JuliusPullo··on Judge Orders Twitter to Unmask FBI Impersonator Who Set Off Seth Rich Conspiracy
The man was shot twice in the back. Nothing was stolen and no one was arrested. There were no cameras or witnesses to confirm what happened. But the police said this was a robbery. Shouldn't the police version itself qualify as a "conspiracy theory".
JuliusPullo··on Humans are more closely related than we commonly think
To be fair with Christopher Lee, "to be a descendant of Charlemagne" is not the same thing as "to trace your descendants back to Charlemagne".
JuliusPullo··on Apple Helps FBI Track Down Floyd Protester Accused of Firebombing Cop Cars
That "protester" is involved with a cause that preaches armed conflict and the destruction of the US of A. A bunch of jerks like him are being encouraged and protected by powerful politicians who hold the same ideas. Maybe it's past the time we wise up and start evaluating where the detriment of all of us really is.
JuliusPullo··on Oregon’s air quality is so hazardous that no one knows what it means for health
No, is because the antifa-blm marxist are setting the fires. Direct and coordinated arson. Time to pay attention.
JuliusPullo··on Oregon’s air quality is so hazardous that no one knows what it means for health
this time around? until the marxists take over.
JuliusPullo··on Remote Work Is Killing the Hidden Trillion-Dollar Office Economy
You make your connections, build your relationships and stumble upon great ideas during the breaks between the meetings, the coffee breaks, and around the water cooler. You lose all that when you work from home.
JuliusPullo··on Ask HN: What movies that showcase leadership will you always recommend?
APOLLO 13

NASA Director: "This could be the worst disaster NASA's ever experienced."

Gene Kranz: "With all due respect, sir, I believe this is gonna be our finest hour.” ---

Gene Kranz: "I don't care about what anything was DESIGNED to do, I care about what it CAN do.”

THE FLIGHT OF THE PHOENIX (1965)

Frank Towns: We got an injured man in there. The doctor says he can't be moved. You're suggesting we tack him onto this thing...and bounce him around...

Dorfmann: With the material and personnel available ...this project would require at least 12 days. Dr. Renaud, how long did you say Mr. Scarnati might be expected to live? Six days?

Dr. Renaud: Perhaps less.

Dorfmann: [looking at Towns] See? The problem does not even arise. ---

Frank Towns: The little men with the slide rules and computers are going to inherit the earth.

THE CORE

Col. Robert Iverson: Being a leader isn't about ability. It's about responsibility.

Maj. Rebecca Childs: Got it, sir.

Col. Robert Iverson: No you don't, Beck. I mean, you're not just responsible for the good ones. You've got to be responsible for the bad ones. You've got to be ready to make the shitty call.

Maj. Rebecca Childs: What makes you think I'm not?

Col. Robert Iverson: Because you're so damn good. You haven't hit anything you couldn't beat. I mean, hell, you were the one who figured out how to save the space shuttle. You made me, you made the rest of NASA just look like an ass. It's just you're used to winning... and you're not really a leader until you've lost.---

THE SEVEN SAMURAI

Kambei Shimada: As a matter of fact, I'm preparing for a tough war. It will bring us neither money nor fame. Want to join? ---

Kambei Shimada: Go to the north. The decisive battle will be fought there.

Gorobei Katayama: Why didn't you build a fence there?

Kambei Shimada: A good fort needs a gap. The enemy must be lured in. So we can attack them. If we only defend, we lose the war.

GALAXY QUEST (yes,GALAXY QUEST)

Tommy Webber: Whoo!

Guy Fleegman: We're getting hammered, Jason! Return fire?

Jason Nesmith: No! Divert all energy to the armor!

Sarris: How adorable. The actors are going to play war with me.

Gwen DeMarco: Sarris' ship accelerating toward us at Mark 2.

Jason Nesmith: Accelerate to Mark 4! ---

Sarris: Let me remind you, sonny: I am a general. If you are counting on me to blink, then you are making a deadly mistake.

Jason Nesmith: Well, let me tell you something, Sarris! It doesn't take a great actor to recognize a bad one. You're sweating!

Gwen DeMarco: Armor almost gone, Jason!

Sarris: You fool! You fail to realize that with your armor gone, my ship will tear through yours like tissue paper!

Jason Nesmith: And what you fail to realize is my ship is dragging mines!

Sarris: OH, NO! TURN! TURN!

JuliusPullo··on Mail-in ballots were part of a plot to deny Lincoln reelection in 1864
He does mention the name of the man who uncovered the ploy, Orville Wood. Also the names of the main perpetrators: Moses Ferry of Baltimore, Edward Donahue, H. Cromdell. He mentions a trial, of which there must be a record, and an article about it published in the New York Times the day after the trial.
JuliusPullo··on While Bolivia's coup regime lets its citizens die Cuba has nearly defeated Covid
The Cuban regime controls the numbers that are reported. No independent verification is allowed. Of course, the numbers are always awesome.
JuliusPullo··on Feds say Yale discriminates against Asian, white applicants
Has it occurred to any of you that somebody might just want to intentionally make us hate each other with this "racism" BS? To keep us divided? In the end, who really cares if someone is black, white, Korean, or half Vietnamese? Denying an earned admission to someone because that someone is of the color, sex, religion or original nationality not in fashion at the time for the leftist taste only serves to make us dislike each other more and more.
JuliusPullo··on Ask HN: What’s the single most effective thing you do for exercise and health?
keep moving. Don't spend too much time sitting or laying down.
JuliusPullo··on In marginal decisions, favour action over inaction
Of course they are not satisfied. That's why they were considering a life-changing decision, because they were not happy with the status-quo. Duh!

—"Levitt found that those who had opted for the choice that involved making a change (as opposed to sticking with the status quo) were more satisfied with their decision and generally happier."

JuliusPullo··on Maine Governor Signs Strictest Internet Protections in the U.S.
Very well, fans, here it is,

- the internet started as defense technology commissioned by the government (you have that right), which was then taken up by universities and then everyone else and developed and grown into what we know now. And yes, it was wild: no government rulings, no taxing, no policing.

- Your ISP is bothering you and you don't have other options? Better get used to it, because once the government starts regulating them, less and less companies will want to go into the ISP business (large ISP companies already have expensive lobbyists in Washington, don't tell me you thought these government regulations are made 100% for your benefit).

- last time I checked, it was The Government who was dumping toxic waste in the rivers <https://nyti.ms/2KdqoWL>. Anyway, the government took over the rivers long ago. Try to go fishing to your nearest river or lake without a permit, see what happens.

- I have bad news. Almost everyone is selling your personal data. Your bank, your credit card company, that place you take your car for service, that charity you donate to... you name it. Don't think your ISP won't do it because someone passed a law, they will always find a way to work around that law. You have to defend yourself, there's always VPN for instance. Just don't be so innocent as to think that because they passed a law now every little thing is going to be alright.

JuliusPullo··on Antonio Salieri’s Revenge
Here is something about the Amadeus play and movie that this author, like so many others, does not seem to get: the entire plot is based on the illusions of a madman. Did the author missed the part at the beginning where the character Salieri slashes his own throat and is then put in a madhouse? Every account about Mozart and everyone else in the movie/play is the version of some nut who is clearly out of his mind. "Amadeus" was never meant to be a historical biography.
