what I see: Star wobbles as it goes through a solar cycle, ditto, ditto, Space cat steps in front of Space iphone, star goes back to wobbling.

forcing tech companies to get into the power generation business, has no impact on the basic issue.

ive crunched the numbers and I have the perfect rebuttal speech: "conflating bullshit does not make it true."

i wonder how many GOP congressmen were threatened to cheer loudly, laugh at jokes, and praise the end of our democracy.

a branching in my life, I could be a sociopath, or I could join society. I chose the one with the least amount of hassle. I'm still concerned I made the right choice.

refactoring is always a good idea. an oldie but goodie: if you don't understand why it's working or not working... it's not objective enough.

plans for real things, some already realized.

i thought about posting this for you, but I didn't want to trigger your super secret double probation status. :D

and it's hierarchical as well. if you direct someone who is your responsibility to do something, and they do it, it is at least partially your responsibility that it happened. I'm still waiting for consequences for the Civil War.

Hah. it's funny because sad sucks.

MST3k just had a go fund me event. they were looking for IDK $20k to fund 4 new shows. in a few days they got $1.2 million pledged. it's not that there aren't good ideas, or people willing to make it. There are people out there that don't want you to even hear about the possibility of new ideas.

adolf thinks too highly of himself. Failure modes are plentiful. let's give them some.

what we do makes us who we are. It's true that what we think has something to do with that. But if it was a 1:1 relationship, I wouldn't have been able to choose not to become a sociopath all those years ago. I mean... I could still choose that I guess.

there's also some very terrible people in the Democratic party. But as things stand, it's the political party that has all of the good ones in it.

the dem party is a BIG TENT party. there are real actual Conservatives in the Democratic party. Not the nightmare fuel that exists in the GOP, real people who want to get the most for the least, and will listen to rational arguments.

why I trust the dems more than I trust the GOP: the democratic party is made up of people who agree on nothing. It's not that they will not accomplish anything... they will average out to the things that help the most people.

I have said it before: security cameras that do not save locally are NOT your security cameras.

deep cut

it's entrenchment in action. There's no hope for any "conservative" movement to "get better." the terrible stuff is what defines the movement now.

I'd settle for things made from it just stop falling out of the sky at random. call it whatever floats your plane.

a tough fatty child as well.

wow. he's REALLY trying to hide something.

at some point it might be easier to just list the GOP leaders that Haven't (yet) been arrested for sexual harm (rape, rape of children, etc...) it'd be a shorter list.

... yeah... but like... only for a few seconds...

one thing is for certain. None of the crap happening right now is in any way supportive of the argument FOR intelligent design.

either it is a problem or it isnt.

there is that. but as the saying goes: live by the sword die by the sword. You can't game the system till it crashes without deeply personal consequences. Some he's getting now. others... in the future.

this is an expression of twisted market demand for significant and sensible evolutions of automobile technology. Musk and placed himself in the position of being the only one that can provide that. Once that shell of stupidity breaks... the market will adjust.

go get yours, sir. like you, I will be burrowing down, coming up for air only for emergencies and adult responsibilities. if anyone prods you, this is a supportive note in opposition to the madness.
