You might like the audio and book stuff of “Advanced Bird Language” by Jon Young. It’s kinda the next level past seeing cool birds. 

So, Birdpocolypse? Birdapalooza? 

At least we may have the pleasure that they also won’t be doing anything meaningful to themselves if someone else is setting them up.

And p’rolly badass too, just like the pic.

National service programs doesn’t mean combat ready. You can’t get out of discipline and basic training even if yer gonna run a logistics desk. Or something. 

Put Covington on a resume watch list? Easier than individuals.

Though in no way similar in effect, Gore Vidal’s interview in Vanity Fair with Tim McVeigh back when had the same thing. He admitted he “learned” his response to what he called injustice from the one cultural powerhouse in the country. The government and their responses to situations they didn’t like (violence.)

Grass is green, her hat is green, therefore her hat is made of grass.

It’s the same mechanism as the missionaries coming to Hawaii to save the natives from damnation, except those families ended up owning all the land. And business. And culture. I guess it’s just like colonialism except applied at a modern meta level.

Don’t comment here much so sorry for grayness. I was intrigued with the directives being outlined by the government (who did not write a single word of it and simply got convinced by a [the only?] non-partisan think tank in DC to endorse it.)

And don’t forget the little FASB change at the same time that allowed a bank to leave a foreclosed asset on the books at it’s original value until they disposed of it instead of when they foreclosed on it previously. Oh, how convenient.

Just reflecting. I had a serious case of Male Answer Syndrome where any question had an answer, whether I knew what I was talking about or not but I sounded good!

I do believe that in the past (maybe not so much now) this has been part of the problem (for unions.)

Yah. I’m reminded of a very old joke my father told me.

There was an old book about programming called Peopleware (DeMarco/Lister) and then a follow on book called Slack by DeMarco. Both were good reads in my mind, but Slack had something I hadn’t seen before.

Ah, the original Palm Pilot. Totally retro.

20 years in Hawaii here, and I’ve not just seen roaches in equipment but geckos and their eggs in there. Haven’t torn apart a single tower that didn’t have egg cases and a fried gecko in them.
