Explosive diarrhea. Is there any other kind? Well, here’s one way to get out of work: production on NBC’s upcoming game show, Ultimate Slip ‘N Slide, has been put on pause indefinitely after an outbreak of “explosive diarrhea” occurred on set earlier this month. Now, that’s what we call a shitshow. Filming officially shut down on June 2nd, when producers were first made aware that a crew member had tested positive for giardia, a tiny parasite that causes a diarrheal disease called giardiasis. While test samples of a well, pond, slide pool, water truck, and restroom sinks all came back negative for giardia, additional results found on June 10th that giardia had been in the set’s surrounding area. Ozzy Man cracks me up........NSFW-Language CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - Multiple packages of cocaine washed ashore on a beach at Cape Canaveral last month, the US Space Force said. Angy Chambers, a wildlife manager for the 45th Civil Engineer Squadron, was patrolling the beach to perform a sea turtle nesting survey on May 19 when she noticed a small package wrapped tightly in plastic and tape. She thought it could be drugs and contacted the 45th Security Forces Squadron. Just thinking out loud, I wonder if Angy will be undergoing any random drug tests over the next 6 months or so.

Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper re-asserted his position on Tuesday that he would not build the team a new stadium without government assistance. It’s the latest example of a multi-billion dollar NFL owner expecting local citizens to foot the bill of pet projects under the guise of fandom. Tepper’s proposition isn’t unique. Rather, it’s become part of the fabric of the NFL’s new-normal which treats its cities as expendable — unless they’re willing to pay. The ever-present subtext in these discussions is that if local government won’t foot the bill, a team will find a city that will, even if nobody is saying it. “I’m not building a stadium alone,” Tepper told reporters on Tuesday. “The community is going to have to want it.” The Panthers owner added that he wasn’t going to force a new stadium on anyone, but once again, the devil is in the details. It’s bizarre of Tepper to say he won’t “force” a stadium on the people after years of publicly stating he wants a new stadium with a retractable roof to house the Panthers, his recently-purchased MLS team, and host larger events, potentially even a Super Bowl. Perhaps more than ever, now is a time to appreciate America's small towns. As we begin to see the other side of a pandemic that kept so many of us isolated, it is easier to understand the value in those things we've missed. Whether it's by enjoying an outdoor summer concert with neighbors or by catching up with friends at the local brewpub, a sense of community has been hard to find for many; Zoom and FaceTime made for adequate, virtual stand-ins, but they don't compare to the real thing. It's those in-person interactions with familiar faces that make small towns so alluring. That is, along with the independent shops, hidden gem parklands, historic sites and architecture, unique restaurant finds, and, of course, a slower pace of life and relative affordability that numerous city dwellers are finding more and more appealing. Fortunately, many of America's small towns are emerging from the effects of Covid-19 resilient and ready to welcome visitors. Some, like Dyersville, Iowa, are finally hosting long-anticipated sporting events that the pandemic placed on hold. Others, such as Council Grove, Kansas, are celebrating historic anniversaries. Whatever the case, the 15 places we've chosen as the best small towns to visit in 2021 are prime examples of perseverance and preservation, and reminders of all that we love about small towns in the first place Holidays have lost their names in this school district. NEW JERSEY - After an outcry at a raucous public meeting over a previous decision to rename Columbus Day as Indigenous Peoples Day, the board of education at a New Jersey school district decided to strip all holiday names off of the school calendar. So holidays like Thanksgiving will not be on the calendar and will simply be called "day off". Jewish holidays of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur were also stripped off the calendar by the move. On this day:12 Jun 1951 Somebody won't be allowed to the AoS Book Thread on Sunday. Genius Award Winner. A 21-year-old Florida Woman who was naked from the waist down inside a Circle K told a cop that “another deputy told her it was fine to do that,” according to an arrest report. Responding to a 1:30 AM “naked woman in public" call last Thursday, police found Kendall Mabry sans pants or underwear inside the convenience store in Umatilla, a city about 45 miles from Orlando. A Circle K clerk and a sheriff’s deputy both reported seeing Mabry emerge from the store’s bathroom “with no pants or underwear on.” When asked about her state of undress, Mabry reportedly “stated that another deputy told her it was fine to do that.” Mabry, police reported, smelled of alcohol and her speech was slurred. Additionally, “the smell of marijuana was coming out of her vehicle.” Mabry’s pants were found inside her car, according to the arrest report. Tonight's Feel Good Story of The Day.

Good old Wallace, ID, at the base of Lookout Pass on I-90. At one time it had the only traffic control device on I-90 because the interstate went through the town. It was a red light which not only controlled traffic but was a reminder that the town had an active red light district.

I didn't look at the list, but I was once in Burlington, Vermont for a business trip.
Very pretty city, very quaint, located on the shores of Lake Champlain, with a view of the mountains across the lake. Never would want to live there. Full of very Leftist assholes. Bernie Sanders was mayor there, once. At the time, his wife was a big deal at the local university, and was running trips to Cuba. This was ....2012 I think.

Posted by: qdpsteve at June 12, 2021 09:38 PM (L2ZTs) joke answer, if it taste like creme fraiche, it is losing the sour. real answer, if it has little green things on it and basically tastes like shit, then toss. it. I had a recent thing with avocados. There is a state between turning brown and being ripe that avocados get into. It is hard to describe, but it sucks big time. The thing gets more dense, still green mostly, but something is off. You can still use them, but they are well passed their prime. It is like porno, you know it when you see it.

Man, I had a long day today. Did a load of laundry, and dried it on the line outside. Did some weed whacking, and uncovered two big heaps of sod that I had made last year when I remade the ramp into my shop. So I spent an hour or more welding a two-piece trailer tongue onto the undercarriage of a twin-wheel wheelbarrow so I can tow it behind the golf cart like a little trailer. Works great! And I can pull out a pin and remove the tongue extension so that manual use of the wheelbarrow is not impaired at all. Got my sod moved, and more weed-whacking done.

Yesterday (I think) there was a discussion about mechanical 35mm film cameras. Someone mentioned the problem of replacing the now discontinued mercury batteries many of these older cameras used. There is a direct replacement in the correct 1.35 voltage. It's the Weincell. Not especially cheap at 4 to 5 bucks each but they will work. Adorama and B and H Camera in NYC have them and Amazon probably does. Just FYI. I would prefer to use a separate light meter or re-learn how to estimate exposure. I used to be pretty good at that.
Also, there was a mention of how good Minolta lenses were. I never had a Minolta 35mm but do have a Minolta Autocord TLR. Haven't used it in a while but recall the lenses were superb. Excellent clarity and detail wide open even for medium format. I didn't feel camera envy compared to the Rollei users. Hmmm. Now I want to go through my old film cameras, see what's there and if they still operate. I know I have some 35mm film in the freezer. Wonder if there is still some 120 film with it.

Put that frozen film in the fridge for 72 hours, then bring it out to ambient room temperature. Helps reduce thermal shock and emulsion damage.

I know Taco Bell is far from authentic, but it kept me alive when I was a destitute grocery store stocker in Scottsdale. i could buy a half dozen tacos for less than five bucks.
Every now and then, I still really love to get a six pack of tacos from Taco Bell. And no, I never have the intestinal difficulties. You know, Scottish. Posted by: Pug Mahon at June 12, 2021 10:23 PM (x8Wzq) Posted by: Hospitable ladies of the Philippines at June 12, 2021 10:23 PM (QzkSJ) 276

Taco Bell lost me when they got rid of the Bell Burger and the green sauce. I went back occasionally for the enchirito but they got rid of that too.

Inflation nation: John Williams at Shadowstats has update his numbers with the latest CPI. As I've mentioned here before, this guy takes the raw data and calculates inflation as the govt used to, pre-1980 and pre-90 (or so). By the pre-90 method, headline inflation would be 8% and by the pre-80 method, it would be 13%. So, folks, since that's the method they used in the '70s era, you can pretty say we're in 70s levels of inflation.

>> Yikes, publius. I've often wondered about these drugs.
Lots of potential side effects related to immune suppression. Me, I've had singles outbreaks probably close to ten times. Had a little pop out last week. My doc keeps me stocked up on acylcovir. That knocked it out in several days. This is not normal shingles by the way. It generally occurs at the peak of immune suppression. It's a hard benefit to risk calculation. These drug ads tout the former. Don't tell you too much about the latter. Gloss it over. Posted by: publius, Rascally Rapscallion of a Poperin Pear at June 12, 2021 10:55 PM (Mzdiz) 381

My dad enlisted in the Navy when he turned 17 in May 1944. A year later, he was a Seabee sitting on Guam, waiting for the orders to invade Japan.
He and a couple of other sailors found a nice little on the island and noticed there was a buoy in the middle with a sign on it that they couldn't quite make out. They swam out to the buoy and found that it read something like, DANGER. No swimming. Uncleared Japanese naval mines. They gently floated on their backs to the shore.

Didn't Ann Wilson sing some Zeppelin songs at their Kennedy Honors thingy?
Heart were very influenced by LZ. They kind of did the sometimes folk\sometimes rock thing that LZ would do. I am just intrigued by the idea of Ann's spectacular voice and Page\Jones production, music and writing. And personally, Plant is the weakest link of LZ to me..I can't see where Anne couldn't do anything he could do and more, at least in the 73-79 era I envision it happening in.

His induction speech into the Basketball HOF was a grab bag of tasteless jabs at people he inexplicably carried long term grudges against; and invited them to the event to insult them. He learned a lot of humility during his "baseball hiatus" but fell back from time to time. Plus Don Corleone Stern placed a lot of emphasis on him being the face of the league.

448 Michael the texan, lurk less.
Your dad did better than some young sailors with time on their hands at Guam or Saipan (and elsewhere). They went souvenir hunting, against orders and guidance, and it didn't end well. Japanese stragglers. Posted by: rhomboid at June 12, 2021 11:18 PM (OTzUX) You're very kind. Dad had to choose between two paths from his barracks to his station every morning: one path had snakes, lizards, and critters; the other had jungle Japanese surrender hold-outs taking occasional wild pot shots. He chose the path with Japanese fanatics over the one with snakes. Dad brought back some souvenirs from Guam, like money and trinkets, but he had no interest in Japanese souvenirs, if you catch my drift. His main contact with the Japanese was POWs.

LeBron was just told he was the best, and based on his behavior in the ensuing years seems to show a huge ego from it, ie "The Decision." And then there is the incredible petulance he has shown when the team is losing. Posted by: buzzion at June 12, 2021 11:46 PM (vMCab) Posted by: Zettai at June 12, 2021 11:46 PM (808AM) 504

Posted by: Miklos, son of a gun gonna have big fun at June 12, 2021 11:43 PM (QzkSJ) personally I think that Joel Mokyr has messed up his philosophy of types of knowledge by inventing fairly opaque jargon to describe it, AND he likes saying Schumpteter far too much. Also he should read Jean Piaget on development.

I used to joke about never being able to stomach an MRE in the real world. But that was the 80s and the MRE's were truly godawful. We had dehydrated pork patty and if that was not the worst thing ever, I don't know what was. This was before they added heat tabs. But to be honest, back then, no one was going to take that time. I guess now they do, and that is a good thing.
THey made them in Mcallen Texas. I know the place well, but the MRE's are not the highlight of the place. Not sure where they hail from these days. I do know they are much better than what we got.

You go through your teens wondering if there'll be even a scrap of food in the house till your next dishwasher paycheck hits, and C-Rats were a blessing and a luxury.

the dehydrated meat patties were awesome, if you had time to cook: people would throw them away, so i always had plenty: smash'em down, take a mess kit pan, add water, ramen noodles (also smashed) cook up with dehydrated onion flakes, garlic and onion powder, plus the seasoning packet, dehydrated catsup/beef base packet, add the meat particles when the noodles were done, remove from heat, add a cheese packet or two, and nom.
hell, i'm hungry now, just thinking about it. i had a back pack stove from REI, took a wire brush on a drill to the mess pan and canteen cup, then painted the outside with high temp flat black spray paint, for heat absorption, and was styling. the stove fuel cans lived in a 30 cal ammo can.

Spot of hope for MN. My estranged brother just copped to a felony plea of 40 months, less time served for a failed home invasion he tried to pull off, there. The pity is though, he should've got about fifteen years. Bonus: he plead out to a misdemeanor Electronic Harassment charge I had filed against him. Texting threats from jail from a jail's own lawyer comm text system, is self incrimination of the first order. He turned 65 in jail, last September. And he just never learns.

riffing on not unassing the track: years back, a Marine got left behind on guard duty, no one noticed, and he died within sight of a road here in SoCal, IIRC. (Twenty Nine Stumps) he stopped and ate an MRE meal, which aided in dehydrating him, and he didn't ditch any of his gear, so he was at a disadvantage, which killed him.
on board leaking track: "lets get all this gear off" (web gear, body armor, weapons, pro mask, you name it) "oh, we can't do that, we'll be on the hook for it if it's lost" track takes on water, everyone is overloaded and unable to get out/to the surface.

Lebron doesn't have the mental toughness to get gatorade for Jordan. One of my favorite Jordan stories is the greatest game ever played.
During prep for the dream Team Olympics, the team was in Monte Carlo practicing before going to Barcelona. Tim Daly had set up East vs West scrimmages. It was pretty even until the last day, when Magic Johnson's West team jumped out to a ten point lead. Johnson told MJ, "You better turn into Air Jordan or you're going to get blown out." Things started getting chippy with more trash talk and multiple Jordan 3 pointers and a 360 dunk over/around David Robinson. Jordan's team stormed back and won the game.

"no safety boats were in the water"
"45 minutes before the other AAV with embarked personnel pulled alongside." "In the closing endorsement, COMMARFORPAC found contributing factors included lack of training" These guys were part of the 15th MEU, they are expected to be T1 rating (highest) for SORTs (Status of Readiness and Training) which means their BN S-3 and CO declared them at T1. Which means their careers are over too. I was a gunner with 3D LAR, LAV-25s at 29 Palms, AAVs were kind of our rival sister tribe. One year a Section Lead (CPL or SGT) thought it would be a good idea to give our scouts some cross-training in driving the LAV-25 in case we lost our driver in combat. I would have agreed at the time. But a sand berm collapsed under the vehicle's left side, causing it to roll. The gunner was pop up in the turret and it crushed him in half, killing him. Everyone in the chained of command was fired - Platoon Sgt, Platoon Commander, Company Commander. And none were even aware of what their Section Lead was doing. Didn't matter, it happened on their watch. Posted by: Hoyt's Paid Turkish Provocateur at June 13, 2021 01:22 AM (83lwH) 679

"I have a vision of someone checking that the bayonet will slide into its notch easily and quickly, and almost silently."
Not me. Don't tell anyone, but I almost took my eye out with my bayonet. We were cleaning weaps after an op and I left my bayonet attached to the M16A2 (like a dumbass). Release collar for the barrel shrouds wouldn't release, so I put both hands on it and leaned in hard. ...derp... my hands were sweaty so my grip slipped down the rifle, and my upper torso and head followed downward towards the bayonet, which skimmed just an inch outside my left eye. Almost got my ear too. Startled, I looked up just in time to see my Platoon Sgt facepalming (poor guy). That earned my one of those "pushups until I get tired of watching you" punishments.

It's always something else's fault with these people. He sees himself as the victim. He should be thankful you have a daughter to live for, it's probably the only thing keeping him alive right now. If I wasn't married I would probably be in prison by now. For something stupid like strangling That Guy who parked in my spot twice. But I love my wife and don't want her to be lonely.

>> How do you know this?
Searching on hog brains and why Armour quit selling them. The problem happened in 2008 at a plant in Austin, Minn. It caused quite a stir with fears that maybe eating hog brains could be a problem as well. The conclusion was no problem eating them, just don't breathe hog brain material. Papers on this made the big medical journals.

Hoyt,
And husbands. My hubby deserved the MoH for what he had to go through raising two teen girls while wifey was off in the sandbox. I got off easy. I missed most of my girls' teen years, courtesy of Iraq. Posted by: SMH at June 13, 2021 02:30 AM (8WCBI) 751

You eat a lot of stuff that would be very bad and trigger all sorts of allergic and immune reactions if it got directly into your bloodstream. The papers on this subject I saw were behind a paywall so I couldn't read exactly, but apparently, in some people, breathing in the fine pig brain material caused an autoimmune reaction which caused some serious problems in some of these workers at the brain station.

"in some people, breathing in the fine pig brain material caused an autoimmune reaction"
Google: "the immune system sometimes malfunctions, interpreting the body's own tissues as foreign and producing antibodies (called autoantibodies) or immune cells that target and attack particular cells or tissues of the body. This response is called an autoimmune reaction." Ah okay I get it now. Posted by: Hoyt's Paid Turkish Provocateur at June 13, 2021 02:39 AM (83lwH) 761

I was able to get by the paywell by stopping the browser before it blanked it out: https://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/05 /health/05pork.html If you can manage it, you can read the whole story. It was big mystery, with them fearing it was some new disease, maybe something in pork. But it became clear it wasn't infectious, and was associated only with the "brain blowing" operation.

It turned out it was an autoimmune reaction. That is, the hog brain material being breathed in trigger a response from the immune system. But this agent was so close to the body's own tissue, that the antibodies and all that started attacking the body's own tissue. In this case it was causing spinal inflammation and neve damage. At the time of writing, it wasn't clear why it just suddenly popped up. Did procedures change, or what. These questions were unanswered as of the above article writing.

I'm getting to tired and lazy to look into this any more tonight, but it's got my curiosity up and I'm gonna see if I can find any papers on this brain blowing disease. It's been over 10 years, and I'm sure they've got it figured out by now. But Rose Brains, the sole canned brains product left on the market, does not use compressed air anymore to extract the brains. People have been eating hog brains for a long time with no problems, so there has been really no reason for concern.

Re God laughing. That reminds me. With Art Bell and others over the years, I've heard many near death experience stories. Some of them quite moving. Some claim they were in the presence of Jesus but only have vague memories. They say they remember "knowing so much, understanding it all, but can't remember". And they describe being in a state of such joy and happiness, with a feeling of Love that can't be experienced in our earthy state. They didn't want to leave, but got, "No my child, it's not time for you to come home, you must go back". And the funniest thing is they describe Jesus Christ as having one heck of a sense of humor. He's a very funny Man. He makes you laugh. With a joy you've never experienced. Posted by: publius, Rascally Rapscallion of a Poperin Pear at June 13, 2021 03:09 AM (Mzdiz) 786

>> 'm thinking Divine head shaking, with a smile.
That's something to ponder. I think Jesus is very sympathetic. I think this is all a big learning experience for us, this life on Earth thing. Recalling some more of these near death experience tales, there is a big "Life Review" that will occur. Something like Jesus going over your life with you, and want you did good and what you did wrong. You will see the full effects of your actions, big and small. That little nasty comment you made, how it affected those around you. Stuff like that. Posted by: publius, Rascally Rapscallion of a Poperin Pear at June 13, 2021 03:24 AM (Mzdiz) 791
And in that big Life Review, it's not going to be about how much money you made, how many awards you got, or stuff like that. How many degrees or credentials you amassed. How big a deal you were. It's going to be about other things. Like, oh, "suffer the little children", and "these the least of my brethen". You know, stuff concerning immortal souls and their fate.
