AT Flores, in the Azores Sir Richard Grenville lay,
And a pinnace, like a flutter'd bird, came flying from far away;
"Spanish ships of war at sea! we have sighted fifty-three!"
Then sware Lord Thomas Howard: "'Fore God I am no coward;
But I cannot meet them here, for my ships are out of gear,
And the half my men are sick. I must fly, but follow quick.
We are six ships of the line; can we fight with fifty-three?"

what about Golf? The nation writ large plays no golf at all. Sure they have courses, but those are for the tourists. Many Americans don't realize Spain is like the Florida of Europe. What the Spaniards have done in professional golf it truly amazing. Over the last 30 years, if you had a team competition and you went three on three, Spain would easily be as much as a favorite as any other nation.
btw. I posted on Saturday, before the third round, that Jon Rahm was my pick to win. There were five guys ahead of him, but I posted it, it is part of Horde lore. I won't go find it and repost it, was not that big a deal. Sure if you ran off to MGM Bets, then it would be a big deal.

Has anyone studied the English victory in detail? I grew up under the idea that the sea destroyed them. But just dipping my toe in to the research seems to indicate alot of english aggression (that drove them north?)
ie, the English didn't passively wait for God to destroy the Armada, they pushed the Spanish to Him.

When studying the Depression, Galbraith created a concept he called "The Bezzle." The Bezzle is the quantity and scope of undiscovered embezzlement. During the good times, when everyone's making money, a lot gets stolen and it doesn't really matter because everyone is still making progress. The theft - whether actual embezzlement and nest-feathering, or huge waste, or malinvestment, or whatever - goes unnoticed.
Once those good times peter out, it all gets discovered quickly. As he put it:
But even though money is plentiful, there are always many people who need more. Under these circumstances the rate of embezzlement grows, the rate of discovery falls off, and the bezzle increases rapidly. In depression all this is reversed.
I have been thinking recently that nepotism (really, cronyism) is the political equivalent of The Bezzle, It accumulates on the ascent and comes into the fore all at once as a crippling overhang once we cross the apogee/zenith.

Increasing capacity is a long and difficult process. You spend years fighting environmentalists who want no additional generation, NIMBYs who want it built anywhere but here, politicians who want it built over there where they need votes, contractors who want it built by their people, endless debates about every detail of construction, incompetent bureaucrats, and at the end the risk that you'll finish construction only to have the government policies change and suddenly you're stuck with an asset that no longer pays for itself.

That's the basis for denying such folks communion: it's not that they are Catholics who happen to hold views that differ from Church teaching; they are not in communion with the Church as a result of their support of abortion, so the Church denies them the eucharist.

My understanding is that most Spanish sailors that made it to land were killed.
I think those genes are most likely just part of the inheritance from the people who populated the islands since the Paleolithic. Perhaps the Neolithic farmers?

Our Alleged Betters have the sads because electricity is the great equalizer - it means even the poors can have a standard of living not far off of Jeff Bezos', at least in terms of day-to-day existence. They want neo-feudalism, when the lower classes knew their place, dammit.

Maybe so. But the Irish and the Scots hated England anyhow, so "The enemy of my enemy is my friend," etc., props the idea up. And the Spanish sailors would have had the additional attraction to the local women of being rather exotic and Other.
They probably weren't the only source of those genes. But they might have contributed.

Apparently there is some evidence to back that up. They found a couple of Egyptian sailing ships in England back in the 1930s. They dated to around 1400 BC.

That's the basis for denying such folks communion: it's not that they are Catholics who happen to hold views that differ from Church teaching; they are not in communion with the Church as a result of their support of abortion, so the Church denies them the eucharist.
EXACTLY. it honestly does not matter what any celebrant does, the sin is the act of taking Communion while in a state of sin - which they clearly clearly are. That is a grave sin, btw. It's a big freaking deal.

And when you falsely accuse a guy of being a witch and he goes out of his way to provide any info necessary to clear his name, and you just ignore that and continue to bear false witness?... not a valid reply.

Thanks, but I can't take full credit. Colorado Alex in Exile has been making an analogy where society/political life is now suffering from MBA syndrome of consuming its accumulated capital. That analogy got me to thinking quite a bit, which is when I remembered Galbraith's concept of "The Bezzle." I don't think it's a direct fit, but I think it is thematically similar enough to what's happening institutionally that it merits some further thought.

I found some good articles on the subject years ago. I am not saying they were definitive but they made some good points at least on the Spanish Armada idea. If you search Google, you pretty much come up with Ireland sites made by who knows. And they pretty much link to the same article. I am not saying I know it to be untrue, but long ago I looked into it and at least to my level, I decided it was mostly folklore.
One thing for sure, the historical community has had little desire to go into this publicly. And this was way before the modern times where everyone is offended for any reason. Also, that is an American term. That alone makes it interesting really. The Irish don't use it for their own reasons.

Wait'll the power companies start shutting off all electricity from the main office whenever they want.
That's what those smart power meters can do or can be easily made to do. One reason why the move to them was pushed so hard.

In energy, however, there are different processes and incentives in play. Without JIT-type demand control, utilities *must* become extremely robust. With JIT-type demand control, they can get away with slacking off a lot more. This is efficient - less plant, less infrastructure, fewer people, etc. - but it also means that the system is no longer tolerant to aberrant demand. Even without ill intent (and I think there is also a lot of that going on), a lot of this capability will result in more operational and strategic sloppiness.

Hey, you know how everyone asks how we're supposed to build out infrastructure to transition over to electric vehicles?
That's the thing - they're not gonna. That's the point. Not only will they not build out chargers for the masses, or have enough battery materials... they don't even plan to have electricity on 24/7 for the serfs.
All this talk about fedpoasters goading people into saying stuff here is cute. Much of the horde has NO IDEA what's in store for us. I mean, intellectually you might know, but you don't really understand yet.

Just laziness. No one wants to take the steps that need to be taken. Plus the way our culture operates currently it's difficult to gather enough strangers of like mind rapidly to present a united group ready to act.
Everyone's waiting for some one else to make the first move. And after Jan 6 no one has the nerve.

The states involved are fully prepared to hoist the federal government by their own petard. They will not enforce those laws they deem unconstitutional, especially with respect to the 2A. You are going to see some of this with ATF, if they try to enforce their pistol brace subversion. There is nothing in the constitution or law which gives them legislative power, and the states are about to remind them of that.

Oh yeah. I had a little bit of that JIT crap back when I had one of those evil manufacturing job thingys. That concept cannot scale up very well and is an outright disaster when applied to a global economy. There's no allowance at all for simple things like weather. You need a buffer of some sort to allow for interruptions, as there will be some unexpectedly.
That crap should be discarded in favor of building as many nuke plants as necessary and opening up drilling so we can all enjoy the benefits and blessings of cheap energy. You know, like we had a couple of years ago.

Hendrick Cornelisz Vroom
I think that Kris may need to weigh in on the provenance of this painting. I'm reading that it was actually painted by Cornelius Claesz van Wieringen, who was a student of Vroom's.
In 1621, the Admiralty of Amsterdam commissioned Vroom to produce the painting, but when they saw how much he wanted to do it, they balked and asked one of his students, van Wieringen, to make it instead.

And that was part of the point of the Jan 6th theater, along with providing a figleaf for various witch hunts... but the simple fact remains, they'll either lose control of their street goons - or set them loose - and eventually end up with the wrong people getting killed on camera, and we will be off to the races. I'm betting on that happening before they manage to kick it off with their official fed goons.

So they'll do what they did with electric trams and get them abolished too soon and replaced with more expensive and less rider friendly vehicles just so they can meet a quarterly profit level. *spit*
