Quote I “The mystery of human existence lies not in just staying alive, but in finding something to live for.” Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Quote II “i see the u.s. is having it’s dumb little annual pity party again” Professor Jonathan Weisberg
Quote III There's one REAL victim's group whose needs have never been addressed: those of us who lived, who escaped the horror, and have had to deal with a laundry list of problems that came with survival: The Guilt. The Shame. The Mental Illness. The Addictions. The Unidentified Health Problems.
Matthew Noto
Quote IV “I want to make sure that this recognition of this solemn moment is not lost in this conversation… I know that there are many cultural issues or concerns, but when I think of 9/11 what stands out most in my mind is people who didn’t just think of themselves.” Fairfax County Public School board member Karen Keys-Gamarra
Quote V I think privacy is an even bigger problem today, especially given the amount of data on Americans that is available in so many ways, commercially, social media, and you talk about the prospect of foreign governments getting it!Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR)
Quote VI “My hope would be that every religious group in the world would work avidly to convince their members that you cannot be a truly godly person unless you have respect for every path to God,” Monsignor Jim Lisante
Quote VII "Here's my conundrum. My school employs me to be an authority on the subject of ethics. I hold a Ph.D. in ethics and ancient philosophy and I'm here to tell you, it's ethically wrong to coerce someone to take a vaccine. If it happens to you, you don't have to do it. If you don't want a COVID vaccine, don't take one. End of discussion. It's your own business." Dr. Julie Ponesse is an ethics professor at Ontario's Huron University College,

From Last Meals to Last Words, What Can Death Row Prisoners Request Before They Die? As a Texas man sues for his pastor to touch him during his execution, a guide to rights for the condemned.
John Henry Ramirez does not want to die alone. The Texas prisoner knows that at his execution, scheduled for Wednesday evening, he will be able to see witnesses through a pane of glass. A stoic prison official will probably be standing near his head. But Ramirez also wants his Baptist pastor to lay a hand on him as he dies.“It's part of my faith –- there's so much about the power of touch,” Ramirez told The Marshall Project during an interview last week. “You bless someone at the time of their most spiritual need.”
Having lived in smaller communities most of my life, I can see how this would happen.
Kimberling City, Missouri is currently without a police force and several other key employees.
The small town of Kimberling City, Missouri, which is nestled in the heart of the Ozarks a stone’s throw away from the wholesome attractions of Branson, is soon to be without a police department after every single member of the force resigned within a matter of weeks. Granted, the entire force of the small town, which has a population of roughly 2,400, is comprised of five people, but it does appear that their having all resigned within the same period of time was no coincidence. Kimberling City Mayor Bob Fritz told Branson Tri Lake News that the department is normally staffed with six officers, but a detective retired in July.
Women's rights? Why would you need rights when you are treated as personal property?
Afghan women wearing full face veils sat in rows at a Kabul university lecture theatre Saturday, pledging commitment to the Taliban's hardline policies on gender segregation. About 300 women -- covered head-to-toe in accordance with strict new dress policies for education -- waved Taliban flags as speakers railed against the West and expressed support for the Islamists' policies. A handful wore blue burqas, which have only a small mesh window to see from, but most wore black niqabs covering most of the face apart from the eyes.

This secret ingredient is finger licking good and addictive.
A Chinese food stall owner was recently arrested after admitting to adding poppy husk powder to his dishes to get patrons hooked on them. In late August of this year, the Lunan Police Station in Lianyungang City, China’s Jiangsu Province, received information that a local hot noodle stall owner might be using illegal ingredients to make his food more appetizing and more addictive. Apparently, the anonymous whistleblower had recently watched public safety warning videos about shady businessmen lacing their food with poppy husks to make them seem more appetizing, and wondered if the food stall that made the delicious hot noodles he loved so much was doing the same thing. As it turned out, they were in fact adding poppy husk powder to the noodles, to make them literally addictive, as a way to boost business.

The search for the Elixir of Life yields a Genius Award.
SEPTEMBER 10--A Florida Woman who had to be pulled from the cab of a fire engine that she tried to steal denied being under the influence of the usual street potions, but said that she had taken the “Elixir of Life” before trying to boost the emergency vehicle, according to court records. Responding to a call about a woman acting erratically on the beach in St. Augustine Beach, cops and fire rescue workers late last month discovered Kailani Jo Kroll, 39, in distress. Kroll, who lives two blocks from the beach, said she needed CPR and other treatment. But while being escorted to an ambulance, Kroll began running back and forth. “Due to no crime being committed at this point...I had no reason to chase her,” Officer Brandon Hand reported. But as police and firemen began entering their vehicles to depart the scene, someone yelled, “She’s stealing the truck!” Kroll, investigators allege, had opened the door of an unsecured fire engine and got in the driver’s seat. St. Johns County Fire Rescue personnel responded by pulling her from the cab. Witness Jessica Benton told police that, “I thought she was fixin’ to drive off.”
What a wonderful couple and Tonight's Feel Good Story of The Day. (H/T SandyCheeks)
The Fitters have dedicated their lives and their marriage to caring for those in need. An elderly couple has retired from fostering after welcoming over 600 children into their home over the last 56 years. Pauline and Roger Fitter, both in their 80s, actually started fostering when they’d been married for just three months. This was due to a vow Mrs Fitter made when she was working as a nurse in a residential nursery caring for young children waiting to be adopted: “It really hurt me to see these babies becoming institutionalized and I promised myself at the age of 19 that when I married I would foster,” she shared with the BBC.

The CEO of Salesforce said the company will help employees leave Texas, and he did so while retweeting a story linking the offer to concern about Texas' new anti-abortion law.
On Friday night, CEO Marc Benioff retweeted a post about the story, adding, "Ohana if you want to move we'll help you exit TX. Your choice." Ohana is a Hawaiian term for family.

Love the sinner. See if you can help them stop sinning. Don't honor the sin as a defining lifestyle and put them in charge of the church. I'm not the greatest theologian, but I THINK I am paraphrasing the intent of one of the biggest figures in the instruction manual...

Dead Sea: Never been. Sounds boring, and I have a standing policy of not vacationing in active war zones which frankly Israel is, so no go. Well, okay, I'd consider it if I bought along enough hardware and "friends" to make every alphabet agency on the planet collectively shit itself, but unless I win several lotteries that's unlikely to happen.
Grand Canyon: I went there when I was a teenager, all I really remember is that it was really foggy and the bus ride took forever. It sucked.
Disney: Went to Disney World when I was really young, or so I'm told. Apparently I fell asleep and a gaggle of mascots crowded around trying to rouse me with no success, so clearly a record minimum of fucks were given by Young C++ that day. Went to Disneyland in college as part of a company event, boring as hell. I did like the Pirates Of The Caribbean ride, but mostly just because it was underground and it was hot as balls outside that day.

My college roommate lived near Tampa, and I stayed with his family for a couple days (either on the way down to school or the way back, I forgot). His mom took us to Disney World. I remember having fun. It probably helped that he had a sister fifteen years his junior, so her excitement was infectious.

Machu Picchu: Never been, sounds like a huge pain in the ass. And apparently they don't do live human sacrifices there anymore, which really takes away a lot of the appeal.
Great Wall: Meh. It didn't work when it needed to. But I guess it Made China Great The First Time, so there's that. I do like the author's suggestion to check out the more rural parts, and if I ever find myself in China that's probably the part of the country I'd want to explore anyway.

You see that frequently at the launch ramps around here, even more so north of here. There's apparently some kind of loophole about outboard motors. You also see them cut down trees with chainsaws, then use hand planes and draw knives on the lumber. Nobody's quite sure how it works. But the Amish are cool and generally don't bother anybody, so it's all good.

Well, the Mona Lisa is just one of the art works you get to see at the Louvre, but that painting itself didn't seem worth the build up. I thought the Sistine Chapel was pretty impressive. The problem was, when I saw it in the early nineties, the wait was awful. I'm glad I took my Europe trip back then. The crowds even then were bad, but from what I've seen recently they're much worse.

Someday, I expect we will learn that Bug-Out Joe and Blinken cut a deal with the Taliban, with a lot of money up-front and promises of much future "humanitarian aid." In return for what, exactly? Hard to say, because Joe and Tony were snookered. (Hard to believe, huh?) Because if my prediction is correct, the Taliban now have the biggest blackmail info in modern times on Joe. If it is revealed Joe paid the Taliban in return for anything, not even Pelosi and Schumer can save him from impeachment and conviction.
So the Taliban probably called Joe and told him they want the vehicles returned, or else they'll rat on Joe.

ISWYDT. I don't have many visits to the trap places, but I liked Rushmore. Branson and Disneyworld were at best okay. The Disney thingy was a one day visit. As to Branson, I tried to get to the other side of town to visit the smiths and glassblowers but bailed out after a half hour in unmoving traffic. Pulled off into a little park, picniked and had a nice nap under a big ole oak tree, and headed for the next trap... some Ozark artsy-fartsy village.

There is no one set of rules for the Amish/Mennonites. The rules, while never written, are set by the Bishop of the local community and is know as The Ordnung ('order' or 'discipline'). His word is law.
So, in one community, for example, electrical equipment may be allowed in the business and farm buildings but not the home. In another, electrical equipment may not be used for any reason, at any time. Autos - sometimes yes, sometimes no - or maybe allowed for specific uses.
I do think, however, they all draw the line at twin 300 HP Yamahas.

There is a wonderful book I read many years ago, called "Old Sarum." It's a fictional history of the families that settled England from far north. IIRC, they were heading south when game became scarce, intending to follow the pathway from the stories the elders told. Then they came to the white cliffs of Dover and saw their pathway was cut off.
Through the generations, they also tell the story of building Stonehenge.
Anyway, of the thousands of books I've read, it's one of those I always remembered.

I liked Pisa though not so much Venice. Sure it is laughable everyone goes for the same shot and the same joke pictures. The best we took were of other tourists trying the joke pics. They are even funnier when they make no sense at all.
But Pisa seemed like a nice town really. there are some towns that are so toursity, that they are only stop off for an hour or so. At night, they turn into ghost towns once the buses and trains stop rolling. And the area around Pisa is pretty nice.

Central Montana has a number of Hutterite colonies. They used to show animals at the Yellowstone Exposition in Billings and sell produce and meats at the farmers market downtown.
At the time, because of such a small Hutterite population and laws on marrying close relatives, an annual rumor was that a number of the Hutterite women would get impregnated by local men each Summer. As I said, it was a persistent rumor but I did have a friend that did sleep with one Hutterite girl. I know this because he had the car keys with him and until he got done we were stuck in the car waiting.

Looked up "99 suburban windshield wiper relay" on DDG. Found a EweToob video that was tedious and boring, but the next one up was short and to the point. Some guy going by "Midwest Garage". He showed how to change the "pulser board" built into the wiper motor; just 3 screws and a harness plug. He said, additionally, that although a new board costs only a few dollars, the old one can usually be fixed by repairing one or two colder solder joints on the board. I dug out good hand lens, had a look, and sure enough: colder solder joints. Ten minutes with the soldering iron, popped it back in, and it works perfectly.

Salisbury Cathedral is lovely, but it was rather jarring to me that they let tourists wander all around during services. We happened to be there during...verspers? Eventide? Something like that ( I am not CoE, my apologies for not remembering) and I was shocked that they didn't shut the doors and ask the tourists to leave. It was such incredibly beautiful music, but impossible to fully enter into the spirit of the thing with hundreds of people milling around.
I think I saw one of the Magna Cartas in Salisbury. I think. Saw another somewhere in or around Norfolk maybe? The scenery in that part of England is bland to say the least, but the history is fabulous. I want to go back to Lincoln and York!

Been to the Louvre a few times. Someone should sit down and paint "Crowds snapping pictures of Mona Lisa". It's a great part of the museum to skip.
Sistine Chapel...I found the whole Vatican City experience underwhelming but we were traveling with some Catholics so we had to...it might have been a different story if we could get in off-hours or something but the usual run of tourist experience is that you're herded through everything else like cattle, dumped into the Sistine Chapel, where a bunch of robed enforcers try to keep the mobs quiet and quickly moving on.

It illustrates two things, one, what petty, worthless, simpletons Bush surrounded himself with and two, we (USAF) were ready to solve the problem the day it started.
Airman: 'See those planes? Every one is loaded with nukes - tell me where you want 'em.' We look over and there are just rows of B-52s, wingtip to wingtip.

I went through the louvre in record time. There are three or for famous works you have to see and then the rest of it is for people interested in the art.
One place I can recommend in Paris is the Rodin Museum. It gets much less traffic and it is a joy to visit. Half the works are in an old home and the other half are outside, in the gardens. That is a great museum for people who don't like to spend too much time in museums.

You got your Roman antiquities here, your Complete History of Undergarment exhibit there, your stolen Egyptian artifacts yonder down the hall, right next to the Pink Floyd exhibition on the other side of Queen Victoria's Lesser Crowns. Quintessentially British quirk and yet perfectly pulled off.
Then there's the Louvre. I have been fortunate enough to go to Pairs many times now and love it more each time, but I have yet to go to the Louvre. Who the hell needs to look at like 10,000 paintings, ffs?! Or all that overwrought Froggy furniture? Not me, that's for sure. I need my art in small doses; the Dutch are good at that. Amsterdam is my favorite place for museums, if museums I must go to. And being as I mentioned a very uncultured person, I do try to go and absorb some when I can.

Turns out Ruby Falls and Rock City are both fantastic little stops for one day if you're in the area. Rock City was essentially the work of a madman, while Ruby Falls is a big-ass waterfall underground and you tour a 1/2 mile or so of cave to get there. The "big reveal" is silly, but it's worth seeing.
The neat part? They don't know where the water for that big-ass waterfall comes from.

He had nothing to say after that.

Now, cataloguing the top 10 Worthy tourist traps, that's a much shorter list. Maybe in the 10s of thousands. But hey, I'll give 'er a go --
Carlsbad Caverns. That's a fuckin' cool hole in the ground.
White Sands National Monument -- Miles and miles of gypsum dunes.
Trinity Site -- Not too far from WSNM, visit by appointment only; see the birthplace of nuclear weapons. The inspiration for Kaboom cereal.
The Grand Canyon -- Well, if you like gashes like I do, that's the Queen of 'em all.
The Pyramids -- I bet they were hot stuff in their prime, 5k years ago.

Ancient Rome -- Fuckity, but even the ruins are awesome. Imagine that shit at full glory.
Damascus steel -- We still don't know exactly how it was made, but Hittari Hanzo steel was an imitator. Watered steel ftw. The riddle of steel. You hafta go to India to see the original smelters.
Okay, that's only 7. Sue me.

Not how it will be framed. I cannot live in a fascist state that oppresses women and is racist to boot!
Corporate has already set the climate. A person who takes up this offer likely gets promoted.

From that transcript: everybody says, "Biden, why do you keep insisting on trying to bring the country together?"
Oh, yeah; everybody says that. All the time.
Posted by: m at September 13, 2021 04:04 AM (SJbY/)
Oh, look! Biden being non-divisive again.
He can't help but talk in divisive terms.

I've watched some of those shows with divers exploring/researching aquifers in Florida. Crazy people, as far as I'm concerned.
