Brett is pure quality over quantity.
What grade of quality is unstated.
If you were the principal of a Florida school, you’d drink too.
And take a variety of drugs.
Since Brett had to run let me assist.
From the comments it appears this guy walked away from a double tap from a guy with a poorly stanced truck.
Someone didn’t properly tighten their lugs…
(Also it was the whole spindle that broke.)

Biden has already blamed Republicans for not banning guns…
Personally, and it may be purely a sign of my paranoia — I found it rather coincidental that a Highland Park affiliated lobbyist just so happened to be in town and drive over in time to try to take over the press conference. It reeks of “planned event” to me.
Mrs. Dean and I were talking about that. The “identified as” is wokespeak, but “female” isn’t – the wokists say “woman”, because “female” still has the stink of objective, biological reality.
Our theory is this was wokespeak colliding with copspeak, since cops often refer to women as “females” in their reports.
Stunning and brave.
Since we’re adding links — a treasure trove of pulp magazines now available on-line.

When I was a teenager I acquired a stock of Astounding and the like from the 50’s. I didn’t understand some of the more adult issues but I devoured every word. I will spend some time wandering through that site and see if I can find anything that I remember.
From the missing lawyer article is this subhead:
Forensics in the bathroom, Tundra
At first I thought Brett was putting easter eggs into the news pages themselves, but then I realized the attorney probably drove a Tundra truck.
I’ve not been to Florida in years!
Of course not. Everyone knows Tundra is more of a northern thing….
*squints suspiciously*
I hear the thing to do is drive there with diapers on.
I’ve been buried in work all day.
Another school shooting a pile of bodies to stand upon. Wonderful…
That second link…
Even when they’ve got an MD, Florida Man is still Florida Man.
You’ll notice the article noted he did mostly plastic surgery on breasts too.
And he was gay. Peak Florida?

Microsoft Teams now lets you transform into a 3D avatar during meetings
So, instead of just fixing the program they’re adding garbage.
I would prefer Microsoft got it stable on a computer with less than a 10 Gb connection and 128 GB RAM.
You say that like getting stable DDR5 with EXPO-II timings working on a modern motherboard with over 2x32GB slots populated is doable… I swear the current gen has some major issues to work out…
We are freezing our networks and moving everything to the Cloud/Sharepoint/Teams by Friday and absolutely no one in our IT departments can answer even the simplest question on how to do something.
We just get the executive level hand wave and buzzwords with references to training that teachs only the most basic bullshit.
I have been ready to quit at least a half dozen times over the last three weeks.
I just saw a headline where MS was claiming that Teams will run twice as fast on the new version!
So you’ll have less time to wait between crashes and dealing with the garbage interface.
Marketing says we need more features. They don’t if they work reliably or don’t release CPU or memory.
(My work base install of Teams has twice the memory footprint of any other installation I’m familiar with.)
“don’t care”
Yeah, it’s a memory pig.
And work thoughtfully put our timesheets in there too so that’s fun.
Eew…that must be fun. Do you have a timesheet code for entering timesheets? We do..it gets a hefty 1 hour per 2/weeks for me on mine.
I use “Management And Administration” since there’s no code for that per se
Yeah, we have “Admin” for junk like reading emails and filling out timesheets. I put 1/2 hour there for each day.
What code do you use for posting to Word Press?
Those are nonbillable hours.
*RJ logs on.
“No Human Face Detected.”
*Sighs.
I will continue to blissfully ignore Teams as much as possible in favor of Slack (our R&D org I’m part of decided on that… then the rest of the company (being more beholden to MS in many ways) went Teams… so there is crap that happens there… but I don’t care and ignore it).
We use Slack, Zoom and Teams (one of our clients uses Teams)
I am not a cat.

Good think I never use the camera…now as UCS says, can fix all their other issues…like stop forcing me to choose between chat and the rest of the functions. I don’t want 1000 popup chat windows.
I would go out of my way to make my avatar look like some stereotype or like the dude that installs microwave ovens,

No. You didn’t lose it. You found it.
I was thinking of a Max Headroom avatar.
That’d be awesome if they could incorporate Max’s “reboot/stutter.” I’d use that avatar in a heartbeat.
Found mine.
Me too.

Frazetta is always a good choice.
To me, collaboration means showing my desktop or looking at someone else’s desktop. It has nothing to do with seeing anyone’s face.
Thats because you work in a technical discipline rather than sales.
And Teams is too technical for sales. Zoom is where sales is at.
I had to use Teams for the first time last month.
What a confusingly designed POS.
I will never complain about Webex again.
Webex and Zoom are terrible, and it just gets worse from there.
Try using it in the confines of the Federal Government where every somewhat promising feature is turned off.
Wheels adrift story time:
In 1994 or so, we were heading back to the hotel after Detroit IndyCar practice on a very busy interstate-grade road through Detroit. I was driving the team van, well in excess of the posted speed limit, just like everybody else. There may or may not have been beer-drinking in progress. Suddenly, I noticed a distinct burning rubber smell. I thought, “Haha, some poor fucker is about to have a flat tire.” At about that time, I saw a car up ahead lose its right rear wheel. I figured it would never get anywhere near me, but I kept an eye on it anyway. It threaded its way through three or four lanes of heavy traffic until it was crossing right in front of me toward the center barrier. I had it timed to let it go by, but then I thought, “What’s going to happen when it hits the Joisey barrier? It’s going to ricochet off and put a giant dent in the side of this rented van and I’ll be forced to fill out a bunch paperwork AND talk to cops. Fuck that.” I stabbed the brakes and stood the van on its nose, throwing everyone and everything in the van into total disarray. Sure as anything, that tire came back across in front of me at about ear level. About as soon as the tire came off the wall, I put the left side wheels up on the curbing and floored it. No idea what happened after that. I was kind of worried somebody behind me was going to hit it and fire it through the back window. But that didn’t happen.
The guy in the passenger seat looked at me and said, “Holy shit that was awesome. I didn’t think about it bouncing off the wall.”
We went back to the hotel, ate dinner and drank more beer.
The End.

I predict twin narratives: (i) Guns are bad; (ii) while this is a tragedy, it’s a stark reminder of how some Americans feel themselves to be threatened by the intolerant rhetoric emerging from Christians.

With my usual nod to the 48-hour rule:
Rampage killings in the United States fall into two distinct categories – narcissistic tantrums, and terror attacks. Women perpetrators are almost always in the later category. It will be interesting to see how this one shakes out.

Ugh..
Someone harboring feelings of hate towards their former school?
I think those three (yes I am shameless putting mine in there) will be the core of it all.
Old school or general anti-Christian hatred.

Women finally break through the glass ceiling to become mass shooters. Progress!
EXCUSE ME, IT’S SIR!
I keep telling you – chicks have been at this for at least 44 years.
Never let the truth stand the way of a good story.
Brenda Spencer weeps.
Biden will tout her as the first trans mass shooter at a Christian school. Truly historic.
Nope. We are going to see a lot of “we can’t assume that is real” or “its fake, its transappropriation!”
Those ‘firsts’ are all that matters, right Bro’?

The MNPD press conference revealed the attacker was as female who not only killed three children, but three adults as well.
MNPD initially noted the female “[appeared] to be in her teens” and she was shot and killed by police but later said the suspect was a 28-year-old woman.
She was armed with two rifles and a handgun.
MNPD spokesman Don Aaron said, “Officers entered the first story of the school, began clearing it, they heard shots coming second level, they immediately went to the gunfire. When the officers got to the second level, they saw a shooter, a female, who was firing. The officers engaged her and she was fatally shot by responding police officers.”
Aaron said the female attacker entered the school through a side entrance.
Because people intent on murder are stopped by permits and “gun free zone” signs…
Tennessee @GovBillLee hasn’t had time yet to tweet his thoughts and prayers for Covenant School, but when he does, remind him that this is exactly why police and citizens opposed the permitless carry bill he signed into law at a gun maker’s factory in 2021.
All of my usual acquaintances saying, “fuck your condolences and prayers, we need action.” You can put a million of gun laws in place and destroy the 2nd Amendment, but this kind of shit won’t stop because it’s a deep societal issue that won’t be solved by platitudes and passing new laws. This country has always been awashed in guns so why now? Why are these shootings happening in schools? To believe it’s because of our 2nd Amendment is plain foolish and shows that whoever believes are either a full-blown authoritarian or a small thinker.
It is what you get when the country is awash in hate and a lack of respect for life.

Let’s make it more illegal to kill somebody with a gun.
That will stop this madness!

jablaw will protect you.There have always been school shootings, but they were local affairs and didn’t typically get a lot of national coverage. Columbine changed all that. Now you have shooters who are planning ahead of time to do something as awful as possible, to get massive media coverage and become infamous.
And don’t forget a movie shot by a famous director.
This country has always been awashed in guns so why now? Why are these shootings happening in schools?
I’d like to see reliable data on if non-gang related mass school killings have proportionally increased over time. Mass school killings aren’t new, and the most deadly one in the US occurred using an improvised explosive and well before most people even had a TV.
Since the potential for death is much higher with something as widely accessible as twenty dollars worth of chain and gasoline, I don’t see how the much more difficult and expensive access to guns could possibly be a factor. It’s just the current tool of choice for these murderous psychopaths.
I’d be surprised if the modern factors of notoriety and drugs had any meaningful effect in causing these mass killings. Mass killings are as old as time and occur across cultures.

I’m tempted to send this to some friends, but they are on top of their soapbox and anything that disrupts their view on anything makes them react in the most childish way.
Do it. They need to be slapped down every time they start.
It is a world wide problem, no less. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Running_amok
The real issue is that a certain segment of society feels that no civilian should own guns. Full Stop.
Six bodies is well below average for rampage killings targeting schools. Guess that’s what happens when the responding cops actually close with and engage the shooter…

What did I miss? Did someone pass? Or is this future planning?
Extremely intelligent and considerate pre-planning.
Thank you. 🙂
My Grandmother From Hell #1 actually did pre-plan and pre-pay and it was just effortless. So much better than having to switcheroo-around the life insurance with my dad’s funeral.
We decided on your basic cremation. XX can plan a memorial…or not. Not like we’ll care. We did toy with the idea of putting our ashes in an hourglass (they have that), but at some point, that will just become clutter. I have encouraged her to have diamond earrings made of them.
XX is 19. My husband and I have started taking little roadtrips to see our son where he lives. I don’t want to have to burden her with yet Another Thing To Do if both of us wind up dead at the same time.
Now, as far as I can tell, she was born adult-ish, and she’s now passed into the realm of adulthood where she can make decisions, but I don’t want her to have to. She doesn’t have much life experience and a lot of decisions that have to be made have to be made NOW and she doesn’t think on her feet very well.
So, we’re taking as much off her decisionmaking plate as possible.
I was assisting Dad when his mother died and he mentioned several times how nice it was that she had taken care of her funerary decisions in advance.
Then neither he nor Mom pre-arranged theirs.
Listen to Mojeaux; this is something that you need to take care of and not shove onto your kids (at a horrible moment in their lives).
I intend to avoid all that by dying alone and friendless, I figure when it starts to stink to badly someone will do something with my corpse.
Get cats. They will eat you and no one will have to do anything.
Tres Sr. and his wife update the will annually. A day or so after being briefed on the current version (your step-mother gets ______, step brothers ______ ) I realized that they were both about to make their annual migratory journey to FLO-rida. I called him and said, “Ummm…not to sound too morbid, but since you drive down there, have you made any allowances if both of you die simultaneously? Like, I dunno, in a car wreck travelling to/from FLO-rida?”
He said, “Holy shit….I never thought of that. Now I have to call the lawyer”
More time with the family, Janet?
Janet Yellen is one of the worst Treasury secretaries in memory. She couldn’t be more emblematic of Joe Biden’s pathetic and incompetent administration.
She famously called inflation “transitory.” After that, she admitted she had no idea it would happen. She called “climate change” the biggest risk to the banking system, and as recently as March 7, she demanded more environmental, social, and governance (ESG) activity of banks to ward off “shocks” to the financial system.
——-
But obviously, someone has noticed that there’s an incompetent in the house, someone who doesn’t even understand where inflation comes from, let alone how rising interest rates affect banks, and there’s a big economic storm ahead to be staved off so that Joe can get re-elected in 2024.
I’d say we’re stuck with her. Who’s dumb enough to want that job, the way things are going?
KJP at a guess would be more than dumb enough.
First comment:
“Give Yellen a break. She is doing the work so that we can accomplish the work that needs to be done as working to accomplish things takes work and work accomplishes things. Oh wait, that’s Harris.”
LOL
Well, she was kinda right, in that Climate Change!1!!1 is the biggest threat to the banking sector. She was just wrong on how it was the biggest threat.
I had a boss that used to say “consistency can be an indicator of quality. Even poor quality.”
Redistributive stimulus needed, stat!
Average potential global economic growth will slump to a three-decade low of 2.2% per year through 2030, ushering in a “lost decade” for the world’s economy, unless policymakers adopt ambitious initiatives to boost labor supply, productivity and investment, the World Bank warned on Monday.
Failure to reverse the expected broad-based slowdown in potential gross domestic product (GDP) growth would have profound implications for the world’s ability to tackle climate change and reduce poverty, it said in a new report.
But concerted efforts to boost investment in sustainable sectors, cut trade costs, leverage growth in services, and expand labor force participation could boost potential GDP growth by up to 0.7 percentage point to 2.9%, the report said.
“A lost decade could be in the making for the global economy,” said World Bank chief economist Indermit Gill, although he said policies that incentivize work, increase productivity, and accelerate investment could reverse the trend.
Good grief, what a load of vapid whim-wham.
How about just take all your policies and shove them up your collective world anus? Start with the green stuff and penalty taxes, the once everything is loose, lube up and push the Eurozone in there.
Maybe they could stop meddling in an attempt to funnel graft to their cronies ^W^W^W^W pick winners and losers — and stop the war on fossil fuels to get back to cheaper energy (the fundamental backbone of economic growth since the Industrial Revolution).
Since we know they won’t do that, and since they put a gun to the head of the economy for a year over pandemic fears and attempts to lock down societies… get used to Great Depression 2 — Bug Eating Boogaloo.
Needs some stimulus. Maybe cutting taxes, transfer payments, subsidies and welfare.
CCC, WPA and other make work projects to lower Climate Change to transitory.
/sarc
To change the trajectory, policymakers should prioritize taming inflation, ensuring financial-sector stability and reducing debt, while promoting climate-friendly investments that could add 0.3 percentage point to annual potential growth.
One of these is not like the others.

Two MIA questions: (i) has straff been around lately? (ii) did anyone hear from Trigger Hippie after his somewhat scary post a week or two back?
Several weeks ago somebody mentioned straff was on the Zoom.
I haven’t seen him post for a while. The time difference is a pain I’m sure.
straff is on the zooms..he is busy. TH…no but hopefully someone has heard
He’s also on his Twitter feed.
(i) No, but he is still active on twitter so he’s possibly just sick of our shit.
(ii) Not that I’m aware of.

Racist ass comment: Why are white liberal women annoying? Seriously, it’s gotten to the point that outside of my wife, I avoid engaging in any good faith discussions about anything in the US, because they become irrational assholes who emotes and refuses to even consider your point of view.
And the galling part is that they constantly complain about “white males trying to run their lives,” when they’ve spent the past 2-3 years demanding that everyone mask up and take some bullshit ass shot.
Seems fairly observant. Not racist.
Wasn’t there a news item just a few days ago that a study showed 56% of Liberal women have some form of mental illness?
Well, you aren’t blaming them for being white, so, no, not racist.
The reason, at least in my opinion, is that so many people have given them deference in a lot of things, and as no one has said NO to them since they were children, it has gone to their heads.
They don’t call ’em AWFLs for nuthin’.
They’re annoying because they’re tribally oriented in a dangerous way. Government is their Church. Abortion is their sacrament. They pray to the God of “Science.”
Can’t find a link or transcript but the chief of police for that school shooting just absolutely stuck his finger in the eye of the cowards in Uvalde, TX saying “our officers don’t sit around waiting, we engage the target” or something like that.
