    Israel attacked by Hamas...

    I say this all the time about all the secular religions; that I already have one, and mine doesn't force others to adopt it. If a religion is compelling my participation, like the green religion, then it's a bad religion, by definition.

    Burglary?

    Same. I thought a home invasion was occurring at 4:30am when I saw headlights on and a guy walking on the porch with a headlamp. I'm a "minimum necessary force" sort of personality, so he wasn't in danger, but plenty of folks are "maximum force" personalities. Just to clarify, "minimum...

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    I don't blame politicians; I blame the corrupt, backwards, dimwitted voters that seek death and destruction. Those folks deserve everything they desire.

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    The funny thing about intelligence is that those lower on the scale aren't aware of their relative position. Anyone thinking Ben Shapiro is dumb, is dumb. As an aside, wisdom is not not correlated with intelligence. God or creation saw it fit to decouple intelligence and wisdom. Ironically, the...

    Ring is offering $1 million to anyone who captures an alien with their doorbell camera

    AI is going to ruin creativity. The way humans learn to produce works that appeal to other humans is to iterate, and then gather feedback on those iterations. My daughter draws multiple pictures daily and solicits feedback. AI doesn't sleep though, and it can iterate thousands of times per...

    Israel attacked by Hamas...

    Our refineries are designed to distill heavy sour oil, not the light sweet that we produce. So even when the US is a "net exporter" of oil, we still rely on foreign sources to supply us. Biden says we only need oil for another 8 years though, so I'm relieved that an 80 year old career politician...

    Israel attacked by Hamas...

    I don't understand how assets were abandoned like that. Valuable assets could have been strategically removed prior to evacuating the area, and everything else destroyed. Heck, a helicopter landing to kill Bin Laden was botched, and they still managed to complete the mission and destroy the...

    Israel attacked by Hamas...

    I'm not throwing this out here as a serious suggestion, only saying the first thing that came to my mind. What if the US gave Israel New Jersey, a state that is a bit larger than Israel. They move here, and absolutely level Israel as they leave. The Muslims continue killing each other fighting...

    Israel attacked by Hamas...

    Scott Adams has an interesting take on this that is the same as the looting that goes on here in the US. If people are programmed that "those other people" have your stuff, then they get violent in an attempt to "get their stuff back". It's backwards thinking, not forwards. Fools think they...

    Progressive Liberal Hypocrisy

    ... and people are conservative by default. Nobody sits on a table while eating from a chair, or uses a fork with cereal. Humanity has figured out optimal ways to do many things, and we just go along with it. Most new ideas are inferior to the established way, which is why most new ideas are a...

    Progressive Liberal Hypocrisy

    The Democrat party is associated with women, so that's a universally true statement. Women naturally have to be concerned with taking care of the vulnerable, and it doesn't matter to them what the reason is. There are some beta-males, also the known as the cuttlefish of males (look up sneaky...

    Bicycle Crash And She Did Not Drop One Drop Of Her Drink

    Shrink-flation: Post your examples

    You end up paying more in packaging costs as well, because a larger container holds more volume per surface area than a smaller container. So, more trash, less product. The other thing I hate captured in the image is idioc claims like "25% more cleaning power!". In small print "compared to...

    Progressive Liberal Hypocrisy

    I hold the very unpopular, but only rational view that people should be able to discriminate based on whatever reason they want. They don't like guys named Bob, orange hair, people wearing jeans... any reason whatsoever. That's what it means to own something; making all the decisions. If people...

    Neighbor hits my recycling bin

    The wind blew over the recycle bin of my neighbor, and I picked it up and put all the scattered debris back in. There was way, way more debris that came out than in this video. Good man. The garbage men in my neighborhood clean up after spills too.

    Guy catches package thief, clearly needs more cameras

    I keep thinking bait needs to be covered in poison oak oil and left for miscreants to 'discover'. Throw in some lurid photos so they are likely to 'touch themselves'.

    bidens incredible transition to electric cars

    Mini-Review - 5442-Z4E-S3 AKA B54IR-Z4E S3 - Replacement to the 5442-Z4E

    Agreed. In my case (convicted felon), I'm not allowed to own a firearm. Any confrontation is legally required to be very personal. All that aside, I'm the "minimum necessary force" sort of personality. Even if I were armed, I'd saunter out and play it cool for as long as others keep it cool.

    Mini-Review - 5442-Z4E-S3 AKA B54IR-Z4E S3 - Replacement to the 5442-Z4E

    I recently discovered that option. Wanted a part the next morning so I could work on a project, and it didn't cost extra, so I tried it out. As it happened, I was awake at 4:30am and saw a light shine through the front windows and a car parked on the street. In my groggy state, I figured I'll...

    h264 or h265

    From what I've gathered, h.265 encoding is usually junk in cheaper cameras, and added just so they can claim it has it. Do your own testing. I tried h.265 and motion was absolute garbage. The moving object and the background it just passed through would be a pixelated mess, with everything...

    Electrical Inspection Wall Of Shame

    Here's the electric panel of the house I grew up in. Not sure how jenky it is, but looks pretty jenky to me. The dryer and barn circuits were added on. We were pretty late getting a microwave.
