The Quotes of The Day


Quote I

"The worst part of this is that our victim was abused, that is number one. But also the fact that our suspect is in a position of trust." Fresno County Sheriff Lt. Brandon Pursell


Quote II

‘As we have said, while we have made improvements to our AI, we know it’s not perfect, and we have more progress to make. Dani Lever, a Facebook spokeswoman


Quote III

“The general pattern is that the kids who come from the poorest communities are the ones who have been most affected. But they have not only been affected by lack of access to learning; they have also been affected by isolation. So you’ve got to think about them both together and the mental health implications.”Pedro Noguera, dean of the USC Rossier School of Education

Once upon a time yours truly was younger than his 29 years and in pretty good shape. That being said, "Things I would never do for a $1,000." What would you pay to enter a marathon?

Described as “the world’s first premium ultra,” the Highland Kings marathon requires participants to pay a £15,499 ($21,500) entrance fee. That makes it the most expensive ultramarathon on Earth.’

Ultramarathons aren’t usually associated with luxury, but Primal Adventure, an outdoor adventure business based in Scotland, is hoping to change that by organizing what many are calling the most expensive ultra marathon in history. The Highland Kings, a four-day camping race covering a distance of 120 miles on the west coast of Scotland, is limited to only 40 participants, each of whom will be required to pay an entrance fee of £15,499. The premium cost will give them access to luxury amenities like butlers, Michelin-star chefs, and hydrotherapy pools, among others.

Guess who doesn't 'Coexist'. Hint, it isn't Lutherans.

Taliban militants shot and killed a pregnant police officer in front of her children and husband, the BBC reports. The woman, identified as Banu Negar by local media outlets, was killed in front of family members outside of her family home in the city of Firozkah.


I guess Diversity is too much to ask for as well.

Once upon a time you could go around with a chip on your shoulder for free. Now you can pay big bucks to get that chip.

UPitt to hire professor of 'oppression'

A job listing seeks an assistant professor of "Structural Racism, Oppression, and Black Political Experiences."

Applicants must include a statement of how their work advances "diversity and inclusion. "

I'm from the Government, and I'm here to help to f*ck things up."

EPA Penalized for Polluting

Under the category you can’t make this stuff up, the September 3, 2021 Federal Register included a notice of a proposed settlement agreement, enforcement action alleging air pollution violations for the US Environmental Protection Agency’s Edison New Jersey facility. The federal agency responsible for compliance with environmental regulations did not comply with New Jersey boiler and emergency generator regulations.

OK 'Rons, over the years we've all seen the advertisements for a bigger and better male appendage. I think the male ego has finally jumped the shark.

EVER heard of Scotox? Men are now injecting Botox into the scrotum to decrease sweating, reduce wrinkles, and make the scrotum appear larger due to the relaxation of the muscles.

However, this non-invasive surgical procedure might backfire as it can drastically alter the look of the penis.

Although I do wonder if The Rick Wilson will perform the procedure on his bald dick head.

Happy Unemployment Labor Day. There are job openings everywhere. And not just blue collar.

Enhanced pandemic unemployment benefits, which include $300 weekly bonus checks as well as coverage for freelancers and the long-term unemployed, expire today. Over 11 million people will be affected, with around 7.5 million losing benefits entirely.

Some two dozen states chose to pull the plug on federal aid during the summer, with governors claiming that the extra unemployment insurance was disincentivizing residents from taking available jobs. Out-of-work residents in at least 12 states have taken legal action to try to get that pandemic relief aid reinstated, arguing that they've been unable to pay basic expenses, including rent.

How food waste is huge contributor to climate change
Food production, transportation and rotting waste all cause release of greenhouse gases

Cutting food waste can help the climate. Every day in the UK we waste 20m slices of bread, 280 tonnes of poultry, 4.4m potatoes and much more.

Households squander about 70% of the UK’s 9.5m tonnes of waste food every year. About a third of all the world’s food goes to waste, and producing, transporting and letting that food rot releases 8-10% of global greenhouse gases. If food waste were a country, it would have the third-biggest carbon footprint after the US and China, according to the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organisation.

Liberals are so predictable. If you can't defend your positions and policy call your opponent a "Racist". Oh yeah, even if that opponent is black.

A California professor campaigning for Gov. Gavin Newsom reportedly called Republican gubernatorial candidate Larry Elder "a Black face on White supremacy" during an event with the governor Monday.

Newsom appeared at a get out the vote event with Black elected leaders in Crenshaw ahead of the Sept. 14 recall election, in which Californians will decide whether to recall the governor or keep him in office. Voters who choose "yes" to recall will also be able to pick one of 46 candidates to replace the governor.

Just remember Leftists, Jury Nullification is a 2 way street.

A rioter who shot at SWAT three times during a George Floyd protest has been acquitted of all counts.

Jaleel Stallings of St.Paul, Minnesota, fired at SWAT three times during a George Floyd protest in May 2020, in Minneapolis. The 29-year-old had been hit with rubber bullets and testified that he thought he was being attacked by citizens according to his attorney Eric Rice. Reportedly, officers shot Stallings with rubber bullets after it appeared he was reaching for a rock. The police were in an unmarked van when Stallings opened fire.


On the bright side George Floyd hasn't committed any crimes in over a year.

Quote II above the fold covers AI. There are more and more signs that this Artificial Intelligence isn't very intelligent.

Automated resume-scanning software is contributing to a “broken” hiring system in the US, says a new report from Harvard Business School. Such software is used by employers to filter job applicants, but is mistakenly rejecting millions of viable candidates, say the study’s authors. It’s contributing to the problem of “hidden workers” — individuals who are able and willing to work, but remain locked out of jobs by structural problems in the labor market.

The study’s authors identify a number of factors blocking people from employment, but say automated hiring software is one of the biggest. These programs are used by 75 percent of US employers (rising to 99 percent of Fortune 500 companies), and were adopted in response to a rise in digital job applications from the ‘90s onwards. Technology has made it easier for people to apply for jobs, but also easier for companies to reject them.

I would never speak for you, But......This is my type of club.

A Missouri restaurant was ordered to shut down after violating the county's health orders regarding COVID-19. The cafe defied the orders by reopening as a "private club."

The Jackson County Department of Environmental Health issued multiple warnings and citations to Rae's Cafe in Blue Springs. The county's

Marshanna Smith, a Jackson County spokesperson, told KCTV-TV that the "enforcement of the health order requiring masks is complaint-based, meaning concerned community residents contact us about non-compliance." Smith said 10 complaints had been filed about Rae's Cafe.


There is a reason it isn't named Karen's Cafe.

Our Commander-In-Retreat let down many military families with his military failures. We can't say that about the Tunnel To Towers Foundation. Tonight's Feel Good Story of The Day.

The Tunnel to Towers Foundation is giving the family of one of the 13 fallen servicemembers who was killed in the Kabul airport suicide bombing a mortgage-free home, the non-profit’s chairman and CEO told Breitbart News Saturday.

“We’re building mortgage-free homes for Gold Star Families, and that includes any of the 13 that left behind a young family. And we do know one of them — his wife is pregnant and will be giving birth shortly,” Frank Siller said, most likely referencing Jiennah McCollum, the wife of 20-year-old Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Rylee McCollum, who was killed in the ISIS-K terrorist attack on August 26. “We are going to build her a mortgage-free house. And rest assured, we are going to take care of any Gold Star Family that fits that criteria.”

Breaking News: Americans being held hostage at Afghanistan Airport.

The Taliban is currently holding six airplanes full of American citizens hostage.

According to video released by CBS the Taliban will not clear the airplanes for takeoff full of American citizens and green card holders. There are a total of eleven planes being held captive and eight of them were chartered by conservative radio host Glenn Beck.

The State Department told CBS News the flights will be allowed to land in Qatar “if and when the Taliban agrees to takeoff.” A senior congressional source told CBS News that the Taliban is “basically holding them hostage to get more out of the Americans.”

24 Since when is having an enlarged scrotum considered a good thing?

I've had that (I even have a case of it now.) it's usually a benign condition caused by various reasons if not by and infection or other problem.

It is not fun and it is not comfortable.

And as was pointed out, enlarged scrotum makes the turtle head look a bit retracted and smaller.

59 I worry about the California recall because of the political machine that is behind Newsom. Before Trump was ripped off of the presidency, Nancy Pelosi made a big deal of saying oh no he's not gonna win this one. She said it was a lot of conviction and I thought she was full of shit. But now I think she knows a lot.
She recently just said oh he's not gonna be recalled about her godson Newsom. So I'm thinking the political machine is in position. I hope I'm wrong. Newsom sucks.
Now that he is under threat, we are living pretty peacefully here. He hasn't gone off the deep end with Covid regulations or threatening our water supply again. As soon as he is back in, he's got a wreck his vengeance upon us.

82 I don't understand what the big deal is on saying a black man is a primate.

The Human Species (Homo Sapiens) is a part of the Primate Order.

This is one of those things that points out how the left really thinks about Blacks. They think in terms of derogatory terms. If they see something that to them points to a derogatory term (even if not especially if not) they go, well, Ape about it.

They think Primate refers only to monkeys and gorillas and such. But that's not the facts but they don't bother much with facts.

They just like to get outraged and show how caring they are. (bigoted too)

Things do not bode well for Newsome being recalled and Elder being the next governor, no matter what polls or pundits say.

1. They mailed out ballots to every voter.
2. You can print ballots at home.
3. Vote harvesting is allowed.
4. You can early vote 29 days before the election.

There's more but that's enough to cast doubt on the fairness of the election.

If Newsome is removed I'll eat my hat.

It's all a narrative. They want to set up videos of texas beating and firehosing women trying to "health care" their baby away. Then Biden will send in federal troops to save the women from their malicious monster babies and the entire nation will shout out for joy.

Get ready for it. It's all planned. Either the Texas GOP will completely cave or they will play the whole narrative. The narrative could fail, but even so, the left will pretend it all never happened and just try to get it overthrown in the courts over and over until successful.

129 Biden administration will pursue federal charges against anyone trying to stop women getting an abortion in Texas, AG Merrick Garland says

Apparently besides being unaware of the Constitution he can't read either.

The Texas law does not ban a woman from getting an abortion. It enables those who are concerned parties (father of child, husband, boyfriend, parents, grandparents etc) to sue anyone who facilitated or performed that abortion.

I believe the rationale is that allowing the abortion interfered with their rights in the matter of the child's birth. I would've set the age a little older but this is a good way to go about limiting abortion and allowing the other parties involved with the creation of that life (such as the father) to have a say as right now, only the woman has any say at all in birth even tho other parties are invested and involved.

This will probably be the fourth or fifth time Milady has acquired a car for us without my input (much). Daughter seems to have inherited her wisdom. I trust their judgment. Plus, Milady makes great sandwiches. I think I'll keep her.

BTW whoever decided putting liquid crystal displays in cars was a good idea should be court-martialed.

Hope you had a nice Labor Day Weekend - Saturday I enjoyed some hiking in Blackstar Canyon (7.5 mi, 1000' elevation gain) here in Orange county and Sunday a ride thru Joshua Tree NP followed up by dinner in Cracker Barrel in Victorville.

A most excellent weekend.

208 Without clicking on the link, I'm. inclined to call "bullshit" on the scrotal Botox thing. Especially on the "to reduce wrinkles" part.

Botox is a paralyzing agent. It reduces wrinkles on the forehead and around the corners of the eyes by paralyzing the subcutaneous muscles that have created what is known as a furrowed brow and 'crow's feet'.

Wrinkles on the scrotum, on the other hand (oh stop it, you pervs), also known as rugae, have nothing to do with subcutaneous muscle. To smooth those wrinkles out would require injection of a large volume of liquid (or as zombie has shown, air) within the scrotum itself.

Not that I am denying that there are people stupid enough to try the Botox thing. Just that their ballsacks are surely still wrinkly.

The more technology they put in cars the more cars become disposable, because there is no way the LED gauge cluster in say a Jeep Grand Cherokee or the adaptive cruise control radar modules for a Toyota Tacoma is going to be available in 20 years.

Which is why any car after 2010-2012 is going to be a problem to fix.

241 The more technology they put in cars the more cars become disposable, because there is no way the LED gauge cluster in say a Jeep Grand Cherokee or the adaptive cruise control radar modules for a Toyota Tacoma is going to be available in 20 years.

Which is why any car after 2010-2012 is going to be a problem to fix.

Someone posted a study on a post sometime this weekend that 80% of Americans tested had COVID antibodies.

The CDC says 40M Americans have gotten it, or about 20% of Americans (lower if you count illegals).

The CDC numbers are...wrong. Since the test they've been using for most of the time since COVID came out is inaccurate - but...if we assume that number is basically right that means that 240M Americans got COVID with no symptoms.

307 Ok, a little simplish car knowledge for some. Those that know can tune out. Horsepower and efficiency for a given engine size is tied to compression, or how much the air fuel mixture is compacted before ignition. Emissions largely revolve around how much of the mixture burns and how much goes out the exhaust. To get more power, pre emissions cars used lead additives to fight detonation or knock resulting from high compression. To lower emissions they dropped compression to have less mixture in each cycle. Then they introduced catalytic converters to burn the unburnt mixture before it left the exhaust. The lead ruined the catalytic in the converter so it had to go. Low compression led to weak engines that also didn't get good mileage. Eventally fuel injection and computerized ignition with knock sensors that could adjust timing quickly allowed compression to go up again which is why both power and mileage have returned. So of course the jerks are now trying to force us all to drive AAA battery cars, because the jerks never sleep.

Either prove you've previously had Chicken Pox, or you have to get the Chicken Pix Vaccine. Again.

I figured that. Thing is, CAN is AFAIK 1 mbit/sec thus any type of encryption would be quite costly in terms of latency therefore I doubt they would be running it on the main systems. Entertainment centers, sure-ECU-MCU comms? Not sure of that.

421 So every so often I go to the public library and look through the new arrivals. This time there was a book entitled

The Horde

It is a history of the Mongols and early on does a little linguistic analysis of the word Horde:

The term "horde" entered Persian, Arabic, Russian, and all European languages following the Mongol Conquests, and is widely used today to denote a large crowd of unruly or uncontrollable people. This usage is a distant echo of "horde" as it appears in medieval sources written by travelers, many of them religious men otherwise accustomed to sedentary lives...From these medieval accounts...we get the modern sense of a horde as a powerful and frightening mass.

2. The Bible allows for abortion (with no verses or passages cited)

(B.H. didn't inject a buffer overflow into the box, he actually installed signal amplifiers to analyze the signals between chips and thus determine the internal commands before any external encryption was done.)

You don't want that glitching out or locking up. (Agreed.)

Not saying it's not in the realm of possibility just saying there are going to be vast nearly insurmountable hurdles to keeping technology laden vehicles operational 20 years in the future.

511 We really liked our 2003 Nissan Quest, but it finally had too many problems to fix up (I am no AOP). So, Daughter found [drumroll] a used (of course) 2005 Nissan Quest for a very decent price. [canned laughter] Even after fixing some things, we should be able to get our money's worth out of it, if it lasts a year or more.

This will probably be the fourth or fifth time Milady has acquired a car for us without my input (much). Daughter seems to have inherited her wisdom. I trust their judgment. Plus, Milady makes great sandwiches. I think I'll keep her.

After WWII all the newly liberated colonies went socialist because the leaders had these educations from the greatest schools in the world that all said that they had to go Socialist to be great powers.

All the leaders in the freaking world now have had educations that have taught that organized central economies are the most successful, only you get rid of all the laws and freedoms that impede such a totalitarian grasp for their governments. this is what we get now, totalitarian wannabe states that are bearing down because they can, and it is moral and correct to do such things.

Loved both. Very majestic but something about Bryce made us love it more. Less crowds. Easier hiking.

The often overlooked part of Zion is the east area where few people go. More desolate but lovely. At the end of the road is a lovely reservoir that has camping all along it.

There's a great place to stay outside of Bryce that's easily drivable. And it's just pastoral and we wished we stayed longer. Let me know if you want more info.

But I'm told this (current) period of the One Body, JC as the head (first raised from the dead) was the mystery, so not revealed when they saw a coming, then later, the second coming. ... Christians get gathered together before the tribulation, then the second coming, JC comes in power. we are in the age of Grace.

Steak houses are different. With some exceptions, the high end steak houses get better meat. They pretty much get all the top end of prime cuts. Also, they have ovens that get way, way hotter than the ones regular people have.

i am not saying we can't make great steaks. But the high end steak houses do have an advantage.

There is some argument to be made for the success of China (or the CCP). At least as long as they have a USA to steal ideas from, and to sell to. ... But as Obama lamented "I wish I could just order things done like China can" (something like that)

There are certainly efficiencies in that ... also in being able to pollute, use slaves, toss the slaves out if they get sick or injured. ... It is terrible for the people, but if the serfs become adapted to submission and little hope ... it can be more efficient in many ways.

we definitely have more access to prime cuts than in the old days. It wasn't that long ago when you could never find prime graded steaks in a super market. They say there are different levels of prime, and the top steak houses still buy all of those. I believe that.

If I were you,l I would try a high end steak house but not a chain. Not Mortons, not Ruth's Chris, but something local just to see how they compare with your own.

The best meat I have purchased was from Allen Brothers. It came frozen, that is part of the deal. They were a major sponsor of Rush for a while and then that relationship disappeared. I don't know the details there but they went away as quickly as they showed up. My guess is politics but I don't know that.

Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon


All the wiring -- heh. The old van did have a battery-draining short, so... welll....

Milady Jo has arrived with the new acquisition.

The old green Quest had a bent-up hood and bashed-in grill from hitting a small deer. The passenger side had scrapes and dents from getting too close to a cement post. The back end was crunched in from backing into a sturdy door. The radio dash was cracked and broken, mostly from my smashing the off switch violently any time SCOAMF, later Hillzebub, came on. Long list of interior wear, including the failed liquid crystal gauges. Still smelled of our old dog.

The new white van is totally startling - exactly the same as the old van, but totally clean, like-new interior. New details: power sliding doors, roof rack. Minor annoyance: LQ displays slightly failing, but nothing as bad as the old one. FM radio doesn't seem to work.

Gonna tell our mechanic this is the same old van; we had the dents pounded out, gave it a paint job, and had the interior detailed. I don't think he'll believe me.

I found an extremely well marbled steak at a local Hispanic market. Their meat isn't even graded. You have to use your eyes. I thought I hit the mother load. But when I went back there, the steaks were nothing like that. I think the real deals are with "choice" steaks. There are major differences within that group. You have to judge them for yourself.

Posted by: Quint at September 06, 2021 11:50 PM (8u1Ia)

613 If you're buying it in the States, you're not buying real Kobe or Wagyu. The USDA still won't allow it to be imported from Japan, which is why the JEF had to have it flown in for one of his (taxpayer-funded) parties.

Now, I have had real Kobe, and it is to die for. It is also slightly better than Wagyu.

620 Overtime would be, depending on your state, 6/4 or 8/4.

Even though I played clarinet in school band (5-7th grades), and took some theory in college, I've always had a hard time (NPI) intuiting the difference between something like 3/4 and 6/8. 6/8 is just 2x(3/4). It doesn't mean anything to me other than it's a waltz meter. Waltz meter does make for some hauntingly delicious pop/rock/alt music. Concrete Blonde's "Darkening of the Light" for instance.

I am not expert on this for sure, but I know the term Wagyu gets thrown around a lot. There are for sure different grades of the stuff. At one end you have "Wagyu burgers" ( i mean, come on?). On the other end you have stuff properly named Kobe beef, that costs a couple hundred for a very small steak in Japan.

I would say it is like the difference between a White Alba Truffle and a "truffle pizza" that has mushrooms and is sprinkled with truffle oil.

Posted by: Quint at September 07, 2021 12:07 AM (8u1Ia)

625 I go to a local bar/restaurant. They make good food but sometimes I think they stretch things a bit too much. One special was a "tenderloin". The price seemed low so for sure I ordered it. What I got was not a tenderloin and it was obvious. I asked the waiter about it and he said that they called it a tenderloin because the meat was tender.

They also have Laphroig 10 for sale on the menu. But they only have Laphroig Select in the bar. The later is a cheaper whiskey. I said something to a bartender and he apologized. I said no worries, just lettting you know of the discrepancy. A year later, same thing. Oh well, I guess I was the only one who noticed or cared.

631 Final note about the new used van. Seller had spent $ shipping the car from Calif to Kan because he thought it had about 40K miles on it. Turns out, the LQ display of the odometer was not displaying the 1 before the 40.

He seems to have been wanting to get rid of it because he kicked himself about the error. He lowered the price by thousands before we found it. Discounted all the fees for the final sale. Works for me!

649 hmmm... did the pharmacy math 15.5% ABV into 1500 ml total volume equals 232.5 ml pure ETOH. i currently have ~ 800, so i'm thinking grapa, at about 34.5%...

not quire vodka, but respectable, and, more importantly, drinkable, unlike the wine.

657 saw an awesome Milky Way, lying in the brush above the firing range beaches at Ft Ord, back in the lat e80's... we were in between events, looking at the stars, and noticed a satellite moving N to south on track to scan the base (Home of the 7th ID (L) at the time)... i wonder what the photo interpreters said when they saw us?

676 sounds good. I like to add bacon and mushrooms to my grilled cheese so not a stretch

677 tell me Skip, do you have bats in your bell tower? lol

Posted by: Pikov Andropov at September 07, 2021 04:12 AM (y7zkd)

678 I was very surprised there seems to be bats up there, or pigeons.

685 Heading out, a bit dark to start at 6am outside, but that seems to be the rules.
Have a great day horde, can pop in now during the day.

Posted by: Skip at September 07, 2021 04:31 AM (2JoB8)

686 I prefer to think that Pixy is actually taking a break, sleeping late; well actually with that whole other-side-of-the-planet thing I spoze itw'd be going to bed early ?
anyway, if he was in the fail-to-send-a-selfie-and-get-arrested zone we would have heard all about it already, no ?

688 Mornin', all,

Up about my usual time, but I have a dawn mission: to pick up the older cat, Chekov, at the emergency vet. They close at 7 am. His numbers all looked good when I checked with the vet yesterday afternoon about 5, and they have not called me with any emergencies, so he may not have to start insulin injections. At least not yet. His spike in blood sugar went away in a few hours with their treatment.

Of course he will probably hide out in the hotel room again. But they gave him an appetite stimulant, so with any luck he'll come out and actually eat.

689 My son had a really big scrotum all of a sudden when he was 5.

It was caused by a hernia.

690 Also, today, want to stop at the pipe shop for a lighter -- the breeze outdoors makes it impossible to keep a match lit when I want to smoke my pipe. And I will call the barbershop about a haircut and beard trim. This is a local barber who defied the Stasi in May 2020 about their lockdown order. If nothing else I'd like to stop in and give them my support. But the hair and beard both look like I've been in the wilderness for a month . . . which, come to think of it, is about right.
