Once upon a time a new species evolved that thought itself very intelligent.

But this new smarty pants species had a terrible blind spot. It couldn't figure out how to stop shitting in its own nest.

It wasn't a problem at first, because when the new species filled it's current nest with shit, it would just abandon the shitscape and start someplace new.

But soon enough, the new species covered the globe and had nowhere else to create new shitnests. The species wound up drowning in its own shit and went extinct.

There was much rejoicing from all the other species that had figured out how not to shit in their own nest.

They never thought the new species was very intelligent to begin with.

The End.

Amid Florida’s Measles Outbreak, Florida Surgeon General acts unethically and unprofessionally [I changed the headline] https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/23/well/family/florida-measles-outbreak-joseph-ladapo.html

You don't need to be a scientist or public health expert to know that this is absolutely bonkers.

Children with measles, an incredibly infectious disease, should not be going to school or wandering around making those who cannot vaccinate sick. They can permanently disable someone.

So this person went ahead and depopulated a Nintendo Switch Lite PCB, soldered a wire to each pad that had a component and then ran a program to determine what is connected to what. To make the result usable, they took a 6000dpi photograph and made the result available as a boardview file. I know nothing. https://usoldering.com/switch-lite/ #pcb #reverseengineering

Why are there so many programs to get discounts on e-bikes when there have never been programs (that I was aware of) to get equivalent discounts on regular ass bikes?

This is a rhetorical question.

I like e-bikes but I still like regular bikes too. My favorite bike was about $400. Some of these coupons are giving you $1K off an e-bike that costs $2.5K.

So like. Can I just get a free non-e-bike and keep the $600? Of course not.

Really grateful for GitHub allowing me to post my data broker opt-out lust.

Apparently Google doesn't like me redirecting my page (that was erroneously flagged as potential abuse) to a page on my paid account, where the exact same info has never been flagged.

Remember, voting for Biden also means voting for the experienced, talented, ethical team he's brought to Washington.

Do you remember the massively incompetent, corrupt, and anti-government cronies and thugs Trump brought the first time around? And how many of them are now in jail?

From (declassified) Secret CIA report: The Soviet Foreign Propaganda Apparatus: A Research Paper (9 December 1985). #propaganda #russia

The Tack of credibility of their news and information is the most serious problem for the Sov)iets. One of the ways that they combat it is through repetition: they present their propaganda on a particular theme through a number of outlets, both overt and covert, hoping that each will add to the credibility of the other to produce a convincing story. They also use the foreign media as a vehicle for their propaganda, hoping that, by doing so, their ideas will gain the Western media's credibility. Soviet commentators, particularly since Gorbachev became General 2% Secretary, have been appearing regularly on the foreign media to present the Soviet version of issues and events.‘

Fantastic -- if super-distressing -- article by Gisele Navarro about the horrible state of product reviews online

The tl;dr is that Google seems to overweight reviews from longstanding big journalism brands ...

... but many of those brands, like Popular Science, were long ago bought up by private equity or conglomerates, then hollowed out ...

... so they now produce crappy articles that are probably lying about their "test labs" to please Google

Examples of Minimization often seen from Democrats defending Biden's policies:

1. Comparing Covid to a cold or saying the pandemic is over
2. Ignoring Biden's difficulties processing information & describing it as occasionally forgetting names
   3.Denying the power of the presidency denying Biden is responsible for current government policies.

Hmm, that seems like a bit of a glitch--remind me to never wear a t-shirt of a pickup truck being towed down the street: "Waymo recalls and updates robotaxi software after two cars crashed into the same towed truck" https://techcrunch.com/2024/02/13/waymo-recall-crash-software-self-driving-cars/?guccounter=1 #robot #cars #Waymo
