David Olive, President of Bluefield College is my newest hero. Respect the National Anthem, or there will be consequences. And by Jehovah, there was.
The players had knelt several times before games in January and February, at both home and away contests. After being warned about the practice, the players decided to stay in the locker room during the playing of the national anthem before an away game. But before the game on February 9, the players decided to kneel for the anthem. College President David Olive told the coach, “there would be consequences for the actions of the players for violating the College policy.” Those consequences involved suspending the entire team and forfeiting a game. In a statement, Olive said his decision to suspend the entire team was based “on my own awareness of how kneeling is perceived by some in our country, and I did not think a number of our alumni, friends, and donors of the College would view the act of kneeling during the anthem in a positive way.”
They have been warned. Will they listen? Or is there a big fucking mess waiting to happen?
Top US Nuclear Lab At Risk Of Major Wildfire, Warns Audit An audit by the US Department of Energy, Office of Inspector General (DOE-OIG) found that the nation's top nuclear laboratory is not taking the necessary precautions to safeguard the facility from wildfires. The audit, titled "The Department of Energy's Wildland Fire Prevention Efforts at the Los Alamos National Laboratory," raised concerns about fire management plans have not properly been followed and may pose a significant risk to the facility if a wildfire were to materialize in the area.

If you see someone wearing a mask who seems particularly delighted, it might be because they paid for the pleasure of wearing a mask that smells like someone else's genitals or feet. "Imagine browsing the aisles at a store and enjoying my scent," Cat's listing on Snifffr, the worn panty-selling site, says. "I’ll make your mask-wearing more enjoyable!" For fetish item sellers, the pandemic is an opportunity for a new kind of item: pussy masks. Cat, who sells panties and socks as well as masks on Snifffr, said she's been selling the masks for almost a year. "I think people like them because they’re able to enjoy a fetish outside of their home. I think it’s like a little secret only they know and it makes it risky and fun," she said. "It’s personally thrilling to me knowing that a mask I’ve had in my panties or shoes is now being worn on someone’s face and they’re enjoying it."

Once upon a time I was a smoker. Unlike vaping I never contracted chlamydia.
A woman just went viral on TikTok after describing how she got chlamydia in her lungs—not a typo—from a bad vape cartridge. The video—which is now private, but was reported on first by BuzzFeed—shows TikTok user @germanshepardfanaccount playing the "put a finger down" game while describing her health ordeal. "So, put a finger down if in October you got super, super sick with pneumonia and you tried to tell everybody in your family that you felt like it was something more than that," she said in the viral video, per BuzzFeed. She reportedly "tried to tell the doctors and the hospitals that it was something more than that," pointing out that she had a fever for 13 days. "Nobody believed you, they just kept testing you for COVID, testing you for antibodies, testing you for hepatitis, literally anything—everything was negative," she said. "Finally, it comes back that you have chlamydia in your lungs from vaping and smoking a bad cart." ("Cart" in case you're not familiar with vaping lingo, is "cartridge.")

The joys of social media. Seems a certain wife isn't too happy with her husband.
February 14 is usually a day to show your significant other how much you appreciate them, but TikTok user Gloria instead decided to remind her partner that she's not blind to his activity on social media. In a video captioned 'What did you get your man for Valentine’s Day?', Gloria creates a styrofoam box and inserts wooden sticks, each bearing a photo of a different woman's picture he has liked on Instagram. She says: "Since everyone is sharing what they got their significant other for Valentine's Day, I thought I'd share mine.

The joys of living in rural "Fly over country". Gig workers and carjackings.
A DoorDash driver named Jeffrey Fang was returning to his minivan in San Francisco after completing a delivery last week when he noticed a stranger in his car. After a struggle, he told a local news outlet, another person, an accomplice, got behind the wheel and drove away. Fang’s children, 4 and 1, were still buckled inside. Four hours later, after a frantic search by neighbors and law enforcement, the minivan was found in another San Francisco neighborhood, with the children safe and unhurt inside.
Leave it to some Hoosier to think a RC Snow plow is cool.
If you grew up in the Midwest or any other snow-prone area, you probably remember pushing a shovel on the driveway or sidewalk. Wouldn’t it have been more fun (and less back-breaking) to have a remote-controlled snowplow? A Twitter user posted a video of an RC Unimog taking care of business quickly and efficiently, and there are likely quite a few of you who would like to have one for this weekend’s polar vortex. While shoveling snow is a great workout, when you’re getting pummeled with the white stuff it’s a bit more strenuous than you may want on a day-to-day basis. Sure, you could pick up a robot snowplow with a boring personality for about $6,000, but apparently, companies like Hammacher Schlemmer are selling $100 RC snow plows with working lights and rubber tracks. If you want to go all the way, Germany-based ScaleArt is selling a 16-inch-long RC Unimog for about $2700. Add a plow attachment and it’s ready to go.
Not only do they taste good. They can play video games to.
Pigs can play video games, scientists have found, after putting four fun-loving swine to the test. Four pigs - Hamlet, Omelette, Ebony and Ivory - were trained to use an arcade-style joystick to steer an on-screen cursor into walls. Researchers said the fact that the pigs understood the connection between the stick and the game "is no small feat". And the pigs even continued playing when the food reward dispenser broke - apparently for the social contact. Usually, the pigs would be given a food pellet for "winning" the game level. But during testing, it broke - and they kept clearing the game levels when encouraged by some of the researchers' kind words. "This sort of study is important because, as with any sentient beings, how we interact with pigs and what we do to them impacts and matters to them," lead author Dr Candace Croney said.

A Florida Man arrested yesterday for indecent exposure told police that he was “protesting for civil rights by showing his penis to traffic,” according to a criminal complaint. Cops charge that Riley James Cushman, 23, was spotted alongside a roadway in Palm Harbor, a Tampa suburb, with “his pants down to his knees holding his penis while facing traffic in a vulgar manner.” Upon spotting a sheriff’s deputy around 3:30 PM, Cushman pulled up his pants and began walking away. When subsequently confronted by the cop, Cushman reportedly explained that he was “protesting for civil rights by showing his penis to traffic, but was now finished and wanted to go home.” Cushman’s display resulted in his arrest for exposure of sexual organs, a misdemeanor. He was booked into the county jail, where he is being held in lieu of $150 bond. Cushman has pleaded not guilty to the indecency charge.

Arctic lockdown, day... I've lost track... now we're seriously snowbound, practically a whole inch of the stuff - on top of ice ice ice.
The end of the current ice age is predicted for a week from now. I don't know. I've seen that glacier moving here out of Kansas...

I'm telling y'all here and now, they've thrown the switch on the "preparing the battlespace" to be winding down the Covid Panic, and they're "rediscovering" the Flu, after a 99% DECREASE in reported Flu cases all through 2020. What they're going to DO with said battlespace, remains to be seen. We have Smart Morons here that know tons more about what might "come after" the 'vid than I possibly could, and I'll beg those insights. But I know gaslighting and battlespace prep when I see it, and I done seen it t'nite. Watch for more of it to come, and don't doubt me that it is.

There was a time I trusted Rickards as he was the man that negotiated with the government over the LTCM bailout by the government in the 2000s. He's seen behind the curtain. He runs scenario analysis for the government for currency wars between countries.
After seeing how the CCP has infiltrated our country, I'm not sure his experience is still relevant. And he's a bit of a gold bug.

I'm telling y'all here and now, they've thrown the switch on the "preparing the battlespace" to be winding down the Covid Panic, and they're "rediscovering" the Flu, after a 99% DECREASE in reported Flu cases all through 2020. What they're going to DO with said battlespace, remains to be seen. We have Smart Morons here that know tons more about what might "come after" the 'vid than I possibly could, and I'll beg those insights. But I know gaslighting and battlespace prep when I see it, and I done seen it t'nite. Watch for more of it to come, and don't doubt me that it is.

It's a good thought, but not a good fit.
- "vape cartridges" are not a normal vape thing. They're weed-related. They don't come from China.
- Almost all vape devices are made in China. No choice about that. When one arrives, I give it a good soak in alcohol. OK, not the electronic part, just the atomizer.

The main engines on the Space Shuttle Orbiter could do 109%. True story. There was a software upgrade that bumped it to 104% (for certain abort modes), then... 106? I think? Then finally 109% for a single-engine mode that would keep it outside of a dangerous velocity/altitude area of the envelope in case of a failure of 2 (of three) engines. Rather than rewrite all the procedures and redo all the training, and risk overlooking something and ending up with a potential conflict between two procedures, they kept the original rated thrust at 100%.
Couldn't do 110%, though. Only 109%.

He would rant at the bad stuff.
He was an expert in the East Liverpool Ohio Incinerator case. Got the building delayed by 6 years. But in the delay, material stored for the incinerator caught fire, and another amount was flooded into the Ohio River.
So he personally was responsible for 10,000 x the pollution of Gaia rather than from a cleaner incinerator.

Fun Fact: 2020 was the wettest year in the Greenville-Spartanburg weather area since 1901. The ground is saturated, and even the slightest shower will make water stand. It's a mess. So far, 2021 has been about normal, but it seems like it's very rainy because of that.

Records at GSP (or what became it) go back only to about 1880-ish, and are somewhat spotty for the first 10 years or so well into the 1890s.
So really, locally, they've only been recording weather data for 125 years.

If you need a ripe avocado for a recipe right now, you don't go to the market cause they'll be hard as a rock. You go to your local Mexican restaurant and ask them for a whole sliced one. It'll be a few bucks, but it will be perfectly ripe.

Sure. There's a lot of that. In Boston, you will find "scrod" on menus. Turns out that means "whatever unidentifiable white-fleshed fish did not sell at the docks under a known name." Doesn't mean it tastes bad, just that it's not famous. A lot of the famous stuff got fished out. Read the book called "Cod" for the most egregious example.
Then there's "Chilean Sea Bass," which is the new name for "Patagonian Tooth Fish."
If you want cheap, fresh fish, look for a large Chinese market in your area.

Still, at both lakes, the Tilipia were a HUGE problem. They were brought in as they're algae eaters, and it was hoped they'd keep that warm and algae friendly water more clear of the noxious, O2 quelching scum. Well, they did, but they also multiplied so incredibly that they were outbreeding all other fish in the lake. Tilapia are "mouth breeders" where the male will swim around with the fertilized eggs in his mouth, until they hatch out and free him up to eat again. Hence, their eggs aren't subject to predation from other fish or critters. (cont..)

The powerplant operators needed to get every possible ton of Talapia out of the lakes, as they were literally clogging the cooling water inlets on a near-daily basis. Back then, (80s), they got little to no respect as an eating fish, because they weren't "noble" gamefish. But, good eating they were, and are.

So does that mean the armed robber gets to go free? If the gun manufacturers are responsible for the crimes then by extension the criminals aren't.

But hell yeah, Cajun Blackend Tilipia works, as does cooking it up and dicing it for fish tacos. It does respond quite well to various seasonings. Want to use it in soup? Pan sear it hot, in butter, get it fully cooked and "firm up" the flesh. THEN cut or shred it to put it into the soup. But never put raw Tilapia into the stock that you're making into soup. You'll just get Mush of Tilapia Slop.

Her answer was she thought that all the medicinal answers we seek for human illness will come from theretofore undiscovered plants.
My guess was we would find out that the world that animals inhabit is far more rich and involving than we ever gave them credit for -- and part two was that it would lead to the widespread consumption of synthetic or "cloned" meat.

Years ago you used to be able to find them growing in farm pastures outside of town but nowadays I think manufacturers put something in the crop fertilizer to prevent their growth.

However, if you're looking at being self-sufficient, this is indeed a source of protein raised with aquaponics.
Along with hydroponics, aquaponics is an excellent way of raising food if you are interested in being self-sufficient while not being in an area where you can fish or grow outdoor gardens.
Just my 2 cents....

Yes. "Nile Tilapia" is the original. They took them out of Africa and selectively bred them to produce a "partially-albino" variety. So the ones you eat are a GMO, with whiter flesh.
So, they're about the least-Woke fish you'll eat, I guess.

Nothing like the bleak midwinter in Anchorage, where it's usually gray and icy. We got a dusting of nice new snow so the dirty slush is covered up, and with the sun it was brilliant.
The midwest should not be surprised about crappy weather in February--no mountains to slow that crap down or ocean to warm it up.

Yes, they eat algae, so they're more of a bait than a game fish.

Also, once in Fairbanks, it dipped just below -50 one night, I was staying in officers temp housing, and the fire alarm went off about 2 a.m. I figured it would be better to stay indoors and stay warm by the fire than go outside and freeze to death. Apparently the alarm went off whenever it got below about -50, no fire. So, the smart choice stayed warm.
So glad I can now send the younger ones up north for that kind of nasty work.

Porch Stray decides he "wants out", at the door, meow and scratch. So, I open the door a crack and..he takes enough steps for his front paws and head to be outside, stops dead in his tracks, does a 180 and is back inside. He is not a stupid cat.

I'd find another ice age a lot more convincing than us warming up by 3 degrees. The idea of us allegedly coming out of the Ice Ages circa 10,000 BC is supposedly settled science. But there seems to have been a revision, and thus perhaps there's only been a lull in the movement of polar vorticeses and the slow movement of the glacial ice.

Coldest actual temps I've experienced, would be in the low teens, Cloudcroft NM on a ski trip. Coldest I've SUFFERED though, was 17, and was riding an '82 Gold Wing from San Antonio to Temple, TX. I was supposed to go apply sub-grade waterproofing (trowel grade) to a pre-cast utility box where the Temple VA hospital was expanding. Yeah, right. A six-ton, singular "dirt clod" (clay) had broken off of the pit-wall where they had lowered the utility box, and fallen against it. Anyone IN that side of the trench, would've been smushed like a bug. (trench shoring had not really then made it onto OSHA's radar). Job site unworkable, but at least it was only in the mid 20s when I rode home the next day, after THAWING in a couple hot tubs and long showers in the hotel, overnight. Brrr.

Hey, two beds can be pushed together sharing top sheet and blankets, so that still works (just a little dip in the middle).
Wife hates the fact that I can go to sleep very quickly, sometimes in less than 20 or 30 seconds. Downside is I'm a light sleeper most of the time, so she'll ask me a question after that 20-30 second period and wake me up. You'd think that after more then 20 years married, she'd know by now (then again, she might enjoy it.)

Wife tossing and turning used to wake me up. We have two beds shoved together (a Queen set), share the top sheet and covers. Now she wakes me up when she comes in late, or steals my covers, or snores. But hey, that's life; I get even by snoring back when I'm asleep.

My apologies to YOU. I read a bit too literally, and didn't mean to SLAM you as my comment read. I know a lady who lost her fiancée, her true love, under the ice in the Hudson. He was training to qualify for under ice SCUBA rescue, and lost the safety line. That was that, in the four knot current.
AtC is right, that "outside" is always trying to kill us. But, inside is but a temporary reprieve.

Last Thursday we received 1/10th of an inch of snow, and had a 100+ car pileup. Six were killed in that wreck. Eight lives were lost in 8 hours. This is what happens when you combine Texans and snow/ice.
I just got a text from my boss, who lives four minutes from work. ALL of us are expected to be at work tomorrow, no exceptions. If we are late, it will be okay, but no one is going to miss work.
If I total my car tomorrow, there's no way I'm going to get what it's actually worth from the insurance company. If I die trying to get there, well, it was worth it, if it meant making even one more "green energy" product to market.

Yeah, he doesn't have to hit any overpasses to get to work. Drives up the street and he's right there. My drive is primarily overpasses, surrounded by Texans who see snow/ice about once every six years. Know how Texans react to ice? They stand on the brake pedal until their car slams into something. These people know nothing of counter-steering, much less pumping the brakes. Some on my crew drive for more than an hour to get to work. We are going to get people KILLED.

the totaled car issue *might* be grounds, depending on TX law. argument was that you were forced by him to drive, under threat of unemployment, when you would have otherwise remained at home.
as for termination, Texas is an "at will" state, so, absent a particular codified exception, they don't need a reason to fire you. you'd have to find a local expert on employment law to get a definitive answer.

Ice storms? No messing around. Power lines and trees come down. That's pure danger. Not to mention driving on ice is pretty much impossible when the roads aren't properly prepared.

Lived in Texas for right at 40 years now, and this snowstorm is the coldest, heaviest, and deepest I have ever seen. And it's still falling. Looks like it's up to about 8" now.
Posted by: Tom Servo at February 15, 2021 04:00 AM (bxPTJ)
No, the state of Texas does NOT have the equipment to handle this. Texas sees snow once about every five to six years.
They have what they have, and they've activated the National Guard (God help 'em), so, here we go!
Expecting power outages tonight and tomorrow. Nothing makes freezing more fun than doing it in the dark.

no, not really. At least the utility companies appear to be mobilized to fix breakdowns quickly, but it looks like most of the state is going to be shut down for the entire week. Just as this storm starts to fade, another new storm just as bad is scheduled to roll through on Wednesday.

The Panhandle does. The rest of the state? Not so much. You'd be hard pressed to find a snow plow on, say, I-10. On I-27, they are out and about.
Where was I when it snowed 17 inches in my hometown of San Antonio? Germany.

That happened to me with a part time job on the day of the ground hog day blizzard. We knew it was coming. He was all about "get there" the newspaper doesn't stop. Ha!
Up to midnight he was still saying it. Papers went to press and were ready to circulate to dist. centers. EXCEPT THE TRUCKS COULDNT GET OUT OF THE DOCKS! (and my boss couldn't open his garage door let alone get his car out of it!) Got a call at 12:30. Stay home.

Saw some mentions of chickens, above.
Chickens are ok a-l-l the way down to -30, -40 real temp, not wind chill. Provision needs to be made for liquid water. The little dinos can be cold (down keeps 'em warm), they can be wet (and mad); they can't be cold AND wet. If they have a good roost bar so the feet are covered when they sleep, they'll be fine. Combson the cocks may suffer damage, but they do not need heat inthe coop. Heating a coop makes for more humid air. When they leave the coop - POW - frost-bitten comb and wattle.
B/c of the solar minimum, we have contingency plans for theflock if it gets below -30: They will go into the hoophouse along with a good, second shelter and lotsof straw. No needthis year, so far.

Yeah, I tried the acv for about a week; supposed to be helpful on gout too. No bueno. Gout is about too much acidity in your blood, causing urea to crystallize out (it forms needles when this happens) in your joints. Very painful, and on this topic I am a fuckin' authority.
Drink lots of fluids, take nsaids for inflammation, and the bouts usually pass within a couple of days.
That's my technique, anyways.

there's a podcast series called "Thirteen Minutes to The Moon" about the Apollo program in general & the Moon landing in specific; it's really good

Big news in Da Swamp: Ice! What the the hysterical TV weather and news people are calling a "major winter storm" is due to dump some freezing rain and drizzle on us into tomorrow. I had some errands to run this morning -- I'm off thanks to Mardi Gras, minimal as it is today -- but I've pared them down to grocery and some gasoline.
The worst should be to the north and west of the city. As long as we don't get downed power lines here, we should be fine.
I've driven in snow and a certain amount of ice when I lived in Denver, so I'm 1000% more prepared than most of the idiots around here . . . which is why I want to stay off the roads.

Sadly, we don't either. It's just that we have plow trucks throwing salt on the roads. If they don't get out and do their thing right away it's slip slidin' away all over the place.

4WD or AWD just lets you get started. It doesn't allow you to stop faster.
There is absolutely no provision for dealing with ice on the roads here. Understandable, I guess, as it happens so rarely and is gone quickly when it does -- we're going to hit 63 on Wed.

I chatted with the lady next door; she had a Buick Envision and was extremely pleased with it. "Best car I've ever had."

It was a real slam, wasn't it. We were toddling along pretty good right up to the end of January. Winter was easy.

The installer suggested to leave the thing in pilot light mode, especially during the winter. If the power goes out I can still turn the stove on and heat almost the whole downstairs

No weather to speak of
Later in the week it might get messy. Another good excuse to get out of the DC area early

Ugh. A quarter inch..
Our ice is just from old snow melting before the new snows came. It's going to be one heck of a melt this year.

A few years back I bought the traction strap things to put on my shoes. I don't use them often but they have come in handy a few times

That's a good feeling, having an alternative to a furnace.
We've not been using our woodstove during this bitter cold, but just propane (prebought last summer at a buck a gallon).
The woodstove will be back in action tomorrow, and the furnace used only at night.

That's what creeps me out most. But it's pretty amazing the weight those lines can hold.

I bought some in Denver. The rubber straps cracked and broke after a year. Are they tougher now -- do the companies use something that'll last?
