    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    Here's another good one: "Trump has discovered a simple trick: If he doesn’t like the number, he changes it." To get the complete humor of this article you have to read it. It argues over and over that until Trump was in office, all the numbers that came out of the government were factual...

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    I ran across a great example of why to not post a link or a headline without at least reading the article first. What's the "staggering" number? Thousands, tens of thousands? No, it's 245 during a 6-month period. (I'd consider that staggeringly low). And why do they do this? "Americans'...

    My that was diplomatic of you! Aside from politely pointing out the inaccurate description, did you have anything to offer about the issue of a state government providing this level of support for another country, or was it just to air your insult? For anybody interested in the issue, look at...

    There is an obvious explanation for this. After about 20 years I left Intel right at Y2K. The stock price immediately dropped and has never recovered to what it was back then. ;)

    bidens incredible transition to electric cars

    Got this today. Being a hopeless liberal state, Oregon has aggressively pushed electric cars, plus we coincidentally have a fairly new data center nearby. I'm sure that will cut back so the ordinary people won't have to :D:rofl::D.

    There has to be a lot of BS hocus-pocus with this Intel deal. Look at the confusing statements in the same report: The U.S. agreed to purchase a 9.9% stake in Intel for $8.9 billion at a price of $20.47 a share, The government will purchase the 433.3 million shares with funding from the $5.7...

    Bernie thinks this is great. Who would have thunk it?

    Funny / Satire

    Anybody else remember what a fried selenium rectifier smells like? Wikipedia: During catastrophic failure they produce significant quantities of malodorous and highly toxic hydrogen selenide that let the repair technician know what the problem was.

    Windows 10 EOS (22H2) Oct. 14, 2025

    Lucky for me, Win 7 isn't expiring in the foreseeable future.

    On tariffs, I'm looking at it just the opposite, saying short term it's a bad thing because it will raise prices and disrupt commerce. Long term a good thing by bringing more jobs, manufacturing and know-how back into the country. Besides plain old common sense, it's a national security issue...

    NVR vs Blue Iris

    There are so many existing threads for this and I'm too lazy to write up my take on it again. Without any specifics, there are pros and cons to both, and there's a pretty big polarization for one way or the other from different forum members. For myself, I'm running both in parallel because...

    How would you do this install, that has a 3 ft crawl space?

    I'm no expert, but I think if you drill from the inside out you might end up with a pretty ugly exit hole. Could avoid that by drilling a small hole from the inside to be a locator, then drill the big one from the outside.

    That destroyer at the top of the picture is so big it looks like you could almost land a plane on it.

    New Study Links Fenbendazole to Remission or Near-Remission in Three Stage IV Cancer Patients

    A few states have made Ivermectin OTC, but all of the USA sources I've looked at are price gouging. I've had a few batches of various meds shipped from India pharmacies and they've all worked out. They actually ship from some small island, to minimize shipping and/or customs hassles I presume...

    Money & Economics

    Agreed, plus in the case of computer science degrees, I suspect a big part of this is the typical overshoot that happens with large supply and demand systems. The lure of the "six figure salaries" I'm guessing created an oversupply of degree holders, while at the same time the industry matured...
