• All you political wonks who won't talk about Linux

    From vallor@21:1/5 to All on Sun Feb 11 04:25:36 2024
    All you political wonks are almost always wrong.

    Want to be right for a change? Add an obligatory
    Linux paragraph to your posts.

    Or don't. After all, who am I to question such
    brilliant political discourse?

    Bloaty,

    Today was National Cream Cheese Brownie Day. Did you have a few?

    I had a Korean burrito made with "Impossible burger" "meat".

    Is it your contention that you eat healthier than I do? Because
    you don't.

    You also forgot about the Linux. (Remember the group? It's
    a group about Linux.)

    I talk about Linux a lot, and much more in an advocacy sense than you
    ever do,

    I wouldn't know, I never see your posts except within very
    narrow parameters -- and there, I've almost always regretted it.

    But paraphrasing Rev. Westley -- we don't have to think alike to
    Linux alike.

    but that doesn't mean I'll refrain from off-topic talk.

    You snipped the part out of my post where I said if you do,
    maybe stick some Linux advocacy in an ObLinux paragraph
    in your post.

    Or not. Your choice, but think of the Linux famblees.

    Consider: Such a paragraph included in these myriad
    cross-posted monstrosities would send a message that
    here, in cola, the topic is Linux Advocacy -- and that's
    what they'll get if they show their face around here
    anymore.

    This could be the beginning of something big, Joel,
    and you could be in on the ground floor.

    No.

    The purpose is not to question the political crap but to ignore it. If I
    see a political message, I skip it. If I have to read it to find the
    Linux related paragraph, I won't like it. I prefer having the political
    garbage easy to ignore.

    I had a Korean burrito made with "Impossible burger" "meat".

    From a restaurant?

    I eat veggie burgers every couple months (frozen mostly). Not my favorite.

    Probably not. What's your height and weight? I'm 6'1" and 215lbs.

    Right, it's trans-exclusionary radical feminist. But conservative or moderate TERFs get called it, too.

    You notice how he ran Win10 with Office 2003 on an ancient box
    comparable to my old one - talk about "cheap", he trolls a Linux
    advocacy group with pro-Win and pro-Office tripe for years, and he
    can't even fork out for a new computer until the last second, even as
    the current builds of Win10 become grossly overweight for his CPU, and
    he neglects to get anything like up-to-date Office.

    He's a walking advertisement against commercial software, it's
    apparently too costly to stay current on.


    It's easy to babble like that when it's taxpayer money you're spending,
    leech.

    Utilities, food, insurance and house/auto maintenance takes precedence
    over running the latest Windows/Office code that does virtually nothing
    more for me.

    Win7 and Office 2003 is a great combo that would've take care of me
    forever. I did buy Office 2021 because it was cheap but I don't use it.

    I've donated to Mint multiple times including since my recent use on
    the newer machine, and other FOSS projects.

    Lots of people donate, of course.


    You sure about that?

    "Users have downloaded Luna over 2,000,000 times. Around 99.875% of
    those users download without paying. Of the tiny 0.125% who do, the most
    common payments are the default $10, followed by $1. But again, only a
    tiny fraction of one percent of users even decide to pay in the first
    place."

    Not being from Russia or Poland, I don't have any first hand experience. But it looks like Poland and Russia have had a long history of war with one another. (Still, what the Soviet Union did is not strictly warfare.)

    Well, the Soviet Union did declare war on Poland in 1919 and fought it
    until 1921. The objective was to spread the joys of Communism throughout
    the European continent but we managed to stop them from infecting
    everyone much like we stopped the Muslims from taking Vienna and ruling
    Europe.

    That pretty much sums it up. I gave up watching TV a long time ago. Maybe it would be better for everyone concerned if I put Chris back into my killfile.

    I guarantee you that Ahlstrom didn't bother to watch it and merely
    relied on accounts from the shills at his "trusted" sources like The
    Washington Post and The New York Times. I've looked for errors in what
    Putin said but all of it is verifiable and he's being completely honest.

    Let’s see you provide a written fact-checking report from what you watched.

    I'll take the word of Masha Gessen, a Russian who writes for the New Yorker, over Rabid's ravings. She noted that Putin regurgitated his usual litany
    of falsehoods.

    Also noticed a headline claiming the Putin was surprised to not get many questions from Tucker during his <laughing> "dialogue".

    "It Makes a Fellow Proud to be a Soldier"

    The Army guy on our team got a kick out of it. From Wikipedia:

    "Lehrer was drafted into the U.S. Army from 1955 to 1957, working at the
    National Security Agency (NSA). Lehrer has stated that he invented the
    Jello shot during this time, as a means of circumventing a naval base's ban
    on alcoholic beverages. Despite holding a master's degree in an era
    when American conscripts often lacked a high school diploma, Lehrer served
    as an enlisted soldier, achieving the rank of Specialist Third Class, which
    he described as being a "corporal without portfolio". These experiences
    became fodder for songs, such as "The Wild West is Where I Want to Be" and
    "It Makes a Fellow Proud to Be a Soldier". In 2020 Lehrer publicly
    revealed that he had been assigned to the NSA; since the mere fact of the
    NSA's existence was classified at the time, Lehrer found himself in the
    position of implicitly using nuclear weapons work as a cover story for
    something more sensitive."

    I think Ramaswamy is probably right. They're going to let Biden get the
    votes to win the Democrat primary, then move on to someone else at the convention.

    Ravings... as in? Yes, Trump is a blowhard, but I haven't seen him "rave."

    You mean you haven't seen Trump castigating Nikki Haley for not providing National Guard support during Jan 6? Confusing her with Nancy Pelosi?
    Thinking either of them had the power to do that?

    Or Trump confusing Biden with Obama?

    Or Trump claiming Biden will start WW3?

    Or implying that a general should be executed?

    It goes on and on.

    I have seen that Biden is senile however. How many times has Trump had to be caught up to because he's walking away in the wrong direction? Zero. Happens about every day with Biden.

    Actually, there's video of Trump in a meeting room ready to sign a bill.
    He forgets about it and goes to the door to leave, and has to be guided
    back to sign it.

    As for the Foxy media...

    OK, so that's one of the three reasons given in the article, the other
    two being things that the government can't do anything about. Nothing
    in the article about the relative impact of the three reasons.

    A weak argument, IOW.

    He has accomplished many of his goals, but let's laser focus on one
    that he hasn't, right?

    Edwin O'Connor's 1956 'The Last Hurrah' is about an old school politician, Frank Skeffington, running a campaign against a photogenic young candidate
    who knows how to exploit the new medium of television. O'Connor really
    called the future.

    The movie with Spencer Tracy is worth watching. It's been a while but iirc
    one of the TV spots has McCluskey and his young family all lined up when
    they realize there should be a dog so a gopher rushed out to find a pooch
    to complete the family scene.

    Biden's dogs are problematic; they'd probably attack the cameraman.

    An incompetent cold-blooded murderer? I'm not debating whether or not he
    has eliminated political enemies but if he is stupid enough to be standing there with a smoking gun twice. If nothing else he could have arranged for
    a grassy knoll and a patsy.

    Putin is aware of the value of propaganda and would prefer to be seen as
    the calm, rational adult in the room as compared to the delusional
    Zelensky. I hope Zelensky has good luck with his new general. I think
    sooner or later the military will get tired of dying for the grifter and
    solve the problem in the classic manner.

    Ah, but see, Oswald *did* fire the shot, the second shooter thing is BS,
    the question is what was going on behind the scenes in Oswald's mind. I
    know exactly what it was. He was a failed Marine recruit. But as such,
    a trained sniper. Quite a useful idiot, if you will, for those who
    wanted to keep JFK from getting out of Vietnam.

    Oswald was not a sniper. He made marksman on his second qualification.

    https://www.sandboxx.us/blog/marine-corps-rifle-qualification/

    MARINE CORPS RIFLE QUALIFICATION LEVELS
    “Marksmen” is the lowest score obtained, with a scoring range of 250-279

    “Sharpshooter” is obtained with a combined score falling between 280-304

    “Expert” is obtained with a combined score falling between 305-350

    Not only was he not a sniper by any means there are questions about the
    mail order rifle. It apparently had never been sighted in and the scope
    was defective.

    Then there is the timing question.

    Likewise, on inflation. The cite says "Residential construction costs

    The 2023's rates are 216.6% that of 2019's: an additional $3000/year expense.

    You're not being fair. Your response will be deleted, unread.

    You mean you haven't seen Trump castigating Nikki Haley for not providing
    National Guard support during Jan 6? Confusing her with Nancy Pelosi?
    Thinking either of them had the power to do that?

    Whoop-dee-doo. I'm guessing the question before that was something about Nikki Haley. Unlike Biden, Trump is not senile.
