MACDONALD: I Asked Grokipedia About Wikipedia

Elon Musk’s xAI continues to generate things for the world to wade around in. The latest is Grokipedia. Musk’s answer to Wikipedia, but driven, not by humans. Grokipedia is generated by AI, which, according to Wikipedia, has included significant content from Wikipedia. Given that AI gets its fuel from across the internet, that makes sense. … Read more

Almost There … A Few More Updates on the Updates

You will now find the publication date for content everywhere. It appears on the home page, the category pages New England, Nation, World), the State Pages (NH, VT, ME), and the New Hampshire MicroGrok pages. As reported in the last update (update!), we are switching ad packages. That happened today but might take a little … Read more

So, About that New Web Site of Yours …

The latest iteration of The ‘Grok went live when the Trump assassination attempt story broke, so there was a lot going on while we were working on getting this thing up and running. I was updating both the old and new sites with the Trump story because we’d already moved the data for the live … Read more

The Next Generation of ‘Grok! …

One of my first acts as the Big Cheese (the only cheese), aside from having to write or find a lot more content, is to resolve a handful of wants and needs that have been niggling at the edges for (what feels like) ages.

Gunstock Mountain Resort – Do You Know What the Streisand Effect Is?

I’ve been doing some digging into Gunstock Mountain Resort (there, that should catch the attention of their Critical Mention service!) which is also known as the Gunstock Ski Area (or just plain “Gunstock”).  While presenting themselves to the public as a “ski company”, they really are just a mere political subdivision of Belknap County which, … Read more

Last Chance — Support ‘Grok by Supporting RKBA

Having failed at his attempt to undermine voting rights, and throw money at ‘infrastructure’, President* Biden is now taking aim at guns, so to speak. Lacking support in Congress, he’s likely to be limited to issuing executive orders making it illegal for ‘rogue gun dealers’ to do things that are already against the law. But … Read more

The Lost “Episodes”

missing in actionWhen our aging site first suffered the ill effects of a link hijacker we did a restore that required backing up a week’s worth of published posts. When it was over I discovered that through no fault but my own (for failing to confirm the exact restore date) we lost days worth of content.

March 26th was erased.

Well, I found them.

RightOnline 2012

Tim, Mike, Rick, and Steve (yes, me) will be heading out to RightOnline in Vegas in just a few weeks.  Here’s a little primer–clips from 2011. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=wL5kOxMdh74 Note from Skip: I had been expecting to go as well but I was told by my boss that I should be going to San Diego for a … Read more

Pay As You Throw Had To Go – Revisited

In April of 2011 I wrote about trying to institute Pay As You Throw in Merrimack.  Seeing as this comes up every year, I figured it was time to re-post it.  One point I would add; If any division of the town government intends to continue making a case for costs/burden related to actual use they should be prepared for an all out assault on school taxes (you are still taxing the elderly, childless, and parents with kids out of school), Hydrant fees (we all pay them but who ever uses them), and much, much, more.

trash bagThe Merrimack Town Council bent to the will of the voters and scrapped plans to institute a pay as you throw program.  That would have required residents to buy special bags for trash at $1.00 or $1.50 per bag, and you could only use those bags at the town dump.

But we’ve been warned.  This is an issue that will be revisited. Or so we have been told.

Well, screw that, let’s look at it now.

Do Democrats Now Love The Chamber Of Commerce?

Remember when the Chamber of Commerce (C of C) was the lefts whipping boy? They were evil capitalists using money from “outside the country” to affect their selfish policy agenda- So what do those same leftists have to say about that same Chamber of Commerce (presumably with the same funding) leading the charge to prevent the enforcement of e-verify?

Palin v. Elites

There are plenty of Republicans and Independents out there who have either gotten lazy and simply adopted the lefts narrative on Palin or who are actual snobby-right-wing elites protecting the moderate Republican power base. I’ve not much of a stomach for either. So if you feel like tossing out some of that left wing elitist narrative just be prepared to back it up.
