LOL! I've hiked around and above that thing many times. Lived in the neighborhood right below it one year. Watched in amazement as R/C glider pilots flew their models endlessly in the updraft that happens there on the eastern edge of the mesa. Had a boss for a time whose husband was some sort of dude there with the super computers.

A couple of years ago, on vacation, I rented a black Mustang convertible at Denver airport. Stayed at the Boulderado with my wife. A lifelong friend, my freshman college roommate from there, rendezvoused with me, and I drove him flat out, top down, up the empty road that leads up to NCAR. It was just a rental, but not bad.

I don't really like the I.M. Pei building, though. Not enough windows. I mean, the views up there are incredible, and he imprisoned the scientists inside a tribute to his architecture instead of allowing them to actually enjoy the magnificent place where they were doing their work. Typical modernism. Not good.

But I've hiked every trail behind it.

I must agree, even though it is apparent that my agreement will offend some other commenters here.

I met followers of "The Dead" back in the late 1970s and early 1980s. They were stupid, barefoot-type hippies in Boulder, Colorado. They were travelers, following the band.

The Dead would eat at a particular restaurant that I also enjoyed on Pearl Street.

I never, ever have found any of their music the least bit interesting or moving. So, why did those barefoot hippies love them so much?

Why also did actual bankers that I worked with decades later like The Dead? I couldn't figure it out.

The Grateful Dead thing is, to me, a mystery. BTW, nobody I have ever met or worked with who was a Dead fan impressed me at all, and some of them were actual problems. Not a group of impressive people, and not an impressive band at all.

But, ya know, it's kind of like how I have zero respect for Steve Sailer's apparent love of shit like The Ramones and garbage punk. I mean, WTF? No taste. Crap-on-the-mind-you-moron.

It's good to have these numbers in your head along with a rough sense of price levels.

SF > NYC gap clearly on account of SF's tech concentration. In the more sci-fi'ish scenaros could suddenly scale 10x if AGI happens quickly.

"Showbizzy" Dubai, Miami a rung lower. Appropriate they cluster.

Singapore top of the East Asian heap. Otherwise, underperform their raw IQ (well observed pattern nationally, and as we see, city-wise as well). Tokyo isn't doing great, relative to its prior reputation. But does explain its cheap prices and why it's become a major digital nomad hub.

EU has distinct clusters: $4-4.5k tech/central hubs; $3-3.5k second tier/post-industrial North-West Europe; $1.5-2.5k Med and ECE. Top Poland and Czechia cities (Warsaw, Krakow, Prague) do $500 better than Hungary and Slovakia (Budapest, Bratislava). All as expected. Romania is now on the level of Hungary broadly.

Moscow, Budapest, Shanghai, Beijing, and Taipei all in $1.5k cluster.

Istanbul and Athens quite close to each other. Greeks and Turks are one people.

Poorer Chinese cities like Harbin = Russian millioniks and Minsk and Latam centers, and Bangalore.

Top Indian urban centers are now doing rather well! relative to stereotypes and prior performance. Even Kolkata, known as a relative dump, is at the level of Ukrainian millioniks and Saigon.

Large diversity within Africa. Nairobi, capital of Africa's highest IQ state, well-functioning Kenya, is 4x Lagos, Nigeria's biggest city, Nigeria being a very dysfunctional country. This is not something that "anti-racist" White liberals ever take an interest in.

India doing much better than Pakistani cities, predictably. But even Dhaka (Bangladesh) is too!

I think the position of Tehran and Caracas is very important. I increasingly think the issue Venezuela and Iran have isn't even so much the authoritarianism, but that these are countries that have previously had exposure to middle income consumption standards, and are now... BELOW DHAKA. Former Second Worlders who now have to COPE with getting relegated to Third World status in terms of consumer power.

Honestly, Egypt underperforms HARD even relative to the meager expectations I had of it. (Makes it hard to take Noah Smith's bullishness on it seriously).

Something all the hard underperformers - Egypt, Pakistan, Iran, Venezuela - have in common: Parastatal structures that own much of the economy and loot new businesses, and inefficient subsidies for fuel and essentials.

Moscow is still around the level of Budapest and Taipei. "Not great, not terrible." It would be much better off without Putinism. But this isn't the kind of underperformance relative to potential that creates genuine grassroots hatred towards the regime. And in fact some of the lost consumer power is "substituted" for by the fun Muscovites experience in following their military accomplishments (Adam Smith and Tooze have written about this phenomenon). I kind of suspect Moscow will have to go down to current millionik level to see color revolutionary sentiment develop.

Switzerland is a Rivendell-like idyll. That's the impression I got in my one week there and the stats seem to back it up (top dozen cities: US tech hubs SF and Boston; one offshore dark money hub; otherwise just a list of the 100-500k Swiss cities).

What you said exactly. I have trouble thinking of anything unconstitutional or unprecedented that Trump has done, other than simply enforce the written law of the United States. He'll do something, some district court judge issues a restraining order, and Trump abides by it. It goes up through the courts, as it is supposed to, and he abides by the final decision. Sam Malone considers LBJ and Barack Obama to be more worthy of being entrusted with power than Trump. Well, LBJ faked the Gulf of Tonkin incident to gin up an intervention in Vietnam, and Obama ordered his DOJ to stage a coup against a duly elected president. Hell - at a considerably lower level of resistance than what Trump is encountering, Eisenhower had already sent the 101st Airborne to invade Arkansas (and he didn't even have a written law backing him up).

A sidequest is the expansion of Greater Israel to the real home of the modern Jews, that being Ukraine and western Russia.

That is not their home. They were forced to the Pale by an idiot Tsar and his poorly thought out plan that led to Jewish emigration to Western Europe and America.

Jewish population of US 5,700,000
Jewish population of Russia 155,000
Jewish population of Ukraine 45,000

Ukraine population 2022 41,000,000

Even you tripled the Jewish population of Ukraine they still wouldn't be 1% of the population.

The Jewish population of Ukraine will not triple or double when the war is over. It will be the same or less. My guess is that it will slightly shrink as Jews on both sides simply take off to Israel.

Anyone who believes in "Moving back to the Pale" theory will be completely wrong. That is up there with Jewish space lasers as far as conspiracy theories go. It's a stupid theory that White nationalists have adopted as a poor rationalization to support Putin. They *want to believe* Putin is fightin' them Jews even though he describes Netanyahu as a close friend and praised Russian Jews in a 2024 speech. Funny how that speech was completely ignored by his White nationalist supporters as they are really just children that like to make up their own reality. They want a new Hitler so badly they will make one in a 5'1 dictator who helped his Jewish chef become a billionaire private warlord and put him in charge of the main front in 2022.

True, but since it resulted in his most notorious debacle, maybe being slow, boring, and methodical was the ticket for Monty's success. When he tried "exciting" or "daring" he just got into trouble.

Or rather, he got his troops into the trouble that he himself was spared. But then maybe the key to Monty's success was that his phlegmatic temperament matched the national phlegmatism of his troops. The British were notoriously slow to advance, but once ground was taken, were notoriously difficult to shift out of it.

Monty's troubles mostly stemmed from instances when he commanded—or his actions (or inactions) influenced—allied non-British troops. The highly mobile Americans in particular didn't appreciate Monty's slow magisterial style.

Herr Reaktion, I’m afraid to inform you that the “Nationalsozialistische Deutsche ARBEITERpartei” has taken an… unexpected… approach to labor disputes…

Martinez Clips @martinez_clips
Dec 27

In 1936 in Nazi Germany, employees won 189 out of 251 cases tried in courts. That's 75.2%.

This clearly shows that NS Germany was an anti-business "labour" state that nearly always favored the workers in disputes with employers.

Marxist "labour-worker" supremacy against businesses and business owners was the basis of NS ideology.

INSIDE Germany a revolution has been going on. It is a real revolution. Let no one dismiss it as a mere 'collectivist tendency,' or as 'rearmament regimentation.' For it displays various 'red ' symptoms which alarm the capitalists just as much as they please the radical members of the brown shirts. Many of these members, significantly, are former Communists. Has Germany, by this process, reached the halfway house of socialism? Is Germany advancing towards the same goal as Soviet Russia, only by a different route? In short, how much real meaning has the word 'socialism' in 'National Socialism'?
As a newspaper correspondent in Germany last summer, I had an opportunity to examine at close hand one of these 'red' symptoms. Sitting with a German workman in a deserted café, I listened to the varied complaints of a man who handled a shovel day in and day out on the construction of the great auto roads outside Berlin. He bewailed his low pay (about 23 marks a week), the short life of his ersatz clothing, and his inability to afford a KDF ticket. He even showed reluctance to rejoice over the fact that he had work to-day whereas he was jobless before Hitler entered into power. But he was triumphant on one point.
'One thing Hitler has done — he's made the foremen treat us better. Years ago they could call me a swine and get away with it. Now it's different. Let me tell you a story. Two months ago we had a tough foreman. He used us roughly. One day I was standing resting on the job when he yelled at me, "Trees don't work!" I said I was tired and wasn't a tree. Then he called me a swine for talking back and said he'd get me fired. I went to the Labor Front office and filed a complaint against him. A week later the Labor Front fired the foreman. Yes, the bosses speak softly and kindly to us. They ask us to do this or that, rather than order us.'
Any observer in Germany can multiply such stories a hundredfold. Moreover, the fact that the foreman was disciplined without recourse to one of the famous labor courts illustrates that the courts merely bring to the surface a few episodes of a constant 'social justice' process. The trend of figures on labor-court cases certainly commands attention. In 1936, employees won 189 out of 251 (75.2 percent) cases tried.
Reading reports on these cases, one gets a pretty good picture of how the Nazi revolution is affecting labor relations. A banker in the town of Lüneburg in lower Saxony received a fine of $125 and costs from a labor court because he paid salaries below the official rates, refused to pay overtime to which his employees were entitled, and had 'shown[...]

Since it'll probably come up, a few words about low-scoring Hitler and Rommel...

Decade-ago Wiki apparently listed Hitler as a commander in three battles: Battle of Moscow, Battle of the Bulge, Operation Barbarossa, all of which it rated as "defeat" for him. Leaving aside whether Hitler was really a military commander in the WAR sense or whether those all ought to be called "defeat", if Wiki is going to call him a commander for those he ought also to be considered a commander for a number of other major battles and campaigns, both wins and losses. So this is another case where the result is an artifact of Wiki's idiosyncratic selectivity.

For Rommel, the all_battle_strength file gives these nine battles:

Battle of Alam Halfa
Battle of Bir Hakeim
Battle of Gazala
Battle of the Kasserine Pass
First Battle of El Alamein
Operation Overlord
Second Battle of El Alamein
Siege of Tobruk
Battle of Arras

It rates them all as defeats for him except Gazala, Kasserine, and Arras. (Present day Wiki calls First El Alamein a draw rather than defeat.) Seven of the nine are in North Africa, where Rommel was fighting in a Lee-like situation with very constrained supply against superior odds. Eking out 2 or 2½ wins in those circumstances is not bad, but as with Lee, the WAR system doesn't reward this much.

Crediting Rommel only with the relatively minor Battle of Arras during the whole of the France campaign, where Rommel's reputation was first made, seems like another case of Wiki's idiosyncratic selectivity.

Rommel and Lee are kind of inverse of the Montgomery's case. Where the latter only fought in easy wins, the former had to fight a lot of near-losses against difficult odds. Combine that with some corrections for Wiki's omissions, and Rommel and Lee would look better and Monty worse. But that still wouldn't overcome the lost-the-war vs. won-the-war bias.

When the same thing happens here (and it will because the demographics are baked in the cake, even if we were to have honest vote counts LOL), no one will fight back.

Yeah, so what are you going to about it?

That's a good point, Y.A.A., one that came to mind to me when I agreed with Achmed. I had the same idea that you just mentioned, but I realized that the gist of Achmed's point is that Hollywood people should not be important.

They are in fact becoming less important as the communication landscape changes. The more people like Achmed state the real, true unimportance of those people, unimportance to what we hold true, the less influential those people will become.

I hope the trend among younger generations continues to diminish the fakery that has "done pretty well over the last 70 years."

Call Hollywood people unimportant, shout that from the rooftops and change reality back to reality. Ignore them. Ignore their schlock.

Right on, BTW about how so many people see and describe the world through movies. Movies have competition now. Maybe fewer young people will be describing things as movies as their attention is focused elsewhere in the vast media landscape that is increasingly accessible. (The challenge now it to prevent the same culprits from taking complete control of that too!)

Is there a coordinated effort to give the Jews a globally scattered and therefore unpredictable terror attack for every day of Hannukah?

It is not a coincidence that EVERY group under the sun except Whites may have their own social clubs, professional organizations, etc., whether at colleges and universities or otherwise. Nobody bats an eyelash over the Black Students' Association or the Jewish [fill in the blank] professional organization, but try to imagine a comparable White group in this Zeitgeist. Yon can't because it is strictly verboten.

And it’s not tangential to note that the real issue is preventing white racial consciousness rather than just being grammatically mean to Whitey.
 

Likewise, if Steve grasped the issue correctly, it would logically require that “White” and “Black” should both be capitalized because they are both unique racial groups.
 

And if “white” isn’t recognized as a unique racial group, as you claim, who is doing all the “white supremacism” I keep reading about in the MSM? Seems like they know who "whites" are, and use their Megaphone tell their readers stories about them.

I'm not interested in chopping logic or bulls*&ting over hypotheticals with a f*#king moron like you, a**hat. I'm not interested in anything you "think" or have to say.

F**k off.

Quite right. The primary function of the FBI is to cover for the government.

The FBI should never be trusted.

I would've liked a stop at Diego Garcia because of its remoteness. But it was never on our itinerary.
