A Taiwanese plastic surgeon has been getting a lot of attention for sharing a video of performing a vasectomy on himself on social media, as a gift to his wife.If this was the best option, his wife must be very difficult to buy for.

Sometimes when “secret law” is involved—and that is always the case with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA)—it takes some time before the public learns how badly the government has violated someone’s constitutional rights via the FISA Section 702 program. U.S. v. Hasbajrami is a perfect example of the phenomenon. Although Judge LaShann DeArcy Hall of the Eastern District of New York issued her ruling against the Biden administration on December 2, 2024, the actual decision in the case was not released until late yesterday, January 21, 2025.

Correct. Not the fastest way around the track - but if you want to make something spectacular for the camera, sideways looks cool. It does require impressive car control to slide it around at that kind of speed.

All the basking going on 'round here tonight brings to mind Basking Ridge, NJ:
Basking Ridge, New Jersey’s most famous incident, occurred on December 13, 1776, at about noon. General Charles Lee (1731-1782) was “alarmed” by Major Wilkinson while writing a letter to General Gates about George Washington in an upstairs bedroom of the Widow White’s Tavern. Widow White’s Tavern, named after Ebenezer White’s wife, Mary Brown White, became the centerpiece of Revolutionary War history on that day because It was on this most unfortunate day for General Lee that General Lee became a prisoner of the British Army,
Lee thought himself the better general than Washington. He would not be returned by the British until 1778, where he did his damnedest to try to lose the Battle of Monmouth until Washington rode up and relieved him of command.

We arrived at 8:30 am (left my house at 7am and took the metro). We stood in line for EIGHT HOURS (the doors were supposed to open at one pm) with rain and sleet. It was awful and we didn't get anywhere near the door. I don't understand why the organizers didn't just tell us that we were too far back in the line beyond the 20K mark to get in and LET US GO!! At the end We turned a corner and the line just dissolved into chaos and people were pushing into barricades. We just left at that point. Missed an hour of the rally on TV. It was just the chaotic crowd scene that I had expected so I will never do this again but glad I tried. My friend has been to 4 outdoor rallies and they were not this crazy.

Bellefontaine Cemetery is old money. The cemetery of St. Louis' most distinguished citizens, like Augie Bush I and Augie Bush II, etc. You can't walk in and buy a plot because you have money; you must apply and be accepted by the Board.
I would say in Rush's case, the cemetery is honored by his presence. They do paid walking tours in the Spring and Fall for those interested on weekdays only.

Think it was her dad. IIRC, the record company sent a C&D to Rush and he complied, but Chrissie's dad called his daughter (imagine your daughter's song is the intro to your favorite radio show?) and Chrissie told the record company to lay off..
Chrissie is still a 1, BTW..

1. Per the Internet, so it must be true, Trump has cut off all military aid to Ukraine.
2. Per the Wall Street Journal, so it might be false, Trump has given envoy Keith Kellogg 100 days to reach a peace deal. What happens at the end of the 100 days is unknown.
3. One of yesterday's many EOs tries to speed up the production and delivery of Liquid Natural Gas, which Europe desperately needs to offset the loss of natural gas from Russia. One hopes the Russian saboteurs will be considerate enough to detonate the LNG tankers only after they have cleared port.

I'm only familiar with that case in a cursory fashion. If I'm not mistaken the ruling was against the use of a warrantless search. Those can be used against a foreign national, but not a US Citizen.
Seems to me by shooting down the warrantless search on this guy and reaffirming the 4th Amendment, this is good news despite the US Citizen in this case being a piece of human excrement.
Why such a delay occurred between today and Dec. 2nd when it was ruled upon is concerning. Occam's Razor suggests that the Biden Administration had a number of such warrantless searches either done or in the making on other US Citizens, and the Court was "kind" enough not to release the ruling for public consumption so that they could finish up on whatever and whomever was being violated illegally.

When Grant died, Congress offered his widow 3 possible sites for Grant's final resting place: Galena, IL, his hometown; Washington, D.C., near the Lincoln Memorial; or NYC, where Grant & his wife lived after he left the White House.
She chose NYC, in what is now Spanish Harlem. Worst of the 3. Galena would've been the best.

Amazing car. But where can you drive it? That's my problem. The GT series are basically race cars and at least around me with Porsche's notoriously tall gearing I'd never get the thing out of 3rd gear.
Mid-engine cars handle so incredibly well I'd be happy with a bit less power and a bit less stiff suspension. And 3 pedals.

And what public road could you trust? Even a straightaway is going to have loose gravel and whatnot ready to turn you into a ditch or guardrail. You'd never want to take such a work of engineering out in the open and treat the public roads like the Grand Prix.
A high-school/college friend of mine had a Porsche 911 (and he did some competitive track racing - Can-Am I think it was) and he took his car into a few curbs. One time he broke both rims on one side after losing grip. Let's just say it's an expensive endeavor and sometimes the least you lose is money.

There were TWO Henry Morgans in show biz.
Due to having the same name, he (the other Henry) was often confused with the film/TV actor Harry Morgan, who in his earlier days had used the pseudonym "Henry Morgan." (But radio's Henry having used that moniker first, filmdom's Henry renamed himself Harry.)Ironically, the men were born only 10 days apart.

Kind of where I am with my dream car now. There are some fun driving roads in New England but they get beaten up with weather so having a car that does 0 - 60 and handles on a dry track is pretty irrelevant.

I know someone who works with Feds. Federal employees are absurdly obstructionist. Back in December when the government nearly shutdown they were freaking out at the idea somebody might accidentally work if there was a shutdown.
But they were also sure there would be a shutdown, so they didn’t do any work the week before the shutdown deadline, either. They were all happy they’d get paid time off.
These people think they are above accountability because they have been for decades. They need to be slapped down hard.

Bought it for $50 from a guy who was PCSing soon & needed to get rid of it. It ran. We sold our Civic for reasonable money and used the Minica until we moved stateside. Then gave it to a dude who'd just got to the base and needed wheels.

I wasn't a believer until I drove one.
The CTV 5 Blackwing is an absolute monster but it's too big and more than I need. The 4 is an absolute blast to drive.
Neither are German interior quality but for the price they are an incredible bargain.

Yeah, but it looks like a Toyota Supra. I foresee these cars being bought by custom shops, dismantled, and their power train and chassis components mounted on a custom tube frame and stuffed under a classic muscle car body. Best of both worlds.

I found one on the other side of the state for only $110,000. I'd get one, but it would mean I'd have to get the 1964 International Scout down off the blocks to make room for it in the driveway. Guess I'll have to pass.

Just looking at the records. GSP just missed the record lowest high for the 21st. It was 28F. Record was 26. And just missed the 22nd by 2 degrees as well, 33 vs 31.
The all-time lowest high was on Dec 31st in 1917 at just 18F. All-time low was -6F set on Jan 30th in 1966, the year before I was born.

All the record lows for Jan. are in the single digits, save for the 4th, which was 11F.
I remembered it was -4F one time, and that was Jan 21 1985, I see. That was my senior year in high school. That all set the lowest high record for that day, 26F I mentioned above.

As I was going on about in one of the earlier threads, it was amazing this morning. The little 0.1 - 0.2" of snow accumulation we had just sublimed away, rather than melting. No wetness or liquid water at all. It just sublimed away in the breeze and sunlight. Dew point was just 6F or so. That was quite a rare thing to see for here.
The heat pump isn't frosting much at all. They've all got more intelligent defrost logic that doesn't defrost until it has to.
Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at January 23, 2025 03:00 AM (w6EFb)
I'm now looking at GSP's "sub-freezing" records. It's sort of hard to interpret. But it counts days with highs of 32 or below, and streaks of such days.
If I'm understanding, most days in a year with highs 32 or less is 15 days, which was the winter of 1917-18. The longest streak of such days was 6, from Dec. 30 to Jan 4 1918.
This current one will just be a one-day one, looks like, because high for 22nd did make 33F.

Just got a new metal roof (per the wifey's demand) here in Northern AZ. First attempt was a company out of Phoenix that did onsite manufacturing of the steel panels ... ESTIMATE: $115k.
Uh, no ... then found someone local with a good reputation. $65k.
Ouch. But the wifey (we have a rain catchment system per prepping) is happy as it has a 100-year lifetime ... unlike us 29-year-olds.
Posted by: ShainS -- Make Treason Executable Again! at January 23, 2025 03:15 AM (B6F9D)
I think I've got the logic now. They track the first day and last days of the calendar year with highs of no more than 32. Then count any streaks of such days for that year.
More years have such days than not, but it's very few per year here.
Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at January 23, 2025 03:15 AM (w6EFb)
Looking at more freezing data records, and this can get confusing. You've got to get your mind wrapped around how they're thinking about things.
They have records of longest and shortest periods of days with lows of 32 or less. You look at the date time spans of days with and without. They call these "inclusive" vs "exclusive" freezing periods.
