When the government and unions run the schools, the result is ignorance and stupidity…..
This R/A Lightning Round just illustrated five recent examples of ignorance and stupidity!! SCAREY ignorance and stupidity!!!
In 2020 America to be a Democratic Socialist (OXYMORON) you MUST 1) leave any Common Sense Sense you might have 2) learn how to regurgitate the PART of INSANITY, ANTI-Americanism and FRAUD 3) live in bubble called BizzaroLand 4) accept “Stupid is Stupid.”
Yes folks there are faraday cage hoodies.

Tin foil with style.
Quick grab the fake body bags Movie props are expensive.
Bright side to Nerf gun story:
1 Mall Santa was canned;
2 Another Santa gave the kid a Nerf gun.
Hey. The sound cloud link in ther browser is playing the Bob’s diner episode rather than the corresponding video episode. It is like this is 3-4 other videos this week as well.
Thank you, Steve! π
made me laugh…
Re: The final lighting round item …
Yes, there are people that dumb, and there are a lot of them.
This seems amazing to anyone with even a modest education. By “modest education” I don’t mean people that went to MIT or Stanford and graduated with a PhD, I mean anyone who didn’t sleep through every single high school science class and managed to get a “C-” or better in those classes. This isn’t brain surgery or rocket science, it’s pretty fundamental, basic knowledge that anyone with any sort of education from a developed first world country should already have in their possession. With the internet being what it is now, if they don’t have that information they should be able to find and understand it.
But they don’t. I don’t know why. They’re not rare at all either, there are even people like that on this site.
Even though this is basic, ubiquitous, fundamental knowledge it is nearly impossible to get through to people suffering from this phenomena. There’s something wrong with their thought process and their ability to grasp and apply information. They’re really, really defensive and reactionary about it too. They believe deep down that they are the possessors of “secret knowledge” and they refuse to even consider what the rest of us would see as simple common sense.
Some of their favorite bugbears are:
Etc., etc., etc, …
There is a theory in psychology that these kinds of things are a coping mechanism that some people use to feel less helpless and more in control of their lives. That puts these silly beliefs beyond the reach of simple facts, reasonable discussion and logical argument because it is not actually something happening in the conscious fore-brain. I don’t know if this is true or not but I have never heard of a person who having once gone down this rabbit hole ever managed to come back to the real world.
These people are everywhere. Just this week I had a discussion with someone on this very website who insisted that the contact-less devices used to measure for a fever shoot harmful infrared radiation at your head and damage a gland deeply seated in the brain.
Three times I tried to explain to this person that those devices don’t “shoot” anything, they do not emit anything at all. They only measure the infrared light that you are emitting. If they did “shoot infrared” then they wouldn’t work because their own infrared would be skewing the reading they get from the person being checked for fever. Even if they did “shoot infrared” you’d get far, far more infrared from a half second of sunshine on your face and of the same frequency but far greater intensity.
That person’s final reply to me was to the effect of “You can let longwave radiation be shot into your forehead if you like but I’m not having it.”
I tried to be very reasonable and polite and did my best to explain the whole thing in simple terms using little or no scientific jargon. The person got mad at me. This is the most common reaction because anger is what you get when you try to make the unreasonable see reason.
What is really scary about this isn’t the crackpot ideas of “Chemtrails” and “Lizard Overlords”. Those things are frustrating but otherwise harmless. I suspect that the same psychological phenomena is in play with Leftist Doctrines. Because when you talk to a dedicated Lefty you see the same crackpot ideology firmly held beyond any hope of discussion. People that ban free speech in the name of “inclusiveness” are doing exactly the same thing from a different vector. Those same people will get very angry with you if you point that out to them.
I’m looking for the “LOL” emoji. It is reminiscent of the old Art Linkletter segment, “Kids Say the Darndest Things”.
So, if I may ask, what’s the need for the expanded bandwidth? Is it strictly customer “service”? Or is it a facility in the vein of restricting removal of batteries from cell phones?
That question is like asking “What do we need Gigabit Ethernet or fiber optic cable for?”
More bandwidth and more computing power always has more applications. There was a time when Bill Gates said that more than 512 MB of memory (RAM) would never be needed in a computer. The computer I’m typing this on right now has over 62x that much memory (32 GB) and it’s just exactly enough RAM for what it does.
One of my sons (as an adult at the time) asked me “Dad, what is the point in having faster computers?” I told him that it didn’t matter, when faster computers become available then means will be developed to exploit that higher capacity. Faster computers or faster networking …
Your question, to someone like me, is the same kind of thing. But then I don’t care if phone batteries are removable or not, I take them out and replace them anyway. I’m not being condescending here, I’m simply pointing out that I likely have more experience in technical fields than your question implies you have. I have no doubt there are other areas that you know more than I do.
The best commonly available data transmission medium we have today is fiber optic cable. If a solid, dependable wireless means of data transmission at high bandwidth becomes available it means that anything you do on fiber optic can be done with wireless.
For my purposes in my experience I avoid wireless networking as much as is reasonably possible. My home, yard and shop/office/radio shack are all on hard wired gigabit Ethernet cable. Cable, whether copper or fiber, is far more reliable than wireless. Even so I have a few dozen wireless devices in operation because some things can’t be wired or are in a position where running a cable just isn’t feasible.
The average non-technical home user doesn’t do that. They plug in a wireless router and live with it, maybe put a range extender or two around the place if they really need better service. I use a high end mesh wireless network and I’m still not fully satisfied with its performance and reliability. I still have to reboot the whole wireless system from time to time.
So people most certainly will put wireless 5G to work for things other than just phone services. 5G will give you the option for high speed internet anywhere the service is available. A cellular 5G modem and router will allow people to completely cut the cord to their cable and DSL service providers. There are industrial applications as well.
That pretty well covers in a nutshell what the greater bandwidth is good for. Let’s have a look at the silly myths about 5G.
Non-ionizing EMS/EMF (ElectroMagnetic Spectrum/Force) is harmless to human beings. Because we are used to it from time uncountable. You are being bombarded with huge amounts of Electromagnetic Radiation in ALL FREQUENCIES across the entire spectrum every day.. There’s a great big fusion bomb in the sky that emits them and it is so big it contains 99% of all matter in our solar system. It is so big that its own gravity causes hydrogen to fuse to helium and it is so big that its own gravity keeps it from flying apart from the resultant continuous fusion explosion. It emits Electromagnetic Radiation far, far more powerful in range, quantity and intensity than anything mankind is likely to develop in the next several millennia. That’s because it’s a star and that is what stars do. That star is called “Sol’ or “The Sun”.
You get more exposure to cell phone frequencies, including 5G, from the reflection of the Sun off Planet Venus than you do standing directly in the highest output lobe of a cell tower.
Wireless radio waves that are blamed for human ailments are a matter of psychological and not medical issues. Period.
People who are convinced that wireless networking is destroying their health are sick, but it’s not wireless emissions that causing their illness. They need help but not from an MD. They need psychological help and you can be sure of this because …
Even after all the effort I’ve gone to above to explain this kind of thing they will not believe the facts, reason, easily gained knowledge and plain old common sense. They will compartmentalize what I said and wall it off from their paranoid and dearly held beliefs that they are right, that someone else is to blame, and that they are possessors of special or secret knowledge.
Did that answer your question or do you require further clarification?
Still looking for those emojis. LOL
You make a good case for the industrial application of 5G, and I have little doubt you’re correct in that regard. In fact, my comment regarding the Art Linkletter segment should’ve suggested my perspective is much the same as yours, relative to various beliefs of others.
Essentially, you conceive the expansion to 5G being in the realm of customer “service”. And again, I believe you’re largely correct. Where we might diverge is in who the “customer” is. Convenience for the end user doesn’t necessarily make them the “customer”. Social media is an example; free use in exchange for personal information / data.
Remember, both the US and UK have resisted Chinese 5G; and I suspect for good reason. Sadly, politics (the nasty kind) is forever.
The reason the US and UK have resisted 5G from China is a matter of security, not health, concerns. Both nations are firmly behind the idea of a 5G networking rollout, it’s the problem with using Chinese hardware to accomplish it which is the sticking point. The Chinese produce the cheapest equipment but … There are hidden backdoors in it. Lenovo products are not allowed in secure areas in the US, UK and Australia for example.
I use cheap Chinese cameras (about 21 of them) on my video security system but I never let them “talk” to the internet. I create firewall rules for them on my Ubiquiti ER-8 commercial grade router and I assign them bogus DNS settings in their onboard networking configurations just to be sure. Then they all stream to a central server with a Security and Surveillance program called Blue Iris, which is an American originated software server program and out to the internet from there. I don’t trust Chinese hardware either.
As far as “customer service” goes, are you sure you don’t mean “service industry”? Traditionally, the phrase “customer service” means after-sale attention from the seller. If I buy a pair of pants at WalMart and they have a flaw or a rip in them when I get them home, I take them back to Customer Service for a refund or exchange. If I’m having a problem with my electrical service I call the power company’s Customer Service line. Providing the electricity is an aspect of the service industry, if there’s a problem that becomes a matter of post-sale Customer Service. So I’m confused what exactly you mean by that.
The service industry includes everything from restaurants to dry cleaning to the launch and orbital insertion of satellites. I.E. if you hire the ESA, NASA, Blue Origins or Space-X etc. to put your satellite in orbit — Those organizations don’t actually construct the satellite. You’re paying for “customer services” as you put it, to get your satellite in an orbit where you can put it to good use.
I have no idea where you can find a certain emoji that you arbitrarily label as something from the Art Linkletter show. I only ever use the native emojis/emoticons or the old fashioned ASCII emojis, which sometimes auto translate to an emoticon I’m not a big emoji/emoticon fan π
How sad.
What’s sad? That I’m not Captain Emoticon? Or that you misconstrued the meaning of “Customer Service” and juxtaposed it with “Service Industry”?
Or maybe what’s sad is that you’ve come here, paid for a membership, and all you really wanted was people to supply you with antique, obscure emojis that no one but you gives a flying rats rump about?
You wondered what my knowledge was. Well, I have an Engineering degree, and was privileged enough to spend 33+ years working for an electronics firm that produced communication and avionics for both military and commercial aircraft manufacturers.
I have met and worked along side of some brilliant people in their fields, be it chemical, mechanical or electrical. And I managed to get along with most all of them. But over all those 33+ years, I seldom ran across anyone who had such a need to display their “superior intellect” or brag about their toys. Sad.
You’re among friends here. Why not try developing some class, some humility?
I think you’re misinterpreting what I said. It’s hard to get “wry humor” across in text among other things.
I wasn’t “bragging about my toys” I was giving real world examples that I have personal, intimate experience with. I don’t see how that equates to “bragging”. Anymore than I think you citing your bona fides is bragging. If what I said was bragging you did it too.
I have/had no idea who you are or how much you know. Many, many people know nothing at all about this stuff and you didn’t demonstrate any particular knowledge before you jumped straight to butt-hurt.
It looked to me like you were fixated on some stupid emoticon. So I tried to be helpful and clear. That’s not flaunting “superior intellect” in my book, I expect people to do the same and I don’t slag on them and call them “sad” for it.
I’ll fully allow that I might have gotten what you said wrong. Like I said, it’s hard to get some things across in text.
You’re among friends here, how about giving people the benefit of the doubt, trying to be clearer in what you write so people know how to respond to you?. Try avoiding condescension like calling people “sad” and taking that chip off your shoulder. You can relax, it’s OK.
Sure. I’M the one being condescending. LOL
Remember, class and humility.
Whatever. Now you’re just trolling. You didn’t like what I said to you and jumped all ad hominem. Have a Merry Christmas anyway.
It’s not just that (______) are stupid, it’s that they know so much that is untrue. – To paraphrase a great American.
That great American being Ronald Reagan of course. I had a Marine buddy of mine who is retired and doing woodworking as a paying hobby make a plaque for me with a Reagan quote –
βSome people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference in this world. Marines don’t have that problem.β – Ronald Reagan
It’s wrapped up and I’m giving it to another buddy who is a retried USMC G2 Colonel for Christmas.
Ronnie was a great man. I’ve been to his Presidential Library and completely enjoyed the visit. I’m amazed that California hasn’t made them move it to another state …
If Trump spoke like Reagan and still acted like he did policy-wise as POTUS there would have been no way to beat him this last election Part of the reason Trump didn’t win by such a decisive landslide that even cheating wouldn’t have helped the Democrats is his mouth. I loved him as President but detest the man personally. A lot of people couldn’t get past that to do what’s right for the country and voted for Biden as a result. I think that if it wasn’t for cheating that still wouldn’t have mattered but there’s no use crying over spilled milk.
As a native NY’er, I have known of “The Donald” (as the tabloids dubbed him) since before I was a teen. I have always thought of him as a braying Jack—. But since I grew up around so many people that spoke the same way, it didn’t bother me. Or maybe better stated, I was able to see past that veneer. His policies for the most part of been outstanding. Not all would I agree with, but most. What has happened in the ME has been vastly under appreciated. I think most don’t understand what having diplomatic relations and direct trade really means.
Living in SW VA, I have met many folks who can’t see past the ego and the language (yet Bernie talks the same way or worse). Who think the braggart is the man. But for all his swagger people who know him, and I have met quite a few, really like him. Don’t forget that the same people saying all the nasty things about him spent the 90s-00s praising him and inviting him to their shindigs. Heck, his whole family were registered as D’s in NYC and couldn’t vote in his first primary there.
A quick Donald Story. The country club in my little town where I was a caddie as a youth came up for sale some time back. It was bought by none other than The Donald. After renovations and negotiations, it finally reopened as a Trump National course. As a thank you to the town, he bought them a new fire engine that they needed.
It saddens me that winning elections and getting and staying “in power” has become so important that the nouveau royalty of the media and congressional staff will do anything to stay in power. That massive fraud was committed should be evident to all and a true 4th estate would want to dig it out and shout it.
That’s a really long way of saying I agree with you, if he could have channeled a little Ronnie into Donnie’s speech, it would have been past the level of fraud.
Thanks, it looks like you got my point(s) and took them in the spirit intended.
When I say I don’t like Trump as a person, that’s my personal opinion of the guy as a person. I assure you, and everyone else, that if I were still in the military and was deployed to a combat zone on the orders of Donald Trump, or someone like him, I would feel far, far better about it than if it were Barack Obama ordering me into danger and hardship to prop up his political image.
This is important. I don’t like the blowhard media personality of Donald Trump but I love him as POTUS for his policies. Doubly important because I have a son who is of medium-high rank in the U.S. Navy. I would give my life to spare his, lots of people say such things but in my case I happen to actually know what that means because I have seen people give their lives and by the Grace of God and the ambiguity of weapons fire I didn’t have to. If he has to sail off to do battle with our enemies I’d feel a lot better about it with someone like Trump in office than with an empty suit like Obama calling the shots.
I’m a function over form kind of guy. I’ll take a good ol’ annoying but sincere blowhard over a sleazy political lizard every time. At the end of the day it’s not what you say or how you say it, it’s what you do.
But I still think if Trump could have contained himself and spoken like a President to match his actions we’d have no doubt he was going to be sworn in as POTUS next month. Some of this is his own fault because not everyone is function over form oriented. He should have studied Ronnie and Teddy Roosevelt, he would have come across as a lot less petty and petulant while still getting his point across firmly.
I think that mall Santa is very lucky my wife was not in line behind that kid. Don’t mess with mama bear. I don’t think he would have appreciated the mauling she would have given him. First verbal, then if he didn’t back down . . . sucked to be him. Oh and her brother works at the jail, don’t think she would have had any repercussions.
I’m pretty sure if that had been one of my kids I would have quietly told him that the guy in the red suit obviously is an imposter because Santa does not act like that. Then I would have put him off to the side a bit and quietly and calmly told that virtue signalling creep in the Santa suit —
“You might as well go clock out and turn in the suit because I’m going to go talk to the Mall manager right now and … When I come out of his office you won’t have a job anymore.”
Then I would have taken my kid home and we would watch “Fat Man” again.
Woke Santa Shown the Door…
Thank you very, very much for that link. It has renewed my Christmas Spirit and my faith in my fellow Americans. Nonsense like that, which hurts kids for no good reason at all and only serves to allow that virtue signalling creep in the Santa suit to demonstrate to other creeps how wonderful he is — Needs a strong reaction. Firing that guy is strong enough and the kid came out way, way on top of that situation.
Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Dude is probably shocked he got canned. He had two jobs: 1) Be nice to the kids and their parents 2) Sell toys. #2 being the top goal which is to be accomplished by #1.
You failed at your job, see ya.
The podcast just keeps repeating the French Laundry episode.
yes, driving me to the website… π
Litmus test. I’m yelling at the screen again.
Still trying to figure out why that doesn’t work. When I am on calls at work it goes both ways. I think they have our mics muted or something.
My boys made all kinds of weapons out of PVC pipes/tubes and parts.
Their number one weapon was the Flame Thrower, which had the added bright red/orange fish aquarium plants put in the ends.
When I was a kid one of my friend’s parents got him this building set of plastic tubes and connectors with the hopes we would build stuff. (just looked it up – Omagles) Nope – we used the plastic lengths as weapons. Swords, guns, you name it.
We did the same thing with Tinker Toys. We would have done it with Lincoln Logs but they don’t have anything but gravity to hold them in place. I made some dandy Tinker Toy ray guns ala Commando Cody: Sky Marshal of the Universe. I never missed an episode..
I remember those, we made teepees out of them with bedsheets and tunnels to each other’s teepee.
5G was fought by Trump because the first company to deploy it was from China, with the suspicious and obligatory “Back Door” for the Communist Chinese Spy agency. Huawei.The U.k. has told them to shut down also. Other 5G companies are O.K. but my phone and tablet are doing just fine on 4G!
If Antifa attacks me, I’ll leave brass casings behind!

Sorry for an administrative comment here, but Podcast links on recent shows all go to the “Eat at Joe’s” French Laundry Show.
To be fair, it was a very good episode. π
Scott;
“Kids don’t want to look at something that they don’t already agree with”.
Kids are taught what to think (instead oh how to think) and then taught that what they think is actual truth (this is the definition of conditioning).
Their lives are run by what they think so they automatically reject anything that conflicts with their thoughts because if they actually consider something that is in conflict with their beliefs they might discover that their belief is wrong and they can’t go there because if their belief is wrong then their lives have been wrong and that is unacceptable.
No WiFi for you, kid. You’re too stupid to know how to use it.
No Nerf gun for you, kid. You’ll shoot your eye out.
Won’t be able to buy Nerf ammo soon anyway.
I understand the prices are skyrocketing. π
Plenty of it all over the street in my neighborhood. Been warm and the little one’s have been out in force. No mailbox is safe from a Nerf attack.
