Are you shitting me?

The UN, and others are demanding a cease fire between Israel and Palestine. 

A cease fire??? What? The IDF hasn’t moved in to clean out the vermin of Hamas.israel hamas war 1.jpg

Cease Fire??? Oh HELL NO!

I’m looking forward to every single structure in Gaza being razed to the ground. I want bodies of Hamas floating out into the Mediterranean as they’re shot trying to escape the righteous vengeance of Israel. Let ‘em feed the sharks!

No prisoners, No mercy, No ceasefire, until every single element of Hamas has been put down like the rabid vermin they are.

These Hamas fuckers are already in tunnels, those tunnels should become their graves.

As the media keeps spinning this as a humanitarian issue for the Palestinians, I can’t feel any sympathy. Ohhh poor babies… their internet and cell service is down. Ohhh poor babies they’re running out of fuel and the power is off. Ohhh they have no water to bathe with. SO FUCKING WHAT?!?

Better than half the Palestinians support Hamas. They celebrated the massacre of 1400 Israeli civilians. They laughed at the murder of babies in their cribs. They are complicit in the crimes of Hamas. They should share in the punishment.

There was one report that said the average IQ in Gaza was 67. I haven’t verified this report but if it’s true… you know what? These people are never going to contribute anything to humanity. No great loss.

I respect the IDF trying to preserve life. That amazes me considering what happened. I think that their efforts will go unacknowledged. The very people they’re trying to save will turn on them at the first opportunity. But I respect that the IDF is trying to do the right thing.

There may come a time when the IDF has to abandon their higher principles when or if that happens, I will still support Israel. 

Oh and Iran… FUCK YOU!IranAmbasto UN.png

I don’t like being threatened.

I’d happily walk into the UN general council and tell the Iranian Foreign Minister, “given their proxies attacks on US facilities that technically a state of war exists.

I’d love to be the guy who then asked the Iranian Foreign Minister to try to call home… I’d love to deliver that message to the Iranian Foreign Minister while Tehran was already under attack and being bombed into oblivion. The video of his expression should be televised worldwide as he realizes that that his home is gone, and he’ll never see his homeland again.

I think it’s time for us to really make the point to the entire fucking world.

Americans are sick and tired of being fucked over, 

I don’t like war, it’s a waste of resources. War is a failure of diplomacy. 

But it’s become clear that appeasement is not going to work, diplomacy will not work with a culture that will never honor any treaties or agreements.

This leaves only one option. War. 

The war should only end, when what’s left of the enemy is literally on their knees on broken glass begging for mercy and their lives.

Israel Palestinians New York 14 1698457549605 1698457572798All you fucking morons protesting for Palestinian “Freedom” in the streets of New York, and other major cities. I’m totally for letting you parachute right into Gaza. If you love the Palestinian animals of Hamas, then join them.

If you survive, perhaps you can provide useful instruction on how much Hamas hates any Americans. They don’t care if you’re protesting to support them, they’ll kill you right along with someone in the IDF.

You’re nothing but useful idiots that cause disruption, and spread hate in your home country.

Okay, my day is completely off the rails.

And I don’t mind one little bit!

The pup woke me about 1AM because he had the hiccups and wanted to go out. He came back in about 30 minutes later and was not his usual bouncy self. He curled up on the couch, and I sat with him for another half hour while he snoozed next to me.

Sometimes if he’s not feeling well, he’ll need to go out several times in quick succession. Last night he didn’t, do the usual thing. After a while I went back to bed and he joined me taking his usual spot at the foot of the bed.

About 6:45AM I’ve got a puppy nose in my ear. Opening my eyes, I see a very worried look on the pups face.

I know that look!

I roll out of bed and he’s already at the sliding door. I open the door, and he makes it out onto the deck and tosses his cookies. I’m pulling on sweats and heading for a kettle of water to rinse the deck. He’s already down stairs in the yard retching again.

You feel so helpless when they’re sick. After a couple of minutes he comes slowly back up the stairs. I open the slider and follow him inside. He gets a small drink of water, then jumps back up on the couch curled up Husky fashion.

That’s where we are now, I’m sitting here beside him. He’s not curled up, instead he’s alternating between having his head propped against the arm of the couch, or having his head propped against me. (I think the alternation is about being too hot on one side or the other.)

So my day is now all about attending to my sick friend. It’s only fair, he’s taken very good care of me these past months so I’m happy to return the favor.

I notice that he wakes up every half hour or so, looks around, finds me in the room, then goes back to sleep. I guess he figures I’m watching the doors and windows for him so he’s safe and all is well.

I’m going to try for a nap later in the day. But right now I think I’ll tackle the job search. At least I’ll be able to knock that off my ToDo list.

We got a new IOS and a Speaker of the House

Mikejohnson2 1 3301794256I’m happy about the Speaker because he seems untainted by the rampant corruption in Washington. Time will tell. I do really like the thought of him whipping Congress into working something like real business hours instead of what we’ve been seeing. We’ll never get our money’s worth out of Congress. That’s a given, but maybe this new guy will put an end to Congress sitting around jerking off instead of passing budgets, laws, and finding ways to cut the obscene waste our government finds all too easy to create.

I’ll admit my fingers are crossed that this guy isn’t corrupt. Louisiana has a long and storied history of corruption in politics so I’m taking a “wait & see” position.

I’m hopeful though.

Iphone 15 pro max renderYesterday Apple released a lot of software.

I’m most excited about the new IOS 17.1 release. Because my iPhone and watch having weird glitches was annoying. The weather complications on my watch being blank most of the time, but intermittently working was really annoying.

I spent part of the morning updating everything in the house. Thus far all the goofy crap my watch and phone were doing appears to have been fixed. I’m sure as I move forward with the new IOS I’ll stumble across new bugs. I just hope those new bugs aren’t as plentiful as the bugs I was seeing in IOS 17.0.3.

I’ll admit that the updates went pretty smoothly. You could only appreciate how happy I am about that if you knew how much Apple Iron there is in this house.

While I was waiting for software to download and load, I managed to make a lot of headway on my list of dumb things I have to do. So the time wasn’t wasted.

I used to sit and watch the update process. I don’t anymore. I figure that watching it isn’t going to make it be any more reliable or move along any faster. It’s almost binary now. Either it works or it doesn’t. One path causes me no trouble and I get what I expected. The other path, something has gone horribly wrong and I’ll have to figure out how to fix it.

Either way, there’s little sense in my watching the screen for some cryptic message that won’t mean anything to me or to an ill trained first tier technical support person I reach at Apple.

Sadmac1

I guess that’s me applying the “Don’t worry about it until it happens” philosophy of life.

There is one thing I don’t do. I don’t update everything at exactly the same time. Typically I’ll let the phone finish before I update the iPad, computer, HomePods, AppleTVs, and watch. 

I have this vision in my head that I start the update process on everything at once. Then everything failing and seeing sad Mac faces everywhere. Which would mean I couldn’t even email for assistance.

Remember the Sad Mac?

I had to laugh at myself about the Dynamic Island.

At first I was like “Yeah, So what?” Then yesterday after the updates completed I realized that I’d been seeing the Dynamic Island all along.  True there are only a few apps that I have which make use of the Island while I’m doing other things. But the Dynamic Island is actually there all the time and providing me with useful information. It’s so seamless and honestly I expect useful information to be presented exactly where the Dynamic Island presents it that the island was almost invisible to me.

I have high expectations of software. So I’ll have to say to Apple “Good Job”. 

Now let’s have a look at other apps both Apple and third party to see if Dynamic Island integration can be useful.

I’m also liking having the always on display on the new phone. I didn’t think I’d like it but I do. Now I want to get a magsafe stand for the bedside table. So I can use the whole standby functionality thing. I haven’t had a bedside clock for years. It’s weird that my bedside clock became my phone, wand now my phone is morphing back into a bedside clock. 

Apparently I’m not the only person who’s thinking this way. MagSafe stands, particularly the one from TwelveSouth are backordered all over the place.

Well, off to continue the sorting and tossing of crap out of the house.

I hope everyone has a really nice day.
