But did you do it again at half past 2?

In Trump’s letter to the Persians, chapter 14 verse 88.

I’m not a DC movie guy (I used to like the comics when I was young) and I’m pretty burned out on superheroes in general, but I’ll watch it both for this and because I tend to like James Gunn.

I’m thinking that’s what he’s doing here. He’s threatening to fracture the furthest right to get what he wants and he’ll spend a pile to do it. I’m convinced this is his play to buy the Republican party.

Xtreme Politics!

Well is it?

Wait, I thought whoever was in charge of the government had the weather machines. So who really killed those people?

Announce that they’re opening the investigation but need all their land back because the documentation is scattered due to the war. Oh, we just can’t investigate with all this bombing going on, but we really, really want to.

The thing I found out when I was a manager is you will get exactly what you measure. If you measure how long it takes to close tickets your customer service will suffer (that’s a stupid thing to measure anyway, but we had a stupid director). If you measure the number of tickets closed then you’ll get each step of a process as a ticket. If you measure billable hours you’ll get a bunch of time padding.

So since the religion is measuring the amount of sin and (in some denominations cases) good works performed, that’s what you’ll get. How many of the big 10 did you stay on the right side of? Did you put in 2 hours at the soup kitchen? Cool, here’s your ticket to heaven. It’s not measuring how good you are to your fellow humans. And they’re pissed if you don’t have to follow the same rules they do because you don’t believe in the same sins. So they try to force others to live by their dumb ass rules instead of trying to get others to be good people.

I’m already working on a musical about them, but I think I may have to send it out of the country to be both published (under an assumed name) and performed.

I assume Calendar Man had a mental illness like OCD that manifested around dates due to the fact that his parents named him Julian Gregory Day.

And if someone has a mental illness in Gotham, you can bet a billionaire in S&M gear is there to beat the shit out of them.

I do audio mixing and having another scroll wheel is very nice up to a certain point. Per track volume, master volume, send volume, panning, scrubbing, jogging and fine jogging, track height, nudge…

I’d have to go look but I have something like 12 rotational devices programmed (it’s a macro pad with a bunch of layers and 3 wheels). Some of them I don’t use very often. Some get used every time I sit down. Because of them and way too many hours planning and setting my macros I rarely touch my mouse or keyboard anymore. It’s either done at the mixer or on the macropad.

ETA: I just looked again. The way it works would be incredibly cool for jogging the play head a single tick at a time. I already have a solution for that, but if I didn’t I would totally give this a try.

Peppa isn’t as bad as shit like Caillou, but Bluey is the best one by a mile.

Can I get in on that?

And the kid. And shot the dog. And likely deported the neighbor.

That’s a very good point that I hadn’t considered. I’m not sure what to do to provide necessary modifications fairly without favoring folks who are 9000 years old due to being cursed by a witch, but I’m sure someone out there has a good idea.

Absolutely. I want to keep the filibuster, but I want them to have to stand and talk the whole time. Cloture could still stop it. It would show who is really committed to a cause and who is just doing whatever is politically expedient.

Case in point: the downvotes are from people who don’t know or care about the difference.

It’s where you stand under a faucet and babies fall out, right?

Unhealthy salad? Ha! Pull the other one!

Seriously though, the amount of greens that I’ve seen recalled due to e. coli is crazy.
