Get With the Program, People!

“On the personal side, I also intend to pause twitter activity, as I notice current microblogging platforms tend to mostly contain flame wars, self promotion, or shared links I could find anyway with a good feed reader.”

I would exhort Emmanuel to go ahead and take the next step: Run your own site like I do. It’s not that difficult for anyone with a modicum of administrative ability and probably alot safer from a security standpoint, as well. The ISPs are running back-haul caching servers for their own purposes, so bandwidth is not going to be an issue in many cases.

The whole Web3/Crypto push is nicely idealized in their de-centralized vision(s), but presently lacks any practical development, implementation or operational tenets with the usual exceptions of attempting to generate value where none exists.

I’m no fanboi for much of anything, but it works well and is open source.

In Texas We Trust

This is what I’m talking about. Sometimes you just have show the cocksuckers what they are. They don’t understand normal communications. Chaz Stevens knows how to get the job done.

“It’s simple — it’s empowering hypocrisy itself, turning bureaucracies against themselves, figuring out what the bureaucratic hypocrisy is,” Stevens said.

We trust Texans to to get with the program – soon.

Back in the Day: Origins of DSP

As a 22-yo Airman 1st Class hangin’ tapes at Buckley Air National Guard base in 1983, I had no idea what I’d gotten myself into. By the time Lockheed laid me into retirement, I was doing test and integration work for the Block 10 iteration of the most amazing space-based ISR asset the world has ever seen. Then it was the Space-Based Infra-Red System (SBIRS). Not sure what nomenclature it’s labelled with now other than just another piece of our space-faring system-of-systems.

This is what started it all. We finally had visibility on orbit.

Special Master

Here’s ur “Special Master,” mutherfucker. He’s about 6’3″, 250lbs. and likes soft, flabby flesh for easier penetration. You get to meet him in prison. The Fuckwits are too stupid to realize the investigation started the minute those secrets left the Oval Office. The owners knew exactly what it was before it was briefed to the idiot. Why does anybody think the Russians and Saudis been financing Felonius Fuckstump all along?

The previous administration certainly was nothing but a gang of totally traitorous morons.

Crudité?

Learn something new every day…

I believe the Senate itself makes an apt analogy: a bunch of high-brow fuck-asses with no connection to their constituents whatsoever.
Vote for the dipwad who likes fancy French words!

Airlines Suck

The first airliner I flew at around ten years old IIRC, had four propellers and we were delighted to be treated to an actual hot meal during the flight. Even during many long flights on military aircraft of all types during a twenty-year Air Force career, one thing almost never changed: They always launched on time. Today’s air travel is driven by only one primary business motivation. It’s not serving customers, growing or improving the business or even keeping the shareholders happy. Turning a profit seems to be the only thing that matters now.

Yeah, things like pandemics and TSA screw up everything. Join the club. But you greedy airline executives can go fuck yourselves after getting billions in bailout money to keep the skies open. What should we expect if you can’t get the job done on the dole?

I’d rather be sitting in a C-130 jumpseat than standing in these lines.

And if I don’t see some movement on the biofuel topic, I’m gonna get real mean next time.

Layman’s translation: Code Monkeys messin’ with ur shyt.
