Daily Tech News 20 December 2025
Top Story
- A couple of weeks ago I found a mini-PC that was priced - in Australia at least - at just 20% more than the cost of the RAM it includes. It uses regular laptop DIMMs so even if the PC doesn't turn out ideal it's a decent price and lets me upgrade any laptop I buy during the memory drought.
Right after I bought it the price went up and I thought I'd ordered just in time, but then the price came back down.
And a week ago memory prices had climbed to match the price of the whole computer, so I bought another one. I have them both set up and they seem to work well.
And now as memory prices continue to climb, the memory alone is 20% more than the cost of the entire computer, so, yeah, you know it. I think I'm set for computers for a while.
I tried out Ethernet-over-Thunderbolt networking today. Plugged in the cable between the two PCs and got instant 20Gb Ethernet. Magic.
It's not a perfect system - the Ryzen 7 255 lacks an NPU, and it only has one rear USB-A port and that port is USB 2.0 - and it's not one I can recommend to most readers because it costs60%70% more in the US than in Australia. But it's pretty good for my needs given the destruction that AI buildouts are wreaking on affordability right now.
- Elon Musk's $56 billion Tesla pay package, previously set aside by the corrupt Chancery Court in Delaware in an action that led to the company shifting its registration to Texas, has been restored by the Delaware Supreme Court. (Tech Crunch)
Though given the increase in Tesla's share price over the intervening years, it is now a $140 billion pay package.
So nice going, guys.

- Yann Lecun, until recently the chief AI scientist at Meta, has founded a startup to work on AI systems that aren't hot garbage and is looking to raise funds at a $5 billion valuation. (Tech Crunch)
Key to the new system is building an AI that knows things, rather than just going by statistical language patterns. That is, it has a world model as well as a language model, and the world model is definitive.
This is one of the four steps absolutely required to build a generally useful AI.

One is of him in a jacuzzi with a girl.
The other is in a pool with more girls.
The one of him on the plane with a blonde girl sitting on his lap has been around for awhile.
The rest I’ve seen look like typical wealthy party shots with some celebrities (Jagger, Jackson, Ross) here and there.
I am pretty sure one pic I saw was of Walter Cronkite (nothing is captioned) sitting on a couch talking to two other men on a different couch.

"Optus" sounds like a Marvel villain, or a code name for a nefarious Thrush project. (Weren't they all nefarious, though?) Or a Thrush agent whose real identity no one knows.
In 1990, when ST:TNG had its big confrontation with the Borg and Picard was turned into one of them, I referred to the episodes as "The Borg Are Back in Town."

In reality, anything by The Who. Like Pinball Wizard. My husband knows not to play The Who in the car with me. Almost anything else. I have him well trained.
Starting tomorrow I will mail my Christmas cards! I realize they will be late but figure there are 12 Days of Christmas and a Happy New Year as well!
Also, without snow, my life is depleted like a sad trombone, so my ho, ho, ho has been slow out of the starting gate of Thanksgiving. But it's there and we have lovely grandchildren who will bring great joy, as they do every day.

The Navy was really screwed under Obama. Got super-woke because the Secretary was next-level crazy. Wanted to abolish the term "seamen" because it was sexist.
The Air Force lucked out, because the chick Obama planted actually liked the service, and when she was asked about getting rid of "Airmen" said "Oh hell no. I'm proud to be an Airman. Fuck off."
Charlie Brown then screwed us hard.

That was Biden's madness at work. Ships couldn't be repainted at sea to save the fisheses. So they had to rust, and of course the damage to the hull and morale was part of the point.

Went to Wally's because I like their Sparkle paper towels. Bought a pair of Wrangler work pants (on sale). They had other brands with good material for half the price but the pockets, the POCKETS were so small and the Wrangler's were generous.

Meijer - a Michigan-based chain - was open 24/7, 364 days a year (closed on Christmas). Now it's open 6 a.m. to midnight, but I didn't realize it, and from the amused look of the manager, a lot of people didn't get the memo.

And put a man on the Moon. I was just looking. Dec. 15 was the 60th anniversary of the first orbital rendezvous, Gemini 6 and 7. That was 1965. Neil Armstrong took that first small step in 1969, less than 4 years after that.
Alan Shephard first American in space in 61, Gemini does the first rendezvous 4 years later, and in another 4 years, we're on the Moon. In less than 10 years.

Never too soon with Morons!
Also, I sort of like "Maneater" by Hall and Oates. I like to think the song was about me in my prime. Altho NOT literally, you jerks. Great song to dance to. Plus it's got a cool saxophone, which I love. One son was a college kid who went by the tag, Saxman, for gigs. He is a very good musician now engineer vs the subway busker we feared.
In reality I was sadly a doofus girl who liked to party and did not care about money or cars. As evident by who I dated and later married (his ride to court me was a '62 white Lancer with an aqua hood and bent coathanger for an antenna).
The Jaguar driver (anesthesiologist) had an eye for any pretty girl who crossed his path, and I said no to him because of this. I ain't stupid, and once I saw that trait I was a no for two years. His regret for many years afterwards. Pity.

We may have hit a plateau, similar to that which started in the 1690s and ran to the 1840s. Warships, artillery, firearms, all of them were pretty much the same, and you get some really old weapons in those days that just get new locks, new stocks, but remain in service because why not? A muzzle-loading smoothbore doesn't really wear out.

Painfully bad in junior high. Our youngest son played trumpet and, man, that was brutal as he learned. Our Golden shared a room with him and would flee at the sight of it. We often wanted to flee, too.
He went to FSU, one of the best musical programs (or was?) in the country. He tried out for the Marching Chiefs and made it, but found out how much time he would have to practice and said no to a full scholarship. He considered a minor with engineering but nope. The head professor wrote him an email that we howled with laughter reading, as no way, Jose, did we think he'd nail it. He sent it to his private teacher who also laughed. Poor kid. He was good by then and HS, and horrific in 7th grade.

I started out on French Horn, and played it from grade school through my senior year of high school. After marching season was done, I switched to tuba. For years afterwards I liked to tell co-eds that my lips had mastered the smallest mouthpiece and the largest. Sometimes it even worked.
I half-assed it all the way, though, but busted my ass on the audition to get into Michigan State's band, but as chance (or fate) had it, my year was the only one in recent memory where they had a surplus of French Horns. Strangely, they were short of trumpets. Would I consider switching? I desperately wanted in, so bought a used horn, and placed 43rd out of 64 after a week of practice.
The rest, as they say, is history. I do enjoy Alumni Band. I had to skip it this fall for various health and family reasons, but hope to attend next year.

I feel badly for the daughter (who also got stoned at a young age because I have seen photos and am not dumb). The older son seems to be normal and left for Texas to escape, so maybe she will go with him and be sort of normal after the horror.

Trump wasn't wrong. Hating all the time twists your soul. Pointing that out was an act of charity for everyone else, a fraternal correction. You can't spit venom six days a week and then produce pure, wholesome honey on the seventh.
I get that Reiner had some great films, I'm absolutely of "The Princess Bride" generation, but personally he was a failure. It happens. My father's father was a humble man, didn't achieve fame or greatness, but in his sphere was venerated by everyone who knew him. My mother's father was wealthy, high-flying ad executive and his kids hated him.

One of our grandkids has a friend whose parents never married. After the first kid and a set of twins (which the Baby Daddy said he was tricked into). Well, sir. Now they are sort of "divorced" but never married.It is getting very ugly.
I am not Audrey Hepburn, right out of the convent, but I have never heard of this mess. Had I gotten pregnant there would have been some sort of wedding, even a shotgun type with my Daddy and brothers, but there is no way my kid would go through this. The kids are too little to know how effed up this is. Someday they will.
Ah nevah! I also am not crazy about hanging out near her at basketball games or Christmas pagents for fear he will roar in and kill us all as he finds her. It seems dicey to me and I am going to ask our son of a photo of him so I can be on high alert.

Both my father and the husband of my youth are/were Christian, loyal, hard working, very funny, kind, and put their wife and kids first before them.
Both should get a medal from dealing with me, Daddy for the first 22yrs, my husband since 1979. I guess I am their trophy!

A lot of sexual abuse, I think. I mean, look at Chaz Bono!
On top of letting kids smoke pot young, which screws them up, but it's cool! No, it's really not, Pop. It exacerbates schizophrenia and here we are!
My cousin was schizophrenic and it typically blooms in the early 20's and his surely did. He had the same eyes, though, that Nick did as a young kid in photos. My brothers and I just thought he was weird til he was really weird and freaked out our friends and everyone else.

Pretty close. Surface orbital speed on the Moon is only 3700 mph, just a little faster than .223 and similar rifle bullets.
It would be possible, on the Moon to hit any point on the surface with artillery. You could almost do it with a pure ballistic trajectory, but the mascons and surface irregularities would mean you'd need a little maneuvering capability for the projectile, but not much.
In short, on the Moon, it's would be almost possible to fire a rifle and have it come back and hit you from the other side. Almost. The mountains and all would get in the way for standing right on the surface, but you'd be pretty close to doing that.

Talent, soul, and no auto tune.
But back then there was live music everywhere. Most half decent bars had bands. Now? Pretty much nada, it's all DJs... so that pipeline of talent is no longer there...
Except maybe online... which does not get a local following for your band to use to get gigs.

Wish I could post some photos of how much fun I had. So much in one photo my husband said, you were wasted. I was smiling bigly at my student nurse friend, who is now a landscape photographer.
Indeed I was! Huge, huge party and rite of passage for the colleges here after surviving spring semester. A gang of us, mostly boys, and I was dating none of them, but they loved me and took care of me and hauled me to concerts, too.

Pretty close. Surface orbital speed on the Moon is only 3700 mph, just a little faster than .223 and similar rifle bullets.
It would be possible, on the Moon to hit any point on the surface with artillery.

As small as the moon is and so little resistance it seems that heavy artillery could alter its rotation.

I went to so many all-day outdoor concerts. Saw tons of bands with lots of A-Listers.
For example, I went to Philly in '82 for an all-day one. Madonna opened early in the afternoon. The Kinks were second banana as Foreigner had top billing. I remember Teddy Pendergrass (in a wheelchair shortly after he was paralyzed in an accident; Philly favorite son) and Huey Lewis and the News in between.

How sad. Of course drugs, especially illegal and/or mixed with legal, mess them up if there is a psych reason.
I cannot imagine. Don't want to imagine. The ED docs laughed at me when we sent our sons to UF and FSU. Two party schools. They said, "No way."
I looked sons in the eye and told them if they could tell me they did not drink til 21 I would pay for a ski trip. They waited til 20yrs and told me they had a beer. (And, yes, I was sometimes swigging but not drinking heavily before legal age 18yrs, so a hypocrite but they did not ask!). I was elected the strictest mother in the neighborhood and told them, good! The other kids did not turn out as well.
They were also sort of scared of us, but in a good way. I heard them talking once:"Mom is not very good at the little stuff, but is cool with the big stuff." Indeed. Eldest had 2 car accidents in 6wks his senior year...neither his fault, and I was thankful they were alive. His car was totaled on his 18th birthday for the finale of that car.
But talk back to me, boys, and look out! Mama activated!

There was a science fiction short story, don't remember the author, in which humans and aliens were in a shooting war on the Moon. Human astronaut takes a shot at an alien, but misses. Something happens, alien gets in distress, and indicates surrender. Communication is attempted, progress is made. Then the missed shot, having circled the Moon, kills the alien dead.

And a .223 isn't as close to orbital speed I was thinking. In my mind I was conflating fps with mph. In mph, the .223 speed is around 2000 - 2500 mph, compared to 3700 mph orbital velocity.

Had grok run some numbers. I choose a .223 with a conservative muzzle velocity of 0.95 km/s. Fire it at a 45 degree angle. Great circle range would be 10,000 km. Nearly a full lap. If Grok is correct, and I'm not sure.
Grok can mess up.

The above-mentioned story did mention a very high-velocity rifle, maybe .220 Swift? And the confrontation took place in high Lunar mountains, so the bullet's flight would have been unimpeded by lesser mountains. I don't know if mascons had been discovered at the time of writing.

I think even admirers of the Kinks probably don't get how *huge* they were at one point. Its my raw guess that during the '70s the only bands in the UK that outdrew them were Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, The Who, Black Sabbath, and Paul McCartney & Wings (the Beatles were done at that point).
Also, there's a TON of their songs that were covered by other bands.

Rolling Stone, Larry Magid of Philadelphia’s Electric Factory Concerts says it takes either a package of big-name groups, one supergroup like the Rolling Stones or something very unusual to sell out a show in a place the size of Philly’s 90,000-seat JFK Stadium. His plans for JFK this summer include a $15.75-per-ticket extravaganza with Foreigner, the Kinks, Loverboy, Joan Jett and Huey Lewis and the News on June 19th. He will put on three other concerts at JFK, one of which will feature black artists and be headlined by Rick James.

That photo on top reminds me so much of a guy I almost dated before I met my guy.
A friend, but there was something in the mix. Had a motorcycle and took me for a ride (he did give me a helmet but did not ask me to change from daisy dukes and a halter top...so I could have left most of myself on the pavement if we crashed). Idiot! Guardian angels were exhausted.
I also did not stuff my very long hair in the helmet, which was a later deal I had to fix.
AND he did not tell me the thing on the left was super hot when we stopped. I burned a silver dollar size, 2nd degree, hideous burn on my left calf.
He had that same expression on the top photo almost. I mean, no empathy at all. No offer to help, a bandage, rub some dirt...nothing.
I felt this was weird and never went out with him, altho tolerated him at parties. No empathy and probably was a serial killer.
I figured if he really liked me he would have given a hoot that I left part of my leg on his motorcycle exhaust or whatever that was. It did not scar. What a jerk, eh?

Yeah, Grok was way off, and, with some sanity check prodding, I got him to find his error. The range is much shorter. Now, for a surface shot, again using 0.95 km/s muzzle velocity ( this is sort of a mean of the common FMJ velocities, I think, why not use 1 km/s? Well,Grok came up with 0.95 as a reasonable rough speed).
Now, using a flat plane uniform g, we know the max horizontal range is with a launch angle of 45 degrees. Turns out that's not too far off using an actual orbit. It actually depends on the firing height and projectile speed a bit but it's still close. It's 39.6 degrees for this .95 km/s .223, and the range there would be 665 km, or 413 miles.
The 45 degree flat plane parabola range for the Moon's gravity would be 552 km.

Uh, without "all hoops" we have no certainty that the vote itself was cast by a registered voter, within the allowable time period, for any of the candidates on the official ballot (if a mark isn't clearly within the boundry of a check-box for a candidate, why should it count?), etc. Paid election officials should be held accountable for any lack of supervision that they demonstrate.
Posted by: Crusader at December 20, 2025 12:48 AM (Cjcf6)
Oh yeah, Grok got it now. Basically, our optimal firing elevation angle varies with muzzle velocity pretty strongly. For very low speeds, it's just 45 degrees, as that flat uniform g is close enough. As speed increases, the firing angle decreases, slowly at first, then gets to 0, horizontal as muzzle velocity approaches orbital speed.
At 1.2 km/s, angle is 35 degrees, range is 950 km. For 1.5, angle is 20 degrees, range is 3500 km. 1.68 km/s is orbital speed.

It was a miracle it didn't hit anything. there is a parking area to the left of the driveway. My pickup is backed in, and a friend of mine has his hot rod backed in next to the pickup because I'm helping him build it. Those cars are facing our regular cars parked in front of the garage. The tree fell and was laying right across the front of my pickup and friends car, like 1-2 feet away, and it's parallel to my normal car. 5 cars and it didn't hit one. I was looking at that tree a few weeks ago and was thinking you know, its leaning a little, I should remove that tree. Well I got my wish.

The hits keep on a comin' and I keep standing back up for more, bleh.
Today: was going to drive truck down to dad's & clean up a bit around that fallen tree. No start. It was mid-afternoon already (after lunch with hubby) so just jump-started from the car. That battery was *dead* and I just bought it this Spring! Only been 3 weeks since I drove truck, so maybe got electrical problem. Check engine light came on.. codes were iffy, likely due to battery issue/charging, so I cleared them.
Let it run for a while, then drove truck around for 10-15 minutes while there was still daylight. Used up all my daylight and didn't get any work done at dad's.
At least the codes didn't reappear, so there's that. Yay.
Posted by: JQ at December 20, 2025 01:07 AM (rdVOm)
That's interesting, the dependence on muzzle velocity. Even at 90% of orbital speed, the max range is still only 1/3 of the circumference. You've got to get really close to orbital speed to get a significant fraction of going all the way around.
With the real Moon, however, the mascons and the strong deviation from inverse square g field would mess all that up big time, and the actual solution would be a complicated mess. They've got the Moon's gravity mapped out pretty good now, but it would be one hell of a complicated calculation.

When one of my brothers was in college, his roommate played this on a loop. Little bro said he nearly went bonkers. Heh.
I always remember then, too, he got food poisoning but ate at so many fast food places that day they could not figure out where he got it. A super strange combo of meals, too.
Basically all of my life I have been surrounded by crazy guys starting with my brothers.

Uh, without "all hoops" we have no certainty that the vote itself was cast by a registered voter, within the allowable time period, for any of the candidates on the official ballot (if a mark isn't clearly within the boundry of a check-box for a candidate, why should it count?), etc. Paid election officials should be held accountable for any lack of supervision that they demonstrate.

For a mail in ballot to be legal in Calif, they are supposed to look at the signature on the outside of the envelope, and then compare it with the signature you have on file either through DMV, or your Voter Reg Card.
They literally do not have the time, nor bandwidth to do that. It is a technical impossibility, yet that is the ONLY verification on ballots.
So they just ignore the law.

Just looking at that. That has a muzzle velocity of 4000 fps, which gets us to 1.2 km/s, still not a high enough fraction of orbital velocity. It's 70%, but that only gets us 950 km range (590 miles).
Now, for mountain heights. Height does affect that but to be significant it has to be a significant fraction of the Moon's radius. Highest elevation on the Moon is about 8 km above the mean, and that's not enough to change the range much at all.

Well, the story is fiction, after all. And I may have misremembered just what model rifle was used. And another consideration is that a gun fired in a vacuum might have a higher muzzle velocity because the bullet isn't pushing a column of air out of the barrel.

Another big difference is no drag at all. When the bullet got back to the surface it would still be moving at essentially muzzle velocity. So even at the 500 mile range, it would still be packing the full punch.

Well, there probably weren't any Thai restaurants in North America in 1960. But you likely could order a pizza at 3:00 A.M. and have it delivered in 30 minutes just by picking up the phone. And there were cars in 1900. Crude, slow, and few and far between, but they certainly existed. And there was laudanum.

I got interested in how much firing in vacuum vs air would increase muzzle velocity. The easy way to ballpark that is to consider the pressure difference. Chamber pressure for a .223 is around 55 kpsi, call it, vs 14.7 psi standard atm pressure. So very little difference.
However, in the barrel, the air can't move fast enough, and compresses, raising back pressure. The limit of that is just to imagine having to accelerate the air column to the same speed as the bullet, and the difference there is just the ratio of the mass of the air column to the bullet mass.
So, at most, being generous you won't get more than 1% increase in muzzle velocity, probably 0.1%.
Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at December 20, 2025 02:15 AM (w6EFb)
Now, turns out the high speed tank guns do have muzzle velocities that get to and exceed lunar orbital velocity. So, you could go all the way around the Moon with that. In practice, you'd just take the shorter great circle route and never have to go for more than half of the circumference to minimize flight time.
So, a tank could indeed do it.

You and me both. I have no clue what type of trees I have. They are really tall, but thin. At most maybe 12-15inches across at the trunk. No branches until you get way up there. Kinda like retarded looking palm trees without the palm looking tops. the one that fell was probably 40ft tall but at best maybe 10-12 inches near the bottom. I would like to clear the whole area along the wooded side of the driveway. A small bulldozer would probably knock them down like twigs.

Conifers are evergreens, like Christmas trees. Don't shed their leaves. Pine, spruce, fir, cedar. Larch is the odd man out, Has needles but they turn gold in fall, and slowly shed all winter, sprout new green ones in Spring.
Deciduous trees change color, and drop their leaves in Fall. Oak, maple, nut trees, fruit trees.

Are the leaves long and slender? Might be some sort of willow. Or maybe Mountain Ash? I'm really not familiar with trees of the Eastern Seabord. Growing up in Vancouver, there were a host of "exotic" trees to be found in home gardens. Even monkey-puzzle trees. They are amazing, every leaf is a spine.

Well, I learnt something I did not know, or had forgotten the physics. 1.8 km/s is about the practical limit for muzzle velocity of a gunpowder projectile. Any faster, and you've got barrel wear, pressure limits, and gas expansion problems.
Now here' the interesting thing. The limit of projectile velocity being pushed by an expanding gas is *twice* the speed of sound in said gas. Deriving that is a complex mess, but you can think of it this. It's a pressure wave that travels through the medium. When it hits something, the projectile being accelerated, you get a return wave that bounces back. The difference between the forward and reverse waves is twice the speed of sound, and it comes about from that.

So, if you want to increase the maximum velocity, you've got increase the speed of sound. Light gases like helium can do it. There's something they call "gas guns" that pressurize helium and hydrogen gas to enormous pressures and those give you very high speed of sound.
They can hit 10 km/s muzzle velocity, and 12 km/s is about the max they've done. But these things are huge laboratory set ups. They use this for testing orbital velocity impacts and similar.
Rail guns do not suffer that speed of sound limitation.

And as the gas expands, the pressure drops, and so does the speed of sound in it. I was thinking, a few nights ago, how guns are far superior to bows and trebuchets, and such, in that with all of those, part of the weapon itself has to accelerate to the speed at which the projectile is thrown, and then decelerate to a stop to be recocked. With a gun, the weapon itself remains stationary (neglecting recoil), and only the powder gases and the bullet get any speed to them.

Use a password manager nowadays. Encrypting the harddrive works for laptop theft but makes it a pita for recovery if something goes wrong, particularly Bitlocker from Microsux.
Proton and Bitwarden make some good password managers that also hold the newer passkeys you should be using. Otherwise, a Yubi security USB key is probably the ultimate at keeping passwords safe as long as you don't lose it. Most people keep several of those in duplicate if you go that route.
Proton and Bitwarden don't have that issue but they do have cloud storage, albeit heavily encrypted for your passwords/passkeys backup. Proton also has a free authenticator app for websites where you can use those.

Again, for general security on computers, PC Mag has a pretty good rundown on current topics like passkeys and security keys along with authentication.
2 factor text authentication for websites is on the way out with passkeys and software authenticator apps being the next step adopted. Passkeys though can be compromised if your computer is but it can also be biometric which is harder to crack if your computer has a fingerprint or eye scanner. Some people feel uncomfortable with that.
Security keys like Yubi are encrypted containers for security tokens identifying exactly who you are where either biometrics or a master password upon insertion unlocks them.
No security key present, then a hacker cannot access those websites with your credentials because it generates the encrypted one time codes for those websites only when the key is present and inserted. Authenticator and passkey in one along with password storage for less sophisticated websites.

the book I read said that mostly it was just a nothing burger of a movie. The issue was the money spent. the genius director had an entire town set rebuilt to make the road wider (instead of tearing down just one side and moving it).
That and someone estimated half the cost was cocaine for everyone on set.

Bad writing. Acting was held back by a clunky script. Damn good actors were in it (Kristofferson, Walken, Watterson, Hurt, and some others that I'm blanking out on). Needed editing badly. Some scenes just went on and on and on.... Again, there was a story to tell, Director excess killed it.

U.S. lawmakers have introduced legislation to bring back a scourge of the high seas banished from Atlantic and Pacific waters since the age of sail: privateers, authorized by government-issued letters of marque to ply the trade of piracy in service of their country by targeting enemy ships.
These modern day privateers, under a bill introduced Thursday by Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah), would receive authorization from U.S. President Donald Trump as private individuals to seize foreign vessels from anyone who “is a member of a cartel, a member of a cartel-linked organization, or a conspirator associated with a cartel or a cartel-linked organization.”

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth@SecWar
Earlier today, U.S. forces commenced OPERATION HAWKEYE STRIKE in Syria to eliminate ISIS fighters, infrastructure, and weapons sites in direct response to the attack on U.S. forces that occurred on December 13th in Palmyra, Syria.
This is not the beginning of a war — it is a it is a declaration of vengeance. The United States of America, under President Trump’s leadership, will never hesitate and never relent to defend our people.
As we said directly following the savage attack, if you target Americans — anywhere in the world — you will spend the rest of your brief, anxious life knowing the United States will hunt you, find you, and ruthlessly kill you.
Today, we hunted and we killed our enemies. Lots of them. And we will continue.

Now that the leaves are gone on the trees mostly on the back side of the house, which is north, I can see Polaris now from the back porch.
I hope to get as good as a cousin of mine who can tell sidereal time to 15 minutes just by looking at the "clock hands" of the stars around Polaris. Knowing what day of the year, you then know mean solar time at night.

Hence the origin of the nickname "grunts," from the sound they made when they stood up with all their gear.

Merrill's Marauders. The Army jungle ration that was found to be sufficient for their operations had been discontinued, so Vinegar Joe Stillwell (one of the shittiest US Army generals) decided that a single K ration per day would work for them. Less than 3000 calories, and so monotonous and awful that soldiers would toss some of the components to save weight on the march.
The Marauders practically starved to death, not to mention the tropical diseases. Even then, they slaughtered the Japs in huge numbers.

It's not uncommon when Christmas is on a Thursday.
Common Patterns (Examples):
If Christmas is on a Tuesday: The Monday before might be granted off.
If Christmas is on a Thursday (like 2025): Both the Wednesday (Christmas Eve) and Friday (Dec 26) are often given off.
If Christmas is on a Friday/Wednesday: Half-days were common, but Presidents sometimes grant full days.

Given that two out of three things cited in the Al Qaeda declaration of war were US troops in Saudi and the suffering of the Iraqi people. i.e. the containment policy, possibly.
I'm not really a fan meeting demands like a shopping list, but the containment policy was worse than deposing Saddam would have been, and that's 100% hindsight granted.

Just looked it up, not a chance to see the thin crescent tomorrow for me, it'll still be less than 1%.
The record naked eye young moon sighting was in May of 1990, seen 15 hours and 32 minutes after the new Moon. A dubious claim by two British house maids back in 1926 claimed 14 hours and 45 minutes, but that is considered pretty dubious.

The unspoken reason for that is frankly rather gruesome. Infantrymen are basically covered in filth, which contaminates their food, no matter how hard you work at keeping clean. Not to mention that you're always around dead, rotting flesh. There are accounts going back for centuries of even high ranking generals cutting out the bottom of their uniform pants so that they could easily hop off their horse and quickly cop a squat by the side of the road.

I think the beef stew was a hardy perennial favorite. In Army Basic, when we went into the field I was the squad leader, so high-graded my pick. Later on in the Air Force, we rarely used them, but when we did, I always volunteered to pick them up - so I could high grade them.

Saddam was a Soviet client. We backed the Shah. When the Shah fell, we were at a loss. Saddam also hated Israel, was building WMD tech, but he also hated Iran.
So we began to shift to Saddam's side, but our aid was insignificant next to what the Soviets gave him. Our big thing was keeping the oil tankers going during the Tanker War, and on the balance we were far less pro-Saddam than anti-Iran.

The bosses knew I had lived in the region and knew a bit of the culture. When asked about moving on Baghdad, I simple told the CG, "Yeah, we could do it. But we won't be met with cheering crowds. And it would be an occupation, not liberation."

No, you have it right. We backed the Northern Alliance, which was the last resistance remaining to the Taliban.
That being said, other strongmen were available, and giving them a mercenary air force, arms and some training would have kept the Taliban busy indefinately.

The SF dude basically told me the people in Astan that fought the soviets ranked from good afghani (massoud), to less than good, to nasty, to downright evil. Many times fighting among themselves.

In many ways, 9/11 was just another battle in a Saudi Civil War. Al Qaeda vs the House of Saud. I think there's a case to be made that AQ and Bin Ladin didn't really gave a shit about the US, it was just a way to show that they were the strong horse, compared to the ruling family. At the time, there were virtually no US troops in Saudi Arabia other than at a couple of air bases in the middle of the desert, hundreds of miles away from most Saudi cities and holy sites. And they were only there to enforce the Iraqi no fly zone.

In Fulton County, Georgia -- Big Fani's Home County -- 315,000 "Votes" Were Counted Despite Missing the Necessary Signatures
No big deal. Don't bother checking IDs, don't bother checking if the necessary poll worker signatures are attached to the "votes."
And then prosecute Trump. He's the bad guy here.
Fulton County: 'We Don't Dispute' 315,000 Votes Lacking Poll Workers' Signatures Were Counted In 2020
Fulton County admits 2020 election did not follow rules
'When the law demands three signatures on tabulator tapes and the county fails to follow the rules, those 315,000 votes are, by definition, uncertified.'
Brianna Lyman Earlier this month, Fulton County admitted that approximately 315,000 early votes from the 2020 election were illegally certified but were nonetheless still included in the final results of that election. The admission came during a Dec. 9 hearing before the Georgia State Election Board (SEB) stemming from a challenge filed by David Cross, a local election integrity activist. Cross filed a challenge with the SEB in March 2022. Cross alleged that Fulton County violated Georgia statute in the handling of advanced voting ahead of the November 2020 election, counting hundreds of thousands of votes even though polling workers failed to sign off on the vote tabulation "tapes" critical to the certification process. And Fulton County admitted to it. Ann Brumbaugh, attorney for the Fulton County Board of Registration and Elections, told the SEB in the hearing that while she has "not seen the tapes" herself, the county does "not dispute that the tapes were not signed." Brumbaugh continued, "It was a violation of the rule. We, since 2020, again, we have new leadership and a new building and a new board and a new standard operating procedures. And since then the training has been enhanced. ... But ... we don't dispute the allegation from the 2020 election." Georgia's Secretary of State Office investigated the alleged failure to sign tabluation tapes and "substantiated" the findings that Fulton County "violated Official Election Record Document Processes when it was discovered that thirty-six (36) out of thirty-seven (37) Advanced Voting Precincts in Fulton County, Georgia failed to sign the Tabulation Tapes as required [by statute]," according to a 2024 investigation summary. In addition to probing the unsigned tabulation tapes, the investigation also found that officials at 32 polling sites failed to verify their zero tapes. Georgia law requires that election officials have each ballot scanner print three closing tapes at the end of each voting day. Poll workers must sign these tapes or include a documented reason for refusal. Voting laws also require poll workers to begin each day of voting by printing and signing a "zero tape" showing that voting machines are starting at zero votes. If there is no record of whether the tabulator was set at zero at the start of polling, there is no way of telling whether ballots from a previous election (or ballots from a test run) were left on the memory card and might later be counted. Notably, this happened in Montana, where officials discovered more votes than were cast and believe the votes were leftover sample data that had not been cleared. "These signed tapes are the sole legal certification that the reported totals are authentic," Cross told the SEB at the Dec. 9 hearing. "Fulton County produced zero signed tabulator tapes in early voting."

BTW, I took my annual Medicaid online health survey today. There were a few points where I was not allowed to advance until I had checked off a box even though I'd answered "no" to the previous paired question. The one I remember most was near the end, and it was something like "In the last year, have you ever been unable to find the following when you needed it: Food, money, shelter, medical care, etc." There was no "None of the above" or "N/A" option, I *had* to pick one. So I put "dental care" because no local dentist will accept adults on Medicaid. The kicker? No comment box at the end so I could voice my concerns.
So the next time you see "70% of Medicaid recipients struggled to find food" as a headline, this is why.

I dunno. We struck back at the terrorists after 09/11 and that didn't do a damn thing. 24 years later, where are we? Afghanistan and Iraq are even worse now, as is every nation in the West.
Granted, at the same time, the West collectively bent over for Islam and invited them into every Western nation to conquer them.
I think we still have not learned the lesson 2+ decades on. Terrorists do not care about tough talk or wars. They want war. They want death.
The lesson that has yet to be learned is the problem is not terrorists, but Islam and Muslims. Until Trump and every other Western leader are speaking and acting on that, this is the same shit, different day as far as dealing with Islamic terrorists.

The depressing thing is... if 09/11 in the U.S.A. and 07/07 in the UK were not enough to wake up the West to Islam, that means it is going to take a mass death event even larger than those two events to finally wake people up.

The national GOP was in on it. Remember the entire impeachment part deux for Trump which was patently unconstitutional. So much so that even Chief Justice Roberts refused to take the chair for it.
The big corporate donors wanted Trump out so the spice would flow under Biden whether in pointless defense spending (Ukraine), AID color revolutions to kill more people abroad, or in domestic grift like the Green Nude Eel.
Trump was almost friendless in DC at the end of his first term as were his peeps who were hounded in the next 4 years in all sorts of ways while the GOP and some of its supposedly leading candidates for 2024 averted their eyes and ignored the suffering.

Zero is classified as an integer because it is a whole number that can be written without a fractional component. Integers include positive numbers, negative numbers, and zero itself.

I read that in the story. You're idea seems more plausible. Maybe a scandal brewing, or just deciding to make way for an uncontested primary. But why quit congress? That's the important question. Trump likes both. Has to be something we don't know about. Either way, if she's a safe R district, oh well.

Flynn as NSA.

Trump's first term was a disaster because even he did not think he was going to win. He admitted that 3 days before the election and just assumed he was going to lose. He was shocked when he did win.
Once he won he was scrambling to put together a team and he was ill advised by some of the people closest to him. The gop(e) had way too much input on his cabinet picks.

He was good friendz with McConnell. I also hear scuttlebutt about a Lil Jeffie Sessions exists like ole Strom had a black daughter that was an open secret in SC.
Sessions was either a traitor or a coward--you don't accept the position and then recuse without telling Trump before you did it. You resign office if you cannot fulfill it.
That meant Trump would have had legal jeopardy had he fired Sessions and then Rod the Rat.
Sessions would have never been AG in the first place had not Rudy turned it down apparently. Rudy wanted to be Sec. of State which would have been contentious to get through the Senate.
Rudy, having been in the DoJ formerly, knew where the bodies were buried there but would have been out at sea as Sec of State.

There was that but it shouldn't be forgotten that very few people wanted to work for Trump in 2016. He was the consummate outsider in a city that hates outsiders. And he was being slimed as a Russia stooge.
Working for Trump meant you had crossed a line and were willing to work against permanent DC. Not talk, do it. Very small talent pool fit that model in 2016.

Look up 2018 where Kemp beat Abrams and ordered the servers wiped after the election. Last one with the Diebold equipment. Next, a big no bid contract to Dominion with a former Kemp SoS aide brokering the deal and getting generationally wealthy from it.
Kemp is dirty along with Ratshitburger and Chris Carr the AG. Chris got his office originally when Dirty Nathan Deal wanted to keep a state RFRA act from being passed so he arranged for the existing AG to be appointed to a college presidency and then filled the office with a nobody (Carr). Nobody then won reelection in 2018 while doing nothing and has served since then doing nothing. Now, Mr. Carr, having done nothing for 10 years as AG is running for governor in GA along with Ratshitburger whose main accomplishment was to hide the cheat in 2020 and refuse to clean it up in 2022 and 2024.

Stefanik was a good soldier for Trump after her UN job was cancelled and returned to the House. Johnson refused to let Stefanik back into the House leadership as that would have required demoting someone so her House career was stalled but that left her with the governor's race. She had a pretty good chance against Holchul unless that surprise poll showing Holchul above 50 percent made her throw in the towel on that race as well.
If no health crisis or scandal, she will probably get a Trump executive position if she wants it.

Feds Discover Another $9 Billion in Medicaid Fraud... All in Tim Walz's Pirate Paradise of Minnesota
I'm able to connect through my phone now, but still not through my wifi. I guess that's something.
Nice.Feds are also looking into Minnesota foreign pirates scamming the unemployment system.
US Attorney's Office: 'Half or more' of $18B billed through state programs tied to fraud As the U.S. Attorney's Office announced a new batch of charges related to suspected fraudulent billing in Minnesota's government services, officials painted a dire portrait of just how extensive the problem might be. Assistant U.S. Attorney Joe Thompson on Thursday said the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) pulled claims for 14 programs identified by Minnesota officials as being particularly vulnerable to fraud and found $18 billion in Medicaid billing since 2018. While not all of those payments were illegitimate, Thompson estimated "half or more" of the $18 billion was received through fraudulent means, though he said prosecutors are still working to find the exact number. "The magnitude of fraud in Minnesota cannot be overstated. It's staggering amounts of money that's been lost," Thompson said.
The Department of Labor announced on Monday it is sending staff to Minnesota to investigate concerns about fraud in the state's Unemployment Insurance Program. The department's decision to authorize an "on-site specialized UI strike team" in Minnesota makes it the latest of several federal agencies deploying agents to investigate reports of widespread fraud in the state's welfare programs, including those from the Department of Housing and Urban Development and Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
"I am appalled at what we are hearing about potential fraud coming from numerous benefits programs in Minnesota," Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer said in a statement. "If there has been any related abuse of our UI systems, it will not be tolerated, and I trust our specialized strike team to get to the bottom of this and report their findings directly to me," she continued. "Our mission to protect American workers remains unchanged, and I will not allow malicious actors to destroy the integrity of this trusted program."
This didn't age well. https://t.co/YXTA2EVljw pic.twitter.com/61Y4uyYDJR

I've mentioned this before, Adam Housley used to be a reporter with Fox. Pretty down the middle reporter, not a fan of either party. He quit because he got sick of the state of the media.
He lives in northern California and still keeps up with his sources. During and after the lockdown he was reporting on X what he was hearing about the money flowing to California. If he is correct the money stolen from just that program in California dwarfs anything that happened in Minnesota.

There seems to be a push to make this sound like "one isolated state," but it isn't. It isn't just the Democrat states either
It also isn't just Somalians and Haitians -- they are probably to brash and stupid so they made it obvious, but I understood that our gov. systems were overrun with fraud in the 90s. And the middle easterners are probably all just as bad -- it is in their blood and religion.

I saw a big jump during the post 9/11 grants to the states for increased security -- heck, even the Gov. on NJ was caught in that fraud scam and he never paid any consequences, in fact, they hired him at a state college so he could get a fat pension.
Think about that -- the governor of the state was caught in fraud and got rewarded. How do you like that, suckers.

A 21 year old is sitting on a bench in the loss prevention office next to his fat 23 year old accomplice. LP agent and a cop are wandering around not paying him much attention. The guy leans close to the bench to conceal his draw, then points the gun at the cop and tries to fire. Nothing happens. It looks like he tries again. LP agent intervenes and the cop does a killer knee strike to the attempted murderer's upper chest.

Earlier today, U.S. forces commenced OPERATION HAWKEYE STRIKE in Syria to eliminate ISIS fighters, infrastructure, and weapons sites in direct response to the attack on U.S. forces that occurred on December 13th in Palmyra, Syria.
This is not the beginning of a war — it is a declaration of vengeance. The United States of America, under President Trump’s leadership, will never hesitate and never relent to defend our people.
As we said directly following the savage attack, if you target Americans — anywhere in the world — you will spend the rest of your brief, anxious life knowing the United States will hunt you, find you, and ruthlessly kill you.
Today, we hunted and we killed our enemies. Lots of them. And we will continue."

"Now, they're going to take the TV time-out. We'll take it as well. Seven [minutes] gone in the third [period]. It's 3-2 Buffalo on the Philadelphia Flyers Broadcast Network," Saunders said, thinking he would then be off the air.
After a few seconds, the announcer is heard humming a tune to himself before more dead air, as muffled audio of in-arena promotions are heard in the background.
It was nearly 20 seconds after the start of a would-be commercial break when Saunders said, "While you're down there, would you mind blowing me?"
Following a few more seconds of silence, broadcast partner and former NHL player Todd Fedoruk inserted, "I think we're still on the air, Tim."

Minnesota state representative Melissa Hortman was shot and killed in her home on June 14, 2025, during a targeted attack that also injured state senator John Hoffman and his wife. The shooter, Vance Boelter, was later arrested and charged with multiple counts, including murder and attempted murder.

MMT aka Modern Monetary Theory does not work. Part of the reason that the US got away with something like it for so long is that we are the world's reserve currency used for trading between other nations (dollars never reach US consumers) but that also means that the globohomo crowd are aware that if the US does NOT run huge trade deficits, essentially most of the world's economy has a severe shortage of bucks for trades.
Once the US loses reserve currency status for something else, then essentially you get a soft default where our trade inflows and outflows have to generate enough surplus to pay interest on our enormous debt.

Fraud and waste is easily hundreds of billions per year out our total budget. Let's say something like 10 percent of the US budget--which would be (minus the interest payments made out of about 5 trillion or so) about 500-600 billion per year. Take that over the Biden era until now (5 years, that would be about 2.75-3 trillion. Add in compounded interest, about 3.6 trillion. Add in the Obama years 2010-2012 and the first Trump term, probably 6 trillion there. Add the Bush decade with two years of Obama, probably another 3-4 trillion. So out of 38 trillion, I would guess about more than 1/3 of our current debt from the last 25 years is fraud, waste, and abuse.

Yep. It was literally hoovering money out of the US so that foreign countries could buy shit from China and buy US assets like real estate, corporations, etc. Started after Bretton Woods broke down as the US no longer had enough gold to make the balance of payments work. Midpoint in the 70's the US began to run a trade deficit that never even approached zero (even eventually with sales of services, etc.).
Same thing happened with the Brits after the Edwardian age ended and was part of the reason that their Empire was not sustainable after paying for two world wars.

I dunno. We struck back at the terrorists after 09/11 and that didn't do a damn thing. 24 years later, where are we?
Granted, at the same time, the West collectively bent over for Islam and invited them into every Western nation to conquer them.
I think we still have not learned the lesson 2+ decades on. Terrorists do not care about tough talk or wars. They want war. They want death.
The lesson that has yet to be learned is the problem is not terrorists, but Islam and Muslims. Until Trump and every other Western leader and speaking and acting on that, this is the same shit, different day as far as dealing with Islamic terrorists.

I would honestly say it is somewhere about 400-500 billion per year at a minimum from the last 5 years. That includes crap like the Green Nude Eel where companies simply vanished after taking mega bux subsidies. Like the movie The Producers, the intent was never to make a profit but to simply take the gubmint money and let the corporate corpse collapse like any con artist would.
But the major fraud waste and abuse is clearly in the medical area. That is the area where the more we dig into medicare, medicaid, obamacare, etc, the more fraud we find. Easily 150-200 billion alone in fraud, waste, and abuse in health care and it is about 1.6 trillion or so of the budget--just medicare and medicaid, more if you include items like Indian Health Care, Tricare, and VA.
Next big pot is the military procurement. Out of a trillion dollar budget with all of its contingency spending, etc., add mebbe another 100 billion, much of it to fatcat defense contractors on the make.
Social security, easily another 50-100 billion.

"The British government has taken decisive steps to unlock £2.5 billion (US$3.3 billion) generated from the sale of Chelsea Football Club, directing the pressure on sanctioned Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich to release the funds for humanitarian assistance in Ukraine.
The move represents the UK’s most forceful intervention yet in a dispute that has stretched on for nearly three years as European debates over using frozen Russian assets to finance Ukraine’s survival and eventual reconstruction."
first, the UK decided to force a Russian oligarch to sell the football club he owned because he was Russian.
Then they forced him to agree to give up all his profit from the sale to provide funds to rebuild Ukraine and Russian areas. Then the UK decided they got all the money because Abrhamovic was Russian. AND THEN the UK decided all the funds would be used for Ukraine.
This is not theft or expropriation because the Brits don't steal like that.

Brussels pretended they were only taking the "interest" of the billions of Russian assets they had, and were arguing recently they should take the principle, however since they spent the principle and can't admit it, they decided to raise the money by bonds taken on the taxpayers of the EU.
1) if the EU can take your money on a whim, who is going to invest there?
2) if the EU can violate agreements, at what point will anyone take their paper or their trade deals without payment up front
3) The EU is broke. Everyone is broke there. Eventually the Chinese will be doing their belt and road initiatives there.

Medicaid is highly state-specific; it's a joint federal-state program where each state runs its own version within federal guidelines, meaning eligibility rules, covered services (like dental, vision, prescriptions), and even program names differ significantly from state to state, and you can't transfer coverage across state lines.

Sending the Department of Labor to investigate now should also be quite interesting.
During & immediately prior to the tenure of Marty Walsh as Secretary of Labor - March 2021 to March 2023 - it was found to have massive improper payments within the expanded federal-state Unemployment Insurance (UI) program implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic!
>waysandmeans house gov/2021/06/10
Brady: $400 Billion in Stolen Unemployment Benefits Is Greatest Theft of American Tax Dollars in History
$400 billion is more than…
The entire 2021 budgets of the Army and Navy combined
The entire economy of the state of Colorado
The combined economies of eight American states
Five times what the federal government collected in Unemployment Insurance taxes
Walsh left his Secretary of Labor role mid-March 2023 to become the Executive Director of the National Hockey League Players' Association (NHLPA).
In Feb. 2024, Biden nominated him to the USPS Board of Governors.
Now he's a member of the board of directors for the organization established to raise money, etc. for Biden Presidential Library.

And Walz goes on to claim Trump is weaponizing the government to oppress Minnesomalians. Funny, he didn't mention fraud at all.

Walz says CDLs, Transportation funding, you name it - it could ALL be pulled!
"The entire federal government is weaponized against Minnesota!"

Geez! You steal $10, $15, $18 billion and, right away, Trump’s all pissed off!

Remember when 14,000 Haitians showed up at the border and the Biden Administration attacked the Border Patrol agent who tried to stop one?
Then they let them all in the country.

This evening? Feeding the cats, sharing a pizza with Miss Linda, maybe watching Trek episodes or reading while they're on . . . very much the same as most evenings.
Tomorrow, a run to the grocery/Walmart for supplies before the rush starts, and hitting the library. Sunday, a solid morning workout, and a bath for the car. Monday I'll have blood drawn early in the morning, so no food or coffee when I get up, and I dread that . . . but I'll have a good breakfast on the way back home.

Don't know much about him, but being an agent for a long time doesn't mean you can administer the entire force well, much less root out all the problems. I'd have trusted one of Elon's detached info diggers in that position more to find the problems. How to fix once you know the problem is a different issue.

Got a 1979 Bally Star Trek a few weeks back that will be getting overhauled next. It's in ok shape as it stands. A few stuck switches...but, I think I located them all.
Trying to locate a NOS Playfield for that one. Once I get my hands on one, I will tear it down completely and rebuild it.
Cabinet and Glass are in really nice shape. So, likely won't strip it down to re-stencil it...unless I find someone who insists on a repaint to buy it.

Yep. Which is why I don't believe any of the people / content creators on "the right" are worth a damn. Seems like all of them have some sort of schtick to drum up drama of something or another about someone or another every month or so. I assume it's to get attention, since their entire income depends on attention (clicks, views, likes, people buying their books, people buying tickets to watch them give speeches).
Far cry from the Lincoln-Douglas debates. Far cry from the Benjamin Franklin Silence Dogood Letters. Far cry from the Ronald Reagan articles and speeches he gave after his awakening and then transition from entertainer to politician.

One of my favorite films. I love the '90s remake, You've Got Mail, which I saw first. Both are great in part because of the casting, the tone and dialogue are pleasant in their humor -- and because, for once, the *guy* in the romantic pairing is not clueless and is responsible for the leads getting together by fadeout.

The scene where the hero (Stewart/Hanks) is outside the cafe/coffee shop, realizes the girl he's been clashing with is his romantic pen pal, and goes in to talk with her and she insults him, is identical in motivational "beats" in both films. The dialog is very different, but the effect is the same.

I liked that movie when it came out when I was younger and still a hopeless romantic and a sap. Plus I always liked Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks in their movies together.
But rewatching it decades later as an older, cynical person, I see how awful a movie plot it is. Where Meg Ryan hires a private investigator to stalk him and then lies to her fiance and flies across the country to stalk Tom Hanks herself.
And in the end, she breaks it off with her fiance because of "magic" that she determines she does not have with him but might possibly have with some single dad widower she's never met and only knows what he's talked about on a late night radio show.
Nothing like the Parent Trap. A movie I do love. The 1961 version.

There's a similar running gag in You've Got Mail about how men so often use The Godfather as a source of metaphors or quote it all the time.
Nora Ephron did both screenplays. Unlike recent major feministas, though, her humor was much more gentle toward men, and she did not paint all men as monsters or total doofuses.

Thank you… I probably missed it because I was multitasking at work and kinda ignored the intro (and therefore the first few minutes). The most depressing thing about it to me is the one thing that got him the most worked up was “murdering children in Gaza” which is just so dishonest and simpleton type thinking it’s just annoying…

The 9.3×57mm is still fairly popular among moose hunters in Scandinavia (among hunters in Sweden it is affectionately known as "potatiskastaren", the spud gun, because of the slow and heavy bullet).

My favorite hot cocoa recipe- heat 6 to 8bounces of milk. Break up one Hershey bar into heated milk. Stir until chocolate is fully dissolved. You may add about ⅛ teaspoon of vanilla extract if you so desire. I prefer whipped cream to marshmallows as a topper.

However -- (I should start a curmudgeon's review channel.) I hated the movie mostly because with so many great and heroic stories during the war, they had to make up that bullshit? That bothered me a lot. My least favorite genre is "historical" fiction.
Posted by: bob (moron incognitus) at December 19, 2025 05:20 PM (u9Aw1)
Or telling the true stories with fictional characters. Thinking "Fury" retelling Audie Murphy's MoH action fighting a gazillion Nazis by himself using a few hand weapons and a Ma Deuce mounted to a burning tank destroyer.
As I recall, in the movie "To Hell and Back", the producers made the screenwriter massively tone down his badassery because they didn't think that the audience would believe the true story.

Hayley Mills also started out as a teacher, Miss Bliss, in the early seasons of "Saved by the Bell" (when it was called Good Morning, Miss Bliss) in the late 1980s (1987-1989). I was age 11-13 at the time. Weird to have a crush on her in the late 80s for both her 1961 movie role and in her role as a teacher 20+ years later.

Between being hired by Bill Barrs dad to being murdered in a prison run by Bill Barr, there’s a lot of story to the Epstein story, enough story that you could probably make a good Spotlight type movie.

One of the nasty political consultants from teh Bush era where he was named Friend of the Blog. Political times changed threatening his breadbowl and like the Lincoln project former McCain GOP consultants, he went to the left for money and to get on TV occasionally.
And promptly dumped on his former friendz.
There is a reason that as bad as politicians may be at being human, campaign consultants often are far scummier in doing anything to make a buck. They are mostly animated by money whoever can pay them.

The original and its related movies are amazing.
The Next Generation begins the decent into mediocrity. They spend way too much time battling germs and way too little battling Klingons and Romulans. The moment they introduced the Ferengi it became gay.
And ALL of the Star Trek vehicles that came out after The Next Generation were gay/feminist and worthless.

There was a true crime show on ID about a father who allegedly left when his son was 18 months. A bunch of weird shit happened and 60 years later his son found his father's body well and truly buried in the basement. It seems his dad invited an ex-con to live with them and help him remodel the house. His mom and the ex-con had an affair and murdered dad, they later married, and he sexually assaulted the daughters. Son had given up finding dad until his sister convinced him to go to a psychic, eventhough he didn't believe, and the psychic told him his father was buried in the basement near a target that used to be in the basement decades earlier.

Fun fact:
The Romans didn't measure breasts in the way [i[we think of breasts, i.e. we think of them as extending outward from the ribcage. Instead, the Romans thought of the outer top surface of the breasts as the surface of the chest, and breasts were described by how "deep" they were, not by how "big" they were. Thus, a woman with what we would call "big" tits were to the Romans "deep" breasts, whereas a woman with what we would call "small" tits had "shallow" breasts.
The Romans had not yet invented internal combustion engines, but apparently they really liked motorboating.

There was a true crime show on ID about a father who allegedly left when his son was 18 months. A bunch of weird shit happened and 60 years later his son found his father's body well and truly buried in the basement. It seems his dad invited an ex-con to live with them and help him remodel the house. His mom and the ex-con had an affair and murdered dad, they later married, and he sexually assaulted the daughters. Son had given up finding dad until his sister convinced him to go to a psychic, eventhough he didn't believe, and the psychic told him his father was buried in the basement near a target that used to be in the basement decades earlier.

Liechtenstein is an enigma within the EU. Residency requirements state that you have to live there at least 6 months and show proof of legitimate funds, health insurance, living quarters, and options for work/ employment. Failure on any of these sends you packing. To become a citizen you have to live there between 10 and 30 years, a local vote among residence in your town, and marriage to a citizen. It gets even more stringent for non-EU members.

The prices of good candy and nuts are quite costly. But, you're right, they're excellent gifts for Grandma and sister and probably anyone else on your gift list.
AoSHq also has a number of cigar connoisseurs who would happily provide suggestions, if you need any.
You'll get it all done. 👍 I think I will too.

Someone here can/will correct me, but .....
Wasn't one of the major reasons for the whole electoral college thinggy, and especially congressional certification, to provide a safeguard against the Georgias of the union? Meaning safeguard against non-reliable or non-credible election processes in individual states?
Pretty sure that's the case. But as the civic culture has waned and then collapsed (many wheels turning in that picture), the electorate has defaulted to a very lazy and uninterested and uninformed "oh the elections are secure enough, signatures and stuff". And so not certifying an election has become unthinkable to the political class. Witness the pathetic Senate GOP performance in 2020.
There is a system (of systems). It's not "broken", it's just being operated with an electorate and political class unable to operate it properly, and unworthy of it.

The Romans knew a lot about building roads, aqueducts, military tactics and logistics, how to manage an empire, but didn't know about cup sizes? I find that hard to believe.
Posted by: Chuck Marte
Brassieres weren't invented until around the 14th century AD. Before that, in (for example) ancient Greece and Rome, they wore what were essentially "breast bands" -- strips of cloth around the midsection, sort of like a tube top. But these strips didn't have cups, and thus no cup sizes. The concept of the bra "cup" took another 1400 years to evolve.
* Roman old ladies and pregnant women sometimes wore support-bands more similar to the modern bra, but the average woman did not.

======
The EV system was derived from how the Holy Roman Emperors were selected (Electors). The convention did not want Congress to select the president because then it would hurt the separation of powers, no one wanted the people to elect the executive directly at the Convention so raw democracy via votes was out, and since the small states wanted some guarantees that large states could not dominate them, you get state by state slates picked by the closest thing to the people that Convention attenders thought prudent. Like the ratifying convention itself, they left it to electors picked and chosen by state legislatures.
No one intended for the party system to take over as it did which made the awkward and ahistoric EV being wagged by the extraconstitutional parties rather than picking individuals of note to select the president.

Something about some weird thing with Bill Hader, which set off Nick. And then he got in a loud shouting match with Meathead, and they were about to call the cops, but Conan said no, it's my house, and I'll decide whether to call the cops or not.
Hell, if they had got the cops there and arrested the lunatic, Meathead would probably be alive.

Just like global warming, when the country doesn't end even after we didn't do X or prevent Y, they come up with a new X and new Y to go crazy about. Same grifting nonsense.

Scotus has a case up for oral argument as to whether accepting mail in ballots after Election Day is constitutional. From Mississippi. The actual day in the Constitution is fixed in the text for federal elections which would suggest that counting ballots not received by Election Day or at least postmarked (as was the issue in several states) might be unconstitutional .
Such a ruling is going to affect the cheat by mail states most of all.

One year, for Thanksgiving, we met my wife's parents in Williamsburg. Our son ate hardly anything of the dinner, just chocolate ice cream for dessert. Afterwards, he had chocolate stains all over his face and the blue blazer he was wearing we went outside, and he wanted to skip down the main street. So we did.

We were all driving back from a soft game one Saturday afternoon. My youngest daughter told me her first joke. I was so surprised and I laughed. Older daughter wasn't paying attention and asked what we were doing. I told her I was sharing a moment with her sister.
Silence. I see her pouting in the rear view mirror. Then in a quiet voice she says , "I want to share a moment too."

Chrysler is part of FCA (Fiat Chrysler Automobiles), which is part of Stellantis. Stellantis is a European company, which means that FCA is now European.
Trust me, I've worked there since 2011. When the merger happened between FCA and PSA (Peugeot SA ("Groupe PSA)), the company stopped being American and became European. All our standards became "harmonized" and the majority of them shifted to the lackadaisical European standards.
Our training has all been from Europe as well. Including and especially the EV training, where they spread propaganda about "global warming" and the need to switch to EVs.
They finally fired that asshole Taveras, but he was doing the bidding of the European and woke board. The new CEO seems to be saying the right words, but not so sure about actions yet. We still have too many outsourced retard Indians in engineering and product development. 75% of my department remains outsourced to India.

Read something like teh National Review in the 70's or 80's, you would have an interesting mix of well educated editors, a few academics, some politicians with a guest column or two, and the conversational level was on par with the salons of Paris back prior to the French Revolution.
Ditto for even center left publications like the New Republic, the news periodicals, etc.
People actually aspired to being a bit conversant in the classics, knowledgeable about literature, history, and civics, etc.
So you had the ability to converse with each other using a common framework. By Lowry's editorship, like the Shrub administration, it was all glitz and discussing dogs rather than serious matters. And that is because the donor base changed, it was no longer the readers through subscriptions but behind the scenes donors that pulled Lowry's strings.
Michael Anton, one of the Claremont school graduates, is someone that should be listened to. The late great Angelo Codevilla and the current Victor Hanson academics, also good.

"Foreign aid should be used for the purpose of furthering the national interest. That doesn't mean we don't care about human rights. That doesn't mean we don't care about starvation. That doesn't mean we don't care about hunger. That doesn't mean we don't care about humanitarian need."
"What it does mean, however, is that even foreign aid, which is NOT charity - it is an act of the US taxpayer."
"The United States' and the taxpayer money should be spent in furtherance of OUR foreign policy, should be spent in places and on things that further OUR foreign policy. And even that is not unlimited."
"We have a limited amount of money that we can dedicate to foreign aid and humanitarian assistance. And that has to be applied in a way that furthers our national interest. And that's what we have sought to do as well."

That's the problem. The US has been subsidizing other countries for years. We pay huge amounts of money for the exact same drugs available in other countries for peanuts.

Lung scan came back okay. Repeat in a year. Being a former long term smoker and over 50 yrs old means checking that regularly. Meh. It took longer to walk from the waiting room to the room where they did the scan than it took to do the scan. Didn't have to do the hospital garb or anything. The scanner talks and has a nice female voice with a British accent.
But my blood sugar is running a bit high and I'm supposed to cut carbs and get more exercise, ( she said, while eating a homemade chocolate chip cookie and drinking a coke with real cane sugar, eyeing the pan full of homemade peanut butter fudge, and contemplating a nap).

My thoughts on weed are these:
1) hate the fucking smell.
2) unlike alcohol, if I stop drinking i start getting sober- not so with weed. Not for me.
3) it's amazing how laid back and out of it weed guys will act and encourage and play into that stereotype- until you even vaguely criticize weed. Then they turn into blue eyed zealots. They come off like Muslims if you insulted the Prophet (BTW fuck Mohammed and fuck your weed.)

You don't suppose there were two shooters, working together, and the one shooting was intended as a diversion for the other? As to the shouting of "allahu ackbar", why not? Either to muddy the waters, or because the shooter was a zealous convert. Wouldn't be the first time some disaffected loser with a grudge had been hoovered up by muzzie recruiters. They gain a lot of converts in prisons, after all.

And his increasingly brain dead posts resemble one poster that no longer cares to post on Instapundit much--Law Prof Bernstein. Same with Glenn floating Althouse posts anymore.
No one cares what they think and most of the shit they say is irrelevant of any present day context.

Just get a cheap nylon or poly jacket that zips up. That's what I use. I'm a cigar fan but hate the smell and filth of the smoke. So I never smoke indoors or while wearing clothes I can't easily wash. I have long hair so I usually put it up into a hat. And as soon as I'm done smoking, I wash my hands.

The real money is in YouTube.
Posted by: TheJamesMadison
The real real money is AI slop videos where current content is ripped off from human content without attribution. Like the Chicom Chinesium crap on Amazon, you can't escape the shit because they just keep changing names, filing off serial numbers and reposting the same shit even if YT takes the original down.
Yet they get paid.
Rick Beato and Phil of Wings of Pegasus note all the fake music videos and their marketing. But it is far bigger than that. Even in the last year, I think about 50-70 percent of YT is now AI slop feeds through algorithms.
Rule of thumb, if they actually have an identifiable talking person or panel discussing the subject like you (and the audio syncs), then it is less likely to be AI crap for now.
Lots of folks have YT only as teasers for paid Patreon or Rumble videos now.

I think the Carolinas have a distribution issue where restaurants effectively own the distributors and take all the quality bourbons before they ever get to liquor stores. I know it was the case in South Carolina, and I assume it's the same in North since I still can't find any of the remotely rarer things.
So, the limited market is suddenly even more limited.

That's the problem. The US has been subsidizing other countries for years. We pay huge amounts of money for the exact same drugs available in other countries for peanuts.
--------------
This. The initial price of new US-developed drugs may need to be relatively high to recover R&D costs in a reasonable timeframe, but this shouldn't continue indefinitely. Once a drug is being sold overseas for peanuts the R&D has been recovered and the the US price should be much lower.

This is oddly true. I smoke me pipe on break at work in my jeep. People walk by all the time and ask what that awesome smell is. First time was the COO of the company and I was all "shit, I'm getting fired for not being in the smoking area." Then nobody said shit so I continued and it's happened a lot since.

It is actually debate about Bob Dylan's Hypothesis:
"Everybody must get stoned....."
The null hypothesis of course is nobody should get stoned, the alternative hypothesis is whether marijuana or booze is the chosen way to get stoned.
What they don't know is that a sample of gray boxers will have be be vivisected in order to test these hypotheses.

There was a true crime show on ID about a father who allegedly left when his son was 18 months. A bunch of weird shit happened and 60 years later his son found his father's body well and truly buried in the basement. It seems his dad invited an ex-con to live with them and help him remodel the house. His mom and the ex-con had an affair and murdered dad, they later married, and he sexually assaulted the daughters. Son had given up finding dad until his sister convinced him to go to a psychic, eventhough he didn't believe, and the psychic told him his father was buried in the basement near a target that used to be in the basement decades earlier.

315,000 Possibly Fraudulent Ballots? Eh...It's Business-As-Usual In Georgia!
Nothing shocking, except for the admission that they are either fantastically bad at their jobs, or are subverting the Constitution.
Or both! 'We Don't Dispute' It: Georgia 315k Vote Bombshell Blows a Big Hole in 2020's 'Most Secure Election' LieA Georgia State Election Board investigation substantiated that Fulton County violated election rules in 2020 by failing to have poll workers sign required tabulation tapes for early votes in 36 out of 37 advanced voting precincts, affecting approximately 315,000 ballots. These unsigned tapes broke the chain-of-custody and certification requirements under Georgia law, which mandates signed tapes as the sole legal proof of authentic vote totals. During a board meeting on December 9th, Ann Brumbaugh, attorney for the Fulton County Board of Registration and Elections, contends that Fulton County does “not dispute that the tapes were not signed.”

Originally, copyright was 14 years with an option for an extra 14.
40 years later, it became 28 years plus an extra 28.
Then, in 1976, it became Life+50 because of corporate pressure. Then Life+70 in the 90s because Sonny Bono was one of history's greatest monsters.
Corporations should not own copyrights. Copyrights should be a limited term and saying, "Well, 1,000,000 years is a limited term because there's a limit to the term" is bullshit, history before corporations decided that they needed to own IP forever belies that.
The problem isn't that Disney owns Mickey Mouse forever, it's that the protection of Mickey Mouse forces everything else to hide behind copyright for nearly a hundred years even though no one can exploit 99% of what's out there.

And copyrights must be registered like before 1976.
Without the Copyright Act of 1976, works from 1998 would be entering the public domain on January 1. Those that didn't have applications for extensions.
All works before 1960 would be in the public domain.

It's not like Disney couldn't use Mickey Mouse after 1980 or so when the copyright was originally going to expire. He could still be all over Disney World. Disney could still produce cartoons.
It was just that Fox could suddenly start making Mickey Mouse cartoons.
And you know what? Mickey Mouse is not sacred. He's a talking rat. He's not worth special protection.

The argument nominally motivating the Democrats to remove any and all election security is that it disenfranchises millions of voters.

Cervantes wound up having to write the second book of Don Quixote because of so much piracy on his initial work. The character complained about people "stealing his name" poorly.
I have a pirated travelogue of Rudyard Kipling where he mentions that he is in the United States specifically to deal with pirated copies of his books being printed in the US.

I love the second half of Don Quixote.
It's a meta-commentary about people who abused Quixote in works not written by Cervantes, and it's wonderfully touching.
That Terry Gilliam brought it over for his movie, The Man Who Killed Don Quixote, was one of the things that made me happiest about that movie.

Disney's trying that. They changed their Disney Animation logo to be Steamboat Willie about ten years ago because they knew they weren't getting another copyright extension.
There have been some lawsuits over the past two years since the original cartoon entered the public domain, and the results are mixed.

True story: I moved the week before the '24 election, and since I'd already updated my address with the Post Office, the poll workers had that address.
Which didn't match my drivers license. So they were only going to let me cast a "provisional ballot." Which to me seems like another way of saying they'd toss it in the trash.
Thankfully, I had my "mail in" ballot at home, I went back, filled it out, and dropped it in the drop box at the courthouse.
I was pissed, but I guess they were just doing their job.

Disney using the government to fine me because I drew Mickey Mouse is an infringement of my rights.
Disney using the government to fine me because I sold a drawing I made of Mickey Mouse is an infringement on my rights.
Copyright is a government created right, not a natural right, and libertarians should oppose it as a matter of principle.
------
You've just about convinced me (no sarcasm intended). But what about somebody deciding that what a network needs is a live-action Mickey Mouse hour-long show every Wednesday in a primetime slot. I'm still not sure why Disney shouldn't have some sort of claim if somebody else used their character and created a huge cash-flow off of it?

They have it now...under certain versions of Mickey Mouse.
(Don't put gloves on Steamboat Willie!)
But, it would probably be a court battle that leads to Disney losing, but no one does it because Mickey Mouse is worthless outside of Disney's use and no one wants the trouble anyway.
My problem, though, isn't with the big copyright holders holding onto things. I don't care about that because the big copyright holders do generally take care of their big copyrights.
My problem is everything below that. The Fox library that Disney is hoarding and won't let anyone use. The books that no one even knows are under copyright or not. The vast majority of works that no one can or will do anything with because publishers and other content providers will just assume they're under copyright

The fraud is probably upstream of that, in the 10,000 ballots that got run through the tabulation machine 5 times to make 50,000. Now, there's a question whether the election workers who ran the ballots through the machines 5 times were told not to sign the tape and they couldn't get prosecuted.
Next step is to get those suspect early ballots from storage and do a recount. I'm betting they've been destroyed and can't be replicated.

What I really want is for Orlando airport to be renamed for Trump. Think of it:
MCO becomes DJT (with apologies to COL McCoy) but then every foreigner who comes to the US thru Orlando is reminded of our greatest president.

This is holiday season in NYC (millions of tourists) with heavy rain. The cost of private rides like Uber should be through the roof. But they were actually less than usual, with plenty of cars available.
How is this possible? Possibly, I got lucky in terms of timing and location. But more likely, the surge model worked, in that it enticed more drivers to go out searching for riders, which increased the supply of cars That put downward pressure on prices, to the point where they were actually less than usual (at least in my circumstances).
Interesting, if nothing else.

When ethernet first came onto the scene, Network Interface Cards (NICs) were an add-on item that you plugged into an open motherboard slot. They still exist. As the tech matured, the networking chips were just integrated onto the motherboard, freeing up expansion slots or allowing for smaller computers/laptops. If your onboard NIC fails, there is always the option of adding an addon card or a USB to WiFi or a USB to ethernet dongle. They're dirt cheap, too.

Brown is run by nearly 4000 administrators (not professors!) who might work in ResLife yet have a PhD in obscure fields (because many of these folks are failed academics who still want to work in academia).
The overcredentialed admins don't actually have any practical skills to do their jobs — so just invent a bunch of busywork for themselves and others, demand six figures, and out of an inflated sense of importance, hire a bunch of assistants to do busywork for them.
This results in a lot of overhead — salaries are the biggest expense category at Brown — and not so much money left for facilities (no security cameras), dorms (lots of flooding and lead paint), or food (poorly regarded).
But at the end of the day, it usually doesn't matter! Unlike other schools, Brown doesn't need safe facilities, nice dorms, or tasty food to attract students because everybody goes to Brown for the Ivy League brand.

two points.
1. Schools generally don't like people with real jobs, like security, because they tend to be rational and not progressive loons.
2. There is a lot of talk about them turning off video to prevent prosecution of pali jew-haters when they riot. Also it endangers illegals preying on students.

Plus we still have very little snow in the Intermountain West and it is impacting my happiness.I will continue to pray for tons of snow. Many feet of snow. The midwest and northeast don't need it like we do for water in the summer.
My husband, a weather nerd from when I met him decades ago, claims it might get better in a week. We'll see. The wind is blowing madly since last night and I pray for snow to follow (which is normal til now).
I see there is no news yet from Miami about the Portuguese narcissist killer. I want to know more about what he did after he left Brown (no doubt in a hissy fit and something maybe happened in the auditorium where he went nuts). Is he ghey or married? Religion? Politics? What was his job? Why was he not legal after this many years on a green card?
I think it is grand that Brown University, with an $8 billion endowment, uses a homeless guy, living in the basement of the building, for security. No secure doors for passkey or ID to accesss the building. No cameras. Just John in the basement.

Can you connect to your router via wired connection instead of wirelessly? If you can and you still have troubles, it's not the wifi.
In cmd prompt, you can do a ipconfig /flushdns
Then do a ipconfig /renew
If that doesn't fix it, you can try
ipconfig
find the "Default gateway" ip address
ping 192.168.1.1 (or whatever the address is)
if you get a reply for the pings, then try
ping google.com
if you get a reply, it's not the network
We can do more if none of that helps.

The aptly named Providence Mayor Brett Smiley might be able to rescue Saturday Night Live from its doldrums. Brown President Christina Paxson could play Smiley’s clueless foil. Providence Police Chief Colonel Oscar Perez, Jr. seemed like a throwback to Garrett Morris’s Chico Escueala in the glory days of SNL.

Can you connect to your router via wired connection instead of wirelessly? If you can and you still have troubles, it's not the wifi.
In cmd prompt, you can do a ipconfig /flushdns
Then do a ipconfig /renew
If that doesn't fix it, you can try
ipconfig
find the "Default gateway" ip address
ping 192.168.1.1 (or whatever the address is)
if you get a reply for the pings, then try
ping google.com
if you get a reply, it's not the network
We can do more if none of that helps.

What bonhomme says. Usual problem is DNS in accessing network, I have rarely seen, other than a driver issue on update, wifi chips stop working.
Usually either an ISP issue or software issue on the device.
I don't even think I have had a router or a modem fail but then again, I buy new ones on a 2 year basis due to increased security technology and higher throughput.

Unfortunately, the more complete way to completely shut down your computer and restart it is.... restart.
Ironically, the "shut down" option, just saves your RAM to disk and turns off the power. And then when you turn back on the power, the OS notices that it was shut down and just loads the image back into memory.

Oh, no. The cardiologist just places stents and has a list of meds to provide, the naturopath passed me to her DO who normally does Rx and the like, and he doesn't read charts.
As for the rest, yes I do all that stuff on my own, also Nattokinase and Bromelain seem to help in some cases but I don't have any direct imaging to help figure out if it is working in my case, and it is definitely not "standard of care".
Standard of care is statins and future stents.
Piper, metabolic syndrome is a complex of issues, and it is starting to be recognized that they are interconnected, and no MD I have dealt with seems to care about any of it. Liver, Pancreas, lipidemia, arteriosclerosis and being overweight are all involved, but arteriosclerosis may be more to do with high blood pressure and damage to the epithelial cells, and of course scarring due to stents. I am told that a zero cholesterol diet may help in about 8 -12 months once my body scavenges it all to protect my nerve sheathes, but it seems as wise as reducing scarring by going on a zero vitamin C diet and hoping the scurvy doesn't kill me first.

Have you blown out the dust in the modem using compressed air recently? Heat is an electronic killer over time and dust on components acts an insulator not allowing heat to escape from capacitors, etc.
Same reason ROKU boxes, and other fanless electronic devices fail over time as well.
Before they fail, they often work intermittently where when the heat gets too much, they shut down. Eventually the components get fried.

That's not what he said. He said that the ways he's tried "connecting" is through his Wifi and by hotspotting his phone.
He didn't specifically say that his phone can't reach the internet. Just that he can't reach the internet by hotspotting his phone.

Fannie Mae employees are not federal employees; Fannie Mae is a Government-Sponsored Enterprise (GSE) that is privately owned but operates under federal conservatorship by the FHFA (Federal Housing Finance Agency), meaning its workers are private sector, not government employees, though the FHFA employees overseeing them are federal
. While Fannie Mae serves a public mission and has government ties (like being in conservatorship), it's structured as a private company, distinct from a federal agency

If the problem was a corrupt routing table, commonly the result of switching between two different network adapters (such as wired and wireless connections) on the same Windows computer, then that will fix it without having to reinstall drivers.

I have a little more respect for Ace than to believe he would try to hotspot a phone that already can't connect to the internet.
Phones don't have to hotspot in order to connect to the internet, so if the phone was not connecting, why would you take the extra step of hotspotting?
It reminds me of the Kids in the Hall skit where Bruce McCulloch plays a guy whose car won't start and knows nothing about car mechanics, and goes around doing things like lifting the wipers and repeatedly says "Try it now".

I had some internet difficulties a couple of weeks ago. I thought my wireless router had failed. Called my ISP for assistance.
Disconnecting everything and then reconnecting it all back the way it was seemed to work, though not sure why.
It's possible I just had a funky cable connection due to one of my cats constantly bumping my tech around.

When Gavin Newsom wins in 2028, this judge should be the first person he pardons. Judge Dugan is a civil rights hero.
The whole prosecution was political in nature and had nothing to do with the law. The prosecutor's tongue can’t be removed from Trump’s ass so the argument that this isn’t political or trying to set an example is so laughably false that he should be disbarred
Trump has obstructed justice on actual serious crimes like a dozen times. MAGA has ruined America and the entire legal system. We need to completely replace SCOTUS.
Hey MAGA, what are you going to do when the broken political and legal system comes for you?
Unfortunately those jurors are now collaborators with an illegitimate regime attempting to destroy America

You do not have to delete it. You can reset it. Run the diagnostic. Right click the network connection down in the bottom right. Expand the stuff if you have to first. Select run diagnostics. It will probably attempt to rest it. If that doesn't work you can bring up a system restore from a few days ago before this all happened.

THE MORNING RANT: After $32B in Losses, Ford Throws in the Towel on EVs – There Will Not Be a Full-Size Electric Pickup Truck
This $20 billion write down is above and beyond the $10 billion+ that the EV debacle has already cost Ford. It’s great news that Ford is finally giving up on the EV folly, but this costly disaster didn’t have to happen. Toyota & Honda wisely showed restraint during peak EV hype.

“Ford to convert EV battery plants to make battery storage for data centers” [Elektrek – 12/15/2025]
Ford is jumping into the battery energy storage business, betting that booming demand from data centers and the electric grid can absorb the EV battery capacity it says it’s not using. To achieve this, Ford plans to repurpose its existing EV battery manufacturing capacity in Glendale, Kentucky, into a dedicated hub for manufacturing battery energy storage systems. Ford says it will invest about $2 billion over the next two years to scale the new business.Ford getting involved in battery storage systems makes as much sense as when Exxon decided to manufacture and sell office machinery. But I understand in part why Ford is doing this. Specifically, without the BESS announcement, Ford would have to own up to another multi-billion-dollar write-off for the zombie Kentucky battery plant. Plus, with this BESS project, Bill Ford can still feel proud that the company is engaging in a form of green, save-the-world posturing. For those of us Tennessee taxpayers who kicked in almost a billion dollars toward Ford’s new electric truck plant (“Blue Oval City”
, there may be some good news. Concurrent with these other major changes in direction, Ford has announced that the never-used, Memphis-area plant will be repurposed toward the manufacture of gasoline powered pickup trucks - but not until 2029. That would be great, but again, I fear that this is really just a stalling tactic to avoid yet another multi-billion dollar write-off. So long as Ford keeps promising production out of that plant at some date in the far-away future, the state of Tennessee can’t claw back the bad investment it made, and Ford keeps the massive loss off of its books – at least for a few more years.
Even though Ford still has a long way to go to fully extricate itself from its negligent EV commitment, killing off its flagship EV and promising that there will never be an all-electric full-size pickup truck is a monumental milestone.

GLENDALE, Ky. (WDRB) — Kentucky invested $250 million in taxpayer money to bring BlueOval SK to the state.
This week, every worker at the Glendale electric vehicle battery plant was laid off.. The shutdown affects all 1,600 employees at the facility and comes after a series of delays, including the decision never to open a second plant known as “Kentucky 2.”
The layoffs also come just four months after production began at Kentucky 1.

Saw this article that says that all the studies they did on alcohol killing the liver did not isolate for other things.
Saturated fats show signs of actually healing an alcoholic rat's liver.
The combination of alcohol and seed oils is what really desiccates the liver. Much less sign of liver damage to alcoholic mice that consumed only saturated fats.
Seed oils are worse than cigarettes. Seed oils are worse than alcohol. Get them out of our food.

I think the flat Japanese economy and Honda having to rely on foreign markets like Europe and US drove that comment. Toyota has the most successful hybrid program which satisfies most of the market that EV's would plus eliminating range anxiety which EVs can't. Honda and the rest like Hyundai/Kia, Nissan, etc. simply did not have the ability to go toe to toe in hybrids so they pivoted toward full EV planning.
The ironic thing is that Ford had probably the best of the dwinding Big Three in hybrid tech and threw it away to go after the EV market.

A truck that was supposed to be sub-20k that is now sub-30k and trying to find base trims is nigh impossible, so the cheap truck is going to cost you just as much as a Ranger, Colorado or Tacoma.

Car companies aren't legally allowed to build trucks the size of the old Ranger or S-10 anymore. Safety standards and all the ancillary BS they're required to tack onto a truck makes the F-150 size about the smallest a real truck can be.

People said we want the Ranger back. Ford said okay, here's "a" new "Ranger," but it's the size of a 1986 F-150.
Then people said no no no, we want a *small* pickup truck like the old Ranger. Ford said okay, and built the "Maverick," a 4-door Ford Escape with a very short pickup bed.
Posted by: Soothsayer at December 19, 2025 11:05 AM (BTBWt)
I was saying this the other day. If Ford wasn't being retarded, they would've released what they're calling the Ranger currently, the F-100, keeping in line with the actual naming convention for their line of trucks, then call what they've named the Maverick, which was a mid sized 4-door SEDAN, the Ranger.

In 1940, the CEO of GM (then the biggest most important company in the world) got a phone call out of the blue from the president of the US. He asked the CEO to leave his top job on the planet (umm, no disastrous boondoggles on his resume) and begin organizing US industry for war production.
The guy (an immigrant who had worked as a stevedore, and been a boxer) said yes, right then. No "let me get back to you", no week of reflection, no PowerPoint presentation. Just - yeah, I'll do it.

It really depends on the extraction process. If they have to super-heat it, put it through a chemical process, bleach it, or something along those lines, then it's bad.
You can get "expeller-pressed sunflower oil" which my understanding is that it is not nearly as bad as the chemically-extracted stuff.
For plant-based oils, it's best to stick with olive, avocado (although there are no quality constraints on avocado oil) and coconut.
The problem with saturated--natural--fats, is that they have a low smoke-point. I think, Gee has the highest smoke point of animal fats.

None of the proponents paused to see the magical thinking inherent in that assumption; that something new and magical will show up just because you want it to.
So lithium batteries showed up and all the cheerleaders and promoters jumped up and down and said "yes! This is all that we needed, it's all good now!" Except that they weren't that much better, and they had a host of new problems that came with them, but no one committed to the new system could afford to say the truth. So they all, for various reasons, committed to trying to ram a Big Lie down the publics throat.
and now it's all falling apart. Because all lies do, eventually.

The type of fellow that is forming out $70-90k on a truck needs it for the trucks abilities, hauling and towing and such. And EVs just underperform at those tasks, they aren't practical as an industrial work truck.
The people that would buy electric trucks for which the truck's abilities are suitable are rural folks that need a truck bed for hauling feed, taking trash to the dump, getting a load of mulch, throw the weedeater in, etc.
But those folks won't fork out $75k for a farm truck. They'll just buy an old gas truck for $5k somewhere.
The power tool and garden tool industry have really done a very good job of assessing the market for battery powered tools, hence the success in those markets. But EV makers have just been stuck in some kind of ideological mindset rather than a pragmatic one.
Tesla's success in the car market has been that, relative to competition, it's not egregiously overpriced for a midsize sedan.

And also, you have to think that a car is expected to carry the weight of itself + passengers + some luggage. A truck is expected to carry significant extra weight. It's gonna tow things, it's going to haul large things in the bed.
The more weight it can tow or haul--weight that does not at all contribute to the power of the vehicle--like battery does--the more you can hype your truck's power. So, again, you need to add more weight to your vehicle in order to give it a chance to tow something significant.

Older guns are more easily fixed because a really good gunsmith can even fabricate or engineer most of them if needed.
Modern cars are a complex mix of computer, sensors, electrical system, and mechanical parts nowadays.
And like the farm machinery industry, due to slowing unit sales, the automakers are relying on proprietary codes, making frequent changes to prevent used parts from being used successfully, and other means to ensure that their dealers and company have a steady income stream from repairs and parts instead of selling vehicles.

Battery storage centers are periodically shut down by battery fires. They catch fire like electric cars do, and the fires are almost impossible to extinguish.
A mad rush to do something stupid.

Sodium ion batteries have just rollled out in the market. Musk is trying to decide between sodium ion and aluminum ion batteries for a cheaper EV. You trade off a bit of energy density by the best lithium ion types which means more weight for a given storage requirement but in return you get greater longevity, much less problems with runaway fires so faster charging, and much cheaper materials as in mebbe 10-20 percent of lithium ion at scale.

Fair enough. I used to do a lot of the gunsmithing myself as you can actually fit small parts pretty well with nothing more than files and stones.
Colt double action revolvers though before they went to coil spring actions in the 70's are like working on Swiss watches and had a lot of experienced Colt technicians hand fitting at the factory on key parts like the pawl and hand.
OTOH, old Smith and Wessons are pretty easy for anyone with mechanical aptitude to work on.

A few companies were smart enough to see the handwriting on the wall and jerked off anti-gas regulators with promises of future EVs that they never really intended to produce:
-- Mazda
-- BMW/Mini (although they did roll out EVs, they were considered laggards)
-- Lamborghini (jerked off regulators with the Lanzador concept that was pretty much vaporware)
-- Toyota and Honda as mentioned above.

[The root cause of the 2008 Financial Meltdown:]
Although later weaponized by DogEater (Making NINJA Loans Great Again!), this crap started with the Clinton Administration back in 1993, announcing plans to crack down on financial institutions to uncover racial discrimination in mortgage lending
The administration also made changes to the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) to make mortgages more accessible to lower- and lower-middle-income families.
Furthermore, they threatened to subject mortgage companies to CRA regulations if they didn't "voluntarily" increase lending to low-income borrowers and minorities, making compliance more attractive to avoid public scrutiny.
HUD Secretary Fredo "The Elder" Cuomo pushed Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to buy $2 trillion in "affordable" mortgages, effectively encouraging lenders to expand credit to minority and low-income borrowers.
Banks that failed to meet CRA obligations risked having their expansion plans blocked, creating strong incentives to increase lending in minority neighborhoods.

Surely this will make people worried about their immigration status show up to their court dates. /s There needs to be the ability for people to appear via video call for these things. It's outrageous that they have to turn up in person, especially in these circumstances.
Well they got their first jury to support the Nazi court prosecutors. The judges dropped the ball here. As a matter of law her conviction is wrongful, and the judge should have thrown it out well before it go to the jury.
Can't wait for the inevitably successful appeal. Why would they decide no on the lesser charge for concealment but convict on the greater charge that is barely any different?
is this a law board? I just checked the sub name and it appears to be so. a jury heard the facts and applied it to the law and made a decision. Happens every day.
If your jury is full of cult members, you are screwed, and the law doesn't seem to matter.

I think we are on the way to a breakup if that happens. But the Democrats are weaker than they appear from polling because a lot of their votes, as seen in Fulton Cty, are non existent bullshit ballots, not actual voters.
If WA, CO, AZ, OR, and CA got rid of mail in ballots as an election method, I guarantee you that Democrats would not be doing nearly as well in elections.

I went to Hobby Lobby to buy a small accent table when a minivan pulled into the spot next to me. A young family stepped out, and as the father tended to their newborn, I noticed a firearm strapped to his waist. I froze with fear — especially in light of the recent shooting in Rhode Island. It made me wonder how we're supposed to tell who is a threat and who is simply going about their lives.

Meanwhile, VDH, notes the passing of three refineries in California and the catastrophic impact this going to have on the state's economy. Of course this is all self-inflicted Communist green madness. The solution? Import gasoline form Asia - you can't make this up. For extra credit this is going to whack Nevada and Arizona too. Plus $8.00 per gallon gas in 2026.

Meanwhile the Phillips shutting down their refinery in CA has had a knock on effect in Washington State with the closing of their Ferndale refinery. This should not only create gasoline shortages in Washington State but also in Oregon as it is 100% dependent on Washington State for gasoline.

LOL, no. Replacing saturated fats with PUFAs from seed oils lowers LDL and reduces CVD risk. Many many reviews have confirmed this.
The biggest argument against seed oil is that it causes inflammation and oxidative stress. This isn't supported in any of the recent reviews.
Reviews of seed oils among diabetic and dyslipidemic
patients found seed oils improve lipid profiles, glycemic control, and reduce oxidative stress markers.
Most of the bullshit about seed oils come from old re-analyzed experiments from 50-60 years ago and supposition that's been proved over and over to be false.

We can save a lot of money and just go there. lol. I am kidding, of course, there are definitely nutrients we need and better ways than others to get them, but surprisingly often, this is the answer.

One of the most amusing delusional commenters who just breezily asserted EVs were clearly the wave of the near and distant future, acceptance was growing, performance was improving, blah blah blah.
Hardly the only topic on which one can see this, but the disconnect between reality and ideology/wishcasting/emotion that now ravages society was never more clearly illustrated.

Ford has also announced that it is getting into the industrial-scale battery electric storage systems business, also knowns as “BESS.” Let me be the first to confidently predict that there will be a multi-billion-dollar write-off for Ford’s BESS distraction in coming years.
They'd have probably been better off going into the BESS business from the start. Every cellular telephone site, switching center, cable TV hub, landline telephone facility etc has backup batteries. In many cases it's mandated by FCC that these sites have x number of hours of battery backup capacity, over and above their backup diesel generators.
But of course, they went EV not just because they wanted to save the planet, but to chase down those sweet, sweet government subsidy dollars.

I'll believe it when I see it. Plus, the comment above isn't accurate about what their capabilities are. It's "up to" 600 miles, which isn't far off from current (bullshit) claims about range. Same with charging. If you have access to one of those super-fast (and expensive) charging stations, and an 800 volt architecture, you can charge in maybe 10-15 minutes. So these new batteries don't move the game on that much further.

Actually, it's the opposite: Exxon's 1980s office venture (word processors/typewriters) flopped amid fierce competition from Xerox/IBM, costing billions.
Ford is smartly repurposing EV battery plants for large-scale LFP container systems (>5MWh) to power grids/data centers—stabilizing renewables, regulating frequency, providing backup amid AI-driven demand. This booming market (Tesla's Megapacks are highly profitable) aligns perfectly with Ford's expertise.
LFP is exceptionally safe: higher thermal stability, lower fire risk than alternatives, ideal for stationary use. Strategic pivot to high-margin growth. This is not new, you are (as always) behind the curve (Google "AES deploys 20 MW of storage in the Dominican Republic")

I used to do big empirical studies and a lot of the statistical methods necessary for certain tasks were first pioneered in medical statistics. The problem with most studies is a) we cannot feed people Purina Human Chow switching out key ingredients for decades to get a decent fix on optimal human food, b) impossible to separate out environmental effects like air pollution, chemicals in water and food, medicines, genetics, etc., and c) cost of panel studies running for decades is enormous and you have to have a much bigger panel at first because of attrition from people dropping out of studies. We have added d) where a lot of 'answers' are simply unacceptable socially so we muddle messages (salt intake for one).
We have multiplied the number of variables to the extent that generalities like moderation are about the easiest solution to very complex interactions among relevant variables.

It all has to do with funding the Left and it's sources: most of the 'green energy' corps were all left-leaning and funding those causes. Vice the 'oiligarchy' companies we're more familiar with. They are far more conservative (although they do donate to Dems) than the EV crowd, and by mandating a move off of gas vehicles, it would help fund more of the left's people. Plain and simple.

Cholesterol is largely endogenous. Something like 85% is produced by your own body. You can make some changes at the margins with diet, but people with hyperlipidemia frequently have a genetic component to where their liver is just going absolutely ham producing the stuff, even if they're eating dry toast and plain tuna for breakfast lunch and dinner. Basically the only way for those folks to improve their lab values is with statins.

Apparently the F-150 EV plan now is to build a truck that has a gasoline engine whose only purpose is to act as an electric generator for the battery. What is this, a comedy routine?
Posted by: Gauloises and Gitanes at December 19, 2025 12:00 PM (HTCU3)
Using a gasoline engine in this application is stupid. Diesel engines are much more efficient as the generator in diesel-electric systems. A diesel engine is REALLY happy at steady RPMs for power generation. Gas engines tend to be better for variable RPM use, as in cars that need quick power application.
The choice of gasoline has nothing to do with performance, it has everything to do with logistics. The gasoline supply network is built out with an existing focus on the average consumer. The diesel network is built with a focus on commercial use.

European society, as a whole is much poorer than in the US, population density and subsidies means greater access to mass transit like trains and busses, and China is now eating the European automakers lunch with low priced EVs that were originally destined for the US. BVD is even setting up assembly plants in the EU for Chicom components.
EU rejected the US as an equal trading partner and decided like Russia to dance with China for consumer goods. Twon't end well for EU industry.

Well, here's the thing. I'm the only N that can do anything from my take on the message "Don't eat saturated fats." Or "Eat more saturated fats." So, it is significant to me if I cut out--to the degree possible--seed oils, increase saturated fats and get good lab numbers.
It makes sense that way, does it not? The goal of such a message is to cause *me* to worry, and *me* to change my habits. But I'm never going to have proof of either without numbers.
So if I have the best cholesterol numbers I've ever had in my life--you don't have to believe me--I could care less--but if I have the best numbers, how do I subscribe to "Oh, yeah, eat more seed oils because they're 'lighter' than saturated fats".
When is the ill-effects to trading in the opposite direction to the advice supposed to catch up with me?

Fact.
Don’t take my word for it, though. Learn for yourself. A dear departed member here named Ciampano posted an excellent treatise on the subject. A book entitled The Oiling of America ; it mentions this.
You may be also shocked to learn that large corporations had an outsized effect on lobbying. Corn interests and cereal for example.
Read and learn. You don’t have to accept it, or agree with it. But the Cholesterol = Heart disease was not and is not without serious controversy.

Coconut oil is excellent for frying, popping corn, etc and doesn’t seem to cause gut issues either. At least with me. I would use 90 wt gear oil if it tasted OK and the price was right.
Sometimes you’ll hear “use a neutral tasting oil”, this doesn’t really make any sense either. Fat is flavor, no way around it.

It's clear that the future is EV for cars and trucks. Only one company, Tesla, makes EVs at a profit.
Ford hired some ex-Tesla guys and they are heading a "skunkworks" project to build EVs that can actually make a profit. Expect this to be big news when it's unveiled. I expect their first EV to be a small car, not a truck.
Building an EV truck with an onboard generator isn't completely stupid. Stellantis is planning to sell a truck like that too. But IMHO it's better to have a pure ICE truck or a pure EV truck... instead of hauling a generator around, just run on gas or else put extra batteries in the truck. But since Ford can't build EVs at a profit yet, the hybrid EV truck looks good to them.

It really depends on the extraction process. If they have to super-heat it, put it through a chemical process, bleach it, or something along those lines, then it's bad.
You can get "expeller-pressed sunflower oil" which my understanding is that it is not nearly as bad as the chemically-extracted stuff.
For vegetarian oils, it's best to stick with olive, avocado (although there are no quality constraints on avocado oil) and coconut.
The problem with saturated--natural--fats, is that they have a low smoke-point. I think, Gee has the highest smoke point of animal fats.

"Subjugation of a highly mobile society is difficult."
If I was a dictator in charge of the federal goverment it would have been easier for me to inmobilize you if you drive a gas vehicle instead of an EV. Just close the refineries, blow away the pipelines and good luck fueling your vehicle.
If you have an EV, there are many ways to get the energy to "fuel it" that are out of my reach. There are 132 refineries in the USA according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). Meanwhile, there were as of 2022 12,538 utility-scale electric power plants in the USA as per the same source.

"Ev cars are where battery power tools were 40 years ago. Shiny, new, and totally impractical. They took hours and hours to charge, and lasted 20 minutes if you were lucky."
Tell me you don't know anything about EVs without telling me that you don't know anything about EVs. It takes seconds to charge an EV. You just plug it in when you arrive at your home, office or wherever. Go on and do your business and when you come back your "tank" is full.
Posted by: DominicanVoices at December 19, 2025 01:41 PM (9IJFs)
There are even more EV "fuel" sources if you count houses with solar panels. My house can charge my car most months of the year. (I live at a northern latitude and December/January are not good months for solar production.)
I think few of the people who read this blog have an oil well plus refinery in their home. This is an advantage for EVs.
My car could be remotely disabled, but if I was really worried about that I could disable the cellular antenna and never hook the car up to WiFi. An EV with remote access disabled is the most dictator-safe vehicle you could get.
In fact there are portable solar panels that you could carry in your EV. They would take days to recharge the car, but you totally could be off-grid and moving around from place to place.

"Ford's problem with EVs is that they don't know how to make them for a profit. It's clear that the future is EV for cars and trucks. Only one company, Tesla, makes EVs at a profit."
Correct. My concern with the author of this piece and others covering EVs in conservative media is their reluctance to ground opinions in facts. Claims that EVs are neither practical nor profitable must address Tesla's success: a viable business with $97.69 billion in revenue in 2024, $7.1 billion in GAAP net income, and 1.789 million vehicles delivered. Millions of Tesla vehicles are on roads globally.
Tesla (and Elon Musk specifically) shares some responsibility due to limited traditional advertising of vehicles and EV benefits. As evident in comments here, much public 'knowledge' about EVs stems from persistent myths.
Posted by: DominicanVoices at December 19, 2025 01:52 PM (9IJFs)
I have an EV as my daily driver. I hook it up to my home charger when I need to charge. It takes less time to charge than I take to sleep so overnight charging seems "instant".
On long road trips I need to stop at a fast charger. The car takes a similar amount of time to charge as I would want to stop for a meal anyway.
On very long road trips, like coast to coast, the charging would annoy me. But I never do that, and at least I would be saving some money vs. paying for gasoline.
My longest trip was down the west coast, to visit family in California. I would totally do that trip again in my EV.
When I have to rent a gasoline car, I'm always shocked again by how much worse the car is compared to my EV.
To those of you who prefer gas: good for you, keep driving gas cars. However, please don't try to tell me what EVs are like.
Posted by: mr_jack at December 19, 2025 01:54 PM (LNPSJ)
Something that I ask critics of EVs is if they ever count the numbers of cars on the side of the road when on long trips and see how many of them are EVs. I honestly can't recall ever seeing one. Not that it never happens, but not as often as regular vehicles. This is important because how often critics claims that they might get stuck on the side of the road with an empty battery.

This is something that Akio Toyoda (Chairman, BoD, Toyota) recognized when the whole EV surge began. Although Toyota (the car company) built some EV's and plugin hybrids, they really went hard on the "fully" hybrid market. This was SMART!
There are advantages to direct drive electric motors to the wheels. Torque, HP, even regen braking. But for MILEAGE and REFUELING, there is NOTHING that beats an ICE.
If Ford had introduced a HYBRID F150 instead of fully electric, I "might" have considered one. Instead I opted for a 5.0L V8 (and even considered their 6.2L).
Only IDIOTS buy fully electric EVs!!!!

Maybe the seats are covered in something. My dad's '58 Chevy Impala came with vinyl-trimmed cloth seats. He went out and had plastic seat covers put on at least the front seat. The plastic yellowed quickly and began to peel before very long -- and since the Impala had no A/C, the seats were damned hot when the car had been in the sun.
For a long time leather was a very rare option except on top-of-the-line convertibles. Pre-war cars usually had some kind of fuzzy cloth, sort of like velour, or cord material. Vinyl, I think, began to appear in the Fifties.

The BLS says we lost 41,000 jobs in 2 months.
But control for Federal layoffs and we gained 121,000.
Control for deportations and we gained 300,000.
The “Weak” job numbers are entirely made of Federal layoffs and millions of illegals going home.

David Bell's 1976 model in The Mathematical Gazette applied concepts not allow here to proved the opposite. During most of the late night weed-induced ramblings on the subject - pot heads forget there are two sources of wetness (Don't even you guys!). Wetness from above and frontal wetness.
Rain from the front (you "collide" with drops as you move forward): This is proportional to your speed—you hit more drops per second when running. However, over a fixed distance, the total frontal hits are the same regardless of speed (you sweep through the same volume of rainy air).

Spread out among the entire US, one probably would not notice much. We are a really big place which is why anecdotes are so incomplete to get a good picture.
That being said, enrollments in public schools has dipped in major metro areas significantly during the last year to the extent one large city near me is discussing closing schools.
From Alabama,
"Another key reason, though, is that some students “just disappeared” and never showed up despite being enrolled in an Alabama public school, he said. Alabama superintendents have told Mackey that it seems a majority of those students who were unaccounted for were Hispanic with unknown immigration statuses, he said.
Because of the sharp decline in overall student enrollment, Mackey projects that the district will need 500 to 700 fewer teachers by the 2026-27 school year. "

Housing costs fluctuate. In 2008 housing costs went waaaaay down. Was it also from self deportations?
Plus in 2024 there was a record number of apartments built nationwide. Around 575k units. And 2025 was close behind with 500k units. That’s what led to lower rents not imaginary millions of self deportations.

From Alabama,
"Another key reason, though, is that some students “just disappeared” and never showed up despite being enrolled in an Alabama public school, he said. Alabama superintendents have told Mackey that it seems a majority of those students who were unaccounted for were Hispanic with unknown immigration statuses, he said.
Because of the sharp decline in overall student enrollment, Mackey projects that the district will need 500 to 700 fewer teachers by the 2026-27 school year. "
Posted by: whig
Ok that’s fair.
However student enrollment has been crashing everywhere because Millenails stopped having kids. And older GenZ are having even fewer kids that millennials did. One crazy number I saw is there are more people 60+ in the US than under 10.
The entire education system and the kid economy as a whole is going through some major structural changes. Toys R Us going bankrupt was a canary in the coal mine.

One of the accounts I follow on X is Shipwreckedcrew. Former federal prosecutor turned defense lawyer. Defended many J6 defendants for donations.
He said the judge hearing the case is very liberal but played the case straight. He expects a 1 year and 1 day prison sentence which I guess in the federal sentencing guidelines would make her eligible for good time and a reduction in time.

It's quite another thing to actually see accountability in one's lifetime for something like this. Especially when the entirety of the judicial system is clearly on the side of the criminals.
There will certainly be some shuffling of papers, some indictments drawn up and all the other theater we've come to expect. But I'm fairly certain nobody's going to prison over it. If anyone gets the blame it's going to some poor slob nobody's ever heard of and was likely only marginally involved and unable to find funding for a robust defense.

High School enrollment until this year was trending up a bit (decent economy during Bush years) but middle and elementary were dropping.
Simply put, we have to use indirect measures because the fed government (and states, etc.) do not know who we have in this country for decades now.
Many of those illegals worked in the shadow economy of floating cash paid jobs and the easiest sign of those departing should be rising costs for labor and construction depending on how slack the local jobs market are. ICE has not done very much yet in Workplace Enforcement and instead focused on criminals and terrorists first.
Complicating matters is the Reagan amnesty bill let employers off the hook if they took I-9 forms and the proffered ids at face value.

The New York Times makes another big effort to connect Trump to Jeffrey Epstein's crimes. Fails again. "The Times interviewed more than 30 former Epstein employees, victims of his abuse and others who crossed paths with the two men over the years. The Times also obtained new documents that illuminate their relationship and scoured court documents and other public records...An examination of their history by The New York Times has found no evidence implicating Mr. Trump in Mr. Epstein’s abuse and trafficking of minors."

Urbanization drives lower birth rates because it raises the cost of having kids. And you get the stagnant economy for the middle of the income bell curve since the 1970's with declining real per capita income. Only Trump has managed some upturns much to the dismay of our investing class.
Cheaper labor from waves of immigrants legal or not results in depressing native fertility rates and is a perfect example of the tragedy of the commons.

Looted by hedge funds types. Startup retailers (or restaurants for that matter) often cut deals with real estate investors to get started, then end up buying their own real estate if successful. WalMart, for example, to get started, often gave percentages of a store's gross sales but negotiated a lower fixed rent to the developers. As WalMart got bigger, then it let those old stores sit empty and built new ones that it owned. Eventually a lot were spun off to Hobby Lobby or other stores that did not compete with Wal Mart.
Sears was where Eddie Lampert looted it first by merging it with bankrupt K Mart, and then by spinning off the store real estate and charging rent back to the retail business. Has become a popular tactic claimed by hedge funds to 'unlock' hidden value but it ends up bankrupting the retail companies (and restaurant chains that used that tactic to get big).

Has there ever been an instance of property taxes decreasing in an American community?
/only half-joking
* asks Brave AI and gets following incorrect answer -- as the context equates "decreasing" with having to pay increased buy "relatively lower than they would have otherwise been" owing to Califzuela's Prop 13: *
"Yes, there have been instances of property taxes decreasing in American communities, primarily due to policy changes and voter initiatives. For example, California’s Proposition 13, passed in 1978, significantly restricted property tax increases by freezing assessments at 1975 levels or the purchase price and limiting annual increases to 2 percent.
This led to a substantial reduction in property tax burdens for many homeowners, effectively decreasing their tax payments over time as property values rose without corresponding tax increases."

The fact is that Governor Kemp and AG Carr knew about this from teh get go and have refused to do a damn thing about nor about the fake electors case bullshit from Fulton County. They haven't done a damn thing and even the GA House and GA Senate, both controlled by GOP have done little enough. GA appellate courts have also been profiles in cowardice--not killing the fake cases outright years ago and not ordering Fulton to turn over those ballots for public perusal in 2021 when the suit began for access.
GA Sos Ratshitburger is another cog in the wheel by he and his employees lying at every moment to protect fraud in Fulton (and probably Savannah, Macon, and other blue areas) including the Senate runoff in 2021. They can all rot in hell for what they did.

Saw this article that says that all the studies they did on alcohol killing the liver did not isolate for other things.
Saturated fats show signs of actually healing an alcoholic rat's liver.
The combination of alcohol and seed oils is what really desiccates the liver. Much less sign of liver damage to alcoholic mice that consumed only saturated fats.
Seed oils are worse than cigarettes. Seed oils are worse than alcohol. Get them out of our food.

The Morning Report — 12/19/25
we have two separate shootings on two of the nation’s top campuses, Brown University and at MIT. . .Are these incidents all connected somehow. Given the assassination of Charlie Kirk and several failed attempts on President Trump as well as the violent rhetoric and actual violence and acts of terrorism by the Left cheered on and encouraged by the Democrat propagandist media and the Democrats themselves not just in the Trump era but virtually throughout our history. Well anything is possible, and maybe the MIT Professor had links to Academia’s bête noire The State of Israel or was targeted by the Chi-Coms or other foreign state actors? Meh, just spit-ballin’ here. Don’t cost nuthin’. . .Well, the gunman offed himsef and it turns out he was a Portuguese national, as was his victim at MIT. What his connection to the victims at Brown is unclear, except for the fact that he attended Brown at one point. But here's the kicker:
Israeli officials are reportedly investigating a possible Iranian connection to the murder of senior MIT nuclear scientist Prof. Nuno F. G. Loureiro, who was reportedly shot at his home on Monday evening by unknown assailants and died in the hospital a few hours later. Professor Loureiro, 47, was the director of the Plasma Science and Fusion Center at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), whose faculty he joined in 2016. He was born and raised in Portugal, earning an undergraduate degree from the Instituto Superior Tecnico in Lisbon and a Ph.D. from Imperial College in London, then spending several years at the Institute for Plasmas and Nuclear Fusion in Lisbon before moving to the United States. . . “The Israeli investigation is being conducted against the backdrop of Loureiro’s sensitive field of research,” JP reported. “However, informed sources have emphasized that at this stage, there is no unequivocal determination or evidence linking the murder to a state or intelligence operation.” The Jewish magazine Forward on Wednesday sought to debunk social media rumors that Loureiro was killed because he was an outspoken supporter of Israel and Jewish people as unfounded. The rumors appear to be based on some social media posts that were mistakenly attributed to Prof. Loureiro, but actually written by someone else using the same name, along with a photo posted to social media that claimed to show a “Stand With Israel” sign in the professor’s window. . . There has been much speculation about such a connection, since the killer has proven remarkably elusive in both cases, and Loureiro’s home in Brookline is only about 50 miles from Brown University, so it would not be difficult for the killer to get from one murder site to the other in less than two days.Well about me saying "Am I good or what?" I'll go with the "or what" choice. As I said, given everything going on both at home and abroad and the Venn diagram of events intersects at quite a few points. Almost any day of the week, the links we have can be played almost like that old game called "Mad Libs" no not angry leftists but a play on the expression Ad-lib, although there are myriad Mad Libs/angry leftists that populate virtually every link to one degree or another. Where or how the victims and perpetrator in these killings are connected vis a vis the motive is still unknown, and as President Trump is fond of saying, we'll just have to wait and see. Unless of course the propaganda media and their paymasters in the institutional left deem the truth way to inconvenient and damaging to their narrative. As in this case:
How bad is the establishment media? How much does it present propaganda disguised as news? How low will it stoop? Here’s a case study. A “Sioux Falls man” was arrested on Tuesday. It seems that this particular Sioux Falls man was minding his own business, not bothering anybody, livestreaming on Facebook, when he suddenly decided to let the world know that all was not right in the world of Sioux Falls Man. He announced, right on his Facebook livestream, that he was planning to burn a building down. He also brandished a gun and a knife. . . Having thus advertised his intentions to the world, Sioux Falls man was arrested, and the local media covered the story. Yet the way that one Sioux Falls “news” outlet presented the facts has implications that go far beyond Sioux Falls and the story of one local boy who went bad. . . You’d reasonably expect, or even assume, that this was a photo of the Sioux Falls man who was livestreaming and announced his plans to commit an act of arson. Yet not only was it not a photo of the perp, but it was a photo that showed someone who was about as different from the perp as it would be possible to get. . . the real Sioux Falls man who issued this arson threat was not the man in KELO’s photo. Instead, he was a black man named Mohamed Mansarry. Likely because of all the attention KELO received from their false photo (End Wokeness has 3.9 million followers on X), it has taken down the story that it initially circulated with the misleading photo; now all there is at that link is a Page Not Found notice. . .
The story that KELO now has up carries Mohamed Mansarry. But what was going on with that other photo? One X user offered the most likely explanation: “The media operates as a laundering service for the regime’s persistent failures. This visual deception in Sioux Falls is a blatant example of narrative control. KELO News substitutes a stock photo of a white man for Mohamed Mansarry to preserve a hollow multicultural illusion. This is a calculated attempt to sanitize demographic reality. You liberal sycophants swallow this visual poison because you fear the truth more than the fire Mansarry threatened to start. The press functions as the propaganda wing of a crumbling state that relies on your blindness to survive.”
At the tail end of the latest edition of the podcast CBD and I were reminiscing about the good old days growing up in the greater NYC area. For me it was the Flatbush/Midwood section of Brooklyn, having graduated from what was an outstanding example of what the concept of the Melting Pot ought to be: Midwood High School, where whatever your religion, ethnicity or background, we all somehow managed to get along and embraced not only our heritages but our common heritage of being American. Anyway, when we were off the air, CBD asked me about notable alumni: Unfortunately one of my predecessors was Woody Allen and some years after I ventured as far away as across the street to Brooklyn College, came the truly execrable Hakeem Jeffries. I don't know if fellow alums Didi Conn, Morty Gunty or David Peel collectively offset the latter two. But sadly, one of my own classmates, who long ago and far away I once considered a friend. I haven't seen nor spoken with him in ages and with this story I likely never will:
Thursday on CNN’s “The Lead,” network medical analyst Jonathan Reiner said the “manic cadence” of President Donald Trump’s White House address raised medical concerns.One of Dr. Reiner's former patients was the late VP Dick Cheney. IIRC way back when when Cheney either had one of his dozens of heart attacks or was diagnosed with a serious heart ailment early on in Dubya's first term, I believe Reiner operated on him, and he became a go-to press source for politician-related medical stories. Anyway, Oh Johnny, my old friend and classmate, it pains me to say this but that you've let yourself descend to the level of being a flaming asshole paid propagandist with an MD shingle is disgusting and disappointing beyond belief. I'm ashamed and embarrassed for you, and I cannot believe we came up together in the same environment. Perhaps this story is too personal but it is nevertheless illustrative of the nature of both the media as well as how one's personal politics can cloud any sense of ethics and decency, or more frighteningly that their personal politics and blinkered uninformed worldview gives them a sense of moral superiority that they are justified in doing what they do. Lying is truth telling to them. They have gone full Orwellian 1984. Meh, basta cosi. Elsewhere, shiver me timbers!!!

“I’m calling on every conservative governor in the nation to do an event like this with us and make promises, and create a culture where a leftist teacher or administrator is scared to trample on the First Amendment rights of a 15-year-old.”
The only way to make these people scared is facing real consequences. And I hope Turning Point has a bunch of lawyers ready to go and they are able to broadcast the names of the teachers and admins that are causing problems.

Heh. I like that. But seriously, I remember a few years back when there was a shooting from a sailor that ended at the local base. During the interview:
Reporter: "What was the name of the person?"
Spokesman: "He was a Navy Corpsman."
Reporter: "OK, but what was his name?"
Spokesman: "He was a Navy Corpsman."
Reporter: "Can I buy a vowel?"
Spokesman: "He was a Navy Corpsman."
And then it came out that he was an African migrant who was a Corpsman. Needless to say, the story was strangled quickly.

The LIRR Long Island Railroad is a commuter railroad generally running from Manhattan out to the east end of Long Island.
The "subway" is part of the NYC transit system, of primarily subways and a couple of elevated lines that connect four boroughs except Staten Island.

Federal Requirements
To purchase a firearm from a Federal Firearms License (FFL) dealer, a legal permanent resident must:
Not be a "prohibited person": LPRs must meet the same baseline eligibility requirements as U.S. citizens. Prohibitions include, but are not limited to, felony convictions, certain domestic violence misdemeanors, a history of involuntary mental health commitments, or being subject to a protective order.
Complete ATF Form 4473: This required form explicitly confirms the individual's LPR status and requires them to attest to their eligibility under penalty of federal perjury.
Pass a NICS background check: The FFL dealer will submit the information to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS).
Provide identification: LPRs typically need a state-issued driver's license or ID card and their Permanent Resident Card (Form I-551, or "green card") which contains their USCIS, AR, or A number
Some state laws mandate additional info be supplied.

I love the ongoing war to win viewers in the lucrative, yet very crowded pod cast market. Its so lucrative even Bongino had to return.
The problem is, Joe Rogan popularized the three hour long format and now hundreds of Influencers are trying to win the coveted position of being the most popular. There are only so many viewable hours in the week and with the multi-hour episodes, the competition is fierce AND GLOBAL.
Its no longer Americans they seek to get (since we are a dwindling market in comparison to everyone else on the planet) but an international market and an up-rise in disenfranchised young men.

A man suspected of killing two people and wounding nine others at Brown University before going on to kill a Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor has been found dead in a New Hampshire storage facility, where he had rented a unit, officials said.
Claudio Neves Valente, 48, a Portuguese national and a former Brown student, was found dead on
Thursday evening from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, the Providence police chief, Oscar Perez,
said at a news conference. He added that, as far as investigators knew, the suspect had acted alone.

So after taxes, and assuming only one winning ticket, you instantly become the CEO of a one person entity with $500M-$750M cash, no product, no brand, no investments.
If you give it away - you are sending up a flare in all directions for every free-loader and an invented sob story.
If you spend it on toys, its hard to disappear with a fleet of Lambos surrounding your Hawaiian island palace.
If you invest in real-estate and private equities, what is the point in having the loot if it is tied up in future growth? You plan on living forever or leaving it to others who don't mind having to spend a few million a year on security so they don't become kidnap bait?

This monolithic superstate hasn't yet begun to crumble, but I think we're starting to see the first cracks. They'll be papered over in the next few years, but they will still be there.
I stand by my story - they'll shore it up and increase the pressure on dissent. Maybe they'll even get very violent about that. But a system this blatantly corrupt won't live longer than the people who are teenagers today, and I may well see the regime fall.
My standing prediction is sometime in the late 50s or early 60s.
The fed gov will get worse and worse and the situation will become unbearable by the time boys born ten years from now are coming of age.

Eventually, Colonel Jessep utters the immortal words: You have to ask me nicely…

They gifted the President of the US a goddamn airplane. Tucker's getting some prime Qatari real-estate and wads of cash for peddling his nonsense to the unwashed masses.
It's to the Qatari government's best interests to minimize the poor perception people have about Islam... specifically in Qatar. The tiny country is ascendant in the Middle East. Home to one of the largest US bases in the region. Tucker's one of their paid spokespersons. A lot of others are in our government.

Marxist "self-gassing" Jews play a game where they claim to not be white when they're advocating for DEI. Scientifically they have the same claim to being non-white as Arab Muslims, but they generally aren't considered non-white either. Islam itself has been made into a race for victimhood purposes.

Looking at overnight stories this morning, like like Tucker finally and completely jumped the shark last night. He was allowed to give a speech at TPUSA, and the clips show a frantic, clearly upset Tucker telling his audience that “Islam is good! We should all be friends with Islam! It’s a huge evil conspiracy to say that Islam is an enemy of western civilization!”
And he went on and on about what a joyful peaceful religion Islam is, it was embarrassing to watch him, it was like watching a little monkey in a hat dance while his organ grinder stood just off stage, smiling.
He made it obvious last night that Tucker is no longer America first - he is Qatar first.

What exactly what TPUSA's purpose with Charlie Kirk? What exactly have they been accomplishing over the past 10+ years since its formation other than develop influencers who get rich from speeches and social media videos?
To me, they have always seemed nothing more than the modern-day National Review and CPAC. Not actually doing anything more than talking and enriching themselves from it.

Every president post WW II put the welfare of the American People second to the prosecution of the Cold War. They were all Globalists by definition.
You hit the nail on the head. When the Soviets fell - the Globalism never stopped. Bush Sr was indeed the first culprit.
Trump is quite literally the first Nationalist President in about 100 years, depending on how you view Hoover. Thats quite a shock to the political system. Quite a shock to a national culture that has grown used to be driven by their government rather than served.

Campuses are hostile places for conservatives and people of faith. Neglect by older generations and nostalgic views of a long past liberalism at college don't apply to the reality of colleges today.
Leftist professors harass conservatives in class openly and their flying monkey leftist students join in. They are physically assaulted while the adminstrations do little or nothing, their meetings are interrupted by screaming leftists, adminstrations refuse to pay for speakers from the right while every nasty leftist gets a generous sinecure. Obama and 9/11 took that liberalism and turned it into commie tactics on campus--By Any Means Necessary.
TP was literally a semi safe space where conservative leaning students could meet and talk and act collectively in forcing grudging administration types to recognize them as official student groups which opens the doors to securing free meeting rooms, etc.
If older generations had done their job, colleges would have never become such nasty intolerant places for faithful Christians, Jews, and conservatives.

I think the talk of TPUSA's demise is a bit premature. The number of new chapters and members has exploded since Charlie's murder. The need is still there and there are obviously millions of young people looking for an alternative to the left.
It was bound to be a bit of a messy transition. Charlie was one of a kind and it will take a team to replace him and get back on course but I think the movement will continue in one way or another.
And among their next missions appears to be getting Vance in as 48. That gets huge applause at their meetings whenever it is announced.

I don't know why or if TPUSA tried to arrange a Shapiro debate, but Levin did come right out on his show and share the texts with Tucker where TPUSA wanted them to debate.
Then Levin admitted that he is a scared, weak little man and couldn't face Tucker.

Islamic adherents are actually racist themselves--they allow others to join but Arabs and those that can trace their lineage to Mo or his compatriots are the true guardians of Islam. Everyone else is inferior and some sects (Druze, Alawites, Sufi, Shia in Sunni areas and Sunni in Shia areas, etc), are viewed as heretics deserving of the sword just as much as infidels. They look down upon blacks and were quite active slavers back in the day except they ended up killing en masse blacks or making them eunuchs. Still going on in South Sudan and West Africa among other places.

I simply do not know. Trump is making an issue of how bad our colleges have gotten and DeSantis in Florida has tried his best to fix his state schools.
But whether these are one off efforts not followed by successors or a sustained campaign, I do not know.
Most GOP governors and state legislatures simply neglect dealing with the noxious and toxic colleges other than tut tutting and taking out an occasional nutjob administrator or professor. Drops in the ocean.
They don't move against DEI on campus (which is the kernel of commie activists in administration and the professorate), they don't fix the rotten system of student funding, allow costs to proliferate, and they spend more time worrying about who is football coach and AD than they do about their academics.

That's good to hear about the fundraising and GOTV efforts. Good that they are not keeping all the money they raise for themselves like grifting organizations do.
That said, I would guess that the popularity of Charlie Kirk and TPUSA resulted from a consistent message over the years. When an event run by TPUSA invites people like Tucker Carlson and others who do not preach the organization's message, the organization will lose credibility and support.
Also, it seems the "conservative movement", such that it is, seems to always be involved in stupid drama. Steven Crowder, Daily Wire, Tim Pool, Candace Owens and on and on and on. Either these people are ridiculously childish and can't put the movement above their own personal pettiness or... they're grifters doing this for clicks and views and likes.
I have always felt it was the latter with all of these people "on the right". There is no unity. Just a bunch of people with big egos fighting.

Daily Tech News 19 December 2025
Top Story
- The unfortunately named Paris Buttfield-Addison bought a $500 Apple gift card at a major Australian brick-and-mortar outlet.
Turns out the card had already been redeemed, and when he tried to redeem it, it was rejected.
The outlet agreed to provide a replacement gift card, so all was well.
Then Apple terminated his account and bricked all of his devices. (Hey.Paris)My Apple ID, which I have held for around 25 years (it was originally a username, before they had to be email addresses; it's from the iTools era), has been permanently disabled. This isn't just an email address; it is my core digital identity. It holds terabytes of family photos, my entire message history, and is the key to syncing my work across the ecosystem.
You might be thinking at this point that this guy is an idiot for giving a single company complete control over his personal and work life in this way.
I effectively have over $30,000 worth of previously-active "bricked" hardware. My iPhone, iPad, Watch, and Macs cannot sync, update, or function properly. I have lost access to thousands of dollars in purchased software and media.
You would be correct.

- Intel looks set to release a big Battlemage. (WCCFTech)
This will be about 60% than the current B580, which is a fairly decent value at $250 since it offers 12GB of RAM. The new card will have 16GB of RAM.
Price and release dates are left to be generated by some random LLM somewhere.
- TikTok has agreed to be sold to a US-led investment consortium. (Tech Crunch)
The parent company, ByteDance, will retain a 20% stake in the new join venture.

US suspends green card lottery scheme after Brown shooting
President Donald Trump has suspended the US green card lottery scheme in the wake of a mass shooting at Brown University last week in which two people were killed.
The suspect, a Portuguese man who was found dead on Thursday, entered the country through the diversity lottery immigrant visa programme (DV1) in 2017 and was granted a green card.

I get to my car and the motion-activated floodlights were on. OK...maybe it's the local wildlife paying us a visit. Nope. It was Winnie. The gate had been blown open and she was standing around looking puzzled. Thankfully, she came up to me quickly and I got her back in the house.
So padlocks for the gates are on the to-do list.

Failed physics graduate student at Bruno twenty years ago. Greased the proper palms to get Resident status. Bummed around doing fuck all for two decades. Someone saw him and tailed him for a short time prior to the murders, and then ratted him out once his webble-like appearance was posted. Offed himself in a storage locker after authorities got his name, et cetera from the car rental company.
Here's the tell -- three names. The bad ones always have three names.

The DV1 Program is an abomination to God and Man. Literally.
The world has spent untold billions of dollars in all kinds of psychological, sociological and anthropological studies, experiments and other research.
We know what happens when you have tribes mixing it up.
We know what happens when you inject hostile cultures into an otherwise homogenous one.
We know what happens when you dissolve a sucessfull credal society with those not only outside the camp, but hostile to it.
The idea of "assimilation" demands a Best Case Scenario where the foreign tribe drops their identity and merges with what is to them an alien identity. Except now, we are an Identity nation where it isn't just ethnic and family tribes, but whole new arbitrary and perverted distinctions.
Yet they deliberately set upon a plan that was absolutely guaranteed to weaken a society in many ways - with zero upside except for those who profit from chaos.

There has to be a league of Portuguese-Ammericans, largely silent since the days of that one pool table gang rape case, who will speak out on the backlash they're about to suffer. We no doubt have a large hidden reserve of anti-Portuguese bias just waiting to be revealed. 'Watch This Space.'
What would you say the chances are for NCIS: Providence? Young FDR had a scandal there, in 1919.
Homeless Brown Resident Genius just became the new archetype for street people, perhaps deservedly so. I have not been boring you with tales of my homeless employees, but suffice it to say that Bob Dylan (or was it Silliphant, or Genet, or Francois Villon?) wasn't just a-woofin' when he wrote "to live outside the law you must be honest." What a script treatment!
Other Brown Victim will make for a trickier made-for-streaming-TV series, and I wonder if we have the writers any more to deal with it.

Basically if the gift card is on a display rack there is a good chance a thief has already copied the number.
As soon as the gc is activated they get an alert and they use it.
Some stores now have cards which don't even get a number assigned until activation to combat thus.
However I suppose the thief could guess a bunch of numbers.

Several years ago I was in London, stopped at a little bar set up outside. There was a big warning sign letting us know that there were NO surveillance cameras on site.
Like that was a bad thing........

There may not have been any cameras on that site, but it's London so you can be sure there were probably 50 cameras on nearby sites picking up the slack.

I love Susie Wiles: Members of President Trump’s close team met with Vanity Fair at the White House. I don’t know why they did this, but that’s not my job. Among the interviewees was one Susie Wiles, Trump’s chief of staff, my instant favorite of the lunch bunch. She said Trump “has an alcoholic’s personality,” and that Elon Musk is an “avowed ketamine [user]” and an “odd, odd duck.” J.D. Vance? That old queen? He’s been a “conspiracy theorist for a decade,” says Suz. Talking to Susie Wiles sounds exactly like talking to about half a dozen older women in my life, like I swear to you if you called my mother-in-law today this what she would say about me. It’s as though all women, at a certain age, converge on an omnipolitics in which there is no left and right, there are only odd ducks, kooks, out-to-lunchers, and real sick puppies. Susie Wiles, please come over for dinner, you remind me of my Yaiya; your wisdom is deep, your judgment is final.

In what the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) called “an extremely rare event,” an adult Michigan man became infected with rabies following a kidney transplant. According to a CDC report, the man received a left kidney from a deceased donor in Idaho in December 2024. The procedure went perfectly, and the patient made a full recovery, but just over five weeks later, he started experiencing worrying symptoms. The unnamed kidney recipient first started experiencing tremors, leg weakness, confusion, and urinary incontinence, but things only got worse. Within days, he was hospitalized with fever, difficulty swallowing, signs of hydrophobia, and autonomic nervous system dysfunction. He soon had to be mechanically ventilated because he couldn’t breathe by himself, and died a week into his hospitalization.----- Having visited Zion National Park recently, I can attest to crowd sizes and shuttle bus congestion. This might be a good way to address those things. Former NPS Superintendent Responds To Controversial Entry Rule At Arches And Zion National Parks: "The Time Has Come"
America's national parks are becoming increasingly popular, with over 330 million visits recorded in 2024 alone. As more travelers head outdoors, the National Park Service (NPS) has been experimenting with different entry and reservation systems to manage growing crowds. That's what federal and state officials discussed recently during a meeting hosted by Utah's Public Lands Coordinating Council. At this meeting, officials revisited the idea of implementing timed entry systems at Zion and Arches National Parks to manage congestion during peak travel seasons. While state leaders have expressed hesitation about expanding timed entry—particularly at Zion—a former NPS superintendent argues that some form of reservation system is becoming unavoidable as park crowds continue to surge.----- She's handling this better than I think I would have

Annual reminder that Home Alone is a Christian movie. Watch this scene very carefully, where Kevin is drawn to the beauty and warmth of the church. As he walks inside to "O Holy Night", he hears the words "Fall on your knees, Oh hear the angel voices!" A sanctuary candle passes across the foreground, indicating that Christ is present inside the church. Kevin then has an encounter with a Christ figure: Old Man Marley. Kevin makes a confession to him, then shakes his hand and we see a bandage on Marley's hand. It's never explained why his hand is wounded, but earlier in the movie we saw that his hand was actually pierced ALL THE WAY THROUGH — like the nails driven through Christ's hands on the cross. At the end of the movie, Kevin cannot save himself from the burglars, and so Marley appears again to rescue him. Home Alone is a Christian movie.----- This guy agrees

Read on X that the woman who abused the Target employee has been fired. This is despite the employees statement. Too much heat on the company.

My cousin and I used to convince passersby that my head had been caught in this fence. When they ran off to get help, we disappeared. When they came back with the cops we were gone. Eventually the cops stopped coming. It was not my idea.

Sorry for not posting today's launches. I spent the whole morning in the ER. I've been terribly ill for four days and haven't been able to eat or drink without my stomch making stabby-stabby feelings.
Rest assured, I will be fine after my new meds. The stomach bug I had last month caused me to end up with colitis. I still can't eat solid food without getting ill, so I will be getting some nutritional shakes.
Yesterday, we had to let our old boy Oscar go. It has not been a good year.

His followers had stamps made of purple feet and these little purple feet were all over Manhattan, all leading toward the garden site. Maybe millions of them. I walked across town alot in those days and the footprints were everywhere until they wore out. Purple and his wife Eve rode tricyles with a trailer to Central Park to collect horse droppings for the garden on the bridle trail.

Pre getting married, my Dad worked in Yosemite for the Power companies... ran a lot of the Power lines into and all over the park... and as an outdoor guy who grew up in the area anyway (Modesto) he knew the park reallllly well.
So yeah, once in the Park I know where to go to get away from the crowds... you just don't want to do a lot of those hikes alone for safety reasons.

The guy would have got away if they had explained which was "the right" door out of the hallway. They were supposed to take the left door into the stairwell but took the right one into the hall because the judge stressed that they had to take the "right door". The correct door was the left. I language problem, as it were.

"Have you watched many Christmas movies yet?"
On Tuesday, we went to the theater for a big-screen showing of Scrooged. Our group of five had the theater to ourselves, alas. Would have been more fun with more people. Only problem was, the audio was poor. After the movie, we mentioned this, and an employee told us that theater had a blown speaker and he would turn up the volume for the later showing. Did not offer us a refund or free popcorn.
It was okay. Had most of the dialogue memorized. Surprised that, even after mostly annual viewings, there were parts that were still moving.
First saw Scrooged in its first run in a crowded Chicago theater. Appreciative audience.
You remember that news guy infamous for shouting "stop the hammering"? Realized Frank Cross (Bill Murray) did it first.

437 So, here's a theory (hard to prove with guy dead, but here goes)...
Guy felt wronged in some way that he was not the Physics Wunderkind that the MIT guy became - aka, that guy stole his life.
So, 1st, he goes to Brown to get revenge on the school that forced him off the path = grades, whatever - and picks the classroom where it all went wrong
Then he drives up to MIT and actually murders the guy he thinks stole his life.
Very narcisstic and almost delusional, but would fit a motive to both shootings.
And the big promotion and adulation MIT guy recently got set it all in motion...maybe as early as when MIT guy was in the running...

You only need reservations if you're using the campsites, otherwise you just pay the entrance fee. And Vets can get a pass that waives the entrance fee entirely.
Sure the campsites are busy because it's a crowded park, but if you live near enough just go for the day and head home.

......
Yes. And some sort of anger at, I assume, being kicked out of the Brown program he did not finish.
I read (briefly) that the MIT professor got some sort of promotion and maybe that set him off. Since they went to the Portugal univeristy together and came to the USA for grad school on student visas in 2000. By 2001 this jerk was no longer at Brown, reasons tonight unknown.
Obviously an unhinged, narcissistic sociopath with a long grudge.
What got me was how the entire state and Brown University are in denial that "they" caught him. When RING and rental car video did, thanks to the homeless guy. The President is nervous, as she should be, for the lack of cameras in that building.

Same academic program in Portugal with those dates. Came to grad school in the USA under student visas in 2000. The shooter dropped out of Brown in 2001 (or was kicked out). Moved to Miami.Applied for and got a Green card in Sept 2017.
Came back to Boston in October of this year. Rented a car in Boston and changed plates often. Got into the physics building at Brown, that staff have complained about randos doing without ID, and had an altercation with the witness (the homeless guy?) in the bathroom. He later followed him to his car and got the car ID.
After the Brown shooting he returned to Boston and killed his fellow Portugal classmate in his home. Had rented the storage unit for months in NH.
The RI police/FBI did not have his name til last night. He was dead when they got to the storage unit...it took time to ID his finances last night as he was smart enough to have a certain possible European Sim card that they could not track easily.

Not to be dismissive of Ella but there was another person shot and killed at Brown. A young man who was a brain cancer survivor. Why him? Maybe she was just another innocent victim.
The killer and the MIT professor must have known each other for years. There is nothing to suggest the killer and Ella knew each other.

Overstayed and then eventually got permanent residency in 2017. Or that's the current story.
I imagine his life after Brown was a lot of minimum wage under-the-table jobs in Florida, with no marriage and lots of drudgery...and then he finds out his friend is up for a huge job promotion...and the plotting starts...

Outstanding choices! Especially the Rush albums, of course.
Some suggested additions for you --
Dire Straits debut album
Triumph - Allied Forces
Judas Priest - British Steel
If you can only pick one - go with Dire Straits.

Skip ahead to 1:17 for the actual song, if you don't care about the skit making fun of Japanese "idol bands" and their fans.
They had one album and one EP, so they were short-lived in the studio. But they've done a few reunion concerts, so they've been active on and off for 13 years.
2025 concert, which opens with the same song:

If Ella was shot ten times in the head something doesn't add up with the killer being jealous of the professor being killed.
I think we'll never know the truth.

IF she was shot 10 times I don't know why. That is, so far, rumor. Don't know, but horrific to think about for her parents.
Also it is still unknown what he was in Miami, if he had a family.If he was a homo, commie,etc. If he hated Jews, etc. More to come as FL is now involved.FL won't lie.
Regarding the Charlie Kirk murder, unless rhennigantx is listening to Candace Owens, it was plain from the first day why the killer killed him. Due to Kirk's feelings about gays and trannies...and, now, as we know: furries. Buck Tooth Trannie wants to be a martyr for their cause. Kirk was killed for his freedom of speech.
It was known for weeks or more about his schedule and this ugly faggot planned it out.
He thought he was brilliant and could get away with it. Turns out his own parents recognized his ugly face and confronted him and he confessed to them and local LE. He was caught in 33hrs if memory serves, vs this mess in RI and fuzzy RING camera footage.

He only had an overstayed student visa...if you aren't legal, what can you be working? And he had no US degree - it was all international, at a time whe Physics degrees (post Clinton admin) were already kinda worthless.
I'm betting he did live a life he considered much beneath his academic pedigree...and thus the snapping seeing a happy, well-adjusted and married guy was effectively him and had everything he should have had...

Led Zep was originally called The New Yardbirds.
Posted by: Doof
One Yardbird, Page, moved on to Led Zep.
Two others left and started another band. They couldn't find a comparable lead guitarist after playing with Page, Beck, and Clapton..... go figure.
So they changed their lineup a few times, and wound up with: vocalist (female), electric bass (playing lead), acoustic guitar (playing rhythm), keyboards, drums. And often a full orchestra.
Renaissance!

I can see a critcal look at this mess at Brown and MIT, but I have followed the Kirk murder and local news since it happened. It was not a conspiracy and his own wife says the same.
I listened to the RI press conference and part of the MA one. Once the President of Brown said he was on a student visa from Portugal it clicked. Until then it was all over the place on wth happened.
The furry had been a hunter since he was a child. He took his grandfather's old rifle as he figured forensics could not trace it to him. He wanted his furry lover to be impressed, along with the furry friends. A gamer. Full scholarship to college (Utah State) and dropped out after one semester.
Ususally when this happens it is because they can't fit in or have issues living away from him (gamer). He thought he was the most brilliant person in the room type of nerd. Planned it out. Unfortunately his face was identified and his parents saw him and confronted him that night.
Kirk's talk of gheys triggered him and his furry friends. It is as simple as that. He thinks he will get off. I doubt it.

The Brown University shooter, Claudio Manuel Neves Valente entered the United States through the diversity lottery immigrant visa program (DV1) in 2017 and was granted a green card. This heinous individual should never have been allowed in our country.
In 2017, President Trump fought to end this program, following the devastating NYC truck ramming by an ISIS terrorist, who entered under the DV1 program, and murdered eight people.
At President Trump’s direction, I am immediately directing USCIS to pause the DV1 program to ensure no more Americans are harmed by this disastrous program

Think of how many are here, originally on student visas, then green cards (as this jerk was from 2017). His student visa lasted a whopping year then he left.
We'll know more from FL as to his "religion" and state of mind. It sounds like he hated that he failed to achieve what the MIT professor friend from Portugal did. The question also remains as to why he left Brown in 2001.

How brave of them. Like Parkland in FL where they were too scared to enter the building. And Boss Hogg was riding his bike to the scene! GAH
There is nothing on earth that scares me like school shootings. Since Columbine when my sons were in HS. I pray daily for our grands' wall of protection and good health.
This Portuguese bastard fired 40 rounds in that classroom. Which, according to the press asking the liberal President of Brown, was not only without cameras but had no security at the doors entering the building and staff complained. Most doors you need an ID badge. Any random person could walk in and did. It was a physics building and he was familiar with it from 2000-2001.
It took her, however, to put the pieces together. Until then people had no idea of the connection with this Miami guy and Brown. She had a nervous tic throughout the conference. The RI governor kept interrupting to say stuff.
Now I wait for real information from Florida. Where he worked. Ghey or married? Religion. Politics. He was here still on a green card since 2017.

Sorry about the mess. It’s really bad here. I’m ok. But so many people got smushed. We expect the normal spots to flood. But this was pretty epic. We lost mountain passes and roadways and entire communities are under water.
It’s bad.

I can relate a story that may shed light on the source of the cookie problem.
My uncle decided that he was going to make donut drops - donut batter deep fried but without the toroidal shape.
They came out with the symptom you describe: hard as rocks.
Turns out that he followed the recipe, except for one detail - he didn't realize that there is a difference between baking powder and baking soda.
Inexperienced bakers in both instances.😋

My sister and hubby's son are both in your area, though not Seattle Proper. They are ok and have no damage at their homes. *Whew*
Just driving through a few streets in town, I've seen dozens of downed trees (mostly evergreens), large broken branches and damaged homes.
Yeah, I can "chip away" at Dad's tree for a while, hope to get a break on the price if I can remove enough on my own. May be months before tree service can get to it.

You gotta know your limitations, true.
Start with the branches and then move down from the top.
In 2020 we had a bunch of trees that came down with the root-ball ripped up out of the earth, and my wife had me cut them at the trunk-end first because she wanted to watch the stump stand back up on its own.
Wildly dangerous, true, but she enjoyed the spectacle.

This past fall, Brown's new policy began admitting foreign students on what they called "Need‑Blind Admissions." It means that a student's ability to pay isn't considered in deciding whether they're admitted. Their costs will be covered 100%, and they will have money put into an account for spending.

He was reportedly only at Brown 2000-2001, which isn't long enough to get a master's. That typically takes two years, and students are typically admitted to doctoral programs with just their bachelor's. They (again, typically) do their graduate studies at the institution they plan to do their research at, which is why master's degrees are sometimes called (unfairly IMO) a "consolation prize" for "failed" doctoral students.

I usually agree, but my lady cat rocks the collar and tie bit I have. And that doesn't bother her a lot.
Pet strollers for cats actually make some sense as the cat can't slip a leash and flee and hide if something scares it. It isn't like most cat walks exercise the cat physically much since they sniff every bush as they go.

Interstellar interloper 3I/ATLAS makes its closest approach to Erf this morning at about 06:00Z, or 1AM EST. Andrew McCarthy shot it with his equipment here:

He has a tracking video there. Note this isn't too spectacular, as he doesn't have a big enough telescope to get real high resolution.

Unfortunately that is the majority of dogs in shelters. I know a guy, though, if you are serious about a rescue. He normally rescues Shibas from breeder auctions, puppy mills, etc. but he has also saved basset hounds, and blood hounds, beagles. You will have to speak with him, pass his background checks etc. If you don’t have experience with Shibas, he probably won’t place one with you - they are difficult dogs and truly not for everyone.

That is insane. I don’t have an issue with people buying a pure bred anything- if you want to know what you are getting and there are certain traits you desire, a pure breed is how you get there. But I am adamantly opposed to puppy mills and back yard breeders. If you want a specific dog, make sure you are getting the best version, even pet quality, from an ethical breeder. You will pay more, you will have to wait because ethical breeders have waitlists and litters are sold before the breeding. But the dogs will be health tested, the parents will have proven themselves, and you will be getting from someone who truly is invested in protecting their breed.

While students screamed and victims lay shot, Providence cops stood outside deciding where to park.
Their radio chatter sounds like a bad improv skit.
One officer talked about needing a day off. Another didn’t even know what building they were at.
Meanwhile, no one had info on the shooter, and no one was rushing in.
The suspect eventually slipped away. 10 were shot. 2 died.
Brown University and the police failed, and now families are furious. And rightfully so!
It wasn’t just chaos. It was incompetence with a badge, and the price was paid in blood.

Posted by: Piper
When I got my first siamese, the lady i bought him from had three queens that had dropped litters. She brought them in a laundry basket while I sat on her couch. She began putting them in my lap by the hands full. They all took shameless advantage of the momentary freedom and zommied off. Except one. He rolled on his back, presented tummy, and meowed at me for some scritches. Brought him home. Sweet sweet little cat. Never had another one as sweet as him. Aboit ten years later our other cat died and he was mourning badly somwe got another kitten. Siamese again. I sat on the floor of an open outdoor play space whike the six kittens zoomied around. The papa cat came over and sat with me, then the momma did too. One by each the babies came by and one chose me. We took him home.
I miss them both even twenty years later.

Rhode Island shooter; “we don’t know who he is, we don’t know who he is.”
Suddenly “oh yeah we know who he is, he daid.”
As far as I've seen, those were different people saying those things.
Brown and the DEI local police don't know who he is and apparently tried very hard not to find out.
The Feds said they did know who he is by interviewing witnesses (shocker!) and they tracked him down.

MegaRoy was adopted from a service. He was bigger than the others, so people didn't want him. He's a good boy.
Splotchy chowed up one day eat___ the chipmonks and squirrels i had been shooting off the bird feeder with the pellet gun. All scrawny and starved. He broke into the crawl space and started living on the hvac for warmth. We fed him real food regular like and a year later he let Smash pet him. Two weeks after that he moved in. Maybe 10 or 11 when he chose us. Nice good kitty. All he wanted was regular chow, a warm place to sleep, and a cuddle with scritches. He had a vey nice rest of his life.
If i get lonely enough, i'll get another senior kitty to love that has been abandoned by his family. I just cannot guarantee a kitten a full life of his due to my own age now.

More congratulations of ABC units including NCIS (for reasons unknown except the season just ended).
Who is the nervous guy in nerd glasses? Looks like his head was run over, possibly by the Brown shooter.
Now the mayor is bragging. I do hope SOMEONE who was in the classroom said the guy was Hispanic looking.

I want to figure out who the nerd glasses guy is.
So, to be clear, they had blurry video yesterday and no idea who they were after. A homeless guy figured it out (the homeless guy was the hoody guy, I think).
They had NOTHING. Today they are proud. They should be embarrassed that they had no real film of the building. Good thing I am not a parent with kids there.
No mention of WHY this guy was there to shoot Ella in THAT classroom.
What happened to MIT professor? No connection now?
Oooh, distractions and critism not helpful. Yada.
Good policework prevailed. Right. No clue you had til a homeless guy.
I have my doubts until it is explained what a Portuguese guy from Miami was doing in this classroom. Please explain.
Oh, lawsie. The liberal president now congratulating, bringing safety, bringing closure and relief. Oooh, Mustafa was picked on. Yada. Liberal swishing.
Yes, we would like to know something. Ah...enrolled from 2000 to PhD program in physics. Finally a connection. Withdrew 2023. Only in physics classes in the rotting building without cameras.
For reasons unknown he unloaded 40 rounds on this classroom and poor Ella.

Interaction in a bathroom with the homeless guy.He followed him out of the bathroom (I guess the homeless guy was a student?). He believed he did not belong there.
He said nothing OR made a barking noise in the class.
The media is giving them some fits. Great questions! they cannot answer. Thrown at US Attorney for press conference at 10pm.
He is ahead of his skis he said and breadcrumbs developing. Regal governor butting in a lot.
His storage area. Rented car in Boston. Inside the storage unit. blah. There is a connection to MIT professor. FLew into Providence in October or they don't know. Governor keeps taking over.
Unless he had on 3 jackets, the one photo does not look as fat, but whatever. I reckon so.

Brown President starting to have a nervous tic as Governor interrupts again.
Here on a student visa and applied for a green card since 2017.
Over stayed student visa (by 20yrs??) but no one is admitting it. Last class 2001.

1) Over stayed student visa from 2000. Last class 2001 at Brown.
2) From Miami. Changed plates on car frequently
3) I am confused about car, as they claim he rented in in Boston. Maybe when he came in October as he is in a short sleeve green polo shirt.
4) He and MIT physics professor went to the same university in Portugal. MIT professor obviously finished school unlike this guy.
5) Over stayed visa by over 20yrs. Applied for green card in 2017 and received "permanent resident status" in September 2017
6) Not staying why he left school in 2001 but "they will find out"
7) I think a random guy, not a student, the homeless guy? had a dispute with him in a restroom. He knew he did not belong in the building with no cameras (which the President defends).
They admit that RING and car rental videos alone helped identify the shooter
9) The green card guy got a weapon. I guess legally? Non comprende.
10) Governor spends a lot of time butting in. Name not known til yesterday and track the car. They decided not to give his name out today.
Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at December 18, 2025 10:40 PM (WONhk)
Guy felt wronged in some way that he was not the Physics Wunderkind that the MIT guy became - aka, that guy stole his life.
So, 1st, he goes to Brown to get revenge on the school that forced him off the path = grades, whatever - and picks the classroom where it all went wrong
Then he drives up to MIT and actually murders the guy he thinks stole his life.
Very narcisstic and almost delusional, but would fit a motive to both shootings.
And the big promotion and adulation MIT guy recently got set it all in motion...maybe as early as when MIT guy was in the running...

Shots were fired at a Christmas event in Chicama, a town in northern Peru, local media reported. Many families and children were present at the public celebration when the incident happened.
Police said the shooting started suddenly. People ran to protect themselves as officers rushed to the spot to bring the situation under control.
Early reports say a local councilwoman may have been the target, but officials have not confirmed this. Several children were reported injured.

I have three nephews that are all leftist retards, and six "grand-nieces" that will probably be raised as Karens. But indeed, for leftists, they tend to follow the tribe.
I do have a little hope that the four nieces of the "Christian Home Schooled" nephew will perhaps be influenced enough by their fellow home schoolers to have a chance at not being sold out to the leftist cult, but since they are all female, the odds are reduced.

DOJ Eyes Civil Rights Action Against Biden Officials Who Weaponized Government Power to Punish Political Enemies
Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon told Just the News on Wednesday that federal and local officials involved in the prosecutions of President Donald Trump may face legal action if the Department of Justice identifies a conspiracy to deprive him or his followers of his civil rights. "The Department of Justice is at the heart of considering these issues right now, so I can't really talk about the specifics, but in general terms, yes," she said on the Just the News, No Noise television show. "The Civil Rights Division and the DOJ generally do have the tool of a criminal conspiracy statute for conspiracy against rights, and this dates back to the start of the Ku Klux Klan, and when the Klan and its predecessors used to go after people, and they could involve, sometimes local law enforcement to do that," she said. "And so we have the ability, if we can prove a conspiracy to violate someone's civil rights, that that could be a criminal matter." ... "That also goes for lawyers who leak and betray confidence as a breach of privilege, and for people who violate their oath as attorneys, they could also face bar sanctions if there's a bar referral after an investigation like that," Dhillon explained. "So, I would say all of those things are on the table for lawyers and DOJ officials and others who conspired with them at the state level, state prosecutors, state police and so forth, who conspired to violate civil rights. And it could also include executive branch officials from the first administration who knowingly conspired and orchestrated a violation of federal civil rights."
The four Republicans who signed on Wednesday morning and pushed it to 218 were Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick, R-Pa., Mike Lawler, R-N.Y., Rob Bresnahan, R-Pa., and Ryan Mackenzie, R-Pa. All four of them represent competitive districts that could make or break the GOP's narrow House majority. Democrats have been slamming each of them as complicit in the impending lapse of the funding, which first passed in 2021 under President Joe Biden in a bid to cap premiums for "benchmark" plans at 8.5% of income. ... "House leadership then decided to reject every single one of these amendments," Fitzpatrick said. "As I've stated many times before, the only policy that is worse than a clean three-year extension without any reforms, is a policy of complete expiration without any bridge. Unfortunately, it is House leadership themselves that have forced this outcome."It's possible this was Failure Theater from Johnson. Update: I assume this is the car rented by the shooter, found abandoned in New Hampshire.
🚨 BREAKING: Authorities just located an ABANDONED VEHICLE in New Hampshire that is "of interest" to the Brown University mass shooting investigation.

>>While Davis does not hold a government position, court documents confirm that a federal judge last month ordered a grand jury to be empaneled in Fort Pierce, Florida, beginning in January at the request of the Trump administration.
>>In an interview on "The Charlie Kirk Show," Davis said his "buddy" Jason Quiñones -- the United States Attorney for the Southern District of Florida -- moved to empanel the grand jury after Davis "pushed very hard" to investigate what he says is a conspiracy against Trump.

Kamala! Harris spoke about this definitively to Kimmel recently:
“To give you an answer that will not satisfy your curiosity, I will tell you, we, perhaps to our damage, but we strongly and rightly believed that there should be an absolute separation between what we wanted as an administration and what the Department of Justice did. We absolutely adhered to that and it was right to do that.
The Justice Department would make its decisions independent of any political or personal vendetta or or concern that we may have and that’s the way it worked."

The manhunt is ramping up
"They have not found; but they are on the track."
"Yes, that the usual phrase; I am quite familiar with it. When the police is at fault, it declares that it is on the track; and the government patiently awaits the day when it comes to say, with a sneaking air, that the track is lost."

Doesn’t matter if the shooter isn’t Mustapha. The reason why Brown deleted their promotion of Mustapha is because he is evidence the university is in violation of their settlement with the Trump admin.
The fact that @BrownUniversity spent more time covering up for a Muslim foreign born student employee than time they spent actually looking for the shooter shows that Brown is more focused on keeping their federal funding than getting justice for victims who were murdered on their liberal campus

President Trump issued an executive order Thursday declaring Christmas Eve and Dec. 26 as federal holidays this year.
The order will result in federal agencies being closed and employees excused from duty, next Wednesday through Friday, as Christmas Day is already a federal holiday. Trump noted, though, that agency heads “may determine that certain offices and installations of their organizations, or parts thereof, must remain open and that certain employees must report for duty” on Dec. 24 or 26.

Is it true?
That LA fired about 1,300 from the police force and rolled Homicide into Robbery-Homicide.
So it is Robbery-Homicide that is investigating the Reiner murders.

It didn't happen in Texas. And if the feds try to take over the case to put the death penalty on the table for real, any future Democrat president would commute that sentence.

There was a restaurant named "Carrie Nation" here in the 70s and 80s we'd eat at occasionally.
Brunswick stew was the only thing I'd eat when we ate there.
It's like shredded beef in a slightly BBQ tasting soup.
I loved that stuff, and that's the only place I knew that served it.

Do a quick search of make/model cars that come equipped with factory front cameras. Its generally for their ADAS/360-view packages and with the built in OTA firmware update capabilities, if the manufactures can sell the data, you can bet that it is no problem that any car with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems can double as a mounted ALPR system.

GM got busted a few years back for selling information gleaned from their driving app (kept up with your speeds, hard braking, etc.) to insurance companies.
It was found out when people's insurance rates sudden;y shot up a few months after they turned on the app.
I turned it off on my Chevy immediately, but I'd been using it for months before that story came out.

I thought the idea of this stew was to toss whatever the hunters managed to bag into the pot, and keep adding vegs at intervals to make it an infinite stew pot. The meat used to be game meat...so unless someone shot Bessie, no beef.

Its logical and though black-pill leaning is mathematically sound position to take:
Happiness = Reality ÷ Expectations
Such where your happiness is multiplied by having low expectations. Of course, zero expectations is true black pilling and creates the divide by zero effect on life.
So Trump and Harmeet should go through the motions and we should at least have a > 0 Expectation denominator.
