Bonanza Brown is #1971…just one away!
Beer list is now at 1970. There are at least two more beers here I haven’t had yet, and they’re about to move…maybe I’ll hit 1972 this evening. :)

Jello shots for LVRDR complete!

Time to make the jello shots…
Just finished my last day of work before LVRDR weekend…taking Monday off this year as well as Friday. w00t!
This is what happens when you ask a “community organizer” to do a president’s job:
Obama fails. It’s what he does.

(Quick aside: Bob Dole disapproves of this use of the third-person to refer to oneself.)
Obama has once again proven the long-known wisdom — of which he was ignorant, and when it was told to him, he jeered at it, because it conflicted with his “new” thinking — that the surest way to waste men’s lives in pointless warfare is to adopt a craven, cowering position and invite aggression.
All hail the Eternal Failure and Bringer of Destruction, Nobel Peace Prize Winner Barack Obama.
They are resorting to Orwellian double-speak to not call it combat, because, of course, Obama declared the end of combat action in Iraq, and Obama is a vain and weak man who mistakes himself for a god.
So they’re calling it “direct action on the ground.”

Just because it’s teh funny.
Imagine how much lower it would’ve been if shitholes like Chicago and Baltimore had proper mayors and city councils instead of the corrupt excuses for the same with which they’ve been saddled. Even with that not being the case, this kinda blows a hole in the case for gun confiscation that all the usual suspects have been making lately:

Nothing like changing the default behavior of a program in a point release so that users then wonder why it’s not behaving as it should:
Changes in 8.2
filesystem_check_changesinconfig.phpis set to 0 by default. This prevents unnecessary update checks and improves performance. If you are using external storage mounts such as NFS on a remote storage server, set this to 1 so that ownCloud will detect remote file changes.
Nearly all of the files on my ownCloud server are accessed from Samba shares on the same server; ownCloud is basically how I access my files away from home. If it’s not monitoring filesystem changes, it will rapidly fall behind on which files have been created and deleted.
Until v8.1, it monitored filesystem changes in the default configuration. I upgraded to v8.2 over the weekend, which no longer does that unless you add an option to the config file to reenable it. Grr.
Not much different than shown in the photo:
How Wesleyan’s Attempt To Stamp Out Words Inflames Them
For anyone interested in freedom of the press, October 18, 2015 is a day that deserves to live in infamy. That night, for what may be the first time in the United States, the student government of an elite American university stripped funding from that university’s campus paper—for the offense of running a conservative op-ed.
The Wesleyan Argus published the op-ed in question on September 14. Conservative student columnist Bryan Stascavage’s article was titled “Why Black Lives Matter Isn’t What You Think.” Stascavage, who, by his own admission, was conflicted about his opinions on the movement, raised some rather moderate concerns about its propensity towards excusing, or even encouraging, violence toward police officers. He invited students to question if a more considered approach to police violence was necessary.
For his efforts, he was branded a racist, and a group of radical “student of color” activists started a petition to defund the campus paper that published his piece, and—and I swear I’m not making this up—to burn any copies of the paper found carrying the offending article. Yes, apparently publishing an op-ed that was merely undecided about the question of #BlackLivesMatter was enough for some activists to argue for book burning and press closure.
