The deranged lowlife Trump pardoned hundreds of violent Jan 6 losers. 
Unbelievable.  Even some of those pardoned think the pardons are a joke:

Jason Riddle pleaded guilty to theft of government property and 
illegally protesting inside the Capitol. He was sentenced in April 2022 
to 90 days in prison.

He was struggling with alcohol in Jan 2021, and "obsessed" with Trump. 
Now he says: "I don't need to obsess over a narcissistic bully to feel 
better about myself.  Trump can shove his pardon up his a--."



But the crackdown on the greasy illegals invasion is a GREAT thing, as 
is the shutdown of DEI in the federal govt, and many of his early 
executive orders.

He pardoned patriots just like he said he would, the horror!

If he feels that life is better in prison, that's fine. However, Enrique 
Tarrio in his interview on Louder with Crowder made it clear that these 
people were offered a release if they testified against Trump or spoke 
ill of him. It's pretty clear what happened here. It's also pretty clear 
that facts don't penetrate that head of yours when they contradict the 
political beliefs you hold.

Soon, there won't be spics and niggers lining up to rape Chris Ahlstrom. 
He might soon be able to walk properly again.

Being patriotic doesn't forgive violence and aggravated assault and 
death threats to innocent people.  Many of those Jan 6 dirtbags hit 
security people and cops on the head with metal, choked them, gassed 
them, shouted 'hang Mike Pence', etc.

I can only imagine the pathetic whining if cops did the same thing to them.

Notice now that he's sober, he can't stand Trump.

1)  How could those clowns testify against Trump?  They didn't meet with
     him personally to plan the bumbling riot they participated in.

2)  since when is 'speaking ill' of someone the defendant doesn't even
     know a prosecution strategy?

Tarrio is full of shit.  How can you believe these losers?

Trump is full of shit, too.  He thinks being reelected and pardoning 
those idiots means he was in the right.  He wasn't.  And his lies about 
a "stolen election" were and always will be lies.  If anything, it was 
people loyal to Trump that tried to steal the election: fake electors 
that forged signatures, Fox News lying blabbermouths, the shameful Rudy 
Giuliani, the nutjob Mike Lindell and his lies and false data, etc.

Hey, why didn't the same clowns protest the 2024 election results?




> It's pretty clear what happened here.

Yes it is.  Mentally-impaired malcontents believed everything the 
scumbag liar Donald Trump said, and some acted upon their stupidity. And 
then they were caught and punished for it.  And now the scumbag liar 
Donald Trump has prematurely ended their punishment.




> It's also pretty clear that facts

What facts are you referring to?  You didn't provide any.  Trump didn't 
provide any.  Tarrio didn't provide any.

You concoct, in your head, the political beliefs I hold in mine.

Those who were responsible for actual crimes had their sentences 
commuted but were not pardoned. The ones who were pardoned were people 
who committed no crimes whatsoever other than being guilty of walking 
through Congress with a police escort. Enrique Tarrio, who got two 
decades, wasn't anywhere near the area that day. His is a definition of 
a political prosecution.

When we did a project for Puerto Rico we bought a couple of Spanish 
keyboards. Yes you can do mappings or weird key combinations but it is a 
PITA.

The Spanish keyboards didn't do much for our inability to speak Spanish 
but so it goes. Let them figure out the Spanglish.

The most common one would be the 🇺🇸 layout, which we use here in 🇳🇿 as 
well.

I can type all kinds of characters on that, by defining a Compose key

In the picture which one represents the real standard one?

K is by far the most common layout I've seen.  I would consider it the 
standard.

Special keyboards, which could be "daisy chained*" to the regular
keyboard, should be available but they are not.

Here is an image of the main wxMaxima window:

https://i.postimg.cc/vBpCTv6S/keyboards.png

Note on the left are a couple of panes that contain various math
characters (all Unicode).  By clicking on a character with the
mouse pointer (or with a complex keystroke shortcut) it will be
entered into the text area on the right.

But what about doing this with actual hardware?

I should be able to purchase small, specialized keyboards containing
these characters that could be plugged via USB into my main keyboard.
With this daisy chaining technique I could have all the Unicode
symbols that I require directly at my fingertips.  No more awkward
mouse entry would be necessary.

However, such specialized keyboards do not exist.  We are all stuck
with the common ordinary Qwerty keyboard hardware.

It is all a consequence of the Protestant-Catholic split.

France was a Catholic nation and was forced by the popes to adopt
the GC.

Britain, however, was Protestant and tended to reject Catholic
ideas.

So I don't need your fucking information.  I am only concerned
with the reason Unix/Linux/GNU has chosen 1752 for its default.

Yes, I know that, it's that obvious I believed that even an illiterate
like you would knew that and I didn't need to spell it.

Yes but no. France wasn't forced, but it was the good thing to do and
did it because following the Pope wasn't an issue for them. Unlike
England which preferred to be at odd with the reality than following the
Pope.

In fact, you did. You changed the subject to run like Forrest GUMP, but
I know why I wrote that. You said that Americas changed the date when it
was only a part of north America which did. The Americas were colonies of
Portugal, Spain, France and England at that time. And England was far
from having the broader part of it. And it was the only protestant part
when the other parts already switched to the Gregorian calendar.

No, you were speaking about the Americas, when your sentence concerned
only a limited portion of it. And your vision of the world reflects
exactly what I spoke in another message: as a real limited American, you
don't consider anything outside of the USA as existing. And that's the
reason you can't understand that if you belong to one of the greatest
nation of the world you are heated by the rest of the world. It's
because you consider everything outside of America as your colony, not
because everyone is jealous of you.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!  You are truly an anti-intellectual
deadbeat.

These things should concern all of us but, thanks to fucking
intellectual losers like you, we are stuck with this ridiculous
calendar.

Consider how stupid this calendar is:

* Each month has a different number of days.

* Each month has weeks of 7 days that never fit but always overlap.

It's a total fucking mess, and it affects all of us through
weird billing, delivery, payroll, holiday, and many other schedules.

There have been attempts at calendar reform in the recent past
but all have, predictably, failed due to anti-intellectual assholes
like you.

We need a calendar with regular months, commensurate weeks, and
other features to eliminate the current fiasco.

You read about it here:

https://www.cs.oberlin.edu/~jwalker/calendarReform/

https://www.forbes.com/sites/stevehanke/2018/12/20/its-time-to-change-the-calendar-once-and-for-all/

There are many other sources that describe the much needed calendar
reform.

But it is quit predictable that, because of anti-intellectual assholes
like you, reform will always fail.  We are, therefore, stuck forever
with this current calendric mess.

Thanks a lot, fucking idiot asshole.

Nice!

Check out the Iranian so-called "algorithmic" calendar. A lot of your 
concerns are solved in it. It's the best calendar that exists.

That's what's needed only when the question is, "How many days ago was 
that event?" This is not all that a calendar _conversion_ program can 
provide (mine uses such extrapolations too when needed).

When converting a calendar date recorded in some old source in Gregorian 
or Julian or whatever, to another calendar in use elsewhere to get an 
idea it was simultaneously with what events in those other places, this 
use of GC (i.e. extrapolated backward) can't be readily used.
