Let Them Eat "3D-Printed Chicken"

In the bunker galley. Even w/ an alleged 25% less sodium, it's quite salty.

Campbell's cordially invites the poor to eat shit & die.

Meet The New Plague

Looks like an artist's impression. Search "H5N5 virus images" for other interpretations.

Died. Didn't just contract a new-to-humanoids strain; died.

CNN:
Washington resident dies of complications from bird flu strain never before reported in humans  —  A Washington resident died of complications from an infection with a bird flu strain never before reported in humans, the state Department of Health said on Friday.
Grace Abels / PolitiFact:   This year, Thanksgiving turkeys might need a prayer, not a pardon, as bird flu cases rise. …
CBS News:   Washington state resident dies after contracting a bird flu strain never before detected in humans, officials say

I understand there's a celestial object w/ our name on it if this plague doesn't get the job done.

The Clouds Above, The Palms Below

Eff Microsoft & whatever service they use to provide weather information. Rain was forecast for 1000, then 1100, now it's 1347 & still no rain!

Also screw Gates & Microsoft for managing to screw up the slideshow. It went downhill in Windows 10, & Windows 11 is fucking worse, not better. How is it possible for everything not only to suck, but continuously to suck even more? Just how many sub-human cretins passing as humanoids must be killed to stop the sucking? And why is it the only answer is always mass killing? Are there perhaps too many of you, all of whom are cretinous beyond human comprehension? I'm looking for solutions here people, &, as always, none of you are the slightest damn help.

I auto-corrected again & again, but I'm still not sure this is correct.

Friday The 13th A Day Early

Memento mori

Everything, Part II

Felt lousy, threw up again. Will try to activate the new crap (Third time's the charm?) if nothing I'll have to call them, which will doubtless be interminable. (I don't have that much time left, you bastards.) What an irritating imposition.

Irony

Decided to get Spectrum iNternet (again) for $30.00/month, half what Starry charges, & because Starry has gone out twice recently. So up to Hollywood (What a shithole of contemporary corporate/chain bullshit it is now. No character at all.) to the Spectrum store, where I traded my modem for a new one that is just like the previous one, & a new router, which will run an extra $10.00/month, so I'm only saving 20 bones. Figures.

Returned home & connected the modem, then to the Spectrum website to see if I could activate it w/o downloading another effin' app to my 'phone. At the website I was greeted by a message claiming there was an outage in the area affecting tee vee, iNternet & 'phone. Dunno about the iNternet, as Starry is still on, but the tee vee's been working all this time. (At one point the 'phone was making white noise, but it's quiet now.) At 2314, the website advises the impacted service is television, & it will be restored asap. Earlier it promised 0030 on the 11th. And it claims my iNternet is connected, which I suppose means the 'modem.

The irony is that because of this alleged outage the activation page doesn't work.

One other little problem, which I didn't notice at the store. No idea what Spectrum is thinking, but their wiring into my bunker is co-axial cable. Do you see a threaded co-ax terminal anywhere on this new-to-me box?

Ah, what was I thinking? The new modem was included because the router connects to the modem's Ethernet port. Can't fool this reporter for long.

Applied power & Ethernet to the router; the green light is steady & the amber one is flashing as they should. Must be connected to something, but the website only shows the modem, not the router. And this:

Plan Unavailable

We're sorry, we're unable to display your plan details. Please try again.

Either still suffering an outage or the system is yet to update my account. May as well wait until tomorrow later today before giving up & calling a human or downloading their app as is suggested. 

Funny, but I'm not (yet) enraged & ready to kill, probably because if anyone but a robot calls it should go to voicemail, & Starry hasn't gone out (as it did last night) so there's still iNternet. But my patience is not infinite.

Serves Them Right To Suffer

Schadenfreude Dep't.

Enough measles on the loose should result in mutations. "Super Measles Kills Millions Of Unvaccinated Morons" would be a fitting headline.

Stupid, Stupid, Stupid

Always amused when people are so bestially stupid that they install these fences backward. You're not keeping anyone out w/ it facing in you fuckheaded dipshits.

So much for the bank of whatever that dump was. There is not a person in this awful world of shit, pain & cretinism who doesn't deserve my absolute & utter contempt. Fucking retarded morons can't run a bank or install a fence successfully. Just kill yourselves already! I need that oxygen you're wasting.

Sea Lice? Nowhere Is Safe!

Scientists have captured rare footage of remoras, also known as sucker fish, hitching rides on humpback whales off the coast of Australia. Remoras use an adhesive plate on their heads to cling to whales, feeding on dead skin and sea lice.

New Zealand Maritime Museum

Took iron pill just past 0300, haven't fwowed up (yet) although I was nauseous when I woke up & realized I was still stuck on this putrid planet of pretentious pricks. There is no hope at all for this world, or for you, me or anybody else.

"Bent over

— Nation of Sheep, "Doing the Vom"

That's Daily Vomit Report. What'd you expect, a list of the horseshit I've got on my DVR? Vomiting is much more interesting than telebision.

That being said, heaved this a.m. w/o the assistance of an iron pill or an excess of Hallowee'en candy, so I decided not to take the iron pill.

Even Stupider Than One Could Imagine

Believe it or shove it, this reporter looked like this maybe 50 yrs. ago, except
I would've been sporting a button down shirt & it wouldn't have been white.

Took from 1700 Fri. until 0230 Sat. to download that crap, w/ two or three abortive attempts. May have lucked out. When they first started pimping 11 I was informed my devil-box was ready to go & just couldn't wait. Then one message that said Lenovo's piece of poop wasn't compatible, then when starting the download the page said they'd "let me know" when 11 could be downloaded, but I gave it a final shot & the third or fourth time (Who can remember?) was the charm, I guess. (The time it finally worked still took two or three hrs., & sat at 6% & then at 25% for long worrying periods.)

Why it took so long.Or you could save time & read it, assuming you're reasonably literate.

Had I known, I would've had Gates & Allen killed in school bus accidents when we were Lakesiders. Why did no one come from the future to warn me?
