The Guardian reports that Nigel Farage, former leader of UKIP and Brexit campaigner will address a far-right rally in Berlin on Friday.

The South East England MEP will appear at the Spandau Citadel in the west of the German capital to talk about “developments in the European Union, Brexit, direct democracy” and “how to make the impossible possible”, according to AfD MEP Beatrix von Storch, who is hosting the event.

A granddaughter of Hitler’s finance minister, Lutz von Krosigk, von Storch is a leading member of the anti-immigrant party, which has realistic aspirations to enter Germany’s parliament for the first time in federal elections on 24 September.

Godwin! See what I did there?

Farage speaks highly of that Nice Mr Putin:

In the run-up to Britain’s EU membership vote in June 2016, Farage said the then-US president, Barack Obama, had behaved “disgracefully” by warning on the economic consequences of a leave vote, and praised the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, who, he said, “maintained his silence throughout the whole campaign”.

And, of course, he didn't have a good word for those lily-livered liberals' next choice either:

Two months later Farage appeared at a rally with Donald Trump, where he stated: “I wouldn’t vote for Hillary Clinton if you paid me.”

Never mind, they way things are going in North Korea we might all be put out of our misery sooner rather than later.

Here's one. Putin, Farage and Trump walk into a bar. The barman says to Putin, "What can I get for you and your friends?" Putin looks the barman in the eye and replies, "I will have little water to toast great nation of Russia. I never met these two before. I don't know them from Adam." The barman replies, "Your vodka is on the house."

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.

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.

I'm usually not much of a writer, but by a strange and incredible turn of fate, I have a lot of time on my hands now.

Just the other day, my boss (a petite brunette with perky breasts and a great ass) called me in to her office, telling me she wanted to have a discussion. I knew what that meant, since she was always walking by my desk shaking that sweet ass in front of me. especially after the look of lust she gave me the day before when I slapped it as she walked by.

So finally, after three weeks, I was finally going to get a taste of of that hot bitch!

I went into her office, closed the door and drew the venetian blinds that looked out into the bullpen where us peons sat.

She looked up and said, "Please sit down. I hope you don't mind if I record our interaction." Sweet! Now she wants to make porn with me, I started getting quite sexually aroused as she started the webcam.

I said, "You look so hot today baby! I've been looking forward to this from the moment I met you, you sexy little ho!"

She replied, "I understand. It's was inevitable, almost from the day you started working here. And finally the moment has come."

I got up and started opening my pants. She slid back from her desk as I dropped my pants and began pulling down my underwear. "I've been wanting to get between those sexy legs so bad!" I said, starting to breathe heavily.

She stopped me by saying, "This isn't the right place for this."

I agreed, "Let's go into the ladies room so I can bend you over the sink, you sexy slut!"

My boss had other ideas. She said, "I've reserved a conference room for us, so put your pants back on and let's go."

That sexy bitch didn't have to ask twice! The image of her spread-eagled on the conference table was making me so hot!

We exited her office and walked down the hall toward the large conference room adjacent to the HR department. I checked my phone to make sure I had enough free space to video the "coming" encounter, just like she wanted.

We entered the conference room and I was surprised to see two burly security guards already there. I said, "Wow, honey! All three of us at once? You do love the cock, don't you?"

My boss paled a little. Obviously, all her blood was going to her loins, in expectation of the fun to come.

"We're just waiting on Leslie now," my boss said, referring to the head of HR. Today really was my lucky day! I was going to get to fuck both of those hot babes!

"Woo-hoo!" I exclaimed as Leslie walked in, looking sexier than ever. I started unbuttoning my shirt, when the security guards grabbed me and forced me into a chair at one end of the conference table and stood over me.

I said, "Ooh! bondage games! I love those! let's see those sweet pussies, girls!"

The women sat down at the other end of the table and then the meeting took a turn I never expected.

As I said, I have a lot of time on my hands now. Which is good, because both of those hot bitches are definitely going to call me soon!

Okay, I'm going to preface this entry with saying that this one is quite personal and embarrassing. It's a little more graphic than the other entries, but for the most part you all have been very supportive of my adventure and I use this space as a place to get stuff that is on my mind out. This place is also 99% men, so I feel that this place is like a brotherhood. Please be nice.

So I've been on a bit of a roll with regards to dating lately. The last entry I mentioned a girl that I had seen that I was on the fence about. I ended up deciding not to see her again. About a week later, I was able to line up another date with a raging feminist. She has green hair, and is very smart and very cute. She has been on again off again working towards a degree in women's history and feminism for the last quite a few years. I quite like her, and as of this entry, we have had 2 dinner/drink dates that have gone quite well. On the second date, we went for dinner and then walked around the part of the city where she lived. I have lived in my city my entire life, but had never visited the area where she lived. It was a very warm night with heavy smoke in the air from the forest fires burning in BC. The streets were oddly quiet, and it felt almost magical to me. She took me to a lookout with a view of downtown and we smoked a little weed and made out for a bit.

The next day, I tried to line up a third date, and she said that she will be busy for the next couple weeks with a course that is pretty intense that she is enrolled in. It makes me a little nervous to have such a long break at the beginning of a relationship because it's too frequnt that things just drift apart before they even get going. Anyways, we'll see what comes of it.

I was also able to line up a date last night with another girl. The plan was to go mini golfing and then come back to my place and order dinner and drink some wine. Cute girl, and we got along pretty well. We came back to my place and talked for a bit. She was basically looking for a fuck buddy. That works for me, and it's been a very long time since I've had proper sex. She didn't want to have sex last night because she wasn't on birth control (I always use condoms anyways, but it doesn't hurt to be extra safe). We started making out and moved to the bedroom and got undressed.

Sorry, this is about to get graphic, but I feel it's necessary to set the scene...

I love small tits. Love them. Her tits were great. Probably a large A cup with nice nipples. We make out some more and after a while I start going down on one of the sweetest pussies that I have ever had the pleasure of sticking my tongue in. Absolutely delicious. I'm doing my thing and she's making encouraging sounds, and then I changed the rhythm and lost it. I continued licking away for another 6-7 minutes, but the orgasm had got away. All the while I'm with this woman, my dick was dead. It would not wake up at all. It was just limp and lame. I felt humiliated. Even though we weren't going to have sex, I wanted to leave her with the memory of my hard cock, but instead I'm sure I'll be remembered as the guy that ruined her orgasm and couldn't get it up. Fuck. My. Life.

After that, she asked what time it was (just before 9:00) and then she said that she had to go because she had an early morning spin class. She got dressed and was gone within 5 minutes.

That was my far the most humiliating sexual experience I have ever had. I had even cut back on jerking off to try avoid a situation like that, but yet my body let be down. It's unfortunately not the first time I've had problems with a new partner. My nerves get the best of me sometimes, and the problem goes away once I'm more comfortable with the woman. I guess this one hit me extra hard because she was looking for one thing -- a fuck buddy -- and I couldn't deliver on that one thing.

So all last night and today I've been mentally beating myself up. I feel like a total pathetic loser. I'm pretty damn sure I'll never hear from her again.

I don't know what to do at this point. I don't want to humiliate myself like that again. In hindsight, I should have made less of a deal over my own shortcomings and just focused on pleasuring her. I think I made things more awkward then they could have been.

I'm tempted to just take a bit of a break from searching for dates to take some time to build my confidence back up again. I still might have a third date with the other girl, so I'll go with whatever that brings, but I'm not sure I want to try find anyone new at the moment. Since the birth of our baby, my wife and I still haven't really been able to have good sex. I think I should focus on getting that area of my life back on track and maybe once I feel confident with my wife again, some of that confidence will overflow to my other relationships.

Fuck me.

I'm working on a USB video driver. The way it works is quite complex so I ported from Linux rather than writing from scratch:

#define spin_lock_t IOSimpleLock *

Some things didn't have such simple ports, so I guarded them with #ifdefs. Then my coworker removed all the Linux-specific code as well as the ifdefs. Sucks to be him when it's maintenance time.

I get a big check when it goes to beta. I'm going to donate a good chunk of money to homeless shelters, soup kitchens and rescue missions.

And I'm going to buy a car.

The car won't help much with getting to work - because of the all-day rush our here in Portland, I'll stick to the light rail. But it might be worthwhile to drive instead of taking two busses to get from home to the North Portland light rail station. I expect that will cut my commute from two hours to ninety minutes.

More important to me in the short term is that I can go places where the busses don't go. Like the beach, the desert and the mountains.

I like to camp in the desert.

Say that ---^ in Reno and you get a 10-day involuntary hold for being a danger to yourself. That's because "camping in the desert" is a local euphemism for "committing suicide".

"But I'm not from Reno! I really _do_ like to camp in the desert." My pleas fell on deaf ears.

A good chunk of Eastern Washington, Eastern Oregon and Northeast California is a desert.

I get another big check when we ship. There will be quite a lot of work between beta and shipping; I have to support multiple dongles, as well as harmony with the competitor's dongle, as well as some other featureful things.

I'm going to get my stuff out of storage in Canada. I don't know yet how much that will cost but I'm guessing three grand.

I'll get my piano back. I mean like a real piano, with wires and wood.

It was way out of tune when I recorded this. I later had it tuned, but I wanted to record its memory in case tuning it broke some of the strings. While they could be replaced, the new wires would spoil the distinctive voice of the piano that I had lived with since I was a toddler.

In my experience, if you enjoy my recordings, you're not right in the head. One of my two biggest fans has Borderline Personality Disorder - I met her by playing a piano in a nuthouse - and Schizotypal Personality Disorder.

I also have a Fatar controller in storage. It doesn't make sound, I have to use a MIDI Sound Module for that. But it has a hammer-action mechanism that makes it feel like a real concert grand.

I also - presently - have an M-Audio ProKeys 88sx Lightweight Stage Piano. I bought it for playing open mics.

The Hell am I going to do with three pianos? My apartment is tiny! But I cannot bear to part with any of them.

Lately I've been writing down my favorite artists when they're played on Radio Paradise. Then ever couple of weeks I go to a real good record store and buy a half-dozen CDs. I've got over a hundred artists in my list, I'm going to be enjoying lots of new music, with the approval of the MAFIAA.

Ah! The privileged life: a couple weeks ago I bought parmesan cheese for my spaghetti.

All-righty - I have just nominated myself for a smart ass award with my post here - https://soylentnews.org/~FakeBeldin/journal/2592?&noupdate=1#comment_560273

And, it crosses my mind that a lot of folks here probably use multi-meters from time to time. I wonder how many of you might be using a ten dollar meter, from the bargain bin, at your local auto parts store? Maybe I can convince some of you to upgrade . . .

Like many of you, my first meters were cheap. As an apprentice or a helper, money is tight, so you're not willing to waste money on an expensive meter. But, those cheap meters can cost your life!!

Check the fuse in your multimeter. Is it a glass fuse? Most are, and if that thing is ever hit by a real high energy surge, it will become a plasma grenade, right there, in your hand! Check this PDF http://support.fluke.com/find-sales/Download/Asset/2041429_6001_ENG_A_W.PDF

Personally, my money goes to Fluke. Don't take that as a super-strong endorsement, it's just what I've settled on. There are other companies that make good, safe, quality meters, but my first decent quality meter was a Fluke 77 original. Not a Series II through Series IV, but an original Fluke 77 without a Series designator. Today, I'm very happy with the Fluke 179 - it feels right, it's reliable, and it's like a Timex - takes a licking and keeps on ticking.

If you read that PDF above, you may feel safe using your cheap multimeter, because you never get into Cat III or Cat IV. There's not enough energy to be really hazardous, you say. Hmmmm. Maybe. And, maybe not. Watch some crazy Aussies blowing shit up, then analyzing the results - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-FZP1U2dkM

I just want to make everyone aware that those ten to fifty dollar meters are a safety hazard. Make your own mind up. Maybe you don't need all the features that I need - all of which adds to the cost. But, whatever you do, you most likely need all the safety that I need. You probably enjoy the use of both of your hands, as well as both of your eyes! Just think about it . . .
