for the winner - whoever that is.

First, the beginning of your post sounds like the opening line to Jimmy Buffett’s “The Devil I Know”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9WBXNW8Kj4

Second, my favorite experience with the B-1 was at the Edwards AFB air show. They were at max power, full afterburner, but near stall - the nose was pointed way up and they were just crawling across the sky. The ground shook; the cars were parked on the flightline (pre-9/11), and every car alarm went off at the same time. It was awesome.

The skies are too clear, life’s so easy today.

Four-way tie.

Nethack.

I actually have some USB-A to USB-C cables from DeWalt with reversible USB-A connectors. Certainly no reason other companies couldn’t have built them that way.

Can’t forget Krull!

Check out Firewalla Gold. I think it would meet all of your requirements.

The Firewalla is pricey but amazing. I am running the Gold at home, and it runs Linux and supports Dockers so I’m running PiHole on the router.

At the same symposium I met Dick Rutan. I was standing in a group and he was across from me wearing his full dress uniform. Out of nowhere he sucks his hand out to me and says “Hi, I’m Dick Rutan, I flew around the world. Maybe you’ve heard of me.” My response was not eloquent.

I was at E3 once talking to Jordan Weisman about MechWarrior 4 when Steven Spielberg walked up. He said, “My kids aren’t going to believe I got to meet you!”, which left Jordan and I stunned. Apparently he and his kids were big 'mech fans.

Neil Armstrong. Got to shake his hand at a symposium where he gave a talk.

And tomato soup to dip it in.

Here I sit all broken hearted;
Came to shit and only farted.

But I’d feel worse if I didn’t sit,
cut a fart, and found I’d shit.
