Dogs Versus Stairs Cafe

Wildlife photographer Alan McFadyen took over 720,000 shots over the course of 6 years to capture this perfect photo of a Kingfisher diving into the water.

Kitten won't let you touch his teddy bear.

A man and his donkey friend.

Cute little dog waits patiently for his dad to notice him.

Baby elephant plays with a basketball. No, he doesn't dunk. Darn.

People with arachnophobia don't think enough about how weird and dangerous bees are.

I guess this is technically a skill.

Swimming with the sharks. Why?

Big chungus.

Big pipe. Scroll up to see it being transported. TBH this looks fake to me but the basic object is real. I just wonder why they're transporting it in one piece. Here's another video of part of a distillation column being transported.

Cat bully!

22 We had an old wooden desk in our house growing up thay had a secret compartment behind a false back in the large drawer.

About 5 years ago I was interviewing a professor at the University of Vermont for work and I noticed she had the same type of desk. Of course I stopped the interview immediately and asked her if it had a false back in the large drawer. She said "No" and opened the drawer to prove it. But it DID have the secret back and she was blown away. It was great.

Unfortunately it must have been George Costanza's old desk. All the secret compartment had was a couple candy bar wrappers.

31 Just a guess on why they do not transport distillation column in sections.

Basically, flanges would become hot spots and stuff would condense and screw up the process. A continuous smooth surface and uniform temperature gradient is essential for efficiency and purity at each stage.

It is high temp, so probably double walled and vacuum insulated (like a thermos) I do not know this part for a fact but safe assumption. It also has all kinds of baffles and stuff inside so even if you accept the flanges, assembling on site would be a real pain.

Assembling without flanges and just by welding it on site is possible, but you would have to weld a section, install baffles, etc. etc. and weld quality and inspections probably require specialized x-ray equipment and other complications that I do not know about.

When designing anything for building on the Aleutian Chain, you can do some premanufacturing, but the pieces all have to fit in a cargo plane. Makes for some interesting precast concrete pieces, not to mention the steel section fabrications, etc.

If you don't, then it waits for a barge, which takes months.

45 I was just reading about that shooting at the Salt Lake City "No Kings" protest. Kind of telling how the gun control zealots weren't all over that occurrence. Because, if you are going to argue for gun control you should probably highlight an armed "peace keeper" at a democrat rally who had no situational awareness, lied through his attorney about any threat, and fired haphazardly into a crowd hitting and killing someone over 160 feet away who had nothing to do with anything.

It's telling that the media, police and organizer that hired the "peace keeper" won't even tell us his name. Instead, they tossed some punk band regular to these protests, who has a habit of showing up with an unloaded AR-15 in jail for five days, and then let him out without charges (which was the right call on what I've read so far). The punk band guy (regardless of his politics) seems to have displayed proper discipline (as was documented on video at the scene).

It's just amazing how the whole gun control issue goes away when the violations are attributed to front line useful idiots on the Left.

96 We had Siberian huskies back in the day. They didn’t climb up or down stairs. They just jumped up or down the whole flight. It was amazing to watch. As they got older they couldn’t do this any more, but they still did the flight in only a few steps.

This inspired me to write a scene in my book where Freki, the wolf prince and the “Romeo’ of the story, helps Evy, the white lab and ‘Juliet,’ get out of a fenced-in construction compound by jumping over the fence — with her on his back.

My grandfather was larger than life. Huge man. Being in Canada, he used to run booze across the frozen Detroit River to Detroit.

There are stories that he burned a bridge, literally, escaping the RCMP. I could see Pip doing that.

102 TYM CORPORATION (Korean: 주식회사 티와이엠 is a South Korean agricultural machinery manufacturing company headquartered in Seoul, South Korea with operations in more than 40 countries.[3] The company began in 1951, founded in Busan, South Korea, as the Tong Yang Moolsan [4] and was renamed "TYM" in 2020.[5] TYM designs, produces, and sells tractors, combines, cultivators, rice transplanters and diesel engines.

History
In 1968 it merged with Korea Light Metal and commenced agricultural Machinery production. In 1973 Anyang Farm Machinery Factory established; company shares opened to the public. TYM's Research and Development Institute and Agricultural Machinery Training Institute were established in 1993.[6]

TYM entered the US tractor market in 2004 and acquired Kukje (Branson) in 2016. Kukje Machinery and its Branson line would put TYM ahead of current number two LS Mtron among South Korean agricultural equipment players, and close to Daedong Co., the manufacturer of Kioti tractors and all-terrain utility vehicles.[7]

161 BREAKING: Gas Prices in CA Could Hit $10–$12/Gallon, Lawmaker Warns

California may be headed for a major energy crisis.
According to Rep. Carl DeMaio, lawmakers were just briefed behind closed doors that:

The state’s oil industry is on the brink of collapse
A pipeline shutdown is reportedly pending
And gas prices could skyrocket to $10–$12 per gallon
Gas rationing may follow

DeMaio warns that $8/gallon could soon look like a bargain.

If true, this would have a massive impact on working families, businesses, and transportation across the state.

Is California’s energy policy finally catching up with reality?

I was in Manaus for work and went up the river to this place for the weekend. One on a hike in the Amazon one day and had a choice of fishing for piranhas or swimming with pink dolphins the next day. I chose piranhas.

On Saturday night we went out on a crocodile hunt. Two guides in an oversized canoe type boat with an outboard. One guy driving and the other in the bow with a spotlight looking for croc eyes. When he saw some he would dive in the water and grab the croc. At night. In the freaking Amazon.

The guides were all natives who lived in the Amazon as their families have for generations. Those guys lived with that stuff all their lives.

188 polynikes -

There is always something good even from something very bad. Read the write-up for the episode in the link if you haven’t watched it. There were positive elements in fascism: they got the German people working together for common goals, and this was in the middle of the worldwide Great Depression! Similarly the history professor who was sent observe the planet Ekos thought he was helping the Ekosians by introducing elements of fascism into Ekosian society. The Ekosians were able to send a nuclear tipped missile to take out the Enterprise after all, generations ahead of where they should have been! But it all comes at a price! Ask the poor Zeons, who are the stand-ins for the Jews in this episode!

Your points are valid, but Prohibition did more harm than good, as we acknowledged by repealing it. My point was logical, but was meant to reference a point of common culture we, perhaps, do not share. Not surprisingly, West Germany refused to air the episode!

It takes a while to drain a swamp. I'm giving him a little more time than half a year before I call it a day.

Vance recently said in a presser that if you had told him to promise that border crossings would be down 90% in the first six months, he would have laughed in your face and said no way could he promise to deliver on that. Yet here we are, and it's a fact. Homan has been in beast mode.

I used to run. Will be starting again soon.

I'm in a small farming community and since I would run more than 2 hours, I'd run in the country.

One fall day, I was jogging down a dirt road with fields on both sides of me. Hundreds of birds were in each field. I would run. The entire flocks flew up to the next field. We did that 3 or 4 times.

It was amazing. But pretty creepy.

212 Recent reporting on Harvard's finances shows them taking a haircut on endowment funds invested in illiquid private equity and/or private debt. In order to keep as much of their hair as possible, they would like to unload their portfolios on the rubes. The big investment houses seem eager to help.

Today's WSJ reports on a Blackrock initiative:

"Firms that specialize in privately held debt and equity investments see the $12.2 trillion market for 401(k)-type retirement plans as a way to reach the everyday investors that are crucial to their growth. BlackRock, which manages $500 billion in target-date funds, is the biggest such provider yet to announce that it will make private investments available. It will be up to employers to decide whether they want to add them."

As with the public debt, the solution to Harvard's and other institutions money problems is to make them the ordinary citizens' problems.

219 I'm slow on this news, but supposedly in February they found more DNA evidence to prove who Jack the Ripper was. Anyone see the news on this?

I first heard about the suspect, Aaron Kosminski, a Polish Immigrant of Jewish descent who worked as a barber, over a decade ago. I remember the woke left utterly refusing to consider him a real suspect because he was an immigrant, since I think they were still hung up on the "it was British aristocracy! The rich are evil!" theory.

Honestly, I always liked him as a suspect because it felt so Sweeney Todd like. (Poetic if it turned out to be a barber.) But people also claim mitochondrial DNA can't be used in the way they did to determine suspects, I dunno.

I could tell you stories that would make my head explode. So I won't.

242 >>Which Wall Street major player that shut its doors after the housing meltdown in 2008?

Lehman Brothers
Posted by: JackStraw at June 26, 2025 09:41 PM (viF8m)

The housing market collapse started a couple of years earlier. Lehman collapsed in Sept ‘08, Bear Sterns in March.

Bear Stearns’ collapse was a major contributor to the collapse. Lehman’s collapse was a major contributor to the bailouts.

244 The bad news about the scarf is, after a century or so how contaminated it is.

245 Another reminder of how f**ked we peons are:

If one of us try to secure a mortgage loan, it takes weeks if not months.

But when the government wants to - they'll facilitate a sweetheart deal with bailout or guarantees - hello Bear Stearns - JPMorgan acquired BS with Federal Reserve support in March 2008 - OVER A WEEKEND when supposedly, everything is closed.

249 Vulture trivia, how they can glide for so long: when you a vulture circling, look at the wing tip and you usually can see 3 long feathers, separated. (That’s how you can tell a vulture from a hawk, even at distance). When they glide, they use no muscle energy at all except for those feathers on each wingtip, which serve as combination ailerons and rudder. That minimal expenditure of energy is how they glide for hours.

262 people are going to the emergency room after eating Wendy's. The current Taki flavored menu (with people asking for extra spice) is proving to be a mistake.

Maybe if they washed it down with a TidePod.

I like the chips, but I can't imagine asking for extra spice.

275 The secret menu at In N Out lets you request a cheeseburger wrapped in lettuce, no bun. Really good but messy. The Neapolitan shake, all three of their shake flavors blended together, is amazing.
