The Quotes of The Day

Quote I
"I've never wanted to be a mother, so I've always sort of had this running list inside my head of reasons I didn't want to have a baby or kids in general. Abigail – known as z00mie

Quote II
“I realize that this may be hard for some to forgive but I ask that you look at my 9+ years of public service and not just this one terrible decision." Upper Darby Mayor Barbarann Keffer

Quote III
Yes. And I’m an athlete. And you’re asking me about things that maybe somebody says are in my control. But I don’t believe that. So I don’t know what you want me to answer. And if it’s a provocative question, then, you know, you can spin the story however you want. Victoria Azarenka

I saw this yesterday at a different site and didn't post last night. So tonight I will. Your apology is too little and too late.

In no less a liberal rag than Newsweek, Kevin Bass (MS MD/PHD Student, Medical School) has penned a quite surprising (and 'brave') op-ed saying that "it's time for the scientific community to admit we were wrong about COVID and it cost lives..."
[ZH: emphasis ours]
As a medical student and researcher, I staunchly supported the efforts of the public health authorities when it came to COVID-19.
I believed that the authorities responded to the largest public health crisis of our lives with compassion, diligence, and scientific expertise. I was with them when they called for lockdowns, vaccines, and boosters.
I was wrong. We in the scientific community were wrong. And it cost lives.
I can see now that the scientific community from the CDC to the WHO to the FDA and their representatives, repeatedly overstated the evidence and misled the public about its own views and policies, including on natural vs. artificial immunity, school closures and disease transmission, aerosol spread, mask mandates, and vaccine effectiveness and safety, especially among the young. All of these were scientific mistakes at the time, not in hindsight. Amazingly, some of these obfuscations continue to the present day.

What could have been a cash cow for the State of California isn't. Regulations and taxes are slowly killing the pot biz there.

Jerry Garcia is one of the most iconic pot smokers in California history. Born in San Francisco, Garcia led the Grateful Dead for 30 years as the city became an international beacon of counterculture, and he did it all while casually and openly smoking weed. His pot pipe is considered an artifact of California cannabis history.
But even the iconic Jerry Garcia name couldn’t survive California’s turbulent legal pot market.

What do the rich and affluent say in a moment's notice? Not in my backyard!

NBA superstar Stephen Curry, who publicly endorsed Joe Biden for president in 2020, is opposing a "low-income" housing development near his $30 million mansion, according to a local news report.
"We hesitate to add to the 'not in our backyard' (literally) rhetoric, but we wanted to send a note before today's meeting. Safety and privacy for us and our kids continues to be our top priority and one of the biggest reasons we chose Atherton as home," Steph and his wife, Ayesha Curry, wrote in a letter to officials in Atherton.
It was an attempt by Steph Curry, who was the fifth highest-paid athlete in the world last year, according to Forbes, to prevent undesirables from crowding the area around his home in Atherton, California.

Perhaps they violated the rules. But then again, 'educators' have never been known to have a deep sense of humor.

High School Students DoorDash Lunch to School, Get Sent to Admin’s Office in Viral TikTok
If Fast Times at Ridgemont High was filmed today, a scene very much like the one captured in this viral TikTok would probably appear in the movie.
And while these girls probably didn't have to do as much pre-planning as Jeff Spicoli did in order to get that pizza pie delivered to his classroom, they still seem to have angered school admins as much as their movie counterparts.

Elections have consequences. The consequence for my neighbors in Minnesota will be really fvcking cold winters. As I write this it is 5F in Minneapolis with an expectant low of -9. And the MN legislature wants to ban coal, oil and gas.

BLACKOUT bill: Minnesota lawmakers pass legislation banning use of coal, oil and gas for state’s electricity grid
(Natural News) The Minnesota House of Representatives on Thursday, Jan. 26, passed a Democrat-sponsored bill banning the use of coal, oil and gas for the state’s electricity grid. The legislation is going to require the state’s electricity grid to be 100 percent carbon-free in 17 years.
This coincided with President Joe Biden banning mining in the Iron Range, a Democrat-dominated working-class area in northeastern Minnesota. Republicans argued that the unrealistic timeline could endanger the lives of the citizens of the state if it fails while causing their electricity prices to soar.
GOP lawmakers were unsuccessful in proposing several amendments to the bill, including lifting the state’s moratorium on new nuclear power plants, allowing for the use of carbon sequestration technologies and delaying the standard to consider its impact on child and slave labor in the green energy supply chain.

I'm hope I'm around in 17 years to laugh uncontrollably at them and say, I told you so.

This HOA block party could be a real riot.

A pensioner keyed his new neighbour’s £60,000 car after getting into a row with him over a resident’s association.
Keith Ardley, 75, told Marius Crisan, 40, to ‘pipe down’ just weeks after he moved into the block of flats in Bournemouth, as he tried to set up a group with locals.
The row between Mr Ardley and Mr Crisan then escalated, as the retired council IT worker, 75, decided to damage his neighbour’s expensive car in January last year.
Mr Ardley – who has lived in the flats for 40 years with his wife Elizabeth, was caught on CCTV using a key to make three lines damaging Mr Crisan’s new car.

Bathtub burglar: Man breaks into home, takes fully-clothed bath

‘Thousands of Men Have Come Home Because of Him’ - Johnie Webb has spent nearly half a century spearheading the search for those missing in action from America’s wars. Now, he’s finally getting his own homecoming. Tonight's Feel Good Story of The Day.

DENVER — If you are a close relative of a soldier, or a sailor, or a Marine, or a pilot who is still missing in action, there’s a good chance you’ve sat across a table from a tall, mustachioed man with a light Texas drawl looking for answers.
At the first such meeting, he would more than likely have soberly recounted the circumstances of your loved one’s disappearance in battle. He would have cautioned you about the numerous obstacles to locating your relative’s remains — the passage of time, the perilous terrain, the lack of records, uncooperative foreign governments, or an apartment block now standing where the battle or plane crash happened. But he would also have assured you that every possible lead was being pursued to try to solve the cold case of your missing father or brother or uncle.

8 We've known the clot shot doesn't stop you from getting or spreading COVID since shortly after it was introduced.

And yet somehow we are still having argument about clot shot mandates based on the clot shot making it impossible to get or spread COVID.

Which tells you the mandates and the drive to inject everyone with the clot shot have nothing to do with COVID.

21 As a medical student and researcher, I staunchly supported the efforts of the public health authorities when it came to COVID-19.

To answer Scott Adams about COVID, part of the reason I knew it was all lies is that the people I was being told to trust had made a career of lying...and in every case I could put their statements on COVID to the test they were lying again.

So it would have been insane or stupid to believe them about the things I couldn't get independent verification of yet.

There is no compassion, diligence, or expertise when the powers that be call for lockdowns, vaccines, and boosters.

Fuck this author, and those like him. Fuck his "my bad". He's no different than a Nuremberg defendant trying to explain away what he did. Or, a doctor in a hypothetical argument about how his expertise trumps a parents authority over their child.

I think God has been merciful when implanting into the human psyche the notion of "The Good Old Days", where everything seems better the more distance it has from today.

It even allows these monsters who hectored, kicked out of businesses, jailed, beat-up, sent to quarantine camps, took children from parents, kicked people off organ donation lists, fired, canceled, thrown off aircraft, denied weddings, funerals and death-bed attendance, demanded execution of the unvaxxed, and proposed social credit and vax passports for even the bare minimum in social participation to act like nothing really happened and it was all just an uncomfortable dream.

That'll work great.

In 2018, MN solar farms hit 29.7% of their rated capacity. In July.

And 5.6% in December. Little enough that's is not economically feasible to sweep the snow off of them.

That's from https://tinyurl.com/2s3dynus

Let's put the state capitol and related buildings on all-solar for a few years first, as a trial run. The governor's mansion, too. And including the prison system could reduce recidivism by a lot.....

Well, the adjoining States, and the Canadian Province of Manitoba, which adjoins Minnesota, should take this opportunity to turn the screws on Minnesota by charging double for "green" electricity. Just because buying anything solely because it purports to be "green" is fucking stupid. And the fucking stupid should fucking pay for it.

77 From earlier: a while back Bill Gates said something to the effect that he got in good with Jeffrey Epstein because he was influential and he needed that influence to build his corporate empire. I actually think that Gates, dork that he is, might have been telling the truth. Of course, the obvious next questions are from whom does this influence flow and why is it needed in order to be successful in late 20th, early 21st century business.

I have heard rumors that people would occasionally ask such dangerous questions in the 90s, but were discouraged from further pursuit by the shadow of spooky G-man types that seems to follow Epstein around. Makes me wonder all the more what could have been if the Western institutions didn't start eating their young as soon as the Cold War started winding down.

Republicans argued that the unrealistic timeline could endanger the lives of the citizens of the state if it fails while causing their electricity prices to soar."

I guess the Dems are completely done with unions other than teachers and gub'mint employees. But when will the union workers be done with the Dems? Of course it would help if the GOPe didn't have the stance of "we don't want working class, we'd rather keep chasing after the wine moms"

Well, unless it gets even worse, I'd feel comfortable driving her to work BUT, give yourself at least double the normal drive time.

6" for fishing on, over a foot for driving on, more if you've got a big SUV and not a baby pickup truck. And most ice augers are good to 3+ feet.

Leaving some safety factor on the low end, since falling through the ice isn't healthy. And you can get extension pieces to add to the auger's shaft if you're hardcore, or Canadian.

109 Bass' apology is better than nothing, to be sure. A lot better than anything we'll ever get out of Fauci or Birx.

But he's only addressed part of the travesty. It's not just that such people used their power wrongly, but that they never should have had that power in the first place. Presumably he thinks that if TPTB had been more or less accurate in their predictions about Covid, everything they've done and continue to do would have been justified.

This sort of thing will go on as long as we continue to enshrine technocrats with godlike authority, because "well, they're experts, they would know." They don't know, they're as prone to abuse of power as any elected politician, and it's past time more people realize that.

Betcha NOT. They're airfoils, same as an airplane wing. Which don't properly generate lift when coated with as little as 1/8th in. of ice.

An iced up turbine blade would not only lack the aerodynamics to convert wind into motion, but in ice-storm conditions, wind is most often... absent. Further, the ice won't be evenly distributed across all three blades. Ever see the videos of an imbalanced wind-turbine tearing itself apart, spinning and shedding parts and exploding into flame?

I'll bet that the utilities have issued the computer command "apply brakes to 0 RPM', to each and every turbine in the ice-zone.

137 To be honest, a lot of people are having issues coming to terms with what happened during the COVID op. Many gladly went and got vaccinated thinking it "was the right thing to do." Some, perhaps a minority of those are now realizing they're fucked. They're bitter. Understandably so. Doesn't mean I agree.

We're already seeing the narrative shift to "you unvaxxed should have told us." "Blood on your hands."

It's all bullshit of course, but not unexpected. Fuck them.

206 If Bud Abbott hadn't let them shut down the coal fired plants Texas would be a frying pan right now.

That is complicated.

There is a triangle of "brown coal" aka lignite between Dallas, Houston and Austin where Alcoa would dig for aluminum and need huge energy to process it, so the aluminum and the lignite were proximate.

Those three cities were threatened by the EPA to have to suffer sanctions if their air quality in their respective cities exceeded a certain arbitrary threshold. Naturally, it was politically expedient to sue the far away lignite coal operators than it would be to regulate the heck out of their cities or do the proper thing and tell the EPA to fuck right off.

Alcoa said "screw it" and took their mining operations out and shut down the coal plants - thereby removing a very viable emergency capacity for heatwaves or deep freezes.

220 138 To be honest, a lot of people are having issues coming to terms with what happened during the COVID op. Many gladly went and got vaccinated thinking it "was the right thing to do." Some, perhaps a minority of those are now realizing they're fucked. They're bitter. Understandably so. Doesn't mean I agree.

We're already seeing the narrative shift to "you unvaxxed should have told us." "Blood on your hands."

It's all bullshit of course, but not unexpected. Fuck them.

The history of all of those recent fuckups indicates the afflicted have two choices--vengeance or try to fix the shambles left after the catastrophe.

As for me, I prefer mercy and forgiveness for those of the rank and file that believed authority when they should not have. Can't say that for the leaders like Fauci though that created the monster and ignored all safety protocols to produce the vaxx.

"An American In Paris" is still a pretty great movie, though Leslie Caron looks like she's 14 years old.

"Jurassic Park" proves that Steven Spielberg knows how to frame and pace a movie. I'd like to see "The Fablemans" just because David Lynch is in it. I bet David Lynch could make a movie where the horizon is in the center of the frame, and it would be awesome.

Not to mention the tens of thousands of birds these bird choppers kill every year.
Leftist guvs in WA have been building these bird killers for nearly 20 years now. When some bird lovers saw how many birds were dead underneath the turbines, they took pics and collected many of the dead birds, thinking they could go to the local TV and newspapers for outrage. The state passed a law saying it was illegal to go near the bird choppers. They did nothing, and the leftist news outlets ignored them.
Most importantly, they are inefficient, ineffective, and simply don't generate much output for all the expense.
But hey, lefties are gonna leftie. And entire local colonies of birds are gonna die.

232 Only chumps buy the legal shit. It costs twice as much as the black market stuff with half the potency. Legalization was the best thing that ever happened to the underground dealers.

The collapse was inevitable. Due to regulations, it is costly to grow legal dope because of the security requirements (the legal growers couldn't just handle security like cartels can), so the idea was to cultivate more THC per square meter which has the side-effect of reducing the volume of dope which a person buys to get a certain level of high.

All of this takes skillz in biology/botany and grads who specialized in discovering and growing low maintenance, high potency dope found that the cartels would pay handsomely for that skillset.

So thank the UC education system for providing cartels with more expertise.

Only memorable thing close to an apology was by Baldur von Schirach, Hitler youth chief and Gauleiter of Vienna. Actually a pretty interesting statement. It's even possible he meant some of it. His wife was not down with the program, offended You Know Who at Berchtesgaden (where they were regular guests), and they were socially excluded thereafter.

He was related to not one, but two, signers of the Declaration of Independence. Surely one of the most bizarre trivia factoids of WWII. He wasn't executed.

287 “The Air Force left no ambiguity when they said, ‘The proposed project presents a significant threat to national security with both near- and long-term risks of significant impacts to our operations in the area,’” said Senator Kevin Cramer, R-North Dakota.

- Very good news, although the location was a security concern from the start. The selling of land to the Chinese mere miles from an air force base and drone industry was absurd .

There will ALWAYS be followers who will go along. Nazis, China, Russia, Cambodia. They exist everywhere in every place. You cannot kill them all. In a way, they cannot help it. They can be held in contempt but anything else is ... pointless.

On the other hand, the leaders? THAT is a different story. Their fate can be a warning to the followers.

Don't ban EV's. Just enact a law that requires EV owners to pay a ten cent per mile road tax, so that they pay their fair share of the cost of road maintenance. In-State EV owners must report odometer readings annually, when they renew their tags, and pay up upon renewal. Out of state EV's visiting or transiting get dinged at the charging station.

Garrett,
A rough rule of thumb of total wars in the past is that you have to kill somewhere about 30-50 percent of the males in their peak productive years for a society to reset.

Old Testament, they often slaughtered all their opponents including women and children.

I think from the statistics that those that got the vaxx are already aware that a) they don't work and b) they might die from the vaxx and not from covid.
Realistically, that is punishment enough for the rank and file just as it often is for the survivors of total wars.

So what is your plan asb? Kill them all and let the Lord sort them out?

Allied leaders including Stalin and to some degree FDR considered the Morgenthau plan to deindustrialize Germany post WWII. The estimates were that millions would die in that case. They were stopped by Churchill and Allied generals who counseled the cost of this vengeance would greatly exceed the benefit of it.

How do you resolve where the wife had the children vaccinated but the father did not get it and opposed it. How do you resolve grandparents not being able to see their grandchildren if not vaxxed? Or doctors/nurses that had to get vaxxed to keep their jobs, ad infinitum.

Justice dictates that the response be proportional to the PERSONAL harm that you receive which reduces the scope of available punishments. And that sets the stage for it to be applied in all large policy decisions.

A few months of level bombing of North Vietnam would have ended the conflict. And we know this because members of the NV leadership have said so.

And this isn't a surprise - why should the leadership of North Vietnam care if you kill some of their grunts or fellow travelers from South Vietnam? They'll literally make more.

But destroying the country they are ruling? That is a much higher price...

Posted by: Kindltot

Eh, you made your argument that you suffered from bad policy decisions and demand retribution from those that made and supported such. I pointed out that under that rationale, you would make all people collectively responsible that supported a bad policy.

Vaxx is not a special case and the followers that did it most religiously are likely to suffer the greatest harm from it. But the general argument is that collectively those that support bad government policies that kill, maim, destroy economies, etc. should be punished along with the leaders promoting such.

You argued false equivalence and I reject that characterization nor do I consider the kit and kaboodle of bad government policy stemming from 9/11 and its deleterious effects on the public any different than that of the vaxx. The vaxx debacle is obvious and actually seems to be punishing its own true believers the most--the 9/11 is punishing mainly innocents that did not intend for gubmint to go this far.

This is part what Mr. Bass wrote of those "critics". Most of the rest of what he writes talks about the consequences of the establishment's lockdown and censorship actions, without saying once the words 'they were right.'

For me, this pretty much invalidates what this guy wrote. Yes, mistakes were made. Yes, there were catastrophic consequences. However, I don't read any sign (yet) of this guy getting any sort of humility about how we were RIGHT and they were WRONG.

His call for including the dissenting voices, for now, reads to me like a call to let us say our peace, and then ignore us anyway the next time.

Depending on who you believe, something like 68 percent of the public got at least one shot. Numbers drop as additional shots of vaxx are added up and now appear to be at a very low level for the latest boosters. Probably a bare majority have now decided that bans, etc. were overwrought and that number will increase over time.

It is a fair question, albeit I used a rhetorical trick, to understand just what penalty you plan for average people not in authority that got the vaxx. Fines? Lawsuits against the government for coerced vaxx? Jail time? One commenter upstream discussed punishing all of the supporters (vaguely defined) for being fascists, you suggested that they are the sort to deny you your rights, and so on.

So what is the punishment to be? And under what justification--survivor or victor's justice as was Nuremberg type trials? It is always so easy to slide into righteous indignation for wrongs committed by a majority just as it is for wrongs committed by a minority that either can commit injustice to the other without blinking an eye.

422 It is a fair question, albeit I used a rhetorical trick, to understand just what penalty you plan for average people not in authority that got the vaxx. Fines? Lawsuits against the government for coerced vaxx? Jail time? One commenter upstream discussed punishing all of the supporters (vaguely defined) for being fascists, you suggested that they are the sort to deny you your rights, and so on.

So what is the punishment to be? And under what justification--survivor or victor's justice as was Nuremberg type trials? It is always so easy to slide into righteous indignation for wrongs committed by a majority just as it is for wrongs committed by a minority that either can commit injustice to the other without blinking an eye.
Posted by: whig at February 01, 2023 12:03 AM (Satr0)

I don't think anyone here is suggesting that we punish "average people, not in authority" who got the vaxx. They are the victims, FFS. And if they got their kids vaxxed, they did it because they were stampeded into it by the real malefactors.

Punish the ones who were in authority. And particularly those who were in authority, and did wrong, knowing that they were doing wrong.

It's worth noting that the article we're responding to tonight was written by a medical student, so the particular bunch some of us are saying "No you need punishment" are those in the medical industry, pharma in particular, as well as government personnel who promoted or enforced progressive superstitions surrounding covid.

Whig's probably right that the general population (and the woke freaks in particular) have enough coming their way in terms of consequences from being jabbed and double boosted, that we don't need to pile on.

If we had reliable elections, those consequences would probably solve a lot of going concerns, if things otherwise hold together for a couple of decades.

Posted by: LinusVanPelt

That's not the Pareto principle I'm aware of. At least in reference to the term "Pareto efficient solution", that is where you get to a solution (like a negotiation) where no one can get to a better position without someone else becoming worse off.

Two things named for the same guy, Vilfredo Pareto. The 80/20 rule is the "Pareto Principle."

503 I came across one a couple of years ago, sliding window from maybe '64 or '65 Tried to find the owner. Didn't find him, but a couple weeks later, saw it driving down the street again and it stopped at a repair place. Called the shop and asked the owner to find out if it was for sale. Never called back. Posted by: OrangeEnt

I saw my furture 71 going down the highway with a for sale sign in the window. I followed the guy home and offered to buy it. It even came with a fiberglass boat. He was selling it because his wife and daughters refused to be seen in it. Years and years later I sold it to a guy in Alabama who got my number from my dad, who at the time was driving it and happened to stop at a phone booth to make a phone call. Scouts are like that.

504 Can we lament the late great TR-8.

That car could have saved them. I’d like to have one. I think.
Posted by: Pete Bog at February 01, 2023 12:32 AM (/yVB

TR-8 was a TR-7 fitted with the Leyland/Rover aluminum V8 which they bought from General Motors, and improved upon. I think Land Rover still uses a variant of it.

Back in 1980-something, a friend had a TR-7 with a 5-speed. Transmission piled up because its internal oil pump had failed. Trust the Brits to build a manual transmission that needs an internal oil pump. New transmission was north of two thousand dollars. He bought a used Mazda RX-7 engine, imported from Japan, for about $800. I installed it. Took some doing, too. But you know something? Every electrical widget on that engine mated up to a harness in the car! Oil level indicator light? There it was, and it worked. Coolant level light? It worked. Almost like Triumph had intended to fit the car with a rotary engine, and then chickened out at the last minute. That car was fun. We couldn't fit the Mazda thermal reactor due to frame clearance issues, so we had a set of tube headers made. The car sounded like two chain saws flying in formation.

Sorry was taking care of family business. Basically, one has to rebuild society from the ground up--education, alternative media not Conservative corporate media, perhaps a new party, perhaps not, encouraging state and local leaders to ignore unconstitutional actions by national actors and to challenge such in court and via actions like DeSantis is doing in Florida.

The left has done great damage to the organic society by damaging and compromising institutions like churches, schools, universities, the military, professional schools like med or law, and so on. The easiest and low hanging fruit is to build our own and exclude the left from them. Homeschool, build small churches with no profit for parasites to plunder, make oneself resilient economically and support others in that endeavor, etc.

Posted by: Sebastian Melmoth

Time is too short for a dissertation but the 4th Amendment (and arguably to detainees, the 5th and 6th Amendments). One of the reasons that the Gitmo folks have not been prosecuted is that has the potential to either add bad emergency provisions to the Bill of Rights via Scotus or Scotus throws out the convictions.

The Civil War did quite a bit of damage to the concept of Congress controlling hostilities rather than the executive.

Never cultivated the stuff but read a lot of Washington and Jefferson writing to each other about farm topics along with a lot of history about Tobacco Road area. I do know tobacco exhausts the soil and requires a warm humid climate during summer but a cold winter to grow but is susceptible to some insects and fungi. Tobacco mosaic fungus was one such plague that killed a lot of it in the SE.

Forget what plant the South used as ersatz tobacco during the Civil War. Acorns were used for flour for baking and roasted acorns that were ground up for coffee.

Amish practice an agriculture unknown to most people today and it integrates soil management techniques from livestock and crop rotation into the mix.

Hard to do if you are an individual--much easier as a part of a farming community and yes, without mechanical help, tobacco growing does require labor and drying sheds (if traditional versus force air kilns if not). Pot is so easy to grow (not the highest quality though) that even inveterate potheads can do it.

639 My elder gramp grew up on a dairy farm. He had a wife and four children - they never wanted for food.
On less than three acres, two really, he had a milk cow, geese, chickens, and a garden. Trees, fig, quats, others I don't remember. Maybe other things.

Point of the missive is, if you know what you are doing a lot of food can be produced on a small area of land.
Of course, he didn't have to deal with marauders coming to kill and steal.

Have no idea about today but back then, tobacco permits were allotted as well as peanut cultivation and woe betide anyone that grew it without an allotment. I remember seeing tobacco drying sheds in rural Virginia and Kentucky passing through those states as a kid traveller.

Think now that wood from those sheds is being reclaimed for fancy house accent walls and such.

641 Hard to do if you are an individual--much easier as a part of a farming community and yes, without mechanical help, tobacco growing does require labor and drying sheds (if traditional versus force air kilns if not). Pot is so easy to grow (not the highest quality though) that even inveterate potheads can do it.

"Connecticut Shade" tobacco, is the priciest stuff out there, as it forms the outer wrapper (gotta be cosmetically PERFECT) for most all of the Premium cigars out there.

Check out the Diamond Crown series from Arturo Fuente, and a huge amount of the lighter hued sticks from Davidoff. And then check out their prices.

That wrapper leaf is a HUGE part of that price. Then, so is the huge skills of their rollers and Q.C. process. You buy a box of Davidoff, and thats as close to an Industry Guarantee that all 25 in the box will be perfect, and each the same as the next.

Items such as the Hilux from Toyota, and analogs from Nissan, Isuzu, etc., are popular in Africa and Asia. Such small trucks are particularly popular with artisans. Cheaper than cars, they often were the first vehicle purchased. In South Africa they are called 'bakkies' or 'bakkie' singular. With a 50mm bolted on the back they are favorites of Third World militias and other terrorists.

707 My mother, her sister and brother (God rest 'em), although of northern Euro stock, had a great tanning propensity. Uncle also had short, wiry, one might say nappy hair. One summer, they were actually refused service somewhere 'way back in the when.

709 I think I'll kick off Black History Month on my Substack account I just opened.

I wonder what I should write about...

Brown bag test?
Being a mutt in a world where skin color matters more than content of character?
Pissing off everybody?

Yeah, but not too bad.

Hubby was able to go to work, and our county and the one next to us do a fine job in salting/sanding the main roads.

712 Daughter and the g-daughters are pretty much still iced in where they live in the Ozarks.

Hopefully, we'll be able to make the drive to see them this weekend, if the roads aren't still slick where they live.

Just gonna leave this here:

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

717 SMH. I was a Mexiroon for my 16th birthday, 1st driver's license.

Seriously. I was darker than all but the most Aztec mestizo to be found, and they were damn few in '76 Southern CA.

Sun had baked my hair to a full 'fro, but it was a sun-bleached blonde, not convincing as the Real Thing.

I went into USAF Basic Training in this condition, understand. The New Yawk blackrifcans didn't quite know what to make of me, there? Some hated me, some figured I was OK. Pretty much same as today.

First USAF g/f though, was a 5 ft. even bit of the sweetest, blackest, smartest and hottest 'ette, EVER. PIty, she went thatawy for training, and I went thatway the opposite. THAT is when I got ALL the hate from the brothers in the Squadron. ALL. of the HATE. (they wanted her, I had her, they couldn't have her!) HA!

She n' I never "did the deed". Close, but circumstances declared not. Otherwise? We'll never know.

Jewish reparations are at wholesale. I know you wanted retail, but you're lucky the prices weren't bid at manufacturers' lot at the loading dock.

Oy Vey!

725 "Elections have consequences. The consequence for my neighbors in Minnesota will be really fvcking cold winters. As I write this it is 5F in Minneapolis with an expectant low of -9. And the MN legislature wants to ban coal, oil and gas."

The link has already been blacked out - HAHAHAHAHAHA

Yes, I will be gone from Minnesota far before 17 years.

726 I am making $100 an hour working from home. I never imagined that it was honest to goodness yet my closest companion is earning $16,000 a month by working on a laptop, that was truly astounding for me, she prescribed for me to attempt it simply. Everybody must try this job now by just using this website.. www.Payathome7.com

727 "The consequence for my neighbors in Minnesota will be really fvcking cold winters."

If Minnesotans are your neighbors, then their shenanigans likely mean trouble for you, too. They're not just affecting Minnesotans.

Minnesota is part of a pool of energy generators called the Midcontinent Independent System Operators. This decision affects energy customers in all of North Dakota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Manitoba, most of South Dakota, Illinois, Indiana, Arkansas, and Mississippi, and parts of Texas, Kentucky, Missouri, and Montana. If Minnesota is using solely renewables, that's going to put a strain on the rest of the MISO grid. As a whole, MISO is already generating 5% less energy than the previous year due to the regulatory climate and a switch to renewables.

728 You would expect Leftist Student Agitators to support the girls who ordered Door Dash to school but don't. They are guilty of blasphemy. They ordered from the Forbidden Restaurant of Chick Fila, so they are infidels to the Church of Perpetual Outrage. The girls are on their own.
