The Quotes of The Day

Quote I

“[Trump] has my endorsement because we can’t go back to the old Republican guard of yesteryear -- a repackaged form of warmed-over corporatism -- that Nikki Haley represents. The days of putting Americans last, of kowtowing to large corporations, of caving to woke ideology, are over." FL Gov. Ron DeSantis


#NeverNikki

Quote II

“As you approach a full charging location, your EV (of any make) connects to the charging location and enters itself into a virtual queue, with entry to the queue dependent upon close geographical proximity. Drivers then park in an available normal parking spot, and only when prompted, proceed to plug in and charge. If a driver attempted to charge before their turn, the chargers would simply not communicate with the vehicle..” GreenBiz transportation writer Vartan Badalian


Quote III
A video of Michael Moore addressing an Ohio crowd praising Donald Trump.

The kinder, gentler Sunday night ONT will be censored. Oh FFS. Piss off you frozen Scandis I don't live in Norway

Electric vehicles fail at a lower rate than gas-powered cars in the extreme cold, according to a road assistance service in Norway.

Electric vehicles often get bad press about their performance in the cold. Just yesterday, we reported on dead Tesla vehicles piling up at supercharger stations across Chicago.

It now looks like the extreme cold conditions have affected the chargers themselves rather than the vehicles, according to local sources.

Colorado do-gooders are on their way to ban mountain lion hunts. That should prove interesting in years to come.

Colorado Cancels Spring Mountain Lion Hunt Ahead of Vote to Ban

Last week, the Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) Commission made the unanimous decision to cancel the April mountain lion hunting season and further prohibit the use of electronic calls statewide. This move comes in the middle of the current mountain lion season, which runs from November to March. The changes are slated to take effect on March 1 and will affect the units that have an additional April season.

It should be noted that the current harvest falls well within the established quotas set by CPW and is not made in reaction to any quotas being met or exceeded.

Oh I bet you lost club head speed.

A transgender golfer with dreams of making it to the LPGA tour has won a women’s tournament in Florida, which improved her chances of earning herself a spot in a qualifying tour.

Hailey Davidson, 30, came out on top at the NXXT Women’s Classic on Jan. 17 at the Mission Inn Resort and Club, 35 miles northwest of Orlando, after shooting one-over-73 and ending the three-round tournament +4.

Davidson, a Scottish native residing in Florida, won after being 3-shots behind with two holes to go before forcing a playoff following her play on the 18th hole, according to Davidson’s Instagram post celebrating the victory.

Downtrodden Minority 1 - White Liberal Guilt 0. Indians aren't upset, who knew?

The Native American Guardian’s Association (NAGA) is cheering after a southern Pennsylvania school board voted on Thursday to restore the district’s mascot logo that features a Native American fighter to go along with the “Susquehannock Warriors” name.

Despite cries of cultural insensitivity from woke critics, the Southern York County School District voted 7-2 to bring the retired logo back and retain the Susquehannock High School teams’ name as the “Warriors.”

Ankle monitor? What ankle monitor? Genius Award Winner.

Man Tried To Swap Drugs For Fried Pickles
Cops: Suspect, 25, busted for Buffalo Wild Wings barter bid

JANUARY 19--The Buffalo Wild Wings had closed late Sunday when Justin Carpenter pulled up to the Lawrence, Indiana restaurant around midnight looking for food.

Fried pickles, to be exact.

In an ill-advised bid to get the kitchen reopened, Carpenter, 25, proposed a barter exchange to B Dubs employees, two of whom were minors. As alleged by police, Carpenter “offered drugs to Buffalo Wild Wings workers in exchange for fried pickles.”

Carpenter--who was wearing an ankle monitor as a result of a prior drug arrest--offered marijuana, cocaine, Ecstasy, and vape cartridges containing THC, according to workers interviewed by cops. Carpenter, accompanied by a male friend, reportedly declared, “If you make us some fried pickles, I’ll make it worth it.”

Employees did not agree to the drugs-for-pickles trade and Carpenter departed the Buffalo Wild Wings. Before leaving, though, investigators charge that Carpenter left three small bags of marijuana on the restaurant’s front counter, and told a manager, “Give those bags to the kids.”

Posted by: Gentlemen, this is junta manifest


Exactly. Not all statistics lie, but all liars use statistics.

So it's a roadside-assistance/tow-truck company's report. 13% of their calls were for EVs, and supposedly 23% of vehicles in Norway are electric.

23% pure battery EVs, or are they counting hybrids?

If you can't get out of the garage because your battery won't charge, you don't call a tow truck.

If you're smart enough to keep your EV at home when the weather is 40 below, you don't call a tow truck.

I think Europe is big on diesel. If you don't keep your diesel warm, it doesn't start in the 40 below, so you call a tow truck.

EVs are mostly new. How many calls were for 20+ year old ICE cars? Or even 7 year old ICE cars with..... dead batteries?

We needed something like that in 2018 and 2020.

Of course, I'm not planning on watching the Super Bowl so my interest level is already pretty low. I may finish up The Expanse on Super Bowl Sunday. I'm down to Season 5&6.

97 “[Trump] has my endorsement because we can’t go back to the old Republican guard of yesteryear -- a repackaged form of warmed-over corporatism -- that Nikki Haley represents. The days of putting Americans last, of kowtowing to large corporations, of caving to woke ideology, are over." FL Gov. Ron DeSantis

- - - - - - - - - - - -

I have strong worries about the quarrels between Trump and DeSantis, and how they would continue forward from here. Especially as the commentariat on Instapundit were Never'ers (of either Don or Ron) - claiming they'll sit out, and then one of the other side baiting them.

But that quote above is the Un-Endorsement of Haley. And given DeSantis's feud with Disney, he has bonafides against woke corporations. Particularly those that, as Iowahawk described, were gutted by the Woke and are being worn as a skin-suit. And Haley's previous forays into woke areas should be cause for concern.

… And this reboot happens. And he then shows the judge the display and it shows a picture of the on off button as he’s pushing it for five to 10 seconds to instigate the reboot. But before you reboot the whole thing they'll
be something that comes up to ask if he wants to go into safe mode, and then he pushes. Yes. So it doesn’t shut it down or reboot. He just goes into safe mode. And that allows him to open up files and change the content of files."

157 Evening.

Finally rewatched the movie Fandango (1985) for the first time in over 20 years. Yeah, that's some good stuff.

And I swear to fucking Allah that a guy named Abraham Benrubi (he played Jerry on ER) was in it but it wasn't him. It was some guy named Chuck Bush who was only in one other indie film after this. Welp!

Anyway, if you get a chance to watch this it's a definite recommend. Still about as good as I remember it.

158 Part of the allure, for FedGov, of EV's is that they keep the public from traveling too far from where they want them to stay.

Say.... FedGov is interested in Joe's latest trip to Bass Pro. In his mandated EV. What did Joe buy? Well, FedGov knows the moment his card is swiped at the register, right? But Joe has been known to read Ace of Spades HQ website. And now Joe has visited Bass Pro and purchased some ammo.

FedGov needs to talk to Joe.... away from his home and somewhere he's "controllable." Oh, look! Joe's EV is in line at the ElectroLux Charge Station at 5th and Main.

Surprise, Joe!!! We're from the government and we're here to fuck you over.

Not totally out of the realm of possibilities. Probably likely.

>>nothing has been forced as of now

It's being forced behind the scenes, automakers are being fined for producing large displacement engines, which is why V8's are disappearing, being replaced by smaller displacement turbocharged and hybrid engines.

As the requirements become more stringent, V6s and Diesels will be on the chopping block.

They are going to whittle it down to gutless 4 Bangers and then there will finally be no option other than EVs.

It's there plan, nobody voted on it, congress ain't gonna do sh*t about it, so I'm guessing sh*t is going to hit the fan in 2030 when automakers are supposed to stop producing ICE vehicles.

Nor, has a case been ruled on, much less heard, by the U.S. Supreme Court.

217 I can’t speak for hunting big cats or Rams or whatever. Hunting is a major cultural thing in this country and always has been. Some things if you are not part of, are hard to understand. Look at a Spaniard trying to defend bullfighting to someone from a culture where that is alien.

You rarely hear of people questioning hunting black bears, that has always been a season in a large part of this nation.

I’ve yet to see a large group of people say let’s go out to a restaurant and eat bear. I am not saying it is inedible . I’m not saying there are not people that like it but it is not something comparable to venison which is truly liked and enjoyed by lots of people. In fact, in many states, hunters hunt deer and gives them meat to the homeless.

I’m not huge on many government agencies at times,, but I would say the fish and wildlife people usually know what they are doing. They issue hunting licenses based on their plans for culling various herds for the long-term benefit.

1. The owners of ICE cars are more likely to venture out in the cold, because they can. EV owners tend to sit home.

2. The ICE fleet includes many older cars, some which may have been neglected wrt maintenance, so dead batteries, or fuel system problems crop up when the weather gets cold. Most of the EV fleet is too new for age-related issues to be very common.

For what it's worth, a (possibly) interesting tidbit here - my grandfather on Mom's side of the family earned a fairly nice living logging out the remainder of the Piney Woods region when Mississippi still had a sizable black bear population, and on many occasions the work crews chowed down on bear. He said it was delicious, with a curious sweet taste to it. Butchering the creature, though, was a freak-out, because there was a troubling similarity with human anatomy.

230 221, I was defending hunting various critters. For sure there’s politics now and I’m not saying I’m all in with any agency. But in general of a long period of time, the fish and wildlife people have been respected just like the national parks people have been respected. But now we see how the NPS has been infiltrated at least at the top by leftists. Don’t mix up what I’m saying. I’m just saying to the person who asked why they hunted a certain animal that there’s probably a good reason why it is legal. It’s a free country and is the end. If something needs to be banned, we have to go out vote and ban it.

246 192 You're right. I haven't and I wasn't aware that was a common occurence in the absence of hunting. Obviously, you'd be worried about pets and kids. Mountain lion attacks on adults are rare, but they do happen as well. I read a study, just one mind you, that looked at mountain lion presence on the outskirts of towns and found that killing older individuals that had establiahed territories nearer to town and that were wizened enough to stay out of it often led to younger animals venturing into town more frequently.

217 I reallt don't understand the culture behind killing an animal that isn't causing harm and that you're not gonna eat and I probably never will, but I think governments ought to leave the resource management to the people using them.

>>Colorado was red about 10 years ago and now it’s deep blue.

It coincides with universal mail-in balloting.

Once Donks were able to get control of Washington, Oregon and Colorado, they immediately went to a mail in balloting system, and most of these states have rank choice voting and jungle primary schemes as well.

Looks like Alaska is heading that way as well but it's the Alaska GOP that leading the state into this nonsense under the theory of what's good for the Donks could be good for them, except it's going to end up with the Donks controlling that state down the road.

So eventually, you will have a solid left block of the country that's in Donk Control.

Brilliant GOP, just brilliant.

260 Watching Chris Williamson interview Nicholas Eberstadt and one line really stood out to me.

Eberstadt points out that our nominal intellectual elites can't even describe the arguments of the people that disagree with them because they just claim those people are evil and leave it at that.

And...as an interesting aside to this I was watching two leftists interview each other trying to understand how conservatives think and while really trying...failing.

Here's an easy way for our elites to understand modern conservatives. Pick some issue that isn't political right now. Say...finding kittens cute. Imagine in ten years not only is owning a kitten banned, but anyone claiming they are cute is evil and should be censored. Is that too much? Tens years ago *everyone* believed trannies were crazy and any conservative arguing that they would be the next step for "gay rights" was a conspiracy theorist.

The really weird thing is there are some people that think even if Haley somehow won by Democrat interference, that would change something. These people are clueless. They are living in a different world. There is no chance another Republican defeats Trump in the Republican primaries. The more they attack him the stronger he gets that’s just the fact. DeSantis was right to get out early. It was the smart thing to do for Ron DeSantis himself.

Cockles are an edible mollusc, very similar to a clam. Clams tend to have concentric ridges on their shells, and cockles have radiating ridges.

310 281 Trump exposed a lot of dirt bags for who they really were, something this country desperately needed. Our level of trust in these people was undeserved and easily strip-mined. I'm not unhappy about giving him another chance, though I don't expect this to end the downward trend we've been on. From what I have seen, most people are still ensnared into protecting their interests to acknowledge the underlying issues. Even they'd rather slap a bandaid on it and look the other way sometimes.

I started with Rand Paul now he’s beloved, but back, then most questioned him. When he was gone, I went with Ted Cruz like some others. When it became Trump, we supported Trump. that’s how primaries usually work certainly when you have someone like GWB, who abandoned his party and had Cheney, so there was no heir whatsoever. That faux Texan/Wyoming group took their ball and went home. It was wide-open.

I’m not sure I get how supporting someone other than Trump early in a primary in 2016 has anything to do with the last seven years or so.

I'm not hacking on ace. I've been here for a long time and it's mainly cause I like ace but I don't always agree with him or him me.

Trump won over the inevitable Hillary in 2016 when everyone said it was impossible. He also won in 2020 so big they had to obviously steal it. He is by far the most popular Republican candidate in 2024. We are one state into the primary and the only candidate left standing to oppose him is Nikki frigging Haley. His popularity with the base was obvious to anyone who didn't have blinders on months ago.

Trump is currently winning the national popular vote over Biden which is huge. He's beating him in every single swing state and not by a little. The only way he loses is through cheating. If the left won't cheat against Ron then they don't fear him so why would I vote for him?

If you're lucky and you get basic human decency and intolerance of abuse of power together in one basket, you might pick up enough momentum to put energy back in the system. But you have to be able to control your anger well enough not to misdirect, collectively. I have not seen very much of that here on the web. The Scots lost their country this way.

A lot of people stay very quiet because they are wary of this BS and they ought to be. You keep the morale up and stick together because it's important.

I know there’s an old joke about Chinese restaurants on Christmas Day, but I experienced that myself just this year doing some deliveries. A strange site I saw was a group of Hispanic people eating in a Chinese restaurant. One of the group wore a star of David necklace. Didn’t they all gave a Christian prayer and ate together as a family. I have no further point about this I just thought it was interesting and it was awesome too to see a family praising God and enjoying a meal together even at a strip mall Chinese joint on Christmas Day.

He has been distracted by the campaign, and I think right now, Abbott is the hot Republican governor right now. You kin could have made moves but it is just not who he is.

463 Morning, insomanicals! I woke up a bit earlier than I planned, but I tell myself (a) I had a nap yesterday, so not really a deficit, and (b) I'll catch up tonight. Which is pretty much what I tell myself every Monday.

MeTV's Sunday to Monday overnight lineup is different from the rest of the week. We get The Fugitive and Mission: Impossible. The Kimble episode is the first one in color, and somehow it doesn't fit the tone of the show. As for M:I, we're into the Phelps stories now, which I remember few specific episodes from. The neat thing at the opener right now is he's driving a big Mercury convertible, teal blue with a white vinyl or leather interior. I wish we could get color combos like that today.

465 My dad is just finishing up a resto on his old skylark. Was originally a maroon red with vinyl hard top, but he said "screw it, i want blue", so he picked out a really really sweet modern metallic blue paint code from Hyundai or someone and sprayed it himself, and then got new news-anchor-teeth white vinyl.... it looks pretty damn nice.

467 I can't sleep. hubs drove an older yellow Skylark with a sunroof when we were dating and in our first years of marriage. He called it the big banana. I was driving my Mom's hand-me-down Chevy Vega station wagon, I called it the "Eggbeater".

468 Yeah, I wish we could still have big two-door cars, hardtop or convertible. My LaCrosse would look awesome as a coupe: "Buick Presents: Wildcat, by LaCrosse," with a choice of a red, a blue, and a green exterior color, and a choice of white, beige, caramel tan, or matching color for the interior. Sport wheels, a tan top for the convertible, and some brushed aluminum on the dash. All with 300 hp and today's safety, gas mileage, and reliability. Wow!

I know, who could afford to buy it. Still, that would be cool.

469 RDS should be the first president of the American Governors Who Aren't Retards Association.

And hopefully in ten years news gremlins will be mewling and suppurating about how scared they are about upsetting the AGWARA, and how unfair it is that they hold all the power... all the new governors will be bending the knee so they can play ball with the AGWARA... It would be lovely.

Let them be smelly and dumb, so long as they fear. Or however that saying goes.

Morning, Debby. Sorry to hear that, but then we most of us are in the same bucket.

My first car was bought w/ an inheritance by the future Mrs. Wolfus No. 1, a new metallic green Ford Maverick four-door (ca. $4000) with a matching green fabric-and-vinyl interior. Power steering but not power brakes (?), A/C, AM radio, and the larger 250 cubic inch engine. (I looked it up recently: about 100 horsepower.) I'd find it tinny and unpleasant to drive now. Then, I loved it.

471 We rented a Park Avenue in Florida about 40 years ago, now that was a smooth ride. We were going to rent a Caddy, but the assholes in front of us grabbed the last one. I still think that we got the better car. We went to a disastrous wedding down there, not for us, but for a most unfortunate coupling.

Posted by: Debby Doberman Schultz at January 22, 2024 03:26 AM (Sgq8y)

472 My first car (technically second but let's not go there) was 10 years old already when i got it in 1999. I still have it, and I'm getting it back on the road probably some time this spring. I've only ever had one car besides those two, which i also plan on keeping forever.

The "lease a new one every year" mentality a lot of people have is completely alien to me. I totally get it, but it still is bizarre and weird.

Buicks are still the unsung bargains of the car world. You get 70% of the Mercedes driving experience for 50% of the cost, less if you buy used. All three of mine, an '03 Park Avenue, a 2011 Regal, and the current '16 LaCrosse, have been solid and reliable, a pleasure to drive, and reasonable to repair, maintain, feed, and insure.

The don't make sedans any more, just three SUV models. A shame. If something happens to the LaCrosse and I can't find a similar used one, I'll need to look at Toyota Avalons or Lexus ES models.

When cars were considered old at 60K miles, and a new car cost a much smaller percentage of a middle-class salary than they do today, it made some sense. And there was the fun of getting to know the feel and capabilities of a new car, like opening a Christmas present. Not now.

475 When my parents moved to a senior living community there were no less than 8 Buicks in the parking lot, the majority of them sporting a kind of dull gold metallic finish. Buick made very comfy cars.

477 I have a Buick Park Avenue 1989. It has flat tires and a flat battery and hasn't moved for about 10 years but the car worked the last time it was used. Gas guzzler. The paint is in poor condition as it's that dark red GM paint that was pathetic. Vinyl top has seen many hailstones but no leaks.

The Oldsmobile Aurora and the Toyota Avalon, the last cars of our two sets of parents, shared one thing in common -- really, really heavy doors.

Vinyl roofs / vinyl tops -- now there's an idea that someone ought to have stepped forward to ask, "Have any of you geniuses ever really looked into what prolonged exposure to sunlight does to plastics?"

482 Sunlight and plastics.
Start with the old computers where everything was white plastic and with age, particularly exposure to fluorescents, changed them to a dirty yellow color. Now they are all black.

Also the plasticizers evaporate and degrade so the plastic becomes brittle. Door panel in my 2000 Intrepid fell apart at the repair shop when they were fixing my window. They got me a leather replacement (used) at no cost.

The vinyl top on the Buick is now hard and no longer leather-like.

483 My first car was a fifteen year old VW. The heat didn't work, which meant I carried an ice scraper inside to keep the windshield clear, but otherwise that car was a tank. Put a hundred pounds of sand over the front wheels, and we could get through everything winter threw at us. The summer was more problematic, as the engine was air cooled. Threw a rod a couple times, but you could replace individual pistons on the engine, which was good. Still, no fun.
