Wednesday Cafe

Village of Tissington in the Peak District
@peaklass1

Puppy is having a nightmare so an adult dog comes over.

Fashionably furry bag.

Senior dog is full of love.

This puppy is too cute.

Bringing home the new puppy.

Cat Action Photography!


Mom needs some meow-time.

According to Grok, it's real:

The post displays a heartwarming video of an orangutan named Suryia playfully interacting with, carrying, and bottle-feeding tiger cubs at Myrtle Beach Safari in South Carolina.
Filmed in 2015, the clip shows the male orangutan mimicking human caretakers after they bottle-fed rejected cubs, leading to daily supervised play and bonding sessions.
Replies question if the footage is AI-generated, but it is authentic and predates current AI video tech, having amassed tens of millions of views over the past decade.

10 Our 10mo old baby girl and siblings have a Golden, who grew up with toddler brother and baby older sister.

Penny (the dog) is patient and kind as baby grabs fist fulls of her fur with both hands, laughing. I then have to wash her hands before the fists of fur go into her mouth.

Goldens are the sweetest of doggies and I am very biased after knowing 3 of them. Always smiling and wanting to please.

I now want a baby lamb. And I dream of riding a horse on a beach...that horse must know the route. I figured he'd bolt at the tunnel, but nope!

20 Cleo the Bengal kitty has been in my house for almost two weeks now.

I'm still surprised at how remarkably smooth her integration into my house has been so far.

Kaylee's chased her under the couch a couple of times, but so far Kaylee has been behaving today.

I'll probably put Chloe in the library by herself when I go to bed just so I'm not awoken by caterwauling when two strange cats encounter each other in a dark hallway.

24 Village of Tissington in the Peak District

Tissington is a village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Tissington and Lea Hall, in the Derbyshire Dales district of Derbyshire, England. In 2001 the parish had a population of 158. The population "Tissington and Lea Hall" at the 2011 census was 159. It is part of the estate of Tissington Hall, owned by the FitzHerbert family since 1465.

In 1125, William Fitz-Herbert was granted the tenancy of Norbury Manor in Norbury, Derbyshire. Nicholas FitzHerbert and his son Ralph purchased it from the priory in 1444. The senior male line of the family held the manor until selling it in 1881. The original charter from King Henry III of England in 1125 has survived.

Can I bitch and moan? I need to bitch and moan.

I'm hauling this trailer around and the other day one of the airbags under the trailer (they're part of the suspension) blew. Fuck. After some bullshit, eventually got fixed *after* getting a load. Great. Fantastic. Rolling along the next day and BANG! Two airbags in the OTHER side blow. Fuck. Pull into a Love's. They try but can't fix it. Load's too heavy, they don't have jacks good enough to lift the trailer. Problem is the trailer is nearly riding on the tires. Good news! There's a place down the road that can help. Bad news, have to wait until morning.

I'm sick of this fucking trailer. It's one problem after the next. The load delivers Friday afternoon in San Antonio and I would like to be home by the weekend. Fuck my life.

They are restarting the Philadelphia ship yards and bringing in foreign countries because our Navy has fallen way behind China which has an enormous naval advantage over us. This is one of Trump's biggest initiatives. Are you saying Trump is corrupt? That seems odd.

Naval contracts for new ships of virtual every class are being awarded to states all over the country. Not gonna apologize for my state, which suffered greatly as the Navy was allowed to wither, winning a contract to build some of them.

He's struggling to make them understand that he *needs* compensation so that he has the funds to build ships, but they just want to take them NOW and maybe someday compensate him later if they win the war.

164 I simultaneously believe a lot of China's shipbuilding is tofu AND that we truly, desperately, need both more shipyards and more ships AND that there's lots of corruption in the shipbuilding process.

165 All this contracting with private companies is so unseemly and crooked.
——

It’s a legacy going back to 1941 for the most part.

After Pearl Harbor, the government came within a red nether hair of completely nationalizing all industries and manufacturing. Very close. But keep in mind they wanted to maximize production. They wanted to actually win a two front global war, which was in some doubt on both fronts.

Cooler, wiser heads prevailed. So while they prohibited production of all consumer civilian goods, with rare exception, they settled on an incentive program for manufacturers.

Cost, plus 15%

Multitude is the wrong word to use here. Freidman would have not used it in the first place since he cultivated a more "folksy" approach to his audiences, and "a variety of reasons" is really more approachable for gen.pop.con.
Multitude has implications of "more than three" and so far you have only given two reasons. I admit there are more implied, but you really need to foreshadow more to make it work.

As posts go, I have to give it a C, it is not melding into a stream anywhere so it is jarring, and it does not carry enough information to stand on its own. I commend you on following the advice of your spellcheck however!

The Navy has been allowed to deteriorate for decades and the only way we can stop the process is a massive infrastructure investment. We need hulls now and shipyards for tomorrow.

The thing you are missing is that those shipyards can also be used to make merchant ships, rebuilding the US commercial fleet. This has been a major topic in Navy circles for years and Trump is finally actually doing it.

It is in deal with ship construction. You want a ship that can take hit after hit. It's the Platonic ideal.

China builds a ton of crap, building falls down, roads washing away, bridges collapsing, but their civilian ships seem pretty durable. Gotta respect that.

Not sure the point you are trying to make here. Shipyards are a dual-use facility. They can make hulls for war or commerce. We need more of them, or one day China will just embargo us and our overseas trade will grind to a halt.

The US rose to greatness because we had massive shipbuilding capacity. We got complacent (and greedy) and let it atrophy. It must be restored if we are to maintain our security.

Those are called veiled allegations, and you have not as yet provided any support for them other than "anyone but a credulous fool understands" type arguments.
So go ahead, you have made your opening statement, you are now primed to convince everyone of how right you are by showing us your exhaustive understanding of the facts and demonstrating your mastery by explaining them.

Shoulder-fired missiles require eyesight, and can be effective. The old school AAA mounts also present a problem.

Darkness limits them both, forcing the AAA to activate its radar and the MANPADs are less effective.

When Maduro was selling government subsidized toilet paper in Venezuela, Colombians would cross the border, buy it from the vendors at a percentage above the government mandated price, and ship truckloads back to Colombia to sell at competitive prices there, realizing a tidy profit on the sale.
Some of the TP wound up going back to Venezuela because the Venezuelan's closest supplier was Colombia, and that is where it came from originally.

It ended when everyone realized how stupid the whole thing was.

284 I think we're about to watch the "establishment" of a party get taken down by... the establishment of that party. Or at least that's the plan. Which would be entertaining but commie adherents looooove being lied to. By the time it becomes obvious to most here what the DSA op really is, people will forget they ever thought it was anything else.

I remember saying in 2016 that by the time Trump beats Hillary he's gonna make it look so easy it will be considered "obvious" in hindsight. And that's what happened by and large. We went from two years of "Hillary is impossible to dethrone" to she was a "terrible candidate".

This is the same deal. The DSA op is an op. They are trying to jerk the world and this country Left and take the "anti-establishment" mantle back from the man who almost wrestled it completely away. The ONLY saving grace is Trump is still here and maybe this move they are about to dump on the country - and in particular his counter move against it (which we haven't seen yet) - is in fact why God spared him.

The healthcare part of the Kaiser industry ate the company.

With cheap energy and a technically educated populace, you can make steel, aluminum, plastics, etc. and then build things with them.

With expensive energy and non technical education which most of our presidents since Nixon dealt with, we cannot compete as easily.

And our merchant marine and fishing fleets have shrunken due to Chicoms invading our fishing grounds plus hoovering up the world's fisheries and we abandoned running shipping lines due to expensive regulations.

Our ship building business shriveled because we allowed for foreign boatyards to steal our business-first Japan, then S. Korea, now it is China. And our few remaining shipyards got used to high priced contracts on decades long building boat projects for DoD.
