Monday Overnight Open Thread (7/8/19)
Quote I
“We can’t be only upset with Trump… His policies are bad, but many of the people who came before him also had really bad policies. They just were more polished than he was.” Rep. Ilhan Omar, (D-MN)
Quote II
Luckily for Trump, it won’t happen. Good-Guy-To-Have-A-Beer-With Joe is long gone, like the wrinkles he had Botoxed away in preparation for this last disastrous White House run. Joe was the Democrat’s final chance to run a major candidate who likes America and likes Americans. Now one of the two major American political parties is all-in on hating the USA and hating you. Kurt Schlichter
Quote III
I find it strange when members act as though social media isn’t important,” “They set millions of [dollars] on [fire] to run TV ads so people can see their message. “I haven’t dialed for dollars *once* this year,” “& have more time to do my actual job. Yet we’d rather campaign like it’s 2008 Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, (D-NY)
Quote IV
"I'm going to sit him on the front of the Downing Street steps and he's going to do some homework there because it its their responsibility to be looking after and educating our children for five days a week." Labour MP Jess Phillips
The U.S. Women’s Soccer team defeated the Netherlands on Sunday 2-0 to become World Cup champions, only some of the team lack the heart of champions. As they mugged for the cameras, Rapinoe directed one of the players standing with her to ditch the flag so they could pose for cameras. The flag was not to become part of the photo. It’s all about Rapinoe for Rapinoe.
You buy it once for two bucks and tote it around in your purse or pocket or ass so you can whip it out in other restaurants and others in your karass of demented yokels can marvel at your caring. Then y ou also buy, for one buck, that little straw reamer so you can shove it into the straw and whip out any evil germs that may otherwise grow crusty within.
Steve Wozniak, Co-Founder of Apple has some thoughts about Face Book and other social media platforms.
"I'm worried about everything," Wozniak replied. "I don't think we can stop it, though."
But, everything about you -- I mean, they can measure your heartbeat with lasers now, they can listen to you with a lot of devices. Who knows if my cellphone's listening right now. Alexa has already been in the news alot. So, I worry, because you're having conversations that you think are private... You're saying words that really shouldn't be listened to, because you don't expect it. But there's almost no way to stop it. People think they have a level of privacy they don't. Why don't they give me a choice? Let me pay a certain amount, and you'll keep my data more secure and private then everybody else handing it to advertisers. Wozniak was also asked if we should "get rid of Facebook and Instagram..." His reply? "There are many different kinds of people, and some the benefits of Facebook are worth the loss of privacy. But to many like myself, my recommendation is -- to most people -- you should figure out a way to get off Facebook." "Steve knows what he's talking about," explains TMZ's write-up of their conversation, adding that "the dude co-founded Apple, and he's very much plugged into Silicon Valley and all aspects of tech."
Oh No!!!! Noted prof using the S.W.A.G. methodology says there is a 50% chance that human race dies off in 760 years.
A book titled 'The Doomsday Calculation' is taking a new look at a mathematical approach to predicting virtually anything within a 50 percent likelihood, including when the human race will end. Author William Poundstone has employed the Copernican method developed by Princeton University astrophysicist J. Richard Gott III to estimate a 50 percent chance that the human race will cease to exist within roughly 760 years. The method is said to work to predict the likely length of existence of anything of an uncertain duration so long as it's being encountered at a random point in time.
President Bill Clinton has released a statement on his ties to pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, claiming he “knows nothing” about the billionaire’s “terrible crimes.”
“President Clinton knows nothing about the terrible crimes Jeffrey Epstein pleaded guilty to in Florida some years ago, or those with which he has been recently charged in New York,” the statement reads. “In 2002 and 2003, President Clinton took a total of four trips on Jeffrey Epstein’s airplane: one to Europe, one to Asia, and two to Africa, which included stops in connection with the work of the Clinton Foundation. Staff, supporters of the Foundation and his Secret Service detail traveled on every leg of every trip.”
On the evening of December 2nd, 2010, a handful of America’s media and entertainment elite—including TV anchors Katie Couric and George Stephanopoulos, comedienne Chelsea Handler, and director Woody Allen—convened around the dinner table of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. It wasn’t just any dining room, but part of a sprawling nine-story townhouse that once housed an entire preparatory school. And it wasn’t just any sex offender, but an enigmatic billionaire who had once flown the likes of former President Bill Clinton and former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak around the world on his own Boeing 727. Last spring, Epstein completed a 13-month sentence for soliciting prostitution from a minor in Palm Beach. Now he was hosting a party for his close friend, Britain’s Prince Andrew, fourth in line to the throne.
I might not like her music. But, I like her stand. Rapper Tiny Jag stands up to racism.
Rapper Tiny Jag pulled out of the AfroFuture music festival in Detroit in protest at their policy of charging white people double the price for tickets.
Until Sunday evening, the festival was actively charging white people double the price of minorities, a system they argued would guarantee marginalized groups were given “equitable chance at enjoying events in their own community.” This system led the rapper Tiny Jag, who is mixed race and whose real name is Jillian Graham, to pull out the event, denouncing the ticketing structure as “non-progressive” and motivated by “spite.”
On this day: July 8, 1971 - Mott The Hoople
Over-enthusiastic fans at a Mott The Hoople gig at the Royal Albert Hall, London, England, caused some injuries and two damaged boxes, prompting a temporary ban on rock gigs at the venue. The group paid £1,467 for damages to property. via thisdayinmusic.com
Thinking outside of the box. And a creative Genius Award Winner.
SOUTHINGTON-- One man is behind bars again after police connected him to a series of burglaries dating as far back as 2016. The Southington Police Department's Special Investigations Unit arrested Joshua Moore of Shelton for a 2016 commercial burglary that occurred at the Dunkin Donuts at 1096 West Street. Investigation into the commercial burglary revealed that the ATM machine located inside the business was the primary target of the burglary, and the suspect utilized a battery powered hydraulic spreader similar to what is used by firefighters during vehicle extrications (Jaws of Life) to gain access into the ATM machine.

So, I worry, because you're having conversations that you think are
private... You're saying words that really shouldn't be listened to,
because you don't expect it. But there's almost no way to stop it.
People think they have a level of privacy they don't. Why don't they
give me a choice? Let me pay a certain amount, and you'll keep my data
more secure and private then everybody else handing it to advertisers.
Why didn't they respect our privacy from the beginning?

Speaking of disaster/apocalyptic things, I remember watching a program talking about gamma ray (or was it X-ray?) bursts from dying stars that could wipe out all life on the planet if the cosmic roulette wheel aligned. I would think that would be worse than a nuclear war, doomsday plague, Yosemite Caldera or giant asteroid.
At least with those you can see the mushroom cloud/explosion/ash and have time to think to yourself: 'Well, we are screwed.'
With the above, everyone just drops dead (although I assume the chances are infinitesimal considering there is no evidence of something like that happening.)

So, how long before they do a study to find out how much bacteria and viruses are in those reusable straws even after you ream them out with the little brush? Also, there's a reason I don't haul around my own silverware in my purse.
Then again, the kind of people who aren't concerned about the hygiene aspects of people crapping in the streets and leaving dirty hypodermic needles laying around on the sidewalk, aren't going to concern themselves with the crud in their soda straws.

Mrs f'd has some stainless straws. I don't know why, I don't use them.
Straws are gay. No one can not look gay while sucking on a straw.
I can't remember ever using a straw for anything but milkshakes as a kid and it got tossed for a spoon. We used them and rolled up dollar bills for other things in the 80's.

>>There are accusations in the twitter feed that Trump violently raped a 13-yr-old and threatened her into silence.
>>But, the accusations called him "defendant Trump" which
sounds like there was a trial. So following along with the story, that
would mean the girl broke her silence and Trump was tried in court. How
did this take place without anyone knowing about it?
Because the story was debunked in 2016 when the woman who is a drug user admitted that she made the whole thing up.
It was so obviously fake most of the media ignored the whole thing and this was during the 2016 election.

Stainless straw for fine Peruvian flake. Sure, I could understand that.
Ha, in those days it was just plastic or a dollar, and it didn't get left on the mirror.

So, every time Ace writes about snizz, I am reminded of a South Park episode from 2007. Terrorists implanted a nuclear weapon in Hillary's snizz. So they named it a "snuke". This scene is about the guy sent into the snizz to defuse the nuke.

He won't even use one in the car and insists I take the lid off the drink. He's very adept at drinking his Mountain Dew in between bites of hamburger and digging for French fries all while driving. I believe these skills are learned by most men as soon as they get the keys to the family car.

The lie about Trump being a child rapist has been making the rounds for years. If there were any - any - way to lend the ridiculous tale credence, the news media and their pop culture flying monkeys would've been beating the story like a rented, red-headed stepmule the whole time.
Remember - these are the measured, levelheaded straight shooters who brought you three solid years of "Trump's Access Hollywood tape is SEXUAL ASSAULT!!!!!"

I like a straw in restaurants, especially ethnic restaurants.
The glass washing and sanitation habits of third world shitholers is less than desirable. I don't really trust Jorge to wash, rinse, sanitize by the book, so drinking out of a restaurant cup is basically like tongue kissing every customer that had it before you.
Same reason I get bottled beers.

I get the idea you are trying to move a smaller amount of liquid with a greater surface area of straw and moderate the temp. Just wait for the shit to cool off, because I do not understand how the volume of liquid is worth the passing out.

Soros-Funded MoveOn.org Launches Petition Calling for Equal Pay for U.S. Womens World Cup Champions
Well, if they want fairness, they should set up a pay scale for a sport's professional athletes. It should be like the teachers' union contracts. For instance, all basketball players, male and female, who have 1 year experience, get the same pay. All basketball players, male and female, who have 5 years experience, get the same pay.
See? Fair.
Well, if they want fairness, they should set up a pay scale for a sport's professional athletes. It should be like the teachers' union contracts. For instance, all basketball players, male and female, who have 1 year experience, get the same pay. All basketball players, male and female, who have 5 years experience, get the same pay.
See? Fair.

As I compulsively read every news source I've decided is reliable, I run
back here to AoSHQ to find comfort when the horror grows too much to
bear.
I gave up reading nooz anywhere else but here because blood pressure around this time last year. Hate being lied to by Progda 24/7/365. Anymore I just get Ace's take (when I can grok it, that is. Sometimes I don't get where he's coming from). That's enough.

Dude, if any of that were true the Clintons (the first strike team on smears) would have released them (especially on someone who was 30+ years in the media/publicity limelight) way back in 2015-2016.

Here is my assessment. Donald Trump loves attention, and the attention from beautiful women. He gets a rush from that.
He loves complicated business deals. He gets a rush from that.
He is a skirt-chaser. Not abnormal for his class or his hard-charging type.And he was the non-drinker, non-drug user to go into the classiest, most famous NYC nightclubs.
And he saw these people, went to their parties. Was sober when none of them were; was careful when none of them were.

-So the SDNY, which is part of the DOJ, is supposed to be poised to take him down? The Donald Trump with a lot of material because...

he was the only sober person there for thirty years.

Although at first I tend to be doubtful about some of the connections - I remember at the NXIVM trial suddenly Avenatti's name popped up, and I thought "now that is a weird connection there."
but maybe not so weird. Maybe has a lot to do with why Avenatti, like Epstein, thought he could get away with anything.

I used to deliver title documents. When you drive for a living, especially in an urban environment, you definitely develop "next level" driving skills. You also start deciding which laws apply to you and which you can scoff with impunity. And you definitely learn "creative" things (especially parking-related) that are not in any DMV booklet.

I wonder what Assange had.
I mean of all people on the entire planet to have virtual manila folders, you know he had to have the maniliest of manilas.
It'd be so cool if the Epstein stuff was the beginning of the great unmasking of all the leftist, satanic placenta eaters and virgin-rape ceremony attendees.
Dare to dream.

I spend the most time at AoS. Aside from JJ, it's focus is limited to certain topics. The topics I'm most interested in by and large - deep state developments, media shenanigans, pop culture, etc. And cuck bashing, of course.
I usually swing by a few other sites to catch stories that Ace isn't interested in. Most of the time JJ gets them, but he's mornings, so if you want it as it breaks you sadly have to look around.

"Q" is a group of people who have been working with PDT, who they refer to as "Q+", from before the beginning. Went to him and asked him to run.
Think NSA, military top brass, others.
And I have seen enough "proofs" to believe their connection.

Man, that takes me back. Reminds me of programming welding robots. That was when I realized just how stupid machines are. The machine does not know if there's something in the way, so, the programmer, me, had to make sure the head moved before the piece turned and then, make sure the head was in the right position before it tried to weld.
If I didn't get things right, the robot tried to weld in empty space or the welding head crashed into the piece.
Added bonus: Initially, our machine shop wasn't very good at holding the tolerances the robot needed in order to work consistently. Which brought home just how adaptable a human welder is.

A few years later, it was brought up again, I looked at the guy and said, "That was x years ago...you and my ex wife..."
Last I ever heard about it.
Though, to be fair, they knew my ex-wife and that probably stung just a bit.

Though, to be fair, they knew my ex-wife and that probably stung just a bit.

March 15th, at 3:42 remember Barr coming out with some kind of ruling on the border emergency.
There have been a number of those and other types of proofs over the last couple of years.
We'll see. I think their evil knows no bounds.

Anyway, through a minor slip-up, really...it was minor, I shorted an unfused 25A power supply. The flash was spectacular. Heads popped up out of the cubicles all around the office, like prairie dogs.

If I had my rifle out there, I would've put a .308 right in her chest and dropped her right there.

We have Representative Brother Fucker because we imported enough of her fellow Muzzies to form a voting block.
And not just Somalis, which I freely admit are not my favorite branch of humanity.
Got plenty of the same voting block in the Detroit/Dearborn area. It's a feature, not a bug.

Clinton doing another 'depends what the definition of is is'.
He releases a statement saying IN 2002 AND 2003 he took only 4 trips......
Of course it was already established in 2018 that he took a total of 26 trips according to flight logs and on 5 occasions had no secret service with him.

"Any other genealogy aficionados among the morons?"
Yup. Tracked the family back to Cornwall on my family name side. Conversed with a couple of ladies in Australia who were descendants of some of that family that immigrated there. One ancestor was mayor of a town in England. A few ship captains.
And it looks like one of my GG grandfathers had more than one family and traveled around for his work, spending time with each one before having to go back out on the road again.

Speaking of shorts, back in my '20s I was working on a meter box and managed to cause a little splash, in the lingo. Hot to hot short right there.
The arc flash blinded me for a few seconds. What you do is hold really still and wait for you vision to return. The fault will usually just vaporize the piece of metal causing it and blow itself out. If you move, though, blind, you can cause another, and shock yourself.
Blew a chunk of out a pair of pliers, which I still have around here somewhere.

findings as they relate to history. Putting names, faces and stories to
events is awesome. Surprising as well.
I looked and think I found the ship manifest with my grandmother listed on it. Rode in steerage and her occupation was listed as servant. Grandpa came a few years earlier as a tailor and worked through the depression at Mercy Hospital in Chicago. We still have pillows he made. 3 boys saw action in the war and my aunt volunteered at the VA I go to now. No idea how it went from that to the snowflakes of today.

But I sure as hell can not point them in the direction of a website claiming that Hilary Clinton stood gleefully by as a doctor surgically removed the face of an 8 year old with a scalpel and then placed it on hers (or Huma's!), ya know?

Here's the only winning play I see for the DSers in the Epstein affair. Force him to cooperate, but only on the political corruption angle of the original plea deal and investigate none of the pedophilia connections. Use that to ensnare any (R) prosecutors or FBI agents in SDFL connected to Acosta, and spend the next year and a half flooding the zone with one indictment after another, and all the attendant salacious leaking. Create a "corrupt Republicans enabling pedophiles" narrative ahead of the election. Hand down high-profile sentences in October.
That'd be my play if I were them. Still, it's "fraught" with danger. It's going to be very difficult to compartmentalize this and protect their own, here.

On the other other hand, Bubba made a statement, so he must not think the 'ignore' play is in operation, but more the 'deny, deny, deny' play.

I believe all the child molesting stuff overall, although I think the Disney/Nickelodeon etc connection is going to be even worse than the political names, if it ever comes out.
And frankly bothers me more, because even though they keep calling it Pedo Island, I suspect most of the girls were at least teenagers, and most went willingly, even if they did not completely understand the extent of what they were getting in to, and many of them were also held captive, iirc. I am not trying to downplay it at all, just saying that there is a huge difference to me between a 16 year old thinking she's going to go make an easy couple of thousand bucks over the weekend giving "massages" and partying 24/7 at a swanky beach resort, and a 6 year old being passed around, which is what I think was a pretty regular occurrence at various Disney/Nickelodeon locations. There are some pretty horrific rumors about what happened to the little girl who was in... Close Encounters, maybe? To say nothing of the little boys.

Can you even get a blood transfusion directly from anyone? I assume it's meant to be like a fountain of youth sort of thing?
There already is some sort of procedure whereby people do get blood from... God I don't remember, but it seems like it does have something to do with young donors, but I don't think they hook ya right up to the source, as it were.
Oh also, vampire facials are a thing, because wymyn be crazy.

Been having a lot of fun with the genealogy stuff myself. One line, if the data are correct, tracks back to John Cary, "the Plymouth Pilgrim". And I'm related to half of Pennsylvania on my maternal grandmother's side. A ways back on dad's side are a stack if french-canadien trappers who married indians in Quebec. And there are a surprising number of Mormons hanging off both sides. Some from the Mansfield/Tiltons, some from the Fairbanks/Bacon/Henry branches.

Request for Horde prayers, please. Mr. Empire was just taken to the emergency room for the second time with severe abdominal pain. The docs released him early Sunday morning with a diagnosis of bad constipation, but the laxatives prescribed didn't help, so he was taken back about an hour ago.
He didn't want me to go back in with him this time, so I'm sitting home waiting for a phone call. After less than 8 hours' sleep in 3 days (I think; not exactly at my best at the moment), I'm in no condition to drive anyway.
Thanks, gang. And when he was released about 0400 Sunday, they said it could be early diverticulitis than might not have shown on the CAT scan. What the heck is that?

Until Sunday evening, the festival was actively charging white people
double the price of minorities, a system they argued would guarantee
marginalized groups were given equitable chance at enjoying events in
their own community.

The funny thing about a system like that....the people who run it are now STRONGLY encouraged to try to get as many white people to go as possible since they'll make twice as much off of them.

Can't be bothered with the details of l'affaire Epstein, but there has been a related scandal going on the low-setting for a while, involving the federal court case [civil?] and a judge re-opening things and the prosecutors looking bad or something. Cuz double jeopardy, I assume these are different charges, and yeah they're criminal, and maybe double jeopardy doesn't include civil + criminal, and on and on.
I'm sure I'll hear what comes of it, but it's just the latest shiny object that won't change anything important.

Imprisoning people that won't use the "right" pronouns for trannies
Exterminating whiteness
Slavery reparations
Unlimited immigration
Post-birth abortion

Thanks, gang. And when he was released about 0400 Sunday, they said it
could be early diverticulitis than might not have shown on the CAT scan.
What the heck is that?
Not a doctor, but I've known someone with the condition. Little pockets form in the intestinal wall. No idea why. Sufferers sometimes have to make dietary changes to help control the symptoms.
And that's the extent of my knowledge on that subject.

I'm also amused that the leftist troll talking points seem to be....
Sure Bill Clinton (and much of Hollywood) partied with Epstein as late as a few years ago - long after his crimes became known - but Trump said something nice about Epstein before his crimes became known in the early 2000s so...TRUMP IS HITLER.

Also it is interesting that a few years ago we had the comet pizza imbroglio - but the FNM *knew* that Epstein was running a child sex ring. So they hammered over and over and over again that the notion of a bunch of rich people running a child sex ring kind of in the open was coco bananas when they knew Epstein was running a child sex ring kind of in the open.
That's an odd thing, no?
Was the FNM distracting from Epstein/Clinton? Was it just a coincidence?

I think Epstein's childfucking friends were mostly foreign globalist and Dems (he is CFR, after all), probably a few (R)s scattered around.
Where they're going to run into trouble is that Acosta is an (R), and I'll bet a lot of his SDFL staff and FBI hatchetmen on this cover up were too.
That's why I figure the SDNY will focus as much as it can on the judicial corruption, and as little as possible on the events it stemmed from. Just guessing, but there it is.

I think Epstein's childfucking friends were mostly foreign globalist and Dems (he is CFR, after all), probably a few (R)s scattered around.
Where they're going to run into trouble is that Acosta is an (R), and I'll bet a lot of his SDFL staff and FBI hatchetmen on this cover up were too.
That's why I figure the SDNY will focus as much as it can on the judicial corruption, and as little as possible on the events it stemmed from. Just guessing, but there it is.

Mueller has a history of working with bad guys for "the greater good".
Like when he was doing favors for Whitey Bulger.
Interesting that the feds had *zero* interest in how Whitey got assassinated isn't it?

I've been studying Russian (inter alia), after German, and I'm struck by how easy the latter is compared to the former.
Oh cool. How are you learning it?
I can partly blame the circumstances of my attempt at learning Russian (company hired a cleaning lady or a midwife or something to teach us) but Russian was a brick wall. Oh you think you're good at languages? Thwack!

I suspect the deal was made at the behest of the FBI who were protecting a source...which leads back, interestingly enough, to Mueller.

Jay definitely different, as opposed to shared, roots, with Russian vs. German, for an English speaker. But some Latin, and Greek, and for modern terms lots of borrowed words. I've mentioned the Russian for train station before - "vogZAL" - from ..... uh, "Vauxhall", the station in England that Peter the Great's modernization mission saw on their trip. Not everything is so pathetic and stone-age-meets-modern-culture-ish, but some is.

Yes, Willie is a slippery shit. You have to parse everything he says like a muhfuggin' computer language compiler.
"In 2002 and 2003"? What about other years?
"Has not spoken to Epstein in well over a decade"
So, about the time he first got charged with sexual abuse, then?
"Has never been to Little St. James Island" What about on his plane when it was in international airspace? Ever been in that situation?

Watching the nightly replay of Tucker atm - saw something that let me know that Biden is truly, completely finished. (I thought so before, but now I know so) Moochelle was on some talk show, was asked a question about Biden's apology, and she just rolled her eyes and sneered "no comment. next question." Her contempt for Slow Joe was palpable.
And that was it. Biden's one big chance of uniting the Dems and winning was the idea that he was going to be a continuation of the Obama Presidency, that he was going to have Obama's blessing, and that maybe even Obama would campaign for him. Well that's over - the Obama's are cutting him loose with little more than a kick in the pants and "ha ha, we always hated you, you asshole!!!"
(bammy sure won't ever cross Moochelle on this)
the main pillar that his entire campaign was supposed to rest has now collapsed. What is he now except some bumbling old white guy who's day has long since passed?

We had 15 deer outside the shop one day, because the chuckle head that owns the shop was feeding them, and they come out from the woods. I'm not a hunter, not my thing, but I watched these bigger deer gorge themselves, and there were 3 little ones who they would NOT let near the food. Every time the 3 little deer tried to get in to get some food the big deer would go up on their hind legs and tried to pummel the little deer with their front legs. It was like 12 to 3. I watched this for a good 1/2 hour. I thought to myself had an AK47 dropped from the sky I would have mowed down the whole rotten fucking bunch. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. The little deer didn't have a chance, and I don't think they got anything to eat that day. Bambi? His mother is an asshole.

> More like the languages swam around with each other for a long time before they settled down and decided to formalize.
Yeah, there was a time (and not all that long ago, either) when you could travel across the Germanic language, Romance language, and Slavic language regions of Europe and each village would always be able to understand the people in the next village. Get about five villages away and people would start talking funny. Ten villages away and you couldn't understand them.
Standard languages as we know them didn't really take hold (other than with, say, the nobility or those rare people who had gone to university) until the rise of national school systems that enforced a standard dialect. TV and movies had a lot to do with it, too.
Even today the UK has some pretty bizarre accents, as do some of the more remote regions of the US.

Dave McGowan wrote a book a few years back, he's deceased now, "Weird Scenes Inside The Gold Mine"; about Laurel Canyon and the hippies and the 1960s in general. Most, if not all of it, is available online. If you read it, none of the stuff going on now, or purported to be going on now, will seem too implausible. We're talking some grade A sick motherfuckers.
He had a few out there conjectures, but the overall sense that one gets, its a LOT weirder out there than normal people have any idea. Dave was a self-professed Liberal. The sex and drugs, imagine how depraved people can get when they have an endless supply. Cali has always been pretty strange. Ritual killings/murders/sacrifice goes back quite a ways.

Duolingo, supplemented by several textbookskis.
I had a bit of Russian back in college, but at the time I was taking 24 units, and so was pretty much studying on the pot, and I'd forgotten all of it. People think the Cyrillic alphabet is an obstacle, but in reality, it's possible to learn that in an hour.
In fairness, I should be working on my German, which is rusty now, although back then I minored in German literature, but I lean toward learning more about something I know less about than something I know more about. Superficiality rather than depth is my motto. I can easily read scientific papers in German (also in French and Italian, because I had several years of Latin in high school, between which that and knowing the subject it's pretty easy to read a scientific paper in those languages).

With a section that explains how, at some point, he has to repudiate at-this-point farcical and almost comical lawless court orders that will instantly appear to block his mundane and entirely unobjectionable actions. Unless he wants to preside over what may be the irreversible dismantling of what remains of the constitutional order.

In fairness, I should be working on my German, which is rusty now, although back then I minored in German literature, but I lean toward learning more about something I know less about than something I know more about. Superficiality rather than depth is my motto. I can easily read scientific papers in German (also in French and Italian, because I had several years of Latin in high school, between which that and knowing the subject it's pretty easy to read a scientific paper in those languages).

Have you ever considered doing an immersion program? My wife did that with Russian and Spanish. Took classes here, then went to Russia, stayed with a host family. Went to Russia twice for it. For Spanish she went to Guatemala.

Cyrillic is not bad if you learned the Greek alphabet to be a fraternity boy. Just a few different squiggles and one of them makes "zha" or something.

People freak about the Cyrillic alphabet, but it's easy. Part of that in my case was from scientific training, but even so, it's easy.
The hard part is the inflection of the language. Different cases not just for nominative, genitive, dative, and accusative, much like Latin or German, but also including instrumental and locative cases. THAT'S much trickier for us.
Curious fact: the genitive case is pretty much vestigial in German, but central in Russian. I don't know why, but when in doubt, genitive case is the best guess in Russian.
Another peculiarity in Russian: the present case is fully declined. The other cases are trivial variants of the present case. More reason we should've nuked the Russkis when we had the excuse, perhaps.

Yeah, I don't understand it at all, and await the judgment of those who do, but to my uneducated eye the two languages are almost mirror images of each other in their use of the genitive case. Russian almost seems to default to genitive case, whereas German seems to eschew it whenever possible.

Eh...no. It's used all the time. I try to teach my students to recognize it but not necessarily to use it. I mean you've already had three previous cases and three genders and plural and definite and indefinite articles so you don't really need new rules, but you should know genitive when you see it.
And I'll pull a newspaper article off the internet at random and there will be genetive in every paragraph. Like, you don't really have to learn a whole new case just to replace the word "of", but you should know what they're doing to you.

I suspect he's right. English uses prepositions to indicate relationships, whereas German (and Russian) use cases.
But even so, how many native English speakers say, "He said that to him and I?"
How many English speakers can use "whom" appropriately? One in a thousand, maybe?

That's interesting I also have some Huguenot background. Mine came from the Borderlands of Scotland when Mary Queen of Scots married the Dauphin a France. He died she left my folks stayed but then became huguenots and left at the revocation of the Edict of Nance.
They came to New Jersey where they hooked up with some Dutch from New Amsterdam who is left because the damn town is becoming too crowded and they went to the country. If only they kept that property they owned on Wall Street darn.
One of the Dutch was an interesting character he supposedly was the son of a Dutch sailor who had become a pirate working for the Sultan of Morocco. Unproven but in the early 1900s a descendant of the family still had a Koran that have been passed down.
And yes on another subject diverticulitis can be a real problem my wife has it. Others have mentioned it but you really have to watch what you eat good luck.

A lot of modern electronics are designed to always be "on" even when you turn them off for faster startup time.
So to make them "environmentally conscious" they tweek what "off" means.
Better, IMO, to throw them on an external switch so you can *really* turn them off.
Yes, I have to say wait 3 seconds instead of .5s for my TV to start up but....ok.

Fair enough, but what I meant was not the ability to recognize genitive case, but rather that is is on its ways to becoming vestigial. See, e.g., the English objective case "whom."
Recognizing it is one thing. But there's not one in a thousand college graduates (apart from the Guevara spawn) who can use it correctly.

First Russian class - day One, professors [2, native speakers, incredible inertial luxury of the former undergrad language requirement at the university] told us - tomorrow you will have the alphabet memorized, including pronunciation and most common variations.
I assume that was to slap us upside the head, and to demystify it. Worked. One night, pretty easy. As noted by others, several Greek letters one might already know from math, life, etc. And lots of shared letters [pronunciation might be different] with English [6 or 7, I think].

First Russian class - day One, professors [2, native speakers, incredible inertial luxury of the former undergrad language requirement at the university] told us - tomorrow you will have the alphabet memorized, including pronunciation and most common variations.
Day one, freshman chemistry class. I told the assembled spotty multitude that I hencedforth expected them to know the periodic table.
Spotty asshole student - a senior, no less - fetches up at my doorstep, and informs me that in his N years at *cough* university, he's not been expected to memorize anything.
I ask him what his major is.
"Pre-med."
"You realize, of course, that on day one of med school, in the increasingly unlikely event you should find yourself there, the professor will inform you that there are 206 bones in the human body, and that he will expect you to know all of them the next morning?"
Crickets.
The good news: I think I successfully kept this wanker out of medical schoo.

That's what I taught the Guevara spawn: strip it back to the verb. Ninety-nine people out of a hundred will screw this up, I told them, but if you don't, and you encounter someone with an IQ in triple digits, you will be appreciated.
In a broader context, one of associative mating, as I told my sons, a woman who recognizes and observes the difference between nominative and objective cases, and between indicative and subjective moods, is likely to give you intelligent children.
Otherwise, you take your chances ...

It's weird. I don't get the draw. Not my thing on the first place, but certainly not with FSA types at the place.
Now, for instance, I like national parks a lot. When I go there, it's much cheaper, and though the people who visit those attractions are very diverse, they're nearly uniformly high class. And it costs WAY less than an amusement park or stadium events, which is interesting in itself.
Same with cultural events like the performing arts. Way cheaper. They tend to draw a good number of blacks (though not Hispanics so much, oddly) and everybody is high-toned.
It's like the more money you spend, the more of a pit the place is.

Your WWII trivia du jour: when the super-battleship Yamato was under construction in Kure, the enormous sisal screens erected to block all land-side views of the shipyard* [to preserve secrecy] consumed so much of the product that local fishermen could not get it [they used it to wrap, display, transport the fish] and there was a local seafood shortage.
Toured the shipyard in Nagasaki where Yamato's sister Musashi was built, also with extreme secrecy. They had photos of the enormous screens built to hide that one, too.
* pretty sure that shipyard/drydock is still there, peered through a fence - no kempetai there to arrest me - at it when visiting a few years ago, it's huge

To get to a national park you need to do some planning and either own a reliable car or afford to fly and rent a car. Which basically means you need a) a couple of bucks and b) the ability to make a plan and execute it
Which sounds kind of funny, but it's true. I wouldn't say everyone is high class at a NP, but they're functioning people who have at least a 100 IQ.

Being a mere High School graduate, who cannot diagram a sentence, even if under threat of death... especially if under threat of death!
Nerves and such, I'm sure you understand?
I pay attention to what you gentlemen say as to the linguistic arts. Sometimes, I learn a little, here or there.
Other times, I just shuddup, sit back in the corner, and TRY to keep up.
I will say this, though.
I was brought up in what I think was the last generation of Proper English, before the curse of "sight reading" and every ill that descended from it, befell American Education.
Sadly, I did get afflicted by the "New Math", which derailed my calculative abilities 'round about the 5th grade or so.
And it pains me to observe, that in comparison to subsequent educational generations, I'm in comparison, a genius.
Who pales in measure to y'all's being Feynman, who remains still my most awe-inspiring instructor, ever.
Even though he was long dead before I picked up the first thing of his I'd read.
Tough times ahead for our General Population, I fear. They all vote like hell for libraries, all while lacking the knowledge or skill to even begin to understand the decimal system by which the books are ordered on those very shelves.

Those aren't Private's Stripes.
They're "Airman" stripes. E-2.
USAF, 1550 Khaki Uniform.
I was issued those in 1976, and they were in the process of being discontinued even then.
So, they were utterly useless in my USAF Law Enforcement career field, which wore ONLY the newer Dark Blue trousers and Light Blue blouse.
I know that the USAF used the 1550s back into the Vietnam Era, but not too sure how much further back in time they were "issue" as such.
That "Airman" chevron is the tell, though. It's wings are UP swept, with a star in the middle.
Army Chevrons have DOWN swept wings.
Fortunately, the bear didn't give a damn as to the distinction, thereof.

Yes, he was Air Force, but I'm pretty sure he called himself "Private" at the time. He served four years and was Staff Sgt. at the end.

In a life is funny kind of story he had actually enlisted in the Navy. He was hitchhiking somewhere and an Air Force recruiter picked him up and convinced him to rescind his enlistment and join the Air Force.
His life, and perforce mine, changed by that chance encounter.

From wandering on a foreign strand!
If such there breathe, go, mark him well;

High though his titles, proud his name,
Boundless his wealth as wish can claim;

That could work with the 1949, then.
The USAF was birthed by the Key West Agreement and came into being in 1949.
Deriving from the U.S. Army Air Corps. (USAAF), his rank could well have been "Private" at that time.
I seem to recall that the USAF had not yet fully established it's rank structure and related designations by then. They were still relying on USAAF nomenclature, if I recall.
So, Bravo Zulu to you AND your Dad. You, for a clear recollection.

I seem to recall that the USAF had not yet fully established it's rank structure and related designations by then. They were still relying on USAAF nomenclature, if I recall.
So, Bravo Zulu to you AND your Dad. You, for a clear recollection.
To your Dad? For his Service.
And kindness to the bear.

It was a guy I've otherwise never heard of, James Nicoll.
"The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary."
More elegant than my version, for sure.
Maybe S I made the comment about filing off the serial numbers.

Correction.
Key West agreement came into effect in 1947.
Which means your Dad's pic could be entirely valid circa 1949.
And I hope your Dad didn't have to suffer Korea?
Mine did, although from the relative "comfort" of the USS Valley Forge.
I'd love for you to see his Cruise Book from that time. Bet for damn sure, a comparison of notes would soak up a great deal of bourbon.

Yeah, I thought Air Force was 1947 but I wasn't going to look it up. Dad was Korea era but never went there. He was an aerial photographer, furthest he got was Alaska (which was not yet a state).
Uncle was in Korea, the famous family story is "this is Lt. Durkin and I'll bring my own damn body down".
The military was really good at training photographers back then. I love photography and doing my own darkroom work and I've never been able to match what my Dad could do for technical proficiency. I think I have more artistry and also I've had girls take their clothes off, but on an Ansel Adams scale of how good is this print I've never come close.

We've gotta compare allofthenotes.
I took two years of Occupational Photography in High School, and was the Teacher's Assistant, for the third (and my Senior year.)
Back in the '80s, I made a living (briefly) in the industry.
Had my own darkroom and all of the toys.
In all of my years, I nailed precisely ONE image that Ansel Adams would've looked at, and given an "A" as to Zone System perfection.
A simple, friggin' snapshot, from a Kodak Retina IV, plastic "box" camera. It was in no way related to the earlier German made, Retina I, II and various later "II" series cameras.
I had and learned on a Retina IIc (small "c").
To that Zone System photo.
When I pulled up the 4"x6" image from the soup, was in awe, even under the amber safelight.
After the fixer bath and rinse, the instructor even caught his breath at the range of DEEP black to PURE white on the print.
It caught the hues of my aunt's white and sliver hair, like nothing ever before.
And detail? Even under the print focus magnifier, it was down to the eyelash sharpness, and more.
Wasn't my best composition of all time. It was just a snapshot.
Dear Lord though, did it express the entire range of what B & W photography could DO!

It looks like it must have been some stereoscopic apparatus.
That's not a B-17, but his favorite part was flying in 17s where his photography station was in the belly gunner's turret. Sometimes the pilots let him fly, not take off or landing but be behind the thing, the wheel, the stick.
He was not a very communicative guy but I think those were his favorite years.

That's not a B-17 as you disclaimed, but definitely a "C-something or other", and we're going to have to get Anna Puna on the case for the I.D.
I'm noting the rear half of a set of "clamshell" doors, the back half of which opens opposite the airstream. A most UN desirable arrangement.
Unless, that is, the front-half opens into the correct orientation, in which case you're looking at a C-46 (DC-3) kind of arrangement, wherein you can load a WWII Jeep, into the airplane.

So the CA sex ex curriculum seeks to...
"promote understanding of sexuality as a normal part of human development."
Who's to say what's "normal"? Why can they use the word "normal", as if there are norms to which we should adhere, when their whole schtick is throwing out norms when it comes to sexuality? If ~97% of people are straight and identify as their gender at birth (it pains me to use their convoluted language), isn't that the very definition of "normal"? By calling every deviant sexual proclivity "normal", they've stripped the word of any meaning, so why do they get to use it to promote their agenda?

Speaking of disaster/apocalyptic things, I remember watching a program
talking about gamma ray (or was it X-ray?) bursts from dying stars that
could wipe out all life on the planet if the cosmic roulette wheel
aligned. I would think that would be worse than a nuclear war, doomsday
plague, Yosemite Caldera or giant asteroid.
... .
With the above, everyone just drops dead (although I assume the
chances are infinitesimal considering there is no evidence of something
like that happening.)
Check out the "Suspicious Observers" web site. To quote the Cylons "It has happened before, and it will happen again."https://www.suspicious0bservers.org

No.....local store similar to Salvation Army.
It seldom has really good furniture, but we were looking for a simple floor lamp, and there they were.
The High leg, wing backs start at around $1,000.00 each when new.
So I can roll with this.

My wife visited 3 or 4 resale shops to furnish her aunt and uncles condo.
It's amazing what you can find. Luckily, my wife has the ability to look at the stuff and figure our what would look good together.
Me, not so much.

But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare.

I can't tell if you are joking. I wouldn't attend any event where people were charged differently based on skin color.
Of course it wouldn't be a big sacrifice because I don't attend many events anyway.

Plain cake donuts are the best ones to eat in the car. The ones with icing manage to get a spot somewhere, which spot later metastasizes until it coats the car's entire interior.

Detroit music festival AfroFuture Fest ignited a social media debate over the past week, receiving both praise and scrutiny for its two-tier ticket pricing in which white people were asked to pay more than people of color.

I would be interested in hearing how that works out for them. Because I'm not their target audience, not a big event attender, I wonder how their sales will be affected. I would expect sales to be down, but who knows.

Soros-Funded MoveOn.org Launches Petition Calling for Equal Pay for U.S. Womens World Cup Champions
Equal to whom? If women's soccer puts fannies in the seats that justified it, sure. If not, no.
Posted by: Hadrian the Seventh at July 08, 2019 10:20 PM
The hilarious part is that now that people have looked into the details, it has been found that the women's soccer teams actually make more than the men's teams.
The Men's World Cup revenue was $6 billion.
The Women's World Cup revenue was $131 million.
The men are allotted a $400mil share of the revenue per team (7%).
The women are allotted a $30mil share of the revenue per team (23%).
So the men generate more than 45Xs more revenue than the women.
Yet, the women make more than 3Xs as much as the men, as a percentage of revenue generated.
I say, if they want "equal pay", the women should take a pay cut down to the 7% share the men take.

The funniest thing about the two-level pricing is that Young Republicans and other conservative campus groups have provoked outrage from progs when they set up "Affirmative Action Bake Sales" on a a table on campus - for example they will have cookies out with a price list, 50 cents if you're black, 75 cents if you're hispanic, $1 if you're white, $1.50 if you're asian. Makes progs boil over because it's RAYCISS!
and here are the prog music promoters doing the exact same thing.
