I got 6 points,YOU?

@lippyent We used them as paper weights in the 60's and 70's. They are insulators for telephone poles running electrical lines. It was a crime to shoot them off the pole.

What the Heck is it? Hmm 😒 🤔?¿

@gothburz Not a very good 1 April joke. Quite lame actually.

I am the Acting Deputy Director of Case Prioritization at the Department of Justice. My job didn't exist four months ago. It exists now because the cases don't. We dropped 23,510 criminal cases. That's not a typo. Twenty-three thousand five hundred and ten. We call it "resource-aligned docket management." The memo went out in February. Seven pages. Printed on 24-lb bond paper. The word "drop" appears zero times. The word "efficiency" appears forty-one times. The word "victim" appears zero times. I counted. Twice. Here is how you reprioritize. You fire 1,500 federal prosecutors. That's "workforce optimization." Then the cases those prosecutors were handling no longer have prosecutors. That's a "resourcing gap." Then you close the cases because nobody is assigned to them. That's "docket hygiene." I didn't drop a single case. I eliminated the people who carry them. That is efficiency. Some of those 23,510 cases were fraud. Some were drug trafficking. Some were violent crime. All of them were active. All of them had defendants. All of them had victims who were told the system was working. The system was working. We fixed that. We rehired some of the prosecutors. As contractors. Lower pay. No benefits. No caseload continuity. We call that "flexible talent deployment." The contractors cannot access the old case files without submitting a PRISM-4 clearance request. Average processing time: eleven weeks. A prosecutor named Sarah — a contractor now — came to my office last Tuesday. She had been building a wire fraud case for fourteen months. Seven defendants. Two cooperating witnesses. She needed access to her own discovery files. I told her to submit a PRISM-4. She said the statute of limitations runs in nine weeks. I said the processing time is eleven weeks. She stared at me. I said the process is the process. She asked what happens to the case. I said the case resolves itself. She asked what "resolves itself" means. I said it means efficiency. She left. The case was marked "resolved" the following Thursday. That is efficiency. My team built a dashboard. It tracks "case resolution velocity." Every dropped case counts as resolved. Our resolution rate is up 340% since January. The dashboard has a green banner at the top that says "Justice Delivered" in Calibri Bold. I chose the color. It is the same green as the DOJ seal. I presented the numbers at the All-Hands last Tuesday. The Acting AG called it "the most significant efficiency gain in modern DOJ history." He's right. 23,510 cases resolved in one quarter. No trials. No discovery. No convictions. He asked how we achieved this. I said we achieved it by reducing prosecutorial capacity. He said to write that differently. I wrote "optimized resource allocation." He said perfect. That is efficiency. I have a Slack channel called #docket-zero. It has 43 members. We are three weeks ahead of schedule. The schedule is the date by which all pending cases will be resolved. Resolved means dropped. The schedule is ambitious. We are ahead of it. A woman called my office last week. Her son was the victim in one of the 23,510 cases. She asked when the trial was. I told her the case had been resolved. She asked if the defendant was convicted. I said the case was resolved. She said that isn't what she asked. I said resolution takes many forms. She asked what form this took. I told her we had optimized the docket. She hung up. I have a Post-it note on my monitor that says "23,510 / 0." The first number is the cases resolved. The second is the number of people I have to explain it to. That is the metric. I report it every Friday. The number on the left goes up. The number on the right stays at zero. That is efficiency. Someone in the All-Hands asked about the victims. The question was captured in the feedback log. The feedback log is reviewed quarterly by a committee. The committee last met in November. Of a year I cannot identify. 23,510 cases. 1,500 prosecutors. One memo. Zero convictions. Zero trials. Zero victims contacted. I got a new title out of this. Before, I was a GS-14 scheduling analyst who managed room bookings. Now I am the Acting Deputy Director of Case Prioritization. The promotion came with a 22% raise and a parking spot in the garage. Spot number 114. It has my name on a temporary placard. The placard says "Acting." Nobody has told me what I am acting as. I am the prioritization. I have never prosecuted anyone. I have never tried a case. I have never met a defendant or a witness or a victim. That is why they promoted me. That is efficiency.

You might have missed a little issue. It seems that American and Canadian cities don't currently have the heating pipe infrastructure. It would have to be conceptualized, designed, then approved by government. Ground selected and planned for, then approved by government. Construction started and each phase approved by government. Work completed, then approved by government. So we are now 20 years down the road, no homes have been connected yet. See the problem? I'll give you a clue. It's not the engineers.

The constraint isn't heat. Heat is a product. Europe already knows this: Finland heats 250,000 people from data center waste heat, Denmark heats 11,000 homes, Germany mandates 20% waste heat recovery by 2028, and it costs 12-30 €/MWh — cheaper than gas boilers. You don't need to launch chips into space at billions in cost. You need to put data centers next to cities and pipe the heat into district heating systems. Free cooling for the chips, free heating for the people. Musk wants to reject waste heat into infinity. Europe turns it into warm showers. One is a business plan for SpaceX. The other is common sense.

Every AI company on Earth is fighting the wrong war. They think the constraint is power. It is not. The constraint is heat. xAI holds permits for 41 natural gas turbines in Mississippi drawing over a gigawatt to run Colossus. A significant fraction of that energy does not run computation. It runs cooling. Chillers. Fans. Water. Heat exchangers. The infrastructure required to prevent silicon from destroying itself with its own waste heat. Every hyperscaler faces the same wall. Data center electricity is projected to double to 945 terawatt-hours by 2030 per the IEA. Transformer lead times run three years. Grid queues stretch four. Every new gigawatt of cooling requires permits from communities that do not want it. This is why Musk announced on March 21 that 80% of Terafab’s planned output will go to space. The reason is one equation. P equals epsilon sigma A T to the fourth. Stefan-Boltzmann. In vacuum, radiation is the only cooling mechanism. And it scales with the fourth power of temperature. Raise a chip from 80 degrees Celsius to 120 and radiated power per square meter nearly doubles. Not because you added hardware. Because physics did the work for free. The D3 chip being designed for Terafab’s orbital satellites will run hotter than any terrestrial processor specifically to exploit this. At 100 degrees Celsius with emissivity 0.90, a satellite rejects 100 kilowatts of waste heat through roughly 100 square meters of radiator. No water. No fans. No grid. No permits. SpaceX confirmed this number on March 22. The 100-kilowatt AI Mini Satellite render shows a radiator of approximately 100 square meters, described as “quite small relative to the solar panels.” Energy collection requires area. Heat rejection barely registers. On Earth, cooling scales linearly. Double the compute, double the infrastructure, double the resistance. In vacuum, the heat sink is the cosmic microwave background at 2.7 Kelvin. It is infinite, free, and already built. The Sun delivers 1,366 watts per square meter continuously in orbit with zero weather and zero night. But energy was never the real bottleneck. The real bottleneck was always thermodynamics demanding that waste heat go somewhere, and on a planet with an atmosphere, somewhere does not scale. In vacuum, somewhere is everywhere. Terafab targets one terawatt per year of compute. The entire United States grid runs roughly 0.5 terawatts. The orbital mass required demands tens of thousands of Starship flights annually, which skeptics call absurd until they learn propellant costs run single-digit millions per launch while the US industrial oxygen market alone exceeds fourteen billion dollars a year. The only bottleneck is Starship reusability, and Falcon 9 booster B1067 just flew for the 34th time on March 30. The company pursuing this operates the only reusable orbital rockets in existence, flies more than ten thousand satellites with autonomous collision avoidance executing 300,000 maneuvers per year, and is designing chips purpose-built for vacuum thermal regimes. The race to artificial general intelligence will not be won by the company with the most GPUs. It will be won by the company that solved cooling. And there is exactly one that plans to manufacture its own silicon, launch it on its own rockets, and reject its waste heat into infinity at the fourth power of temperature. T to the fourth. Remember that exponent.

@MbarkCherguia Oohhh yeah. That little sh*t needs some serious correction. I don't think this is the last we'll see of him in this current judicial climate.

WATCH🚨: Police officer facing heavy online backlash over his aggressive arrest of this teenager 🚔 Do you see a problem here?

@MbarkCherguia E2

We are doing a scientific research right now and we need your honest answer (for males only): which coordinates do you piss in?

@lippyent Liver.

Tuna noodle casserole! Hmm 😒 🤔?!?

@Matt_Pinner Why do you assume they haven't or are not here currently? If they have the technology to get here, they couldn't adapt or disguise to appear like us? History is replete with reports of those decending from the sky.

If aliens exist, why haven’t they visited Earth?

@NewswirePatriot Nope. ETS (Exit The Service) for them, under a General Discharge. Not Honorable Discharge. If you can not commit to the United States against all enemies, foreign or domestic, see ya. ( The Commander In Chief is NOT a domestic enemy ).

Some Muslims in the US Military are asking to be classified as "Conscientious Objectors," arguing that fighting other Muslims violates their conscience and religious beliefs. ❓️: Should Muslim Service Members be granted this special exemption?

As a Firefighter/EMT, not a Medic, over 18 years, I assisted in hundreds of intubations on trauma and medical patients. Succinylcholine administered to either type patient, most in sever pain, stopped all motion, except for the heart. That paralytic is short acting and we provided ventilation while the patients were under. Other paralytics are not short acting.

@PJSMusic @Notwokenow Colinergic blockers like these ones can’t overwhelm the sympathetic reflex induced by pain or hypoxia, the patient wakes up when it happens even with high doses.

Do you believe there are doctors who would let you die (or worse) for the sake of harvesting organs? Not just in Canada or Spain, but here in the US?

@b3a5tc0c @Notwokenow That's the hope. Not the reality. Do you actually think the "medical profession" is too dumb to get away with it? That society wants to even conceive the possibility that our doctors would even consider it? Follow the money. Who benefits?

@PJSMusic @Notwokenow Brain death exams are only performed under the influence of no drugs and they are typically done by at least 2 and sometimes 3 independent physicians.

@gregmarshall59 @Notwokenow That's an incomplete sentence. It should read: If you are not breathing, you are not conscious very long. You will suffocate, be aware of it, scream internally, and be unable to do anything about it. It's horrible. "Normal" society doesn't want to even consider it.

@PJSMusic @Notwokenow If you are not breathing, you are not conscious.

@K_analogue @Notwokenow That's the best you have? Do your own research. Then find out how many "conspiracy theories" have come true in the last ten years. One big one, unrelated to the above, director Stanley Kubrick admitted to faking the moon landing for nasa ( intentionally not capitalized ).

@PJSMusic @Notwokenow You are a retard

@ScaryEurope It's April Fools Day. This never did, or will happen until England awakes and sets *hit straight.

SHOCKING DISPLAY OF ACCOUNTABILITY: GREATER MANCHESTER POLICE FORCE ORDERS MUSLIM FAMILY TO CLEAN UP THEIR LITTER! In a bold move that has sparked nationwide debate, Greater Manchester Police has ordered a Muslim family to clean up their litter in a public space. This surprising act of accountability has ignited a conversation about civic responsibility, respect, and community standards in Britain. But was this the right approach? What does this incident reveal about the state of community values in the UK today?

@AmericanMama Maybe get the Governor or President to commute his sentence, release him to the streets and let him continue?

Already serving 16 life sentences, Ricky Wassenaar killed 3 convicted child rapists in AZ prison on April 4, 2025. He strangled his cellmate, then beat two more with a rock in a laundry bag—all evil demons convicted of sexually abusing or murdering children (one raped & killed a 15-year-old girl). He only regretted not killing more. Child rapists are pure evil who destroy innocent lives forever. With nothing left to lose, Wassenaar delivered the justice our broken system refuses to. No mercy, no tears for these monsters.

@lippyent Yeeaaahhhh... that's not gonna work for us.

🤔?¿

@MmisterNobody Political correctness on full display. "Quattuor astronautae Artemidis II sunt mixtura apta, ex consuetudine temporis selecti."

This is the team of Astronauts heading to the "Moon" tomorrow What's the first thought that comes to mind when you see this picture?

@ThrillaRilla369 Get 11 more, bigger, dogs.

If your Muslim neighbor says you must get rid of your dog to respect Islam, what would you do?

Did I read correctly, not in this post, that Ukraine has used over 800,000 drones against Russia? It's been said previously, by military analysts smarter than me, that this war has changed how all wars will be fought going forward. That's scary. Invest in large capacity semiautomatic shotguns with chokes to vary your patterns I guess.

A Ukrainian drone unit freed captured soldiers by striking an armed Russian guard escorting them. FPV drones hit the captor during the operation, enabling the release, with support from other defense units contributing to the success. #Ukraine

@alt_w_v_g HOA =Stalinist Russia. Avoid like the plague.

Got a letter from the HOA yesterday Actual letter In an envelope With a stamp In 2026 The letter said my trash can was visible from the street for too long on collection day The fine is $50 I checked my Ring camera The truck came at 7:03am I brought the can in at 7:14am 11 minutes $50 That's $4.55 per minute of trash can visibility My therapist charges $250 an hour That's $4.17 per minute My trash can sitting in a driveway is now more expensive per minute than therapy I looked at the letter again It was signed by the HOA president Her name is Karen Of course it is I know this woman She lives four houses down She still has Christmas lights up It's March I know because I drive past them twice a day And because that's what I do I checked the HOA bylaws All 47 pages Section 4.2 says all exterior fixtures and lighting must be seasonal and removed within 30 days of the applicable holiday Her lights have been up for 97 days I went to the HOA meeting Tuesday night 7pm In a church basement Folding chairs Fruit platter that nobody touched Seven people showed up Four of them were on the board The other three were there to complain I was there to read My wife came with me She didn't want to But she said "if I don't come you'll end up on the news" I brought my legal pad Karen called the meeting to order She talked about community standards She talked about property values She talked about the importance of curb appeal From a woman whose Christmas lights are still blinking in March I raised my hand She said "we'll take questions at the end" I said "it's not a question. It's a point of order." She looked at me I opened my legal pad I said "Section 4.2 requires seasonal decorations to be removed within 30 days. Your Christmas lights have been up for 97 days. You fined me $50 for 11 minutes of trash can visibility on collection day while you've been in violation for over three months." The room was quiet One of the other three complainers said "he's right" The board members looked at each other Karen said "that's a separate issue" I said "it's the same bylaws" She said "we'll review it" I said "I already did. Page 12. Happy to share my highlights." My wife looked at the ceiling Some things never change Karen said "I think we should move on" I said "agreed. I'll move on when the Christmas lights do." Nobody laughed I wasn't joking I paid the $50 Because it's $50 and I'm not going to die on that hill But if the rules apply to me they apply to everyone So I filed a formal complaint about the lights With photos Timestamped Funny how surveillance works both ways The fine for seasonal decoration violations is $75 per occurrence She's been in violation for 67 days past the 30-day grace period I'll let her do the math Or I'll do it for her Because that's what I do Make common sense common again Plz fix.
