Amerikans want just some parts of christianity: traditional gender roles, marriage to men of higher status, male breadwinners, maternity leave provided by men, patriarchy. They don't want the bad parts of christianity: bans on abortion, the right to bear arms, military spending. The lion kingdom probably could have gone to an ivy league school. Anyone with the money could just transfer to an ivy league school after going anywhere else for a year. The mane limitation was paying for it. $25,000/year was a lot of money for tuition in those days. 40 years later, everyone in the news & getting the big jobs for the last 20 years was from MIT, Stanford. No-one from San Jose State amounted to anything. It was surprising how sharp the cutoff was between the top 2 & the rest. You’d think at least 1 genious who wanted to save money by going to Las Positas Community College would have hit a home run. https://www.youtube.com/prettyshinysparkly/videos Anesthesiologists ended up being t

21 years after Chevron gave up on the city, it's finally closing its last campus in Calif*. It's continuing to declare Calif* as its headquarters for tax purposes but all its employees are moving to Texas. The oil companies must have been grandfathered into a sweet tax deal, hundreds of years ago. The move out of the city was announced 5 days before the world changed. https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2001-sep-06-fi-42622-story.html The next move closes its large off limits campus. https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/chevron-selling-bay-area-headquarters-17268695.php Unfortunately, there's no way it would become a lion path since the houses on the south end have no opening. It'll probably be replaced by condos. After the world switched to remote work, Chevron was the only complex still full of commuters driving in large gas guzzling cars every day. By its demise, it was the only complex with no solar panels. When the lion kingdom arrived 30 years ago, Pa
Call the lion kingdom surprised. Maybe lions are more surprised because they never knew anyone who could have kids, having only the media to go by. The media said they were all liberal. In real life, they were all nuns. Abortion is a good example of Calif*’s dichotomy between social conservatism & economic liberalism. There are no female engineers except few of Asian origin. Women don’t make the 1st move. Most of them are school teachers or home makers. They all believe in marriage & swung for breadwinners. There’s pervasive religion comparable to Utah. The lion kingdom doesn’t think as many people believe in abortion as the media says. A rumor of slowing economic growth sent stonks to the moon, as expected. In real life, lions have seen 30% price increases in the last week. There's a lot of fear of missing out by masses who watched stonks & prices quadruple under quantitative easing. The difference from the FOMO of 2020 is there isn't a backstop of money pr
The lion kingdom was amazed by a coworker destroying his life in order to avoid spreading covid. The variant now has no symptoms, no illness, but is as transmissible as bad breath. Party allegiance though says you must quarantine & shut down so shut down he did . https://finance.yahoo.com/news/how-the-biden-economy-compares-with-jimmy-carters-191714371.html It only took the media 3 years to figure out Bide was a repeat of Jimmy Carter again. The lion kingdom figured it out before anyone else. The lion kingdom normally believes 75% of CNN's reporting to be true & 25% of Fox's reporting to be true but only can afford the republican party. No, Bide is going to win in 2024 just because amerikans do what they're told & most of them work for the government. The only real threats to Bide are socialist democrats & conservative democrats, but as long as the democratic party doesn't formally split & the only real competition happens in primaries which
Guess the prime rate will be going up again. In absolute terms, the stonk market has given back as many points today as it did during the 2008 crash, 6000. In relative terms, it's 1/2 way to equaling the crash. The lion kingdom threw down 6 slow miles in the 100 mark. Going any farther would have been bad. The swamp cooler & lion sweat brought the humidity from 23 to 28%. No seabreeze again
The big news for lions is that 1st prize now pays $100,000 before taxes. Just 15 years ago, 1st prize was just $20,000. The audiences may be smaller or non existent, but the money from each concert is a lot more. It was surprising that no chinese got awards. The south korean surprisingly got 1st place. The large russian hottie got 2nd place. The lion kingdom was unimpressed by her accuracy. The whole thing made lions wonder if there was a chance of getting partway in the amateur competition with some attainable pieces. 3rd prize went to the Ukranian, which made lions wonder how the Russian & Ukrainian were allowed to compete. The men weren't allowed to leave Ukraine & an embargo prevented any Russians from competing in anything. The game seems to be living in other countries while representing a native citizenship. It was surprising that the black guy didn't get jack. It wasn't a civil rights theater. There was a definite correlation between flare & aw
The big news for lions is that the fed didn't begin shrinking its balance sheet as previously announced. There were some rumors that it would shrink by $100 billion/month by June. In order for it to remane constant as it's doing, they have to buy more bonds as they expire. Despite the shocking interest rate moves, quantitative easing is still a thing. Suspect they're sticking to the transient inflation theory & planning on business as usual after a brief period of rate hikes. If the stonk market crashes more than it already has & inflation returns to 2%, they'll probably restart the printing press. The stonk market has already crashed 20%, which is 2/3 of the way to the biggest crashes of the last generation. If it goes to 50%, it's a financial crisis. In 1 dystopian scenario, the government accelerates quantitative easing while simultaneously raising rates during a financial crisis. The lion kingdom isn't sure why it would do that, but quantitat
Yes, the lion kingdom feels sorry for that kid. A number of purchases have been deferred to avoid going into the county which requires masks. 19 minutes at 7m15s/mile regained. Doing a small amount of fast running every day & taking 2g of vitamin C before exercise seem to make the difference. The lion kingdom used to sprint during its commute. ATMega328 joins the jetson nano in heaven. It feels a lot like 2001, before there were any microcontrollers & the lion kingdom was just starting to design hardware. 1 week after the macbook was retired, the lion kingdom still doesn't miss it. It was gradually replaced over the last 3 years until it was nothing but a file server. The biggest migration was downloading movies. A few USB extenders allowed the wifi router to replace what it was doing with ADB & serial ports. The 1 thing lions can't replace is capturing the ipad screen. There hasn't been a need to capture the ipad screen in years. There are esoteric
May 2022 was the big month in millennial marriages. Physics Hottie & Supreme Leader of all blond hotties both tied the knot. SLBH picked a lard gut director of a consulting firm. Physics Hottie married Kyle Kitzmiller, CEO of a sporting goods startup. Anyways, the lion kingdom now gets adsense for shredlights. How can a guy who makes overpriced flashlights for skateboards pay for Physics Hottie's retirement while lions who make 3D printed trucks can't even afford rent? There is an aftermarket remote control for skateboards but Physics Hottie's $50 lights are not remote controlled. PH's skateboard lights through equitable divorce have no brain of any kind. They're just common chinese flashlights with fancy silicone enclosures. There is a $15 silicone sock which fits over the remote. It's not waterproof. The lion kingdom was intrigued by how it stretches to fit.
The mane's exertions above head were no doubt exhausting. The lion kingdom finally became aware of a long running series of dreams which all happened before consciousness. Only 1 dream happened right when waking up, exposing the past dreams. As the story goes, a city was built in a giant undergound cavern to escape from zombies. The lion kingdom had many dreams in the city, hiding in boys locker rooms looking for a toilet that worked, getting attacked by zombies in subways, running down streets outside long narrow buildings. There was a dream about being on an above ground road heading towards the city. It was in rural area. Then, much later came a dream about getting attacked by zombies above ground. We decided to go back to the underground city which had long been abandoned. Reviewing sideburn competition winners, generation X turned out to be the most competitive generation in the competition's history. No other year had 4 medalists. That might also have been the
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqPg3kfAKXc THE WALL strikes. When they didn't have to show up in an office anymore, they let it all come crashing down. It really fell apart hard for some. Millennials continued to hit it off with coworkers rather than online dating, despite all the hype. TROPHY WIFE The last 7 year old macbook was finally retired. The biggest task was moving its SSD to the PC. It took a lot of grinding & breaking things off the PCI slots to make it fit. 250G of it is unused. There are theoretically ways to reinstall macos on it if it is erased. The PC now has 1.5TB of solid state storage in random sticks. The battery was puffed enough to justify discharging it in a lightbulb. After 25 years of the government not doing a thing about disposing dead batteries, the homeless despot finally accepts dead batteries. After all those attempts at creative dummy loads, the best way to discharge it was still the good old resistor. It's the only thing which go
