Loved Dilbert as a kid, even into college, but fell off it eventually. Even if he turned to right wing trolling, I'll always remember those big comic compilations fondly.

Cancers a terrible way to go.

Let's see what the people who want to Make Mumps Great Again are recommending today?

64oz rare porterhouse breakfasts is it.

Neat.

Ah! Yes, I agree.

Where have you seen 4 GB cut it in the last decade? 2 GB was enough to make Vista chug in 2007?

I've got old linux boxes that feel fine with a couple gig of DDR3, but can't think of a place where that would be acceptable outside of that.

Could it be ... gut the federal government like it was a leveraged buyout and then steal everyone's money?

Certainly seems to be.

That's part of what I mean, actually. You go downtown here on the last big weekend they organized, and its 10 blocks of shouting people in a small/mid sized city, media representation at the local level was good - there is still a newspaper here - on the evening news it was a 10 second clip, and outside of that - "personalities" talking about the whole event nationally and a 30 second spot on Seattle and New York?

Like, compare some pictures of these protests to the 4 guys with a sign locally during Iraq?

The signal attenuates fast.

I wonder if this is a media bubble thing, because basically all I see online is the opposite. The difference between the screaming outrage there and the complete absence of news reporting it tends to get pretty freaky.

I mean, we've got 20 point swings in special elections and mass protests ranging from large to huge all over the place and you'd barely know if you were looking at the evening news.

Well, at least it wasn't Larry Ellison.

People were okay with it when they assumed, I think naively, that only guilty people had anything to hide.

Now that we've got someone willing to throw all rules and morals to the wayside in charge, they've understandably begun to reassess.

Or perhaps we shouldn't have killed off the concept of pensions in the United States so we weren't all beholden to godforsaken 401Ks?

Reading through it, it looks like they were just using all of their 24 hours until ceasefire. https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/gaza-city-residents-set-...

Ceasefire went into effect ~5AM Eastern, they were still bombing when I went to bed.

Eh, I'm not holding out much hope, Israel was doing more bombing runs a couple hours ago according to the news.

I will admit I've had some fun pointing the Fox News crowd to live Oregon traffic cams.

You know, it's fun how Ellison's been selling this same dystopian hellscape since Bush II. What is life that we're back here again?

They are planning on de-orbiting weather satellites because the administration doesn't believe in climate change. Nature was maybe on to something.

According to the radio this morning, they're currently working to close all the FDA branches that do food safety testing, so, good guess?

Yes. Yes it is.

I mean, we had actual doctors doing the "In your head" song and dance before my wife was diagnosed with RA for a good 3-4 months. There was visible swelling/blistering and she couldn't walk unassisted. This is an anecdote of course, but, this was a very obvious condition, and we got "in your head"ed.

Except for that bit in the beginning where its "Young Jeff Bridges" that was exceptionally bad.

Welp, thanks for telling me what to turn off right now Mozilla.

Ergo Proxy - So your biological terraforming engine has become sentient and decided to circumvent its kill code via flash cloning.

This is great if your particular immune disorder doesn't kill your ability to walk or eat or type, but the increased cancer risk definitely seems worth not having to comparison shop foot-pedal mice.

I've read that the increased cancer risk isn't so much an increase in cancer rate as a reduction in bodily policing of early cancers?

Type 1 and RA in the family here and they are life re-defining conditions. Everyone of us is watching this research like a hawk.

Very well could be, my honest guess is nesting circles of bizarro world. The "we don't like social studies and history" and "we don't like sex ed" crowds leading into the "we don't believe in evolution," "we don't believe in dinosaurs," and then the "slaves were happy" and "actual nazi" sets.

That's hard to eyeball though. By weight of catalogue entries 1/3 nuts.

Given family health issues our kids get to enjoy virtual school - still a public school just structured to function mostly through computer.

But! We do get inundated by homeschool catalogues and materials.

Wow the Young Earth Creation crowd and the alternative history / alternative science crowds are well represented.

Based on the materials presented I'd guess 1/3 crazies to 2/3 people with unfortunate constraints or nonstandard schooling needs.

Nope, Musk literally invited Jones and Tate to babble with him for three hours.

Just a grand old time :-/

Wasn't he actively threatening the Texas House before the impeachment trial? I'm not sure if that counts as exonerating?

Don't forget Robert's Wife, Alito, and (because we must cover our bases) Sotomayor's Children's books.

Time to archive what you like and drop for curiosity stream I guess.

Bah, I'm not sitting through 6 ads on a 15 minute video review.

"Ah, crap that's a lot of ad losses"

"What do you mean people are live-streaming engine swaps"
