Elon sure isn't into the trapping of wealth and opulence and all that like so many other billionaires. He just sees money as the means to an end, and that's gettting humanity untied from this third rock.

His ambition may be to be god-emperor of Mars one day, but that would just be sort of trophy.

33 I finally finished the stocking that I started making for Grandson the Younger last night. I had to put it away for a whole year because the previous chemo meds that I was on made my hands shake and adversely affected my vision.

Thankfully the protocol that I am currently on doesn't cause those side effects.

The shop where I send my pieces to be finished has a cut-off date for stocking finishing of September 1st, so Niko's stock8ng will be ready to hang with the rest of the family's stockings this Christmas! 🎄🎄🎄

It's not quite as elaborate as the ones that I made for other family members, but when I got my initial diagnosis I didn't think I would be around/able to make a complicated stocking in time for him.

And Elon and Donald shall ne’er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be rememberèd—
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in America now abed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon the Elon-Donald era.

56 Carmelo Anthony's Dad:

Went on CBS Morning today and said his son Carmelo was tried "by an all white jury."

This is known to lawyers by the technical term "Bullzh*t!!!"

There was 1 Asian on the trial jury (i.e., not alternates), and 2 other jurors of Indian background (i.e., from India).*

I'm pretty sure that none of those 3 jurors identify as "white." Carmelo's Dad RE-ASSIGNED them to an ethnic/racial background that supported his argument .

I know you're as shocked as I that Carmelo's Dad lied, i.e., I'm not shocked at all. You?

* (I realize that India is in Asia, but that's how Breitbart described the jury.)

60 Given that SIL#1 didn't think enough of the piece that I made for them for their wedding - and DD#1 told us that he left the afghans that I made for her and grandson #1 at their house after they sold it - I have already told DD#3 that when I am gone she will be given full custody of ALL of the stitched and crocheted pieces made by me. Including all of the stockings (which are still in our possession).

I spent too much time, love, and money on all of those to have them go to someone who apparently doesn't possess the sentimentality gene.

SIL#1 is a dear man, but he is a little bit on the spectrum....

61 Okay, Horde, Ol' Robbo is going to try this staying up late thing, at least until my extra glass of wine runs out.

Back in HS, I was a Latin Nerd and participated in our local, regional, state, and national competitions. In one of them, I was talked into submitting an entry for the art competition.

I did a sketch of the Greek fleet on its way to Troy.

I got dinged because the experts, while appreciating my compositional talent, balked at my renditions of masted and sailed ships. Said they were historickally inaccurate.

Feh.

I spent the rest of the competition trying to pick up hot, nerdy chicks, of whom there were not a few.

102 On a completely different note, picked up an Orbea Hermanos revolver today. Exquisite, Smith and Wesson clone in .32 long. Previous owner even put S&W grips on it for me.
Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H. Lloyd


FWIW I have an Orbea in 8mm Lebel and two Euskaro revolvers built by Trocaola Aranzabal y Cia (who took up the Euskaro patent after Orbea Hermanos renounced it). One in .44 Russian, the Spanish service revolver round, and the other in .455 made for the British in WWI.

Check your Orbea in .32 Long since the French ordered a metric buttload of those in 8mm Lebel revolver and Orbea was pretty negligent in labeling them. Mine I bought in .32 long that is actually an 8mm Lebel.

Wolff Gunsprings has replacement springs if you find your Spanish springs are brittle by the way.
The Spanish revolvers are a lot of fun. They simplified the S&W design, and handfitted everything so they need a competent gunsmith, but no one understands the cartridge designation and there is a lot of fear of the soft steel.

I can get you some online sources for Spanish pistols if you are interested.

Went on CBS Morning today and said his son Carmelo was tried "by an all white jury."

This is known to lawyers by the technical term "Bullzh*t!!!"

There was 1 Asian on the trial jury (i.e., not alternates), and 2 other jurors of Indian background (i.e., from India).*

I'm pretty sure that none of those 3 jurors identify as "white." Carmelo's Dad RE-ASSIGNED them to an ethnic/racial background that supported his argument .

I know you're as shocked as I that Carmelo's Dad lied, i.e., I'm not shocked at all. You?

* (I realize that India is in Asia, but that's how Breitbart described the jury.)

159 The cute 2 year old girl singing “Let It Go” from Frozen was pretty good, but I think it was staged a bit. She knows not sing when the pianist does a solo, you have to wonder who’s recording the video since her mother is in the crowd, other little tells, but what gets me is the crowd looks like it was cast by Hollywood. Too perfectly diverse in every way, too perfectly behaved. I suspect everyone was in on the performance. Maybe I’m a bit cynical: at least it wasn’t AI.

There are three kinds of spectator sports.

Exciting run-and-gun contests where you can't take your eyes off the game. NHL, and NBA before the last two minutes.

College football used to be the happy medium, back when commercials were at the mercy of normal stoppages of play. But then there were the TV timeouts.

That being said, rivalry games are next level. Back when Michigan State was firing on all cylinders (like 10 years ago), hosting Michigan was absolutely lit. Three hours of pure fury raging from the stands. Watching the Skunk Bears crumple under the pressure of the hate was a joy.

Drugs and alcohol

Posted by: BeckoningChasm at June 12, 2026 11:36 PM (CHHv1)

237 I only tried to get out of jury duty once said it was successful because it was a 6-week massive drug trial in Manhattan. I got a letter from my shrink and showed up dressed all in black with crystals for jewelry, and my shrinks letter said that I was a fragile individual so the judge actually let me escape. The 24 lawyers in the court gave me pitying looks as I left.

But I did serve three times including grand jury because I do believe strongly that if the good citizens with more than three brain cells to rub together don't serve, then the system collapses. Our mom used to impress upon us that it was part of our civic duty. She was right.

Spanish pistol designations are strange, I wound up with .44 Russian because the pistol said on the rib ".44 Smith and Wesson Cartridge" which is a really obsolete pistol cartridge, but I knew [buff my nails on my lapel] it was .44 Russian and no one else bidding did.
I am not so sure about the .32 Long, but I think it is the .32 S&W long. It was manufactured by National Company Santa Bárbara of Military Industries per Municion.org

250 I'm certainly not Mr. Finance, and I generally like Musk as he seems to be one of the very few moneyed elite that isn't solely obsessed with getting more money and forcing people to do what he wants, but I don't really get why he keeps getting richer and richer. Seems like most of what he does are the sorts of things where you break even if you are lucky. He's not building Model Ts or running the world's biggest online store or even collecting data for the government. He makes tunnels, builds a niche car, and runs an internet provider service while developing rockets. I don't get it.

It takes three to five days on the drainboard for the bubbling to start.

My wife's kimchi is cut up Napa cabbage sweated down in salt for about an hour, and then rinsed. Then mix in shredded carrots, green onions, cut up daikon radish, minced garlic, and then add in red pepper flakes and a tablespoon of sugar just before you pack it into the gallon jars. It takes about three days for it to start bubbling on the drain board too. She eats it within a week because she doesn't like it to soggy.
