Don't Touch My Fudge
(actually ... I'm certain I really did used to know what that meant back in the days that I could recognize the capability of both sides of a modem connection, and the negotiated speed just by the sound.)
I’ll throw another one out for discussion:
DARPA
TTIL CAPTCHA is an acronym “ Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart”
Nerds love ‘em almost as much as the military.

POS is a good one with a sacred meaning (for money worshippers) and profane for the rest of us.
“This POS terminal is a POS.”

Some acronyms are vocalised as a virtual word while most are spelled out and tend towards TLA’s.
For very old TV watchers in 1960’s there was “The Man from U.N.C.L.E. With Robert Vaughan (Napoleon Solo) and David McCallum (Illya Kuryakin)
I really don’t recall what this one stands for…. Google is ok by me.
That’s FUBAR.
it looks like i will have to play with myself:
United Network Command for Law and Enforcement
Dual-tone Multi-Frequency signaling for a wired phone system:
The DTMF telephone keypad is laid out as a matrix of push buttons in which each row represents the low frequency component and each column represents the high frequency component of the DTMF signal. The commonly used keypad has four rows and three columns, but a fourth column is present for some applications. Pressing a key sends a combination of the row and column frequencies. For example, the 1 key produces a superimposition of a 697 Hz low tone and a 1209 Hz high tone. Initial pushbutton designs employed levers, enabling each button to activate one row and one column contact. The tones are decoded by the switching center to determine the keys pressed by the user.

A couple from tv and film TARDIS and SPECTRE even though the latter is also linked to a recent iOS release.
A Military reference SNAFU.> @knewspeak said:
I wish I knew them from memory… I’m sure I’ve heard TARDIS dozens of times but alas, I got nothing.
Maybe “Time and Reality Destination Ambulatory Spacecraft”. (I’m googling to Google to score my effort).
Shit…I didn’t even get the right letters but I got 2 1/2 letters right.
I font get if SPECTRE is really James Bond’s or Austin Powers’ villains. Word to my juniors… memory is the 2nd
thing to go.
I wish we had more NERDS here or NERDS with more general views on wasting time.
SMERSH (СМЕРШ)
Get Smart? Created by Mel Brooks show as I recall.
You're sort of on the right track, but nope, that was KAOS.
SMERSH was a real organization and also a fictional one, and is a term disturbingly having a resurgence as a term used by those that originally coined it.
I had to look:
Of course, the english pronunciation of SMERSH wouldn’t bear much relationship to anything in Russian unless Ian Fleming made up the acronym to match something pronounced in Russian so it’s a fictional label, I would guess.
I believe the Russians adopted the term Restaurant but the letters on these establishments looks to me like
PECTOPAH.
Apparently the term is re-emerging as regards quashing dissent inside Russia, though there's currently no organization called by that name as far as I know. It literally translates as "Death to spies".
I don’t know about SMERSH re-emerging but I know there are Neo-NAZI’s in Ukraines Armed Forces, even the New York Times knows it.
So… is NAZI an acronym? Does adding “Neo” in front cancel any acronym?
Ukraine by the way is still under attack and desperate to have combatants so they accept their far right battalions into the
breach.
Putin has issue with manpower and gets troops from North Korea and other aligned nations.
The UK just raised the stakes with a threat of more economic pressures and full material support of Ukraine if
they do not ceasefire (at a minimum).
NAZI was slang a shortening of NSDAP which was a rebranding of the DAP.
Starmer is a joke, even the British Armed Forces recognise this, economic pressure, Russia is probably the most sanctioned country in history, remember people said the Ruble would be rubble.
Those Neo-Nazis of Ukraine, why are they needed, I remember Biden amongst most Western leaders stating multiple times Russia had lost the war, I think that doesn’t reconcile with reality, but then again truth the first casualty.
A reasonable peace was always possible, but who really turned it down on multiple occasions. My advice start by asking Boris Johnson, you never know you might even get him to tell the truth.
Reason was never proposed in my opinion. Putin will take a portion on Ukraine to save face with his countryman but there’s
no reasonable concession where Ukraine give land to Russia.
No sovergn country would ever accept the loss of territory as a reasonable concession in war.
Maybe we should try and fix Gaza while were solving thr worlds problems.
Then India Pakistan…
I just pray Putin doesn’t try and save face by using a Nuke to show his power on the world’s stage.
Trump obviously is in Putin’s pocket… has been for decades, I suspect. After 5 bankrupt Casino’s no one would load
Trump money but Russians started buying Trump Tower condos and Florida properties to gain an advantage with a
totally unscrupulous Western “deal maker” and wannabe politician.
Trump built his current regime on “fear of immigrants” but I think he’s overplayed that scheme because the 18 million
immigrants from central and south america contribute to our economy. They will never re-vitalize the manufacturing sector without people desperate for low pay/high risk work. Immigrants fit that need in a modern western economy.
This is a neutral question out of pure curiosity, so please don't read any political bent into it.
You've mentioned the need for people willing to work at low pay jobs a few times now. When you think of immigrants in that context, is there any distinction in your mind between immigrants here legally vs. illegally?
(On another subject - I confess, I have some indefinable misgiving when I hear someone speak of the need for low pay / high risk workers as you have. It feels somehow ... I dunno ... exploitative? That doesn't really make sense since presumably they're better off than they would be in their own countries with fewer opportunities. But still ... it feels weird.)
I think the other thing that feels uncomfortable, even though I know you don't mean it that way, it can sound like a characterization of all immigrants as low cost / low skilled workers. Having some highly intelligent and frankly amazing (legal) immigrant relatives from Central America with good jobs, I have a rather different perspective.)
Just to be clear @McD - my parenthesis above assumes an understanding that I in no way think you have any of the bias that I mentioned are lurking behind the words. In fact, just the opposite. It's just how the words themselves strike me as a "read the room" kind of person.
The past few years have been a fascinating cultural learning experience as two families from across borders have come together. Even little things that I had never thought of, such as assuming we somehow have exclusivity to call our country "America" and ourselves "Americans", when they're from the same continent, as though their country doesn't count. We don't mean anything by it, but I can see their point.
@wim the best part of my rant was “18 million” the worst was trying to pick an example of consequences.
ICE seems to be motivated to hit really aggressive quotas after claiming they would export millions.
I have a three week old grandson. My daughter-in-law takes her citizenship oath in four days. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a bit concerned some bureaucrat might challenge his citizenship some day, having been born a few weeks short of her taking the oath.
She made the 2-hour drive to a 7:00am appointment to take and pass her citizenship test 10 days after having an emergency c-section. She could have tried to reschedule but was afraid to put it off. We all were concerned too if I’m honest, even though she’s here legally and our side of the family is USA born.
Sorry - way off topic.
Not an acronym, but an abbreviation: Modem
@wim hope all goes well for your daughter-in-law and congratulations for the new family member.
@McD all nations are constructs changing constantly in borders and peoples, Ukraine a construct from the former USSR a collective formed of land and peoples from various nations previously Poland, Hungary, Romania and of course Russia. The former territory of Yugoslavia was a regionally close example that was broken up, so sovereignty isn’t a given.
Don’t get me wrong I do wish people could live in harmony together respecting each other’s language culture and traditions, but that wasn’t happening especially with regards to the two accords (Minsk 1&2).
If this was a war against the western part of Ukraine ask why was it being fought in the east of Ukraine, I think you know the answer, as for Crimea they declared their own independence if memory serves me correctly twice before being annexed, polling data collected by Gallop prior to the annexation was overwhelming in favour of unification with Russia.
Again if memory serves me correctly the Brookings Institution a US think tank have a paper about extending Russia, it was written prior to the invasion, with a view to provoking Russia to invade Ukraine a scenario almost 1:1 matching exactly what has taken place.
In my nation Scotland, Wales and other regions have or want autonomy maybe even independence. Northern Ireland may someday unite with Ireland, if this is the wish of the people then that has to be respected.
The Soviet Union was held together by autocratic power… similar to the political movements in China. But are very anti-democratic.
Putin’s farce of elections is a fictional play on a democratic process. Putting Navalny in jail and killing him shows how little chance there is for bottom up change.
All this pre-Soviet era countries want to escape the pull of Putin. Ukraine has been beaten down in that system and has worked hard to gain autonomy. Russian speaking people have moved into traditionally Urkrainian territories and the elections in those areas are suspect based upon soviet role playing democratic processes.
I’t hoping Ukraine survives the next century… who replaces Putin will make the difference.
