If All You See…

…is a massive sunburn from an overheated carbon pollution world, you might just be a Warmist

The blog of the day is Weasel Zippers, with a post on Biden knowing more than everyone else. So he thinks.

It’s cosplay week!

A couple things. Let’s tone down the personal insults, they’re getting out of control again. Thank you.

If you have a Dell computer and notice that your WiFi speed stinks, go and disable SmartByte Network Service. I was wondering why my WiFi on my laptop was testing so low. Was testing a lot earlier last week, there’s a problem with the Spectrum internet, there’s a problem with the big unit at the street that serves multiple townhomes, they have to replace it. Before disabling I was running between 15 and 30mbs, now typically 170-250mps (not stable because of that unit).

Interestingly, I found out that using an ethernet cable was not optimal. Most TVs, including mine, and Kindle Firesticks are only CAT5, so, no more than 100mbs, but, will mostly be under 20-25mbs. More stable, yes, but, I’m noticing better TV resolution with the WiFi now. If speed tests would peg near 100, I’d be fine, that’s more than enough for what you need for streaming up to 4K. Really only need about 40-50mbs.

Anyhow, have a great week, everyone!

    Seven people have been killed and 10 others were injured after a car plowed into a crowd outside a shelter serving migrants and homeless people in Brownsville, Texas, on Sunday, and investigators believe it may have been intentional, according to authorities.

    The car careened into the crowd of people who were sitting on the curb at a bus stop near the Ozanam Center at about 8.30am, the police department in Brownsville, which is near Texas’s border with Mexico, said. That came four days before the scheduled expiration of Title 42, the Covid-19 era policy that allows border patrol agents to swiftly expel migrants at the US’s southern border.

    PSSI Foods, JBS Meat Packing and Blackstone investments were busted for employing hundreds of 13-17 year olds in dangerous jobs.

    Texas Mall mass murder shooter identified as rightwing extremist
    Still proud to be in that group Teach

  6. H says:

    Blackstone manages $8,500,000,000,000
    Oklahoma has 10,500,000,000
    That shows the difference in Oklahoma’s 10 billion total investments and Blackstone’s 8 TRILLION MANAGED ASSETS.

    ZEROS MATTER

      “Zeros matter”. And that changes Oklahoma’s position of banning them…how?

    Johnny-yes, the name Mauricio Martinez Garcia sure sounds like some kind of white supremacist, but you never know…

    • Professor Hale says:

      Those White supemacists are a really inclusive bunch, it seems.

      In the first day after such things, the media always tries to paint the murderer as a right winger. Then the story gets memory-holed when they discover his leftist manifesto. I wonder what this guy’s tweets and tocks will reveal.

      What we know so far in similar incidents is that leftists are really a bunch of violent nut-cases. That’s what comes from an ideology about how “breaking a few eggs” is necessary.

      Perhaps common sense gun control should include disarming anyone who votes Democrat.

      • Elwood P. Dowd says:

        From his extensive postings in social media Mauricio Garcia gave every appearance of being a right-wing extremist, denigrating Jews, minorities, women and diversity. He had a Right Wing Death Squad patch on his tactical vest.

        from the New York Post:

        Garcia, 33, shared more than two dozen photos of the Allen Premium Outlets on extremist forums in the weeks leading up to his mass shooting, seemingly determining what would be the most packed time at the mall to unleash the greatest carnage, NBC reported.

        The deadly shooting, which killed eight people, took place around 3:30 p.m. Saturday, typically when the shopping center is most crowded, according to the Google’s analytics that Garcia posted.

        In addition to the disturbing snaps, Garcia shared several posts targeting Jewish people, women and racial minorities on the Russian social-networking platform OK.RU and 4chan.

        Many of Garcia’s posts were misogynistic and celebrated “incel” culture. Some posts involved ”incel” mass murderer Elliot Rodger, who killed six people and injured 14 before killing himself in Isla Vista, Calif., in 2014.

        His short stint in the Army ended for mental health reasons, yet in Texas he was able to obtain an arsenal.

        But conservatives may be right. There is nothing we can do to stop the carnage.

    Makes perfect sense, again-the gun will get blamed in the mass shooting but the SUV won’t get blamed in the Brownsville incident. Funny how that works….

    • Elwood P. Dowd says:

      AR-15s have no function other than to kill people. If Garcia did not have access to a firearm that could deliver 100 rounds in a minute or so, if he was limited to a couple of six-shooters fewer would have died. Sure, he could have chased customers with his SUV running them down, or load his SUV with a bomb.

      On the other hand SUVs are primarily for transportation. Their function is not to kill humans. If you were to ban all autos you would destroy America. If you were to ban all SUVs you would harm America.

      I guess you can make the argument that SUVs (your AR-15 equiv) could be replaced by a less mass killing Corolla (Colt revolver equiv).

      The mall shooting was quite obviously intentional while the Brownsville tragedy may have been accidental (but not to excuse a drunk driving 100 mph).

    weird.. no one talking about this particular post and the point of it.
    Teach, yeah, CAT5 is old tech and most new wifi are much faster than what cat5 can maintain. The increase in wifi was made mainly due to the increase in internet capable devices in homes that aren’t wired for internet.
    In businesses, we do fiber or CAT6 or better.
    We went from Cat5, to Cat5e, to Cat6 to now Cat8 (40gbps).
    It also depends on what speed your switches and modem operates at.
