Everyone who might have provided actual links is suddenly unavailable due to work nightmares. I’m unavailable due to relocation nightmares.
So, this post is an exercise in self-reliance! Got links? Great, please share them!
I’ll be back tonight with my regularly scheduled Wednesday night post, though.
I got nothing, and live in the back of a garage
I had a friend who lived in a garage in Minneapolis’s Camden neighborhood year-round. We called it his little cabin on the alley.
I have a friend who lived in a barn during his first 2 years of college
Camden always reminds me of Camden, TN. The Tennessee Camden was where I once ate at an all-chitlin buffet. So it was pretty rustic.
I got nothing, and am still at work because Microsoft sucks and won’t provide basic customer service to a client paying them untold millions for e-mail.
Who here knows postfix?
yes?
When ‘relayhost’ is set to [oneserver]:25 what would make it send outbound mail to [differentserver]:587 ?
Entry in the transport table?
Some sort of virtual domain setup overriding the relayhost?
Which version of postfix?
Hard to diagnose without seeing the config file.
Transport table is four lines which only impose throttling rules on our four biggest recipients so we don’t get flagged as spammers.
Postfix 2.9
And there are no virtual domains I am aware of lying around.
Are you actually using squarebrackets with names to bypass MX lookup?
so the main.cf relayhost= is a last chance rule, do you have any transport maps configured? those have priority.
as a mercenary way to check, grep for 587 in the config directories.. that port isn’t selected by random, and usually indicates that the relay wants to use username/pw for relay authentication.
there are some other technical options, but I would look there first. Next I would do some network snooping to see if any dns _tcp records were being used.
The square brackets with names are there because DNS is broken thanks to Unisys, and the IP of the relay is in /etc/hosts .The only reference to 587 is in the commented out old version of the line when we were supposed to be using [differentserver]:587 . And yes, the config has been reloaded since the change was made.
Any settings for relay_transport or or default_transport? (If you want to take this
offline to not belabor the post with arcana of mail server configuration trouble shooting,
you can shoot me an email (if you can :)) at flowstone.net.). It’s been a while since I’ve
used postfix 2 though, whether or not I’d be any more use than reading through postconf(5)
is questionable. Happy to try to help though.
I would think it was odd to use an /etc/hosts entry when you could just use the raw IP in the config if you are statically configed anyway.. but ok.
Since [differentserver]:587 was in an older config, I would make sure that particular main.cf is really being picked up. and that the system be fully stopped and restarted, not a reload.
There was also probably a username/password aligned with the older 587 config. are the pointers to that still in the main.cf?
do you get anything interesting from postconf -df ?
I found it. I also found how to fix the DNS while looking.
While postfix’s main.cf was correct, there was still something that referenced the submit.cf from /etc/mail . There the old relay was being referenced.
Glad you found it. I keep putting off upgrading from 3.0 to 3.3 because
the current setup works, and I haven’t wanted to fight with the needed
configuration changes. Probably do it next month sometime though.
Is this Solaris? submit.cf seems to be a solaris sendmail localization.
This then seems like a hybrid sendmail/postfix system, I would have the submit.cf deliver to [localhost]:25. Which would then allow the postfix relay to handle the actual routing and make future migrations easier.
I had experience with custom sendmail/mail configurations and Solaris patch bundles that would clash. I almost suspect that originally the postfix install replaced /usr/lib/sendmail with its agent.. but a later patch put back the original Solaris sendmail binary which reverted to its /etc/mail config.
This is an ubuntu box. I didn’t build it, I inherited it. We’re trying to replace it for multiple reasons.
The original Solaris was great. Even Soderbergh’s remake was good.
Do you have an opion on the changes under Ellison?
The original Solaris was great.
I know, right? Ever since Sun went SVR4 it’s been all down hill.

I just tried Shake Shack for the first time. Bacon cheeseburger with cherry peppers.
3 stars.
They’re not bad, but there’s a lot of good burger choices out there. Hell, if we’ve got good choices here in Ohio, I can only imagine the selections in the real fly over area where they have cows.
California had all kinds of cows.
I like cows…
I like to watch them eat…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkZy4yChJkU
If you didn’t post the Suburbs, I was going to.
I thought it was a bit under seasoned. If each patty doesn’t have at least a teaspoon of black pepper, it may as well be baby food.
According to my coworkers who frequented it, Chipotle next to my office has closed for good. Shake Shack is doing all right.
Remind me to short them again.
Shake Shack
AKA why Oregon is sending nurses to visit the homes of newborns.
They have a sammich that uses a deep-fried breaded portobello mushroom as the burger meat; it’s really yummy. Also, at least here in NYC, they have much better service than ANY other fast food location. On one visit, we had a bit of a wait but got our food and sat down. A manager came scurrying over and requested our receipt. She came scurrying back with a handful of cash and told us that because the wait was over 7 minutes, they were comping our meal. I’m a sucker for good service.
I’ve had to walk out a couple times (at the Fulton Street subway one) because the lines were so ridiculous.
Yeah, that one gets crazy. Luckily, there is a even better choice nearby – Yummy Taco!
Wait… better customer service then Chick-Fil-A? That’s damned impressive if true.
I should have been more specific; best customer service amongst NYC locations. The fresh-faced teens helming the Dairy Queen in Woodland Park, CO blow New York service away.
My brother retired to Florida after living in Woodland Park. Nice area. Beautiful home.
I really don’t want to get all hipster dipshit about it, but the franchise locations don’t make as good a burger as the original spot. It was damn near a perfect burger. Crusty, loose but not falling apart, the almost bleu cheese minerality of dry aged beef.
They’re in California now? I remember when it was literally a shack in Madison Square Park.
They are in Kentucky now. We’ve had one for over a year.

Sometimes I think that PETA is just elaborate performance art. I mean, it just can’t be real, can it?
It increasingly feels that way.
It’s sort of like a screeching toddler: any attention is positive attention.
PETA, like SPLC, Planned Parenthood, etc ad nauseum is an organization with one and only one purpose: separating idiots from their money.

Lowering speed limits enough actually increases fatalities
Speed limits set only five miles per hour below engineering recommendations produce a statistically significant decrease in total, fatal and injury crashes, and property-damage-only crashes, according to a group of Penn State researchers.
“If (however) you lower the speed limit by 10, 15, 25 miles per hour, or more, drivers stop paying attention,” said Vikash Gayah, assistant professor of civil engineering. “We found there was an increase in fatal and injury crashes at locations with posted speed limits set 10 miles per hour or more below engineering recommendations.”
You mean people really don’t obey those 7 MPH speed limit signs in developments?
But it’s so specific it must be right.
I wonder if they pull over some overenthusiastic joggers or cyclists just to fuck with them in those areas.
We just had 8 speed-bumps installed near our house. My casual observation is that people, instead of slowing down for the length of the road, just slow down for the bumps but then drive even faster between them to make up for the time lost decelerating.
And they spend their time watching the bumps, and not every other thing in the neighborhood that could wind up in front of them.
Plus it kind of smooths them out if you hit them fast enough.
This is why I want a Raptor.
If you hit them at an angle it allows you to roll through them smoothly – it’s a four-point bump instead of a rocking. YMMV in vehicles with lower ground clearance.
My local alderman gifts these to any block where enough residents complain about speeding. I cringe every time I see someone roll over one without expecting it and their car’s undercarriage scrapes the ground a couple of times. Who would think that forcing drivers to temporarily lose traction and cause damage to their vehicles would be so beneficial to public safety?
HR asked for speed bumps in our parking lot this summer. Now Facilities complains everytime they have to plow.
Low testosterone is a bitch.

Push to allow some 17 year olds to vote in primaries in NH
A proposed constitutional amendment to allow 17-year-olds to vote in New Hampshire primary elections if they are on track to turn 18 before the upcoming general election was widely endorsed at a State House public hearing on Wednesday.
Fine, lower the drinking age to 17.
And gun laws.
I thought that was the law everywhere. I voted in a primary at age 17 in Indiana.
Fun fact, every time a 17 year old votes in a primary in Indiana, the NRA gives a particularly angry Indiana Murder Gun to a straight A student in the South side of Chicago.

Officer: “We executed a new baby child welfare visit at 126 Main street. There was no evidence of a nursery or crib, and the child was not on premises. There were large dogs that aggressively licked my hand, so I terminated the threat. There were open stairways and unlocked cabinets with hazardous chemicals. Clearly, this was an unfit living arrangement, and the fact that the child was missing was highly suspect. We have arrested two suspects, John Doe, aged 92, and his wife Jane Doe, aged 89.”

The basic premise behind these attempted power grabs is that parents cannot be trusted with the care of their own children
In some cases, that’s probably true. What is manifestly NOT true is the assumption that the state can do any better.

Gah those marxists platitudes are so boring.
I like the ‘contributed their labor’ as if they just showed up our of the kindness of their hearts to help build some cars.
WORKER OF THE WORLD, BUY SHARES!
GM’s response if they weren’t bought and paid for by the fedgov: “we tried to give employees more ownership of the company, but they kept selling their shares as soon as we gave them to them.”
So, we should give them even more tax breaks and subsidies so they can continue to employ workers to make inferior junk, right? How about this? Kill the company and sell off the assets to someone who can be productive with them.
What do you have against Obama’s legacy?
How about this?

I love that the Marxists put “property” in scare quotes.
So did you.
It’s quite hilarious that they imply through scare quotes that property ownership is a spurious notion, but in the very next sentence they assert that the plant is the property of employees and taxpayers.
They should go bankrupt and liquidate.

Again, not a union fan, but that sounds a lot more like the Green New Deal “workers” who never set foot in a plant and have no intention of doing an honest day’s work in their life.
I remember, years ago, when I was in college, hearing a talk by a UAW guy who’d sat on the board of Chrysler following their first bailout. It was pretty clear that the experience had given him some pretty clear lessons. I doubt the commies would have learned a damned thing.
The interesting thing in that article that really struck me was the difference in tone between the UAW and the “Green New Deal” idiots. I’m not a huge union fan, but their spiel wasn’t insane. Just wrong. The commies sounded like absolute lunatics.

“Toto’s ‘Africa’ to play ‘for eternity’ in Namibia desert
German-Namibian artist Max Siedentopf has set up the sound installation, called “Toto Forever,” in an undisclosed location in the 1,200 mile-long Namib Desert.
The desert, on the west coast of Southern Africa, is around 55 million years old — making it the world’s oldest desert and the “perfect spot” for his work, Siedentopf, 27, told CNN in an email. “Hopefully the song will play just as long,” he added.
Siedentopf is using solar batteries to power the entire installation, which consists of plinths supporting six speakers attached to a single MP3 player that contains one track: Toto’s “Africa.””

Goddamn laptop went out on me again. Goddamn piece of crap. Went ahead and bought a Chromebook, since 83.7% of what I do is on the Internet. I hate already. Fuck you, too.
I bought a new Dell laptop last year when my HP finally crapped out. I sunk some money in and thought I was getting a nice model.
For some inexplicable reason, Dell put the fan in the back middle so no heat can actually escape. The base of the screen blocks it. The stupid thing overheats and shuts down way too easily. I’ll echo your goddamn piece of crap.
Wow, and I thought HP was mediocre.
I just got an hp envy, and I think it’s great. It converts to a tablet, but the screen has touch capability in both modes. I scroll and swipe all the time, even in laptop mode.
And it has solid state drive. Boots like lightning.
Laptop? Why? Laptops are only good for when you travel. Build a desktop. Note, I said build, do not buy pre-built garbage like Dell and HP. To get their parts, they go through land fills in China.

Speaker Pelosi urges delay of State of the Union address
Dear Donny,
If you reinstate the precedent of simply sending Congress a letter… and not giving a self-important speech that is televised everywhere… I can’t tell you how happy that would make me.
Signed,
Everybody
I like Donnie Two Scoops and all but I think he’d be one of the last people on the face of the planet to cancel a self-congratulatory speech.

Yeah, I know.
Maybe he could Skype in? Then fewer people would have to pretend to listen.
I agree with this. But I also like the following:
“Hardhead Nancy thinks I should postpone the State of the Union address because of security concerns. There would be no concerns if she would negotiate to reopen the governmnet. But since she won’t and she’s scared I can give the address from the oval office and then eat a Big Mac while listening to her and Frankenstein Chuck respond about how they love illegal aliens more than American citizens and those that follow our immigration laws. And don’t forget Nancy, you are still being paid while the gov’t workers you claim to care about are not. Sad!”

I blame a lot of what happened on CA regulation.
Guess why PG&E and So Cal Edison don’t have enough money for line inspections and brush clearance? That’s right! Renewable energy mandates.
They can’t raise rates to pay for it, so… the money has to come from somewhere.
I don’t speak for B.P., but I *think* B.P. is referring to Proctor & Gamble not Pacific Gas & Electric.
Whoops. Well, unrelated, but PG&E is declaring bankruptcy. It seems that they’ve caused MOST of the wildfires in CA over the last few years.

But yes, renewable energy mandates and the entire home solar movement is pretty much designed to siphon off revenue from the power company who by law cannot raise their prices without asking.

“No, seriously….”
Correct. There is nothing that PG&E does that cannot be traced directly back to the legislature that controls them and their market.
So, we should give them even more tax breaks and subsidies so they can continue to employ workers to make inferior junk, right? How about this? Kill the company and sell off the assets to someone who can be productive with them.
Penske was trying to buy Saturn, at one point during the bailout. My theory is they refused to sell it to him because he’d have been selling more (and better) cars than Chevrolet, by now.
A monkey could make better cars than Chevrolet. Which makes me wonder what the hell is going on at Chrysler, where they manage to build even worse cars.
Chrysler seems to make a living off of appealing to wives while raping their husband’s wallets. I don’t know any men who would buy a Cherokee, but I know plenty of women who desperately want one.
My father-in-law showed up one day in a Dodge Stratus. After replacing the fuel pump, an axle, and a couple of other things within 6 months he sold it and bought…..a Dodge Stratus. Some people never learn.
My mother had a Jeep Grand Cherokee for about 6 months back in the 90’s. I borrowed it to go to town. When I changed the radio station, it shifted gears.
My father made the dealer take it back for the full value and bought a Land Cruiser instead. That thing is still going.
When it comes to the Land Cruiser platform, I’m a true believer.

My XJ was a beautiful beast. I still miss that truck.
I heard that Penske figured out that he couldn’t make the Saturn model profitable and so didn’t go through with the takeover.
Now that CEO/corps have decided to be woke. Ever wonder who are some of the people selling it?

I can tell you firsthand that this is the kind of horseshit MBA programs are pushing now.
Maybe that will happen but it’s not a good thing or trend. They talk as if it’s progress when it’s something entirely else. What, I don’t know.
The same places that gave Ocasio-Cortez her “economics” degree?
The only thing I see is companies who potentially eliminate half of their potential customers when they social signal.
This. It’s beyond stupid.
“…Company founders and CEOs are increasingly being turned to as thought leaders and activists with the influence and capital means to incite true social change. Now more than ever, companies and their leaders are expected to take a stance on major political and social issues. Therefore, company voices will get louder and stronger in 2019 due to increased social pressures, an increase in the transparency of company practices demanded by consumers and the growing attention to the current geopolitical environment.”
Like when Tim Cook looks to censor people based on his own stupid narcissistic bull shit? How can that possibly be good on any level where a CEO can have such power? It’s frightening in fact.
“…More and more studies are showing that the newest wave of potential talent heavily weigh the values and culture of a company that they may end up working for, and therefore companies will need to make this investment in order to recruit and retain the best talent available. As well, embracing social impact is key to engaging a growing number of customers and investors who care deeply about these issues. In an increasingly competitive business world, customers have countless options for almost any service or product you could imagine – and research shows that many will choose to buy from the companies whose values they most align with.”
I don’t see it. How this is a formula for success I don’t get. But if you measure success by faux-righteous gooby-goo so be it. Enjoy being moral frauds.
I saw this back in the 1990s where people like this insisted that it was ‘imperative’ a company follow a trend (one they support of course) and that if they didn’t they were doomed to fail. It never had much legs as workers generally saw through the nonsense but we’ll see if this pans out here.
I really like to think people are smarter than this.
How this is a formula for success. I don’t get it.
“…and research shows that many will choose to buy from the companies whose values they most align with.””
And the research undoubtedly shows that 100 percent of consumers’ values align with whatever nonsense the progressive priesthood is currently spouting.
many will choose to buy
One, two, three . . . many!
Sure, all else being equal, people will buy from companies they like. Of course, all else is rarely equal.
Right. It’s a giant high school clique. So long as the company is “in” they’re golden. Once someone in the company makes a gaffe, they’re “out.” It’s folly to pursue this as a business strategy.
“Company founders and CEOs are increasingly being turned to as thought leaders and activists with the influence and capital means to incite true social change.”
Nice use of the passive voice. Who is turning to them?
So, in skimming the Forbes article, in 2019 all companies will be piling in to prove their social justice bona fides, many of which will completely ignore the wants of their customer bases and responsibilities to shareholders along the way. And the rubes will continue to get more and more pissed off. 2019 is looking to be a really productive year.
And the rubes will continue to get more and more pissed off.

FTA:
“The decision by the states and the federal government to outlaw the manufacture, sale, and transportation of most alcohol in the United States was born of racism, nativism, government paternalism, and moralizing religiosity.”
Suderman fails to mention progressivism as a main driver of prohibition (which we all know why). He also fails to mention that feminists were major proponents of prohibition (again, we all know why he decided to leave that part off). He also bizarrely states that “racism” was behind prohibition, which I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone say before. The KKK did support prohibition, but it was because they were anti-Catholic.
It should also be noted that proponents of Prohibition were no more religiously motivated than opponents to Prohibition. Prohibition was largely a secular movement that was influenced by nativism, anti-Catholicism, feminism, and progressive eugenics.
That’s just pathetic. I can make a very slight exception for the racist angle because the proponents were generally anti-Irish, but it was by no means the driving factor behind it.
the proponents were generally anti-Irish
I think he covered that with nativism.
Of course this:

Okay, lemme talk about something that happened about 4 years ago. I was working with a woman, who was pretty cool. Thing was,she had almost no hair – like buzzcut – she was into me (which is rare enough), but I didn’t see it because I’m clueless, and I thought she was gay (note: the stubble on her head was dyed multiple colors.
Plus side: She was a self-identified libertarian. Question is, how much of a dick am I for not hooking up with her? Remember, though: no hair.
how much of a dick am I for not hooking up with her
Dude, that’s like, Dean levels of ineptitude. Sad.
Remember, though: no hair.
Don’t care.
Aside from the lack of cranial keratin, how well put together was she?
Not bad. One of my main levels of regret.
But no hair: serious boner killer for me. Also: Cluelessness

Do you have her number or a way to get ahold of her?
Don’t swim in the company pool.
I prefer “Don’t shit where you eat.” I actually said that to a doctor as part of his final warning to keep his mitts off my nurses.

I dig really short hair on the right woman.
Colossal turn-off for me. Mom usually had short hair, so it’d Oedipal, too.
No thanks. Ever.
Venetian blinds, shag carpet?
Unfortunately, never saw the carpet.
No hair? Tell me about her ears then.
If she has nice big pistol grip ears, you don’t need hair. But if she had no hair and tiny (or abnormally slippery) ears, then your sex life is going to be frustrating.
I can;t even…
What? Are you one of those sickos who likes to grab onto a nose? Or not use apostrophes?
Obligatory
I should;ve worked it out, I’m quite unlikely to find such a cool woman again. Oh well, I suck.
You fucked up. Chicks with hair that short are kinky as hell. You’d have been in for porn-film levels of making whatever your filthiest fantasies are a reality with her.
I dated a girl in college that had shaved her hair like that in high school, grew it out and mentioned wanting to have it that short again. I shaved her head like I was Brutus fucking Beefcake and then [Redacted]. It was fucking awesome. The things that girl was down to try…*wistful sigh*
Maybe it is for the better. You might not have been able to handle it.
“Question is, how much of a dick am I for not hooking up with her?”
Well, you’re not, because you wouldn’t suspect that a chick who looks like she works at Starbucks would be interested in you. Only other question is… hair? She didn’t have hair? Who gives a fuck! What was her body like? Did she have a good body? Get to the important questions before it’s too late!
Money, how much money did her daddy have?
Oh no! The shutdown has hit the Links! Now it’s getting serious.
I heard that Penske figured out that he couldn’t make the Saturn model profitable and so didn’t go through with the takeover.
My understanding, based solely on outside information available to anybody with an 8th grade reading level, was that GM (at the behest of the UAW) had already successfully destroyed Saturn by bringing it into the corporate “fold”. They no longer had any distinct, exclusive models. Penske supposedly had a potential deal with some Asian maker to put “Saturn” badges on their cars.
I thought he should get that little Saturn/Pontiac two-seater and some sort of small SUV to sell, while he ramped up.
Nobody listens to me.
They couldn’t build any distinct models as they were forced to use GM chassis.
Sorry did you say something?
OK, fair enough. My version came from mechanics at a Saturn dealership. BUT, I doubt they got invited to board meetings so it could well have been water cooler bullshit. Your analysis sounds more plausible.
It was Chery motors. I think they pulled a fast one on Penske also.
Uffda. Am I wrong for thinking that the Founders aren’t really too busy with work, but are instead winging their way to Sunny Minnesoda to throw a surprise birthday party for me?

This is fucking nuts. Some Share Blue activists are convinced that Tulsi Gabbard is a Russian agent and now they are smearing anti-war writer Caitlyn Johnstone for writing in support of Tulsi.
Special cameo from totally not insane person Kathy Griffin
These people are THIRSTY for global conflict with another superpower. WTF?
Russia aren’t as military strong as we are but still, us fighting them would be a huge mistake. And the best part about these assholes goading Trump into a war is that they would be the first ones wailing and gnashing their teeth cursing this war as soon as the war turned for the worst.
I’m old enough to remember when the far-left was against endless war in the Middle East and North Africa.
I’d have figured they’d jump back on the anti-war wagon once their warmonger candidate lost and their warmonger in chief left office, but they’re doubling down on endless unending wars forever. It’s flabbergasting.
Trump should come out in favor of socialism. The Democrats would become Anarco-capitalists at that point.
Wait, publicly fellating every farmer on national TV while shoving subsidy dollars up their asses isn’t coming out in favor of socialism?
I think I saw that porno.
ok, you have a point.
Let’s see if he can make biofuel subsidies as unpopular to the left as troop drawdowns.
These Twitter twats do realize that Russia has more nuclear yield than we do, right? Getting into a conflict with the only nation on the face of the earth that could end us would be beyond stupid.
The left would fall apart from its own stupidity, if only it didn’t have the support of the entire MSM, education establishment, administrative state…
This all boils down to Gabbard dared to agree with Trump on something and the DNC has decided that campaigning against Trump is the most important thing in the world.
The left truly has lost its mind.
I vaguely remember Putin punking Obama a few times. He must have bitch slapped Hillary on some occasion I dont remember. Thus ‘The Russians’ have become the booger man for everything the leftists dont like.

I haven’t seen the Fyre documentary on Netflix yet, but I did come across the following HOLY FUCKING SHIT moment while reading this review:
https://www.vulture.com/2019/01/fyre-festival-documentary-netflix-hulu-review.html
As an aside, the competing documentary on Hulu is quite amusing.
Grifters flock together.
“If you paid thousands of dollars to go on a trip to see Blink 182, that’s on you. That is Darwinism at its finest.”
Is there anything bad that isn’t an allegory for Trump as POTUS? Anything at all? “Cody Parkey couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn, and his NFL career fizzled after his last shanked field goal attempt ended the Bears post season. And in Trump’s America, this is the kind of thing we should expect.”
Nothing people here don’t already know probably, but about the LA teacher’s strike Forbes . Money quote for me since it’ll be handy when I argue on twitter with people about “Our Impoverished Public Schools!!!”:
Between 1992 and 2014, for instance, California teacher salaries increased just six percent after adjusting for inflation, even as the state’s per pupil spending went up at more than four times that rate. Over that same period, California student enrollment grew by 24 percent—but the state added non-teaching staff at twice that rate.
But does the “teacher’s” union complain about administration bloat? Do they wonder where all that money’s going if it’s not going to their members? lol nope
I want them to give the teachers everything they want.
It’ll mean the end of LAUSD, which is objectively a good thing.
My favorite demand is the “we want all the money out of reserves!” uh, do you not understand the concept of reserves? or the concept that your pension fund is going to be bankrupt by 2030?
lol what a clusterfuck. So glad my son is in private school and not the LAUSD garbage fire he’d otherwise be at.
The people who don’t understand basic math are the ones demanding more money to teach your kids about, to be fair, almost anything other than math,
Of my 30 or so friends from college who lived in the City of LA proper, only 3 of them went to high school in LAUSD. 1 went to Birmingham Van Nuys, one went to Chatsworth, and one went to Palisades (which, thanks to busing, actually had a gang problem).
Even the Jewish kids found Jesus when it was time for high school.
Loyola, Crespi, Chaminade… Anywhere but LAUSD.
Every teacher aspires to become an administrator at some point. More pay, phony baloney job and no need to ever interact with one of those snot nosed kids ever again.
And why should teacher salaries grow that much? Are they adding 6% (or more) greater value now than they were back in 1992? Would test scores show that?
Test scores? Ha!
One of the LAUSD union demands is no more testing. For the children, you see.
Also, ethnic studies. Seriously.
I list the police and teacher unions as the worst things about local government.
Don’t be racist esse
Would test scores show that?
Yes. Since the scores dropped, naturally they need to raise the teachers salaries to make the job attractive to more effective people that would otherwise find a higher paying job elsewhere.
//#RED4ED
But pay no attention to those bad teachers behind the curtain who they need to replace with more effective people. Those shlubs will still have jobs.
There’s no such thing as a bad teacher, only bad students.
Bullshit.
There are bad teachers. There are bad students. There are good students. Maybe one of these days I’ll meet a good teacher.
You’re a bad student of sarcasm.
After inflation?? So in addition to pocketing 68% over the same period, they pocketed 6% more for doing the same job? So they’re actually ahead over that period and didn’t fall behind in salary at all?
Next.
They always use the ‘per pupil spending’ in these articles. What they fail to mention is that that money is not being spent ON students.
Of course not. If they spent the money on the students they couldn’t extract even more money by showing the horrible disrepair of the buildings or little Johnny using a textbook from the 50s.
But pay no mind to the administrative offices with enough mahogany to make a robber baron blush.
And Little Janie not having a textbook because they are still working out the switch to Common Core.

“The rainbow flag with six colours – red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet, is the most well-known symbol for the LGBT community.

It says the additions are to ensure people from black, Asian and other ethnic minority backgrounds feel represented and welcome at their events.”

I thought the original point of the rainbow thing was that it’s, you know, fabulous. Not like it’s representing all the Crayola-toned ethnic groups, more like it’s bright and colorful and generally people like them. Kind of the “Hey, look, we’re gay people and pretty excited about it, and you should be happy about it, too, because who doesn’t like rainbows?” approach.
I see how it is. I usually comment on at least one official link before sharing my own. Oh well, here you go.

Brexit Meltdown as Theresa May is Massively Defeated on Her Crappy Deal
But I heard she survived the no-confidence vote. Britain is totally neutered.
If anyone but Corbyn was waiting in the wings she’d have been gone long ago.
She should send him a thank you note.
“Dear Communist Nutjob, thank you for being so unacceptable to everyone that I am always the lesser evil.”
Britain has become a clown show. Theresa May, possibly the worst politician on the planet, and keep in mind that includes Merkel and Hillary, was propped up as PM by the EU specifically to prevent Brexit from happening. And they’ve now been running this clown show for years pretending she’s Brexit’s savior? Are the Limey’s really THAT stupid now? Once one of the greatest empires the earth has ever seen, now a clown show. That country is done, stick a fork in it.
May will be back in a week or two and the clown show will continue.

Rand Paul
If it gets us out of there I’m happy, and I get that our ‘Toxic Masculinity’ requires a “win”, but if declaring victory is just a choice then it’s essentially meaningless, I used to expect more from Rand.
You do what you have to do and say what you have to say to get the hell out of there. Declaring victory, whatever that entails, is fine by me.
Same here. There is no winning there, just get the fuck out. Trying to nation build in Afghanistan is the dumbest idea in the history of the world. That war is about contractors raking in billions, nothing more. We have never been given an objective or what victory there is supposed to look like.
Get. Out.
Don’t blame Rand. When he was in Canada, under for surgery, they did the mangina fix on him. Standard procedure. Never go to Canada for surgery.
Well, at this point I don’t know what the objective in Afghanistan is anymore. If there isn’t a clear objective, then, yeah, “victory” and “defeat” are meaningless terms. But I do like “declare victory” as a new euphemism for leaving a bad situation.
“Man, my ex-girlfriend was such a drag. She was really, really clingy, really needy, all that shit. The final straw was when she sat in a corner moping at my friend’s 30th birthday party because she wasn’t the center of attention. She was cute and all, but I decided to just declare victory and move on.”
My concern is that we don’t learn anything. Five, ten, twenty years down the road the lesson isn’t ‘We wasted blood and treasure for virtually nothing’ It’s ‘Ok, it took a while but we won! USA! USA!” And as we all know, you get more of what you reward…
“Living in Chicago is dangerous and miserable, so I declared victory and moved to Arizona.”
Virginians Should Already Be Protesting Their Governors Antigun Proposals
Yes we should. GOA (which I like) and NRA (meh…) are based here along with VCDL (which I like). I lean towards nothing happening to further infringe on 2A of the federal Constitution and A1S13 of the Constitution of the Commonwealth, but I am also a cynic.
They’re talking about limiting how much ammo you can buy?
20 rounds a month in the Oregon version, as mentioned in there. Which means the compromise will be 50 rounds. Until next year when it will be time to close the ammo loophole.
That’s nuts, it’d be impossible to practice or target shoot. Sounds like infringement to me.
VA is done as a swing state. The growth of NOVA assures it’s solid blue from this point on.
Virginia proper should divest itself of NoVa. Maybe even unify with West Virginia.
I support, at the very least, ejecting NoVa to be annexed by DC. But that only buys time and does not solve the problem.

The entire hostility towards Russia thing is both stupid and exceedingly dangerous. First of all, if you are going to be very hostile towards a nuclear power, I mean pretty much the ONLY other nuclear power with enough fire power to be a real threat, then have a damn solid reason for it. The best thing here will always be to try to find a way to get along, first and put some effort into that. And assessing the situation, I’m not saying Putin is a good guy. Does anyone believe the Sauds are good guys? China is more of a threat to us and they are actually Communists who are serious about that ideology and about being a major world power.
Has anyone said that the left have lost their fucking minds?
Keep in mind that the stated goal of leftism is to destroy western civilization which means primarily the US. Every policy they push is designed to create dysfunction in our culture, institutions and individuals. Your reasons for warning about going to war with Russia may be the very reason they want it.
They may want to stick with more traditional methods, like destroying the traditional family and taking over the education system and media. Maybe hold off on global apocalypse.
Maybe just short of apocalypse. Oh, they are still working on the death of a thousand cuts but getting us tangled up in more foreign intrigue trying to play chess with Putin would definitely put more pressure on us and weaken us.
The best thing here will always be to try to find a way to get along
Trying to maintain peace and work towards common international goals via diplomacy is like treason or something. At least that’s what Rachel Maddow and his kid sister Chris Hayes told me.
