I love you and America loves you.” Gold Star Parent Shana Chappell National Ampersand Day is celebrated on September 8 each year to honor ‘&,’ a Latin character and a logogram that depicts the conjunction ‘AND.’ The ampersand has been in use since the first century A.D. Although most people don’t give much thought to this symbol, it has a long and illustrious history. Even if you don’t consider yourself a language nerd, we think it’s the perfect day to celebrate. We got back our traitor. And Afghanistan got new government officials. What a f*cking deal! AFGHANISTAN – According to reports, the Taliban formally declared the formation of its government on September 7th, and the list of top officials included several well-known names. Specifically, the four of the five Taliban commanders that former President Barack Obama released in 2014 in exchange for captured U.S. Army deserter Bowe Bergdahl. Back in August, Mohammad Nabi Omari, the fifth member of former President Obama’s “Taliban Five,” was appointed as the Taliban’s governor for Khost province.

Oh the horror!!! Denmark proposes that immigrants work to receive aid. Denmark has proposed making migrants work 37 hours a week to earn welfare benefits because 'there are too many, especially with non-Western backgrounds, who do not have a job'. The proposal by the minority Social Democratic government, a traditionally left wing administration that has adopted right wing anti-immigration policies, would require migrants who have been on benefits for at least three years to find work. It said the programme was necessary because many women of foreign descent do not work, especially those with roots in the Middle East, North Africa, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Turkey. The practitioners of the Religion of Pieces also don't have much of a work ethic. (CNN)At a Munich auto show Monday, Volkswagen unveiled the ID.

Hey everybody! Hey ONT!
Vinyl went by the wayside, but has made a return. Will the same hold for VHS tapes? And who can forget, "Please be kind and rewind"? (H/T Doof) I've always been a huge fan of reel-to-reel audio recorders, and people here have told me that the format is making a smaller comeback along with the major resurgence of vinyl. Funny you share this today MisHum. Today I was window shopping online at my favorite remastered LP store, Acoustic Sounds, and found they're selling reel-to-reel copies of some classic and fairly new jazz recordings, including by Norah Jones. So I took a look. $450!!! for *one* tape. Whaaaaa??? I want reel-to-reel to come back, but good grief!!

When we lived inSC Bllom/Food Lion had carts with a scanning tool. You scanned your purchase and put it in the cart and the cart somehow weighed it for accuracy. Kind of like the self serve checkouts. You did have to pay for it at the checkout. Didn't last long. Actually that Bllom store didn't last and became a regular Food Lion. Nice store but probably lost a ton of money on the scanning crap.

"Mike + The Mechanics."
Yes, the plus sign is definitely easier. I write it with a sort of loop at the top, so I don't have to lift my pen from the paper. And somewhere I picked up a weird kind of shorthand symbol for "with" - a letter "c" with a line over the top. I *think* it comes from the Latin for "with" which is "cum" (and no, that's not a dirty word in Latin). Posted by: Dr. Mabusette, just to clarify things at September 08, 2021 09:17 PM (T5drW) 76

After spending many hours digitizing old VHS tapes and ripping old DVD recordings, I have to say that the tapes have much better longevity. Sure they're analog and the quality isn't great (NTSC), but recorded DVDs have a bad habit of degrading with time. When blocks become unreadable, you might as well make it a coaster. Commercial DVDs are better, but not perfect.

I've read that the vast majority of movies and shows that were published on videotape were never digitized, so there are lots of things that can ONLY be seen with a VCR. You'd think it's the other way around, since dvds are very cheap to make, but manufacturers have only selected the top quality stuff to transfer to dvd. There's much more (probably not that good, but it's still out there) that might be lost for good.

Buying a new vehicle? Maybe.
Biden's new CAFE standards will be kicking in and car manufacturers are already moving to accommodate them. What does that mean? _ Downsizing, two examples: 1. A mid size Hyundai, a few years ago, could be purchased with a V-6, now, a 2.5 four banger with a blower is an upgrade. 2. An F-150 comes with a sewing machine engine if you want a V-8 you buy a Super Duty. This is an analogue of Carter 1978. Now is the time to buy your - for the next ten years - car.

I don't follow the "horse dewormer" controversy, but the people at CNN are apparently too uninformed about pharmaceuticals to realize that drugs sometimes ARE used for more than one medical treatment, AND across species.
Years ago I had a dog who needed eye medications because his tear ducts didn't produce tears. One of the medications that helped his eyes produce tears was something that had been used for a completely different medical treatment in humans when some researcher discovered that it also helped tear ducts function. It had been okayed for use in tear duct treatment in animals, but had not yet been okayed in humans because of not enough testing.

the people at CNN are apparently too uninformed about pharmaceuticals to realize that drugs sometimes ARE used for more than one medical treatment, AND across species.
They are that dumb, but at this point they know better but are just saying this anyway because Narrative and they know their dwindling viewers are too bubbled, stupid, or foolish to find differently. Possibly all three. Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at September 08, 2021 09:40 PM (KZzsI) 182

The great (comparatively speaking) bargain for trucks, is to buy commercially spec'd "white trucks". You know, like what the plumber buys for his fleet. (of course, his personal truck is a fully pimped out 4x4 diesel with all the best options)
Vinyl seats, AM/FM radio, sometimes, even wind up windows and no cruise. Vinyl floors. Not "vinyl floor mats." nope. FLOORS. Fleet trucks, in other words. Spartan, basic, utilitarian. In other words, the Mosin-Nagant of trucks. You can still get strong drivetrain options in many of 'em, with Heavy Duty cooling, etc. You want a truck for work, that's your truck.

As dawn rises on New York City on 11 Sept they start blowing up all those stranded Americans while the European media outlets film it. Pray it never happens. Posted by: Anna Puma at September 08, 2021 09:30 PM (qsfSB) This could happen. My bet is the Taliban boys blow-up our empty Embassy in Kabul, perhaps at the instant the first plane went into the North Tower. Live-streamed. I don't believe they will kill Americans for a while yet, maybe never. They have Bug-Out Joe by the short-hairs and they know it. They'll milk Joe for every dollar, ton of chick-peas, and ton of diesel and gasoline they can. American hostages killed by the Taliban could topple Joe; why would they chance getting rid of their best friend in the US?

I don't follow the "horse dewormer" controversy, but the people at CNN are apparently too uninformed about pharmaceuticals to realize that drugs sometimes ARE used for more than one medical treatment, AND across species.
Years ago I had a dog who needed eye medications because his tear ducts didn't produce tears. One of the medications that helped his eyes produce tears was something that had been used for a completely different medical treatment in humans when some researcher discovered that it also helped tear ducts function. It had been okayed for use in tear duct treatment in animals, but had not yet been okayed in humans because of not enough testing.

Ahhh, my old ride, a 2006 V6 RAV4 was about to cost me more money than it was worth to bring it up to spec, so I bought a new car a few weeks back.
As I'm not sure how long the good lord has me walking this earthly realm, I treated myself to a tricked out Mazda CX -30 Turbo. Damn hard to come by, but the dealer had just taken delivery of said beast, and I wasn't going to miss an opportunity. Easiest sale they made that month I'm sure. I knew what the RAV was worth in trade, and I got a reasonable deal on the purchase according to KBB, and Edmonds. They were happy , I was thrilled... There is a certain joy in getting a new car, especially one you actually will enjoy driving. It's been since before my kids were born that I've had a fun car to drive. I'm sure my attorney will earn his keep handling the speeding to keys that are bound to come my way. Posted by: browndog Official Mascot of Team Gizzard at September 08, 2021 10:11 PM (BgMrQ) 318

I got a job in a Lowe's lumber yard / warehouse when I was 16. One day the manager asked if I could drive the flat bed lumber truck as they needed it at a job site across town to return some product. I said sure and was given the directions. Anyway I jumped into the truck and saw this extension on the stick with a red button. Had no clue how to operate though I had heard of of a split shift.

My guess is that the prices won't be dropping.
They dont have to. Just walk out is worth it. I dont shop Whole Foods (they only allow criminals to carry concealed in their Texas stores) but I drive out of my way to go to the stores that let me just scan my purchases, drop them in my shopping bag, and avoid the cashier or the self-service scanner. It isnt literally just walk out. I do have to scan a QR code just past the self-service checkout before paying. But it is a huge timesaver and makes shopping a lot nicer. When I was a Sams Club member several years ago, it really was just walk out. Which, given how long most people take to go through checkout there, was also something I appreciated.

I learned to drive on a 1980 Chevy bl*zer. Three in the tree.
I thought my father hated me. Posted by: nurse ratched at September 08, 2021 10:14 PM (U2p+3) Gee. An '80 Bl*zer with 3 on the tree would be an odd duck, for sure. Three on the tree was well-nigh extinct by that date. I remember seeing one of the "Iranian" Chevelles that had been slated to be shipped to Iran. Then the hostage crisis hit, and they were sold locally. They had 3 on the tree. Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at September 08, 2021 10:23 PM (IZvot) 355

VCR story has errors. You just use the three RCA hookups and select that input in settings. There are still used VCRs on eBay and I remember when you couldn't get turntables so once the supply dries up somebody will make them again. I have a zillion, I used to buy them for a dollar apiece at Goodwill when everyone was dumping them for CDs. I have just about every movie I ever liked. Except for the worn out kids ones, they all play fine. I also have most of the classic rock I like on CD, which I got cheap when people went digital. Advantages of not caring about latest tech or new media.

Is that, simultaneously, heel on the brake and toe on the accelerator?
Posted by: Braenyard at September 08, 2021 10:23 PM (iXLWn) No. It was an actual mechanical device, a check valve in the brake hydraulic line, that retained whatever brake pressure was used to stop the car, as long as you were on an upgrade, and had the clutch pedal depressed. Release the clutch pedal to resume forward motion, and the brakes release as the clutch takes up. Slicker than owl snot. Subaru has adopted it.

Late to the party, but this is pretty good.
https://tinyurl.com/4zjbts33 Yes, realize this is just happy talk and everything is doom forever, but I thought it was worth mentioning. Now back to our regularly scheduled defeatism: Nothing matters, we are all done, hope is an illusion, struggle is a waste, trying is a step on the road to failure, everything is written, the future is set, we are all meant to be slaves, best to submit, dying on a pile of brass is just dying early and loud, submission releases your worries, accept the fate of your kind, failure is more than an option - it is our destiny, our fate. Right, now that I got *that* out of the way (so many seem to need a good dose of defeatist gloom, like a tablespoon of cod liver oil to keep them regular) go look at my link. There are a lot of information streams out there beyond the MSM. Just saying. Posted by: Mikey NTH - Outrage Outlet Summer Biden Special!

"How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property- either as a child, a wife, or a concubine -must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men."

If you're paused on a hill you should turn your steering wheel a bit so front wheels are not in line with rear.
Posted by: vmom stabby stabby stabby stabamillion at September 08, 2021 10:41 PM (oEn12) Uh, that was the rule for parking on a hill. If there is a curb, turn you front wheels to the left, so that the right front will hit the curb, and stop the car from rolling should the parking brake give out. If no curb, turn front wheels to right, so car rolls into the ditch, not the traffic. Do the opposite if parked on a downgrade. Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at September 08, 2021 10:46 PM (IZvot) 437
336 In about 10 years we'll be all driving 30 and 40 year old cars like they do in Cuba, and for the same reason. Communism.
I already drive nothing but 20-50 year old cars, and don't plan to do anything in the foreseeable future but look for a very nice low mileage Town Car when the market settles down a little, if it does. I live where rust doesn't happen, and despise modern vehicles. You can't fix them or see out of them and peak technology was reached in the late 90s for practical car usage. I get low to mid 20s on the freeway, the ride is smooth, and I don't need to win drag or road races. All the tech gimmicks I ever need are on my phone.

Tires are interesting. I grew up when most tires were not radials and squealing sliding and burnouts were the standard...nothing really could corner without lots of drama and that's part of why the old car chases were so entertaining on film. I got a 71 Olds 98 last year and put radials on it that were equivalent to the stock size. Did absolutely nothing to the suspension, which is all stock. That car really doesn't corner any different than my 03 Town Car. It's all in the tires, I guess.

But...that year had the alternator stator built into the clutch basket, meaning you had a series of magnets that were epoxied around the inside diameter of the basket, and if you got the clutch super hot a lot of times you could break the magnets free, and then you get to open your asshole to buy a new one for $400. lol Posted by: Berserker-Dragonheads Division at September 08, 2021 11:54 PM (VwHCD) 603

I gave my old standard shift Camry to my nephew. He destroyed the transmission before he left town. I'm mostly convinced he jammed it into reverse instead of fifth ... they were on the highway and and he said he was shifting when it went out. ...

I had a '64 Bug; if you timed the rpms right you could shift with no clutch. Iianm, that's speed shifting.
Posted by: GnuBreed, no circumstance at September 08, 2021 11:51 PM (F0YaR) Speed shifting is more like you force it to engage the next gear, regardless of RPM match. Typically done in drag racing, where you don't want to give up any engine RPM's. Hard on the synchronizers. But that's racing.

true story: i got a speeding citation, of sorts, on my official Army driving record, for speeding in a convoy. i was the last M-35 6x6 in a serial of 5, and we were going around a closed circuit.
being bored out of my mind, i put the transfer case in low range, and shifted through all 5 forward gears, getting lots of chirps in the dirt/gravel, but passing no one. our "motor sgt" had a shit fit, claimed i was doing at least 45, since i hit 5th gear, even though i showed her the data plate that listed top speed for low range. (she was an FFT, and her day j*b was TAMMS clerk) she couldn't explain how i was speeding, if i didn't pass anyone, but pissed off females aren't the most logical of creatures.

If you're lucky and don't crack the magnets they could be epoxied back in place, but thats if you're real lucky. Usually they stack up against each other like a car pile up and get all screwed up, and sometimes take out the alternator.

Posted by: GnuBreed, no circumstance at September 09, 2021 12:07 AM (F0YaR) I learned how to start my VW vehicles with a spark plug socket on a ratchet handle. The spark plug socket just fit the generator pulley nut. So switch on the ignition, put the socket on the generator nut, and slooowly pull the engine through a revolution until the increasing effort tells you a cylinder is coming up on compression. Then give the ratchet handle a quick flip through about a 45 degree swing. That should pull the cylinder through TDC, and it will start if the plug fires on the cylinder with fuel mixture in it. With practice, I could do it nearly first time, every time. Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at September 09, 2021 12:14 AM (IZvot) 637

Well. That cops/citizen video, which I watched IN IT's ENTIRETY, was very interesting. One of the things most interesting, was the former cop's accusation to the lead 'interrogator' about whether, in the course of his duties, had ever lied before. He further claimed that they are trained to lie, as a former cop would know.
And, of course, it is true. THEY can lie to you. And unless they are federal fuzz, YOU can lie to them. Though I don't recommend that... better to refuse to answer their questions. Part of the reason we acquiesce to the powers that be is that we do not know our inherent rights as citizens. Telling them to fuck off is one of our God given rights. Charge me or let me go should be in everyone's vocab. They rely on fear of the justice system; let them fear the internal corrective system of the actual laws.

Way-ull, I was doing a really terrible production of Twelfth Night in a horrible little theatre on Ventura Blvd. in the mid-80s. After a rehearsal, prior to going to a post-rehearsal party, I was chatting with one of my fellow actors in the parking lot of the 7-11 next to the theater. I had the fencing foils that I had loaned to the production with me and then, a cop car rolled up. The driver said to me to come over there, and I, being an innocent, figured he wanted to talk about the foils. (part 1).

I, being an innocent, grasped the foils so that the points were reversed, down at my heels, pointing away from the cops. As I walked up, about 25 or 30 feet, at no time did they tell me to put the swords on the ground or stop or anything like that. Once I got up to the door of the car, I saw, much to my surprise, that the cop had his gun out, pointed at my face, and was saying, "Don't you bring those fuckin' swords near me!"

Being human, I involuntarily took a step backward and spread my arms out to my sides. They did the whole frisk me thing while the fellow actor who I'd been talking to was quietly freaking out. Once they'd determined that the foils had no points or edges, they drove off, saying something about how they could put someone's eye out.
