Tales From The Borderlands 1 was barely tolerable but this sequel makes me want to shoot people at random. Never play any Borderlands games that are not from the main series. I hope they shred all of the characters in this one.

I just spent the last few hours reading up on how to predict weather from a rather bright meteorologist. Downloaded his entire course and started to thumb through the video. It was all great until I got to the last 5-10 chapters and found a whole disseration on global warming and climate change.

The whole whack job disseration, made by a professional in the field. This man who had gone to college to gain certification had all of the data that the college had to offer him but not the common sense to understand that:

The Earth is made up of massive levels of carbon and carbon dioxide and it has never had a problem with it in the millions of years leading up to this point.

Duh! Some serious Darwin Award level stuff here.

The reason I bring it up is something I found out years ago when living in Northern California.

At the time I was working as a computer / network technician in Humboldt County and had a room mate who was a coder and the main administrator for the main ISP of the area. He was genius level smart when it came to these things.

Here is the rub though.

One day he bought a mountain bicycle to ride around Arcata and the local area. He took it out one day and it started to malfunction. He turned it over on its handlebars to look at it and me being an ex Diesel Technician I decided to help him out. Really it was just a bicycle.

So I walk up behind him and he is growling andcursing under his breath and carrying on angry. I looked over his shoulder and found to my amazement that......

HE COULDNT USE A SCREWDRIVER!

Literally this genius level person had no idea how to use a screwdriver! Something a retarded child coud figure out with no help without introduction really.

That really, even now, floors me.

Just keep that in mind. Intellect does not equal intelligence.

In most cases it is better to be an adequite generalist than a prodigy for a specific niche. At least for overall living and survival at least.

The one this I learned, being both a computer/it and diesel/automotive technician is that you dont need to memorize everything about something to be fantastic at the pursuit. Overall you just need to know the fundamentals of something. Troubleshooting. The rest can always be looked up.

In this day and age of on-demand information there is no reason why you cant rely on someone elses genius to suppliment your own.

Learn the basics.
Learn to troubleshoot.
Learn to research.

The rest is easy.

And that is the wisdom of the Great Lord Sweat for today.

Tucker is back on the air. Episode One of Tucker on Twitter. Fortunately it can be found on Rumble as well, especially since I am banned from Twitter for my next 20 lifetimes.

This is just another of the many technologies that we could be using to generate power which was sacrificed up to the god of immoral profit margins.
