Get me to the data...post a link to the data so people can verify.. .the date..... 20 years ago. 2004. Lol.

See eveyone? He even contradicts his own bullshit.

Wookie claims the image is useless shit unless someone provides his lazy ass with 'a link'...and then immediately references part of it as authority data to bitch about.

Wookie's Schrödinger's Evidence Standard: Whichever Wookie can claim to demand that preserves his fantasy 'real estate expertise' or shuts down all challenges to said bullshit, even when both options contradicts the other.

I'm just curious, why does anyone have to defend, or validate some useless stat he found on the internet somewhere.
Do you trust every stat you come across? I sure as hell don't. At best they should be posted for commentary and critique, with or without the data.
Which data is only information that a biased person stored somewhere. Just look at every AI platform for Christ sakes. It's all useless biased "Data".

The only Data you can trust is your own experience and nothing else.

If the FBI releases stats that says violent crime is the lowest it's ever been, it means shit, if you, your loved one or neighbor was just a victim of violent crime.

You got it the other way around. He's the one who demands that of others.

I agree. But not WookieMan. Especially when his investment in crafting a bogus Housing Expert of PatNet rep is threatened by a single comment that calls out the bullshit.

Posting a graphic and a link to the source data are two different things. I don't care if it says it was from XYZ Agency from 2004. Show me the data from 2004 also known as 21 years ago. Irrelevant. This is what he posts.

I do get your point, but when you're making a point about something with 2004 data, no link to the data, no updated data, you're 100% untrustworthy. This is the shit the media does. I could find shit from the 1950's to prove a point, some map or graphic, but it's 75 years old....

That's my point when I ask for links. If I can get the data I can prove the faults in it and not just accept it to be true. Posting bull shit on the internet is bad for society. Fact is that map is obvious. BLM, Forestry and National Parks. You can still live on it as well. https://www.blm.gov/programs/lands-and-realty/leases-and-permits#:~:text=The%20BLM%20issues%20leases%20and,assembly%20yards%20and%20well%20pumps.

It's not like the land is off limits. Just stupid regulation hoops to jump through. The East is already populated and most of the West would be unrealistic to populate. Again, another useless graphic that is common knowledge with no link. Not you 10#

Yet you turn around and use that datum AS FACT because its convenient for you to do so:

Then ask Patrick to delete all your posts, then. Stop being a hypocrite.

See? He's doing it again. He discredits the map because 'no link is provided' but then refers to the map as an authoritive source to a point he's making...while bitching when others do the same.

Question is: Is he doing this on purpose or it's just a product of magical thinking that goes on in his head that he isn't even aware is happening?

Worse than in China.

Dial up internet is dead now? Telegraphs were still able to be sent as late as the 1970s.

This is echoed in marriage vows; "In sickness and in heath . . . "

A large part of the problem today is neopagan philosophies. Pagans believed that the sick and the deformed were being punished by the gods for whateverthefuck reason and should be shunned and left to die.

Christians triumphed over paganism largely because they followed the Corporal Works of Mercy: feed the hungry, tend to the sick, etc.. The scamdemic was a textbook example of how far our nation has reverted to paganism. The sick were the problem - this is pure paganism.

Well actually the scamdemic made everybody “the problem”. And the only solution was to stay away from everyone until they could inject you with an experimental biological agent.

Oh and if you had to be near people everyone including the healthy had to wear a mask that doesn’t filter out viruses, to protect everyone from viruses. It made perfect sense.

Craigslist would be second on that list were it public.

I don't know since they started charging to post. CL in all 3 counties in South Florida only has about 6 or 7 posts and most are over a month old. Cars and Housing section does OK I guess. And any sections that does have a smattering of daily posts. They are the same reposts going back as far as 8 months ago.
I remember when CL South Florida on most all sections would scroll for several pages for each day.
I was just looking in the Community section to see if any No Kings protests are planned around my area. I wanted to drive by and heckle their dumb asses. But every community section is a ghost town. Politics doesn't have one single post on the whole page. \

At this point MySpace is more relevant today than Craigslist. At least some people still talk about MySpace.

God. Whenever I see a reference to MySpace that Tila Tequila song pops up into my brain:

I ain't tryin' to fuck ya man
lookin' at my myspace, lotion in his hand
when he look at you, he be thinkin' 'bout me
Take your Benz back bitch now I got the key!

The post shares a sepia photo of a 1st-century BCE Roman lead boiler and pipe system from Villa della Pisanella in Boscoreale, Italy, preserved intact by the 79 CE Vesuvius eruption, highlighting Roman engineering ingenuity.

This hypocaust boiler, used for underfloor heating in elite villas, demonstrates advanced hydraulics with solder joints and valves, akin to contemporary water systems but reliant on wood-fired heat.

Excavations in 1904 revealed the villa's luxury features; peer-reviewed analyses in the Journal of Roman Archaeology affirm its rarity, with calcium carbonate linings likely reducing lead leaching health risks.

It's almost as if we went to total race-neutrality, most of the political problems would fix themselves.

I heard it was 3.7 cents cost per penny, not 37 cents.

Every state split in half by population – the densest half and least dense half.

That’s BS

How so? Looks right to me.

Now that map is bullcrap. About 3/4 of the state lives in the yellow part of Florida.
Especially when you consider there are only 3 other metros besides that and none of them are as big as Dade, Broward or WPB.
The center of the state is practically empty.

Facilities just sent me an email asking why the server room temperature is set to 62°F.

They said it's "excessive" and they want to raise it to 68°F to save on cooling costs.

I replied with a six-paragraph email explaining "thermal load balancing," "equipment MTBF degradation," and "catastrophic failure risk."

I cited a "study" that showed every degree above 65°F reduces server lifespan by 15%.
There is no study. I made that up.

But I CC'd the CFO and said if Facilities wants to take ownership of a potential $200K hardware replacement due to overheating, they're welcome to adjust the temperature.
Facilities backed off immediately.

Here's the truth: the servers would be fine at 70°F. Data centers run hotter than that all the time.

But I like the server room at 62°F. It's the only place in the building where I can go to cool off and get some peace and quiet.

Plus, now I have an email chain proving that I "advocated for infrastructure longevity" while others wanted to "cut corners."

Technical decisions are rarely about what's right. They're about who's willing to use more jargon.
