Intel has called out AMD for its dubious practice of shipping older Zen 2 cores in some of the current Ryzen 7000 family of chips. (Tom's Hardware)

The only problem here is that Intel sells 13th generation cores as 14th generation, and 12th generation cores as 13th generation, so while they're not wrong, they are certainly hypocrites.

A man has died after drinking three glasses of lemonade from Panera. (Ars Technica)

Three glasses of caffeinated lemonade.

Three large glasses of caffeinated lemonade.

Depending on the size he ordered, which isn't mentioned, that was the equivalent of eight to twelve cups of strong black coffee, all at once.

And yes, he already had a blood pressure problem.

So maybe don't do that.

Also maybe don't sell 30 ounce glasses of caffeinated lemonade with free refills.
Green card applicants have recently won the right to be secretly surveilled by the FBI under Section 702, just like American citizens. (Ars Technica)

28 In useless Tech, got off my plane onto the city bus here and... No card reader! Since last time they moved to an app, for which you must have a local SIM. You text a number and get your ticket via text, your mobile account is charged. There is nowhere to buy a SIM at the airport and no indication of how to pay for a bus. Once on the bus there are placards but they're not in English and all defaced anyway.
Leading to me inserting my SIM into my phone on a lurching bus and deciphering what to text, which I accomplished about 30 seconds before KONTROL got on.

52 A city in Belgium has cancelled a scheduled Christmas event in which a black female ‘Santa Claus’ was set to reeducate attendees about “colonial ideology” and how “generations of Flemish people are racists.”

The Telegraph reports that people in Ghent have pressured the mayor to call off the appearance of one Queen Nikkolah, a character created by artist Laura Nsengiyumva, who would have ‘reworked’ Christmas fables about Santa for children at the event.

The report claims that the character was set to be dressed in the colours of the Palestinian flag (for some reason) while handing out gifts to children.

Ahead of the event which was scheduled for Wednesday, Queen Nikkolah announced “I dream of a Belgium liberated from colonial ideology and a society without discrimination.”

101 "How about the citizens obtaining ond of those McDonalds playrooms, send their esteemed elected officials there, and strip them of all powers of the purse? #fecklessfuckwits"

One of the advantages of spending 9 hours driving back from B'More yesterday was the opportunity to spend that time streaming B'More talk radio the entire time.

This is just one more straw being added to the camels load.

And the camel is really beginning to get pissed off.

Trust me, folks are mad.

Thomas Friedman, writes, “a revamped Palestinian Authority is the keystone for the forces of moderation, coexistence and decency.”

I wonder if George Soros gave any financial support to the 'Palestinians'. If so, Mossad may want to suggest he stop. They can be rather convincing in that way.

108 Out of the current money supply of $18.9 trillion, $4.6 trillion—or 24 percent—of that has been created since January 2020. Since 2009, $12.2 trillion of the current money supply has been created. In other words, nearly two-thirds of the total existing money supply have been created just in the past thirteen years.

4 years at 8% inflation or 8 year at 4% to run this through the economy.

The grandkids are here after school every day this week and we feed them dinner, then mom picks them up after she gets off work in the evenings.

But once they figured out it was that or nothing, they were on board.

The left will screech that this has no material effect on the outcome of the election.

Yet will insist that if one as yet unidentified black voter whois unable to get photo ID is denied the right to vote, that this will invalidate an entire national election.

Ukraine (and to a large extent, the region) is the epicenter of organized crime including human trafficking in Europe, and the US has any number of illicit ventures there including bioweapons. Skankles spectacularly stupid attempts to appease Russia and 'reset' the status quo threatened the cash flow and power structure. The US is being blackmailed by Z and the Uke crime syndicate, not by Russia.
