nobody

Surprised Bitcoin still battling 90ish k. Although I guess tech is slumping too.

Preaching the choir here. That dude is all the worst parts of every bad politician. But there's an army of squistions out there that will get him elected because the consulting group he hired told him to act like trump and they'll eat it up.

I wonder where the "unless you got power" guy is these days.

Cam Newton butthurt they didn't call him. Must not have watched any of his own games the last 4 or so years he played.

Back in the day, before I found the oasis private bathroom, I used to have an issue with dudes always picking the stall next to me so before going in my stall, I'd activate the lock on the door of the stall next to me and then kind of pull the door shut. It would essentially lock the stall. Then on the way out, I would kind of give it a shoulder check and it would open right up. The locks aren't meant to stand up to the Terminator. Really just there to let the people know it's occupied. Man, one time some dude came in and started trying to force the door open. He wasn't willing to really hit it so he didn't get it open, but then he does this weird laugh and goes in another stall. Like, bro, wtf? You going to wrestle with some door just to take a dump next to me? Just take one of the other 5 stalls a-hole. Hate these dudes. They get in there and start doing lamaze breathing and like they're giving birth and shìt.

I almost never take a dump at work in the bathrooms with multiple stalls. I walk way out of my way to go to a private bathroom because in my experience people are animals and I don't want to take crap next to them. Well today, my choice was shot my pants or go to the big bathroom. Started off okay. Then guy comes in and must've been doing coke or something. Gigantic snorts/sniffs every 10 seconds. And then the disgusting loogie hocking every 60 seconds or so. Then another guy comes in. Of course he goes straight to stall next to me out of the 10 stalls. He must have down syndrome or something because it sounded like he was dry humping the toilet paper dispenser within three seconds of entering the stall. All you have to do is reach under and pull the toilet paper. It's on a roll and just spins. Can get as much as you need. It sounded like he was trying to tear a hole in the dispenser and pull it out from the top or something. Then, mercifully, I hear the tp rip off. I'm thinking he's going to lay it out on the seat or something, but he starts pissing in the stall, so I maybe he didn't want to touch is dìck or something. I don't know. Thank God he was gone soon. Then one other person came in and just took the far stall. Took a dump, kept quiet and then left. So two out of three came in and had to be animals. Why is it so hard for people to just go in, be quiet, take a dump, wash your hands thoroughly and bounce? It's like a zoo in there.

Seems like they threw a bunch of money at ICE and they don't know what to do with it. These upkeep on these planes would be astronomical. They'll be sold to spirit airlines as soon as Gavin takes office and cuts ICE down to the bone.

https://www.cnbc.com/2025/12/08/trump-nvidia-h200-sales-china.html Trump opening China for NVDA. Originally both the US and China prohibited the use of NVDA chips in China. US because they were worried about military use and China - ever the open and fair trade partner - wanted to steal NVDA IP and home grow a chip source. This deal is for the H200 chips (previous version), and they are only supposed to be to approved Chinese companies. But this is China. They'll definitely resell them to whomever they want.

Thought of another show. There's this unassuming high school chemistry teacher that finds out he's got terminal cancer, but he wants to make sure he leaves something behind for his family, so he partners up with one of his ne'er-do-well former chemistry student and together they start fumbling their way through making drugs. He's an excellent chemist, so his drugs are excellent, but he isn't good at dealing, so his ne'er-do-well partner has to handle that, but our science teacher gets pulled further and further into the drug world. Eventually he embraces it after he realizes it fulfills his ego being a genius chemist but never really getting the recognition he thinks he deserves for that while his former colleagues all enjoy massive success. Oh and he drives a Dodge. The show is called The Dodge Drug Dealer.

Thought of another show. A scientist gets hit with gamma radiation and then afterwards when he gets mad he turns into a giant green rage monster accept even though his normal self struggles with the destruction he causes as the monster, in the end his scientific brain as his normal human self coupled with his virtually indestructible monster self becomes a force for good. Oh and I'll have him drive a mitsubishi. The show will be called the Mitsubishi Monster.

I'm to going to create a show about this guy who's good at engineering that is supposed to solve crimes and he gets out of all these jams by improvising gadgets out of stuff he just finds lying around. Oh and you I'll have him drive an Elantra and every episode I'll have him driving somewhere in his Elantra. I'll call the show The Elantra Engineer.

I watch it, but I don't understand why he had to be the Lincoln Lawyer. Yes I know that he drives a Lincoln and he did a lot of work out his car, but in the show he had an office and took a couple of calls from his car like that everyone does. Seems the could've just called it The Lawyer and nothing really changes.

And let's not forget that plane blew up at Mach-10. That's debris going Mach-10. That is probably stretching over a debris field 300 miles long. Put this guy in jail. That sh¡t could kill someone.

I could go on. Let me know if you want to know why Rooster would never fly another plane in the military.

In the opening act of Maverick: Top Gun, we see Cpt Pete "Maverick" Mitchell living a quiet peaceful life in what appears to be an abandoned Naval hangar where he is maintaining what appears to be a replica of a P-51 Mustang WWII era fighter. But then he pulls his iconic bomber jacket out of his locker which is in one of those protective suit bags for some reason. Similarly he reveals his iconic motorcycle which is under a tarp for some reason. Now the needless unveiling of these throwbacks to the original Top Gun are not why he should be in jail even though it makes no sense given that none of the other vehicles are protected and it appears based on his relationship and the calendar that flashes up that he works quite closely with the crew, but let's assume he only breaks out the special jacket and cycle on flight days, and give him a pass. No the reason he should be in jail is he defied a direct order from Admiral Kane, who his team refers to as the "Drone Ranger" because he wants to use the funding for a drone program. Maverick convinces the team to run the planned test anyway with the intention of pushing past the planned checkpoint of Mach 9 and going to the contract threshold of Mach 10. Cut to much later in the day as night appears to be falling, and Kane is at the gate. Maverick is warned that "you know what happens to you if you go through with this," and Maverick replies, "I know what happens to everyone else if I don't" Let's pause here for a second. They never expound on what actually would happen to everyone else, but let's consider that. If everyone else means the project team, it is very likely they all get new jobs elsewhere. If everyone else, means the world, the implication is that this jet going Mach 10 is somehow key to saving the world which I would argue is nonsense given that the need for speed (hehe) is mitigated by the fact that the US has strategic air bases all over the world and can be on any target within hours, so this notion that somehow this test is for the greatest good is debatable on the surface. Admiral Kane shows up to the test (by himself which is odd) and orders the team to terminate the test. At this point Maverick feigns radio disruption and disregards the order. His team then becomes complicit in this criminal activity and substantiates the lie about radio trouble with a lie that would have been easy to prove incorrect from a technical standpoint, but also moments later as Maverick is passing Mach 7, his team reports that they are receiving telemetry data which would be on the same comm frequencies as voice data. A few minutes later as he pushes past Mach 9, Maverick exhibits signs of mental distress as he says to himself and the flight recorder, "talk to me Goose," indicating that he is distracted by the tragic accident which took his radar officer's life decades ago. At approximately Mack 9.7, Maverick denotes "wind shield hot caution" obviously indicating structural integrity of the aircraft may be degrading. Eventually Maverick does hit Mach 10 presumably satisfying the necessary criteria to stave off "what would happen to everyone else" if he didn't disobey orders whatever the fock that was. Maverick, however, does not stop there with mission accomplished. He pushes the plane further to Mach 10.1... 10.2... until eventually the display lights up with massive amounts of warnings and he has to eject. The result? A destroyed plane putting lives at risk needlessly due to fallout from the wreckage. So let's recap: Disobeys direct orders (presumably for some greater good that he made up) Puts lives in danger, including his own, by recklessly causing a plane to crash in an unknown part of the country as maverick demonstrates when he asks what state he is in when he gets to the diner. Destroyed a multi-million dollar aircraft for fun essentially since the parameters were clearly set and met to stave off this tenuous assertion of doom he alluded to earlier And not only was he incredibly, incredibly reckless for no reason whatsoever by continuing past Mach 10. He was WRONG. The unmanned aircraft program is a better use of military budget than a hyper fast plane. The point of a Mach 10 plane would surveillance and hyper fast penetration into enemy territory to put energy on targets while potentially outrunning enemy air defense. But let's take those 1 at a time. Surveillance can be accomplished with satellites and drones The utility as an offensive threat with speed as a defensive capability is limited because you would have to slow down to deploy a weapon, and given the aerodynamics and fuel necessary to hit those speeds, the payload capacity would be extremely limited An unmanned aerial vehicle program would be much more utile to the military. It's more cost effective as those would be much cheaper, easier to deploy and maintain, they would have higher payload and loiter capabilities to give it similar response times, and it wouldn't put pilots in danger. It's clearly a superior investment. The Drone Ranger was correct in his assessment! And to be frank, the entire mission that Iceman cooked up was BS. A B-2 could've performed that mission easily, but even if you disallow for that and accept the premise that the F18 was the only platform capable of carrying out the mission, our military has a mixed fleet for a reason. If you need the F-18s to perform the bombing, you would have surely paired them with 5th gen fighters to cover their escape. The conclusion? Iceman cooked up the mission for the sole purpose of saving Maverick from going to jail. Maverick should've went straight to jail after the Darkstar debacle which was entirely his fault and premeditated.
