The oldest started kindergarten today. Apparently, taking your kids to their classroom on the first day is something that parents do now. Whatever, I feel bad enough about sending my kid to kiddie jail without having to see how the sausage is made. I took my wife for a drink afterwards. Because, yeah, we’re those kinds of parents. Man, was it quiet in the house today. It was… excellent.

My youngest starts Kindergarten next week.
My chin gets a little grayer each year.
Wow, Summer is almost over.
Minnesota State Fair starts a week from tomorrow. That was always a bittersweet time when I was a kid. The Fair was great, but you knew that school was looming like STEVE SMITH over a hiker.
School starts before Labor Day? Say it isn’t true, Joe?
Jeebus, fourscore must be your age. School was starting before September when I was still in K12, in the 70s.
School starts after Labor Day here, Hyp.
Ya’ll must be some of those kulaks or wreckers.
We haven’t even gotten the good weather yet. Still foggy in the mornings.
Still in the low-mid 90s with 60%+ humidity, every day here.
All three kids in our household successfully completed their first day!
And it looks like we got really good results on the game of Teacher Roulette.
For those who haven’t done this game yet… finding the right fit for your child with their teacher is really hard. It is hard to know what your child will respond to. My oldest had a terrible kindergarten teacher. She was mean as a hornet and it really had a negative impact on his attitude. So the next year we got the nicest lady you’d ever want to meet. She was really great, and super sweet. And it wasn’t a great fit either… because our son is super nice and well behaved and charming…. so she spent all her time on the problem kids and let him skate without pushing him. He did fine, but didn’t do everything he could have.
Finally he got the right mix of tough love and really achieved his full potential. Now he’s in middle school where you play the same game 6 times each year. So far, so good. He seems to like all of them, and they seem to be on point with the material. And the girls both seem to have the perfect fit.
So, here’s hoping that all of your kids are above average and their teachers are the right fit.
School should start after Labor Day. Starting in August is BS.
My son is playing Chrono Trigger on a CRT tv and all is right in the world.
I am so disappointed about the details of this fatal taco eating contest.-
Either he choked, had an allergy or just a coincidental ailment not related to the contest…or he had dirt on the Clintons.
But… did he win?
It would be a shame if he died and lost on the same day.
Did someone tell him Trump was impeached as his last breath?
Seriously… Were they hard or soft? Chorizo y papas, huevos? Lots of cheese? …
The sensible thing to do when someone dies in a tragic and freak accident during a safe community activity is to cancel that activity forever.
Or pass a gun law. Can’t be too safe. If it saves one child…
Common sense taco control now!
“Emergency medical technicians then attempted the Heimlich maneuver and CPR before paramedics arrived in an ambulance and tried to resuscitate him, according to the fans.”
So he didn’t have a pulse or an airway? That must have been some taco.
“Catered by Chipotle”
They don’t do tacos
They don’t do any kind of Mexican food.
“Deep State working against Trump impeachment! Or, you know, just doing their jobs.”
The probe is just getting embarrassing. We need to investigate because reasons. We need the same judge because reasons.
Never mind that the case they’re claiming is the same is civil, while the case they’re trying to link it to is criminal.
The House Judiciary Committee claimed that the cases are related because they both tie into what they are now calling an “impeachment investigation” of Trump.
Of course, that’s not even a law enforcement investigation or a judicial subpoena. Its not even remotely close to being related to the grand jury investigation that they want to loot for leaks to the press. There aren’t even two “cases” – there is one case (the grand jury investigation) and there are Congressional hearings. You don’t even have to get to the technicalities of how two separate matters are related under the applicable law.
Hi Brett!
Congrats on the big day! You know this, but it goes really fucking fast so enjoy the silence.
Due to parent anger and inconvenience, they have extended kindergarten to a full school day. For my other 2 kids, it was only 3 hours, 20 minutes.
I can’t recall, but I believe both of mine had full day kindergarten. I think it was the same thing – working parents trying to handle the logistics of such a short day.
That’s the way it was when I was a kid. Kindergarten kids were split into two groups, AM and PM. I was PM.
PM…. where you have to pay for before AND after child care.
My son moves on to middle school this year. Everyone said it would fly by, but nothing prepares you for how fast it actually is. Seems so recently that he was standing out on the corner holding up the “FIRST DAY OF KINDERGARTEN” sign my wife made.
My oldest starts MS next week too. He is…. not ready. When I was a kid, it was grades 7-8. Now, it’s 6-7-8.
I worry that mine isn’t, either. I love him dearly and he’s such a smart, sweet kid, but he’s very naive and immature for his age, not to mention small. I fear sixth grade is going to be cruel for him.
Exactly the same as mine. Smart, but naive and immature. And he sucks at sports other than surfing and swimming. In other words, he sucks at the sports they play at middle school.
My son starts his sophomore year in college next week and my little girl is a senior in HS. And yes, we looked at that exact picture last weekend and Mrs. Tundra got a little misty.
Not me, though. I’m tough.
School starts in two weeks.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year….
Hanson brothers: tough, but still play with toy cars. Seems fitting.
LOL! Ok, then, just for you:

Yes it does. My youngest just started high school today.
My 2 youngest grand daughters graduated college this past Spring. Time, where does it go?
Damn, I forget how early places without a Kings Dominion law start school. We’ve got three more weeks to go.
Michigan has a law that school can’t start until after labor day, but almost every district asks to start early because we get so many snow days.
Our snow days were taken from spring recess and/or tacked on at the end of the year.
We had something like 14 last year. They took away some scheduled off days and added on to the end of the year. They already go until June 15th so no one wants to do that again.
Yikes. We got a fair amount of snow in Rochester but not 14 days off worth. I don’t remember more than 5 or 6 days max.
Weak.
My experience in growing up in rural Upstate NY is that the school districts feel like the locals are capable of getting the kids to school no matter if it’s several feet of snow, ice, meteor strikes, etc.
I think Fairfax County is the only one that asked for an exemption here. All the Richmond area schools start after Labor Day.
I had to look that up, but IIRC it was always the day after Labor Day for me in New York.
I must have missed the part that says to put a gun to your neighbors head and say “pay up”
. “I never hear any of that from Republicans. Never, ever.”
Interesting. I hear it just about every week in some form or fashion. Turns out we just believe in this thing called personal responsibility where we effect the change we want to see instead of begging daddy gubmint to do it.
I hear about it from Republicans all the time. Just not in the context of politics or government.
I made the call that Christan socialists could be an avenue for capturing a segment of the “safe” Republican base.
Have some Buttercup dialing that strategy to 11, and try to hold your lunch.
There’s a huge Christian demographic that has been sucked into the revivalist “emotions are all that matters” pablum that infects the American church, especially the evangelical and less liturgical mainline denominations. There are a lot of easy pickings if socialists can find a wedge to put between those people and the conservative culture that permeates most of those denominations.
Churches are SJW indoctrination shops now. The methodist church is about to break up over it.
There are a handful of denominations that are leaning left, and a smaller handful that are SJW indoctrination centers (look at you UU), but your average church, even in very progressive areas, tends to skew conservative. I went to a church in Palo Alto and it was more conservative than my church was in Dallas.
I think there’s a disconnect there between the church hierarchies, which are all leftist among the mainline Protestant denominations, and the actual parishes.
My son came up through Scouts in an extremely conservative Texas neighborhood: God, guns, Reagan.

The Belle was parked on the south end of this island for years, but the city just couldn’t take care of her; I miss her quite a bit.
Wallis is such a, umm, contradiction. On the one hand, his personal work & ministry among the poor is simply outstanding. In the past, he has also done a great job of calling out the contradictions among conservatives who want to have the state enforce biblical mandates against things like homosexuality.
But, in doing the latter he takes a stand against using the bible as the basis for biblical law then turns to poverty and…uses the bible as the basis for biblical law.*
* I know he is misreading things but, even if he wasn’t, the contradiction is astounding.
Render unto caesar
What? You never read the Bible? You totally missed the part where Jesus went lobbying in Rome to get the Ceaser to send down the Roman legions to force the evil rich to give all their money to the poor? Man, there’s a lot of under edumencation round here.

Seems like she’s about one after-school special away from porn.
I really hope she isn’t following the Bella Thorne career arc, but….
My daughter is into that show. Now I can’t unsee this.
Her face, especially her eyes, look really different. I hope she didn’t get any cosmetic surgery, girl is only like 22 years old or something.
Yeah, she’s super cute and super talented… but she’s been raised in a world where appearance is everything, and every single competitor is a 10. A bunch of that group of actresses seem to have had things done – lips, boobs, etc. It would be hard not to develop body image issues in that world, even if you are getting validated by sycophants and hoards of fans 24/7.

Can anyone help me out on the question of what the advantage of a nuclear powered missile would be? Something that would just add to the fallout?
Lighter weight, perhaps? I’m not exactly sure how a nuclear scramjet would be configured or what the nuclear power plant would be doing in scramjet mode.
I just found out about Project Pluto during my searching. It’s a fascinating nuclear ramjet program from the 50s and 60s. Basically, instead of igniting fuel to heat up air that expands out the back of the missile, the nuclear waste heat heats the air, and you don’t need fuel injection into the airstream.
Air breathing motors can’t operate above certain altitude
I forgot we have a weapons expert! Are missiles just gliding after lift phase? Something like this means they could continue to accelerate?
Yes, missiles that leave the atmosphere re-enter on a ballistic trajectory, with some types having steering flaps for final guidance
Range and station keeping ability. If tensions get high enough, you could launch your missiles and have them circle over the ocean near their targets. If you go to war, then they fly to their target. After deploying their warheads, have the missiles fly around delivering lethal doses of radiation to everything not worth a nuke.
Sounds like something Max Zorin would come up with.
So, big explosion, spike in radiation.
How does this not trigger a no-shitting nuclear response?
I don’t think you would ever use one outside of a nuclear strike.
My understanding is that they notify other nuclear countries when nuclear tests are happening. Same way people get their panties in a wad a couple days before every NK missile test.
I meant as an actual weapon used against an actual target.
I don’t think this was a “nuclear test”, or so the Russians claim. It was the propulsion system that was supposedly radioactive.
I would guess that it also applies to other missile tests that would potentially trigger national security alarms, but I’m just spit balling.
Are they talking about an Orion pulse rocket? Or some kind of nuclear steam turbine aircraft? Most direct nuke rockets aren’t powerful enough to operate in the atmosphere.
This is a nuclear version of the ramjet. Ramjets are simple. There is an inlet, a combustion section, and a nozzle. In normal ramjets, in the combustion section there are fuel nozzles spraying fuel into the combustion section with igniters to start the fuel burning. Air compresses in the inlet, the combustion in the combustion section increases the temperature of the air, causing an increase in the air pressure. The air then expands in the nozzle providing the thrust. Ramjets work well at higher speeds (Mach 1+ to Mach 5) but have trouble getting to that initial speed. There is usually some sort of booster engine (rocket, another jet engine) necessary.
I don’t know for certain but I believe the Russian nuclear ramjet works by heating the air in the combustion section via a nuclear reactor than burning some sort of fuel. One reason the US stopped working on this technology is the air coming out of the engine is radioactive. I don’t know whether the Russians have solved this problem or they don’t care about the problem.

The exercise will concentrate on humanitarian aid, disaster response, and counterterrorism efforts in the region, Gabbard reported.

Here’s an interesting story on the intersection of science and politics, from Australia. Apparently there’s a bit of a controversy over the taxonomic classification of the dingo, with some scientists arguing that it is its own species while others argue that it’s just a dog. The debate is fueled in large part by the fact that Australia has conservation laws protecting indigenous species as well as other laws allowing the culling of wild dogs.
It seems to me that it would just be easier to lobby for specific protection for the dingo if that was your concern, rather than try to fudge scientific classification to get your preferred policy in by the back door.

Haters not welcome
Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler, joined by a multiracial coalition of civil rights organizations, faith leaders and community groups, said during a gathering Wednesday that anyone “using the guise of free speech to commit acts of violence” is not welcome in the city.
“You want to be hateful, stay home,” added Jo Ann Hardesty, who this year became the first black woman on the Portland City Council. “Do not get on a plane, on a bus and come to Portland. We don’t want you here. We never wanted you here. If you come, we will expose you to the light of day.”
The weekend rally is organized by the Proud Boys, whose founder has described it as a “fraternal organization” for young “Western chauvinist” men, and is expected to attract demonstrators from around the country. They say the purpose of their “End Domestic Terrorism” event is to oppose anti-facists, collectively called antifa and known for wearing masks and all-black clothing. Organizers want antifa to be declared a domestic terrorist organization.
——
The expectation of aggression is not unwarranted in Portland, where far-right protests have rocked the city since Donald Trump became president and two people were fatally stabbed on a train in 2017 by a suspected white nationalist accused of shouting anti-Muslim hate speech.
At the heart of the protests have been far-right activists who say the Constitution protects their speech. Wheeler, however, has condemned their protests and said they “peddle a message of hatred and bigotry.”
Not right wing haters, anyway.
Anyone to the right of Stalin not welcome is what Wheeler should’ve said. What a mendacious piece of crap and Portland deserves the unfortunate mayor and city officials they have.
it has*
Whoa. I’ve been out of pocket taking my son to college. Are you back in the US of A?
What a piece of work that guy Wheeler is.
“Do not get on a plane, on a bus and come to Portland. We don’t want you here. We never wanted you here. If you come, we will expose you to the light of day.”
Trump should tweet this @Mexico.
“who say the Constitution protects their speech”
We’ll show them how wrong they are!
Trump caused antifa to riot through downtown and terrorize old people in their cars. I mean, wouldn’t you?
During Wednesday’s event sponsored by the city, hecklers attempted to interrupt the speeches of people denouncing hate.
City officials hoping for relative calm must also contend with antifa, whose members have issued an online call to their followers to turn out to “defend Portland from a far-Right attack.”
Portland’s Rose City Antifa, the nation’s oldest active anti-fascist group, says violence against right-wing demonstrators is “exactly what should happen when the far-right attempts to invade our town.”

She’ll save us, one executive order at a time
Democratic presidential contender Kamala Harris on Wednesday released a plan to address what she termed domestic terrorism after three recent mass shootings in a week that resulted in the deaths of 34 people.
Harris, a U.S. senator from California, said that communities across the United States such as Gilroy, California, El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, where the recent shootings occurred, have been “traumatized by domestic terrorism and gun violence.”
Harris said that, if elected president, she would pursue passing a law that would allow individuals to petition federal courts to temporarily restrict a person’s access to firearms if they show signs of plans to commit a hate crime by making racist threats or issuing anti-immigrant manifestos.
Red flags for everyone. We just need to get that authoritarian monster Trump out of the White House so we can do what needs to be done.
Trump’s supporting red flags as well. Whoever wins next year the 2nd amendment is probably fucked (especially if the dems make further gains in the Senate)
It’s lovely ain’t it?
Trump will lose if he supports red flag.
Surely he has seen up close how bureaucrats twist processes to fuck with people.
He may have finally stepped on a landmine with this one. He’s always been a squish on guns, now his daughter is out flogging the red flag BS and plenty of nu-GOP types are jumping on board. The NRA is useless and the other gun rights organizations are too small and weak to do anything about it. The only way to fight this is for people who live in Red Districts to flood their reps with letters supporting 2A.
Unfortunately, I think pro-2A people’s luck has run out.
https://babylonbee.com/news/report-king-george-really-regretted-not-implementing-red-flag-laws-on-deranged-american-colonists
It’s sad because the 2A had a good run with more states issuing/allowing concealed carry and heller, AWB sunset, etc.
He’s seen it, but his lesson seems to be “hey, I get to do that too!”, not “that’s bad”.
It’s pretty typical Trump where despite all the evidence of the past two years he does seem to basically have this crusty old white guy nostalgia where he thinks the government is composed of boring but straight shooting civil servants and the cops are all gruff and tough but fair sorts.
If there’s a federal red flag law, you’ll see every single leftist twit of a college student being urged to denounce their MAGA uncles with the guns to the authorities, and then people will start to die. They already shot some old guy up in Maryland when they came to take his guns of this shit.
Maybe it’s a setup to finally start cleaning house.
He lets the fake 2A supporters on the right work with their slaver lefty pals to draft legislation and then, after passage, veto it and say “Nope. Unconstitutional. Fuck off. Oh and these assholes who voted for it with you.”
This isn’t 37D pinochle. He just supports red flag.
Ironic since according to “the great revolt” the NRA put Trump over the top to win 2016, now he stabs them in the back.
I know. I’m just looking for a ray of sunshine.
Thanks a lot, Debbie Downer.

He’s not even playing 2D checkers at this point. Hopefully they can’t get an acceptable deal and The Turtle refuses to bring it to the floor.
Best hope I can give you is that gun control may be the Democrat version of Obamacare repeal, hence they’ll go all-in on a deal no Republican can accept.
But he also has said he doesn’t.
petition federal courts
how could that ever work?
If petition means loudly protesting and the courts means the judges’ homes, it could work
everyone’s driving to St Louis to declare their brothers-in-law ?
If red flag exists I’m calling in my sister’s ex husband. I’ve got enough evidence, and he’s a dickhead.
(his current thing is manipulating the kids into making my sister’s life so hellish that she gives up custody. And it’s probably going to work.)
(that has nothing to do with red flag, I know. He’s just an asshole.)
how could that ever work?
Yer gonna need a bigger court.
Also, not clear if a federal court can issue an order or an injunction if there is no violation of federal law in view. Which, for the typical red flag petition, there wouldn’t be.
Good. Let’s throw every single person in. Flood the system.
Start with politicians, then cops, then judges, etc.
Oh man, this may be funniest thing I read on Glibs this week, and god help me, I read Hat & Hair religiously.
?
plans to commit a hate crime by making racist threats or issuing anti-immigrant manifestos.
There ya go. Supporting the wrong policies is deemed to be a threat of violence. Nothing more than an implementation of the “hate speech is violence” mantra of Antifa.
Let’s hope she continues to fail to attract support. I think I’d take any other candidate (including Bernie) over her. Maybe not Hillary, though.
Meh, “anti-immigrant” isn’t ‘anti-immigration” Giving her the benefit of the doubt, but with the El Paso thing still fresh she could be talking about “Fuck these wetbacks, shoot’em on sight” not “Build the wall.”
If you look at the history of how Red Flag laws are used as time goes on, we should be worried as fuck. In the Soviet Union, speaking out against Communism got you a Red Flag and a bed in an asylum. Listening to the rhetoric of the left, they will do the same exact thing to confiscate your guns. And once you’ve been labeled, you will be lucky if you’re ever allowed to own a firearm again.
Oh I agree, I even think ‘Fuck these wetbacks, shoot’em on sight” is no reason ( by itself ) to red flag someone. I don’t think it’s necessary to misrepresent Kamala’s words to argue the point. RCD went straight to policy positions when she could be talking about actual threats against a group of people.
I don’t think Harris has taken a single action in her adult life that warrants the benefit of the doubt. She sure has shit never afforded anyone else that benefit.
In the end it’s for me not her, I give people I disagree with every break, read their arguments at face value and in the best light, I hold those I agree with at a higher level of skeptical scrutiny, I like to think it helps keep me from falling into team think, and helps strengthen my own positions.
She wants to recreate East Germany.

According to Wikipdedia: Nicetown began centuries ago as a small town in what was then rural Philadelphia County, outside the City of Philadelphia (which occupied the area known today as Center City). Mease notes that Nicetown was named for Hans te Neues, a Mennonite immigrant who purchased the land of present-day Nicetown in 1699.

I realize what he was doing here, but … yeesh.
So dumb.
Why if it wasn’t for rape and incest Steve King would have no kids.
SHUT THE FUCK UP, CUCKTARD!
He’s being principled. I have a hell of a lot more respect for him on this issue than I do the limpwrist Republicans who make exceptions for that. Because if your position that a human life is a human life, then it doesn’t matter how the pregnancy started.
Funny how that’s not the pull quote in the headline, considering it actually expresses the whole point of his position in a single sentence.
The point is if he had just ended there….
But no! He had to elaborate on it with the stupidest fucking argument on the face of the planet.
Steve King is the living embodiment of “You’re Not Helping”.
I mean, how hard is it for a putative republic to not put people named “King” into its parliament? It’s in the name, FFS, but you keep shoving them in there.
Sorry, I just read the article again, I’m not seeing what argument he is making. He stated his reason for not including the rape/incest exception, which is that a fetus is an innocent human life, regardless of the circumstances of conception. He then went on to say that humanity has a long long history of rape, incest, and other awful things, and that isn’t a valid reason to kill the product of even the most heinous of rapes. To me, that’s not even an argument, that’s just self evident from the premise of “all pregnancies are innocent babies, and killing innocent babies is wrong.” To me, if you accept the premise that a fetus is a human life, then you can’t really make any exceptions for the circumstances of conception. If you don’t accept that premise, yeah he sounds like a kook.
You skipped over the part where he asks “Would there be any population of the world left if we did that?” which is not only a stupid claim, but an obnoxious one. And the thing is, I agree with him on the fact that being the product of rape or incest shouldn’t be a de facto death sentence, but he’s not helping the cause.
Yeah he really Trump/Biden’d that response.
There is a thing called “rhetoric”, or in this case, we can even call it “apologetics”. When the folks that agree with you are shaking their damn heads, you’ve lost the plot.
And you can be sure Steve King is now the face of the anti-abortion movement (if he wasn’t already) as far as the MSM is concerned.
I mean, is he wrong? Like, if you go back far enough in your direct line, I bet you find a rapist, even its just Ogg the Caveman.

Welp, dog just bit the middle kid.
Now we’ve got the family trauma as the dog’s getting put down tomorrow.
Fear-biters, just don’t. I knew it was going to happen but I humored my wife for too long.
Sorry. That’s a bitter pill. My dog bit me once, but I was trying to force him into the kennel at the vet, so now he is on Prozac and doesn’t get kenneled anymore, but I did consider if he needed to go for the hard goodbye.
Our biggest dog is a little neurotic, so when he goes to the vet, he gets Trazadone the night before and two an hour before his appointment. And he still gets muzzled.
How do they even know things like prozac and trazadone work on dogs?
Trazadone has been a dog tranquilizer for years. And when a dog goes from a whirling dervish to, “huh, I think they just shoved a thermometer up my butt”, it’s a pretty good indicator.
I’m not sure, but it has taken my dogs anxiety from an 11 to a 5.
The dog won, why aren’t you putting down the loser kid? jj
Ugh. Sorry, Scruffy.
Bad situation but it needs to happen.
Especially since it sounds like it was not completely out of character for this dog.
Still sucks though.
Sorry
Get rid of the middle kid instead.
Ugh. No bueno. Sorry to hear that. I’m not sure my family could handle such a situation.
I had a Chow, beautiful dog, wonderful with the kids, my 2 year old daughter would ride him around like a pony holding onto his hair and he would be docile as can be. Except to everyone outside our immediate family. He would jump and fight with any of the neighborhood dogs he could get near to and he bit too many people, I had to get rid of him finally. Very aggressive dogs, beware.
Sorry, Scruffy. That’s a tough deal.
Sorry 🙁
Damn, sorry Scruffy. Hope your kid is doing okay.

I remember seeing something like that, where they sort of got tipped off by people turning in 10K a year of income while living in million dollar houses. Well, I mean, maybe the Goyim need to pay their fair share?
The other thing they do in NJ is get on the school board of education and gut the schools. Since they don’t send students to public school there is little incentive to spend money on it other than what is required. This makes the town even less attractive to the goyim and decreases home values making it easier for the community to expand as the homes are usually purchased by members of the Jewish community.
Gut the schools you say…maybe I could become a Jewish.
“Gut the schools you say…maybe I could become a Jewish.”
Yeah, now you have me thinking about converting. The wiminz do shave down there, don’t they? I mean, asking for friend.
Lol. I like your priorities of choosing a religion.
The article mentions it, but essentially the men are supposed to spend years studying the Torah, and also get married young and have a ton of kids. So they get married, their wives work like part time jobs while the kids are in school, and they spend all their time studying Torah.
Which of course qualifies them for all kinds of welfare benefits. But you know what, I doubt the LA Times would do a story about a different community where people were willfully unemployed for the purpose of extracting the maximum possible welfare disbursement.
I did find it a bit odd for the LA Times to focus on this group on the east coast.
The issue itself is fairly well known in NY and NJ.

My wife gets really annoyed because they love to walk right down the middle of the fucking road 4-6 people wide pushing school bus sized baby strollers. They do this even though we have some of the best sidewalks in the area, on both sides of the streets. And when they see you coming, they are very slow to move aside so you can pass. Wifey says ‘they think they own the damn street’. That being said, they don’t bother anyone and the neighborhood is very nice, clean, and tranquil.
Not at all. I was just jawin’.

It’s all about the highway robbery system. I got a camera generated ticket from DC last winter. $200 fucking dollars for doing 41 mph in a 35 zone and I’m pretty sure there were no road signs with the speed limit posted anywhere. WTF? Thieving bastards.
You can’t even get anyone here in MD to drive the speed limit, it’s a lost cause. They had to take down the camera system because people went fucking ballistic on their asses. If there’s one thing MD drivers will stand up for, it’s their right to drive like insane idiots. I just commented to my wife when I went to pick here up from BWI Saturday evening, I’m not sure why they waste money building all those amusement parks with roller coasters. Just give people a car and put them on the beltway for an hour. Even the most hardcore adrenaline junkie will get their share of thrills and narrowly escaped disaster.
Right by Catholic U, there’s a big road. Think its Michigan Ave. It goes from 45 MPH, to 25, and stays 25 for about 100 feet, then back to 45. There’s a speed camera right in the middle of that 100 feet.
I know that shit really pissed me off. It had to be something like that. I really do not speed much. I mean sometimes I get on the beltway and I’m doing 75 without realizing it, when the speed limit is 55, because everyone else is either doing 40 or 90+ and weaving in and out of traffic with no turn signals. It’s sort of disorienting to say the least. You have to focus on survival, there’s no time to even look at the speedometer.
Database?!! That’s high tech, man. Cobol indexed files.
I was in our local post office a while back and as is typical, the post office lady is telling a customer that the printer has sopped working again, so she can’t print whatever. I was standing next in line, so I said ‘Try turning it off and back on’. So she’s like ‘Ugh, how do I do that? I don’t know how’. I could see the plug in the back, so I told her ‘Just unplug it and plug it back in again’. She did it and magically, the damn printer started working again. She was just totally amazed at my level of techno wizardry. IOW, the government are not hiring the sharpest tools in the shed.
