This Is What A Zero-Star Worthy Crash Test Looks Like

If you haven’t heard of the Ka before, you can be forgiven. It’s a teeny little subcompact that, for a while, was only available in Brazil but has since expanded to be sold in India, Mexico, South Africa, Argentina, and Europe. It’s the second-best selling car in Brazil after the Hyundai HB20, but the Latin New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) has a hell of a lot to say about it—and none of it particularly good.

This place sells some nice Disney and Star Wars rugs that don’t look childish or gauche.

Let the dulcet tones of Google’s Blob Opera ring in the holiday season with machine learning

Hark! The blobs sing! Or at least, they do in Google’s latest machine learning experiment, the awe-inspiring Blob Opera, which will see a chorus of four adorable, colorful blobs serenade you with spine-tingling operatic music. Drag a blob up or down, and you’ll change what pitch they sing in; drag them from side to side, and you’ll change the vowel sound. Each blob will also harmonize with the others, in what can only be described as magical.

Note: But the best part of the Blob Opera isn’t just the lovely harmonies or adorable characters — it’s the “holiday surprise” that’s activated by clicking the Christmas tree icons, which will give you the option to let the blobs sing any number of popular Christmas carols.

Only Response needed for that Op-Ed about Dr. Jill Biden:

It feels odd walking into the grocery store and not being annoyed by the ringing of the Salvation Army bell.

Questioning if Jill Biden should include “Dr.” in front of her name is almost equivalent to those who were outraged at Obama’s tan suit. Ah, it’s almost like old times.

In case you ever wondered why the Michelin Man is white:

Prior to 1912, tires were either grey-white or had a light translucent beige hue. Carbon was subsequently added to the rubber formula as a preservative and a strengthener.

The timing of these two news stories is interesting. I wonder why Briles decided for the announcement to be made today and I have a feeling he’s sadly going to get another shot at college ball. Liberty would be the perfect place, they have no morals and the former Baylor AD is there.

Baylor Bears officials scheduled to appear before NCAA Committee on Infractions over sexual assault scandal

Former Baylor coach Art Briles resigns from Texas high school job after two seasons

Sometimes people ask me what I have against Baylor, which I find puzzling. As if the sexual assault scandal and the Dave Bliss scandal happening at a Christian university aren’t enough. Christians proudly state they are set apart and live to a higher standard, I simply don’t see this at this Christian university. Forgive me for having some morals and wanting a Christian university to have high standards. Heck, I didn’t even mention Ken Starr. I expect the same from my alma maters. I miss the old Baylor.

I have no idea if he’s related to the competitive food eater.

The pigs, developed by medical company Revivicor, could be used in the production of drugs, to provide organs and tissues for transplants, and to produce meat that’s safe to eat for people with meat allergies.

WifeGeeding is COVID-19 negative as of Saturday morning. My results came in the next day and is also negative.

My father was an officer in the Army. He took a lot of pride in that, considering he enlisted. He once told me about the obligation of being in charge and in care of others and how he was responsible for his men’s needs first then his own, such as always allowing them to eat first. That came to mind as I read this article.

White House Staffers Among the First to Receive COVID-19 Vaccine: Report

The top staffers of the Trump administration have abetted the president’s coronavirus misinformation campaign — nearly a year long now — to minimize the threat of a pandemic that has killed nearly 300,000 Americans. As a reward, they will be among the first in line to receive the first doses of the coronavirus vaccine.

On Sunday, the New York Times reported that White House staff members, including chief of staff Mark Meadows, have been informed that they will soon receive vaccine shots. The political appointees will join high-risk, frontline medical workers as some of the first Americans to get doses of the vaccine produced by Pfizer, which was approved for emergency-use authorization on December 11. It’s not yet known how many doses will be sent to 1600 Pennsylvania, though some officials told the paper that they were concerned that it may send the wrong message if they receive some of the first shots in the elaborate drive to vaccinate the nation.

While this is a pretty low class move, I sorta respect their planning.

I easily tire of automobile Christmas commercials, especially those with a big red bow. So, I cracked up at the new Brie Larson Nissan commercial in which she pokes fun at them.

My place of employment treats us very well. I forgot to mention this story last week. After WifeGeeding tested positive for COVID-19, I emailed HR just to clarify our procedures in case I test positive. About an hour after they applied, they sent me an Uber Eats gift card with a message, “Dear Keith, Just a token of our thoughts and support. Wishing you and your wife a wonderful evening and for her speedy recovery. Pleas have dinner on us. Warmest regards, EmployerGeeding.”

One of the best things about Fridays as of late is the release of a new The Mandalorian episode on Disney+. It’s been real neat hearing how many families are making this an event. It’s so nice to have a family show that’s actually good, that everyone wants to watch, and something we all look forward to doing.

Yesterday, Disney announced ten more Star Wars series. I’m concerned they are going to saturate the market. Less is more. Just give me Ahsoka and Obi-Wan. I’m happy that John Favreau and Dave Filoni are attached to Ahsoka. Now that Hayden Christensen will reprise his role as Darth Vader, I wonder who will do his voice. James Earl Jones turns 90 next month.

Director Patty Jenkins is attached to one of the new series and announced it in a cool way.

Enchanted is one of WifeGeeding’s favorite movies, it’s got a great amount of Disney satire and Easter eggs. Now, there will be a sequel – Disney Studios President of Production Sean Bailey made official Thursday an Enchanted sequel, Disenchanted, which will star Amy Adams and go straight to Disney+.

The Texas lawsuit to keep Trump in office is absurd. It’s even more absurd 18 other state attorneys general have joined in. I’d think Trump has done so much damage to the Republican brand and the office that Republicans would want to be done with him. But this is not your father’s GOP who would actually put country, the Constitution, and God first (minus McCarthy and Nixon). Today’s GOP will sacrifice all those things to promote gun ownership, eliminate abortion entirely, and turn Jesus white and grant him American citizenship.
