Have a great week!!

Crowds dissolve responsibility. Alone, a person may hesitate but in a horde they become like the Walking Dead. They can feel carried by history, destiny, the movement, the nation, the market, the platform, the faith, the “will of the people.” That is intoxicating. It turns ordinary people into instruments of something they would never fully end…[Read more]

Trumps treaty with Iran was the greatest Treaty of Versailles. If it gets broken he should sign the next one in Fort Laramie. Does Little Big Horn have an airport?

Strega, I would encourage you to keep it going…:-) Words be nimble, words be quick..

The Art of the Non-Deal…..

Non-Deal, n.
A defeat announced at sufficient volume to be mistaken for diplomacy.

I guess Bierce’s verdict would be to call it a “peace deal” if you are selling it, a “ceasefire agreement” if you are insuring it, and a “framework” if you expect it to collapse but wish to sound constructive while it does.

From ChatGPT:

Peace Deal, n.
A ceasefire promoted by its authors before its clauses have survived first contact with…[Read more]

Is it a ‘Peace Deal’ or just a ‘Ceasefire Agreement’?

I knew I was getting old when my cellphone announced “Face not recognized” and I agreed with it 🙂

The IRGC just needs to survive. From them that is a win. Funding for its militia armies in Gaza and Lebanon – (Hamas and Hezbollah) – depends on that. Trump has won the war about 25 times already.

Some days I just think…”Really, I gotta share the planet with these morons and idiots??…Just keep the f**k away from me!

Thanks Enco, glad to be finished that project. Taking tomorrow off and will go for a 6 hour walktrek….here.

Yes, I have seen Yarvin’s name crop up in a few articles recently. He thinks Trump is not killing democracy quickly enough and if MAGA loses the Senate  it will herald the end of the Trump administration which will “wither and ev…[Read more]

Yes PopeBeanie, it is brilliant. It is more of a paradigm shift (Kuhn) than a  evolution in medical science. All future developments will be at the micro and atomic level. Better living through Science!

I am not worried by A.I. in the workforce. Too many companies are in a hurry to integrate AI into their core systems and very few I deal with have any idea how a basic network operates, let alone an A.I. system. Many of my clients work in the Architectural and Engineering sector and are required to submit online tenders for government projects. I…[Read more]

Have a great week everyone!

I got called into work last weekend to solve an emergency in a hospital IT system. Luckily it was a holiday weekend so I managed to get systems up and running again, 2 hours before the first scheduled operation.
