Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | We Are Kept Keen On The Grindstone Of Pain And ONTsGreetings, Deplorables! How's everybody doing? I've been trying to get my new optic mounted. I got it from a left wing weapons manufacturer, I'm trying to get a feel for their tech. Thursday Quiz RED ALERT! America Could Face A Beer Shortage Due To Mississippi Underground Volcano Gas Leak According to scientific experts, the United States is experiencing a CO2 shortage due to contamination that is showing up in CO2 being sourced from an extinct underground volcano in Mississippi.If there's one thing that would be sure to throw the country into chaos, it's running out of beer. Get them off of me! Scientists have calculated how many ants are on Earth. And it's a lot. The biomass of ants is greater than all birds and mammals combined. “It’s unimaginable,” Patrick Schultheiss, a lead author on the study who is now a researcher at the University of Würzburg in Germany, said in a Zoom interview. “We simply cannot imagine 20 quadrillion ants in one pile, for example. It just doesn’t work.”20 quadrillion. What's weird is that about half of them live in my yard. When we first moved to Texas, everybody kept apologizing about the heat. They should have apologized for the bugs. We've got ants everywhere. Not fire ants, fortunately, but the little sugar ants. And boy do they get angry if we're late with the rent. Idiots Out Walking Around No, not Iowa. New York City. My Morning With the Park Slope Panthers I swear, I thought I was a parody or a script for a pretty funny skit. Nope. The Post reported on the meeting too. Seems a resident of Park Slope attempted to start a neighborhood watch/Guardian Angel type group to combat the rise in crime in his neighborhood. The group—a few older, white women who love their pets; a young white man who said he was there for the sake of his younger sister’s safety; a forty-something Asian woman who wanted to “elevate Park Slope culture as a whole”—nodded along. There's more, so much more, but you'll have to follow the link to read it. I did come to a realization while reading, however. These people....they're Eloi. I mean to a fuckin' T. And the Morlocks are coming out to feed. Unexpectedly America's blackest city elected a Democratic Socialist mayor and there are problems It's not going well. Pronounced kuh-LEED kuh-MAH-oo, the mayor legally changed his name when he was 18, choosing to use all lowercase letters in the West African Yoruban tradition that prizes the community over the individual. Whereas the former mayor and most of the council members practice the incremental, integrationist, typically more moderate politics of Atlanta’s Black elite, kamau is much more radical — a gay, Christian, socialist, self-described “elected activist” and “Black nationalist,” a former film student, flight attendant, bus driver, Black Lives Matter organizer and city council member. As mayor, he has to this point, and to the constant consternation of his fellow Democratic South Fulton elected officials, stressed his slogans of “America’s Blackest City” and “Black on Purpose.” His goal, he has said, is to create here not only a “laboratory” for progressive policy but “a real-life Wakanda” The city council is trying desperately to save the city from his madness in a tense convening in which it felt like most of the onlookers on-hand were kamau supporters from the area’s Black activist community, the council effectively un-fired the city attorney — kamau could do what he did, according to the city charter, and the council also could do what it did — voiced strenuous support for the police department and its chief, stripped kamau of his duty as chair of this meeting and finally and unceremoniously instituted a vote of no confidence in the mayor.Running a city according to CRT doesn't work.

Constables are a mixed bag; I've known some personally who were great LEO's, as dedicated as any. On the other hand, a few years back almost the entire Dallas County Constable's office was arrested when it came out that they were rousting illegals and anyone else with a record hiding out - and instead of arresting them, they would steal all their shit including their cars, then sell it all through fences and pocket the money. What tipped people off was when it got to where everyone associated with that office had 2 or 3 brand new cars sitting in their driveways.

The process takes several weeks with some help from critters that breakdown corpses. I don't know what they do with bones. Costs about $5k and you get three bags of grannies best yard dust. Posted by: Winston, GOPe, not one dime, not one vote at September 22, 2022 10:21 PM (t0O2k) 98

75 Do they actually roast the coffin? Seems like a major waste of money. I figured they wrapped you in sheets, and tossed you in.
To be honest I've never followed anyone through the whole process. But I would imagine they either keep you in a box or have some sort of restraint system to keep bodies from bumping the burners.

Dmitry Medvedev makes explicit what happens after the annexation elections in Ukraine: Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said on Thursday that any weapons in Moscow's arsenal, including strategic nuclear weapons, could be used to defend territories annexed to Russia from Ukraine. Medvedev, who also serves as deputy chairman of Russia's Security Council, said that referendums planned by Russian-installed and separatist authorities in large swathes of Ukrainian territory will take place, and "there is no going back". "Therefore, various retired idiots with generals' stripes do not need to scare us with talk about a NATO strike on Crimea," Medvedev wrote on Telegram. "Hypersonic [missiles] are guaranteed to be able to reach targets in Europe and the United States much faster." Posted by: The ARC of History! at September 22, 2022 10:50 PM (I2/tG) 209

After the cremation process has finished, there are some pieces/parts that are not turned into ash yet. They rake out those parts and grind them up before they are put into the urn.
Do they separate the multiple skeletons or just mix them all together? Posted by: JackStraw at September 22, 2022 10:31 PM (ZLI7S) There was a policy for decades at the Oregon State Mental Hospital in Salem that all unclaimed remains of patients were to be cremated, and kept for possible reclamation. There was a basement vault that was used until the recent remodel. Per my dad, there was a rumor that the standard issue metal urn was not correct size for a certain portion of the population, and the extra amount was tipped away. Possibly on the lawns. A friend of mine was on a project to identify the remains of Vets, and have them interred at the Vets' cemetery if survivors could not be identified.

So a guy dies while sleeping with his mistress. Wife is shocked and upset, naturally, but somehow soldiers on making the funeral arrangements. The funeral director asks her to stop by as a problem with the casket has developed prior to tomorrow's viewing.
As discreetly as he can, the director informs the widow that her husband's enormous post-mortem erection is preventing the coffin lid from closing properly. She is momentarily taken aback, but then a strange looks comes over her face as she tells the director to cut off the appendage and shove it in his backside. At the viewing the next morning, the mourners all remarked at the flushed appearance of the dearly departed. As the widow bent over the open casket for a last kiss goodbye, she spotted what looked like a tear falling down his cheek. She smiled and whispered to her cheating husband, "Hurts, don't it!", and closed the coffin's lid. Posted by: Count de Monet at September 22, 2022 11:04 PM (4I/2K) 251

>>There was a policy for decades at the Oregon State Mental Hospital in Salem that all unclaimed remains of patients were to be cremated, and kept for possible reclamation. There was a basement vault that was used until the recent remodel.
My ex's family operated a small nursing home in MA. It was right around the corner from a mental institution and when the institutions were closed back in the day the patients were basically abandoned. Those who had family that cared about them took them back and those who didn't were just forgotten. They took two, a man and a woman, who were both older. Nobody came for them. They were given rooms in the nursing home and had menial "jobs" but were basically residents and lived very happily for the remainder of their lives. They became like family members, certainly more than their own families gave them. Nobody was happier for my ex when we got married than Eddie. It's pretty disgraceful how we treat some of the most unfortunate. Nobody should be unclaimed. Posted by: JackStraw at September 22, 2022 11:15 PM (ZLI7S) 274

Ok, serious question: has anyone here ever shopped around for a different electricity provider (in states that allow you to do this) and saved a significant amount on their power bill by doing so? Our local utility in downstate IL (Ameren) just had a huge jump in their electric rates and they say it's purely because their supplier jacked up the cost. They say they don't actually generate/produce power, they just “deliver” it. In IL and other states with a deregulated electric power market, customers can choose a different supplier if they want, and there are at least 15-20 suppliers available to choose from. I'm wondering if this is worth trying or if it just creates more problems.

Real numbers, real bills. Some were even worse. And a whole lotta those had to get paid, as they were true "cost-plus" contracts with the "providers". Ooops. Ooopsie! Laws as to those kind of contracts did change after the Big Freeze. And most all of those companies no longer exist, anymore. Know what did ruin the Texas grid, well before that freeze?

Uncomfortable fact (at least this was so in 197:
I used to work for the McDonalds corporation in Boston, and they took us on various trips to our vendors. This took place on the Mac Bus (a swanky bus with tables, nicely upholstered seats, and yes, a bar). During the trip to the Filet O Fish vendor, we discovered that there is a floating fish factory on the Atlantic. Fish was caught, immediately processed, frozen, and sliced. So quickly, in fact, that the fish fillets go through rigor mortis in the fryer, minutes before they are served to you. That's why they're sometimes warped instead of right angle rectangles.

Absolutely not. Main reason the country is where it is precisely because the GOP stands for nothing - that it means - and does little or nothing when given power.
With the support of their voters, of course. And this is the equivalent of saying absolutely nothing, as obviously and pathetically a focus-grouped (and poorly done) fake campaign agenda as one can imagine. They know nothing other than - let the election just come to us - and yet, as in 2010, there's some apparent felt need to do at least a head-fake towards an agenda. So we get this utterly bizarre vaccine thing *leading* their agenda, with a few laughably vapid platitudes about the economy and the "American dream" tossed in.

"Still playing well in Peoria."
Is it? Obviously they paid a fortune for surveys and focus groups that gave them this bizarre agenda item. But my impression is that the vaccine thing, like the whole C19, is dead, not going anywhere. Vaccine uptake has dropped off a cliff. And many of them were *wearing masks, outside*, during the publicity event. A significant portion of my despair and disbelief when Trump was removed wat that this complete derailment of science and society in 2020-etc would never be examined, the disastrous policies' failure documented, and a very searing public accounting held for it all. So that it would end, and never recur. Looks like the final nail in the coffin instead may be the GOP regaining some power. Posted by: rhomboid at September 23, 2022 12:12 AM (OTzUX) 375
Mixed bag in the Peon workshop today. My newly installed air line to the big shop bled down the tank on the compressor overnight. Went on a leak hunt. One flare connection wasn't properly tightened. A twist with two wrenches fixed that. And the hose plugged into the end of the new line had a leak. So I unplugged it. Holding good now.
Sorted about a a gallon and a half of mixed hardware from a bucket, into categories: nuts, bolts, washers, everything else. Freed up the bucket, and pushed the more detailed sort(s) down the road a bit. Painted the front sway bar for the Avanti, and later, installed it, or at least got part way into the process. It's hanging on its frame brackets, now. Also lubed a few grease fittings, and discovered why the speedometer does not work: the cable was laying against the exhaust pipe, got cooked, and seized up. Put the newly-painted rear sway bar into the dune buggy chassis. Did a load of laundry, and dried it on the line. Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at September 23, 2022 12:13 AM (8u4vn) 376

Posted by: Ciampino at September 23, 2022 12:19 AM (qfLjt) That sounds unlikely. One would expect the CO2 source formation to have considerable pressure, whereas a mine shaft would be at atmospheric pressure, plus a few psi to account for the depth of the shaft. Leakage would be into the mine shaft. I think most likely, they simply depleted the reservoir. Volcano is extinct; it's not making any more.

USNtakim, if you haven't been to NTC for a while, it's of course closed as you say, but has also become the best base-conversion of them all (last I saw). Not hard, when you have beautiful location near the harbor in San Diego, and beautiful early 20th century military post construction style (some variant of Spanish colonial I think, or Mission). But the company that did the conversion did their homework, and a beautiful job. I think they found that the original colors used up to WWII were a tannish brown, not the yellow you had at boot camp, and that I grew up around. (the old yellow paint can be seen in the Topgun scene where Maverick is morose after Goose's death, he's shaving or something, then jumps in a car out on the street) Just played the short par-3 course there with friends last week. Original base commander had it set up for character building, for officers. He/his wife are buried on the course. During the war, it was managed by Sam Snead, then in the USN.

The entire engineering is different, and it was hacked pretty bad. The top tree is completely smooth, no fork caps, and the tubes screw into the top tree. We had a huge pipe wrench on the tubes, and we couldn't get the tubes to turn. We said fuck it and just cut through the trees with a sawzall. The whole bike was built by an imbecile.

Another thing about the NTC conversion (now called Liberty Station - I tell visitors its an ironic tribute to a free country that once existed here) - in every building I've been in, they have great black/white photos of the space back in Navy days, many from WWII of course. So the market/food court has huge blow-ups of sailors working the bakery of the mess hall. The Trader Joe's has group and individual portraits of sailors, often graduation pics, all over the wall behind the cashiers.
There's Navy housing and a PX gas station on the western end, a Navy medical center, and a great series of small monuments to WWII submarines at the huge park towards the canal. It's one of my favorite places in town. The old swimming pool where I swam as a kid on a swim team, and played some high school water polo games, is gone - along with the platforms inside whose heights matched that of the decks from major classes of WWII warships (abandon ship training).

AOP, don't know, assume it's the standard thing - cross legs, hold arms in tight, tuck chin?
There was a set of standard NCAA/Olympic diving platforms alongside these other ones, which went much higher. Swim coach would make us jump off the top Navy one to end practice. The (wooden) ceiling was just above our heads. Water was so far away, it shimmered - scary to a kid. (and imagine - imagine - a coach doing that now!)

I thought this was kind of interesting....just give NY a little more time....from wiki
A portion of the book written for the New Review version, later published as a separate short story, reveals that a visit by the Time Traveller to the even more distant future results in his encountering rabbit-like hopping herbivores, apparently the descendants of the Eloi. They are described as being plantigrade, with longer hind legs and tailless, being covered with straight greyish hair that "thickened about the head into a Skye terrier's mane", having human-like hands (described as fore feet), and having a roundish head with a projecting forehead and forward-looking eyes that were obscured by lank hair. The Eloi are herded, bred and maintained by the Morlocks as a food source, much like cows or pigs are today. Posted by: computerguydave at September 23, 2022 01:16 AM (9dmN3) 436

Sadly much of San Diego's pre- and WWII Navy legacy has been lost. The Naval Supply Building, at the foot of Broadway across the street from Navy Pier (where the Midway carrier museum is permanently moored) just in the last year or so. There are so many great WWII photos of ships loading at the Navy or Broadway piers, with the building right there in the background.
The coastal artillery installations up on Pt. Loma are still mostly there, one observation bunker fully restored, talk of more restoration to come. And I'm not even sure if there's a marker at the city golf course at Torrey Pines, where they play the tournament every January, recounting the location's history as Camp Callan, a rare (for these parts) Army installation for anti-aircraft gunnery training.

Berserker. Betcha they swaged those top tree fittings. Sure sounds like it.
Posted by: Jim at September 23, 2022 01:20 AM (e6UQI) Well how it works is like this, the top tree is completely smooth, no stem nut, no fork tube caps. usually on the top of the tube you got the cap that keeps the spring in, and that slips up into the tree, and the top caps keep the tube up in the tree. Not this front end. the cap that keeps the spring in gets replaced, and it has external treads on it, and the tree is threaded internally, so you literally screw the tube into the top tree. The lower tree has no pinch bolt, it has a weird internal wedge lock, so when you tighten what looks like a pinch bolt is actually pulling the wedge up against the tube to lock it in the lower tree. There is a larger thread before the smaller wedge thread, and to release the wedge you screw a larger bolt in that acts like a press to push the wedge back to release it. The fork stem goes in from the bottom and that threads into the top tree. All of it was abused. It looks like they tried to remove the tubes without releasing the wedge and it grooved the shit out of the tubes. It was a mess.

Con Ed is my electric utility company. I was paying $65 a month based upon usage; any over or under amounts are put into the final yearly bill. Just got my new and improved monthly bill. It went from $65 a month to $98 a month. I don't use that much electricity as I live alone. I only keep lights on if I'm in a room. I have a computer. I have a tv. I have a microwave and a toaster oven. I have stand fans (no a/c) for the heat of summer. That's pretty much the extent of my use of electricity. My monthly bill still went up 50%.

Posted by: Ciampino at September 23, 2022 03:53 AM (qfLjt) Yep. Just love the propaganda though that everything is fine (Frank Drebin-style). As mentioned above, the reduced package size inflation, along with price per pound inflation, is killing me. Posted by: RickZ at September 23, 2022 03:58 AM (emlEe) 504

Built a wall-length bookshelf/storage thing for my office. Officially done. Huzzah. Posted by: Colonel Travis at September 23, 2022 04:00 AM (RG7Wy) 506

Do they actually roast the coffin? Seems like a major waste of money. I figured they wrapped you in sheets, and tossed you in.
As I understand it, it was the undertakers lobby that had a law passed to require a coffin. Posted by: Paladin at September 23, 2022 06:56 AM (qdFGL) 510
The Ant population story....anybody remember a Sci-Fi TV-movie, about a signal is detected from space. Scientist cannot decipher it, but noticed that ants, somewhere in the middle of Africa. Started building their anthills into towers that had a flute opening creating a tone. They set-up a monitoring station with one guy to observe them. And of course he starts a war with them. Don't recall how it ended. Must of been the id-70's.
