(1403) Just finished training (tris and back), which was after a long conversation with MMutR whom I’m hoping is preparing an article for us. Before that I had to prepare a beef lunch, (fish later), as protein is the order of the day. Before that long conversation were around 10 to 14 topics to talk to him about … which followed the regular blogging you see before you at elevenses and earlier. In other words, full on until this moment now, when I start this evening’s blogging and Xing. Going to add a few of the 14 topics at a time, then rest up, perchance to snooze … you have your routines too of course.
30. Pringles
Another curiosity. I’ve given way to my Pringles addiction in the past few days … this morning, guess what was at the top of the recommended youtube list? Yep … analysis of all substances used in them, plus reconstituted potato … go ahead if you’ll still eat them now.
My interest is how did youtube know? The only way would be to access my supermart order online. Unless, of course, Someone else Above decided to warn me. Hmmmmmm.
29. A point of view
28. Saw this too
27. Saw this
26. It’s not just Moo I run
Quick quiz question … what fragrance does gorse give off?
25. Hard disks
If you’re a techie, you might be looking for 24Tb drives or multiples of that. This is not about the tech per se … more about the cost. A while ago, a 20Tb was around £200 … today £500. What seems to be happening is that the higher the ask in Tb, the higher the price shoots up … but there appears to becan upper limit to size, space.
If that is the case and tech is approaching its zenith about now … what then of AI demands?
24. Cirkear caught out, sneaky bstd?
23. At NOWP 1355
One from DAD, one from IYE … interesting viewing.
22. Viktor and this Magyar character
Well, for a start, Magyar is the ancient name for Hungary, rather than just a person’s name. Then there was Viktor conceding so easily, no insults, to someone from his own party offshoot. Who has now refused to open borders.
Uh huh. Was the whole thing a rightwing put up job … and now his successor has a supermajority? Interesting, eh?
21. A fellow Xer, Sophia
… the narrowboat ex-nurse, vaxx refusenik etc. (good girl), wrote a piece on X, warning off certain types … and I replied:
That’s not the part which intrigued me … it was that she reposted both parts.
20. Back to those topics from pre-midday
Giorgia, the clown and Italy … X is full of G and clown embracing … this sums up part of the nausea in Italy which I’ve already posted sshots on. Here’s another:
Giorgia has been taken, outmanoeuvered.
19. Moo corner
18. Karoline Leavitt
This is an exercise in not jumping before exploring. You’ll notice things in this:
It’s from a Johnny Midnight, using a Fox broadcast which I’ve taken a sshot of … presented by ILAN … did she really call Obama out by name? And in what context? I must go back to X and check.
……
Ok, I just rewatched it … yes, she very much did say it, she laid it out in detail what Obama did and when. Uh huh … now that precludes the influence, mishearing or whatever of JM and ILAN … she said it all right.
Ok … many have said this over the years. Yes, but this is KL at her presser, broadcast by Fox. Different other thing. Anything KL says is ok’d by the boss first. So … indictment?
17. Miranda
I mentioned the film, that there were two versions, one either side of the pond. He picked up on “Miranda” and said … and I scribbled some notes whilst listening … Miranda is connected to Serenity, which is part of the Firefly universe, which concerns an interplanetary govt experiment with widespread drugs which are designed to turn people compliant and meek … but instead turn them into monsters … a bit like globopsycho and the political class right now. He also mentioned The 27th Day … maybe that’s the film he was speaking of.
16. Redacted thumbnails
Youtube did a strange thing. If you look at the Wimpy post (thanks for the comments, chaps), you see a picture before you start it. All right but in my history queue, the picture is different:
In fact, YT warned me with a note, saying this video’s thumbnail has changed. Hmmmmm … what’s going on?
SHTF inside No.10. Mandy failed his security vetting. However the decision was overruled by the Foreign Office. Since then our beloved PM has pushed the ‘due process’ line about his appointment as the UK ambassador to the United States. Worst of all he said it at the Dispatch Box multiple times. Squeaky bum time 🙂
18. Karoline Leavitt – on this:
‘Tulsi Gabbard recently declassified a top-secret document related to Trump’s first impeachment that then-House Intel Chairman Adam Schiff locked away in a SCIF [Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility] for years..’
Tulsi:
“I’ll hit the high points on these documents. There are details and hundreds of pages of transcripts that we released in conjunction with House Intel Chairman Rick Crawford. But the bottom line is this: the whistle-blower – so-called whistle-blower – who came forward presented no evidence and no first-hand knowledge. This is a person who had heard about a conversation that President Trump had with Zelensky, then went straight to Adam Schiff on the House Intelligence Committee.”
22. Viktor and this Magyar character – I posted on this line of reasoning a couple of days ago over at NOWP. Trumpian manoeuvre followed to the letter.
……
JH: You did indeed sir.
