Shut down the refrigerators? man, that is cold.
What could possibly go wrong with putting a large number of poorly secured devices on the internet to manage essential activities?
You obviously know nothing about nuclear power or missle silos.
Nothing.
Only thing that would logicly be online is a warning system that the refers are out of their temperature range.
Threedoor:
No. The warning system may be online, but it should be a read only feed fed by an internal network.
Zwak, can I order a WOPR?

Jebus, I haven’t thought of that movie in 45 odd years.
We need to freeze all online activities right meow.
That was my thought Neph.
Does one thing. Reports out.
Feel the warmth of collectivism!
Very nice.
Those grocery stores should be state owned anyway.
The refrigerators in the government stores will fail without hacking..
Lucas made?
State owned grocery stores have ice boxes.
Without ice. Because Ice is racist.
I want the word “unprecedented” to be removed from the English language until people learn to ise it correctly.
That would be unprecedented.
literally
Chill,dood.
Rut roe…
They’re going to rack up a lot of casualties.
Here’s hoping they buck the trend this autumn.

D’oh! A deer! A female deer!
Raclette venison anybody? It behooves me to ask.
Why is that deer sleeping there mommy?
Because the fawns like to sleep under the benches in the back yard.

Now, that is a chamios!
Justice is best served cold.
If it was served warm, it would be justwater.
POWER, however, would allow private plaintiffs to sue over “unfair methods of competition” and any “unfair, deceptive, abusive or unlawful acts or practices in or affecting business, trade or commerce.”
“Amazon uses economies of scale and efficiency tricknology to undercut our prices. Not fair.”
Vague and subjective, true to form for commies.
Failure to fly a Pride flag…out of business.
They refuse to sell at the price I want.
On our way to Minnesota one year, my teammate and I both blurted out that the many dead deer on the side of the road look like kangaroos. Now it’s a running joke.
So, whoever is driving is starting to…

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
I knew for years that Columbus Day was a sop to the wops, but I never knew why.
Nonprofits could also sue on behalf of members of the public.
No way.
The economy of scale for suing organizations should make it profitable.
So basically an end run around the drop in USAID bux.
The fire broke out around 3:15 a.m., but by time firefighters arrived an hour later
Man, we’ve got better response times out here in the boondocks with volunteers.
Step aside and wait for the professionals.
Maybe they had to fight through crowds of peacefully protesting students.
Don’t be silly, why would a news story omit something like that?
My five years old grandson relayed a tall tale about a fire, a squirrel, a transformer, water bottles and the fire department to me the other day. It was difficult to understand all his ramblings, but I got the gist of the story. I had to confirm it with his parents, but yes, a squirrel did in fact get blasted by a transformer and upon his rapid decent to the grass below, did start a fire. Onlookers were trying to put out the fire with water bottles when the local VFD arrived to spray down the remaining flames. Apparently, they don’t have squirrel ambulances (which is a big disappointment to a five year old,) so the injured squirrel was collected by a neighbor and will be rehabilitated. It was quite the tale, had me enthralled the whole time.
A squirrel shorted a transformer outside the office I worked at. The FD showed up. They were trying to figure out the cause. I pointed them to the fried squirrel on the other side of the street.
Le Marché des Enfants Rouges, which translates to the Red Children, was named for a nearby orphanage that closed in 1772. The children housed there were known for wearing red clothing.
It translates to the Red Children Market, which is where Native American orphans were sold to Renaissance era libertarians.
Closed before monocles took off.
I was there almost exactly 1 month ago. It was very cool and I was very sorry to read that story this morning. Just… gone.

A woman says someone sexually assaulted her at a fraternity house near the University of Chicago campus early Sunday morning, according to Chicago police and an alert by the university.
Police said the alleged assault happened in the Hyde Park neighborhood’s 5600-block of South University Avenue around 2 a.m.
A 21-year-old woman says a male offender sexually assaulted her inside of a residence, and she self-transported to the University of Chicago Medical Center for treatment.

“The chapter is working cooperatively with the university administration and local law enforcement on its investigations. Pending the results of that investigation, the chapter has been told to not hold any events or programs.
“As a Jewish fraternity, one of the values of our teachings we hold most important is that all human beings are fashioned B’tselm Elohim, in the image of G-d. Therefore, it is wrong to treat anyone without dignity, no matter their gender, race, sexual orientation or religion. This, obviously, applies to sexual assault and harassment.
“Alpha Epsilon Pi Fraternity unconditionally opposes, and its conditions of membership absolutely prohibit, any conduct considered as “sexual harassment” or “sexual assault.” This includes such behaviors as repeated propositioning, coercive pressure, unwanted touching and physical violence.
The definition of sexual assault is rather broad. Inclusive, one might say.
My BS meter is pegging the top line. The Jewish fraternity huh? What are the chances? Did they attacker shout “This is Bibi country!”
Quoted the Song of Solomon?
The Jewish fraternity huh?
“He invited me up to his room, then held me down for two hours while he cried about his mother. I’ve never felt so violated!”

TLDW. We pinky swear the lifters are fixed and the cranks are sized right.
Pro – brand new oiling system for more volume across the block. Also back to thicker oils. Gee…
Con – we focus group tested it and customers overwhelming want a digital oil level gauge. JFC.
All you get is a speedometer and odometer. Everything else is a single warning light.
Still one of the ugliest Chevy pickups ever.
GM’s new V8s.
Will they still be paired with transmissions programmed to maintain rpm under 2000 regardless of load?
If you put your foot to the floor for more than 5 seconds it will assume you may wish it to downshift.
The gear it chooses will be random of course and it has more than it needs to choose from of course.
I am waiting for a car to have a switch that takes it from the pre-programed VROOM sounds to Choo-Choo sounds.

Two children under the age of 10 were killed in a shooting in Los Angeles’ Pico-Union neighborhood Sunday after their father allegedly opened fire on them before turning the gun on himself, according to police.
The shooting occurred just before 1 p.m. near Venice Boulevard and Catalina Street, the Los Angeles Police Department said. The father reportedly shot his 10-year-old daughter and 4-year-old son before turning the gun on himself, according to police.
The children were taken to a hospital, where they were pronounced dead. Police said the gunman, described as a Hispanic man between 30 and 40 years old, is in custody while receiving treatment at a hospital. His condition was not immediately available.
Post partum depression?
Post natal drip.
