  • We in engineering are allowed to use whatever the heck we want so long as IT agrees that it is useful and safe and costs less than other options.

    So we run a bunch of open source stuff. But the biggest one is Python. We connect arduinos and rpies to run complex machines. Meanwhile CAD runs on windows unfortunately along with all the bullshit spreadsheet, word and PowerPoint.

    Linux is awesome and I see Windows day’s numbered. So long piece of shit obsolescence software! One day you will be no more.


  • Scan that shit and give it to an AI. Then let AI listen in to the trial. If the people of the jury doesn’t agree then that law is bullshit and piled on the bullshit law list. Anyone then running for senator is forced to read all bullshit laws and summarize them. If elected, you cannot participate on anything else until you have fixed at least 10 bullshit laws of your own, then and only then your term starts and it ends as counted from the moment you start working on your first bullshit law. If you haven’t completed 10 such laws by the end of your term you will be held liable for competing the 10 law requirement by paying your full yearly salary for the amount of time required to have someone else do it, or in full if you don’t want to fix any laws or you will be put in jail until you complete your 10 laws.

    This will work as a deterrent for dumb ass senators and it will reduce the number of bullshit laws significantly and quickly. Additionally, having AI in the trial, people will realize that filling in the blank is literally what AI does. It doesn’t think. It just reads thru the bullshit and gives you bullshit back.


  • Windows 98 ate my college photos and music when a virus made my HDD take a click of death dump.

    Fuck you to whoever wrote that virus. Since then I gave various linuses a go and I did so for a while each just learning how to be as lazy as possible while using linux. Later I had to run windows for some cad software. But after it corrupted my Linux several times I gave it the boot into its own drive which is only startable using grub. Grub sits on the Linux drive. My home drive is a big ass Linux formatted drive that mounts into Home/username. That way even if my Linux takes a shit I can reinstall it and boom back to where I left off…solo much further than anything windows could ever imagine. I could even have several linuses all going to the same home folder without any problem.









  • Darn! I’m North of Seattle. No hurricanes here, just slow annoying rain. Think of rain, but then imagine it only stops a couple of days of the week. Keep imagining rain, remove the Forest and the frogs and the birds. I would add rabbit squirrel, coyote, and the occasional bear or reindeer… All of them making wet sounds. Moss and algae and mycelium covering everything. Then imagine a shower with a misting effect but for every million droplets remove all but 1 droplet. That’s our rain. Everything is fucking wet all the time but just not enough to wash things clean or sometimes even to keep trees happy. Imagine having to water your plants because the daily rain wasn’t wet enough. You know when you have a sink full of dishes so you fill it with water, but then you get a call about a relative in the hospital so you leave for a month and comeback to the dishes but now all of them have these water evaporation and dry sludge lines? Yup that’s outside. I feel for the homeless here.

    This is interesting. Just recently two of my few YouTube personalities passed away. A co worker too. My co-worker definetly had no plan and his family was left high and dry. We had Robert Murray Smith who was broken when his wife passed and he used science to go follow her. His brother quickly left his followers a message. Finally a photographer who did darkroom demos and such also died. His channel says nothing about it. So YouTube is probably making money off dead people. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mElL9M5GhG4 Bill Schwab




  • Instead it should just a bunch of people coming together every Sunday to sing and hear stories. Right? Forget all the flying invisible people bullshit and I can live with that. And Santa can be in it to…so long as we all agree that is all bullshit.

    Dear other members of this meeting, I hereby proclaim that I will believe all the minor bullshit and enjoy our time together. No major bullshit allowed, just stuff we know is bullshit like Santa and the egg laying Bunny. Fine if you wanna add more but again it must all be made up and we all have to agree to having a band, sing alongs and food eating gatherings.
