Rage Against the Machine Reunites!

Yesterday it was My Chemical Romance, today its RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE.

No one has 100% validated this so I reached out to close personal friend, Tom Morello, but he would neither confirm or deny the rumor (or answer my calls).  More info as it becomes available, but feel free to start planning your Coachella 2020 trip.

**UPDATE** Industry sources have confirmed this is happening, as well as saying that other dates will be announced.  You can offiically start freaking out now! **

Hole in one!

Golf.com’s anonymous pro survey was revealed a number of things. The golfers talked about politics, drug use, and some of the worst golfers to play with. The most interesting part of the survey, however, was the fact that 41% of card-carrying PGA pros revealed that they had had sex on a golf course.

One player noted that it’s important to “avoid the sand traps”, while another gleefully wished to have that experience one day.

We don’t want to ask about the wildest place, you know, have done it, but we do have a very public Twitter and you can tag us with that information if you want.

Bill Murray lands a new position

Bill Murray is a man of mystery, someone who has truly decided to live his life to the fullest. He recently revealed in an interview with fellow comedian, Amy Schumer, that he applied for work at the P.F. Chang’s at the Atlanta airport.

Schumer rightfully clarified with Murray, who said that he was just looking for some fun. He described the PF Chang’s as “one of the great places”.

Word got back to P.F. Chang’s, who initially ignored Bill Murray’s application for whatever reason. We’re starting to think that they’re going to want to get in touch with Murray.

Is this a phone sex line number or the suicide hotline?

Hopefully, we will never need either a phone sex line or a suicide hotline, but in the case that you do, it’s important that you have the right number. A middle school in Los Angeles accidentally flipped two numbers in the suicide hotline number, which in return now leads students to a sex hotline.

The district’s superintendent noted that this was obviously a mistake in a letter to parents.

A look at Terminator’s look over the years

 

So with a new Terminator movie coming out to some positive reviews, the time-traveling robopocalypse film series has always turned heads with it’s human-destroying machines. IGN posted this video looking at how the Terminators have evolved with film technology from practical puppeteering in the 80’s to the groundbreaking CGI of the 90’s to the current day. It’s interesting look at visual effects in movie.

 

Social media creates suffering of biblical proportions

Kanye West he suffers “like Jesus” as a result of social media, accusing the apps of fueling sex addiction and tormenting married men.

This, of course, comes from the man that is married to the Queen of Thirst Traps, Kim Kardashian. West is a self-admitted former porn-addict who is obviously afraid of slipping back into his devilish ways.

We hope that Kanye doesn’t get tempted by any thirst traps in the near future. The KQX Morning Crew, on the other hand, welcomes anyone to share what they’ve been gifted from God.

Car wash dumping goes wrong

In Kansas City, Missouri, a car wash owner is furious after a healthy amount of concrete mix was dumped onto the car wash bay. At first, the owner of the car wash, Dennis Nash, thought it was dirt as he checked in security cameras. Not polite, but not the end of the world. Then, he realized it was something much worse.

Seven days after the mix was dumped, it still hasn’t been cleaned up. Nash is now working with the Kansas City police to track down the dumper and to get his car wash up-and-running in time for the winter months.

Rodents in this Whole Foods might be an ‘Act of God’

For all of the rats that have infested Washington DC for decades, perhaps none have done as much damage as the rats that are currently residing in a Wisconsin Avenue Whole Foods in Washington D.C.

The store has been shut down for two years over the rodent infestation. Whole Foods and the owners of the building, Wical Limited Partnership, have been at war over whether or not Whole Foods can perform construction on the building.

Both sides have accused one another of violating the terms of their lease, so now a judge must decide whether or not an “Act of God” caused the rats to come to the store. If so, Whole Foods can do construction and get the people their Whole Foods back.

Good news! Floppy disks are no longer coordinating our nuclear defense system.

Up until this year, the President Of The United States could send emergency nuclear launch orders though a system that ran eight inch floppy disks.  Seriously.

But not anymore.  Solid state drives have replaced that antiquated storage media thanks to upgrades completed in 2019.  And it turns out that protection against hacking was a big reason why this computer system from the 1970s was left virtually unchanged.  From Engadget:

“The storage is used in an ancient system called the Strategic Automated Command and Control System, or SACCS. It’s used by US nuclear forces to send emergency action messages from command centers to field forces, and is unhackable precisely because it was created long before the internet existed. “You can’t hack something that doesn’t have an IP address. It’s a very unique system — it is old and it is very good,” [Lt. Col Jason] Rossi said.”  

So that old phrase “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” is the answer.  And this isn’t the only example. For crying out loud, DOT MATRIX printers are still being used in some industries.  What kind of ancient tech do you still use in your personal or work life, I wonder?  — [eric]

The sun is looking ready for Halloween

The sun is looking ready for Halloween
PHOTO COURTESY OF NASA

Just in time for All Hallows Eve, NASA has brought us this incredible photo of the sun looking like a jack-o-lantern.

According to the space agency, \”The active regions appear brighter because those are areas that emit more light and energy — markers of an intense and complex set of magnetic fields hovering in the Sun’s atmosphere\”

They even have high resolution versions on their website for free, in case you also want to make this your new computer wallpaper.
