  1. And don't think you'll beat the system by sharing that data, or the forecasts it produces. A minimum prison sentence of 10 years in the Trump gulag is mandatory for violating the WeatherX terms of service.
  2. What you mean is that the building hasn't burned down YET. But it's already over. The fire has been set. It has damaged numerous critical support systems already. You think that because you don't see massive flames pouring out of the upper windows, it's not burning down. Nope. Fire destroys from the foundation, and it does so faster than you think. It's already done. The smoldering rubble will come, it takes time for large, redundant structures to completely collapse. But remember the rule about how things fail. They fail two ways: 1) very slowly, then 2) all at once.
  3. Daughter is applying to Master's programs in Germany. Odds seem pretty good that she will make her career and life over there. And if that's where a kiddo is....we can at least see spending a lot of time there. We already own a place in the UK, and plan on keeping it - at the very least, as an escape hatch temporarily. But...our friends, and our network, is here. And the idea that fascist pieces of shit will run all the decent people out of our country royally pisses me off. So, maybe all in all, I'd rather go down shooting fascists dead in a civil war.
  4. Days. For real. Just days. "Just-in-time" inventories and all that.
  5. And....what the hell are we gonna do with all of this bacon?
  6. I am 100% on board with Troph needing to wear comfortable shoes, because she's already like half a foot taller than me, and when she wears heels, it's even worse. I mean.....I gotta tell ya, being socially sensitive has already taken away two euphemisms that always made me chuckle: "queerer than a football bat" and "queerer than a three dollar bill." Next thing you know, you're gonna expect me to treat broads with dignity and respect.
  7. Fucking THIS. Defense contractors in our allies (correction: FORMER allies) would be gutnumbingly stupid if they didn't take drastic measures to disentangle themselves from US tech, and posthaste. A few months ago, we were laughing about countries bailing on Russian tech and weaponry because it sucked. Today....everyone else should be laughing at us as people bail on US tech and weaponry, which is absolutely the smart play. We cannot be trusted. Once you break trust, it's game fucking over. And another giant DING DING DING. It is about both grift, and control. Elon wants the entire US government beholden to -- and functionally owned by -- him. He is the most dangerous man on the planet, and the current regime is just handing him the keys to the Republic.
  8. Well, in fairness and in the interest of accuracy, there's also a number in their for likelihood of contracting measles. If you get a vaccination, there's a 100% chance you are exposed to the risks of the vaccine. Your chances of being exposed to the measles (not contracting it, but being exposed to it) are much lower (note that we don't know how many people are actually EXPOSED to an infectious dose, because almost all vaccinated people will not....catch the measles, so we won't be able to account for them). So, there's some numerical chance of exposure. Ironically, the more successful the antivax crowd is in their evangelism....the more prevalent the disease will become, boosting this number significantly. Then, once exposed, what are the chances of an unvaxxed person having serious complications/death? But in the end, the math is still outsized. The ONLY way the numbers work in the anti-vaxxer's favor....is if they can successfully tag along on the herd's immunity. But their efforts to get people not to vaccinate, ironically, lead to destroying the very thing that protects them: the immunity of all the smart people who DID get vaccinated. So, the more successful antivaxxers are, the more likely their kids are to die. Like I said....bad at math, bad at thinking.
  9. THISTHISTHIS. Of the world's major economies, who was the BEST performer in terms of inflation? The US....under Biden. More actual gains were made in bringing strategically important and lucrative manufacturing back to US shores than in decades....via the CHIPS Act...under Biden. None of that shit mattered. None. Because trannies and "DEI" (a term MAGA doesn't understand, and simply used as an excuse to "Make White Supremacy Great Again") and dirty beaners who ruin our country what with all their hard work and building things and picking vegetables.
  10. Huh. They mistyped "People strike back against source of funding for one of the world's most dangerous terrorists." Seems they need a better editor.
  11. Yeah....I'm really looking at converting most of my equities to cash for a time. Seems like I'm not alone in my thinking:
  12. Wrong. The cousin worked at a feed LOT. In Amarillo. I sweatergawd, pretty much that exact story, from a dude I knew from Amarillo. Like, 35 years ago. We only get stupider.
  13. That post sucks. It doesn't tell us WHICH McDonalds.
  14. Forget it Gil, it's Helobious.
  15. He'll likely fuck up several of them. But it's okay. If any of the accused are MAGA-adjacent and our DA happens to get a conviction, our governor will immediately pardon them. It's all good.
  16. I mean....you know exactly why. White supremacy = a-ok, it's the official platform of the regime. Racial equality = COMMUNISM FROM THE DEPTHS OF HELL AND MUST BE BANNED AND IS A FIREABLE OFFENSE AND YOU SHOULD DIE.
  17. When do we get the side effect of fatal cardiac arrest? That’s the best one.
  18. FIF you, in particular.
  19. Counterpoint: there will be a story about a trans kid playing high school basketball in Who Gives a Fuck, upstate New York, and every Trump voter will fall in line. Because destroying the economy, eating soup made from leaves, being subjugated to Russia, having the government empowered to kick down your door for the crime of disloyalty to the regime, are worth trading so we can make sure that Pat in Who Gives a Fuck never takes so much as a free throw. You really haven't been paying attention.
  20. And Putin is drawing up a plan to funnel billions of dollars to Donald Trump. Because duh. We have a POTUS who uses the office solely for personal enrichment, with such enrichment being in the form of either 1) money or 2) praise/loyalty/stroking his ego. Give him one of those two things, you'll get something in concern. What is actually in the interest of the United States will never even cross his mind, much less be part of the calculus. And half the voting public doesn't see that plain truth staring them in the face. It's the goddamndest thing I've ever seen.
  21. Hell, I'd like that too -- eating their own.
  22. Wait....if that's actually the play by the server who was stiffed.....I FUCKING LOVE IT. Stepanie Fucked Around. She was given the OPTION of not Finding Out, in exchange for cash. That's the American enterprising spirit right there. Why do you hate capitalism?
