Ah yes, *another* tech solution nobody asked for: "Ovld – Now You Too Can Experience the Joy of Overcomplexifying Function Calls!" 🙄 Because what Python *really* needed was more feature-bloat under the guise of 'efficiency' 🚀.

A quotation from Will Rogers

Talk of opening seven thousand closed banks. That will put over a half-million bank vice-presidents back on the payroll.

Signs of implosion of the Trump regime on every level...

"The changes will leave Hegseth without a chief of staff, deputy chief of staff, or senior adviser in his front office."

So hopefully only the internal Pentagon resistance will survive...

Ah, the modern art of police-induced confessions—where getting a straight answer is as elusive as understanding an 'Incapsula incident ID' 🤔🚓. Apparently, the biggest risk factor here is expecting useful information from a blocked page. But hey, at least they’re consistent in their inefficiency! 🤷‍♂️

Ignore Climate? Bad.
Undo Climate regs? Much worse.
But not track weather???

"Transparency", which the unelected co-president often claims of DOGE, is not a descriptive term, but a fraudulently offered fig leaf intended to subtly dissuade their all-too-trusting followers not to look deeper.

The kind of "inefficiency" they are really seeking to end is not the process inefficiency of these agencies, but the deliberative oversight by Congress that is its protection, and ours, against exactly this kind of smash and grab.

Their hurry is to steal as much as possible as quickly as possible in an irrevocable way, hoping to leave a crippled system that can no longer function to come after them.

Also, they rail against it "entitlement", but they are its poster children.

They are two irony-fisted dictator wannabes.

We must not let them succeed.

Feeling a little deflated at #work. I've been working on a tool to extract data from log files we collect to automatically categorize some known issues. That's been going along pretty well though it's a bit of edge case whack-a-mole. The issue is that I thought the group I'm making this #tool for had direct access to those logs, but apparently they are all just in a folder somewhere that we can only access through a clunky web interface. #Engineering really needs this data.

Bloody hell, this is awful - who would have guessed that US studios live in the past and don't pay in the present? I suppose this actor could endorse the cheques to his American agent and the agent could cash them and pay him irishtimes.com/your-money/2024
