More infill harmony
Here’s another example of architects creating a pleasant harmony with existing houses. The lot to the left of this house has always been empty. It’s a triangle in a tricky spot, so it probably wasn’t enticing to builders. A few months ago a builder put up a duplex in the lot. Google didn’t catch it…

Sue for maintaining extreme danger
We had an ordinary windstorm yesterday, hardly worth calling a storm. Three hours of winds around 10g35. It didn’t cause any power outages, didn’t knock down any trees. The Weather Bureau gave out a Red Flag Warning because conditions in trees and brush are ripe for fast fire spread. Avista did its part in preparing,…

0% action, 100% buzzwords
The demonic “city” has done its trillionth meaningless “task force” on the most basic functions of government, and it still hasn’t done any actual WORK. This “task force” was assembled after a previous “task force” wrote an intentionally failed “referendum” designed to guarantee that nothing would improve. Three years later, the “stakeholders” are congratulating each…

Update on last year’s arson
Last summer several arsonists caused a tremendous amount of damage and trouble. The fucking satanic “city” refused to prosecute them, then finally managed to keep ONE of them (Chad Horne) in jail for more than a few seconds. They still released other arsonists. At that time I wrote: = = = = = START REPRINT:…

Makeforce reprint
Partial reprint from April 2019, a year before the chaotizers committed the biggest crime in history. = = = = = START REPRINT: Resistance is futile, but self-defense is not futile. First and most directly, don’t merge with the Cloud. Don’t take that last step, don’t place your devices into Elon’s hands. More subtly, use…

Relaxing vacation
Lately I’ve been getting some nice laughs from a Reddit section that calls out stupid computer tricks. The most common items are AI running off at the mouth, getting lost in endless random numbers or stuttering the same word forever. Especially good: Commercial display boards stuck in BIOS setup mode. This one gave me a…

Probably a good thing
According to “news”, the Selective Service will start registering men automatically when they hit 18. “News” sources are treating this as bad because it happened while Trump was in office. It’s a safe bet that the agency has been planning this move for a long time. The change is actually GOOD in context of existing…

How I became a cop-lover
A journalist writes about the “ethics” of journalism, which of course means faithful copying of DNC talking points. She cites a 1969 article by Joan Didion, “How I became a cop-hater.” Didion, a boringly standard DNC robot, claims that she believed the police were helpers until she grasped the cool high-status DNC religion. In the…

Same old shit
Via Spokesman-Review: The DEA proudly announced a huge drug seizure in the Kennewick area. The ringleader had set up a network with residences in several cities and salesmen all over the place. He was not only a repeat offender, he was on probation after early release from a previous huge drug trafficking sentence. As fucking…

True but not how they mean it
Fuckheads are fond of saying “One injustice anywhere is injustice everywhere”. Citing Einstein, Gandhi, Franklin, Jung, Nietzsche, Lewis, Chesterton, Plato, etc. It’s true but NOT the way they mean it. Justice DOES NOT MEAN what those fuckheads think it means. I can’t possibly translate or parse what goes on in those supercrazy heads.. JUSTICE MEANS…

Confusion to the enemy
Via NewScientist, a solid but unsurprising bit of research. Why do some mushrooms produce psilocybin, which causes hallucinations in humans? Turns out to be the same reason as many other non-obvious plant chemicals. It kills and confuses insects. The researchers took the direct approach, microdosing fruit fly larvae with psilocybin. Most of them died, and…

Anniversary
Jan 20 is an anniversary for me. This year isn’t a round number, but for some reason the day wants to be marked this time. Jan 20, 1970 was the day I started housekeeping on my own. I got out of prison on Dec 19, then STUPIDLY followed expectations and returned to college at OSU.…

No alarm, no opportunity
Google Books is shutting down, or at least no longer available to the public. They’re telling users to “create a library” so we can continue using the books in our “library”. This is absurd. I always downloaded the books I found useful. Now I have them in my computer. Why would I want to keep…

Ned Green and enjoyable science
Linked in previous, worth a reprint. = = = = = START 2021 REPRINT: Following part 1 and part 2 and part 3. Saved the best for last. Colonel Ned Green was the most influential of these three men. Money talks, and intelligently-directed ENJOYABLE money talks best. His mother Hetty Green was the equivalent of…

Mass does the right thing!
Via Bloomberg: The Carney Solution (which I’ve been recommending for a long time) is catching on! Massachusetts has decided to stop screeching about “democracy” and start SUPPORTING ITS OWN PEOPLE. It will raise taxes, including a millionaire tax, and use the money to compensate for federal research cuts. It will also CROWDFUND the research, which…
