The Quotes of The Day


Quote I

Does Haley like Mexican drug cartels? Or is she simply unaware that the fentanyl problem is a Mexico-is-on-our-border problem? In her case, it’s likely stupidity, but stupidity in the service of our ruling class, which maintains scrupulous neutrality on the value of American lives. Ann Coulter

Quote II

“I’m a good flyer, but my partner was not loving the information I was telling her and starting to panic, and I was trying to put her mind at rest as much as I could,” British traveler Phil Hardy


Quote III

“Then the game ended… and we had a second glass of wine and I remember I felt weird, like heavier in my head. And that’s the last thing I remember.” "Carlos"

***


I received the following from OrangeEnt: 'Here's a link to something to make the blood boil.' It certainly does.

It's stupid news and not political for a change. Politics is a sewer.

Reese Witherspoon Grossed Out A Bunch Of People By Eating Snow, But She Doesn’t Care: ‘You Only Live Once’


***


FBI training these days is lax compared to days of yesteryear.


***


The headline reads: 'Gen Z is prioritizing living over working because they've seen 'the legacy of broken promises' in corporate America, a future-of-work expert says' Or are they just lazy?

A future-of-work expert said Gen Zers "work to live" because they watched older generations suffer.
At Davos, Ravin Jesuthasan told Business Insider Gen Zers didn't see the same rewards for hard work.
So they don't want to put work first at the expense of their personal lives and well-being.

I don't disagree with this. But Gen Z isn't entirely wrong about corporate America. Meritocracy has been undermined, and corporate governance is often dystopian. I'd compare it to the military recruiting difficulties; corporate America has tarnished its reputation and people have noticed.

89 The screws looked like they were just for an access panel. Nothing load bearing. Otherwise they'd be sealed, primed, painted rivets. Not that you'd generally consider the skins and their attachment in a strength margin assessment anyway. But you definitely never consider access panels.

corporate America used to make stuff for Americans using American workers and competed for the American buyer...

Then the accountants and lawyers figured out the management could make as much, or more, money by outsourcing everything and screwing American workers and the American buyer.

A few years ago I rewatched the first two or three seasons of The Beverly Hillbillies. It was fascinating how most of the foods they mentioned as being weird, gross, hillbilly foods are now generally accepted and even upscale.

I’m pretty sure, however, that when Jethro ate a bowl of snow it wasn’t meant to be gross. I never expected that to change.

Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at January 22, 2024 10:21 PM (tkR6S)

The immediate effect would be cavity pressure fluctuations and maybe acoustic loads at structural resonance. And some loss of wing lift due to change in outer mold line. Wings are designed for some back pressure and cavity acoustic noise but certainly not positive internal cruise speed stagnation pressure + negative limit static on the outside. Not extremely likely but could result in structural failure.

Important to remember the wing is just a fuel tank that happens to also hold you in the air. So it has a lot of panels and fixtures for dealing with fuel that have to then be buttoned down.

167 I was fairly jaded about the corporate world before - there is no loyalty to a company because companies sure are hell don't have any. Note...this doesn't mean you shouldn't have loyalty to your coworkers because that is a different story but the company...? Its a simple transaction I do this work you give me that money.

But this COVID shit just made me realize I wasn't jaded enough. At many companies (mine, fortunately for me, chickened out) they were willing to demand their employees get injected with poison to get a chance at government contracts.

2. "Work to live" is not Z-talk. People my age have gabble-kakked that jive for 50 or 60 years, and we picked it up from the cool kids before us. Your minister told you this, and probably your wife and her divorce lawyer, when you had those. It's a burr you put under your own saddle when you're starting to get sway-backed.

Well, if your desire is to start a family and settle down, getting involved with a woman that wants to start a career and rock and roll all night and part of everyday, may lead to goal misalignment and a tremendous amount of time wasted.

264 Everyone with a desire to bake bread...from scratch

Bakers Flour + water (think Pancake mix thickness)..Large jar place inside, cover with cheesecloth place on warm dry shelf in your kitchen...yeast spores will form in a week or so.

The batter will fluff up some. Cut out half the mixture and replace with equal parts of mixed fresh flour and water, cover and let set again for another week. The yeast will go to town then.

When it fluffs up again...now you can portion out a bit into a full bread mixture to make some awesome SOURDOUGH BREAD. Just keep your starter dough healthy.

334 >>325 Spandau Ballet and B-52s aren't really "80s music" I think of them both as Punk/New Wave. B-52s formed in the 70s. Posted by: San Franpsycho at January 22, 2024 11:54 PM (RIvkX)

Led Zeppelin isn't really "70s music." They cribbed from 1920s delta blues.

Led Zeppelin is a 1920s band that formed in the late 1960s.

343 The way i see it is if someone asks me "would you go out with me?" and I say "no" that I've answered that question and not the the sometimes implied and not asked question "would you ever reconsider that?" I've told people no for other reasons than lack of interest, including my own life limitations at that moment. People take rejection really hard sometimes - they shouldn't and if someone makes a point of making you feel like you should, they're probably not capable of a relationship anyway.

A lot of weird assumptions that i can respond to because I don't understand. There's a lot of things it could be including my family's ancient history, some of the things I've been outspoken about, etc. It doesn't help that I like to creatively mix my metaphors for fun - maybe someone got a really wrong impression. I'm tired of it and it's made being on the web unpleasant for me. I can't just blow off steam like I used to and have fun.

393 re the airplane story from NYPost: 30+ yrs ago I was on a nonstop from SeaTac to Atlanta, and I hate to fly.
I had a wondow seat, and as we were starting to cross the Rockies with some turbulence, had just ordered a drink and noticed while I was waiting that something was off with the wing: One of several triangular pieces, circular on top and flaring toward the base at the back edge of the wing, was missing two screws on one side of three on each side.
When the attendant came, I ordered my bourbon (I hate to fly) and said, "Hey, is that supposed to do that?", pointing out the window to the vibrating piece.
They looked, then lunged across my lap to stare, then stood up and said "It is normal for machinery to oscillate in flight, but I'll tell the captain of your concern, and it will be checked when we land. That was a double bourbon, right?"
I said "yes please".
I watched that thing shake all the way east, and that lovely person kept the shots coming.

418 410 the mind reading tech? Yes, i think it is. We've got technology now that allows you to control a computer with your mind. Believe or not, and I didn't at first as it's been a running joke for God knows how long, aluminum actually partially blocks the signal. Aluminum is a non-conductive metal and that makes sense. I used to think that was sci-fi, but I'm not totally convinced of that anymore.

Yes.

A lighting question for the Horde, and no, it is not how many morons does it take to change a lightbulb. The lamp beside my bed went dark and I replaced the bulb with some energy efficient big box store bulb. All of a sudden my bedroom is illuminated like a parking garage and I am not a fan. Are there any "modern" lightbulbs out there that cast a more conventional softer light?

446 372 348 Depeche Mode

My late wife and I almost totally missed the 80s and half the 90s music. We got married in 75 and had 2 kids within 8 years. Bringing them up, work and so on pretty much meant that we ignored the music scene, plus it was Africa so much of the music was British and the US stuff was selective.
My younger one did some internet-radio DJing and was instrumental in introducing me to many of the groups and music. When she had me sample some symphonic metal I was sold and have been a fan now for at least 20 years or so. Do not like death metal.

This morning I had to pre-register, confirm the appointment and then answer a questionnaire. They asked me an awful lot of personal questions, it was much easier to lie and answer rather than checking the refused to answer box, that would be guaranteed to raise red flags, heck I would probably be escorted immediately from the doctor's office to a psych ward somewhere. I dislike modern medicine intensely. I grew up with the family doc making a housecall.

Mitt Romney was a governor of Massachusetts; Nikki Haley was a governor of South Carolina. Romney would never have been elected governor of S.C. just as Haley would never be elected governor of MA.

465 Jim, I just think Nikki is much more insidious. With Mittens, you know he's a milquetoast RINO from a milquetoast RINO family. Nikki is that woke wolf in conservative garb. IMAO, she is magnitudes worse than Mittens: Haley hides who she really is. But her cool demeanor still gets cracked by regular people calling her out. She cannot handle criticism -- at all. And I think she's much more corrupt, at least she is on my Political Corruption Scale. (If you must know, # 1 on my Political Corruption Scale is a joint award, the Clintons.)

Remember, they paid for the whole Russian Collusion hoax with the Steel Dossier. The Clintons, again IMAO, literally have had inconvenient people killed. 'Cause you know, Epstein didn't kill hisself. And why would the FBEye want murder victim, and DNC staffer, Seth Rich's computer's contents sealed for 66 years, just like the JFK Files?
