Happy Monday afternoon everyone. I’m experimenting with a new mouse and keyboard, and there is a lag on the keyboard that is murdering my soul. It’s like its reading and judging my output piece by piece. Please excuse me if I am terse today
Why 4 arms? You only need one for the beer and one for the onboard, joystick. The other two are just wasted.
Oh great, now my Congresscritter is going to want to take maternity leave.
Damn, if we want an uprising, maybe we should advocate for phone confiscation.
Lol. Kamala’s “image problem” is that she keeps talking in front of microphones.
Speaking of hoisting the black flag…
Poor CommaLa.
You only hate her because some right-wing echo chamber told you to hate her. I actually heard that floated by the legacy media the other day. Just like they told us Hillary wasn’t really unlikeable…
😂🤣
The woman has never actually had to really engage with constituents much. She was appointed to her first positions (ahem) by SF Slick Willie and then was anointed the Senate job without having to really work her way up the chain. She hasn’t had to do much retail politicking.
But she’s a black Indian woman. That should be enough squares on the bingo card. If you don’t vote for her, you’re racist.
This. And this is also why you need to learn a job like politics. Now the D’s are saddled with her, and she is a horse you cannot ride at this point.
If you don’t vote for her, you’re racist.
Even if you ARE a Democrat!
It’s all because she is black and nothing to do with competency.
Woman too!
I’m swooning from all the checkmarks!
Don’t forget Asian!
If only she were trans.
Give her time, ji. Give her time.
Kamala taTurk!
They’re “still developing a strategy” because her results speak for themselves. If she had competent results, they wouldn’t need a strategy to disprove claims of incompetency.
That’s a non-opinion piece by USA Today’s white house correspondent. No bias for Democrats in the mainstream media, nope, none at all.
It’s funny you say that. I had to scroll back up to the top of the article to see if it was an opinion piece. Nope. That’s just straight political news.
The section title at the top, “CLIMATE CHANGE: Where it’s worst” caught my eye.
I’d guess the entire outfit is biased from top to bottom.
She pulled out of the primaries before Iowa because of the mean Republicans.
The mean democrats who didn’t vote for her get a pass.
That wouldn’t be the first time she pulled on something.
“ruthless”
If there’s one word to describe beltway Republicans, it’s ruthless.
Actual LOL.
One for Toobin, one for blocking the camera?
Halfway to terrorizing Spider-Man, obviously. Priorities, man.
And bluetooth/wireless combo, I assume? If you’re getting lag on a USB keyboard, replace the piece of junk. (And frankly, this sort of crap is why I stick with wired peripherals… that and security — not really that paranoid, but why tempt fate?)
Re: Kamala… not like she rose to prominence using her mouth for talking, after all. Bless her heart.
I have this, and I love it.

This. I went back to wired mouse and keyboard and I love the not having to fiddle with connections and charging and shit.
I do want a wireless headset for work, though.
If you’ve got Bluetooth on the PC/Laptop just use a a phone earpiece.
Hm. 🤔
I guess I could try that but I doubt the sound quality would be tolerable through hours of meetings.
I use either my gym headphones or the AirPods…good quality for the most part.
Never even occurred to me to try. I’ll give my AirPods a shot next time.
I use my Jabra Elites all day for work stuff. Air Pods should work just as well.
Airpods work well.
I use a round Jabra speaker instead. Hooks to the pc. Stunning sound and microphone. And I can get up and walk around with no microphone degradation.
Thanks for the tune

Seriously, that a student could possibly think this is okay is beyond my comprehension.
How about a firm no phones rule in all schools?
Try to comprehend a ‘student’ who was raised in a culture where, ‘Get yours!’ is the dominant philosophy.

Mandatory attendance… Way back when I was in school, they’d just throw a rotten kid out. Go get a job or go to reform school, whatever, you can’t come back here.
Same. If you misbehaved like this, you’d be sent to reform school. If you misbehaved there, you were expelled once you were 16.
It was called “opportunity” school for us.
This was in a California college town, of course.
I would have assumed schools do this routinely. Maybe you can bring one but keep it in your locker.
Most gave up, they couldn’t keep the tide back because they aren’t allowed to punish students.
Cell phone jammer in each classroom. Portable, if necessary (teachers keep ’em on their person).
Teachers fucking off on their phone would end this before the FCC got involved.
Destroying all smart phones would do this also, but, alas.
It’s a class-by-class policy in our schools.
She sprayed him, demanded her phone, when she didn’t get it, she sprayed him again and demanded her phone again.
Why she isn’t in jail, I have no clue. That’s multiple felony assaults. And I’m sure something else for bringing pepper spray to a school.
I would have laughed if the teacher started to give her the phone, then “accidentally” dropped it.
And I guarantee you that any attempt to ban students from having phones in school would be killed by the parents demanding that they be able to contact their little munchkin, or vice versa, at all times.
Have you seen or heard the term anarcho-tyranny going around. I think it’s the best descriptor of what’s going on. It’s the worst of all worlds. A government that still taxes at higher and higher rates and enforces ever more petty rules against the pacified masses, all while completely ignoring their most basic duties that they claim are their domain like policing theft and assaults and the most basic civil duties like road maintenance and education. All the energy of the people who are in charge goes to propagandizing, grifting and keeping people scared enough to think that we need to shovel money at them for a bunch of things they never intend to actually do.
Is someone robbing you? We can’t be bothered to stop them, but if you dare to protect yourself, you’ll never see the light of day again. The dystopia in A Clockwork Orange predicted something to this effect.
Of course it’s an image problem. Dems never do anything wrong, it’s just that us idiots haven’t had things properly explained to us.
Rule 1: When you don’t have competent results to use as an argument for competency, spin the messaging to make even recognizing the lack of competent results a racist/misogynist/anti-trans act.
This is their only play in the book.

Genuine human-generated nonsensical babble
Sounding the alarm on risks posed by AI is nothing new – academics have issued warnings about the risks of superintelligent machines for decades now. There is still no consensus about the likelihood of creating artificial general intelligence, autonomous AI systems that match or exceed humans at most economically valuable tasks. However, it is clear that current AI systems already pose plenty of dangers, from racial bias in facial recognition technology to the increased threat of misinformation and student cheating.
While the letter calls for industry and policymakers to cooperate, there is currently no mechanism to enforce such a pause. As a philosopher who studies technology ethics, I’ve noticed that AI research exemplifies the “free rider problem.” I’d argue that this should guide how societies respond to its risks – and that good intentions won’t be enough.
——-
Philosophers tend to argue that it is unethical to “free ride,” since free riders fail to reciprocate others’ paying their fair share. Many philosophers also argue that free riders fail in their responsibilities as part of the social contract, the collectively agreed-upon cooperative principles that govern a society. In other words, they fail to uphold their duty to be contributing members of society.
——-
Decades of social science research on collective action problems has shown that where trust and goodwill are insufficient to avoid free riders, regulation is often the only alternative. Voluntary compliance is the key factor that creates free-rider scenarios – and government action is at times the way to nip it in the bud.
Further, such regulations must be enforceable. After all, would-be subway riders might be unlikely to pay the fare unless there were a threat of punishment.
Take one of the most dramatic free-rider problems in the world today: climate change. As a planet, we all have a high-stakes interest in maintaining a habitable environment. In a system that allows free riders, though, the incentives for any one country to actually follow greener guidelines are slim.
You can force everyone to ride the subway at gunpoint, and make them pay. You can destroy the energy economy and impose crippling costs on consumers.
Why can’t you forcibly nationalize the tech sector and let the government decide what constitutes legitimate artificial intelligence and the uses to which it may be put?
I like that the Knopfler song is subtitled in Portuguese. He’s got a pretty big Brazilian fan base I know.
Rush in Rio was a surprise.
Brazilians produced a shit ton of awesome music and are great fans of lots of North American and European bands. They are a highly sophisticated musical bunch down there.
There was a thriving bootleg business in Brazil where you would buy a recording and the store would dub a tape or cd. The record company didn’t know how popular some bands were due to black market records.
An interesting study in NYC rent control. There are no heroes here. Tenant knew that he was in a rent controlled apartment and landlord by not acting likely has little recourse at this point. However, it also looks like the landlord decided to play fast and loose with tenant too,

I improved quite a bit, but the property tax fuckery will probably wipe out the gains.
That was my experience when I moved to Texas. No income tax, but my property tax bill just about equaled what I paid in income and property tastes in WI. Granted, my house in Texas was more expensive, but still . . . .
I went KY to SC to CO. By that SC is the best, but I prefer CO income tax to SC. And my sales tax was 11%, which was outrageous.
But yeah, the property tax difference is enormous.
KY was the worst of the 3, but the sales tax was a flat 6% state-wide. The property tax was in between the other two. The problem was on income tax as KY has a very small standard deduction, so you always end up itemizing. Both SC and CO use the federal deduction. KY has shifted to a CO style flat income tax since I left, but still with the tiny deduction.
Effective regulation and enforcement of AI would require global collective action and cooperation, just as with climate change. In the U.S., strict enforcement would require federal oversight of research and the ability to impose hefty fines or shut down noncompliant AI experiments to ensure responsible development – whether that be through regulatory oversight boards, whistleblower protections or, in extreme cases, laboratory or research lockdowns and criminal charges.
Only an iron fisted global socialist dictatorship can save us. Otherwise,the inevitable chaos brought on by nihilistic individualism will destroy us all.

Liberal cred doesn’t come easy – sometimes your kids need to help.
This.
And at the same time CPS can take away kids over nothing.

Tipping at a self-checkout?
Who are you tipping, yourself?
We use square, and couldn’t figure out how to turn the tipping prompts off. I think we got it eventually.
Anyway, tips always seemed silly to me, more so now that I’m doing most the work wherever I go.
Do these people have that much problem hitting the “no tip” button?
I mean, it is freakin stupid, and I would prefer going away from tips everywhere, but still, just hit 0 and stop being so whiny.
Yeah the people interviewed claiming ’emotional blackmail’ are interesting. Agreed, you hit zero and move on with your life.
Speaking of checkouts, I was at the supermarket earlier today and eggs were less than half what they were a week ago. I thought I was seeing things. But nope, every brand was around $2 a dozen.
Since we are basically now California, nothing is dropping in price here. Gas still above $4/gallon, eggs still $4/dozen, its stupid.
Literally everything else is still crazy expensive.
There must have been a huge chick-boom or something.
Ah, to live in an area where “supply management” isn’t a thing.
Eggs these days are hovering around $6.50/dozen, give or take. And there are never any sales.
Is that CAD? Still, damn.
Just the other day I saw a little grocery store advertising eggs at $0.99/dozen. They were already closed, but I would have gone in to check and buy several dozen.

How about a firm no phones rule in all schools?
This reminds me of a story I saw several years ago where a bar owner turned the place into a Faraday Cage so nobody’s cell phones would work (Is that possible? I don’t know.)
You couldn’t do that in a school anyway, because the teachers wouldn’t stand for it.
I just went to an HOA meeting that was hosted by my local middle school. I tried to text my wife and realized that my phone signal was being blocked. I suspect they block the cell signal and give the teachers a closed wifi network to run their phones on.
I have thought movie theatres should do that. If you are a doctor on call, you could leave your pager with an attendant who will come get you in an emergency.
A local bar is effectively a no cell-phone zone – deep downstairs and tin ceilings. No TVs, either.
I love it.
There’s a couple of bars like that here, one is annoying since it’s a beer bar and they put their menu up on Untappd.
There is a restaurant here that’s in an old bank. If you reserve it early enough, you can dine in the vault. Pretty sure that will mean a quiet meal.

The end of easy money?
It was already difficult for businesses and households to borrow money earlier this year — but after the collapse of three US regional banks and a cascade of rate hikes by the Federal Reserve, getting money has become a little harder.
More lenders have stiffened their standards in the wake of increasing turmoil within the banking sector, according to the Federal Reserve’s quarterly Senior Loan Officer Opinion Survey (SLOOS) released Monday.
Survey respondents attributed the changes in lending standards to economic uncertainty, a reduced appetite for risk, deterioration in collateral values and broader concerns about banks’ funding costs and liquidity positions, according to the Fed report. Additionally, lenders reported that they expect to tighten standards across all loan categories for the remainder of this year, citing the above concerns as well as customer withdrawals.
Oh, no. Turn the money spigot back on, before it’s too late.

In case you have the SiriusXM – or might be inclined to see about a “free trial” thing – they’ve launched a limited run Duran Duran channel. Started a few days ago and runs through June 2.
Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago President Austan Goolsbee said in an interview with Yahoo! Finance on Monday that “the credit crunch, or at least a credit squeeze, is beginning” and that it should be something Fed officials should strongly consider when deciding interest rates.
Fed officials, including Chair Powell, have previously noted that credit tightening could act similarly to a rate hike.
“You do not land the plane nose down, so we want to just make sure that these bank stresses — I don’t know if it’s full blown credit crunch, but it’s certainly credit tightening,” Goolsbee said. “You see from talking to the lending officers or business contacts out here in the Midwest, that will slow the economy and we absolutely should take that into account when we’re setting monetary policy.”
He added that industries that are more dependent on credit to carry out their operations would be “more directly affected.”
The man is a genius.
“You do not land the plane nose down…”
When you are already at the bottom of a smoking crater, the attitude of the plane does not make much difference.
Goolsbee wants Powell to pivot.
He can fuck off.

Still thinking about this story. Seems very odd a six or seven year-old who can get an erection or has any sex drive would forcibly put his penis in a girl’s mouth. Scruffyyyy suspects he was abused. I’m thinking it might be all these LGBT sex instruction books they are pushing on the kids.
Erections happen since birth and not necessarily tied to a sex drive. I am with either Scruff or your theory, abused and/or the books that promote it at very young age.
I’m with Scruffy. The show of force and domination is something he learned from personal experience. If there is any need for social services to actually exist, this would be a good circumstance. Go after this kids guardians as hard as you can.
Same thoughts here.
I think the most disturbing part is actually all the other kids cheering it on. I have a 5 year old and I have to believe she would be horrified. Same for all her friends. There’s no one at home teaching a single one of these kids a moral compass?
I think you know the answer to that question.

For that kind of money we could put a black guy on the Moon. I’m thinking Ibram X. Kendi and leaving him there.
The economic impact of flooding cash into that economic bracket will be felt everywhere nationally. Prices for all homes and high dollar items like cars will spike through the roof immediately. Existing middle class will flee en masse, unable to compete economically. This newly enriched class won’t be working, so the entirety of the productive work force will be gone within a couple of years. All the markets that are already experiencing shortages in housing, groceries and other goods will be made exponentially worse. At that point, all the people who have held the “correct” opinions at no cost to themselves won’t be able to deny how the system really is hopeless for them.
I don’t think I’m exaggerating when I say that passing this could very well lead to the end of the union.
And I will watch them starve with a slight tinge of schadenfreude.
There is an argument that the Davos/WEF crowd desperately wants the USA to fail and break up so that they can rule like Europe once did.
With each passing month, I see more and more evidence for that argument and evidence that large swaths of our politicians (particularly Democrats and the Biden administration) are working for them. It’s difficult to otherwise explain how malicious they are towards the economic and cultural future of the USA. They’re openly malevolent in their actions.

“Now Biden is going after your DISHWASHERS: Appliances would have 27% less power and 34% less water in new White House crackdown to fight climate change
Biden’s Department of Energy has already pushed through stricter environmental standards on washing machines and refrigerators that have been described as ‘overregulation on steroids.’
On his first day in office in January 2021, he signed an executive order telling DoE officials to make ‘major revisions’ to current appliance regulation standards.
A month later, the agency listed more than a dozen energy efficiency rules, impacting appliances like water heaters, cooking products and lamps, that it would review.
At the end of last year, the White House released a statement boasting that it had taken action against 110 household appliances to help cut emissions.”

They seem to planning to keep paying him while refusing to air his show.
I guess you have to read your employment contract more thoroughly before signing it, and take the consequences if you do sign.
Apparently, it severely hurt their ratings.

If he doesn’t he needs a new agent and/or lawyer. He could make money that’d make Rogan look like a fry cook at McDonalds.
Generally speaking, employees can quit any time they want. On account of the North winning the Civil War, or something,
Now, damages for breaching an employment contract are possible, but since Fox took him off the air, they can’t hang their collapsing ratings on him. If he just walked, I’m not seeing damages for Fox.
Noncompetes are also a thing, of course. But they tend to be disfavored and narrowly applied, if enforced at all. The general rule is that they can’t stop someone from practicing their profession altogether, and it goes downhill for the employer from there.
