Absentee ONT
Howdy Horde! Time for your weekly Friday night meme madness. I hope I can get one of the other COBS to post this, because right now I'm on a plane headed for Newark, NJ. My wife got me a ticket to the Army/Navy game as an early Christmas present, I don't land until 10:30 ET. I'm pretty excited about going to the game, is there a better sporting event, no, a better AMERICAN event than Army/Navy? It's almost a bucket list event. Not up there with going to the moon or climbing Everest, but I'm still pretty stoked. The only downside is that my wife is an (shudder) Army gal. She has me sitting with a group of our friends who are also all Army pukes. She knitted them all Go Army hats, with their unit designations across the top. She also knitted me a Go Navy, Beat Army hat......in Army colors. Oy.

What kind of a half-assed toilet is this?
Know what's great about the internet? The way it allows random people to connect and just riff creatively off each other, like the video I posted last week that started with a cat drinking milk and ended up a full fledged song, or this exchange I saw on another message board
Right click and open in a new tab to embiggen
How truth is corrupted
#2 It was Everest
#3 They didn't refuse help, by the time they needed it nobody could get to them
#4 I haven't been able to find out what's being distorted here, the only reference to an “we're fine” message comes from the beginning of the climb
#5 What really happened is they got caught in a storm, no help could reach them because of the storm, and they died. An all male party would have died under the same circumstances.
#6 Yeah, so? Who will win?
Tonight's ONT has been brought to you by the Polish Combined Arms Army:

He can only do this once a week, or so. Maybe less. He says he's lost most of the feeling in his fingers. And lost his sense of taste. Memory's shot to hell too.
I pay him in cash. I can usually retrieve it once he stops smoldering. Well, and once the money is not smoking either.

My senior maintenance sergeant had that done. The troops harassed him mercilessly. "My cat came through fine" was the one that broke his back. I laughed my ass off when he sent them all down range to wash the launchers.

I have studied (and gamed) this a bit over the past several years. My conclusion is it's not about stopping them once they cross the border. It's about having the political will to kick them back out.
Russian Brigade Tactical Groups have a problem with logistics and regenerating combat power in a protracted fight.

With washers and dryers, do the settings really mean anything? Like, does it really matter if you turn the knobs to "colors" "casual" "whites" "cottons" or whatever?
Posted by: Theodore
Three-quarters of it is bullshit.
But yeah, the settings are for 3 variables:
-amount of water
-temp of water
-spin/extract speed
The dryer setting are for Temperature.

we talked about it a fair amount earlier today. To me, it looks like a kick-the-can decision, putting everything off until the Mississippi case is decided.
the interesting part was that Roberts wanted to kill it right now, and joined the 3 liberals in a dissent. Court watchers have been wondering for a year now whether this was going to turn into a 6-3 Court or a 5-4 Court. Some said a 3-3-3 Court. Well today it was a 5-4 Court, and now Roberts has a real interesting decision to make. If he sticks with the liberals, he effectively abdicates most of his authority as Chief Justice, and the new De Facto Chief Justice becomes Clarence Thomas. (the most senior conservative)
So how about it Roberts? Want to go down that road? Your choice!

Yeah, that one and the relaxation of self-defense laws hasn't happened yet. But post-Rittenhouse, well, some things may change. We might get the Lawyer Purge yet, but in our timeline there may be a City Council Purge instead, followed by the next elected/selected crew seeing the light. VIPs, celebrities, and Corporate heads already have the armed bodyguards, so they'd allow it too.

It is the Bangladesh study that followed approximately 4,300 individuals randomly assigned to no masks, paper masks, surgical masks and several types of cloth masks.
On completion of the study the actual numbers were not published and only provided percentages of success for the masked cohorts.
The difference between masked and unmasked, per calculation on the study data, was 20 cases total

I looked at some of those for our new construction. In the end, I settled on a wire section with stripped ends, a multimeter, one of those proximity voltage detectors, and one of those outlet testers. I'll need to borrow one of those wire tracers, however, because FiL buried an outlet box behind drywall.

There are no properly conducted studies showing that masks worn by the general public prevent the spread of Covid. There is rampant speculation, and a weird non-existent principle of scientific transference (masks stop small particles, viruses are small, therefore masks will stop covid).

Most of the tornadoes hit small towns which are out of communication right now and the one that hit Monette appears to be a supercell tornado going for miles into SE Mo and then KY.

1) A lot of the more overt Christian references were removed from the movies.
2) The Catholicism in the books is woven throughout the backstory more than its explicitly portrayed in the books themselves, so it's not always evident (unless you know what to look for). It's a lot more subtle than the overt Christian overtones of The Chronicles of Narnia.

Nothing moved except for my Ramcharger because I had chains on all 4 wheels, the ones with the "v" in the cross links. I wound up being transportation for stranded people needing medical attention.

If no basement, head for the interior room with no windows that is furthest from the exterior. Best to get something to cover heads, pillows, mattresses, etc. Head injuries are one of the most prevalent causes of fatalities in windstorms.
If in basement, get to the deepest corner under ground and away from windows. Similar advice about protecting head.

Sentai Filmworks has a Christmas sale and I just nabbed some anime. On top of a bunch of shot I ordered from Rightstuf. Very little of which I'll ever have the time to watch.
Somebody stop me. Send Anna to come take away my card, grab my wrists and hit me with my own hands if I even look at an anime site.
But I got a giant robot action series (Sakura Wars) what looks like a very nice romance with a decent hook and excellent character designs (After The Rain) and a horror series that seems to involve children brutally and sadistically murdering the shit out of each other (When They Cry).
Good stuff. Can't wait.

I vaguely recall Moses conversing face-to-face with the Almighty, but then at a later point not being able to gaze fully upon Him. Setting aside the possibility translation issues and the possibility that I am misrembering to one degree or another, it's all very intriguing.

Excellent! I hope you are enjoying the films. Being an uber Tolkien nerd I watch the extended editions whenever possible. Tolkien had a great deal of Biblical inspiration, and he put his faith into a story of Good overcoming Evil through faith in humble rejection of the pleasures and desires of the sinful world. But there's nothing as really overt as the Narnia stories.

But I got a giant robot action series (Sakura Wars) what looks like a very nice romance with a decent hook and excellent character designs (After The Rain) and a horror series that seems to involve children brutally and sadistically murdering the shit out of each other (When They Cry).
====
I can vouch for Sakura Wars and After the Rain. Sakura Wars is an older one, but it's a fun story and not the typical mecha anime. Stylized but fun. After The Rain is a sensitive and subtle story about first love and overcoming a life obstacle to become a better person. It was one of my favorite anime for the year it was broadcast.

That's probably part of it, for sure. I just read a book where the main characters were genetically engineered to live within a neutron star (it's a weird book). They were created in the image of the Ur-humans (us) more or less. But they find us as their Creators to be very strange and bizarre because we come from a very different environment from the one in which they live.

We don't know what exactly the prophets having those visions saw. There are things seen in vision in the Bible that sound strange at first glance. But when you sit down and carefully examine what words the writer is using, you realize that the description could fit with something from our own era that the prophet would have never seen before, and would have struggled to describe using the words he had available to him.
It's possible that if you did actually see the heavenly beings that are described in a fashion like the six-winged being above, you would smack yourself on the forehead, and say, "Of course! I should have realized that's what that prophet was writing about!"

The hook sounded pretty decent. But then I just watched a very brief trailer and...ya know, I'm terribly cynical. A lot of shows come and go and 90% of them seem to be the same shitty tropes and none of it seems memorable. But I saw a little clip and I got the feeling this might very well be special.

From what I can tell, there are several different groups of angels (often referred to as "choirs"). The ones that are the highest ranking and closest to God are the most bizarre. The ones that are lower ranking and closer to humanity appear to be mostly like us. These are the ones often used as messengers from God.

Try a mint, un-issued USN grey, woolen blanket. Soft as a baby's receiving blankie.
Summertime, you'd just pull enough over your hips n' torso to be "under". Keep your core at an ideal temp, let excess heat radiate out through feet and scalp. You'll be jusssst rigggghhttt.

Before full Reclination-
It is causing KRAZY in real estate in South Carolina too.
Buy? Sell? Buy/Sell?
Fine. We'll take the damn Yankee money with a smile. Every time New yawk puts on a new rule, real estate down here goes up. REPARATIONS

That makes sense... Tax avoidance. Perfect. Grandma was VERY conservative, very frugal.
Plus: She lived in the cold North, so didn't need to cut it in two.

I don't think I've seen such since the Xenia, OH bursts, what, forty, fifty years ago?
More thoughts, tomorrow afternoon, evening. There's something Biblical, nigh unto judgmental, 'bout all this.

Some Rat, that's why people use sheets! A layer of softness between you and the scratchy wool.

You have to have the flannel sheets. The wife started using them a few years back, and its amazing how much less blanket you actually need with them.

Speaking of buttholes, that Hochul harpie makes mine squinch up tight enough to bite off a 16 d nail. Maybe even a 20d.

I see my cuz the retarded/retired weatherman says we've got a bit of a chance of some storms tomorrow in the 4 - 8pm time frame. He's not too worried, but sees a chance of some booming around.

They're great when they're great, but CRAP when they're cheap crap.
Find a soft, SOFT surplus USN grey woolie. You'll be surprised. Fair warning though. One blanket per person. They're sized for a .mil full sized bed only, nothing larger.

Plug a TV or radio into the receptacle, crank up the volume until you can hear it at the breaker box, flip breakers off until the sound stops, you're done.

Or get a cheap breaker tracer. Little plug in transmitter puts a signal on the wire. Probe will find the breaker.
Cheap 120V -only ones can be had for $40.

Just spent an hour fleeing a tornado, sitting in our little town's emergency shelter while it passed and now return home.
In the immortal words of my late father, "that was some shit."
Really gets the blood pumping. I need a fucking drink...

That reminds me of something that happened many moons ago at the local Baptist church of which I'm sort of supposed to be attached.
Prayer meeting one Wed. night, followed by choir practice, SOP for the week. Tornado warning comes in during the service. Wind is picking up, driving rain, and lots of lightning. They decide they'd best all go to the basement.
They get down there all huddled together. Now, I forget what happened exactly. Wind may have blown down a big tree limb behind, or maybe it was lighting struck nearby. Made a big boom.
They got to praying big time in the basement. It was indeed a prayer meeting.

No bueno if you have no outlet. Breaker tracer would work, though they get mixed reviews.
