Why, ONT, It Doth Bestride The Narrow World
Good evening fellow Morons. Been quote a while since I've seen an administration start off like this, if ever.
Comrade Bass
Goodbye Pacific Palisades, Hello Full Communism
Soboroff later clarified to Pollack that "the ‘consultant’ will be an ‘owner’s rep’ to oversee the work of the various agencies involved, much like a construction manager on a building project," and that there "would be a competitive bidding process for the role.” In other words: this is going to take some time. Rather than a relatively simple process of homeowners filing their insurance claims and rebuilding once the money and the permits come through, big-name consultants will spend big money on big-name contractors to give the Palisades a big government makeover.I'm not going to claim that government officials set the fires, but boy, these communists fucks sure do take every opportunity to screw the citizens, don't they?
Indeed, that's exactly the case.
With homeowners locked out of the process and without any oversight, Bass will pursue her dream of rebuilding the Palisades "in a more equitable and environmentally sustainable way," as she put it. I'm picturing government-spec apartment buildings and other multifamily dwellings on burned-out lots where single-family homes used to stand. Those 15-minute cities don't build themselves, you know — mostly because, given the choice, people reject them.

So I’m a Sociopath. So What?
If it’s somebody who screamed at me because I refused to mask up? If it’s somebody who screamed at me because I didn’t want to participate in this decade’s Tuskegee experiments? If it’s somebody who screamed at me that I hate women because I don’t want to pay doctors to cut up unborn babies, or that I’m a TERF because I don’t want men in the same locker rooms as my daughter, or that I’m a racist because I won’t let animals wearing the guise of humans act rabid? If it’s someone who covers up grooming and rape because it’s “just their culture?” If it’s someone calling me racist because I want the border closed, because I want the cartels gone? If it’s someone calling me a sociopath because I understand the consequences that their minimum wage laws will have on all of us? Yeah. I lack kindness and empathy for those groups. And I lack kindness and empathy for the people saying I should have kindness and empathy for those groups. The most I can, or will do, for any of those is pray for their souls as I pull the trigger, if they endanger my family.The famous words of Andrew Breitbart come to mind. “Fuck you. War”

No, the US is not a ‘nation of immigrants’
Brennan, in an attempted debate with Vice President JD Vance (because that’s what it was), declared, “Well, this is a country founded by immigrants.” Vance had a brilliant response. But the underlying point is that we are not a nation of immigrants. We are a nation that takes in a lot of immigrants historically, but even today, only 14 percent of the population of the U.S. is foreign-born. The remaining 86 percent of us are native to the U.S. And how many generations of your family have to be born here before you’re no longer tied to your ancestors’ Old World homelands? I have neither visited nor even met anyone from my ancestors’ home countries of origin. I am just an American, like anyone else born an American to Americans.
I'd like to point out that America was NOT “ founded by immigrants”. If that was true the Pilgrims would have assimilated into the tribes of natives that were already here. America was conquered, and we were kind enough to allow the natives to become part of the country that we subsequently founded.
Good Eats RFK Jr. can take Maine approach to food nationwide
The potential appointment of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services perfectly aligns with Maine’s roadmap to fix our food system. Whatever is right with America’s food system can be found in Maine. In RFK, Maine will have a partner to bring what is successful in Maine to the rest of the country. As a chef, my life is rooted in food. While I have always loved food and restaurants, my love transitioned from hobby to career while living and attending college in Maine. It was here I learned about local food systems, sustainability, and how a properly well-managed resource (Maine Lobster) is best managed by the fishermen themselves with little government intervention. I have spent many days driving around Maine seeking out local potatoes, blueberries, and of course whoopie pies. Maine’s local products are iconic and the perfect representation of how properly managed food systems, with minimal government intervention and no massive subsidies, can produce nutrient-rich food, but this culinary utopia is at risk. This is why when I think about the pending RFK Jr. nomination, I think about Maine.Mmmm. Now I want lobster. They're hard to find down here, only the bougie market has them, and the last time I checked they were $30 /lb. When I was a kid vacationing in Maine every year you could buy enough lobsters to feed our family of 6 for that! Tough Love Attacked by a Gym Teacher
Late one afternoon, I pushed my luck. Mr. Ray had just put us through two hours of drills with no obvious goal in mind. We were drenched and annoyed when we tumbled downstairs to the locker room to shower and change. Mr. Ray’s office was down there, directly across from my locker. He went in but kept his door open. Whatever his problem with his girlfriend was, it was putting him more and more on edge. Just then, one of my buddies from the other end of the locker room called out to me if I was going to date a certain girl. “No,” I called back in a loud stage voice that Mr. Ray was sure to hear. “Girls hate it when you’re shootin’ blanks.” I never saw it coming. In a second I’d crashed into the lockers. I felt my head get bashed against the steel a couple more times, complete with a blast of white noise invective that filled my ears, a sound so raw and raging that I couldn’t make out any of the words. The locker room went dead, and stayed that way. Mr. Ray had gone nuts. Almost as quickly, Mr. Ray realized what he’d done. He retreated to his office and quickly shut the door. I collapsed on the bench, trying go catch my breath. Then I quietly finished changing and went home. I was sore and bruised. I was also in a good position. Mr. Ray had been a teacher at the school for over 10 years. And I could end his career with one phone call.No, I'm not saying that teachers should have free reign to push students into lockers. But today's schools definitely DO need a lot more discipline. And nuns whacking rulers across knuckles never killed anybody.
Cleaning House
Proposed Revised @PeteHegseth To-Do List
1. Fire the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. Replace him with a killer. You can’t change an org if you don’t change its head. 2. Instruct that “climate change” shall never again be labeled a strategic threat; our threat is enemy nations and groups, not the weather in a century. Related: The Army having dumped its green uniform, the military is no longer concerned with green frivolity. 3. Instruct that EVERY attack option briefed to POTUS will include significant degradation of enemy military capabilities; no more “messages” or “signals.” Diplomats send messages. If we hit, it hurts and makes the enemy less capable. 4. Tell the UK we’re keeping Diego Garcia; they can work backwards from that end state.More at the link.

They are property rich, and generally inherited or bought the properties at a lower valuation. Most of them lost insurance, which the state was supposed to guarantee after chasing the insurance companies out of the state, and even then the expectation is that the permitting will take years, and that by that time the Prop 13 grandfathering will expire since they had not rebuilt the house within required timelines
Also, new construction fees, processes and inspections pretty much put new construction out of the hands of anyone who isn't backed by a hedge fund.

That was some IQ lowering stuff.
Liked the contraptions coming birth announcement, too.
These people vote, possibly. The problem I find with many texts, and why I don't like it, is it should require complete sentences and spelling. Amirite? Also I don't type with my thumbs. I text grocery lists or to see if people are alive now and then, including my husband when I am too tired to find him in this house. It is not a communication device for me. Oh, I like to text photos and that's it!
New DIL's mother likes to text me with emogies from FL. I play along because I like her then give up and call. I am not of this decade and prefer sending messages with pigeons from my dovecote.
This would quickly confuse the simps and think I put coats on my doves. Which leads me to go to bed and read a book. A real book with pages.

Here's how. No guns allowed on campus or in campus housing, which means dorms. Grandson can, however, get a secure locker inside the quite large storage facility in the campus police station, and store his guns there. He badges in and out with his student ID, and transports his in-case weapons out to go home, to go hunting, or to go to the convenient outdoor range practically adjacent campus on a State Gameland property, with target ranges from 10 out to 200 yards.
There is an active rifle team and rifle club on campus. There is an active trap and skeet club.
I checked all the other schools to which he applied, and NONE have a setup like this. All appear to be quite gun UN-friendly, in fact.
Know of others that do it right like at Penn State?

Idiots who say that should be throat punched - for their own good - so they won't be so quick to say something so stupid in the future.
The real answer:
The immigrants that founded this country weren't flown in on charter jets to an established high trust modern city with running water, advanced sanitation, reliable electricity, free health care, a furnished air conditioned home, funded K-12 education, modern transportation with paved roads, rail and water options, lighted streets void of wild animals and a well established supply chain and welfare system.

Some times the truth is simpler.
The left knows that their policies will cause devastation that then they can use to "rebuild" in whatever way their current fad says we should do so.
So did they set the fires? No. But they did bring in the illegals that did. And they did intentionally take resources away from fire prevention and fire fighting.

Sorry. No.
If a group of freaks decides they want to complete reset society into a way that feels good for them they are free to leave and go do so somewhere else.
But if they attempt to force you to play along with their game it isn't sociopathy to refuse.
And this is easy to understand if you just take a different societal model that they don't like and then attempt to force them to live it. So hey you want Big Gay I want...Reconquista Spain or hell Starship Troopers.
Why the hell do you get to rewrite society in complete violation of our Constitution and I don't?

But when they talk about "rebuild" they are talking about their personal wealth portfolios.
The destruction was always about the money. They stole the money reserved for building reservoirs; stole the money for firefighters and training; stole the money for reducing fire risk; stole the money at improving the grid...
It was designed to be an epic disaster so that they can have all of the relief money given to them in a massive multi-hundred billion dollar slush fund that would be use to rebuild their generation wealth accumulation.
The mayor so quickly exposing the scam is a combination of hubris and stupidity.

They are property rich, and generally inherited or bought the properties at a lower valuation. Most of them lost insurance, which the state was supposed to guarantee after chasing the insurance companies out of the state, and even then the expectation is that the permitting will take years, and that by that time the Prop 13 grandfathering will expire since they had not rebuilt the house within required timelines
Also, new construction fees, processes and inspections pretty much put new construction out of the hands of anyone who isn't backed by a hedge fund.
Posted by: Kindltot at January 30, 2025 10:17 PM (D7oie)
This. The median price of a home in the Palisades is about $3.5 million. If you don't have insurance, you'll need at least $7 million in cash to pay the $1000/square foot of construction costs. At a 50%+ state, Federal and local combined tax rate, that's a LOT of income you need to earn to generate that kind of cash. Most people don't have that scratch.

My ancestors ethnically cleansed the land to secure a future for their progeny. They purchased human beings as property (their descendants are very fortunate to be here and not in Africa.)
Am I ashamed of it?
No. Same as it ever was. I’d like to think we’ve developed more civilized ways to resolve our disputes, like market capitalism. I hope and pray for the success of all peoples. “Be fruitful and multiply,” as it says.
But I don’t want unlimited immigration. It will never work.
America should be configured for the maximum benefit of its citizens. It is not magic dirt, nor an “idea.”
It is a people, a blood, a soil. America should benefit the people here, not foreigners, unless they are truly exceptional.

"stole the land"? How do these Leftists know that the tribes that the founders discovered weren't squatters? For example in the Ohio River Valley from 500BC to 100AD there was the Adena culture, a Pre-Columbian American culture that mimicked much of Roman culture, they were later overcome by the Hopewell culture that was followed by the Fort culture around 1000AD to about 1650AD when they were replaced by European frontier culture.
So who holds the original land title deed?

Bass and Newscum plan to arrange things so the burned-out property owners who cannot afford to rebuild will be forced to accept what the city offers for their land. Which will be far less than the land valuation the day before the fires began. Or get nothing when the city or county condemns their property. "We cannot allow stubborn hold-outs to stand in the way of plans to make that land a community resource for the benefit of all Los Angeles residents!"

1. Lose the man-bun.
2. Refrain from asking for directions to the nearest Starbucks.
3. Wear Cabelas brand gear, not Bass Pro Shop.
4. When in southern Idaho, never mention that the desert is brown.
5. When in northern Idaho, never say that the snow is "pretty."
6. When at any gathering of men, casually mention that you need a new chainsaw, but can't decide between a Stihl or a Husquvarna. The ending debate will ensure that you won't need to say anything else for at least an hour.

Ironically the left just pretends there was some sort of stasis in the Americas before the Europeans came. If the Iroquois owned most of the land when the Europeans got there...well it was theirs!
Of course it is all bull shit, as you point out while we don't have written history, because the American Indians were primitive, we can see waves of tribes enslaving, exterminating, and driving off other tribes. Hell the Iroquois practiced their own form of "reservation" structure for tribes they defeated.
And really, what kind of racist idiot would someone have to be to not see that the American Indians were people just like everyone else and engaged in the same wars and atrocities as you could see in say pre-bronze age Europe?

The Mexica (Aztecs) were quite recent immigrants (more accurately, an invading horde of murdering savages) to what is now called the Valley of Mexico.
We won't even get into the idiocy of pretending that modern Mexico, the successor to a Spanish colonial entity, has some sort of superior right to, say, California, than the successor of a British colonial entity, or that Spanish (a European language) is somehow inherently better than English (another European language).

Junior high and high school. D.C.suburbs, late 60s early 70s. Re:The idea that gym teachers were teaching character in any wsy: No, just no. They were in it for themselves. We only had modeled for us a world where middle-aged punks with limited education could lord over us and act big.
The world we later experienced followed that paradigm to some extent, but their monkeyshines were no preparation for that at all.
I know someone who launched a large board at the back of a gym teacher's head., outside of gym class. (There was construction going on at the high school.) I appreciate the effort. The board narrowly missed, the gym teacher was freaked out, and the board launcher remained anonymous.

That makes no sense. The Chiefs (including the Chairman) are NOT in the chain of command. They are staff positions. Imcidentally, this is why Milley may have his tail in the crack.. His instructions to the lower ranks to clear Trump’s orders with him was a violation of the rules on chain of command.
The CofC goes pres - secdef - Xcom (centcom, etc). Note that neither the various chiefs of staff, nor the service secretaries (Sec of Army, etc) pass orders or have any authority to generate orders.
The Charman of the Joint Chiefs' attitude is irrelevant.

You're right on track. My guess was that they would tie it all down with bureaucracy long enough to condemn properties when insurance companies reneged. And people had trouble getting the finances together, or even fighting the municipality in court over added environmental costs. This would allow the city to move in and condemn selective properties and tack a massive contractor bill onto the property tax. Then, crony developers will swoop in and grab the properties in which the city holds the lien due to being condemned, and everyone gets a kickback. It explains Newsom's little happy dance.

Psyllium husk will just slow things down more. You want a gentle laxative, like generic-brand Colace.
GLP-1s are good for glycemic control, just watch you digestive motility.

Posted by: Disinterested FDA Director at January 30, 2025 11:23 PM (lDb3Z)
I actually owned a Stihl, bought new, and I used it for a season cutting lines in the B.C. bush. It was a good saw, but became hard to start when it got older. Gave it to a friend. My go-to saw now, at home is a Homelite Super 2, one of those little plastic jobs you can use one-handed. I have several of them, in various iterations, so as to have spares on hand. I have a fair number of old saws that would be regarded as vintage, now, including an old IEL, built in 1950, that has a float carb, and a swivel on the drive gear so you can rotate the bar horizontal for falling, while keeping the engine upright.

Interesting, I’ve never used a Homelite. I grew up on a farm and we had a variety of chainsaw brands over the years. I always thought of a chainsaw as something you spent an hour trying to get running for 5 minutes of work.
And, of course, always in the bitter cold. My first Stihl worked great and I’ve been happy ever since. Start in a few pulls, no matter the weather. But my winters are mild by Alberta standards.
My go-to is an Ego 16” from Lowes. Total lightweight, but it does 80% of what I need. Anything less than 3” it goes right through. More and the hand-tightened chain comes loose.
Great for limbing. You can just use it a bit, toss it down while you load up the truck/trailer, pick it up again. I’d go through a lot of gas letting my saws idle before I got it.
If you only need one saw and need to cut more than some branches, get something gas-powered.

GLP-1 drugs can cause issues with gastric slowness. If it’s been 3 or more days, maybe consult your doctor. Especially if you’re new to it.

So... the castor oil would loosen you up, while the opium would bind you up.

Mason bees. Excellent pollinators - better than honeybees- not aggressive, stay close to their nest and become active long before other pollinators. I had a pear tree that bloomed way before the apple. Always got a lot of apples, but only 4 or 5 pears, sometimes none. Drilled holes in a block of wood mounted on the fence in the sun about 5 yards away. Put the Mason bees larvae into the holes in March. I got more pears than apples that year.

Immediate termination. Government assets are not her personal play toys to subvert legally binding operations and duties. If her "clarifications" are legit and department approved, then there are official, legal procedures to disclose district positions. She's obviously not following orders or is creating her own.
She is unsuited for police duty.

The Indians the settlers met first didn't have the ability to hold slaves. So the men and older boys were killed in battle, or tortured to death to make a good party. The captives tried to put on a good show of bravery. The rest were incorporated into the tribe as full members more or less.
They became more developed as Europeans introduced them to guns and other amenities.

My g g grandfather was a Union Artillery battery. Fought in the East and West. Battery commander got a medal of honor fighting off Jackson's attack at Chancellorsville so there's 1/6 chance he was on the one gun used to block the road. Got two batteries of Reb guns to retreat at Gettysburg before retiring in a delaying action when an extra Reb corps came in on the flank. Transferred to TN after that, some say that this unit blew CSA General Bishop Polk in half at Kennesaw. He was wounded there in the foot and stayed in TN.

I'm about to go nuts and maybe shoot the computer here. Editors are getting annoyingly "smart". Messing around writing a Fortran program using Intel's compiler and integrations with Visual Studio 2022.
I updated to the latest a while back and they added some sort of autocompletion smart editing that I just noticed. The damn thing is trying to enforce some style that wants language keywords all in lowercase. For Fortran, I got to where I like capitalizing the first letters of all keywords. I used to like all uppercase, as that's how it used to be done, but now I like that.
The damn editor changes it to all lowercase as I type, and it's enough to drive me batty.

Camel Case is much easier to read for the preferred long variable names. I hope your Fortran actually uses all of the name to tell them apart. One I used only used the first 6 letters and the rest was ignored. You could also do trickery that changed the value of a literal number, like 10 to something else.
CamelCaseLooksLikeThis = B + 27

In a lot of editors these days you can access editor config by right clicking on the window showing a file.
Another thing you can do is write the lines of code in a 'dumb' editor for a few lines, then paste it into the studio window.

As a whole not 'civilized'.
By are the bulk of the Americas were savages.
Some chunks 'barbarian' (Germans in days of ancient Rome).
A couple pockets nearing 'civilization'.
In those three big categories living the 'barbarian' life isn't too bad, other than medicine, which is very modern.

The latest Fortran standard (it's up to 2003, now I think) allows up to 63 characters for symbols, I think.
With all the name mangling for C++ shit, I think the limits on those is well over 1000 characters. In practice, that's getting ridiculous for linkers and all that. Symbols that big are ridiculous. But with all the "features" with overloading and other, believe it or not, the actual name generated can get ridiculously long.

I found the option to turn it off. It's a bit different, and is under a specific "Fortran" group for the editor options. Unfortunately, turning it off, turns off member suggestions for structures member as well, which feature I like.

that's annoying. You might just type like the editor wants, then do a copy paste to fix it in compilation. Depends on which war you want to fight.
I have that with brace indentation in most compilers - i dont like the normal options and many beautifiers don't include the first brace AND the final brace indented.

Pascal has more support for structure in the code than Fortran. You have to watch yourself in F as your code grows. I took a job coding for a group in college doing cosmic rays as they converted to Unix and C. One program I tried diagramming the flow and finally went to the post-doc to explain what the program did for a few minutes and started over with structure and converted it in a few part-time days. It was a program that reversed the response of a scintillator block of lucite when a high energy particle went thru back to the location and angle of a particle.

IF (condition) THEN Line 1; Line 2; ELSE (code) ENDIF
The second semi after line 2 is an error since the semi is a statement separator not a terminator. Since the compiler stopped trying after one error and we could do only a few runs per DAY on a card reading machine, this caused a ton of problems. We did 4 languages a semester, doing projects selected to be totally unsuited to the language we learned.
A good class, but hellish.

Vance looks pretty good and DeSantis is on the team even if not as rally centric as Trump. But keep doing the rallies so we can speak directly to the voters.
Trump can pull his successor over the line easily enough. We need to increase our majority in the GoP of MAGA so the average candidate is following us out of fear of the consequences.

There have been several formats for saving settings files over the years, some were just lists of key value pairs other more complex ones had a nested block structure so a setting key under EDIT was different than the same name under LANGUAGE or something, which helps if many people are working on the same program.

I think even in Carter's nonsense treaty we have responibility for defending the Canal. China is now running the canal and has large port facilities there so there's reason to clarify the situation so nobody sees an opportunity due to our neglect there.
The Chinese could probably be open to a deal just to keep the trade flowing and not open up a can of worms.

Modern Fortran is quite structured now. Fortran 90 and 95 standards added a lot of structured programming features. Any decent modern compiler will still support old Fortran 77 code, unless you tell it not to.
If you only knew the old F77, you would hardly recognize the latest Fortran. Fortran is still and will remain the lingua franca of scientific programming.

A scientific language and they can't even figure the version numbers right?
But nah. I never saw much in the language worth saving . If you are using an old library you can call them in C for sure or most other modern languages with little problem.
At some point you just need to change languages rather than try and morph them by stealth into another and only get 80 percent of the way there. Same for C and C++

I worked in the 90s on some of the last PDPs. Some telephone company kept DEC making new ones for their switching system code for almost a decade and finally DEC refused to make more at any price
Their successor project was a disaster and they hired consultants at double price to try and finish it using all the best techniques read from a trade magazine. Eventually the project failed and everyone was fired and the consultants came free for more work and the c company had to scramble to place all of them.
