Last post by Abbot Mythos - February 28, 2026, 05:10:25 PMNot long ago, I hesitated to start this thread. Unfortunately, its time has come.
Words can not describe my disgust that the POSOTUS and his Republicult™ have once again allowed a foreign war criminal to dictate America's foreign policy. Tuesday, November 3, 2026, can not get here fast enough.

Apple Talk / Re: ABSOLUTE CHAOS
Last post by Doktor Howl - February 25, 2026, 10:15:44 PMQuote from: The Good Reverend Roger on May 05, 2017, 04:13:58 AMNext bad science project Dave and I have been handed is data infrastructure collapse. At what point does miniaturization of electronics - combined with traffic - overload the error-correcting firmware that prevents random bit-flipping (by background radiation, etc)?
We are of course not expected to answer this myself. We're supposed to nominate a team of experts that will answer it.
So I told them to get one electronic engineer and a couple of epidemiologists. This was questioned, but it's a propagation problem, and epidemiologists are the correct type of mathematician for this, I think.
Dave is panicking because he's an environmental engineer and this isn't about water. But I'm starting to believe that problem solving isn't based on any one discipline, but instead on finding the right discipline for the job and then, unreasonably, letting them do their work. What he isn't seeing is that this isn't about he and I answering problems, but instead getting the answers and then distributing them.
Plus maybe we help some grad students with their advanced degrees and also with the whole starving to death thing.
I think this was the greatest learning moment of my career.

Aneristic Illusions / Re: The Republicult™ On Parade
Last post by Abbot Mythos - February 24, 2026, 06:47:40 PMThere are so many clowns in the Republicult's™ Clown Car, I've never paid any attention to this particular one:
But, as per this article:
"In September, The Guardian reported Owens published podcasts titled: "Charlie Kirk Suspect Charged. Something Isn't Right...", "Who Ordered the Hit on Charlie Kirk?" and "They Are Lying About Charlie Kirk."
In this month, she also alleged that billionaire hedge-fund manager Bill Ackman—a vocal supporter of Israel—had staged an "intervention" in the Hamptons weeks prior, pressuring Kirk to "get in line" with unwavering support for Israel during which Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called him.
She said that Kirk was offered "a ton of money" to stick to a pro-Israel stance because he had been "falling out of love with Israel" and was "on the brink of changing some of his perspectives" about the Gaza war.
Newsweek was unable to verify these allegations."
Now, this is the first I've heard of War Criminal Benjamin Netanyahu being linked to the assassination of Saint Charlie of the Mass School Shootings. And, I was first tempted to post this conspiracy down on the High Weirdness Sub-board. But, as this is coming from the MSM, I'm going to put it right here.
And here I thought the State of the Union Address was going to be my entertainment today.

Literate Chaotic / Re: Avoiding the trap
Last post by Doktor Howl - February 24, 2026, 03:46:59 AMQuote from: chaotic neutral observer on February 23, 2026, 01:38:32 PMMouse #126 bleeds out. At -20 C, the blood freezes almost instantly, preserving the colour. It leaves a bright red stain on the concrete.
The mice of winter have long, thick fur. This one has frozen solid, and snaps in two as I work it free from the trap. I try not to look at the remains. I toss the pieces into the back alley, an offering to the neighbourhood corvids...or whatever else might happen along.
Mice aren't people and don't have rights.
On that note, have you ever read Catch 22? Now there's an author that knew how to deal with rodents.
