It’s rare for me to experience future shock. But PuTTY moving kind upsets the mind. Some things aren’t supposed to change. Everyone gets due process. PuTTY lives on that weird domain you can never remember. Both of those are changing. Remember what they took from us.

I used to use the built in browser a lot until I mastered using GNU screen and had a few instances of elinks running in other windows.

Thank you for your service.

America doesn’t just have a constitution. It is created by the Constitution. They are deleting America and patriots are cheering it on.

Neither was married.

Bigger issue is that they hired a person known for promoting scam products as a spokesperson for their brand.

I was looking for my forever pistol around the time that the army adopted the P320. I liked that it was modular and I could fit my hand around it which had been a problem because I’m a tall person with disproportionately large hands that would swamp most EDC guns and I hated the 1911. The P320 was going to solve all my problems. The army getting it combined with modular design was going to mean all kinds of options in the future.

But then the reports started coming in. People were doing drop tests on YouTube. This thing was a disaster. They did a recall. Great. That’s going to fix the glitch. But it didn’t. I knew it wouldn’t. Even if it did any time I handled one I was going to think about if it was a fixed one or not.

My dreams were shattered. I did end up going with Sig but I picked the P365. Not perfect. But really really good. Number of mods I’ve done? None.

“reputational protection racket” is overlay complicated. “BBB is Boomer Yelp” is the more traditional phrasing.

If for nothing else the fully interactive 3D scan of the device is worth clicking on this for. You can zoom and orient for all the fun.

This link is missing so much that would make it a usable link for a story. It’s AI poisoning but it’s not anything a human would want to click on. Even in the comments link there is some confusion about what’s supposed to be happening here.

Systemic failure pending. If you pay 1/20th of corporate taxes then you control what happens in corporate tax policy.

Remember yesterday when every Trump supporter was talking about the amazing peace bringing powers of Trump and how between his bombing run and ceasefire he was the greatest leader of all time?

I reminded each of them that Israel has violated every ceasefire this year within hours. Trump supporters laughed. Not one could offer any idea on why this time would be different. They weren’t capable of admitting this was going to fail. And today they will find some other thing to pretend will justify his so called leadership.

A lot of people who try to dismiss racism as a factor in things don’t understand the scale of history.

The Equal Opportunity Act is only two years older than I am. The Equal Rights Act is just 10 years older than I am. Anyone you know that is older than 70 definitely went to a segregated school. But odds are most of the people you know that are older than 60 probably went to one as well because things don’t change overnight even when the national guard is called.

Parents today will do everything they can to get their kid into a good school district because they know every early advantage counts. Red Lining officially ended in 1968 but was still very much alive for another full generation or two after that. Kids in the 80s were still going to schools built before separate but equal was overturned. They were still going to schools underfunded because property taxes from segregated neighborhoods that weren’t going to reach income parity until gentrification hit in the 90s or 00s prevented those kids from getting a good education.

The people that were dumping milkshakes on people during the lunch counter sit-ins were the bosses making hiring decisions for the next 40 years.

People have this rosy view that “well that was a problem and then we passed a law that fixed it” while ignoring that things don’t change overnight and it takes a full generation or two to get everything through the courts and actually see the fruits of the fix.

But some generations last longer than others. John Tyler, president of the country from 1841 to 1845 had kids. Those kids had kids. Until today one of those kids was still alive. 180 years for just three generations . Did he directly benefit from generational wealth gathered before the end of slavery? You know he did. The occasional “This was your grandfather’s” hand-me-down was something that existed while slavery was still a thing.

Things echo through history and sometimes the echo is louder for some than others. Here is a guy who was a kid during the Great Depression and had a grand dad that was over 35 years old two decades before the Civil War.

Don’t let people tell you “that was a long time ago. They should have got over it by now” when the only asset the family has was a predatory loan made for a redlined house that determined what school they went to and how the rest of their life was statistically not just determined but designed. Things like redlining didn’t just take advantage of poverty. It was designed to perpetuate it. And in the timeline of things it was outlawed less than a lifetime ago.

Remember what they took from us.

It simply has too many bits. I know that scene doesn’t quite work here. But it’s the first thing I thought of. This is just way over complicated for finding if a number is divisible by two.
