Everyone loves asking: “If Grant was such a great general, how come he lost nearly every battle to Lee and suffered way more casualties?” Robert E. Lee himself had a very different answer. “I have carefully searched the military records of both ancient and modern history, and have never found Grant’s superior as a general. I doubt his superior can be found in all history.” — Robert E. Lee The entire question is built on two flat-out falsehoods. First: Grant didn’t “lose nearly every battle.” There was essentially ONE continuous campaign — from the Wilderness in May 1864 straight through to Appomattox in April 1865. Grant seized the initiative in the very first clash and never gave it back. Lee spent the rest of the war reacting to Grant’s moves. When Lee attacked in the Wilderness hoping the old forests and bogs would save him (like they always had), Grant didn’t retreat north like every previous Union commander. He simply disengaged, slid south, and flanked Lee again. Lee never dictated the terms of battle after that day. James Longstreet had tried to warn the Army of Northern Virginia: “We’ve never faced anyone like this man.” They didn’t listen. They learned fast. Second: The casualty comparison ignores that Lee was almost always the defender. Context matters. But the deeper truth is bigger than any single clash. Lee still fought war the old way — disconnected battles, win-loss record like a sports season. Grant fought the next war: coordinated campaigns across multiple theaters, using railroads, telegraph, navy, and engineers to keep relentless pressure until the enemy simply could not continue. Grant didn’t win by accident. He made contact and maintained it until victory was inevitable. Lee fought the last war. Grant wrote the blueprint for the next one. That’s why he was great. That's why he won. Change your mind yet? Drop your hottest take on Grant vs. Lee below. 🔥

@speaktoevil @IT_unhinged Clearly your ticketing system has never tagged "VIP" as 👑 Erm, ">keep the supporting infra functioning"== IT 🙄 (31y)

@OmundTim @IT_unhinged Antiquated POV. If you’re at all a modern business, IT is the lifeline that makes sure the plant runs smoothly with shit you never even have to think about. Just like how sales doesn’t give AF about how their engineers work. Just hit the deadlines.

Our COO sent me a Slack: “Laptop is dead, nothing works, fix ASAP.” I checked the monitoring tool. His battery was at 1% and the charger wasn’t plugged in. I could’ve just messaged: “Plug it in.” Instead I opened a ticket, categorized it as a Severity 2 Power Incident. Asked him for screenshots of the problem. He sent a photo of a black screen. I scheduled a remote session for 30 minutes later “to run diagnostics.” At minute 29 I told him to verify his power source as Step 1 of the troubleshooting script. He plugged it in. Laptop turned on. I documented the resolution as “User Education: Introduced to Concept of Electricity.” The ticket remains a permanent part of his audit trail. For “trend analysis.”

I can absolutely see where Alito is coming from. There’s a certain enjoyment in debating people who are serious, who can argue in good faith, and who operate at a high level. That’s the kind of dynamic that let people like Scalia and Ginsburg be friends in private. For a long time there was an unspoken baseline that, for the highest court in the land, and really the world, you could appoint ideological opposites, but you did not cheapen the institution by lowering the intellectual bar. But the autopen removed that baseline, and with it degraded the level of discourse and eroded the professional respect that made those relationships possible in the first place. So for someone who has spent two decades on the Court, that has to be very painful to watch, seeing an institution slide into idiocracy and performative nonsense. Hence, Alito didn’t mince his words, and it’s not going to get better because Jackson is too stupid to understand what is going on, so she will keep escalating by adding more and more stupidity into the discourse, and those who respect the institution will get less and less patient with it.

OPEC is breaking up. Fracking turned OPEC's money-printer into a straitjacket. With America drinking their milkshake. A full breakup could drop gasoline prices below $2 a gallon.

❗️🚨 Microsoft Edge keeps every saved password in process memory as cleartext from the moment it launches. Microsoft's responsed when reported: "by design." All of them. Including credentials for sites you won't open this session. Researcher @L1v1ng0ffTh3L4N tested every major Chromium browser. Edge is the only one that behaves this way. Chrome decrypts credentials on demand, and App-Bound Encryption locks the keys to an authenticated Chrome process so other processes can't reuse them. In Chrome, plaintext surfaces only during autofill or when a password is viewed, making memory scraping far less useful. What makes this extra weird is that Edge still demands re-authentication before revealing those passwords in its Password Manager UI, while the same browser process already holds every one of them in plaintext. In shared environments, this turns into a credential harvest. On a terminal server, an attacker with admin rights can read the memory of every logged-on user process. In the published PoC video, a compromised admin account lifts stored credentials from two other logged-on (and even disconnected) users with Edge running. Microsoft's official response when notified: "by design." The finding was disclosed April 29 at BigBiteOfTech by PaloAltoNtwks Norway, alongside a small educational tool that lets anyone verify the cleartext storage for themselves.

The facts are clear: America’s beef cattle herd is at its lowest level since the 1950s. As of January 1, we have just 27.6 million head of beef cows. Over the past decade alone, we’ve lost more than 17% of our cattle ranchers, with over 100,000 ranches disappearing across the country. This is the reality we inherited — driven by the radical left’s climate alarmism, years of drought, wildfires, market volatility, and overregulation. @POTUS and this administration are committed to reversing that trend — strengthening the American beef industry, supporting our ranchers, and preserving this way of life for the next generation. 🇺🇸🥩

In a major development, the IPCC has finally admitted its apocalyptic RCP8.5 climate scenarios are "implausible", meaning most media scare stories over the last 15 years are officially junk, says Chris Morrison. dailysceptic.org/2026/05/05/ipc…

Some crazy psycho in LA started harassing a peaceful Christian street preacher. She aggressively grabbed his arm, tried to unplug his mic, and tried to kick his speaker. Make her famous and let’s send a message, if anyone messes with one of us, they mess with all of us. Does anyone know who she is? Help me identify her!

@WallStreetApes 🔵Read that entire contract, that's not all they can do. Anything that you print off of your printer is considered the intellectual property of HP. Don't believe me, go read the fucking contract and STOP consenting to all of this evil.

American bought a brand new printer. She bought the ink for the printer, she bought the paper for the printer, now she’s at home and is ready to print She can’t print “They remotely shut off my printer until I paid $7.50 cents to print in my own home, to print on my printer, that I own in my home” This is the new $7.50 subscription plan by HP Printers Here’s how the plans work HP’s Instant Ink and newer All-in Plan programs are subscription services options: - You pay a monthly fee based on pages printed (not ink used). - Plans start low, from $1.79–$7.99 per month for 10–100 pages - $7–$8 per month plans are for around 100 pages If your payment fails. HP will remotely shutoff your printer

@WallStreetApes I fired HP over ink $$ & lock-in, and crap photo longevity, circa 2012. Nothing but Brother & Epson ink tanks these days (but dont get me started on Bro's software update prompts freq... 🙄🤦‍♂️) "HP: Making Typewriters Popular Again"
