Automatron

Bear with me on this…

Things that are fucked up in Fallout 4

1. A laser weapon should have zero recoil.
2. A laser weapon the time to target should be range / speed of light.
3. A ballistic weapon the time to target should be range / speed of the projectile
4. A ballistic weapon damage should be projectile weight x projectile speed
5. Difficulty settings should be linear and sensible.

By far the most effective weapon is the 5.56 mm assault rifle, make it full auto, all the mods, add a silencer, tap the trigger and three hits with the puny 22 caliber round do more damage than the same shot at the same range with a 50 cal sniper.

The fully modded railway rifle is the only “proper” weapon, (broadsider excepted) that shows any bullet drop, which is fair enough, it is after all firing a railway spike, but a 50 cal does 128 damage and a railway spike should therefore, based on mass alone, do 1200 damage, it does not, it does barely more than the 50 cal.

Laser weapons should not have any recoil, ever, ever, ever.

A ballistic head shot should be a ballistic head shot, super mutants should not take 5 head shots with a 5.56 to put down on survival mode.

There should be more of the cunts (enemies) and they should be more aware and more skilled with weapons and maybe have a greater percentage of better weapons and maybe better sensor technology, that is what max difficulty SHOULD be, not just decreasing the damage a given bullet does to a given enemy.

Yeah yeah, I know, it’s all about the fucking game play, well I’m sorry, but these are simple simple simple little coding issues that should have been got right on day one.

Automatron *kinda* gets it right, you get swarmed with well armed bots, but it also gets is wrong, what, these bots don’t communicate with each other via wifi and share intelligence?

Everyone in the game, bots included, talk about “I’ll send the map co-ordinates to your pip boy” and indeed there are several radio stations in the game, and yet there is no mention or use a smart connected devices.

Codsworth and all the Mr Handy’s, they break reality the instant you see them, they balance on a jet exhaust, at the BOTTOM of the bot in the most unstable position possible, yet this vast energy expenditure does no damage to anything nearby, stand next to the robotic twat and you don’t get cooked, nor is there any explanation of the fuel source, maybe it is one of the fabled fusion cells that seem to run generators for hundreds of years, put one in a mobile suit of armour however and it only appears to last for a day or two.

Bethdesa went to a *LOT* of work to get all the hard things right, but it’s like Star Wars space craft performing aerobatic maneouvers in a vacuum, at the last minute someone decided that imposing even a teensy tiny bit of physical reality was too much trouble, until such point as they need to invoke something limiting in gameplay, at which point physical reality is magically introduced to that thing and that thing only.

Does not fucking compute.

I built a kick ass sentry robot for Jamaica Plains and sat back and watched it, within 5 minutes it was swarmed by 6 ferals, and they kicked it’s ass and only 2 of them died, when the sentry bot died, the only things I could salvage from it were the items I had traded with it 5 minutes before, kill any other bot and there are bits to salvage.

Does not fucking compute.

This shit isn’t new, back in the day with James T Kirk when the Enterprise was stuck because the dilithium crystals were “drained” Spock suggests pointing the phasers at the crystals and firing at them to recharge them, it might just fucking work, says Scotty, well it worked last week mother fuckker, and the week before, so maybe you should retrofit the fucking starship to run off phaser batteries and not fucking dilithium crystals.

I keep coming back so Sagan saying what do you think will happen in a world utterly dependent upon science and technology where nobody has a fucking clue about science and technology.

Maybe Bethseda game developers are also running the economy, international relations, the war / not war in Syria, ISIS, Cisco, you name it?

It sure fucking would explain a lot.

Sure I blew four guys in the alley behind the nightclub last night, but I didn’t *fuck* any of them, so it ain’t cheating.

We didn’t actually have *sex* y’know….

It seems that absolutely nothing is “what it says on the tin” anyone, in fact, it has gotten to the point that the most informative thing you can pull from whatever a thing is supposed to be is that that is one thing you can at least guarantee it is not.

Patriot Act passim..

Now even the nips and belgians are talking about the possibility of nuclear war, maybe they are all playing Fallout 4 too.

Maybe they are all thinking it ain’t that bad, just tidle down the console and type “tgm” (toggle god mode) and all is well, sucks if you’re playing on a PS4 of course, but then that’s for the proles…

Altruism only works in small communities, for definitions of community that may vary widely from what you expect, with my other small business owner hat on my customer base is a small community to me, and altruism works well there.

Altruism does not work in larger communities, in my previous role as cog in the IT channel partner company altruism = exploitation and you never get shit back except more opportunities to take it up the ass from the man.

Again the definition of community here is malleable.

I can sit here in the multicultural UK and see quite clearly and quite easily how we could have a backlash and make the muslims here feel like the jews did under Adolf, shut the fuck up and get in the showers bitchez.

It’s a thing in the 21st century, the richest pickings no longer centre around manufacturing or resources of innovations, the mother lode is now the masses of humanity themselves, harvest at will, exploit at will, just define them as “other” first and you’ll have no trouble at all.

It’s easy to know the states, banana republics, united fruit, guatemala, overturning a democratically elected guatemalan government because it went againt the business interests of a foreign national company, but we have all done it, look at the suez canal, something which incidentally has been around in one form or another for 3,000 years, but the modern deLesseps one, the UK had the world’s largest fleet and stood to gain the most from it, but it was a French idea so we were agin it, but we were happy to lend the money to the turkish boss man in Egypt, and then bankroll / bankrupt his son, and by the time the Egyptians have their own arab spring and elected Nasser back in the day the one country that did not even own one share in the suez canal running through Egypt was Egypt herself, so Nasser decides they need the Aswan high dam to feed the people, and again we refuse to lend him the money, next thing you know Nasser closes the suez, isralis french and british troops drop in, 6 days later a whole bunch of jordan and egypt ends up being israel, and 6 years later the original 99 year lease on the canal expires, so egypt owns it, and the aswan high dam, that was built with russian money.

Every week is fuck your neighbour over week, ain’t nothing new about it now, don’t matter what Trump really is or really stands for, because the grassy knoll and Dallas 1 p.m. and ballistic lead meets prezzident’s brain, don’t matter who da prezzident is.

Between the Mechanist and the Brotherhood of Steel and the Institute and the Gunners and so on, Fallout 4 is a fucked up world 200 years after the atomic war, and there are only five children in the whole game, one is a zombie boy in a fridge and one is a smart ass girl pimping pamphlets in a former baseball stadium, I’ll leave you to work out the others, so the population as a whole is fucked, ain’t nobody gonna be building nothing.

I was raised with tales of corrupt foreign climes where people were dragged up before the courts of charges they had no possible hope of defending against, pour encourager les autres.

Just last week some 80 year old guy locally was convicted of putting his hand down a girl’s pants during a game of hide and seek back in 1982.

I’ve played through Fallout 4 a few times now, every fucking time, without fail, I have killed my kidnapped son, fucking little turncoat shit.. the babe at Tenpines Bluff has a nice pair of tits… Fuck Yeah…

Fuckin’ abaht…

During one of those quiet times while drinking coffee and surfing the net, come on with the fallout 4 DLC next week already…lol, I happened to check out my ex employers website, and happened to click on the blog.

Now this is a company that relies/relied 100% on guys like me at the sharp end to actually go out in the field and actually do the fucking work, and the penny pinching and cost cutting and lack of support and lack of any financial or other rewards just got too fucking much…. a few months prior to leaving I was training up a guy in his early 20’s who was given a company car and a staggering UK£14,000 annual salary, this is for the 40 hour basic week and you could easy do 1,000 – 1,500 miles in that week…

OK, the work is not physically hard, or even terribly challenging, but it’s easy to do anything from taking that site down to taking the entire network of 900+ UK retail sites in that chain down (just mistakenly configure the router, swap the site router IP address and the main UK HQ site router address) and by “site” I mean up to and including taking walmart down nationwide for the day.. and sorry, but 14k BEFORE TAX and a car isn’t a fucking living wage in the UK, not unless you live in a cheap hovel, don’t smoke or drink, don’t go out, don’t have cable TV or a landline phone, don’t have any hobbies, and live on rice and lentils, and never turn on the central heating…

But the point stands that the guys on the sharp end got paid peanuts and treated like shit, so it was with some mirth that I read on the blog page that da management had just been on a jolly to San Diego to the Cisco conference / expo, I guess that’s why we workers had to work for fuck all, so management could afford international travel to jollies worldwide.

OF Course management will tell you this is the only way to stay in business and stay competitive… these are the same sorts of cunts talking about Brexits and QE99 and the latest fucking Budget from the UK Guvvmint, like they know what the fuck they are talking about.

VOIP telephony and IP video conferencing and other emerging / converging technologies are of course only good enough for the peons, the management have to attend conferences in Bali face to face with other management types, it’s the only way to do business donchaknow…

At this point, and this is par for the course in IT in the UK, nobody has actually checked that as an ex employee I no longer hold copies of all the corporate data, and to be fair 99% of this, to be useful, you have to be sat physically in front of a Cisco box on site, but if you are you have the keys to that particular kingdom, and as Kevin Mitnick will attest to, should I have a mind to, it would be trivial for me to rock up unannounced, claim that I am there on behalf of BT / Talk talk / Virgin / Serco / et al and just wander in, and I’d get in, no question about it, and there is a bloody good chance it would never get back up the food chain that a guy attended a site where no attendance was booked.

And Cisco talk about, in very muted tones, the vulns in their hardware, again, citing Mitnick, the real vulns are on site, and if you can get physical access, you can get root, even if you do not walk in already knowing root logins and every other possible details of the config.

Insert three letter acronym secret service state within a state security operative here, if I can do it, they can do it, the difference is if they do it nobody is going to come along in a uniform and ask them awkward questions and arrest them.

As mentioned previously, there are indeed mysterious black boxes, and they are indeed black, in the networks hubs of this country that are plugged directly into the backbone and which can copy / intercept / adjust / alter any traffic they choose, up to a limit which I do not honestly know, but which I would guess simply by comparing the sheer number of racks of black boxes compared to the number of racks of Teir 1 kit, is very very high.

And as the latest UK state snooping bill comes around again to legitimise all this, everyone’s panties are in a mangle again, meanwhile ignoring the 9,000 lb gorilla in the room..

Fuckbook alone is more than adequate for tracking 90% of the population down to excruciating detail, and by excruciating details I mean knowing if you missus is preggers before you do, possibly even before she does…

… add in amazon and twatter and so on and you’re up to 95% of the population tracked to this level.

So in short all these black boxes and all these snooper’s charters are utterly pointless, you already have panopticon levels of surveillance and monitoring and profiling of the average guy on the street.

Ergo, it can’t be about the average guy on the street, and it just ain’t worth it for the other 5% of the population like me who you can’t track by inference from monitoring the fuckbook profiles of people with fuckbook, so it’s way too big a sledgehammer for way too small a nut.

The cunts already have backdoor access to all my phone records and all my SMS records, and even if you accept that whatsapp messages are encrypted, the sender and recipient is known my phone number, so there is still lots of data to mine there.

So the ONLY THING LEFT that can be monitored and profiled and recorded and mined is not personal data, which means the only thing left is business and financial data.

There is only one thing governments are truly afraid of now, and that thing is corporations and financial conglomerates, so this shit is not about being able to track who Joe Bloggs is fucking on the side that his wife does not know about, or what Syrians he knows, or when he bought some fertiliser and diesel, or why he hates the local whatever…

… this shit is about being able to dig from the other end, it’s the double secret invite only but you don’t even know you got invited and signed up for life fuckbook for companies and conglomerates and financial institutions.

Need to know for guvvmint includes heads up that walmart is going to close all the stores in Gotham, after they already drove the independents out of business, and Tata going to close the steel plant and car works in Gotham, and sudden disparities in the flows of capital for property / real estate purchases in Gotham, weeks or months before the folks of Gotham know.

Because, Detroit, you can buy a house on a double lot in nice condition with good sitting tenants paying 500 bucks a month rental in Detroit for 5,000 bucks, and it is NOT a good business proposition, because the old owner got grandfathered in low low city tax rates, and as the new owner you get the new tax rates, and the fucking rent won’t cover them, and trust me, the guvvmint of detroit and greater metro regional political areas want to know this shit *before* it filters down to the sad fucks who actually live there, or Gotham, or a town near you, or your town.

Trump, whatever else he is or is not or pretends to be or anything else, is one thing the system absolutely fucking hates, he is the wild card, the Adolf Hitler, the one the “experts” say is a joke who cannot possibly even get 5% of the protest vote, much less upset the apple cart, much less actually fucking win…

Trump represents change, but in the disruption sense, in the predictive models were wrong sense, in the we were not expecting that sense, and that is what these people are truly terrified of, because if they were not expecting it, they cannot plan for it, and make sure that whenever it actually happens, they are sufficiently distanced from it.

You *know* what the future holds if you vote for Hitlery, good or bad does not come into it, it is the knowing and fitting existing models that defines good or bad, not any intrinsic moral question, Kim Jong and North Korea is good, ISIS and jihad is good, Erdogan and Turkey is good, because they all fit into the models of the expected, and when they don’t. you can plug that back into the models.

Niven wrote about it, “Crazy Eddie” where the definition of “sane” is that things have always been thus and nothing can be done about it and nothing should be done about it, because this is the best of all possible scenarios, and only Crazy Eddie thinks there is another way, and Crazy Eddie always always always upsets the apple cart, which is therefore the definition of insanity, hence Crazy Eddie and not just Eddie.

It’s not that a Trump / Crazy Eddie will themselves make anything better, it is that they will destabilise things, and instead of sane and sensible voting for Hitlery and Erdogan and ISIS, you’ll get a whole bunch of other crazy fucks deciding to run for office, on tickets like “kill all the niggers” and “kill all the californians” and “kill all the lesbians and homos and single moms” and “fuck your taxes and your draft and your IRS”

And from that perspective, voting for Hitlary does seem sane, for values of sane that include no surprises here thank you very much, we will just have more of the same year on year boiling the frog, who knows, Darwin may step in and the frog will evolve to like boiling water, it’s the American Way, after all.

The founders of the company *deserve* to go on jollies to San Diego off the backs of the employees, and the employees *deserve* their subsistence wage jobs, after all, they did not found the company…

Shut the fuck up and eat your gruel.

Of course, it is also true that those eating the gruel are sick of the ever smaller gruel content, and every greater proportions of recycled sewer water and solyent green to bulk up the meal, Brawndo, it has electrolytes and everything.

So sooner or later they get so sick of it they decide it’s time for a change, noope, no idea what is behind the curtain, but I no longer care, I’m so sick of this that *any* change is good for me right now.

Again, it is entirely possible, even likely, that the vast majority of those who then get that change regret it, and wish they could go back to extra big ass fries and brawndo and the ‘tarded wife, but by then it is too late, and if Trump ain’t the one to upset the apple cart, he for sure is a harbinger of the one to come who will.

You can get ANYONE, or ANY GROUP of people, to do the most stupid lame ass bound to end in tears thing you like, all you have to do is make them so sick and tired of what they have NOW that ANY change seems like a good idea at the time.

“Here, hold my beer and watch this…”

Hillary Clinton has been involved in corruption for most of her professional life!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 18, 2016

At this point it doesn’t really matter what Trump really is or is not, what he does or does not stand for, whether he would be the best or worst prezzident of da yewwwnyted states ever, if he is in bed with goldman sachs or not…

All that matters is that he has gone Crazy Eddie, and to the genuine horror of every single part of every single state apparatchik in every “civilised” country, the fucking voters are lapping it up.

Back when obummer was running I warned all the yanks (here in this blog, so you can check on it) to be very very cautious, because if they voted him in all they would be doing is voting in a black Tony Blair, and what a cunt he was, but England being what it is we all saw sanity and sense and replaced him with jolly old Cameroon, old etonian, what what… god forbid that UKIP chappie had been taken seriously.

But no, you voted for obummer, and in many ways (Detroit passim etc) fuck yeah america was big enough to have some fairly extreme problems and some fairy extreme extremes between the have’s and have nots, so the sane and sensible path of replacing obummer with yet another Bush or a reanimated Raegan or another Clinton was just that bit more shaky.

Fuck yeah amerika is also big enough and diverse enough that it is more possible for those in DC to be more out of touch with the guy in Podunk than the inhabitants of Whitehall with respect to the guy in Devizes.

And god does nature ever abhor a vacuum.

Never forget the independent actors

It’s a thing I frequently try to get across to her indoors, she is currently embroiled in a legal spat with her employers, bottom line is she suffered an injury at work.

She, like many people, has difficulty with the concept that her employers, Acme Corp, are staffed by Acme Corp employees, in the roles of managers and supervisors and so on.

While it may be true that Acme Corp has a vested interest in covering up what it can and not being found liable for her injury and not paying anything out or making any concessions, they are not so stupid as to *openly* break the law of the land in ways that cannot be defended against.

Enter the independent actors in the form of management of the depot, they may well be employees of Acme Corp, but they also have their own personal agendas, being that if they personally fucked up, they personally will attempt to paper over cracks, cover up, and do things that are openly against the law of the land such as deleting or falsifying evidence, in an attempt to cover their own asses and ongoing salary cheques.

With the benefit of 20/20 hindsight most of these independent actors will regret their actions, but at the time, they are just independent actors working within the corporate framework, and tons of shit gets lost behind the filing cabinet every day, and nobody notices or cares, so the temptation to do the same for her indoors is strong… what accident book? there isn’t one, we just write notes of pieces of paper and forward them to someone else higher up the food chain.. what tachos? oh I guess yours (and nobody else’s) got lost, etc etc.

It’s why my erstwhile line manager told me that my contract said I am liable for the mobile phone that the company shipped me just before xmas, that I never got, that I never even knew they had shipped until february.

My contract *actually* states that I am liable for loss or damage to any phones or other company equipment in my possession, so I told them if they deduct I will see the cunts in court.

It’s why Npower continue to hassle me for monies that I do not owe.

It’s why three years ago when I started at my erstwhile employer only one job every two weeks was failed to be remedied on the first visit, and at the end it was one job every two weeks being completed on the first visit.

All employees are also independent actors, and they act in their own very short term / immediate *perceived* self interest.

The job of management *used* to be to ensure that that did not happen, from 9 to 5 you were not a fucking independent actor buddy, you toe the fucking company line, and that make the COMPANY toe the fucking company line too, so they company never fucked you over either.

The place I worked was basically (as far as my own employment was concerned) split into two factions, one was Project Management, PMO, which dealt with scheduled works, and one was Service Desk, SD, which dealt with unscheduled stuff like call outs and breakdown and repairs.

Due to SLA’s and shit, SD had top dibs, unless I was actually on site on a PMO job, SD could ring me and tell me to forget the PMO job and go to the SD job.

1 week in 5 I was “on call” which meant 24/7 for that period, and because it was on call, PMO were not supposed to put anything in my diary at all, due to working time directives, if I have just done 8 hours for PMO and SD call me and tell me to go to a site 2.5 hours drive away I’d be over my hours and within my rights to tell them to fuck off, which I did, regularly, because PMO kept booking jobs out for me during my on call week.

I was reminded of this recently, Steve Jobs did the same thing at apple while Woz was away recuperating from his plane crash, he turned apple into Mac vs AppleII, and it really was vs, and when Woz got back he promptly walked out, never to return.

Jobs got kicked out and then came back and did the exact same thing, this time it was Mac vs iPhone, and then the miserable cunt died.

Sadly due to the vagaries of the various financial casinos the capitalisation of AAPL exceeds the GDP of many large countries, so what Jobs did was seen as successful, so schizo companies with internal departments permanently at war with each other became the norm.

Me, I never got it, SD and PMO hating each other, y’all work for the same bunch of cunts and y’all get the same name on the payee in the pay cheque, and the rot goes all the way up to manglement, with each one trying to make his or her own dept reign supreme… if fucking primary school playground childish.

We got it in the UK now at the national level, talking again about brexit, meaning the UK leaving the EU… for definitions of leaving that involve various legalese bullshit scribbles on paper.

And throughout it all we have a bunch of independent actors, and because we do not have a central command government like the chinese, who just say fuck it, we are going to build the three gorges hydro dam and you million peasants can move or drown, and we get to generate enough renewable electricity for greater london in one go, so you can independent act all you want buddy, so long as you always keep your toes behind this line and sing the company tune.

Independent actors have always been the bane of my fucking life, and I hate the cunts more than anything else for one simple reason, when they push you, if you push back hard, as you should, the slimy little cunts always slide back behind the shield of whatever corporate group they inhabit, suddenly you are no longer just telling some worthless asshole to take a fucking hike, the cunt suddenly becomes a police officer again, even though he was not one 30 second ago when he told you something that was not in fact legal… or the cunt suddenly becomes a lawyer again, or a bailiff again, or a council employee again, or a head teacher again, or whatever…

And that is the *real* fucking problem with independent actors, they aren’t actually independent actors full time, the cunts *never* have the balls to stand on their own 2 feet 24/7 and stand by their own words and deeds 24/365…

It’s like the small bike spares business and the small bike MOT business I mentioned a couple of days ago, they have to stand by what they say and do, no way out of it, no corporate skirts to hide behind.

Every fucking time, without exception, that I get a fucking problem in life it is because of an independent actor that wants to have their fucking cake and eat it, and when they choose to be they can be the big independent powerful do as I fucking say honcho, and when you push back the cunts hide behind the corporate skirts and re-write everything as me having a problem with authority.

I don’t. Put me in a tree sitting 30 feet above a bunch of hungry lions and I do not have any problem with authority at all, it is what it is, I may as well sit here for 36 hours until they get bored and go somewhere else to eat.

I have a problem with weak spineless little cunts who hide behind corporate skirts and resort to bullying tactics because the corporation is bigger than any individual and so the individual will always lose, and look at me, I’m on the inside so you better do what I say or things will go bad for you.

Go fuck yourself.

It doesn’t matter a damn whether we stay in the EU or get out, whether we let in rapefugees or don’t, whether the bankers do QE99 or don’t, whether we vote for Trump or Fritzl, it’s human nauture and culture at large that is dooming us, because that is what nature is in general and human nature is in particular.

People will take the easy path every time, it doesn’t matter if the whole herd marches off a cliff to its own doom, people will continue to take that easy path until it no longer becomes the easy path.

And *that* is what should fucking worry you, because by definition we are talking about and end to the land of milk and honey, where easy is no longer a viable survival strategy, where 95% of the population have to learn or adapt to something they have literally never known before, and between here and there there will be many many many easy paths to a quick end, but hell, they are the easy paths so they are preferable to all the other paths.

It all boils down to human nature, and I am a prime example, there are any number of things that I take the easy path in, by nature I am a fucking lazy cunt… I can achieve a lot, if motivated, but the motivation is what is often lacking.

I may have some personal discipline in some areas, but in others, not so much, so it is all very well to big myself up as not being one of the so called independent actors who hides behind the corporate skirts as soon as someone pushes back, but there are shades in there of saying that guy who mudered and ate 27 people last year was really good to his mum and a kind and considerate son, both things can be true simultaneously…

Just because I myself have no taste for the life of the independent actor hiding behind the corporate skirts, it does not mean that they and I both take the easy path, and the rest is just down to individuality.

Take away individuality and what you have left is social pressure, not freedom of choice, you have a new easy path that is very different to the easy path of old, very different indeed.

It’s easy to hate the Mac guys because you’re an AppleII guy, it’s easy to hate the AppleII guys because you’re a Mac guy, it’s easy to hate the infidels because you are one of the prophet’s chosen, it’s easy to hate the non aryans because you’re aryan, and now we have come down to the lowest common denominator where independent actors hide behind corporate skirts because I have hurt their pwecious feewings, the little darlings…

There is not a lot left, there is not much further that the absurdiam can be reduced, there are not many more splitters that can leave the Popular People’s Front of Judea before you have more divisions than you do individuals.

You get mass psychosis and mass schizophrenia, and that’s basically what we have now, mummies and daddies are fucking in the same houses and sometime in the same room as chiiillldruuuun, what am I supposed to feel, where do I draw the line, how offended am I supposed to be, and at what, precisely?

It’s a mass gaslighting, a mass walking on egshells, no matter what you do or say or think or feel, you are in the wrong somewhere and you have offended someone and you are in the shit with someone…

For my fucking sins, I trawled fuckbook yesterday, her indoors has an account which it must be said has zero personal photos and an average of 3 posts a year, and is mainly used to keep in touch with old friends in far flung areas of the globe…

… but some of her freinds, my god, it’s fucking awful, and so in whatever state I was in, put it down to quitting smoking again, I did that terrible thing, I did some online stalking, I typed in the name of my own personal psycho skank ho ex…

… I really do not know what I was expecting to see, but I know what I did see, and it quite probably says more about me than about her, in that my reactions to what I did see were very telling.

No pictures of the kids, gladness in my heart that the boys aren’t on fuckbook facial recognition before they are old enough to drink, gladness that there aren’t any photos of them to cause me pain, photos of the latest dogs, same as the old ones, and of course inspirational photos all about the usual shit psycho wimminz post inspirational photos about, photos of her “new” man, I dunno how many there were in between, or if she is still fucking around or not, or anything else, but there are a couple of photos of him, and a couple of her, and she looks as crazy as ever, and then a status post… her new man has an agressive smokers cancer.

I’ll be honest with you, I laughed out loud at that, dying of cancer is one way out of involvement with her, poor cunt, though all things considered I preferred mine… I would like to think that being involved with a guy who is dying of lung cancer will bring her unhappiness, but her being her it will just increase her poor widdwe old me perpetual victim shit, so natch on that one.

Still, it gives me one more reason to stay off the smokes, quite apart from the money saved, so fuck it.

Yes, I am a cruel cold heartless nasty bastard, so sue me.

You want to know the *really* interesting thing about that fuckbook search?

You can work out the dates we split and all from this very blog, it’s six years now going on seven, and when the idea came to me to fuckbook search the old skank, I had to sit here for three or four minutes, and I shit you not, this is 100% gospel truth, I had to sit here doing nothing with no distractions, fuckbook page open, cursor in the find friends box, wireless keyboard on my lap, coffee by my side, and think for three or four minutes, what is her first fucking name again????

That, my friends, is a totally unexpected victory by any standards.

Psycho skank ho ex and mother of my absent sons, separated less than seven years ago and I couldn’t even remember the worthless skank’s name.

Up In Smoke

Originally of course it’s the title of the original and best Cheech & Chong film.

But the thing is that it will be reality for many, and I note that the meme for “systemic failure” is spreading apace…

Ongoing / incipient systemic failure was the real reason I quit the day job IT backbone fixin’, as I told everyone who would listen, when I joined this company three years ago, maybe one job every couple of weeks was not fixed on the first visit, nowadays maybe one job every two weeks is fixed on the first visit, the rest require one or more subsequent visits, and it’s doing my fucking head in…. because as the guy who trained me said, when you go on site to fix Cisco issues, you need three things;

1. You need working Cisco kit – so unless the kit on site is *known* to be good you need a spare
2. You need the *correct* IOS for that box and that site / application – each box has several different IOS’s, with different capabilities and licences etc
3. You need the *correct* config for that box and that site.

If you lack any of these three, it’s no go, so when you get sent to a site with no spare box, no info as to the correct IOS, and no idea of the correct config, it’s pretty much a no brainer that you aren’t going to fix it.

You get sent to a site that they know has a dead Cisco box because the indian tech support guys talked to the polish employees and determined that despite being turned on at the wall, there are no LED’s illuminated and a faint smell of magic smoke, so they send you out with a new box and tell you to pull the correct IOS and config from the dead box.

After about the thirteenth attempt at explaining to my office why this is futile, you give up, and go to site anyway, hell, it uses up your day, and you know you will either a/ only be there for 5 minutes, which resets the SLA clock for the customer… fnaar fnaar, or you’ll be there hours, while someone tries to find an old file copy of the config to send to you, and you can start with a base IOS and see of that has enough bells and whistles to run the config…

Meanwhile over on the Harley tech forums there is a thread all about carburettors vs electronic fuel injection, it all falls on deaf ears when I try to explain that I have a 1981 Yamaha v twin with electronic ignition, and despite Yamaha still being in business, the CDI module is obsolete, so I have had to try to find an aftermarket custom job that will work, and that is still and watch this space work in progress, and so far I have spent 300 quid buying bits to replace a 30 year old bit of auto electronics, and 30 quid for a rebuild kit for he 30 year old Hitachi carbs fitted to the bitch.

That would be why yours truly here (95 year old mum as well) is sitting on a 2002 bike retrofitted with a 1990’s carburettor, I just sold they Holley 2 bbl for £125 to some guy up north who is going to replace the CV40 on his 80″ evo lump, not if he has any sense, if he has any sense it will sit on a shelf for 9 months before he himself will attempt to sell it on.

Because even when it comes to purely mechanical things like carburettors, some are technically superior to others, and the original Harley branded Kelhin CV carb is a case in point.

It is a thoroughly excellent carb from a technical viewpoint, whilst also being a remarkably simple and elegant carb from a purely mechanical viewpoint, constant velocity carbs may not do *some* things quite as well as say a direct cable operated Mikuni HSR42 flat slide job, but they do do *every* thing very well indeed.

I’m now carb limited to about 100 BHP, which is *considerably* down from the 124 BHP / 129 ft/lb torque that the Holley 2bbl produced, but the bitch is docile in traffic, starts and idles better, gives better MPG and just yesterday ran up to 95 mph and still had fairly impressive “go” when I twisted the throttle wider, and really, if I want significantly more power than that why not go out and buy a Hayabusa… I could probably buy two very good used ones in exchange for the tractor… lol

Then we will get into discussions about the failings of the HD twin cam motor (2000 ish to present, so it’s due retirement) but I’ve been around long enough and I have literally never heard of a single make or model of motorcycle (or anything else) that you could not sit on for 5 minutes before someone would walk up and tell you all about the known weak points with that particular make and model.

Hell, I’m guilty of it myself, carbs fell off the CX500, wings has water pump problems, Honda 500 single had a weak cylinder head, and I haven’t even started on the single make from a single era, and everyone knows everyone who has suffered from these failings.

And nobody talks about the guys who did 350,000 miles before even pulling the heads off.

Hell, I myself am probably responsible for many of the tales of woe regarding late 70’s and early mid 80’s jap fours, simply because literally all I ever did was put petrol in them and thrash the living shit out of them… I honestly do not recall ever doing an oil or filter change… sure, I was much better when it came to BSA iron, but then that shit was already 20 years old by then and needed a bit of TLC.

But every time I found a bike with fucked up carburation and an owner who spent the next 3 years fucking with it before buying a brand new and different set of carbs to miraculously fix the problem, because returning the fitted carbs to factory new spec was a waste of time, after all, they are what is already on the bike, and it’s running like a piece of shit innit… I did at least find someone who did eventually fix the problem, as in make it go away until sufficient years and miles had passed on the new carbs to make them as bad as the pice of shit old carbs.

But with carbs at least you do not get a systemic failure, with EFI, or with CDI as I found to my cost with the 1981 Yam, when it goes wrong and when it is old / obsolete as well, well, you have big problems buddy.

There are all sorts of sane sensible and normal and expected reasons why a dead battery will equal no electrical spark to the spark plugs and no ignition of the fuel air mixture and no running vehicle.

To be sure, there are ways around that, everything from running magnetos to trail bike BSA singles with a zener diode to dump excess power from the charging circuit and no battery.

But it’s not quite so easy to explain away (remember, we are talking motorcycles, so the fuel tank is above the engine (unless it’s a gold wing etc) so simple gravity will get fuel *down* to the engine, and simple air flow over a venturi will atomise that fuel, and simply piston down stroke with inlet valve open will produce said air flow, so it is not quite so sane and sensible and expected to explain why a dead battery will stop fuel from getting into the engine.

Of course the EFI advocated will state, quite correctly, that the dead battery preventing fuel from getting to the motor isn’t really an issue, as the dead battery also means you don’t have a spark to ignite that fuel.

It’s a valid point, and not a million miles away from the earlier one in the seventies and eighties when the kickstarter went away to be replaced with the electric foot, if there is no power to run the starter there is no power for the spark.

Except, there were cases where a dying battery would provide enough oomph to give you a spark, if you bump started it, and then the alternator from the running engine would take over.

So what really happened was was counted as a “good enough” battery got tightened up considerably, and this happened again with CDI systems that had a cut off voltage below which they simply refused to even thing about running, and it has happened again with EFI, and all the other now standard electrical parasitic loads on the charging system and battery, to the point where what would be considered a dead battery in a 2015 harley would run a 1955 Harley for a few years, so bike batteries are no longer cheap items that you don’t worry about too much, just so long as they hold some sort of charge… hell, my old 1961 BSA A10 with Lucas K2F magneto and a dynamo, I know it *had* a battery, but I don’t believe I ever even *looked* at it, much less put a voltmeter on it to check how much charge it was holding, whereas modern bike and car owners are fitting new batteries every three years of necessity, even though the capacity of what is being fitted as standard now is ludicrously huge compared to what would have been considered standard 40 years ago.

This then is a rough and ready definition of systemic failure, I used to ride motorcycles where all sorts of individual systems could play up, cease working altogether or even literally fall off the bike, and the bike still ran well enough to get me home.

Now a days there are so many interconnected and interdependent systems that you can effectively be fine one minute or one hour or one day, and the next, nothing.

Hell, my current ride I carry around a little fob with a CR2032 coin cell in it, you really do not want to know how many HD riders get stuck in a gas station, because they pulled in for gas, and when they went to start up again they find the last gasp of the coin cell went on disabling the security so the bike would start 70 miles away back home earlier in the day.

Hell, I even know of guys who have had the whole bike towed to the stealership thinking there was a problem with the ECU or something, not even considering it was the coin cell in the fob… nowadays I have to carry two fobs, just in case one dies, and change the coin cells in both each year, just because the three year recommended replacement period is only OK if everything is optimal, and real life isn’t optimal, and the costs of that coin cell not doing its thing…

In the aforementioned thread on the harley tech forums, there are guys raving about EFI, they say it’s great, they do not even have to get their hands grease, just pick up at laptop and push a new map to the EFI module.

No more “can I borrow a screwdriver please mate” but can I borrow a laptop, oh, can you tether your phone so I have 3G access, oh, can I install some software on here, oh, I have my licence key somewhere, oh, amazon cloud isn’t responding and I can’t get my default map for the EFI, without which all that fancy electronics is just a paperweight.

On monday my lease car is going back, it isn’t being replaced, it is a 2013 1.6 golf bluemotion diesel, it has 70k miles on the clock, and it has been repaired at least 4 times, and each repair was one of the many very expensive ECU’s scattered around the car.

If it rains and the windows are open a smidge, because there are no gutters the rain falls down inside the door where all the handles and switches are, and since those switches no longer switch anything except microcurrents, they just talk to an ECU somewhere that talks to some relays somewhere that actually turn the current to the electric windows on and off, the passenger side window randomly goes down all by itself.. THIS HAS ALREADY BEEN FIXED ONCE, £500 for a new ECU, and then flash the main one to tell it to talk to the new sub one that runs the windows.

Meanwhile the common rail high pressure diesel injection system is playing up, it is not sounding happy or healthy, and despite it being a new car with less than 3 years of age, the diesel in my old 300D merc, which was all mechanical with an all mechanical in line injection pump, despite being 20 + years old, sounded as smooth as a 9 year old girl’s cunt, meanwhile the bluemotion sounds like 47 year old miss gang bang runner up of 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 etc.

Systemic failure.

“Just in time” logistics… systemic failure

Monetary policy – systemic failure

Immigration policy – systemic failure

Hell, if we look at the whole wimminz thing, pre systemic failure if your woman was giving you grief, you swapped it out for another model, problem solved.

In systemic failure swapping your wimminz out for another one does not eliminate the problem, you have to eliminate the feminazi state and society.

In my new day job with the laser business, in which I am unique, as I was in the computer business before that, because I published my prices right there on the website, and I mean actual billing prices, not loss leader invitation to treat special offer but nobody ever actually gets to pay this little prices, I have just been told by a colleague in the same trade that a potential customer spoke to him, told him he knew of me, and I was “too expensive” because I publish my per minute and per hour of laser machine time rates.

I told the colleague fuck the potential customer, if my rates scared them away, then good riddance.

Hilariously I then got a hold of the spreadsheet used in that area of the signmaking industry to calculate costs, and it all works on letter sizes and how many letters you want, and when I put some number in what do I find, but that my prices are almost spot on 80% of the prices you will get quoted using this industry standard calculation.

Systemic failure, in the case an industry having people who do buying who cannot do basic math, or who cannot get three actual quotes from three different suppliers and compare apples to apples, instead they compare apples to oranges ( a per minute machine time billing regime vs a per item piecework billing regime) and choose oranges every time, and then wonder why one day they go bust.

My mum (you knew eventually there would be a reason to mention her way up there) has a large 5 foot tropical fish tank, recently she bought 6 fish from a local shop, 4 of them died in a week, and at least 12 other fish died too, we are currently treating the water with a fungicide, problem was the shop didn’t isolate and monitor the fish for a week before selling them, in on day and sold to my mum the next, complete with the fungal infection they arrived with.

In the local rag there is an article about this very shop, they are closing, and the owners blame the anti social behaviour of the drunks and homeless who hang out outside (I have never personally seen one outside the shop in question, though many of them do hang around that area of town as there are drop out centres there) and the cost of business rates and the problems of location not being quite on the high street and the economy in general.

The fact that they sell my mum £20 worth of fish which die and then kill £100 worth of fish, plus we have to go out and but £10 worth of water treatment and so on, doesn’t appear on the radar, and that again is systemic failure.

It’s systemic because there is no method in place to determine the single cause of failure, and swap out that single part / employee / process, and eliminate any possibility of it recurring.

The branch (one of three) will close, 3 staff will lose their jobs, another shop in town in boarded up, and everything else will continue as normal, the fish supplier will continue, the owners will continue, the other two outlets will continue, until one day the whole lot goes to the wall.

Meanwhile there is no room for an independent to start up, because they aren’t known, their pricing structures will be seen as being too expensive (sic) the competition will slag them off, and the beat will continue.

systemic failure does not just mean that Gotham City loses all its tropical fish shops, I have talked elsewhere about stall speed, as stall speed + 1 knot the aircraft is flying, at stall speed – 1 knot the aircraft is falling like a brick.

systemic failure and stall speed are two sides of the same coin, so you find that in early 2015 out of the 74 shops on the high street, 2 are boarded up, and in late 216 out of the 74 shops on the high street, 38 are boarded up, and at that point NOBODY but betting shops and indian takeaways and pawn shops will even consider moving in.

Game over man.

Lots of people talk about a great reset.

Just who the fuck is going to be doing this resetting?

It will NOT be the ork rapefugee immigrants, it won’t be the bankers who fuelled the crash and burn credit boom, it won’t be the multicorp walmarts who just shut up shop the first day the management models says the shop is not making a sufficient profit.

It isn’t going to be the next big thing internet startup of mobile raspberry pi dildo shop, nor will it be empowered skanky wimminz cup cake shops and nail salons.

It will be daft cunts like me who went without shit to save up cash and buy tools and equipment to set up as entrepreneurs and small businessmen.

And many of you will tell us we are too fucking expensive, well guess what buddy, YOUR ability to make a profit is none of my business or my concern, MINE is, so if you do not want to pay me what I want, I’ll be out on that bike enjoying myself, in preference to working for a cunt like you for nothing and perpetuating the systemic failure I see all around me.

Externalise that motherfucker.

What a bunch of cunts

With a tagline like that, I could be talking about pretty much anything…

So my erstwhile employer, the channel partner in UK tech responsible for providing the actual techs who turn up to business internet sites and say Hi, I’m Steve from Talk talk / BT / Virgin / Serco / et al, I’m beginning to think I jumped ship just in time, before they hit the wall.

We used to have samsung work phones on the EE network, far from being Everything Everywhere, I used to joke that actual coverage was nothing nowhere, so I’d been off work prior to handing in my notice, using up accrued sick and holiday pay, and in periodic discussion with my line manager had mentioned several times about issues with the phone not being registered on the network.

In one of those crystal clear with the benefit of 20/20 hindsight issues, some six weeks later I realised that the issue with the crossed wires between myself and my line manager is I’m talking about the old phone, a samsung note 3 on EE, and he is talking about the new phone, which I believe was a samsung note 4 on vodafart, I say I believe because I never got the new phone, nor did I get a missive from HR informing of these details, what the company was changing to, and why (even cheaper than EE presumably)

So eventually I am told I signed for the bastard one day in early December 2015, but I’m told this late Feb 2016, and it is fucking news to me, plus, the scribble provided by the courier looks nothing like my sig, plus, google location history has me leaving the house 15 minutes before the fucking phone was signed for, so to cut a long story short the fucked company states that they intend to deduct the cost of the phone from my severance, and I have told them that if they do that, I will see the cunts in court.

And I’m sitting here thinking I left the company just in time, because in other news I was in court last week, I took Npower to court, because basically I am saying I have paid all my utility bills for the past 4 years in the place, here are all the payments, here is what they add up to (some £1,500 per year, which is fair enough for a single guy living alone) and here is Npower demanding over 2k in back electricity, with no proof to back it up, just final demands and debt collector letters… this being the german owned Npower who got fined 36 million last year for fucked up billing, this being the Npower who just announced making 2,500 of their 8,000 staff redundant, so the beak tells Npower in very strongly worded terms to fuck off and recalculate my bills, and in the interim stop hassling me via debt collectors, and awards me the costs in the case against Npower.

Npower is clearly a fucked company, and by the same token so is my former employer, and I say that because of the way they are acting, things fall apart at the seams, nobody seems to be in charge, nobody seems to take personal responsibility, and their only answer to anything is to externalise all costs and responsibilities, our fucking useless ex employee can pay for the fucking missing phone.

This despite the fact that I have handled hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of kit in the three years I have been with them, never even stolen so much as a biro, never massaged my mileage or hours, and never even claimed all the hours or expenses or allowances that I was entitled to… when push comes to shove, despite repeated statements from myself that I never saw the fucking new phone and can prove I was not even there at the time it was allegedly signed for, and no evidence apart from the couriers dodgy signature (hell, the wankers did not even query that in the six weeks since the phone was shipped I had never registered it on the network, made a call, logged on to my wifi and enabled the company exchange access, etc etc etc) none of which is good enough to stand up in court, no, all they know is they are out a 500 quid phone and some cunt is going to pay and that cunt is going to be me… not this fucking white boy.

I’m gonna contrast this with two small local firms, one is a motorcycle mechanic and mot centre, the other does m/c spares, so I take the bike in for an MOT and it fails on a dented front wheel rim, which I knew about but thought I would take a chance.

HD want north of 550 quid, and wait two plus weeks for a wheel to be shipped from the states, go fuck yourself, the m/c spares guy says he has three wheels that should be suitable, how about he drops them off at the bike shop so we can let the dog see the rabbit, he can do that tomorrow on the way to drop the kids off to school, and if any of these brand new wheels are any good, call it 150 cash.

So yesterday he dropped them off, and one is perfect, so I ask the mechanic how much to swap the wheel over (remove old, remove tyre and tube, remove brake disk, replace and reassemble) and no the rear reflector and headlight adjustment needed for the MOT, 56 quid he says, so I’ll be down later today with 150 notes in cash for the spares guy and 60 notes in cash for the mechanic.

Now *that* is the way to do business and stay in business, not the fucked comms company and fucked Npower way.

Both of these guys are going to get more of my business, and both of these guys are going to get my recommend.

Npower and my former fucked company can go fuck themselves and employ a few thousand rapefugees before they hit the wall, but, therein lies a tale of caution, her indoors doesn’t get what will really happen.

What will really happen is when Npower hit the wall and get wound up, someone else will step in and buy the company, debts and all, and then they will start pursuing these, debts, and unlike Npower they wil have zero access to the historical billing and correspondence processes, so it will be you owe us fucking money, fucking pay up or the fucking bailiffs go in, so unles syou are like me and have evidence that you took Npower to court and the beak awarded costs to me against Npower and told them to go away and do their sums again, you’re fucked…. because the new company will have the perfect excuse for not being able to produce the billing, but, being a respectable company in the city, they will have the credibility in the court room, Joe Public will not, case found for Npower, send in the bailiffs and take all that peon’s shit.

It is for these and other reasons that I know we are headed for a financial shitstorm, as soon as the masses start to use any given gate to get away from X, said gate will be closed and only the early adopters will run, everyone else will be kept in the net.

Now the swedes are openly discussing the end of cash in 5 years, which, to put it another way, is the end of the individual’s ability to find a bike parts guy who will sell him a wheel for 150, to find a mechanic who will fit it for 60, to find a hole in the wall machine to draw the cash to do the above, what you will have instead is a state sanctioned and big brother controlled ID card, that holds a balance number that may or may not reflect reality, but about which the only thing that is certain is that the person whose name appears on it will be the one person with no control whatsoever over it.

Just like paypal, Npower mk2 will simply deduct whatever it wants, and if that puts you in the red, incurs unauthorised O/D fees, and prevents other bills from being paid, tough shit.

Similarly after you have left fuckedcompany2, they can do the same thing to you, either not paying in what they should, or clawing back what they should not, and being “trusted” actors, these transactions will be seen in the same light as if you went down to Sainsubury’s and blew 100 quid on vin du pays, eg as a legitimate transaction, and you, you naughty irresponsible little shit, should have read the small print to prevent yourself from going into the red….

No worries if you are a rapefugee or skank ho single mom on state benefits, you’ll get your iphone 7 and a bunch of provided at source state handouts and a regular deposit into your account from the state, so you got no worries, no sireee. Npower2 or fuckedcompany2 can’t fuck you up, only the erstwhile former working man gets the shaft.

2016 is going to be a real interesting year.

Culture and Class

My local news outlets do pretty much nothing but act as mouthpieces for the incumbents of the day, Cameron, Obama, etc all the way through bankers and financiers and health chiefs and so on.

It doesn’t matter what it is, there will be a clip of Obama talking about it, but there is never never ever ever ever ever ever a clip of someone from the opposing camp talking about it….  run a clip of Putin, fuck that komrade, he’s the boogeyman du jour…

I myself learned this personally in the late seventies, then it was all about the motorcycle helmet laws, and I wrote a letter to the a large daily that was basically comprised of a list of facts, for example helmets were then made of glassfibre, and tests showed that it slid for 6 thousandths of a second on tarmac, before gripping, which has the effect of rapidly rotating the helmet and skull, but not the brain within, whereas skin would just smear off on tarmac, damaging the face/head but protecting the brain, wanna be a live and well and functioning ugly scarred bastard, or a pretty zombie or corpse?

By the time they had done editing my letter, it sounded like I was 100% pro helmet law, when in fact I was 100% pro personal choice, would sometimes wear one, and sometimes not wear one.

That was the day I personally learned that everything you read in the MSM is probably a lie.

On a related note, I’ve just had one of *those* conversations with a wimminz, who has been bathing her daughters, who are still single digit ages but only just, so these Charles Asnavour tank eaven for leedle girls have been playing with themselves, and maybe have thrush as a result.

It’s a thing that every mother of daughters apparently discovers afresh and anew to themselves, some start playing with themselves at 9, some at 10, but all by 11, and this is something they (the little girls) have discovered for themselves, it feels good so they keep doing it and do it more and more.

Now according to the dialogue, this is not possible, because they are children and children cannot be sexual beings unless some creepy older male predator has sexualised them and abused them and raped them, because there girls are 100% pre-pubescent, there are no developing sex hormones coursing through their systems as hips and breasts and ovaries develop, so according to the dialogue, it simple is not possible for them to touch themselves in a sexual manner and enjoy it, all by themselves.

Dialogue is programming, and programming is culture, and modern western culture hold these things to be true, in the 1800’s in literally the same town, these little girls could be married at 12, and it is only culture that has changed, not biology.

Raghead muslim rapefugee orcish culture is just another culture, same as 1800’s England was, same as 1900’s England was, and one thing all cultures have in common is the view that MY culture is civilised and THAT culture are all fucking savages who ought to be exterminated.

I have come to realise that the programming of these cultures is not in fact an outside source at work, it’s not the illuminati or leaders, they are no more than pathetic weak windbags who see which way the wind is blowing and them climb on a bandwagon, no, the programming comes from the culture itself, as a form of ongoing internal dialogue, it is literally the herd at work, and we all to easily forget that humans are herd animals… with *everything* that entails.

It does not matter what my own personal beliefs are about anything that constitutes herd groupthink, or culture, so it doesn’t matter what I secretly think about sexualised 9 year old girls, all that matters is the herd culture du jour and du locale, and for me that culture says it doesn’t exist and if it does some predatory male rapist is behind it, so that culture mandates that I am automatically guilty, which in turn mandates that I am always able to prove, 24/365, and I mean PROVE, not claim, that I have never ever ever been alone with any of these self sexualised mini skank ho’s, because I will get the blame.

In the same way that the MSM never airs the views of they boogeyman du jour, you’ll never see the BBC or Daily Fail or Bilt run a piece about the autosexualisation of pre pubescent minors simply because all those “toys” are literally at arms length and they do it because it feels good.

If you *really* want to fuck with these people’s heads, ask one of these mommies, when they discover that their own 9 year old pre pubescent mini skank ho is pleasuring herself, why they think it is that our culture makes this one of the very very very few things that it is abso-fucking-lutely VERBOTEN to teach them to do better….

I defy you to think of anything else that fits this category, literally everything else our children do and discover for themselves, we are classed as being a “good” parent or aunt or uncle or brother or neighbour or teacher, if we teach them all about it and how to do it better.

Teach them how to play with themselves, clitoral vs vaginal pleasures, erectile tissue, circumcision (good) vs female circumcision (bad, relabelled female genital mutilation) and so on, nah, you’re a fucking sick paedo predator.

Said 9 year old, by the way, just for perspective, and this is factual, gets lessons in school about the 27 different “genders” and which one they might identify with, they get lessons on sexual reproduction an diseases and contraception, and are shown how to apply a condom to a banana, and of course many of these lessons are “sponsored” by commercial companies making products like lil-lets and tampax tampons and sanitary towels, and of course the little shits all have ipads and smartphones and are one click away from porntube, which they all know about…

And so we have a different culture within a culture, the muslims in Rotherham grooming and gang raping the little skanks from the age of 11 on up, hey it’s all the rage in the new now but I can remember girls from most of these midlands cities in the early 1980’s, which is 30+ yaers ago now, telling me all about the paki guys grooming and gangbanging the white girls in exchange for presents and money and shit, because to these muslim guys these little white skank ho’s are nothing more than trash to be used and discarded, that is their culture.

Frankly our new western culture is no better, that doesn’t mean I welcome our new rapefugee sharia overlords, I see what is and see it for what it is, our new western culture is no longer about engineering and innovation and progress and development, so it is as fucked and retarded and backward as the current islamic culture, which again has almost nothing on common with the ancient islamic cultures that treasured knowledge and learning and science and exploration, in fact there are direct parallels between the collapse of western culture and the collapse of ancient cultures, including islam.

Which is why the white power aryan brotherhood shit holds no attractions for me, it is just as primitive and corrupt and festering in its own filth, there is nothing in there about technological development and engineering development and progress, they all want to GO BACK TO insert message du jour here…

By definition, all these festering cancerous cultures are holding us back, anyone who tried would be pulled down as an elitist white bastard… how dare you try to improve yourself.

Some years ago Bruce Perens started a little online community, of which I was a very early invited member, all membership was invite only, and it was based around the concept of a technocracy, but again terms and meanings are changed to suit, it was not a meritocracy, or social engineering, or a way to cure all the world’s ills and manage the great unwashed masses, it was exactly what it said, a technocracy, to paraphrase Sagan as I have done many times in the past, we have built a society based upon engineering and technology, in which the people understand nothing about science and technology, what could possibly go wrong.

I do not know why Bruce pulled the plug on that little experiment, due to geographical differences I did not know the guy personally in the flesh, but I suspect that he realised that it could do not good in our current culture, all it would do is furnish a ready supply of scientific types to be burned at the stake, our culture would not permit anything different.

The company I just quit working for, the company who sends guys like me out to implement and maintain and support our network infrastructure, and all our clients were the high street businesses and ISP’s and so on, was itself the very opposite of a technocracy, the competent who took pride in their work were sidelined by those dweebs building little fiefdoms, I can’t get a hot slut for a girlfriend but I sure as hell can hold on to the reins of the local linux user group, or split it into the hurd user group, or run my own little department at work…. and those chasing the mighty dollar and keynsian economics where we can outsource everything technical to mumbai and get apprentices on UK£14k a year with company car, mobile phone and laptop to tether with and send them on to site so the mumbai guys can remote in to broken cisco gear and fix it…

Everything has become a race to the bottom, and there is no good end in sight, and this sadly is what passes for modern western culture.

In many ways the rapefugees are right to dismiss western culture with disdain and disgust and gang bang our 11 year old girls, they get less shit for fucking our 11 year old girls than we get for fucking them ourselves, and you can substitute anything you like for fucking 11 year old girls, because culture in this case means the same as culture meant in the middle ages, when the holy roman church would kill anyone who suggested that the earth went around the sun and that there were no celestial spheres, and that dinosaurs came before men, and so on and so forth.

WE / I learned in school to treat the middle ages culture with contempt, because it dismissed science and fact, and yet I now live in a world that dismisses science and fact, and which dresses up that which is not science as being science.

I now live in a world where quite frankly I am taking a real risk, in the psuedo-anonymity of a blog, to ask questions such as the one I asked above, why is it that the only thing we cannot teach a 9 year old girl to do better is to play with herself.

I now live in a world where Harriet Harman is shadow secretary of state for media, CULTURE and sport, and the Daily Fail runs articles about a guy who was in PIE (Paedophile Information Exchange) in the 70’s, and neglects to mention that Harman (amongst others) had strong ties to PIE in the 70’s

Remember that bit above about pathetic weak windbags who see which way the wind is blowing and climb on the bandwagon, that is what our so called leaders are, there is no illuminati, just the closed loop positive feedback group/herd think we call culture, and those who see an opportunity to climb on the bandwagon for personal gain.

And the bandwagon du jour?

Well, it’s the 1930’s all over again innit, the wheels are falling off everything and its time for mass death and killing and war, and the same pathetic and weak windbags are climbing on the bandwagon for personal gain, and in 20 years time when all the (possibly radioactive) dust has blown over, we will still have 9 year old pre-pubescent girls pleasuring themselves simply because it feels good, and a new set of cultures, and a new set of pathetic and weak windbags climbing on new bandwagons for personal gain.

Meanwhile, every now and again Harley brings out a new engine, which is a lot like the old engine, Knuckle ran for 11 years.  The Pan 17 years.  The Shovel 18 years. The Evo 14 years, now the Twin Cam has been going for 16 years, welcome to the new Boss, same as the old Boss, but different.

I cannot control my urges.

It’s a thing I have long said to wimminz, I am human, I accept that it is possible that circumstances conspire, and one night after imbibing some alcohol, you find yourself fucking someone when you should not have been… what usually happens is post fuck the body’s hormones reset and then you wonder why you did it… regret is perhaps the word, not because the thing itself was all that bad, but because the potential consequences outweigh the benefits, which are all in the rear view mirror.

It’s much the same thing as hooning along the road enjoying yourself, and flash/flash you have just been caught by a speed camera, at no point were you either unaware of the speed limit or the consequences for exceeding it, you were just living in the moment.

So I *accept* that it is possible that while you are in a relationship with me, and spending some time away, things can happen and you end up fucking someone else, and *if* you immediately admit that it happened to me, and *if* you accept that obviously there are going to be some sorts of consequences, then *possibly* there is a way forwards for us.. *possibly*.. it is not at all certain.

If you do *not* immediately confess, *and* accept that there are going to be changes, *and* accept that there are no guarantees that this is going to get fixed even if you do bust your ass for five years to fix it, then what *is* certain is that it is over, sayonara skanky.

I apply this rule because it is how *I* would expect to be treated, but it is a truism of modern society that this rather elastic and forgiving and accepting of human nature (living in the moment) attitude still ain’t good enough, no consequences are acceptable, OK I did something I perhaps should not have, but it ends there, don’t expect a sorry or a promise not to do it again, and don’t even think about giving me a hard time or treating me differently in the future.

I have and hold and apply this rule because the basic principle is;

1/ accept that people are human and therefore flawed and must often make mistakes to learn the error of their ways.

2/ accept that if you do not offer that person *some* hope of redemption, not withstanding the price may be very high, then they have not motive to ever change.

I was watching some vids with the current squeeze, and in them there are some dogs (4 legged variety) that are rolling on their backs and whining gently, this is not play, please scratch my belly, this is submission, showing the soft and unprotected belly to the dominant one… she did not know this.

I explained that you *can* punish a dog in that state, you *can* strike it, ONCE, and not too hard, enough to make a point, not enough to hurt.

If, however, you want to make a vicious dog that will never back down no matter how injured it gets, just keep on beating it when it does the submission thing, eventually it will learn that there is no point in submitting.

The point here is even dogs KNOW WHEN THEY HAVE DONE WRONG, so it is futile to suggest that *any* human, even a small child or a grown female, does NOT know, they do… they just do not want to accept the consequences.

Maybe the first time they instinctively rolled over someone went all gooey eyed and started bubbling about what soft fur they had on their belly and started rewarding and praising them.

I don’t know, I don’t care, I only know I have no use for such an animal, especially since *I* will not be able to discipline it, because all the animal rights activists will report me for animal cruelty.

I’ll get punished, the animal will get rewarded, and the beat will go on.

So far the current squeeze has been the current squeeze for just over a year, she has achieved that by basically never putting a foot wrong, which she has achieved by basically making a sustained effort every day to do everything right and behave appropriately.

While this doesn’t mean that I suddenly accept that NAWALT (not all lottery tickets are losing tickets, and what are the chances of me finding a winning ticket…lol) it does mean that I have to see and accept one year of sustained effort with not one single foot put wrong as having some value.

Sure, she could decide tomorrow that all that effort is too much effort, and stop playing the game overnight, past performance is no guide to future expectations and all that, but on the other hand, past performance *is* a good indicator, and this one I do know her previous history, all of it, and it is all local, it would be really hard to conceal any skeletons in the gaps, and they would have to be rather small skeletons at that.

So as opposed to finding a stray in the street and it following you home, I have rehomed a dog that had one previous home and one birth home when it was a new born puppy, and I know both owners now, so it’s a much better bet, as long as I do not ever forget the nature of the beast that I have given a home.

Which brings me to reader Hans, who is a bloody German, you know, those people that my ancestors fought two world wars with, and those people who also form a part of my own ancestry and genetic heritage, those people who I actually have an awful lot in common with, culturally, historically, and so on… we may not be brothers but we are certainly cousins and most definitely family.

Hans talks about the Orks, meaning the rapefugees of course, that Merkel et al is so determined to import en masse and dilute and divide the family.

I can remember literally decades ago, reading a piece by an editorial author who went by the name of Spider in the long since FUBAR Easyriders magazine, discussing the then new Falkland/Malvinas was, asking what the fuck the latino Argies were thinking, after all, as spider put it, the English had been clanking swords with other races all across the globe for a thousand years, that is how they got their Empire.

Thanks to the English Channel, it was Hans’s ancestry (and mine akshully) who tore apart the remnants of the fading Roman Empire, and it wasn’t individual military Einsteins in charge of hordes of mindless cannon fodder, it was hordes of groups of individuals working to a common cause and united under yet more hordes of chieftains.

The sheepdogs of the Roman Empire reverted to being Foxes, as soon as the Empire declined and lost its hold.

European history, and this is a point worth hammering home with a two by four into the heads of Americans and Canadians and Australians and so on, yeah, like me you may share common stock with these guys of old, unlike me you did not grow up and live in these lands of old, and that is CRUCIAL, because European history is replete with cases of ethnic cleansing, and I mean REAL ethnic cleansing, not the fairly mild shit that Adolf did back in the 40’s, I mean you fucked an ork once, you worked for an orc once, you fed an ork once, that was enough to taint you with orcishness, and see your life ended… hell, it was enough for your immediate family to be put to the sword too.

And it isn’t difficult, like telling Democrats from Republicans, shoppers in a mall from drug dealers in a mall, the guy who got a speeding ticket last year from the guy who didn’t.

I can claim to be anything I like on here, Hans can claim to be anything he likes on here, I can send him a picture of me, face on, but cropped so all you see is the outside edge of my eye, ear, cheekbones, jaw line and maybe the edge of my mouth, and he can know for a fact whether I am what I claim to be, family, or ork.

That’s a “white” name, but one look at the face and I can see jewish heritage..

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3458086/British-extremist-grandson-trombonist-Specials.html

This guy is even easier to classify as “not family”

And that is what it comes down to when things like this hit the wire in history, “like me” and “not like me” a simple visual categorisation that can be done at 30 paces in poor light by someone with a room temperature IQ, and I don’t put that comment in to say that racists are people with room temperature IQ’s, I’m making the point that it is a *trivially* easy categorisation to make.

I was speaking to someone recently, and they (note the lack of any identifiers, even sex) told me, under the promise of anonymity, that they work in the burgeoning area of computer software that deals with facial recognition.

Now, while the stated goals and funding is all about spotting Freddy Kruger at the Superbowl, like all engineering challenges, they are finding a lot of unexpected results along the path to the stated goal.

One way to sort in software through 10,000 images an hour, looking for one Freddy Kruger, FBI most wanted, is to simplify the early stages of the search using simple and fast tests, and reserving the complex analysis for the later stages, eg whittle out the 9,500 who cannot possibly be Freddy, and only use the complex computational analysis on the remaining 500, this allowing you to have the computational power to do it in real time, not 72 hours later, 7 hours after the sarin bomb went off.

So you’ll look for early simple and fast whittling, and it turns out that separating all the females from all the male faces, is not quite as easy as you might thing, you get quite a few false positives and false negatives, so it’s not very good, you could easily end up discarding the image of Freddy in a woman’s wig..

Turns out however, that whittling the number down by race is trivial, with almost no false positives or negatives, and by definition (Freddy being white) any algorithm that can discard all the non whites in a search for Freddy, can just as easily discard all the whites when looking for Ahmed the raghead.

But wait, apparently it gets even better, the software is also very good at telling Jews from Aryans, Ukrainians from French, and even Irish from English.

Apparently it even gets better than that, some things it can identify with almost 100% accuracy, we are talking five nines here, for example, I wear spectacles, a frame supplied by specsavers, made in Italy, but a frame that is only available through Specsavers, so any facial recognition picture of me is one database search (specsavers customer database) away from making a positive ID match.

I commented to this person, that presumably all the hoo haa about racial profiling means that these sorts of categorisations are being ignored as not politically correct.

They were silent for a moment, then explained, software is software is software, and in the software world what usually denominates product X at 99 bucks from product X super pro advanced at 399 bucks ( and product x stasi mainframe version at eeeek bucks) is what is enabled and disabled in the software, it’s all the same shit, just some of it is cut down, so calls are made to a subroutine that is either disabled or simply not present / linked in the lite version.

The stasi version is dll complete, as it were.

So, they were running some tests against known file photo sets, you know the sort of thing, here is a pro immigration rally, here is a pegida rally, here is a greenies rally, here is the current EU members of parliament list, and so on…. then some known file sets with some of the people in the former sets, but included in random sets of people, say at a train station or airport or bus terminal.

The idea being to determine who are the far right whites and troublemakers amongst the mainly peaceful and docile white voting masses, you know the police state wants this sort of quick sort / classification ability.

And the law of unintended and unexpected consequences reared its ugly head, the ability of the software to classify racial and ethnic heritage intruded into the attempt to classify political and indeed religious traits, to such an extent that (to use the terms I started with above regarding Hans and myself and our common ancestry) the pegida rally was full of people I would call family and cousins, and the pro-immigration rally was full of people I would not call family and cousins, and then there were the orks.

They (the software team) had apparently spent the last six months trying to fix this “bug” and no matter what they did, they ended up with garbage results, that in some cases produces worse results than randomisation, before coming to the conclusion that the “bug” was not a bug at all, the various algorithms were working correctly and as intended, it was just that the net result of all these different algorithms working together gave an answer that nobody wanted, it wasn’t a question of whether or not the answer was correct, nobody wanted it.

excluding everyone who was not my family or cousins from the ranks of potential extremist pegida (insert chosen group here, I chose pegida simply for narrative purposes) members isn’t a desired answer to the question, how can we identify likely / possible extremist pegida members…

As this guy said, it would be interesting to grab an OCP ED-209, and load it with this software… and see what happens.

“I’m sure it’s only a glitch, a temporary setback” lol

 

Apple vs FBI

Well we do know you can copy anything, if you have physical access to hardware, and we do know apple bakes in a unique 256 bit key into every cpu, and we do know that all the other hardware has to be digitally signed by apple to work together, and we do know that appled can sign code with their own master key that any phone will accept as original and legit.

It doesn’t meave many possibilities.

1/ The FBI can’t crack the phone, but the NSA can, and they aren’t saying anything or sharing anything with the FBI.

2/ The FBI has a device that will brute force the passkey, provided the ten tries and you are either out, or no more tries for 1 hour, device is desabled.

3/ Apple is not stating that what the FBI wants is *technically* impossible, therefore it is technically possible.

4/ The FBI can write the code it needs to break the device, it just lacks the apple master key signing bit, can apple please digitally sign the FBI code as authentic apple code so the phone will accept it…

5/ Nobody who is silent, eg NSA CIA et al, eg everyone except apple and the FBI, has the ability to do this, eg they already have a backdoor or a secret copy of the apple master key.

6/ Many of those who are silent *can* do this, but pretend ignorance to preserve an asset ability.

7/ The FBI is lying, and since apple are not outing the lie, if there is one, the FBI and Apple are in cahoots to bolster apple stock and reputation.

It gets better.

Apple do not ever sell a single device, they basically never have, what they do is licence it’s use to you.

Assuming that it is possible with the newer crapple phones, creating a user encryption key that NOBODY could bypass, not even apple, is effectively making that licence null and void… I’m not talking about bricking the device and still be paying the monthly fees, I’m talking about using the device *exclusively* to create and distribute kiddie porn, and the device works, and *nobody* but the owner can get into it…. fully functioning no backdoor no workaround no fail encryption.

Bear with me here.

 

We now have (in theory) a device that I shall call the Seekrit Skwirrel Safe ™ hereafter referred to by the acronym SSS.

Only the owner of each SSS can open it, no exceptions, not the NSA, FBI, Disney, TSA, Crapple, nobody but the owner can open it.

SSS’s become a huge hit, and some very small number will be used by persons hiding detailed plans on how to fly a space shuttle into the eiffel tower, and some very small number of persons to stash pictures and videos of themselves fucking very small children, but 99.99% of SSS’s will be used by everyone else.

They will hold the duplicate set of books that the tax man doesn’t know about, the details of the boyfriend/gilrfriend/spare property/stocks/bank account that the wife/husband/tax man doesn’t know about, and so on and so forth.

The argument goes, that should anyone, say the FBI, use the information contained in the SSS to convict you, then the cat is out of the bag and everyone will know that the unbreakable encryption of the SSS has a secret big brother back door.

For the feeble minded, sure, this is an argument that will stand all of ten seconds, give me ANY of the scenarios detailed above, let’s say the fact that you, one Fred Smith, owns a lockup in Sadville with a classic 67 vette inside, that your wife Wilma knows nothing about (and maybe the tax man) and I can go from that hard factual data to create a trail off to some other place, that I can then follow back to you, without you ever suspecting that your SSS had a backdoor.

What’s that, gas leak from the lockup next to yours, authorities called, they check the properties either side, follow that lease agrement (or the vehicle licence) back through a bank account to an Aunti Sue who gets a visist who… whatever… you get the picture.

You’ll never suspect that that is all bullshit and the state had the backdoor keys to your SSS, especially since you have that *other* shit in there too….

Meanwhile every paedo / terrist bust is excused by the fact that the swat team just happened to kick down the door while the perp had the virtual door of the SSS left open, no private key needed, and the perp is full of lead now anyway, fucking paedo terrist…

BUT EVEN THAT ISN’T THE KICKER

By definition, since SSS is unbreakable, if the state says Fred Smith’s SSS was full of kiddie porn, then the only person who can say different is someone who has access to Fred Smith’s SSS, which is Fred Smith and anyone Fred Smith was foolish enough, or CONSPIRING WITH, to share his private key with, and I’m lookin at you Joe Brown, you telling me Fred Smith was innocent??? hmm???

My Mistake Officer, says Joe Brown, after all, he was a neighbour for four years and always seemed like such a quiet unassuming guy.

SSS is inviolate.

It also means Fred Smith could not possibly have been a genuinely innocent man, because they encryption is inviolate, by definition, nobody but Fred Smith had access, therefore Fred Smith is the guilty dead perp.

Because if you DID have backdoor access to all the SSS on the planet, well, *that* is a secret several orders of magnitude greater in value and importance than Apple’s master code signing key.

And in 2016AD there are still people out there who believe that something so easy to compromise via humint as a corporate master code signing key has not already been compromised, by a company allegedly headed by an english fag with vague historical ties with GCHQ, who has absolutely no faggy/pervy skeletons in his closet, oh no sir, nothing to see here but purest driven snow.

No, let’s all obsess about stupid courts and stupid FBI and noble apple resisting efforts by big daddy state to force them under amendment 13 to perform slave labour on behalf of the state and decrypt one lousy raghead terrist padeo scum iphone…

it’s late / early so I really shouldn’t

But I notice things.

On the business front it’s been as quiet as a grave for two weeks now… meanwhile on the street outside many of the cars parked literally haven’t moved for days or more either.

Correlation?

Who knows.

I shoulda been a messiah, a dictator, a despot, I’d have settled for fucking all your daughters, all the good looking ones anyway, it’s a better deal than anyone else is offering.

I’ve been looking back over this blog too, re-men-is-sing (sic) baby, funny how shit pans out, never did take the facerig / videoblogging thing up, dunno why, no real reason not to, just didn’t maintain the desire to to, as it were.

I’ve changed too, in the five years I’ve been typing this shit, it would be worrying if I had not, but I’ve got a lot more mellow about the whole FRA thing, I’ve just come to accept it now, in the sense that there are monsters in the jungle, and the fucker tried to make me lunch, and for a while there I took that threat as serious as cancer of the bunghole, but what don’t kill ya makes ya stronger, and yeah, I’m all of that.

That’s change too, good change.

“Character building” we used to call it, life seems to have a habit of doing that, throwing a few years of shit at you every couple of decades, just to toughen you up and make you appreciate the good shit in life, or to grind you down into the shit you are.

It also makes you a lot less likely to cut anyone else some slack.

Not all muslim immigrants are rapefugees, some come from genuine shit and will do anything for a fresh start, so the mantra goes.

Anything except be the strongest critics of the fucking rapefugees it seems, shades of the arguments about not all wimminz are etc.

Falls down when it comes to not all men are rapist though, them that ain’t are the hardest thing on them that are, given the chance, and the law turning the other way.

Like the non muslim refugee in germany that tore pages outta da koran and stuffed them down the toilet, instant riot with the other muslim rapefugees out for his blood, literally.

Still, the Daily Fail is reporting that known paedos are targeting the vulnerable kids in the refugee camps, if it’s true, fill yer boots paedos, is what I say, turnabout is fair play.

For those of you who haven’t travelled the world, yeah, you can’t tar everyone with the same brush, and islam/muslim is a religion not a race and all that jazz, but the acid test is what *sort* of muslim, is the guy sunni or shia.

Shia is fucked up like fundy xtians, sunni is fucked up like crackheads on krokodil, you can be neighbours with a fundy xtian, you may not like each other but they rarely want you dead.

Nowadays I don’t cut nobody no slack, I’m with the old Texan school of thought that says if it happened to you it’s your fault, I got no sympathy and I don’t believe your version of events.

If FRA’s are demons in the jungle for individual men, shit going down with banking and capitalism and resources and immigration is no more than demons in the jungle for old school white society and values, not that white society and values have always been something to write home about in a good way.

The white man was better than everyone else at everything, including wars and genocide and rape and pillage and everything else, and it was to counter that that we built most of what we called civilised society, handshakes and (in the uk) riding on the left, showed your armed hand was empty to others, southpaws were literally sinister.

The various colours of muslims and the rest forget that at their peril, white man is capable of wiping 100 million from the planet, and they won’t all be other white men, all you gotta do to make it happen is break down traditional societies and roles… oh… wait…

The Chinese I got time for, even if they had the same agenda, I got time for them, because they are industrious motherfuckers, it’s just business, nothing personal.

The rest of these worthless cunts, it purely personal, never business, because by and large they don’t have a business bone in their bodies, less it’s opening a takeaway, and unlike the kebab shop, the chinky will sell you peking duck or fish and chips or kebab or vindaloo or pretty much anything else that makes a profit.

See, you’d have thought that the fucking mafia would have kept the fucking wogs out of fucking sicily, but oh no, turns out the fucking mafia are bringing them in by the boat load from north africa, it pays well see, same as drugs and whoring…

We fuck each other over, it’s what we do, there is no illuminati master plan, it’s just darwinian forces at work in the absence of other predatory effects, no sabre toothed tigers to predate on man, so man has to predate on man, and on this note the nazis and the ragheads are way ahead of the politicos and bankers, they know it is gonna be a fight for survival.

At that point it gets to be like my FRA, the very first casualty is the question of whether I did or did not in fact rape the skanky psycho bitch for ten years straight or not, establishing that as being a fact or a fiction was abandoned very very early on, all that matters is will you survive the ordeal or not.

If you do, you will be different, if you do, I hope you make it like me, not just different, not just stronger, but happier and looking forwards to the future.

 

For Hans

Poor girl, when she wakes up and realises that the men who would have saved her have already been demonised for 40 years, marxist / feminist playbook nearing the end game.

My dead father used to say “Hitler was right”

Lot’s of germans will be waking up to that, instead of apologising for it.
