The Quotes of The Day


Quote I

"I think that's what President Trump did. He triumphed against massive adversity. He's still doing that with bullets flying by his head," Constantino said. "And we triumph too. Nobody thought we could build a massive sticker company or a massive tech company in upstate New York." Sticker Mule CEO Anthony Constantino


Quote II

But we now know that that was an overly simple view, that if the platforms, whether it’s Facebook or Twitter or X or Instagram or TikTok, whatever they are, if they don’t moderate and monitor the content we lose total control and it’s not just the social and psychological effects it’s real harm, it’s child porn and threats of violence, things that are terribly dangerous. Hillary Clinton

Study Confirms The Truth About Masks And Children

It’s late 2024, and masking has managed to remain a contentious issue. Years of misinformation from supposed “experts” like Anthony Fauci and Deborah Birx and organizations like the CDC have convinced millions of Very Smart People to believe that masks are an effective tool to reduce the transmission of respiratory viruses. This applies also to the flu, despite those same experts and organizations somehow neglecting to recommend masks for the decades of flu seasons pre-2020.

Brutal Death of Female Bear by Huge Male Mars Fat Bear Week at Katmai National Park

"Fat Bear Week" at Katmai National Park, an event celebrating the magnificent grizzly bears and the awe-inspiring sockeye salmon run on the Brooks River, has been marred by tragedy. Two of the park's favorite grizzlies went to war while in the water contesting a salmon. The result was the female sinking beneath the water.

MAGA Genius Award Winners!

Cops: Hurricane Looters Hit Trump Merch Store
Suspect claimed stolen goods had just "washed up" during storm

SEPTEMBER 30--As Hurricane Helene battered a Florida city covered by a state of emergency declaration, two men allegedly burglarized a “Trump Store” stocked with merchandise promoting the ex-president, according to cops who say one of the alleged looters was wearing a “Trump cowboy hat” when busted.

On Friday evening, investigators patrolling a closed-off section of Madeira Beach, a city in the Tampa Bay area, discovered two men loitering outside a closed business plaza whose tenants include a realtor, a gift shop selling crystals and shark teeth, and the Trump store.

I'm not sure. Perhaps you can help me make a decision. Tonight's Feel Good Story of The Day or Genius Award Winner?

Krissy Miller, 49, from Provo, was hiking the popular trail in September 2023 when she crossed paths with Shiller Joseph, 45, from Florida. As the two struck up a conversation during their hike, Miller learned that Joseph had been on the kidney transplant waiting list.

Moved by his story, Miller—mother of four—made a spontaneous yet life-altering offer: she would donate one of her kidneys.

83 Late for the FWP thread, but here's mine.
"The Thistle and Shamrock" radio show has stopped production, as its creator retires after 43 years of serving up Celtic folk music. It was perhaps the most SWPL show in the world.
To replace it, my local station is now playing "AfroPop Worldwide."
Should I slap a hot iron on it? Or nuke it from orbit, as it's the only way to be sure.

87 Two years ago, from the New Zealand military:

Yorkshire woman takes command of Royal New Zealand Navy Ship

Today, Commander Gray took the helm of the RNZN’s dive, hydrographic and salvage vessel HMNZS Manawanui, based at Devonport Naval Base in Auckland. Manawanui is Māori for ‘steadfast’ or ‘big heart’.

It is her first ship command in a naval career that started in the United Kingdom in 1993 as a warfare officer. Her service as a warfare officer ranged from working on aircraft carriers to frigates and mine hunters.

In 2012, Commander Gray and her wife Sharon moved to New Zealand after falling in love with the country during a campervan holiday.

“The most obvious thing to do was join the Royal New Zealand Navy,” she said.


Two days ago, Commander Gray's ship hit a reef off Samoa and sank.

It was the first New Zealand navy ship to sink since 1943.

If you suspect that Commander Gray was a diversity hire, please report to the nearest reeducation camp, Comrade.

I liked the Trump merch story. I'd need to know a lot about the kidney guy before making a decision. Jabbed? Liberal? Journalist?

My night cat Trumpy is resting comfortably on the foot of the bed while I get back to 1980's "Cannibal Holocaust." The "best Amazonian guide there is if you can get along with him," grabbed a guy's shotgun, twirled it in mid air, pointed the barrel towards his face and looked down the barrel. But back to the movie.

Trumpy arrived at 6:50 today. I put him outside about 8pm, dude stayed on the porch, looked around a bit and came back inside. Day 6. The experiment is going well.

Everyone have a great week. Hopefully the rest of the movie will emotionally scar me for life...

If you don't have the money for US citizens, and if you decide to use Emergency/National Disaster funds to mint fresh new multi-millionaires in Catholic Charities and other Party money laundering NGO operations, maybe you should fear some reprisal.

I'm a dog person who has taken care of my neighbour's outdoor cats. And so many kittens. Thank God all the females are being fixed.

The cats are doing a hard sell. Yesterday after I went over to check on them and collect the bowls from Saturday tuna fish surprise, 4 of them were following me back home across the street. A van was coming and I actually stood in the road and moved the cats out of the way.

It's pretty freaky to have several cats race out of bushes to greet you and ask where their food is. But they also come by to say hi. Starry has stayed around the garage for 30 minutes while I've done grip work.

And I'll be taking care of Trumpy in the New Year. Dude's been coming over at dusk, says hi to the dog, makes himself at home, watches some tv and sleeps at the foot of the bed.

Cats. Yeah. I'm getting it.

Our usual handler was showing elsewhere so we got a substitute, a good person we've used before.

But someone has it out for her and brought charges. But filing charges is like jumping out of an airplane. You can't just climb back in. The process has to grind on. When I saw what the basis was I couldn't believe my eyes. Someone's in trouble and it's not our handler.

TV Game show host/panelist Bill Cullen was profoundly damaged by polio. His disability was masked by either having him seated at opening a show, or walking just a couple steps. At the time of his death in 1990, he may have been on TV more hours than anyone in history, I'm sure eclipsed by Bob Barker, Alex Trebek, maybe others. Cullen was an early pilot and a very good one.

287 Appropos of the weekend "prepping" thread, I wanted to add a postscript. Or an Addendum. Anyway.

I like battery powered LED lights, don't misunderstand the current draw is low, and they have good color balance. The old school gasoline lanterns, with the mantles that get tied on, Coleman type - they fell out of favor in Boy Scouts and have been replaced at best by propane, as there is a bit of a hair-shirt element to lighting and maintaining them.

But there's one thing a battery operated LED lantern can't do, and that's heat up a room pretty nicely. The lanterns are like anything else, combustion requires ventilation. But they are very efficient, well designed devices and emit almost zero carbon monoxide and other byproducts. In short, what they are is a kind of heater. And being October, that can be a factor for someone in an emergency. They will also run perfectly fine on automobile gasoline. It is true the stove or lantern "generator" will eventually become restricted due to gum and varnish, but they can be cleaned and re-used on most models.

And it doesn't happen overnight. One enthusiast on the Coleman collector website estimates 10 to 12 gallons.

300 One story about the utility of a Coleman lantern, an ice fisherman said he was with a buddy once and it was colder than hell. His buddy was sitting on a bucket, with a long coat on. He was sitting on a bucket too, but he couldn't stand it for more than about 15 minutes. His buddy was a real trooper, just hanging out there all day. Couldn't figure it out.

Well he had a running Coleman lantern under the bucket, a few holes for air intake and flow. The heat would rise, warm the bucket and his third point of contact, and more heat wafting through his coat.

I noticed they will heat a small camper or trailer pretty nicely. Again - ventilation is important, but a well running lantern emits no fumes nor measurable (at dangerous levels to humans or animals) CO or other nasties. If they did - they would have been banned years ago. They also have Catalytic heaters, these are excellent for heating small spaces. They work fine on automobile gasoline as well, leaded fuel having been banned 40 years ago.

These are common at yard sales. Oftentimes inexpensive. 2 burner suitcase stove, lantern and mantles, and catalytic heaters. These would go a long way to providing utility and comfort.

304 But there's one thing a battery operated LED lantern can't do, and that's heat up a room pretty nicely. The lanterns are like anything else, combustion requires ventilation. But they are very efficient, well designed devices and emit almost zero carbon monoxide and other byproducts. In short, what they are is a kind of heater. And being October, that can be a factor for someone in an emergency. They will also run perfectly fine on automobile gasoline. It is true the stove or lantern "generator" will eventually become restricted due to gum and varnish, but they can be cleaned and re-used on most models.

And it doesn't happen overnight. One enthusiast on the Coleman collector website estimates 10 to 12 gallons.

Back when auto fuel had lead in it, you couldn't use it in Coleman lanterns or stoves, nor catalytic heaters. When burning in a new mantle, be sure to do it outdoors, as toxic smoke is emitted.

The suitcase stoves burn waay hotter than propane stoves. There's a lot more heat value on long-chain hydrocarbons vs short ones. My father used to cast lead fishing sinkers, melting the lead in an iron pot on a Coleman stove.

331 Yes, I noticed Coleman built in quite a bit of margin on the high side for their suitcase stoves. They get really hot, and they need to - oftentimes it is windy when camping, yes ya gotta get out of the wind, but ... they understood that and designed a little bit extra in to compensate.

I actually never owned a 2 burner Coleman till late in life. I remembered them on Scouting trips and camp outs. It would be cold as hell, and some poor bastard would be up first and start banging around and pumping up the stove, lighting it, and getting coffee or tea going. Great memories.

Ernie Pyle wrote about the earliest 1 burner gasoline stove by Coleman, the 530 that was issued to the troops . They were really well loved by infantry squads. This was also called the "Pocket Stove" in the post war version. They must have had big pockets in those days. The 10th mountain troops needed something lighter, and so the M1942 model was born, with folding legs, and was made entirely of stainless steel. These are quite good stoves, if a bit noisy due to the plate burning design.

I bought an early Peak 1 400A, the brown tank version. These worked great, and could torch snowbanks into drinking water.

The little patches I did today on the roof are above eye level, and as long as the color matches, don't draw attention. Whole truck really needs a repaint, but is it worth it? Better I just doctor it up here and there. Probably a result of GM's dicking around with water-borne paints, a true fiasco.

Posted by: GilesOverreach


A cat's fur color is on the X chromosome. In a normal XX female, one "X" gets deactivated, but not always the same one in different cells, so a calico or tortoiseshell has a patchwork of two different coat colors.

Normal males are XY, so they only have one "coat color" and can't be any of the patchwork patterns.

For a male to be calico or torti, it has to be a genetic abnormality with 3 sex chromosomes: XXY.

364 Yeah, I was going to mention the Svea. I used to think maybe I had some sort of mental illness, before the Internet. I had quite the camping stove collection. I would go out to the garage sometimes, or the back deck and start them up and make a pot of coffee or something just to mess with them. I didn't think anyone else did stuff like that.

Anyhoo, I pared all that stuff away. Sitting on a shelf doesn't do anything any good. The Svea is a great stove - arguably one of the best ever all things considered. But they don't lend themselves to a quick spot of tea or a warmup, at least not compared to butane and the small propane stoves. Even the burner attachment to a Bernzo-matic canister is easy-peasy.

If you actually want to use a Svea 123 you want the actual 123, in later versions they incorporated an ingenious self-cleaning pricker device for the main jet orifice, but the precise flame adjustability of the design was sacrificed completely. They are pretty much either "on" or "off" with not much in between. Amazingly they are still in production, since 1952, although now made gollly knows where, instead of Sweden.

377 According to a Report from the Wall Street Journal; Viktor Anatolyevich Bout, a Major Russian Arms Dealer known as the “Merchant of Death” who was released from Federal Prison by the Biden Administration in 2022, in exchange for the U.S. Female Basketball Player, Brittney Griner, who was Arrested in Russia on Smuggling Charges after bringing Cannabis Oil into the Country; appears to already be “Back in Business” and behind an Arms Deal worth over $10 Million, which seeks to deliver Automatic Weapons to the Houthi Terrorist Group in Yemen.

Best. Foreign. Policy. Ever.

I was screaming about Victor Bout when that worst trade in spy/diplomatic history took place. Thanks to our friggin' media, most Americans had no idea how bad a bad guy Bout is. To trade him for some lesbian/trans? black basketball player thanks to her arrest for drug possession in Russia was so stupid. I believe Frontline did a piece about Bout. Or some other channel. Talked about the incredible lengths it took the FBI to get Bout to voluntarily leave Russia to arrest him the first time. They offered such a sweet arms deal Bout had no choice but to go in person.

NEW YORK JETS COACH ROBERT SALEH SPARKS HUGE CONTROVERSY BY WEARING A LEBANON FLAG ON HIS ARM IN THE WAKE OF ISRAEL’S STRIKES ON BEIRUT:

New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh sparked controversy during the team’s NFL game against the Minnesota Vikings in London on Sunday.

The 45-year-old was spotted on the sidelines at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium wearing a Lebanese flag below the Nike logo on the sleeve of his team hoodie.

The night before Sunday’s game – the first of the NFL’s international fixtures this season – Israeli bombing continued on Beirut, the Lebanese capital, amid the Israel-Hezbollah war.

The Hezbollah stronghold in south Beirut was hit by more than 30 strikes overnight, which were heard across the city, with smoke still seen billowing from the site after dawn, Lebanon’s official National News Agency said.

Saleh, who is of Lebanese heritage, previously wore a similar patch last October but his decision to bear the flag Sunday raised eyebrows as the anniversary of the beginning of the war in Gaza approaches.

Posted by: Tonypete at October 07, 2024 12:04 AM (WXNFJ)


The rubber diaphragm on the roof has been pierced, and water has gotten in a couple of places, rotting out the roof around a skylight and the fridge vent. I got some patching onto it and then the sealing paint, so it should be OK this winter. Next summer I may have to peel it all back and fix the roof properly. Then again maybe I should just patch it again.

Interesting fact. A 50 pound dog and a 7 or 8 pound cat take up the same amount of bedspace.

Hi Jim. I may be catless soon. It's 1:30. I take care of my elderly mother. Trumpy just went into her room and nuzzled the dog. They're beconing buds.

Went outside. Stormy night. Explored. Came up to the door kind of nervous really wanting to come in. Here in the bedroom eating and drinking water. I have a litter box.

Yeah, I'm not catless.

My apologies to the Horde as I work through this transition.

449 Supreme Court to rule if it should be harder for white and straight people to prove discrimination

The Law is supposed to be blind and thus the same for everyone ......

I had a hard time picking that story apart, including whether SCOTUS has actually granted cert.

Why not? I would give her the boot.

454 I have been getting edibles and capsules. Do you have experience with those.

Thanks if you don't.
And happy week.

You're going to have to experiment, but start with 5mg of indica. Mood music helps. Pot really makes music enjoyable.

456 Morining, fellow insomaniacals! You know what they (well, I) say: It may be Monday. Granted. But compared to being on the wrong side of the ground, even a bad Monday is pretty small kumquats nicht wahr?

459 Stateless, as regards THC capsules: Earlier this year I bought some at a local dispensary and tried them for sleep. The improvement, for me, was much smaller than the outlay of cash. A Unisom tablet, one of the over-the-counter sleep aids, and a small-dose melatonin have worked much better.

As regards pain, you know, soreness and the like, the THC didn't do much. Maybe I needed to take it longer.

460 I don't want to be up either, Skip. But I took off from working out the last two days. Got to put in some roadwork time this a.m. -- I like to get three days a week, four if I can. Once I get the coffee flowing in me, get moving and stretching, I'll be fine.

The THC? Well, I might try it again. A topical cream I bought last year did nothing for my wrist arthritis pain, though I stuck with it until the jar was empty.

464 Boozman is mine. Arkansas. Because apparently it's too hard for journalists to figure out that Arizona is AZ, Anot AR.

465 11 Hi friends! I need help. My daughter rescued a torti kitten today, got her to the vet, started shots. Now we are obviously keeping her. She has another torti named Star. We need to name the new baby girl.

Have at it, you creative people!
