    Notes These notes are for Kubuntu 16.04 “Xenial”.  They may also apply to Linux Mint 18 “Sarah” KDE version and to Debian. One reason I’m doing this is because its really time for everyone to start moving to Linux.  I understand that we are all accustomed to our non-free operating systems, but it is vital…

    There’s another article in the news about Female Arab athletes under attack no matter how they dress with an accompanying photo of an arab volleyball player dressed – well, ridiculously. But WTF? I mean there have been arabs for a long time. And I never remember this kind of shit happening at sport matches, the…

  • Mass immigrant labor swarm: Unsustainable and damaging

    The idea of importing huge swarms of cheap immigrant labor to fill jobs “nobody wants” – an argument which can easily be torn apart as complete BS – is unsustainable and damaging. Think about going to a cafe. When you go to get your coffee or herbal tea there are employees there. If you are…

    So there have been videos about Hillary Clinton supposedly having serious medical problems, seizures, weird movements, etc. One of the most if not the most prevalent clips is taken from this: I say “taken from” because the videos I’ve seen never include what fully happened and never show it from this angle. That is a…

    I was thinking about the Moon and what the sky would look like if the Moon were closer to us. It would look really cool, no doubt. I imagine a Moon many times larger than it currently is, rising in the sky with a breathtakingly amazing beauty. But the consequence of such beauty would be…

    The human population is burgeoning out of control. The oligarchy wants to increase the population. Humans are using more resources than Earth can provide. And the idea that through technological advances consumption will ever be reduced to anything close to a sustainable level is bullshit. Earth is fucked. Earth’s resources used up at quickest rate…

    The oligarchy has just shit on the people of America, over 90% of whom support labeling of genetically modified foods. Remember the basic rule of how you deprive people, how you scam and rip off people of something: You provide it. That’s exactly what was done in the most dastardly, cowardly act of betrayal on…
