October ONT
October! October means Halloween. Halloween means costumes, and I have to say, I like this kid's style:
PUCK!
October also means hockey is back! The NHL season opened last night, with the Golden Knights avenging their playoff collapse to the Sharks. St. Louis started its cup defense on the wrong foot by losing in OT to the Craps, and the AHL affiliate up north in oil town surprising got the better of the Vancouver Canucks. All that is prologue, however, and the real action starts tonight at 9ET with the mighty Flames in Denver to meet the Avs. GFG! Speaking of title defense, this is awfully sweet. Blues surprise super fan Laila Anderson with hand-delivered Stanley Cup championship ring A sick little girl whose determination and support inspired an unlikely group of hockey players to hoist Lord Stanley's cup last year got a little surprise from the team this week.
A special gift from her boys - thank you Laila for being such an inspiration during our #StanleyCup run. #stlblues pic.twitter.com/4Zlu1Xuwjb

Wherefore By Their Fruits Ye Shall Know Them
19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:For those of you that don't know the story, Dallas police officer Amber Guyger shot and killed Botham Jean last year when she mistakenly went into his apartment and thought he was an intruder. This week she was sentenced to 10 years in prison for the crime. The victim's brother was allowed to give a victim impact statement, and in this most trying circumstance, the glory of Christ shone through him like a beacon. This man is walking the walk:
20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen. -Matthew 28 19-20
Hero As long as we're quoting the bible, might as well visit the gospel of John:
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. -John 15:13
15-year-old dies protecting little sister during burglary, police say
Kyhler, when the moment came, you were not found wanting. She's safe, you can rest in peace.
The Ugly American
Please America, take Meghan Markle back
No, what Meghan has done is drag with her, across the Atlantic, a garbage truck full of the most emetic US wokeness and deposited it on our front lawns. She has brought with her the infantile identity politics of Hollywood and US campuses, with all its non sequiturs, its bizarre obsessions, its mutual contradictions and its self-evident hypocrisies.Related: Reminder: Jimmy Carter Is Our Worst Ex-President

Wait, what's that you say? You can't see anything? Well, that's because the video featured an (altered) 10 second clip from a Nickleback video. Nickleback complained about it and Twitter removed it for “copyright violations”. This proves two things: #1 The president has somehow made Nickleback relevant again, which I would have bet would never have happened in a million years, and #2 Of course this strategy worked, and nobody could remember seeing the video an of course nobody retweeted it. LOL, J/K! You'd think these jackasses would be familiar with the Streisand effect. Here's an example:

Since they didn't know the skin color of Cheddar Man, they simply made the politically correct assumption regarding skin color.
Because all of our ancestors were actually black, including the ones who evolved in places with little sun and lots of rain. Ireland used to be inhabited solely by black people.

Yeah, it's for real. It's of interest because the
'Bell Beaker' lads - now agreed to be the Celts - almost wiped out the indigenous peoples of Britain. I am mostly Celt, as are all Britons and Irish. (The Saxons and Normans by the time they got to the Isles were ALSO already heavily Celt, from the mainland. Norse, less so.)
But as invasions go, sometimes a few locals dodge the massacres and rapes, and survive to pass on their genes.

They have found actual "mummies", preserved in peat bogs, whose skin has been stained chocolate brown by the humic acids in the bog. So, I think it has become sort of a convention to depict (heh) ancient Britons as brown skinned. And even if quite white, a life spent entirely outdoors in the Sun and wind, and dirt would quickly make them pretty tanned.

Cheddar Man's genetics don't have the whiteness genes we have. That much is true. The baseline for out-of-Africa is East African with a miniscule amount of Neander. Also true.
But since Cheddar Man is... well, mostly extinct; it's difficult to say if he'd had *other* genes, since lost, which would lower the melanin and allow for more Vitamin D capture. (Or is it A? Can't be arsed to look it up)
I've always figured the old European Hunter Gatherers to be like Conan. Blue eyes, straight black hair, dark-ish skin, will drive his enemies before you and hear the lamentations of your women.

Millennia of interbreeding with Doritos Man produced a hybrid that literally glowed in the dark.
Posted by: Cicero (@cicero) at October 03, 2019 10:27 PM (ZYB2s)
It was initially assumed that Cheddar Man had pale skin and fair hair, but his DNA paints a different picture, strongly suggesting he had blue eyes, a very dark brown to black complexion and dark curly hair.
...
The results pointed to a Middle Eastern origin for Cheddar Man, suggesting that his ancestors would have left Africa, moved into the Middle East and later headed west into Europe, before eventually crossing the ancient land bridge called Doggerland which connected Britain to continental Europe. Today, about 10% of white British ancestry can be linked to this ancient population.

I can remember, back in the benighted 1970s, looking at older books in the library which depicted "primitive cavemen" as brown-skinned. Because up to the 1960s or so there was a lingering association of brown = primitive. No science behind it, just the default assumption of white folks everywhere.
I can remember in the enlightened 1980s, seeing depictions of Neanderthal and Cro-Magnon inhabitants of Europe as light-skinned, more or less like their contemporary descendants. This was to show that race and material culture are unrelated. Which is true, by the way.
Now, in order to be woke, the artist has to depict a 9000 year old person who lived in England as African-brown, because apparently showing ANY historical figures as white nowadays is racist. This is now considerably worse than the unconscious, unthinking racism of my childhood years: the artists are being deliberately false in their depiction of ancient Britons, and -- worst of all -- they've cycled back to the old PRIMITIVE PEOPLE ARE BROWN-SKINNED trope.
Next they're going to be putting on minstrel shows in order to celebrate black contributions to American culture.

The list of things I truly care about is small and getting smaller. Whatever anybody else does isn't on that list.

I think most monarchists left are actually Queen Elizabeth II monarchists.
When King Charles finally totters onto the throne, and starts explaining how wonderful Islam and radical environmentalism is, expect a huge wave of republicanism in the British Commonwealth.

The Guardian:
For skin tone, there are a handful of genetic variants linked to reduced pigmentation, including some that are very widespread in European populations today. However, Cheddar Man had "ancestra" versions of all these genes, strongly suggesting he would have had "dark to black" skin tone, but combined with blue eyes.
Let's just say the scientists had strong incentives to portray Cheddar Man as black as possible, given the available genetic evidence.

I think the entire thing is a cold and calculated set up.
From the time he started dating, the type of girl he dated was exactly the same. Type doesn't even begin to describe it; you damn near can't tell them apart. Tall skinny blondes, without fail.
All of a sudden he turns up with a half black woman and is married in less than, what, two years?
Methinks someone decided they need to start appealing to the newer demographic in the UK. Louis has probably already been betrothed to some as yet unborn Muslim princess, House of S'Aud, don't you know.

Since they didn't know the skin color of Cheddar Man, they simply made the politically correct assumption regarding skin color.
Because all of our ancestors were actually black, including the ones who evolved in places with little sun and lots of rain. Ireland used to be inhabited solely by black people.

Talk to an actuary. The Queen Mother (also an Elizabeth), lived past 100 years. So did Victoria. Womenfolk in that family tend to be very long-lived. Menfolk, not so much. Of course, Prince Philip is still looking at the grass from the top side, and Chuck gets some of his DNA there, so it's anybody's guess at this point.

Depends on the locality. They love us here, for the most part. ARES is like any other organization, though. Some local groups are good others aren't, so that has an effect on how the local/state EMA views and uses them. The group discussed in the video isn't ARES affiliated, it's just the local hams that set up a system for their area. If you read the .pdf linked at the vid, they give real world examples of how their system has been useful with previous fires.

Something tells me the "translation" wasn't really accurate. Here's how I remember the dialogue:
Col: "By this time the contractions will be really intense."
Translator: "Ooga booga!"
"You should push as hard as you can, it won't be long until the baby starts coming out of the birth canal."
"Wooly bully shimmy shimmy koko bop!"

The meme has done its good work, and it's now out in the wild, and DJT can move on to better things, and let the Left, and Nickelback wallow in the malodor of the Streisand Effect.

Some ARES guys are like: "Well, someday we'll have an emergency where all the cellphones and landlines and internet are down, and then they'll want us. I run tube rigs because they are immune to nuclear attack."
I tell them, if the situation is that dire, probably the last thing people are going to be thinking about is "communicating."
I've read where some ARES guys working drills get stuck in the corner on their own isolated kiddie-table intranet, logging calls, and the pros don't even look at their logs.
Our local ARES group is desperate to recruit hams. I told them no, because I don't have any people skills, which would definitely be essential when trying to help people who obviously don't want my help.

I have fond memories of MASH growing up. I remember in the grade school paper a Korean-AMerican kid chastised us for watching it. He said it was full of sterrotypes. Maybe it was but was that kid living in Korea during the Korean War?
The thing about Mash is that while a good show, with some good actors, it was likely the most anti American and anti military show that every lasted in the USA. The Generals and Colonels were buffoons and war mongers, other than Col. Potter. Even with Col. Potter, he joked about a getting a Purple Heart when his still blew up.
Don't get me wrong, it was a good series with good acting. I still watch it to this day. But it is shocking the level of anti Americanism. They all admitted that the show was really about Vietnam and not Korea. In fact, no way people would have acted that way in the Korean War as most were proud and gung ho.
It is also interesting that Hawkeye from the original MASH book was a patriot. And finally, it becomes a joke at some point for anyone who has spent time in So. CA. The entire thing was shot int he hills of SoCal. It stands out if you are looking for it.

Phoenix channels DeNiro from King Of Comedy and Taxi Driver both; his Joker is now solidly in the top three with Ledger and Hamill. (Forget it, Jack; you've been demoted to the "camp" tier.) It was also a nice in-joke that Phoenix has DeNiro's character Murr-AY as his lodestone.
Joker is however a difficult movie to watch, since you are watching a descent into madness, not just Phoenix but also the whole of Gotham.

I can see your point. I'm looking at it from too narrow a perspective, here in northern Illinois, where the infrastructure is very dense and very reliable. If we ever do have a major major disaster where amateur radio is definitely needed, I hope the amateurs have the generators and fuel and cold-weather preparedness that they would need to be able to help. Our last winter field day was so cold that nobody participated, except the one guy with the great big RV.
To me radio is just a hobby, something to study and learn about and experiment with.

DC used to be different. Yes they were liberal and Demo, but they did not live that way. You go the the Whole Foods in Austin and it is full of hippies In DC, there are no hippies, they don't exist. The Dems only wanted power but they lived as conservatives. Only recently have you seen a change. They make a point of their leftyness this is something new. My guess is they have decided the tipping point has come. They can go full left now and pretend it was not another way. This is new to the DC area, but it sucks ass.
Only since Trump have Republicans stopped putting up their signs. They hide and check their views. That is new in DC.. I am sure it is the same around the country. When you have half a population scared of putting a s\ticker out or saying their piece in public, that is dangerous.

I made it 19 years between OG excursions, being trapped into the most recent about two years ago.
My impressions:
The breadsticks were about 2/3 the size that they were back in the mid/late '90s. And with that downsizing, the ratio of surface, salt/garlic, soft interior and certainly, recipe, had changed towards the "bland" bread experience.
The classic Olive Garden breadstick of yore was actually a WORTHY delight, maybe the only such served there.
The combo of Seafood and Cheese Tortelini was AWFUL.
They could have served it in a Gerber's Baby Food jar. "Mushy" would wildly be an understatement.
Flavor-wise, it wasn't.
It was like Italian food that had been cooked by Englishmen.
Hardly a bit of seasoning, and the cream sauce tasted more like "half & half with flour", than any chef-prepared sauce.
I left 2/3 of it on my plate, paid the tab, tipped the waitress (wasn't her fault), and left without a word.
The ONLY good thing, was that their Alfredo sauce w/ the breadsticks, was as good as I'd remembered.
Pity the rest.
And this is the same Ownership Group that holds sway over Red Lobster.

Put a small bowl of water out for it, and a plate with about 1/4 can of tuna.
DO the tuna. It's very aromatic, and will draw the kitteh to teh plate.
Set both within your line of sight, on the far side of whatever room you're in.
If the kitteh is tame, but scared, it will nibble, lap some water, and then come to you.
If it's wild, it will "stalk" the bowl and plate, but likely not engage, not daring to commit to "head-down-in-the-bowl" while the threat (you) still lurks.
If wild, you'll need a Hav a Hart trap.
Tame?
Skritches.

Brie is excessively soft, too celebrated by the wine-mom crowd, overpriced and overrated.

Real cheese of any kind is getting too expensive to eat. Actually, I'm seeing substantial price inflation in many everyday necessities lately. Not too surprising, with ballooning money printing and mandatory higher minimum wages. Any of you noticed it yet?

A late nite ? for the Horde.
I fed somebody's critters while they were out of town for three days.
Nice lady dropped off a $15 Starbucks gift card.
I avoid Starbucks like the plague, because there might be actual plague.
My idea was to drop it off at the nearest homeless camp, and encourage them to share.
Then I thought, no, leave it at the Starbucks and tell the homeless whores and druggies that it's there. But you have to guess the Code.
How much chaos might one create for Starbucks for a free $15 gift card.
I think.....a lot.
Suggestions welcome.

I used to like brie, until one day I sensed an ammonia flavor note in
it. Now I can't eat it anymore without noticing that. Same with some
blue-veined cheeses I used to like.

ammonia is bad unless it is the type the goes away after you open it. Brie De Meux is the best, particularly the type you can't get in the USA. in general I would go for a blue like Roqufort or Stilton. A nice blue with a sticky wine is Heaven.

The last time that happened to me, there were five kittens the next morning.
After weaning, found homes for the kittens. That's pretty easy, because cute.
Named mama 'Sarah'. She was an outdoor cat, never left the yard for the next six years, and as sweet a little animal as you can imagine. She used to sit on my shoulder and watch me while worked on whatever in the garage.
Dammit, now I'm getting misty thinking about her.

Hell yes. They have been pushing the $10 Six Pack for ages. They keep going for that price so as to tip it over. And it is not just craft beer. The macros are going right along.
Same with fast food, they are reaching the ten dollar mark for an number 1 or 2. They are pushing the boundaries for what people are willing to pay. Not long ago a fast food meal was $5. Now it is pushing $10. It says it all I guess.

I'm pretty much a "scratch cooking' household. Most foodstuff basics are holding the line, more or less.
Anything "processed" though? Even sliced REAL American cheese? Prices climbing.
Bacon prices are OMG.
The few canned goods I buy though, go always up, never down in price.
I can combat this by bulk purchases, and so, shall.
After that though? We'll see.

My fast food choices all average under the $3 mark.
I seldom engage w/ fast food as a dietary choice, but when work, lateness, tiny time window for lunch dictate, I'm good at leveraging that industry to MY advantage.
I can get protein and calories there, as needed, at a bargain.
Notice I did not lay claim to "feast", "sumptuous" or "delight".
Utilitarian food, with very few faults in the bargain.
And believe me, the way I order, it IS a Bargain!

Trust me, blue cheeses can go bad. But really, it is like wine. you have to have a lot of experience with it to figure it out. For the most part, the moldy cheeses in the good markets are ok. i have returned a few. For the most part, they smelled like bathroom cleaning supplies.

'Bout $2.00.
Today, w/ some carbs.
Taco Hell. 1. Bean & Cheese Burrito, no red sauce, no onions.
1. Bean & Cheese tostada (toasted corn tortilla), w/ beans, cheese, lettuce n' tomato.
Out the door for under $3 bucks.
And a full tummy with both.
Protein, animal fats and some vegetables, are far more "filling" than a bag fulla "chips".

Anyway, it tasted good. I usually make my own chili, but if somehow I run out of everything in the house, that's one of my go-to's so I can get strong enough to shop and cook.

This. The seasoning is better usually and the texture of the quarter pounder always struck me as off. The patties are much smaller on the triple, so it is less noticeable when biting through.

I can take them places.
Tapas, or the gunsmithing mecca which is Toledo?
They have choices.
Of which, I don't give a shit. I'll go to Toledo, and will always find a good bit to eat.
They can go elsewhere and do the same, but *I* might end up with a bespoke gun of impeccable pedigree, quality and purpose.

It being the MidEast, and Iraq, it's complicated, and effed up, but a major issue driving protests is .... resentment of Iranian influence and interference, in particular militarily, via controlled shi'a militia. But of course Iraq is doomed to be just a puppet of Tehran, being shi'a and all. Or something.
At least, as far as we know, Ukraine is not involved, nor do any Dem office-holders' children have financial stakes.

I didn't know that about Toledo. The only thing I know about Spanish guns is the Star 1911s. I love Spanish cuisine and and a tapas fiend. Of course I can see how some randos would miss out. I was once in in Spain with a guy that insisted on dinner at 6pm.
I love Spain, the culture and cuisine. I could live off jamon iberico, cod fritters, manchego, cabreles, cider,sherry and beer. But i have not made Toledo yet. I didn't know about the gunsmithing. My guess is they specialize in shotguns.

They do, and only as a VERY close 3rd behind Germany's Merkel and such.
Jolly Olde England still holds, #1 with Purdey, H&H, Rigby and more.
Fact be know though, a premium Spanish double is easily the equal or better of any of the German guns, and would threaten the Brits in a blind tasting.
Rifles though? The Brits took the Mauser action, gave it to Rigby, and the angels SANGED!
Or, if you prefer, the classic British Dangerous Game Rifle(s).
Doubles, in Nitro chamberings.
You can buy houses for the prices of these, and not hovels, either.
Six figures is not out of the realm for a current production Purdy.
And you're going to wait at least two years before it's your turn for "The Fitting". And about two more years before your gun is slated to be delivered.
You're going to fly to London a few times, for all of this of course.

i miss the McDLT. They never did it better but dumped it for the SJW global warming types. The packaging was just too evil.
The new Quarter Pounders are fresh, not frozen. But the few times i go to MCD, I go for the Big Mac. It is probably a nostalgia thing. I did have their attempt at a chicken sandwich today. It was ok, but they need to get rid of the bbq sauce.
BTW, I laugh about people freaking over the Popeyes' sandwich. Yeah, it was good, but what a joke of a company. The place is still inneficient as hell ANd not the cleanest place i have encountered. It has been a month since they "ran out" of chicken sandwiches. WTH? A month?
Some say buy the stock QSR. Fine, go for it. I don't know what is going to happen. But I do know that Popeyes is like 8 percent of their company. They are mostly the poorly performing Tim Horton's and the ultra lefty and poorly performing Burger King. Hell, maybe they will hit it out of the park with the BK impossible Burger and the Popeye's sandwich. But My guess is you have to actually have the sandwich to make a killing on it.

The best milk I have ever had was when the then-Miklos babe and I rented a farmhouse for a week near the Summer Medieval Games at at Hungary's largest remaining castle (the Habsburgs blew up the rest).
The farmer we rented from suggested trying the milk before putting it in the coffee. It was the richest, sweet, ultra deluxe milk ever. And warm, not cold.
I asked where this milk came from, and the farmer said "look out the window".
I looked at the cow, and the cow looked at me.

Not a dairy farm, just a hardscrabble family farm with a few cows, pigs and chickens, plus a small garden, for food as any grocery store was miles away and over a mountain (in either direction). Before the interstate came roaring through, going food shopping was an all-day affair.

Pro Tip on ANY fast food order.
Walk in, look the cashier in the eye, and in two way communication, make SURE that your order is taken correctly.
When delivered, open the wrappings and make SURE that those orders are correct, as ordered.
It's when they can't fix the original order, that one walks out, and simply drives away.
The "drive in" lanes are for those who ENJOY incorrect orders.

Why, when I was here last time we Deplorables were quite alone, desperately alone, and we had been so for five or six months. We had the unmeasured menace of the enemy and their Media attack still beating upon us, and you yourselves had had experience of this attack; and I expect you are beginning to feel impatient that there has been this long lull with nothing particular turning up!
But we must learn to be equally good at what is short and sharp and what is long and tough. It is generally said that the Morons are often better at the last. They do not expect to move from crisis to crisis; they do not always expect that each day will bring up some noble chance of war; but when they very slowly make up their minds that the thing has to be done and the job put through and finished, then, even if it takes months—if it takes years—they do it.

No defensive position is continuous over 1600 miles. What it should do is funnel attackers into zones defended by people or make transit unprofitable for infiltrators.
Ask anybody who has defended a fortified position and they will tell you it beats the hell out of a meeting engagement.

Every tax is a middle class tax. The AMT was designed to collect taxes
from about 100 families. Tax revenue from the AMT was about $122
million in 1970.
By 2014 it had grown to $28.6 billion.
Posted by: rhennigantx at October 04, 2019 06:46 AM (JFO2v)
The AMT was supposed to hit "rich" people only but they never indexed it for inflation and they refuse to fix it now. It was passed by the Democrats in 1969 and they never met a tax they didn't like.

I had to turn on the heat for the first time of the season last night.
A sweatshirt wasn't enough. And I wasn't going to wear a jacket sitting in my living room. It has been off since mid-May. I try to make it to October every year before it gets turned on, and did it again this year. I like the low bills in the summer months.

On 25 May 2006, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issued IRS Notice 2006-50, 2006 I.R.B. 25, which stated in part:
[... ] the Internal Revenue Service will follow the
holdings of Am. Bankers Ins. Group v. United States, 408 F.3d 1328 (11th
Cir. 2005) (ABIG); OfficeMax, Inc. v. United States, 428 F.3d 583 (6th
Cir. 2005); Nat'l R.R. Passenger Corp. v. United States, 431 F.3d 374
(D.C. Cir. 2005) (Amtrak); Fortis v. United States, 2006 U.S. App. LEXIS
10749 (2d Cir. Apr. 27, 2006); and Reese Bros. v. United States, 2006
U.S. App. LEXIS 11468 (3d Cir. May 9, 2006). These cases hold that a
telephonic communication for which there is a toll charge that varies
with elapsed transmission time and not distance (time-only
service) is not taxable toll telephone service as defined in §4252(b)(1)
of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, amounts paid for time-only
service are not subject to the tax imposed by §4251. Accordingly, the
government will no longer litigate this issue [....] [emphasis added]
I think that means they no longer apply the tax.
