— sam boyer (@sdboyer) April 15, 2017
“…That Adams’s dive into theology is extremely half-assed is not, in his view, a problem; in fact, half-assedness has long been his guiding principle. For him, mediocrity is a feature, not a bug. Read Adams’s slew of other sacred texts—especially business advice books like The Dilbert Principle—and you will quickly grasp his message: you don’t need to be well-informed about anything if you are shoddily informed about many things. Just bite off a little bit of this and a little bit of that, masticate it around until it’s gooey and soft, and then spit it out to see where (and how much of) it sticks.
It’s not hard to see why Adams would see in Trump a pure expression of his divine ideal. During the run up to the election, Trump padded his team of advisers with mysterious foreign policy experts, garnered praise from a cohort of fringe Christian pastors, and surrounded himself with scandal-ridden politicos that faded in and out of view every few months.”

I had a day of testing by neuro experts this week. Good news and bad news:
a.) I’m cleared to ride a bike again. They didn’t say I should, but that I can. Second Impact Syndrome is no longer a concern.
b.) No coffee after noon. So when I went to ‘my’ coffee shop after my lunch break (it’s their first day open since the breakup!), instead of a refill, I got a piece of chocolate cheesecake. We cope how we can…
I’m waiting for the written report before I pedal anything outside. (Expected in 1 to 3 weeks.) Also need a new helmet, I gave my old one away. Good thing I kept a bike!
I aced some tests, and flunked others. The most educational tests I’ve ever taken.

And sometimes you have to learn how to walk again, and you find out you were doing it wrong in the first place. This has been a very educational experience. CL was one of my ‘brain buddies’. I saw her working harder than she used to after her brain incident. She checked her facts, did her research, and worked to get the right info to the people who cared. I’m starting with taking a lot more notes to make up for the memory shortfalls. And googling words to see if they mean the same thing they used to.

Milk is the new, creamy symbol of white racial purity in Donald Trump’s America

On 4chan, the internet’s hate speech hit factory, one anonymous poster laid this thesis out using the following graphic from a study in Nature, showing hotspots of where certain populations have higher milk tolerances.

That’s the first time my old age has given me credibility.
This new solar-powered device can pull water straight from the desert air
You can’t squeeze blood from a stone, but wringing water from the desert sky is now possible, thanks to a new spongelike device that uses sunlight to suck water vapor from air, even in low humidity. The device can produce nearly 3 liters of water per day for every kilogram of spongelike absorber it contains, and researchers say future versions will be even better. That means homes in the driest parts of the world could soon have a solar-powered appliance capable of delivering all the water they need, offering relief to billions of people.
There are an estimated 13 trillion liters of water floating in the atmosphere at any one time, equivalent to 10% of all of the freshwater in our planet’s lakes and rivers. Over the years, researchers have developed ways to grab a few trickles, such as using fine nets to wick water from fog banks, or power-hungry dehumidifiers to condense it out of the air. But both approaches require either very humid air or far too much electricity to be broadly useful.
To find an all-purpose solution, researchers led by Omar Yaghi, a chemist at the University of California, Berkeley, turned to a family of crystalline powders called metal organic frameworks, or MOFs. Yaghi developed the first MOFs—porous crystals that form continuous 3D networks—more than 20 years ago. The networks assemble in a Tinkertoy-like fashion from metal atoms that act as the hubs and sticklike organic compounds that link the hubs together. By choosing different metals and organics, chemists can dial in the properties of each MOF, controlling what gases bind to them, and how strongly they hold on.

Quite frankly, no one should be drinking milk once they have finished nursing as an infant. Milk is meant for baby cows-not for humans. You can thank Big Dairy for convincing you that you need to drink milk.
The milk thing is mostly a response from trolls / alt-light types because of an equally stupid article from a university student claiming milk is “pushed” to the detriment of African Americans’ health. Then PETA got in on it. Like the Stephen Miller’s “gang signs” that never actually existed, it’s now a thing. Stormfront seems divided on whether it’s actually a sign of racial superiority or “a jew thing.”

Big Dairy sounds like a Breitbart tab.
No one needs a cell phone either, so I guess Big Cell pushes that. In the meantime, Big Silicone pushes computers (and breast implants) that no one needs either.
There are other sources for milk than cows, and humans have been drinking milk as long as they have kept cattle.

LOL. (Personally I like Canada’s weather, but that’s me.)
That wingnut Ezra Levant accused (from Canada) George Soros of funding a group trying to prevent him from starting a television channel, and also accused Mr. Soros of collaborating with the Nazis as a child.
Mr. Soros threatened to sue Mr. Levant for libel, and Levant withdrew his article and apologised to Soros.
Apparently George Soros is such a threat to conservatism that he even causes wingnuts in Canada to froth at the mouth at the mention of his name.

Wolf Street: Uber Confirms Horrendous Loss in 2016
“Cementing its place as the most heavily-lossmaking private company in the history of Silicon Valley.”
On Good Friday, when markets were closed and when the entire financial world was tuned out, and when certainly no one was supposed to pay attention, Uber, the most highly valued - at $62.5 billion - and the most scandal plagued tech startup in the world, took the until now unprecedented step of disclosing its audited revenues and losses for the fourth quarter and for the full year of 2016.
Rumors of ballooning losses for 2016 had been swirling since last summer. Bloomberg reported in August that Uber had lost “at least $1.2 billion” in the first half. In December, Uber’s loss in Q3 was said to “exceed $800 million,” according to Bloomberg, and its annual loss “may hit $3 billion.” Others chimed in as some of Uber’s dozens of investors who’re getting its financial statements share them in dribs and drabs with the media.
But on Friday, Uber itself disclosed that it lost $2.8 billion before interest, tax, depreciation, and employee stock options - the latter likely being a big chunk, as the earnings of publicly traded companies that award stock-based compensation, such as Twitter, regularly show. Translated into a net loss, including the expense for stock-based compensation? Dizzying. But Uber wisely didn’t disclose it.
The Financial Times, which reported this disclosure, mused that Uber is “cementing its place as the most heavily-lossmaking private company in the history of Silicon Valley.”

I don’t know what is worse, the fact that law enforcement decided to turn a blind eye to the Sturmabteilung - inspired actions of the neo-Nazis who engaged in repeated acts of assault, or the fact that on several right-wing forums I browsed on there is a distinct air of disappointment that their bretheren didn’t actually start murdering people in mass on the street.

I keep seeing the Uber self-driving cars (they’re actually Volvo SUVs) in Tempe, most recently on Tuesday at the intersection of Priest and Broadway. These are the cars that Gov. Doug Ducey invited to Arizona after California insisted they be properly licensed.

A good point but I’ve seen other protests turn into police riots with very little provocation. There’s also a disconnect between the fearlessness I’ve seen in leftist protestors when confronting police vs an unwillingness today to really fuck up the alt right neo nazis. I don’t think this is a new status quo however, but will instead devolve further. If the cops don’t demonstrate a readiness to really step in then the future will see the unstable elements on both sides feeling an increasing mandate to show up armed for real battle.

So I managed to miss the news about Berkeley demonstrations, and wandered through downtown Berkeley while it was going on. Guess what — I was about a block away from the “epicenter” of the downtown demonstration and I didn’t.notice.anything.
A bit later, I walked right through the said epicenter, and there were some crowds (the “antifa” types). The Trumpists were apparently at Civic Center, about two blocks away. There was a line of police (face shields, no riot gear) blocking the route between the groups, and a group of backup police about a block away. I saw about 10 cops on motorcycles heading toward the area as I departed. No violence seen. (I understand that there were about 13 arrests.) Groups of normal weekend walkers (including me) were walking along Shattuck Avenue, where the antifas were gathered.
To add to the atmosphere, there was a Jews for Jesus guy standing near the BART entrance, conducting business as usual.
Another block along, on the lawn at the campus west entrance, the Indonesian Students Association was holding a do, with food for sale and a traditional musical group performing. Except for the helicopter overhead, no signs of trouble.

Have to say, they weren’t equpped for a police riot today — face masks, but no body armor or shields. This isn’t 60’s era Berkeley either. (In today’s case, my choice would be to stand well back and let the anarchists and the fascists have at it. A sweeping majority of Berkeley would agree with me.)

I was thinking if they push their crap too far they may start getting met with people that do not like fascist/racist thinking. Some of the dudes from the nearby cities (Oakland, Sacramento, Stockton, Modesto) may decide next demonstration they are going to be there to protect the lefty types and answer the challenge.
I hate violence. But it seems this country is heading for some bad stuff as we know who is in charge and how the police have been reacting to civil unrest.
And at the same time Trump is acting all tough on places like Syria, Afghanistan, North Korea, Mexico. I guess it all goes together in this political climate. Push until it pops.
