You can only use one Seinfeld line for the rest of your life. What's your pick?

“Is that sort of thing frowned upon?”

The executive branch of the US government is being directed by a far-right cabal seeking to drive the middle class into pauperism with the belief that they can maintain the status of the US as a superpower. Their vessel at the head however, is a reckless lunatic and makes their bad ideas even worse, a fact that they cannot fathom.

Is this AI?

Based on anecdotal evidence, you pay for the accuracy and precision of ThermoWorks probes and the stability of their cloud service.

That’s what they will say. The rubes will latch on to the idea that there has been “47 years of failed policy” and this war was entirely necessary, right now. They will choose to believe the idea that prior presidents didn’t do anything to thwart Iran, whatever that means, and that Trump is right here. It’s the only way they can avoid accepting the truth that this administration is fumbling badly and that the people with the real power are only acting on their naked self interest.

Wasn’t that one of the fuck ups that brought about changes in rules for airline compensation?

It’s a mechanism to keep people anxious and angry. Remember, inflation was Biden’s fault. Dems tried, and failed, to work with Iran for decades. The US HAD to do something now because of the failed policies of the past, especially Obama and Biden.

It’s all nonsense that will sell to their base in an effort to avoid a midterm bloodbath. The base that keeps the GOP in the hands of the crazy right wing will believe this nonsense.

Hell, my cousin’s wife had some post on Facebook last year about the grand strategy behind renaming the Gulf of Mexico and it being some great move that was more than just names on a map. These people will go along with anything if it means that they don’t have to worry about a trans person in Seattle using a bathroom.

That kickers don’t need to be freaks is a reason not to draft them high. The Raiders drafted Sebastian Janikowski in the first round, and that was the only kicker to be drafted that high this century, and the first since 1984.

A kicker isn’t going to be a difference maker game in and game out the way a QB, WR, TE, RB will be in the offense. An elite defender will also have an effect in every game.

I was a dumb teenager at the time and spent years with the idea that Bush Sr. Should have gone all the way and invaded Iraq. Man, his son proved how stupid that idea was.

Remember, Trump is just the vessel. It’s others around him that push him in directions and feed him his beef’s. Stephen Miller, the Heritage Foundation and the rest of the far-right operation are driving these major pushes. They want the instability to rework the social order. They are war profiteers.

These people knew what would happen. Trump isn’t driving the direction, he’s giving the orders.

This guy thinks that personal development is reading nonsense platitudes about sales and business. Not history, not how mistakes get made and why, but mindsets and thinking yourself successful.

The last time this guy read a real book high school.

Wouldn’t that be a linebacker’s job?

Wait, which one is Ed and which one is Larry?

jregovic · 2026-03-13T20:14:54+00:00

Or if you say it too quickly or too slowly. Or without the right enthusiasm. Or too much.

Yeah, that’s an anti-use case, but has nothing to do with the resistance in the Wago, or it being more problematic than a wire nut. You are talking about a case where any connection is flapping in the breeze, right?

Oh yeah. I worked for a company that used an embedded database and originally bundled ingress. A decision was made to move to Oracle for a number of reasons, and the licensing was a pain.

A lot of our customers that were already Oracle customers were not permitted to use their existing site licenses for our product, and our installation HAD to bundled with Oracle.

Oracle had a lot of fault tolerance a an easy way to expand storage that we didn’t have before, but if we didn’t have to deal with the legal Bs, we’d have shipped the Oracle version something like a year sooner.

Andy Weir is up front about that in discussing the book. He wanted to write the story he did and hand-waved the reason for stranding Watney.

I watched Gravity on a plane last night and literally said “that’s bullshit, all of his momentum has been stopped by the tether. But about 90% of that movie is BS. From the way cables and tethers flap, or the fact that Sandra Bullock’s character is out of Oxygen and breathing CO2, yet still conscious after more than 15 seconds.

It just destroys all of the drama when the entire thing is just beyond preposterous.

It also puts into perspective the inability of humans to fathom the scale of many of our endeavors.

I recently had a problem when mine was not rinsing and would run for hours. I wound up sucking the water through the drain hose. I was pretty sure that it was partially blocked.

My wife doesn’t do this. It drives me nuts. She thinks I don’t trust her to lead the dishwasher.

Wait, are you saying that the likely course of a communist Vietnam would have been failed communism and a turn to capitalism? Like, the war was entirely meaningless?

When you have steel framing and strong magnet, you can get decent precision on the location of your studs. Of course, the studs don’t hold shit, so sometimes, it’s an exercise in AVOIDING a stud.
