@wordshaper @mhoye There was this internship in 2001 where I replaced AIX on an obsolete RS/6000 with a hacked up Linux and ran a DNS server on it. That was all the experience I had with AIX.
The RS/6000 has a PowerPC 604e (PReP). At some point, I realized that the office printer *also* had a PPC 604e but a faster one 🤣

A Somali immigrant is estimated to cost the Finnish state €951,000 (10 million kr) over a lifetime. An Iraqi migrant: €697,000 (7 million kr). And so on and so forth for all non-Western groups. 🔗
A native Finn contributes a net +€3,400 per year.
It takes approximately 280 working Finns to compensate for a single Somali arrival. 🇫🇮🇸🇴
SEND. THEM. HOME.

_IPCC Admits Apocalyptic Climate Scenarios Are “Implausible” – Meaning Most Media Scare Stories Over Last 15 Years Are Officially Junk_
FTA: Activist climate scientists, journalists and Net Zero-obsessed politicians are in shock following an official admission from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) that a set of key assumptions promoting a climate ‘crisis’ since 2011 are “implausible”. The notorious set of always-improbable RCP8.5 ‘pathway’ assumptions which fed into computer models trying to measure an unmeasurable climate are no more. Since around 2011, these ‘business as usual’ assumptions have produced outlandish claims of future climate catastrophe which have been lapped up by lap dog journalists and politicians. The influential writer Roger Pielke Jr. called RCP8.5’s demise, “the most significant development in climate research in decades”.
Others might observe that we have not heard the last of RCP8.5. Its gross misuse is likely to be given a starring, central role when the history of the Great Climate and Net Zero Scam comes to be written.
Pielke lays it out clearly what has happened:
"What matters today is that the group with official responsibility for developing climate scenarios for the IPCC and broader research community has now admitted that the scenarios that have dominated climate research, assessment and policy during the past two cycles of the IPCC assessment process are implausible. They describe impossible futures."
He goes on to note that tens of thousands of research papers have been and continue to be published using these scenarios. In addition, a similar number of media headlines have “amplified their findings”, while governments and international organisations have built these implausible scenarios into policy and regulation.
It cannot be over-emphasised how important this finding of implausibility is. It means that almost every fearmongering mainstream media climate headline and story that has been written over the last 15 years is junk. Of course it also explains why a growing band of sceptical commentators have refused to accept the political concept of ‘settled’ science and have engaged in widespread debunking. Shooting fish in a barrel is one way of describing this work. At times, with just a modicum of investigative scepticism, the stories can be seen as little more than an insult to average human intelligence.
When the RCP8.5 assumptions are loaded into computer models, they run politically-convenient red hot suggestions that the temperature in 2100 will rise by about 4°C from a 1850-1900 baseline – in other words, a rise of nearly 3°C in the next 80 years. Only the most deranged eco loons will claim such large short-term rises out loud, so the activist scientists quietly loaded garbage assumptions into their computers to arrive at their garbage-out Armageddon scares. The writing was on the wall for RCP8.5 last year when President Trump’s executive order titled ‘Restoring Gold Standard Science’ effectively banned the use of RCP8.5 for scientists on the United States federal payroll. It also noted one of the unrealistic RCP8.5 assumptions driving deliberate climate psychosis to be that end-of-century coal use will exceed estimates of recoverable reserves.

Hitler calls a meeting of his best soldiers and commanders and tells them "Alright I want to order the assassination of one thousand jews and four hedgehogs."
Then one of his generals stands and says "But... Mein furhur why four hedgehogs?"
Hitler then smiles and says "See? No one gives a f*ck about the jews."

You should read "The History of the Nuclear Bombing of Nagasaki" by Andy Reven. This nonfiction book is the best about war and history. It’s a real page-turner and profoundly impactful. This work is a must-read. Google it now!

I'm at a at a similar spot. Vocation & role of father involves protecting the family in a defensive manner that may involve force.
But that is a far cry from the justifications for war we hear today on national level that are built on future theoretical possibilities.
"Because of their rhetoric, We have to destroy them before they might be able to destroy us."
Bombings & killing of innocents NOW based on some perceived future possibie action by them against us.
Israel/USA do this.

Friends & Followers, I'm back from my week off (having avoided the news completely since last Sunday) and normal commentary & posts will re-commence tomorrow morning.
Thanks to everyone who sent me supportive messages after the post about my respite time off, I really appreciated your good wishes.
My batteries are recharged (appropriately enough given some of the recent discussion in the timeline) & I feel refreshed.
If I had a beaver I would name him Justin!

All 3 of my aunts were married off before they turned 15. Hundreds of thousands of little girls are married off legally and systematically in Muslim countries. This isn’t something that happened to Aisha 1400 years ago. This isn’t something that can be whitewashed by calling Aisha “Mother” and pretending she was revered. This isn’t over yet. Little girls are doomed to a lifetime of abuse under Islam

This graph shows one of the many reasons the good old days were not so good. Even as late as 1870, women were losing 2 out of 5 of their children.

Illustrating every legendary creature in Wisconsin folklore: The Pleiadians or Nordics
Wisconsin has a ton of alien and UFO sightings. POSSIBLY the U.P. of Michigan has more, though that's debatable, but we're the very least in second place!
The Pleiadians are one of many different alien species that people (including Wisconsinites) have reported encountering. They are compared to Scandinavians in appearance, as they are tall, blond, and blue eyed, but are notably taller than even your average Scandinavian, and are far more beautiful.
The Pleiadians are also often cast as one of the few benevolent alien species out there, and are believed to be trying to spiritually uplift Earth in some way.
All that is the general lore about the Pleiadians you can find in ufology circles all around the world.
But the Wisconsin-specific Pleiadian lore adds on a new angle.
Wisconsin has three different towns which all claim to be the "UFO Capital of the World", and one of these towns, Dundee, has a large amount of reported Pleiadian encounters.
And it's from this that we learn the most important detail of the Pleiadians (at least, the most important detail if you're a Wisconsinite): The Pleiadians are avid Packers fans, who regularly travel to Wisconsin to attend Packers games, disguised as regular humans.
So they may be called the Nordics, but they are CULTURALLY and SPIRITUALLY Cheeseheads!
