I'm liking the Insurrection Act idea more and more. I don't share much of anything any more with Lefties, anyway. Not beliefs, not Rule of Law, not which brand of mayo to use.

What about at age 35 (and beyond) having a fork in your cutlery drawer you positively like, that you seek out for certain jobs?
I have a mess setting from my Dad's now long retired Navy ship. (I don't think she's even in mothballs anymore and was probably sold for scrap many moons ago.) The fork and tines are quite sturdy and is perfect for forking a potato before baking along with heavy fork mixing duties, pancake batter for example, as well as fork lifting duties like getting a piece of meat out of the egg wash and into the breading.

Democrats' national leader, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and her husband, Paul Pelosi, are endorsing the publicly traded firm in a different way. Recent financial disclosure filings show the couple have invested up to $1 million in CrowdStrike Holdings.
Today:
FireEye, CrowdStrike, and Other Security Stocks Rally on SolarWinds Hack
This hack has been reported to be going on for months.
Did the Pelosis know about this hack when they invested ?
Was the hack part of the election hijinks ?
Did it spread to hide the initial target ?

Question for the horde.
Mrs. K requires cataract surgery for both eyes. The doctor has provided her with two choices for the lens replacements. One is a simple lens for which she'd likely need some type of eyeglasses afterward (likely for closeup reading). The other is a "trifocal" lens for which a continued need for corrective lenses would be less likely, with a side effect of possible light halos during night driving.
Has anyone here anything to recommend regarding these choices? Myself, I am leery of the "no corrective lenses required afterward" promise for the trifocal option.

There is a tory about Princess Margret (Queen Elizabeth's sister) and her love of silverware.
Well one day, she was visiting a country estate and remarked the the silver ware looked familiar. The host replied that it was yay-hundred years old and exclusively crested to his family. But the Princess insisted ...
A few weeks later a package arrived at the estate ... a spoon from the yay-hundred year old set that had been in Windsor castle, possibly taken there during the Regency when the Prince had been offered something while visiting the estate and had been eating it on the carriage ride home ...

My ophtho recommended the "plain" replacements. Said that the focusing lenses were a lot more $$$ not covered by insurance and that a pretty fair percentage (like 20%) of his patients that got them were not happy with them.

Got the plain ones. I've worn glasses most my life, and the "pitch" of the do-all, end-all" didn't appeal to me much.
Interestingly, I bought a drone, with the mega-death camera, and then bought the goggles.
With my bifocals, I couldn't see squat with those goggles.
The solution was $7 reading glasses from the local mini-mart.
With the megadeath do all lenses, turns out there would have been no solution.

My co-worker, who absolutely loves dogs, had a border collie when his kids were much younger. The collie loved to nip at their heels and herd them as well. Caused no end of grief for any guests they had over.
One day, when a dog walker took the collie out for its walk, he broke away from the pack and got run over by a car, killing it.
When my co-worker's wife ended up giving him the bad news, he told me that while he was broken up over the death, a part of him was quite relieved at the same time.
He ended up getting another dog, but made it a point to match the breed to his family's living habits first.

We have a wrinkle in doggie daycare around here (county just outside DC with a suburban and rural divide) where people who work 12+ a day and commute 2-3 hrs also get dogs who need something to do, activity, companionship, more purpose than living in a crate and waiting for that hour or two of quality time a day.
There are people here with hobby sheep who make bank selling herding time to suburbanites with border collies, and give classes on it, so the dogs don't completely lose their minds being cooped up while fed worker mom and dad are on the road or in the office.

Well, Amazon may be the devil, but they have a fantastic selection of cheap and good readers. I have them scattered all over the house so I am never without a pair. And at less than $3/pair, I can buy new ones in the correct correction without a problem.

As do I. And corrected, I also have 20/10 vision, and they could not guarantee me that without correction afterward, so I went with the cheap option, and minimal correction.
I'm legal to drive without correction, but I don't, cause I want GREAT vision, not "adequate" vision.

My eye surgeon recommended the plain single-vision lenses. He said the Pseudo-adaptive" ones are not yet ready for prime time. I am pleased. I can read the HQ fine on-screen from 2 feet away, no struggle at all. And I can read a menu or newspaper, if the light is good. For really small print, or delicate close-up work, dollar-store readers help a lot.

I ended upmspringing for some prescription lenses in inexpensive frames for readers, and I'm very happy I did. I had the measurement made there, sitting at a desk with a small print book on a desk in front of me. I said this is what I want in perfect focus, measure the distance, measure my eyes. Perfect.

That's really sad. Unfortunately herding dogs get hit by cars, lots of dogs do. At our lake place the neighbors tell me let my dogs off the leash, what could happen, and my answer is hit by car. There aren't many cars but it only takes one. They get off leash there if we're actively engaged with them, playing frisbee or fetch. At home they live off leash.

I don't see the problem with jelly jar glasses. I still have a glass mug with a handle that I bought at the grocery store because it came with brown horseradish mustard. Heck, I remember when Shell gas stations were giving out blue cocktail glasses with football logos on them, along with other blue glassware (I still have some of the stemmed single serving pudding bowls). I also remember DUZ detergent having place setting pieces and other items in their boxes. People pay good money for that stuff now.

The Left is certainly happy to spend a lot of TV screen time telling us that giving the Covid vaccine is racist. Again and again and again.
Maybe it's because more black people have Vitamin D and zinc deficiency. It has been shown that those that catch Covid, and the worst cases, are in those that have Vitamin D deficiency.
But in the last 8 months, have you seen these superior Dems and Progda tell everyone to take their Vitamin D supplements?
No would be the correct response.

It does seem that the genre of noir, although always described as being from the 1940s and 50s, never really went away. Case in point: Blade Runner.

That's really sad. Unfortunately herding dogs get hit by cars, lots of dogs do. At our lake place the neighbors tell me let my dogs off the leash, what could happen, and my answer is hit by car. There aren't many cars but it only takes one. They get off leash there if we're actively engaged with them, playing frisbee or fetch. At home they live off leash.
Posted by: Evasiveboat42 at December 18, 2020 11:15 PM (Rz2Nc)
Few weeks ago my wife got back from a walk/frisbee session with our pup. She took the leash off just before she opened the gate to go in our side yard. Clover, for some reason, frisbee still in mouth, decided to dash into the street, in front of a car. Wife didn't know if she was going for the car, or something else on the other side of the street. The car drove over her but, miraculously, she came out on the other side unhurt. The frisbee wasn't so lucky; got gouged up when it got stuck under the skidding front wheel. I was out of town, and my wife called me, in a frantic state... she was about to have a nervous breakdown. Now we keep Clover on leash whenever we're near the street... which is a bummer 'cause I liked to walk her off-leash. But I couldn't face my wife if something were to happen to the pup under my watch.

Ahhhhh. Foook me.
Smash has at least seven different knives for cooking. One for meat, one for veg (but not 'maters), one for shaving corn off the cobb, a really slender long one for the 'maters. No fucking clue what the other three are for. She uses all of them. They're reasonable quality steele, Hinkles, i think. They are hard steele, difficult to put an edge on, but whoa nellie when i get it right.
Over the years, 38 next Oct., she's had the same knives. I've always been ok with small knives, but i've learned how to sharpen these particular knives to where they are scary sharp.
As in, be right careful how i wash them sharp. I've cut myself to the bone multiple times washing them after sharpening them without feeling it.
Smash is, particular, about her cooking knives.
I'm just happy to put them into the co dition she likes to cook with, as i am a fat bastard from her her good cooking.
Rambling.
Yes, favorite knife.
About seven inches in length, filet a two inch thick piece of battleship armor. Good for 'maters, and any sumbitct stupid enough to diss Smash's cooming.

Car stopped for the German shepherd to let him cross but didn't see the miniature schnauzer and the poor little rat got beaned.
He wasn't hurt. Scratched up but mostly just shook up. From that day on whenever you walked him and a car came down the street he would hop up onto the sidewalk or grass and wait for it to pass.

I've noticed they seem to be going in two directions, what I'd call 'utility malls' and 'destination malls.'
My nearest mall is, for better or worse, turning into a utility mall. Its most popular stores are Target and Costco. In other words, it's made up mostly of stores you'd go to for necessities. There are a few nice touches of course-- it has a California Pizza Kitchen and an H&M, among a few other higher-end retailers-- but those aren't major draws.
Then in the town directly east of me, Cerritos, their mall is what I'd call a destination mall. They have a lot more high-end retailers including Nordstrom, Abercrombie & Fitch, and Banana Republic, and a very well-appointed movie theater.

I'm just shopping the goggles these days. Meanwhile, a Night Vision Scope on the rifle serves as a poor man's substitute.
Meanwhile, the 24-5/8" barrel on the CZ-452 Lux, coupled with subsonic ammo.. No expensive can, no Federal Anal Exam, and no $200 stamp to make it all work.
It's quiet enough to hear the firing pin striker hit the brass case. Pings the 10" steel 10/10 at 100 yards, too.
Fieldcraft/Woodcraft though?
I've became rather skilled at that, over the years.
If they send a Company of Daniel Boon Hillbillies, I'm in trouble. (we all are, then, too.)
More likely they'll send a platoon of Antifa.

I'm taking three rifles to the range on Sunday. 6.5x55, 6.5 Creedmore, and 5.56.
Ruger Hawkeye M-77 African, Thompson-Center Compass and Rock-River AR-15 w/ Lothar-Walther 18" stainless 1:8 bbl & .223 Wylde chamber.
I think I've got things narrowed down to the right loads, for some truly Sub-MOA results, with each.
When I get 'em dialed in, I'll stop expending ammo with each of them.
I'm blessed with one particular blessing for which I am VERY thankful. I don't find my shooting skills to be perishable, in the slightest.
From '99 to '04, I never fired off so much as a single round.
Ended up with a 3rd place finish in an '04 IDPA match, in Stock Service Revolver class.
My first experience with IDPA, ever.
And I can sit behind a rifle and shoot cloverleafs, if all else is agreeable.
What PRACTICE does for me though?
Improves my TIMES. Reduces my FUMBLES. Calms my MIND.
Practice IS VALUABLE.
And I'm thankful that I get to practice the times, fumbles and mental drills, vs. the basics of tiny groupage.

One of them is to set myself up a classic stereo system. I miss having one.
I built a workbench so I can go through all the junker CB radios I bought off ebay. Hoping they mostly just need new caps and then I can sell them off to the next sucker.
Then I'll tackle refurbishing the Grundig console unit from the late 50s that's in the living room. Or maybe the late 60s/early 70s Sansui receiver...

I do have to say, though, that EVERYONE I know who's gotten cataract surgery (and I know a surprising number of them, for such a young guy) has been happy they got it.
I can't say that about any other surgery I've ever heard of.
Back surgery, on the other hand... it's hard for me to think of anyone who IS happy with that.

Awwww. The Heritage speakers are about the most naturally "voiced" projectors I've ever heard for a sub $1k price.
They cover the entire range, instrument or voice, and are very forgiving as to placement, reflectivity or background.
There *are* better speakers. Lots of 'em. Mostly, for more money, or requiring more precise placement, reflectivity or background.
Bang for the buck.
Gimme the Heritage, every time.

Anyway, funny story 'bout naming our dog...
Got her @ 8 weeks old as a surprise Mother's Day gift for Average Wife. Went back & forth with AW & the Average Kids about what to name her. Unfortunately my suggestion - Gertrude - was rejected. So somehow we came to a consensus on Clover. Shortly thereafter we realized we didn't know what her birthday was, and thought it would be nice to know (all our other dogs came from rescues and shelters, so we never knew their birthdays). I asked the guy I got her from (a backyard breeder) and he told me: March 17th... St. Patrick's Day!

Cerwin Vega speakers were designed around the idea of an exaggerated base note for hard rock and the early onset of heavy metal.
Give 'em this though. They could handle the heavy power of late '70s Silver Face ultra high powered amps and receivers of the time.
Bose could, too.
But only if you placed them in a room designed IDENTICALLY to the Bose Test Studio "acoustic space" labs.
One of the worst sounding speakers ever, is a Bose 901, played in the open at a family picnic.
Just. NO.
Same speaker in a 16'x20' room, from the long corners, with a simple drapery covering the wall behind them?
Sublime.
But ONLY in such a setting.
And your choice of tile or hardwood or carpeted floor? Would decide everything.
I *respect* Bose, their labs and their end products.
But not their marketing, retail suggestions or thoughts as to usage, placement or such.
Even their vaunted Wave Radio is a bitch as to where sited.
Act, accordingly.

Chinese coal prices were 500 yuan ($100) last month but increased 760 yuan ($153) per tonne on Wednesday, which has now resulted in restrictions on power use for millions of residents, according to South China Morning Post.
Some 57 million people live in Zhejiang province, south of Shanghai, on China's east coast, and have been besieged by power shortages resulting in electricity being shut off.
The Zhejiang provincial government has now ordered offices to only use heating when the temperature drops below 3C (37.4 Farenheit), also seen is an online notice to a middle school in Zhejiang, banning staff and students from turning on heating if temperatures exceeded 3 degrees.
According to China's state-owned broadcaster CCTV, lights and lifts in some office buildings were shut off in a several cities across Hunan and Zhejiang. The power outages forced some office workers in Hunan's city of Changsha to climb 20 to 30 flights of stairs, according to a report in the local news publication iFeng.
China's central government claims there are no power shortages.

(My original prescription was -8.5 diopters).
If I had to do it again, I'd pick the trifocal option.

526 As to astigmatism, they can correct that in the new lenses for a mere $1000 extra (total extra cost, not per eye).

Are you talking about something like lasik as eyeglass relacement? Or something pertaining specifically to cataracts?
Yes, specifically to cataract surgery. We paid the surgeon an extra $1000 to get astigmatism corrected. It is a slight procedure tweak, probably a slightly different lens too.
An eye doc friend says they twist the lens orientation during surgery using a scope and techy equipment.

Nope. I'm basically fucked. I do have a (very labor intensive ) plan to tilt the whole cabinet on its side, after emptying the top portion, to see if I can get the the ammo to 'settle'.
Otherwise, the tire iron option comes into play.

Do you think Twitter is going to allow anything Trump tweets to be publicly viewed? He will be put on suspension like everybody else that disagrees with what Twitter wants you to believe.
607
I hope there was that discussion, but most likely not as it would be breaking news this morning about how Trump was mean to him, and how nobody should be treated that way. Well, unless you're Trump that is.
