Five for Friday – December 20, 2019

I’m going to take a few weeks off to end the year – the next FfF will be in early 2020 (ish).

In the meantime, check this stuff out.

  • I watched the impeachment hearings this week (spoiler, Trump was impeached). I tried to watch objectively, but Doug Collins being a shithead ruined it for me.

This isn’t my first time to PNSQC – I…
