Leland said...: Finally caught the latest Joe Rogan interview of Elon Musk. I know Joe really wants to believe the X-files. Elon answered the way I've always thought of the issue of possession of alien technology. If we had it, then why isn't anyone using it? I remember saying, "I bet NASA has alien tech and not telling anyone". I kept thinking, if NASA had it, we would have better than a Space Shuttle built on 1970s technology.

Sexy unhinged Grok is interesting, but still not enough to make me join X. I don't need more distractions in my life, and the combination X and Grok seem like a bad idea.; 3/10/25, 6:38 PM

rehajm said...: Since it is once again a talking point, yet another reminder that 10% corrections in equities happen about twice a year during normal times, ie not when washington is fire hosing extra trillions of dollars everywhere, much of which ends up in equity investments, for some strange reason. 20% corrections are rearer but still not something worthy of the armageddon talking points. The other point to remember is government spending counts towards gdp so when good people are hacking away at the swamp it’s going to be reflected. Think of it like an Obama eat your vegetables moment Democrats…; 3/10/25, 7:45 PM
rehajm said...: The Rolex I’ve been pecking away at for a few years came really close to being a runner today, so close I cleaned up tje case and dial/hands. alas it wasn’t meant to be. I have to regroup again when the new parts arrive…; 3/10/25, 7:46 PM

“1970s Bigfoot film vibes”

I’m now hearing “Sunrise - 7:07, 7:20, 7:22.” in Leonard Nimoy’s “In Search Of…” voice.; 3/10/25, 7:56 PM
Scott Patton said...: Here I come, yeah, look at me now

Lem Vibe Bandit said...: I don't know if someone has posted about an issue I'm having, commenting with my iPhone. While composing it, if I look something up on a new page, when I come back, my comment is gone, swoosh, as if I had never started it.; 3/10/25, 8:31 PM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: The Atlantic: "Trump Drops the Mask"

All this time Hitler had a mask. How could people tell it was Hitler? 🤔; 3/10/25, 8:42 PM

I always compose my posts here in iPhone notes, and then copy and paste to the teeny tiny comment entry box.; 3/10/25, 9:01 PM

Gospace said...: Any of you commenters regretting yet you subjected yourself to the mRNA shot for covid? Or the other similar one? I'm not regretting it- because it was obvious from the outset it wasn't going to work, so I didn't get one, and have nothing to regret.

Also obvious from the outset that all the mitigation measures being FORCED upon us- unconstitutionally, were useless. Now, finally, PhD's are writing books pointing out that indeed, the mitigation methods were, in fact, useless. And predicted to be useless as they claimed to follow the science.

Jeff Childers at CofffeeandCovid dot com today referred to a NY Times article discussing the newest book length mea culpa, titled In Covid's Wake: How Our Politics Failed Us explaining how the policies were wrong. Well, not quite a mea culpa, they're not apologizing for supporting the measures themselves, they're just saying that it seems now they were wrong. I don't think the people who wholeheartedly approved totalitarian methods to fight the virus will ever be able to forgive us who were correct. Me? I'd like to see some of the perps dangling from a lamppost...

The authors did an interview available here: https://undark.org/2025/03/07/interview-in-covids-wake/

I'm almost ashamed at my generation for falling for the propaganda- 95%+ of people my age, now 69, succumbed to the propaganda. And judging from the "friends" who unfriended me, a significant portion wholeheartedly approved of totalitarian measures and forced isolation of the populace if it might give them an extra day of life. Living in fear is not living.

It would only have taken a few percent of the population to do things like I did to break down corporate America. Being kicked out of a store for not wearing a mask- pushing a full cart of refrigerated and frozen stuff at the manager- "Have fun restocking it!" and leaving. If 5% of the population had done that, even once, that idiocy would have been stopped dead.

I do have to admire the skateboarders who shoveled out a skateboard park after town supervisors filled it with sand. And if you want to know why new voters are much more conservative now- they were subjected to such idiocies. Basketball nets being removed, then the hoops themselves. Outdoors, in the sun, where it's healthy to be. For people of any age. I could go on and on- but then, you all know of similar idiocies perpetrated in your own areas.; 3/10/25, 9:23 PM
