@plan-A

Back in the university my professor asked me to see them in their office after class. My professor was looking that the three 4KB files of C code and headers and asked "why all the extraneous code?" I said "well I was concerned they might try this... or do that..." and he replied "I know what you were trying to do. You were trying to idiot proof your software. Do not waste your time. You could write a million lines of code and the idiots will still find a way to break something, typically by doing something completely unreasonable with the software. The trouble with try to idiot proof your code is that idiots are just to damned clever." The next assignment I just fulfilled the requirements and did not try to idiot proof my code 😉.

Listen, America, after reading the Donald's latest remarks about how he plans to cancel elections and rewrite the Constitution, I've come to a realization. In 10 years, this disrespectful jackass will be dead, one way or another. The only real question left is whether the men standing over his grave are giving it a NAZI salute, or pissing on it. If you dumbfucks decide to wake up and make the right choice, give me a call. I'll drink a couple of 2-liters of Mountain Dew on the ride over....

I note with interest that folks have moved from houseplants to around-the-house-plants, and since I'm not all that familiar with inside plants, I'm about to move outdoors too.

sauropods.win/@TheDinosaurDave… TheDinosaurDave@sauropods.win - This weeks #Lego #FossilFriday is #Megalonyx

The first fossils of a large animal were found in a cave in 1796 by Colonel John Stuart. He sent them to Thomas Jefferson as he was getting ready to become president.

Jefferson examined the femur fragment, ulna, radius and foot bones, including three large claws and wrote a paper about them. He named the animal Megalonyx from the Greek "Mega" (giant) and "Onyx" (claw).

In 1799 Caspar Wistar identified them as the remains of a Giant Ground Sloth






mastodon.social/@SeanCasten/11… SeanCasten@mastodon.social - Congress must address Kristi Noem's failed leadership, up to and including impeachment. But that alone is insufficient.

The entire chain of command who have enabled a culture of murder must face justice.




I just ran across a dumbass posting about how he had run across some dumbass trying to convince him that there was no difference between Dems & GOP, basically calling all Palestinians dumbasses.

Dems support Netanyahu. GOP supports Netanyahu. The dumbass is the one that can't understand this.



#ProductReview #Logitech #YetiOrbMic

Went to Walmart Supercenter nearby in search of a decent-quality USB mic and liked how the package made the Yeti Orb seemed, cardioid patterning and all and it was for gamers (and I know how picky gamers can be about audio quality).

But I'm returning it tomorrow because it failed on gain, and that's after I downloaded the Logitech G-HUB software, too. Used that to set it on high gain, set the gain setting on Audacity way the hell up there and still feeble signal. NO mic should have to go through all that crap just to get a peep out of it. Friends won't let friends buy that brick.

Nobody Knows Where John Brown Went

A #NoEffort entry from 1910, sung by Arthur Collins, on cylinder. This is about the John Brown of Harper's Ferry fame circa 1859..



Weeks ago, I said ICE was going to kill people if they kept on like this.

For once, I wish I were incorrect...

@Blaise

I have read that there are 9 or more instances just like this in the last physical year. This is not a new level of violence for them, it is their status quo. In fact the officer in question that murdered (in my opinion) this innocent lady also murdered (in my opinion) another victim in Chicago recently.

note: Be advised I have not fact checked this. There could be more or less events I am unaware of.

Yeah, tho JibJab bit the political dust in favor of producing digital greeting cards, we still have #AllHatNoCattle doing the heavy lifting these days.

They're posting their gems on Blogspot these days (yeah, i know--it's Google) but it's high time we resurrect these #Dubya era geniuses, especially now that Noem wears hers like a sombrero.

They've got some plain vanilla general memes, too.
