Joke I Just Heard From My Grandson

Burglar breaks into a house.  While gathering valuables, he hears, "Jesus is coming." A few minutes later, he hears the same voice.  The third time, he tracks down the voice.  It is a parrot.

"Why do you keep saying, 'Jesus is coming'?" 

"Because it's true.  My name is Oven."

"What sort of person names a parrot 'Oven'?"

"The sort of person who names their Rottweiler 'Jesus'."

Duncan v. Bonta, 9th Circuit Oral Arguments

You can watch them here.  I do not hear judges enthusiastically supporting California's LCM ban.  At least one judge knows enough about the technical aspects of firearms yask good questions.

A/V Question

We did the walkthrough of the new house with the builder today.  (Super nice guy; not building houses until he gets the capital out of this magnificent house next week ). He explained there was RJ5 (I think he meant RJ.5) and RJ6 (I think he meant RG6) from the Harry Potter closet to every bedroom.  

The mantle has a place for the TV and on the shelves to the side is an opening to cables that run up to behind the TV.  Currently, my TV has three HDMI cables: Roku box, DVD player, and a spare for hooking up a PC.  Do I hook up an HDMI to Ethernet adapter at the Roku box and the reverse at the TV?  How about the DVD player?  The goal is to reduce cabling.  

Is there a remote control switch that lets me select which of the several HDMI inputs should be fed to the HDMI to Ethernet adapter?

It looks like the right solution is a new TV with Roku built-in with WiFi.

Winter is Over Here
