Text of the page (random words):
life in a worker s paradise wordpress shenanigans sometime last month wordpress made a change to my plan without as far as i can tell giving notice i had set the blog to share on facebook and it did so automatically then i started getting notices that my posts could not be shared it seems that now one must have the premium plan twice the cost of the current plan to enable automatic sharing i can still share i just have to it manually a clear case of making the service more expensive as i am now getting fewer services for the same money the kicker is there is no physical cost to wordpress for allowing one or the other it s a straight money grab as i am providing content for seven blogs self hosting is looking more attractive share this share on facebook opens in new window facebook share

military political posted by bkivey 14 april 2026 the most random things i could find china station the last month there has been increased traffic on the blog from china my understanding is that wordpress com sites will only work with a valid virtual private network vpn which i gather is not all that easy to secure in china my not at all data driven feelings are in order of likelihood 1 llm theft this may seem like personal aggrandizement but those things are like cockroaches everywhere and hard to kill 2 private citizens or as private as one may be in that society accessing the blog 3 some aspect of chinese government i won t flatter myself that much nippon professional baseball a local had an npb game on between the seibu lions 5th in pacific league and the hokkaido nippon ham fighters 4th in pacific league let s pick up the action 5 2 bottom 7 bases loaded one out the pitcher was ahead 0 2 but the fighter at the plate uh fought and ran the count full hit between 1st and 2nd fielded by the 1b who threw home the throw was from the foul side of the bag and hit the runner smack upside the head he goes down in a heap play stops people rush out and several folks start assembling what looks like a tent cut to commercial when the dust settles there is a new pitcher and the game now stands at 5 3 lions runners in scoring position and two outs one assumes the run from 3rd scored and the batter was called out for interference that s harsh hit in the head with a major league throw and called out drama wasn t over the next batter singles and the runners are held next up is an american i didn t know his name but obviously american he grounds to 3b and instead of stepping on the bag for the force and final out of the inning 3b throws to 1b to get the batter i couldn t think of a baseball reason to do that and a lot of reasons not to maybe those guys have history sea of japan credit nasa sts 100 21 april 2001 annotated by me using wikipedia sources deni avdija plays basketball professionally for the portland trail blazers scored a quiet 41 points to lead all scorers in the blazer play in win over the phoenix suns 14 april during the post game interview he was wearing a sleeveless t accessorized by a gold chain that likely cost more than i ve made the past three years with a gold encrusted phone tablet pendant showing his highlights from the game while he was interviewed i have never seen this i m wondering if this will be a trend status symbol among pro athletes i expect to see more of this one of these names is not like the others credit unknown in the men s room at a local bar and probably the last time you would see country joe the fish headlining above led zeppelin the poster or reproduction is from the 9 11 january 1969 concert at bill graham s fillmore west venue in san francisco zepp played sets every day and the concert is widely seen as launching them in america they played two more north american tours in the same year i just thought the poster was interesting because almost no one today can tell you who country joe the fish were and taj mahwho other cars credit me bmw s coupes have a solid reputation among enthusiasts and this one s been slammed and aero kitted fun as they are said to be two doors just isn t my style whomever installed the bodykit took some care but exposed fasteners just don t look good perhaps they are going to address that when they take care of the other body and paint issues not a bad car just not me credit me another bronco ford just can not stop selling these things more my style for off road just maybe not lifted to the sky and not in appliance white up above credit me conjunction of jupiter and the just waxing crescent moon the outline of the moon s disk is barely visible i am happy

list was all that and a bag of chips a term that has not made the list i decided to come up with my own list of banished words and terms language that is overused irritating or just generally bad in a minute indicates a long period of time this is in direct contradiction to the customary usage to indicate a short period of time which is likely why the term has gained currency ironic like also stupid like i ll be a while i ll be a minute see two entirely different concepts clearly conveyed now they mean the same thing how do you convey a short interval are we supposed to infer from context baseball is back so yer outta here resiliency this was a fine upstanding complimentary word now drafted into the progressive camp what used to be something definitively good has become a verbal blanket covering any number of squishy concepts now everything and everybody has some degree of resiliency and not having enough of some ill defined level of it is a bad thing a thing that must be improved at taxpayer expense out infrastructure needs to be more resilient we have to improve the economic resiliency of those left behind the word has been stripped of meaning now serving zombie like in the struggle space for market things aren t sold in markets anymore they re sold in spaces in the rv space in the consumer electronics space this feels like industry jargon that has escaped into the world it s also something i never heard of in business school i took marketing courses not spacing courses while the word is rarely heard in casual conversation it appears frequently in anything written about just about anything that is sold while likely useful on a professional level spare the rest of us please diversity equity inclusion three three words for the price of one like the recently departed resiliency these words were long ago stripped of any meaning and such meaning as is attributed is a perversion of the original definition progressivism progressed these words as it does all language through the process of taking a perfectly fine word stripping it of meaning repurposing it for the cause and cramming it down everyone s throats as the acceptable definition political correctness was an earlier version of thought control humpty dumpty was a practitioner and given his threat to the power structure with such thinking may well have been pushed people don t like to be pushed and thanks to the untiring efforts of those leading the struggle these three words and many others in the liberal lexicon have become a pox upon the citizenry the citizenry have noticed and the current battle on bullshit is having an effect weren t we just talking about this a recent article at sciencedaily com gave an overview of the hubble tension the tension nee constant is the condition where the universe seems to be expanding at two different rates depending on whether you measure from the current now to the theorized beginning or from the beginning to now the numbers should be identical if you measure mileposts from 0 to 1 the distance will be the same as measuring 1 to 0 that is not the case and it s a real problem while the condition is fascinating less so is the acknowledgement apology at the end of the article the scientific community is honored to have the opportunity to conduct astronomical research on i oligam du ag kitt peak in arizona on maunakea in hawai i and on cerro tololo and cerro pachón in chile we recognize and acknowledge the very significant cultural role and reverence of i oligam du ag to the tohono o odham nation and maunakea to the kanaka maoli native hawaiians community credit where due i have never heard the indigenous name for kitt peak the next prog that goes on about kitt peak has a surprise coming well actually but does this really need to be here do the tohono o odhams and the kanaka maolis really need to be told how culturally significant the mountains are to them it s not a case of forgetting to cheer for you in a paper and the next thing you know federal troops are at your doorstep if one must engage in virtue signalling can it not be in the acknowledgements related reading die dei share

disappearing the object was white on the fore end fading rapidly to yellow orange and nearly red leaving a yellow orange trail no sound i suspect something large enough to make it through the upper reaches of the atmosphere but not massive enough to last any longer space junk but whether the natural or artificial sort hard to say the short duration argues for something more fragile than rock on the other hand no responsible entity would de orbit over populated areas on the gripping hand not everyone on orbit is responsible some say that the notable increase in fireball sightings recently comes from something called the anthelion sporadic meteor source no i hadn t heard of it either there seem to be six count em sources of non shower meteor activity you can look it up here here and here long story short space is dirty and massive bodies are the vacuum cleaners they suck everything in and sometimes lesser bodies get in the way in the very fullness of time everything will end up inside a multitude of black holes meanwhile there s a lot of stuff incoming to the sun and our orbit periodically brings us into the shooting gallery what was seen as a transient event is actually quite fascinating our system is about 4 6b years old that s with a b and there is a near cornucopia of stuff still falling into the sun s well fireballs i remember as a kid a full on hollywood event over myrtle beach impressive an event about fifteen years ago west over beaverton or although the event was near the horizon a bright object falling toward the setting sun then splitting as a tree chart into several distinct objects each then splitting again into a tree chart paths before disappearing i d not seen anything like it not a fireball i recently saw light plane pass overhead in the pattern a common occurrence in the vicinity of hio second busiest airport in oregon it was night and what struck me was that the air navigation lights were all amber and there were no strobes it was night but the aircraft was on base leg so fairly low a single engine prop in conventional low wing configuration so nothing unusual about the machine i just thought it strange to be showing illegal lights i have never seen an aircraft of any description with amber markers more noise than a fireball standing outside in a strip mall i heard the v8 rumble it sounded like straight pipes the american cross plane v8 makes a distinctive noise dear to gearheads everywhere but any soundtrack becomes offensive at high volume and that s what we had it was night but the vehicle appeared to be a decent home grown nissan frontier pickup lowered and money spent on suspension to do it right nice wheels a likely functional cowl induction hood and a honkin v8 the truck needed painting but the bodywork looked finished i m guessing purple metal flake it could turn out to be a nice truck but bro spend a few bucks on a cat back exhaust we will thank you share this share on facebook opens in new window

featuring a clydesdale and a bald eagle american icons was apparently the top super bowl ad this year but as i watched neither game nor ads i was unware the original spot ran a full 20m minute but the later spot has been cut shorter important to note that the price given is just to buy the airtime production and associated campaign is not included making the bud ad a near 50m proposition that s a lot of six packs reception has been overwhelmingly positive with many commenting on the emotions wakened i ve only seen the tv version live so that s the subject a young horse an eaglet the horse finds the the eaglet on the ground at what looks like the start of winter one wonders where the bird came from there don t appear to be any trees large enough to host a bald nest within falling distance i ve found fallen birdlets and like acorns they don t fall far from the tree the next scene shows the eagle riding the horse which begs the question how did the bird get up there it can t fly and horses don t have hands and it s not just one time the bird mounts the horse for multiple flight attempts as far as launching pads the horse is ideal as it is shown to achieve speeds that allow it to gallop through multiple seasons in a very short period of time you could fling a rocket into orbit at that velocity as shown the bird raises questions bald eagles typically fledge in about three months during flight training the eagle sports the plumage of a bird 1 3 years old one wonders if this is a particularly slow bird it should have learned to fly long before the final scene shows the now fully grown clydesdale leaping a log and suddenly sprouting wings from it s back it is a testament to a certain energy drink company s ad house that my first thought was red bull but it is a fully mature bald eagle taking flight bald eagles don t sport their distinctive feathering until they are five or more years older a superficial ...
