Comment The West Wing already fixed this (Score 1) 274

I am now having flashbacks to The West Wingâ(TM)s Bug Block of Cheese Day. Lunatic mapmakers (Organization of Cartographers for Social Equality) and the Mercator Projection vs the Peterson Projection. Wait until all of you realize that north doesnâ(TM)t have to be up.

Comment The DOJ says so (Score 1) 183

I keep getting letters from the DOJ Victims Affairs about a guy they arrested stealing mail and trying to kite and then cash checks. He also got one count of unlawful possession of an unregistered machine gun (GLOCK switch).

Apparently some of the mail they recovered was from when I was dealing with my mom's estate. Probate courts usually order that everything is paid by check so that there is a paper trail.

The DOJ were not amused when I called and asked if they could do an NFA transfer of the machine gun.

Comment Are teachers really needed with AI? (Score -1, Troll) 44

Teachers can't teach real first principle thinking, only rote learning and memorization. 1 + 1 = 2, 2 + 2 = 4, etc. Our education system was built in the 1950's to produce factory workers. It was already obsolete, now it's really showing how useless it is.

Teachers as they are today obsolete. Let them say whatever they want it is sound and fury, signifying nothing.

I am really not certain what we do with people who are incapable of first principles thinking. They are going to be a huge burden on society.

Comment Re:What was the argument against Airbus? (Score 5, Informative) 43

Airbus has a flight laws system. That flight laws system which would have told the pilot they were in a stall failed because of ice accumulation during a thunderstorm.

The pilot didn't know they were in the stall because the otherwise highly redundant system which should have warned him didn't work. Given what he could see, the aircraft was losing altitude, so he firewalled the throttles and pointed the nose up. If you don't know your wings aren't generating lift anymore, this isn't an unreasonable reaction.

The captain re-entered the cockpit seconds before they hit the water and figured it out, but it was too late.

Comment here in America... (Score 5, Funny) 19

In America... we just use a gun. No more bear. Also, you get a free rug. It's what we call a win-win.

Generally though, don't shoot black bears, they're almost never a problem, and they're kind of cool. Just back away if they're aggressive, you're near their cubs. If the bear is Chinese, please capture it humanely, and return Xi Jinping to the Beijing Zoo. I think there is a reward.

If the bear is brown, or worse white, move the selector from BANG to BANG BANG BANG and mag dump it. Brown bears are incredibly aggressive. Polar bears are endangered, but if you see one it's because it's hunting you. It is not going to stop hunting you. Ever. Fly home? Polar bear. Flee to the tropics? Polar bear. Launch on Starship to Elon's secret moon base? Polar bear. They have a certain set of skills, they will find you, and they will kill you.
