And yet that drunk Hegseth still keeps his job.

Never knew Alanis did this, hah.

https://nytimes.com/2025/07/05/us/politics/texas-floods-warnings-vacancies.html "In an interview, Rob Kelly, the Kerr County judge and its most senior elected official, said the county did not have a warning system because such systems are expensive, and local residents are resistant to new spending. “Taxpayers won’t pay for it,” Mr. Kelly said. Asked if people might reconsider in light of the catastrophe, he said, “I don’t know.” "

The masses need their opium.

Happy Independence Day to you Americans.

Kenneth Colley, well, died on June 30th. I liked him in Firefox

Canada Day here, at least it's a day off. Still babysitting some process, amazing idea we had to chuck cache files in ONE S3 bucket. So trying to remove a day's worth has to be done pretty brute force. Windows also sucks for not having something as simple as nohup.

Back home the British used to play the Indians and Black people against each other, to this day it still causes problems in the country. Luckily nothing near race wars, but the politics are still divisive. Hatreds have a long tail.

Think I am done with Door Kickers 2, not a fan of the CIA squad and the Nowheraki (great name, better than Carbombya, I guess) SWAT are such trash it's tedious.

Didn't write that it was. But I see Americans and Anglos take a binary approach to it so often, for a pretty obvious reason. Same with 'analysis' of Haitian history.

If I shoot you in the knees, your marathon career later will be impacted. It isn't a simple thing, and not one thing is to blame for any nation being where it is, but hard to deny the knock on effects of colonialism, Africa being a Cold War battlefield. Belgium for example, has a lot to answer for.

Canada caved on our digital sales tax, I guess that is something we can afford to give up to spare some other tantrum. Only issue is the Americans won't stop there, I gues

Nothing like missing key emails on my dental insurance due to sheer noise in my inbox Ahh, ****

Hegseth's ranting about the Iran bombing is something else. Also, calling it the most complex operation in history is peak Trump administration.

Casual.

https://www.cnn.com/2025/06/24/politics/intel-assessment-us-strikes-iran-nuclear-sites "The analysis of the damage to the sites and the impact of the strikes on Iran’s nuclear ambitions is ongoing, and could change as more intelligence becomes available. But the early findings are at odds with President Donald Trump’s repeated claims that the strikes “completely and totally obliterated” Iran’s nuclear enrichment facilities. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth also said on Sunday that Iran’s nuclear ambitions “have been obliterated.” "

Rutte shows how to work Trump

Such power

Playing Door Kickers 2, the missions are too big sometimes, I don't feel like taking on 81 terrorists with my 6 guys or something though as I'm forced to do in the campaigns. More progression system stuff as well, but we all love those. Still somewhat fun And has funny tips, given I'm playing as US Special Forces.

Looks like the usual "let's kill people while we can" approach to ceasefires.
