Sushi roll protection is very important. My woman is always snitching my sushi. I need a dog like that. She snitches my French fries... Even though she said she didn't want french fries. She snitches the sushi even though she says she doesn't want sushi. She says she loves me but does she really? She does a lot for me so I am a lucky man. Plus she's pretty hot.

On the topic of "this is it for Biden" ...
I remember when Sam Donaldson said of the Monica Lewinsky revelations that "if true" the Clinton administration had days not weeks. The revelations were of course true. Clinton stayed in office until the end of his term, survived impeachment and had very positive polling throughout. So I am not so sanguine about terrible news being the end of a Democrat administration. The Dems are fantastic at sliding that Overton Window.

Speaking of Uranus, remember when they discovered it has rings like Saturn's, they're just invisible from earth because they're turned edgewise to us? I remember because it was Christmas or Thanksgiving and the family was gathered together, including all of us grown-up kids.

Weirdest message? True story. I was on a small business's mailing list and would regularly get folksy robo-emails from the owner (lets call him Joe) with headers like "I have a problem!" about being over stocked and so he was having a sale for the customers on his list, etc.
One Friday I got an email from the business, announcing Joe had suddenly, and unexpectedly, passed away. I was a little sad, as he had seemed like a nice guy. Unknown to anybody, Joe had left one last email in the auto cue. On Monday, I get an email from Joe, subject: "Can you help me?" Posted by: Idaho Spudboy at February 09, 2024 10:36 PM (3UsVM) 63

Hello. Little dogs are aggressive because they have to prove themselves. Big dogs know they are large and have fangs and can just kind of look at you and say "Look. Check these. I could kill you, but I'm a retriever! Everything is awesome!"
Little dogs don't have that and they can't legally buy guns. So they have to improvise. That means a lot of teeth baring and stuff. Posted by: BeckoningChasm at February 09, 2024 10:42 PM (CHHv1) Posted by: Nightwatch at February 09, 2024 10:44 PM (TDvv2) 78

Yeah, okay, well, I had an emergency bowel resection in October. Some kind of blockage. It was a close call but yay the doc saved me. Since then, I've had a colonoscopy, endoscopy, another colonoscopy, two cat scans, and an MRI. They've all been inconclusive - for sixteen weeks now, no idea what the thing is. Possibly cancer lump. Might be a bad bite of overcooked cauliflower-crust pizza. More exploration ahead. So, I guess you could say, no news is good news. So far. But I'm never having cauliflower-crust pizza again!

Here is how bad the lasting narrative of the deep state can get - just got back from a dinner with a NYS licensed firearm seller - he suggested vehemently that NYS could lock you up if you owned a firearm, including a pistol, simple if NYS refused to license that firearm - even regardless of whether you requested it be registered.
He hadn't even heard of Bruen. This is really sad, but NYS has long since trained its law-abiding citizens that they are not even allowed to own pistols unless the state agrees to license them that right. Posted by: Boswell at February 09, 2024 10:56 PM (K+UlC) 104

The first three Quatermass films should be required viewing by anyone who claims to be a science fiction fan.
Posted by: BeckoningChasm Nigel Kneale was a genius - you can view two of the three Quatermass tv serials on Internet Archive. His The Stone Tape is also brilliant - exploring X Files territory long before Chris Carter came along. Great social critic/prophet too, predicting reality tv and its lurid excesses forty years before there was a hint of it. I still think Paddy Chayefsky cribbed from him in Network.

Rhodesia story: Towards the end of the Bush War, the government announced it would pay bounties on terrorists, "Dead or Alive." Some American mercs heard this, grabbed their gear, and ran an ambush that night. They tossed the bodies in a truck, drove to the nearest police station, and demanded the rewards. "But...but..but," sputtered the policeman, "You KILLED them!"
"And that," the merc said, "was when we realized they weren't serious about winning the war." Posted by: Idaho Spudboy at February 09, 2024 11:04 PM (3UsVM) 117

Trust the science says - JWST is going to send us images from so far back into time that we'll be looking at galaxies in the earliest stages of their formation.
Dr Jason Lisle of the Creation Science Institute - Um no. We'll be looking at fully formed, mature galaxies. And you guys are going to grab a rescue mechanism along the lines of 'Galaxies must have started forming much earlier than we thought. The first images from JWST are returned and...

First, never accept leftist verbiage - “email scandal” doesn’t come close to being accurate.
Mrs Clinton had multiple unsecured computer servers with which she was conducting official state business and failed to safeguard state secrets. Among other things. Notably removal of documents or imagery from a SCIF. There is no internet or email even possible. Somebody stole those documents, or took pictures of them, etc. Absolutely no fucking way they could get on a computer server without black letter law Federal Felonies. USC Title 18 blah blah. Intent ain’t got nothin’ to do with it. Same with Joe. He never had authority to have any of it, never mind in a cum-stained cardboard box in his trashy garage.

I spent the evening chasing down Putin's comment that there is no Ukraine. In his conversation with Tucker he said Ukraine was a construct of the West. I used available online maps [they would much rather you buy a map than view it - anyway] to establish the existence of Ukraine. I found maps from 1850 through the formation of the League of Nations. The url says 1920. There's also a 1923.
The first reference to Ukraine is a German war map from 1917. I tried to download the 1914 map but it was crashed the browser so I don't know if the reference is there or not. That's a big score for Putin. Posted by: Braenyard at February 10, 2024 12:01 AM (vf7x3) 203

I think I recall Weird Dave had his rv break down travelling thru ND and a very kind aos couple (and others) offered rides and assistance, etc.
That's not the half of it. They put us up for a week while it was being fixed, gave us an extra car so that we could drive around. And gave us the full tour of Bismarck, North Dakota. We almost moved there instead of Texas because of it. I can't remember his board name and I'm not gonna post his real name. But they were Morons. Morons are fabulous people no matter where they are.

AOP - the Quatermass films are indeed awesome. If you have a chance, check out the original BBC serials they were derived from. (I think the only one that's missing is the Quatermass Experiment, a casualty of the BBC practice of not preserving recordings of some of their programming.) Quatermass's creator Nigel Kneale also did a lesser-known BBC film called The Stone Tape that broke a lot of ground that shows like Fringe and the X Files explored later on.

Well, I got the shell of the second wall cabinet built, and secured to the wall (and ceiling ) in the kitchen. And mounted the under-cabinet LED fixture that shines down on the countertop. Kitchen is really beginning to look finished. Picked up a 4X8 sheet of pine-veneer plywood today for 49 dollars, which will become the 4 shelves for the cabinets. Bottom shelf is just a false bottom to conceal the pancake electrical box for the lighting units. Then one shelf placed midway in the cab's. They had melamine-coated MDF board, which would have made nice shelves, but it would have cost 50% more, and left me with a big hunk of waste MDF. Leftover plywood is never really waste.

The current IAU definition of planet, which they hammered out in 2006 is thus: 1) In orbit around the Sun 2) Is in hydrostatic equilibium 3) Has "cleared the neighborhood" of debris Note 1) means this applies only to our Solar System. There is no definition of exoplanets yet. 2) basically means "is roughly spherical/round". Mercury and even Mars aren't technically in hydrostatic equilibrium, but they are planets. A sufficiently massive body could not be odd shaped. You could not have cube shaped object above a certain mass (unless you had some very, very strong and exotic material to hold that shape) 3) When an object gets big enough, it begins to gravitationally dominate it's near neighborhood. You could not for instance, have a massive body in about the same orbit as Earth. There would be collision or ejection event.

Indeed. Imagine a cube about the mass and size of the earth. Imagine the environment near the corners and edges. The local g vector would not be tangent to the surface, but pointing toward the center of mass. Locally, there would be strong side-ways forces. And those forces naturally push things into a round shape. Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at February 10, 2024 12:36 AM (w6EFb) 246

There's a very real and compelling argument that Ukraine provided the nucleus of what became Greater Russia in the form of the Kievan Rus.

Putin didn't put a specific date on it but it was around the turn of the century. The 1900 and before maps, none of them, back to 1850, had a hint of Ukraine. The 1914 map cratered my browser several times. And the 1917 German war map, out of the blue, had Ukraine on it. Putin said it was a western conjecture and by maps, which we all use to define political boundaries agree. That's the framework. I have no meat for the bones.

I was with one of the very few that took a public school taught course on Russian and Soviet history in the 80s. I also took three different Russian history courses in college. One was Soviet history to present one was Rajan history from 1805 to 1914 or something. The third course was earlier Russian history.. for sure a major part of the first lessons was an about Kievan Rus. That is where the Russians saw their cultural ancestry and that is where American colleges describe the beginning of modern Russia, as modern as it is, which isn’t that modern.

A Chinese researcher has been arrested for stealing trade secret technologies developed for the U.S. government to detect nuclear missile launches and to track ballistic and hypersonic missiles, according to the (DOJ).
Chenguang Gong, 57, was arrested in San Jose on Feb. 6. Mr. Gong became a U.S. citizen in 2011.

Posted by: AmericanKestrel Absolutely - the Orthodox Church and its culturally Greek-centered worldview was to Eastern Europe what the Catholic Church and its culturally Latin (late Roman)-centered worldview was to Western Europe. The carry-over effect of the Great Schism that persists to this day.

1517 was the year in which Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the Wittenberg Church door.
Other than that, I have no clue. Maybe 313 was the "start" date of the Latin church? Looked it up - the Edict of Milan in which the Roman Empire accepted Christianity. Posted by: AmericanKestrel at February 10, 2024 01:29 AM (S5+ge) 316
313 was the year that Constantine promulgated the Edict of Milan, allowing religious toleration in the late Roman Empire for Christians, and paving the way for the eventual ascendancy of the Church based on the bishopric of Rome. 1517, as pointed out, the conventional date for the onset of the Reformation. Gibson's referring to the overwhelming religious, social, political and economic impact the Catholic faith was able to exert during that time. (Like brokering a deal between Spain and Portugal to divide the undiscovered world between them, formalized in the Treaty of Tordesillas.)

We made a promise to Yeltsin we would not do that, then we did. The thing people may not get from Putin's long history lesson is that history's effect on the Russian psyche. Russia was invaded by two major armies bent on conquest, The Grand Armee and The Wehrmacht, with high loss of life and Moscow burned in 1812. Then there's the whole Holodomor event which Putin, I believe, glossed over and was a big reason for Ukrainians viewing the Nazis as liberators and joining them to fight the commies. Ukraine-Russian history is quite complicated, much too complicated for our State Department and those in this Administration. Posted by: RickZ at February 10, 2024 01:37 AM (emlEe) 322

To this day, I feel we missed a great opportunity after the Wall fell and Yeltsin took over. But our stupid Cold Warrior neocons couldn't take the 'W' and wanted to continue the conflict for monetary gain, hence the problem with NATO from Russia's perspective.

347, low IQ is a cheap shot. I probably shouldn’t have used it. I do think previous Russian leaders, or more intelligent, and more strategic than Putin. He has done something right as he is remained in office forever and I guess he will for life. He seems to know the few chords to strike to keep his country behind him, and he keeps repeating those chords.
I’ve studied more Russian in history than the average person and the one thing I know about Russian history is pain. Putin has delivered a lot of pain to his own people and he will continue continue to do so for as long as he is in charge. Posted by: Quint at February 10, 2024 02:05 AM (1ZO6t) 350

Y5. The ONLY time I've seen the Horde step up against your "speech".
When was you focused on antagonizing The Horde by means of micro-argumentative nonsensical picayune antagonisms, which you could dissect by means of your (admittedly) superior argumentative skills. Vs. any really heavyweight debates over Adam Smith or Thomas Sowell or even P.J. O' Rourke. When you weigh in with your not inconsiderable intellect on subjects which really matter, you'll notice, there's hardly a pip or squeek issued in objection, thereof. You can really f'kn' MATTER, when you choose to join the debates which really DO f'kn matter. And that's when you're really at your f'kn, best, too, you know. Ditch the picayune. You don't need to GO there.

Okay, first of all, I lied, I am not 29. I seem to remember doing a report about Russia in the sixth grade. It was a team project and a good friend of mine was smart and an artist, we liked working together. Anyway I am pretty sure that we referenced Ukraine as part of Russia. We got an A on the project no matter how misguided we were.

346 339, you make a fair point there, but Bill Clinton certainly has a higher IQ in Putin. Hillary so angry and shrill all the time, but would be difficult to try to discern an IQ separate from her bitterness. I was saying previous Russian leaders had higher IQs than Putin.

Posted by: ZOD at February 10, 2024 02:51 AM (5HQE5) He's swapped out the whole apparatus and it's getting worse as he loses his front teeth. He shaves every night and has the mask strapped as tight as possible, but I suspect his airflow is not what the mask was designed for (he's already had sinus surgery and a uvulectomy). The VA is willing to pay for his dental work, but his provider has to be approved and that could take another two months. So, we wait... and I try to sleep on the couch.

In this day and age, there’s no excuse for a CPAP that leaks regularly. I have seen loved ones and people you’re dealing with and they’re constantly leaking constantly making noise and it seems impossible to get them to fit, right. But when you use it on yourself and your fit, it is easy to get it done. my only point is this, have the provider fix it because in this day and there’s no reason why a CPAP can’t fit properly and work properly. A lot of people in this industry. Don’t want to go the extra mile so you have to lead them.

Tell you what; tell a Ukrainian immigrant that they are Russian. See the response you get.
I knew a couple of Ukrainian families in the '50s. They distinguished themselves from Russians then. I worked with three guys (techs) in the '90s who bot really pissed if anyone thought they were Russian. This doesn't apply to the Crimea and vicinity, because Stalin imported a bunch of Russians to replace the Ukrainians he had starved out. Ukrainians have a real hard-on about Russians. Look up Holodomor. There's an area, today, labeled "Ukraine" where the people cal, themselves "Ukrainians". Do you think that Texas should be given "back" to Mexico because some map from the early 1800's has "Mexico" written over San Antonio. Fuck Putin and his megalomaniac delusions.

Understand that if you have to expand the jewelry you will need closing pliers to close the ring enough to hold the ball. BDSM and kink scenes come with the need for a great deal of concentration, a lot of emotional intensity, and physical requirements (such as dealing with pain, tying knots, etc.). Bringing up the rear, SM is a nod to sadism, or liking to inflict pain, and masochism, liking to receive it. Anti-abortion campaigners argue there is an alternative to legalising abortion which is better funding and support for pregnant women. We have been committed to better serving investors since 2013.

These HYIPs are considered low-risk because they have proven themselves over time. The local watering holes have been doing a booming business for years and there are now some twenty or so gay bars, nightclubs, cantinas, discotheques, martini spots and lounges, and all of them are in the unique part of the city known as the South Side, sometimes also referred to as the Romantic Zone or Old Town. In spite of the rainy weather the town is increasingly popular during the quieter summer months because of cheaper airfares and the word is out about what a great gay-friendly vacation destination the city has become.
