So, imagine my surprise when I found out that Cyber Monday didn’t mean hanging out in chat rooms looking for a sexting hookup. Yeah. I guess that’s not how Millenials do it. They don’t know how expensive bandwidth was when your bits had to walk uphill to the modem both ways! Only 3 more minutes before that nudie pic downloads!
I love it… the “Silver Tsunami”. I am not particularly worried about home prices here. First of all, they’re about 25% too high, but I’ve priced that in. Second of all, its not like there’s a shortage of old people to move here.

Joe Sestak, who I didn’t even know was running, and Steve Bullock are among the faceless rabble of mediocre white men to drop out of the race.
I honestly didn’t know about Sestak. I had to add him just to X him out. It makes you wonder how many more Democratic Presidential candidates are out there, running for office under the radar, lurking under the stage at debates, waiting to erupt like cold sores on the lips of America.

No, they don’t. So I have no idea who these people supposedly are.

It is extremely difficult to make a ‘good onion ring’ most come out really crappy.

The family of Jack Merritt called for the murder of “our beautiful, talented boy” to not be exploited for political gain, as police named the second victim as Saskia Jones, a prisoner rehabilitation volunteer.
But the Conservatives nonetheless sought to push a perceived political advantage on the issue, promising to end early release for people convicted of terrorism, while saying Jeremy Corbyn was unable to keep the public safe.

“EXCLUSIVE: Hunter Biden blows off court hearing over child support as his lawyer abruptly quits while glam baby mama Lunden Roberts leaves court after judge demanded three years of tax returns from ex-VP’s troubled son”

College basketball player to stripper to the baby mama of a corrupt politician’s son would make a damn fine movie of the week.
Dad looks proud
There’s a movement afoot to explain away Hunter’s crack and stripper habit away by blaming them on a head injury from childhood in the car wreck that killed his mother.
So brain damage runs in the family, I guess.
Of course there is. That’s Joe’s favorite fallback story.
Plus, they get bonus sympathy points by falsely accusing the other driver of being drunk.
He is so brain damaged he gets a 5 figure a month salary on his merit alone and nothing to do with his father’s position? They really want to go this route?
Think about how much he could have accomplished if he didn’t have to go through life mule-kicked-stupid.
Of course they do.
If Charlie Gard’s parents had only got him work in Ukraine–he might be an alive, rich kid today.
The funny thing is that the same car crash gave him deep knowledge of the energy industry.
We could get Warren Beatty to play the corrupt politician.
3 years of Hunter’s tax returns should be fascinating.
The actual facts of his income and “business” expenses, as opposed to what his tax returns say, would probably be even more fascinating.

Someone needs to tell Corbyn that Donald isn’t the Jewish one.
Shhhhh. You’ll only confuse him.
The Labour leader said on Sunday that convicted terrorists should “not necessarily” serve their full sentence, calling instead for a wider focus on issues such as rehabilitation and deradicalisation
Oh, so he advocates deprogramming. Anti-religion bigotry! Cultural genocide!
The attacker was apparently certified as “deradicalised”. I mean, he is now, but before he got all stabby and then deaded.
Exactly. That’s what they DID for stabby guy and he wasn’t out a day and went off to kill people, so obviously whatever method they’ve got doesn’t work (assuming they did anything, besides make him sit in a class and tell him that he probably should be nicer to people).
But it’s totally inappropriate for one side of the aisle to draw any connection there.

Huh, I guess I missed when the guy from The Shining dropped out.
That sounds like literally the opposite of abruptly quitting to me.
Ask the court to allow Biden’s personal lawyer to represent him in this case pro hac vice. Hard to get more efficient and judicious than that.
I’m trying to imagine what its like to have one lawyer, let alone so many that I can pay them to write letters to each other. But then again, I’m not a global expert on oil extraction, so I don’t get many lucrative board assignments to international energy concerns so I don’t have the same income from my skills as Biden does.

Millennials don’t know ’bout Divinyls, either.
So the parents should teach them to masturbate?
It’s something you should figure out on your own. Leads to hillarious stories of people thinking they are dying.
If sex education is based on the premise that the kids are going to do it anyway, we should have alcohol education based on the premise that the kids are going to drink anyway. (And similar vaping education.)
Eh, two of those things are inherently harmful to one’s physical health, and one isn’t.
That having been said, the only education 6-year-olds should get about ‘self-touching’ in school is “don’t”.
Getting sex ed from a state-run high-school that was run like a prison was definitely bad for my emotional health.
Wait, masturbating is inherently harmful?
Not so much anymore now that we have an effective HPV vaccine.
Don’t leave us guessing. Which ones are harmful?
Well wanking makes you go blind, so vaping is the unharmful one then?

“Day 19: The peeing has decreased to ten times per day. I’m still acutely aware of how much water I’m flushing down the toilet, so I’ve donated $30 to Charity: Water, which funds clean-water projects in 26 countries.”
Science Fact: All the water that goes down your toilet is irrevocably destroyed and can never be used by anyone else ever again.
To be fair, I do eat a lot of Indian food.
So if we build a big enough toilet we can hold all of the water in the world hostage for a steep price!?
Even better, we can offset glacial ice melting by sequestering the water in said toilet.
Win-Win
More science: Flushing a toilet in the U.S. dirties the water in underdeveloped countries.
If its yellow (or crystal clear) let it mellow
The guilt must be overbearing.
I hope you mean the guilt the people at “Charity: Water” are feeling over their flagrant crimes against punctuation.
And people say I am over the top when I point out that the bleeding hearts are all crazy.
Leave it to Millennials to think they’ve discovered that you’re supposed to drink a decent amount of water. None of us would have figured that one out without their brilliant insight.

https://news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/justices-weigh-state-copyright-power-in-georgia-legal-code-clash
It’s not that clear cut:
The state has to muddy the water because it’s bullshit.
Probably, but i don’t see why compiling commentaries and notes should be done for free
The state intentionally fails to generate their own legible copy of the legislation knowing and relying on this to happen. Putting out illegible legislation is a due process violation, even if someone else comes along and cleans them up privately.
You wouldn’t be able to get away with drafting an incomprehensible contract and holding someone else to it when they voluntarily sign on the line. This is like that only they shoot you and put you in a cage if you don’t pay someone to figure out the chickenscratch they pass.
I’ll admit ignorance of the facts of the case, but what you are arguing sounds like a different issue: which is that the law is deliberately obscure. But when we are talking about independent commentaries and case notations compiled by third parties, why shouldn’t those third parties be able to sell that? Bring the due process claim that the law is too complex, but it has little bearing on weather or not a commentary can be copyrighted.
I have such a publication in front of me now on paper, and it is an annotated legal code. It is for sale, but there is a free, unannotated version on line. Georgia also has a free, unannotated version available online.
The free online version is available through Lexis/Nexis. The annotated version looks like a paper version, and likely an electronic version for Lexis/Nexis subscribers. I think I’ve changed where I land on this – the public can get the statutes themselves for free. The plaintiffs basically argue that:
If their argument is that the State of Georgia adopting both a bare and an annotated version of their statutes means that it can’t charge for the annotated version, either, I’m unconvinced. The annotated version doesn’t have additional force of law, and the annotations are not a “state act”.
i don’t see why compiling commentaries and notes should be done for free
I don’t see why the state should charge the public for it. Don’t use the addition of commentaries etc. to the state’s official version of the statutes as a reason to charge for it. Either the official version has them for free, or it doesn’t have them at all.
If the states aren’t offering a free version (with or without annotation) then that is bullshit.
Looks like Georgia does have a free unannotated version online for free.
Exactly this.

Why We Strike Again
FTA:
“On the next two Fridays, we will again take to the streets: worldwide on November 29, and in Madrid, Santiago, and many other places on December 6 during the UN climate conference. Schoolchildren, young people, and adults all over the world will stand together, demanding that our leaders take action – not because we want them to, but because the science demands it.
That action must be powerful and wide-ranging. After all, the climate crisis is not just about the environment. It is a crisis of human rights, of justice, and of political will. Colonial, racist, and patriarchal systems of oppression have created and fueled it. We need to dismantle them all. Our political leaders can no longer shirk their responsibilities.”
There is a guy on a street corner near me, who for years has held a sign saying “The End of the World is Coming”. When I was younger, people use to mock his sign and his presence. It recently dawned on me that if he simply ended his sign by writing “Because Science!” he would be applauded by ‘right thinking’ people and would probably get a spread in Rolling Stone magazine.

Speaking of the Silver Tsunami, has anyone talked about the fact that in 20-30 years there will be a huge glut in the housing market because all the Boomers will die off? Of course the Millenials will be pissed when they inherit a house but find out that it is only worth a fraction of what it is worth today.
Well… there’s your affordable housing, at last.
Unless the immigration levels stay up. Just wish it was legal immigration.
In that time, the Baby Boomer population will decrease by 60 million. Only about 1 million people gain Lawful Permanent Residency per year. We would need to either greatly increase the rate of immigration to make up for the Great Baby Boomer Die-Off or greatly increase the birth rate.
Try telling your average middle-class woman that you want a family of 8 to 10 and tell me how that discussion goes.
Every sperm is sacred, every sperm is great….
It doesn’t have to be 1 million people a year for lawful residency. But right now that’s not going to happen from either the left or the right.
Never been to Mormon country, eh?
Well, that’s the thing. They’re not representative of the whole country. Utah can’t make up the gap all by their lonesome.

Nahh man wealth is like, Evil and mean.
Only when you don’t have any
has anyone talked about the fact that in 20-30 years there will be a huge glut in the housing market because all the Boomers will die off
Actually, I’m not sure there will be that much of a glut. The Millenials are a bigger cohort than the Boomers. If there is a glut, it will probably be on the entry level, as one big cohort moves up to the houses left by previous cohorts, and the following (smaller) cohort looks at an oversupply of entry level houses.
Warren has a plan for that.
Sure maybe that plan is to get embroiled in a world war that shrinks the younger cohort, but it’s a plan.
Also old people aren’t buying houses. They’re buying condos and town homes for way inflated prices. It’s cheaper to buy a house in my area than anything without a yard.
There won’t be a glut simply because a large portion of the boom cycle houses built in the last fifteen years are shite and won’t last that long.
Fun stuff tomorrow. I have a magistrate hearing for a civil motor vehicle infraction. I cut in front of an unmarked police car back in September, the cop got pissed and gave me a ticket. I’ve never attended such a hearing: I’ve got no tickets in the US in the last 12 years and whatever minor things I had before I didn’t dispute.
That will turn on whether the judge thinks the cop is a dick or not.
Unfortunately. The rule of law doesn’t apply to traffic court.
Yep. It’s pretty much “Did you commit the infraction?”
Your answer will be noted for the record.
You will then be instructed on how to pay your fine.
This isn’t people’s court, and it isn’t LA Law. There is no testimony or witness calling, no opening or closing arguments.
Some districts let you off the hook if the cop doesn’t show.
Dilbert creator is plugging his new book in an interview with Wired. Towards the end of the article, this jumped out at me:

In a course I took while working for the Canadian Feds called “Encountering the Media,” one of the things they repeated again and again was that talking to the media had absolutely zero upside.

They’re literally worse than telemarketers.

Music to my ears. Why did this happen then and happened again now?
Let’s see we have the inherent problem of arguing that everything constantly evolves and changes yet my old values of the past will be forever unchallenged.
Also old and modern libertarians can be very collectivist for a supposedly individualist ideology: every rich University-educated urbanite agrees with me on everything or I like new technology so therefore who uses new technology agrees with on everything.
Also there is a serious tendency to stick their heads in the sand and ignore the trends turning against them. Classical liberalism was dead even before WWI and Herbert Spencer was complaining about English Liberalism being too statist even in 1884.
For us moderns well the fiscal conservative right has been a huge failure while the left never truly abandoned statism. Woke SJWs and Communists has been simmering in the universities for decades and the Environmentalists have increased their strength. New York, Chicago, LA and SF Democrat politicians weren’t becoming libertarian. All those Mexicans aren’t turning California into libertopia. But whatever iPhones!

In the first sentence quoted you could replace ‘liberals’ with ‘communists’ or ‘socialists’. Isn’t that the end goal of communism? The end goal is to maximize liberty and prosperity?
“You fucked up. You trusted me.” – Socialist Dictator
Where do you think the Communists picked it up from?
Not sure about before. But I stick with the theory that the western democracies went fascist in the 30’s and it’s been that way every sense
What do you mean, “we”, white man?
Indeed, Fukuyama shows that he is the son of a Congregationalist minister who had no meaningful engagement with Japanese culture or language. If he had, Buddhism would have provided him with a radically different view of history.

Brett,
Although I am uncertain if I posted a link to “MEGITSUNE” whilst you and I and the individuals you mentioned were frequent commentators at another website in the past, I tend to think that I did, given my penchant for posting links to what I think may be new to fellow commentators.
I think that MEGITSUNE was one of the earliest videos I saw of this group. Later I looked up the lyrics and learned a little about folklore, old cultural norms, and a few other topics.
This might be around the time that HM posted a link to what he called “HM bait”, which, if I recall correctly, was a link to an individual self-supported in a tree who, when asked as to her well-being, called the questioner “fat” or the equivalent.
Any similar memories, HM?
I remember all that, yes.
The questioner wasn’t fat, she was thicc.
Video in question.
“Go and sing” was quite witty, actually.

“My goal is to get elected—but I plan to be the last American president to be elected by the Electoral College. I want my second term to be elected by direct vote.”

That ought to win her Wyoming.
Good luck getting 3/4 of the states to go along with that.
Barring enough states agree to go along with the “our electors will vote for the winner of the popular vote” plan? Would such a thing survive judicial challenge?
They’ve already lost that one. It was struck down in California, because the electors can’t be told how to vote.
I would love to see that. Link, please?
Here’s one.
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/federal-appeals-court-undercuts-progressive-efforts-to-nullify-electoral-college-rules-electors-can-vote-freely
With a choice quote from noted Constitutional scholar Sandy.
The panel continued, “The electoral college did not exist before ratification of the federal Constitution, and thus the states could reserve no rights related to it under the Tenth Amendment. Rather, the states possess only the rights expressly delegated to them in Article II and the Twelfth Amendment.”
whut
Exactly fucking backwards
I take that partly back. I should RTFA first.
Sorry but no it is not backwards. They are not saying the States’ rights in general are only those expressly granted under the cited clauses. They are saying that with regard to the electoral college, which was a creation of the Constitution and therefore not a preexisting area in which the States had sovereignty, the States rights and authority are as set out in the Constitution and not subject to unilateral alteration by the States.
I SAID I TOOK IT BACK!
Yeah I saw that after I posted lol
No idea if that plot would survive a challenge.
I was thinking of the Constitutional amendment that would be required for an actual direct vote.
That would be an excellent way to get an honest to god civil war going. Dumb dumb dumb unless you’re a collapsatarian.
Ten bucks says she has different ideas about how to accomplish that than the two specified in the constitution.
Schoolmarm Nazi will save the country.
Yes, neutering the states further will improve the situation.
States are racist relics anyway. We should do away with them and apportion provinces of equal population, for purely administrative purposes.

Me: Yes. Problem?

Me: Yes.
XY: With that bass boost?
Me: Is there any other way to listen to it? No, there is not.

And it has nothing to do with hearing loss.

This is hell week. Sort of. I’m happy, but we’re releasing an enterprise level app 3 years in the making, on the 10th. Needless to say, I will not be seeing any rest or relaxation or time off for the next couple of weeks, including work from home time. Happy it’s finally happening, not happy about the crunch time. Just put a day with the wife on my work calendar for Dec 20, hope I don’t have to cancel *crosses fingers and toes, may the software gods be kind and the bugs and wildfires be rare*
You poor bastard.
The worst thing I have to worry about is snowflake clients, who have never seen a major software release, freaking the fuck out over nothing major. And the old system they’ve been using for 10 years, is still sitting there as a backup. Snowflakes.
+ AS400
21 Windows servers.
The steel mill I worked for (where’s Lachowsky been, anyhow?) relied heavily on AS400 for a lot of applications.
I saw one of those once. At a company I interviewed with. The CEO points to it and says ‘and it hasn’t been rebooted in 5 years!’. Um, OK, but what’s on that thing? I don’t even know what’s in that box or what the OS is.
That situation usually results in a test – turn it off and follow the screams.
LOL been there
Heh, reminds me of one mfg company I worked for and I remember a few of the workers on the shop floor asking me ‘why do we need these computers? We never had them before and we always just did our job!’. And I said something like ‘Well, it’s my job and the company doesn’t think we can compete with their competitors if we don’t automate’.
I swear less than a month after that system went live, the servers went down and it was exactly like that. I went out on the floor and one frantic lady says to me ‘We can’t do anything, are they just going to send us home! Without pay! I can’t afford that!’. I said ‘Calm down, just do it the way you used to before we had these computers.’. I never saw such a horrified look on someone’s face. She said ‘We don’t know how to do that!’. LOL.
I dont do IT, so for an end-user, when I was told it was “a tank” and “bulletproof” I just shrugged and said “OK”.
We did have this thing called ActivePlant that, as a non-IT person, amazed me. I could see everything that the Mill was doing from Melt to Rolling. I could see melt numbers, grade, orders, rolling mill pressure on each roller, speed, thickness.
You guys do impressive work.
My father’s company was running a token ring with an AS 400 until I made him upgrade to something that didn’t cost $200k to fix.
I bet half of them will resist the new system with everything in their hearts. Because the old system has no error checking and lets them do whatever the hell they want.
Just a guess and not based on experience at all.
It’s too late. Now all they can do is whine and try to cause us grief. I’m turning off creating new stuff in the old system and any new users will have to use the new system. The person highest up the food chain of my clients already told them they are using it. So they already lost that battle. The only way they could use it temporarily, is if mission critical stuff won’t work (not going to happen, we’ve been testing for months), until we fix it.
“Because the old system has no error checking and lets them do whatever the hell they want.”
Sort of funny, because it was actually like that before I took over and fixed it. But they still found ways to cheat. No way to do that in the new system, they have to play by the rules, we had to undergo an internal security audit. So they’re shit out of luck on that. Long faces, get over it.
Ah. We had to keep the old system active – disabling it was not an option. Which was fine, really, since a lot of business would not have fit into the new system anyway.
But yeah, I can’t count how many meetings we had centering around “reducing the number of systems” when in reality none of them ever went away.
The old system will be around a long time. Even if it’s only read only eventually. Plus there’s another co-existing system that will be around for a long time. They’re in love with that thing and believe they can never live without it. I’ve been revamping it for about 10 years and adding new features and upgrading it. I want it to stay around as a data warehouse for reporting because I’ve spent a lot of time perfecting the DB for reporting, but I’d like to just remove the front end. But that will be another hell battle to pry that thing from their hands.
How Dare You Change It!
Yeah, I suck for giving them all these new tools and features they were begging for.
I personally love the tools and features nobody asked for that break the stuff we’re actually using.
One thing you can be sure of, I’m not giving anyone jackshit they didn’t ask for. I can’t remember how many times I had to explain to clients ‘Well yeah, we did that intentionally, because I don’t do things no one asks for’, and then had to find the issue in our projects list and show them and then they’re like ‘oh… oh, yeah’.
Then the second thing I can be sure of is that you don’t produce any software we get foist upon us.
It’s all custom solutions. We get requests from clients. We get the requirements and build it. We don’t create features which are not asked for. We might offer them, but never do them if they are not agreed upon. Our clients really would freak the fuck out if we did that. They’re difficult enough as it is. I mean, we’re not Microsoft or Adobe.

Lol. Just to try to get people to focus on a specific aspect and not worry about making a complete masterpiece. It’s why I choose an eye, mouth and nose. An entire face would take hours. How about just doing whatever size part that you can complete in 45 minutes? You can always complete the rest later.

Well, a bump or ding is a…bump. Or, ding. I just think it teaches others a valuable lesson about your vehicle–DON’T FUCKING TOUCH IT!
Bleah – reminds me of the Datsun 510 I customized back in the day. Lots of engine/transmission mods and my first try at body work. A couple days after getting it painted – because the paint was still new – on an early Sunday morning supermarket run I parked well away from the main parking area. Came out to find somebody (no longer there) had parked next to me and dinged my door.
Some people are the go-out-of-your-way-to-be-an-asshole asshole.
This was definitely one of that category. I mean, the car was obviously customized – a 1972 510 with all the chrome blacked out and a deep blue/purple paint job. Jerkweed just had to make his mark.

Standing by, waiting for a phone call to check a box to clear me for a business trip next week. Need one little decision from the local office of the company I am working with in Shanghai next week. Just one little detail holding me up from finishing the plan. I hate how people who have no skin in the outcome are tied into my part of planning the project.
Reminds me of the tedious delays when trying to ETS from Army. Having to obtain clearance paperwork (by hand) from every single organization and office on post even if I had never used their services. “What do mean the librarian who signs these forms isn’t here this week?”
My discharge from my enlistment in the Marines was smooth because it was in a small function that handled out-processing for Marines who were being discharged immediately after rotating back from overseas. Maybe 20 of us just doing the last, remaining tasks – mostly admin or medical/dental.
This project is more than well worth the hassle. My daily rate is double what I my monthly pay was when I was on active duty. Sounds like a lot but because of my background and what this company needs there aren’t so many people who could do it and finding those people would be a huge challenge. They already know me and what I can do so there’s no reason for them to look elsewhere.

Waiting on a call from my wife to tell me she’s on the way home from visiting her mom in the hospital. That will be my trigger to go out and order/pick-up Indian for dinner.
My boys have almost finished their homework.
I’ve had a couple short cans in prep for dinner (good thing the Indian restaurant in walking distance)
My highlight will be reading bedtime stories to my 9 year old in a couple hours.
I hope your MiL gets well soon. I love Indian food; the Queens neighborhood in which wifey works is about 50% Indian and 50% Guyanese; there are some yummy restaurants (across the street from her school is giant building that houses an Indian buffet, a taxi company, and place that sells live poultry/goats). Story time is the best. We’re working our way through the Narnia series right now.
It can’ be right with the world, someone undercooked your beef, then through an undercooked egg on it.
Spelling mistakes aside I find myself agreeing. A rare burger? Why not just have steak tartare say that point? The egg would go perfect. I had it that way once in Connecticut, amazing.
Y’all are talkin’ mess. Once that smooth, yellow yolk breaks and blends with the Bearnaise it’s beefy Heaven.
