Project Veritas filmed another assistant principal talking proudly about how he gets rid of teachers based on their politics. But this time, not only are his actions criminals… so are his speech patterns. This guy does that wretched “uptalk” thing that the smugwoke do regularly, and it makes him difficult to listen to.
If this is true, it speaks volumes about the Russian military:
“IF” being an important word there. This could be true; it could be false. If it’s false, it could be:
1) Western intelligence disinformation (not clear what the point of that would be)
2) Western intelligence misunderstanding/mistake (believable if it’s the same nitwits who plunged the world into the Biden Recession thanks to RussiaGate)
3) It’s actually Chinese weaponry, but filtered through North Korea because… reasons.
Buying North Korean weapons is a violation of UN Security Council Resolutions on North Korea. I suspect Putin doesn’t care. I guess I’d more or less trust Nork artillery shells to generally work, but I’d be leery of any missiles. Of coourse, it would be the height of jocular hijinks to sneak into the Nork shipments and tinker with the artillery shells so that every now and then they detonate immediately. A reasonable chuckle will be had by all!
Back in 2016 I released seven PDFs of CAD diagrams formatted for printing at 24X36 inches (those are shown after the break). This was another product line that didn’t exactly blow up the market, and no further diagrams were released. But now that I have two books of CAD diagrams released, and two more coming (and potentially more after that), I’m considering trying again. The Lockheed CL-400 Suntan, A-11, A-12, SR-71, YF-12, along with several B-47 and B-52 related designs are possible, as well as designs that aren’t from those books (X-20 Dyna Soar, several Orion vehicles, etc.). If this sounds interesting, let me know; if there is something specific you might be interested in, let me know.
… it doesn’t actually point to specific solutions. Such can of course be inferred, but it would be nice if some candidates or such ran this ad with “And vote for me or something, I dunno, let’s try something different, anyway.” It would also be a good lead-in to The Labor Day AR-15 Sale at Big Jim’s Gun Emporium.
Well, this is weird:
Not the sort of headline you tend to expect out of Canada.
As rants go, this one is both entertaining and on the mark:
Someone jacked footage from “Metropolis” up to 4k, boosted it to 60 frames per second and colorized it. It’s incomplete and imperfect; the scenes from the utterly craptacular recently discovered archival bits were not fixed up. Doing so would be a *major* chore, but with new software and AI, it might be practical soon. Convert the whole movie to this level of quality, and it looks like I’m springing for another copy. Add an alternate soundtrack where actual dialog and sound effect are added and include a fully restored and upgraded yet still B&W version, and that’s a hundred-dollar package any day.
Same folks did the same to the 1902 “A Trip to the Moon.” The colors tend to jump around a bit.
Comedian Andrew Schulz realizes why children are being used as political mouthpieces: because you aren’t allowed to argue with them, no matter how ridiculous, wrong or downright evil their positions are.
NSFW language is deployed.
Womp womp….
The “artist” used a piece of software called “Midjourney” that used his text prompts to produce the image, which he upscaled and printed off. And then he won, and artists are cheesed off because, like the factory workers before them, they are finding that automation can do a better job than they can.
It’s definitely an interesting piece of art, and the controversy is likely to make it popular enough to make a few bucks off of.
We are rapidly approaching the day when AI *and* robotics can do anything humans can do, and do it better. This is a subject science fiction has covered over the years, and it’s something that society had damned well better figure out how to deal with before it comes along and drives *everybody* out of a job.
But for now…. *snerk.*
