    This article is so believable and it is funny as fuck.

    This article is comedic gold. 😂 Too bad it will not be in the realm of comedy for long.

  • Jon Stewart Shutting Down Fox News' Assertion that He is Ideological in 2011

    Updated at


    Of course, Faux News would put Chris Wallace up to the task and even he could not find the ideological bias. Chris Wallace tried really hard to paint Jon Stewart as a leftist activist, but alas fail.

    I wonder why? "Conservative" projection.

    Definitely have to say it is pretty funny to see how Jon Stewart ridiculed Faux News on their own show. He pointed out specifically that the public perception is that news is moving towards his area of entertainment rather than the other way around which is disappointing. ...

  • My Custom Made Blog is Now Version 3

    Updated at

    A little redesign of my blog to make it more consistent. It was a migration to Web Components at first, but I got some inspiration to update the look. This blog is now Svelte-less and framework-less. My mantra of high performance, low maintenance continues.

    Gone is the realistic looking oven. With your attention at the logo, it is a window of a oven with a delectable cupcake. It is truly my oven.

    Never thought I'd go back to a dark background, but with how sleeker and consistent things look it looked natural.

  • It's Worth Considering Buying Masks for the Next Pandemic

    Updated at

    SARS 2 supposedly is a once in a life time global pandemic, but ~SARS 1 was 20 years ago. Who says in 20 years that another one can't pop up? More than likely election, anti-vaxxer, covid deniers aka Republicans might, but who cares what they say or think. Those who cannot learn to discern bad information submit to darwinism. Like in all areas you ignore the dumb and look for the optimal.

    I think its worth buying masks for the next pandemic. I'm not sure buying them today is a good idea, but within the next ...

  • Standing on the Shoulders of Others

    Turns out even Steve Jobs understood he stood on the shoulders of others. He says this as he contemplates life while sick.

    I grow little of the food I eat, and of the little I do grow I did not breed or perfect the seeds.

    I do not make any of my own clothing.

    I speak a language I did not invent or refine.

    I did not discover the mathematics I use.

    I am protected by freedoms and laws I did not conceive of or legislate, and do not enforce or...

  • Its Garbage to Say Fully Automatic Guns Should be Unbanned

    |
    Updated at

    When your argument is that "legally" owned fully automatics haven't been used to kill anyone yet, you have no argument. It's trash. Beyond stupid. The fact that you can look at guns that are semi automatic or bump stock equipped guns that have been used in crimes and not extrapolate the crimes that will absolutely have greater chance of success if full auto were unbanned bolsters the argument is beyond idiotic. The fact that one can be so dense and short sight I'd say is grounds for lunacy and execution. Un...

    andddd I don't care, won't watch.

    Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, whatever make you accept the terms of service. You the consumer can be moderated if they feel that your content is treading near the point of blatant violation. You can whine, bitch, moan about unfair treatment, but YOU AGREED TO IT.

    Honestly, if it were me I'd start deleting accounts and banning people for violating blatantly and then whining about it with bullshit. Yes, I'd delete and perma ban you for libel.

    The Hunter Biden story is a non story....

  • John Carmack: You Can't Know Everything, but You Should Convince Yourself You Can Learn Anything

    Lex Fridman's interviews tend to be interesting. Getting an interview with Carmack, though, is next level. Man has many other things to do, but he respected Lex enough to take time out of his day. 5 HOURS of his time.

  • Glad to be in Web Components Land

    Updated at

    Already started migrating the front end part of one application to Web Components. Absolutely making heavy reuse of existing code to hasten the effort. The way the web components renders and how high performance it is, its fucking amazing. This is exactly what I've been looking for. Loads way faster than Svelte will any day and this is without any SSR. Imagine how this thing will scream with SSR.

    I need to figure out how I'm going to do bootstrapping. I'm thinking I will have the bootstrapper js file trigger...
