Thank God for my Sweet Pea and Russia.
Two years ago it was obvious that being in alliance with the USA is a very bad way to be. Haven’t seen a thing to change my mind. Just what I see strengthens my thoughts about it all…
The East just watches as the Empire eats itself alive…
Once caught in the whirlpool, no way back except down the drain…
Fun times still ahead…

We knew it had a bad channel of memory and it had quirks that weI could live with. It is what you get with a cheap made from used parts motherboard and we had to live with it. I was happy (Sveta just wants it to work and I like to test everything) and had learned so much more than I ever thought I would want to learn about a server dual processor X99 board. And..that held true when it shelled out. We have now gone with a brand new X99 single CPU Motherboard…
Now that is what I am talking about, super duper…
I loved that Chinese X99 Dual Board and it was fast as a stripped ass ape and it was good to learn on. It ended up as my main machine. So what happened?
I thought a video card had gone out and was working upon that premise. That was an issue, but it was not the card that had been bad, it was the motherboard whom shorted out in the lower sector of the board. The area that had been bad from the beginning and did not allow RAM to be installed. We should have returned the board. Yet, that is what makes buying Chinese direct so hard at times. The cost to ship is horrendous and more than the item you bought…
Therefore, I plowed onward and used it as a learning experience and how to keep a project flying. It flew and flew and was a powerhouse of a board. We had everything we desired in RAM, CPU’s, cooling system and whatnot’s. So onward we went and finally, Oops…
Now, while it is interesting to want to switch horses at times, We had peripherals that were too hard to pass up, as in leave behind and I needed to transfer them to a new system. That was a issue that made getting a new board kinda almost too hard. I did not want a dual X99 Motherboard again. We did not want to test the gods, so to say. Thus, we grabbed a X99 brand new single CPU X99 Motherboard made in Russia. Moved everything but one CPU and one cooling fan to the new system…
(Got a new horse that we could use the same saddle and bridle upon…)
We were able to install within a new old case we had and found ourselves with a faster system. I did not think that possible, yet it is and well it is simply faster. This board only has one bottleneck and that is in trying to use real USB 3 at the front of the board connected to the JUSB (? Jack-USB) connection and it is actually a USB 3 connection (?), except it is slow as molasses…
Yet it works and is usable. Except I have USB 2 hub coming and I suspect it will run circles around this USB 3 setup. While the connection works and fits what is needed, it just seems to be a cheap way to give fake USB 3 front connections…
So USB 3? We have four at the rear and they work fantastic. Very fast…
How could it be wrong? (Well except money lost on original purchase after a few years.)
Old DEPO computer case, new motherboard, same RAM, Same CPU, Same cooling, Same power supply. same video card and same everything, just minus a CPU and one cooling fan. We now have backup for our CPU and cooling when it decides to do like so many things in our lives do, sell out when we need it most…
At the time the West desired Ukraine to be disarmed of Nukes and can you imagine what the West would say now!
Yes, the West is very very very sick…

We’ve got no way of knowing how much Trump will accomplish in his second term, but he is off to a really fun start.
His reasoning seems clear enough. There is not going to be a quick solution to the conflict in Ukraine; the US economy will waddle on at a leisurely pace; even the fight against migrants is unlikely to end up in a resounding victory.
So instead, Trump has decided to ‘reshape’ the world. That’s right – he wants to redraw the political map in his own style. A new, vibrant and colorful globe to replace the dull and gray old one. All of his plans are over the top and eccentric – and totally unworkable. This is what he’s got in mind:
1. First, the ‘super-sizing’ of America: we start by taking the backwater countryside called Canada (why not? It will make for a nice and big US state, plus the whole continent would belong to the Yankees now); then seize Greenland from Denmark (don’t exactly know what it is, but they’ve got plenty of land).
2. Renaming the Gulf of Mexico (for no particular reason; just because the US is the biggest kid on the block; also, the current name makes people think about the Latino population).
3. Weaponizing Elon Musk and using him to take down ‘rapist Starmer’ and ‘fool Scholz’ on X. A simple plan, and at zero cost: “Just show them who is the boss of this house”. Better yet, why not add the UK itself to America’s potpourri list of territorial claims?
This way, before he is even sworn in as the new president of the United States, Donald Trump has scored several major victories online. And, most importantly, he has formulated his own agenda on a cosmic scale. And, to quote one of Mikhail Bulgakov’s characters, of ‘’quite cosmic stupidity’’. But this is only a surface level analysis because eventually, as we all know, stupidity always triumphs. So it’s irrelevant that none of the designs outlined above can actually be realized. Not now, not ever. It is irrelevant that the silly nicknames given by the Americans to their inept European lackeys will fade from memory within a week. What matters is that the last few days of the dementia-riddled old man’s stay in the Oval Office are following the script conjured up by the orange wizard, Donald Trump.
Anyway, the newly formed Trump, Musk and Sci-fi Brothers LLC, has its operations up and running.

Не знаю уж, что сумеет сделать Трамп во время второго срока, но начинает он нескучно.
Расчёт понятен: быстрые успехи в урегулировании украинского конфликта весьма сомнительны, экономика США живёт своей неспешной жизнью и даже борьба с мигрантами не сулит оглушительных побед.
Поэтому он просто решил переделать мир. Именно так – создать новую, трамповскую политическую географию. Новый яркий и цветной глобус, который сильно отличен от нынешнего скучного и серого. Все идеи сугубо прожектёрские и абсолютно нереальные. И тем не менее.
1. Сначала гигантское приращение Америки: забираем эту деревенскую Канаду (а что, будет хороший огромный штат, тогда весь континент принадлежит янки) и заодно Гренландию у Дании (непонятно, что это, но земли там до фига).
2. Переименование Мексиканского залива (неважно зачем, просто Америка старшая, а залив по какому-то недоразумению напоминает о латиносах).
3. Борьба с «насильником Стармером» и «придурком Шольцем» руками Илона Маска в Х. Цель проста, а затрат никаких – знай, кто в доме хозяин. Плюс Британию до кучи можно включить в суповой набор территориальных притязаний Пиндостана.
Таким образом, ещё не став новым президентом США, Трамп одержал несколько важных виртуальных побед. А главное, сформировал свою повестку дня космического масштаба и, как говаривал незабвенный проф. Преображенский, космической же глупости. Но это только на первый взгляд, тем более что в исторической схватке Филиппа Филипповича за чистоту клозетов у нас победа осталась всё-таки за Полиграфом Полиграфовичем. И неважно, что ничего из названного ни сегодня, ни завтра не случится, а обзывалки для глуповатой европейской обслуги забудутся через неделю. Важно другое: последняя декада пребывания маразматика в Овальном кабинете идёт по сценарию оранжевого кудесника Трампа.
Короче, компания Trump, Musk and sci-fi brothers, LLC приступила к активной работе.

It is amazing and interesting to watch and sadly, Americans either want to drag it all down and or don’t even know what the hell is going on…
Interesting…
Panama, Canada, Greenland and that is just a warm up to what will happen…
Canada is in trouble and will be annexed and or simply just join the new union that desires to be formed as the Empire closes the doors against the world…
Mexico is next and better get ready and or as with Canada, just go quietly into the night…
Europe is being destroyed as you read this and I mean purposefully destroyed, as in all to plan. It is a kinda, we can’t drag it to us physically, so you will have the European chaos as a present. After we take all the talent and businesses…
Middle East is being stirred like a hornets nest…
South America? Gonna be interesting to watch as South America becomes annexed by the USA…
It is all Plan D and I have talked about this very thing. Original plans have failed, panic has set in and they are scared…
They? Good question…

PS: Better listen to what Trump is spouting about. He is doing his part to lay the ground work for the game they are playing…

McDonald’s is the latest company to roll back diversity goals
Four years after launching a push for more diversity in its ranks, McDonald’s
is ending some of its diversity practices, citing a U.S. Supreme Court decision that outlawed affirmative action in college admissions.
McDonald’s is the latest big company to shift its tactics in the wake of the 2023 ruling and a conservative backlash against diversity, equity and inclusion programs. Walmart
, John Deere, Harley-Davidson and others rolled back their DEI initiatives last year.

Gotta love it…
Ask why and ask why some more. Then tell them that you won’t buy from them because they pissed all over what is right and moral…
