Engineer’s Disease, also known as Engineer’s Syndrome, is a colloquial term used in engineering and related technical circles to describe the tendency of individuals with an engineering mindset to believe that their expertise in technical or systems-based problem-solving grants them competence and understanding in unrelated fields.
The term has also been applied to specific individuals and cases, such as Sam Bankman-Fried, whose approach to complex societal and economic problems was seen as emblematic of this syndrome. Posted by: olddog in mo at October 23, 2025 05:14 AM (hoCmQ) 36

ON the AI front:
I've been using Grok for over a year. Asside from using it as a reference tool , I've been trying to get a handle on it's capabilities. I'm not a "coder" in the traditional sense and my academic background is in physics. So I decided to try to see how well it could handle graduate level physics problems. Obscure one. Hard ones. One's that I had experience with. I took a couple of problems from Goldstein's "Classical Mechanics" and it actually solved them. It first set up the problem mathematically resolving the vectors and their interactions. Then it did a search to see if it could find any references to the problem as it was now stated in general mathematical terms. I purposely chose obscure problems and it wasn't able to find any references in the searches it did. Then it proceeded with a pretty straight forward brute force solution that gave the proper equations of motion. After it had done that, I told Grok where the problems were from. It then found where the problems were in the book and ,get this, solved them using the methods covered in the specific chapter the problems were from. And it solved them correctly. Graduate Physics problems. Yikes! Posted by: pawn at October 23, 2025 05:25 AM (tqkKb) 45

Posted by: pawn The Beelink Me Mini is pretty good (at least the reviews are good; mine is still in its box). It only takes SSDs, so not good for huge amounts of storage, but small, quiet, fast, and cheap. It comes with Windows pre-installed, so you'd probably want to scrub that and install your preferred flavour of Linux, or maybe something task-specific like TrueNAS CE.

"It comes with Windows pre-installed, so you'd probably want to scrub that and install your preferred flavour of Linux, or maybe something task-specific like TrueNAS CE."
I'm not really much of a coder or computer person, just use the applications as tools, so anything beyond Windows will involve a learning cure. I'm already on a steep learning curve in advanced image processing so I would prefer a Windows box even though I know it probably is not the best thing to use.

This is a note from Proverbs 11:9 from my l Life Application Bible:
Words can be used as weapons to destroy people or as tools to heal and build them up. Sadly, many people receive more destructive comments than comments that heal and edify. You can treat every person you meet today as either a demolition site or a construction opportunity. Your words will make a difference. Will they be weapons for destruction or tools for construction?. What you say to others matters more than you can imagine. I apologize for ways I have not used constructive words on here.

I mentioned this on a thread yesterday: SS sent me a letter to explain the mysterious one-time payment I got earlier this month. Seems they miscalculated my benefits as of Jan. '25, not taking my 2024 earnings into account. They'd been *underpaying* me. This was what I was owed up through this point; and then I'll see another $29 each month from now on.
I gotta say, SS may be slow, but they do what they need to do without me prompting them (or even knowing I should prompt them). Good thing. It's horrible to spend an hour on hold waiting to talk to one of their staffers -- who, to be fair, are pretty helpful once you get one on the line. I know; I've done it.

Saw a video from Emily Baker concerning the latest shenanigans in the Karen Read trial. Apparently the Feds got Troopah Proctor's cell phone extraction when he went before the grand jury a while back. In this trial, his lawyer told the court that Proctor got a new phone, has auto delete every thirty days, so there is nothing really to submit for discovery. The Feds delivered the old phone data, and there are HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of text/chat messages going back to 2013. This data will probably also affect old cases he was involved with.
Ooopsie! The prosecution needs more time to sort through them This happened Friday. On Saturday, Proctor withdrew his appeal to get beck on the force. On Monday, Proctor's lawyer noped out and asked to withdraw as his lawyer. LMFAO. Posted by: Deplorable Ian Galt at October 23, 2025 05:55 AM (HFfF4) 62

"first full time job was creating a database of buildings and their vacancies on a PC database called Paradox" I used Paradox to create a program to store and retrieve birth certificates for the county. Birth certs were scanned in and the data (DOB, Name, location, etc) were entered by clerks. They could find a birth certificate and print it to make a certified copy. I eventually sold the the program to a couple of other counties that got grants to implement it. I moved on though and never pursued it further. I don't really like programming anymore.

Posted by: fd at October 23, 2025 07:03 AM (vFG9F) Wednesday Overnight Open Thread - October 22, 2025 [TRex]![]() Good evening Horde. The time has come for mid-week shenanigans of the overnight variety. Welcome to the Wednesday night ONT which means another random assortment of interweb debris. Pull up a chair and sit a spell. Be nice to your fellow commenters and AoS contributors.![]() ![]() ![]() The Department of Army today announced the launch of the Janus Program, a next-generation nuclear power program that will deliver resilient, secure, and assured energy to support national defense installations and critical missions. Executive Order 14299, "Deploying Advanced Nuclear Reactor Technologies for National Security," directs the Department of War to commence operation of an Army-regulated nuclear reactor at a domestic military installation no later than September 30, 2028. The program will build commercial microreactors through a nimble, milestone-based contracting model in partnership with the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU), accelerating delivery of advanced energy solutions to the warfighter. This initiative represents a substantial investment in military and national energy dominance and will help chart the course for widespread deployment of Microreactor Power Plants. The program will field nuclear microreactors capable of operating independently of the civilian power grid, ensuring uninterrupted power for forces in any environment through collaboration with the Department of Energy (DOE). By leveraging its nuclear regulatory authorities in partnership with the DOE, the Army will move forward with microreactors that are safe, resilient, and adaptable. ![]() The former satellite tracking facility for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in Rosman, North Carolina, is now up for sale, according to a listing posted on NAI Piedmont Triad. The Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute (PARI) is a 192-acre site, built in 1963, that features more than 30 buildings, including a welcome center, library, exhibits, dorms and staff housing, and dining facilities. The site is selling for $30 million.From the listing: Nestled in North Carolina's Blue Ridge Mountains, Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute (PARI) offers a rare, ready-made gateway to the stars. This scientific landmark is ready for next-gen use, from AI research and data archiving to aerospace communications, STEM education, and even quantum computing. Originally developed by NASA in the 1960s as part of the space race, this 192-acre campus helped capture the first images of Earth from space, and later, was used by the NSA during the Cold War as a key satellite communications hub. Today, the site is an International Dark Sky Park for public education, surrounded by over a half-million acres of protected national forest, ideal for astronomical observation and scientific research. But it's not just that past that makes PARI extraordinary, it's the future. Nearly a quarter-billion dollars of investment has primed PARI's infrastructure to nurture the future's innovators, technological breakthroughs, and connections to the stars. Located in an electromagnetically quiet zone, one of only about 100 in the world, PARI is decidedly positioned to leverage its institution-grade elements in an environment where few other sites can. Some of the scientific and technological highlights include two NASA-built dishes, two radio telescopes, Solar and Jupiter radio arrays, and an Eight-Meter Transient Array. Of the more than 25 optical telescopes, PARI features a Coronado Solarmax 40, Polaris 12-inch Cassegrain, SPACE 10-inch Cassegrain, and a 16-inch DFM Research Grade Telescope with a 7-inch Questar Finder Scope.NC MoMe location? ![]() An ambitious real estate consortium known as California Forever has unveiled its detailed 40-year master plan to build a vast new community from scratch on former farmland northeast of San Francisco. California Forever CEO Jan Sramek touted the plan as a key step in creating "the next great American city," which the group envisions as the eventual home of 400,000 people living in "affordable homes in safe, walkable neighborhoods." The plan filed on Tuesday reveals that California Forever now plans to build the master-planned community as an extension of nearby Suisun City, a community of 30,000 that stands to dramatically expand its tax base by annexing the new development. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Written correspondence can be sent to moronhobbies at protonmail dot com.

By the map, that planned wonderful city in CA isn't "northeast of San Francisco" except in the most technical sense.
It's closer to Suckatomato both in crow miles and especially in driving miles. The climate there is not going to be the coastal climate of the SF Bay, but rather the "cook an egg on the sidewalk in the summer" and "feel your way through the Tule fog in the winter" climate of the Central Valley. "NE of SF" is bait and switch. Posted by: buddhaha at October 22, 2025 10:09 PM (z4gd/) 37

The idea generally, the AEC tested all kinds of power plant ideas. Camp Century was another one, constructing a “set it and forget it” nuclear reactor is tougher than it appears. They wanted something requiring minimal oversight and easy modular construction, portability etc etc. Posted by: Common Tater at October 22, 2025 10:16 PM (C8TKZ) 57

56 This is well trod ground. Read up on the SL-1 reactor incident in Idaho in 1961. An Army private yanked a 100 pound control rod completely out and the steam explosion blew up the whole thing instantly, killing himself and two others. He was impaled on the ceiling by the control rod.
Posted by: Common Tater at October 22, 2025 10:16 PM *** Little known fact: One of the three deceased is buried in Arlington National Cemetery. He is the only one that the Army has no control over. His remains may only be disturbed by permission of the NRC because he is considered contaminated. Posted by: TRex - trivial pursuit dino at October 22, 2025 10:20 PM (IQ6Gq) 74

haven't we had microreactors for decades now in use for extremely remote listening stations and other spooky facilities where they officially 'aren't'?
Posted by: Tonypete ----- I'm not privy to military secrets, but I don't think so. What we have had is a thermoelectric generator that runs off the heat off some nuclear material, I think one of the Plutonium isotopes. That Coleman cooler that you plug into the cig lighter is a thermoelectric cooler. It runs by pushing a current through the device, the part inside gets cool, while the part outside the insulated portion (but still inside the external box) get hot. A fan cools that hot part and blows in into your car. Hey, no free lunch. A thermoelectric generator is the same thing, except that you heat the one part while keeping the other part cool and, viola'! A current flows. A microreactor is going to a lot more complicated device, with different nuclear material that will be controlled to.increase and decrease the reaction to generate a lot more heat - enough to boil water and run a steam turbine. The "micro" part refers to."smaller than a large industrial campus", probably not the size of a refrigerator like the thermoelectric. Posted by: buddhaha at October 22, 2025 10:28 PM (z4gd/) 103

Janus Program, a next-generation nuclear power program that will deliver resilient, secure, and assured energy for you and your neighborhood.
The program will enable real estate developers to install nuclear microreactors capable of operating independently of the incompetently managed, not so ready, power grid, ensuring uninterrupted power for your neighborhood. In co-operation with nuclear regulatory authorities and in partnership with the DOE, real estate developers will move forward with microreactors that are safe, resilient, and adaptable. Never again will your HVAC shut down when it’s eighteen degrees and everyone’s heat is turned up high. Never again will the power fail when it’s one hundred and eleven and your A/C is pulling a full load. Say good bye to the State Kilowatt monopoly and turn it up.

I'm on San Carlos AZ Apache (Geronimo) Irrigation district Electric. Worst power ever. 56 times out over two hours this year. I bypassed the nuclear mini power and went with a 48KW Generator that will run the whole house, pool heater, shop and underground bunker. Have enough propane to run full throttle for 4 weeks. Much cheaper than Nuclear.

By the map, that planned wonderful city in CA isn't "northeast of San Francisco" except in the most technical sense.
It's closer to Suckatomato both in crow miles and especially in driving miles. The climate there is not going to be the coastal climate of the SF Bay, but rather the "cook an egg on the sidewalk in the summer" and "feel your way through the Tule fog in the winter" climate of the Central Valley. "NE of SF" is bait and switch.

The whole 155mm shell pre-mature burst over I-5 thing sounds preposterous to me.
Any red-legs about who can talk from experience about the technical details here? As noted by Semi-Literate Thug, a bursting 155mm shell - in broad daylight, and at fairly low altitude (just starting its arc after being fired about 1/4 mile away, I think) would be seen/heard by hundreds of witnesses. Saw a photo of the chunk of metal that fell on a CHP cruiser. About the size of a small torch lighter. And that was the only debris reported/claimed to have fallen. And as noted by the initial USMC statement, everything that day was done according to long-established safety protocols. Posted by: rhomboid at October 22, 2025 10:56 PM (U/Byj) 177

Inflatable Christmas Minotaurs for the Nativity Display?
Posted by: Count de Monet at October 22, 2025 11:03 PM (wVcYX) 190
I remember seeing cool full-on amphibious exercises at Pendleton while riding north in the family car as a kid. One time I asked dad to pull over (as many were doing) to watch - there were armored vehicles swarming all over the beach-side of I-5, very close, and guys hanging on lines from Hueys crossing over the freeway. Dad said no. But I still got a great look.
This area is probably one of the only ones left in America where one can encounter watch military operations without leaving a developed area. I-5 along Pendleton has long been a fun drive when the Marines are active. Miramar is always active and low-flying screeching F-18s/-35s are commonplace all around the area - my favorite cigar shop has a good view/earful of them when they're circling doing touch-n-gos. And if you're timing is right, on the third hole at Coronado public golf course (a beautiful and ridiculously cheap course), as you walk up to approach your second shot, just yards away, in the water, SEAL instructors in kayaks with megaphones will be yelling at BUDS sailors flipping/righting their small rafts in a team-work exercise. Always fun to explain to the incredulous out of towners. Posted by: rhomboid at October 22, 2025 11:03 PM (U/Byj) 191

Blonde Morticia, oh yes, MCRD, landing or taking off (right side of airplane). Take-offs usually even better, when they're on the obstacle course or climbing the ropes. Ooorah.
Landing, always get left side. The fleet at 32nd Street and the carriers at North Island, plus downtown (shockingly close for newbies). Most "attention-intensive" landing in the US according to airline pilots. Unfortunately they've stopped, but the Marines used to shoot Ma deuces on their east range (formerly Camp Elliott, WWII mortar training base), and if the weather was right, I could hear the pleasing metallic chink-a-chink-a-chink of the 50 cal on my back porch. 15 years ago or so, there was a non-binding local proposition on the ballot asking the USMC to give up Miramar to the city for a new airport. It was trounced on election day. One of the last good election results in this area, and reassuring. A good amount of default normal pro-military sentiment - somehow - survives here.

Genius! Lets build another 400K city, that does not have any industry to support itself.
Once upon a time, cities were essentially aggregations of labor... whatever the city built, it housed the labor needed. From Detroit and Cars, to Los A with Trains and Aircraft and movies... to New York banking and business... hell, Chicago was once a YUGE slaughter plant. Now, most cities don't produce enough real products to support the drain on the economy its population creates. Look at the Bay Area... built around shipping, but now the vast majority of labor has nothing to do with it. Now most cities are just Yuge Human Storage facilities... with most of the population just supporting the rest of the population. So yeah! Lets take productive FARMLAND, where shit is actually produced, and created a city with no industry! GENIUS! Posted by: Romeo13 at October 22, 2025 11:35 PM (mP0Kj) 232

Sympathy, TiFW. I had an industrial accident and got debris in my eyes. In '88, I had a procedure to clean up scar tissue under my right eyelid. It took three shots of lidocaine to get numbed.
In '98, I had the left eye done. I told the doc about the previous and she said that she would use pricocaine. So, shot then procedure and then walk up to the front to write a check. By this time, the injection was wearing off. Just under an hour since the stick. Normal time for pricocaine is 4 to 6 hours. Posted by: clarence at October 22, 2025 11:36 PM (SWsf/) 234

128 After Rickover got his nuclear submarines, the Air Force decided what they really needed was a nuclear powered bomber, that could stay in the air for months at a time. Really.
Contracts were let, and testing proceeded on nuclear powered jet engines. Turns out lightweight aircraft made of thin aluminium and such, and heavy power plants, shielding, don’t really mix very well. Nothing was ever built that could fly, and JFK deleted the program soon after inauguration. Not to mention the potential huge disaster of an aircraft with a functioning nuclear reactor crashing into a populated area. And military planes used to crash a lot back then, especially cutting edge ones. Posted by: Anonymous this time at October 23, 2025 12:58 AM (3/XaG) 269

For those of you paying attention, Trump signed an emergency declaration for Western AK today to the tune of $25M. All the villages wiped out in the typhoon will receive aid. The issue is that winter is closing in, and not much can be done to rebuild the villages before it is impossible. Whole houses floated away, everything is covered in mud, there's not infrastructure or heavy equipment out there to fix thing.... etc.
Meanwhile, AK folks have rallied to provide shelter, clothing and food. The NG has airlifted everyone they could find down to Anchorage, and emergency shelter is giving way to individual housing solutions. Kids have been enrolled in Anchorage schools, families are being fed, people have donated Native food items (muktuk, seal oil, caribou meat, etc.) and everyone has winter gear in hand.

Just a cat feeling up a dog. Second base. Canine commando crawl. Dog wants to play ball-ball. Poor dog is never gonna get him to throw that ball. Senior dog still loves at a second-grade level. Owl photobomb. Cats sleep like wacked-out mobsters in old-timey crime scene photos. I have experienced this particular hell. Dog is A+++ at hunting and catching raindrops. He pushed this cat too far. The only AI assistant I would trust with this blog. Pig knows his destiny. Knocking off time.

Taxpayer-Funded Schools Can’t Prohibit Prayer And Promote Witchcraft
The Federalist When a public high school in Orange County, Florida, aired a weekly “Witchy Wednesday” religious video series on the schoolwide TV system, led by students and featuring detailed instructions on casting spells and performing rituals, including soul cleansing and moon worship, many parents were stunned. The school canceled the series after public outcry and intervention from Liberty Counsel, in which the legal group asked for equal time for Christian instruction...

First Lady and I got married on Kawaii. We went on a snorkeling trip that week. She'd never snorkled and learned she had a stronger leg than the other by swimming in circles. When advised we needed to return to the boat, I had to go get her again as she paddled away. Once getting her, I looked at the boat and they were waving frantically.
I figured we were about to be shark food. I looked left and saw a school of dolphin heading right for us. Not knowing what to do, we just froze. The got within 40 ft or so, went dow 40, went past 40 and came right back up, hoping along the way. I took a picture with the disposable underwater camera, but you can't really see anything but dark blue. Posted by: Sponge - F*ck Cancer at October 22, 2025 07:42 PM (Zz0t1) 31

I was once swimming at Kitty Hawk and usually swim out parallel to the fishing pier about 200 feet away from it to see if anybody is catching anything. (I always have a rod in the car). I then saw about 50 dolphin coming at me at very high speed. Couldn't go left or right, they were spread too wide. Decided to kinda ball up and hope for the best.
The lead dolphin was huge and I looked him right in the eye. His eye was more than 6"diameter. He must have given a signal, as all the dolphins dove under me, and resurfaced maybe 200' past me. A relief. I've also been in the center of a bluefish feeding frenzy, that was fun. Posted by: Bow-legged Women, Too at October 22, 2025 08:08 PM (oftw2) 59

As is well known, during the period covered by the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact, communist organizations declared a truce against their Fascist opponents. It has recently been discovered that the Popular Front organization, known as Penguin Facts, established an unofficial relationship with the nazi-controlled German-American Bund at this time.

They'll never hit you unless they wanted to for some reason. We see them a lot when we are fishing here. At first it kind of freaks you out how close they swim to the boat even when you're moving at a pretty good clip. But they never get hit. Good sonar.

Just saw some good news on X. As you all know Jodi Ernst is leaving the Senate in 2026, meaning Iowa will have an open seat. Jackie Norris, Moochelle’s former chief of staff, was considered a front runner because she had a lot of money behind her.
Jackie Norris just dropped out of the race, because she was the one responsible for hiring the illegal alien School Superintendent from Guatemala in Des Moines. No way to get over that one. Representative Ashley Hinson is running as a republican to succeed Ernst, and I admit I don’t know much about her yet. Posted by: Tom Servo at October 22, 2025 08:48 PM (WtEb/) 108

A conviction of Comey would be nice, but not really important in the grand scheme of things. He’s finished, he’ll never hold another job in government again and neither will his daughter or son in law.
What IS important, and which continues every day, is firing all the traitorous deadweight in the ED of Va (supposedly 2/3 of all Fed attorneys there fired by now) and getting rid of the even more traitorous and bloated 3 and 4 Star DEI pushers in the Pentagon.

People are kind of treating the Mamdani situation liked NYC is about to become Sodom and Gammorah 3.0. Posted by: Aetius451AD work phone =============== Or an echoing shell of itself after everyone flees. But it's HARD for people in the middle of their careers, or who own small businesses, or who live paycheck to paycheck, or who have families -- people who can't commute from Connecticut is the idea -- to relocate to a whole other part of the country and start all over in their 30s or 40s. If NYC has a middle class backbone, I don't see how it breaks; how would those people leave, where would they go? The rich are always rich enough to pay more taxes and higher prices for 5-star dinners and to add another security guard. The poor will always be subsidized.

To sell to the public, you need to promise that you're going to deliver "the real insider story" to the public. Kamala Harris pretended she was going to deliver the real insider story, and then delivered nothing but the usual spin she offers for free. Latrine John-Pissoir's book is titled, Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House. The problem is that this title is clearly fabricated by the publisher to sell books and does not reflect the actual content of the book. Because Latrine John-Pissoir's " look inside" is the same look she offered us from the podium day after day after day: behind the scenes, Joe Biden was forming human pyramids with Bulgarian acrobats and solving three-dimensional matrices in his mind. People -- even identity-politics-besotted woke leftists -- aren't going to pay for the same spin that they already had a bellyfull of for free, so the publisher subtitled the book "A Look Inside a Broken White House." Suggesting we're going to read about the Biden White House being broken, from an insider's perspective. Fooled you! The only thing that's broken about the Biden White House is the public's mistaken impression of Joe Biden, and the Democrats' betrayal of Biden.
"With all due respect to my predecessor, she's one of the main culprits of the greatest coverups and scandals in American history. She took the podium every day and lied to the press about the incompetence of her boss." "The Trump White House is the most accessible and transparent White House ever."And if you can't get enough of crackhead hooker-addict gun felon Hunter Biden whining about the betrayal of his corrupt grifter father, I've got you covered. Hunter Biden claims he was so enraged watching Barack Obama lead his father, then-President Joe Biden, off the stage at a Hollywood fundraiser last year that he nearly cursed out the former president. In an excerpt of journalist Jonathan Karl's forthcoming book, "Retribution: Donald Trump and the Campaign that Changed America," obtained by Axios Tuesday, the former first son recalled the anger he felt toward Obama, who grabbed Joe by the wrist and tugged him in the direction of the curtains after he froze for a full 10 seconds at the star-studded campaign fundraiser. "I almost jumped up on the stage and said, 'Don't ever f--king do that to the president of the United States again -- ever," Hunter told Karl, during an interview months after the awkward moment.He's also grousing about Kamala Harris not showing loyalty to his corrupt father. First he admits that Kamala Harris was chosen by Biden because Biden believes that "African American women are the heart and soul of the Democrat Party, and the conscience of the Democrat Party." Then he realizes he just said she was picked entirely for racial/gender reasons, and adds that she was "perfectly qualified" to be president. Then he again suggests that she wasn't qualified to be president by stressing that Biden picked her out of his assumption that she would be loyal, which he says she isn't, so what was her qualification, exactly, beyond being (half) black and female?
Former first son Hunter Biden is claiming that his father only pardoned him because Donald Trump reclaimed the presidency in November 2024 -- and "would not have" done so under "normal circumstances" while the appeals process played out. "Donald Trump went and changed everything," Hunter said in an interview released Monday on journalist Tommy Christopher's Substack platform. "And I don't think that I need to make much of an argument about why it changed everything."Can you make any argument? The 55-year-old -- who pleaded guilty last year to evading $1.4 million in back taxes to the IRS and was convicted on felony gun charges -- declined to mention that he had apparently been present for discussions on pardons during Joe Biden's final months in the White House. "I've said this before," Hunter went on. "My dad would not have pardoned me if President Trump had not won, and the reason that he would not have pardoned me is because I was certain that in a normal circumstance of the appeals [I would have won]."Again: Can you make any argument for why this was "the right thing to do?"

omg ace thanks for this. I've been watching her interviews with FRIENDLIES and they're disasters. Every question -- from "What color would you say your shoes are?" to "Why didn't you stand up to that harridan Jill?" -- gets the identical stock speech with the identical gestures. At some random point, she summons an imaginary White House Press Room podium and says "I can't speak to that." It just makes me SO. DAMN. RELIEVED. that those liars and con artists did not win!

I never accused Psaki of being stupid - evil, but not stupid. She was able to evade questions like a pro. "Circle back" is a meme because although annoying, it worked. KJP looked like a high school glee-club senior the whole time. Posted by: gKWVE at October 22, 2025 06:32 PM (p/J4D) 20
I'm still fantazing about a 2 AM SWAT raid on the admissions office of Yale Law School, to seize Hunter Biden's admission records.
How many phone calls do you think that Joe had to make to get him in there? (Hunter went to Georgetown Law for one year, obviously concluded that that wasn't prestigious enough, and then got admitted to Yale Law through pure merit.)

192 Pages.
And, I'm betting there isn't even any Minotaur Milking. ------ I'm betting its one of those books where the Title, and only the title, appears on page 1, followed by a blank page. And then the chapter begins, but only half-way down the page, because the top half has the number 1 centered, and then underneath the one is the name of chapter 1. So 3 pages in, we have one-half of one page. And after every chapter ends, we have another blank page. And this pattern repeats throughout. 192 pages is about...67 pages of actual writing, most of it likely just made up stories nobody can confirm or deny, and none of it interesting.

Smash thought he was dying and I'm on the road for business and not there. Good news, MegaRoy is drinking water and has had a little food. Walked around and used the litter box although he hasn't shat since Monday morning. Smash is better now that MegaRoy is obviously feeling better. Horde sourced prayers work. Thank you all.

Marie Harf isn’t a real person, no way. It’s Dana Carvey in drag, pretty sure. I was gobsmacked the first time I heard her at the podium. It was like some 8th grade junior high chick, complete with “like, you know” and the rest of it. More disturbing is the mentality of people who hired her. Because they know what they are doing is dumb as hell, but it makes a mockery of the entire edifice. Audio or Radio announcers with goofy voices, when formerly they were hired based on a good voice. Or fat water buffalo adorning VS billboards. The idea is to cause offense, basically. I guess it’s working, so there’s that.
