It says 'Autopilot'

A couple shot a porn film in a Tesla on autopilot while there were 'a lot of cars driving by'

Adult performer Taylor Jackson and her boyfriend were on a road trip when he talked her into having sex in the car while it was on autopilot.

I've blogged about this sort of thing before. Will I be able to send my car to pick up my groceries or my kids? Will I be able to tell my car to drive around so I don't have to pay for parking? I am far from above looking this up on PornHub.

I am getting very tired of every tragedy being paraded in front of cameras for a political end. I'm sick of it. This sort of thing is starting to trigger me, but no one seems to care that I'm triggered. Oh, yes, I'm not paddling in the proper narrative direction. it makes me ill.

Is Europe really trying to commit suicide? I don't think so. I think they, the elites anyway, are genuinely clueless that their way of life is in danger. I believe they do not see the dangers they face. It is just in their nature to think the lessers of the world (anyone not in their circle of influence) cannot hurt them in any way.

Let's hope the awakening is not too bloody.

Blog Blockquotes

I took a few minutes today and attempted to make a nice blockquote for my blog. I’ve been toying with it now for a couple days. It turns out the blockquote on my blog is part of the template and impossible to change the background color. I fought for a bit cursing the automatic realignment of the HTML every time you save anything. I then figured out the background color is in fact different. it is slightly lighter on the actual finished published blog entry. It works for someone on a good screen. My PC, which is where I have viewed the blog up to now sucks at the subtleties of web design. The work Mac however, seems to pick out the slight shift in pallet.

Part of playing with the blockquote includes putting in the right justified link at the bottom of the quote. I insiste it is in the same quote block. I have figured out the following order to operations to get the link and text to show up properly.

• Put in a couple line breaks
• In the middle of the line breaks, paste my text
• Highlight the text and remove formatting
• Put the link in the bottom of the area that will be the blockquote
• Highlight the text and the link and click block quote
• Highlight just the link and hit right justify.

If only it were easy. You would think with a modern blog the idea of inserting a source link would be intuitive. I mean the EU has laws talking about linking to source material. Trust me, I have to know this stuff even though I do not work in that field.

Modern wways of lying

It is all in the numbers. Someone at my work says. "It doesn't happen anywhere else." She has been misinformed.

Last year, they claimed that there were school shootings at “hundreds of schools.” It was “an almost daily occurrence” in the U.S., some said.
This was nonsense. NPR reporters looked into the 235 shootings reported by the U.S. Department of Education and were only able to confirm 11 of them.
It turned out that schools were added to the list merely because someone at a school heard there may have been a shooting. Good for NPR for checking out the Education Department’s claims.

The Daily Signal

Someone has to do the homework. Thanks NPR.

ZZZZZZIP!

Remember, it looks like it is going that fast but it's airsped is much lower due to the jet stream.

Who needs the Concorde, anyway? On Monday, somewhere over northern Pennsylvania, a Virgin Atlantic-flown Boeing 787 Dreamlinertraveling from Los Angeles to London managed to go where few commercial planes have gone before: to a speed of 801 miles per hour.

As The Washington Post brought to light, pilots and aviation nerds were a-twitter about the Boeing's speed last night, taking to journalism's favorite social medium to broadcast their delight at seeing the giant numbers appear.

Elle had a function at her school this morning. She got an award for being awesome and helpful. Seriously. It is called “Breakfast of Champions” and it is an award for kids who are helpful and kind under stress. The first time I went to one of these I was worried it was one of those “everyone gets an award” kind of things, but I get it now. It is recognition for not being an asshole. This should happen more in schools and society in general.

Because the Narrative

Can you imagine if a country where the duly elected leader has the national police force and most of the employees in the government doing everything within and many things outside their power to bring him down? The watchdog refuses to bark. The people are mislead. The world waits.

If this was illegal and treasonous, why aren’t these people being arrested? The icy calm in the midst of it, where this is said by the President but no one says or does anything, not even responding to what he said, is bizarre. And there’s nothing I can see at Drudge, Instapundit or Breitbart. It’s a mystery, a complete mystery. 

I am genuinely terrified that our Republic is at stake. Sure was a nice run.

Political juggling in Europe

Second place is first losers. Still, that is a huge jump. These guys might as well ware MAGA hats on the floor.

Populist Italian Interior Minister Matteo Salvini’s Lega is set to make massive gains according to the projection that claims the party will go from just six seats to around 27, making the party the second largest national party represented in the chamber behind German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s Christian Democratic Union (CDU).

Blogging

Part of me wants to get back to blogging. I just figured out the Blogger app is basically dead on Android and defenately dead on iOS. No idea if there will be any updates. The web interface sucks for mobile. At least the spell checker seems to be working

Wow! I need to update the links in the sidebar. This will have to wait untill I'm on a desktop.

My Opinion on Youtube issues

Things are breaking down on the internet right now. I think a lot of the people who say they are offended by every damn thing do not understand that their voice is on the line when they want to make everyone else shut up.

First upload to dailymotion

Uploaded my first dailymotion video. http://dai.ly/x6gnz1t It looks like things are working. Tried viewing it to find out if there were any viewing issues. Looks good. I may have found an alternative to YouTube. We shall see.

This morning

Sigh, I have to change my passwords again. It is annoying, but necessary. I was just thinking yesterday afternoon that it was getting close to time. We get 90 days minus two weeks. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but this whole idea of passwords is head out the window. There is going to have to be something else that happens for identification. The arms race between black hat and white hat hackers is dictating a shake up.
Nat gave us a ride in this morning. We stopped at Starbucks $18.xx and The Kolache Factory $15.xx. Yeesh. Elle is not going to school because of an asthma attack yesterday after running a mile she had not prepared for. “I can try it coach.”
I asked for “a hot coffee that tastes like chocolate milk. I got a venti mocha with a shot of vanilla. It does indeed taste like chocolate milk. I will have to remember that order.
There was an accident on Westheimer just west of work in the west bound lanes. This is the opposite side from us, but of course our lanes were slowing down. I hope no one got hurt. The vehicles were pretty crunched. I feel bad rolling my eyes and sighing at wrecks, but they seem so cheche at this point. In the not so distant future, after cars are automated, we will hear about car wrecks like we now hear about plane crashes. All the goddamn time when in reality they are very rare. I like it. That means less suffering in the world.

Why no post?

I have used social media like Facebook and Twitter for my outlet of complaining now for a couple years. It has greatly affected my output and my satisfaction with writing. That is, it has made me hate writing things down. In about the same time period I have increased my personal journal, which I do not publish, and my Evernote use. Evernote satisfies another itch. The itch that tells me I will get old and forgetful then die someday aand I need to leave a note to the reader along the way of what I thought. It also keeps my serial numbers and receipts. It also keeps what books I’ve read nd stuff like that. Order info, banking records. Everything.
I have pondered the deleting of my social media accounts about 35 time a day lately, up from 8 to 15 times a day. I will not do this only because I have to have a place for people to send me photos of their animals and children (but I repeat myself) every seven minutes. i will keep them to link theses posts and other stuff that goes on the blog, vlog and wherever.

I’ll try to put political stuff on Twitter and personal stuff on Facebook. Not that it matters. I think I have been obfuscated by both platforms as a conservative and ther for in need of silencing.

Anyone out there still reading this blog? Any echoes? Any thoughts to pass back? Please put them in the comments or track me down on twitter.
