- Comment on 'Doctor Who' Star Varada Sethu Fires Back at 'Woke' Critics: 'It Means We’re Doing the Right Thing' 2 weeks ago:
I look forward to future Dr Whos.
I’ve been watching that show for decades, and I have seen the ups and downs.
This cycle of shoddy work is unique because of the era. But if there is any luck I hope to see better dr who later, followed by something equally bad but different.

I don’t see people defending the newer shows by saying the writing is great or the plot tight. I just see arguments about politics and social messages.
- Comment on Google adds end-to-end email encryption to Gmail 2 weeks ago:
I just see vendor lock-in. A closed source solution?
End to end encryption already exists for email without everyone using the same service. Using open source solutions.
How many services has google canceled through the years? What happens to email send by this when that alphabet department looses a turf war? Unrelated : how can anyone reasonably trust this company to keep secrets?
- Comment on U.S. Institute of Peace Staff in U.S. Fired as Trump Seeks Nonprofit’s End 2 weeks ago:
It was old guard American empire, its status between private organization, government, and war criminals very blurry.
Its demise will be celebrated by many. I’m glad I outlived it; I thought decades ago it would just persist maybe forever. I can rest easier tonight.
In the fight between the oligarchs, this is a welcome casualty . I really don’t care about its final days.

The fall of the institute should not be used as a poster child for your valid complaints.
There are hundreds of other things that have been done in the last weeks, that fall under your observations, that are worthy of mourning.

Two types of people here will get upset. Those who are invested in what it did and those who think that name describes what it did.

His being a nobody and willingness to order troops to violate civil rights is exactly why he was bumped up.

Yes ! Indeed

I was just joking also, the only reason I did not put the sarcasm tag was I had an iOS keyboard. Still not sure where that button is, someone said it’s next to the “any” key.

I don’t understand, how can the turtle do this? Is it because the elephants are dancing? Won’t they fall off??!
- Comment on ActBlue, the Democratic Fund-Raising Powerhouse, Faces Internal Chaos 1 month ago:
A mix of unprecedented political persecution and toxic leadership. Members, caught between the two, saving themselves by running .
But the real story is the attack on act blue; talk about the lede burying the headline!
- Comment on Trump’s Cuts Come With Risks. Including From Volcanoes. | A spending freeze could disrupt systems that warn communities when eruptions appear imminent. 1 month ago:
- Thinks it’s foolish to live near volcano.
- Looks at maps of previous eruptions last few thousand years
- Cries
- Comment on Democrats Are Losing the War for Attention. Badly. 2 months ago:
My opinion is that it is hard for very large human organizations to change, much less entrenched pro-business conservative parties.
The token left attached to it will remain unattractive to leftists because what can it do besides come up with nicknames for itself? And that’s when their party is in power
- Comment on Democrats Are Losing the War for Attention. Badly. 2 months ago:
Yes some individuals are ok. Some state level stuff is ok.
The national party is a lost cause, and I think this will be seen more and more as fascism rises. A scapegoat will be needed; and here is one ready made. These individuals will be more hampered by the fallout than helped by the association.
- Comment on Democrats Are Losing the War for Attention. Badly. 2 months ago:
Why should I pay attention to the national party? They have no power or redeeming features

Act of war. See revised terms and conditions
- Comment on Why would a UTF-8 MySQL backup contain invalid UTF-8 characters? 3 months ago:
Not only are there different character sets that seem like it’s Unicode, but the set in MySQL can change based on the session, the client, the server, the db , the table and the column. All six of them can have different encodings.
Just make sure all are using the same 4 byte Unicode. Different collation is ok when backing up because only important when comparing strings.
- Comment on How do people end up winning lawsuits against companies due to a missing label or sign? 3 months ago:
I see this in my own field as patent trolls.
Not ordinary people, and relatively rare per capita; but the population is big enough to have many parasites; or a very proficient few based on what they practice.
My life would be easier professionally if the top ten patent trolls went out of business nationally
- Comment on How do people end up winning lawsuits against companies due to a missing label or sign? 3 months ago:
In my region ( USA), ordinary people simply don’t have the resources for individual lawsuits like this.
It would have to be a well connected or monied individual to have any chance. Or the situation is so egregious and documented enough, that a law firm thinks it can make money, by taking most of the winnings from the victims
- Comment on What Do Democrats Need to Do? Act Like an Opposition Party. 3 months ago:
Perhaps this will be hard for an establishment party, in an environment that has suppressed all opposition parties for generations?
