Sheds a lot of specific light on the situation, thanks!

Better examples than I had!

Once again, me dino clearly sees my oft ignored need to click onto NEW more often.
Two things that stood out as richly deserved. Having lived through a low row of presidents for 79 years since hatching, having lived through them all i hereby declares that Donald Trump richly deserves to be included on Mount Rushmore.
Also richly deserved, the ugly intergalactical Sith tower that Obmanation Islam Brownnoser Bolshevik Barry dedicated to himself mostly richly deserves a giant dog pissing on it 24/7.

Barry goes to Queer Michael when he needs the ATM.

Yes Clintonistra When they repealed the Glass Steagell Act. Separating banks from the brokerage business. Then Bushleague in 2004 when he allowed banks to increase their leverage to the point of a small move against them made them insolvent. FuQing traitors.

Get well to you both!

To see these lists, it certainly is bleak looking. However, I do believe the subprime debacle was initiated during the Clinton administration.

Apparently the left's "No Kings" mantra didn't apply to Obummer. Oh wait, maybe he was an Emir or Sultan or just plain ol' commie dictator. The nation is still suffering in the wake of his rule, but it did dodge an assassin's bullet when Hitlery lost to Trump.

Top notch and informative, OUC. Thanks!

For aspiring to run our USA like a South American commie dictator, me dino feels peachy keen to dub this Little Barry's treasonous celebratory attacks on our homeland
as "El Presidente Poco Poo Poo Barry's Las Obamanation del album de guano recortes."

I think this Edition pretty well covers the Obama era. It was pretty bleak. Maybe I missed it but I didn't see anything about the subprime mortgage debacle.

Me dino am so stopped up I can hear myself inhale and exhale inside my head quite loudly while no one else can hear a thing.
This happens only this time of year.

Sorry I missed an Edition. This was what I was working on when the seasonal allergies hit me pretty hard this year and not to mention a very busy time at work to boot.

I trudge along regardless though . . .

Turds.

That's REALLY AWESOME.

What I Find interesting is the inherent complexity that we absorb as we increase our ability to build and design things functionally.

I watched ONE video where the explained the positive and negative air flow systems so ORs stay clean but a viral patient doesn't contaminate the entire place. Even simple things like "how floors meet walls".

And I don't know JACK about this topic.

The credit goes to Written Language, then Written Codes.
Finally, learning from our failures.

May your new Hospital stand the test of time and help millions of people!

Nicely written, WDonway. Heh heh, yes, one has to pay close attention to the Amtrak website to make sure you don't miss something. I've had it "freeze up" causing me to log out and start over - no reason given. Sometimes calling them is easier (the people I've connected with are always very nice).

Another frustrating situation is when you are forced to choose from a list of topics and your problem is not on the list. Just pick something, I guess, and go from there.

Here's a situation I was involved in a few years back. I wanted to upgrade my Internet service to a faster speed from an offer by my ISP, who I am no longer with. To do so, I had to upgrade the interface hardware by taking the old box to an outlet near where I lived and get a new box or pay to have them come and install the swap. It wasn't far so I drove over to exchange boxes. The installation was easy: attach the cable, attach my Ethernet line to my Wi-Fi, and plug it in - no problem. All the indicator lights showed connection and proper functionality. However, I could not get online. After re-doing everything and getting the same indicator lights it still didn't work, so I called customer support. The support person had me go through all the steps again and it still didn't work. She could see the box on her end and it was functioning properly. When she checked my account to make sure I paid my bill (I had) she said, "I see the problem. You have to log into your account and check the "Accept terms" box for the new hardware." We paused. I said slowly, "If I can't get on the Internet, how do I sign into my account to check the box?". Silence. Finally she said, "You can authorize me to check the box for you. Would you like to do that?". Hey, she's already in my account so let's give it a whirl. She checked the box and all was well in the universe.

A little off topic, but here's another example of computer invasion. I went to Lowes to buy a few items and went to pay cash at the checkout. To complete the simple transaction the first computer hoop to jump through was the cashier asked if I had a Lowes account and if, yes, what's my phone number. That got the cash register ready to do what it is supposed to do - scan the stuff. I hand him the cash. Before change is "authorized" and a receipt printed I had to step left on the counter (customer behind me had to back up a bit) and bend down to a little box with a screen into which I was expected to enter my phone number (again?) or press the "no" icon and press "enter". For cash? Good grief, Charlie Brown!

Great set, OUC! Three different topics presented in the nutshell. Elder abuse, D election fraud, and Trump wins again! Gotta love it! Thank you!

I was there in August of 2010 for the Restoring Honor rally when Glenn Beck spoke. The pool was a sewer back then. Like Greg Gutfeld says numerous times on his show, "He's too good for us."

Mudacrats

What kind of Dumacrats love to swim in sewage?
Sewage.

Reminds me of the scene in Demolition Man, where Denis Leary's character has a speech about how he wants the freedom to choose what he wants even if the choices are bad for him. He doesn't want any part of the "perfect society" where every single thing is controlled and perfect and safe.

In my experience, I work for a large trucking company where we have software that gives us recommendations of what truck to put on what load. We track the "usage" of the system recommendations in efforts to improve it. What I have seen in 10 years of using this now is that in a perfect environment where we have lots of trucks and loads and some flexibility, we can achieve 60-70% usage. There are enough choices that the software works fairly well but there are still some that we have to figure out because the software can't account for all the variables, drivers hours, drivers free choice (some want certain lanes / areas), weather and so on. In an environment where we are overbooked and have extra freight which with freight rates going crazy we are right now, the system doesn't work as well. Currently we are in a 30-40% usage range because the system just can't handle all of the variables and prioritization that we have to use.

Have certainly experienced the frustration the author speak of. Impersonal systems programmed to act personal, interactions that don't work with no explanation and so on. What's even more frustrating is that in their infinite drive for optimization, no one seems to care about the human impact.

Raised 5 kids who I would tell often "Rule number 1 - people are idiots". They started acting like I was being mean, then they'd tell some story of someone doing one of these stupid things you see videos and memes about and I'd point out that Rule #1 was true... I agree with several of the comments though that this is a great idea. I think you could have a lot of humor and showcasing of the current state of humanity, with the lessons being there about issues with education, groupthink and so on.

As far as some comments about "the shot" and it's ramifications, there are multiple studies now of how various cancers and all types of disorders are skyrocketing among those vaxxed. That was a definite exercise in control, as well as all of the impacts on population by those who think our population is too high. Unfortunately my wife felt pressured to get it for work and got 2 doses... Now has a form RA attacking her joints and causing pain. We trace the cause back to her having the vax and still getting C19 and starting to have these issues right after.. She also saw (working in an allergy and immunotherapy clinic) the information about how MANY of their immunotherapy patients who trusted and got the shot so they wouldn't get sick, then developed cancers, at far greater rate than ever before..

In terms of energy, there is a theory, abiogenetic petroleum, that the earth produces oil without the need for buried organic material. It's interesting and might explain why we still haven't hit peak oil. Of course the idea that we are hitting a point where the cost is becoming greater than the return is still possible. The only other solution is if somehow we get fusion energy off the ground and have a cheaper viable way to sustain our current infrastructure and society. I agree though that the windmills and solar farms are FAR more costly than anyone is willing to admit. No one discusses the windmill blades that have to be replaced in 20 years and for which they have no way to dispose of or reuse the material to build them. Any discussion of the cost to build such things and then safely reuse or recycle them is shut down as being anti Green energy...

Idiots indeed....

Good stuff

Bah ha ha ha ha. I think you should go for it.
