Border chaos is now sparking a war among Democrats, with some, like New York Mayor Eric Adams, suggesting the migrant wave may “destroy” the city. His critique has been repeated by much of the border state Arizona Democratic delegation, as well as Independent Senator Kristen Sinema. But if sensible Democrats know the game is up and want to stop the flow, others, like Chicago’s ultra-progressive Mayor Brandon Johnson and Leftist members of the New York City Council, denounce Adams and others as xenophobic acolytes who are mouthing “repugnant Maga garbage”.

If you don't want to watch all of it, just watch the first presentation by Simon Michaux.

Michaux is like the James O'Keef of greentard bullshit. He is not popular with the greentard grifting crowd.

Well, looks like Twitter is calming down and getting back to the normal stuff:

New Kentucky school bus routes a 'disaster,' prompts class cancellation as last kids arrive home at 10 pm some soaked in urine.

They need Patrick to chart out the route like he does for grocery stores.

Odd, since routing algorithms are a mature technology and several companies rent product out by the month, cheap. Must be something like a severe driver shortage combined with a large area district. Or the route was done by a Buttigieg style hire.

And in Frozen 4, it will be revealed that they are trans. Just a guess.

AI isn't that bad, programmers are that bad.

A good programmer would never try to sell you their better algorithm as "Artificial" or "Intelligent".

AI is not here to help nor is the 20,000 person troll farm that curates and censors the content.

I used to never lock my manual car. I knew no one could drive it... lol. The people that "could" steal/drive it weren't the type to steal cars. Lets put it that way.

No file chosen

5 years ago the 'claim' that she was a mechanic wouldn't hold water with me either.

Now that we have DEI, however...

I always tell people who are concerned that their popular car might be a target, "The greatest antitheft device for vehicles is the manual transmission."

That doesn't help hybrid, EV, AT, CVT.

Holy fuck! I've been bitching about this FOREVER. Not here necessarily. Talking about work is not work. You have a job, do your fucking job. You should know what to do and not talk about it with other people that can't do your job. If you suck, you get fired.

Fine maybe a 15min Monday chat, but hour or two long meetings multiple times a week is absolute bullshit. My wife generally works from home. She puts her meetings on speaker. I want to take her phone and dropkick it into a pond. It takes away time from her generating sales. The idiots on the other end of the phone I want to punch their throat so they can't talk because they're so dumb. They can't do her job and they just talk about her job. They don't even have a fucking job without her.

It's why I could never do a corporate job. I'd just skip the meetings and probably get fired. Just keep it to quarterly meetings that are longer and stick to short meeting to "check in" at the beginning of the week and let people work.

I bet she was really miffed when the 'fidget stick' ejaculated all the way back to her.

Just how Heinlein described in Starship Troopers ( the book)

Might just go in a speedo for fun. We'll see the temps. I don't need the town seeing shrinkage though if it's cold.

I am going at 6am though before the losers wake up. I might try to vote for other people.... lol. I know illegal. I might though is all I'm saying. Hair is long, go get a cut and vote again. Then shave and vote again. Geezers run my polling place, I could easily pull it off. 3 votes. And I know the idiots in town not voting.

Biggest key is dragging the elderly out or voting for them. Not a joke. I'm not leaving the country, but I won't live under a Harris presidency. Shit will happen. SHE WASN'T EVEN FUCKING ELECTED TO RUN!

Was there someone in there?



30 day warranty won't cover this:

Was there someone in there?

Probably. I wouldn't do it along a highway, but I dump and run at construction sites somewhat frequently. Always keep a roll in the car.

That was a display of straight up shitty driving by the pickup truck.

Hit & Run asshole runs a red light and finds out:

Good.

Aside the fact that the math just doesn't work for HST in 99% of America, there is this:

Why doesn't it work? Tracks for high speed trains too expensive to build?

Patrick says

Why doesn't it work? Tracks for high speed trains too expensive to build?

Economically and just practically, the math doesn't work.

Just like there isn't a thriving bush plane sector in Europe & Japan, but there is in Alaska, Australia, Canada & parts of Brazil & Africa.

It's about population square densities per unit of geography you need transportation across. See bush plane regions per above. For HST, see Japan, Eastern China and Europe.

It can thus be used in certain high pop density corridors in the US. Like Florida, BoshWash, California and Texas. But new rail separate from the existing freight-based system are needed in each case. And that involves right-of-way purchases that can be horrendously expensive.

And, then there is the competence issue. Nuff said.
