NPR: Data Centers are expensive, unpopular and could be a tipping point in the midterms.
I enjoy NPR because they think it’s plausible that data centers could influence the midterm elections. Data centers are not a tipping point, but are a big deal that smart people should be thinking about. So far, it seems like dimwits are just scrambling for cash. What gets done will effect normal people like us.
The Madison TV Show works if you don’t ask questions.
When you and your friend like the same show, you might talk through each episode. This is like that. My brother wouldn’t stop yakking about The Madison, so here we are. I’m more skeptical of Taylor Sheridan’s show.
Five Amazing Facts About the Lockheed U-2
The Lockheed U-2 has been around for decades, but much of the information was classified. A new book is coming out, and it will probably be interesting.
The amazing fact I learned is that due to the operating altitude, conventional jet fuel boils off. To research an appropriate fuel, they turned to Jimmy Doolittle, of Doolittle Raid fame, who was then a VP at Shell Oil.
Free Press: How Teachers’ Unions Became Political Big Spenders
A new report claims national teachers’ unions are operating more like Democratic funding machines than groups advocating for their rank and file.
None of this is new information.
A senior adviser to the Trump administration told The Free Press that the Department of Education “will be looking at this report very closely and if warranted, we will investigate further.”
Hedge witch might not be the right term, but she had the knowing for them that would listen.
Sparky started trying to chew a hole in the couch sheet. By the time I realized his bully chew stick was under the sheet, Sparky had lost confidence in my ability to manipulate sheets and blankets. That’s rich because Sparky has no idea how sheets, blankets or towels work.
When I pulled the bully stick out from under the sheet, Sparky went after it aggressively.
I saw this on Twitter.
I want to roll everything down that stairway. A giant truck tire, a bunch of bowling balls, a couple of Swiss balls from the gym, and whatever else I can find.
It’s probably me, because Sparky always does what he thinks is best and never apologizes. I don’t recall doing anything wrong, but Sparky sure looks disappointed.
Sparky is pretty judgmental, it could be anything. Earlier today, Sparky thought we were going for a car ride, but it turned out that I was putting on pants for no reason. That’s probably it.
When someone recommends a TV show, they never explain it properly because they already bought in and accepted the premise.
My brother recommended The Madison, a new Taylor Sheridan series. The premise is that the father of this fancy NYC family goes to Montana every year to fish and do guy stuff with his brother. The father and his brother die in the first episode, so the show is about the fancy wife and the rest of the family going out to Montana to settle mortuary and estate business, while experiencing the back-to-nature lifestyle that the father cherished.
Not plausible. This loving couple is married for decades, and every year, the husband goes off to Montana for the time of his life with his brother, and the wife never goes along?
30% of Americans Think At Least One of the Trump Assassination Attempts Were ‘Staged’
For the Butler, Pennsylvania, shooting — when a bullet grazed Trump’s ear and a local firefighter attending the rally was killed — 42 percent of Democrats called it staged, compared to seven percent of Republicans
Perhaps I am too naïve, but I have to think that it’s the meaning of ‘staged’ that gets 4 in 10 Democrats looking like lunatics.
