Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy Bans Rainbow Crosswalks
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy struck a blow at radical LGBTQ activism as “Pride Month” ended. Duffy sent a letter to all 50 state governors, the D.C. mayor, and Puerto Rico’s governor, a letter which he also shared with The Daily Signal. Trump’s transportation secretary told the governors to work on removing distractions, including woke political symbols, from roads and intersections. In the letter, Duffy wrote, “Roads are for safety, not political messages or artwork. Today I am calling on governors in every state to ensure that roadways, intersections, and crosswalks are kept free of distractions.” He added, “Far too many Americans die each year to [sic] traffic fatalities to take our eye off the ball.” He assured the governors that the Transportation Department “stands ready to help communities across the country make their roads safer and easier to navigate.” Just this June, a Rhode Island man was reportedly arrested for leaving skidmarks on a rainbow crosswalk. Hopefully, Duffy’s new guidance will help the man as his case moves forward.About time.
Disgusting Pop Singer ‘Can’t Remember’ How Many Abortions She’s Had
“The pattern would be: Unfortunately, get pregnant, like, not want to be, have an abortion, then while I was sedated in said abortion, they’d give me a coil,” Oliver recalled, noting that she “can’t quite remember” why she ultimately got the IUD removed each time.Nice to know that you don't need any justification for murder.
This is not the first time Allen has been forthcoming about the matter. In 2022, she received support from fans after revealing that she’d had an abortion in the past.
“I wish people would stop posting examples of exceptional reasons for having abortions,” she wrote via her Instagram Story at the time while advocating for the pro-choice movement. “Most people I know, myself included, just didn’t want to have a f-----g baby. And that is reason enough! We don’t have to justify it.”
Medical News You Can Use Man suffered horrifying side effects after injecting himself with own sperm to 'cure back pain'
As doctor's examined him, they spotted that his arm was red and swollen and questioned the man about it. It was then that they learnt that his back pain wasn't actually new and that he'd been injecting himself with semen for the last 18 months as an apparent 'cure' for his ongoing pain without proper medical advice. According to ABC News, the unnamed individual had been using a hypodermic needle he'd bought online to inject himself and shortly before his hospital trip he'd administered three 'doses' at once. He proceeded to undergo an X-ray which found that he had subcutaneous emphysema and a collection of semen in his muscle. The man needed urgent antibacterial treatment as a result. Cleveland Clinic describes subcutaneous emphysema as 'a rare condition that happens when air gets trapped under your skin'.So, uh, don't do that. Musical Interlude
Stay Away Dear New Yorkers: Texas Will Break You
Hey New Yorkers. I heard you're probably going to get an outright communist as your mayor. Zohran Mamdani sounds like a real peach, and the fact that he won the Democrat Primary and is well on his way to the mayor's office has made many of you fire up your Zillow account and start looking for homes out of state. I don't blame you, but let me offer you some advice. You're probably going to be tempted to come to Texas because so many companies have moved here, and you feel like you could easily land a job. I could see why you'd think that, but let me tell you about Texas. You really don't want to move here. Texas is like Hell, only worse, because the living conditions here are so chaotic and difficult that the devil himself thinks it's a bit much. Let's start with the weather. People joke about how hot it is in Texas, but hot doesn't fully describe what happens here. Texas isn't just hot; the air is the essence of heat. When you walk outside, you have .02 seconds before you start sweating, even if you're in the shade. The humidity is so thick that you don't just walk through the heat, you swim through it. And that's during the fall.
Can concur. Texas is horrible, you don't want any part of it. California, however, California is beautiful. Move there.
Deep Dive On AI Costs Vs Benefits Bunk Costs
So let’s put all of those points together: If you have a developer who can create $10m in value and you give him an AI he can create $20m in value in the same period, for a gain of +$10m. While they are rare by general population standards, $10m value developers are fairly common for competent people. If you give 20 of them a -4o class AI, the AI will have generated enough value to offset its training cost. Any additional $10m value developers who use the AI are over-unity, and the thousands of $1m value developers add to the pile on. We haven’t even touched any business case beyond making the very best programmers more productive and we’ve already demonstrated that the concerns – or perhaps concern trolls – about recouping the cost are full of nothing but wind.It's all Greek to me, but I know there are some of you who are into it. Depressed? Trip. Just one single dose of ‘magic mushrooms’ could relieve depression for 5 years, researchers find
Psilocybin, the main psychoactive ingredient in magic mushrooms, could alleviate depression for at least five years after just one dose, according to a new study. The research, presented June 18 at the Psychedelic Science 2025 conference in Denver, followed up with patients who had been diagnosed with clinical depression — also known as major depressive disorder (MDD) — and had participated in a previous psilocybin treatment study in 2020. “Most people who participated in our trial reported improvements in depression symptom intensity or in the ways in which they experienced depression in their life, lasting up to five years after the trial,” study co-author Alan Davis, director of the Center for Psychedelic Drug Research and Education at The Ohio State University, told Fox News Digital.I've never taken 'shrooms, but I've always kinda wanted to try, just to see what it's like.

We had a dog who went absolutely nuts with the fireworks. We have had lots of dogs in our almost 50 years of marriage and have never seen a dog have such a horrible reaction to them.

The long dreaded July 1st 65c per gallon California gas tax increase failed to materialize. Turns out the actual tax increase was about 1.5c.
The 65c number is apparently a long term worst case price increase scenario based on some low carbon credit trading scheme cooked up by the legislature.
So I guess safe for now.

What I don't like about TV western series is how clean everyone is. Clean shaven, too, all the time.
Also, they make riding in a buckboard, wagon, or a coach seem like it's fun and pleasant.
I guarantee after the first five miles of riding on a wagon you'll want to get out and walk the rest of the way. Those things had a rudimentary shock-absorbing suspension consisting of, what, a piece of rigid steel acting as a "spring?"

I mean, even if you don't believe abortion is murder, it's still an invasive medical procedure that can be easily prevented by dozens of different birth control methods. WTF. How the fuck is she just getting rid of the IUD and being like 'oh well no big deal if anything happens I'll just get a painful medical procedure and then get a new one for a while.
It's like - and again moral issues way way way to the side - someone having a bunch of root canals and being like "oh yeah, after every one I brushed my teeth for a while and stopped chewing sugar cubes every day, but then I just sorta slacked off and whatever." You'd treat that person like they were a lunatic.

When I did 'shrooms, we washed 'em, trimmed the bottoms and ate them. Whole. I sliced some and made a mushroom pie for a date once (that turned into a laugher) but other than that, we just ate the whole damn mushroom or two.

All this is documented in the "Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices and Street Signs." I know this, personally, because I ordered a personal copy (which is updated monthly) and I have used it to get out of at least 10 traffic violations (including speeding tickets, slow slide through stop signs etc).
Simply put, how intersections are marked right down to the height of the sign and angle of to traffic light, location of cross walk, width/length and legality of the crosswalk etc. is mandated in the manual. Rainbow colored crosswalks are not part of the curriculum. In fact, they could be used to get you out of other violations if you're clever.

They put two float switches on this system, and I think that was a Trane warranty requirement, going beyond code. Overflowing water in the attic is a disaster, of course, so I like it.
You've got a float switch fitting right on the evaporator pan. It's in a little well fitting. If the water level in the evaporator catch pan gets high enough to trickle over, it will fill that little well and trip the float. That's supposed to shut it down and make you check it out before it gets too bad.
Then there's a big secondary catch pan under the whole air handler with it's own float switch as a fail-safe. I like this set up.

I think I'm going to try that. In the winter, in heat mode, I've noticed a smell right after a defrost cycle. It never happens in summer in A/C mode. What I think happens is, during defrost, you get a little condensation. Then it switches back to heat mode, and promptly warms up what it just condenses, giving off odors.

IMAO, if you stay in A/C or stay out of it for longer periods, you're fine. It's the constant in and out that is a killer.
From meat locker to steam sauna in the space of one step. Then after a lovely walk dripping pleasurable sweat from everywhere (even the soles of your feet), back to Antartica in July again. Then all that sweat just chills you.
Summer office colds absolutely suck as they hang on for a long time, until the weather modulates.

In the old days, houses were built with summer ventilation and avoiding heat loads. Tree cover, alignment with prevailing winds, and central halls allowing cross flow and all that. Wrap around porches with roofs to prevent direct insolation through the windows.
That is lost knowledge. Now, they just slap a bunch of house right in the middle of the sun, no consideration for ventilation and insolation and all that.

Anyway, grandma would strip the beds and soak the sheets in the tub and wring them out in the summer before putting them back on the beds, because that is just what you did to deal with the heat. Among other things before AC.

People today wonder “how could they live without ac?” But don’t realize your body acclimatizes to what you have to live without. Some decades ago I worked outside in Arizona; of course no one went out in the afternoons when it would go past 110, but mornings in the 90’s would feel positively cool by comparison.

I was around 5 or 6 when we moved to our second house. There was a smaller AC in the wall which barely did the job. It died the first year and my father bought a 33,000 BTU wall job, and since it was a ranch he put it in the side wall to where it just fired through the entire house. You could hang meat in the house with that thing. I grew up in arctic temperatures in the summer and its habit I still practice. When I moved a few years ago I had an AC contractor friend of mine do an entire new system in the first december here so it would be ready when the time came. Old system worked, but was too old for me to trust it. I have 2 settings. Off, and Hoth. Nothing like having to sleep in a tauntaun in summer.

Right now I have no gold diggers in my life. Whew.
The story I can tell, is all four of the women had met my late wife, and I knew all of them for more than 10 years as coworkers or acquaintances.
One of the four, the one I knew the least about, was telling me her friends were very protective, and it had been decades since she went out with someone. They had concerns.
I told her to tell her friends that "I was a sailor and was just after her body." Mistake!! Ooopsie.
She then told me she was a deaconess at her church.
She does not communicate any more.

Many newer vehicles have replaced the resistor block with an electronic controller. The fan speed switch simply sends a digital code to the controller, which adjusts the current flow to the fan motor.
If you have to work under the dash for any length of time, take the seat out, and place some padding on the floor. An old foamy, or a comforter will make a huge difference.

Government non accountability accounting often uses a 10 year period. I also herd somewhere that the BBB would cause 14 million deaths. 14m/10y/365d = 383 deaths per day due to starvation and disease. Kids, the under 17 crowd are about 20% of the population.
I am estimating that 76 kids will wake up each day with sudden onset starvation and disease and be dead by the end of the day. For the next 10 years. It is horror upon horror ahead.

Sandy Cortez is what I always call her. I refuse to submit to referring to her by her preferred "market-tested and approved" moniker.
Just like Mike Obama's wife will always be Barry Soetoro to me.

But Speaker says rescissions coming soon, which will un-spend your money, in effect. Also 2 more reconciliations - something I truly don't understand and cannot recall.

No intention to hurt anybody, and never did.
But a War is a War.
And we fought. If one side ran out, they were supplied by the other side.

There were also 31 rescissions in the OBBB including defunding abortions R us. And returns to regular order for the first time since like 10 which makes further recessions possible.

It's actually cutting things out of the budget, you are cutting back or eliminating money that was passed in previous budgets.

Government non accountability accounting often uses a 10 year period. I also herd somewhere that the BBB would cause 14 million deaths. 14m/10y/365d = 383 deaths per day due to starvation and disease. Kids, the under 17 crowd are about 20% of the population.
I am estimating that 76 kids will wake up each day with sudden onset starvation and disease and be dead by the end of the day. For the next 10 years. It is horror upon horror ahead.

Which is impressive since the Repeal of Net Neutrality and the tax cuts from Trumps first term wiped out 85% of life on Earth.

I like to point this out to "Pali"-loving fuckwits. People who lose wars don't get to determine their borders. Germany lost vast amounts of territory between 1914 and 1945. So why would you want to give a gang of retarded Arab goat-humpers back the land they weren't able to hang on to, just because they thought the might of seven stupendous Western-equipped Islamist theocracies could wipe out a bunch of underfunded, under-equipped, under-trained Jews in 1948? You want to press the RESET button when it turns out you fucking suck? Go fuck yourself.

When I was up there regular order was the norm, CRs had terms of 5-10 days (always around Christmas), and never dealt with reconciliation or rescissions (which were rare). Reconciliation was mostly about what it was supposed to be about, because it wasn't effectively the only bill that would pass in a given year (privileged matter in the Senate). Of course the Dems weren't nearly as robotic and monolithic as today.

My Dad and Grandfather got a hold of bronze propeller shaft and promptly made 2 three foot sailing ship cannons. This are rumored to have been fired off on the 4 of the July. It is also rumored that police helicopters would show up over the neighborhood.

far cry, I have used similar capsule history lessons in the past. I remember saying "hmm, why is it that Okinawans can't just go anywhere on their island? And what happened to Bolivia's Pacific coast? East Prussia seems to have disappeared. And I coulda sworn Alsace-Lorraine was German." Problem is, as with almost everything, that literate sarcasm is utterly lost on ignorant people. Like trying to explain digital photography to a hamster.

We are in Alaska. We have one time zone. Used to be four, because we are so big.
So, it is the same time in Southeast (panhandle) as in the Aleutian Chain. Sorta like if the entire Lower 48 was one time zone.
We mostly don't care, because it is light in the summer and dark in the winter, so the assignment of time is rather moot.
