The Quotes of The Day

Quote I

“I just don’t feel fully welcome there anymore.” Former Jumbo cashier Lars ten Caat

Quote II

“The Taliban is now sitting on some of the most important strategic minerals in the world. Whether they can/will utilize them will be an important question going forward.” Rod Schoonover, head of the ecological security program at the Center for Strategic Risks, a Washington think tank.

Quote III

“These [Afghan] soldiers will fight. There is no question about that. They are going to be good enough as we build them to secure their country and to counter the insurgency.” Gen Curtis Scaparrotti, commander of US troops in Afghanistan

Quote IV

“In our world, there will be no emotions except fear, rage, triumph, and self-abasement. The sex instinct will be eradicated. We shall abolish the orgasm. There will be no loyalty except loyalty to the Party. But always there will be the intoxication of power. Always, at every moment, there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who’s helpless.George Orwell

I guess I'm not tragically hip. I enjoy my Danner and Red Wing boots. And if they put out a boot with high heels. I'll say "Hell No!".(H/T Doof)

5 Shoe Lovers on Where They Shop for Heels, and Why Wearing Them Is Empowering

When Henry Bae—cofounder of the shoe brand Syro—was younger, they remember wanting to rock heels out in public but being far too ashamed to do so. “I used to trail behind my family on our after-dinner walks, so I could strut on my toes and imagine myself walking on an incline,” Bae says. Flash forward to today, and Bae and their cofounder, Shaobo Han, are now making it their mission to make heels accessible to all. They design heeled styles in a large range of sizes, from men’s 8 to men’s 14. Street style stars, both male or nonbinary, are increasingly sporting heels proudly and stylishly. And it’s about more than just a fashion statement.

Ahh, that's the problem I'm binary or some such thing.

I think if you are going to accuse someone after 56 years of sexual abuse you should have to use your name and not initials. J.C. files suit against Bob Dylan for sexual abuse from 1965.

A woman claims in a lawsuit that legendary singer-songwriter Bob Dylan in 1965 plied her with drugs and alcohol to groom at the age of 12 in order to sexually molest and abuse her.

According to the lawsuit, in the spring of 1965, Dylan, whose given name is Robert Allen Zimmerman, carefully developed an emotional relationship with the plaintiff, a now 65-year-old woman identified only as “J.C.” in the complaint, then repeatedly assaulted and molested her.

I hope you didn't have a 2022 Mercedes Benz V8 ordered. You might not be getting it.


It's no secret that supply chains across nearly all industries are a little messed up right now. Because of that, if you happen to have a V8-powered, 2022 model year Mercedes on order right now, there's a decent chance that it's been canceled. Over the weekend, a Reddit thread surfaced with the original poster alleging to possess a memo sent out by Mercedes-Benz USA to its dealerships. The document states that sales of nearly all 2022 V8 models would be suspended due to, among other things, supply chain issues.

The memo's existence was confirmed by the moderators of the r/cars subreddit and, subsequently, Jalopnik.

When Tesla Says It Recycles 100% of Its Batteries, What Does That Mean?

Battery recycling is notoriously expensive, inefficient, and dangerous. Getting better at it is crucial to making sure electric cars are cleaner.

Tesla is claiming it’s mastered one of the most notorious environmental challenges in electric vehicle manufacturing: Recycling its lithium-ion batteries.

In its 2020 impact report, published Wednesday, the electric vehicle giant described its adoption of a “closed-loop” process that would allow it to keep 100 percent of its batteries, which typically last around a decade, out of the landfill: “None of our scrapped lithium-ion batteries go to landfills and 100 percent are recycled,” the report reads. “We actively implement circular economy principles.”

If true, Adolph Hitler would be proud of the University of Pittsburgh.

REPORT: Documents reveal UPitt may have used organs from live fetuses

New documents obtained by Judicial Watch show that the University of Pittsburgh may have been involved in harvesting organs and other tissues from live fetuses for the purpose of medical research. Much of this research was funded by tax dollars disbursed via federal grants, according to the report.

This information was drawn from 252 pages of records acquired via a Freedom of Information Act request that was initially denied and only granted after Judicial Watch pursued legal action. Per Fox News, a number of physicians and academics familiar with the subject matter have reviewed the documents and came to the conclusion that the fetuses used in UPitt’s experiments were likely alive while their organs were being removed.

One such physician contacted by Fox, Dr. Ronna Jurow, who was formerly affiliated with Planned Parenthood and identifies as pro-choice, asserted that the fetuses unquestionably would have been alive during UPitt’s research, given the way the procedures are described in the documents.

Someday these monsters will have to account for their actions before God.

Go "Genius" or stay home! Genius Award Winner Nominee.

A man accused of leading officers on a police chase Saturday afternoon in Lake Ozark and stealing multiple cars has been arrested.

The Lake Ozark Police Department has not identified the suspect, but says officers arrested a Columbia man in the investigation.

The pursuit began after officers responded to a shoplifting call at a Kohl’s store at Eagles Landing in Lake Ozark. Police say a man took off in a vehicle that was later determined to be stolen from Columbia, leading officers on a chase along Bagnell Dam Boulevard.

Police say the driver was involved in a head-on collision on that street.

The city of Lake Ozarks Facebook page says the suspect left the scene of the crash and eventually went over the first layer of a cliff. Police Department then took the suspect into custody, handcuffed him behind his back and shackled his ankles. He was then placed in the back of a patrol car.


While police were investigating the scene, they say the suspect was able to put his hands in front of him and break out the cage between the backseat and front seat of the car. He then took off in the stolen law enforcement vehicle.


The cougar is caged. I repeat. The cougar is caged. Genius Award Winner.

During a video visitation with her jailed boyfriend, a Florida Woman exposed her breasts and masturbated, according to police who arrested her for the alleged lewd display.

According to court records, Danielle Ferrero, 38, traveled Sunday afternoon to the Charlotte County jail for an hour-long virtual visit with inmate Cody Thomas, 25. Ferrero was in the lockup’s Video Visitation Building, while Thomas was elsewhere in the facility.

“The visitation session occurred via internet feed and there was no physical contact between the inmate and the visitor,” cops noted.

During their visit, Ferrero and Thomas “frequently talked in a lewd manner speaking of sex, sexual organs and sexual activities,” according to a police report. Ferrero “frequently flaunted and rubbed her breasts, covered, showing the revealing outfit that she was wearing calling her outfit naughty.”

After Ferrero “mentioned how she repositioned herself and almost had an orgasm,” Thomas “asked Ferrero to have one for her and she began to rock back and forth in her chair, appearing to have an orgasm,” investigators allege.

Near the session’s conclusion, Ferrero exposed her breasts to Thomas, “resulting in the visitation to be cancelled by staff at the visitation center.”

Age? It's a matter of perspective. Tonight's Feel Good Story of The Day.

CORONADO, Calif. — Local war hero Tom Rice celebrated his 100th birthday Sunday by parachuting out of a C-47 plane over Coronado.

Hundreds of nearby residents, military members included, flocked to the beach to meet Rice when he landed on at the Hotel del Coronado beachfront.

“It’s unbelievable what you can view from up there,” Rice said. “We do a lot of maneuvering up there. That was a lot of fun.”

19 Mask slipped - surpise! The want to punish us for their f-up:

@Budgetbean
A modest proposal: Utah is a red state with plenty of open federal land, unique sympathies towards refugees, and a compassionate/pragmatic governor.

Let's just build a new city there and populate it with 100,000 Afghan refugees who supported our military over the past 20 years.

Best-case scenario: we 1) save our allies, 2) build a YIMBY oasis out west, and 3) turn Utah purple/blue with immigrants who love Joe Biden.

Worst-case scenario: 1+2, except the Afghan refugees are still pretty religious and Utah continues to be a quirky compassionate red state.


To recap: Afghanis get own caliphate w/in US borders, Utah residents get Dem rule forced on them thanks to immigration, while they get to pretend they are the most caring carers ever while still firmly NIMBY/dumping this mess on 'deplorables'.

34 Quote #2 may be right. Afghanistan may have a trillion-dollar deposit of lithium carbonate, which is refined into lithium for batteries. It can't be confirmed until prospectors can drill core samples to see how deep it is because it's only known on the surface and it's located in Indian country, so no one has ever been able to drill.

42 The top pic is very freakin' Beautiful. In The Art Of Motorcycle Maintenance

author Robert Pirsig explores the concepts of Quality, of which Beauty is part and parcel. He concludes mostly that you cannot define quality or beauty, but that you know it when you see it.

A 70s Macintosh tube amp is more beautiful than a Pioneer amp, though both have similar specs. The Mac has paid attention to its esthetics, and it is reflected in its resale value.

Pirsig eventually went insane exploring these concepts.

56 @oldcat, the iron ore is the second largest unmined known iron ore deposit in the world. It's a giant red mountain. The problem is that iron ore is basically dirt, and shipping dirt somewhere else to be smelted has no market value. Someone should build a smelter next to the mountain and ship pig iron or direct reduced iron. But that takes railroads and a stable security environment. So it's going to sit there, a big red mouontain, forever.

Yeah, but seriously, the dude is selling the idea of dropping 100k muslim Afghanis into a state, giving them an autonomus zone, and pretending the worst case scenario is "quirky." It wuld becom a caliphate operating outside of US governance an control, and a base from which AQ could launch domestic terror attacks.

I am gobsmacked he cannot recognize this -- these people are operating in another reality.

Let's just build a new city there and populate it with 100,000 Afghan refugees who supported our military over the past 20 years.

well there were some nice places in that area until a Sultan decided to piss of Ghengis Kahn by killing his ambassadors, so he was the first target of the hordes. There was a cultural flowering around that time but got shut down by fundamentalists. The end of overland trading probably took much of the starch out of the region.

Think Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib shoud dispel the notion that it's only the men who are radical. Women are great enforcers of sharia law (e.g. Huma Abedin's mom is big in the Muslim Sisterhood org), and it's typially the moms who take their daughters in for FGM. Recall that there are doctors in the US who perform that on immigrant daughters -- and it was a woman doctor caught doing this a few years back. Haunting eyes =/= interest in your Western ways.

306 @295 Just so I have this straight for future reference, did the Taliban just take over Kabul without firing a shot? Firing into the air in celebration excepted, of course.

-------------

I remember once reading about a couple of US soldiers in Western Europe during World War 2 who - to pass the time - were doing some quick mental calculations about how much money was spent to kill each German soldier who died, and whose conversation ended with the obvious comment of, "Why don't we just pay each of them that much to stop fighting?"

Based on the limited news that I've heard, that's apparently pretty much what the Taliban actually did.

I've heard the stories about mineral deposits in the past. The problem has always been getting those minerals out of the ground and out of the horribly corrupt country.

China's apparently making nice with the Taliban, most likely because Beijing wants those minerals. But I suspect that relationship will only stay good until Beijing catches the Taliban harboring Uighur jihadis.

403 384 My understanding is that Louis C.K. asked those women if it was alright if he masturbated in their presence. Now they may have believed he was joking, but they did consent.



Looking at the wiki, he had two women in his room and he asked to take his penis out and they thought he was joking, but he whipped it out, and then jerked off. Another one of the accusations was that he was having a phone conversation about business and he masturbated while talking dirty, and she was dating a writer on his show at the time. Oh and those two women, apparently his manager threatened their careers if they kept talking about it.

421 Quick update and another prayer request. I posted on the below thread regarding a fire in my area. It has crested the hill above the small resort town near me. My wife evacuated from work at 4. Last sketchy report was that one flank was on the edge of the highway . If it jumps the highway I get concerned. We are still at level 1but we are packing a car with pictures, clothes, important papers, guns and ammo. Old college bud/roommate lives on the lake. His last trip out at 4 he had embers raining down. It's still about 3 miles from me if it crosses the highway but the area has few access roads and some thick timber. Wind died down about half hour ago and it's calm but they're predicting 15 to 20 mph winds tomorrow early.

Pro gun control fools try to use a single instance of registration that didn't lead to confiscation to refute the idea of registration leads to confiscation. Of course, they always point to one instance, while there are at least a dozen instances where registration lead to firearms being taken from the public. Let's suppose, though, it not that close, the ratio of confiscation after registration and registration that lead to confiscation is 1 to 1.

So, I'm supposed to take comfort in the idea there's only a 50% chance my firearm will be taken? Well, heck, where do I sign?

Having done both, pcp is far worse than lsd.

I was willing to do lsd more than once.

The only time I did angel dust was because I didn't know what it was, though I was told it was on the joint I was smoking. Never again.

Meh, it all depends on what works for you. Hallucinogens do *nothing* for my musical/lyrical creativity; in fact, I'm completely indifferent to music on them. Alcohol used to open my creativity occasionally (at the cost of falling asleep or just wanting to watch TV). Marijuana, though, absolutely improves my musical and lyrical creativity, timing, fluidity, everything. It's like old-school TVs that had the color saturation button. Weed cranks the color saturation up. Whatever I'm doing, if I enjoy it (and it's not dangerous), cannabis sativa, makes it much, much more enjoyable. I think it has something to do with my fairly strong ADD when I'm sober.

"I think the kneeling thing can be very divisive. I've seen Megan Rapinoe almost bully players into kneeling because she really wants to stand up for something in her particular way. I think the rhetoric surrounding this team has been both divisive and inclusive. I guess it's kind of where we are in politics in this day and age."

Sounds like she is pissed the US Team didn't win the gold. If she had any balls (only possible in the new world gender order) she would have said this before the Olympics.

554 A guy who lived near a Res said he'd find piles of empty Lysol spray cans in the woods with a hole punched in the side, to empty the contents to get high. Also on Sundays (no liquor sales) they'd pile out of a pickup at gas stations and buy up all the brake fluid on the rack, stuff like that. Very sad.

Lewis and Clark commented on the Indian attitude towards "the Milk" (booze) as they called it. The Arikara had an interesting attitude. They didn't like it, and believed "Yeah, we'll drink it, if you insist, but you gotta pay us a knife or good breech cloth or something. If you're going to get us drunk and make fools out of us for entertainment, then we need something in return."

They have different priorities in addition to a different set of moral and ethical values in how to address those priorities.

Most of their methods are abhorrent and quite a few of them are aimed at abhorrent ends, but don't make the mistake of thinking that they aren't *effective*. Both their ends and their methods of attaining them.

What the Taliban will do is "whatever the fuck they want without foreign interference from parties unwilling to play the game on their terms". Note that latter group likely does NOT include China; China knows exactly how to work there. Africa has been a warm up for this.

Why couldn't we vet and evacuate our allies? We didn't because biden and his junta hate us our country and all we stand for. I doubt even all the Americans will make it out.

The guy I've been going to since 2002 is like that. He's always tried to *save* me money back when I had an '86 420SEL, a '97 C230, and now my 3 Buicks in a row (which were much younger than the MBs). Once I was thinking about trying out a Jaguar sedan. He warned me, "I love 'em. My wife had one for a long time. But you won't save any money over a Mercedes." So I wisely skipped that and went with another Buick.

there is nothing like and old school Jag. But the problem is you need two of them, one to drive and the other to spend in the shop. I still think they are the coolest cars ever, but they are very finicky.

The problem is all these other vehicles are supposed to be much more long lasting, but really it is situational. I have seen Fords that last forever and also were legit lemons. I have seen Toyotas that have the best engines ever, but the electronics were a joke.

If you buy new there is some protection. But if you buy used, most of these vehicles have the same problems. At this point i wont' say a certain make is better because that has not been my experience.

614 The leaders are out of line. They taught us one thing then changed it on a dime. None of it had a thing to do with defending the country. That is not the way the military should be. I bet the French Army does not act this way. And if that stings, so be it.

How are you handling it? I'm good, I guess because I didn't know anyone there. But I remember the faces of courageous men and women that we left behind Iraq, people who trusted us and risked their lives for us. It was soul- crushing.

I imagine it's similar for others this time around too.

i wish I knew what to say. I was a military brat, my dad did 30 years back when that was a lot. I joined at 17 but my service was nothing special.

I look at it mainly as a historian because that is how I define myself. It is pretty damn shocking how quickly the military has changed. I am still trying to get my head around it to be honest. We always had this one thing we respected and the one thing most Americans believed it. I still am having trouble believing that is gone. I think we need to cashier most of the top brass and we can move on from this. i know a lot of people better than me that would be apoplectic about what is going on today.

Even here, some gave the speech plaudits. It was a good speech to be honest. It helps that he has a press that won't ask questions and he took no questions. The key was how bad he F'ed the thing up. It was smart to pretend the issue was about leaving Afghanistan. That was never the question at all. The issue was how this administration F'ed the entire mission up.

Hang on a sec. You are doing work for a school for the handicapped, staff this is accustomed to making allowances (ramps, carts etc) for physically disabled. And they are having you schlep your tools 200 yards all day?

643 "I joined at 17 but my service was nothing special."

LOL that's what the Good Egg's always say.

"Even here, some gave the speech plaudits... The issue was how this administration F'ed the entire mission up."

Pretty much my take too. His speech "exceeded expectations" with me, but seemed to be in 3-4 parts of compete sections, so he could bail at the end of an early section if he got foggy without it seeming like an incomplete address. More emotion than I expected too. Surprised he didn't actually read "(express sadness for next line)" like he has before.

This entire Decline is affecting me less and less as I realize this is not really America anymore. I know I wouldn't enlist again to protect them. As I said last night: 10% want me in a gulag, 20% will go along with them out of conformity, and 30% can't be bothered enough to care. They're not my people. And they don't deserve to be free.

So I guess it's good I'm not in a frothing rage about something I have little control over. To borrow from Stark: I can't save the Republic, but I can still avenge it.

651 Register Democrat, work your way up, sabo from inside. Because the GOP sure isn't going to attack from the outside.

Historically, these movements always turn on themselves. The Guillotine is hungry and must be fed. There will be committees that decide who. And if "everything is within the State" then attention whores (like Megan Rapinoe and Liz Cheney) who put their vanity above the State are... problematic.

I don't know where you live. But if you live in a red area, or move to one, they will treat you with respect. I know enough red areas to realize they treat liberals and conservatives with respect. You are judged simply one how you treat others. In blue areas, it is much more dicey.
