A new project on the harm they cause.
It’s much more about hatred of humanity than it is about the environment.
Another Weird Car Problem
My adventures in diagnosing the BMW made me decide to get another bluetooth OBD plug for the Toyota, and use an Android tablet as an extended dashboard. But I can’t get it to pair. My phone can’t even see it. It can see the one in the BMW next to the car in the driveway, but it can’t see the one that’s two feet away in the 2013 RAV4. The light is on, so it has power, and I turned the ignition on to make sure that it was transmitting, but no dice.
Another weirdness of the car (which may or may not be related) is that one of the keys doesn’t unlock the car electronically, and I’ve never been able to get it to go into programming mode to reset the key, despite following all the incantations of opening and closing doors and turning the ignition on and off that they say to do online.
[Update a few minutes later after a quick search]
Looks like it’s not just me.
[Update a few more minutes later]
Mystery partially solved. I plugged in a stand-alone OBD reader, and there’s no output. Maybe I need to look for a blown fuse?
[Monday-afternoon update]
OK, I pulled the fuse, clearly marked “OBD,” and it’s good. Now what?
[Bumped]
[Update]
I put the fuse back in, and now it works. Go figure.
Lori Pulls No Punches
She is clearly less than thrilled with the pick of Bill Nelson.
Note the implicit assumption that having an administrator that can get more funding for NASA is intrinsically a good thing.
Death And Lockdowns
They were a policy disaster.

I need to do more shopping there. They have everything.
From Cat Lady…
…to dog mom.
We did the same thing when we put Jessica down. The vet told us that it was illegal, but that if we took her with us, she wouldn’t know what we did with her. We dug a hole three feet deep in the back yard (fortunately, it never gets cold enough to make it hard to dig in coastal southern California). But Stella was cremated (we still have the ashes), and Rerun was as well, though we didn’t get the ashes. I don’t want Ashe and Ember, now two years old, to outlive us, but I don’t look forward to losing them, either.
Anyway, Mary Katherine (who I had the pleasure of meeting about fourteen years ago) has had a rough few years, through no fault of her own. I’m happy to see her life back on track.
What Was Your “Woke” Breaking Point?
Election Deform
Hey Dems, most voters disapprove of it.
Tactics Change With The Times
Instead of ammo, Chinese soldiers will be trained to shoot wrong pronouns at the American troops.
Dear White Leftists
Asians aren’t your pawns.
[Update a few minutes later]
SF school-board member accuses Asians of using “white supremacy” to get ahead.
This is how you know that all the talk about Trump and Republicans being “white supremacists” is utter BS.
