Another example of your tax dollars at work. Treat your kids like a douchebag and they will become a douchebag.

The price of freedom is eternal vigilance. AR-15 ammo ban delayed.


I guess it is better than trying to ban private drones, which are the next big technology outwrite. Imagine if they had banned or so regulated actual flight back in 1905 or so.


WARNING! The following lines contain snark and sarcasm.
Threatening people you owe money to is not always the best idea. Why, Germany might start looking like the U. S. if they don’t protect the border. Next thing you know, citizens will want to carry guns to protect themselves. Can’t let people take care of their own needs. Why would they need politicians at that point? Can’t have that.



Network “Didn’t want to hold government accountable.” Then, why do they exist? Oh, to be a mouthpiece for their chosen side in politics. Gotcha.

“Degenerate Scum” I could not stop myself from reading a political blog entry with that title. I’ll try harder next time.

The National Gallery in London banned selfie-sticks. Good on them. Now, ban screaming in to a phone because the echo is making it impossible for the idiot on the other end to hear the idiot on this end.

My thoughts on the new Macbook

  • One connector to rule them all
    • Power and connectivity all through one port
    • I hope you like carrying 35 kg of accessories with you 1kg laptop.
  • Over priced
    • Cheaper to get a Slate Pro.
    • More effective to get any other middle range laptop.
  • Underpowered
    • I read it only comes with a 2 core processor.
    • No Video editing on that worth a damn.
    • No VMs running on that pretty much at all.
  • Nice screen
    • But it isn’t a touch screen. Apple does not want to cannibalize its own sales of tablets. Forget the fact that every other laptop on the planet has a touch screen offered.
  • Never gonna be able to replace the battery. Apple has made it clear that this is a disposable $1300 laptop in my book.

This is a no touch screen tablet with a built in keyboard that costs $1300 and needs $500 worth of accessories to get a job done.

Notes

She might not run. MailGate might do Hillery in. All the people she has gotten killed and that is the one that will get her stopped.

If you are wondering why our leadership has lost track of reality, it is because they have their own world in which they have established rules. They have been making it up for so long that it has nothing to do with reality any longer. The reality of the rest of the world wanting our resources at their disposal. It is all about the narrative and the perception of events, not the events themselves. One must protect one's self from the legal system, not the enemies of the U. S.. Nevermind me. Listen to someone who understands virtual simulations of the mind better.


Too much put on the results of one test. I remember a movie that had a college recruiter who said “They should just write their SAT scores on their foreheads. It would make my job a lot easier.”

I hate the fact that upskirts are protected and filming police isn’t.


Ranked on bias. Google is trying to define truth by filtering the internet through their opinion.

Scrapping for a fight? No, scared in to a corner I’d say.

The sun made an appearance today for the first time in days. We walked to lunch and the wind was freezing cold. By the time we headed back it felt like the temp had risen 15 degrees. This might just be the last dip below freezing we have until next winter. The temp will be back in the sixties by tomorrow and seventies by Monday. That is normal for East Texas this time of year.

We had a bunch of work posters on the walls at my office. Before we got bought by the big company, we had pictures of our families and whiteboards filled with work information. The big company took all that down and put up what reminded me a lot of propaganda. My thought was that “I know what company I work for.” I’m sure visitors were the targets of the posters. They weren’t even posters really. They were laminated hard plastic portrait quality prints suspended from the wall on awesome four point supports. Today a guy came in and pulled all the supports out of the walls and started patching the sheetrock.

Elle was being a tween this morning and wouldn’t get up. I went in to her room, after Nat had gone in more than once, and started tapping the side of her bed with my knee. She flipped out, but she did get up. She ANNOUNCED she was going to “tell mom” I was kicking the bed. Then, she went in and told her. I said “She’s up.” and went about my morning. Ah, good times.

Obama loses in Iran. Is this even news?

Need a new crisis to use to get elected? Why not rekindle an old crisis?

More on Hillery’s email-gate. This is so not going to stop her from being our next president. At least people are getting a little taste of how much he respects the laws she is supposed to enforce as president.
Later I heard the server was in her home in Chappaquiddick. How fucking secure could that possibly be? Oh, wait, there’s more. She used Google mail as a backup when her server went down. This was about the time the Chinese were trying to hack Google mail if memory serves. Someone please sort this out.

The Democratic Party seems to still be in charge of alot. Why is it they only seem to pick losers to take the reins?

When everything the government does is to be hidden from those who are governed, we have not a government, we have rulers. Watch the police. Watch the officials. Watch, and listen. Pay attention.

Say “Statement”, not story. It sounds less like making something up on the fly.

I hate riding the goddamn bus. I get out of work late and get to sit on Westheimer street corner for 45 minutes.  ... or less. There's  the bus. Gotta go.

I apologize for linking so many of the same blog. The Belmont Club is amazing. Why are you reading this blog. Go there and learn something.

Just handing someone money will not make them rich. It will make them greedy. It will cause more issues than it will ever fix.



I’d get fired if I did this and I don’t even have lives hanging in the balance.






Anyone who says anything in science is settled, is trying to pick your pocket. The concept of science is unsettled. The idea is to always test and learn. The idea is not to accept. The idea is to use science to make lives better. The climate alarmists are out for money. We do need to learn, plan, adapt and overcome. Every rut on a forest floor left by a truck is an effect by man on nature. It isn’t going to end the world as we know it. If it does, we need to spend the money on adapting, not trying to set the clock back.

Snowden just wants to be back in time to see the movie made about him. Douchebag. Don’t get me wrong, I like the government getting some egg on its face over the whole snooping on everyone all the time thing. I just don’t like Snowden either.

Dropped off the house payment at my bank. Fortunately it is across the street from where I work. Piece of cake, but I used my phone as a calculator and left it on the counter. Had to  walk all the way back and get it. I mean, what was I going to do. I’ll be at work after the bank closes. So, it is go back right then, or go back later or possibly even tomorrow. Good and sweaty when I got back to work. Should have left the jacket back at the office.

Massive headache today. Had a new build to learn. Had a bunch of bits that didn’t work the way I expected. Have a new set of upgrade issues to keep track of. Gobbs of stress. Weather. Life. Health. vain sticking out on the side of my head. Blah. If I drop dead from some kind of aneurysm, it is all my own fault. No one elses.

Today is Saturday. I’m at work. Blah.

I’ve typed in the wrong password on the first try when I sit down at my desk now for ever. Right after I change my password I do great for about a month. Then muscle memory kicks in and screws something up. I have to slow myself down and type every character deliberately. I’m not sure exactly what happens. I cannot tell what key I’m screwing up or even if I’m missing a character consistently. It is really annoying. I cannot even type at my normal speed. I have to consciously make it happen.
Now, I sit down and start to type my password. I have to stop, remove what I have typed. Then tap out at about half speed each key of my password while concentrating. This is proof that muscle memory is a hindrance as much as a help in some tasks.

Writing idea: Fire a small caliber rifle at a door at range 3 rounds to sound like a knock.This would get someone to stick their head out so it can be blown off. Yes, I sit around and this stuff popps in to my head.

The whole politically correct thing breaks down a bit when you minorities killing each other and competing for the same resources. I mean, if no one is white, how do you know who the bad guy is?
But it wasn’t working. That was the problem. All the free market shitheads don’t get that because they don’t use the internet for the things that the companies wanted to charge extra for. The companies want very desperately to charge for traffic coming and going. Then, they want to use their existing position to extort rates from people who have to have an internet connection. It has gotten to the point Child Protective Services is going to show up at your house asking questions if you don’t have an internet connection. It already happens if you don’t have electricity or water service.


I like Lenovo. They are actually innovating laptops and tablets. If this announcement is true, I may have found my brand.


That’s not a head transplant. It is a full body transplant. Good luck. Where are we going to get the donor bodies?

I want this on my smart phone. I want it to record everything and force unregistered texters to have a second form of bounce id before I even know they exist.

How long does it take the earth to pass through her own diameter?

I had to do this math this afternoon. It was stuck in my head for a while.

Diameter of earth: 12 756 km
How many seconds in an actual year: A year is 365.24 days. Or 8,765 hours, or 526,000 minutes, or 31.6 million seconds.
940,000,000 km / 31,600,000 seconds = 29.7 km/s
12,756 km / 29.7 m/s = 429.5 seconds
429.5 seconds is 7 minutes 9 seconds

I may have found out what happened to the sugar in the break room. When you ask the lady about sugar, she points at the Splenda. I’m like “That isn’t sugar.”


There is a blood drive today at work. I don’t give blood any more because I pass out or come close to it when I give blood. I wish I could give half a pint every month or so. I would give more often. I really wish there were a good way to give blood without needles. Everyone would do it if you pulled that one out of your hat..

I’m glad these folks have not right to express their opinion by participating in war.

Baltimore has an issue with people getting flooded basements every time it rains heavily. They flood with sewage. Everyone says it is going to take a miracle to get it fixed. No, it will take a law that says every time someone’s basement floods due to a city fault, the contents of the flood are taken to the mayor’s and councilmembers’ houses and deposited in their basements. Every time. That might make some movement on the matter.

It is much easier to pass a law telling the sun to come up an hour earlier than it is to enforce it.

Some days I want to write poetry. Then I remember that I’m terrible at writing poetry. Then I remember that no one will read it and that I should write it anyway. Then I remember that I should write for the sake of writing and not worry about people and what they think. Then life.

Citizens should be allowed to video police in order to collect evidence of potential wrongdoing by the police. The police video the citizenry in order to gather evidence of potential wrongdoing. This is why they call the exorcising of one’s rights a “fight”.

I am 226 lb. Until I’m 185, I’m not going  to eat anything that tastes good. I may attempt to do the whole skip a day thing where you pick one day a week and only eat about 500 calories.

Oops. Where are all the feminists?

Lunch Conversation

I wasn’t supposed to go to lunch. I was supposed to start a diet today. Until the my weight drops below 185 lb, I am not aloud to eat anything that tastes good. But they went to Seafood Shop. I love that place. It had to be that place. Hours after I swear to lose 40+ lb, I fall. Well, here is to getting right back up again.

It isn’t even the food so much as the companionship. It is so nice to sit around and speak to people who are active social people. They play games and find reasons to hang out with each other. They do tend toward fried food. I need to find some skinnier lunch companions I’m afraid.
