Snowy-nosed reindeer in Finland
by @RyanResatka on Instagram

Rasta the white shepherd on a peak.


Sailing the fjords of Greenland.

Neat drone video of Bryce National Canyon in Utah.

Snowboarding obstacle course.

Beautiful mountain train.

Norway's stave churches.

I just came across this YouTube account of a dog owner who does a sportscaster play-by-play for his dogs' various doings.

Here, he playcalls his two dogs -- Olive, the black lab, and her younger sister, Mabel, the yellow lab -- in a race to finish breakfast first.

Olive and Mabel engage in tense match of take the bone from the other dog.

Olive and Mabel are in a duel to see who can get the filthiest.

A company Zoom call with the dogs.

Here's a Times (UK) story about the guy and his dogs. He's actually a rugby and golf commentator. When Anthony Fauci's Chinese partners shut the world down, he started commentating his dogs.

They also appeared on 60 Minutes Australia.

250. 'As a federally recognized tribe, the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians does not endorse wearing regalia as part of a costume or participating in any other type of cultural appropriation'

As chief of the Paco nation (originally indigenous to the land located not far from the what is now known as Booger Hollar Rd in Stanly county, NC, but, due to the famous Paco diaspora, now spread to hell and gone), I frown at this kind of tribal snobbery. My nation is more than happy to permit the use of our regalia - for a nominal fee.

35 Highly recommend the movie "The Holdovers", in which an ascerbic teacher (Paul Giamatti) at a Massachusetts prep school has to remain on campus to watch over a handful of students who have nowhere to go over the holidays. It ends up being just him, the school cook, and a very prickly young man with whom he locks horns. Very funny and poignant.

46 Here is mind-blowing report from Caroline Glick about how the IDF's top generals knew enough about Hamas's intentions and specific plans to have prevented the 10/7 attacks:

https://tinyurl.com/Glick-IDF-Intel-Fail

One thing she says that is just jaw-dropping is that, apparently, unless an Israeli military installation has specific threat intelligence, they don't have 24/7/365 watches awake and alert like the US military does. The IDF lost entire units killed in their beds on forward bases because nobody was on watch that morning.

I was just a supply officer on a supply ship but even I know you post a watch, always, no matter the time, location or alert status. What a Cluster-Fuck of Biblical Proportions.

53 Lots of Finns in Lantana, Floriduh. A small colony in fact. Cheap bastards, would buy equipment and vehicles here and ship home to Finland there and sell 4x what they paid here. They called theyselves "exporters" which is Finnish for "Gangsters".

Wimmen were kinda hot but hard, like Waffen SS types. Not a lot of smiling going on but friendly enough and blonde, even their mustaches. Very fit and tough. Never saw a fat Finnish broad.

Had a hotel in Lake Worth, a nearby town, where they would celebrate kicking commie ass once a year, forget the actual date or what event it was in their history books. Walls in the ceremonial hall would be festooned with their Winter War heroes, all in dress uniforms and medals. When they talked they sounded like Japs but slower.

Most any bullet will bounce off a new car windshield due to angle. New cars are designed like tanks, in wind tunnels.

You need to get up close and hit it at 90 degrees. Also the old 158 grain RN lead bullet was infamous for being a horrible bullet and nobody interested in stopping anything bothered with it. How is that a comparison with anything?

This is a Governor debate that happens to coincide with 2024. I think it would have happened whether DeSantis was running for president or not. They have been bashing each other's state for a while now. And yes I think DeSantis thinks this can be a positive for his campaign.

90 The reason "cultural appropriation" is bad is because whites and males, and a whole bunch of white males, see something being done the same way for hundreds of years and figure out better ways to do it almost immediately.

Take it as a compliment. No one "appropriates" bad ideas.

>>And yes I think DeSantis thinks this can be a positive for his campaign.

There is literally no rationale for this debate, DeSantis gains nothing for giving any air to Gavin F**king Newsome, nobody who is voting for Trump or any of the other also rans is going to flock to DeSantis after this ridiculous debate.

This is a putup job by Sean F**king Hannity and DeSantis as usual is following bad advice.

Here, here! Gone but not forgotten.

A magnolia tree, cut in half by a storm in the past and only a sprig was left, was where I buried my Snoopy Dog many years ago. His favorite spot back in the day. That tree now covers one half of my house with shade and comfort and is over 40 feet tall.

Rest well my friend.

Spent a week in Finland one January. The sun would fully come up, sorta, at around 10 am and it would start going down around 2 pm. It never stopped snowing the whole week. It was fine light and powdery most of the time but it never stopped. And it was farking cold.

There was a community of Finns settled near here in the 19-oughts. A Friend of mine here is of Finnish descent. He lives in his old Granny's house, and it has a wood-fired sauna out back. And Finn Hall, the community hall, was just down the road. The local historical society put up a commemorative sign, and Blaine thought it was too small, so he had a bigger one made, and erected right next to it.

I just discovered a nice little doohickey, the "Freeze Miser". It screws on the end of a outdoor faucet whatever and prevents freezing by temperature controlled dripping.

It's got a valve cartridge packed with thermal wax, whose expansion and contraction with temperature changes is very precise.

The valve starts to open when water temperate drops to 37F. The colder it gets, the more it opens. Flow enough water to get the temp back up and it closes.

That's what I've got here to protect, a galvanized stand pipe some distance away from the house. I should've put in a frost-proof hydrant (same principle, actual valve is way down in the ground, and it drains back when the valve is shut off).

When they were building the house, the brick masons came a bit early, and were screaming for water right then. I just got a piece of galvanized pipe and stubbed it up of the water line I ran.

I need to dig the damn thing up and either replace it with a proper hydrant or just cap it off underground.

215 Furiosa movie trailer looks okay. It looks like a well-made movie. But Miller has definitely let success go to his head on this one. It doesn't seem like it's going to have the show-don't-tell gritty feel of the prior films. Plus, they didn't show any crazy stunts in the trailer, so there will be no crazy stunts in the film. Aunty Entity was a more serious survivor than they will have young Furiosa be. Furiosa doesn't look, well, furious.

Auto engine thermostats are thermal wax pellets, mostly, although brass bellows filled with ether were also used.

264 They made a turbo-Diesel 4Runner for the world market which was a fine vehicle. Very peppy.
Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon'

Okay yes but a turbo diesel is a very different animal than a high-compression 4 that can't run on anything less than 93 octane with no methanol.
Oh, I'm already mourning Von Sydow. What a great car. But he is just... reaching out for the Rainbow Bridge.

268 224 Miller did work with mythologists and his work is quite good, 'Lorenzo's Oil' I talk up but get ready, it's brutal. His Furiosa movie is Greek Myth compatible but with the Woke Shittery it just comes across as lame and it's a huge mistake.
Bad timing.

Yeah, this movie should've been out in 2019 or 2021, it would've done better. I honestly think he should have made a sequel, not a prequel. Who cares about the origin story, the Fury Road movie gave it to us with the leathery old feminists. tell us what she does next, either to protect the community she freed from Immortan Joe, or if she can do the same for someone else. Good to see Chris Hemsworth can get a non-Thor role though.

274 Toyota has been putting a gutless 4banger in their Hilux and 4Runners for a long time
Posted by: Thomas Bender'

Then YOU make an engine that is more or less a stock manufacture that will run on plain gasoline, Pemex in Michicoan Mexico and also in Burma or whatever they're calling themselves these days. You don't dare make anything with a higher compression ratio than what? 8:1?
Von Sydow won't even back out of the garage at less than 10:1 and prefers upwards of 12:1.
Diesel? I think most countries run the Hilux on camel piss and Arabic tea.

>>I'll take a Newsom loss.

The general public have zero idea this debate is actually occurring.
=====
The partisans on both sides know it is happening, but mainly aren't watching it either. The Hard Left doesn't care because they want Woke Castro to run for president. The MAGA Right wants the Rumble in the Jungle rematch and has no time for anyone who's not Trump. (I should know! ) Of course, all of this just further illustrates why campaigning should be prohibited before the actual election year. We haven't even gone to Iowa yet, and already GOP contenders are falling by the wayside.

Exactly. Those engines are crude, simple, and work forever in sand and dirt. They are the Gutless Wonders like the Iron Duke the USA used to make by the bajillion that ran forever until someone decided they what killed the buffalo or some shit?
Gutless 4-bangers ARE ICE.

279 Just watched a few minutes of Newsome - he's more Loathsome than Newsome - he just suggested that parents rights to educate their own children was offensive to the LBGTQ community and DeSantis was part of that - why that is, he won't say - but he sounded smugly evil and demented just suggesting it - not a good look.

Gavin buried himself tonight - he comes across increasingly smug and evil - at least DeSantis seems earnest and desirous to please voters - Newsome acts arrogant and condescending. That's a political disaster visually - regardless of your ideology.
