- U.S. House Hearing on UAPsprophetone
- Each house member preps questions independently of course, aren’t pre-sharing questions with each other, each proceed to ask the same 3-4 questionsprophetone
- with 1-2 questions that are different than previously-answered... meanwhile each person gets 5 minutes so everything is a rushprophetone
- then complaints pop up around we need to be made more aware of this phenomenon, we need more answers, resources... but cannot avoid repeated base level questionsprophetone
- instead of working together craft targeted questioning answered as efficiently thoroughly as possible, they prefer to waste everyone’s time to large degreeprophetone
- This last member is asking is their evidence that these uap exhibit capabilities beyong our current tech... YES! This was asked, answered like 20xprophetone
- haha geezprophetone
- Interesting, last member suggested that intentional withholding of uap data from congress by agencies should be considered criminal bc citizens in harms wayprophetone
- lol yea I noticed the repetitive questions. very annoying. some have been answered at last year's hearingfuturefood
- Other than that most of what was expressed by witness panel was same as last hearing, it exists, it’s being hidden, there’s no controlling it, time to wake upprophetone
- wake up to what, aliens?monospaced
- Wake up that hiding data and refusing to share resources keeps us all in dark... aliens? What would that mean? What is it that we’re dealing with exactly?prophetone
- The point of the hearings. There are people who have the answers, the data, the evidence, but political motivations keep most of it under wraps. Of course.prophetone
- What do you think they’re hiding? Aliens?monospaced
- What’s the political motivation?monospaced
- A) Nations esp U.S. motivated to keep everything close to chest so as to always have the upper hand vs opp nations re technologies, esp weaponized onesprophetone
- B) The reverse. A lot of the activity revolves around U.S. military, weapons and advanced tech locations effectively revealing their open weaknessesprophetone
- But Mono... why don’t you watch it and report back because it’s discussed... pair that with common sense understanding of how nations operate with this stuffprophetone
- Little of this is about the greater good, keeping our citizens informed, public safety, expanding our place in universe... it’s all politics and economicsprophetone
- Actual wild stuff is happening... it affects all of us and maybe one day in a major ways... some old guy(s) in a suit insists you’re not allowed to know about itprophetone
- lol, watch it, okmonospaced
- Or not haha, I get itprophetone

I grew up having two cats.
Never seen the appeal of having a drooling dog.
One of the things that pisses me off the most is dog piss streaming across the pavement. With only a dog sh*t on the pavement trumping that.The wife and two young kids (5&7) all want to get a dog.
I know I'll be the one left to walk it in the Scottish wind and rain, have to clean out the car etc.Am I being too pessimistic?
Tell me the good things about having a dog.
Did having a dog turn you from a cat person into a dog person? :P- A tale as old as time: dad doesn’t want dog, family wants dog. Dad worries he’ll have to do all the work.nb
- Every single time, the dog and dad become best friends and the dad is grateful to do all the work.nb
- get them a
unitree go 2
or a roombla+a mop+ductape.uan - Haha, yes I guess its an old repeating story.
One benefit in having a dog and having to do all the walking is that it'd get me off my ass more and out walking.microkorg - i was a cat person before we got a dog. best thing we ever did. it changes walking from just going A->B in to something enjoyable, i walk downkingsteven
- every street, know a load of my neighbours, dog people, every short-cut and back road in a 4 mile radius. my dog loves the rain so now i do to.kingsteven
- All my mates got dogs, so they could smoke weed away from family, worth thinking about it.mrAtor
- https://www.boredpan…nb
- One of life’s great pleasures is a dog walk that happens to stop at the pub. Share your crisps and everyone’s happy.MrT
- lol mrAtorNairn
- Thanks KingSteven.
If i still smoked weed I'd prob see it as a great opportunity for a toot too!microkorg - Heard from a dog owning work colleague who lives in my area that a lot of the local shops will give your dog treats.microkorg
- An animal is for life, he's family till death. So be sure before making the move. Abandoning an animal is a tragedy.HAL9001
- Kinda genius as it means the dog will always want to stop by those shops on walks.microkorg
- Shitting in a litter box doesn't make u more civil. When cats use the toilet and can flush, then I will respect them.cherub
- HAL. Wouldn't abandon an animal.
It's likely it'll be a young rescue dog/pup if we get one.microkorg - good thing is you will always have someone that looks up to you and want to be around you all the time (unlike most cats).Nutter
- True Nutter.
One of my wifes team told her that it'll be someone who's always super happy to see you. Unlike children! Haha.microkorg - Get a dog and move where there's less rain, problem solved :)davey_g
- All my cat loving friends who got their first dog couldn't believe the depth of love a dog can give you, it's like a natural anti-depressant. Go dogs.davey_g
- Well done, Bennn! I'm sure our friend in Edinburgh would've in all likelihood blithely hoyed the beast into a bin after the novelty had worn off otherwise.Nairn
- I always had both cats and dogs growing up. Now living in London's made me allergic to both, and I couldn't imagine cooping up a dog inside all day long :(Nairn
- 1/2: I dislike dogs. Our nanny has a dog. She moved in with us. Now we have a yapping little dickhead who is so happy to see me when I get home.DaveO
- 2/2: Once the dog got pregnant and I took her to a vet to deal with a stillborn pup. Now the dog loves me even more. I still dislike dogs... apart from her!DaveO
- no one mentioned finding a sitter when you're traveling. My cat has been living in our home by herself in Turkey since August. The sitter stops by 2-3 timesBeeswax
- a week to clean her litter box. She can also roam on her own and come back home. Good luck doing that with a dog.Beeswax
- Do you have a garden? Then it's a no brainer. Get a dog.
Live in an apartment? It'll get you out the houseProjectile - Also... teach your kidsa some responsibility. Want something bad? Agree to 2x daily chore and make them stick to itProjectile
- Yes, have a decent garden, so maybe don't need as many 'walkies'.
Good shout with teaching the kids responsibility.microkorg - I had to feed cats as a kid.
Been looking at rehome dogs, one they liked said 'doesnt likeloud noises' so told them if we get a pet there can be no tantrums etcmicrokorg

Two nights ago, this time, the geese passed through, on their annual migration, heading south, entering through the Pyrenees...
And it shows, today I had to turn on the heating in the studio, with my hands frozen and wearing a vest, just in case.
The group of stray cats that I feed every day, look out from the garden window, they are cold and want to come inside. There are 5 of them, too many to feed all winter.
Look how my head works (also my wife's, apparently) I only think about the weekend to light the fireplace, prepare comforting recipes, read and rest, winter is coming, and with it, the time to take things more calmly.

Vid of the Day
This is the antidote to all that generic trap shit. This is people creating, experimenting, being truly excited about music. And watching shit like this makes me exited, and gives me faith that no amount of mediocre blend-of-everything-that-exists AI bullshit can replace true human creativity.
- I've been listening to this album non-stop since it came out, absolutely fantastic stuff.elahon
- once you realise it's a creator vs consumer mind game, success follows.uan
- Thanks for the hook up!toemaas
- I still don’t know what Trap music is.
But I’ll give it a shotfuturefood - Trap is (basically) rap with 808 drums and fast highhats. That shit has dominated rap for 10 years +jagara
- ^ahh ok. That's why I haven't heard.
For me, any rap after 1995 is cacawaterfuturefood - 1995 is a bit early for cacawater. Make it early 2000's when the bling age starts.jagara

Apple
Oh, so wonderful...
In the middle of a zoom appointment, my 2018 MBP screen started flickering. Mildly at first, then it got worse, the screen was basically splitting horizontally and displaying the top menu bar in the middle.
Screen eventually went black. Can't even start up with an external monitor and see anything. When I try various safe restart methods, the screen stays black and the startup sound just plays every 10-20 seconds.
Going to the apple store in less than an hour to have it looked at. I'm sure they'll charge me hundreds of dollars to fix something; there's no way I can afford a new laptop right now.
- Not good; Could be internal GPU burned out, which involves the entire logic board. Or perhaps screen or display hinge cable — which is also significant.evilpeacock
- That sucks. But you did the full migration to the mini so that’s good right?monospaced
- Get the work off, that happened to me, it's a slow decay.PhanLo
- ya sounds like GPUpango
- IF Apple wants to do a logic board replacement, and you want to pay for it, then go to a data recovery place first to get the data BEFORE Apple touches it.monospaced
- Sorry to hear that.canoe
- Thanks. I did a Time Machine backup last week. Went to the store, screen is dead. $650 to repair.mg33
- I don't need one right away, but I'm honestly considering upgrading into a refurbished 15 inch M3 Air, which would trounce my 2018 Intel MBP.mg33
- For 650 you can almost buy a mac mini...oey_oey
- Same happened to my old MacBook. I am using it now attached to a different monitor.zaq
- This will still run with an external monitor, but I already have that with the Mac mini.mg33
- same happened to me - i could use an external monitor as a mirror for about a week and then that stopped too..._me_

RE: my post below about my 2018 MBP screen.
Reassure me / convince me that in virtually all tasks I'd do on a laptop, (PS work, but nothing outrageous, Lightroom editing (not classic version), Illustrator, running stuff for my pen plotter, and web / Wordpress work) a M3 MacBook Air with 16gb ram is going to run circles around a 2018 intel i7 MBP.
If an M3 MacBook Air is comparable to an M1 Mac mini with 16gb ram (which would just traded in) I have to assume it's going to be perfectly suitable, given I have the new M4 Mini with 24gb ram to do serious stuff.
Need to place an order ASAP.
