25 Was watching a video the other night that as a side point noted that absent agriculture there really isn't much food for the easy taking in nature and thinking about the hunter/gatherer life style in the pre-civilized desert areas of the southwest I imagine life for those Indians was hard...

Many, by no means all, but many nations particularly plains tribes basically had the system where the females - squaws - performed all of the menial drudge work, collecting firewood, scraping hides etc. The warriors laid around, smoked, and gambled.

76 Wheels...sure. all they have to do is go down to the wheel shop and buy a pair. With an axel. And a spare. And a hitch. And rig it up to the horse. And somehow carve a road on the open plains. And place wheel shops every hundred miles along the route to repair them or replace them.

77 The way small pox came to the mainland Indians is kind of odd.

In the 1510s he heard about a rich tribe in Mexico and left Spanish held Cuba with a group of adventurers.

He disobeyed the colonial governor who then sent an army to bring him back. When the army got to Cortez he offered them a choice - arrest me and go back to working for a pittance under the governor or join me and get rich. The speech was apparently a good one as the governor's small army joined him.

And...one of the men in the governor's army had small pox. So as they travelled around Mexico building alliances and fighting hostile tribes they also spread the disease.

But none of it was intentional. And amusing directly opposite of what the Spanish government had ordered.

104 I like the horse in the foreground and its accoutrements: vivid and detailed. The sheen on the horse's coat is especially effective. The people and the background are much more generic and indistinct. Maybe that's the point. I do question weather the man wearing the war bonnet is accurate. Seems out of place for a simple encampment.

For my taste, the painting would be more effective if it was just the horse as it is against the simple background. The people are superfluous.

And you come swannin' in with your fancy cart and your two—two!—whole wheels, like you're the bleedin' king of the universe!
We had to make do with one wheel—one!—and that was only because me old grandad found half a millstone and we lashed it to a plank with string we nicked off a dead sheep! And we were grateful!
You lot with your four wheels, your greased axles, your not-fallin'-over-every-three-steps... luxury!
Back in my day, if we wanted to move anything heavier than a bucket of mud, we just picked it up and walked till our legs fell off, then we crawled the rest of the way! And we liked it!
But nooo, now everyone's got wheels like it's the bleedin' Renaissance or somethin'. Spoiled, the lot of ya!
Luxury! Luxury, I tell ya! We didn't have wheels... we had spirit! And blisters! And more spirit! And even more blisters!
Now bugger off with your fancy rolling contraption before I start a proper revolution right here in this puddle!

The west as a whole can't come to terms with the fact there is almost an infinite desire for "free" healthcare.

Ironically for people that are working they don't have time to constantly go to the doctor but if you are on welfare...why not?

So if healthcare is a "right" eventually we will either spend EVERY dollar we produce on it, the government and/or its intermediaries will ration it, or we will have to remove most government involvement in healthcare

175 I love this place:

A new Tennessee law went into effect on January 1, 2026, that declares certain out-of-state driver's licenses invalid in Tennessee — specifically those issued exclusively to illegal aliens.

Tennessee now officially does not recognize out-of-state driver's licenses that are issued only to undocumented immigrants.

Driving in Tennessee with such an invalid license is classified as a Class B misdemeanor, which can carry penalties of up to 6 months in jail and/or fines.

The law requires the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security to maintain and publish a list of which out-of-state licenses are considered invalid under this provision.

No, that's the Chicoms. Imperial China was a bully, but put a lot of work into building infrastructure, optimizing cropland, etc. Think of the terraced rice paddies. Two, maybe three harvests a year.

Communists think only of short-term, meeting the Five Year Plan. No one owns anything, so you can't pass anything on. Build shitty stuff, and then build it again, getting paid each time.

I don't understand why they just don't sink these vessels. What is China gonna do, declare war on Peru or Chile?

It may come to that. While the Chinese sometimes respect the 200 mile limit, they're clearly ignoring the long term health of the fisheries. The Monroe Doctrine may be relevant.

The decision to use the Legend class of cutters as the basis for a new frigate is the right one, and this shows why. Not all naval vessels need to be rugged combatants. Sometimes you just need a good seaboat with lots of endurance, modest armament, ASW cabability and a chopper or two.

They're cheap, we've made ten so far, and they work great. Long range and endurance as well.

They were designed with conversions in mind. Built for towed sonar, designed with survivability (compartmentalization) and they are excellent ships in all weather and have 90 days of endurance.

So we're going to get ships that crossover nicely in terms of parts compatibility and maintenance, the Coasties can conduct familiarization training NOW, before any more are built, and while the first flight won't have vertical launch tubes, those can be added to later batches.

An Oakland resident has been charged with secretly taking a nude picture of his girlfriend's 16-year-old family member while she sat on the toilet, court records show.

The suspect, 44-year-old Elder Lopez, allegedly drank alcohol, then fell asleep on his girlfriend's couch while listening to music, authorities said. When he woke up, he was surrounded by Oakland police, who'd been called there by his girlfriend after she allegedly went through his phone and found the picture, according to court records.

Like I said earlier, Classic Trump. He does love to bloviate.

Yes, but do the Iranians in the street know that? If they assume this is a promise of military assistance, which it certainly sounds like, they'll be disappointed - to say the least. I want them on our side after the mullahs fall.

283 They were designed with conversions in mind. Built for towed sonar, designed with survivability (compartmentalization) and they are excellent ships in all weather and have 90 days of endurance.

So we're going to get ships that crossover nicely in terms of parts compatibility and maintenance, the Coasties can conduct familiarization training NOW, before any more are built, and while the first flight won't have vertical launch tubes, those can be added to later batches.

286 Indians in Camp at 101 Ranch, 1922
Emil W. Lenders
American, 1865-1934
Memorial Park Cemetery, Oklahoma City, Ok

Artvee: Says the artist was born in London and reared in Germany. (Other sites say he was born in Germany.)

Emil W. Lender became successively a Philadelphia alderman, wild west show trouper, and Oklahoma rancher before achieving his ambition to becoming a painter of plains animals.
--
(AI Overviews) The 101 Ranch was a massive (>100,000 acres), innovative cattle ranch in Oklahoma, famous for its Miller Brothers 101 Ranch Real Wild West Show featuring stars like Bill Pickett and Tom Mix, its role in early Western filmmaking, and its eventual decline due to financial issues in the 1930s, leaving behind a legacy as a symbol of the Old West.

The 101 Ranch became an iconic symbol of the frontier, influencing Western lore and culture, with remnants of its grand headquarters still a landmark in Oklahoma.

If they were smart they'd have civil structure, roads that were dual use as landing strips for supply and I'm sure they do. And russia/china would love to take down a stealth aircraft. A single moment's penetration of airspace accompanied by decoys is completely different than maintaining a bombing campaign to take out structure. Much more risky. I'm not saying I'm a proponent of the US getting involved and our people getting put in harms way at all.

360 Was watching a video the other night that as a side point noted that absent agriculture there really isn't much food for the easy taking in nature and thinking about the hunter/gatherer life style in the pre-civilized desert areas of the southwest I imagine life for those Indians was hard...

It was noted in the Journal of Lewis and Clark that they did not encounter any fat Indians until they hit the Pacific Northwest.
