Why does everything have to pile up onto the Friday?

So... All the timing all goes to ...

At least I can feel virtuous for un-jamming a few jobs with some keen sleuthing. Yeah! Still glowing nicely from some technical revelations yesterday. Proprietary lock-in be damned!!


Lots to do!

And the weather has taken an about turn to be unseasonably warm and mild and not freezing wet. That jet stream high up somewhere must be very badly kinked at the moment...

It is greedy profits and personal ego all-the-way.

Science has too much 'Inconvenient' Truth...?
Only the fairy tale, er good Book has truth.

Worse than that...

The fairy tale politicians lack any understanding of Science and see such science and scientists as impossibly difficult and scary even.

So then, what better than to selectively ignore evidence, especially to ignore scientific evidence and the real world, to then blame all the COVID troubles on the make-believe of rogue science gone wrong? I'm sure there must be a film or two about that already.

Brilliant!!

Science gets denigrated, de-funded, is made to "go away", and so the ignorant politicans can then hope they do not get contradicted or otherwise shown up as idiots by those "difficult" scientists...


Even more brilliant, denigrating science makes the climate pollution problems all "go away" also!


All too Inconvenient?

Only in the USA??

Hallelujah!

22A single phase... That's taken TWO WEEKS to find out!!

No useful details from the supplier or manufacturer. However, some other poor sod suffered a damaged unit and did a bit of reverse engineering and has kindly published what was found... All in a very very obscure niche of the internet!

Fantastic!!

Sort of winning...

The shrugging shoulders "good enough no cares" operator was persuaded to get somewhat closer to 100% for the sake of engineering correctness... That took quite a 'discussion'... I was in no mood for his excuses or squirming pride. We got nearer to spec this time.

I'm fore armed for if he's coinciding on the next shift...

All very silly.

Enjoying a pause for thought inside.

Truth becomes damned:


New congressional report: “COVID-19 most likely emerged from a laboratory”
wrote:
A textbook example of shifting the standards of evidence to suit its authors' needs.

Recently, Congress' Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic released its final report. The basic gist is about what you'd expect from a Republican-run committee, in that it trashes a lot of Biden-era policies and state-level responses while praising a number of Trump's decisions. But what's perhaps most striking is how it tackles a variety of scientific topics...

... This sort of shifting of the evidentiary baseline has been a feature of some of the more convoluted arguments in favor of creationism or against the science of climate change. But it has mostly been confined to arguments that take place outside the view of the general public. Given its extensive adoption by politicians, however, we can probably expect the public to start seeing a lot more of [shifting the claims and 'evidence'].



Gossip and Fox News outdo Science?...

Science has too much 'Inconvenient' Truth...?


Indeed hell and damnation against any real world realities...

Is this a new world of power-politics all-the-way, regardless?

Stay safe folks??

Chill damp cold long dark nights for around here heralds:

A cacophony of screeching slipping drive belts and spluttering over-choked fumes rich old fossils chugging by... Too many of 'em...


There's a lot round here that is in need of cleaning up to be recycled in whatever way might be possible!

Here again in the Food Desert.

All is rather dark and chilly.

And for our just deserts... The sugar rations are piled high! I went for the least bad with fish 'n' chips...

Must come up with a more workable healthy strategy that can work for here...!

Hire and fire...

And then rehire but ooops... Where goes the essential special knowledge for doing the job safely, and to a good standard??...


Note how the Bosses have no clue of what the real world job is...

Perhaps a safety requirement is that they spend a week truly doing the job directly themselves... Ofcourse, supervised by those they are about to fire...


All in a deadly greedy 'game' of profitably gambling the lives of others?...

Can't find where the main thread is for the UK Post Office financial scandal...

But has this not been a long game of politics kicking the can down through the DECADES?...


'Dozens' being investigated over Post Office Scandal
wrote:
Police investigating crimes linked to the Post Office Horizon IT scandal are looking at "dozens" of potential suspects, but don't expect trials to begin until 2027.

Police are investigating possible crimes by Post Office and Fujitsu employees and external lawyers, following the wrongful prosecution of hundreds of subpostmasters...



Will the Post Office directors and bosses all get a "Get Out of Jail" Scot free card on the lame excuses of retirement and legal time limits?...

Meanwhile, the lives of many people have been blighted and destroyed.


All in our deadly greedy world...

Very good to be back in Civilisation...

But...

Time is flying far too fast! And that's without any storm winds... I'll just be getting used to enjoying myself again, and then it's back to the unhealthy desolation...

Meanwhile...

The delayed delivery turned up as originally promised. No delays. Ok... All good. All a game of expectations?

Overnight tests of some new working went well. Later tonight should run even smoother. Minor niggles require a bit of fixing here before I jump over to my alternate working in the Food Desert.

... Which leads into a bit of a rush...

I've already suffered too much rush/haste coming to grief with this stuff...
