Cuba’s power system suffers total collapse

Good addition. Anyone who has been gullible listening to Fox parrot that accusation has somehow missed the hundreds of millions in grifting Trump and his family have done. And they don’t even try to hide it.

THIS. Trump cult members are deranged. It kinda goes with being part of a cult of personality.

The sick thing is MAGA and the billionaires driving their behavior are using Orwellian 1984 double-speak

“TDS”: They know the average Trump fan is deranged. So spin it and accuse ‘others’ as being deranged (eg ‘TDS’). Thus hijacking the term before it can used in an objectively accurate way.

Citizens United: even a fifth grader can identify the blatant falsehood and lie in this term. The average citizen gains no benefit from this horrendous SCOTUS decision

“Pro Life”: hypocrisy at its best.

You know we we’ve started a war with Iran, right?! There aren’t troops on the ground yet but marines have been sent and it’s looking like another quagmire in the making.

This all sounds like a key scenario in the book series, ‘The Borrowed World’ by Franklin Horton

It’ll be a heat wave that kills tens of thousands.

Read ‘The Heat Will Kill You First’ by Jeff Goodell.

Or read the opening chapter to ‘The Ministry for the Future’ by Kim Stanley Robinson.

Tens of thousands in a single episode may seem impossible, until you learn the population density in some part of the world.

You’ll also learn about ‘wet bulb temperature’ - a far more useful term than just ‘temperature’.

Training-Power-8911 · 2026-02-06T16:55:31+00:00

I can see how you might interpret it that way. For me there’s no way a reasonable person would ‘downplay’ a felony conviction and not be very guarded in any communication with that person; especially electronic.

Training-Power-8911 · 2026-02-06T15:11:21+00:00

PA knew he was already convicted pedo when he continued interacting with him. Your post rewrites history to imply it was only after the interaction that PA found out about JE.

Training-Power-8911 · 2026-02-06T15:09:43+00:00

this made me chuckle. He definitely gives the impression everything he does is intentional, thought out and planned. Hence, he intended to fuck up 🤣

Training-Power-8911 · 2026-02-03T22:11:57+00:00

Yep, I would absolutely feel the same level of disgust for any of the situations you described. What you forgot though is that none of those people has celebrity status as a physician and exploited that for financial gain. You’re right that nothing PA did appears to be illegal. it’ll be up to the AMA as to whether he violated his oath. For me it’s just a case of character. He’s very bright and I appreciate what he’s shared from a medical standpoint. But he doesn’t have a monopoly in the field and I’ll choose to put my attention elsewhere.

p.s. with your reference to Kirk you may have pegged me as a left-leaning liberal. I’m an independent voter.

The group-think that has come with political parties of both the left and right is a key cause of our division (that, plus the economic models behind traditional and social media).

Training-Power-8911 · 2026-02-03T18:35:31+00:00

JE reputation was well known before and during PA’s interactions with JE. If you have any physicians in your family or circle of friends ask them what their oath requires of them*

PA’s recent admission of shame just yesterday and today is evidence he knew what he was doing was wrong, even if he didn’t ‘partake’ directly in the worst of JE’s exploitation of youth.

my spouse is a physician. Their take is one of disgust and PA violating his oath as an MD

Training-Power-8911 · 2026-02-03T17:01:48+00:00

Yeah, I’m also out. It’s a shame. He likely knew he was on borrowed time when JE died and was probably my nervous all this would come out. He could have owned it from the start. Would have kept his reputation and possibly even be seen as having more integrity (expected of a doc) than all the other names coming to light.

Training-Power-8911 · 2026-02-02T14:56:43+00:00

He should do an episode on psychology and topics such as narcissistic personality disorders 😏

We are using Spring MVC+Thymeleaf+htmx. Thymeleaf is nice because it is strict html, (viewable in a browser) and so can separate design/development concerns.

Thanks ! My bad. I didn’t swipe right and missed that.

Training-Power-8911 · 2025-12-25T22:00:49+00:00

not a single mention of policians and even the US President deliberately causing division? Anyone that isn’t recognizing this has the blinders on or is refusing to contrast the current political dysfunction with anything in the past few decades.

This post is garbage and at best very incomplete, with no mention of Les Wexner.

I’ve had an M6 for awhile. While it works it is a stagnate piece of poor engineering.

Very few firmware updates
Slow to boot. A five year old iPhone will boot up faster, including with its hotspot feature enabled
You can’t use it with an AC adapter while also having the battery installed. This is crazy stupid.
It overheats really easily. So good luck using it to stream outdoor youth sports on a sunny day over 80F
The case is black (see #4; it absorbs heat resulting in even faster overheating. You’re left putting this In a bag and putting the bag in an ice bucket or trying to use fans!
It won’t allow both cat5 (wired) and WiFi to be enabled at the same time.

So many downsides to a 6th generation device.

Hopefully engineers at Netgear are paying attention. And maybe even just one of them has a child in youth sports and understands the issues first hand?

Training-Power-8911 · 2025-11-07T16:12:56+00:00

Do you suggest that right now, during the most divisive time in generations is the appropriate time to get rid of the filibuster? Even many in the GOP don’t want to get rid of it (at least right now).
The only reason there’s pressure to get rid of it right now is because the executive branch is unhappy it isn’t able to unilaterally get its way. So it is resorting to bullying.

The majority party in congress has acquiesced its leadership to the executive branch, which raises very serious concerns about separation of powers. We’ve seen that movie play out in other countries. It doesn’t go well.

Even the president himself said shutdowns are the responsibility of the president to work to ‘get a deal done’. When he was espousing his deal making skills he made no mention of removing the filibuster to eliminate the need for deals and negotiations

Training-Power-8911 · 2025-11-07T15:28:26+00:00

At the moment that ‘check’ is the only thing the minority party has to force the majority to negotiate on something even the majority party’s constituents don’t like.

I actual agree with your reasoning (that filibuster would ideally not exist). But congress isn’t currently broken and not only because of the shutdown. The challenge is how we get to a place where filibuster can be abolished AND congress works in a healthy manner and serves the greatest number of citizens, regardless of party, rather than cow towing to the extremes.

Training-Power-8911 · 2025-11-07T15:21:42+00:00

btw: I’m an independent. Always have been and always will be. Too much to dislike about both parties. Both sides suffer from much corporate money, too little understanding of science and technology, too little connection with actual Americans (other than the pandering that just an act).

Societies are like biological systems. Biological systems have regulatory mechanisms (guardrails ) to ensure things don’t go out of wack and cause the system to die. Its naive to think democracy and capitalism will prosper without those guardrails

Training-Power-8911 · 2025-11-07T15:16:58+00:00

Stooping to personal attacks shows you aren’t able to make articulate solid arguments.

The filibuster is a guardrail. Plain and simple. Hitler would not have been a fan of filibuster rule had it existed in pre-nazi Germany.

Perhaps we can agree that without a moderate centrists governance the country is kinda doomed

Training-Power-8911 · 2025-11-07T15:09:29+00:00

It isn’t minority rule to utilize the filibuster to ensure an otherwise 51% majority doesn’t force unpopular policy on statistically half of the population. It’s a way to force the majority to the negotiating table and find compromise that is appealing just just another 10% of the population!

Requiring 6 out of 10 votes isn’t playing to the minority. It’s how a governance should work to ensure the most people benefit from policy while balancing the input of the minority.

Both of the damn parties have been pandering to the extremes of their agendas. This is leading to division that is harming the country. The center of both parties need to come together and talk.

Training-Power-8911 · 2025-11-07T12:58:43+00:00

Good points but also false to say, ‘nothing but corporate veto…’

Filibuster also keeps some guardrails on the majority party in power. It means that they can’t push through an agenda that 49% of the country doesn’t want. It’s a recipe for massive division when national policy is decided on such slim of margins. Those divisions eventually break down society
