It’s a shame that Nvidia has no real competition for VR use. If AMD ups their game, I’ll drop Nvidia.

I have refused to use Nvidia for a very long time due to their garbage drivers. That their politics sucks doesn’t surprise me in the least. I buy only AMD for x86 CPUs & GPUs.

Anything else for real computers 😉

AMD is bad for VR due to a video encoder that does not work nearly as well as NVidia’s encoder. I haven’t had a driver issue in a very long time.

This guy lied his way to a good life, rose too high and got caught, then appears to have killed himself. The people who worked for him seem to have been happy, but the lies did him in.

A fire chief under investigation over claims he lied on his CV has been found dead at his home in Birmingham.

Wayne Brown, the head of the West Midlands Fire Service (WMFS), was facing allegations he lied about achieving a master’s degree to secure his £180,000-a-year position.

Police have confirmed that Mr Brown’s “sudden death” on Wednesday morning is not being treated as suspicious.

“The man’s family is being supported by specialist officers and our thoughts are with them at this time,” a spokesman for West Midlands Police said.

Greg Brackenridge, chair of the West Midlands Fire and Rescue Authority, said: “All our thoughts and love are with his family, his friends and his colleagues.

“We ask everyone that his family and his colleagues are given time and space at this tragic time.”

Before his death, Mr Brown was being investigated by his bosses following claims he had lied on his online CV about achieving a Master of ­Business Administration degree from London South Bank University.

The university said it had no record of the degree, The Sun newspaper reported.

The Biden Administration Just Made One of Its Most Important Climate Decisions
Biden is planning to announce a moratorium on new LNG projects. Here’s why that’s such a big deal.
distilled.earth

The chart in the article really blew my little mind.

Over the last few months, the Biden administration has been weighing up what many environmental groups have called one of the President’s biggest climate decisions. White House officials have deliberated over whether or not to approve or block the Calcasieu Pass 2 (CP2) liquified natural gas (LNG) export terminal.

The $10 billion project has been called a “carbon mega bomb.” If built, it would be the largest natural gas export facility in the country, capable of exporting 20 million tons of gas per year. The terminal would increase America’s natural gas export capacity by 20 percent.

Its approval would also set a regulatory precedent for what climate writer and activist Bill McKibben has called the biggest fossil fuel infrastructure buildout in the world. The decision could clear the way for dozens of other LNG projects at a time when climate scientists have said countries must stop building new fossil fuel infrastructure.

Yesterday, the New York Times reported that the administration will ask the Energy Department to evaluate the climate impacts of CP2 before deciding on the project’s future. They are expected to delay their decision until after the election, effectively putting a moratorium on all new LNG projects.

The policy move, which was celebrated by climate activists and environmental groups, signals that the administration might block the massive CP2 project and about two dozen other proposed LNG projects.

As President Biden once famously said, “This is a big f—ing deal.”

To see just how big of a deal it is, let’s put the total emissions of the CP2 project and all proposed LNG projects in context.

As you may be aware, WWE is now merged with the parent company of UFC.

Just two days ago they announced that Netflix is going to be the sole home of much WWE shows, and as time goes by the rest of the WWE stuff on Peacock and other systems globally will migrate their too.

The sale to the UFC parent company netted Vince McMahon a lot of money.

The new merged company, TKO, successfully brings together all the bad actors in the fight business, and of course Trump is their guy.

My mom was a racist, therefore everyone is???

Rep. Jerry Carl (R-AL) said that “everyone has some racist in them,” pushing back on GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley’s assertion that the United States has never been a racist country, NBC News reports.

Said Carl: “I used to work a lot with ministers, and I had some very private conversations. Everyone has some type of racist in them.”

He added: “My mother, who after Pearl Harbor — she couldn’t stand the Japanese. She couldn’t stand them. And it used to just eat her from the inside out. So it’s there.”

That is why YouTube came up with Shorts, to compete with TikTok.

Clickbait is the death of journalism and real communication.

Gavin Schmidt doesn’t help, really, in the video, because he does not push back against the meme of “we were wrong”.

Coward was killed in a car accident, according to local news outlets WLOS and FOX Carolina, citing North Carolina State Highway Patrol officials.

He died on Wednesday in Haywood County, NC, when his Nissan, which was exiting a parking lot, was hit by a pickup truck driven by a 16-year-old.

His girlfriend, Bertha Brooks, 78, and his pet chihuahua and pet squirrel were also killed in the crash. According to WLOS, authorities said Coward and Brooks were not wearing seat belts.

Nepo babies were at one point the center of the cultural zeitgeist. Now, there’s a new category of nepotism for the internet to obsess over: “nepo pets.”

Nepo pets are the fur babies that ride the cat-tails of their celebrity owners’ success and reach celebrity status of their own — as the celeb’s partner-in-crime or even sometimes becoming more popular than their owners.

re: #47 Love-Child of Cassandra and Sisyphus

The bottom line is that most people don’t watch an entire 16 minute YouTube video.

That is why YouTube came up with Shorts, to compete with TikTok.

Clickbait is the death of journalism and real communication.

Gavin Schmidt doesn’t help, really, in the video, because he does not push back against the meme of “we were wrong”.

This is the problem with scientists in ivory towers - they don’t relate to how the masses think.

it’s because they can’t think the way the masses think. It’s why I’m a damned good teacher. Nothing about math is intuitive or easy for me. And yet everything about English is intuitive to the point where they can’t actually make Verbal portions of standardized tests that I find remotely troubling. So when students show up who tell me they just have terrible problems with English, I can empathize, because I know what it is to struggle with a discipline.

that’s how it works. They actually include spelling errors and grammar mistakes in those emails so that they can just go ahead and weed out smart people, who obviously know that Chase Bank is a)not a company that makes subject/verb agreement errors in its press releases and b) doesn’t need your checking account to help it transfer nazi gold, because that nazi gold is already sitting in its cage down under the Federal Reserve.

I go to Ace Hardware whenever possible… locally owned franchises. Fresh eggs and good pork chops in the freezer.

I always patronize my local Ace Hardware when possible. They had a really bad problem with shop lifting (700 grand of losses last year), so it became more annoying to go there on the way back from work (no backpacks, and I really don’t want to leave my laptop in the car). But they have people who know their stuff, and I can often find hardware I can’t at Home Depot, and their Garden center is first class.

been busy at work this week, but wanted to jump on to tell everyone I got a call over the weekend that ended up being a pollster. It was for the California Senate race and I’d call it an Adam Schiff push-poll.

Favorite question: on a scale of 0-10 how would you rate Donald Trump? I almost laughed and asked if I could go with a negative number, but just said zero.

Anyway, felt like a Schiff push-poll because it asked to rate all the candidates and who we would be supporting. Then they gave us some information about the various candidates and asked if we’d be more or less likely to support them or if it would change our vote. All the stuff about Schiff was positive, the stuff about Porter was decidedly not.

oh, no doubt. It’ll be the typical 60-40 Democratic win. But it will also be an interesting test case for how Republicans approach the non-partisan primary going forward. Statewide they only seem to get someone on the general election ballot when there’s an incumbent or there’s only one prominent Democrat running. They’re only chance in an open primary might be to coalesce around a celebrity candidate. But those seem to be hard for them to find.

Chest hair never tasted better!!!

Jason Kelce’s hilarious antics at the Chiefs game on Sunday night have landed him a spot in cookie history.

On Sunday, the NFL center, 36, let out a scream and pulled his shirt off in the stands of Highmark Stadium while cheering on his brother Travis Kelce. The moment inspired Eileen’s Colossal Cookies in Liberty, Missouri, to re-create Jason’s shirtless body in cookie cake form.

On a new episode of Travis and Jason’s podcast New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce, presented by Wave Sports & Entertainment, the brothers discussed the confection — and it’s uncanny resemblance to the dad of three.

“Apparently your antics at the game were so popular with Chiefs fans that there’s already a bakery in Missouri making ‘Shirtless Jason’ cookie cakes, and it’s pretty damn good,” said Travis, 34.

Story dated yesterday evening. Gaetz is not in the clear. Too many Republicans hate him.

The House Ethics Committee investigating Rep. Matt Gaetz has reached out to the woman whom the congressman allegedly had sexual relations with when she was a 17-year-old minor, according to a source familiar with the committee’s work.

The outreach, which has not previously been reported, is a sign that the GOP-led committee’s investigation into the Florida Republican has recently expanded to include questioning around allegations of sex crimes.

Sources said the committee also has reached out to the Justice Department requesting materials from its investigation into Gaetz, which included allegations of lobbying violations, sex-trafficking and possible obstruction of justice. The federal probe, which also included allegations he had sex with a minor, concluded in 2023 with no charges brought against the congressman.

Gaetz has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing, including ever having sex with a minor or paying for sex.

“Those allegations were not true, have never been true, and the people who spread those lies have been exposed, indicted, and imprisoned,” Gaetz said in response to CNN Wednesday.

The Ethics Committee’s outreach to the young woman and the Justice Department comes amid a new flurry of activity in the probe, including outreach to multiple other witnesses and starting to conduct witness interviews. The increased activity under Republican leadership is notable given the committee probe was started by House Democrats in 2021.

And let us not forget lovely Nikki’s time on the Boeing board:

While serving on the board of Boeing in 2020, GOP presidential candidate and former South Carolina governor Nikki Haley helped kill an initiative designed to force the company to more comprehensively disclose its spending to influence politicians and safety regulators, government filings show.

The Boeing board’s opposition to the shareholder measure came the same year that the company was lobbying the Federal Aviation Administration on “certification,” or approving planes to fly — and the agency lifted its grounding order of the company’s 737 fleet, which had been in effect since two of the airliners had crashed in 2018 and 2019, killing 346 people.

The Arizona Republican Party has pulled the plug on their upcoming “Freedom Fest” event after former President Donald Trump, who was set to headline the gathering, ditched it to attend to legal matters in court.

The event was scheduled to take place in Phoenix. Per local reporter Brahm Resnik, EventBrite still had tickets on sale for the event for some time after Trump bailed, although they slashed the price multiple times.

The festival wasn’t explicitly a Trump campaign event; however, a number of people who paid for tickets to the event may have done so primarily to see him speak.

Jones: Texas Should Secede With Musk As President

Now claims the Declaration of Independence allows Texas to secede. These guys are like the fire-eaters of the Civil War era. Going on and on about how the Federal government was not listening to them, and was going to take away their rights and that free and fair elections made the government illegitimate if it did not do exactly what they wanted and how the only thing left was to secede.

And that any secession would be great. It would result in a grand era of riches and wealth.

All so wrong. Sam Houston gave a great speech from a Southerner’s argument against Secession. He actually had many of the same views as Lincoln in 1860 (that the Union must be supported at all costs). He just came at the views from a state’s perspective rather than a Federal view - the same sort of debate the US has had from the beginning.

He felt that the best way was to work within the Constitutional boundaries and that if Lincoln went off the rails wrt slavery, that the Constituion had ways to deal with it.

But in the speech, Houston talked about the fire-eaters and accurately spoke of how their grand view post-seccession would not work.

Deprived of the protection of the Union, of the aegis of the Constitution, they would soon dwindle into petty States, to be again rent in twain by dissensions or through the ambition of selfish chieftains, and would become a prey to foreign powers.

Still holds today.

It’s time to resurrect…Today’s Episode Of…STUPID TREK!

A 47-year-old Texas man charged with storming the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, told the FBI he had no idea what kind of business went on in there, according to a newly unsealed complaint filed in Washington, D.C., federal court.

However, Duong Dai Luu, who documented the riot with cell phone video of ransacked offices and MAGA-hatted selfies, said he probably should have known he wasn’t supposed to be on the premises.

“Luu was unable to describe the function of the Capitol building, but admitted that he recognized that it wasn’t good to be inside the building as it was the property of the government and that he was not allowed to enter without permission,” a member of the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF) wrote in an affidavit.

Luu, who does not yet have an attorney listed in court records, was arrested Thursday in Houston. Multiple calls to Luu’s phone—which was what ultimately outed him to authorities—rang through to voicemail.

I think it’s time for Dr. Frankenstein and Igor to go to the Political Graveyard and shock Teddy Roosevelt’s Bull Moose Party back to life!

My hypothesis is this: the Wall Street/Main Street business critters would rather have stability than be ruled by nutballs. There are things they want to get passed that are just sitting there. They will make common cause with moderates in the Dems (ie Third Way Dems) to pass pro-business legislation. And will allow liberal social legislation as long as it does not really impact profits. The GOP goes the way of the Whigs.

This creates a Democratic super party but one that can now ignore the progressives.

This leaves the white working class/ rurals hanging, until the progressive wing reaches out hard to them in order to balance the moderate Dems. Things like two years of free college/training, infrastrucure upgrades to better support WFH economies, etc.

The Democrats now fracture and we again have two parties - a moderate one and a liberal one. The question for me is how many election cycles will this take. It happened relatively quickly in the late 1850s and early 1930s. Hope so this time.

re: #193 🐈 Crush White Nationalism 🐈

Why would they insist on losing the general election? The Republican party is so broken.

my guess is that the present thinking among Republicans is that Trump is the only one that has a path in the electoral college. I think they’ve come to accept that they can’t win the popular vote (considering they’ve won it only once since 1988), so they know their only real path is someone who can win at the margins like Trump did in 2016.

The problem is that Trump now actually has a record to run on, and any time the election has been a referendum on his record, they have underperformed or just flat out lost.

A more cynical view is that they know they can’t get past Trump until he is thoroughly defeated and if he loses the EC twice in a row, and the popular vote three times, that might be enough to break the spell.

It’s a presidential election, and Trump will be on the ballot, don’t need to worry about turnout in California. We’ve had turn out over 70% in every presidential election since 2000. Last time it was over 80%. Where turn out is an issue is in the midterms (despite our statewide elections being those years)

Also remember Dodds. And the SCOTUS will rule on mail-order abortion drugs before the election. And also on the ability of Executive branch departments to regulate anything without specific authorization by Congress (ie so specific drugs can only be approves by specific legislation from Congress, not to mention Clean Air and Clean Water).

There will be lots of reasons to show up.

Ticks me off that there are three Democrats on the ballot that could split the vote and let Mr. I Can’t Keep My Twinkee In My Pants squeak thru.

In the general election, there will only be two candidates, so that scenario is not a threat.

The top two primary in CA screws over the good guys if 2 bad buys are the top two in the primary, leading to an R vs R race in the general. The chance of that happening for CA-SEN is extremely remote.

Boeing, not Spirit, mis-installed piece that blew off Alaska MAX 9 jet, industry source says

JFC. Apparently Boeing’s own records show that 4 critical bolts to hold the door-plug were not installed when the plane was delivered!! How many other QC defects flew under the radar (pun intended ;-)?

They were installed when the plane was delivered, but not put back when the plane went back for repairs and the plug was removed. (Although it’s being reported that there are lots of issues with bolts on Spirit’s deliveries.)

Boeing has a full order book for 737 MAX (nearly 4000 at the moment) and the previous MCAS fuckup plus COVID-19 stovepiped the delivery schedule. No delivery, no multi-million dollar bank transfer. Boeing is rolling out a complete 737 MAX daily now and checking that some unimportant bolts aren’t in place or torqued down to spec and then fixing the problem could slow down those bank transfers oops I mean delivery of complete certificated and properly inspected totally safe to fly multi-million dollar bank transfers oops I mean airframes. The first D check inspection in a couple of years time will catch the missing bolts anyway. Ship it! (and ignore the rattling noise from behind that panel).

Chip Roy Tells Texas to Ignore the Supreme Court

So, using this same logic, the state could defend itself against any minority simply by saying so. And if one starts to ignore the Supreme Court here, why obey them anywhere?

This shows the further degradation of the SCOTUS and its reputation. I would really like to see how big these tough guys are if the National Guard members there are ordered to leave and the Border Patrol surrounds the park, not letting anyone enter or leave. What if the Border Patrol just takes posession of the boat ramp needed by the Coast Guard to perform its duties?

they cant say the court is ‘rigged’ - it’s mostly their people
but it’s the same as the election was stolen argument
we didnt get the result we expected so…how do we get what we want

because that’s what it’s all about - ‘getting what we want’

if the election, if the voters, of the courts, if the jury agrees with us, then great. we have cover - the appearance of legitimacy.
if not, we’re still gonna do what we want anyway

rules and ‘the system’ are for suckers. (unless we win)

‘Preposterous’: Federal judge decries efforts to downplay Jan. 6 violence, label perpetrators ‘hostages’

Said Judge Royce Lamberth, a Reagan appointee: “In my thirty-seven years on the bench, I cannot recall a time when such meritless justifications of criminal activity have gone mainstream.”

He added: “I have been shocked to watch some public figures try to rewrite history, claiming rioters behaved ‘in an orderly fashion’ like ordinary tourists, or martyrizing convicted January 6 defendants as ‘political prisoners’ or even, incredibly, ‘hostages.’ That is all preposterous. But the Court fears that such destructive, misguided rhetoric could presage further danger to our country.”

It’s a 737 Max-9, a fuselage stretch of the first 737 MAX, superceding the -8 stretch over the original model MAX. Last I heard Boeing were offering a -10 stretch, not sure if anyone’s ordered or receiving them yet.

Boeing in Washington state complete final assembly and inspection of all 737 MAX airframes. They should catch missing bolts and other manufacturing faults even if Spirit has messed up (which they shouldn’t do anyway). I’d guess the rush to get billable product out the Seattle factory door and into the hands of repeat customers like South West Airways means that not all boxes are being ticked properly on the inspection checklists.

Yep. The same mentality that destroyed McDonnell-Douglas is doing the same here. In some cases it is the same people. I believe tha under the old Brin, the 737Max would have been presented as a whole new plane. Instead they took the cheap way out and bolstered it onto an old airframe. The guy who made that decision - Boeing’s first CEO with no aviation experience - James McNerney

To my mind, Boeing’s huge mistake was in forcing Alan Mullaly out and putting McNerney.

They need an engineer at the head of the company. The current CEO is an accountant.

Unfortunately, the creator of Invincible appears to be a piece of crap corrupt businessman.

A legal battle between comic creator Robert Kirkman and an artist who says he was tricked into abandoning his copyright to Invincible has settled.

Lawyers for Kirkman and William Crabtree, a colorist for the first 50 issues who claims he co-created the series, notified the court of an agreement to resolve the case, according to a notice of settlement filed on Thursday. Terms of the deal weren’t disclosed. A jury trial was set to start Feb. 20.

The legal battle revolved around claims that Kirkman duped Crabtree into surrendering his ownership stake under the guise of making the title easier to sell to studios. The 2005 agreement stated that Kirkman was the “sole author” of Invincible and “owner of all rights of every kind and nature,” while characterizing Crabtree’s contributions as a “work-for-hire,” meaning that Kirkman was assigned any rights the colorist would’ve had to the series.

Jones: Texas Should Secede With Musk As President

Now claims the Declaration of Independence allows Texas to secede. These guys are like the fire-eaters of the Civil War era. Going on and on about how the Federal government was not listening to them, and was going to take away their rights and that free and fair elections made the government illegitimate if it did not do exactly what they wanted and how the only thing left was to secede.

And that any secession would be great. It would result in a grand era of riches and wealth.

All so wrong. Sam Houston gave a great speech from a Southerner’s argument against Secession. He actually had many of the same views as Lincoln in 1860 (that the Union must be supported at all costs). He just came at the views from a state’s perspective rather than a Federal view - the same sort of debate the US has had from the beginning.

to be again rent in twain by dissensions or through the ambition of selfish chieftains, and would become a prey to foreign powers.

I believe tha under the old Brin, the 737Max would have been presented as a whole new plane. Instead they took the cheap way out and bolstered it onto an old airframe.

They couldn’t. South West Airlines only operates 737s, they have about 750 of them and all their pilots and first officers are qualified to fly 737s, and they weren’t the only short-haul airline looking for thousands of modernised 737-shaped flying blobs. The MAX was sold as a new 737 with the front-office crew able to upgrade their certifications for the MAX based on a one-hour iPad tutorial and exam. A “new” plane would mean new certifications, new ground-handling gear, a lot of expensive time and effort for the airlines and Boeing couldn’t sell them on that idea hence the MAX with the killer MCAS system.

The Airbus A320neo does all the things the MAX does, just about and it’s not designed to kill everyone on board if a minor part fails unlike the MAX but it’s not a 737 so SWA isn’t interested.
