"We were negotiating with the Pentagon. We had a blue screen of death. That was the last straw.
When you're holding the Moon for ransom, you value stability in an application. Linux gives us the power we need to crush those who oppose us.
It's compatible with our orbiting brain lasers.
I've got a Beowulf cluster of atomic supermen.
I have more friends now.
Genetically engineered cyber-goats. Henchmen with bad teeth. Gorgeous fembots with a penchant for evil.
I mean, Linux runs on anything.
I'm all about: Open Source. Just changed my love life.
You've got to config it. And then you have to write some shell scripts. Update your RPMs. You have to partition your drives. And patch your kernel. Compile your binaries. Check your version dependencies. Probably do that once or twice.
It's just so easy. And so simple. I don't know why everyone doesn't run Linux.
Thank God they don't, or then they would all be supervillains, wouldn't they? Heh heh.
I'm Steve, and I'm a supervillain."

Natural Swimming Pool

Natural Swimming Pool

I would love to build a natural swimming pool like this.

Natural Swimming Pool

"Swimming in natural water is a delight to our senses. Your skin and hair feels soft and your eyes don't sting. It seems as if, every cell in your body is telling you - this is the way swimming should be.

A Natural Swimming Pool is swimming pool that has clear water without using chemicals. These pools rely entirely on the plants and animals to condition the water.  This is so effective that this pool has been tested and shown to be of drinking water quality. Also, through the continual natural cleaning process the pool water never needs changing, saving water. Chemical free so it is healthy for people and wildlife. Wild Swimming at home."
