I’m perfectly fine with being not very smart.
Also…
I know a few engineering types. They can be the dumbest smart people in the room.

Re: Miscellaneous news items that don't warrant their own thread
No argument on that one. Some engineers can be very, very specialized.

Some of these motherfuckers need to be stood up against a wall and be pelted with eggs, fruits, and vegetables.
I have a lot of pet peeves with regard to them, but my #1 is:
Don't put windows on the east, south, or west side of an athletic venue. Nothing worse than sun shining partially on a court, rink, or field.

I have taken the Myers-Briggs so much at work for training classes that I now refuse to do so.
I have taken it no less than 10 times and I come up ISTP every time.
In Star Wars characters, it means I am Chewbacca.

Civility? What civility? (I seem to remember Trump being raked over the coals for his language.)
https://www.wsj.com/articles/biden-curs ... 1643073814President Biden called a reporter who asked him about the potential political consequences of inflation a “stupid son of a bitch” at a White House event on Monday.
Mr. Biden’s comments came after Peter Doocy, a White House correspondent for Fox News, asked the president if inflation would be a political liability ahead of the midterm elections.
“No, that’s a great asset. More inflation,” Mr. Biden said sarcastically. “What a stupid son of a bitch.”

Re: Miscellaneous news items that don't warrant their own thread
More of the same.
https://hotair.com/karen-townsend/2022/ ... es-n444502A former Westchester (NY) County Executive exposed covert operations used by DHS to relocate illegal migrants from southern border states to other parts of the country. A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request produced video proof that the Biden administration does not want Americans to know about it.
The former county executive, Rob Astorino, is currently running as a Republican candidate for the governor of New York. He appeared on Tucker Carlson’s show on Wednesday night. The video footage that was run during his segment shows a plane on the tarmac of a Westchester, New York airport in August 2021. The flight landed during the night. A Westchester County police officer recorded a conversation with a federal contractor on his body camera. The video shows proof of a secret charter flight used to transport illegal migrants from the southern border to New York.
“The government is betraying the American people,” said the federal contractor
“Our government is completely out of control right now. They have lied to us. They’ve lied to the American people,” Astorino, who is running as a Republican for the governor of New York, said Wednesday on Fox News’ “Tucker Carlson Tonight.”
Astorino said he personally saw the migrants being put on a bus to a Costco, where they were “then released into cars into the community.”
The 51-minute footage of the August incident shows Westchester Police Sgt. Michael Hamborsky peppering federal contractors early in the morning with questions about the after-hours flights and why local police were not provided details.
“You’re on a secure facility here; we really don’t know anything and we’re in charge of security,” he told one of the contractors.
“This is anti all our security stuff,” Hamborsky said.
...
The New York Post first reported last August that a private security firm signed a $136M contract with the federal government to transport the illegal migrants around the country.
