OMG! It’s the end of the world!!!

Annular EclipseDOOM! DOOM is upon us! The Sun is being eaten!!!! 

The eclipse is starting. I can see the changing of the light and am debating about making a pinhole observation device.

On the other hand, maybe I’ll just wait for the pictures later today.

I wonder how many religious cults are gleefully drinking Cyanide laced kool aid? Yeah, apparently several years ago there were a number of fundamentalist cults who believed the time of The Rapture was nigh and had to be talked off the ledge over some special eclipse.

I’m to the point in my life where I think no-one should talk idiots off the proverbial ledge. Evolution demands that only useful genes get passed on and those genes which are not useful are recycled as food. Stupid brutish humans are good for protection. (Ogg, you stand here. Don’t let anyone come through this gate. Yes Ogg, you can hit…) Generally stupid humans who are neither pretty, or strong, can probably be excised from the gene pool without causing a ripple. 

I think it was Dr Who, that said it best. “Life is just natures way of keeping the meat fresh“

“What about the smart people?” You ask. 

Hey they’re the ones who know it’s an eclipse, a natural phenomena, and can maybe make a few bucks off the stupid by selling reflective mylar sheets for $200 a pop to morons as radiation shields. (Hey, Light is radiation… I never said which kind of radiation the sheet shielded against!)

It’s probably a really good thing that I don’t work at a Suicide Hot line. I’d have the worst “save” record because I’d be doing exactly what it said on the tin…

“Happy Holidays, Suicide hot line how can I help? So how far along are you in your suicide? Oh, you’re up on the top of the building? Uh huh, and the building is at least 4 stories tall? Oh? Only two stories… Are there any wrought iron fences with spikes nearby? You’re just barely going to reach terminal velocity with a two story jump. I’d suggest finding a taller building or throwing yourself onto something that could impale you. Oh you’re welcome sir… have a wonderful death!“

Yeah I’m a sick fuck!

Damn! The sun is recovering… I guess the Rapture isn’t happening today!

There’s always tomorrow!!!!

Have a nice day! 😉

Dog Farts!

IMG 2879

Okay. In light of the Israeli Hamas war we need something lighter.

I’m totally on board with Israel carpet bombing Gaza and the West Bank. I don’t care how many Palestinians are killed. For almost my entire life, Palestinians have been doing this shit and I’ve had enough. No fucking mercy, No Prisoners.

In honor of Hamas trying to declare a global day of jihad let’s talk about dog farts. After all Dog farts are way more important than Hamas or Palestine.

This is a picture of the fart machine that I live with. When I snapped this photo he was sound asleep and farting continuously.

We’re talking farts that peel paint, they make your eyes water, and burn the hairs right the hell out of your nose. Insects flying through the cloud of gas immediately fall to the ground dead.

He isn’t bothered an all by the stench. A benefit of the way his nose is built.

I on the other hand have no such biological adaptations, and am wondering if he’s a Jihad dog. Saddam’s nerve gas couldn’t be much worse than the stench my sweet puppy emits!

You’ll notice he’s wearing a bandana. That’s because he was groomed the other day. I’ve noticed a pattern.

For a few days after he’s been groomed, he has the foulest farts. I think it’s probably because he manages to work the groomer(s) out of an excessive number of treats. 

The campfire blazing saddlesI don’t know if this is actual fact and the pup sure as hell isn’t going to tell. He’s a treat / cookie monster and people want to give him treats.

I’m looking for something that I can eat to balance the scales. Since the dog sleeps on the bed with me I want to produce farts that drive him out of the bedroom at 3 am! 

Fair is fair!

Maybe I need to find some baked beans an recreate the “Beans” scene from Blazing Saddles.

Hmm, That’s interesting!

I updated my IOS and Apple Watch OS to the latest due to some security concerns.  Sigh!General iOS 17 Feature Orange Purple

Suddenly the weather functionality on my watch is all wonky. It’s obviously a bug. The weather info complications will work for a bit, then begin displaying “—“. They’ll still link to the actual weather application and that seems to be working just fine. 

Although in troubleshooting the issue I wiped all my saved locations. Not a big deal…

I thought it was a communication fault between my phone and watch, because I noticed the problem typically when I was outside and my phone was inside. Initially it looked like something not working when the watch was disconnecting from bluetooth. 

I was just about to flush the watch and start over. 

Then I thought, “Wait, I wonder if this is documented?”

It was, apparently Apple has introduced a bug as part of their updates to Weather. I’m glad I didn’t just wipe and restore my watch. The effort would have been pointless.

Busted software is busted software!

I’m wondering if Carrot Weather works, but then I’m not sure that I want to pay for another weather application. I really liked Dark Sky then Apple purchased the company. They did a pretty good job of merging the features of Dark Sky into the Apple weather app. But I’m now hesitant to spend on a subscription.

I have to say Carrot might be amusing because it apparently has a smart ass mode. That might be fun for a while.

Yes I can look outside and see the weather… But I like seeing a mini forecast like the expected high and low and what the probability of rain or snow is for a day or week. The complications on my watch face provide this information at a glance and while you wouldn’t think it would be missed, once you get used to it… you miss it a lot.

I miss it even in Southern California where the weather is boring in its sameness. If I lived in the Midwest or South I’d be losing my mind!

I also noticed another Bug in Apple Music on my phone. If you press the big, obvious, centrally located “Play” button it doesn’t change. There’s no indication that the album or playlist is actually playing. If the selection has a long quiet lead in you might find yourself pressing the play button repeatedly wondering what’s going on. What you’re doing, is restarting the playing selection over and over again.

User interface issues?

Come on Apple! You wrote the book on user interfaces. At least change the color of the button, change the symbol to the || symbol. Do something that tells the user their command has been accepted and is being executed.

Ive told you again and again… I’m happy to test your software. I keep applying for your open positions, I’m experienced, speak, read, and write English. I’m low maintenance! Just give me software and what specifications you have… I like testing software! I don’t need a special glitter covered desk or specialized bathroom designations. A simple workspace and the normal male symbol Malesym

Will do just fine. 

I’m being a little snarky because no matter how many applications I fill out with Apple, the deafening silence coming back from their HR department is a universal constant. Like Gravity.

Anyhow, off to fiddle with something else that needs fiddling with.

Have a good day

I keep trying to write a non political blog post, but…

I keep running across reports out of Israel. 

My God! How can humans be that monstrous? Raping the women of your enemies is something that’s been going on for centuries so it’s not terribly surprising but I’d thought we’d gotten past that stage as a species.

Apparently I gave the human race more credit than it was due.

However, murdering infants? Decapitating them? Murdering women and children in their beds? That shit is vile beyond words. It also demonstrates what fucking cowards Hamas is. 

Their, Oh so Brave ‘Freedom Fighters’ killing unarmed people is wrong on so many levels that I find myself wanting to see Gaza leveled Indiscriminately. I find myself thinking “No Mercy, No Prisoners”

My rage quickly expands to those praising Hamas and Palestines actions in other countries. Australia I’m looking at you!

How can a country with such asinine hate speech & disinformation laws that they imprison their own citizens for misgendering a gender fuck drag queen, allow such hateful things as “Gas the Jews” to be chanted in front of the Sydney Opera House? 

I can tell you this, I don’t think I’ll be visiting Australia. I’ve heard it’s beautiful, but I don’t deal well with confusion. If “Gas the Jews” is okay, I’m going to assume my telling a tranny to get away from me, or calling the COVID Vaccines ineffective, or stating the fact that COVID 19 was only fatal to about 2% of the people contracting it, is going to be okay too. 

Except… We all know that’s not true and I’d end up in jail.

Then we have our own politicians, & citizens supporting Hamas with demonstrations in the streets or flying their flags outside their offices. Our own colleges saying they support Hamas and Palestinian causes. 

And I ask myself what has happened?

If this is humanity… then maybe it’s time for God to start over. 

Even I, pointing out the horror, am willing to look the other way when I say, “no mercy, no prisoners,” and say that Gaza be leveled. I’m willing to look away knowing that hundreds of thousands of men women and children would be killed.  

That makes me just as defective as the rest of the human race.

Recognizing my own defect… I still think every single member of Hamas should be hunted down and shot in the streets like the filthy rabid dogs they are. I might even be up for torturing them a bit first.

I have no idea why I feel that way. Is it that what they’re doing is so heinous I’m almost blinded by rage? OR is it moral outrage?

I look forward to the Israeli counter offensive

Trump Derangement Syndrome may be real… Who Knew?

IPhone 15 ColoursI was reading an article in Vanity Fair about the iPhone 15 woes and the author made reference to Donald Trump. Really? Why? What does Donald Trump have to do with the iPhone 15 being excessively warm?

Then I watched the news for a bit and saw the trial going on in New York. That Attorney General Leticia James was acting like a school girl behind Trump. Staring hateful daggers at the back of his head. Then I read more about the case and found she’s accusing him of fraud.

Okay, but the fraud was that he overvalued his buildings meaning that he had to pay higher property taxes on those buildings to the State of New York. WHAT? That makes no fucking sense! Especially in a crazy high tax state like New York or California. In California you do the exact opposite!

2 Donald Trump returns to court for 250m rigged fraud trial brought by radical lunatic 696x392So he must’ve overvalued the real estate holdings to defraud banks for loans? Okay, except that the loans were paid back (some of them before term), the banks looked at the properties and agreed to make to make the loans, (Which they wouldn’t have done if they felt the property values wouldn’t hold up,) the banks then made money on interest, Trump made money on the leveraged investment, and no-one was harmed.

Nobody lost money, and nobody was complaining. So who was hurt by this fraudulent activity? Uhhh No-one, no-one at all. In fact The State of New York benefited in increased tax revenue.

Apparently New York has some really weird laws and regulations about harm. Yet another reason to NEVER go to New York, do business in New York, live in New York, or take a shit in New York.

Trump has been living rent free in these people’s heads and they have lost their damn minds. Even the grinning idiot of a Judge in the New York case dismissed about 80% of the charges Leticia James brought. 

76082115 12584325 image a 18 1696268552089How much money did this stupid bitch of an A.G. cost the people of New York, digging up stupid shit charges? 

And for what? For her leftist hatred of Donald Trump? Trump is right… She is an embarrassment to the city and state of New York.

I could see Trump divesting himself and his companies of all New York holdings. Leticia James has essentially killed all his businesses by cancelling their business licenses anyway. So what happens if he sells all the real estate he has in New York to slum lords for say 25% off their value?

Trump gets to take a loss against his bottom line, so he benefits on Federal Taxes, he still makes a little bit of money, and New York suffers immediate loss of taxes on the properties. Further if Trump was to sell to nasty slum lords he punishes New York for decades to come by making uptown more of a shit hole than it already is.

Financial warfare can be more devastating and longer lasting than bombs.

Leticia James and people like her believe that Trump or indeed any White conservative, would never do anything to hurt the city, or “innocent” people.

JudgegrinsforcamerajpgThey count on being able to take swings and beat on “Nice Guys” with zero concern that there will be a price to pay. Because “Nice Guys” would never do anything to intentionally hurt someone.

I personally think that needs to change. The People of New York are not innocent, they elected Leticia James as Attorney General and her campaign was built only on “Getting Trump” not cleaning up crime in New York, not making things better so that New Yorkers could walk the streets safely.

No, her only claim to fame was “I’m gonna get Trump!”

It’s high time there were consequences. Those consequences should be long lasting and devastating. Leticia James face should be etched into every building Trump sells or converts to illegal immigrant or low income housing with a caption saying, “You voted for this”.

“Nice Guys” needn’t actually hurt anyone, all any of us have to do is stop holding the tide of destruction back. Let the chips fall where they may. Let stupidity reap natural, dare I say it, Darwinian, rewards.
