AWESOME.
This is the amazing embroidery Penny Nickels sent me in our sexy swap. I am so seriously thrilled by this, I cannot even express it. :)
Penny tells me she and Johnny Murder named this Mixed Martial Arts. Even yet STILL more awesome.
She included a privacy option - it snaps closed in case we want to cover the image. I don't think that's going to happen very often. I'm thinking it can be used as an in the mood/not in the mood indicator similar to this, but so much cooler. :)
Degradation of the Internet- a Political Rant
Alright, I think it’s time to find out who my real friends are. No, I won’t block you if you disagree with me, but I definitely will if you don’t treat my opinions with the respect that I treat yours. I think the internet is going to hell, as politics have been for decades. No longer is it about an honest debate between who has the best solution, but an ongoing flamewar of people telling each other to fuck themselves if they don’t share the same beliefs. I will hereby cover some topics in my “terrorist narrow, minded, homophobic, racist, sexist, bigoted” point of view. And yes, I have been called all those things. And now without further ado…
-‘MERICA!
Who the fuck came up with that anyway? The United States was never intended to be a mindlessly nationalistic country filled with sheep. Yes, we’re not perfect, just like any country, but I, the patriot, can admit that. I think this country was supposed to be an eternal work in progress, to try out new social and political ideas and their effect on society. And being a patriot, I can understand that not all of the ideas worked, and some were definitely slowed down, but that doesn’t mean that the country as a whole is bad. And I can also admit that other nations do things better than us.
-Guns
You guys probably know me well enough to understand that I do in fact, love them. In addition, I feel like an activist for the second amendment. What some people don’t understand, is that guns really don’t kill people. It takes an actual person to pull the trigger, and assault is a BEHAVIOR, not an object. But after reading DJB’s thoughts, I can understand where he’s coming from. It is not the gun that is the problem, but the user of said device. I do think that some people that shouldn’t buy guns do anyway, and bans wouldn’t actually work. Just look at the black market, or “underground economy.” People that really want a gun will get one some way or another, even if it’s through illegal means. And they don’t even have to use a gun, right? I’ve heard stories of people getting killed by gangs using railroad ties, and you can’t forget knives. If abiders of the law are unarmed, then it’s a lot easier to stab them, correct? In addition to this, carrying does make a difference. Just look at Switzerland- they arm and train their civilians with automatic weapons, and they still maintain the lowest crime rate of any civilized nation. And as a closer example, Washington D.C. had a higher crime rate than Iraq at one point. But if we look back at Switzerland, we’ll find that they are responsible with their firearms. They don’t go on nearly as many killing sprees due to the fact that they would get cut to shreds with all the assault weapons everyone is carrying in public. And frankly, if somebody pulled a weapon on you, which item would you rather have? Your fist or a pistol? Oh yeah, and I will pull the half of the second amendment that nobody pays attention to out: “…the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.” IT has been said that it is the last opportunity to defend yourself against tyranny.
-Using Death as a Sick Punch Line
The Holocaust, 9/11, Pearl Harbor, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Dark Knight shooting, Columbine, etc. were all tragedies for sure, and people tend to forget about that. At my school, I constantly hear this drug-infused kid joking about all of them. Yes, death is a natural thing, BUT SURE AS HELL NOT WHEN SEVERAL THOUSAND ARE KILLED IN ONE INCIDENT! I don't care what country it takes place in, or who they are, or what their beliefs are, but the dead deserve some fucking respect.
Tl;dr, right? Well, thank you for your time if you actually read it, and if not, then whatever. All I ask is that this be taken seriously. That’s pretty much all I have to say right now, and if you’re uncomfortable with having a conservative that’s been quiet long enough as a contact, then I bid ye farewell.

3-d Diagram showing how internet marketing works. In traditional marketing, you head for 'identification', but then quickly go into 'commodification', where you stop making money.
In internet marketing, though, you can actually reverse the process.

I can’t remember ever seeing a pharmacy advertisement billbuard that was remotely as ridiculous as this one. I mean, which somewhat intelligent human being would ever even think of filling expensive advertising space with their whole collection of worthless Internet domains (which all point to the same pages by the way), let alone use such an absurd caption for that list?
The Comfy Princess mini doll set. I bought it online when it was released on October 19. There are 12 Disney Princesses plus Vanellope, all wearing casual clothing. Some of them are also holding accessories. The Princesses are 6.5 inches tall and have neck, shoulder, elbow, hip and knee joints. They are far more posable and detailed the previous mini dolls from Disney Store or Disney Parks, which an inch shorter at 5.5 inches. These are more expensive as well, being about 8 dollars each. The set sold out the weekend it came out, came back and is now sold out again. I really love these dolls, even with their mostly goofy expressions.

My internet has been exceedingly unreliable and wonky lately... it has not been at all easy to get online and stay there.
So, if you need me.. um.. well..
Anyway, happy belated thanksgiving and I hope I can be back soon.
I was invited to spend two days at Europe’s most comprehensive IoT Event. This leading forum focused on case studies that show today’s Industry and Enterprises leveraging IoT technologies to transform their business through creating value and efficiencies.
The Internet of things (stylised Internet of Things or IoT) is the internetworking of physical devices, vehicles (also referred to as "connected devices" and "smart devices"), buildings and other items—embedded with electronics, software, sensors, actuators, and network connectivity that enable these objects to collect and exchange data.
"Things," in the IoT sense, can refer to a wide variety of devices such as heart monitoring implants, biochip transponders on farm animals, electric clams in coastal waters,[16] automobiles with built-in sensors, DNA analysis devices for environmental/food/pathogen monitoring or field operation devices that assist firefighters in search and rescue operations.[18] Legal scholars suggest to look at "Things" as an "inextricable mixture of hardware, software, data and service". These devices collect useful data with the help of various existing technologies and then autonomously flow the data between other devices. Current market examples include home automation (also known as smart home devices) such as the control and automation of lighting, heating (like smart thermostat), ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC) systems, and appliances such as washer/dryers, robotic vacuums, air purifiers, ovens or refrigerators/freezers that use Wi-Fi for remote monitoring.

All dolls fully deboxed. It turns out that the dolls with the larger shoes (boots or sneakers) can free stand, although not very stably. If you take the rubber bands off the shoes of the other dolls, they can also free stand, but are even less stable than the ones with large shoes. For the photos with the dolls standing, I used small Kaiser stands. The Princesses are posed in order of their movie releases.
Deboxing of the 5 dolls on the long bench: Rapunzel, Snow White, Vanellope, Aurora and Ariel. Their elbow joints have much greater range of movement than the 12 inch Classic Princess dolls. Their knee joints are internal, with 1 click forward, and 3 back. They can bend their knees back a full 90 degrees, so can sit up with their feet on the floor and their legs together. Ariel had her legs bent backward and splayed out awkwardly in the box pose. Her legs can't stay together right after I unboxed her, so I crossed her legs at the ankles. None of them can free stand, except for Vanellope.

I feel that they are worth $100, but of course $75 (due to a 25% off online sale) is a much better price. They really look almost as detailed as Classic 12 inch dolls, with much better hair styling, clothing and articulation than the old mini dolls. I especially like the improvement in their arms and legs.

Just after sunrise 90019 passes Rowell near Milnthorpe with 6M03 0520 Shieldmuir-Warrington additional mail vans.
Vanellope and all the Disney Princesses featured in Ralph Breaks the Internet, from both mini doll sets. They are posed standing side by side in the inner box of the Vanellope with Princesses from Ralph Breaks the Internet Doll Set. There are total of 14 Princesses, arranged in order of the release of their original animated movies. The Princesses are supported by Kaiser doll stands, Vanellope is free standing.
I just received the Anna, Elsa and Vanellope Mini Doll Set from the Disney Store today (January 8, 2019). It arrived in perfect shape. It consists of 6.5 inch mini dolls of Anna and Elsa in casual clothing, and a 3 inch posable figure of Vanellope. Anna thankfully doesn't look as goofy as in the stock photos, but she isn't as cute as she could be. I show the dolls boxed, during deboxing, and fully deboxed. I also show them joining the rest of the comfy Princess mini dolls from the Vanellope with Princesses from Ralph Breaks the Internet Doll Set.
This set is not in stores yet, and is already sold out online. It was released in the US Shop Disney site on January 1, 2019.
