This video is made by a group of people I watch regarding the Forgotten Civilization hypothesis. The end of the last ice age, and what caused it, are the main topics they are concerned with. So tracking climate is an integral part of that idea, and they weighed in on the climate change thing. Pretty much what this video says, they just get into greater detail.

The reason Rockefucker Foundation wants to focus on global warming is simple, Create artificial scarcity for their primary business product, oil, drives prices up, produce less but sell it for more, means more profits over a longer period of time. Good business strategy if you have zero ethics and don't care about how you affect the global population, and if there is one family on this planet that defines psychopathy it is the Rockefuckers.

Linux Audio Skipping


If you're running Ubuntu 22.10 or later and experience skipping of audio under wine, this issue is something fuxored with pipewire. Removing it and letting pulse do everything returns the system to operational audio. I've got 8 core i7-9900k clocked at 4.9Ghz and 32G of RAM on this box and audio was skipping with only Firefux, a few ssh and mate terminal sessions and wine running Winamp. This was a problem both after upgrading from Ubuntu 22.04 to 22.10 and again from 22.10 to 23.04, and in both cases removing everything pipewire and then rebooting fixed.

A Small Victory


Kaiser Permanente, which currently is my medical provider, has been requiring masks even though the law here no longer requires it.

I stated, the best studies show masks, and then only the N95 ventilator types, not your common cloth or painters masks, are at best 1-2% effective at preventing the spread of covid-19.

I stated the studies show that masks also INCREASE the risks of bacterial infection.

I got a letter today stating that they had considered my arguments and have elected to drop mask requirements except in the cases where local jurisdictions require them by law.

It's a small victory to be sure, but it IS a victory and one I wanted to post to encourage you, to fight for what you know is right and bring an end to this tyranny.

요새 학폭 뉴스가 많이 나오고 있는데 친구랑 얘가하면 이 극단적인 학폭이야기 나왔는데...

가해자 아빠가 검찰 인데 가해자 이렇게도 얘기 했네:

이러한 피해를 진술하는 주변 학생들은 정씨의 언행에 대한 비판도 쏟아냈다. 한 목격자는 "원고가 평상시에 계속 아버지 자랑을 하며 '내 아빠 아는 사람이' 등을 언급하곤 한다"며 "'검사라는 직업은 다 뇌물을 받고 하는 직업이다. 내 아빠는 아는 사람이 많은데, 아는 사람이 많으면 다 좋은 일이 일어난다. 판사랑 친하면 재판에서 무조건 승소한다' 등의 발언을 했다"고 주장했다.

이야기 전체가 아주 흥미로워서 아래 링크 봐..

Everyone predicted this - eventually they would be begging the police to come back.

No matter how woke you are, you eventually need safety. Nobody wants to live in chaos.

The major problem for blue cities is that they will never erase the tension that exists between the politicians and the police because the politicians will continue throwing cops under the bus so they do not have to take responsibility for the fact that 'law & order must exist' and their power base actually resenting this fact.

Absolutely hard to keep up with internet posting these days but I'll make the effort when I can.

Anyhow...

The man returned to the scene in this story - pray for the soul of the deceased boy, and for the man who is going to prison. Of course, he has done something reckless and terrible, but he returned to face the music, like a man.

Let him be punished but also pray he is reformed.

See about 7 minutes into this video.


Many of our supposed elected officials and some appointed have not taken the appropriate oath of office and sworn allegiance to the constitution and therefore are unqualified for the positions they hold. This is a non-trivial portion of our government.

BRICS and the so-called death of the US Dollar IS BULLSHIT, Here is data, and here is why!


The dollar has fallen about 30% against the Brazilian real but only about 1% against the Indian Rupee, has remained essentially steady (within 1% over 25 years) against the Chinese Yuan,and has gained 4% over the Russian Ruble, so the data does not at all support the conjecture of a doomed US dollar. I assume you are some investor asshole trying to pump your gold and silver assets up. The reason it can fall against Brazil is because the Brazilian economy was fuxored and is gradually recovering.

The reason it hasn't fallen or changed significantly with India or China is because we are their largest export market by a factor of about 400% over their next largest trading partner in both cases and it isn't in their financial interest to let it fall.

The reason it's gained against the Ruble is that our economy is larger than Russia's so while both are hurt by this stupid proxy war in the Ukraine, the Russian economy has been hurt ever so slightly more.

So while DemonRat spending has undoubtedly not been a good thing for our economy, there is NO real world evidence that the dollar is in immediate danger of collapse. China and and India are the worlds two largest economies after ours and we are their largest export market for both, consisting approximately of 80% of their exports in both cases, and if they allow the dollar to slip much relative to their own currencies, they lose 80% of their export market, they aren't likely to allow that to happen.

I will be performing a kernel upgrade tonight starting at 11pm, expecting to finish by 11:30pm. Expected downtime for most services less than ten minutes, yacy.eskimo.com may take as much as 45 minutes owing to the rebuilding of the database after reboot.

This upgrade will affect all of Eskimo North’s services, shell accounts, UUCP, e-mail, web hosting, mail lists, and virtual private servers.

It will also affect our free services, friendica.eskimo.com/, hubzilla.eskimo.com/, nextcloud.eskimo.com/, and yacy.eskimo.com/.

Is It Even Legal


I received an e-mail from Adam Schiff trying to solicit campaign contributions. What is particularly odd about this is that I am in Washington State NOT Californicatia. Is it even legal to solicit campaign contributions from people you do not represent?

At any rate, my response was rather impolite:

What you and your but fucking friend from Germany, Klaus Schwab, are trying to do to the world and our country is unacceptable. Please fuck off, go rot in hell, and do not ever contact me again.

Do I feel bad about that level of impoliteness? Well perhaps only to the gay community for associating them with Klaus Schwab though he kind of made the
association and really I just acknowledged it.

Zombie


I'm wondering what is being depicted with the children-zombies in gold, are these kids drained of adrenochrome?

A number of thoughts:

1. Don’t create a rule you can’t enforce. Unless they go into every home, one by one, they don’t know if you have a gas appliance other than a stove.

2. Natural gas is the one energy source they cannot stop the flow of. So they have to ban its use.

3. Natural gas is the one fuel that burns clean enough to refute the green agenda, so they have to ban its use.

4. Natural gas is the one energy source we have in abundant supply, so they have to ban it’s use.
