Nothing But Trouble, so they don’t come back

It’s one of those, you’ve seen enough articles, time to get on the email list, kinda things.

If a billionaire is in actual trouble, he’s in China. US would have bailed out Evergrande.

They say “never shit a shitter”, but apparently it should be “always shit a shitter”.

We made an automaton clerk. It has neither arms nor body, but it works all day translating physician’s documents, so they may be stored with uniformity in a library that has neither shelves nor paper.

You wanna go for start-ups then. Most bigger and medium-sized companies have centrally-managed security where they wanna push updates and such to all computers or there’s some corporate spyware everyone’s gotta run or they’ve got everyone on M$ Office etc etc. Odds are a place that lets you use a linux laptop is going to be reluctant to buy you one and invite you to use your own. Macbooks aren’t so bad, if they let you have sudo, lots of places use those.

Old news, he’s fired already https://syrianobserver.com/news/87867/free-syrian-army-in-tanf-changes-its-leaders.html

The presidential appointees who struck down Roe V Wade now get an opportunity to let a powerful man off the hook. I don’t see Trump facing the music in his lifetime.

I feel even better replacing a new or old sponge with a brush that will never get that awful sponge smell

“Latinum lasts longer than lust.”

I wonder if it has much to do with the USAF being a relatively new service with a proportional cultural impact, coming into being as a service in 1947. Up until then, combat aviation was subordinate to the Army and Navy. This would point to a preponderance of Army/Navy WWII vets among the show’s consultants and audience.

I’m typing on a mac keyboard on Debian. USB one with the numpad. It’s fantastic if you’re into that.

The last time I tried to pair the magic mouse 2 though, no joy. I’d be wary of the bluetooth keyboard.

“Earner” doesn’t sound like the right word for people who make their money by owning things instead of working.

Free my boy John Turscak!

There was a programmer at my job, he put out the vibe of being a gung-ho guy and got promoted to team lead. The moment he had a scrap of power he started publicly berating the other devs, randomly, over nothing, leaving me wondering who he’d snap on on a given day. One day I got the message to shut off his access to the build server, which meant he was fired. It took way too long but it was delicious when it happened and my work satisfaction skyrocketed. An asshole can change a whole job.

The usual. Journalists, democracy, threats to fascism and corporate profits at home and abroad.
