Food For Thought
We Need Christian Nationalism Because Religious Neutrality Has Failed
Interesting article about the role of Christianity in the founding of this country, one that I mostly agree with. Broadly speaking (and sometimes narrowly), if you show me a national problem we're dealing with, it can pretty easily be traced back to abandoning traditional Christian values. Note: this does not mean that everyone has to be a Christian, but I believe that a society based upon traditional Christian values (what we called American values up until the mid-20th century) works better than one that doesn't. “Wives obey your husbands, husbands love your wives as Christ loved the church” is a pretty good basis for a marriage no matter what religion both spouses follow. I'll let y'all argue about the “obey” hot potato in the comments, but remember it's a dual instruction. Whatever parameters you put on obey should be considered in light of the equally binding charge to the husband that he be willing to lay down his life for the wife. Somehow that part always gets left out by the feminists. Related: LGBT Activists Vilify Pastor Arrested For Enacting Plot Of Celebrated Gay Movie Ephebophilia for me but not for thee.

I don't think Cortez / Cortes (spelling in the 1500s was, I suspect, as loose in Spain as it was in England) had any real notion that he was abolishing Aztec human sacrifices. I think Cortes was a sorry little figurehead who spent his whole time in New Spain being used.
source : Matthew Restall's When Montezuma Met Cortes.
The Spanish had some genocidal bastards (Alvarado) and Catholic bigots (de Landa) in their train. Cortes, to his credit, was neither. But he was also something of a b!tch. So when some of those genocidaires and bigots showed up - and there were plenty of those on the indigenous side as well - Cortes rolled with the punches.

The breakout is on her left front side. She's having the "shooting/stabbing" pains, and they're following the nerve back around her back.
We got her to the doc this afternoon. The rash had popped up a couple of days ago, and we thought it was just some sort of insect bite. But the shooting pains and very tender skin told a different story.
They've got her on acyclovir. Keep your fingers crossed.

charge" of a fleet full of Spanish pirates and sent the lot to Mexico. Mexico, at the time, I think we all agree, was a snakepit of Indian kingdoms all of whom REALLY wanted to massacre them some Aztecs, as the Aztecs had done to them.
Cortes survived all that, and even tried to learn the languages; and then was robbed of any opportunity to rule the place properly. In large part because of Velazquez, who was truly genocidal, back in Cuba.
Since Cortes was Catholic, I do hope his shade has done its time in Purgatory and is now in Heaven. [Not saying he should be a saint.]

No, but the funny thing is we were just talking about it a few weeks ago.
It's not contagious, but I had an outbreak a couple weeks ago. Now, with me, it's because of the immune suppressing crap I take for the RA. It always pops up on my forehead, and it did. Acyclovir will knock it back quickly.
But it's strange Miley got it about a week after I did.

It can be contagious if you actually touch the open Shingles sores, or you touch them and touch another person. After I had shingles, my now ex-wife and baby son (he's 25 now) both got chicken pox.

Yes, shingles is caused by herpes zoster, the chicken pox virus. When you're first exposed, you get the chicken pox.
Then, the virus goes dormant, but still alive in your nerves. When it decides to pop out again, that's shingles.
It's not contagious, except for anyone who hasn't had chicken pox. A person with active shingles can transmit the virus and cause chicken pox in someone who has never been exposed.

It's recommended for seniors, what the age is now, I don't know. But when you get 29 and stay there for about 20 years or so, it's a good idea.
Shingles occurs more often in the over 29 crowd.

While you're at it, depending on your location/lifestyle/work etc, review your vaccinations, and consider that thanks to Wonderful Vibrant Diversity [i.e., no border, nearly collapsed system of public health WRT incoming migrants, at least the illegal ones], vaccines long not recommended for adults are ..... back!
DPT [pertussis is the "P"], vs. DT, for example. There may be others.
Think of it as a form of historical re-enacting. Thanks to the idiocy of the political class, and the electorate, we now get to deal with public health problems that until recently you could only read about from the past.

Yes, shingles in the eye is a big problem. That's the trouble with me and the forehead outbreaks. If it gets in your eye, well, it's not too good.
Another complication is "postherpetic neuralgia", where the pain persists -- nerve damage, for months or years after the original outbreak.
And the worst of that is again, when it involves facial nerves, which is "tic douloureux" or trigeminal neuralgia.
That is *severe* facial pain, causing you to wince and contort your face. It's torture.

If things keep going the way they are? First exclusion from society. No jobs, no social connections, no public life for anyone that doesn't sign on with the left's agenda. And that agenda will get more and more extreme.
Then comes the official government condemnation, profess what the government tells you to or prison. "Bigotry", which will include Christianity and basically what was considered normal views on sexuality circa 1992 will be banned.
And at that point either we see a violent reaction "Revolutionary War 2.0" OR we get Big Brother. Who will likely imprison the common people for all the antics the left celebrates now anyway.

You can become an Internet troll like me. Sure, no one ever has anything nice to say to you, but you get to CHANGE THE WORLD and stuff. It's a good way to channel negativity.
Besides, God isn't going to exact any big-time wrath any time soon. Think about it: Climate change will get us in the next 10 years, if racism doesn't kill us all sooner. And forget about Dylann Roof, for cryin' outs.
The AoSHQ is kind of my trolling "turf" but you can have at it here for a few posts. (Just this once!) Sports is the latest thing we're tarnishing beyond recognition. If you want to take my Project 1619 / Joe Montana commenet and run with it, maybe point out how the greatest quarterback ever couldn't win a title with a Native American symbol on his helmet because RASICM!!!

The cashier was significantly shorter than me in height. However, the open display of very large tracts of land was disconcerting. She had an open top, liked to bend over, and they were very large and real. That analysis is based on my scientific study of giggling and harmonic motion in Si-breasts and non-Si breasts.
I was able to maintain eye contact when needed.

Firstly, take a deep breath and stop with the elevated cortisol. It's not good for you and things have been worse (Black Plague, for example).
Secondly, we're commanded to love our neighbor, not like him. Sometimes, loving someone means being harsh, but not out of a spirit of malice. Also, baby steps, start with family and people in close physical proximity. Think of faith like kaizen rather an overnight 180.

Oh I meant specifically how a Spaniard with smallpox ended up in Mexico.
My memory is that Cortés went to Mexico against the wishes of the Spanish governor of Cuba. The governor sent an army after Cortés into Mexico.
Cortés persuaded this army that there was more glory and riches to be had in Mexico then there were in dragging him back to Cuba and...ended up with the army he needed due to the governor's opposition.
One of the soldiers sent to stop him though had come down with smallpox though...and it was this vector that led to Cortés spreading the disease (again unknowingly).

Oh, I see what you mean. That's my recollection of events as well.
It's also my understanding (and I find this funny in a dark sort of way) that of the new army that joined up with Cortes, most of them died soon after. When they all marched back to Tenochtitlan, that was just before the Aztecs rose up and drove them out, and they had to swim across the lake to get away. The ones who'd been with Cortes from the beginning knew to travel light, but the newcomers plundered all they could first and when it came time to swim,....well.
I guess drowning beats being stretched out on an altar and having your heart cut out, though.

The average internet crank was placing bets on how many hours Epstein had to live. The jail officials whose primary responsibility was to keep him alive had no clue he was at high risk... and planets aligned just so... and he just... died... and nobody else had anything to do with other than providing means and opportunity.

The interrelations of the Europeans and the American Indians were very complex and it is sad that the left is trying to make that knowledge verboten.
My amusing fact of the day - the Iroquois introduced the Indian of Indian reservations. As successful warmongers they often had to decide what to do with defeated tribes and often moved those tribes to areas convenient for them. Of course in some cases they just plain exterminated their neighbors well.
As one non-Indian put it, "the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must."

Of course adult human sacrifice is NOWHERE near the worst thing the Aztecs did.
They had a "holiday" they celebrated by sacrificing children. But the god they were sacrificed to, as a water based god, required tears - the more the better and based on the remains we've found...they were very good at their tasks.

I was in Vernon, NJ today, where I learned of the legend of Action Park.
An enclosed water slide with a complete loop where customers ended up with bloody noses. A wheeled ride with no brakes that shot down a concrete-and-fiberglass track. A freshwater pool with giant waves that required lifeguards to rescue over two dozen people a day. New Jersey's Action Park, which quickly became known as "Accident Park", had it all. It was arguably America's most dangerous water park...
One extreme example was the park's Alpine Slide, which has been described by an old Action Park regular as, "essentially a giant track to rip people's skin off that was disguised as a kid's ride."...
One of the park's most notable attractions was the Tidal Wave Pool, one of the first to open in the United States, which quickly became one of the most dangerous rides at the park. Nicknamed, "The Grave Pool," it was filled with fresh water, not sea water, which made patrons less buoyant and left strong swimmers and non-swimmers alike literally in over their heads as waves that could reach 40 inches at high blast. The 12 lifeguards on duty rescued, on average, 30 people a day on high-traffic weekends.
As part of the anything goes atmosphere no one cared about the drinking age. Doctors said nearly everyone they treated for injuries was inebriated, no matter what age. A guy got electrocuted on a kayak ride because there was a live wire in the water.

The Romans have a lot to do with the disappearance of human sacrifice in the Mediterranean. They occasionally engaged in a little of it themselves, but by and large they didn't like it and avoided it. And then they enforced that on everyone else in the region. It's worth noting that human sacrifice was one of the reasons why "Carthage delenda est!"

It cannot be that the white-eye was simply the strongest tribe, being far ahead of the stone age, and thus prevailed - as the Iroquois and Huron and Apache and other competent aggressive tribes had dominated before the white-eye.
Or that the enslavement, slaughters, even genocides prior to the 17th century are beyond counting or knowing, by definition.
Nope, can't be that.

You're already seeing loyalty oaths in academia - if you want to be hired or promoted, you have to sign a written commitment to "diversity". if you think that your university should simply hire the best people available, no academic career for you.
Columbia's English Literature department got some flak for not placing a single Ph.D. graduate in a tenure-track position, yet still admitting 18 new Ph.D. students into the program.
A Columbia professor explained that they couldn't cut back on the number of students admitted,,because that would hurt the department's "diversity" goals.
Translation: Columbia's "diversity" admits are terrible, so if Columbia only admitted "diversity" candidates, it would destroy what was left of the English Department's reputation.

They wouldn't want anyone to hear the truth of it, because the story of Hernan Cortez is not a story they would like. He was not a great man, or even a good one. He was a flawed man, like most of us... but when the currents of history put him on a collision course with pure evil, he didn't back down. The only way out was through, and he held the course in spite of the danger.
It only takes a few people, who need not even be that good themselves, willing to stand against evil in the critical moments of time in order to stop it cold.

Probably a mix of a few things.
IIRC, the Vikings in the New World aren't believed to have interacted all that much with the locals (aside from exchanging arrows on occasion). So there was less opportunity for diseases to jump ethnicities. The colder climate probably helped. And the population confronting the Vikings was completely different from what the Spanish faced. The Spanish were working their way through heavily urbanized areas, with lots of people per square mile. The Vikings were living in a much more sparsely settled area, where infecting one local didn't necessarily mean that a thousand others would be exposed by the end of the day.

Don't really have a good answer to that. My immediate guess would be sheer luck--either the Vikings didn't have any carriers with them, or the two sides weren't in contact long enough for disease to spread, or both.

Iceland's population is so small that it couldn't maintain an endemic population of people with measles.
So historically, Iceland has been ravaged by periodic measles epidemics caused by an infected person off a ship, everyone gets immunity, and then there are no measles cases until enough non-immune people are born in Iceland to support a new epidemic.

I think that's a different kind of backing down. Cortes intended to establish Spanish dominion over Mexico, so whacking another Indian city along the way cost him nothing personally.
I don't know if I'd go as far as you in assessing Cortes. He was not a nice man, but he was a good leader, and from what I've read, I'd much rather have dealt with him than say, Pizarro and a few others.

***********
Hi Charles (and Maegan). I'm a knitting designer. Ravelry isn't a blog, it's an entire website which hosts not only fora, but has massive database of yarns, yarn shops, retailers, and patterns (including mine, search Gingy and you'll find me there). I have opened shops on Loveknitting and Patternvine, to provide another option for those Ravelry-averse, but those are marketplace-only.
She might want to google Our Unraveled. It was a site made in the wake of Ravelry's anti-Trump announcement. I signed up but I haven't used it. I know of another but the name escapes me at the moment.
If she wants to email me to get my shop links, I can be found at gingy knits at that gee mail place- (you can figure that out, right?).
Some of us, a lot of us, just wanna knit. And the conservatives are the ones who a) don't bitch but merely leave; and b) actually spend money. My pattern shop on LoveKnitting made more money last week than my Ravelry shop in the entire month.

The Norse settlement in Newfoundland (and excursions further inland, to Greenland and points south) lasted only ten years and they had only limited engagement with the local peoples. Further, the Beothuk people were on the island of Newfoundland exclusively - which is 180 km from the mainland. It's a little far to go in a kayak to carry disease.

Ross' photos are good to see. (Not 'nice' or 'fun', but good.)
I have come to the conclusion that ass clowns like Talib and Omar are not really Holocaust Deniers, per se. There is too much photo and first hand account info to deny (although there are always stupid/crazy people.) Rather, they are more Holocaust Careless Assholes.
I wonder how many historical tragedies (or even great moments) have passed out of memory because there was no photographs at the time to document it. It is a sad truth that history is written by the victors (this is true to an extent even with photographic evidence.)

Orson Scott Card has one of his time traveling characters do this in the novel Pastwatch. The character is descended from the Mesoamerican natives, and needs to masquerade as a holy figure to get the pre-Colombus Mesoamericans to follow a particular plan. And the novel makes it pretty clear that part of the "make myself look like a holy figure" involves use of a barb as described above.
The character also notes that his ancestors were quite obviously nuts.

People really do believe that the whole thing was made up or didn't happen.
I remember there was a holocaust denier who died a while back - can't remember who he was; my vague recollection is that the only reason why the news noted his passing had something to do with how he died. And one of the articles about him that I glanced through mentioned that once while visiting a former Nazi concentration camp, he got into an argument with another visitor about whether the Holocaust really happened.
So, yeah, people really are that hard-headed.

Omar engaged in explicit Holocaust denialism last Holocaust remembrance Day, by sending out a tweet referring to the "17 million" victims of the Holocaust.
That figure is meant to represent all civilian deaths in Eastern Europe in WWII - the point is to claim that there were a lot of civilian deaths in WWII, and to deny that Jews were specifically targeted for extermination.

One of the last really great U.S. televisions -- "works in a drawer". "Quasar. By Motorola."
Right around that time, Panasonic made their classic business move. Japanese products still had the reputation of being junk, so they went to RCA, et al and said "Look, our TVs are good, and cheap, too. We'll sell them to you for less than you can make them for yourself and you can just put an RCA label on them." The bean counters went for it.
Then Panasonic went to Sears, et al, and said "We'll sell you the same TVs we're selling to RCA for less than they charge you, and you can put a Kenmore label on them."
Not long after that, there weren't any non-Japanese TVs.
Bill Gates later ran the same game on IBM with MS-DOS.

Yet we have no specific word for when THEY were being exterminated.

Bought this 42" Samsung flatscreen in 2007.
It's still a fantastic image, sharp as hell, fully saturated color palate.
I've seen the 4k displays, playing their ENHANCED 4k "demo" Blu-Ray disks. Yeah, awesome.
How much broadcast, cable cast, sat cast, etc. cast out there, is IN 4k format, much less the new hawt 8k freshness?
I'll likely upgrade in a year or two. Buy 4k, and know that the snobs will consider it already obsolete.
But it's a fool's errand to spend many times more on a still scarce format that won't be common until your new TV purchase is 'bout ready for the trash bin.
Buy ONLY after the new format is in Common Distribution. Sooner, and you're simply spending vanity bucks.

Although this "news" is several months old, I was just reading. Intel has finally officially killed off the Itanium, or "Itanic" as it was unofficially dubbed.
They announced the last orders they would take and after that, no more will be built. Development has ceased for some time.
The Itanic forecasts were some of the worst -- not as bad as federal govt. budget estimates, but pretty bad.
Look at the charts for "projected Itanium sales" vs the reality.

Itanium was something else, and gave Chipzilla some comeupance. The Itanic was going to be the killer 64-bit chip, the one that would replace the x86 architecture. It was totally different.
I remember at the time, late 90s, I was all hepped up for the new Intel 64-bit instruction set, and looked at it. I MEGLO'd. "Huh, this is totally different". And ridiculously complicated.
And then AMD came out with 64-bit extensions to the x86 instruction set, known as AMD64, x64 and x86_64.
And that was the one that became the standard 64-bit system. Intel had to copy it, with a standard joke being Intel's version was the "iAMD64", which was a real slap to Intel.
Intel realized it was dead way before now, but HP had invested so much it it, and that is what kept Intel making it for so many years.

The control system for the T-stat is 24VAC, driven off a control transformer. It's not dangerous for electric shock, but you can short them out and blow the little fuses for the thing, which means opening up the unit.
Some simple heating systems using "mV" thermostats, driven off a "thermopile" (enough thermocouples to generate enough voltage and current) driven by the pilot light.

There's an invisible [because suppressed/ignored] crime wave occurring across the country involving illegal aliens, many of them repeat offenders [normal pattern with criminals], turbo-charged by "sanctuary" lawlessness. This is apart from the crime wave of DUIs including those resulting in mayhem/homicide, and of course the enormous ID theft involved in illegal employment.
ONT so maybe it's safe to not self-censor. While the Dems are unspeakably and despicably complicit, and the GOP [95%] is *little better* [oh, yes], the administration is largely a failure on this [and is doing literally nothing, politically, to even prepare the ground to do anything about it].
And the country doesn't give a f**k - it doesn't affect them, directly, negatively, immediately, so it's not happening [and the collapse of anything resembling a press keeps everyone nicely uninformed about what's going on].
And we won't raise the topic of the ongoing constitutional trainwreck as the DOJ/WH haplessly further the grotesque transformation into a court-run, "sanctuary"-enabled mess through their inaction and mindless submission to anything barfed up by even a single lawless "judge".

So I abandoned the window glass cleanup, and turned to the sagging engine mounts. It had a pair of thick rubber biscuits mounted such that all the load on them was a shear load. Not real bright, guys. I removed the old biscuits, and began fabricating angle brackets so that I could use a pair of Studebaker rubber biscuits, set vertically, so loaded in compression, not shear. One side is now done, and the engine remains supported by a jack. And it's all bolt-in, so it could be put back to original, should anyone care to do so. This is an old rally car, so it came to me modified in some respects.

Everyone knows there is a breakdown of basic law and order, yet the GOP will NOT make it an issue.
It would sweep them into HUGE gains in both the House and Senate, and ensure Trump's reelection.

But Trump's failure to even try to politicize this [i.e. bring heat on the GOP and vulnerable Dems], or to take dramatic action [all within his existing power] to save lives - that's just as important and just as inscrutable [to me].

Get the t-state fixed but meanwhile get a space heater - they're convenient and often a good option anyway. A few miles off the coast further south, but we rarely use the heat now, just a space heater or two, plus sweats and good warmth boots for the "cold" [ha] nights in "winter".

Okay, Morticia, I found the installation instructions for those 4000 series T-stats. It looks like a simple, non-heat pump system.
Turning the heat on is probably as simple as jumping the R(red) to the W(white) terminal.
What type of furnace is it? Oil, gas?
On those, the blower is usually turned on by the system itself when the plenum comes up to temperature. Otherwise, you'll connect the G (green) fan lead to R as well.
Only do this if you're comfortable with messing with it.

remove line feed.
By jumping, or "hot-wiring" it, the heat will run continuously until you break the connection. Run it until it gets warm enough, the break it. Until you get the T-stat replaced.
And you can pick up one at any big box Lowes/Home Depot, etc store.

But in the actual report CBP issued a statement that they'd avoid the cemetery that's along the path of proposed levee-wall. So, just speculation. Only the headline and chyron misleadingly said "Veterans graves to be "Dug Up" for border wall" like it was happening for real. Saw lots of Nevertrumpers sharing the story and saying how disrespectful Trump was to the military.
...but, then I got thinking. These are WWI and II veterans, not soldiers killed in action. So, wouldn't that pretty much classify every cemetery in America? And I pulled up this place on Google maps.. and its tiny, one acre of an old church tucked between a couple residential plots where everything else around for miles is farmland.

Anyways, they ought to avoid this place and just let the wall have a 1,000 foot gap. The Boarder Patrol HQ is only a mile to the west anyways.
