The dumps acceptance speech for this award “…Folks, I have deserved this award, the giant turd, for a long time…for a long time, the liberals ganged up on me, as they do, only way they can win…gang up…earlier, a few weeks back, I was talking to some person who doesn’t exist, name drop known person, and they both agreed I deserved this award for the giant trued, my turds and everyone knows this, are the biggest, the best, no turds better anywhere, not Biden’s, not Obama’s…no…mine reign supreme and stand out as a symbol to the rest of the world that the USA is again great at making the best turds and having the biggest turd  in the world as it’s leader. When it comes to turds, I am making America great again..!” 

 

Mr OH, although I cannot forget you accused Airbus of tecnical failure some 20 years ago I wish to present myself as willing to forgive and thank you for this evaluation of what is coming out of Trump from various openings. His arsehole being not the worst by far. Just listen, farting in comparison a quality noise.

I maintain that Boeing is, for now, a structurally  better built plane than airbus. I say this from my own hands on experience, having worked on both. While Boeing had (before the merger with Mcdonell Douglis) a series of problems and delays with the 777 and 787, they were nothing compared to nightmare AB had with the A380, which I have flown on and serviced and find to be a decent machine over all. I have not done any “gut repairs” (major repairs).  Both have had their software issues, Boeing’s being far more catastrophic. Sadly, I read that both are now going the route of computer designs where in “…if it works on paper, it will work in the air…” logic seems to prevail rather than longer term physical testing of modules.. AB was first to use this…not working out so well for Elon and the gang at SpaceX and I don’t see anything good coming from it at Boeing or AB, at least not yet.

      I must, in all honesty say that I *think* European businesses are held to a higher integrity standard than U.S. companies are, or so it seems anyway.  In Speaking with an older, now retired Boeing rep, he said “…Boeing used to be a company driven by engineers, now it is a factory run by bean counters (accountants) and the bottom line rules…” I think this has lead to several bad decisions on the part of Boeing.

In all seriousness, several people who have worked around the dump have said he smells foul and frequently soils his diaper when he gets upset. I knew this while watching him lose it with Zelensky and was hoping that Zelensky old sniff the air and then say “did you just shit yourself..? WTF really..? My god…” or words along those lines… Words cannot express how much I really hate this ass hat…He is a national embarrassment on an international stage…yet, his minions remain loyal, though supposedly shrinking in numbers and conservative republicans jump ship…his is supposedly the most anticipated/ hoped for obituary…

The accompanying bubble quote was “…Joe Biden soiled my pants…”

Orangeman said today that all of Europe is on a wrong path and in future he will support the right people within the European politicians. Easy to put together a list who that might be, although he would have to hurry with Orban of Hungary because finally the Hungarians are tired of him and his curruption. Farage is another excellent example, at least in comedian-category. 

What Orangeman does obviously underestimate is that by far the majority over here believes he is an absolute moron and him supporting those rightwingers in Europe might rather be of damaging effect.

In my software days, the successful projects were the ones that had extensive testing conducted on the end users, not the expensive laptop...

As it is and so it shall be, i was formerly an apple fan, now an amazed person.

There's room in the market for someone to make a new "device' that just works, without borrowing tropes from the unimaginative.

I remain an apple user, though I feel the build integrity has gone down hill. Had an old Mac book with a hard plastic case…bomb proof! New one took a dump in about 3-4 years, cracking case charging ports that don’t work integral battery that took a shit in 4 years, old one was a pop in and out battery that cost $80 bucks…

I just bought a M4 MacBook Pro, compared to the ones of old, this is lightning.
