Strong Endorsement: Mark Legvold for MN Senate District 58, Amy Klobuchar for MN Governor

To be clear, I endorse in the strongest terms pro-Democracy Mark Legvold to unseat Rice/Scott/Dakota County Minnesota Republican State Senator and Hereditary Lonsdale Chiropractor Dr Bill Lieske, not that he is as bad as other Republicans we could mention, and Amy Klobuchar as the next consensus Governor of the State of Minnesota. I was never entirely convinced that Hillary Clinton and not some other Democrat or independent should be President starting 2017 just because it was her turn in 2016 (personally, I thought Hillary was better in 2008), but it is Amy Klobuchar’s turn, she can win, she is actually really good (though I certainly hear concerns from progressives about her history as an aggressive prosecutor of for example Black men), and also, she is unopposed.

Some other local races are contested. Caucuses start February 3rd.

Two nice things about having the full Carleton Democrats US Representative CD2 debate on YouTube (see link) is that it can be played at double speed and there’s a transcript. I have no endorsement but will definitely be voting for one of the three in November (former State Senator/Private-Practice Lawyer Matt Little, current State Senator/Hennepin County Hospitalist Doctor Matt Klein, or current State Representative/Flight Attendant/Union Organizer Kaela Berg). Past debate performance does not guarantee future results but for me the fuller context was illuminating than campaign ads and Twitter/Instagram highlight reels. Also, there was a short introductory video from US Senate Democratic Primary Candidate Angie Craig and my main takeaway from that was that she made a point of saying “ass” a couple times and also, just in case you had never heard this before, she’s a person who won a district with a lot of straight men who don’t like her (for example, my own alcoholic elder male sibling loved Rush Limbaugh, Bill O’Reilly, Tucker Carlson, Pete Hegseth, and Jason Lewis), but some Republicans and most Democrats do vote for Angie Craig. The other pro-Democracy US Senate candidate is Lieutenant Governor and past State Representative/Senator Peggy Flanagan who was introduced at Imminent by Fred Rogers, DFL SD58 Treasurer Joe Chihade, and Kristi Pursell and I’m pretty sure I’ve seen Matt Little there too not that there’s anything wrong with Kaela Berg. And for whatever it’s worth Peggy Flanigan is publicly playing nice with Amy Klobuchar, who if she won Governor would be able to appoint her successor, so yeah, even if you don’t like Angie or Peggy for some reason, you should probably vote for Amy Klobuchar and not QAnon Republican Scott Jensen who is very clearly seen coming as the leading Anti-Vax, pro-genocide, anti-Popular Front, anti-Antifa candidate. https://youtu.be/32b8Jw2MxKE

I never understood flaneurs

Being an Earnest person like that trust fund baby allegedly sponsoring echo-terrorism against narcocysts who actually want to see Cop City, Wansee Cons, and New Jack City dominance in inner-ring tree-lined suburbs of Atlanta, Georgia is unhealthy and exhausting. Adjust your bad aptitudes and try to limit everyone's carbonic flatulence, ok? The mad cow veterinarian, the nurse, and the Gaia have had a hard day at the sheepish wether bar.

I’m glad I’m not jest golfing

Most Conspiracy Theories Are Wrong

Most scientific theories are wrong, in part, because the universe is complex. Theories that have, through the Scientific Method, been demonstrated convincing, over an extended period of time, may be referred to as Laws. Generally, Laws of Physics do not change. They may, however, be scoped to appropriate values of time, space, and mass, as Newton's Laws were, relativistic ally.

Sone examples of conspiracy theories that have, to my satisfaction, been proven substantially true, include:

1. Nazi Conspiracy and Aggression, for the purpose of genocide. Yes, people suspected at the time that the Katyn Massacre was committed by the Soviets, not the Nazis. This lie was accepted, at the time, in the interest of East/West world peace. Nazi Conspiracy and Aggression, Volume II - Loc https://tile.loc.gov/storage-services/service/ll/llmlp/2011525363_NT_Nazi_Vol-II/2011525363_NT_Nazi_Vol-II.pdf

2. British Neo-Nazi sympathizer David Irving intentionally worked with others to falsify history and deny the previous for the purpose of promoting hatred. This has been proven at the highest Courts. http://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/QB/2000/115.html

2. In Soviet Russia, some Communist infiltration of the USA was planned and carried out, though obviously McCarthyism did more harm than good. https://time.com/6072014/ethel-rosenberg-revisited/

3. Mr Trump, Mr Dunham, and many others affiliated with them, motivated by hatred and greed, illegally attacked the Open Society Foundation, founded by George Soros, survivor of Nazi and Communist totalitarian influence over his native Hungary. George Soros is a loyal Citizen of the United States of America. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/26/us/politics/durham-trump-russia-barr.html

4. The Naqba, abuse of Palestinians by Israelis, also occurred, and should not have occurred, in the context of a war for independence. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nakba_Day

That's what she said - "War exposes people to things that will never go away"

Courage Yet Unseen

There are thousands of white southerners of goodwill whose voices are yet unheard, whose course is yet unclear and whose courageous acts are yet unseen.

Link to podcast here. This is all very entertaining to think about but any conclusions you might be inclined to jump to are probably mostly untrue. Most importantly, no, my ex is in no way involved in any of this. Just a horrible set of coincidences during a global pandemic and (probably soon to be canceled) World War III starting in Ukraine. In other words, happy last day of the second year of #MinnesotanICE #Pandemic #Parenting. In other words, #GetOut. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ssjx6l8sBM&list=PLXettKweDZYzXIPsikB6fVv185fAJxgNG

FLAME🕯ON🔥Saint Crispin’s Day 2021 is in October

 “Per the final video, with a clip from MEAN GIRLS starring Tina Fey (Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, 2016) and Lindsay Lohan, I have an arithmetic average number of long-estranged, far-right biological family members, barred by stipulated Court Orders from having contact with me or my children, who just have a lot of feelings about me, but have not actually talked to me in THREE DECADES. ACCORDING TO HIS OWN SWORN TESTIMONY UNDER PENALTY OF PERJURY, MY INSANE OLDER BROTHER LOST A JOB because he is apparently paranoid psychotic and/or psychopathic and told an employer, baselessly, that he was afraid that I would out him to his employer as the PARANOID PSYCHOTIC, RACIALLY CHARGED, AT LEAST QANON-ADJACENT CONSPIRACY THEORIST FREAK SHOW BIG BROTHER WANNABE that he apparently has become. For this reason, because a Rice County Judge said that my brother’s fears about being fired from his job because he was paranoid psychotic and arguably a College Humor-certifiable ”lite” racist were proven correct, I am not allowed to speak to my brother until he is 102 years old. If I do say anything defamatory about him, I can go to jail for 90 days. Seriously, that happened, in Rice County District Court. This post is not defamatory because it is 100% true.

We take no survivors. Also, to the best of our ability, no one is going to be hurt. Not even the criminal police.

Because Rice County Sheriff Troy Dunn literally insists, by unlawfully refusing to turn over public records where I am the subject, per Minnesota Statute 13, I guess it is time to tackle this problem professionally, through the Federal Government.

OK, so if Trump’s military coup succeeds, I guess I will be among the first against the wall. I am not terribly concerned about that happening right now. If it does happen, what the hell, Happy Saint Crispins day,” said Henry, ✌🏻🖕🖖🏽🤞pinkie🤬⚜️

Compellent SAN scripting and Xen VM provisioning

Here are the things referenced in my talk at the Compellent user conference.

To get the Compellent Command-Line Utility (CompCU.jar), log on to customer.compellent.com; click the Knowledge Center tab; click Downloads/Software. As of this writing, what you want is called "Command Utility 4.1 Software."

• xencreate - clone a master image to create a VM; modify that
• multipath.conf - Bits of our multipath.conf. WWID is derived from the DeviceID output of CompCU.jar "mapping show"
• prio_compellent.pl - Differentially prioritize Fibre Channel and iSCSI paths to storage
• scsi-scan - trivial, but the "correct" way to probe for new LUNs, now that /proc/scsi/scsi is deprecated; see the RHEL Online Storage Reconfiguration Guide

Selected changes in Zimbra 5.0.15

There have been over 500 changes to Zimbra since the 5.0.11 update, which was applied Thanksgiving 2008. The complete list is at Zimbra PM Web. Here are a few of the highlights of the currently installed 5.0.15:

• Fixes for import/export of addressbooks as CSV. (Private bug 34180)
• Control-S now only means "Save Draft." Previously, it could also mean "Send Message Now." The keystroke for "Send" is now Control-Enter. (Bug 34522)
• Calendar should open more quickly. (Bug 34751)
• Many fixes for the Outlook Connector. If you use Outlook, please download and install the latest version. The latest version of the Zimbra Connector for Outlook must be installed before the next server upgrade.
  
• Calendar Resources can now be configured to accept appointments for
  some of the invitations in a recurring meeting if the number of conflicts for
  the resource is within the configured limit. The Maximum Allowed Number of
  Conflicts and the Maximum Allowed Percent of Conflicts can be configured
  from the Administration console. (Bug 35259)
• Cleanup and documentation of Outlook registry settings. (See attachment to Bug 35196)
• Calendar. When there are meeting changes to a
  shared calendar, the calendar is refreshed
  automatically to show the changes. Now admins
  who manage many calendars will automatically
  get updates as they make changes and will not
  need to hit refresh to update the calendars. (Bug 6082)
• Corrections to free/busy search when exceptions to recurring meetings are involved. (Bug 34412)
• Attaching a file from a child account sent a random file. This was fixed in late January. Now that the fix for this bug is applied, we can support GroupWise-style "proxy" functionality. (Bug 33312)
• Several workarounds for iPhone and other mobile devices. (Bug 33979 and 35655 are two examples)
• Canceled meetings show up in summary if user was invited to the exception but not the parent recurrence. (Bug 34743)
