        1. Re: the 25%

          Every last one of those morons Has to be .. Absolutely HAS to be an Ottawa Public Servant….residing in that shitstain of a city.

          1. I think it’s apparent by now why I want to leave this place so badly. The people here (public sector parasites) are morons!

  11. Another idiotic article on quantum computing.

    https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/quantum-computers-canada-1.6546128

    It has the classic catch-phrases of vaporware.

    #1 the experts say …
    “Experts say technology is getting closer to commercialization”

    #2 the unsubstantiated claim …
    “If we ran [the math problem] on the most powerful supercomputer out there, it would take 9,000 years. For Borealis [the amazing quantum computer], it takes less than a second, which is quite incredible,” says Christian Weedbrook, CEO of Xanadu, the company that built Borealis.

    #3 the climate change reference …
    “While quantum computers are still in their nascent stage, experts already point to them as having the potential to solve complex problems like climate change”

    #4 the hint at reality …
    “Prof. Daniel Gottesman, a theoretical computer scientist at the University of Maryland, acknowledges there is still plenty of hype in the industry.”

    From the comments section, a Mr. Wilson observes …
    “There are those who understand quantum computing.
    There are those who do not understand quantum computing.
    And those who both simultaneously do and do not understand quantum computing.”

  14. It has taken Lorne Gunter much too long to “figure it out”, but he at least might be the first person in the legacy media to say it:

    “I think I’ve finally figured out why more people who work in the public sector were OK with COVID lockdowns and mask mandates than people in the private sector. And, no, it’s not because they are part of some grand plot dreamt up by the World Economic Forum to strip us of our rights.

    It’s because lockdowns and other restrictions didn’t impact their incomes and lives as much as they did for private-sector workers.”

  15. Re: the claim that the virus doesn’t actually exist.

    Virologist Poornima Wagh (2 PhDs in Virology and Immunology plus a 20-year career as a Lab researcher) part of a research team paid $1.5 million by NIH to isolate the SARS-CoV-2 virus claims: (there are 11 claims in the piece).

    1. no virus was ever isolated. no virus exists.
    2. no publication would accept their findings for peer review that says no virus exists or has ever been isolated
    3. the “in silico” genomic sequence “virus” from so-called patient zero in Wuhan was computer generated with only 40 base pairs compared to 30,000-40,000 for a real virus

    There’s a short video (12 minutes) at the top (and transcript) and a link to the full 90 minute interview

    1. Fascinating. The idea seems a bit ” out there”, but proponents seem to know what they are talking about. Will we ever get to the truth?

      1. Jon Rappoport (sp?) was the first I heard of it (the non-existence of the virus).
        He’s good but I have a view of him not unlike my view of Alex Jones. Both do very good work but both sound crackpotish betimes.
        But it’s very difficult not to take this report seriously in a world where there seem to be no conspiracy theories only conspiracy facts.

  16. Liz Cheney is “chasing a bigger win”.

    https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2022/08/14/liz-cheney-wyoming-primary-jan-6/10238435002/?gnt-cfr=1

    “The 26-year-old former White House aide [Cassidy Hutchinson] stood out in her white blazer — but also stood apart from many of the men in her party, who had not themselves stepped up to testify.”

    I love the men-bashing on a Sunday morning.

    “”As soon as I voted to impeach, I knew I’d be in this position,” Cheney said. “I clearly put my oath of office above political calculations. What surprises me is there are so few who have done that.”

    “Women with ‘courage and strength'”

    “But when she’s on that dais, looking out at other witnesses, she’s not as alone.”

    “Cheney sees Sarah Matthews, a former deputy White House press secretary; Wandrea ArShaye Moss and Ruby Freeman, the mother and daughter who served as election workers in Fulton County, Georgia; and Caroline Edwards, a Capitol Police officer who suffered a traumatic brain injury during the attack.”

    “I just think about how moved and impressed I am with the young women who have testified,” she said.

    Liz Cheney might be a loser but at least she is a woman. She sure isn’t a Republican.

    And what is the bigger win she is chasing? The article never really says. Standing up to Trump? Running for President one day?

    When this is over Liz Cheney will be faced with a simple question. Given her actions, who would ever vote for her? She is toast.

    1. She is simply following up on the family Blood Feud with Trump. Daddy Dick can’t stand that Trump criticized Bush’s (Cheney’s) Let’s Start a War in Iraq and Afghanistan policy.

      She’s nothing but carpetbagging political trash from Northern Virginia and we’re sending her packing on Tuesday. The idea that she is in touch with the interests of Wyoming voters is absurd. Her kids don’t even go to school here. Her opponent, Harriet Hageman shops at the same grocery store as I do.

  18. Anybody else find the Anne Heche thing a little weird? Rolled out on a gurney completely covered with no oxygen or anything else you normally see on a patient being transported, struggles out of the covers and sits up while being loaded onto the ambulance. Later declared “brain dead” due to anoxic brain injury.

    Theories?

    1. I saw that video, she didn’t look burned…I heard she was working a movie about sex trafficking, seems a lot of people working on that topic end up dead. Yes weird

  26. FWIW

    Lew,

    I detect a hidden agenda here. It’s not just about increasing revenue collections. It’s about catching citizens in “crimes” against the gargantuan US tax code. As L. Beria reputedly said: “Show me the man and I’ll find you the crime.”

    So what follows conviction of a federal crime, a nolo plea or an admission of guilt? Disqualification from gun ownership. In other words, a mass disarming of US citizens who pay taxes (but not enough). 2A bypassed and rendered irrelevant. Gun control and confiscation via the militarized IRS.
