EU demise

The Three Big Events during the world war in this century will be: the end of the EU, the breakup of the US, and Chinese expansion around the globe (Taiwan and Africa).

Britain left the EU. Now, Germany isn't happy with the restrictive rules:

This is an open acknowledgement that the globalist vision of the European Union has comprehensively failed. As I mentioned on last night’s Darkstream, the European leaders are going to have to choose between standing by their professed principles and taking off the veil and revealing themselves to be naked authoritarians.


Reality hits hard

Why were the Germans so entertained by what Trump said? Did they think that the past few decades of peace and economic stability would last forever? Or did they truly believe that Trump is dumb; therefore, he only utters gibberish?


Infinite Storage!

30TB SSD for $39:

[...] Windows detects the unit as two 15TB drives. In reality, the microSD cards were smaller. He noted that the USB-C to USB-C 3.1 cable is a sham and the drive sticks to the USB 2.0 standard, allowing transfer speeds up to 60 MBps. The hacked firmware writes new data on top of the old data and keeps the directory. It appears to be working, but when you try to access your files, there's nothing there.

30TB in that form factor doesn't even exist. Even if it did, it'll be easily over $3,000.

I do wonder how many people ordered this "amazing" deal.


Just add sugar

It's still bizarre for me to see how so many people in America and Canada consume so much sugar to start their day. I still remember being shocked when I was introduced to pancakes drenched in maple syrup for breakfast. Intensely sweet!


Perverse incentives

After the partial debt forgiveness, the scammers will take out even larger loans. The fraud will intensify. The same logic applied to the past immigration amnesties. It lead to greater illegal immigration; the illegal aliens were logically gambling on another blanket amnesty for themselves and their families.


Most fail at 1

It's a retweet from them and a likely repost from me:

Think of all the perpetually poor people in your life. How many of them possess just that first trait?


Sri Lanka in Europe?

We do live in interesting times:

[...] the main reason the Swiss would likely be rebelling against their government is that the country produces what should be sufficient electricity for its own winter needs, but it has promised to provide a fair amount of that electricity to the rest of Europe. And the Swiss people are very unlikely to accept the idea that they have to freeze in darkness so that their electricity can be sent to France or Germany due to the outdated ideals of a few globalist Europhiles.

After a miserable inflation rate of 50% in just under three years, the Swiss clowns decided to flush their neutrality down the toilet which resulted in even more higher prices. Those in charge have also promised to sell their basic resource to foreigners. Now, the citizens of one of the richest countries in the world are being urged to buy candles and firewood.

The Swiss don't have to travel to the poor nations around the globe. They will experience the third-world first-hand in the upcoming winter months.

Anyway, let's see how quickly these Europeans make friends with Putin.


The way it works

The Wuhan Flu doesn't impact the rich or the political class. That's why they can fly and visit venues where they can be seen chatting, laughing, and dancing in a mask-free environment.

It's the same with guns. They want to make it illegal for the average guy to buy a basic handgun while they're protected by a phalanx of armed guards with thousands of rounds of ammunition.


It's a mere flesh wound

Vox Day:

No one with any knowledge of military history believed for one single second that there was going to be a Ukrainian counteroffensive this summer. They don’t have the troops, they don’t have the artillery or the air support, they don’t have the supplies, they don’t have the transport, and they don’t have the command-and-control infrastructure. The pattern of false reporting is very clear. The globalist media reports periods of Russian rest and refit as glorious Ukrainian victories, then portrays every successful Russian offensive as Pyhrric victories akin to Stalingrad.

It's shocking how the Russians keep advancing when they've had zero ammo for about four months.

Seriously, one feels sorry for the average Ukrainian soldier. No matter how much the globalist media tries to sugarcoat the situation, the survivors see the reality of blood, death, and carnage.

Odessa will be key for Russia in the coming weeks. Gaining and keeping Odessa will be a nail in the coffin for Ukraine.


No country for White people

The enlightened, progressive racism in action:

An agreement between the Minneapolis Federation of Teachers union and the school district states that White teachers will be laid off before teachers of color, regardless of their seniority.

What a clever way to get rid of "expensive" teachers. Hire or transfer in a lot of young, low-salaried, colored clowns and then fire White teachers because times are tough. Of course, it would be totally RACISSS! to oppose this policy.


The Left eats its own

The Left has always been the most vicious towards the "moderates" within its ranks. In this case, they didn't even need to get their hands dirty. They'll shed exactly zero tears for Rushdie.

Anyway, years of peace resulted in shockingly relaxed security around Rushdie. One halaal psycho with a sharp object has nearly put him in his grave. It's astonishing that the sheer blood loss didn't kill him.

Those who have offended the Religion of Peace must always be prepared for violence. 75-years-olds can't be too vigilant.


Welcome to Pakistan!

The title of the piece tells the whole story: This American Blogger Was Showing an ‘Unseen’ Pakistan. Then She Was Gang Raped.

Unfortunately for women like her, there is no cure for stupidity.

She also followed Western female influencers, who posted about travelling in Pakistan with comfort, safety and privileged access. This is despite a 2021 survey showing that 80 percent of Pakistanis think women aren’t safe in their own country.

It's not exactly a secret.

After COVID

Nowadays, COVID has a fatality rate of 0.02%. After almost three years, it simply doesn't justify the vaccine passports, mask mandates, and lockdowns. Life goes on.


High level thugs

Yup. Here in Canada, we have got a Tax Free Savings Account in which one can put a maximum of $6,000 a year. If you take money out, then its added to the contribution room. Here's the catch: that amount cannot be deposited back in the calendar year in which the withdrawal was made.

Now, if you login to the Canadian Revenue Agency (CRA) website, then you can find the page where it clearly states your contribution room for the current year. Of course, that number could very well be false if your local bank(s) didn't correctly notify the government about all your contributions and withdrawals over the years. So, if your overcontribute, then you pay heavy fines (1% per month for your extra amount).

In other words, can't trust the government info, can't trust your bank. You have to keep your own meticulous records.


Hide the bodies!

One big reason why governments and pharma pushed for vaxx passports: it's tough to make comparisons when there's no control group. Fortunately, and unfortunately, we can contrast groups of millions and the vaxx is definitely increasing the mortality rate.

In January, triple vaccinated 18 to 39-year-olds were ever so slightly less likely to die than unvaccinated 18 to 39-year-olds, with a mortality rate of 29.8 per 100,000 among the unvaccinated and 28.1 per 100,000 among the triple vaccinated.

But this all changed from February onwards. In February, triple vaccinated 18 to 39-year-olds were 27% more likely to die than unvaccinated 18 to 39-year-olds, with a mortality rate of 26.7 per 100k among the triple vaccinated and 21 per 100k among the unvaccinated.

Things have unfortunately got even worse for the triple vaccinated by May 2022 though. The data shows that triple vaccinated 18 to 39-year-olds were 52% more likely to die than unvaccinated 18 to 39-year-olds in May, with a mortality rate of 21.4 per 100k among the triple vaccinated and 14.1 among the unvaccinated.


"Random" audits are coming

Yup. You have to prove with mountains of meticulous paperwork that you didn't do anything wrong. If you don't do that in a short amount of time, then the government thugs comes after you. This is an insidious weapon which will be used against political opponents; precious time and money will be wasted. People will have to spend thousands of dollars to prove their innocence. The buffoon who says, "don't cheat on taxes!" doesn't get that the, dragged out, process is the punishment.


Setting a new record

I once witnessed pop-can-sized hail in, of all places, Saudi Arabia. It bombarded the balcony of our apartment for a few minutes. It must have done some serious damage to cars and those who were outside. To be in a car when it happens? That's dreadful:

Matt Berry was driving home after golfing Monday evening when cloudy skies quickly turned into a rare storm that dropped hail the size of softballs, caving in his windshield and leaving about 150 dents in his car. “I was getting covered in shards of glass,” the graphic designer said as he recalled the moment he pulled over on a country road to take cover while driving from Innisfail, Alta., to his home in Red Deer, Alta.

“The noise was quite loud,” he said. “It was just crazy. Scary at times, but really it was just shock and awe more than anything.”

The biggest one was nearly 300 grams. That's lethal stuff.


Taiwanese engineering

My laptop in the late 90s had data transfer speeds at around 10-15 MB/s. With the latest NVMe SSD drives, one can hit 10-15 GB/s. That level of data throughput would have sounded absolutely ludicrous back when my total hard disk size was 2 GB!

This upcoming ASUS motherboard will have space for four NVMe SSDs without the use of add-in cards. That's going to be nirvana for serious gamers, photographers, and video editors.

New CPUs, motherboards, and GPUs are coming in Q4. It should be an excellent time to upgrade for those who were discouraged by the GPU prices of the past two years.


Nothing just about it

I couldn't help but laugh when "Max GPU Length" and "Slot Width" showed up as metrics for comparison at the very top! The most important piece of information, memory size, is the fifth item to be mentioned.

It's so confusing when retailers pull these stunts. There are dozens of popular reviewers with years of experience who have mountains of data which easily and thoroughly contradicts what Newegg is displaying. Fake benchmarks are only going to deteriorate its reputation.

Thanks, Steve!


A Cold War

China will eventually take over Taiwan. The only question is: will they do it with open military force or without. So far, their war has been cold and calculated. The men of fighting age in Taiwan have lived a pampered and peaceful existence on a tiny island. They don't have the will to fight. China can win by simply making their lives financially uncomfortable. A tiny minority will resist but most will fold.


Norwegian treat

Jarlsberg is one of the best tasting cheeses around and it's healthy!

In a scientific battle of the cheeses, Norwegian researchers said Tuesday that a small daily portion -- 57 grams, or roughly 2 ounces -- of Jarlsberg, which originated in Norway, may help prevent bone thinning from osteopenia and the more severe condition, osteoporosis, without increasing harmful cholesterol.

I'll remember to add a little bit extra in my omelet tomorrow.


Holy Woke Batman!

Warner Brothers should be printing money with the Batman related movies. Just look at how much The Joker made. Unfortunately, retarded wokeness cost them a $100 million.

The DC Comics film “Batgirl” will be completely “shelved” by Warner Bros., a top Hollywood source told The Post. That means it won’t hit theaters or the streaming service HBO Max. Fans will not see it.

The reportedly $70 million movie (the source said the budget was actually more than $100 million), which was doing test screenings for audiences in anticipation of a late 2022 debut, would rank among the most expensive cinematic castoffs ever. Those tests were said to be so poorly received by moviegoers that the studio decided to cut its losses and run, for the sake of the brand’s future. It’s a DC disaster.

Ace of Spades has more ugly details:

The plan goes like this: In the Flash movie, due to time-travel and multiverse-crossing nonsense, the Michael Keaton Batman enters the Justice League Universe and gets to share screen time with the Ben Affleck Batman. But the Ben Affleck Batman dies, making the older, retired Michael Keaton Batman the official, and only, Batman of the Justice League universe.

Being older and retired, his main role will be to serve as a Mr. Miyagi like mentor to his replacement, the race-swapped Batgirl.

Meanwhile, the Flash movie also introduced Supergirl (also race-swapped, if you can believe that!). She will be replacing Superman.

Yup, that's how you make the big bucks: kill Batman and Superman!

The Ace of Spades Decision Desk is ready to make the call: The Flash movie will also be cancelled, decision to be announced within the next two weeks.

Wow. That would be $200 million down the toilet. Let's see.


Won't you feel sorry for this poor actress?

She makes over a $1,000 a day and lives in a mansion but please, do shed a tear:

A starring role in an Emmy-nominated TV show doesn’t pay what it used to. Sydney Sweeney, the breakout star of the HBO hits Euphoria and White Lotus isn’t shy talking about her money troubles. [...]

Sweeney was reportedly paid $25,000 per episode in season one of Euphoria, according to World Celebs. [...]

Sweeney still has to keep up the trappings of stardom. Sure, she was able to buy a $3 million home in the Hollywood Hills, but she told the Hollywood Reporter paying for her team—lawyer, manager, agent, and publicist—costs more than her mortgage.

Is this supposed to be some bizarre technique to make her somewhat relatable? All it does is make her and her overpriced team look mildly retarded.
