I like wintry movies with ice & snow.
Stallonke's "Eye See You" movie has lots of snow & ice. I watched it last night.
There was a weird & creepy short TV series a few years ago called Fortitude. I loved it because it was set in Norway, or somewhere like that. Finland, maybe?

There are a ton of wild pigeons out here. Rock Doves. They live in colonies on a lot of the riverbanks.
Fun to shoot. Eat just like any other kind of dove.

Insider Paper @TheInsiderPaper 3h
NEW - Homo erectus, not sapiens, first humans to survive desert: study
Evidence collected from the Engaji Nanyori site in the gorge suggests that Homo erectus adapted to this hostile environment “by focusing on ecological focal points such as river confluences where water and food resources were more predictable”, Mercader Florin said.
“Their ability to repeatedly exploit these focal points… and adapt their behaviours to extreme environments demonstrates a higher level of resilience and strategic planning than previously assumed.”
Specialised tools found at the site, such as hand axes, scrapers and cleavers, showed that Homo erectus had also worked out how to process animal carcasses.
The bones of animals such as cows, hippopotamuses, crocodiles and antelopes also had cut marks, indicating they had been skinned and had their bone marrow extracted. [...]

Due to the size of the home, researchers think it was owned by an important figure in the community. The bath could host up to 30 people and was likely used to impress guests.
The complex contains three rooms that were heated to different temperatures. Guests entered the calidarium first, which was filled with hot water, according to BBC News’ Rebecca Morelle and Alison Francis. Then, in the tepidarium, they would rub oil into their skin and immerse themselves in warm water. Bathers would then continue on to the frigidarium, which was filled with cold water. They also had access to an apodyterium, or changing room, with a beautiful mosaic floor.

Another TV/Movie thing that annoys me is when they don't get the order of Lightning & Thunder accurate. Often times they'll have a loud thunder clap and then lightning. Or the lightning & thunder are at the exact same time.
It's lightning first, then thunderbooms. Light is faster than Sound. And it all depends on the distance of the storm.

In the Rabbits movie (linked in the sidebar), it's pretty clear the audio track is not well synced with the video. You can hear the door on the set "open" and "close" seconds before it actually opens or closes in several scenes. I found that amusing...

That's interesting. There was a Digging for Britain British [obviously!] site that had an excellent mosaic of Achilles killing Hector and dragging the body around Troy's walls from a chariot and King Priam doing his thing -- begging for his son's body back; paying for the corpse in its weight in gold -- and Achilles relenting, with Zeus' intervention, and returning the body with a 12-day truce to allow for funeral rites and mourning.

I taught there. The kids were amazing. The high school kids would start English classes, and others, at 7pm and go to 10pm. If you had detention, you were there to 11pm.
I stayed one noght to try to help some kids and left at 11pm.
It was crazy!
The streets were filled with kids out of night school. Some walking home safely through the dark back streets. I passed a small park where a bunch were hanging out and chilling for a bit.
I went into 'Family Mart' and it was packed with kids eating ramen.
They were amazing.

I love the cats but for the first time in decades, I need to take care of myself. I've never gone on a vacation - well high school trips, but that would be nice.
Beautiful cats. They will easily find a new home. And I'll toss in a ton of toys, scratching posts and a beautiful cat tree.
Tough year for me, but the rest of the world is winning. So that ,akes things better.

Cows are funny critters. Old Paco ran a small herd on his property down in Stanly County, NC. He owned a golf cart, which he used to drive around on his place, and one time I drove it down to the pond to go fishing. After awhile, I noticed that the cows had all gathered around the cart, and were in the process of trying to eat the covers off the seats.

By the end of February, all Steak 'n Shake restaurants will have shifted from frying in vegetable oil to frying in "100% all-natural beef tallow."

China has had many famines, but none covered the entire Empire because it is big and covers multiple climate zones. With an extensive networks of canals and navigable rivers, the Mandate of Heaven was shown by emperors who moved food to where it was needed. Famine was often the precursor to the fall of a dynasty.
Mao, through the miracle of Communism, created the first famine that had nothing to do with crop failures. Pretty amazing stuff.

There’s a shortage of mediocre tech talent, too, which is why companies want to import piss-poor coders from India. They don’t work harder or longer. Hell, most put in less than 40 hours a week, and their output sucked and just had to be redone by more qualified native-born engineers.
Almost everyone in tech knows you can’t off-shore coding to India and get a good product; why would importing them and paying them more lead to better results?

Now do FDR - so intent on ending the Great Depression they burned crops in the fields. Butchered livestock in the pens. While soup lines were still standing.
Morgenthau is good reading. He was a cuck. His writing shows him as a cuck, that knew he cucked. Supposedly, his trade was "economist". Your basic farmer knew more about economics than Morgenthau.

No. We were just a bunch of kids, one of which (may he rest in peace) had a dad that build wooden canoes and had a steam box to bend wood. So we bent our own boards and laminated them with fiberglass resin.
I have done a lot of work in the industry and built the origanal press that made Shot snowboards. I forget what they are called now.
We were also some of the first ones to try and get onto resorts to no avail.
And I started boarding for the same reason your friend did but it was for work.
Now I also must add that there is no job like working as a mechanic at a ski resort.

📌#Washington | #DC
Currently More than half a dozen local Washington D.C.-area police departments have announced they will not assist the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) with security for the 2025 Presidential Inauguration. The MPD has faced criticism from both progressives and conservatives for its policing methods. This decision by local departments could leave MPD with hundreds fewer officers than it typically relies on for an event of this scale. While MPD has stated that thousands of officers will assist with security, several local departments confirmed that they will not participate.

But winning and Horde happiness has helped. The deportations and liberal tears will be epic.

2) Emperor is assumed to have "lost the mandate of Heaven" and is deposed.
3) Country falls apart and is ruled by rival gangs of warlords for a while. More millions die.
4) Most brutal warlord, and/or the last one standing, declares himself Emperor.

Oh yes ...
All the lefty Instagrammers have been wetting themselves as they post this shit as being the new law of the land.
And some of these people I know ... and they're lawyers!!!
Nice to know who not to go to for legal advice.

I hear tell they don't remove Tonsils, anymore. Remember that was a big plot line in many TV shows? Tonsils, ice cream...hilarity.
They, what, give you pills to abort tonsils, today?
Why can't we do that for our appendices?

They serve as a reservoir of your normal gut bacteria that can repopulate after you've had some horrible event (e.g., cholera) that has killed or washed away the normal microflora.

But if you’re going to do a deep dive into the reasons behind those actions, you need to understand its cultural psychology. And a major component of that is its language.
Someone who is trying to analyze China’s actions cannot do so without an adequate knowledge of the Mandarin Language.
Sorry if you engineering folks can’t grasp that.

Bulg, I am as far away from an Engineer as there is, and I disagree. There are so many sources out there from which information can be gotten, and as we all know, history is written by the winner. Getting a wide breadth of information from multiple sources is what brings you closer to truth. If knowing the language was a criteria, we would be in big trouble. For example, we learn about history where the language at the time is dead. There are multiple means to an end.

Sorry, but you came across as rather arrogant, as if the only information worth knowing about Chinese history is locked up in Mandarin vaults.
Happily, there is a lot of scholarship that delves into the very issues you describe, that provide translations but also dig into the subtleties of Chinese thought and language.
I mean, that's the value that scholar add - they make things accessible. What I did was condense 4500 years of Chinese military history into 350 pages, and tried to keep it readable. People seem to like it. You should check it out before you condemn it out of hand.

I am not judging you, Stateless. In fact, just the opposite. This is another one of those moments I wish I lived close to you, because I want to support you. You have been through a very difficult time, and you are still in a very tough place, emotionally. It’s a different tough, but it’s still tough. You haven’t even fully mourned let alone adjusted to this new reality. Right now you just need to give yourself time to be sad, and then recharge. Virtual hugs, friend.
