Consumer Prices have just been released by Labor. And it’s not surprising to see claims of lower prices – from an incumbent administration just before an election, right?
The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) increased 0.2 percent on a seasonally adjusted basis, the same increase as in August and July, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Over the last 12 months, the all items index increased 2.4 percent before seasonal adjustment.
The index for shelter rose 0.2 percent in September, and the index for food increased 0.4 percent. Together, these two indexes contributed over 75 percent of the monthly all items increase. The food at home index increased 0.4 percent in September and the food away from home index rose 0.3 percent over the month. The energy index fell 1.9 percent over the month, after declining 0.8 percent the preceding month.
We are aghast at the numbers, but that’s the claim. All Items, less food and energy ws up 3.3 percent, so again, Fed lied about “2 percent target.” Obviously.
Unemployment Numbers are also just updated for the week.
And on a states with big changes reported, we see:
Fed Balance Sheet coming this afternoon. (Who has time to read confessionals, though, right?)

Milton Came…
…and Milton went.
For the conspiracy minded, the passing of Milton is very significant. Because IF you believe that weather warfare has been involved, and IF you believe that the emergent drought over CONUS was because of atmospheric heaters used to pump up high pressure and push the low pressure onto a desired track, then with the passing of Milton ain’t it peculiar (for example) that suddenly overnight, three days of rain popped up in our drought-impacted weather outlooks in this part of Texas?
Yeah…from non-stop heat and dry, we now show showers due the 20th through 22nd. Just the kind of thing that would be consistent with turning off scalar atmospheric heaters and dialing back the chemtrails. Oh, but you’d have to be crazy to believe that kind of thing, right?

OK, we all know that the Israeli cabinet will vote today (coming up on night there, shortly) on how to hit back at Iran for lobbing missiles into Israel. Which means that there will likely be something happen tonight or this weekend.
But what’s interesting is the media steering (thought control) at work in background. Take for example CBS News staff told not to refer to Jerusalem as being in Israel: Report. Huh?
The foregone conclusion is that after Biden and Netanyahu speak, Israel vows lethal retaliation against Iran, tonight or tomorrow night should be a good bet. We wonder how Biden will play it IF Israel skips bombing Kharg Island and goes right to a nuclear bunker buster because they likely have enough material already for 2-4 low enrichment (heavy, but flyable if you have a transport plane) bombs to use in return…

Around the Ranch: Measuring Work
It was 4 AM when I rolled out today; unable to sleep there are just too many thins to do. Which is fine when you’re 50 or even 60. but isn’t “work fever” supposed to break in your 70s somewhere?
Fired up (on Brisqi) the Master Project List (MPL) kanban board reminded me that even if I put down the keyboard, there remains about 4 solid months of “things I want done.”
Son G2 and I were talking about it the other day. He reminded me there are two kinds of people in the world in his experience: the transactional people and the emotional people. So today’s “research question of the day” was “How does this relate to work output?”
A reread of a few pages of Cal Newport’s book “Slow Productivity“ brought things into focus. Seems there are – in work studies – people who simply generalize their mission and those who quantify and measure while “on mission.”
And this leads to an interesting inspection of self. Because A.I. then explained that in my line of work (nominal work, anyway)…
“A professional writer typically aims to write between 10,000 and 20,000 words per week, depending on their genre, writing style, and publication deadlines, with some writers potentially producing even more depending on their workload and writing pace.”
Writing is like playing a musical instrument; to be any good at it, you need to practice. So I ran a self audit today to see how many words have been cranked out in the past seven days, measuring Thursday to Thursday because it has been a typical week.
- Last Thursday 1,855
- Friday 1,384
- Saturday 2,210
- Sunday 2,483
- Monday 2,071
- Tuesday 2,132
- Wednesday 5,127
The total number of words (mind you, this does not count any office/website overhead or emails – like reading comments to approve them and such – comes to 17,262 words. 897,624 words per year or about 15 novels of 60,000 words (roughly) each. Been working at this rate for 25 years now. Although, I don’t have the 89-novels and 14 short stories that Louis L’Amour produced in his writing career. I specialized in “disposable words” (a bad decision on my part!) based on highly perishable “news” content.
With this, we get to the first point of this: People ask me, now and again, “How do I become a writer?” Well, the simple answer is “Write! Write lots!”
But I wanted to circle-back to G2’s observation (transactional versus emotional people) because it ties in with Newport.
Transactional people are (more or less) naturally inclined toward self-measurement systems. The other sort – emotional people – do all kinds of screwy things because they don’t measure themselves well -if at all.
What’s more, Newport explains in his book words to the effect that “successful companies often simply have more productive people than their competition. It also follows that measurement is STILL one of the main functions of Management. Which includes self-management.
What’s changing in America – and it’s been slow, but very damaging – is the slow slide from critical, measurable work to a new realms of emotional soft work. DEI, SJW causes and the “reinvention of (reverse) racism” into the corporate world is to my view quite specific evidence that people have lost their ability to self-manage — because they no longer can count.
Well, obviously, if you can’t count – or in many employment settings, you have no idea what your metrics of success are (that is, the required activities for success) then guess what? Success will be elusive.
No matter how busy you are.
First CEO I worked for directly, fellow named Brock, ground this into me. “Make your list, do your list, without stopping, hesitation, or second thought.”
As a direct result of this experience, it was easy for me to slide into my “corporate troubleshooter” role at the time. If someone wasn’t making their numbers, a hard-nosed numerical approach to their planning process always found the problem.
Because if you aren’t getting a task done, it’s because you either don’t know the required sub tasks (or the right order) to get the task done and off the list successfully (which means with good metrics).
America, sadly, has become the Land of Innumeracy. Because Numercy – the skill to work with numbers – includes:
- Mathematical operations: Understanding basic arithmetic operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division
- Data interpretation: Being able to interpret data, charts, and diagrams
- Problem solving: Being able to solve problems and check answers
- Logical thinking: Being able to make decisions based on logical thinking and reasoning
- Spatial information: Understanding shape and space, measuring time, weight, height, or amounts, and determining location and direction
The emotional train wrecks spew forth that math is racist. But the data don’t support that. The data, however, escapes people, who are too lazy to use the tools at hand. Math. Counting.
Remember above all, “What gets measured gets done.” In a world where “Everything’s a Business Model” doing is what matters.
Oh, and pass on to your children and the grand kids: Don’t waste your time with “perishable work.” That’s what Content Creation largely is, anymore. Because doing so runs counter to the concept of durability I laid out in my book “The 100-Year Toaster.”
Write when you get rich,

I had a friend who had a delivery service back in the 90’s. He made a delivery to Hostess Bakery (Twinkies etc.) in New Jersey, and he was amazed that it didn’t smell like a bakery, instead it smelled like a chemical factory.
Ding ding ding – JC , You win the daily prize !
Ultra processed food is KILLING Us & younger generations dead.
Most of that processed scheisse is not even allowed in the EU – friggin poisons .
Not going to get into PLOT by fda and pharmies to slowly release bad sugars to the public in various forms over the years – they Planned and created the Obesity Crisis in USA pop..they already had all the data/info on semaglutide.
big club, sheeps usually not eligible for membership.
Since I have to limit the sugar intake I usually ask for sweetener to go in my tea here in the South.
What I tell the waitress is “pink, yellow, or green, but no blue.”
The blue digests into formaldehyde. which is bad for the brain cells and others. Pink is good old saccharin, which will cause health effects in a mouse after it has ingested enough to float a battleship, once it is diluted to the amount in a drink. Yellow is Chlorine substituted Glucose, with the Cls replacing three of its six OH groups. They are covalently bonded not ionic, so the bonds are difficult to break and make it very biologically stable and inert. It goes through the body with absolutely no biological interaction except that it excites the sweet sensors in your mouth. (This is enough to make your body think you ate something with sugar in it triggering the insulin surge etc.) This yellow is so inert that the bacteria in soil and water do not break it down either, and there is a detecable PPM concentration in the Gulf outside the mouth of the Mississippi. For that reason I mostly stick to the green now, which is a plant based natural material that your body digests with no currently know ill effects.
Most of the chemistry set in the ingredients label is for ease of processing such as the worm based refined protein powder in Wendy’s burgers that makes the ground meat slide through stainless steel bulk processing equipment without sticking. Dave Thomas never hid the fact it was in there and would show it to interviewer, looking like very clean white flour, and only needed a pinch.
Took me a while to give up sweet tea, but moving to Ohio for college, made it happen relatively easy, because by default they deliver tea with no sweetener and people didn’t add it. Now a sweet tea feel like my teeth will rot out. Just put a little less sweetener in the tea each week, you will learn to like the taste of the tea. Of course if dining out, save the money and just get water 2.50-3.25 for a sweet drink or iced tea is insane.
Sweetener? Xylitol. Plant based, (Birch bark) and it is good for your teeth. Inhibits bacterial growth in mouth… they slide right off. I have Xylitol in my morning coffee every day. None of that artificial stuff they stumbled upon while trying to make bug poison.
don’t be messing with my twinkies LOL LOL LOL…. the preservatives in them is what allows you to put them on the counter and heck what sixty years from now they will still be as if they came out of the factory LOL LOL not to mention the other GMO crops.. some of them are designed to use the Tobacco plants.. to keep pests away.. the nicotine in the plant is a killer.. that is why the bee guy won’t drop any bees around this part of the wastelands.. he told me.. I can buy my own bees and he will gladly take care of it and give me half of what honey they produce.. but he won’t put his girls anywhere near it.. they are his lively hood..
I believe that is also why congress passed the law limiting the liability of the companies selling those genetic modifications.. you still can.. but the laws passed made it harder to do so..

You nailed it: “What’s changing in America – and it’s been slow, but very damaging – is the slow slide from critical, measurable work to a new realms of emotional soft work.”
Last Sunday from DC TV station, a government info program–they interviewed a black female 3 star (Marine?) General, Pentagon purchasing or something like that. I swear, she talked for 5 minutes straight about agility, she babbled, said nothing. Interviewer nodded frequently. Evidently it’s all about feelings now days.
I was writing/analyzing a lot in the sixties and seventies, programmed instruction for Thiokol, Warner Electric; Air Force manuals, Xerox jobs analysis and training. Active member of National Society for Programmed instruction (later changed to Performance and instruction). Specialized in exact objectives, behavioral analysis, task analysis.
Now, reading about what this society NSPI, does, it all about “agility” and feelings and groups and “communication.” It is effectively the opposite of what I was doing.
It does make me question things. How long can this go on? It would seem like reality would impinge at some point. Especially with the recent addition of 80-0,000 new government jobs, people doing the same thing.
Could I be wrong and some seemingly magic force/energy/endless money is supporting all of us forever? Have the aliens arrived?
I know, Melatonin.
No, scotch
chilled vodka, shaken, not stirred. thx.
Work? Crap if it had occurred how rough retirement would be I’d still be in practice. Instead I may have pulled off the trifecta: old chimney top removed with new old school replacement / painted stuff that required a Flying Wallendas mindset (ahem, old man on the peak belaying Padawan Wallenda Painter in a harness) / deroof – reroof.
The latter is in progress.

I tasted the Cacao wine.. now that is interesting.. I thought since the sweetening agent is blue agave syrup.. that it might have the flavor of tequila.. but it doesn’t.. its an interesting sweet yet tangy citrus flavor.. interesting.. its now in the second stage. why they charge so much for it…. interesting and should be done for the xmas gift giving.. I didn’t try the BEET wine… that has a few more days on it before I take it to the next stage.. big huge question.. it is suppose to have a pepper in it.. I am not a real pepper fan.. should I put the pepper in it this stage or not.. my guess is the pepper is to give it a little heat.. I did think of slicing a pepper and in the traditional drink bottles do like they do with tequila and drop a small slice in each of the bottles.. to give it the traditional flavor that the recipe of the ancients calls for.. or just leave it out..
any suggestions
? Genetics Loob, what genetics be Ure peppers ?
We talking Habenaro, Carolina Reaper, Louisiana Creeper, or are you a Pepperhead and go for Chocolate Primotali or nice red Warthog?
Inquiring minds..
PS – dont be a wuss, turn up the heat ! Its the “Thing” to do here and now, dont cha know.
habinero…..
so you think I should put a slice in the bottle…
for some reason I mentally thought … a chocolate flavored tequila mix.. it’s absolutely nothing like that..no hint of a chocolate flavor at all..
A couple of Christmas’s ago one of the stores had a limited edition house brand ice cream, Mango Habanero. I got the last half gallon.
I have looked for it in vain ever since.
Probably a good thing for me that it was limited edition, that stuff was sooooo GOOD that if I could get all I wanted I would weigh about 450 lbs now.
naw just faster printing presses… and with computers and networks being faster.. numbers can change faster.. its all about the business model.. always has been always will be..

been watching condensation trails as a child, to just watch how long they would be before disappearing , anybody that pays attention can see,,,, as I never had orange/pinkish sunrises as a young man, that I now see every morning,,, they are fucking spraying US,,, are there any chemical trails in Russia or China?
25 yrs of coal burning power plant experience of working on electrostatic precipitators and upgraded to baghouses for ash collection, I have witness the difference of particulate in the output compared to just condensation, that is white fluffy clouds that dissipate quickly vs ash trails that go on to the horizon
also the shit they were spraying in the 90s is different than what they are spraying now,,, it behaves differently in the human eye visual spectrum,, the 90s had a brownish/grey haze that spread out evenly to dull skies, the stuff they are using now goes out of my visual range during daylight, but in evening or dawn the orange/pink glow is there, way more that than what used to be, before the 90s

Red sky at night, sailor’s delight.
Red sky at morning, sailor take warning.
It’s nothing new.
yes, we all have heard, but
you do not understand my statement,,, as the red sky mornings were rare in my life till 2000, now they are there EVERY MORNING
previous sunsets were not outstanding but now are every eve,,, the glow over the huge lighted area near me did not us to have it’s nightly orange glow, it used to be more normal greyish or fog colored
that shit is NEW
hmmm… from what I know just a little bit about this.. read some crap but seriously we won’t ever know the specifics on airglow, supposedly it is produced by atoms and molecules in the atmosphere. So while In visible light, oxygen produces green and red light, hydroxyl (OH) molecules produce red light, and sodium produces a sickly yellow. Now the question is.. was this a manmade situation or is it natural.. with fires in the forests of california etc.. the chemical changes from the exhaust smoke fumes.. can give the air that red at night look.. or a dust storm..
definitely covering up the sun as it sets…obscuring it with chemtrails.
sunrises, too.
Oh George PLease!
Are you still buying into the weather manipulation bullshit re Marjorie Taylor Green? I thought you had more scientific training than that. Though I have said before, I follow you because it allows me to keep up on every whack job right wing conspiracy narrative in one easy stop.
Are you doing this because otherwise you would have to admit that there is global heating caused by excess industrial gases in the atmosphere. Yes the weather crises are created by humans, but not in the manipulative frame you try to promote. And they will be getting worse for all of us because that is the nature of the growing climate crisis.
But if the conspiracy crap makes you and the faithful feel better, then the rest of us will suffer from you manipulative ignorance.
Sure Genius – and it is Humans that are causing every single Planet in our Solar System to “heat up” as well. I knew it !

Remember the hurricane that traveled back and forth onto Cuba years ago? Not to mention the analyzed components found to comprise chem trails. This person is either a shill and/or a denier of science used as a weather weapon who then poses as an enlightened and intelligent person wishing to lecture us on how gullible we must be. He needs to do a lot of reading.

The one time I ever saw a precipitate (on the ground, on my cars, on the freshly-painted tractor I was restoring {grrr}), it was yellow and looked like sulfur dust (it wasn’t.) That was also the time I saw the bands — perfectly parallel, running from my northern to southern horizon, about 20 miles apart and from the zenith to my eastern horizon.

Before denigrating and castigating all us HAARP believers Google how many world wide HAARP style “atmospheric research” systems exist now. Now they are on towed ocean going platforms that make an oil rig look small, and have enough electrical power to keep a small state lit up.
look and see.
I’ve never figured out why everyone picks on HAARP. When I looked this stuff up, many years ago, it was only the 3rd largest of the seven “atmospheric heater” research facilities extant at that time. It crossed my desk in the first place because the CIA was using it, in conjunction with their spooksats (and maybe another esoteric tech — not my concern, so I didn’t pay too much attention) to window peep into other peoples’ underground facilities.
I made it a point to not notice too much, but came away with the distinct impression that atmospheric and molecular research facilities opened doors that the architect of our plane of existence may have wanted, kept closed, until we could reach the doorknob whilst standing on our actual feet…

Wacko Walz needs to stop blowing crap out of his posterior blowhole. That said, Politico also fully supports Walz’s argument.
https://www.politico.com/news/2024/10/08/walz-says-the-electoral-college-needs-to-go-00182981
But the ‘logic’ of the Walz and Politico position is as narrow minded as it is flawed.
The Founders insured each state had a decided role in the election of a ‘United States’ president. Tiny Rhode Island had a seat at the electoral table along with stated powerhouses (waaay back then) Virginia and New York (the Constitution never calls it the “electoral college,” but only cites state specific “electors.”
If Walz and those with his partisan preference are ever successful in overturning the electoral college process, U.S. presidential elections will be dominated by high population states, e.g. California, New York, Texas, Florida and a handful of others. A national vote ‘majority wins system’ could quickly see lines fault lines appearing which would fracture America into partisan political regions which would no longer be ‘united.’ The Founders, in their profound wisdom, foresaw this possibility and precluded it from occurring with the Constitution’s Article II, Section 1, Clauses 2 and 3 and in the early 1800s congress clarified the process further with the 12th Amendment.

“atmospheric heaters”
Let’s assume for a moment space is real. I googled ‘temperature outside of Earth’s atmosphere” but an A.I. bot answered.
“The temperature outside Earth’s atmosphere, in the vast emptiness of space, is approximately -270.45 degrees Celsius (-454.81 degrees Fahrenheit), which is equivalent to 2.7 Kelvin, just slightly above absolute zero.”
Then I googled temp “outside of ISS”, an A.I. bot answered.
“The temperature in the space where the International Space Station (ISS) is located can vary greatly depending on whether it’s facing the sun or not, but generally ranges from around 250°F (121°C) in direct sunlight to -250°F (-157°C) in the shade; however, the inside of the ISS is kept at a comfortable temperature around 72°F (22°C) by a climate control system.”
How much powered would be needed to heat the atmosphere from -454F to just enough for steering a hurricane? Sigh. And look at that temperature swing in the lower atmosphere.
I think people play too many video games with cheat codes for “God Modes”.

(“Do governments try WX control? “)
a long long time ago.. one of my part time day labor jobs was cleaning the purging tent.. so when pilots came home.. they would go in and clean up.. the several stages.. it was a horrible yellowish powder that stung like hell.. my question is why would someone drop that in the atmosphere around their own family members .. the answer I got was they are not told what it is.. and that the stuff they drop off.. is dropped off by people that do not live in the area they seeded..
‘Make a ripple’, it does! J. Fred Riley was a radio engineer for Continental Electronics, making shortwave transmitters. Typical AM clear channel transmitters were 50Kw. Came an order from Saudi Arabia for 500Kw transmitter system. They wanted to dominate the shortwave bands with a super power transmitter that would cover half the planet. Upon installation, said engineer fired up the transmitter and everyone involved was extremely disappointed in the coverage. Far less than a 50Kw transmitter of one-tenth the power. Much gnashing of teeth and engineering calculations and ATMOSPHERIC SOUNDING of the ionosphere above, finally found that the extreme power was literally ‘burning a hole’ in the ionosphere where radio propagation reflections normally occurred.

It makes a ripple. In fact, that’s all it makes. I don’t believe, other than by seeding clouds and other purely hands-on means, we can “create weather.” However, we damnsure can influence it, once Ma Nature has done the birthing. Go pull up the “atmospheric history” of the Beijing Olympics, from 2-3 months before, until 2-3 weeks after, and if that doesn’t at least open your mind to the possibility, pull historical data on that time period, for the several years previous and look again.

Let me see.. IF.. you were a nuclear country.. and was being attacked twenty four seven.. in a war where all the nuclear countries are supporting the fighting with arms and possibly warriors..
and all the smaller countries and countries without the technological ability to defend themselves.. like gaza.. the Palestinian state .. would you offer them the technology needed to defend them selves on a multi polar war from different areas..
hmm big question that one.. would you.. we are out to get the resources and to keep the other business activities moving the business model .. so would you… do I think they have the technology now.. or maybe a few of the older model units laying around..
China has to stick with Russia.. and all the smaller countries that we have gone in and helped.. are suffering and all of them have vowed vengeance against our aggressive actions..
they vowed to attack from within.. we sold our ports to the makers and distributers of the club k systems.. and opened our borders.. what do you think a weaker country would do..
we had the chance to back away.. we didn’t.. then there was the open admission that was given..
the things quiet said out loud..

Who do you think is behind everything you state?
Look at the heads of our unelected government Departments.
Those people are single handedly AND operate as a unified group of people hell bent on the decline of the American empire.
It is right in the whole world’s face and yet 99% of Americans cannot see it as they cannot add, deduce, deduct, assess, or observe nor compile easily accessed info via, minimally, their own eyes!!!
Ahhh, and NO resistance is offered, most people are gobsmacked, befuddled, mesmerized in a trance-like state of denial obsolescence!!!
If you can’t see the future by now, you ain’t breathing!!!

re: “Measuring Work”
Folks,
The White House website has posted a transcript of President Biden’s 14 minute speech delivered at a whistlestop campaign event near Philadelphia for incumbent Senator Casey, a childhood friend who lived on Wyoming Avenue. Apparently Tuesday’s setting was at a private residence in Bryn Mawr. Wikipedia describes Bryn Mawr as descending from a bastion of Old Money Philadelphia families of the Gilded Age.
President Biden never mentioned the name of the honorable opponent in the election to Senator Casey. Mr. D. McCormick apparently is a West Point graduate who cleared minefields in the 1991 Gulf War and completed civil service to his nation under the GW Administration. He retired a couple of years ago as CEO of the one of the world’s largest hedge funds, and in 2023 authored “Superpower in Peril : A Battleplan to Renew America”.
President Biden stated that the challenger candidate had invested in Chinese companies which produced fentanyl for consumption by America’s youth.
Following the soiree, Air Force One returned the Presidential Entourage to Washington environs.
re: “War Tonight”
Folks,
Hopefully all have paid heed to this past Monday’s rubberstamping by Ukraine’s parliament of new instructions from The National and Security Defense Council of Ukraine. The NSDC is chaired by President Zelensky. Civil servant’s and military personnel shall no longer use the Telegram app on work devices to avoid Russian disinformation.
Today’s posts on Telegram from President Zelensky’s account include advice to hold open the October 17th date. The Co-Prince of Andorra and President of France is organizing a conference for that day on “nuclear safety and security”. Hopefully the White House or its designate receives an invitation considering there may be potential for postprandial fireworks.

>The foregone conclusion is that after Biden and >Netanyahu speak, Israel vows lethal retaliation against >Iran, tonight or tomorrow night should be a good bet.
I wonder why the deference to the collection of Mullahs in Iran? The IDF has no problem targeting Hamas Leadership. It has no Problem targeting Hezbollah leadership, to the point that the last two nominees both declined the promotion ( I think they were snuffed anyway). They got Solimane (sic?) who was the head of the Republican Guard.
Why the oil depot?
Why the nuclear site?
Why not where the 155 Mullahs sit in ‘Congress” while listening to some speech where they are threatening us?
I have a small single barrel 12 gauge and a box of Mexican min-shells about 1.25 in long. Its in the basement for snakes. The end of our uphill cul de sac has enough room for nice back yards but the last 25 % of my lot literally goes off a cliff to the creek downhill, and we back up to about 2500 acres which we were told was so steep it would never get developed. In 37 years several have looked at it and finally ceded the land to the state. So from the woods we get snakes all the time. This year was a pair of Copper heads. I got her about the first of August (about 3.5ft, full of eggs) and him about the end of August (about 5 ft and thick as my forearm at the biggest point). Both time took the little shotgun out to the visitor and reaching out put it near its head and ‘boom.’ No head.
Isn’t it time our target selection went for the head of the snake?
“There it is folks… Hurricane Helene was about cheating in the Election ? The North Carolina Board of Elections Changed the Voting Rules in the Counties Affected by the Hurricane 10 Days before Early Voting Starts ? RULE CHANGES • Easier access to Absentee Ballots.”
Unfortunately, this is of necessity. There will still be 200,000 people in the six most-affected mountain States who will not be able to stroll into their local polling place and vote by November 5th. The Governor, SecState, Elections Head, or whatever these States have as an election regulator MUST require a positive ID for an absentee or mail-in ballot to be counted, and must require that all ballot boxes be supervised 24/7 by an official, plus partisans of at least the two major parties.
Who knows. Maybe this will provide the impetus to bring back ballot boxes and paper ballots…

I, personally, consider Elon Musk stating publicly that his stuff was confiscated and his crews not allowed access for two days, as true and accurate, because that’d be a hell of a limb to be sawing off whilst sitting on it. If’fn folks believe nothing else, this should still ring true…

“Permanent bloatware? Maybe not, but…Microsoft seemingly makes deleting 8.63GB impossible after Windows 11 24H2 update – Neowin.”
Sorry. I know how to low-level format a hard drive — even know how to script it or do it manually, one bit at a time, with a LL editor. I would be supremely pissed if a piece of virus-ware (yeah, I said it!) forced me to do so. I would probably pitch the drive and never again use a piece of virulent bloatware from that particular author or vendor, again…
we decided when this computer dies…or they come out with yet another have to have system.. we will not be updating.. the main and only reason I have kept it is due to bank statements.. I don’t use the most popular banking software in 2916 they started keeping control in another country..the software forgot how to add and subtract and the banking statement was always a dollar or two off..now the fear I had was..since they have control..could they skim a little off the account since they have control and the software has the accounting flaw..
the one I use never has that issue..but trying to get people to upgrade they eliminated the download from bank..
meaning to me a computer isn’t a necessity any longer.
face book..the only reason I have it is to stay connected with family. they now have allowed scammers to steal people’s identities.. I was going to delete my account the other night.. but first I have to download all the photos of my kids..
I’ve never asked if you were tech-savvy. ISTM you would be a good candidate for LINUX Mint and should maybe download or buy a Mint DVD, just to try it. Aside from occasionally the latest iteration of *.docx there’s nothing you can do on a Microsoft-based computer that you can’t also do on a *NIX-based computer. Generally speaking, whatever you do will be better, cheaper, and faster on the *NIX system, and it’ll be more-secure, also.
Ask d’Lynn how his new computer is doing. He just set up a Mint box (I believe, for the first time…)

Well.., I’m back !
Jeeze, guys – I thought I asked for you not to blow anything up while I was gone. The last mob casino and Rat Pak hang-out was imploded – The Tropicana is no more. And what is going into the prized Vegas location? Another sports arena – for newly relocated Oakland A’s. The sport’s arena has the Sydney Opera House look – hate to pay the air-conditioning bill in Vegas for that Behemoth.
The game was a slow moving slug-fest., until the last hour. [ Funny how I can always tell when a game is coming to an end.]
The guy I was told that I needed to play was good.., but not ‘that’ good. Without bruising my ego too much, I’d say we were very close to even.
If you are interested…, [ or just keep scrolling.]
The hand that ended the game:
I took a couple of sips from my flask and slipped it back into my inside jacket pocket., as the dealer dealt the five cards. There were only two of us playing – and we had been trading pots for an hour now.
I looked at my cards – two Ten’s and garbage., and I watch him. ., and bet a hundred.
He matched and raised two hundred. I covered it.., and took two cards. He took one card.
After a minute of recalling the odds and pondering the possibilities., I bet two hundred. [ His last bet.] ., and then looked at my hand. That took him by surprise, but only a little.
After a moment he said – “How much do you have in front of you?” as he played with his chips. [ Not out of nervousness – he was waiting for my response.]
I counted it up – “Four thousand, four hundred and…., fifty.” [ I actually didn’t know – I never count at the table.]
“I see you’re two hundred and raise you four thousand four hundred.” That left him with not much more than a couple hundred in front of him. We were pretty even.
I set my cards down, squared them up neatly and stared at him – he didn’t make eye contact – and it was in that moment, that split second, when I knew I had him.
“Call.” I said softly and I pushed out everything except fifty. “OK.., Let’s see ’em.”
He still didn’t make eye contact and turned his cards over. Two Queens and two Fours. Two pair, good hand – but he didn’t get his full house.
I turned over just my top three cards. All Ten’s.
He tapped the table a couple of times with his knuckles.., “Well done.” and reached across the table to shake hands.
He stood up., pushed his remaining chips [ couple of hundred.] over to the dealer [ tip ] and walked out of the room., didn’t say another word.
“Good player., ” said the dealer, “Third time I’ve dealt him this year.., never talks very much though.”
Anson., “The Bank” walked over., may I do your chips for you, sir?” Anson was slick – I had a gut-level feeling he had more going for him than GQ looks and a well tailored suit. I did notice the slight bulge under his left arm pit – and he noticed that I noticed – and winked.
“That would be great., thanks,” and I stood., separating, then slid two, or three hundred over to the dealer. – “Thank you.” I said to the dealer.
“Thank you.,” he replied.
I walked over to the bar and started looking around – the host came up., “Can I help you find anything?”
I smiled., “Yes., I was looking for some ice water.”
The dealer walked up., “I thought you’d be looking for something harder after an ending like that.” He smiled.
“I never drink before a game, or right after.” I said.
“But I saw you drink from your old flask., many times. Tea?”
The host stopped and listened.
“Nope. Bourbon. Blanton’s single barrel.”
The host chimed in., “Good stuff.”
The dealer looked at me curiously..,
“It’s part of my game. It’s how I play.” I told him. “Couldn’t tell ya when it started., but now I can’t play without it. False ‘Doc Holiday’ persona, I guess.”
He chuckled.., and put out his hand. “Hope to deal you again sometime. You’re a real gentleman at the table.”
I shook his hand., “.,and I will recommend you if I am ever asked. Good job controlling the table.” He smiled and nodded in thanks.
“Do games usually end like that? Pretty spectacular.” The host asked., handing me a tall glass of ice water. “Had me on the edge of my seat.”
Both the dealer and I answered at the same time. “No.”
“After the table thins out and it’s down to two, maybe three., it usually ends with a unanimous agreement for a last hand.” The dealer said. “And that is usually a very standard hand – nothing amazing. Hollywood endings are pretty rare.”
.
The Host – drives a Musk Cyber Truck [ slight Southern accent.]
The Dealer – drives a ’62, or ’63 MG convertible- Nevada plates.
And parked next to ’em was my Studebaker pickup.
Anson – “The Bank” -I don’t know, but probably an Aston Martin DB5 [ he’d make Ian Fleming proud.]
Quite the line-up., with vineyard as a back drop.
.
.., and, Yes – I brought three bottles back for “The Mrs”. [ $240.00] Two, whites just for her., and one Merlot – to share. Plus., as per usual – all the winnings.

You forgot George and my discussion on Latent heat of water/steam.
Most of the AC load in Alabama is condensing all the humidity out of the air at 1000BTU/lb.
Out in Vegas they can use giant swamp coolers to get the air down to a livable temperature. These suck that 1000BTU/lb oout of the hot air to vaporize water running over the filter grid.
These will cost a lot less than AC.
The Church I visited in Pueblo CO when I worked out there had swamp cooler boxes all over the roof, that worked very well.
America, sadly, has become the Land of Innumeracy. Because Numeracy – the skill to work with numbers – includes:
Mathematical operations:
Data interpretation:
PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION
Problem solving:
Logical thinking:
Spatial information:
Fixed that for you.
IMO the inability to identify a problem, either through ignorance, stupidity, or PC (fear of offending someone) is the 800 pound gorilla in the room. It is not possible to fix a problem, if you can’t identify the problem.
The PC problem doesn’t affect me Ray, I just call them all MathTards.
They include all mainstream Media and anyone working on the Federal Budget.
