Umm, so contract law no longer applies in SF? Good to know.
115619   Hircus   2022 Apr 18, 4:46pm  

I would imagine this new law will further increase the cost of rentals in SF. Adding more requirements, and especially legal complexity, will intimidate competing landlords, resulting in less competition and higher prices. Not to mention that it straight up adds to the cost of business.

Maybe Veritas, which according to the article is the biggest landlord in SF, wanted this legislation? Seems a large company can deal with this type of stuff better than small scale landlords, giving them an advantage. Any additional costs are probably easily passed onto the renter, so an increase in the cost of business can be desirable if it increases their costs less than it increases the cost of competitors. Well, unless maybe rent control or something interferes.

Hahahaha, why would anyone invest there?


I don’t know why anyone who has any wealth to protect or to grow would ever live in California. The entire point of the state legislature is finding out ways to strip you of every single dime not hidden in a rubber condom shoved up your anus.

In fact, the white libs are usually the snobbiest, most racist, loudest mouth cunts in any demographic. Can't stand white liberals.


some of those are moving into Caldwell, buying huge mansions there. i don’t think theyll last there, the place is red as hell. people have FJB stickers even.

This chapter of the Doolittle Raid has largely gone unreported—until now.

Not so. I remember studying the Doolittle raid back in the late 70's, to include the Japanese revenge on any Chinese they suspected of hiding or aiding the airmen. The Japanese also executed any Doolittle raid crewmen they captured.

Ignoring the complete bullshit of the global warming scam, real motive reducing US to third world country and gaining control of all forms of energy production, destroying the planet being a side benefit(?), but probably just an arrogant oversight.

This is a great example of the negatives new technology brings with it, along with the positives. Have these new forms of energy really improved our lives? Starting to see the point of the Amish more every day.

A lot of lard-asses need to go back to the pre-1800's energy production methods.

Renewable energy sources are at the center of the ongoing energy transition.

What does renewable mean? Some say most 'Renewable' Energy Sources Aren't Really Renewable...That being said, is renewable just another of those made up words to make you feel good? Are all the materials needed for wind and solar energy generation renewable? Does the manufacture of these products cause pollution?

Similarly, a complete shift to low-carbon sources requires massive investments in natural resources, infrastructure, and grid storage, along with changes in our energy consumption habits.

Changes in your consumption habits can start today at no cost...All the climate change promoters have a great opportunity to change their habits and save the world without spending a penny. So what are they waiting for?

Finally signed the contract for two lots... God help me. The next year or so of my life is going to be fucking insane. Building a house and having to be hands on with a $2M renovation for the board I'm on with all women is going to be nuts. I've basically became a general contractor.

They wasted time at MIT for this?

I think it's quite obvious that the cream would HAVE to be stuck to one side of the wafer more strongly than another, it it doesn't always cleanly come off on one single wafer. Sometimes it's more firmly attached to one side on one portion, and more firmly attack to one side on another portion, and it splits (unevenly) but it does.

This is practically an intuitive problem.

Ukraine has a far bigger border with Russia though.

Correct. If all those AGW types would just unplug their dryer and use a clothesline, they would collectively save tons of carbon.

Remember - Tulsi is a WEF Young Leaders graduate. I've posted about this before. She may well be practicing what in Islam is referred to as Taqquia, or lying until you are in power.

People need to ask her hard questions about WEF and her weird cult-like religious associations. Get her on Rogan or similar.

One side is held in place and the other side is twisted away, leaving the creme on the stationary side.

This only indicates that even one of our best universities ... MIT ... could possibly be overrated? Or worse, they're advertising their rheology group because much of its work is obsolete.

First of all, I have a degree in Applied Chemistry/Chemical Engineering; the creme in an Oreo cookie, at room temperature, has the properties of a Bingham fluid/plastic.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bingham_plastic?source=patrick.net

So if one applies the force of twisting one cookie, keeping the other stationary, until the force hits a certain threshold, the creme itself does not 'move' and thus, the cookie piece breaks off and you have the observed result.

The only way to avoid this is to heat the inside of the cookie to a threshold so that it behaves more Newtonian and then, the two halves of the cookie behave the same even if the shearing stress is only applied to one side.

No, that is like saying "I punched you 3 times and you did not raise a fuss. Why the problem with a 4th punch?" Also, Russia sees Ukraine being stealthily inched toward NATO as a real threat. Know why Putin annexed Crimea? Be cause otherwise he was seriously looking at a NATO naval base at Sevastopol.

Crimea has a huge Russian military base on it. Russia didn't move troops in there, they were already there. Crimea was given two referendums. The first was "stay with Ukraine or not?" - they voted to leave. The second was "be independent or join the Russian federation?" - they voted to join Russia.

I'm sure the voting was, well, perhaps a bit rigged (every election is) but both had international observers.

My business partner is from MIT. He hates the school. He says the only thing about it is that they work students to death, they don't actually learn anything more, they just have more work.

I am not going to argue about the properties of the filling of an Oreo cookie or its reaction to being twisted as I'm an EE and hate chemistry and CE. From a physics point of view, if the twisting motion is FAST enough, I think it would make a difference as to which wafer was stationary and which wasn't, but given I've not had one of these filthy confections in at least 20 years, I'm not certain if I kept one side stationary and the other not. I don't think I did, and really, I don't care about the results and don't think the research was very useful. If they wanted to test carbon nanotube plastics, test carbon nanotube plastics.

Analogues in science are interesting, but it's an ANALOGUE. They just verified a simulation. Who cares about the result of that? Nobody.

The filling of an Oreo is nothing more than Crisco (some hydrogenated oil anyhow) and sugar. Mmmm-mmmm! It's like bacon grease plus sugar. Yum yum.. If you don't believe me, pull out some fat that is solid at room temperature and mix it with granulated sugar. They are absolutely the same, although bacon would impart a flavor. Maybe you'll like it? I've tried this experiment, in college.

https://wikispooks.com/wiki/Tulsi_Gabbard?source=patrick.net

From the link:

Gabbard took her oath of office as a member of Congress on the Hindu religious text, the Bhagavad Gita[10], and she generally follows the Vaishnava-Hindu sect and its sub-school, Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, the latter affiliated with the Science of Identity Foundation. In many ways, Gabbard follows in the tradition of Stanley Ann Dunham Obama Soetoro, who joined the Indonesian-based Subud movement founded by Muhammad Subuh Sumohadiwidjojo. Subud and the Society of Identity Foundation found an important base of operations in Hawaii. More importantly, these religious sects acted as fronts for intelligence agencies. For the Society of Identity Foundation, it is the Indian Research and Analysis Wing (RAW). For Subud, it was the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency and the Indonesian Operational Command for the Restoration of Security and Order (KOPKAMTIB). Intelligence agencies have long relied on cults for field testing of psychological mass control techniques and political infiltration. Two examples of CIA-directed cults are the Peoples Temple of Jim Jones and the Chinese Falun Gong. The Unification Church of the late Reverend Sun Myung Moon also had significant links to the CIA and the Korean Central Intelligence Agency (KCIA).

Just as Israel’s Mossad influences the operations of Jewish cults abroad, including the Chabad Movement, India’s RAW, particularly under the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party of Modi, maintains close links with various Hindu extremist groups and overseas sects. These include the Hindu organization, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). RSS opponents accuse it of being the armed paramilitary wing of the BJP, much like the Irish Republican Army (IRA)is the armed component of the Sinn Fein nationalist party of Ireland and Northern Ireland. Just as the IRA has carried out assassinations of British politicians, the RSS has chalked up a number of assassinations, including that of Mahatma Gandhi in New Delhi in 1948.


The above site is suggesting that she is a "limited hangout":


Tulsi Gabbard's profile page featured in the collection of “Young Global Leaders” at the World Economic Forum site has been removed in March 2022. Gabbard was also removed from the ‘People’ section of the World Economic Forum’s website, after her March 2022 controversial stand publicly revealing Ukraine's 35 U.S. funded biolabs, and calling for a ceasefire to secure them before Russia takes possession of dangerous pathogens stored at the sites or destroys them. [56] On March 13, 2022, US Republican Senator Mitt Romney accused Tulsi Gabbard of treasonous lies, for revealing the existence of the Ukraine's biolabs, calling for her arrest,[57] while Gabbard countered and called for Senator Romney to resign.[58]. What's important however, and the key to understanding Tulsi Gabbard, is to separate out the attacks on Tulsi Gabbard as well as her responses in defending herself, as political theater, and focus solely on her words. Is she revealing the correct narrative on the biolabs, or a part of the narrative designed to create a limited hangout, defined as revealing a part of the truth that's less damaging, while hiding and obscuring the most damaging aspects, by distraction, through her fight with Sen Romney? As an example, it appears Ukraine's biolabs may be connected to Pfizer and Tulsi Gabbard has extensively promoted the Pfizer COVID vaccines and mRNA pills. If Pfizer stands to lose $billions with the loss of the labs, it makes sense for Tulsi to call for a ceasefire and their defense to secure them, to save her benefactor, as a possible explanation and motive for her involvement. However, the allegation of Tulsi's financial connection to Pfizer for campaign financing is yet to be proven. Are there other narratives which explain the true purpose of the labs, that Tulsi hasn't revealed or has left obscured? Tulsi Gabbard argued that Ukraine's 35 biolabs contain dangerous pathogens like Ebola, Smallpox, and Anthrax, but assures the public that the work of these labs is beneficial for humanity, however they must be protected so that these pathogens don't fall into Russian hands, as an angle for calling for a mutual ceasefire[59][60]. Meanwhile, Zelenskyy countered that the biolabs are working on bioweapons after all, and not merely searching for cures for disease, by suggesting the lab's bioweapons be used on Russians.


If you have a link to her interview on Rogan, I'd be interested to see it; specifically about what was asked but not answered, and what was not asked. Thanks in advance.
