Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Tuesday Overnight Open Thread (1/12/21)Quote I ‘Social media, at the hands of powerful people – influencers, amplifying lies and untruths, is crippling our belief system, turning us against one another. We are not enemies. We must find a way home.’ Neil Young Quote II “You have a photograph of our client in a building, unauthorized to be there, with what appears to be a podium or a lectern, I’m not exactly sure which one it is called, but that’s what we have,’’ Attorney Dan EckhartQuote III “I just think we need to treat domestic terrorists the way we do actual terrorists. I think we need to consider all possibilities. I’m not against sending these people to Gitmo. These are domestic terrorists who attacked our own Republic. They should be treated the same way we treat Al Qaeda,” Meghan McCain Quote IV “We simply cannot stay closed until the vaccine hits critical mass. The cost is too high. We will have nothing left to open. We must reopen the economy, but we must do it smartly and safely,” New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo On Tuesday, Uganda punched back at Facebook and Twitter by banning them from the internet after the two companies started censoring Uganda officials ahead of the election in the country. "We demand that @Facebook & @Twitter write directly to the individuals that lost their accounts. Since @Facebook cited @MoICT_Ug in their statement, let them write to us so that there’s a chance for a fair hearing. Accounts lost on Facebook belong to @GovUganda employees," tweeted Uganda Media Centre. Irresponsible Rep says he knows rioters wanted to kill blacks The man who thinks additional military on Guam could tip the island over, Rep. Hank Johnson said he has no doubt the rioters would have killed black congressmen if they had gotten into the Chamber. He made the irresponsible comment to Al Sharpton on his show. He even said he had ‘no doubt.’ He credited his survival to the death of the Air Force veteran’s death. He said the shooting kept the mob from getting in. The newest factor of "the cost of doing business": Want to return your last online purchase? Amazon says don’t bother When you receive a faulty or unwanted item, Amazon usually asks you to initiate a return for a refund or replacement. However, if the item is inexpensive, it might cost the company a lot to ship it back to the warehouse. So, companies like Amazon and Walmart are asking customers to keep these items to save some money. According to a report from the Wall Street Journal, these online retail giants are using AI to determine if it economically makes sense to initiate a return of an unwanted item. Colorado Congresswoman Lauren Boebert appeared on Next9News after Democrats called for her resignation following her tweets going viral on social media while the chamber was on lockdown. Rep. Eric Swalwell blasted Boebert Monday, tweeting “Like any citizen who has committed a crime, Lauren Boebert has the right to remain silent. I suggest that she use it.” Boebert fired back asking Swalwell “Did you give the same legal advice to Fang Fang?” (the alleged Chinese spy Swalwell was connected to.) It is always fun to see how the other side lives. Especially if they are wealthy and live by other rules than us regular deplorables. Madonna loves to fly. Despite coronavirus travel restrictions Madonna has reportedly flown to London, Malawi and Kenya in the past three weeks. On Christmas Eve, she is said to have flown from LA to London with her boyfriend, backing dancer Ahlamalik Williams, and four of her children, David Banda, 15, Mercy James, 14, and twins Estere and Stella, both eight. She then collected her son Rocco, 20, with the group making the journey to Malawi, and then on to Kenya in early January. According to The Sun, her travels to Africa also involved a stopover in Egypt. Sources close to the star told the publication that she and her family have been taking regular coronavirus tests. The mum-of-six has been sharing photos and videos from her travels on Instagram, sharing a video from a plane on December 30 and writing: ‘Warm Heart Of Africa.’ Certainly there are better ways to control panic attacks. A West Valley City man is accused of assaulting a woman he allegedly asked to use a taser on him when he had panic attacks, police reported. Ashten Lawrence, 20, was booked into the Salt Lake County Jail on charges of assault, a class B misdemeanor, and aggravated assault, a third-degree felony, according to a probable cause affidavit. During an argument on Jan. 2, Lawrence began to have a panic attack. A woman told police that Lawrence had got her a taser for Christmas and "told her to use it on him if he ever went into a panic attack because he would become violent during said panic attacks," the affidavit states. The woman said she feared for her safety and used the taser on the back of Lawrence's neck. How far will governments go before the people snap? UK Government May Only Let People Out Once A Week Claiming that the National Health service is at breaking point, the government is said to be considering implementing stricter rules, including compulsory mask-wearing outdoors, and banning so called ‘extended bubbles’, where people are allowed to meet one person from another household. Most chilling, however, is the revelation that cabinet ministers have privately debated preventing people from talking to each other in the street and in supermarkets, and even preventing people from leaving home more than once per week, and introducing curfews. CALIFORNIA’S INTERNET CENSORSHIP OFFICE IS WATCHING WHAT YOU SAY "Report misinformation," a flier from California's Office of Election Cybersecurity blares. Social media users are urged to report "misleading" materials to the Secretary of State's office. A government office created by California Democrats is monitoring hashtags, classifying political speech it opposes by “threat level”, taking screenshots of posts, and then storing the information indefinitely, before reporting the offending speech to social media companies for censorship. Perhaps California will follow the lead of Belarus. You’re Under Arrest. Snow Kidding. Although it is against the rules. I learned a long time ago: Write the damn passwords down. Lost Passwords Lock Millionaires Out of Their Bitcoin Fortunes Bitcoin owners are getting rich because the cryptocurrency has soared. But what happens when you can’t access that wealth because you forgot the password to your digital wallet? A federal judge has granted a stay of execution pending a competency hearing to Lisa Montgomery, who was scheduled to be put to death on Jan. 12 for murdering a pregnant woman and cutting the baby out of her womb. Montgomery, the only woman on federal death row, in 2004 strangled Bobbie Jo Stinnett, who was eight months pregnant at the time, before cutting out the baby, which survived. Stinnett succumbed to her wounds. Judge James Hanlon of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana wrote in the Jan. 11 order (pdf), “Ms. Montgomery’s motion to stay execution is GRANTED to allow the Court to conduct a hearing to determine Ms. Montgomery’s competence to be executed.” Hanlon noted that Montgomery’s guilty verdict and sentencing were upheld on both appeal and during post-proceeding relief hearings, and that the matter considered in the petition for a stay of execution only relates to whether Montgomery may be lawfully executed in her current mental state. Not to be outdone, Judge Tanya Chutkan of the U.S. District Court in Washington states I'll see your one killer and raise you one. But Judge Tanya Chutkan of the U.S. District Court in Washington today ordered a delay on the executions of both convicted murderers until at least March 16, in a move intended to allow them to recover from coronavirus infections. The ruling, though likely to be challenged by the Justice Department, pushes the execution into the administration of President-elect Joe Biden, who is due to take office on January 20 and opposes the death penalty. Lawyers for Johnson, 52, and Higgs, 48, argued before Judge Tanya Chutkan of the U.S. District Court in Washington earlier this month that their damaged lung tissue would rupture more quickly after lethal doses of pentobarbital, a powerful barbiturate, had been administered. On this day: 12 Jan 2003 On this day: 12 Jan 1926 If you are going to learn, learn from the good and the bad. Genius Award Winners. The Santa Cruz Harbor Master has launched a formal investigation following the Sunday rescue of a dozen novice sailors from large ocean swells. These fishermen will have quite the tale to tell. Tonight's Feel Good Story of The Day. Two men were out on a winter’s fishing day when they happened on a frantic baby deer that was trapped on a frozen lake. From there, a daring ice rescue began. Bransen Jackson and his friend saw the fawn trying and failing to stand on the slippery surface of Utah’s Panguitch Lake. Jackson said to his pal, “Dude, that’s a deer!’ We gotta go save it of course.” The pair told 2KUTV News that they began carefully making their way over the thin ice. At one point, Jackson’s friend’s boot went through a crack. That was a shock to the nerves, but they decided they couldn’t just let the young mule deer sit there. When they finally reached the fawn, Jackson told 2KUTV, “I picked it up and it was super calm, super docile, like it kind of understood OK these guys are going to try and help me.” Tonight's ONT has been brought to you by Heartfelt Gifts.

My wife, holding a wheel of semi-soft camembert to my head, forced me to watch five minutes of ABC news.

I just think we need to treat domestic terrorists the way we do actual terrorists. I think we need to consider all possibilities. I'm not against sending these people to Gitmo. These are domestic terrorists who attacked our own Republic. They should be treated the same way we treat Al Qaeda
Really? Because the Go-To for our government is to gas our citizens - something we can't do to foreigners. Also, Geneva prevents the military from using hollow points, but the domestic forces have no restrictions on the ammunition they can and routinely use against American citizens. The Pentagram lawyers prevent soldiers from entering houses of worship, hospitals, women's shelters and schools but the domestic forces attacked a church, gunned down, laid a siege and later gassed and torched to death men, women and children with extreme prejudice. I would love it if the domestic forces were as handicapped as military in dealing with so-called "terrorists".

Internet and social media are just tools, they have nothing to do with "turning us against each other". Look at the Twitter feed that has nothing but puppy pictures. Or pets doing amazing tricks (staged videos, but still). Or remote natural wonder photos. Now look at the one with idiots screaming at each other. Now look at the one where some of the world's leading scientists and data experts are dismantling the faux science and public health vandalism that has been ravaging the planet.

My brother once ordered a refrigerator from Sears and they delivered it to his house in the country when no one was home. It had a dent in the side and so he called them and told them he wanted a new one. They told him to just keep that one and they'd bring him another. So, he had two large refrigerators. Still does. He put the side with the dent next to a wall.

Here's the bottom line: there aren't 73 million leftists willing to put themselves at risk to enforce the police state they want to bring us. I doubt if there are even 73 thousand of them. They will find it impossible to do all the things they want to do, even if they were competent to get them done. Will they do some damage? Sure. I expect economic malaise, international blunders, and a general decline in our sense of well-being. But will they destroy America? No. Will they give the LIVs an abject lesson in what it means to elect Democrats? You bet. It'll stick for at least a decade, until people forget again.
The Old Testament is replete with the same story over and over again, how the people of Israel strayed from God's Law, got punished for it, and returned for a while, then started the cycle over. We're getting punished, but we're not getting exiled to Babylon or Egypt. This too will pass. Posted by: Caesar North of the Rubicon at January 12, 2021 10:33 PM (BMmaB) 137

And I fear you're correct. On the very long list of devastatingly depressing consequences of the election/whatever else we want to call it, is the bail-out of the s**thole states. This is really a calamity, a specific concrete thing that most likely either wouldn't happen or be kept very limited with Trump in the WH.

We did muse over how long before some people would come along and abuse the policy by deliberating buying things they want but then demanding a refund just because they want to game the system and get it free. This idea of yours to just cost them money means that it will just end up costing me and others since Amazon will pass the shrinkage on to other customers.

The Old Testament is replete with the same story over and over again,
how the people of Israel strayed from God's Law, got punished for it, and returned for a while, then started the cycle over. We're getting punished, but we're not getting exiled to Babylon or Egypt. This too will pass. The problem is we are effectively occupied by China. It's by bribes rather than troops (at the moment, but don't be surprised when "we" start doing joint drills with the Canadians), so there's some possibility the federal government will fail to remain bought, and maybe distract itself with infighting over turf and priorities. But the party controls the election process and there's no foreseeable, practical way to get that back so that we determine our leaders again. So the Babylonian exile isn't a bad comparison in terms of foreseeable duration. I'm not claiming either of us are prophets, but I note God was really unhappy with prophets in Jeremiah's time who insisted all would be fine in a little while.

We're getting punished, but we're not getting exiled to Babylon or Egypt. This too will pass.
When God lays down punishment, it comes with the declaration and the sentence delivered through a prophet/messenger. None of these random strikes. It would be the same as you beating the dog for crapping on the carpet the day after the event. It would be better to view this as removing the restraining hand of mercy. Up until recently, the Church has been delivering enough salt and light to mitigate much of the usual effects of sinners doing their job description. That is, your problem isn't God judging, it is a consequence of the assholes around you devoting themselves to making your life miserable. When judgement comes it will be the book end to the Great Flood, not some series of inconveniences. Posted by: Observer at January 12, 2021 10:48 PM (C+evo) 251

Most chilling, however, is the revelation that cabinet ministers have
privately debated preventing people from talking to each other in the street and in supermarkets, and even preventing people from leaving home more than once per week, and introducing curfews.

So look, republican voters. You made a mistake trusting your vote to mean something. That's over. Now on to the next step.
I remember the interview of the defendants after the court settled that Operation Rescue was to pay Planned Parenthood millions of dollars. It was something like a quarter million per defendant. One guy felt totally liberated because he knew every dollar that he would earn above what the court would allow him to keep would go to his mortal enemy, so his pursuit of money was OVER and with that temptation gone, he could devote himself to a different life path.

But the party controls the election process and there's no foreseeable, practical way to get that back so that we determine our leaders again. So the Babylonian exile isn't a bad comparison in terms of foreseeable duration.

Greetings from snowy Canuckistan and thanks for the ONT, MisHum!
I am awaiting clarification as to whether I am allowed to drive my car, alone, to my non-essential business and continue doing 30% of my normal sales thru curbside pickup, or be forced to stay home and do only online sales. There was a whole huge press conference about these possibilities today, but of course it was as clear as tapioca. The consensus seems to be non-essential businesses can continue to sell curbside, but people are not allowed to drive for non-essential purposes. Which translated means: I can stay open, but customers had better not show up, but if they don't, it's not our problem and don't ask us for any money.

Alex Acosta gave the game away when he gave that press conference about his roll in giving Epstein a sweetheart deal in Florida. Epstein was an IC asset, he was a human compromat generator, his role was to hobknob and associate with the super-rich of the Western World to entice or create situations where they would become controllable to the Deep State, he would also feed human intel back into the IC and Deep State. And he's dead, so, as the saying goes, dead men tell no tales. Posted by: Thomas Bender at January 12, 2021 11:00 PM (+nmVv) 331

Eleanor Rigby
Hell of a choice, MisHum. I was talking a few months ago with millennials that were actually on the aware side of that group. Low bar, I agree. The conversation came around to the Beatles, and being the gray hair in the group, all of them engaged me and wanted to know all kinds of stuff about them, and my opinion. I just said to look at music before 1963, and after. Two of them were musically intelligent enough to understand what I said, and one even blurted out "yeah, that Turn, Turn, Turn song from the Byrds would have never happened". I felt like a proud papa. Posted by: LeftCoast Dawg at January 12, 2021 11:07 PM (sy5kK) 366

Posted by: LeftCoast Dawg at January 12, 2021 10:39 PM (sy5kK) While I agree with the thesis of hyperinflation, remember that there is no alternative to the dollar as a reserve currency - every other possible currency is worse, and the "crypto-currencies" are the worst ponzi schemes of all.

Posted by: rhomboid at January 12, 2021 10:33 PM (OTzUX) Rhomboid, you are, unfortunately, quite correct in your assessment. Getting rid of SALT was the last, best chance for smart blue states to bite the bullet and do what needed to be done to control their budgets, and do so by putting the blame on Trump. This was their 'get out of jail free' card, which they could have used - along with COVID - to shed the deadweight.

409: I remember, some years ago, as a young man, looking to Brittney Spear's video (i think it was "threesome") and thinking, "this is it -- it can't sink further, or else the culture would be actual porn and that can't be a pop culture."
I've since learned. I now think these gender-play games are the end -- near to (if not the ultimate) in degeneracy -- as they deal with the subversion of the immutable traits of existence. It's a sign of hyper-prosperity, and the end of the cycle. Posted by: Revenant at January 12, 2021 11:19 PM (+4D1M) 424

If you care to crack open a history book, one this is abundantly clear: since the expulsion from the Garden, life has been a total living Hell for the 99% while the 1% tormented the 99% to build monuments. Consider the two hundred or so years of the United State's existence as the equivalent of a cold front blowing through Hell. Its rare, short-lived, localized and it mitigates a bit from the absolute heat, then is gone.

When the Missouri was still in Bremerton, I was driving near it one afternoon and stopped by. Only a few other people there, and the old gal was in magnificent shape. One could tour and some of radio gear was behind glass or plastic. Even then, in the early '80's, it looked so primitive.

If the government takes what it wants of the usufruct, leaving you the remainder it chooses to leave you, and regulates how you use it, then who has title to it is just an administrative question, because government effectively "owns" it.

I don't know if you subscribe to Universalism, but the passage you refer
to is in Hebrews and it reads "God Chastens Whom He Loves" and then a self-test... Not a universalist, no. To the extent we get to share in the punishment of the nation, it's largely because we've made too many compromises with the people of the World in order to get along. But I do think the nation was a special project designed to show what was possible even in this world if we made some effort to organize and treat each other as God intends, and take personal responsibility for doing right rather than letting someone else (typically a "government") do that thinking for us. Folks can argue which of the founding Fathers were deist or really Christian, but the people who followed them were overwhelmingly so, and the rest of the world sees us as a Christian nation regardless. So His name is on the line if we get away with ever increasing wickedness. Posted by: Methos at January 12, 2021 11:36 PM (kOpft) 492

At some point the right is truly going to have to internalize the idea that for decades we put our trust in institutions and people that hate us. You can tell that it hasn't really sunk in yet when you see people on the right still arguing in terms of the constitution and the law, appealing to reason and logic, good faith and common values, pointing out hypocrisy and contridictions.

The officer who died may not have been hit with a fire extinguisher - they haven't been able to find a video that backs this charge up - but that he may have died due to an existing medical condition: "According to sources familiar with the matter, authorities believe Sicknick's death was driven by a medical condition. They're also investigating reports that he was attacked with a fire extinguisher or another item at the Capitol, sources said. So far, reports of an attack haven't been confirmed and authorities are hoping to locate video or other imagery from the scene."

To follow is just my $.02 worth, I am not a theologian, just a Christian and student of the Bible.

Having farmed in N IL there is some of the best in spots, I had a 100+ acre field along the river that was rich former river bottom land. But the best was down around Bloomington, where I went to college. Lots of really rich soil, touted as some of the best in the world. Posted by: Farmer at January 12, 2021 11:06 PM (55Qr6) ********* I was curious about this too and I looked it up on Wikipedia. That area, pretty much, is known as Forever Springtime for the weather it has. All-time lows in the low 40s, with the all-time highs not being much over the 90s. And plenty of rainfall - something like 30 inches a year to 70 inches. Not too much, not too little. Looks like an area where one could get six crops in a year or so. I'm guessing that the soil is pretty good but I don't know how to judge this one. Posted by: Sasquatch, the Original Trans-Wookie at January 12, 2021 11:52 PM (xxG/v) 547

If it was a mob-mob the killing of an unarmed woman would have had the direct result of the mob-mob mobbing the mobsters in the chambers and killing them all. This is how you really know if it was a mob-mob.

I was curious about this too and I looked it up on Wikipedia. That
area, pretty much, is known as Forever Springtime for the weather it has. All-time lows in the low 40s, with the all-time highs not being much over the 90s. And plenty of rainfall - something like 30 inches a year to 70 inches. Not too much, not too little. Looks like an area where one could get six crops in a year or so. Northern Illinois?

We haven't come further than the 1960s (except in computing / tech). No new philosophy, no new understanding of governing. Back in the 1930s, "fascism" was seen as the new way -- the new age, in direct replacement of the decadent democracies of the West. Have we arrived at that moment now?

Agreed. Also, the point of Christianity is to follow in the footsteps of Christ, and a life without persecution, while not inherently bad, is not tracking His very well. Enduring injustice without seeking vengeance helps believers get on the same wavelength as their Lord. And, realistically, only evil people can offer the gift of such persecution -- it isn't going to come from a true brother or sister. It also offers opportunities for Christians to find ways to support one another, and earn friends on earth and treasure in heaven. Posted by: perilisk at January 13, 2021 12:29 AM (9p+wn) 677

The Sequoia engine is famous for longevity and power. But I would not trust a dealer to inspect their own used vehicle for sale unless you know the dealer well. There have been quite a few recalls on the earlier Sequioa models. I guess it is good they fix these issues, but i have never had more recall notices for a vehicle I have owned.
I love the power of the engine but it is a serious gas eater. As for red flags, I would be most concerned with computer stuff, sensors, etc. And some of those limited power train warranties do not cover them. I wouldn't buy a warranty on a used vehicle today if it did not cover computer and sensor stuff. My suggestion is to get a pro to check it out from stem to stern. Have them check for any faults with electronics, etc. And also go online to look up that specific year as each model year is different and they have their own issues. If my review my review does not sound glowing, it is because it is not. I wish I had someone who would have given me this advice a few years ago. It doesn't hurt to be sure before you pay up.

In the Obama ammo shortage, Cheaper Than Dirt went into highest price possible mode for ammo.
It was available, sort of, but at double the prices of what there was on shelves. A lot of people thought it was like charging a thousand dollars for a bottle of cold water in the desert. "Hey, if the can get a grand for a bottle of water, why not?" I lost a lot of respect for them, as did many others. Posted by: LeftCoast Dawg at January 13, 2021 12:40 AM (sy5kK) That's how the free market works, if the price is to high don't buy.

If they can pull that off and it's a hit as well as halfway decent (i.e. it doesn't catch fire every time you hit the brakes a little too quickly), there's no ceiling for their stock IMHO. Posted by: qdpsteve at January 13, 2021 12:46 AM (L2ZTs) Tesla's Market Cap is 800 Billion right now. They are putting out about half a million cars a year. Let's say, over the next ten years, they sell 40 million cars, which seems a bit unlikely. You are buying the stock at $20,000 per car sold. Is Tesla making a $20,000 profit on each car so you break even on your ten year investment? Now Tesla has other businesses/revenue sources. They have the solar panel company, they have service for their cars, they have a floor wax that's also a delicious dessert topping, etc. But that stock is wildly over valued. The price is fueled by speculators and at that price, you aren't investing, you're playing musical chairs for money.

My Tacoma passed the visual frame test, but when they were doing recall work on a broken leaf spring, the frame fittings broke apart from corrosion and they replaced the frame. A $13,000 job that cost nothing because of a judge's ruling. It was a court class action suit not a recall.

AOP. On most of the Super Duty diesels, yeah, they lift the cab off to get to the engine.
But then, they use many clones of Caterpillar service tools, to execute an entire "in frame" rebuild of that same engine, which never leaves the chassis. Bonus? Ford specifically engineered that cab assembly for a removal and lift-off some significant shop hours faster, than any other truck on the market. AR-15 type modularity.

Posted by: db at January 13, 2021 12:54 AM (E0PSG) Well, it's basically impossible to make a completely rigid car or truck frame. They will all bend a little under heavy loads, and twist in torsion. Jack up one corner of a pickup, and watch the front of the box go out of parallel with the back window. Unibody cars are pretty rigid, but not absolutely so. And once the car body is bolted onto the frame, the entire assembly is more rigid than the sum of its parts. Some designers used frame flexing to add compliance for going over bumps. Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at January 13, 2021 01:03 AM (mzC78) 760
I think that was the big safety problem with 1950s (and earlier, and later) cars: everything was way too rigid.
In a bad collision, the car components wouldn't move so the passengers did, violently, and died from the exposure. Posted by: qdpsteve at January 13, 2021 01:05 AM (L2ZTs) 761

Miklos, at that price point, it's truly, really hard to predict a "good car" buy, in today's market.
But your pick has as good of odds as any, and better than most. Those VW's tend to have detail nits and pics, but the driveline remains solid, and will get you there. By time even a Toyota or Honda falls below the $10 retail level on a lot, the values and reliabilities of cars becomes pretty much a crapshoot. TRUST your sense and inspect more closely than you thought you knew how to do. Drill deep into online forums on those cars, too.

755 AOP. On most of the Super Duty diesels, yeah, they lift the cab off to get to the engine.
But then, they use many clones of Caterpillar service tools, to execute an entire "in frame" rebuild of that same engine, which never leaves the chassis. Bonus? Ford specifically engineered that cab assembly for a removal and lift-off some significant shop hours faster, than any other truck on the market. AR-15 type modularity.

I am going to try growing dwarf okra because of the gardening thread here. Okra stewed with tomatoes, onions and bacon was unexpectedly good when I tasted it in AL and GA.

Freeze dried or Instant Coffee sucks, but - it does contain caffeine.
So I keep at least a jar or two on hand for emergencies, because running out of caffeine is Not An Option. I have a few pounds of unroasted beans as strategic reserve. They do make de-caffeinated freeze dried. What is the point of decaffeinated coffee is one of those imponderables. Decaffeinated Instant is ... well really strange.

Not going to say your grandmother couldn't be trusted. I think, not sure, Sanka was a specific brand of (only) decaffeinated instant coffee. Don't misunderstand, all instant coffee sucks. I've heard VIA is OK. When I hiked a lot, I liked M'daglia D'oro as "not so sucky". It helps to add a pinch of salt to the water used when making instant coffee.

If you don't have enough food in your pantry to make it till maybe April or May, you're doing it wrong. I have maybe 50 pounds of flour. Bread flour (as opposed to AP) is a little harder to find. Bread flour is way better than AP, for some reason. It smells better baking even. More protein is part of it, not sure why though. Red wheat or winter wheat?

How hard is it to change a thermostat? We have one of the old round mercury ones. Turning it all the way down and back up to 66 doesn't do the trick anymore. Posted by: My life is insanity at January 13, 2021 04:32 AM (ehh1r) 923

Mlii, try blowing the thermostat out with compressed air. Probably won't work but won't hurt, either.

New thermostats aren't that hard to wire. Just make sure that if you have heating and cooling you get a thermostat that controls both.

America survived and thrived because of the ability to enforce the "just leave me alone" doctrine via westward expansion. It was even a safety valve after the poisonous affair of the war between the states. A few things have captured our imaginations since the west was settled in the early 1900's - winning two world wars, fighting communism, going to the moon - but ease of life dulls the imagination, we have no where to go and a case of terminal ennui.

ran is proposing legislation seeking to destroy Israel in 20 years, according to The Washington Institute for Near East Policy (WINEP).
The bill introduced to the Iranian parliament lists the goal of eliminating Israel by 2041 and the four main goals of the legislation include, per the report: Exact "decisive act of revenge" on the U.S. for the killing of Quds Force Commander Qasem Soleimani and evicting the U.S. from the Middle East. Continue Soleimani's mission of destroying Israel. Counter alleged economic sanctions, which is deemed "terrorism." Install a defiant foreign policy. The bill, which the think tank predicts will be passed in weeks, brands Israel an "aggressor Zionist regime" as a threat to Iran, vowing to ramp up military operations against Israel and the U.S. But by all means Sundown, make common cause with Iran Posted by: Nevergiveup at January 13, 2021 06:50 AM (gIi/S) Posted by: China Joe at January 13, 2021 06:50 AM (XVjTW) 1029

Maybe, though we could have whatever you call the internet version of a telethon for ace-Aceathon-but people wouldn't actually call in. Ace could put up "The Best of Ace" from the side bar and have comments on that, and people could write in "I'm going to donate____ to Ace and whichever "Best of Ace Thread" makes the greatest level of donation they could get free ampersands for a year. That could be interspersed with "cute animal video threads" and if people really need to talk about the spectacle on inauguration day there could be one open thread on that.

Did Lincoln's running mate blow everybody ? Posted by: JT at January 13, 2021 07:28 AM (arJlL) Posted by: four seasons at January 13, 2021 07:29 AM (PisyI) 1099

Was David Hogg terrified of the mob at the Capitol?
He was at Parkland just like AOC was in danger. It's all lies. Posted by: MJ at January 13, 2021 07:30 AM (gAMkn) 1102
>>"Impeachment-It's the right thing to do ." is a fund raising pitch for Democrats and whichever Republicans are on board with this aside from Liz Cheney.
For Republicans, they are bribing them. There's a $50 million fund set up by the NeverTrump that will be used to fund the races of anyone who votes to impeach. That would be bad enough under normal circumstances, but paired with all of the businesses who have announced they will no longer donate and/or allow their services (Salesforce, etc.) by Trump-supporting Republicans and it is extortion.

I like a blog with people who've seen classic movies. That is one of my favorite and great casting.

They are making it against the law to question them in ways they have gone nuts openly and I mean sitting democrat politicians not their nutroots. There has not been a Republican elected to the Presidency since 1985 that was not greeted with impeachment cries and motions and being called "illegitimate." There has not been a Republican President since Ike that has not had "the resistance" in the civil service. The media and democrat party (BIRM) demands you ignore the factual really happened Antifa violent riots that we all saw and democrat DAs ignored, but the presence of the capacity to resist is considered to be a coup accompli by these people when they look right. Buckle up, they are convinced they can now do whatever they want. We are in year zero in a way we were not in 2009. Posted by: sven at January 13, 2021 07:34 AM (Lzpvj) 1108

Definitely the opposite of the generations that were casually and calmly drinking tea outside during an air raid (outside because their homes were smoking rubble).
Posted by: Observer at January 13, 2021 07:22 AM (C+evo) What is it about those of you who insist we all don't worry and just be happy day after day after day ? Its not always a virtue to stop and smell the roses no matter what. To me it looks delusional. And sipping tea during an air raid is dumb. Find some cover. This is EXACTLY what I'm talking about. The insistence on always staying completely cool is not an effective survival strategy. Its a world view more suited for after school specials. The kind of shit you tell kids because they're not ready yet for ugly reality. Posted by: Uncle Joe at January 13, 2021 07:35 AM (rJD6t) 1110
