Nerd problem of the day.
Mouse won’t work. Most of my keyboard doesn’t seem to work? But some of it does. Try plugging and unplugging all the different devices… But the Right mouse button still works? Hmmmm….
There is an Apple Mouse in my backpack in the next office. It’s on. Something is pressing on it. So my computer sees ‘mouse down’ no matter what I do.
Ten minutes wasted.
LOL.
( Idea for a good prank really. 🙂 )

Brought an extra coffee for the taxi driver this morning.
Instant smiles.
Doesnt take much to make people happy. Just a little evidence that we care about one another.

One of our Billable / Non-Billable Time Entry Controls.
Opens with 15 minutes. Because of 15minute minimum increments.
Press the clock position from 1-12 and set it to that many hours.
Press the +/- minutes to add or subtract 15 minutes at a time.
Press the +/- hours to add or subtract an hour at a time.
Press the TIME value to save the time.
Starting the timer sets the time to 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes have past, it adds another 15 minutes, and so on.
C1 – CASE DATA ENTRY
C1.1 Display a time entry field [ ___:____ ]. User selects the field. Time entry control is displayed (transparent background). Clock displays 15minutes. User taps + once, and value increases to 30 minutes, taps it a second time, value increases to 45 minutes. User taps time value, control closes, and entry field is set to 45 minutes: [ ___:45 ].

You know, My Mac’s don’t crash very often. A couple times a year.
On most of them I have Lazarus Form Recovery, so that if I’m writing something, and the browser (frequently) or the machine (rarely) crashes, then I just navigate back to the form, click on the icon, and boom… I’m back in business.
This time, it crashed Lazarus. Ack. And I’d just about finished a wonderful piece on Austrian Economics in the real world.
Sigh.

Thought you might get a kick out of this. Seeing the left make a connection between Libertarianism and The Aristocracy.

Eeew…
I thought those were cats.
Too many of them, too low to the ground.
Perils of urban life. 🙂

Fascinating.
Because china is an empire that is hard to keep from revolution, the government acts as did the British government when the western militia were in place in britain.
A government should fear its people.

BUT IS IT GENETIC?
Yes, conservatives are INNATELY more critical of free-riders:
“North Eurasian and Circumpolar hunter-gatherers (Hutterites and Amish, Puritans) will be more prone to altruistic punishment than those from Middle Old World culture area (Jews, Gypsies, Chinese)”
“…. *** Puritan groups seem particularly prone to bouts of moralistic outrage directed at those of their own people seen as free riders and morally blameworthy.***” -Kevin MacDonald
AND SO:
Whether it is cultural or genetic or both doesn’t matter so much, although I’m in the 60/40 camp in favor of genetic on this topic. And the pareto rule would suggest that as long as you’re in a 90/10 proposition or less, diversity isn’t a problem.
But two things are certain: a) people don’t actually assimilate outside of their gene pool, and b) our tribal differences – our tribal DIVERSITY is something very precious for everyone. Probably the ‘cuircumpolar’ in particular. Because that individualism is economically superior to group-ishness.
