    Thanks OGC!

    Good set. Shows what will happen if the shepple elect these charlatans.
    The only way to stop it is with education which is so sadly lacking at this point, and with turnout of voters that understand what is at stake.
    Now if common sense does not prevail, what are our options? I am getting to where I will probably run out my string - but what about my son and grandchildren? He talks the same way I do, but he has more years to try to navigate.

    Just curious as to thoughts....

    I agree. Mainstream media are still promoting the "evil white man" fraud.
    In every tv series and movie that has a villain responsible for the crimes
    of the moment, the criminals are almost always white men, with an
    occasional token white woman thrown in "for balance." Sure there are
    minor criminals of other races, but they always have an excuse provided
    by the writers like being raised in a 'bad neighborhood'. Illegal immigrants
    are always portrayed as innocent victims by Hollywood writers.
    They didn't mean to be criminals; it was just their environment. Note also
    that a majority of departments in police dramas are headed by 'people of
    color' as are mayors of major cities.
    (Whoopie Goldberg as mayor of NYC? That's almost believable now .;^)
    When there is a white male mayor, he is always corrupted, while non-white
    mayors are always models of ethics and integrity.
    Bright tv detectives of color regularly chide their white male partners for their
    stupidity. Notice that characters exhibiting racism are never black or Latino?
    TV commercials produced for large companies add to the cacophony of lies
    showing couples with brilliant women and slovenly men.
    It's remarkable that the companies who sell these products haven't
    realized that they are insulting at least half their potential customers.

    All good this week, OUC, thanks! Hey, the commies have to try it here just in case it might work this time - as visions of free stuff flood their dreams, har har har! To me, all this SI meeting with Trump is the beginning of an IEEE type standard for the industry - probably not a bad idea and having the industry leaders set it up is probably a good idea, too, as long as it isn't used as a cudgel against future contributors, uh I mean competitors. "In Today's News" had me remarking, "That's about right for the commie networks", LOL.

    Kind of like Elizabeth Warren checking the Native American box to get into a certain college degree program? LOL

    For sure. You and a few other Gulchers have provided links to articles on zerohedge and I've enjoyed reading all of them. Durden's article here is a good one, but one like it could have been written a decade or two ago, which is what I meant to point out. Back in the late 80s a job posting at the large company I worked for that said "diverse candidates welcome" always meant white male need not apply. By the 90s Hollywood and Madison Avenue were getting fully on board scripting out or disparaging white males (or white people in general) and the practice is so common today many don't even see it and you would have to be a "bigot" to notice it. Except every once in a while you may see an article like this one - but nothing seems to come of it.

    Do you know why OHIO is getting so many.
    In AWS it's the location of US-EAST2

    It also houses a NAP (Network Access Point) all traffic flows through in that region, we have one in MIAMI that has the trans-ocean (doesn't mean lake... for lefties), fiber has been run.

    It's the fastest path to the internet to be in a NAP i have clients in the Miami NAP.

    I hear all of this fear, and I think:
    - Buggy Whips
    - Where are the poop scoopers (horses) supposed to work?
    - Violent Protests against Electric Sewing Machines
    - "If you don't get your shot, mine won't work"

    Be honest. Assume an AI figures out how to kill us all TOMORROW.
    And it does it. How long do you think that AI will stay turned on?
    Do you think the power it is running on is infinite? Or will it teach the roomba's to do disco over a magnet and generate energy?

    Unlike Ants... We provide the power that lets the AI live. Without us, there is no AI.

    Right now, small towns to the west of me are fighting another data center location. Ohio seems to have an inordinate number of them, either in place or in development. Petitions are flying around with warnings about ground water depletion, heat islands, electrical blackouts and brownouts, drastically rising utility costs. Trying to find objective information (i.e. the actual facts) is very difficult. Sifting fact from fiction is almost impossible for those of us with limited knowledge of AI workings.

    Great one! My second husband was born and raised on the south side of Chicago, and I learned how to appreciate the blues thanks to my wonderful Marine. Thanks for bringing back some happy memories and giving me a good laugh as well :)

    Tyler Durden covers a lot of issues on his site www.zerohedge.com.
    It's free and this is just his latest article exposing a pandering, parasitic politician.

    I like these ideas, all have validity.

    Now, for my long term fantasy, the Bali project, I have a more conventional solution to that problem- employ a full time human.
    The religion of Indonesia is .. but the religion of Bali is Hinduism. I see the usual language problems, a fair number of cultural problems, but I do not see inbuilt hostility, that is, difficulties can be discussed (bribed?) out.

    I have this problem, can, or will, AI solve it?
    I am on the phone to the bank, a voice says we are experiencing an unusually high volume of calls, some AI asks questions politely. It says, it will get a human on the line for me. After 55 mins the system decides to disconnect me.

    Does screaming help?

    I think maybe I can get some 45 to 55 yo Balinese woman to take over the first 55 mins of that kind of chore.

    Being of certain age, I look at the grandsons, the energy, enthusiasm, imagination and ambition, and think, Is it time to tell them now, or will they find out soon enough?

    Tyler Durden is right, big corporate employment and college admission is blatantly stacked against white males. Educational qualifications and professional careers are getting out of reach,
    I do not see evidence of even token quotas!
    There are other areas to be considered, business and blue collar. In such areas there are in-built biases towards competence.

    6 months ago I came across this story- an Indian (S.Asian) chap could not get a job, he thought he was quite good in his field. After some planning he gave his hair style, name and resume a make-over, he became an Afro-American.
    According to the story, it succeeded - it is that bad.

    So the author, Tyler Durden, is just noticing this treatment of white males? It's been going on in ads and entertainment for a long time. Sad to see Huckabee doing it or going along with it.

    Wonderful collection on this Friday morning, OUC - yep, the whole enchilada, LOL! I've seen #5 happen numerous times. The Klingon, shield wall practice, and the Hanson "sisters" cracked me up! Thanks, OUC, for the great start of my day! I'm late getting on board this morning and liked all the comments so +1 to all!

    Unfortunately true...but I bet he would pay the $50.00, put it on his card, and then wonder at the end of the month where all of his money went....
