Daylight Savings Ends 2023
    photosphere
Saturday night this round of Daylight Savings Time ended with our return to Eastern Standard Time.

Many consider this change in time zones a bad idea spawned from an age of agriculture and factory jobs which remains with us because of the leadership seen somewhat lacking to say the least yet appears to dominate the United States of America.

Like the rain which some avoid, I for one do not shun the dark hours and would just as soon see the seasons pass unaffected by some stupid politician.

Some places in The Republic decline to implement daylight savings time and do not have to make the "fall back" at 2 am like we did.

So like it or hate it in much of the USA daylight savings time ended last night.

I hope you are tolerating the situation as well as may be expected.

Use Your Common Sense Day 2023
woke, fugly stupid    
I'm afraid this one will be lost on all the woke dumb asses out there. Today is Use Your Common Sense Day, and seeing how the woke, transsexuals, and other morons indigeneous to the democrat way of thinking I'm afraid 'common sense' is an alien concept and well beyond their grasp.

It seems that the sloppy ass green haired teachers imparting their stupid ideology and misguided indoctrination are the absolute worst in this regard.

Lacking sound judgement in practical matters concerning activities of daily living as evidenced by the green hair and continuous moronic spouting off whereby the point is missed and the "facts" are contrived toward some sick narrative or without scientific basis judgement of course falls pitifully short of anything worthwhile. Use Your Common Sense Day is goes down on November 4 annually. Inasmuch as common sendse is such an important tool for living life being applied knowledge of simple, sensible things the woke will simply be left to go extinct as they are presently doing.

Use Your Common Sense Day woke people. I hope you will endeavor to stop being the idiotic ranting morons you presently appear.

National Accessory Day 2023
    National Accessory Day
Today is National Accessory Day which is observed each November 3rd in observance of we who love our accessories. The supplementary items come in varying sizes, colors, and effects and some of us like more of them and some of us less ...

No outfit is complete without the essential accessory which brings it all together in an effective manner.

Though any adornment worn with clothes, including shoes, bags, belts, bracelets, watches, rings, necklaces, and earrings, may be referred to as "accessories" there are those of us who prefer function with our form and therefore choose more carefully.

This results in an accessory list consisting of shurikens, shealeighs, battle axes, nunchaku, ko budo bo, tonfas, spiked maces, mattock handles, .357 magnum pistols, and other essential accoutrements of the well heeled warmonger.

Regardless, I hope you have fun with the day and try not to cut yourself.

Happy National Accessory Day.

National Deviled Egg Day 2023

Depending upon exactly when they make it to the table I either LOVE or shun deviled eggs. Case in point: one Easter Sunday dinner at Mom's house in Salley, SC we were sitting at the dinner table for about twenty minutes when it was noticed that the magnificent platter of deviled eggs had not made it from the fridge to the table.

I would also like to point out that these were made by my sister who is a culinary expert in her own right. Clearing a platter of her expert creations is commonplace in the world I know.
 

deviled eggs


Now, I am one to typically jump on a few deviled eggs as a matter of course, except when I am full of turkey, dressing, giblet gravy, cranberry sauce, and various other inclusions to a big holiday meal.

Subsequently, I didn't partake of this particular platter — and this is not speaking ill of them mind you — but it's simply not feasible for a full stomach to jump on a bunch of deviled eggs at the last minute.

Today is National Deviled Egg Day. It goes down each November second and is a time for implementing your favorite recipe in time for the next meal.

I like deviled eggs. Even in their propensity for causing noxious gas with all that sulfur contained in the yolks ...

Just don't spring them on me too late to be enthusiastic.

I will be happy to pass gas in your general direction.

All Hallows Day 2023
Karol Józef Wojtyła, Pope John Paul II    
Well we have another All Saints Day aka All Hallows Day as the holiday season officially kicks off for me personally.

The day is a Christian holiday we observe each November first.

All Saints Day is a day memorializing all Christian saints both known and unknown.

So those of us who have lived in righteousness and holiness according to Christian teachings are included in this observance.

All Saints Day is part of that tradition which encompasses All Hallows Eve (Halloween) on October 31st and All Souls Day on November 2nd.

I personally have viewed the late Karol Józef Wojtyła aka Pope John Paul II to be as close to saintly as anyone I will ever know. I had great respect for his humble respect for humanity and his teachings.

They totally eclipse the heathen appearing nasty Pope Francis who not only does not know scripture but is deficient in levitical law, priestly comportment, and adherence to Biblical canon as well.

So though I don't feel I'll ever qualify as a "saint" I guess it's time to try to be a little more in line with that faith I profess.

When stuff doesn't work
I attempted to implement libapache2-mod-geoip on Apache 2.4 for geolocation database access from .htaccess to no avail.

It seems that the geolocation module software no longer works and furthermore, hasn't worked in a fairly long time. So I gave the thing a full two weeks of configuration attempts and monitoring before I decided it was truly a waste of effort and then removed the package.

So, instead of the streamlined denial of service I sought to provide those uncivilized nations of the world I am back to the oldie but goodie trusted tried and true iptables methodology. Firewalls are indeed the mechanism for denying access on a server — and I suppose I was naive to think I could get any background razzle dazzle going on.

apache did me wrong

I suppose I just need to be satisfied with what works and not whine, moan, and groan over what used to work but no longer does so. It's just disappointing to think that I'm the only one in the equation to receive that denial of service I sought for those exploiting others — BUT this is why the software is provided "as is" ...

So that any level of half assed production HAS to be tolerated regardless of how essential you might think it to be otherwise. Deprecated packages should be removed from the installation binaries if only in an attempt not to appear as sloppy as you actually are.

It all goes to show you that we have different priorities in our implementations of technology and our good friends at Apache are perfectly satisfied to distribute software that — despite your best efforts — doesn't have a snowball's chance in Hell of working ...

Regardless of how much you may THINK you want it. Thusly, I relegate myself to the status of 'ungrateful wretch'. It's just that I sometimes regret devoting QUITE so much time to understanding the inner workings of Apache web server when there were easier implementations at my disposal that don't discard some user on a whim.

So feel free to call me a crybaby, happy Halloween and Boo wussie Apache !

Mischief Night 2023
    f around and find out
We have another Mischief Night because it's October 30, Halloween Eve. Another night for pranks and whatnot supposedly in the name of fun. Though it's strictly for laughs all too often such mess goes to far.

Not being one to engage in problematic behaviors anymore I typically abstain from rabble rousing and other trouble making for others.

Also, my ensuing old age makes me less tolerant regarding these activities.

So if you're in to it by all means go for it.

Just be aware of the possible consequences.

Entertainment does not cross the boundary into malice.

National Internet Day 2023
National Internet Day    
The internet has been around since the very late 1960s.

Indeed, the rudiments of that time cannot be fairly compared to what is going on nowadays but history records each tiny step we took toward the giant leap we enjoy now.

The internet has been overrun with people who think paywalls are the way to generate their revenue. Nothing makes it to my firewall quicker than a paywall.

Then there are the ancillary things like streaming video and such that add to the experience.

All-in-all I doubt very much that it will ever all "be free" again and indeed there are jurisdictions seeking to control even the flow of information across their networks.

Today is National Internet Day. Some call it International Innternet Day. It falls on October 29 and give us pause to consider from where we have come and to where we are going.

Tim Berners Lee is credited with it's invention. He was not the only one involved but indeed about as key a figure in it's development as they get.

I hope you'll take a moment to consider a small modicum of appreciation. Too often we take things for granted that shouldn't be.

Happy National Internet Day
Happy International Internet Day

Whichever you choose.

National First Responders Day 2023
    West Columbia Fire Truck
It's National First Responders Day, a day to recognize those heroes who swing into action when disaster strikes ...

A first responder is someone like a police officer, firefighter, or EMT, trained in urgent medical care and other emergency procedures and prepared to move quickly to the scene of an emergency, accident or disaster.

National First Responders Day is held under the asupices of Congress which declared it on October 28 in 2017.

Despite the risk these people get in there and protect the public from all manner of intrusions into their health and well being and with idiots like Joe Biden and the rest of the democrats allowing all manner of criminal element in the country we can use all the first responders we can muster. I hope you'll take a moment to thank those who have your best interests at heart in the presence of those dangers a stupid government permits because the democrats are evil and only interested in self enrichment and ruling you like the maggot they think they are.

Thank a first responder if you know one. It's hard to find people who don't place themselves first.

Happy National First Responders Day to you.

National American Beer Day 2023
Dylan Mulvaney Bud Light Asshole    

Today is National American Beer Day. It's an unofficial 'beer drinkers day' and goes down each October 27. It is to take note of the domestic lagers and ales brewed in the United States. It is not meant to cast aspersions on the fine imports like Corona, Heinekin, or Guinness.

My good friend fancies himself a brewmaster of sorts and he produces some very respectable beverages of the alcoholic brewed variety. From Mead to Wine I am confident that Sam can do it all even though he claims to be an amateur.

A late development on the brewing front are the craft beers and microbreweries which have proliferated with adherents running to the various shows carboys in hand ready to drink and be merry.

So despite the sorry white men like Dylan Mulvaney who professes to be a trans turd representing Bill Gates latest acquisiton which is the sorry product Bud Light ruined by it's idiot marketing executive the domestic beer industry remains intact and with only a few shifts in brand preferences here and there.

For example I will neither consume nor allow Bud Light to be consumed in my presence.

Yay National American Beer Day. Boo Bud Light. Boo Dylan man parading as some fake woman.

Forget Bill Gates, forget Dylan Mulvaney manbitch whore, forget Bud gd Light. Go buy some Yuengling.

National Pumpkin Day 2023
    pumpkin

Part and parcel of my favorite time of the year are the cooler weather of fall and the accompanying holiday season.

Today is National Pumpkin Day which is observed October 26 annually.

It is a food. It is a decoration. It is a construction material. It is an ingredient in lattes, pies, and other tasty contrivances.

The nutritional value of pumpkin is renoun. Even the seeds of pumpkin make delicious and nutritious snacks.

These gourds are native to Central America and Mexico but have been grown on six continents.

They have played a part in the activities of mankind for some 5,000 years.

This time of year the carved pumpkin or Jack-o-Lantern plays large in the lives of children everywhere who celebrate Halloween.

I hope you'll get out there and obtain a pumpkin — seeing how they are all over the place right now — and then use it in accordance to your own devices.

National I Care About You Day 2023
caring touch    
Our concern for others may be called "care".

The concept is an emotional outlet indigenous to conscience and principals and is found in persons exhibiting a state of inclusive being.

Today is National I Care About You Day. It is an annual October 25th observance meant to honor others sigificant to our existence.

It is a likely candidate for social media though I personally decline to go there.

It is a celebration of life aimed toward those who make our personal existence more beautiful. This makes October 25th a day to enrich both your life and that of someone else for whom you hold personal interest for whatever the reason.

Happy National I Care About You Day !

United Nations Day 2023

On October 24, United Nations Day, we celebrate the biggest mistake in history which is the anniversary of the UN Charter of 1945.

To celebrate today, we need to think about the UN globalist assholes trying to take over the entire world for the past 75 years.

We need to remember their Agenda 2020 and plans to remove national sovereignity under the guise of "sustainability".

This evolved into Agenda 2030 because the incompetent oafs couldn't pull off their quest for world domination under their original timeframe.

We need to both leave the United Nations and throw them out of New York — dead or alive — by any means necessary.

Boo United Nations and your surreptitious plans to take over the world.

Your plans are known to most nationalists and your globalist treachery simply is NOT going to succeed.
 

Get the United States OUT of the UN    Get the United States OUT of the UN
Get the United States OUT of the UN    Get the United States OUT of the UN

Slap Your Annoying Coworker Day 2023
    Will Smith Bitch Slaps Chris Rock

Here's one to which I can certainly relate.

Will Smith bitch slapped Chris Rock at the 94th oscars on March 27, 2022 after walking on stage during Rock's presentation of Best Documentary Feature prize.

The attack looked open handed and I feel certain that if real damage were intended it would have been a clenched fist.

The obvious lack of decorum not withstanding — it was all very amusing to me personally. But I'm just the kind of guy to appreciate some annoying coworker getting a good smack down.

Rock whined on live television. Smith apologized fairly quickly and was chastised by the powers that be at the Academy Awards and others elsewhere later on. The incident did, however, overshadow the remaining televised ceremony. I couldn't have been more delighted. The whole thing appeared to be revolving around Smith's alleged open marriage wife Jada Pinkett who was somewhat bald, ostensibly from an alopecia issue with which she was contending. Open marriage such as that between the Smith's likewise is never okay with me. However, as usual to each their own.

The television coverage flowed. It would be different for me personally if the Smiths were in committed relationship. Between his emancipated kids and his open marriage wife it's no wonder Will Smith has a few distressing social habits.

Today is Slap Your Annoying Coworker Day. The day was simply MADE for an episode of public drama such as the Will Smith all too public assault of Chris Rock. Keep the humor up men. I could give a rip about the woke ass Academy or their Awards.
