Before Nightfall A Corpse Was All That Was Left Of The ONT
Hello Horde! Boy, I'm glad I remembered to do the ONT earlier. Rehearsals start tonight for a play I'm appearing in in December. It's nothing you've every heard of, it was written by someone local and we're putting it on as a charity event for a local church. My character is “Texas oil man”, but I can't get Gingy (who is doing the costumes) to dress me as Doug Dimmadome, owner of the Dimsdale Dimmadome, which is just a huge letdown. Anyhow, on with the memes!

I suppose you *could* do that for the South Tower; if you ran around on as many of the upper floors as possible doing that before the first plane hit the North Tower, it might freak everyone out and convince them to evacuate. But that doesn't help the people in the North Tower.

I’m revising my debate scoring. My first impression was a tie, which I called a Harris victory.
But the only thing I recall about the debate today is “They’re eating the dogs.”
Visual. Scary. Viral. Memorable. Repeatable. And directionally correct in terms of unchecked immigration risk.
It’s the strongest play of the election.
Trump won the debate.
I gotta stop underestimating his game. Trump had no base hits in the debate but his long ball is still rising. Incredible.

They typically eat their sacrificial animals. This was a problem with the first wave of Haitians back in the 80s. Then, however, law enforcement actually enforced laws dealing with theft of pets, destruction of wildlife, and animal cruelty. So, it didn't last long.
Today our toothless LEOS do not uphold the law and allow politicians decrees and a violent lumpen proletariat to win the day. Crimes are now "equally valid culture". This is Obama's fundamental transformation of America, which he means to kill off . Remember his walking around with Fareed's book, The Post American World. It was not about "the rise of the rest" but about destruction.

Year ago, I worked on a mineral survey crew, and we were on a grassy hillside somewhere in the Cariboo district of B.C. The hillside was studded with large rocks, some as big as a baby elephant. We found it was quite easy to work them loose, and send them bounding down the hill. Some of them would bounce 40 feet in the air. Down the hill, across the gravel road, and into scrub brush with a nice crash. The road was scarcely used, so we did not endanger any cars.

I rarely get called in for jury duty. Since 1996, I've had to go in 4 or 5 times and never even came close to potentially sitting in that box. The closest was years ago when it was an eviction (I do LL/T law among other things), I knew the judge (as in he would know who i was by sight), and I knew the landlord's attorney casually. He saw me come in and asked if I wanted him to tell the judge he knew me. I said hell no. They'll send me back down to the jury pool room and with my luck, I'll get stuck on an asbestos jury (which would take weeks to months). They selected the jury by 4 pm without me and that was it for my yearly service.

It is the ritual of becoming a "Shellback" as I recall.
Naval tradition was a day long hazing of all sailors ("polliwogs" )that had never crossed the equator in front of "Neptune"(Usually the Chief of the boat.) who submitted the said polliwogs to crawling through trash tubes filled with the scraps from the galley and oil spankings from the Chief Boatswain's Mates and then prostrating themselves on the hot deck in front of Neptune before finally being granted the status of Shellback.

8:35 Walk into South Tower in uniform, order receptionist to call the tower security chief.
8:42 Tell the tower security chief that there is actionable intelligence that planes will be flown into the buildings and that a classified study shows they will collapse and need to be evacuated immediately
8:46 BOOM! See! This tower is next. Get everyone out!
I don't think there is anything you can do for the North Tower that would give you instant believability to get them to evac before the first plane hit. The "bomb threat" call would more likely result in a shelter in place than an evacuation.

Enter Vice Admiral Edward Vernon — respectfully nicknamed “Old Grog” after a grogram cloak that he preferred to wear. He was revered and beloved for always fighting for better conditions for sailors in the fleet. But, he was struggling with a problem. As a result of his sailors getting undiluted rum twice a day, his officers were constantly dealing with drunkenness and disciplinary problems with their crews. He made a decision on how best to deal with these concerns.
Vernon issued Captain’s Order No. 349 on August 21st of 1740 which stated that all rum provisions must be mixed with water. And those members of the crew “which... are good husbandmen may from the saving of their salt provisions and bread, purchase sugar and limes to make it more palatable to them.” Furthermore, the rum was to be diluted in the presence of a Lieutenant of the Watch on the deck in a scuttled (open) butt reserved for this purpose.

Equator festivities were a tradition on passenger ships too. The sailors would put on a show by the swimming pool. Some random passengers would end up in the water. I experienced it as a young lad in 1954 (Mombasa to Genova via Suez).

Grant is supposedly the least intelligent, which I don't believe, followed by Harding and Bush Jr, which I do. Monroe is down there too although I don't know much about that one.
I'd have marked Madison as a buffoon based on how he mishandled the 1812 fracas and almost lost Louisiana. Somehow he has 160 where Andrew Jackson has 145.
Overall, I get the impression the study is a smelly load of feces.

Have a Shellback 'diploma' on my wall, from 1912. Got it from a elderly family friend when she was moving and was going to throw it out; I think it was her father's. I asked if I could take it and I did, and that was over 50 years ago. The picture frame is old, heavier than any picture frame I've ever bought/had made.
I checked out its worth. They are, unfortunately, very common. Now that I think about it, the frame may be worth more than the shellback diploma.

Another tentative self-correction. Yesterday I said the USS Connecticut lost track of its position while transiting the South China Sea, resulting in its collision with a seamount. Reading the heavily redacted report again, I'm a bit confused, as the main failures were in route planning, sounding (depth finding), and related procedures. I may be remembering an analysis of the report by an expert former bubblehead, who treated the prolonged and uncorrected continuation of the voyage even as sounding data indicated they were off course. Something like that.
And they indeed hit an uncharted "bathymetric feature". There are surveyed/charted sections ("swept areas") even in this region, but report says navigators were unaware of this (!).
Section of report completely omits what I clearly remember being discussed by analysts when it was released - the phone call that changed the San Diego-based commander's decision that the sub wasn't fit for deployment (call was with sub commander and overall boss in western Pacific). That part is kind of a big deal.

Haitian President (dictator) Francois "Papa Doc" Duvalier held himself out as a Voodoo (Voudou) priest.
He consciously imitated the look, and nasal voice, of Baron Samedi-- a principal Voodoo spirit.
Graham Greene wrote a novel about Haiti under Duvalier, "The Comedians." Duvalier didn't care for it. He made a curious statement in which he described Greene as "a mass murderer."

If printing by hand, as is my wont, I would use #7, too. Reason being, downstrokes are easier than upstrokes, for several good reasons. And having printed the letter preceding the "X", it makes sense from a kerning standpoint to make the first downstroke of the "X" start a known distance from the preceding letter. If you made the other downstroke first, it would be all too easy to mork up the spacing, as in this e xample.

in CA won his case against the district after they blocked him from a board position for being White.
"They're assuming that White employees are a problem that needs to be solved... My lawsuit is a victory for racial equality."

And this is why farmers who grow sweet corn will often put a few rows of feed corn around the perimeter of the field.
Because even before the USA was overrun with third-world savages, dickheads would steal crops right out of the fields. But non-third-world-savages would recognize the "wrong kind" of corn and leave the field alone.

I hated company cars. We always had to do gross-ups every year because they didn't want the executives paying anything for the car, including income taxes.

Somehow, I don't think we need to worry about "misgendering" the Apollo astronauts.

Mossberg 500 pump. 5 rounds in a tubular mag, absolutely reliable. I don't keep one in the chamber, unlike a pistol, because the sound of a pump action chambering a shell is distinctive, and has its own value as a deterant.

Assumes the past can be changed.
What if the past is immutable? Then a time-traveler would be like a ghost - perhaps able to see and hear - but unable to alter anything, communicate or so much as bring back a leaf or blade of grass.
Maybe that's what ghosts (or ufos) really are....

Just reading, the Kamala-Biden administration's delay of the next Starship test is going to mess up the schedule for getting the Starship HLS, the moon lander, ready.
Which may be part of the point. Fuck up Elon.

Assuming anyone on board has any cash, you better hope those coins were printed in 1941 or before, which means it's gonna be pennies and nickels (though they went a lot further). Let's say you were too late to prevent the planes from taking off. I'd hit the carriers then get myself to Berkeley to talk nuclear physics with the folks at UC/B. They're the only ones who you might be able to convince not to have you arrested or some such.

Dropping rocks are one thing, sections of pavement another. 🤔 Maybe.
There were multiple levels beneath the Twin Towers, a hotel in between, parking, a mall of stores & services, many elevators, escalators, etc. I'd opt for calling the Port Authority Police because it could control all accesses, egresses.
Btw, an estimated 50,000 people worked in the World Trade Center, and another 140,000 visited the complex daily. It had its own zip code!
On 9/11, my employer was planning to fire an employee who took a girlfriend to a work conference and then beat her up the last evening. However, the morning of 9/11, that same employee pushed a wheelchair bound coworker in building 5 out & down a nearby street. The employer was forced to recognize the good deed and keep the guy employed. It kept them both quite busy watching one another for years following.
An 8 xing. (A walmart 2 in real life.)
Good nite, all!

23andMe to pay out $30m after biodata of 7MILLION customers stolen by hackers and sold on dark web
Just a thought. The lefty media and Harvard mathematicians, plus all their supporters will say:
$30 million spread out over 7 million then it's $4 million each. This type of payout calculation has been done before.

The site, run by two federal agencies, helps voters register and check their registration status
GSA is one of the two agencies, the other is an "independent." Yeah, the same GSA that couldn't properly pack and ship - especially documents - for PDT during the Biden transition. Oh, that's right! Maybe not for Biden either.

LOL!
Some years ago, a group of young coworkers *decorated* another employee's car (with his permission and approval) using cardboard, duct tape & spray paint...
It was hilarious and awesome! They put on some fins and a hood scoop, and whatever you call that 'wing' apparatus on the trunk. Car was rattle-can gray & black anyway, so all the flat black painted cardboard just sort of looked right. Hahaha, we all gawked at it & admired their spirit.
Silly kids. LOL

Now the only thing to worry about is flight 11. Key is to get everyone in the building below the 91st floor--nobody survived above that. Need to convince security not to let anyone get in the elevators. Maybe tell lobby security there's a bomb on the 91st floor. Surely there must be security stationed in the upper floors that they could call to evacuate. If not I would go to the 91st floor and above, announcing free breakfast on the 89th floor. Seriously, free food is the one thing that gets people to move, even rich people.
