English Cockers Watch BBC News

There is a linux command called fallocate. I don't use it, because it sounds too dirty.

The FBI asked Google for help. No, really. They subpoenaed Google for location information of phones in a bank robbery.  This practice is getting worse. Turn off location. Anybody who watches Law and Order or other police shows, is being prepped for this going wide.

Government also asked Google for information on 10,000 people who downloaded a rifle site app. This was leaked. This is getting out of hand.... contact your reps - I am.



Ever watch those police/EMS/hospital shows and observe the tests they give people?

Police: stand with one foot in front of the other, then hold up one leg and dance on the other, while singing Dixie. Hop into the air, using one leg only. Spin 10 times and don't fall down. Now that you're bruised and battered, how many things did I ask you to do?  C'mon - I can't do that sober.

EMS/hospital/mental hospital: What day is it? What year is it? What is your Social Security number backwards? What was the name of your kindergarten crossing guard? Looks like we'll be keeping you a while....



  • There is a viral video of a Whataburger back room, where a rat dives into the deep fryer.  Maybe he's been reading Political FB too.



As mentioned, an Australian university is lowering the bar for female admittance to university, to get more women into Tech.

I seem to remember trying this many years ago. It didn't work out well, created resentment, and offended the people it was intended to help because it assumed they weren't talented enough to get the job on their own.

I know someone who wasn't hired because, although her test score was higher, she was a caucasian. The bar was also lowered for Philadelphia Police. Sorry, kids, but I want the best and brightest doing that job - just like designing bridges.

Friends, it's entirely possible Women in Tech is a created emergency, based upon nothing but wishes of SJWs. Women are every bit as smart as men, sometimes smarter. If they want tech jobs, all they have to do is learn and apply - there is no preference in hiring. Maybe there's just a shortage of women interested in tech. There are certainly a lot of women already in tech, advocating for more women in tech.

Women playing guitar have not had similar fits about Women With Guitars. Guitar playing is entirely opt-in. There is no bar to entry, even if you're incompetent. As a matter of fact, you're more likely to garner attention if you're female and memorable for any one trait - not necessarily your playing.  Maybe there's a shortage of women interested in playing the guitar.  Just like jobs, I want to see people who are really good at it - not preferentially-chosen for internal plumbing practitioners.



Dear lefty

  • Why are you mad at me?
  • Because your wife gave me herpes.


Two US military experts have proposed giving artificial intelligence control over the nuclear launch button.  What could possibly go wrong?


  • Best line: These are monster worm casts, created by monster worms.



Tulsi Gabbard (D-Wherever) is effectively out of the running for Democratic nomination for president.  It's safe to say this is why:

Presidents of both parties have wasted trillions of tax dollars on regime change wars and new cold war. This must end. I’ve seen the cost of war first-hand, and as your commander in chief, I’ll stand up against the warmongering foreign policy establishment clamoring for more war.



  • Coming soon: Andrew Dice Clay and Roseanne Barr - Mr. & Mrs. America (I didn't make this up)



All of humanity’s problems stem from man’s inability to sit quietly in a room alone.  - Blaise Pascal


  • If you say, "OMG" in real life, please don't stand near me.


We continue to visit my dad in the hospital, after his multi-pack of strokes. Fortunately he improves visibly every day. It's rough, taking my mother to and from every day, but we do what we have to.  I almost lost it the other day... I was in the cafeteria and the ice cream machine broke. Can you imagine?  A very nice employee told me that opening and closing the service door would fix the machine. That was so intuitive, I should have known it already.

After that near-death struggle with the ice cream machine, I showed up in the morning. The ice cream machine was working (breakfast of champions) but we need to pull Dad out of that place... there is only Wawa coffee. For those of you not from the hood, Wawa is a convenience store, like 7-11 or Circle K. It's a great place, except for the alleged coffee. It's largely water, with some brown coloring, and was originally sat next to a can of instant coffee. Dad says the place is great, but he's never tried the coffee.



No thanks, I'd rather be a troubled boy scout with daddy issues



Hong Kong protesters are grabbing tear gas grenades, lobbed at them by the State, and putting them in liquid nitrogen canisters, deactivating them.  Insert stereotypical Asian reference.




Heroes of the Stupid

A teen girl was ruled guilty of child porn for texting an explicit video of herself.
No.




SJW Shenanigans

A British actress is very upset because people are body-shaming her.
They are mocking her knockers.
Yes, she's being shamed for having large mamallian protuberances.
Boobie-ism at its worst.
Did you ever, in your wildest dreams, see this coming?

I'm going out on a limb and guessing the boob-shamers are women. Why? When was the last time a man said, "No - those breasts are too big for me"?
