President Trump and Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) have agreed to pursue a deal that would permanently remove the requirement that Congress repeatedly raise the debt ceiling, three people familiar with the decision said.

Trump, Schumer agree to pursue plan to repeal the debt ceiling

I'm used to Republicans only caring about the debt when a Democrat is in office but this is just wacky.

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.

Javier Palomarez, thank you for your service! Believe me, I understand why you quit. I wish you hadn't, but I understand. Sometimes, with a multitude of issues going on, you don’t choose the right people. That's what happened when I chose Jeff Sessions. Big mistake! You can make a mistake in deals, and you work it out. When you're President, you make a mistake, there is nothing to work out. You know it's trouble. It could be big trouble. Trouble for lots of people, potentially. Picking Sessions was my biggest mistake. I had no idea he would recuse himself from the Russia investigation. Sessions should have never recused himself, and if he was going to recuse himself, he should have told me before he took the job, and I would have picked somebody else. And I had no idea he would cancel DACA. He did it behind my back. And he laughed about it. He thinks it's funny. It's not funny. Believe me, it's a big problem. For our fine young people. Our wonderful, wonderful dreamers. Our young illegals, thousands of people. And maybe a problem for our economy. Which Congress can fix. Which I'm counting on Congress to fix. Believe me, I do not favor punishing children, most of whom are now adults, for the actions of their parents. I'd love to fire Jeff Sessions, but my hands are tied. My hands are too big. And if I fired Sessions, it could blow up in my face. Because of the Russia thing. Javier, you did a terrific, terrific job at the National Diversity Coalition for Trump. I never forget my minority voters. Without the minority vote, I wouldn't have been elected. I never, never forget that. And I'll never forget your service. Good job!

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.

Should I stay, or should I go?

No doubt this is the question on everyone's mind these days! Or, I am a conceited bastard who thinks everything is about me, and the bans applied to me are really about me, and not about the random imposition of power!

Whence aristarchus? Interesting, my recent experience with mod bombing had my karma reduced to almost single digit. Now I am not privy to the inter databases as someone like The Mighty Buzzard is, for some reason, but I could tell that perhaps several of the spam mods (-10, you know!) were not called for, were in error, and should have been rescinded immediately. This was not the case, and after a campaign of posting "no comment" to current articles, either my spam mods were rescinded or my fellow soylentils responded to my mayday call, and restored my karma. But since my spam mods were not immediately rescinded, I felt it was apropos to spam mod the most visible face of the right-wing bias, and although I have no evidence to suggest such, the spam modder of me, The Mighty Buzzard.

  Those of use who are mere Soylentils get some idea of how things go down. If I rip Runaway1965 a new one over some stupid thing he has posted, I can expect to get several down mods, in that or other threads. Same thing if I have to, once again! correct the obviously rebutted khallow. Now, I am not suggesting, and I do not know, that these fine Soylentils which whom I have obvious disagreements, are down modding me just because I disagree with them. But the pattern persists.

So, after we have entered upon the "Spam mod aristarchus four times", and "aristarchus spam mods The Mighty Buzzard once" situation, things have been, well, "fluid". My karma has gone back up to the max. But curiously, it does not stay there. I seem to dip in to the low 40's, and then back up to 50, depending on where the sun is shining on the earth. Well, that is as may be. But if a majority of Soylentils are so opposed to my posts, I can only assume that my time here is wasted. Except, of course, my education of khallow and insulting of Runaway, and dismissing of jmorris, and . . . spam modding of The Marginally Brossander! Well, I was workig on a real journal on Ethics for Soylentils. It may not see the light of day, if the current tyranny of the spam mod admins continues.

Aristarchus, out. Love you all, authentic Soylentils!!!

Fuck you, Sebastian Gorka!

Sebastian Gorka, you're fired! You say you quit, you didn't quit. You quit because you were fired. And you were fired because you're a bigot. You hate Jews, you hate Muslims. Disgraceful! You're a disgrace to your race. And to the Nazi movement. You're not a Nazi, you're a fake Nazi. Wearing your father's pin doesn't make you a Nazi. No matter how much you wish it did. No color, no religion, no nationality should come between us, we are all children of God. Mother Teresa said that, and it's my watchword. Which I've always, always lived by. There's no room for bigotry in my administration. Stay away from me. And from my daughters. #ProTrump45
