The [Current Year] General Political/Salma Hayek discussion thread, part 4!!!

[ATOMonkey]

I work on instrumentation and control systems.
Instrument failure has always been a problem for humans, and even more of a problem for automation systems.
This is nothing new.

So, to fix things, you make them more complicated.
But more complicated means you are introducing even more failure points.

Ah statistics, my old nemesis! By making something more complicated you reduce the chance that the entire things will fail, but increase the chance that one thing will fail.

The military fights this all the time. Old tech would often break down leaving the vehicle inoperable, but it was fairly easy to repair, and so long as nothing was wrong, it was 100% operational. New vehicles, are seldom at 100% operational capability, but nearly all of them are operating at some level of capability.

So, when the brass is telling you that your whatever needs to be at XX% operational capacity, what does that mean?

Anthony Weiner has to register as a sex offender... this does not bode well for the Weiner/Holder 2020 presidential ticket.

Thanks, PC! From the article, I found this amusing:

A New York City judge designated Weiner a Level 1 offender under the state’s version of what’s known as Megan’s Law, meaning that he is thought to have a low risk of reoffending.

I guess the judge concluded Weiner will get off the merry-go-round after this, his third trip around.

Given what he gave up for whatever sexual thrill he got from texting pictures of his junk to teen girls, I kinda think he's not done. It's more like he just can't help himself. I mean, what does he have left to lose now?

This one needs to be filed next to Hank "Guam might tip over" Johnson, Carolyn "shoulder thing that goes up" McCarthy, and Barack "57 states" Obama.

Maxine Waters, chair of the House Financial Services Committee, grilled several large bank CEOs asking what they were going to do about the explosion in student loan defaults.
2009: $155B
2017: $1,100B
2019: $1,500B (est)
The problem? The Obama administration nationalized the student loan system in 2010 as part of ObamaCare. Each of the bank CEOs stated that they have been out of the student lending business for a long time forcing Waters to change the subject.

The look on the face of the guy next to her sums it up.

 

[SheepDog4Life]

Well, according to her own biography, she "is considered by many to be one of the most powerful women in American politics today."

And it must be true... it's on the first line of her waters.house.gov biography.

So, how dare them to not answer her question. And it's not like she's been on this committee since at least 1998:

Ilhan Omar continues to play the victim card, but the NY Post isn't putting up with it:

Like I said in the other thread, give the b***h to the Taliban.

Usually Tim's language is pretty tame, but he slipped in a M'Fer.
So... minor language warning.
