31 That girl hunter is going to have to pay for the cow. Not sure, but how much is a cow worth? I think dairy cows are pretty expensive because they are an ongoing source of income. Boy cows, the cost may depend on their weight. When I was in 4H the kids who raised cows auctioned them at the end of fair week, and they got quite a bit. They considered it college fund money.

I don't know what the answer to this ridiculousness is. Perhaps people need to start suing for 7 and 8 figure amounts - like Trump is doing.

And if it comes down that they are 'immune' - well that's a problem that needs to be rectified too so these clowns can be held accountable.

They do this stuff because they CAN not because they should. There's a difference. We need to make it clear that this is not a proper use of our tax dollars.

Tomorrow's All Souls' Day.

Back when I was altar boy, I had the 7 a.m. Saturday Mass on 11/2, not realizing the day. So I get to Church about 6:30 to get ready and Mass is already going on. The priest sees me, gives me a nod to get changed and come out. I come out just as he's giving communiion. When the Mass was over, the priest asked what plans I had. I said none, really. He then told me he had to do 3 Masses, and 'I'm it'. So I did two more Masses with him. The next priest who came in to do his 3 saw me and said, 'You're not leaving'. So I did another 3 Masses. When I got home, I had a story for my Mom who wondered where the hell I was. Mass was only about 1 and 1/2 hours, with prep and cleanup. I was at the Church for about 4 hours, being the altar boy for 5 and 1/2 Masses. I don't know if that's a record but it should be.

I've seen this come up in various forums I'm in. I've told NY voters they need to go call the governor's office and demand she fire the guy that heads up this department and demand the candidates running for State/House races answer whether they will fire the guy.

And...again...as with many people in the northeast they just can't put together that who they vote for leads to these policies. Would Zeldin have picked a different head for the department? I don't know. But if NY had elected Zeldins for the last 20 years I guarantee NYS wouldn't be doing this crap.

Also - they'll kill your pet for jollies - how much do you think they value your life?

I hope they went into the store and are visible on the interior cameras, and then even if fuzzy on the exterior cameras, the police can identify them.

I suspect the shooter (or shooters) will already have a criminal record.

The only good news is that a 9th grader took a shot in the femoral artery and the people in the crowd saved him. They threw him in a car and had someone hold direct pressure on the wound and drove him straight to the ER without waiting for the ambulance.

What would you say to someone asking that question in 1860? 1932? 1940? the 1970's?

Betting against this country has been a bad bet for almost 250 years. I don't see that changing.

Be of good cheer. Even if things don't turn out the way you hope next week. We have this community and we have our strengths and talents and our faith.

No.

It will probably pass anyway, but no. I would be shocked if there are ay exceptions for livestock-killing critters and even if there are, it's probably worded ambiguously enough for prosecutors to fck over people if they want to.

Plenty for people of faith.

For the rest of us, other reasons. I've been 29 for quite some time, and I live in the middle of nowhere. No matter how bad things get, it will be a while, quite a while, before the first tendrils reach here. It's conceivable that, should the long march remain a relatively slow and stately one, that I might possibly be able to live a normal lifespan and shuffle off this mortal coil before the insanity comes for me in person.

So I've got that going for me, which is nice.

225 Democrats taking over Colorado know nothing about "nature" works.

I have been trying for years to increase the quail and pheasant populations at my farm, with little success.

Then I started seeing bobcat tracks and scratch logs, and finally caught one on a game camera.

At the same time, I used to see 40 "barn cats" on my nearest neighbor's porch and property. (Which means he probably had 60-80.)

Over the next year, all of the barn cats disappeared. I do not know if the bobcats considered them to be competitors, or if they were just an easy meal.

However, if you let bobcats overpopulate, then you are going to have a lot of cats and small dogs disappear from the "city" folks. If you let mountain lions overpopulate, then you will even lose some children.

P.S. My quail and pheasant populations are increasing. Apparently, one family of bobcats does much less damage than 60 feral cats.

268 258 We have some AWESOME neighbors.

Earlier tonight, knock at the door... it's the lady across the street with a bowl full of "turkey nuggets" hot, fresh out of the fryer! OH, sooooo good!

I asked if she'd shot it? Oh, yes! "It's *my* turkey! I got it last weekend." LOL.

Just awesome people.

Posted by: JQ at November 01, 2024 11:20 PM

That is a great story!

How were the turkey nuggets?

Our wild turkeys are tasty, but every "first timer" is surprised that they are about twice as firm as a Butterball turkey.

If the nuggets were good, I might go that route with some of the meat.

This is why I don't wthink we have an oligarchy. What we have is a kakistocracy which, according to The Cambridge Dictionary, is "a government that is ruled by the least suitable, able, or experienced people in a state or country." That's pretty much the USA in 2024.

270 Thank you for the enjoyable ONT.

The lady with the knife was kind of hot.

Thanks to everyone for helping me with the cats. Trumpy, the day after being fixed is doing well. He has a cone. He's an outdoor cat who has only stayed in at most 14 hours or so with me. But he's staying by the house and on the porch on the towel I have there.

Snowflake was in about 18 to 20 hours. She goes outside, hangs at our place or my friends' across the street. Most times today she came running in when I called her.

My "Come when Stateless calls you and get a few bites of tuna fish" training policy is working well.

Again. Thank you all.

Time for horror movies....

300 Doggone. It was cold here today, all day. Fog all day long, never saw the Sun. 26 degrees all day long. I dressed warmly, and spent a couple of hours in the shop, and managed to get the transfer case out of the crippled Suburban, which was tricky, because the front drive shaft is securely stuck in its splined socket. Will likely use penetrating oil, heat, and a bigger hammer to try and budge it.

And the T-case will not mate up to the 4L80E transmission I was planning to use, so on to Plan B: rebuild the pooched 4L60E. Parts are ordered.

305 Delightful ONT - the title raises an interesting debate. Every Spanish teacher and every person from Mexico that I've known insists on calling the multi-day observance "Día de Muertos," and call the "los" part of it an unnecessary addition. But every time I've looked at the grammatical side of the matter, it doesn't really change the way the word is translated, with or without the "los." So, what does one go with? Me, I'm rather impressed that Pan de Muerto is a common and tasty dish during the celebration. "Bread of the Dead" is the most Metal-sounding non-Metal name one could contemplate.

312 We have a flock of wild turkeys that pass though the back yard most mornings and evenings. The kids we had visiting from Uganda were enthralled with them. But, the most awesome item they saw was screens in the windows. They asked what they were used for. I explained to them it lets fresh air in while keeping out flies and bugs. They had never seen such a thing and told me flies are absolutely a plague back at home and there huts are filled with them.

They'll go back and tell the village elders of the other worldly invention of America - screens.

Why does no one broadcast Kammie's work history and experience? She says she'll match it up to anyone else's.

Kammie, a Harvard grad, gets her first job as a lawyer. Just one lawyer of many, nothing special.
At 29 (5y? exp) she meets Willie Brown
Appointed by Willie to a CA State commission. Appointed by Willie to a different CA State commission. In both cases, her experience level looks at least 10 years low.

Willie arranges a job in the SF DA, office. Kammie is soon transferred/demoted, then quits, sues, and loses. Willie gets elected SF Mayor, and Kammie's back.

Wait, she was demoted ...???

Kammie is elected to SF DA. Next, Kammie is elected to SF AG. During this tine, about 1500 black men had their sentences extended by Kammie. Why?

One man is convicted of murder...? then exonerated when it was proven that the prosecution withheld proof of his innocence. Instead, the CA Democrat Machine rewards Kammie with the position of US Senator from CA.

Which lawyers were disbarred and given 15 years? No one? How? Kammie was involved.

Kammie does not work for or earn jobs. She is given jobs.
Kammie has no qualifications or achievements.

I have been too lazy to make the csipetke (small dumplings) that must necessarily accompany the completed Chicken paprikas.

I have made Hungarian goulash from a recipe that you recommended and it is so good! Now I want to know about chicken paprikas and csipetke!

352 If I have time, I'll go into more detail on the movie thread. But there's a movie called "The Killer" on Netflix... Don't watch this piece of shit, dudes.

I have low standards. I'm not TJM. I rarely ever actually hate a movie.

But if movies could suck dick, this movie would suck so much dick that it would be running for President of movies about thirty years from now.
Posted by: Yudhishthira's Dice

Is that the 2023 David Fincher "The Killer," the John Woo 1989 "The Killer," or Woo's 2024 remake of his 1989 effort?

If it's the Fincher project, then I can definitely see the need to warn people away from it. The 2024 remake by Woo, likewise. But John Woo's original 1989 "The Killer" is a thing of beauty that bought him his ticket to Hollywood from the world of Hong Kong cinema. It's inspired by that one French movie that people who hate French movies actually enjoy, Jea-Pierre Melville's Le Samouraï. That last one had the Froggy master of on-screen coolness, Alain Delon, and Woo found a worthy counterpart for him in Chow Yun Fat.

357 French truncates de + les (equivalent to de + los in Spanish) to "des". I don't recall them truncating the feminine counterpart. Is there such a truncation in Spanish?
Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at November 01, 2024 11:55 PM (0KMBH)

No, not really. When it could be done, for example a noun that is nominally feminine starts in the letter A the singular form changes to "EL" because it avoids the elision of La +A turning into something like the French L'a . . .

Las aguas (fem) becomes
El agua (still fem, but you know)

I liked Twitter 2012-2020. I was banned almost exactly four years ago for “disinformation” for sharing the Hunter Biden laptop story.

I checked it out again after Musk bought it and freed everyone and it seemed to regain some of its old charm.

The media is so full of it, though. Twitter always had Nazis, commies, pedos, furries, lunatics and terrorist stans. Prior to covid and the 2020 election it was pretty free-wheeling and they only really cracked down on covid “disinformation” and “election denial”. There’s no way it can have more Nazis and white nationalists now than it did in 2019.

They'd probably rather give me one of their chickens. They don't eat them either, just the eggs. Sometimes they will kill a rooster if it is too much of a nuisance, but I don't know what they do with the carcass, I will have to ask.

Speaking of homosexual there's a series of radio ads here for a local HVAC repair bidness. The two main characters are the owner and a trainee. It's like those Maxwell House ads. Will they, won't they? They're so strangely and intensely homoerotic that I'm wondering when they get to the point where one confesses his love for the other and it just ends with a bunch of obscene slurping sounds. Or maybe it's one giant cocktease meant to string you along. I dunno.

"Mascot of 2025 Jubilee is a blue-haired androgyne wearing a sodomy 'Pride' rainbow Rosary as a necklace and carrying a witch’s stang, named 'Luce.' Is that short for Lucifer? The answer is, 'Almost certainly, yes.'"

442 By the way...'Sailor Moon' has a channel on PlutoTv.

Japanese with English sub titles.

The horror movie I was going to watch didn't have sub titles. Which I have grown to love. I've watched a lot of foreign horror films and for western stuff, there's always whispering and I like to keep the volume at 8% for new stuff.

5% for stuff I know or when I'm trying to get to sleep.

My friend would come over and we'd watch 'Sherlock.' Volume level 18. Good because of the English accents but so much louder than I'm used to.

We went to see "Avatar 2" in the theater, my first movie in a decade. Part of me thought to bring earplugs which I slipped in.

Fuck, was the volume loud. With earplugs!! Insane.

I think a better word is unwanted. Many people including people here didn't believe that Biden got 81 million votes in 2020 but it was easier to just accept he did than to fight against what we were told to believe by unseen forces. AKA, our government.

This election has never been close in the real world. No serious person believes the VP who was historically thought of as a DEI failure 4 months ago is now super popular and capable of being the President of the United States of America. It's all manipulation.

Our intel community has been running color revolutions for more than 60 years in foreign countries. It's a big game of RISK for them. It was only a matter of time before they did it here. The forces aren't unseen, many people just refuse to acknowledge it's our own government doing this to us.

And the cats LOVE his canned salmon food, about $5 a can. Which Ralphy, an older dog, is sometimes indifferent. It's salmon, but for dogs but I do let the cats have a few bites.

Ralphy is a huge fan of the bowl of water I have in my bedroom for the cats. He doesn't have to go downstairs. He LOVES that.

------------------

Apologies in advance, but I am very doom-y this week.

If Trump wins, that is indeed what will happen. What is more frightening is that if Trump doesn't win, those things become perpetual. We're in a tanked economy in a world with wars breaking out everywhere, with a "president" who is now widely known to be senile and a Dem nominee who is known to be a dullard. We have Trump, who is willing to fight harder than any other Rep in the last 50 years, who has a track record of successfully navigating these issues, and is supported by a wide, loyal, die-hard following. If even Trump can't win under these circumstances, nobody can, or ever can. And the inevitable daily "Trump in prison" stories, replete with pictures of his decline, in every media outlet until he finally dies there will make it so that nobody will even risk trying.

I depress myself. I hope I'm full of shit.

I don’t think it will be necessary. The court cases will be used to pressure Trump to call it quits after Kamala is declared the winner. (This is the real reason the cases have mostly been delayed until after the election.)

And he’s done more than enough. He doesn’t owe us anything else, so he should take the deal and let someone else take over MAGA.

Imprisoning Trump would be very provocative with no real payoff. It’s better for the uniparty for him to call it quits and ride off into the sunset. They don’t need a martyr.

What does it say about scromiting?

Anyway, that was 1972 reefer, which contained only micrograms of THC. Modern “hyperweed” was invented in Canada and is grown hydroponically, which means it’s not technically a plant since it hasn’t touched dirt. It is, in fact, drawn entirely from the aether which permeates all things.

Just one of these modern “edibles” is enough to euthanize one hundred circus elephants, yet proponents of marijuana decriminalization want to replace school lunches with pot-laced Jelly Bellys so that all of the kids turn into little Charlie Mansons..

What did they think would happen? Psycho monster murdered his own mother and brother, spent 2/3rds of his life in prison around other psychos, did they think he was going to be an upstanding citizen?

One argument for the death penalty is it prevents idiot judges, parole boards and voters from releasing violent criminals decades later. Even if every killer got life in prison, that’s no guarantee they will serve that sentence.

Our society is run by over-socialized bleeding hearts who can let these thugs lose at any time because they saw a Netflix special that humanized them. (See also: the Menendez brothers, who will kill again if released.)
