Rescue Dogs Cafe
MassimoA dog rescuer takes his pack out for the morning jog. A channel I watch a lot is Sitting With Dogs. The guy, Rocky Kanaka, sits with dogs in shelters that need help -- dogs that are aggressive or afraid of people or too frightened to even move. Dogs that aren't going to get adopted, unless someone breaks them out of their shells. This was an especially cute one. The dog was neglected, or maybe was wild its whole life, and has a very bad case of mites. But five minutes in she starts getting very playful. Here's an update on her, or a "Pupdate." She's at a rescue now as she recovers from her bad mite infestation and learns how to be a dog. She's out in California, and if you like her, you might be able to adopt her. Partially paralyzed dog is able to run thanks to a wheelchair-like rig. Even dogs enjoy petting a dog. Giving a horse a groom. This video is upsetting: It's the GoPro video from a skier falling into a deep glacial ravine. I'm posting it, though, because, given that the video was recovered, I'm pretty confident the skier was recovered as well. Not recommended for claustrophobes or bathophobes. When you think you're rescuing a baby lizard but you get so much more. German shepherds play tag. The seed is strong. Some well-earned rest after a day of "commanding." Biking on the brink of a cliff.

How Japanese have produced wood for 700 years, without cutting down trees. Daisugi is an ancient Japanese forestry technique developed in the 14th century originally used by people living in the Kitayama region, because the territory was extremely poor in saplings. They planted cedars pruned in a special way to produce shoots that eventually would become perfect, straight, knot-free lumbers. The shoots are gently pruned by hand every two years leaving only the top boughs, allowing them to grow straight. Harvesting takes 20 years and old 'tree stock' can grow up to a hundred shoots at a time. There was actually another reason why the technique was developed: fashion. In the 14th century, a linear, stylized form of architecture known as sukiya-zukuri (数寄屋造りbecame popular, and every prominent samurai or nobleman wanted a house built in this way. There were simply not enough raw materials available to keep up with demand, so daisugi was developed to produce more wood in a shorter time. The wood produced with this technique has also impressive qualities: it's 140% more flexible than standard cedar and 200% denser and stronger. And, it's extremely durable.

BREAKING - Basketball great Dikembe Mutombo dies aged 58: NBA
Congolese-American basketball great Dikembe Mutombo, renowned as one of the best defensive players in NBA history, has died aged 58, the league announced on Monday.
Mutombo, an eight-time NBA all-star, passed away surrounded by his family after a battle with brain cancer, the league added.
“Dikembe Mutombo was simply larger than life,” NBA commissioner Adam Silver said of the 7ft 2in (2.18m) Hall-of-Famer in a statement.
“On the court, he was one of the greatest shot blockers and defensive players in the history of the NBA. Off the floor, he poured his heart and soul into helping others,” Silver added, noting Mutombo’s extensive humanitarian work.
Mutombo, who played 18 seasons in the NBA, worked tirelessly to improve living conditions in his native Democratic Republic of Congo through his personal foundation.

A person I know from work is actually from the Asheville area and he set up a gofundme account. He's in WI but he is going to fill up a trailer and haul supplies down. He's runs our cafeteria so he will be setting up and cooking food down there too.
Obviously you don't know me, but he's a stand up guy and I will vouch for him and I am going to donate my own $$ too. Sometimes it helps to have a referral when donating money.
I didn't want to just drop the link without checking with you since even though it's a good cause, it's a solicitation.

You have to be aware that the Japanese love these "140% stronger" type bullshit numbers. The popular "science" media are always talking about stuff being empirically better based on made up numbers and no one believes them since they all know it is bullshit. Not saying that there was no reason to do what they did (wood grows quicker if root system is already established. Similar practices of pollarding and coppicing were practiced in Europe.) Just that they did it because it grew faster.
Also, that bit about cutting off all but the crown is common woodsman practice to eliminate knots. They even have machines that run up the trees and trim the lower branches. I don't think it is done in modern commercial stands, but it is not such a big deal.
Oh, btw, Cedar is a soft-wood.

In my Japanese house all the trim is knot free, as are most of the posts. I should clarify that the posts are only knot free on one side -- the north side as the tree grew -- and they take special care to put those on the exposed side. They also hide the knotty posts in corners where they are not seen, or closets. The choicest posts are all beautiful clear wood.

In accordance with the decision of the political echelon, a few hours ago, the IDF began limited, localized, and targeted ground raids based on precise intelligence against Hezbollah terrorist targets and infrastructure in southern Lebanon. These targets are located in villages close to the border and pose an immediate threat to Israeli communities in northern Israel.
The IDF is operating according to a methodical plan set out by the General Staff and the Northern Command which IDF soldiers have trained and prepared for in recent months.
The Israeli Air Force and IDF Artillery are supporting the ground forces with precise strikes on military targets in the area.
These operations were approved and carried out in accordance with the decision of the political echelon. Operation “Northern Arrows” will continue according to the situational assessment and in parallel to combat in Gaza and in other arenas.
The IDF is continuing to operate to achieve the goals of the war and is doing everything necessary to defend the citizens of Israel and return the citizens of northern Israel to their homes.

A Teacher and a Terrorist:
Hamas Lebanon declared today that its leader in Lebanon, Fath Essharif, was killed in an Israeli airstrike in Tyre.
Fath Essharif was a principal and head of the @UNRWA teachers' association in Lebanon.
UNRWA, which was informed about his terror activities, put him on so-called "administrative leave" but refused to fire him.
It’s not an issue of a few rotten apples, as @UNLazzarini tries to describe. It’s a deeply rooted problem.
Israel War Room @IsraelWarRoom 7h
.@UNRWA chief @UNLazzarini claims he didn't know Fathi Sharif was a "commander" in Hamas's Lebanon branch.
What exactly did he think "holds a top leadership position in Hamas" meant?

Mary Ann was a young man's girlfriend. Obviously cuter, virginal, brunette, perky, and more enthusiastic.
Ginger was an experienced slightly older made-up bombshell type who had obviously been through the Hollywood casting couch trip and know what was expected of her. She would have known every page of the Kama Sutra, given and gotten it in ways only the sickest producers could summon up in their vile imaginations, been to orgys and probably been trafficked in ways that would make P. Diddy blush black. She could no doubt handle the whole male castaway contingent simultaneously while figuring a way to pleasure Mrs. Howell in the bargain.
But, yeah, an eternal dilemma.

Snuck her into Zion for a Backpacking trip and first night she runs into the camp when we are sitting around the fire ring and spits out a Penn 8 Tennis Ball.

Well, if you DO run a generator, you should open your main breaker from the utility, lest you inadvertently kill a utility worker out in the field.
But, people are stupid, so CA makes a law that will probably be ignored.
If you have an automatic system that will start up your generator, then yeah, a transfer switch is a necessary thing.

People at the marina where I used to keep my boat would bring balls for him. My boat was the last slip and as we'd go down the dock to get there he would stop to visit and get a ball. He would get so happy they would get a kick out of it. I had frigging tennis balls everywhere.

Last year, the FCC upheld its 2022 decision to deny SpaceX's @Starlink an $885 million subsidy to bring broadband to 642,000 Americans living in rural areas. FCC Chair Jessica Rosenworcel didn't think Starlink could deliver the promised service.
Today, Starlink is connecting over 7,700 new customers per day, FEMA is sending Starlink terminals to help victims in North Carolina due to Hurricane Helene, and the world's largest airlines are signing contracts to outfit their entire fleets with it. It has proven to be a reliable and fast service for millions of users.
The FCC had program requirements that Starlink didn't have to meet until 2025, yet the FCC Chair was unfairly making a prediction about whether Starlink would meet them or not years before the deadline. Starlink needed to show that it was more likely than not that it could provide high-speed Internet service (low-latency, 100/20 Mbps service) to at least 40% of the 642,000 rural premises by Dec 31, 2025. Starlink did that.
So why revoke that $885M award? It doesn't make any sense.
Posted by: andycanuck (CEzQx) at September 30, 2024 09:11 PM (CEzQx)
FCC Chair Rosenworcel suggested Starlink is not a trustworthy technology. If that were true, why are other parts of the U.S. government entering into large contracts with @SpaceX for Starlink service?
The FCC should reverse its decision, because if the government tries to connect these 642,000 people using fiber, it will cost 10 times more and take years longer. SpaceX's Starlink terminal production is ramping up so fast that they will be the largest printed circuit board manufacturer in the Americas within a few months. The biggest loser in all of this are those 642k people that could have fast internet much sooner.

The leaving of branches on the south side of the sapling is probably to avoid sun scald, which can happen when the winter sun heats up and damages the young, tender bark when the sap is either very cold, or just sunburns it.
In the PNW some small woodlands owners will limb their young trees up a good 20 feet to get knot free logs when harvested, upping the value to the harvest. It can take a bit of time to do, and there is the risk of sunscald damaging the trunk and reducing the value of the trees, especially on south facing slopes and at the edge of clearings or recently harvested units.

Hard to argue Jim Brown, since he did his running with far fewer games than Payton. And yes he was a very good QB on the run fake, getting a few TD passes every year it seemed.
Walter also did it with on the average worse teams. Luckily I don't have to choose, I'll pick both.

I think the distinction is that if the bullfighter hacked off the bull's head with one blow, that would be one thing but to torture the bull over a long time with slow wounds to draw out the suffering is a lot worse.

Because God gave us dominion over the animals, and they are on this earth for our use.
If you have a problem with that, take it up with God.

Dunno. I do know that the rookie league team in Billings was part of the Reds organization. Rob Dibble was there for a while.
I also have Walter Payton and Joe Montana on said very short list.

>>Chris Hall of the Y'all Squad said they've already installed more starlinks than FEMA plans to. They did Asheville yesterday and smaller towns today
Niiiiiice!
Who needs FEMA? Probably still running through the bureaucratic approval process thanks to the purely political cancellation of the earlier agreement.

If we all went vegetarian, the animals we currently use for food wouldn't be free, they'd cease to exist.

Bullfighting has a rich cultural history. It's a dance. It is about life and death. It is real.
I don't care for it. But it's not my history. So I won't go again. But I am thankful to have had the opportunity to witness.

Because they scream and squirm when you don't kill them first. Also, you have to kill them and butcher cattle before you hang them to age them.
TLDR: because I am squeamish
Posted by: Kindltot at September 30, 2024 09:50 PM (D7oie)
And spare me the argument that the bulls killed in bullfights are given as food to orphanages, etc.
If you’re going to slaughter cattle for food, just do it straightaway and be done with it. Don’t make entertainment out of it.

When I lived in PR there was a cock fighting, knock it off, place near my apartment. I went to see it once. Once.

Just because you don't like it doesn't make it bad or barbaric. It does make you seem like a self righteous man.

Actually had a FEMA inspection of Schloss Hadrian today, nearly three months after Beryl and after all the repairs were done. At least we may get reimbursed for the generator we bought.

It's just repeatedly stabbing a bull to death in tight pants.
Posted by: AlaBAMA
Obligatory (in case no one else has done it yet)
But, how do they get the bull into the tight pants?

Doesn’t mean they’re desirable or praiseworthy.
Posted by: Bulgaroctonus at September 30, 2024 09:55 PM (v6JzV)
Gah, what a waste!
We need a highly functioning FEMA, not yet another institution bogged down with the racial grievance crap. When you've lost your home, your town, your loved ones in a disaster, race/ethnicity should not factor into the assistance provided to you.

As for people who think bullfighting is dangerous for the matador... It is not. If anything, the picadors are in more danger when they hobble (or drug, or both) the bull before the matador does his gay little Spaniard dance.
But they aren't in much danger either. Nowhere near the danger an American rodeo rider is in. Those guys actually do die, sometimes. But the bull never does. He just goes through a crappy day from time to time, and then gets put out to stud, or be humanely killed.

How much land you need depends a lot on the annual rainfall. With one or two acres you could probably have chickens, goats, sheep and pigs (although I'd think only a couple of each of the four-legs). I don't know the details but KS has a homesteading program.

Some horses like to mess with you when you are saddling them. They'll puff out their stomach/chest when you cinch the saddle. So you think it's on there good and tight, but they'll pull it in when you're up there so the saddle becomes loose and you fall over to the side.
For those, you gotta give a little knee to their belly when you saddle them.
Maybe the same for the bull and tight pants?
