New Zealand to ban cigarettes for future generations

New Zealand is obviously jealous of Australia. How do you stop people from buying and smoking? It sure didn't stop anybody from underage smoking in the US. Another example of Nanny State. People have the right to put whatever they want into their bodies. You want cancer? Good on ya.

Today I identify as  a female nurse. If you say a single thing about my mustache, I'll go straight to HR.

This blog gets a new entry about every three days. And every three days, Elon Musk gives us fresh material...

The SEC is investigating whistleblower claims that Tesla was reckless as its solar panels go up in smoke

Yes, faulty solar panels could catch fire. Musk/Tesla has a thing for fire. While on fire, they don't generate any additional power, or for that matter, any power at all. The whole house burning down thing is a drag.

Contrary to appearances, I like the guy. He has vision. He has money. His products explode. What's not to like?  He's welcome to stop by and have his say.

But WAIT!!!!

Tesla allows drivers to play video games in moving cars, raising safety concerns

what could possibly go wrong?

• Because of SUPPLY CHAIN ISSUES, Alaskans are having a hard time finding coats
• See - global warming isn't ALL bad! 

Today's IT moment: when you set up your wireless router, or anything else, CHANGE THE DEFAULT login and password, ok? If somebody somehow gets access and you use the default credentials, they're in.

• There's some nasty Stuff going on on in Afghanistan. I'm glad we're out. I'm just noticing no other country has stepped in to stem the nastiness. Isn't that interesting....

Justifiable Homicide  

Her: Hey - wake up!  it's 7:00 and your alarm didn't go off.

Him: ugh.. that's because it doesn't go off til 7:15.

• Hey - remember that iPhone switch that allowed you to remove tracking?
  
• it cut advertiser revenue 98%
• so Apple went ahead and reversed this, allowing a looser policy
• Apple is the self-champion of privacy rights
• what a load of crap. Android isn't much better, but they don't lie about it.

A quick perusal of this week's stories reveals good news about dementia/Alzheimer's

• drinking more coffee will push off onset
• Older people who get cataracts removed have lower dementia risk
• Giant Study Finds Viagra Is Linked to Almost 70% Lower Risk of Alzheimer's

So drink more coffee, get your cataracts removed (even if you don't have any) and stuff Viagra down your throat. Of course you'll need assistance with Viagra, so tell your spouse that helping you use it is lowering your risk of Alzheimer's. It's much easier to prevent than care for, so it's a no-brainer.

So that's three studies on Alzheimer's this week. Ever think the studies aren't quite right?

Like if you go to church and nobody wears masks. You get the Flying AIDS. Therefore, religion causes the Flying AIDS.

Baldwin says he never pulled the trigger. Experts are skeptical

This is another case proving what experts have said all along: guns fire themselves, even when sitting there, minding their own business. They don't even have to be in someone's hand. By the same token, cars crash into things, regardless of what the driver's doing.

Loath as I am to defend Alec Baldwin, he didn't know there was a real bullet in it (did he?).

'Possessed' woman, 28, undergoes nine-hour exorcism to rid her of 'the devil' after she attacked Italian priest during confession and started speaking Latin in three different voices

I dunno. I'm just not feeling demons.

There is a known syndrome of people suddenly speaking languages.

New languages and voices can be explained by multiple personalities.

In fact, in an interview with an exorcist, they check for multiple (MPD/DID) first.

• Pope Francis says ‘sins of the flesh’ aren’t that ‘serious’
• especially with little boys

Way back when I was considering working from home, Wife weighed in that it would take a toll on sexting. I told her I'd wait for it to start before making up my mind. When I started working from home, we added having sex on the desk to the list of things we weren't doing..

It definitely took the fun out of having a Work Wife. It was great while it lasted. I told her there were now two women who weren't sleeping with me. My next Work Wife was a lesbian. We would sit there and rate our female coworkers as they walked by. We were both particularly fond of boobies; she liked them bigger, I liked them in even numbers.

According to an Iranian journalist who moved to UK, every morning we had to to chant 'Death to America'

• on Thursdays we had to chant 'Dem camels look pretty good to me'
• when there was nothing else, the default was 'why is there so much fscking sand around here?'
• on weekends, we'd chant 'We can't chant today because of the sabbath'
• when we thought the Grand Dumdum wasn't listening, 'America, please build military bases here'
