You did your job.
Half the round of sixteen is set. And Mexico ain’t part of it. Adios, my southern friends. Amazon has my respect. I wonder if people will go batshit like they’re doing with Elon? A bunch of college basketball is happening as we wait for the football CCGs. And the ACC/Big Ten Challenge is a set of mismatches and exhausted teams that have traveled too much over the last couple weeks. Not great stuff. And that’s it for sports.
STEEEEEEEEE-RIKE TWO!!!! Let’s see if they whiff again at the Supreme Court.
This needs to be stayed immediately. And then needs to be used as an example for why democracy is an ass.
At least they’re doing something to slow spending. Unfortunately, it’ll only be temporary. And the money will end up being spent. But I hope they win on this point.
Don’t trust media.
Yeah…no shit. But they accomplished their goal, so they really don’t give a shit.
It was aliens. You know how I know it was aliens? Because it was aliens.
I know how this is gonna end: the city will pay a bunch of money out. The police will not have to admit wrongdoing. And things will continue as they always have.

“Let’s see if they whiff again at the Supreme Court.”
I hope so, or the court is useless.
Whoopsie, teehee.
I hate myself, so I listened to the Bill Maher podcast with Sam Harris. Sam thinks everyone distorted his views when he said the laptop could have dead children on it and he still would not have cared. Then proceeded to not claim it was hyperbole, but no that is how he feels.
He thinks the NY Post was “right by accident.”
CWAA
Reminds me of the COVID amnesty article from a few weeks ago that said people that were against mandates and lockdowns were only right by accident. If some people are consistently right “by accident”, maybe it’s not actually an accident, and they should be listened to, instead of silenced.
A little research goes a long ways towards avoiding accidentally getting the vaccine.
Yoel be sorry.
““We didn’t know what to believe, we didn’t know what was true, there was smoke — and ultimately for me, it didn’t reach a place where I was comfortable removing this content from Twitter,” Roth said during an interview at the Knight Foundation conference.
“But it set off every single one of my finely tuned APT28 ‘hack and leak campaign’ alarm bells,” he added, using an alternative name for the Russian cybercrime group Fancy Bear.
Asked if it was a mistake for Twitter to have blocked the story from being shared, Roth responded: “In my opinion, yes.””
It was not a mistake. You did it deliberately.
Was that wrong? Should I not have done that?
He wasn’t “comfortable” censoring it. But he did.
And exactly what made him (and all those intel guys) think it was a Russian op? They keep saying that, and I keep not seeing a single specific.
It… it… it just HAD to be OK?!
Brennon told them so?
Zuckerborg said (on Rogan’s show) that the FBI came to him directly and told him there was “Russian disinformation” being released. And he took it from there and blocked anything against Biden, basically. I am sure that the same group of people who did that did it too all of the other SocMed companies.
The real question is who told him to censor it.
The guy tweeted that there were “ACTUAL NAZIS IN THE WHITE HOUSE”. No one had to tell him. It was all hands on deck. No one had to tell the election workers. No one had to tell Hollywood. It was understood by all right-thinking people that ORANGE HITLER MUST GO BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY.
Wonder what the motorcycle cop was thinking in the second video.

Horrific.

Yeah — no real details on what was crude or sexually explicit (I’d bet it was just colorful language like “f’ing idiot”, frankly)… but the whole “anti-vax statements are against our Culture Code” not being called out as the anti-American, anti-free-speech bullshit that it is got me in that article.

U.S. Threatens to Start Trade Fight With Mexico Over GMO Corn Ban
On the plus side I believe Team Blue is planning to strip Iowa from being first of the caucuses because of lack of “diversity”. This could allow for the nomination of somebody from Team Blue who would prefer shovel money at something else instead.
100% of the corn grown anywhere is genetically modified in some fashion. It isn’t teosinte anymore. The scientifically illiterate just get scared by the ability to do the modifying with much greater precision.
It’s so much better to leave things to random chance.
Meh. GM specifically refers to transgenic. Pretending otherwise is like someone claiming they’re not antisemites because they love Arabs.
^ This. It’s been about 15 years for me, but I spent a year in a lab genetically modifying Xenopus laevis to better understand transgene expression. Even back then, transgenic modification of organisms is to generations of selective breeding as taking a step off your back porch is to Neil Armstrong stepping off the lunar lander. It’s not remotely the same concept. Traditional generational breeding produces beneficial organisms over time as changes are slow and undesirable/dangerous/ineffective mutations can easily be discarded without further reproduction. There is no such safeguard with GMOs.
Confirmation bias plays strong with GMOs. I think it’s very similar to the view most shared on vaccines as being an unequivocal good until Covid woke a lot of people up to the misuse and potential dangers. GMOs are the same way. Some are great, some not so great, and some have the potential for incredibly dangerous misuse.
The problem with Mexico’s stance is that it is willing, at least from what I have read, to throw out the baby with the bathwater. There are many long-term proven viable GMO’s, such as golden wheat, that could be threatened by this. I will readily admit I don’t know much about cereals, but I would think there are a few good corn varieties that fall under this umbrella.
I agree. There are proven GMOs that are beneficial. Mocking those with concerns about the potential harms of GMOs as being scientific illiterate just tracks too closely with the Left’s mantra of Science Deniers (TM). There’s a gray area discussion here, just like with vaccines.
“undesirable/dangerous/ineffective mutations can easily be discarded without further reproduction”
Meh. Orange carrots may have been desirable for patriotic reasons (The Dutch flag) and arent dangerous, but they are relatively ineffective compared to other colored carrots.
The slowness doesn’t mean the bad mutations will be discarded.
So being anti-GMO is being transphobic.
This is why it’s important to refresh the page before posting…
+1 “there’s dihydrogen monoxide in the water!”
It’s within acceptable levels. The tests for hydrogen hydroxide and oxidane have been inconclusive.
You can get a decent estimate of those by looking at the amount of dehydrogenated hydronium.
100% of maize grown in the Americas is genetically modified. It’s a cultigen (or cultivar? I always forget which term to use).
Plus I wonder in what form it is being used. It can’t all be directly for human consumption. I’m assuming animal feed and corn syrup and the like.
Mendel was a square anyways,
In an interview with journalist Kara Swisher, Roth appeared to deflect the blame — insisting that even though he had concerns about the authenticity of the first son’s device, it never got to the point where he thought the story should be suppressed.
“We didn’t know what to believe, we didn’t know what was true, there was smoke — and ultimately for me, it didn’t reach a place where I was comfortable removing this content from Twitter,” Roth said during an interview at the Knight Foundation conference.
“But it set off every single one of my finely tuned APT28 ‘hack and leak campaign’ alarm bells,” he added, using an alternative name for the Russian cybercrime group Fancy Bear.
Content moderation has a thousand fathers, but censorship is an orphan.
Exactly how finely tuned is your Fancy Bear Radar, Mr. Roth? Considering we’re discussing a mighty big type I error, do you think you might have the gain turned up a wee bit high?
Can’t be all that good, shoeonhead beat him on the recent ad campaign.
He’s just making shit up.
“We didn’t know what to believe, we didn’t know what was true“
So you censored it even though for all you knew, it was 100% true? Or maybe because you had a pretty good idea it was 100% true.
“there was smoke”
What smoke? What factual basis did you have for doubting its authenticity?
Obviously the kind of smoke that interferes with finely tuned radar.
If the Democrats honestly thought it was fake, then they would have made the effort to verify it because finally they would have a smoking gun for RUSSIAN COLLUSION. That they didn’t shows they thought it was real. It was also consistent with everything they already knew about Hunter Biden.
The smoke from the burning cross the Democrats put in his yard as a warning?
Hey finely tuned radar man, maybe the fact that nobody in the biden campaign, or even Hunter himself, ever claimed that the laptop was not his. They fact they all just kept their mouths shut and let you and the MSM carry the story for them was a radar reflecting clue.
Odd OT question, but can anyone here recommend some place other than eBay or Facebook Marketplace to sell a used laptop and cell phone? I really don’t want to add my SSN and PII to yet another payment processor just to start selling on eBay again (particularly since the one they switched to after they ditched PayPal has already had a major data breach), and I’d sooner throw them in Lake Mead than open a FB account.
Is Craig’s list still a thing?
Does Craigslist still exist and allow sales? Anywhere locally you can donate them?
CL’s still around, but I’ve had zero luck selling anything on there lately. Everybody has migrated to FB Marketplace for the most part for local sales, it seems. Meh. I could donate them I guess, although I could use the spare cash at the moment.
Got a local free weekly newspaper?
Now that you mention it, we may at that. I’ll have to check the rack on my next grocery run to see if the Nifty Nickel still exists.
The various closets full of old electronics testify that I would not have a solid contribution in this space, sorry.
If I wasn’t moving soon they’d go in just such a closet, but I don’t want to be hauling around a lot of superfluous stuff. I just recently got rid of about 1 small U-Haul box worth of cables and misc. e-waste I’ve been hoarding since my teens.
I guess you don’t necessarily have to add SSN or PII to use Facebook marketplace?
Derp, nevermind I can’t read.

While it creates onerous new regulations, there is no ban on firearms or creating further classes of restricted persons, only on standard capacity magazines.

And enjoy this lovely, chilly Thursday my friends.
Looks like our cold snap is over for a bit. Sunny and 52 today!
We might get snow this PM, but it seems sunny now.
We got some the other day but it’s mostly gone already. Sunshine, ftw!
Today is the first day of Advent of Code. You are all invited.
It’s rather embarrassing that as much time as I spend using and discussing computer technology I’m not proficient in anything besides markup language. I’ve been meaning to take up some independent study on the subject, but this ain’t the time for it.
Coding in general is over-rated.
That’s fair, especially regarding the type of basic webdev JS you pick up on “lrn2code” bootcamps and whatnot (although if I’m being honest, that wouldn’t be a bad trajectory for me at this point in my life). But it’s still not a bad skill to have in the back pocket, and there’s times when I’ve run into issues that I had to rely on someone else to fix when I could have just written and contributed a patch myself if I had even some basic systems-level programming skills. When I was in college I told myself I’d learn C and C++ once I finished school. Probably a bit long in the tooth for that now.
No reason to learn C or C++ unless you want to write software that generates software, or a fucking device driver (maybe with a smattering of Assembler). If you want to write code that people interact with you’ll use a much higher abstraction tool.
It’s the difference between developing the toolset that runs a 3D printer and using that toolset.
That was the source of my interest, actually. Not building them per se, but maintaining them. Bearing in mind that back when I was in college Linux driver support was not what it is today, and I was dealing with NDISwrapper a lot. More recently, I had to fumble my way around stackexchange and startpage to make a minor tweak to get a relatively obscure out of tree driver to build against a kernel 2 generations newer than the one the device shipped with, because I’m too stubborn to either run an out of date kernel or throw away an old 99 dollar SBC-turned-laptop that I only use for reading ebooks…
Well, being that stubborn, enjoy the C coding!
Oh I doubt I’ll ever do it now, that’s just an example of why I was interested in those relatively lower level languages. I can’t imagine I’ll actually patch enough drivers in 10 lifetimes to make the investment of time and energy worth it, and I don’t see becoming a self-taught kernel dev in my late 30s.
The smart people write the higher languages (often in C/C++). I use those languages to code workflows.
I am almost exclusively C and some smattering of assembly and write stuff humans interact with.
Said humans outside of the company are systems administrators, granted. 😉
But on behalf of those folks down in the bowels getting the system running enough to host your cute little web services… pbbbbttt! 😉
He did say that work is what the smart people do.
My last corporate job was for a software development tool company – we built the toolset for applications developers. We looked like an interpretative language but underneath created C-code for compilation (so that the run-time wasn’t burdened by interpretation). Even better we were an object-oriented tool but spawned C, not C++. I was on the customer support side, teaching how to use the tool; the really smart guys were on the development side.
There’s the side benefit that you need to learn to break things down into discrete steps, as well as learning about boolean logic and the like.
Even the bash scripting and smattering of Perl I’ve done has entailed some degree of that.
It’s acting a lot like winter around here.
same here. I know it’s normal weather, but it’s cold for what we’ve become adjusted to.
It is the first day of winter.
It is not. Why do you keep saying that?
Akshually, he’s the best kind of correct
https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/news/meteorological-versus-astronomical-seasons
No, it just means there are more types of wrong.
I especially do not believe the word of a government agency.
Well, I prefer that definition over St Patrick’s day being in winter.
If there’s still snow on the ground, green beer day is in winter.
We’ve had snow before December 21.
So winter starts around Halloween most years?
It’s still above freezing, so it’s not winter yet.
Some years it starts earlier, some years, I played baseball in december.
Winter is the 3 coldest months. Summer is the 3 warmest. Here March is warmer than December and September is cooler than June.
Nope. You are not guaranteed three months of any season.
So you follow a dynamic definition of the seasons where you check the weather each day to determine when they start and end like some people do with determining lunar months?
St. Paddy’s sees sub-freezing temperatures, but it’s so late that winter acclimation lets you put your bare hands on the rooftop patio railings without discomfort.
Why not?
UnCiv, aren’t you also in favor of eliminating time zones and switching everyone to zulu?
No, I’ve never advocated using that clock.
I believe the time equivalent would be switching to local solar.
Endorsed.
It is the start of meteorological winter.
I hear you brother.
We just finished our second snow storm of the year. About 8″ on the ground, lakes are iced over and other than this Friday (39) the warmest it will be until 12/15 is the low 20’s.
Time to start getting the ice fishing rods tuned up.
Oh, Mr Fancy Pants uses reel ice fishing rods. A 1/2 dowel with 2 nails to wind the line up on was my preferred. If a giant (4 lb) northern pulled it through the ice I made another one.
/Thrifty, not cheap
That was pretty much the rig I learned how to ice fish with.
I still catch norts with a handline. Either my tipup has a simple spool on it, or I have a clip in my fishhouse that simply holds the sucker minnow in place and then I just have line.

*makes note*
So this morning one of the torsion springs on my garage door decided to break. My friends at YouTube make me think this is not a bad job to replace.
Anyone here ever performed such a project?
(Im very aware to let the tension off of the unbroke spring before monkeying with it)
I have a once or twice in my life. Last time was at least ten years ago so I’m far from an expert. All I can remember is that replacing the torsion spring was a massive pain in the ass that took three times longer than I thought it would…so…have fun with that.

I’ve seen the same. I never felt especially good about installing and winding up the new one.
I think it would depend how much it costs me to get somebody else over to do it.
I paid some guy. He knew what to do, I’d have been learning, the hard way
I’d call someone, but I’m lazy.
/shrug
I’ve done it. Will never do it again.
Call someone.
It can be dangerous. Would not attempt.
Quick update- I just now realized that my door (single care garage) only has 1 spring. I may be just dumb enough to attempt.
Something I never understood about my Bryan house: It was built in the ’50s. I could not drive my Z3 into the garage — I had to get it out and push it in because it would only barely fit. Obviously a typical 1950s land yacht would not fit at all.
Having a garage increases the sale price. You don’t need to be able to fit a car in it.
Most people have used them for storage anyway.
Well yeah — storage of a car.
I can only guess that the length of auto ownership must have been much less than today. The sun in that part of TX is just unbelievably destructive. Or maybe there was originally a carport in addition to the garage.
Why not both? My wife can barely fit her Juke in the garage after storage if we climb out the sun roof.
I screwed around with the tensioning once while trying to untangle side cables. And the bracket at the end of the cable whipped around and into the ceiling from the unleashed force, making me realize that if I had been standing one foot to the right, it would have probably gone into my skull.
Fucking.
Call.
Someone.
The potential energy in those springs is not something you want to have in the “Fuck around and find out” space.
My point about a single spring. It already un-tensioned. I can only fuck it up by putting it under tension. Which is a distinct possibility.
Likely a beer-less repair. At least until its done.
Ive already sent a pic to a contractor friend of mine with “want to make beer money?”
I’ve done it, it’s mildly terrifying, but not difficult.
I bought my own tool, because the one that came with the spring was short and a little sketchy.
Watch some youtube videos and be careful.
switch to a rollup door.
This is the tool I bought:

If you have to wonder, the answer is “yes”.
Speaking of don’t trust the media, a public piece from Taibbi!
I thought it was a good article, but Taibbi seems to studiously ignore a major part of the problem, namely that the universities don’t pump out “journalists” any more, just activists.
He focuses too much on his favorite boogeyman, Roger Ailes, and blames him for the beginning of the the end of the institution when the institution was already corrupted.
Yeah, he doesn’t get that the proliferation/fragmentation of the media wasn’t just an inevitable thing. It was business, strictly business, nothing personal. He almost always
‘balances’ the MSNBC back against Fox, but he can’t resist treating Fox as the bête noir.
Modern journalism isn’t an aberration, it’s a return to the norm. And the Cronkite era was in many ways just as phony, except you didn’t have completing outlets to undercut the official narrative.
This. He’s remembering a bygone era that never existed. True they’ve become more blatant and unhinged since Trump broke their brains but hearkening back to a time when journalists were trustworthy is like hearkening back to a time when politicians were trustworthy: it never happened.
Even the founding fathers had their own paid journalists/newspaper guys inventing the news
Yeah, people that have never studied history have no idea how nasty things were in those days.
Nasty in kind of a hilarious way, though. People think Trump’s tweets were mean, but the vitriol between politicians back then was amazing!
I remember my dad calling Cronkite a Pinko. Because Cronkite was the face of network TV news when they were all in favor of the Viet Nam war while the Democrats had the White House and then suddenly were reporting nothing but the body count in Vet Nam after Nixon won.
I remember an opposite phenomenon when Obama won, all the kill counts disappeared from the news crawl.
‘This bifurcated system is fundamentally untrustworthy. When you decide in advance to forego half of your potential audience, to fulfill the aim of catering to the other half, you’re choosing in advance which facts to emphasize and which to downplay. You’re also choosing which stories to cover, and which ones to avoid, based on considerations other than truth or newsworthiness.
This is not journalism. It’s political entertainment, and therefore unreliable.’
I know he’s attributing a great deal of this attitude due to the myriad of media options we currently enjoy but aside from the loss of trust in the generic Big 3 network newsman giving us all carefully curated goverment issued information, hasn’t it always been thus?
I think the differentiating factor is that the postmodern incarnation of journalism accepts and asserts that there are different truths. Even in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary, they refuse to change their narratives.
The old system would at least occasionally self-correct when embarrassed. The new version doesn’t get embarrassed, it just doubles down.
+1 Fake but accurate.
+1 Losing Cronkite on Vietnam
This is literally the POINT for a certain generation of journalismists.
I remember people saying they wanted to get into the biz in order to “change the world” or “make the world a better place.” That is explicitly saying you want to use your (selective) reporting in order to change people’s behavior.
Whenever I hear someone talking about ‘changing the world,’ I immediately think of extermination camps…
I think Inuyasha, but that’s just ear worms talkin’.
And here I thought “Inuyasha” was a Nippon suppository
Inserting a pair of watermelon-sized “breasts” into his top will help in this area.
Getting down to business
The Bidens’ first state dinner features butter-poached lobster with a side of hospitality
——-
The guest list for Biden’s first state dinner was big from the start, made extra-large to include all of the people who have missed out on key social time with the president due to Covid-19 restrictions. Having done the mental calculations months ago as planning began, said two people familiar with the dinner’s details, the East Wing, the West Wing, the State Department and the National Security Council’s lists ballooned.
This first State Dinner offered the opportunity to finally make amends to VIPs and diplomats, members of Congress and deep-pocketed donors. A decision was made to hold the dinner in a tent on the South Lawn, which will allow them to comfortably seat the more than 400 guests expected to attend. (The White House is referring to the tent as a “pavilion,” as it has clear panels on the sides.)
It’s never too soon to start campaigning.
*Didn’t I just see a story about how lobster fishing is killing all the whales? Greenpeace ain’t gonna like it. Maybe they’ll glue themselves to the White House driveway.
Um, Biden is a Democrat. Nobody is getting glued to anything.
“Environmentalists” should have a discussion with people in MN and MT. It’s not the pastoral Eden they think it is. I can already hear the reeeeeeeeeing when we open a wolf season to control the out of control numbers.
Folly.
Good. Removing an apex predator thinking it doesn’t have knock on effects is hubristic folly too.
Thousands of years ago there were North American cheetahs, which were the predators that kept Pronghorns in check. We should reintroduce cheetahs too.
After the Commies eliminate the modern world the way we’ll obtain food is killing feral dogs with spears then spitroasting them. We’ll also gain mating privileges through single to-the-death hand-to-hand combat.
Isn’t stabbing them enough? Do you really have to defile the corpses too?
The girlfriend was freaked out when she got home last night. She asked if we had coyotes or wolves in the area, as she thought she saw one crossing the street when she was driving home. I pointed out that we live very close to a very large park, and even some of the suburbs to the north of us with much less park access has had coyotes for the past several years.
I hear coyotes yipping out in the open fields near my house from time to time. One particular year the annual desert cottontail migration happened to be pretty much in my backyard, so we heard quite a bit from them then.
Animal control came and took Bobby Cat. He was the last of the bobcats left. He would stroll through my back yard a lot looking for rabbits. Even when I was back there. He did no harm to me or any other person, and he kept the rabbits in check. Sad.

The return of THICC Thursday!

“Environmentalists” should have a discussion with people in MN and MT. It’s not the pastoral Eden they think it is. I can already hear the reeeeeeeeeing when we open a wolf season to control the out of control numbers.
Those incredibly knowledgeable
environmentalistswannabe zookeepers who were “amazed” by the rate of growth of the packs introduced into Yellowstone? Just because there was an essentially unlimited food supply?Yes, by all means, listen to them.
The local greenies were shocked when the mountain lions ate half the bighorn sheep that were reintroduced into the Catalina Mountains next to Tucson.
Bright, they ain’t.
This ain’t no Disney movie.
Cuck?
https://www.thesun.co.uk/dear-deidre/20610595/boyfriend-slept-other-men-pride/
Guys being sluts. Details at 11:00.
Doesn’t seem like a cuck, as OP doesn’t seem inclined to take his ex back, and for good reason…
Speaking of don’t trust the media, a public piece from Taibbi!
NPR would never lie to me!
It isn’t lying when they truly, with all of their hearts, believe it!
And even if it is a lie, it’s for your own good!
I know how this is gonna end: the city will pay a bunch of money out. The police will not have to admit wrongdoing. And things will continue as they always have.
The article says the family is only suing for a measly $2M? Did they not love their kid?
St. George Floyd’s family got $27M. And he was a thug. Who may not even have been killed by the cop.
An autistic kid who had done nothing wrong should get way more than that?
Did the kid’s death spawn a national crime wave– er, protest movement??
Autistics don’t like crowds.
You need the national race freak out and BLM riots to get George Floyd level cash.
I’m waiting to see how my colleague will attempt to get me to lose Whamageddon this year
Geez. The forecast on why layoffs are needed has got some rather grim forecasts.
TL;DR;CSBoNDA:
Costs of inputs track with inflation, demand for non-automotive chips falls off cliff. Especially home computing and smart gadgets.
I forgot to ask whether your position was secure.
They haven’t announced specifics yet. Overall rate of headcount reduction is in my favor, if they’re sincere about preferentially removing executive and non-manufacturing positions, that’s also good for me. Bad for me: I’m expensive.
🤞
Thanks.
I’m hope I’m cheap enough to make it through. I know I am underpaid.
Beeetch, I’m WORTH it!
Not semiconductors, but we are getting pummeled. Between inputs, project hesitancy and insane labor increases this isn’t much fun.
The current phrase that was bandied about quite liberally in the quarterly all hands meeting yesterday was “commitment hesitancy”.

Well that was unexpected.
Beautiful, Holiness. Thanks!
Why do you do this to me?
Are you still malingering and trying to get Mrs. Fourscore to haul you around on her back everywhere? You are worried, she’ll see that video and realize that people actually recover and can start walking on their own again?
Quiet, you. It took me 50 years (almost) to get this gig and now you’re trying to out me.
Sloop, you’ve done it again. Great music choices. I saw PIL with New Order when I was in high school. Pure bliss.
“I made a mistake censoring the Hunter Biden thing”. I don’t believe for a second this person regrets it. This is pure ass covering.

https://samkriss.substack.com/p/the-secret-history-of-wakanda
A thoroughly depressing article mostly because of how plausible it is.
https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/how-next-civil-war-begins
We’re already in a civil war.
So far it’s thankfully remained cold. Although the left seems determined to make it an actual hot war.
Good article.
Some truth there.
But those are all examples of fringe activity. Most people don’t watch MSNBC. Most people haven’t read White Fragility, etc.
Most people are not plugged in to those activities or platforms.
Yeah, I’ll disagree with the Lincoln scenario.
What fucking troops are going to obey those orders? Maybe the generals but not the sergeants – somewhere in the military chain of command there will be a fuck you response. And then they just decide to sit out this civil war, or they decide to fight it but outside of uniform.
So now you’ve got what – the antifa shock troops against the lard ass militia boys? Better have a big supply of popcorn for that.
Not sure I agree with that. 20 years ago, yes, but it appears that there have been dramatic changes in the rank and file military.
You can’t underestimate propaganda. There is a reason that we are being painted as a “threat to democracy.”
We’ve already seen that the cops are perfectly willing to turn on their neighbors. I have no doubt that today’s armed forces aren’t far behind.
The incredible shrinking military rank and file? They can’t replenish and they can only retain so much. Our military is a paper tiger right now and that would be against a legitimate threat.
I have a low enough opinion of cops because they are never held accountable, so that behavior is easy enough to predict. But even there, you don’t see rural cops going along with the Oregon gun ban – so they aren’t all the dregs.
What fucking troops are going to obey those orders?
No way to know how many, but it won’t be zero.
No, not zero. And nowhere near 100%. That won’t exactly be hidden either, which further reduces the legitimacy of the orders.
“March troops into red areas” fails as most of the EM are red state residents. Even now we see a preponderance of evidence.
The military will fracture like the nation. Some will go along, but not enough to actually win the war they’d be fighting.
But, muh nukular bombs!
The troops will sit down, shut up, and do as they are told, just as they have across time and countries since forever. Sure, a few will speak up or refuse orders, and they will quickly be punished and replaced.
With all due respect to the veterans here and among my family, friends, and coworkers, the notion of the military refusing to point guns at its own citizens is laughable.
They won’t be replaced, the military is already losing that fight. The prime source of recruits is on the ‘wrong side of history’.
Everyone who swore the oath equally has to disobey unlawful orders. This isn’t the Schutzstaffel.
How is Mata/Google/Apple’s research into autonomous vehicles going anyway?
The Buchanan scenario isn’t even likely, just more plausible than the Lincoln. What is most likely is the War of the Roses.
Eh. I didn’t find it very plausible, because there isn’t that much fundamental difference between the parties. I think it would take a complete economic collapse or some other major disaster to cause a break up any time soon.
I tend to agree. But the parties, however minor the leadership’s differences may be, do a fine job of whipping up their followers into a frothing frenzy, They may find that the tigers they are riding have their own ideas.
There are a number of outcomes possible (/Captain Obvious OFF). I think at this point its a race between economic collapse and CCP style social credit control.
…between economic collapse and CCP style social credit control.
Embrace the power of both!
I keep coming back to this.
The country is split by urban/rural with the suburbs straddling the fence.
There won’t be any splitting up along regional lines or state boundaries.
If there is armed conflict it will be centered around the big cities.
Siege tactics will come back in vogue.
Can any of you help me sneak out of the gulag when the shooting starts?
Bring your firepower and a shelter half, we’ll make room for you.
“Turn out the lights, the party’s over.”
Most big cities can be isolated, logistically speaking.
Starting with electricity into them.
You mean like in Ukraine?
Isolating the big cities will cause the economic collapse of the rest of the country. Like it or not, cities are economic engines that drive rural economies, too.
Don’t know what cities you’re dealing with but around here they’re storehouses for excess pople and produce nothing of value.
“Rome lived upon its principal till ruin stared it in the face. Industry is the only true source of wealth, and there was no industry in Rome. By day the Ostia road was crowded with carts and muleteers, carrying to the great city the silks and spices of the East, the marble of Asia Minor, the timber of the Atlas, the grain of Africa and Egypt; and the carts brought out nothing but loads of dung. That was their return cargo.”
…Winwood Reade, “The Martyrdom of Man” (1871)
Agreed.
The question becomes who recovers faster.
You can cut access to heating fuel, water, and food to cities. You can’t really cut those to rural communities beyond strikes here and there. The ensuring economic collapse wouldn’t be fun for those living in rural areas, but it would be survivable. Not so for those in the cities.
That’s the way I see it.
Bad for me; terrible for them. I’ll survive, the cities won’t.
Are you assuming there are no heavily armed people in cities? How long before they venture into the hinterlands?
We better not let it come to that.
Of the heavily armed demographics, I expect to see them pillaging from fellow city-dwellers before venturing against the armed blockade.
There are many heavily armed people in the cities. The gang leaders will become war lords controlling major parts of the cities. The suburbs will be raided ruthlessly.
This is why I live hundreds of miles from any of those big cities.

“I agree!”
/Tayor Lorenz
And even if it is a lie, it’s for your own good!
I’m a baaaad boy.
Crazy or complicit?
Not crazy, just stupid.
Sam is the most useful idiot of 2022. That’s saying a lot. He absolutely was complicit in an attempt to bring down the crypto industry. He may be the next Biden.
He’s at best a fine example of the ends justifying the means. That could be a splendid lesson for our culture right now.
Duh thought I had about public schools the other day.
Lets start with something obvious, the one size fits all approach is bad. Kids learn in different ways. So there is no one right way.
But, lets suppose there was. If so, and the “educators” really believed in education, all public elementary schools would be Montessori. It is more right for more kids than whatever is being done in most schools today.
The fact that they are pushing one-size-fits-all type education AND aren’t pushing Montessori suggests alternate goals.
Like I said, duh.
Reason for this thought.
First background…I think it is known around here that I am good at math. My major was the most math intensive of the engineering majors. I took more math beyond the requirements. I am still pissed 35 years later that I missed one question on the math section of the SAT.
My daughter, who I acknowledge may be smarter than me, is doing math in 1st grade that I know I didnt do until at least 3rd. or 4th. Her school had a parent education night recently to discuss the process of math education within Montessori. The process is amazing and gives a deep understanding of HOW math works, not just the facts. It is the kind of thing “new math” is supposed to do, but there are 100+ year old techniques that are much better than “new math”.
The thing is, it is not just my daughter. She has good math genes, probably, but everyone in her class is doing the stuff she is doing (maybe at a slightly lower or higher level).
Anyway, just my random rant for the day.
Caclulus?
Not yet. And she spells about as good as you.
I was a public skuul graduate.
Her school is a charter school, so sort of public.
Kamala math?
I asked one my kids teachers point-blank, if you have a brilliant teaching method that works for 90% of the kids, what do you do about the other 10%. The teach essentially said the kids are failing and need to get with the program.
THIS RIGHT HERE IS WHY SCHOOL CHOICE EXISTS AND NEEDS TO EXIST EVERYWHERE.
20% of the kids don’t need much teaching, only guidance. 60% go along, find someone to copy homework, 20% are disruptive and unconcerned.
Need more vocational classes for those that are interested.
I admit there is selection bias, but I think the first number is much higher than 20%, based on my daughter’s school.
And they probably don’t tolerate the bottom 20%
I think it is more 3%. There may be one kid.
OMFG.
After a long anti-Russia rant, an employee from Burlington got on the livecast in order to say how proud he was that the last thing that a Russian soldier would hear before he died was the whistle of a GF-chip containing Javelin.
A: Seems inappropriate.
B: Can you even hear that from inside a vehicle?
C: If not, why are you firing anti-tank missiles at infantry?
Yeah, I’m hoping that bit of histrionics was his way of volunteering for the headcount reduction.
If someone is that comfortable expressing the amount of bloodthirst, I could see upholding someone’s complaint that they “felt unsafe” around that person.
Especially if the complainant was Russian.
Yeah, that’s awful.
Said just before he resigned and went off to join the mercs in Ukraine?
LOL one of my projects that must be ready for user testing by the “end of December” and which was already hopelessly behind due to missing requirements and lack of experience (“use this technology that you need to learn first”) now has a new requirement that will tack on another couple weeks. And there is nobody to fill in for me when I go on vacation in two weeks.
You don’t have your requirements yet?
They are trickling in page by page. I have user stories for maybe 3 pages out of 8 or 9.
NB: I am not a web programmer.
And LOL I have now been anointed as the “subject matter expert” within my team for this piece of technology that I am still learning.
Sure, right now you’re the one-eyed man in the kingdom of the blind. That makes you the “expert”.
In the kingdom of the blind, the one-eyed man is crazy.
I just had someone follow up on an e-mail that I had sent them back in March asking for details.
Yeah… we’re going to need to start that over. I don’t remember the details of what you were asking for over 8 months later.
So, any updates on this?
When I pressed for details, they forwarded an e-mail from November 2021, that had questions for them in it… that they still didn’t have the answers to.
Priceless moments.
Lol.
Even the normies in France have had enough.
The best part is the multicultural representation among the street cleaners vs the protestors.

Not near enough of that in this country.
In this country the people removing the assholes would probably get arrested.
My first thought too.
Viva l’homme grande!
Is it part of their MO to lay down and get dragged away like mannequins ?
I like to think that if they felt strongly enough to block traffic, they’d at least get in lard ass’s face and start yelling about the point they’re making.
Yeah. Get dragged to the side of the street and just lay there like a pile of knocked-over bowling pins.
The last thing those soyboys want is an actual physical confrontation. Plus, lard ass looks pretty damn strong to me, the way he casually drags the soyboys over and tosses them on the curb. I’d think two or three times before getting in a punch-up with him.
“This teacher is doing it all wrong. He needs to say he’s now a woman. Or if already a woman, start wearing a fake beard to school. Then s/he will be beyond reproach”
Which glib is this?
Seriously, why is this origination, unless it was an official account? Sounds like a first amendment case is they go after him.
In light of the past 2 years or so with Fauci and the vax, I cant really argue with the guy other than his choice to use a public platform to spew his vitriol.
I dont know what standards he’s contractually obligated to adhere to as a teacher, but that’s his fault. As much as I dont want to hear some pink-haired dyke administrator telling my kid he needs a boob job and hormone therapy.
Giving new meaning to the term “in steerage.”
In my opinion, a complete and rudder disgrace.
Take a bow before Swissy gets here with the stern glare.
Are you implying he’ll try to keel the thread?
If narrow gazes could keel, we’d all be dead by now.

If they are DBAs it sounds like several people here can use them.

Ackman thinks “SBF” is telling the truth? About what?
New Management: *steals my DBAs for another project*
New Management: Users are reporting slow running queries.
Me: I need my DBAs to investigate.
I wish I’d had the guts to say “What do you want me to do about it? I have no database people.”
Ah cowardice.
Fine line between cowardice and prudence in a work environment. I’m on your side.
New Management: Users are reporting slow running queries.
I’ll get right over and adjust the speed control on that!
There are times when there is an actual issue that can be addressed.
Fortunately for you, you know that but management (new or old) does not.
No, they just assume there is always something I can do but for whatever reason refuse to.
Oh man, you aren’t playing them anywhere near the opportunity they are giving you.
I remember working on a government project. They suddenly fired most of the DBAs. They figured they had enough database developers to do the work. They were surprised when we informed them it was a different skill set.
“You have two cows. You are the government…”
“You are the government and decide that two bulls will give more milk than two cows.”
“You are the government with two bulls, and you give both to _____ in exchange for milk. That country realizes bulls dont give milk, and asks for a bailout. You send them $_____ billion dollars to bolster milk production for refugees.”
Years ago, my wife’s naive friend visited and asked in all seriousness if we milk the bull. We offered to let her try, but warned it would taste different than the milk she’s used too. Unfortunately she wised up at that point.
Sell them. Use the money for executive luxuries. Tell Congress you need more money to buy cows?
Countdown to publication
The House Ways & Means Committee now has access to several years of former President Donald Trump’s tax records, days after the Supreme Court declined to block their release.
The Treasury Department said in a brief statement that it has “complied with last week’s court decision.” Under federal law, “[u]pon written request from the chairman” of the Ways and Means Committee or the Senate Finance Committee, the Treasury “shall furnish such committee with any return or return information specified in such request.”
In late July 2021, the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel wrote in an opinion that “the Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee has invoked sufficient reasons for requesting the former President’s tax information. Under section 6103(f)(1), Treasury must furnish the information to the Committee.” It was this action that Trump sought to stop with his lawsuit and now, the Treasury Department has said it has complied.
The law also states that the committee “must sit in closed executive session to receive” the records.
——-
It’s not yet clear whether the committee will release any records to the public.
I believe the law specifically prohibits disclosure of information from returns obtained by the committee for this alleged supervisory process.
Haha, I crack myself up.
Without the use of any outside help, I would like to see the committee explain what they are seeing in the returns.
Eh. I didn’t find it very plausible, because there isn’t that much fundamental difference between the parties. I think it would take a complete economic collapse or some other major disaster to cause a break up any time soon.
Unwinding the union would require revealing just exactly whose pockets are being picked, and by whom. Nobody (in power) wants that.

Elon Musk, mass murderer
Washington Post tech columnist Taylor Lorenz published a recent report warning that Twitter’s recent decision to end its COVID “misleading information” guidelines would lead to “more deaths.”
On Tuesday, Lorenz published the piece, titled, “Twitter ends its ban on covid misinformation,” which featured the subheadline, “Doctors and public health officials say Musk’s decision is a ‘huge step backwards’ and will lead to more deaths.”
Media and Twitter users noticed this week that Twitter, under Musk’s ownership, recently ended its policy to penalize accounts posting information on COVID-19 that made assertions contrary to “authoritative sources.”
Blah blah fucking blah.
REPENT. THE END IS NIGH.
I’m ready.
I already died of monkeypox.
Net Neutrality did me in.
Lorenz began her post with experts decrying the move, “Twitter will no longer enforce its policy against coronavirus misinformation, worrying experts who say the move could have serious consequences in the midst of a still-deadly pandemic.”
“The rollback of Twitter’s covid-19 misinformation policy is just the latest pivot since Elon Musk took control of the company a month ago,” she added.
Lorenz has been critical of Musk’s handling of the social media platform, recently claiming the billionaire CEO has turned it into a “disaster.”
In her story, Lorenz cited Emily Dreyfuss, the co-author of “Meme Wars: The Untold Story of the Online Battles Upending Democracy in America” who said, “During the pandemic, social media companies finally realized misinformation is a life-or-death issue because medical misinformation about covid had such dire consequences it could not be ignored.”
Ooh- dire consequences. Panicmongering never goes out of style.
Fuck you and the so-called experts you rode in on.
I read all of Lorenz’s quotes in a 13-year-old-girl “hey you guys” voice.
