The Quotes of The Day


Quote I

The vast majority of Canadians, of course, are not in the military. They get restless, they want action. We’re not landing in Normandy, after all, we just want some vaccine. Kelly McParland

Quote II


“We understand there’s a lot of angst to get out and enjoy our beautiful weather and our beautiful beach, but we’re just asking for cooperation from our college students that do decide to come to Fort Lauderdale,”Fort Lauderdale Police Assistant Interim Cheif Frank Sousa.


Quote III

“It is unclear where the case might land at this point. It is rare to have every judge in a judicial circuit recuse themselves.” Attorney, Timothy Roldan

Quote IV

“I think though that Andrew Cuomo… I mean know this is the most unpopular thing in America to say right now. He’s a 63-year-old single guy living in Albany, the most boring town in America. He’s all by himself and single women come by… I’m not saying anything is appropriate. I’m saying that there’s human nature and we have to recognize that he’s not a street thug or a rapist,” Geraldo Rivera

I imagine the Never-Trumpers and Cucksters, BIRM, are going to declare this a victory. Yawn. Unqualified Biden nominee withdraws her name from post.

President Joe Biden announced Tuesday that he has accepted Neera Tanden’s request to have her nomination to lead the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) withdrawn.

The White House released a statement from Biden, saying that Tanden will serve some sort of rule in his administration.

When you can't even get Pierre Deflecto's vote you must be a horrible choice. No word if Romney's head injuries knocked any sense into him. Doubtful.

Looniest cities in America? Madison, WI, San Francisco, CA, NYC, NY come to mind. It looks like Austin, TX is #1 with a bullet, for the time being.


AUSTIN, Texas — A black liberation autonomous zone is forming in Austin, which is the Texas State Capitol. The developers of the city’s “sovereign citizen” collective reject state authority to “protect Black liberation and prosperity,” according to their published information.

AND…

“Along the way to our liberated future, we will solidify a revolutionary vanguard dedicated to building alternatives and destabilizing oppressive institutions.”

The website also mentions “resistance.”

“Along the way to our liberated future, we will establish Black intentional living communities at which the Black masses can learn, heal, celebrate, and prepare to resist.”

The development of Orisha Land is alarming. The impact it will have on the area as well as the city/police response is yet to be determined. You can read more at their website.

They gave us the Kung Flu. They sell masks to prevent the Kung Flu. And now they dominate the syringe market. China laughs all the way to the bank.

China Boasts It Is Getting Rich Selling Syringes to America


Breitbart: China’s state-run Global Times bragged Sunday that Chinese companies are making a fortune selling syringes and needles to the United States during the coronavirus pandemic, a tidal wave of imports that makes a mockery of “the U.S. government’s attempt to get rid of the Chinese supply chain.”

The Global Times quoted U.S. officials admitting in congressional testimony that 80 percent of the needles and syringes used in the United States, and about 90 percent of the supplies purchased worldwide, originate from China. Chinese officials said China’s factories produce hundreds of thousands of syringes a day.

Well Duh!!!!

US agencies have wasted billions in funds on buildings and vehicles in Afghanistan, a US government watchdog said in a report released late on Monday.

The US Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) said it reviewed capital assets spent since 2008 and found that at least 2.4 billion dollars in assets were unused or abandoned, had not been used for their intended purposes, had deteriorated, or were destroyed.


It is time to leave. Yesterday.

You might have something better than loose change in the couch cushions.

Now, Dr. Seuss is racist, and has become the latest victim of woke-mob cancel culture.

Six Seuss books - including "And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street" and "If I Ran the Zoo" will no longer be published due to 'racist and insensitive imagery,' according to the organization which preserves and protects the author's legacy.

"These books portray people in ways that are hurtful and wrong," Dr. Seuss Enterprises told The Associated Pres in a Tuesday statement coinciding with the late author's birthday (real name Theodor Seuss Geisel). "Ceasing sales of these books is only part of our commitment and our broader plan to ensure Dr. Seuss Enterprises' catalog represents and supports all communities and families," the statement continued.

The other books affected are "McElligot’s Pool," "On Beyond Zebra!," "Scrambled Eggs Super!," and "The Cat’s Quizzer."

What's more, President Biden removed all mentions of Seuss from Read Across America Day - held on Dr. Seuss' March 2 birthday.

The backlash against Seuss started in earnest after former First Lady Melania Trump gifted Dr. Seuss books to a Cambridge, Mass. elementary school.

Hmmm. I didn't realize that Evanston, Illinois was in the deep south in the land of cotton. Black residents will qualify up to $25,000 reparations for use in housing. Just how black do you need to be to qualify I wonder.

According to a new report from ABC News, Evanston, Illinois will be the first city to begin funding reparations for Black residents.

Up to $25,000 will be available per eligible resident for housing will be distributed this year.

Per ABC “The impetus for the city’s reparations resolution, first passed in 2019 and spearheaded by 5th Ward Alderman Robin Rue Simmons, is rooted partially in Rue Simmons’ experience growing up Black in Evanston.”

Rue recalled “Early in my childhood I was invited to have a play date. My white friends never had a play date at my home.”

She said when visiting a white friend’s neighborhood “the streets were wider. The trees were taller. The homes were bigger and brighter.”

“As a young child, I recognized that difference,” she added.


While we are discussing reparations, St. Joseph University, Philadelphia, PA has been placed on leave because of a Twitter comment about reparations.

"Suppose your great-great-grandfather murdered someone. The victim’s great-great-grandson knocks on your door, shows you the newspaper clipping from 1905, and demands compensation from you. Your response?" Manco's tweet criticizing reparations stated. "Now get this racist reparation bulls**t out of your head for good."

Do you remember when newspaper editorial pages squawked when civil liberties were threatened? The NJ Star-Ledger obviously doesn't.

Fair enough. We understand the privacy concerns, that surveillance robots could be used for ever-expanding purposes like recording video over a political rally. “We shouldn’t be using this moment to rehearse for some sort of dystopia,” as Karen Thompson of the American Civil Liberties Union of New Jersey argues. She has a point. We must guard against any such mission creep.

But in the case of these knucklehead gatherings, we are willing to make an exception.

Yeah, we'll tax that and get back to you on how we are going to help you. Redistribution? Only misery. Vermont wants to add sales tax to groceries.

A recent bureaucratic report recommends expanding Vermont's sales tax to include food, groceries, electricity, and clothing to..."help the poor." The Vermont Tax Structure Commission (VTSC) argues that "broadening the tax base" will be easier for government, and more equitable than current exemptions because sales tax revenues will be redistributed "equitably" to the poor.

Sales taxes are inherently regressive. VTSC acknowledges this quite openly (p.22):

I'm sure Jake Tapper and the cadre at CNN will be covering this tonight wall to wall. Voter fraud in Texas. Yeah, I crack myself up at times.

A South Texas county justice of the peace was among four people arrested last month on 150 counts of voter fraud related to the 2018 primary election in Medina County, according to reports.

The Texas attorney general’s Election Fraud Unit on Feb. 11 arrested Medina County Justice of the Peace Tomas Ramirez, after earlier detaining Leonor Rivas Garza, Eva Ann Martinez, and Mary Balderrama on allegations of election fraud, News4SA reported.

The case involves claims of vote harvesting at assisted living centers in Medina County in the 2018 election, according to a statement from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s office

The problem with many items today? They are made to be disposable. The EU says not so fast.

Companies that sell refrigerators, washers, hairdryers, or TVs in the European Union will need to ensure those appliances can be repaired for up to 10 years, to help reduce the vast mountain of electrical waste that piles up each year on the continent.

The "right to repair," as it is sometimes called, comes into force across the 27-nation bloc on Monday. It is part of a broader effort to cut the environmental footprint of manufactured goods by making them more durable and energy-efficient.

“This is a really big step in the right direction,” said Daniel Affelt of the environmental group BUND-Berlin, which runs several "repair cafes" where people can bring in their broken appliances and get help fixing them up again.

Modern appliances are often glued or riveted together, he said. “If you need special tools or have to break open the device, then you can’t repair it.”

I did not know that reselling "sneakers" was big business. It is and a high ranking officer at Nike resigned because of it. Not because they use slave labor mind you.

Ann Hebert, a Nike employee of 25 years who most recently served as a VP overseeing its North America business, left the company on Monday, according to an internal email viewed by Complex.

“Ann Hebert, VP/GM, North America geography has decided to step down from Nike, effectively immediately,” the email reads. “We thank Ann for her more than 25 years with Nike and wish her well.”

Nike also put out a press release this afternoon publicly announcing the end of her tenure and confirmed the move in a statement to Complex.

“Ann Hebert made the decision to resign from Nike,” the brand said.

Hebert’s leaving Nike comes days after the publication of a Bloomberg piece focused on her son, a 19-year-old sneaker reseller named Joe. The piece mentions a credit card Joe used for his reselling business, West Coast Streetwear, that was registered in Ann’s name. The reseller insisted to the story’s author that his personal connection to a Nike exec not be written about in the piece and cut off communication after it was brought up.

Cheetos and crime. Genius Award Winner - 1st Runner Up

Officers located a bag of Cheetos and bottle of water on the floor near the open window, which they believed was dropped by the burglary suspect.

Police said the victim identified Carr as the suspect after seeing her and Carr was further linked to the crime when officers noticed Cheeto residue on her teeth. Tulsa Police reiterated in the post that Carr was arrested, but has not yet been convicted and the case is ongoing.

She's a Democrat, this may be a resume enhancer. Until then she is just another Genius Award Winner.

A damaging new police report says state Rep. Sharon Har “smelled of alcohol” during her drunken driving arrest on Monday night, yelled “Black Lives Matter” at officers and told them she was going to be the next governor.

The 52-year-old lawmaker was arrested about 10:20 p.m. Monday after police saw her driving in the wrong direction in the center lane of Beretania Street, which is a one-way street.

In his report, the officer who made the initial stop said that Har “slurred” her speech and appeared intoxicated. “I could smell the odor of alcoholic beverage emitting from her breath and the interior of the vehicle,” said Honolulu Police Sgt. Adam Lipka. Another officer said Har raised her voice with them.

“(She) began to yell that she was embarrassed, that her wrists hurt, questioned us as to why there needed to be so many officers at the scene, and stated ‘Black Lives Matter.’ She then began to yell at officers Ting and Tory to hurry up because she needed to call people,” said Officer Clinton Ono.

A third officer, Christopher Morgado, said Har “began asking if I knew who she is.”

“Sharon then related that she was going to be the next governor but ‘this’ will mess up her plans.”

21 Also, Geraldo Rivera is one of the rapiest people I have ever seen, so I am not surprised he is defending Cuomo and the fact that he was using his position in power to try to bang girls young enough to be his granddaughters.

Nice, heartwarming (= sickening, infuriating) story today about hundreds of "migrants" (didn't specify, border jumpers or fake asylum petitioners) released in Yuma. Local authorities saying um, this may be a problem for us.

And it's just week 5 of the catastrophe.

39 Some of the Horde were wondering how to go about setting up blogs and sites and such that are independent of cancel-culture-friendly hosting companies. A developer I know personally has put together a series of instructions on how to host a Ghost blog site on a Raspberry Pi device. (Link in name). I also helped test the instructions so I can confirm if you've never set up a Pi it can be done! The device is completely under your control, you just connect it to your router, so your blog is safe from drive-by cancellation.

58 Greetings, everyone. Lou Reed was a genius. The most authentic rock n roll icon for many decades. Bruce Springsteen is but a twig to clean Lou's teeth.

My reparations policy: 1. anyone accepting reparations money is immediately and permanently stripped of American citizenship and all rights thereof.

Geraldo is a pimp. A very self-centered pimp. Years ago, on "Celebrity Apprentice" (Donald Trump's show), and it got down to Leeza Gibbons and Geraldo as to who would win to become "Celebrity Apprentice". They bring back some of the players who were earlier eliminated in the competition. Lorenzo Lamas (son of Fernando) was a producer, and really had come to hate Geraldo, and was about to do anything to beat him.
Geraldo acted like a real ass towards some of his "teamates" in the course of the competition.

82 I have read more than a few of the "racist" Dr. Seuss books to our kids in the last few years. I think the "racist" complaints simply point out how the word has lost all meaning. Occasionally, the characters will be someplace "exotic" (by 1950 US popular standards when most normal people didn't travel much unless the Army sent them somewhere) and he will speak of cliche local charateristics. That's only OK to mention now if you are either pointing out things traditional white men do, or you make it heavily handed clear that anything else is wildly superior to anything associated with traditional Western culture. I didn't pick up any inherent hatred..Dr. Seuss books generally base their humor on lighthearted absurdity or have a very old school actual equality sort of old time leftism.

What kills me about blue states like NY is that the only reason the Leftists will never vote Republican is that they're afraid that abortions will be criminalized in the state. Mind you, abortion will never, ever, ever be criminalized in the state, even if they elected a Republican Emperor For Life, with the power to do anything they desired.

Because of this, they will vote for every turd with a 'D' next to their name, and that turd will then go ahead and do whatever they want, because even the women they abuse will never vote for one of those Rethuglicans over Gov. Party T!ts-types.

It will have to get a lot worse in those Blue States before the rubes wise up and look at other options.

It was in the winter and too snowy to try Flagstaff for just a day trip (we made it to Jerome; what a strange place) but he urged me to come back in the fall, he'd pick me up in Phoenix and I could rent a car in Scottsdale for much less than the airport, stay with him a few days and head north.

I still haven't figured out the metrics in play. If it were the I-15 corridor it would make some sense! It seems to depend on the number of cases present. St. George just opened up restaurants to 100% occupancy this past weekend. But masks and "social distancing" are still required at far too many places. But go to a rodeo or outdoor event and you will not see masks.

167 Been to the Grand Canyon just once, this past Thanksgiving weekend. To the North Rim where there was ice and snow on the ground and it was cold.

Now I need to go to the South Rim because the views are similar but quite different!

Posted by: CharlieBrown'sDildo at March 02, 2021 10:44 PM (Q9lwr)

Family courts are the height of government mal- and misfeasance. It is no surprise to find slipshod work and backscratching among court-appointed professionals and the court officers. It's an incestuous pit of lazy self-dealers, and it's not limited to any one jurisdiction.

231 My grandparents never laid eyes on anyone from Africa. I can prove through birth records and genetic testing I have no Anglo-saxon slave-holding blood. My wife is an immigrant from Poland, so she is clean. You know who is descendant of slave owners and overseers? Every black in America that has roots back to the slavery days. I support raparations. They can pay themselves.

I disagree that the students are all "woke" and worthless now tho. It's still a good school. This move sucks donkey balls tho and we should let them know this. Catholic education is SO EMBARRASSING.

The St Joes students I know are awesome, hardworking, very normal kids. Very focused.

It's still a good school (as far as general student body). It's just been sucked into the idiocy LIKE EVERY SCHOOL OUT THERE

Any crafty/sciency folks on here wanna help me with out?

I have an old cloche (a ceramic baking dome) that I got from my in-laws. I use it for baking sourdough. The thing is ancient, and before I could use it the first time, the handle broke off. It's still usable, but it'd be much easier to use if I could lift the lid with just one hand.

Anyway, I need an adhesive that is strong enough to lift the dome, and can withstand sustained heat in excess of 500 degrees. I'm thinking maybe sodium silicate (aka water glass), but I can't find definitive info on it's performance under the above conditions.

Anyone have experience with Na2SiO3? Any other ideas?

Long but funny story. When I was a platoon leader, my RTO rotated out and I got a new guy. He went home on emergency leave and I had the old RTO fill in while he was gone. So we had to cross a large marshy area and there was a "sniper" (using that term loosely; he probably had a Mosin-Nagant or SKS using iron sights) too far away for effective aimed fire. So the first squad leads, all spread out. Then comes the platoon headquarters gaggle with all the radios and forward observers and machine guns and what not. Then the second and third squads follow, all spread out. So naturally, the "sniper" starts plinking at the platoon headquarters. With every shot, my RTO had a wise crack. Pow, splash. "Thank you, sir, I really enjoyed that one." Pow, splash. "That was a good one, sir." Pow, splash. "One of these is going to hit, sir." You have to love the American soldier's sense of gallows humor.

But then the media started digging up Tanden quotes where she personally insulted the GOPe senators. Well, we can't stand for that! You can insult those awful, God-worshipping Christians all you want, but you can't insult US, your superiors.

Tanden should have pushed it to a vote. She should have made Romney and Murcokeski and the others say why they were voting against her. They should have had to reveal their true, arrogant selves. But no. Tanden snuck away. I'd say a pox on both their houses, but I'm pretty sure they're all living in the same house.

I did pretty good I think, getting a Linux install up and running from scratch in less than a day(well, almost, home partition wasn't formatted, so a lot of the config was preserved, but all software had to be installed).

The reason was crypto paranoia. I had an older install to bare metal which I hadn't updated in over a year or so, running Linux mostly in VMs. But it turns out that for maximum crypto key generation peace of mind, you want to generate keys and that stuff on bare metal, not under a virtual machine.

I think that concern is mostly paranoia (unless you're running VMs hosted on server farms and that sort of thing). Mostly.

392 You don't understand how reparations will work.
The reparations will be paid from the US Treasury, which most of us pay in to.
You don't get a say.
You get no say at all, especially with the present political class.
The same as all the other stuff we pay for, for which we object, and the list is pretty long at this point.
It will all be in there along with gender studies for the Pakistanis.
Just another budget item, for which we have no budget.

Usually what happens if you've got a discrete router/modem is it keeps renewing the DHCP lease and the server has no issue with this, unless it's turned off for a while or--as you say--an outage hits the server and forces it to reissue IPs.

Sodium silicate isn't a great adhesive. There are a number of high temp adhesives on Amazon or ebay that can handle 550 F, silicone or epoxy based...

I'd lean towards the silicone ones myself. If you want to be sure though, go with a ceramic based adhesive. Use this search term -- high temp ceramic adhesives

With Charter here, if your modem goes offline for more than about hour, there's a chance it will give you a different IP address, the longer the greater that chance.

A situation I'm not sure of is if the router goes offline but the modem stays on. Usually when one goes down the other does with a power outage.

Something I remember that will change the IP address if you change your router. If the MAC address changes and maybe some other info, the system will not give you the same address. When I switched the firmware in my Linksys over to OpenWRT, it caused that to change, and thus the hash here.

I don't know if any of you fool around with IPv6, but it's a totally different ballgame. More complex, but much more flexible. An IPv6 address is 128 fucking bits long. Basically the high order 64-bits are the public part, and then every private network has 64 lower order bits to do with as it pleases.

With 64-bits, you do the math, 2^64th possible addresses. The problem of IP address exhaustion is solved.

Most ISPs provide that automatically if your modem and routers do.

Note with IPv6 there is no NAT (masquerading), where you get one public IP address, and your private network is behind that with your router running the NAT translation and making all the traffic look like it's coming and going through one sole IP address.

With IPv6, your router acts like a real router, and your computers have their own unique public IP addresses.

Look at FreeDNS, and there are others. Again, if you want your own domain name, you'll have to pay for it. But a simple hostname attached to some shared domain name can be had for free.

And learn thee Linux. It has all the tools -- free -- to do just about anything you want to do. Roll your own servers of all kind, all the crypto tools and all that. You don't have to depend on anybody for anything, save for the pipes you spew your data down, of course.

HAARP is up to something. Now, whether it's mind control by the global oligarchy or something, I'm not going there, but they are up to something secret and defense related.

I've read informed speculation that it's some sort of missle defense and perhaps some sort of "over the horizon" radar/snooping thing.

It's a big antenna capable of stimulating the ionosphere to do things. They can inject a relatively small signal, and cause the whole ionosphere to resonate. There is some heavy secret purpose for this.

Had an issue at my job - received some bad news about it... news that was 99% inevitable and only growing. It had been going on for the last three months.

I prayed hard - for the only thing I could see stopping it - a particular longshot - to happen. And last week... it fucking happened. Almost exactly the way I prayed.

I mean, I don't even know if we're supposed to tell God *how* we want our prayer to be answered, but in my fevered imagination, it's all I could see derailing the plan. And when I say longshot, I think it was a 1 in a 1,000 toss. But, happen it did. Incredible.

My cousins and I were working to sell the condo their mother owned. They had a buyer, it fell through, because the condo owners didn't have the cash reserves required by law so a buyer could qualify for a loan. I got together with my pastor, explained the situation, we prayed together and within a week, had an all cash offer on the condo.

They told America that if we voted for Obama, then racism would be over. OVER. Repeatedly.

America did it twice. And they used his election to slice open old long forgotten wounds with a rusty razor, then poured lye on it, then fucked the wound dry.

So I'm guessing reparations will be more a beginning than an end. I think for example every time a white person speaks, it will be said he's doing so because he's "angry about reparations".

499 >> I block IPv6 detection on all my devices...

I'm not any more worried about IPv6 than IP4. The much larger address space makes it very difficult for the port scanners to work. If you look your router's firewall logs and just look at all the crap coming in, which the firewall should be dropping silently, you'll see it's hackers just randomly walking the IP address space and hitting ports with various known exploits. You can look up the port info from the logs and find out what exploit they were trying.

That shit goes on constantly.

With 64-bits of prefix and another 64-bits behind that, that random walking of the space isn't very productive.

That's awesome!

I needed a summer job while stopping at home between college years, at the height of a recession, and my irrational mother was getting mad at me for not being able to get one. I had put in what must have been 100 applications with no bites.

So, ludicrously, she decided to yell at me right before I was going to sleep one night. Fun. I was so fucking angry I was seeing stars. And so after screaming into my pillow in frustration for about three minutes (father had recently passed) I quieted myself and prayed to God for a summer job. Very simple prayer. But extended, humble and pleading. Not even particularly religious at the time. This was at about 1:00 in the morning.

No word of a lie - I was awakened by a phone call at 8:15am from the Temp Agency that they had a warehouse job for me. Decent pay for the time, too. Worked there all summer.

Posted by: ... at March 03, 2021 12:27 AM (uEbPt)

504
One questionable thing they did in some of the original standards was the method for automatic IPv6 address generation. There are many ways to generate them, something like DHCP is there, and there are others, SLAAC (stateless) being a common one. A machine that comes on the network gets a 64-bit prefix from the router(and may get several of them), and then the machine generates it's own lower 64-bits and registers it (possibly) with the router and DNS (local subnet).

Of course that has to be unique so someone came up with the helpful idea of using the MAC address. That's 48-bits, and they came up with some algorithm to expand that to 64. How convenient. You now would send out a unique ID all over the place.

Bob@NSA had nothing to do with planting that idea, I'm sure.

Anyway, that was quickly realized and they came up with privacy extensions. The machine generates a random "temporary" address, which has a limited life span.

With IPv6, your machine has far more than one address. This Linux install has 8 on the main network interface (this machine actually has three network "cards" built into the mobo -- I use the others for VMs).

I don't know if it's possible to keep the NSA at bay, actually.

For the run of the mill protection, all you need is a good router, consumer level will do, and run some custom firmware like OpenWRT, which allows you to configure things.

544 ..For the run of the mill protection, all you need is a good router, consumer level will do, and run some custom firmware like OpenWRT, which allows you to configure things. Posted by: publius, Rascally Rapscallion of a Poperin Pear at March 03, 2021 12:54 AM (Mzdiz)


Yeah, I'm still gonna pay someone to do even that, so it'd might as well be you. Bonus, you get to add a node to your network, and I get more than the local call-out PC network nobodies are likely to deliver. For me, it is WORTH IT, warranty or not. If I want "warranty", I'll pay the local network nobody to come watch you install it, so they can learn to service it, if needed.

547 Jim,

Tell you what. Do you still have my email address? Send me your network "specs" -- that is what computers/machines you have, what your ISP and internet service is.

I could very well buy a router, set it up with the OpenWRT firmware and just send it to you, configured. And I could tinker with it remotely via a OpenVPN tunnel I would (try to) get configured so it would work right when you got it.

Anway, if you still have my email address, shoot me a line, and we'll figure something out.

Soon, we will all be labelled white supremacists and domestic terrorists. Anything they don't like, any criticism of the globalist oligarchy, any truth, will be labelled hate speech and incitement to violence. It will be censored. Big Tech will not allow you to say anything unapproved on any of the media they control.

So yes, underground communication will be needed. You won't recognize America in 10 years.

And finally, if you want to see the level Bob@NSA likely operates at, look up the "Intel Management Engine":

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
Intel_Management_Engine

Intel has been putting "computers inside your computers" since 2008. In the freaking chipset now, the standard Intel chipset. It's a little 32-bit x86 CPU of its own inside the chipset. It runs its own little OS, a MINIX variant (they think, as this is all Intel proprietary secrets).

Anyway, the ME has its own little channel to the Ethernet chips, and it's own MAC address. The ME can be communicating when the main system is off (it has to have power, and standby will do it).

You can be sure that Bob@NSA owns all of that. His moles at Intel made sure of it.

Just keep in mind that this is the level the government can operate at if it wants to hack you.

558 I've seen the Grand Canyon once, from the air.
I'm glad I did, but it was scary; I hate to fly. We were going out to CA for my older sister's wedding, so flying DC to San Fran, and the pilot came on and did one of those "If you look up ahead, we are approaching the Grand Canyon", so I leaned and peered and saw this amazing crack in the surface of the earth (we were 30K ft up? high), and as we got closer, he says "for you on the right side of the plane" and tilts over on one side, then "and for you on the left" and 180s on over. It was maybe 40 years ago, and I can still see that huge rift on the surface of the earth, and still feel my heart jump into my throat at how he gave us that amazing experience.

564 417 Caesar, a Mosin - even with iron sights - might be something that could make one go "ouch!", in competent hands. With "snaiperskiye" ammo.

On the combat humor thing. Some sailor on one of the escort carriers at Leyte Gulf, as Admiral Kurita's task force suddenly and inexplicably (to the Americans) pulled up and broke off their engagement (engagement = most powerful surface force on earth hammering a bunch of little flimsy escort carriers and destroyer escorts).

"Damn, they're getting away!"
--------
Earlier in the battle, "It's alright boys, we're luring them into 40mm range!" Said by a guy on USS Kalinin Bay, an escort carrier being chased by a Japanese heavy cruiser (Chikuma I think) that was getting the range on them. (Fortunately a quartet of bombers nailed the cruiser a good one and made her drop out of the fight.)

594 Grand Canyon is impressive, but it is "inaccessible" in some ways. And if you want to hike some parts, it will kick yer ass. For my money there is a lot of equally spectacular scenery along the Colorado, on the plateau and 4 corners region that is more "immersive" for lack of a better term. A good high clearance vehicle, good maps, and camping equipment and supplies is more fun. Unfortunately the "secret" is out, these areas get a lot of pressure now.

Heh, boy was that a wake-up call, watching all that Chinese "investment" and "donation" money getting put to work to stop the guy trying to chop down the money tree. On the bright side though, Trump's anti-China Pacific coalition is still going strong, even without our active participation, and the India side of the trade deficit is going along nicely. the Kashmir excursion really honked India off too, so that proved that Beijing can make some real missteps in their haste.

We had a pretty famous case like that in Maskachusetts many years ago, an up and coming Dem politician ( I think his name was Kevin Fitzgerald) appointed someone as a guardian to a bag lady who turned out to be fairly wealthy and they looted her estate.

Just this kind of statement belies a lack of knowledge or understanding about what it means to live in what is perceived to be a "nice neighborhood".

Trees cost money. They take time to grow. A long time to grow. They aren't free. They need maintenance. They need care. They are an investment, they need "health care". They need to be insured, more or less. They get diseases. They get hit by cars. They cost money to be removed. They are a huge pain the ass and it's remarkably stupid for anybody who doesn't understand this to say stuff like this.

It started out that way. That was the mindset of the original creators and pioneers. But then it got commercial, and Big Money got involved. And governments when it got to be a big enough entity to deal with it.

Now it is a tool of the globalist oligarchy. I'm amazed at how they took it all over. They did by giving people "free stuff". The free stuff of course was all under their control and directed people to start using networks under their centralized control. You now have YUGE entities like FaceBook and Twitter, etc, which control the majority of communications. Then they got in on the advertising end of it, both ends, really, and now Google has a monopoly on that.

While I was a computer nut every since my Clempson Cow College days, and still am, I had an instinctive dislike of what is now called social media, and on the hardware side, instinctively disliked and wanted nothing to do with smart phones.

I can't say I saw all this coming, but there was something instinctive there that made me stay away. I don't really like cell phones in general either. I'll never have a smart phone. Those thing are embedded spying devices from the get go, a totalitarian's wet dream cum true.

617 Oh, once upon a time in Arkansas,
An old man sat in his little cabin door
And fiddled at a tune that he liked to hear,
A jolly old tune that he played by ear.
It was raining hard, but the fiddler didn't care,
He sawed away at the popular air,
Tho' his rooftree leaked like a waterfall,
That didn't seem to bother the man at all.

I've harvested less since, but at age 3 and 4, was digging Idaho Potatoes (Idaho Falls, ID), with the fambly, even IF I dug only two and collapsed into tears and wanted to be bundled back into the comparably warm car, thereafter.

I can also recite the address of that house, draw a floor plan and note the names of our neighbors from then. I was then and remain now, a Weird Kid.

619 A traveler was riding by that day,
And stopped to hear him a-practicing away;
The cabin was a-float and his feet were wet,
But still the old man didn't seem to fret.
So the stranger said "Now the way it seems to me,"
You'd better mend your roof," said he.
But the old man said as he played away,
"I couldn't mend it now, it's a rainy day."

But this, I think, is the thing to do;
Get busy on a day that is fair and bright,
Then patch the old roof till it's good and tight."
But the old man kept on a-playing at his reel,
And tapped the ground with his leathery heel.
"Get along," said he, "for you give me a pain;
My cabin never leaks when it doesn't rain."

making sort of a pork cutlet piccata for dinner tonight. Am I
supposed to rinse off capers before I toss them in the pan with some
lemon juice and maybe a little chicken broth?



I've absolutely no idea, but I'm willing to help you. What time do we eat?

Posted by: Common Tater at March 03, 2021 02:22 AM (DMcz+)

my guess is no, but i doubt it matters too much. I realize some canned ingredients do better after they are rinsed, as some of the preserving ingredients can be a bit funky. I don't know about capers. But I don't use them very often. I do know that some people washing fruits and vegatables with soap on water. Yeah that is overkill and probably making things worse. But people go their own way.

I did some checking and some say you should rinse them. My honest opinion is to go with your gut here. If you rinse them, it wont make a hell of a difference. I always wondered if you should rinse shrimp or not.

634 So I made a comment the other day. I was taking a shot at a Never Trumper who is well known for all the wrong reasons. I asked why he received a certain award. I did not say he did not deserve it, but I did wonder what the circumstances were. I also mentioned that certain awards were more prevalent in certain times and with certain branches of the military.

As soon as I typed that I knew I f'ed up. No one is more supportive of the military than I. I know that can't be easily judged, but I know who I am. I want to be clear hear. I respect all who served whether they be Dems, Repubs, or politically agnostic. I also do not question any awards people have received. I respect all who served and that will never change. Those who served in a war zone, unlike I, deserve extra acclaim.

I recant that, and all I said there. If it where twitter, I would have deleted it. If it were Facebook, the same. My entire life has been spent supporting the military and our troops. I F'ed up by taking a shot at a particular Leftist. I got caught up and regret it. I apologize and disown it.

thanks so much AK. he was a real warrior. I take pride in that he lasted 12 years. That is as long as president Reagan lasted with that horrible disease. He was in great physical shape, which is a blessing. If i could have even another hour with him, it would mean everything. I lost my mom too. The irony is here maladies were physical. one thing my mom lamented it while my dad cared for her through so many physical problems, she could not reciprocate when he got ill.

In the end it is what it is. They had a love that could never be broken. Why people face these issues is beyond me. My dad was never sick before Alzhheimers. My mom was always sick but she always lived the right way. My only wish is that i could spend more time with them. I did spend a lot of time with them, but it is never enough.

In Reston, my next door neighbor was raising her granddaughter. Automatic Daddy issues. I told the granddaughter to finish high school, get married, then have kids as the path to success.

She did none of that, is now a drug adduct with two kids that she ignores, and sells her body for drugs. So much drama, and the wider family has been devastated. She had mission killed 5 people, with the police calls, rehab, family court. Very sad to see.

do telemarkters still exist? I know there are cheats and liars that constantly spam phone accounts. My guess is no one answers them. The very few messages I get are from liars, and flat losers. They are not telemarketers to be honest. Telemarketers were a legit enterprise. It was a shit job, but mostly it was for real. My guess is you can't be a telemarketer these days because no one answers their pone unless they know who is calling. The irony is today people live on their phones.

it seems most of them are cheats. I can't say how little i think of the scammers. i have been out of the business world a wile so maybe they stil have telemarketers in that world. But those who spam the average cell phone, are likely crooks. I saw myself someone pull a scam on a family friend. She was too proud to hear my questions, and it cost her.

i pretty much never take a call from a stranger. A few years ago that is not the way it worked. But today the entire business is dead unless you, yourself are brain dead.

He is also described as hymn writer and humanitarian. The stirring music is from the 1800s. This hymn shows a forthrightness and sure belief in the crucified Christ, and so is appropriate for the Lentin season, or anytime at all really:

I had a nice 12 foot tall evergreen growing along our driveway. I struggled to get outdoor lights on it one year, then said 'fvck it' when spring arrived. I figured as the tree grew the lights would climb with it. I only took them off when my son said it looked low class or something. I never put them back up again. Too much effort and risk.

I never knew how he acquired his snotty attitude, but it stuck with him until it became insufferable. He ended up marrying a leftist with an even worse attitude. Birds of a feather.

788 reparations were a joke from the late 90s. no one took them seriously. That was not a real thing because no one believed it. I know people who thought that about Confederate monuments. Now you have the Alamo in the sites, and trust me, that is not going away. I told some lazies a few years ago that they would re-imagine the Alamo as a great loss. I said that when it was not on anyone's radar, but I knew it it to be true.

The left made the inroads we did not. They took over the schools and they figured most parents would stand aside, like punks. Now they are taking out Lincoln, Dr. Seuss, Robert Shaw, whatever., it is funny I guess right up until it happens. The left is not hiding anything, and for sure they have no shame.

i believe you. But still it was a joke back then. i will not think I am going far to say if you mentioned it, it was political suicide. But today, as even Bill Maher admits, everything is an Onion article. i can't stand Maher. But even he realizes the country has gone to shit. The reality is most conservatives will not do crap, or they left the lefty zones so those in that A
O are on their. own.

798 The Left gets away with it because the conservatives let them get away with it. Did any parents gather to demonstrate against removing Dr Seuss day? Against schools staying closed? Against no athletics for kids? Likewise all the issues. Nada from conservatives.

It's a lot easier to understand when you accept that Republicans were not only not at their zenith, but they were just as pissed that Trump won as the Democrats. Paul Ryan quit, the Republican controlled Senate investigated Trump's RUSSIARUSSIARUSSIA nonsense, and we got nothing - NOTHING - beyond tax cuts that will expire.
