A federal judge in California ordered Eastman last week to begin processing 1,500 pages a day out of about 90,000 pages of records and turning over any non-privileged documents — and itemize those he believes are privileged. https://t.co/ccAOTEOS7q
— Kyle Cheney (@kyledcheney) January 31, 2022
If you’re on the edge of your seat: The hearing is in a brief recess because of a discussion about whether Eastman and the Jan. 6 committee are able to provide the results of their review in Excel format. The discussion seemed to frustrate the judge, who walked away.
— Kyle Cheney (@kyledcheney) January 31, 2022
UPDATE: The judge says he intends to increase the required daily output from Eastman to 2,000 pages a day, or remain at 1,500 pages a day but increase to six days per week. At current pace of 1,500/day 5 days/ week, it’d take 13 weeks to complete the review, he says.

Agree. However, Anymouse tended to attack Christians with a broad brush and never wanted to acknowledge that was inappropriate.
I don’t do any social media and only joined here because CuriousLurker so closely reflected my own views on religion.
I’ve seen too many total assholes who give their faith a bad name. But I’ve also known some amazing people whose faith drove them to make great sacrifices to help others. So the broad brush tended to piss me off.
I miss Joe, and am sad that he left due to some criticism. This blog has a caring community but that doesn’t mean complete acceptance of everything said. But discussion of various perspectives is part of what makes this community valuable.
I also miss teleskiguy, and always tried to support him both in his joys and his struggles. His departure disappointed me but I feel it’s his loss.
Bottom line is it makes me cranky. But then, what doesn’t?

My guess is that the pilot had some nasty crosswinds. The pilot did the right thing, TOGA is never fun or easy, I’ve been on a few planes doing it, including a fully loaded 747-200. Also, the A321 Neo is a long plane, about as long as the 757. I’m flying it to Kona in a month, haven’t been on the Neo yet, looking forward to it. The A321 Neo and its new LR (flying), and XLR (still being built) are the planes that finally replace the 757. The 757 was a beast, it could fly long ETOPS routes, as well as short hops. It could operate well in high/heat airports and with shorter runways. Boeing rues the day it stopped making it, the last one made was in 2015.
I like this perspective - remember, we didn’t let Bin Laden get away with it either:
9/11 was Bin Laden’s one big shot. It cost him his home base, his ability to freely communicate, and so on. 1/6 was Trump’s one big shot, and it cost him in roughly the same way. All Bin Laden had left after 9/11 was the ability to scare us just for kicks. Same as Trump now.
— Palmer Report (@PalmerReport) February 1, 2022
Trump is dangerous post-1/6 in much the same way Bin Laden was dangerous post 9/11. In spite of having little actual power or muscle, his increasingly histrionic empty threats and calls for violence can have unpredictable dangerous fallout – but with no chance of benefiting him.

How a new proposal to stop Trump from stealing the 2024 election could backfire
by Judd Legum
popular.info
The proposal being advocated by some Democrats to require a supermajority to reject a slate of electors would make combating a rogue Governor like Perdue very difficult. A relatively small number of Trump headliners in the House (less than 150) would be all that’s necessary for Congress to rubber-stamp a stolen election.
Republicans who have endorsed Trump’s false claims of election fraud are also running for governor in the swing states of Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
House Administration Committee proposal would “authorize candidates to seek injunctive relief” if a Governor submitted an inaccurate slate of electors to Congress. But it’s unclear how willing courts would be to intervene in those circumstances. And the idea that the judiciary — and ultimately the Supreme Court — will insulate the process from political gamesmanship is antiquated.

Former President Donald Trump’s political action committee donated $1 million to the conservative nonprofit organization where his former chief of staff, Mark Meadows, is a senior partner,” NBC News reports.“The contribution to Meadows’s nonprofit stands out both for its size and for its timing. On July 1, the House voted to establish a select committee to investigate the Capitol attack. Trump’s PAC donated to the Conservative Partnership Institute, which bills itself as a training ground for conservative staff and elected officials, on July 26.”

Average death rate from Oct. to Nov. 2021
Unvaccinated: 7.8
Vaccinated, no booster: 0.6
+Booster 0.1
This intrigues me. My math sucks. My grasp of statistics is even worse. Does this mean that if I were in a room with a 100 random people, and death was at the front pulling numbers out of a little jury selection spinning bingo selector, that roughly 8 out of 100 people would die, but that the unvaccinated people would simply have to die when their number is called, whereas the vaccinated people would get to have a reroll 15 times (roughly 8 divided by .5), whereas a boosted person would in a sense get to say “reroll” SEVENTY EIGHT times to death, if their number got called? I know I’m oversimplifying that wildly, but I’m trying to think of this in a way that could be possibly used to help unvaxxed people understand this in a way that the data might not immediately do for them.

Like this: Say you went to a massive sportsball event with 100,000 people, and all of them caught COVID. If all of them were unvaccinated, 8 of them would die within a month. (Note: This is not the same as the disease’s death rate, as we’ve seen people hang on for a long time in the hospital before expiring.) If they were vaccinated but not boosted, there’d be a 60/40 chance that one person would die within the month. If they were all boosted, there’d be a 1-in-10 chance that one person would die within a month.

An interesting short documentary about the fiasco known as “Submarine Quest” at SeaWorld San Diego.
For the *nixers:
Polkit, a system-wide privilege manager for Unix-like operating systems, contains a 12-year-old memory-corruption vulnerability that grants attackers root privileges on systems running most major Linux distributions, warn researchers at security firm Qualys. Users can execute commands with high privileges using Polkit’s pkexec component, followed by the command; people with limited system control can exploit the PwnKit flaw in pkexec to escalate privileges all the way to root. According to Qualys’ Bharat Jogi, “The most likely attack scenario is from an internal threat where a malicious user can escalate from no privileges whatsoever to full root privileges. From an external threat perspective, if an attacker has been able to gain foothold on a system via another vulnerability or a password breach, that attacker can then escalate to full root privileges through this vulnerability.” A separate source released proof-of-concept exploit code; researchers warn PwnKit’s exploitation in the wild is inevitable.

My mother-in-law, who is 80, keeps insisting on answering her cell phone. When it’s a marketer, she says she asks for that person’s senior VP and the person inevitably hangs up.
I mean, we should be grateful she’s at least aware enough to be skeptical of these calls, but she’s convinced that every worker in America lives in fear of their senior VP getting Involved in a situation. LIke, just asking for a manager wouldn’t do it. No sir, only the senior VP can save the day here.
Given her egomania, I’m guessing that was the title of her last few jobs prior to retirement were.

I’d actually disagree with that. He’s still playing at a ridiculously high level, and if properly equipped with a stout O-line and some good receivers/tight ends, he could probably do pretty well. I remember Bartolo Colón, from baseball.
I am sure everyone has seen this, but I never caught his name before:
Wild dashcam footage has emerged of the moment a Florida man opened fire on another driver during a heated road-rage shooting in the middle of a busy interstate.
Eric Popper, 30, was arrested over the June 2021 ordeal on I-95 in Miami after authorities said he fired nearly a dozen shots at the passing motorist.
The chilling video from Popper’s own dashcam, which was only made public Saturday by radio host Andy Slater, showed him shooting through his own windshield as he aimed for the other driver.
Investigators said the ordeal unfolded when Popper, who was driving his black Toyota Venza, abruptly cut off the other driver as he changed lanes in the morning rush hour, Local10 reported.
The dashcam video shows Popper glancing in his rear-view mirror and shouting “F-k off” as the other driver honked his horn.
Popper then allegedly slammed on his brakes as the driver started tailgating him and making hand gestures out the window, authorities said.

I decided to take this thing apart because I have a new motherboard coming that will fit in there. I had three 3TB hard drives in it configured with Win storage spaces but it was surplus to my needs and I had retired it to a shelf in the basement. I decided I would use this other box for the new build:
I ended up with several hard drives, including the 3 from the storage spaces box. I figured I could easily reformat those and put them back for spares for my current NAS.
Wrong! I put one drive into an external USB thingy but it wouldn’t show in file manager. It wouldn’t even show up in Windows disk manager. After much time with the google I stumbled across a method that would let me take it out of read only mode via power shell after wading through a bunch of notifications that my storage space was severely degraded and need attention. I finally finished the formatting this morning in time for lunch.

I don’t think NFTs are a worthless idea. Yes, the drawings of apes in tophats are just weird and seem very stupid. But there are some legitimate reasons for NFTs; one is that musicians can have more control over their music, track resales and collect royalties without having to go through a label or streaming service. And real artists (not the bored ape weirdos) can do the same. For real collectibles, this is also a way for the collector to know the provenance of the art.
Yeah, there are scams and fads happening, but I hesitate to condemn the whole concept because it has some real benefits as well.
