Kerry
Well you, held my hand,
And took me right back down to Hell,
I’ve got and Angel on my shoulder,
And a Devil in my head,
, Kaskade, 2010
Gwendy chose her, I knew she would find me a good Bot, and damn if she didn’t,
A sweet Redhead, 5’8” nice Boobs and a scrappy, determined voice, and very intelligent, She chose well, K we called her, but she never gave her name, it’s in the records, but why look, Brains, Beauty, she was accepted as one of the boys, she was that good. Programmed to be attracted to me, I melted, and fell in Love, like the idiot I am, Bots are that good now. Wendy knew it would last as long as the journey, so she bought me one, as a going away present.
Her name was Kerry Gold, Science Officer, she did her job very well, and fucked me better,
We spent many a night discussing things political, then she would turn to me to ask ,Why?
“Let’s ask You? Why do you keep calling me Bob on Deck?” Well, it is your name, “NOT ON DECK” “you are still a crewman, try to follow orders on deck, ya little vixen” as she slid her breasts around my willing flesh…
(Memory access 2552) I was taught by my Father, never have an affair with a Bot, it only leads to sadness and misery, and he was right, it’s bad enough to grieve for someone you have lost, knowing she Sent the Machine for my pleasure and companionship just makes it worse. I’m a sucker for the type of Woman that K is programmed for, so why not have some feelings for her/it? I know she’s not a real Woman, but a Damn fine imitation, and that’s good enough,
(close Memory access)
She has become a distraction, as if her program has been altered, sending me random Body shots, and hints to leave the Bridge while on duty, and I will confess to breaking my own protocols to be with her, and a guarantee of no sleep that night, leaves me Beat down in the mornings, but I never let it show, until…
Cap, Cap! Wake up! Or should I call you Bob? “Go Fuck yourself Sensors, I’m CAPTAIN Adama to you Boy, don’t forget it, now what’s up?” The Bitch said my Hidden name enough, the entire crew has power over me now, Fuck! Maybe I should stasis their asses and delete those memories for good, but no, they are a good crew, not worth erasing them.
“Kerry, come over here please” as she comes and sits in my lap, she just wiggles so perfect, it’s hard, to say no, “look, we need to get you to shut up, if you don’t I’ll lose control of the ship and all we are working for” Maybe YOU should shut up, BOB, who is this we you speak of? I didn’t volunteer, I don’t get paid, and I am programmed to obey your every wish, how’s that working out for you? She had a point, “what is it, Money? We will make you rich, freedom? After this trip, you are a freebot, I already signed the docs,” No Bob, I need You, with me all the time, Forever.
Now this is getting creepy, I’ll live to be 250 or so but Bots? Who knows, with maintenance, 500, a thousand years? Does she even know what forever means? “Sugarpants, lets just have some fun and be friends for now, we’ll see how it goes” Never give up your feelings, you will get hurt. So now I have a dead Wife who gave me a Hot Bot, what to do, what to do…… Then she jumped my Bones, again,
To be Continued
“I know she’s not a real Woman, but a Damn fine imitation, and that’s good enough,”
That’s a real Dick move.

You musicians I am envious of. You weren’t on the zoom when I displayed my latest mid life crisis purchase. A surf green cheap ass Squire telecaster. Which reminds me I need to do some amazon shopping.
DUDE! I want it! I’ll trade you for my Real Tele, Red, Bad ass! Call me!
/No kidding, Mint Green?
Nooooo, it is surf green.
I’ll still trade, My Tele is 1 owner, and perfect,
Bro, you can get one for 200 clams from Guitar Center.

Pretty, now tell me how it plays
/The Only thing that counts
It’s beautiful.
There is sample audio at the bottom of the page.
Very clear, bell-like tone.
NICE! That thing is a beauty! What BP told me is you can learn to play. All the lessons suck but at least they are free! That made me laugh.
Music is Hard, I guess, Guitar is not, go play Old Man!
I’ll take that Bad boy and install some better pickups and a rewire the whole thing, and make it a real guitar,
I don’t need a real guitar. I just want to learn. My last mid life crisis 20 years ago I bought and Ibanez acoustic and a squire strat. Had some fun and made up some riffs but I have the musical talent of a shit bucket. I took guitar lessons when I was about 8 or 10 but my instructor ditched my podunk mountain town for a job in Hawaii. Fuck that guy. How does one podunk town have one guitar instructor? It was a musical instruction wasteland. I am now claiming a deprived childhood and demanding reparations.
My 35 year old Squire Bass, might have word about real guitars, I love you got a Green Tele!
Always anted one, I own 5,
Wanted one,
I got my kid an Epi les Paul and it plays surprisingly nice. Prolly about as good as some of the MIJ copies back in the eighties. I got myself a 2014 Melody maker les Paul. It got p90s and weighs far less than a full sized LP. Usa build quality and plays like a dream. Not crazy more than your tele costs, either. I love it.
I buy nice, broken Teles, and rebuilt them, and then sell em, god money in hand crafted Electronics,
I’ve always had a hankerin for a nice Thinline in natural finish. Just never willing to pony up that much for one.
Looks like I’m not the only one. My Zima Blue 2020 Champan ML1 Pro.

Sorry, that’s Ugly, how does it play?
The hell you say, my guitar is gorgeous. The finish even matches the grips on my Shadow 2.
How does it play? Dude, I’ve been playing guitar for less than a week. Ask me this time next year. All I know is that when I pick it up, I can’t help grinning like an idiot.
Sorry, still Ugly

This is the first time that the term, ” gender assigned at birth” makes any fucking sense at all.
At this point in the timeline, the Bots are as much flesh as Automation, a little tuning and Voila1, Sexbot!
Capn Bob is weaving us an intriguing tale, alright.
His intellect knows the bot is artificial and its behavior is programmed, but it’s such a close imitation of a real human that it can fool the body—and the heart.
Or… a penis has only one eye and that one is blind.

John Speer, the chief administrator for the Grant Wood Area Education Agency, which supports 32 public school districts in the Cedar Rapids and Iowa City area.
“You just have X number of students who you no longer have any idea where they are, where they went, or what they’re doing,” Speer said.
The 32 districts that the Grant Wood AEA serves collectively lost around 1,100 students this year. In a normal year, they’d gain 200-600.
“I know schools, all of us we’re asking each other the same question, like where did kids go? Ultimately we think that a lot of them just chose not to enroll for whatever reason and you know unfortunately there are ways that families can do that through home school where they don’t have to notify us,” Nathan Wear, associate superintendent of the Linn-Mar Community School District, said.
Some families may have chosen to home school during the pandemic.

People can just go and home school their children without notifying the school district? My god, they’re giving me the vapors!
I sure hope this crimps the style of Prof. Elizabeth Bartholet and her anti-home-schooling* crusade.
*Oops, that’s totally a distortion because she would allow parents to homeschool if they get special government permission.
I just saw a video (stossel) about colleges eliminating the ACT and SAT tests for college admissions, because it results in whites being over represented in colleges relative to people of color (Except for Asians, of course).
So if standardized tests are thrown out across the board, how do homeschooled kids show they’ve learned? Standardized tests don’t tell the whole story but they have their place.
I don’t believe they really will for long because the only reason schools use those tests is they are the most predicative of college academic success.
They’re not all that predictive, mind you, but no other tool colleges havre to predict student performance even comes close.
When the UC system was looking at this, this is what every education big wig there was pointing out;… quite nervously.
If you want be sure your academic ranking and standards plummet, be my guest. Go ahead an don’t use standardized tests.

He had a radio show in L.A. back in the nineties. He was kinda cool, as far as AM radio hosts go.
I thoroughly enjoyed that show… Him and Jerry Doyle were very good when a local station converted to talk back in the day.
That’s a good description. Sometimes he was great fun. Other times I had to turn the dial.
He was also one of the best villains on Miami Vice.

If I can offer some advice to you youngins, take care of your knees.
Don’t run through the halls of your high-school in wrestling shoes for 4 seasons.
Don’t parkour through the horse trails at summer camp for 8 seasons.
Don’t buy cheap-ass shoes.
Choose your parents and your grandparents wisely.
Whatever you do, don’t get arthritis in your knees. It sucks.
You left off the activity that really blew out your knees.

Dude, I made it walking two miles every day this week. The pain near the end was excruciating*. Walking downhill on bad knees is pure hell.
*like I couldn’t talk excruciating.
I Avg, 10 miles a day, insane, but good for me,
That sucks, Nick.
My knees got that bad when I was still running.
Exercise without impact is crucial.
I did lots of elliptical and some swimming and can walk decently now.
A good rowing machine is well worth the investment if anyone has bad knees.
I thought it’s all about groaning audibly when you bend over or straighten back up. Lets off the bad air that causes joint pain.
No. I’m fairly flexible. I stretch everyday.
I groan because my fucking knees ache. There is no meniscus left. It is bone on bone. Grind, baby, grind.
My shitty knees are the least of my worries lately, even though that’s how it all started…[remainder of the story deleted because it’s fucking boring]
It’s good because I didn’t want to hear your story.

“For decades, many of Eugene Debs’s admirers have claimed that the socialist leader was a good, patriotic American unsullied by a foreign doctrine like Marxism. But the Cold War is over, and there’s no need to be defensive: Debs was a Marxist who rightly opposed American nationalism….
“The Pullman strike began to undermine Debs’s belief that capital and labor had common interests and that capital’s political power could be overcome by working-class organization within the capitalist state….
“After his encounter with Marxism, Debs came to view the right to private property not as the basis of liberty, but a title to despotism….
“When Debs rejected the traditional American ideal of propertied individual independence, he came to think of freedom as rooted in the shared enjoyment of socially produced wealth. In Debs’s mature view, comprehensive security should be provided to all as a matter of right, with everyone’s living standard raised equally in proportion to technological progress. Economic liberty would not be realized in the pursuit of individual advantage but through collective self-government: participating in democratically planned production and distribution according to need….
“…global interdependence, which has only intensified in the past century, is overladen with social misery even as it produces the possibility of a higher form of life, one that moves beyond myths of race and nation to grasp the collective power of humanity in making our world and controlling our common fate.”

I don’t have a common fate.
Neither does anyone else.

So Cisco”Live” was today and tomorrow. Forgot about day one and registering and looked at the agenda tonight for the first time. The free track is almost completely worthless with little technical content (as I might have guessed). The paid track wasn’t much better and I’d never pay for an online conference after wasting my time on previous ones. Apparently they think the crappy entertainment for conferences is the biggest draw and needs to be included this year as well.
Oh… and then there’s this lunchtime session (that they dare not call a brown bag) on both tracks:
Equality, Resilience and Giving Back: Billie Jean King and Serena Williams
Thank god they offered up something that no one else is doing!
Take my money!
How about a premium subscription?
“Cocktails & Conversations: Stacking your bench – Creating a positive team environment with a focus on diversity, equality and inclusion”
It’s laughable that all of the Women of Cisco sessions are under the Cocktails & Conversations banner. Way to live up to stereotypes.
“equality” ?
It’s “equity” now – do keep up, Cisco.

Nothing says, “we represent technical excellence” like throwing thousands of dollars at multi-millionaire professional athletes to talk about how they were oppressed.
It may not say “technical excellence,” it may say “insurance against boycotts and ‘hostile environment’ lawsuits.”
I’m that guy, th insurance
agent,
“insurance against boycotts and ‘hostile environment’ lawsuits.”
If only they were that cynical. No, they’re true believers, both in the C-Suite, and in the comms and marketing departments putting these things together. They think they’re doing the right thing and being good community members. They’ve literally been convinced that bigotry, sexism, and racism is a good thing if you slap an anti- in front of it and target straight white men. If they were just doing it to check the box, the chief diversity officer would be sitting at a booth in a corner selling indulgences to gullible dolts.
C-suite doesn’t really care, marketing might, but HR very much does and they drive the other two. It’s amazing how much of the HR tail has ended up wagging the dog.
I really think that, at least for the big tech companies, the rot has seeped into the boardroom. I’ve heard c-suiters in informal conversations talking like they majored in gender studies. Whether or not each and every one of them cares personally, enough of them do to chill any dissent, and they’re all measured on I&D goals these days, so they’re forced to tow the lion.
they’re all measured on I&D goals these days, so they’re forced to tow the lion.
That is certainly true, so it may be a distinction without difference. Whether they believe it not, they’re going to push it.
So far, D&I objectives are optional for people below the VP level. So far.
It’s every single conference and webinar now. Not that these trade shows were ever technical deep dives, but you used to be able to sit through a handful of sessions and get an idea of the company’s portfolio and generally how each product worked.
These days, not so much. Yet another glaring example showing how the SV tech companies have lost their way.
I still use presentation decks from past Cisco Lives. Used to be some nuggets in the chaff.
I’ve been to our company’s equivalent in the past (never got a chance to do Cisco live when I worked there, though), and this last year’s iteration was noticeably worse. I half wrote it off as covid related, but the number of presentations from HR was offputting. Our customers have zero reason to be interfacing with HR.
Not that these trade events are the end all, be all, but there’s a huge opportunity for some up and coming company to do it the “old way” and actually have potential customers walk away with with rich amount of information on their product offerings.
Yeah, there’s a much smaller equipment vendor that used to put on stellar trade show and conference. Multiple technical tracks, tutorials, and so on. The last couple years have had a slide even without introducing DIE topics, but the company has also been struggling I think (based on staff departures and new hires).
I’m out on my 5 hours of sleep routine, see you at the end of the thread, Thanks!

’Just getting to the KDW article in NR re: Elizabeth Warren. I often disagree with him but, dammit, can the man write:
That is a sentence for the ages.
I rarely disagree with him and that article was awesome.
He loses me on things like this – “but China!”. The DOE has fuck-all to do with doing the equivalent of China’s throwing money at foreign research in order to get a toehold in various institutions.
We could, properly, devolve education to local governments while still pursuing that sort of foreign-policy-by-other-means, if that were important to us as a nation.
Charles Cooke got the better of him on their podcast IMO. KDW did not have a good defense. Still, he is thoughtful and that’s about all I ask for.

https://www.politico.com/news/2021/03/30/proud-boys-organizer-fbi-antifa-inquiries-478456
So that’s the second senior Proud Boys leader that’s a snitch for cops. What are the odds it’s thoroughly penetrated and little more than an FBI front group, along with many other parts of the rabble? How many leftist militant orgs are likewise government fronts? More than 50%?
“a snitch for cops”
Is that a fair characterization? I read:
“talked to authorities about Antifa” (nice that it’s just ‘antifa’ in the headline – “It’s just an idea”)
and
“These talks were intended both to inform law enforcement about Proud Boy activities in Portland on a courtesy basis but also to ask for advice on planned marches or demonstrations, i.e., what march routes to take on Portland streets, where to go, where not to go. Similar conversations were held regularly with local police and FBI personnel for less major events in other cities.”
Is that snitching? That doesn’t read like snitching.
Snitch is perhaps too much of a pejorative. FBI informant? Seems to be more than just liaising for events.
Proud Boys were never anti-cop, AFIAIK, unlike Antifia – talking to the cops before a march seems totally in line with (what I believe to be ) their sensibilities.
They’d have to be grassing out Proud Boys members _to_ the Feds to earn the sobriquet of ‘snitch’.
Editing fun. Too meta?

American bald eagle versus poisonous algae. It’s hard to tell whom to root for, isn’t it?
“Susan Wilde, an associate professor of aquatic science at the Warner School, first identified the cyanobacteria that was named Aetokthonos hydrillicola, Latin for “eagle killer that grows on hydrilla,” according to UGA Today.”
Gangsta-style name or not, this is not a sympathetic algae.
But the eagles are winning:
“The news of this discovery came the same week the U.S. Department of the Interior announced the number of American bald eagles has quadrupled since 2009. Once on the brink of extinction, bald eagles now number over 300,000.”

The breadth and depth of retardation isn’t an oxymoron, but the result of decades of naval gazing. Fantasies of forcing other humans into creating a world ideated by minds incapable of grasping even the tiniest fraction of objective reality are indulged by lawmakers, the media and academics. Brute force is pixelated because the ass fucking involved with every decree from every mini tyrant would be considered vulgar if presented in HD. Fear manufactures iron fists faster than Fauci felching a falsehood.
Grumblings of discontent are greeted with the spotlight from the gulag tower and inmates rush out to pummel the perpetrator. In return the inmates get dopamine main lined to ease their pain. Contradictions obvious to all, yet only recognized by some, are hand waved away in the name of evolving science. Yesterday’s truth only matters if it justifies tomorrow’s beatings.
There is no danger more dangerous than the danger the mini tyrants train their gaze upon. The solution they propose won’t be a cure to that danger, but rather the danger they fear most; loss of power.

It should be a given that for every bureaucratic position out there, there’s a great deal of money and job security to be had in prolonging the problem. At this point, I find it hard to believe that anyone proposing government solutions to anything is not acting out of naivete, ignorance (and/or stupidity), or simple bad faith.

Perfect allegory for this administration.
Putting a dog that’s obviously skittish in a public situation like the White House is inhumane. It doesn’t work out too well for the humans either and I’d imagine they don’t appreciate having to be giving the side eye to the President’s bitey pet.
whaddup doh’ ?
whats goody, fam ?
I’m not sure what you just said.
Gee whiz, UCS. Don’t be so white.

Howdy Tres, back at the farm, up nya!
Got yer Tall Cans out?
SMALL CANS!
But I got 30 of em!
Me. I’m up.
D’oh!
Good morning, homey, and you, too, Yu & UCS (Sean & Stinky, too!)
… Snow is in the forecast for tomorrow.
Is this some sort of April Fool’s joke by the weather?
Nope, typical Michigan Spring, T shirts yesterday, winter gear tomorrow,
Flurries here (I hope that’s all) and a high only in the upper 30s. I’m still worried about our magnolia, which is just getting ready to bloom. 🙁
I need a vacation.
Tell me about it. I have to work Good Friday and Easter Sunday because scheduling at one of my sites. Ah well, Ka-Ching! The other site will lie fallow for four days. Thursday and Saturday off but it just ain’t the same.
#metoo. The state park lodges keep trying to lure me back with promos, but I know they’ll be the last places to unmask, which would spoil the whole experience.
Mornin’ Glibbies! So the wordpress shit-storm has passed? Good to know.
While the shit-storm called Western Civilization continues unabated.
Praise Folly!
It’s gotten uglier. They have a new term here for lock-downs. They call it a “Circuit Breaker”. Three more weeks of restaurants, gyms and churches being verboten. These public health officials can die in a fire.
Oh shit! That sucks.
Sucks for everyone that does those things and sucks for Freedom in general. The lockdowns have barely moved my personal, misanthropic gauge but I’m about done with masking. I’m hoping that there is some pushback once Spring has sprung and the the grass is riz!
Just three more weeks to flatten your soul.
^ That was quite inspired, TH!
Shhhhhh! Don’t jinx it!
Mornin’ Fes!
Hiya Red! Someone at the main site seems to have a hair across xer ass about me. Two more work orders yesterday from the Compliance Officer. That makes five since Monday. Somebody has too much time on xer hands and a clipboard. I know who it is and xe hates me.
So the wordpress shit-storm has passed?
Commenting is better. Front page is still stalled.
Had a brisket rubbed down that I tossed into the crockpot before I left last night. The crib smells awesome.
Beer, brisket, and AIGS for supper-breakfast !
I take it Jugsy is away? You’ll be floating up to ceiling if your sheets are tucked tight…
Yup. I think this is almost month #2 of her being gone Monday-Friday.
Awwww

We should go back to simpler times, when the politicians didn’t address the media, they addressed the mob.
Oh, FFS.

Well hello dystopian future!
Why is that dude on the street? WTF?
No mention of time served or when he killed his mother (journalisming!). He’s 38, so it could have been quite awhile and he was paroled per usual.
Asserted without evidence. Could be true, but I have zero basis for deciding one way or another.
But it’s still imperative they push the AsIaN hAtE angle because of course it is.
It has nothing to do with a psychopathic killer let loose on the streets by our government. The same government mandating that we pay to support said psychopathic killer by putting him up in a hotel in one of the most expensive cities in the world. Also, you’re all racist!
*Looks at hands typing* Can confirm!
I have two big questions whenever I see shit like that in the media:
1. Is there actually an uptick in violent attacks against Asians that is out of proportion to the general increase in crime?
2. Is there any actual evidence (confessions, statements of motive, etc) that these attacks are motivated by race and not by something else (personal dispute, robbery, mental illness, etc)?
