    Antiwork 2: No One Is Getting A Pay Raise

    Ugh. I don’t so much mind getting 3% raises, but I hate giving them! It’s “compensation planning” time for managers. We get 3% of the total of our employees’ salaries to dole out, so to give anyone more than 3%, you have to take it from someone else. Makes me sick to my stomach not to be...

    Space Exploration II: Always Looking up

    Ok, that makes more sense - I already saw the official release from SpaceX saying no fuel was on board, so I was confused by the massive fireball that Kepler posted. So many explosions, it’s hard to keep them all straight!

    Space Exploration II: Always Looking up

    I’ve been inside 8 of them, totaling 31 years. The heyday of the big primes was the 60s, 70s, and 80s, Then, (because of those heydays!), in 1984 they passed this little piece of legislation called the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR), which actually, legitimately did a lot to get rid of...

    119th congress: must be at least 75 to chair a committee!

    Wonder what committee chairmanship would it take to convince her to stay and flip to D. Maybe just promise her the honor of bringing the first impeachment charges in Jan 2027?

    World Soccer XXXI: Golden Generation?

    I always remember my parents' first trip to the Lake District. The local news was all abuzz because of the heat wave and all the hospitalizations that were occurring because of it. The high temperatures were in the upper 70s.

    US Foreign Policy 4.0: making the world safe to flee to if the MAGAts win here

    France was unusual, if not unique, in that they granted full French citizenship to their conquered colonists throughout the colonial period. For example, St. Barts is not a wholly owned subsidiary of France - it *IS* France. French passports, euro as currency, the works.

    Business, Economics, and Taxes 2: That's Why We Fight to Take the Means Back

    Long but maddeningly, completely correct: The Normalcy Illusion By Tony Pentimalli It would be easy to dismiss Bill Maher’s latest monologue as another tired commentary from a man who has not updated his political worldview since the Clinton presidency, but that would miss the point. What...

    Business, Economics, and Taxes 2: That's Why We Fight to Take the Means Back

    This. I always chose window, but I don’t care about the view - I care about the wall, as I find it far more comfortable to lean my head against it for sleeping.

    Yep - from living in Oxford ("southern" England), I know that it is roughly the same latitude as the southern tip of Hudson Bay - most of the UK is north of THAT. Edinburgh, Scotland is just a bit south of Juneau, AK.

    College Football 2025

    That snag is still just the 2nd best catch of the day - wow! Someday I'm sure I'll feel empathy for Penn State again - I have multiple family ties. I searched my feelings deeply, and came up empty, so I guess today is still not that day.

    Not at all. Just as how people rationalized bloodletting failures for centuries (“wow, the patient was so sick, not even bloodletting could save them”), conservatives just say, “See how bad the Biden economy was? Not even Trump can get it turned around!”
