If you can't read it, it is page 3, containing two adjacent news items:

65. Lockheed has an opening for engineers with VAX eperience for the F22
66. The New York couple donating millions to the anti-vax movement

Coincidence that these items are adjacent?

Or some evil alien conspiracy?

AMD’s “special binning” the 16-core Ryzen 3950X to make it “your best gaming part”

It would be interesting to see an 8-core, 2 chiplet Ryzen. 4 working cores on each, up to 4 completely broken. Select the 4 best cores, pump up the clocks. Gamers will probably prefer that over 12 or 16 cores.

Supposedly, Intel's Ice Lake (mobile) will own AMD:

Warren emerges as potential compromise nominee

I've predicted that Warren will be the 2020 Democratic candidate for some time now. But now it's going to require Biden shoving his foot in his mouth or otherwise getting heavily attacked (and there's a lot of inconvenient stuff in his long political career). The meat grinder debates on June 26th and 27th (Wednesday and Thursday) should help with that.

Some potential good news for Warren:

1. She is in the first debate night.
2. Biden, Sanders, Kamala Harris, and Buttigieg are in the second group. Warren's closest competition is Beta O'Joke. The two groups were randomly selected.
3. She will literally be center stage, along with Beto, Cory Booker, and Amy Klobuchar. Position is based on polling.

Maybe I'm wrong and being separated from Biden and Sanders will mean lower viewership and less chances to directly confront her top opponents. What do you think?

Biden/Sanders, Warren/O'Rourke to be center stage at first debate

The event is hosted by NBC News, MSNBC and Telemundo, and will air live across all three from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. ET both nights. The debate will stream online for free on NBC News' digital platforms, including NBCNews.com, MSNBC.com, the NBC News Mobile App and OTT apps, in addition to Telemundo's digital platforms.

Savannah Guthrie, Lester Holt, Chuck Todd, Rachel Maddow and José Diaz-Balart will moderate the debate, NBC announced last week.

No comments, please, out of respect for the dead. I miss MDC, and frojack, and all the other Soylentils no longer with us. Just let the entire BuckFeta experiment submerge beneath the waves of alt-right internet auto-asphyxiation. We mourn what might have been, and hope still for a future where incels can learn to meet women, where programmers can actually get living wage jobs, and where it is OK to be white, because that is the way it has always been, you firkening racist asshole.

aristarchus is dying. Khallow wanted him to flame out, but that is not the way it is going down. He has overstepped, become shrill, annoying, and the alt-right has taken advantage of that, by making it rain before Trump's most recent rally. Nothing angrier than a wet Trump supporter but a wet hen, and they have comparable intelligence.

STEM is a SCAM, a Socially Corrupt Attempt to Manipulate. We need people here who understand how tech is used, paraded before Vulture capitalists, and works against humanity. We need to take a stand on political matters, a technically informed stance, lest we be Damored by ignorant techies.

And, finally, this journal entry makes no sense. I could regale you with the saga of hundred more rejected submissions, unfair and unjust down-modding, and erroneous accusations of sock-puppetry, but I will not. Perhaps you should look for what Friedrich Nietzsche called "the philosophers of the Future", the ones who will come, not with a hammer or a gallon of gasoline, but with a tuning fork, to test the idols of the present, and to see which ring hollow. (hrumpgh, Peterson, Milo, Gavin, jmorris) And then the revaluation of values can begin.

***************Quote Nietzsche:
Eine neue Gattung von Philosophen kommt herauf: ich wage es, sie auf einen nicht ungefährlichen Namen zu taufen. So wie ich sie errathe, so wie sie sich errathen lassen - denn es gehört zu ihrer Art, irgend worin Räthsel bleiben zu wollen -, möchten diese Philosophen der Zukunft ein Recht, vielleicht auch ein Unrecht darauf haben, als Versucher bezeichnet zu werden. Dieser Name selbst ist zuletzt nur ein Versuch, und, wenn man will, eine Versuchung.

aristarchus is nearer to dead. A third spam mod, to one of the original members of the Buckfeta movement! Oh, the huge Manatee! And in an aristarchus submission, where I was just providing context and explanation! Oh, my vision is getting dark. My karma is the lowest my dogma has ever allowed it to be. I haven't felt like this since the early days, when someone modded me to oblivion for saying things they did not like, and Runaway1956 came to my aid. . . wait a minute! He was there? Already! Oh, dear.

Anyway, I have slung threats and hurled insults and made ultimatums, so now I await the judgement of Soylentils. Is this site worth saving? Or do we need to kick khallow out?

When I was young, it was uphill both ways, and in plain ASCII, no GUI.

You had to memorize a stack of manuals -- that couldn't be removed from the computer room because they were bolted (literally) to the table. Young people learned to type properly, otherwise you would have to DUP the card you were punching up to the column where you made the mistake. There was no backspace -- the hole is punched into the card and can't be un-punched. And stand up straight. Pay attention. Don't drop your deck of cards on the floor -- that's a real mess to sort out.

This was just target practice, right?

Because if they were shooting at Russia, they could use some!

So awful what happened in Cleveland. 2016 Republican National Convention, remember that one? As you know, RNC "delegates" chose me -- very proudly -- as OFFICIAL Nominee for President. Great moment in the history of our Country, right? But outside, a horrible person with absolutely NO RESPECT was doing one of the worst things anyone can do. Burning the Flag of our beloved Country -- U.S. A. The same one that so many men, and a few women died for. Or, not the same but the latest version of it. And the Cleveland Police did their jobs brilliantly, they arrested him very quickly for that one. But now, all charges dropped. And Cleveland( City) is paying the Perpetraitor $225,000. Can you believe it? It should never be allowed to happen again! Nobody should be allowed to burn the American flag. If they do, there must be consequences -- perhaps loss of citizenship or year in jail! foxnews.com/us/cleveland-225g-american-flag-burner-gop-convention

Big thanks to Senator Steve Daines. Senator Kevin Cramer. And, Steve Womack in House. Who are doing the Amendment against burning our incredible Flag. This one's a real NO BRAINER, folks!!! foxnews.com/politics/trump-backs-bill-to-ban-flag-burning-a-no-brainer

Says here in the Times, regarding US "attacks" on the Russia grid:

Two administration officials said they believed Mr. Trump had not been briefed in any detail about the steps to place "implants" -- software code that can be used for surveillance or attack -- inside the Russian grid.

Pentagon and intelligence officials described broad hesitation to go into detail with Mr. Trump about operations against Russia for concern over his reaction -- and the possibility that he might countermand it or discuss it with foreign officials, as he did in 2017 when he mentioned a sensitive operation in Syria to the Russian foreign minister.

First, it's the Times, so bring a bag of salt. Second, why would they say this? Sounds like silly bullshit for the campaign, but it's the Times.

So, who runs the country, eh?

Let's take a vote. Who do you want to run the country? The DOD? or the prez?

Or should we just blow this off as some sort of tabloid fairy tale for ratings?

Today is a very special day. The 244th. Birthday of my magnificent Army. pic.twitter.com/MyypBVGMoW

And by the way, it's also the Birthday of your favorite President. I've been getting so many wonderful phone calls about that one. And so many beautiful gifts. I get calls and gifts all the time. Some from foreign governments. Should I immediately call the FBI about these calls and gifts? How ridiculous! And by the way, I didn't get a call from Ayatolla Homenni. Or a gift -- nor a gift. No gift from Iran yet. But the day isn't over, they still have time. To give a beautiful Birthday present to me -- or to my great, and very brave soldiers. But of course I would give it to the FBI or report it to the attorney-general. Of course you would do that.

Iran is a nation of terror and they've changed a lot since I've been President, I can tell you. They were unstoppable and now they are in deep, deep trouble. They were screaming "oh, death to America." They haven't been screaming "death to America" lately, did you notice? That's because of me. If the Ayatolla calls and says "oh, we don't like your opponent, death to 1% Joe" am I supposed to report him to the FBI?

So busy today, working hard. I call it a Working Birthday (@foxandfriends). But hopefully we'll have time for a little piece of cake. We love cake, don't we? Little celebration of my tremendous SUCCESS. And even the enemies of the American People( also my enemy) Fake News CNN has to admit I'm doing magnificently. New CNN poll, 54% AGAINST Impeachment. Great number, isn't that a great number? Believe me, it would be even greater if Rasmussen did the poll. Folks are starting to see there was NO COLLUSION. ZERO COLLUSION. And very very little Obstruction. Almost no Obstruction. Thank you America!!!
