Don't like to do two in a day but eh:

5 Denver Health nurses suspended after opening body bag to view genitals

Denver nurses ogled dead patient's genitals

Denver Health nurses suspended after opening body bag to see man's genitals

These are just some nurses that eventually got caught.

Would you, RN/Dr. Soyluser, grope a stiff?

Still clueless

Political: if you don't like what I have to say, go elsewhere

Methinks she doth protest too much!

http://www.cnn.com/2017/09/05/opinions/hillary-clinton-book-bernie-sanders-filipovic/index.html

Hillary will be running for President again, it seems, and is already starting with the smarminess and cluelessness.

"Clinton is right: Sanders' attacks on her character fed the same narrative as Trump's"
So... Attacking character is wrong, she says as she attacks Bernies' character.(?wtf?)

"And she's right that running on the Democratic ticket when you're not a Democrat isn't just hypocritical, it can be incredibly damaging. For one thing, it gives a candidate a platform to trash the very party he says he wants to lead."

What? Trash the party and the person who STOLE funds and support from you? God forbid!

Blaming Sanders for HER loss!?!?! Unbelievable and oh, so 'deplorable'.

She is (again) trying to push Sanders out of the race (I gather she also believes she has no chance against him if they both run an honest election race).

She and her yes men are so clueless, and it appears that CNN is ramping up to support her in her defiling Bernie.

"This is because among some factions of the left -- Sanders loyalists, newly minted socialists -- being a liberal is just as bad as being an anti-gay pro-gun anti-choice tax-slashing administrative-state-dismantling deep-red congressman who moonlights as a Breitbart columnist."

"Is that Sanders' fault? No. (And indeed, the ascendance of his brand of socialism in the United States is long overdue.) But his attacks on the Democratic Party helped set the stage for this thoroughly dysfunctional, and ultimately destructive discourse."

So, he was right and she was wrong, but let's support her even though she ran the dysfunctional and destructive leadership run (again, she STOLE resources from Bernie when he was Leading!)

I guess I mostly blame CNN for this tripe and their support of Hillary. They are again backing a loser who still won't take ownership for the loss.
She isn't to blame: she hasn't a clue.

Shamefull. Unbelievable.

Deplorable.

Looking for this article about high dynamic range:

Netflix confirms HDR compatibility with Samsung Galaxy Note 8 and LG V30

Found this article with some nice historical and technical details:

Believe the Hype: HDR Is the Real Deal

HDR seems like a bigger deal than 4K for games with moody atmospherics or stealth mechanisms, as well as certain films. I doubt it will die and recede into the background like 3D did.

Humble bundle BSG: and rambling.

The Humble Bundle has a bunch of BSG (classic and new) comics on sale ($15 for the bunch).

Looks interesting: i've grown kind of fond of e-comics and manga's. About the only thing i can do while mobile, (like going to Disney World) cause i ain't got no phone.

Would have loved one of the phones Ubuntu was trying to crowd fund, but it was like $600-800+, if memory serves (and it NEVER DOES, Batman), but yeah.... money.

Still saving for that computer upgrade, but Disney set me back a bit, lol.
But worth it.
Last years vacation was a staycation. Really sucked. Didn't do anything. Disney World i enjoyed even though the humidity put it up over 109 degrees.
Helllllllla enjoyed EVERY second, pretty much.

Disney really can do a good job, despite the tracky-ness of it all. You just gotta want it bad enough: and i hella needed it.

Always nice to see your kids face light up like it did when Goofy entered the room.

No wonder so many Americans are overweight: at Disney World, I was drinking all you can drink Powerade because they didn't have club soda available.
We've been drinking water in the car driving, but when you stop, it's huge amounts of food, washed down with cuke.

I rediscovered catfish at the Cracker barrel, though. Haven't had it in about 40 years: sooooo good! We used to catch perch for breakfast as kids, but the catfish was nice.

Americans love their fireworks, snacks and GUNS, if you go by their roadside advertisements.
It's been fun, but our timeline took us off the perfect eclipse viewing track. We'll still be in the US, though, so we'll see something anyways, lol. I'm going to try to video it for shits and giggles.

Almost home: going to go through Niagara Falls. Love that place.

Walmart.

Walmart receives approximately $8 billion dollars a year in subsidies. http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/walmart-government-subsidies-study#51652

To be a nice guy, I'll call it $5 billion, but I digress. These subsidies are supposed to be used to create jobs, and to create more convenient locations to purchase goods.

Walmart has used these subsidies to create stores all over the United States. They hire people at these stores with wages below the national poverty line. The people that work for these stores are forced onto welfare programs to feed their families. Approximately 70% of the welfare funding these poor people (literally) receive is redeemed at Walmart for the food they need. So, Walmart is not only receiving billions of dollars from the United States government, but they are double dipping because their under payed employees have the only logical choice of spending their welfare at Walmart. So Walmart get's 70% of all the welfare money from employees they underpay.

To make matters worse, even at my local Walmart (Sioux Falls SD South Louise Ave.) they redesigned the store now so that there are usually two checkout employees and now about four times as many self checkout machines. How many people that were supposed to be hired because of government funding are now losing their jobs to these self checkout machines (that are payed for by government funding and welfare)?

If there is a hell, the Wal family and anyone associated with them is going there. I hope there is a hell. If that's the price I'll burn along with them.
