The giant brains of New York University ($100,000/year to attend?) are going to reverse climate change. In “Follow the Carbon: Communicating the Path to Net Zero,” they will be assisted by experts from the pro-Hamas encampment at Columbia, from the folks at PBS who never received any federal taxpayer funds, and from politically neutral NBC. Following this meeting of experts people can sit through the Global Climate Change Film Festival. Here’s the video display these intellectually superior humans put together. Note the failure to raise the window shade sufficiently to uncover some of the segments and the Blue Screen of Death in the lower left corner:
Based on their demonstrating success at mastering the technology of video display, who is ready to give these technocrats the $50 trillion in funds that they seek for helping our beloved planet?
I really look forward to the academic class transitioning to manual labor once we deport all the illagals. First we are gonna cut off the government spigot that inflated education costs. If the Chinese wanna give these goofs jobs, let them work in China. Red Cina is behind all this climate crap, as well as the racism crap (MLK monument chinee).
I should clarify — the academic class is already working at the behest of foreign powers to destroy Western civilixation. It is time for Americans to stop sanctioning these fifth colimnists.
Seems like they need to read Sussman’s “Software Design for Flexibility: How to Avoid Programming Yourself into a Corner”. To be fair, the blue-screen-of-death is only 1/9 of the screen real estate. And for those of you not modern enough to have a search engine: this meeting was April 18, 2023 (trigger alert–the indeterminate progress spinner on the video is a rainbow–not joking):

So, this display has been running a BSOD for 28 months? Not bad, except for the meeting is over.
Ah, memories of Washington Square Park–the smell of chestnuts roasting in pushcarts, and also the smell of moss/oregano/? that the curbside weed dealer just sold a lit-chick playing “Blowin’ in the Wind” on her tape WalkMan.
Funny side notes, “Deep Throat” (follow the carbon, er money) is also Episode No. 2 of the X-Files. And a NSFW movie. How deep is this conspiracy? 🙂
> $50 trillion in funds
It’s going to take $50 trillion in funds to just to fix Michigan’s roads, from observations on our summer vacation.
From the Fluid History Department, a “Trust No. 1” Quick Fact Check:
Time 26:20 (Randomly sampled–there is no way I could watch this whole video.)
History major and PBS science, technology, and *aerospace* reporter (not the actor) Miles O’Brien:
“We can do this [Ed. fix climate change]! Just like when we went to war in the 1940s, and they called up Henry Ford and they said, ‘We need some bombers!’, and within about a week he had turned a plant in Ypsilanti from turning out Thunderbirds [Ed. built starting in 1955] to B-29s [Ed. produced mostly in Wichita, Seattle, Marietta]…It wasn’t a Thunderbird, whatever they did…Model A’s [Ed. built 1903-04, 1927-31]…whatever they were doing. The point is we got a war-time footing…”
Where to start…Wikipedia says:
> Willow Run, also known as Air Force Plant 31, was a manufacturing complex in Michigan, United States, located between Ypsilanti Township and Belleville, built by the Ford Motor Company *to manufacture aircraft* [Ed. emphasis mine], especially the Consolidated B-24 Liberator heavy bomber. Construction of the Willow Run Bomber Plant began in 1940 and was completed in 1942.
Weeks, hours, years to ramp up production? Models? Accurate dates? Oh, who cares…I’m glad that display BSOD’d. Some software bugs are net positive.

“Did we give up when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?”
“Um, the Germans didn’t bomb Pearl Harbor…”
“Don’t stop him, he’s on a roll.”
“Hell no!”

You got it wrong. The BSOD popped up just a few seconds after Greta Thunberg went live. Even Windows had enough of her!
> Even Windows had enough of her!
They should have been running Greta Approved Linux [tm].
Aww, how could anyone get tired of this cute little face:

I love the keffiyeh and (microplastic shedding) fleece hat combo. Someone needs to put her on an empty oil tanker back to NYU and have her tell them to put the globe-heating monitors in “Energy Saver” sleep mode.
Looking at Dr. Holland’s educational credentials and research work list, I wonder what level is his fluid dynamics research is at? And what s he doing at Courant, which supposed to be about mathematics? I hope that he is not indicative of other fluid dynamic researches in the US, this is highly technical mathematical and experimental area of study which has huge defense applications.
