The children yearn for the mines.

We really only have the Second Amendment. I am now on a list.

I think the selective attention test:

further illustrates the limits of human vision and mental processing quite well. Defense attorneys probably ought to play this video in any case where witness testimony is a big component of the prosecution’s case.

Test only on dev hardware because production hardware is too expensive to waste on developers. No idea why the software runs better on dev hardware than production. They’re kind of similar.

Trump changes constitution to allow himself additional terms. Monkey paw curls. Obama term 3 confirmed.

I’m kind of hoping Trump kicks the bucket before the end of this term. Keep feeding him hamberders.

I don’t know. I assume it is either a dealership or a lot for the storage of inventory. They have multiple other Tesla models as well. It hasn’t been there long and isn’t labeled in Google maps. The photos in street view are years out of date and show buildings that were torn down.

There is a Tesla dealership near my house that has a lot full of them. A ridiculous number. It seems that Tesla is struggling to get rid of them. Hard to believe that there is not a huge market for electric dumpsters sold by a conspicuous asshole.

Dang. I didn’t have Russia nukes China on my 2025 disasters bingo card.

I’d like to stand directly behind Trump. Especially if he was near a cliff.

I got permabanned for saying I would like to see how Eisenhower would treat some Nazi marchers in Wisconsin. Apparently, that is not a commentary on how far the Republicans have shifted, but is actually advocating violence. I haven’t been supplying Reddit with free content since. Their loss, I had a pretty decent amount of karma, so I probably was contributing to the popularity of their site.

Reminds me of the safety flags we used to have to attach to our Big Wheels so that drivers could see us.

Because people don’t like jumping out of windows to their death.

Used to be Dallas was pretty famous- Kennedy shooting, cheerleaders, and a titular TV show.

I’d say Salem, Massachusetts (pop just under 45k) is pretty famous thanks to the witch trials.

I have a long list of people I would execute if I could get away with it. The transgressions that get you on the list are numerous and varied.

My parents bought a Plymouth Reliant K Car. It was so bad that no one in my extended family has ever considered purchasing a Chrysler product since. I don’t understand how Iacocca saving Chrysler with the K car was not prosecuted as fraud on the American people. That thing was a piece of shit. My favorite feature was how the air conditioner had a condensation collection tray that would fill with water as it operated. Then when you stopped the water would slosh out onto the feet of the front passenger. The floor in ours eventually rusted from the AC condensate. (Lived in Houston which is both humid and hot requiring year round AC). It had plenty of other problems too (shitty carb, bad brakes, lots of squeaks and rattles). My parents sold it before I was old enough to drive.

Great Dying 2: The Human Boo Boo

I like it because I have been unwillingly participating in it for decades. 70% loss of population on average for monitored species since 1970. It is not going to get better any time soon either.

There is a reason it is called a scrum.

The amount discovered in each of the last three years has been less than a year’s worth of consumption. The global consumption rate is still rising. At some point we will necessarily run out. The lack of readily available reserves has already lead to “innovations” like fracking, oil sands, and deep sea extraction. Those techniques weren’t profitable when production is easy, but they have delayed the inevitable.

I fully expect to see solar powered wells extracting oil that otherwise has a negative EROI in my lifetime.

Why are we training kids on civics with Fox News or MSNBC? People are dumb and will continue to be so.

I know this truck. Ain’t no stranger. I know that truck. That’s a Ford. Fucking Ranger. Fucking Ranger. Ford Ranger. Damn.
