His Name is My Name, Too! Bankruptcy Lawyer Mark Zuckerberg Sues Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg
An Indiana bankruptcy lawyer named Mark Zuckerberg has filed a lawsuit against the Meta CEO whose name he shares for repeatedly banning him on his social platforms. It’s not easy being Mark Zuckerberg. No, not the Facebook founder, but an Indiana bankruptcy lawyer whose life has been negatively affected by sharing the younger tech maven’s name. Not only does he get over 100 emails every day from people who think that they are writing to the Meta chief executive officer, but he can rarely make a reservation at a restaurant without getting hung up on because people mistake him for a prankster. But the thing that irritates him the most is getting banned on Facebook and Instagram despite investing tens of thousands of dollars in ads for the simple reason that his name is Mark Zuckerberg. *** “My life sometimes feels like the Michael Jordan ESPN commercial, where a regular person’s name causes constant mixups,” Mark Zuckerberg complained.Video segment at the link
There’s an old Babylonian/Biblical legal maxim that goes, “an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.” For Canadian Brent Chapman, his new maxim is “a tooth for an eye,” because he has become the first in his country ever to receive an osteo-odonto-keratoprosthesis. If your Latin is on point, you’ll realize that translates to a tooth-in-eye prosthetic—literally Chapman’s tooth has been surgically implanted into his eye to act as a lens fixture which has enabled him to see again.News video clip at the link

For her 80th birthday, Donna Morey got a gift she’ll never forget—thanks to the kindness of a 9-year-old boy she had never met. On September 10th, Morey was celebrating at a Phillies vs. Mets game with her family. Sitting near the third baseline, she had one wish: to finally bring home a foul ball after years of attending games. That chance came in the fifth inning when young Phillies fan Jameson Pennings caught his very first game ball. He proudly tossed it back and forth with his dad, inspecting the scuffs like a prized treasure. But before the night ended, Jameson decided someone else needed it more. Morey recalled how it happened: “I was really absolutely amazed because he overheard my daughter talk to the ball girl about next foul would she consider giving it to me for my birthday. All of a sudden, this boy says to his dad, ‘I want to give that lady my ball,’ and his father says, ‘Are you sure about this,’ and the little boy looked at the ball in his glove and says yeah. They got up from their seat, came right over to me and handed me the ball.”Good job, kiddo!

The Karen beyotch in Philly is disgusting. If she is a true baseball fan, she would know and abide by the bleacher bum unwritten, but always observed, rule: The ball belongs fair-and-square to the person who comes out of the scrum with it.
Self-entitled people are the worst you encounter. It doesn't matter if she's had a season ticket forever but never got a foul ball or homer ball before. I've been to a a lot of baseball games and a ball never came within 50 feet of me. No big deal to me never seeing one I might be able to snag.

The tech noticed a single pole switch inside the cabinet with a single wire connected to it. It was labeled “magic” and “more magic”. It was in the “more magic” position.
Since a single wire going to a switch can’t possibly do anything, he promptly snipped it out with his wire cutters. The computer promptly crashed. (He never did figure out what it was, but said he left the switch in the “more magic” position).

Helluva lot better life than I have lived. Been around academics and before that politicians with stints in other fields like US military, etc.
You are kind, generous, self effacing, and do a lot for the animals you tend. Display all the traits of a true Christian. Which is the exact antithesis of many of my former academic colleagues and certainly almost all politicians I have dealt with over the years.
The dogs that you raise are far better furry people than many actual ones when it comes down to it.

They'd get a commission to paint some rich worthy, and knowing how customers always want to stick their oar in, they'll deliberately paint one ear just a bit too big. Predictably, the sitter will come and peer critically at the painting and say, "You know, this is really fine -- but that ear, it's a bit too big."
"What a fine eye you have!" (Sitter swells with satisfaction)... "I'll repaint that right away!"

My father had reason to employ a former union plant electrician (Chrysler) that no longer had a plant to work at.
He and a buddy wired up a big red button switch with the word ON--no off button. His buddy did plumbing and rigged up a shower surprise for the person dumb enough to push the button. They added a sign that said in really big letters--Do NOT Push the Button.
Then these two dudes had their own private Candid Camera show as executive suits, workers, visitors, demonstrated monkey curiousity about the button and inevitably some would look around carefully and then push the button and get thoroughly hosed down. Repeat as needed. Probably tells you something about the bad years in Chrysler for the type of people being hired in the bad old years at Chrysler aka the 1970's.

Anyway, people would rig up some clever hacks to try and prevent it. One old guy on one of the auto forums said he replaced the ignition coil wire with a length of black rubber hose. Looked perfect. Went on vacation for a couple weeks. Forgot all about his DIY anti-theft device.
Goes to start his truck, and it cranks right up! Turns out black rubber is made with carbon - and is electrically conductive. So much for that idea.
A weird glitch or intermittent in my Nissan I once owned, every now and then, not very often, it would refuse to start unless the shift lever was pushed forward, just once.
I came out to my car one morning, and someone had tried to steal it overnight, the steering column was half disassembled and the rest of it. They couldn’t get it to start!
Yep -they didn’t tap the shift lever forward just once, one in a million.

Yep, the Erf got a smiting about 12,800 years ago. The last glacial maximum peaked a few thousands years before, but that big ice sheet was still covering most of Canada then.
Many species of megafauna roamed what is now the US then. Wolly mammoths, wolly rhinos, elephants, saber-tooth cats, even giant beavers and giant sloths. Yep, beavers the size of bears. Native horses as well. A human culture of sorts, dubbed the Clovis culture was here as well. Then, boom, it was all wiped out. Mass extinctions of 60% of the megafauna species.
The climate was slowly warming, with ice sheets slowly retreating. Something big happened in a geological instant. Massive fires (the black mat layer). The warming trend was interrupted for about 1000 years. Global temp dropped as much 18F. And then, boom, the ice sheets were largely going, sea levels rose, and here we are in the modern epoch, dubbed the Holocene.

Turns out there is good evidence (still a lot of speculation, but it's pretty plausible) that Comet Encke and the Taurid meteor stream are the remnants of this YD comet. The Tunguska event itself was probably a big piece from the Taurid stream.
Anyway, the big picture goes like this. There was a big comet, about ~100 km/60 mi diameter was whipping around Sol ever so often. One fateful perihelion, it got too close to the Sun, or perhaps something else, and broke up into a bunch of pieces. On a fateful day some 12,800 years ago, the Erf slammed right into that debris trail.
We took a shotgun blast of many large pieces of low density dirty snowball/snowy dirtball impactors. The result was a bunch of Tsar Bomba airbursts all over North America. We got nuked from orbit so to speak.

On guitars with 2 pickups the selector switch has 3 positions. one for the bridge pickup, usually labeled treble, one for the neck pickup, labeled rhythm, and the middle position which turns both pickups on. Totally ass backwards in metal land, because all rhythms are done with the bridge pickup along with most leads. Shred leads use the neck pickup, and the middle position is pretty much never used. As a result, we call the positions Blowtorch, Shred, and Neutral. Such assholes we are, lol.

Back in the '80's, when Toyotas were being stolen all over the place, a friend of mine rigged his family's Toyotas with a switch behind the ashtray. Pull out the ashtray just a tad, and the crank circuit would be interrupted. So when he parked, he'd pull the ashtray out may half an inch. Thieves often look in the ashtray to see if a spare key is stashed there, so they'd pull it out all the way, find nothing, and proceed to defeat the ignition lock. And then the car would not start.

A great deal of success is how much the dogs love it. Lacey had her faults, but when she went into the ring it was, "Here I am! Adore me." Delilah was the same way.
On the other hand, Alan was a magnificent stallion hound who won group placements from the classes. Judges loved him. But he told us he didn't want a show career and we respected his wishes.

And it could've been one event lasting hours, Erf plowing through the shotgun blast of debris, or it could've been stretched out over several orbital periods of Erf and the comet fragments. IOW, big impacts every so many months over a few years.
Imagine a few thousand, maybe even 10 thousand Tsar Bombas being detonated all over North America.

IIRC, Africa was the best place to be during the YD event. It suffered the least megafauna extinctions, IIRC.
The Sahara was quite humid and green during this time. In fact, that humid period didn't end until maybe 5000 years ago. It was a slow decline.
But during that YD event, the Sahara was lush, wet and green.

Drove the PNDLR this evening, a '64 Studebaker Daytona convertible. Ran just fine, too.
Well, there might be suitable indicator windows in some Avanti II's from the '80's but they won't be found in junkyards. It will be a pretty easy piece to make. Cut a strip of clear plastic. Frost it. Install in bezel. Hook shifter up to transmission. Hook up the lamp that move with the lever. With the lever in "park" stick a cutout "P" to the plastic. Ditto for the other positions. Spray the plastic with black paint. Peel off the stickers. Done.

This is not a Suburban. 1963 Avanti, bubba-built with a TH350 transmission, that leaks like a sieve. Replacing with a 700R4 (rebuilt) transmission, and fixing a few other fuckups as I go. A fun project.

My favorite Brit cop moment is a video I saw a couple years ago of some weedy drugged out of his mind British guy being arrested by a couple of portly Bobettes. At first he had no idea what they are doing, because he's stoned, and they still couldn't get him handcuffed.
Then he realized what's going on and he first pushed one, then the other cop away. He started, very, very slowly jogging away but both Bobettes were already huffing and puffing and started slow walking after him as he got away into the distance.
I don't know what that guy did, but TBH I think he earned escaping the short, tubby arm of the law in this case.

Woot! A T-bucket! Very cool; a go-kart for grown-ups. Never owned one, but they are a fun toy, to be sure.
The TH350 I just took out of the Avanti shifted and ran fine; it just has a huge converter drain-back problem. Normally caused by bad front seal and/or worn front pump bushing, that allows air to enter the torques converter, and fluid to drain from it into the transmission pan, making it overflow onto the floor. I have the parts to fix it, then that transmission goes into a 1983 El Camino that has a truly busted TH350 in it.

It took a long time before the K-T boundary (they call it something else now, I forget) dinosaur-killing impact was accepted. They had to find the actual crater before it was finally accepted.
One of the explanations for the megafauna extinction was human overhunting, which is just ridiculous. The Clovis people killed off *all* of those species? And then just disappeared themselves somewhere?

When I was taking a Japanese history course, I learned about the Japanese version of the flood. A quick search:
"Izanagi and Izanami are often regarded as the parents of the Japanese islands and many deities. Their significance extends beyond mere creation; their actions set in motion the events that led to the Great Flood."
When I heard about it, I thought, 'Hmm, that's interesting.' Then I've read about other cultures and their Great Flood stories. Plus Atlantis.

Huge Sloths too. Acient Lake Lahonton. Evidence of it is visible throughout the great basin. Pyramid Lake is the last remnent of it. A 30 million year old fish species still inhabit that lake. The Cui-ui. Unfortunately the sister lake Winnemucca has dried up (which Pyramid never has) due to a water project in the 30's. So that fish lost a distinct sometimes isolated branch.

Facebook group for breastfeeding women, with over 57,000 members, has banned ‘gendered language’.
Posts that begin “hey ladies” or “hey mamas” will be immediately deleted.
This is the continued erasure of the concept of womanhood and motherhood.

I didn't think the crazies would consider "mamas" a gendered word. Men and women can both be mothers in bizarro world, too, right?

The whole purpose is to terrify people into conforming. One has to make examples out of some people in order to pull that off.
It's not even about what the nominal purpose is. It's just an excuse to make people OBEY. They like bullying people. Hurting them. Destroying their lives. Killing them, if they can get away with it.

He was pushing retirement age, so there's a pretty good chance he had the name before the character was even invented.
(just checked... the first Bond novel was published in '53, so yeah, he definitely had the name first).

A K-T level event (trillions of tons of TNT) would be all she wrote for homo sapiens sapiens (man the wise, the really wise -- HAH!)
A YD event would be orders of magnitude less. We'd get a global "impact winter", agriculture devastation, etc, etc. We'd be knocked back to the stone age.

I'm not so sure about that. The survivors might be able to use their technology to enhance the liveability of those regions not totally devastated. In the immediate aftermath? Use airplanes and sat reconnaissance to locate parts of the planet still able to support agriculture. Move there en masse, and take over.

So a train came in, we got on and sat near each other and talked. Nice guy. Funny. People around us were pointing and whispering.
I never talked about Star Trek or anything like that, just a normal conversation. Then we got to 50th, and I said to get off here and wait for that D and he said 'as in dog train'. As he got up to get off the train, he turned to me and said, 'Keep on Trekkin'! Those remaining in the car were now wondering who I was, was I famous?

You get heap big EMP from these huge airbursts too. Big time, turns out, and I wasn't even thinking about that. That would fry satellites, most likely. Ground electronics and power systems would be devastated.
And then, continent wide wildfires. And flooding, due to possible tsunamis. If you got big airbursts over the remaining ice sheets, like Greenland, you'd get meltwater pulses and ice calving and all that.
If it were global, no continent was spared, you'd have modern infrastructure collapse. Now, if there were pockets of stuff that remained intact, you'd might have remnant "hubs" that might be able to keep some tech going.

That reminds of me of a fascinating theory. You know some of that crazy ancient cave art? Weird drawings, like whoever drew that was on an acid trip? There is a theory that they were just recording what they actually saw. In the sky.
A super Carrington event, orders of magnitude greater, would produce all sorts of plasma patterns in the sky, and there was some guy I saw showing how some of the cave drawings look very similar to some of the discharges you'd expect to see.
You could get similar stuff with the EMP from huge airbursts. It would be short-lived, but you'd get some significant brief "aurora" like stuff going on.

JQ, I had another "Oh shyte" moment when I found out I will have to actively KILL my lawn to make it go away. It's half-dead and always dry anyway so I want to replace it with succulents or clover, but it's going to be a Project to kill the grass under a tarp and then root it up with a machine. If you were out here in California, I'd pay you to do it!

Wow, there's a *project*! Don't know that I'd be physically up to that-- I can barely keep up with things here. But thank you very much for the offer!
Don't use a tarp. Go get some CLEAR plastic. HDepot sells the landscape-grade Visqueen or similar. Works like a greenhouse that you don't vent--cooks the grass and weeds, roots & all. Weight it down good and let the Sun do the work. Then rototill, level, smooth the soil. Replant.
Does Cali allow clover? Might be classified as a weed there?
I'd love to convert my whole yard to Dutch Clover. Lots of beekeepers in this area, and I'm not allergic.

Oh boy, German state TV compares Charlie Kirk to Hitler. You see, Robinson was like Stauffenberg, but successful. They actually went there all the way.
Charlie Kirk was "baby Hitler". And Robinson was the hero who killed baby Hitler.
