Sunday Overnight Open Thread (8/4/24)
Quote I “While swimming under the bridge, I felt and saw things that we shouldn’t think about too much,” Belgium’s Jolien Vermeylen
Quote II "Not every weapon makes Germany immediately safer," Rolf Mützenich, the parliamentary leader of Scholz’s Social Democratic Party (SDP)
Quote III “We were surprised by the magnitude of the shift,” he said. “I think early in the pandemic trust likely increased above pre-pandemic levels, but it certainly came way down over the course of the pandemic.” Roy H. Perlis, MD, MS,
Seattle has been crowned the smartest city in the U.S., with Miami and Austin ranking closely behind, according to a recent study.
What did Franklin say? “God grant that not only the love of liberty but a thorough knowledge of the rights of man may pervade all the nations of the earth, so that a philosopher may set his foot anywhere on its surface and say: This is my country.”
More Than Half Say the First Amendment 'Goes Too Far'
This is certainly one of the more disappointing polls that we've seen in a while. A recent survey being reported on at Reason Magazine found that more than half of Americans feel that they have too many civil liberties. More specifically, they believe that the First Amendment rights granted to citizens by the Founders "go too far." Democrats were more likely to say this than Republicans, but both groups rang up a score of more than half who agreed with that sentiment. So when did our fundamental freedoms begin going out of style? Is totalitarianism really becoming more popular? We'll take a look at these questions here today.
It's true. Obama is running for President. Is this his fourth try?
WASHINGTON, Aug 2 (Reuters) - Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign has added three new senior advisers, including top strategists who guided Democratic former President Barack Obama's two winning U.S. presidential bids, a source with direct knowledge said on Friday.
David Plouffe, who was manager of Obama's presidential campaign in 2008 and a senior aide during his 2012 re-election victory, joined Harris' campaign for president as a senior adviser, the source said.
This past week was Rush Limbaugh's national radio debut anniversary. I miss Rush's humor......... Fitting song below in light of the previous story about Kamala The San Francisco Headhunter's campaign.
Is this a case of too little, too late? ANARCHY IN THE UK: Riots in Major Cities, Protesters Storm Migrant Hotel.
Two police officers were hospitalized following clashes between protesters and counter-demonstrators in the southwest city of Bristol this weekend. One officer was struck on the head with a chair, and another was kicked off his motorcycle in scenes similar to those that have broken out all across the nation. The recent wave of protests comes in reaction to a triple homicide in Southport, where three young girls were killed at a Taylor Swift-themed dance party.
On this day: August 4, 1964 - The Kinks
The Kinks released 'You Really Got Me' on Pye Records in the UK. The influential distortion sound of the guitar was created after guitarist Dave Davies sliced the speaker cone of his guitar amplifier with a razor blade and poked it with a pin. The song became the group's US breakthrough hit reaching No.7 later in the year. Via this dayinmusic.com
Born on this day: August 4, 1901 - Louis Armstrong
Louis Armstrong, singer, bandleader, trumpet. Had many hits including the 1964 US No.1 'Hello Dolly!', 1968 UK No.1 'What A Wonderful World’ plus ‘When The Saints Go Marching In’, ‘Ain't Misbehavin’, and ‘We Have All the Time in the World.’ Died 6th July 1971. Via thisdayinmusic.com
We have enough trouble with the war on cancer. We certainly didn't need Turbo Cancer. Thanks a lot Moderna.
Moderna Admits Covid mRNA Shots Cause Cancer Documents have emerged that show Moderna has always known that the pharmaceutical giant’s Covid mRNA shots cause cancer. The evidence has surfaced as cases of rapidly developing “turbo cancer” are continuing to surge around the world. As Slay News has reported, cancer diagnoses have been soaring among those who have received Covid mRNA shots.

The aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln steamed into Naval Base Guam over the weekend for a port call ahead of its mission to the Middle East.
The carrier arrived Sunday with its strike group, according to information posted on the Defense Visual Information Distribution System and Naval Base Guam’s Facebook page.
“The carrier is making its first scheduled port visit for 2024 to Guam to provide the crew time to tour the island, get some rest and relaxation, and participate in several community service events,” the Facebook post said.
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin ordered the Abraham Lincoln to the Middle East, where U.S. forces are assembling to forestall an attack against Israel, according to a Pentagon statement Friday from spokeswoman Sabrina Singh.

Anyone note that when people explain how "qualified" Kamala Harris is, they always just recite the elected offices she's held - San Francisco DA, California attorney general, Senator, and Vice President.
They never discuss what she actually accomplished while holding those positions.

Make no mistake about this, the scenes today in #Belfast are a historic moment.
For Republican, Catholic Irish to stand shoulder to shoulder with Loyalist, Protestant English is something to behold and these images will be seen in history books to future generations.
This is something to build on against a common enemy that is mass immigration of Islamic extremism.
Irish and English are not targeting each others kids, they are not targeting our women on the streets and they are not killing our brave men taking up arms in the defence forces.
Our governments in both the UK and Ireland have opted for divisive, race baiting, two tier polices and policing and it's only outcome is an impending race war, which is not something we've ever wanted.
We demand safe streets and peace!

WASHINGTON, Aug 2 (Reuters) - Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign has added three new senior advisers, including top strategists who guided Democratic former President Barack Obama's two winning U.S. presidential bids, a source with direct knowledge said on Friday.
David Plouffe, who was manager of Obama's presidential campaign in 2008 and a senior aide during his 2012 re-election victory, joined Harris' campaign for president as a senior adviser, the source said.
Gee whiz, why isn't Robbie Mook also advising her?

Whatever you're going to do in such a ghastly situation you'd better do it damned quick. When that creature of the devil begins tightening around your neck you will quickly pass out due to no blood to the brain. But maybe you'll be conscious long enough to feel your larynx being crushed, then your neck vertebra crushed, and so on. Not a good way to go if you ask me.

The rioting, to this point, has been very much in-line with how major rebellions and revolutions kick off. As far as I can tell, the Rwandan murderer was not a Muslim, so this can't be pinned on that community, but it's very common in those past episodes for the inciting event not to be directly related to the broader problem.
Or perhaps more accurately, it's been lumped in with that broader problem: invasion, replacement, etc.
I wouldn't be surprised for this to continue escalating in the pattern of those other mass uprisings.

He also thinks Whitmer might just decide to let things play out in MI to screw Kamala over and set herself up for '28.
I was required by my employer to get the Moderna vaccine, btw. Still have my "proof of vaccination" card.

hmmmm Need to work on this. Government spending is bad but the Left funds its flunkies - turnabout is fair play...
Its intentional. The GOPe does not want to win.
If there was an opposition party they'd be looking to fund their voters and to tax/destroy their opponents just like the Democrats do.
Trump's SALT limits were a start. But only a tepid start.

The junta doesn't want him gone. And they don't want their media resources talking about election fraud with the 2024 election coming up.
Maduro is no different from Lula who is no different from Biden.

There was a heavy dose of spite involved in that election. Though I'd have to go back and look at the raw numbers, most Tory voters from last time either stayed loyal or voted Reform, rather than vote Labour; however, there was a healthy contingent of Brits whose main desire (and I can't fault them for this) was to punish Sunak and company for repeatedly lying to them and just playing neoliberal business as usual.

Another note on our catastrophic government:
"It is now almost ten years since NASA handed Boeing a contract to develop a vehicle to transport crew to and from the ISS.
John Mulholland, then Boeing VP and Program Manager for Commercial Crew and now Boeing's Program Manager for the ISS, said: "We're on track to fly in 2017, and this critical milestone moves us another step closer in fully maturing the CST-100 design.""
theregister.com
Ten years ago they got the contract. In the meantime Musk has got a crewed ship docked at ISS and another on the way. But BOEING has the contract.
"Meanwhile, a NASA spokesperson told Ars the US agency is "evaluating all options." It's thought those possible options include using a SpaceX capsule to do what Starliner right now can't – bring back its pair of pilots."

What I learned today--
If owning a snake, the best practice is to implant a remotely detonated explosive charge inside its skull, a lá what Amanda Waller had set up for The Suicide Squad. Never approach within 30 ft (9 m) of said snake without detonator accessible.

1) There's historical proof she claimed her Indian ancestory without claiming her biracial heritage. In a forum for black people it was perfectly legitimate.
2) The crowd obviously laughed at his comment so it landed well.
3) The whole discussion revives the whole she's an unqualified DEI hire - Biden openly admitted DEI criteria when picking her.
4) It's a subtle jab at the incessant identity politics of the Left - a luxury people don't care about when they can't afford necessities.

He doesn't need to convince the crowds at his own rallies, obviously.
The problem I see is, if he's talking about that stuff, then he's NOT talking about something else that voters really care about, such as her record on the open border disaster, or her opposition to fracking & energy independence... and 10 other things where he could call attention to her awfulness.

I think it looks silly too but it's real.

Dressage is an analogue, as is spear chucking, wrestling and hop, skip and jump, to war maneuvers/skills. War horse.

Welp, if they came by at full speed shooting guns from underneath the horse's neck I could be convinced. Plus rodeo clowns.

Beautifully posed fall photo somewhere around the east coast MisHum? Early 60's would be my guess. But even then, Marxists and Commies were working to infiltrate all of our cultural, Academic, and political institutions.

Both strategies work.
You can say "look at the mess our Border Czar made!" and get angry (R) leaners out to the ballot box.
Or you can say "look at the Indian in Blackface appropriating your culture!" and get woke (D) leaners to stay home.
I'll give you credit that the former is overall better, since "(D) leaners who don't vote" can still be fraudulently counted.

mnw, he talked about jobs. Voters tend to be focused on one thing. Jobs is a big one. When he talked to the evangelicals he talked about preserving rights and protecting women and children.
I care about fracking, but most people care about jobs and protecting women. Talking about fracking at the NABJ he would have been talking to another group other than the participants at that conference, which is a dick move, and very tin eared.
He is hitting the things he has to hit for each audience to earn their botes, not like Kamalol who is mostly talking to her donors no matter who she is talking up.

The "Press" was a thing when the Constitution was written.
Not a group of people. Same as "Arms" in the second.
Many of the Press (as is a printing press) were controlled by the churches.
It's why they are in the same amendment.
The "press" had nothing to do with the people, especially the "yellow journalists" of the Robber Barron era. The basis for the amendment was formed in the attempts to censor "The Press" from the first landing of a press in the Americas.
I agree, to an extent, that the Weaponized Stupidity we see now is a direct result of giving idiots the same status as a labor intensive machine that, with shit tons of work could produce a document/pamphlet/book in 1775.
I've worked in a Press that every page had to be typeset.
Reading backwards!! with spaces filled and everything straight.
Most shitheads spouting their shit nowadays have no idea what 800 words meant when our founding fathers contemplated it.
Now 140 words can set off a riot.

>>I'm uneasy about what Trump has done lately.
I grew up right outside NYC and Trump was a fixture in the media for as long as I can remember. Through sheer force of will he built a brand that was known around the world long before he became president and it wasn't based on just talk, he delivered. He has an ego the size of the sun but he mostly delivers.
When he first ran in 2016 the entire Republican establishment tried to cancel him. I also thought it was a publicity stunt. He is now the undisputed leader of the Republican Party and his team runs the RNC. In 8 years he has completely changed the face of politics in the US and how the world sees the US. He is one of the most consequential political figures in US history and by far the smartest in my lifetime along with being a master marketer.
Marketing is a skill just like building a bridge is skill. People who denigrate it can't do it. It's way past time to stop thinking Trump just keeps getting lucky or has no idea what he's doing. He obviously does. He doesn't shoot from the hip, he does things for a reason.

and that's what he does. As you say, he talks with the audience at hand. He doesn't talk about what he wants he talks about what they want.

Did you know that early in the summer of 1988, Dukakis was leading Bush41 by 17 points in some polls?
Dukakis was successfully introducing himself to voters as a highly effective technocrat. How did 41's campaign stop that in its tracks & turn it around?
With a laser focus on the worst, most radical aspects of Dukakis' record.
The attack has to be focused better, imo.

Seeing some of the comments reminded me of this (from AP News):
Only one of the Trump-Nixon letters was widely known about previously — a two-sentence December 1987 note that Nixon writes after his wife saw Trump on Phil Donahue’s talk show. Pat Nixon thought Trump did “great,” Nixon writes.
“As you can imagine, she is an expert on politics and she predicts that whenever you decide to run for office you will be a winner!” Nixon adds.

My favorite Louis Armstrong anecdote, true or not: when asked how he learned to play that that way he replied "nobody told me I couldn't."
In my thick head that is America right there and why American 20th century music killed of European musical dominance.

Thanks for the Louie Armstrong, MisHum. I really needed it after this past week. After many days of agony and tests, I am now home again with a spiffy new back brace. No lifting, no bending, no twisting, no nothin'! I surrendered on the walker issue so am now tooling around with one of those spiffy ones you can sit on when you get tired. Himself is being snotty about the walker. "You wouldn't use one when I wanted you to!" "Yeah, but you never said the magic word -- paralysis! "
Evidently, some time during the past couple of years, I cracked or did something else weird to one of my vertebrae. With any luck to speak of, by faithfully wearing the brace, I will slide by without surgery or paralysis.
Jeez!!! I hate this getting old crap.

God bless Rush Limbaugh. Posted by: Braenyard at August 04, 2024 10:28 PM (CegSp)
I always felt bad he didn't have kids of his own to pass his humor and wisdom to. But then I realized that in a way, he did... "Rush babies" raised on his wisdom, many of whom went on to be inspired to start their own radio shows or podcasts.
There are hundreds of voices speaking conservative or libertarian ideas because of him. They are all different from him, and a mixed bag of intelligence and execution. No one quite touches what Rush brought to the table. But I'm glad they are all out there, trying to bring truth to any skull full of mush that will listen.

He had to first beat back the attack from that abc reporter, then he went on about who Harris is, and what she has done, and how it hurts the represented demographic, then went on to how he did better and how he will do better, to protect and promote them. The reporter was going full ethnic grievance group on him, and he pointed out how that was dumb and pandering by someone with no call on their loyalty.
That is a lot better than Romney, who decided to only pander to the donors and the safe voters.

My mom and her business partner raised and trained horses for both dressage and 3 day eventing which is like the all around competition in gymnastics. It includes dressage, stadium jumping and cross country. Same horse, same rider.
Rodeo is great but it's an F-150. A good 3 day event horse is like a 4 wheel drive Ferrari. Cross country almost killed Superman. It's a lot harder than it looks and there aren't any clowns.

Marketing is a skill just like building a bridge is skill. People who denigrate it can't do it. It's way past time to stop thinking Trump just keeps getting lucky or has no idea what he's doing. He obviously does. He doesn't shoot from the hip, he does things for a reason.

Polynikes, I really really liked Fall Guy. I was sad it didn't do well in theaters, especially since Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt were both coming off Oscar buzz for Barbie and Oppenheimer. Great date film, lots of action, romance, and nothing too woke or inappropriate. The mystery/everyman in peril plot wasn't breaking new ground, but I don't expect these movies to do that, just be fun.
I was surprised they let the villain actually BE the villain. I get the sense the director (a stunt guy) is less woke that the rest of Hollywood and just wanted to deliver a fun love letter to the stunt people.

A 56 Buick, this year.
Few things would be nicer than a fully optioned 56 Roadmaster, made of modernish rust resistance steel and powered by a circa 2005 truck V8 and automatic overdrive transmission. 20ish MPG on freeway, about 275 hp so fast enough, rides like cloud, has plenty of room, handles ok on near factory size modern radial tires, and lasts 200-250k with modern oil changes. What the future SHOULD have been.

One of my ongoing listens is The Complete Hot Five & Hot Seven Recordings, Vols 1 and Vols 2. In those recordings Louis Armstrong and his band utterly define 20th century Jazz. The recordings are profoundly original, profoundly defining, and profoundly musical.
I try to put my ears in that moment and grasp that I had never heard anything like that before in my life and that from this time forward nothing in music would ever be the same. I never succeed at doing that but what I have taken from the exercise repeatedly is some tack sharp ears for what comprises great music and great performance.
Everything in Jazz after that was a variation and expansion of the bands music. One doesn't grasp that right away; you have spend a few years with them and then one day you wake up in bed in the middle of the night and go damn.

Nobody is infallible. I didn't say he was. But he's also not the clown that many of his detractors say he is. I'm so old I remember when Ron was going to take him down in the primary. Ron spent $150 million to lose Iowa. Super.
I don't agree with every move Trump makes and his ego is annoying but he also has shown that he has more staying power than any candidate for the biggest job in the world than any of us have seen in our lifetimes and that can't be denied. He came out of nowhere, no political family to carry him, no part of the party to support him, and one everything. If we didn't have such a biased media what he did would be widely recognized as one of the greatest political accomplishments in the history of this country and he's still going.
I flatly reject the "Trump doesn't know what he's doing" because it's obviously wrong. I was told before the Biden debate Trump was a dummy for agreeing to debate on CNN and now Joe is history. I don't have to agree with every move Trump makes to admit he's one of the best to ever play this game. Because he is.

Maybe we'll get lucky and Kamala falls into that trap. She's stupid enough.

The image which precedes the content of this thread which is only to be understood as open in the context of the night, is most pleasant. It is evident that the Autumnal Equinox has made its entry into the lives of the subjects, and all about is the beauty of an impending death in all its melancholy radiance. Soon comes the cold and the darkness of the abyss. These are stirring thoughts of good cheer for Werner.
Earlier this week, while I was visiting the grave of Mississippi's loathsome scribbler William Faulkner so that i might scream at and berate him for his disregard for punctuation and abominable indulgence of stream-of-consciousness run-on sentences that continue for pages (Absalom. Absalom alone is enough to merit his place in Hell - seriously, calling a character a "man-horse-devil?) I -wait, this sentence nears that which I would condemn. Curse you, Faulkner and your infernal influence.
Werner must begin again. Shall we deem this comment one, with a successor to follow sequentially?

381 Kameltoe will not debate Trump unless it is hosted by a Secure Left Wing Propaganda Network.
Trump is kinda in a box on this but should stick to his guns...
"Look, I debated FJB on a Secure Left Wing Propaganda Network"...
"This time, we will debate on a marginally center network"...Emphasis on MARGINAL...otherwise GFY."

If Kamala and her Handlers have a combined IQ greater than 20 she'll never debate Trump. They'll claim the failure to agree on debate details and a date is because Trump is a coward. The Lapdog Media will play along.

I don't think it is controversial to criticize Trump. I just think one should expect to hear why others do not share your assessment. You think it's a distraction and we're pointing out that it is a successful line of attack in the Black community.
Posted by: Iris at August 04, 2024 11:49 PM (n3DL0)
That remains to be seen. If it actually does result in reduced black support for Kamala (i.e. fewer votes), well and good. But I've heard that line before, and have yet to see it actually pay off.

The medical community didn't cover themselves in glory during the MkUltra business with the gubbmint contracts for "psychic driving" and LSD/Cattle Prod sleep deprivation experiments. Inmates were kept tripping for 77 days in one incident, and not allowed to sleep, and hypnotized, etc.
Supposedly they were trying to research something something about POWs and brainwashing, but it looks more like they just decided to torture the hell out of a whole bunch of people without any sort of informed consent or follow up. Military personnel, prisoners, etc. A lot of really weird stuff sort of followed these spook psychiatrists around, and this was in the early 1950s. They took up right where the not sees left off, taking everything lock stock and barrel. Chemical and biological warfare specialists, propaganda experts, they spent a king's ransom diving right in.
Elaborate cutouts for funding, nobody really knew who was paying for what. Besides, who cares? If you're a University researcher, and the money comes through for a study, well who are we to argue?

My mom and her business partner raised and trained horses for both dressage and 3 day eventing which is like the all around competition in gymnastics. It includes dressage, stadium jumping and cross country. Same horse, same rider.
Rodeo is great but it's an F-150. A good 3 day event horse is like a 4 wheel drive Ferrari. Cross country almost killed Superman. It's a lot harder than it looks and there aren't any clowns.

>> I flatly reject the "trust Trump and don't worry, he knows what he's doing" philosophy. Is he smarter than his enemies give him credit for? Obviously. That does not mean he's infallible
One of the things that helped him succeed in business was building a solid, trustworthy team to execute his vision. Unfortunately as POTUS he didn't know who to trust, and which congresscritters and cabinet creatures were secretly gunning for him to fail while smiling to his face. (It was disappointing to learn Kellyanne Conway was one of them, after running his 2016 campaign. I wonder when she turned.) Some of that is on him. Hopefully he's wiser this time around.

Huge in California Democratic politics. He was probably some sort of rogue spook or .... something. Somewhere along the way they got heavily into cults and demonology and all that stuff. A lot of the California cults seemed to be awfully well organized and funded to be grass roots organizations. Illicit organizations may have uses, as for blackmail or extortion.

So here has Werner resumed:
Es tut mir leid for the previous derail. Is it an empirically objective truth that Kamala Harris is running for the office of President in your republic? Granted, the current occupant is a dimly sentient potato, but are people in this nation really to accept that a cackling creature of uncertain attainments and an adversarial relationship with veracity seen as fit to serve?
Werner is puzzled. I had long believed that Alexandria Ocasio Cortez was an experiment to see if the 14th district of New York would vote for and elect a Muppet, but some have assured me that she was real. At first I remonstrated with them, insisting that I would not fall for such a blasphemy again as I had done when all urged me to believe that the leathery cadaver known as Nancy Pelosi was human. Nein, I told them, I won't get fooled again. Then I donned a pair of aviator's shades while The Who blared "Yeaaaahhhh" in the background. David Caruso, thus are you avenged. If Ocasio Cortez is real, then the cryptid known as Kamal might be real as well. Werner needs cognac, and may have been remembering a CSI spin-off.

>>Snake 'expert' strangled to death by own 13ft python 'made fatal rookie mistake'
Amanda Ruth Black, 25 was trying to give her pet python, Diablo some medication when the beast turned on her at her Virginia Beach home before wrapping itself around her neck
"expert" and (age)"25" should not be in the same sentence. I'm sorry, no.
We have a dude in the neighborhood who owns 6 snakes. How do I know? He takes them for walks. Like, tooling around the block with a big 'ol golden python(?) worn like a wrap (across back of neck, then looped around each bicep. And he tells you has 5 more at home. Another time he was walking the dog and thought he was holding a dog toy, but it was a smaller snake looped around his hand and wrist. Gah!
Might as well wear a tee that says "Ask me about my snakes. PLEASE!"

This is nonsense. I think a significant number of people saw the literal red flag go up when the World Health Organization ran interference for China while simultaneously refusing to acknowledge the legitimacy and actual country name, Taiwan.
By the way....those Opiods that made their way into all cracks and crevices of the US didn't just pop out of a hole. They were prescribed (for the most part) by doctors. And, those ultra-resistant bacterial diseases didn't just become such overnight. Cause and effect....over use of antibiotics by physicians seeking a quick buck might have been involved.

I don't like judging parents solely by how their kids turn out. I know plenty of amazing parents with a bum of a son, a Fredo or a Hunter. Kids make choices.
The big difference seems to be that Trump doesn't enable his relatives, he tries to help them but also expects accountability, whereas Biden and Obama don't with their kids. I remember hearing Ivanka say she didn't just get blank check for school trips or vacations, she had to earn the money for it herself. And all the Trump kids had to put in the work behind the scenes or on construction sites to be allowed to join the family business.
Apparently the nephew(?) who just wrote the tell-all book did so because Trump family cut him off from the money trough due to poor choices and Fredo behavior, and the book is his hissy fit with a paycheck.

Keep in mind, Chuck wasn't IC either. But he was under the umbrella of a NIH cutout "study", and lived right around the corner of the Free Berkely Clinic, along with Charlie's angels, and a government grant to study "communal living".
There's a reason Charlie never got busted for Federal parole violations. It's a little bit strange to start running underage prostitution rings, credit card theft rings, car theft rings, drugs, vice, and general weapons violations, and burglary charges and not sort of you know, invite some questions.
I bet if you dig around with Jones, he was some sort of asset. Maybe he didn't know he was an asset, but ....

391 The new Labour Government is off to the worst start of any new British Government in history. 2 weeks and the country is racked with riots. Kier Starmer, the new PM, tried to calm things down by telling the rioters that he’s going to send his police door to door to round them up. That’ll calm things down. Sure it will.

PM Starmer is also constantly blaming the "right wing" for the riots. Only Nigel Farage pushed back on it.

If the idiots wondering about the lack of trust in the medical profession it might have something to do with things like at the height of the pandemic my third child was born in Atlanta’s largest hospital and only sign of the pandemic was the masks and insane social distancing rule. No panic, crowding, piles of corpses, lines of ambulances…. Just idiotic rules to contain a not very dangerous virus. Just might have something to do with it.

>>The idiots wondering why the public does not trust the medical profession anymore probably don’t understand why they don’t believe studies that show Seattle is the smartest city in the US.
We lived through the *air quotes* mostly peaceful "summer of love" where Seattle allowed their Gen Z geniuses create their own sovereign utopia that then devolved into a murderous warlord run dumpster fire in, like, a minute.
Even before that we had Obama talking about "smart power" in his diplomacy (big fail), and Silicon Valley pushing "smart" appliances in "smart" homes that essentially allow a third party to monitor and control your daily lives via the internet.
"Smart". They keep selling us so-called "smart" things. I do not think they know what that word means.

Any boats blow up? Of course not. Hydros in the 1960s were peak hydros. WWII Rolls Engines juiced with nitro - could hear them all the way to Bellevue. And that thing about no seatbelts for the drivers, that was always interesting. Over the years my Dad knew most of those people because he did custom machine work for them. This lead to him joining Chuck Hickling's Tempus crew for the last years Chuck ran his boat (his last race was at age 60). Chuck was the last of Owner/Builders and after that Hydros became reliable, turbine powered, and boring as hell by comparison. My Dad almost inherited Chuck's estate which included the Tempus, the shop, and a pile of engines. At the last minute a shoe string relative contested the will and won.

If your burning times pantry has a significant inventory of rice and/or dried beans you better have a good reliable source of water.

Don't buy 50 pounds of Rice unless you already like Rice, and know how to store it, and make it. Brown rice will not keep longer term, it might tend to go rancid where a polished, white rice may not. Maybe a 20 pound bag of brown rice in the freezer. It is good stuff, I like it with red beans.
If you have real protein to go with, like Beef or Chicken, you're really doing well. Andouille is hard to get the good stuff. Rice and beans makes a "complete" protein, sort of, but you can feel your body working it. It must take an extra step or two in there to combine it.

Someone did the math once and said he was making over $200,000,000 per year on advertising.
His response was 'that's way low.'

It's because of the relationship banks have with debt, there is no longer any link between assents in a bank via deposits accounts, and their loans, the loans instead are backed by the creation of credit via the Federal Reserve, and the more loans are created the more money is created out of thin air on the ledgers. banks have access to more money by loaning imaginary debt to a borrower, and the borrower creates the money by paying it back.
However a seven year jubilee doesn't work well in a 30 year loan monetary system, where bankruptcy laws do far better.
Jubiliees do better in a cash strapped society where most debts are "on ledger" and are carried against possible future debts instead of redeemable in cash.

I think another option for rice, grains, and beans, and pasta is to place it in a 5-gallon food-grade pail, snap the lid on, and run a hollow probe to the bottom, and inject the pail with carbon dioxide or argon. Or you could just place a small piece of dry ice in the bottom of the pail before filling it. When the gas stops issuing from the vent hole, cap it.

494 So, as soon as I could, during fourth period study hall, I put away my Slayer, Pantera, Suicidal Tendencies (et al) albums and turned on the Walkman (!) to 550 AM KTSA in San Antonio, that carried Limbaugh's show until 1200 WOAI started to carry it starting 25 years ago this week. I was impressed.

Interesting aside - note that WOAI is a 'W' station - even though it is west of the Mississippi. There are a few 'K' stations east of the Mississippi, KDKA in Pittsburgh I think (again...memory). They were chartered in the early days before the K/W convention came to be.

Speculation from Jewish sources is that an Iranian attack won’t happen until Tisha B'Av, the Jewish day of mourning, because the Iranians (and all the Muslims, really) are stupid about anniversaries that way. Falls on the12th of August this year.

Gives the US plenty of time to deploy more assets to the region. Strategy is not their strong point. Who needs strategies when they're convinced the 12th Imam's arrival is imminent.

I was on a sailboat at sea for a few days in 87 and came ashore in St John the day the market crashed. Went to Caneel Bay to find a phone because back then the whole cell phone thing didn't exist. Found a line of very freaked out Wall Street types lined up for the two pay phones. History doesn't repeat but it does rhyme.

What are the odds that someone starts running guns into Britain? To arm either side?
And the irish are burning down "hotels" that are housing or planning to house "The Immigrants".
The odds are that these troubles will bring the hammer down on the "Far Right" actors (think Jan 6th on steroids) and bring about a real authoritarian government in theUK, that a lot of people will clamor for. There are a plethora of bad outcomes to all of this.

Yes and no. Goat milk is different from cows milk and is a bit more tricky. It's more sensitive to temperature range. Most people who make goat cheese go for a soft cheese like Feta. I'm trying to make a hard cheddar. The advice from my friend who made cheese commercially was to persevere and keep trying.

coffee (heard the crop this year is failing)or your favorite caffeine source.Dried dairy. Heavy cream powder has a long shelf life. We like Anthony's brand. Avail on amazon.
Raw, local honey. Forget the honey bears at the store, that's cut with HFCS.
Canned meat. Canned fish. Peanut butter. Pet food. (Pet Rx...)
Other stuff: update your eyeglasses asap, if you can. If you use readers, go get a few more. Need new shoes? Winter boots? Good socks? [Underwear...?] Hard copies of important books.
Ivermectin. Quercitin. Mg. (all the other ones I can't think of) Batteries.

Rice stores well in plastic 1-gallon milk/OJ jugs (a 20lb bag fills 3 neatly) Store in a dry place.
Keeps for years. Just use your oldest stocks up first.

Of course, that article is from Newsweek, which is easily the dumbest magazine on the planet.

Wasn't Newsweek sold for $1 in recent yrs? I mean the whole company not one magazine. Too bad a conservative didn't buy it and turn it into something reputable.

Time it was,
And what a time it was
It was . . .
A time of innocence
A time of confidences
Long ago . . . it must be . . .
I have a photograph
Preserve your memories
They’re all that’s left you

Gives the US plenty of time to deploy more assets to the region. Strategy is not their strong point. Who needs strategies when they're convinced the 12th Imam's arrival is imminent.

Good to see another shortwave fan from back in the day! I assembled a lot of QSL cards and first came across a few numbers stations during the Seventies. I wonder if shortwave as a broadcasting medium is anything close to what it was back then, or if folks have mostly moved away from it.

Interesting aside - note that WOAI is a 'W' station - even though it is west of the Mississippi. There are a few 'K' stations east of the Mississippi, KDKA in Pittsburgh I think (again...memory). They were chartered in the early days before the K/W convention came to be.

Yes. In 1924 the rule that K meant a station west of the Mississippi and W meant a station east of the Mississippi went into effect. So, if you encounter anything different it shows how old your station is. I do not know the year WOAI was founded but it was definitely before 1924.

KDKA if memory serves is the oldest commercial radio station in the United States.
Shows how international conventions are with the United States. Radio station call letters starting with D? Germany. E? Spain. F? France. G? Britain. X? Mexico. C? Canada. J? Japan. H? Switzerland (Helvetia). When it came time to assign a letter for the United States, naturally we got K. Oh yeah, you're big. You need another letter. W it is. (WTF?)

Bought glue traps once when we had more mice in the garden than usual. Caught one under the kitchen sink. That was that.
Later used another one to catch a juvenile snake which found sanctuary in the most narrow space between a wall and a fixed cabinet. Fortunately, it was not a venomous snake.

They are efficient. Mice infested my garage. I caught 14 on glue traps and 2 on regular traps. I had so many mice that a neighborhood cat was hanging out on my porch. If it makes you feel any better, I checked the traps daily and used an hammer and wooden stake to quickly dispatch the mice.

I have an ultrasonic device that does a pretty good job of deterring the mice. That and the little boxes of poison bait outside. Around here the mice will bring deer ticks into the house. Or find a way into your service panel and build a nest.
So choice between disease or fiery death? Sorry, when it's kill or be killed they lose.
