I'm an amateur birdwatcher, and I love that app! Gambel's quail: We have many quail couples living in our yard, and their babies just hatched (one set is still pending). When it looked like I might die from cancer, I had thought about coming back as a quail in our yard, to watch over my wife and kids.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia & Trump El Salvador deportations thread.
jerryskids replied to squistion's topic in The Geek Club
I guess I needed to say it, but he has a stay of deportation to El Sal. I don't particularly agree with sending somebody from El Sal to, I dunno, Somalia? IMO we should deport people to their country of origin, but not prison in that country. It should be easy to find a non whackadoodle-progressive judge who recognizes that he's too old to be forced into a gang, and his mom and family have left the country (which was the alleged leverage the gang had), so there is no reason not to deport him back home. -
Are you proud to be an American, Squissy?

Tim isn't filth. He's perhaps misguided often, or more accurately, he formulates a Leftist opinion (despite being a moderate) and weaves a story to support that position. His belief in Hamas Harry that Israel is systemically killing civilians trying to get aid is an example. But I agree with the opposition to sending him to an El Sal prison. We shouldn't send anyone to such a place (say, Gitmo) without strong evidence that that person is a threat to our nation. Garcia is just a POS who beats his wife (allegedly, according to his wife multiple times) and traffics illegals (allegedly again). Either prosecute him or undo his stay of deportation; such stay seems unnecessary at this point. -
Looks awesome. In!

Israel attacks Iran UPDATE: Trump claims a cease fire among all countries
jerryskids replied to Frozenbeernuts's topic in The Geek Club
If it's not by accident, then it is by definition systemic. See #2 below: Like I've said, you want to be gaslit on this, so I don't think this matters. It is odd though that Mr. Moderate who loves to have his receipts can't find a single person in Gaza with a camera on their phone, but chooses to believe DropDeadHamasLoverNews and Hamas Harry from Al Jazeera. Carry on. -
Only small, contained societies can make a form of socialism work.

I don't expect civilian video of a remote military nuclear development complex. I do expect video of repeated, systemic shooting by IDF of civilians in densely populated cities. HTH -
Several SCOTUS decisions coming out today.....
jerryskids replied to Strike's topic in The Geek Club
I said there has historically been some misogyny in engineering. That being said, if it helps you to get the win you so desperately crave, I'll concede that there is probably still some misogyny somewhere in an engineering company. Actually, and I'd appreciate @Strikeor @Ron_Artest's opinions on this, since I think they are closer to it: the most misogyny and racism I experienced in tech was in the IT field. While I didn't work there, my wife does (well, she's a business analyst), and it seems to me that Indian male managers hire... pretty much only Indian men. Funny you later said this, because I was already planning to add: the biggest societal/behavioral disincentive for women in engineering is that the other girls in HS and MS treat the "geeky" girls like shiot. Girls want to fit in and be cool, but the "in" girls treat the nerdy girls like social pariahs. This may be changing somewhat in (very) recent years, but less than a decade ago when my daughters were that age, it was certainly the case. -
You should scroll down to one of the top comments. Also, the girl in the green dress was badass!

Maybe they can't figure out how to upload them to the interwebs, like every civilian in the Gaza Strip. Or maybe you doubt that we dropped those bunker busters? What says DropDeadStupidNews? -

The gutterworld scenario is the scenario in that report. Not much damage, and they'll have a nuke in a few months. HTH ETA: I just added some enabling details with the cranes and dump trucks. -

Well, if he did have them, your traitor hero wouldn't leak them, so we'll never know. But good to know you believe the Gutterworld scenario. -

jerryskids replied to Frozenbeernuts's topic in The Geek Club
What i heard was that they had 17 reports of obliteration, and somebody leaked the one report. With low confidence, that it wasn't obliterated. But it was a right leaning source and I don't have a link. I would suggest you save your ire for the traitor who hates Trump enough to leak such intel, but you probably consider him a hero. That being said, I don't particularly care to debate if it's completely obliterated or almost completely obliterated. What I don't think will happen is my Gutterworld scenario above, which is basically what the low confidence leaked report said. -

Did I say that? All politicians lie. In Gutterworld, Iran is going to send a convoy of cranes and dump trucks to Fordow, neither Israel nor the US will find out, and they'll make a nuke by Labor Day. -

I trust that Trump has better data than you do. -
Bless your heart. Maybe the International Criminal Court has those videos of the IDF shooting civilians that you can't seem to find anywhere on the interwebs.

If "it" meant the charges, he basically said the same sentence twice. That's clear to you? -

jerryskids replied to squistion's topic in The Geek Club
Lol? It seems to me there are the following outcomes: 1. He is tried, found guilty, serves some time, then when he is released, gets deported. Highly doubtful that his prison time would exceed Trump's term. 2. He is either not tried or not found guilty or serves no time, in which case he gets deported. I don't see a reasonable outcome that keeps him from being deported. How do you turn this into a Lol-level possibility that he would flee? -

This seems to be Squissy asserting that the domestic abuse definitively didn't happen. Squissy ignores me because I biotch-slap him in discussions like this. @TimHauck, can I get a ruling on my conclusion? -
Several SCOTUS decisions coming out today.....
jerryskids replied to Strike's topic in The Geek Club
You didn't address a single point I made. You merely reaffirmed that it is OK to you to have 2.2X the female acceptance rate to attempt to right a perceived yet unsubstantiated wrong to a population (females) 40+ years ago. Good job, good effort. -

Well, a few things. One, it is true. https://hxstem.substack.com/p/the-mit-gender-admissions-controversy Two, your historical premise is false. I was admitted in 1985; my class was 33% female. At the time they had started their first attempt to DEI-wedge a 50/50 class, as each subsequent class had 5% higher females. This carried on into the 90s, when they finally realized they were destroying their brand as the school for the top technical minds. So the pendulum swung back, and then back to DEI again. The latest court cases against such behavior are still working themselves out. Three, I would argue that 33% was already too high. As I stated, women just aren't as interested in engineering as men. That's a stone cold fact. On top of that, what percent of girls fits an MIT persona? Think captain or robotics club, already started a tech company, world ranked in chess. There just aren't that many.
