I started out with technology in the early 90's and never stopped. Now starting to get back to my roots.

In the meantime I have owned an IT business, served in the military, wrote a book and a bunch of other stuff.

I have other stuff you can see from here..

  • Air Force bans smart glasses for troops in uniform

    Jump

  • Smart glasses weren’t already banned?! Sweet Baby Yoda…

  • Consumer hardware is no longer a priority for manufacturers

    Jump

  • Probably because the hardware is going into systems that eliminate jobs and we become broke. All that gear is gonna sit on the shelf if we can’t afford it.

  • The Military Is Being Forced to Plan for an Unthinkable Betrayal

    Jump

  • That is true but he didn’t declare war so he didn’t break the law. I WISH that we’re breaking the law but the fact is Congress has abdicated that responsibility and there is precedent to support the executive killing people with the use of the military.

    We need Congress to stand up for itself and revoke the ability to abuse the use of the armed forces, by making laws that have consequences and enforce those consequences on any executive who breaks them, even if they’re in the majority’s party.

  • Congress has largely looked the other way for some 50 years as far as war powers go (along with a lot more of its exclusive power). Worse yet while there is text to say that the executive will execute the laws created by congress, they largely pick and choose the laws they enforce and to what degree, which is constantly ignored (especially when the executive and majority in congress share the same party).

    We now have a situation where the executive sees how loose the responsibility and accountability congress wields, and now decides to violate the norms and there no standard for congress to follow. Congress all seem to be looking at each other shrugging, while rank and file military see nothing in a future of pain and loss for standing up to do the right thing because ultimately nobody has thier backs.

  • I only wish treaties were upheld as laws are but we have a long history of treaties being broken and no trial took place other than a trial of arms. If only we had an international court, unanimously agreed upon by the nations of the world.

  • What’s the illegal order then? Is it illegal to attack an ally because you want something they have? There probably isn’t a law against that specifically, and if there is, how are service members going to know that?

  • Pence eyes comeback as the ‘Project 2025’ war room implodes

    Jump

  • All the authoritarianism with 50% less grift?

  • Republican legislator admits sending hundreds of child sex abuse videos between work emails

    Jump

  • Every Accusation Is A Confession

  • BWWWOOOOOEEEEEEEE

  • Shrimps are the gateway food. Easy to get in too deep.

  • What movie did you see too young that still haunts you to this day?

    Jump

  • Prophecy - that bear.

  • The Trump administration takes a very Orwellian turn

    Jump

  • "They did the thing we're now going to do. How awful they were."

  • Senate confirms Jeanine Pirro as U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia

    Jump

  • So glad to see the dems resisting. Oh wait.

  • Senate Democrats point fingers after failed tariff vote

    Jump

  • The only reason democrats lose is because of democrats. They screw up a good thing more times than I can count.

    They do it with such regularity that republicans can now be the boldest of assholes and consistently deliver on their obviously heinous plans.

    I think the bicycle/stick meme was based on democrats.

    South Carolina executes second man by firing squad in 5 weeks

    Jump

  • Seems like a guillotine would be far more humane. No 80 seconds of breathing - man that must be like an eternity of pain.

  • What did you do as a child that would be considered dangerous today?

    Jump

  • GenX - here's a few:

    Lawn darts. Unsupervised play over 1/4 mile from home at age 8. Unsupervised play over 1/2 mile from home at age 10 with a BB gun. BB guns as paintball weapons. (no eyes were put out). Riding a bicycle to school on a highway shoulder from grade 7-9. Latchkey kid. Going fishing with a neighbor (retired man) as an adolescent for 2-2 summers. (Ps. We fished and talked.)

  • I notice the 55 and older menu. Save some money!
