Do you have good engineers yet in America?
I was listening to a compilation of old top gear episodes where they talk about American cars.
Only slightly interested in cars at all but the 3 guys are good.

I notice a theme off American cars having shit handling around corners and bends. Fair enough. You haven’t got any.

But then also the theme of massive big motors, and then you get less horsepower than a small European city car. 6L V8 motor and it makes like 180 horsepower.

Right

And it’s not about some pig watching pornography, it’s about CHILD VICTIMS beings enslaved and sexually abused by sick disgusting elite pigs AND further loss of trust in our government.

Sorry, it needs to be said.

I’m not believing what we’ve been told. If TRUE, then why is Maxwell in Prison?

_'Tis but thy name that is my Enemy:
Thou art thy selfe, though not a Mountague,
What's Mountague? it is nor hand nor foote,
Nor arme, nor face, O be some other name
Belonging to a man.
What? in a names that which we call a Rose,
By any other word would smell as sweete,
So Romeo would, were he not Romeo cal'd,
Retaine that deare perfection which he owes,
Without that title Romeo, doffe thy name,
And for thy name which is no part of thee,
Take all my selfe.._1

But when it comes to class and class interest, and acts in those interests, Shakespeare's no help.

_The Ladson were large plantation owners and wealthy merchants in Charleston, and owned hundreds of slaves until slavery was abolished in 1865. James Ladson served in the American Revolutionary War and became lieutenant-governor of South Carolina, while his son James H. Ladson was part of the Charleston oligarchy that was influential in launching the American Civil War. The President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen, who lived under the name Rose Ladson in her 20s, is a descendant of the family through her American great-grandmother._2

And then there's the Bremen branch and the Hanse3..

_son of the wealthy cotton merchant George Alexander Albrecht (1834–1898) and Louise Dorothea Betty Knoop (1844–1889). His father was the owner of the company Johann Lange Sohn's Wwe. & Co.; his mother was the daughter of the major industrialist, Baron Ludwig Knoop, one of the most successful entrepreneurs of the 19th century Russian Empire.... From 1896 to 1901, he lived in London, Moscow and the United States.... In 1902, he married the American Mary Ladson Robertson (1883–1960), who belonged to a prominent planter class and slave owner family from Charleston_4

No, the EU does not represent ordinary europeans.

Muslims support the perpetrators 😡
A trial is underway of two violent Muslim male suspects in Manchester, England who attacked and injured police in July 2024. They argue it was self-defense.

One unarmed female officer was beaten in the face, having her nose broken. Police body camera footage shows the officer bleeding and screaming as backup arrived.

Left-wing politicians and Muslims expressed support for the Muslim family at the time. Some Muslims even rioted outside a police station in Rochdale. minds.com/newsfeed/17903306801…

Are all #ISO #auditors this fucking dumb or is it an act, to lure you into oversharing, revealing your process dirty laundry?

Srsly this guy (once again, 4/4 new auditor in as many #certification audits/inspections) is asking fundamentally basic questions that make me think "have you... ever... engineered anything in your life before? why are you an auditor."

Like explaining what a jira workflow is... or what a branch/merge strategy is. Fuck's sake.

Before I retired my coworker and I used to love our auditors. Love fucking with them, that is. Seriously, made our day sometimes, and we especially loved fucking with the new greenhorn auditors that just graduated college and got hired by Toilet & Douche (Deloitte & Touche) and we were their first assignment.

We didn't have ISO audits but we did have SOx-404 audits. (Sarbanes-Oxley.)

So many auditors were left crying and questioning their life's choices after we got done with them.

We never had a deficiency in the 17 years I was in my position, even after Deloitte (and their auditors) were told to find deficiencies that it looked bad that we never had any.

Then there was the time Compliance wanted to audit my PKI so they brought in some auditors from E&Y. Supposedly their top PKI people. Brought on a consultant for that since I was confident in my practices and implementation but I didn't have the same air of "authority" as someone who made a living doing PKI audits and PKI consulting.

Still passed with flying colors even after the E&Y auditors tried to claim that everything we were doing was bullshit.

I hate auditors. Love fucking with them, but hate them none the less.

Edit:

AND YOU'RE RIGHT ABOUT THE OVERSHARING. I used to tell new employees when they came into our group: Treat the auditors like you would the Police.

Never divulge ANY information unless specifically asked for.

Never lie, but don't tell them anything.

And never let them take your evidence away with them. They want to see evidence, they can look at it on your screen in your cube. They can take notes. But they can't take anything physical.

@gme Damn, sounds like fun.

I would love messing with our auditors, but save for the one guy we had up to 3 yrs ago when he retired who actually _knew_ shit, it seems like we always get idiots.
Or maybe they're experienced in a hardware engineering concern and know what a BOM is, might know what "change control" means, but start talking software development and its like you're speaking martian. And heaven help you if you're an agile shop, it breaks their brains.

For us, most of our important backend systems were UNIX, Linux, and Mainframe. When I retired in 2022 we were well on our way to moving stuff to Windows but we would never be able to get completely off *NIX or the Mainframe and it was fun to see these auditors that had no idea was a Mainframe was, what an LPAR was, JCLs, /etc/sudoers, or *NIX permissions for files and directories, trying to make their square pegs fit into our round holes.

They'd come at us and tell us they've found all these deficiencies and we'd show them how their methodology was flawed and how there weren't any deficiencies, or they were inserting control parameters into our SOX controls where none existed.

Every year we got audited. Sometimes the same auditor would come back for a couple of years but the vast majority were stupid greenhorns who couldn't navigate the command line.

The fact that all of our processes were automated (and auditable) really made things simple for us too.

..........

BOM? Going to take a wild guess but is that a Bill of Materials?

..........

And oh doggy did we have change control. Ran the complete gamut where every tiny change had to be documented and approved. Which naturally slowed everything down and made the entire department less productive.

To when I left minor changes still needed to be documented but the approvals were much more streamlined. It was mainly honor system but everyone knew if you implemented a change and marked it as minor and it took something down or caused an outage you were going to have to get in front of the entire change advisory board the following week and explain why your "minor" change caused the outage (with the idea being that maybe it shouldn't have been a minor change to begin with.)

If we did real history, we'd write about the counter-revolution to put women back in their place after the 1900s-1920s. Women made huge, huge progress, then there was a backlash. But it wasn't about sex, so that was no fun to talk about. The Futurism art movement list putting women in their place in their manifesto.

Jetzt, wo jeder wie Orban, Putin oder Trump mit harter Hand regieren möchte, kommt die sonst Nie-Wieder-skandierende Regierung daher und erlegt juristisch Bürgerrechte und Menschenrechte unter dem Denkmantelchen der Sicherheit und Moral und dem Ziel der Zusammennarbeit mit Rechtsextremisten in Länder- und Bundesparlamenten..

Entmenschlichung wird durch die Drohnen noch weiter vorangetrieben - zum Videospiel:

“This technology has made killing much more sterile,” H. said. “It’s like a video game. There’s a crosshair in the middle of the screen, and you see a video image. You’re hundreds of meters away, [sometimes] even a kilometer or more. Then you play with the joystick, see the target, and drop [a grenade]. And it’s even kind of cool. Except this video game kills people.”

Das was in dem Artikel beschrieben wird ist - so deutlich muss man es sagen - die Beschreibung einer Einsatztaktik, die aus dem Begehen von Kriegsverbrechen besteht, als völlig alltäglichen Verhalten der israelischen Armee.

Da gibts nicht den Versuch irgendwelche legitimen militärischen Ziele zu erreichen - da gehts darum, dass die Existenz von Palästinensern in einem bestimmten Bereich ausgelöscht werden soll. Das ist eindeutig genozidales Handeln.

Globally in 2024, there were 132 million births and 62 million deaths, a population increase of 70 million people. Worldwide deaths are 73 million each year. 61%/yr end in abortion. Russia had over 200 million abortions since 1960; 9 million in UK. In 2024, there were 1,038,100 abortions in US. 1973-2020 65,464,760 abortions in US. Infertility rate grows. War deaths since 1900 is 187 million. I don't how it pans out, but imo, humans do their own population control.

Why the Christian Reaction to the Theory of Evolution Is Misplaced

I'm always surprised by the reactionary nature of the Christian response to the theory of evolution. Presumably, they're so reactive because they believe the (((atheist))) lie that evolution disproves The Bible.

However, evolution does not disprove the biblical creation story, in fact, the story of creation in Genesis and the story of the evolution of the cosmos (including the evolution of Man) offered by . . . stormfront.org/forum/blogs/u15…

Today I learned about 'rabbit starvation' and how Neanderthals avoided it.

When you're a hunter-gatherer and it's winter, you may try to survive by eating only meat - like rabbits, but also deer and other game. But this gives you too much protein and not enough carbohydrates and fat: most of this meat is very lean. If you eat enough lean meat to get all the calories you need, you can die from an overdose of protein! It's called 'protein toxicity'.

Hunter-gatherers in this situation sometimes throw away the 'steaks' and 'roasts' - the thighs and shoulders of the animals they kill - or feed them to their dogs. They need FAT to survive! So they focus on eating the fatty parts, including bone marrow.

So, in some cultures, while the men are out hunting, the women spend time making bone grease. This takes a lot of work. They take bones and break them into small pieces with a stone hammer. They boil them for several hours. The fat floats to the top. Then they let the water cool and skim off the fat.

There's been evidence for people doing this as far back as 28,000 BC. But now some scientists have found a Neanderthal 'bone grease factory' that's 125,000 years old!

This was during the last interglacial, in Germany. In a site near a lake, called Neumark-Nord, Neanderthals killed a lot of bison, horses and deer and crushed their bones, leaving behind tens of thousands of small bone fragments.

This would be great for lantern flies, etc. Absolutely not for hornets, carpenter bees, wasps, and so on. Laser attachment is separate.🙄

It got good reviews. It all comes to about $72, plus taxes. It's a lot for plastic, imo. I'll still look around. Lantern fly population is growing, and they are fast little buggers.

I got one (without the laser) when they first came out and I still use it every day during the summer. Works great on flies, but yeah its not wasp medicine.

Shoot at aluminum foil to see the pattern it throws. Using the sights matters! Ideal max range is about 1 yard from the muzzle, approx the length of the gun itself. Add in the length of your extended arm and you get almost ten feet total.
