The Podcaste – Gun Sully remembers his fallen friend, Tech Sully panics about Jeeps, drones and Trump

Gun Sully worked with Adrian Kinard, a bright young father who aimed to become a police officer, he was murdered while on the job last week.

Information about the murder

Tech has had a hell of a week, with the Internet again on fire for another week.

The big news was hackable Jeeps – hackers can kill brakes and transmission on vehicles remotely

The brothers cover the recent news of a quad copter with a gun, and if that should be a felony or not. Just to annoy Gun, here is FPS Russian with a concept drone machine gun from 2012!

The brothers fully agree that Donald Trump’s hair is cotton candy made of piss, and that neither of us would trust that asshat to house sit for them, let alone run our country.

Wiretap Wednesday – Elon Musk won’t let Hillary use his orbital death cannon in Texas.

In this podcast  we discuss presidential candidates, Tech can’t tell the Atlantic from the Pacific, and we agree that Texas banning Tesla from selling cars is not a sane move from any angle. We also agree that Elon Musk may be the patron saint of the podcaste, and not just because he may have an orbital death cannon. The brothers also discuss how to disagree without ending communication.

Wiretap: (From last week) Gun and Tech gripe about technical difficulties et al

The problem with media?  The over saturation?  The bias?  Making it?  ALL OF THE ABOVE!

annnnywho…

Tech is infuriated that politicians are abusing their power over their IT personnel and throwing all concern to the wind to do whatever the heck they want to do with there Email- Jeb Bush, Martin O’Malley, Hillary Clinton all have data blood on their hands.

Gun accuses Hillary Clinton of having a kiddie porn server by using basic deduction.

Off-topic, but RIP Terry Pratchett

My favorite author died today. Sir Terry Pratchett​ was a humorist/satirist and fantasy author. He was outright robbed by other fictional wizarding school stories, but he said it himself “I think of folklore in much the same way as a carpenter thinks about trees.” The man had a sword forged from meteorites!

Terry was infinitely quotable, so here are a few of my favorites:
“Give a man a fire and he’s warm for the rest of the day, set a man on fire and he’s warm for the rest of his life.”

“Stories of imagination tend to upset those without one.”

“Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time.”

So what does this have to do with the Indefensible Middle Ground? Directly nothing, but so much of my adult life has been wrapped up in his fantasy world, the Discworld – which if you just scratched the surface was really a mirror of our own. In his world he could setup parody and satire without fear of libel. It was and will always be brilliant and creative, and showed the best of human nature, even if that “human” was a turtle that forgot it was a deity, or a troll with a cooling helmet on.

One of his most loved characters was Death, actual scythe and robe death – who hated his job, and tried to quit. So I’ll end with a quote from Death (Death never had quotes when he talked, and always in block caps):

DON’T THINK OF IT AS DYING, said Death. JUST THINK OF IT AS LEAVING EARLY TO AVOID THE RUSH

Goodbye Terry.
