I would like to acknowledge that the land we now occupy once belonged to His Majesty the King of England, but he and the parliament that runs his government started acting like a bunch of douchecanoes, so we kicked their asses out and started running things ourselves.
It all worked out for the best, for us, and humanity as a whole.
If you want it back, too freakin' bad, it's ours now.
Posted by: tankdemon at July 03, 2026 10:23 PM (J+z4U)
Then tomorrow of course.
Then Sunday.
When they run out of fireworks they will start shooting their guns.
Well, it's their money.. Hopefully they don't shoot someone,
or start a fire or pass out drunk.

Japan is doing fireworks for America's 250th and they had a gigantic light display of a sort of line drawing of Trump. Suit, red tie, and MAGA cap.
JAPAN, go figure -- while our cities are doing land acknowledgments.

Their flag to April’s breeze unfurled,
Here once the embattled farmers stood
And fired the shot heard round the world.
So Europe had about 1400 years to become the Exceptional State(s).
They failed.
We succeeded.

Between their loved home and the war's desolation,
Blessed with vict'ry and peace, may the heav'n rescued land,
Praise the power that hath made and preserved us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave,
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

With all that was going on with my mother yesterday, I wasn't paying attention to the weather, but yesterday the high here at the weather station was 99.5F, with the dew point hitting 82F. That pushed the heat index to 120.6F yesterday at 3:45PM. Those latter two are record highs for my station here.

Have always been proud to be an American. I have to say the international fans of the World Cup were an extra special surprise gift for our 250th birthday! We take so much for granted here. Waffle House?
I would imagine many felt homesick for our freedoms, food, free refils, smiles, and AC when they got back to the UK and Europe.
I'd like to see our government try to confiscate A/C.
Happy 250th Birthday, Moron's and 'ettes. Many wish they were us.
God bless you all and may God bless and protect the USA for another 250yrs.
Prayers for protection tomorrow for our country, our President, and our military.

Fer ships sake, it's not like the founding lead guitarist is a friend of the blog and has posted here before....
2) Posts the song specifically written for the movie which was rejected because it tells the entire Taarna story, beautifully, in under 5 minutes (and is a great song in its own right)
www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0T8bzaxL14
(Also by BOC with a cool solo by Buck and fantastic arranging by the Bouchard brothers)

My buddy and I were towing his boat to Florida when one of the tires on the boat trailer came apart. We were in the middle of Georgia and had no idea where we could find someone who could deal with it.
Searched for auto repair shops in the area and somehow came up with a heavy equipment repair shop. They told us to come on over. So we come on over.
Like 5 guys come out to see what's up, they take the trailer off the truck, pick the boat and trailer up with a ginormous forklift, and change the tire like an Indy pit crew. Charged us $30. And gave us coffee cups with their logo.
Yea, pretty cool country.

Pros of them passing out drunk:

So technically, it may be for the best if the non-smokers pass out. Just not the smokers.

Car belongs to a friend of many years' standing. Only has about 45000 miles on it. He wanted to get the engine resealed to cure oil leaks. Took it to a guy we both know and trust. It ran a few miles, lost oil pressure, and hammered out the bearings. He took it to another shop; guy said the first put a wrong oil filter on it (not convinced of that), rebuilt engine to the tune of $6000. Ran for a few months, lost oil pressure, and began to knock. Now it is here. One thing I will be looking for is a missing fiber disc check valve in the oil filter adapter. One of those falling out could cause a total loss of oil pressure.

But then, a cold air damming thing kicked in on Aug 2, and we set several lowest high records for those days. So we went from setting "hot" records to setting "cool" records turning on dime.

My wife has a rule. I am not allowed to be left unsupervised in public for more than twenty minutes. I was in line at a garden center with a 50 pound bag of bird seed. A woman asked if I had a lot of birds. I said no, it was for a holistic cleanse I was trying. High protein. Great for hair. I said I lost 30 pounds last summer but ended up in the emergency room for two weeks. She gasped and asked if I got a parasite. I said no, I was perched on a telephone pole trying to sleep and a hawk knocked me off. Fell forty feet. She froze. My wife came back from the bathroom, saw her face, grabbed my arm and dragged me out. She told the woman I was kidding. This is why we can't have nice things. Worth every second.

Once, riding my bike on the Potomac trail that goes by the Pentagon and National Airport. Started at high point in DC, roughly. Before I got to the airport - chills. Declining energy. Oh well. Walked the bike home, stopping for a cold drink somewhere along the way.
Second time, another blazing August day, temp near 100. Decided to get in 9 holes at Hains Point (golf course I guess Trump is changing). Teed off on the 3rd. Walking up the fairway ..... chills. Headache (never, ever have headaches). Oh well. Cooled off in the clubhouse. Contractor running the place at the time was a hockey acquaintance, so unlimited refills.
Next day left on a work trip around the world (returning to US in Anchorage, Alaska Air served Russian far east back then). Have never pushed my luck since.

With Trump looking down and whispering: NO, because Elon didn't fund the Trump Accounts to the tune that pleased him, and his new BFF/Bezos can not only has own constellation of geo's, lunar landers, robots, and AI, but actually sells products that people really want. Bezo's fancy of putting Amazon women on the moon who wear purple wigs like the 70's Series/UFO is just icing on the cake.

Traditional nuclear reactors produce around 1000 MWe or more of electricity per unit. SMRs, by contrast, are defined by their modest electrical output – typically less than 300 MWe. Some definitions extend to medium-sized reactors of up to 600 MWe. The smallest designs, with capacities typically less than 20 MWe, are sometimes called microreactors.

Those Milankovitch cycles are very long compared to our human scales. All of recorded history is a but fraction of the shortest of those cycles. However, in a way, you can see their effects every so slightly on a human scale.
The Erf's axial tilt has decreased since I was I born in 1967 to make the length of the day 3 seconds shorter on the summer solstice. And to make the winter solstice 4 seconds longer.
And precession of perihelion works out to about 1 day per 58 years. Perihelion and aphelion occur about 1 day later since I was born.

There are several of these based on different "proxies". Then Greenland ice core use the O-18 to O-16 ratios. Water with O18 is a different sort of "heavy water" (and just imagine all the different combinations with H and D vs the O isotopes).
O-18 water's evaporates less and condenses quicker the colder it gets. So, when it's a colder year, less O18 waters gets deposited, and less O18 leaves the oceans. There's some way they can see the variation in O18 levels at the surface over time, too.
Anyway, all those different proxies look about the same over the Holocene (and all show the dramatic Younger Dryas event), but they will differ on the peaks a little bit.
But all show a peak at around 7000 yrs ago, the Holocene Climate Optimum. The Greenland cores show the Roman period was about as warm. Others will show a local peak then, but not as much as the 7K year one.
So, we can say we've been cooler and no warmer than that over the whole Holocene till now. And we're cooler now at present than any of the peaks.

Over hundreds of millions of years, Erf oscillates between "greenhouse" and "icehouse" states. Guess what we're in now, and have been for a long time. Icehouse state. During an icehouse, we have polar ice caps. During Greenhouse, no polar ice at all.
Antarctica has been at the south pole for a long time, but not always covered in ice. During the last greenhouse state, the temperature there was nice and warm. Life, plant and animal thrived.
And they thrived under polar night and day conditions. I would love to see that. Just how the heck everything was adapted to midnight sun, with no night, and then near 6 months of polar night.
Turns the diurnal cycle on its head. I don't think they know much about, other than it existed. Plant and animal life in warm temperatures under those polar night/day conditions.

That's another very interesting one. I've listened to many debates on that.

Currently, I may have to recuse myself because the Zydeco accordion is becoming dominant in my Personal Space

"Anatomically modern humans" go back to at least 300K years. See the "Million year old human skull" for something that might push that way back, and rewrite the whole timeline.
So, we'll take the low figure, 300,000 years. We've been around that long, and only during the last 5000 did we actually do anything other than run around like primitives?

We named ourselves Homo sapiens, "Man the Wise". The older subspecies thing, Homo sapiens sapiens (which fell out of favor) would be "Man the wise, the really wise".
A lot of hubris there, wouldn't you think. Some aliens might be more objective in naming us. They might choose Homo Lamontis. Man the Big Dummy.

Oddly enough, the Poet Laureate of Hungary wrote a poem along those lines inspired, somehow by me, in the course of a late nite alcohol-supported discussion/argument/language play.
I thanked him when it was published, according to the Official Authorities, as "the immortal verses of our National Poet".
"Basz meg, Peter, azert en mar immortalis is!"
(Fuck, Peter, I'm now immortal too!)

I was looking at artist depictions (don't know how close to accurate they would be) of all the other Homo species that have been found.
Ugly fuckers, all of them. Of course, they'd probably think we were terrible looking.

Up until comment 399, I thought that Taylor S should've chosen Las Vegas over NYC. The Strip IS expensiver, but Henderson ...
But Publius correctly mentions that the event will generate a lot of ... paid ... work for the NYPD, stressing the entire force unnecessarily ...
... but, it also puts a big hurt on Mamdani's budget(s).
Where will Big M get the money? Tax the wealthy of MYC even more? At last some of them deserve i. Ask Mama H, up in Albany, for cash? How has that worked out before. Asking The Donald? Hah.
My guess is that a bunch of Big M's Socialist Paradise Programs will get erased from his promises.

Got you covered - after the comments here I was curious if ChatGPT would have some guardrails (since we know how politically unbiased these LLMs are) on the following:"Generate a realistic picture of Mt. Rushmore, but with the bust of President Trump added, in a similar style as the other Presidents on the mountain."
Actually not too bad:
