I block people liberally. I agree 100% with the comic. And blocking idiots is good for my health.

The underlining linear algebra routines are written in… FORTRAN.

Uh, it looks like someone has finally found some real ‘fraud’.

At this very moment, the tower my cellphone hooks to is not providing 5G connectivity. But when I went out to have breakfast and walked just one block I got a good one. So maybe some equipment was damaged by whatever happened (and has still not been repaired, which is understandable).

Good to know, and somehow good news.

Until social networks are mare criminally liable for the crap they spew this won’t be turned around.

There has been no space weather event remotely close to a Carrington one

What really scared me is the internet service and mobile networks went down a few minutes (like, 2-3 minutes) after the main power.

Comms switch centers and cell towers are supposed to have batteries to keep them running for a while. But they went black almost immediately.

During the day we got some short moments of connectivity. Short and sparse.

There are things that I’d like to have some explanation for.

You are right, of course. But the Spanish PM is called ‘President of the government’, and informally, ‘President’.

To give some context, originally a ‘nazareno’ is somebody paying penitence for sins committed since last years Easter. Part of their ‘penitence’ is to march in procession covered with those robes. The ‘capirote’ (the hood) is intended to keep those sinners (that could be important or well known people) anonymous.

I’m not sure if this is still valid today or if it’s now just a performance. Someone from the south of Spain will more about that than myself.

Uh, no. The ‘devil horn’ sign, aka heavy metal salute DOES mean that. Thumbs up is just ‘thumbs up’ (it’s an imported/borrowed sign, as far as ai know)

Not just games. Full operating systems from the 60s and 70s are being kept alive by hobbyists. Unfortunately there is no law or rule about proprietary/company specific software. In 50 years (or less) historians will know more about how the Romans did banking than how it was done in the early days of computing.

Please offer her asylum in the US.

And extend that offer to Orban, Fico, Farage, Abascal, Weidel and the rest of fascist scum.

Dear Mr. Rubio

Please gently fornicate yourself.

I don’t want a singe euro-cent of my taxes spent in the American industry.

You reap what you sow.

Yeah, but we don’t try to apply our rules in their country. We demand they apply our rules in our jurisdiction.

They want to sell chlorinated chicken breasts in the US? No problem, but we don’t want that shit here.
