Nanananananana Batman!

The last boom/bust cycle resulted in a lot of high tech gear getting sold off at bargain basement prices.

Good for new businesses but bad for companies like Cisco trying to sell new gear in a market flooded with cheap used gear.

Let me guess… the old “He’s a good boy, think of his future!” defense?

Problem: All he’e giving is death and destruction and all he wants to take is land and children…

You can’t both sides an illegal invasion.

Man, if only lying was a crime!

Can’t delete data from a phone that never had it. 😉 Bonus if you hand them a dumb phone.

“Oh, my phone? Sure, here you go!”

Palatino. Fite me! 😉

“Sorry, I don’t use social media.” (hands over burner phone)

Kinda spammy to just drop a logo and the name of the app. What’s the big differentiator besides “Christian”? What would draw people to you over, say, a Christian community on Facebook?

I know, right? I mean, I’m willing to help facilitate the process… All we get here are raccoons and the odd coyote.

I was lucky enough to catch it in the theater then imported the 4K disc set. The Blu Ray is region locked, but the 4K is region free.

For some damn reason he’s making it super hard to watch it in the US. No official streaming and no official physical. You have to hope to catch the theater road show.

There is no record because Johnson won’t bring it to a vote.

They literally can’t do anything with the Republicans in control, they need to run on that rather than ineffectual proposals that can’t go anywhere.

Says someone acutely aware of how the House and Senate work.

The House is controlled by Mike Johnson, Republican, he will not allow a proposal by a Democrat to move forward.

Except that with Republicans in control there will be no impeachment process. Johnson will not allow it to come to a vote.

All Democrats need to focus on flipping the House and Senate in 2026 and they won’t get there by proposing legislation that cannot and will not move forward.

That’s fascinating, roughly contemporary with the Vulgate, but in Greek instead of Latin.

I was always told the Vulgate was the first to bring it all under a single language, but this could / should pre-date it by a few decades.

The Vulgate was comissioned in 382. Looks like Jerome used both the Codex Sinaiticus and the Codex Vaticanus as basis for the Vulgate.

Potential for a nightmare scenario:

1. Trump dumps Ukraine for Russia.

2. EU dumps $2.34 trillion in US debt

3. Trump pulls out of NATO.

4. Russia invades Poland or some other NATO country.

5. US Dollar is worthless so we couldn’t do anything if we wanted to, and Trump is on Russia’s side anyway.

Democrats are in the minority, they literally have 0 power to move anything like this forward.
