Daily Tech News 4 April 2026
Top Story
- Half of planned US datacenter builds have been delayed or canceled. (Tom's Hardware)
Unfortunately this does not represent a collapse in the AI industry - not yet, anyway - but a shortage in key electrical distribution components thanks to the ongoing trade war with China, something that will be resolved relatively quickly as other countries gleefully pick China's bones clean. Metaphorically.
Tech News
- High-end OLED gaming monitors from Asus are arriving broken thanks to shoddy environmentally friendly packaging. (Tom's Hardware)
You'll own nothing, and what you do own will arrive broken.
- Arm will power 90% of AI servers based on Arm processors in 2029, says Arm. (Tom's Hardware)
They say "custom processors", but they mean Arm.
- Microsoft is telling business and retail customers alike not to rely on its Copilot AI products for anything that matters. (Tom's Hardware)
But they still want you to keep handing them your money.
- First time as farce, second time also as farce: Don't go looking for Claude Code on GitHub. Not now. You'll just find yourself downloading malware. (Bleeping Computer)
The authentic copies have been taken down by Anthropic leaving only an army of leprous zombie clone corpses.
- But security researchers already got a chance to look at the code and see what Anthropic knows about you from the files you feed to Claude Code. (The Register)
And the answer is, everything.
- PC makers have figured out how to keep making money with the price of key components headed into cislunar orbit: Stop marketing to the filthy poors. (WCCFTech)
If you have computer, treat it like the one remaining intact moa egg. Not like other formerly remaining intact moa egg, which someone took out of its case and dropped.*
* Google and Grok both say no such event happened. I am feeling gaslit right now
- For the rest of us, Google is shipping a $3 USB drive containing a bootable image of ChromeOS that will breathe new life into superannuated Windows hardware. (Liliputing)
Or you could just install any other flavour of Linux. But ChromeOS is good for non-technical users.
- The project at work that has been consuming all my waking hours for the past two months is done, just in time for the Easter long weekend here. I am sleep.

Everyone's favourite anticommunist angel is back. The Saga of Tanya the Misunderstood returns this July, after 97 long years away.

Astronautette Christina sure is worried about that space toilet. She called down to Mission Control to make sure they still had a go on the terlet.
Mission control assured her she had a "blanket go" on the crapper until they said otherwise.

As an example of this new free range stud future, the NYTimes noted that Pete Buttigieg, a straight white male icon, has grown a manly beard, now wears manly flannel shirts, and splits wood with a manly maul exactly, I am assuming, like he splits ass with his personal manly maul.
Interesting.
Using that reasoning, that would make Gavin Nusince a straight white trans woman. More or less. Mostly more and less.

Strangest wreck I had was sliding off I-95 in an ice storm in Maine. Middle of January and some weird combination came together and we got pouring rain and then freezing temperatures in a few minutes. Slid off the highway and took out a couple small trees by the side of the road. Totaled. A few months later the state sent me a bill for the trees.

Had something similar happen in a rental car on a country road in Virginia. A deer jumped out right in front of me and I braked, swerved, somehow managed to avoid hitting it. I came to a stop on the side of the road and hyperventilated for several minutes until I was ready to drive again. Started pulling back onto the road and WHAM another deer slammed into the right side of the car.
Did serious damage to the car, though it still drove. The deer was still alive but not moving much. A nearby farmer put it out of its misery while we waited for the state police to arrive.

That's up to your insurance company.
Posted by: Archimedes
Feb, 1978, dark night, two-lane Texas road, horses dash across, the car catches one. I was a sleeping passenger and bounced my face off the dash. (No shoulder belts.) The post between the windshield and the vent window was folded all the way down. The horse had caught on that post and was beheaded. Did not come crashing in and kick us to death. Driver had a small scratch on his arm. Glass and blood everywhere, some of it mine. Doc in Paris hospital stitched my face back together. Mostly.
I thought the car should have been totaled, but the insurance company insisted it was reparable. I guess they were right, because after repair that thing kept rolling for years afterward.
International Harvester Traveler tough. Saved my life.
So, since it wasn't totaled, does it count as wrecked?

At the moment, the exchange rate is an eye-watering 160+ yen/dollar. Makes things a whole lot more comfortable, cost-wise. Because Japan has been an "expensive" country since the 80s, one of the most.
Travel to Japan a lot, one time the exchange rate was an abysmal 77 yen/dollar. I needed to get enough local to buy the bus ticket into town. The woman at the exchange kiosk looked pained, and *apologized* for the numbers when I did the exchange. The most Japanese thing imaginable.
I laughed and said "oh don't apologize it's our fault!".
Oh - and you can avoid all uncooked fish if you like, food in Japan is very good. Both Japanese, and "foreign" (European standards for Euro stuff).

I never found another that was worth going through that shit for. Because of her I'm a double anomaly, garage full of harleys..no tats. Metal guitar player...no tats. I'm a no tat mofo.

144 A whitetail doe leapt from the foliage to my right and SHE hit my truck in the side.
Had something similar happen in a rental car on a country road in Virginia. A deer jumped out right in front of me and I braked, swerved, somehow managed to avoid hitting it. I came to a stop on the side of the road and hyperventilated for several minutes until I was ready to drive again. Started pulling back onto the road and WHAM another deer slammed into the right side of the car.
Did serious damage to the car, though it still drove. The deer was still alive but not moving much. A nearby farmer put it out of its misery while we waited for the state police to arrive.

My wife was driving in redwood country (I was in the passenger seat) and hit a female deer. Several
cars were coming uphill in the opposite direction and the deer leapt out from behind the last one. A couple of local guys were in a truck behind us, and one of them cut the deer's throat with a folding knife to finish it. I guess they ate it. Minimal damage, some displaced plastic moulding that rubbed on a front wheel, so I pulled out the plastic and threw it away. Kept driving.

The Virginia state police officer asked if I wanted to keep the deer. Since I had flown out I asked the farmer and his wife if they wanted it. The cop had the forms and I signed it over to him.
This would have been around 1998 or so. No idea if they still do it that way.

My score: 90.
I can do all the stuff in the other test except give up. Altho I came close a few weeks ago from a baby cold. She only weighs 18lbs so you'd think I could handle it. She was fine.
Maybe Japan AND Alberta and Greenland can become states? I love what that lady said about British breakfasts. So cool to bond over steaks.
The UK is a memory in the past as the go full eeslam with King Flappy Ears Wants to be a Tampax in Camilla. I had no idea he was such a weenie to eeslam. Not that I give two hoots about the royal family except the Princess of Wales' clothing and their kids. I guess William, if he's Christian.
Things are better today for me as son & DIL seem to be doing surprisingly well with her miscarriage. Therefore I am doing well today and thankful for prayers from strangers and the care and kindness of friends and family in FL.
My granddaughter (who is insane and barely 5yrs) called me from the Atlanta airport. Had no idea where she was but she likes to talk to me on the phone. About nothing. Which is basically this post.

Nothing, as I've said, wrong with that. But when aliens attack and society crashes and normal life is way disrupted and you can't get mascara any more, don't be surprised when your significant other looks at you and says "You know, you haven't worn mascara for some time now, and you know what? You're beautiful."

I got a 2nd degree burn on the tip of my nose from a wooden spoon. Smelling roux to see if it burned. Making gumbo for Super Bowl Sunday when the boys were small and witnessed this. Mama put her not very large nose in a glass of cold water and paged their father who was at Blockbuster renting a video.
The urgent care doc, who knew me, asked if I was freebasing cocaine like Richard Prior.
Silvadene to nose for a week. No scar. Which led to a lot of questions at work (newborn nursery/Destin questions). And explaining roux. I almost got a placard to wear I got so tired of explaining.

============
Crucifixion Friday: When I was pretty young, and became aware of anti-Jewish people, especially the 'Jews killed Jesus' folks, I thought it was really strange. Obviously, Jesus was a Jew and taught, primarily, as a Jew. He wept for Jerusalem! The apostles were Jews. Yes, creepy Jews conspired for his death, but that was the Deep State of the day. I never had any reason to think of it otherwise.

An example. On the first flight of space shuttle Discovery in 1984, they had some malfunction with the waste water dumping system. The discharge port developed a 2' long pee-cicle of frozen urine sticking off out, which threatened the operation of the payload bay doors. They had to break it off and rotate the attitude to try to get enough sunlight on it to increase sublimation.

There was one young punk at the old job-- had a tat of 5 kanji characters & claimed that it "spelled [his] name" (5-letter first name) and I LOL'd at him. He *insisted* that it was his name. Pointed to each one in turn, as he spoke the letters.
Well, I can't read kanji, but I'm damned certain those characters DID NOT have anything at all to do with.. his first name.
"That's not how it works" I tried to tell him. Nope. He wasn't having any of it. Oh, well. Wonder what it *really* said? Bet it's hilarious!

There's an old site called "hanzismatter" that tried to "decode" various poor uses of kanji/hanzi/etc.
It got to the point where half of the posts were about that sort of tattoo. The guys that ran the site found the "translation" tattoo manual somewhere.
They're not all complete kanji (D and T, at minimum, are not), some tattoo artists got a mirror___ copy of the "translation," and, as you said, none of them are pronounced the way English letters are.
https://is.gd/zJHTjT
.....is the hanzismatter blogspot.com post about it, from 2006.
The best post on the site is probably the "translations" of some Royal Caribbean menu items.
"Chicken and mushroom tarts," in Chinese as "timid and rapidly-grown prostitutes." There are definitions of "chicken," "mushroom," and "tart" that mean those things, but.....
The comments say that the German, etc translations were just as bad.

Good Friday Cafe
Sometimes you just want to lay down with a couple hundred chicks. Someone cross-bred sheep with bunnies. Well not really but they have big bunny ears. Video of the bunny sheep. Sheep rollin' down the street. Dog protects a lost lamb. Big bunny. This is probably totally fake, but, whatever. This one is admitted AI. But it's cute, and the guy admitted it was AI instead of trying to trick people, so I'll post it. Bunny moves in for a kiss. Cute: An owl was brooding over lifeless eggs so some humans pulled a switcheroo, replacing the dead eggs with live orphaned chicks. The owl is very happy. Baby bunny shoplifts at Home Depot. A sheepdog nips at a mother sheep when she tries to reject her lamb. How do dogs know to do this? Driver stops his car to allow a mother sheep to finish feeding her lambs. A senior dog used as a breeder all its life is rescued and is given its first toy.
The flock dynamics of sheep being guided through a gate with the assistance of sheep dogs.

Okay, it happens sometimes - we have a lot of big old trees in our neighborhood. I hate that some of them get razed, but sometimes there are good reasons for it.
THIS dingbat, though, was so upset by the loss of this tree that THEY TOOK TO THEIR BED AND CRIED ABOUT IT ALL MORNING.
Nobody called this delicate flower out for being a waste of space, either. Or told them to pull up their big girl panties and deal with it.

Looks like Artemis is around the half-way point to the mean lunar distance, about 123,000 miles from earth, and it's moving just under 1 mile per second, 3300 mph.
Current distance to the Moon to Artemis is 145,000 miles. They are aiming of course for where the Moon will be when they get to that orbital distance.

I had a big old classic oak tree on my street, actually in my next door neighbor's yard that had a branch fall on a power line. The city put the tree on trial to access the damage it caused to their infrastructure and ruled it was sentenced to death. The city came out and nailed a notice on it that detailed the whole thing to everyone. Then they came out, cut it down then ground the stump. It was a nice looking tree and one of the main shades on our house. They replaced it with a two foot tall twig that I'm sure will look great in a hundred years.

My first time drinking anything was Amaretto out of a parent's liquor cabinet.
It tasted so much like Dr. Pepper, I loved it.
My friends and I later discovered a convenience store out in the boonies that didn't card you if you looked old enough.
So the tallest guy in the group grew his beard out a few days, put on a baseball cap, coat, and fake eyeglasses, and we were set.
At that point we hit the big-time with some PBR, Schaefer, M/D 2020 and Wild Irish Rose.

Our neighborhood was built up in the mid-to-late 50s. There were many trees from that time that attained great height and breadth throughout the yards here.
In the past ten year, many of them have succumbed to old age or disease and now are seen here no more.
In our yard alone, two spruce, one pine, two sweet gum, four white ash, and three oaks have been removed over the course of twenty-five years. All were large trees and many of them were aged fifty years or more.
We're in need of some serious (i.e., up to six specimens) replanting.

There was a beautifully formed maple tree one block over from us. Well formed crown, nearly perfectly symmetrical and just lovely to look at in the fall when its foliage changed.
Now gone, and we are the poorer for that.

We're having a fair amount of wind... gusts into the 40's which where I'm at, in a mobile home, is getting sketchy. Some roof shingles blew off and I made a half hearted attempt to reattach them, but the wind ripped them off again.
So... I get the ladder out and climb up on the roof with some epoxy and sealer. The wind blew my ladder off the side of the house while I was up on the roof.
I was up there for 2 hours before my wife came home.
Not much to do up there. Views are nice. Need to remember to take my cell phone literally everywhere now.
Oh... the shingles blew off again. FML
Posted by: Martini Farmer at April 03, 2026 08:31 PM (AkEZC)
The tulip poplar's curse is its weak wood. There nearly always were fallen branches to be picked up after high winds, and these were live, not dead.
An arborist strongly recommended that we get rid of the silver maple. Its root system was extensive and the tree itself was right next to the street. I must have extracted its roots from the ground for four years after it was taken down.

Husband says no and I said okay, let it fall on the house. You'll love dealing with the insurance company.

But, we found lots of old nails in the tree that we had pounded in as kids, and some digging unearthed many bits of wood and the hinges and padlock from the fort's front door. We also found and excavated our old fire pit in front of it. Even found some old hotdog packages from the 70s. Plastic just never degrades, man. It was a real trip to revisit our past through old artifacts.

Let me tell ya, do not plant those trees. The house we bought a couple of years ago "came with" 7 of those fuckers.
They do not provide shade, they are not attractive and all they do is make a mess in the yard. Every week we are having to clean up the mess.

We had to have a big pecan taken down; the tree guy said it was the tallest pecan he'd ever seen, until he was up in the cherry picker, looked over the shed, and saw the taller ones. They still produce, in a good year.
Some of the grand old oaks have reached end of life. Lots of gaps in what used to be an almost continuous canopy. Wish I'd been transplanting oaks from the overgrown west pasture long ago; after thirty+ years since MiladyJo and I moved back here, they'd be shady.
There are three majestically tall Ponderosas here. We've tried to grow some from pine cones, but never got them going. Then, this year, we found a couple of volunteers, just a couple of feet tall, which we transplanted last week. If they take, our kids should enjoy them in a few decades. I may not be around to see it, but it's nice to see them now.
Daughter and son-in-law, who are planning to build and move out here, have added a nice bunch of fruit trees, and berry and grape vines. Again, an investment for future years for them to enjoy. I expect to enjoy some of that harvest. Critters and weather permitting

the trees would be pretty on a big piece of property. These are inside of the privacy fence in our backyard and they are such a pain.

There were no traces of it, but yeah there was plenty of that around back in the day. Some older kids with a fort near ours would give us their old stashes when they got new ones.

They have a great little science camp here in north Georgia called Tellus Science Museum. One of the many exhibits is a simulator where you run a command module's electrical system and have to power down systems, use busses to transfer power, use batteries, etc.. based on your orbit in the simulation and sun available. All for kids to try out. Along with a bunch of other little experiments that you can stop at and try. I think it is all sponsored by a foundation and a bunch of GA companies.
But tons of other stuff and dinosaur things and tech stuff and they give lectures all the time. Runs all year.

Silver Maple should be illegal, at least in suburban landscape setting. Grows like a weed, because it is. Bushy and unkempt looking. Has a tendency to drop branches, esp. ice storms.

The Week In Woke
What would we do without DEI Media "Elites"?
In Brazil:
Mom who killed boyfriend and cut off his genitals after catching him raping her daughter is cleared of murderOne cheer for "decarceration." Now for the bad news: Reading the details of the murder -- she killed her own romantic/sexual partner, and somehow she was able to slip a mickey into a drink and drug this guy while he was "raping her daughter" -- makes me think she just killed this guy out of jealousy and contrived the "raping my daughter" story to justify it.
An enraged mom who cut off her boyfriend's testicles and then set fire to his body after catching him trying to rape her daughter has been cleared of his murder. Erica Pereira da Silveria Vicente confessed to killing partner Everton Amaro de Silva in Minas Gerais, Brazil -- saying she was just trying to protect her 11-year-old daughter from being raped, according to Estado de Minas. She was alerted by alarming texts the predator sent the preteen -- then found him on top of her, trying to rape her, when rushing to her screaming daughter, according to the reports. However, prosecutors insisted that the brutality of the murder proved it was carried out "not in blind rage but with cold premeditation." The mom allegedly spiked de Silva's drink with Klonopin, a medication used to treat seizures, and then stabbed and clubbed him while he was unconscious, according to prosecutors.Do rapists often take a drink mid-rape? Does a drugged drink work quickly enough to end a rape mid-rape? I just ran some scientific tests on this story and my beakers and Erlenmeyer Flasks tell me that this story is forty seven moles of bullshit. I don't know what happened here, but I know it's not what this woman is claiming happened.
A teen who heard screams helped the mom carry the body to wasteland in Belo Horizonte -- where Vicente cut off the dead man's genitals and set fire to his body, jurors were told. ... She confessed to the killing -- but insisted it was only to save her daughter. The jury agreed, and the mom was acquitted Tuesday of aggravated homicide and destroying a corpse after just one day of testimony.The Gay Mafia got a black basketball player let go from the Chicago Bulls for stating that Pride Month -- a celebration of gay sex and kink -- was "unrighteous."
Jaden Ivey didn't last long with the Chicago Bulls before he was waived, let go, or whatever polite term is being used these days to fire someone. It came after he posted a video sharing his thoughts on Pride Month and the NBA.He's coming off an injury but it can't be doubted that political pressure was brought to bear here. Video here. In this clip, another basketball player says he doesn't want to "go deep" into a question about his religion because of the Jaden Ivey situation, because "I don't wanna get waived." I'm sure Bobby "The Brain" DeNiro will protest this use of corporate-governmental power to squelch black men's rights. Democrats don't know how to relate to normal healthy people. But they figure that talking about their psychological problems will make them seem relatable.
In it, Ivey spoke openly about his Christian faith and took issue with the league's promotion of Pride Month. He called it unrighteous. He questioned why that message is celebrated so openly while opposing views seem to carry consequences. By the end of the day, the video was everywhere. Not long after that, the Bulls announced they were waiving him for what they described as conduct detrimental to the team. That is the official explanation.
Some potential 2028 Democratic presidential candidates are introducing themselves to voters in a striking way: by documenting their childhood resentments, family chaos and fights with their parents. Why it matters: Many presidential hopefuls carry painful memories from complicated childhoods. But few have discussed them as openly as Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker. Their frankness about their formative years and family dynamics is a way to shape their public stories before journalists do. It's also a sign of shifting taboos and a growing desire for candidates to appear relatable to voters.Newsom grew up as private-school twat and family friend of the Getty's, and Pritzker is an obese billionaire nepo baby. I don't know if Josh Shapiro is a rich bitch -- -- update, just got an email from Tucker Carlson, saying, "Look at his last name. Look at his little hat. You know he's rich." Well I'll take that under consideration, Cuck. They desperately need to show that they've "struggled" in life so out comes the stories of dyslexia and... fights with their parents? What? Your daddy wouldn't let you borrow the new Beemer -- just the old one, last year's model without the heated seats -- and you had yourself a sulk and so now you understand the daily grind of the common people? Can I impress upon you the Healing Power of Shutting the Fuck Up? You're probably not going to believe me, but a black female Democrat involved in the "Equity" grift turns out to be a fraudster and criminal thief. Man, I did not have that on today's Bingo card. (Just yesterday's, tomorrow's, and Easter's.)
Last August, I told you the story of a close associate of then-Mayor London Breed named Sheryl Davis. Ms Davis had been on the rocket glide path to San Fran prominence as a member of the city's Human Rights Commission, eventually rising to become its head. The SF Human Rights Commission, under Ms. Davis's leadership, had a $44M annual budget, which was scheduled to shrink amid the city's 2025-26 money woes to around $28M. Still pretty healthy cha-ching by any measure. In 2021, in the aftermath of the St. George Floyd incident, she had also been personally tapped by Mayor Breed to lead a multimillion-dollar feel-good investment (described as 'tens of millions of dollars') that the city was making in the black community, dubbed the 'Dream Keeper Initiative.'A huge pile of money earmarked for a completely vague purpose whose efficacy cannot be proven nor disproven given to a political crony who owes her position only to grifting?! I see no (intentional) accountability holes here whatsoever!!!
... The San Francisco Chronicle discovered a $10,000 tab paid for by the Human Rights Commission for a Martha's Vineyard cottage rental. Worse, the invoice had been split, seemingly to evade limits on travel claims, and even worse yet, they had the email from Ms. Davis asking for the workaround. It snowballed from there. the ten grand invoice was reportedly for interns (!) in the city's Dream Keeper program who were attending a conference on *checks notes* Martha's Vineyard.See the link for more. I'm sure she'll explain that she personally paid for the trip to Martha's Vinyard but has no bank transactions to prove it because she paid it out of the huge sums of cash she keeps hidden in the house because her daddy told her that was a great way to store wealth. Liberal "man" at a No Kings rally says he's wearing Scarlet Whore lipstick because someone told him that wearing lipstick was a historic show of resistance to Hitler. He then explained he was walking around with a 12 inch butt plug in his rectum because his friend also told him that Anal Training was the "highest form of patriotism." Say her name:
the SF Standard reported that Human Rights Commission executive director Sheryl Davis had signed off on $1.5 million in grants to a nonprofit led by a man she lived with, one James Spingola
the Human Rights Commission's Dream Keeper Initiative had granted a total of $7.5 million to Spingola's Collective Impact nonprofit.
Sheryl Davis got $19,000 in city money for her son's UCLA grad school tuition, as the Chronicle reports.
Spingola's non-profit, Collective Impact, got $27 million in city grants, gave first-class airfare to Davis to promote her book and podcast, plus another $5,000 for Oakland soul singer Goapele to perform at Davis's book launch party.
Davis was Collective Impact's executive director before taking the Human Rights Commission job The wheels of justice move slowly, but this past Monday, Sheryl Davis surrendered to face 57 pages of legal sheet music.
Once San Francisco's most powerful civil rights watchdog, Sheryl Davis continued her spectacular fall on Monday when she surrendered to authorities to face accusations that she misappropriated funds and engaged in "pervasive" self-dealing while leading a landmark initiative meant to benefit the city's Black community.

@libsoftiktok SAY HER NAME: Kembery Chirinos Flores Kembery, a 24yo California mother, was reportedly shot and m*rdered by two illegal aliens, Gerzon Chirinos-Munguia and Alfonso Inestroza. Chirinos-Munguia was previously arrested for domestic battery in 2019 but California officials RELEASED him instead of giving him to ICE. Inestroza was wanted for ANOTHER m*rder in NJ at the time of his arrest. An innocent mother is DEAD because these criminal illegals were allowed to walk the streets.

A mother of seven (she adopted her eldest grandchild) and grandmother to six, her professional career has included work in housing, environmental justice, clean energy and literacy. Earlier this month, she was sworn in as her community’s voice on the Minneapolis City Council, replacing Jeremiah Ellison, who did not seek re-election.
Ward 5’s New Council Member Pearll Warren is never at a loss for words. In fact, she’s among the best Spoken Word Artists in the country, having placed 14th in a global competition back in 2014. “I competed in the women’s National Poetry Slam, against 72 other women,” recalls Warren, who still performs today. “It’s my art. It’s my medicine. It’s my therapy. It gave me a diction for my experiences to really capture my emotions or my vantage point.

A neutron bomb, officially defined as a type of enhanced radiation weapon (ERW), is a low-yield thermonuclear weapon designed to maximize lethal neutron radiation in the immediate vicinity of the blast while minimizing the physical power of the blast itself. The neutron release generated by a nuclear fusion reaction is intentionally allowed to escape the weapon, rather than being absorbed by its other components.[3] The neutron burst, which is used as the primary destructive action of the warhead, is able to penetrate enemy armor more effectively than a conventional warhead, thus making it more lethal as a tactical weapon.

Something like 29 years ago I happened to be living in Savannah. In those days they had newspapers printed on dead tree. And local staff writing articles of local interest. One of the staffers wrote a political op/ed on racism in the south, as perceived by new englanders. This writer happened t be a black guy, who happened to be from the NE. Before I get to the onion on the belt, he said they are far more racist in the NE than down south.

From wiki:
A young woman, Erin, breaks up with her boyfriend, Billy, after kissing their mutual friend Kevin and deciding to pursue a relationship with him. Enraged, Billy bludgeons Erin to death and conceals the crime. Some time later, college student Laurel starts a relationship with Billy, who has assumed Kevin's identity. He becomes overly attached, but she is drawn to his intense affection; when he behaves inappropriately, she accepts his apologetic romantic gestures. After meeting Laurel's mother Jessica, Billy becomes increasingly more aggressive and jealous. He convinces Laurel to cut and bleach her hair, both to incense Jessica and to make Laurel resemble Erin. Jessica suspects "Kevin" is not who he claims to be.
To protect his assumed identity, Billy murders Kevin, who had been out of town. He convinces Laurel to live with him in an isolated cabin with no telephone. After she discovers he is not arranging installation of a phone line as he had claimed, she confronts him and decides to move out. He drugs and abducts her, driving her car to her family's cabin.

Now, I say he did it past tense. But mom came up with a present tense story b/c saying you cold-bloodedly killed the rapist after the crime doesn't always get you off...but "saving the life of another" would, since you are always allowed to come to the aid of another.
I'm sure the jury was convinced of those facts, and thus didn't ultimately care what story mom came up with - they saw a dude who had it coming and deserved all he got.

So like one of them will brand Newsom (for example) as "mean" or something like that. But Democrats think "mean" sells now especially in a supposedly manly man they can keep the ladies moist for. I'm just spitballing, there's a few ways it could really go, and even predicting the shape is hard.
But my theory is if they're all being loud and obnoxious to each other, Vance or Trump attacks on them aren't gonna easily land. Or so the DNC will believe.

The Sahara was not always a desert.

This “Green Sahara” gradually transformed into the arid desert we know today, with the transition beginning around 8,000 years ago and reaching its hyper-arid state roughly 5,500 years ago.

That's true. Green Sahara is about a 21,000 year cycle driven by precession of the equinoxes, perihelion walking around the seasons. When perihelion gets in nothern hemisphere summer, it tips it back wet and green again. The mechanism is not completely understood, but it has to do with the African monsoon.

Although most prehistorians who have studied the Predynastic agree that a startling increase in rainfall took place in Upper Egypt between 7000 and 2500 BC, they are not unanimous about where it came from, how consistent it was, or at what time of the year it would have fallen.
...
Regardless of how we reconstruct the subsistence economy and divisions of labor that were used by Predynastic peoples to take advantage of their complex environment, it seems apparent that they were scattered widely from the banks of the Nile out into the hills of the Western Desert, exploiting a variety of ecological niches with a variety of different subsistence techniques and modes of social organization.

Further, from a Judeo-Christian perspective, if all the Jews had risen up to prevent the Crucifixion, they would be defying the Father and preventing Christ from fulfilling his Earthly mission.

Yeah. Every time I hear the Green Sahara claim I think to myself, OK, then where did the gazillions of tons of sand come from? Were there plants, now extinct, that grew in sand? Methinks this claim is about green, wet areas near the coast and the Nile, that extended inland maybe fifty miles more than today, and the savanna belt extended a bit farther north. But the 'experts' seem to want everyone to believe the entire Sahara area was a lush garden from the Mediterranean to Timbuktu and Khartoum, five-to-ten thousand years ago.

There are places in the US that are very sandy, and if the rains went away they would be come quite sandy deserts.
one of the alternate ways of looking at the questions is "If that area was rainy and green once upon a time, would people have lived in it and left traces, and would the rain run off to make lakes and river systems" and then look to see if such things have been found.
Try looking up "paleorivers" and "sahara" for example, or "hunters and gatherers" and "sahara" to see what is found online from the journals

I don't follow. It was necessary has a corollary: it was necessary for someone to do it.
It also is fairly ahistorical. Assigning blame to the Jews has a textual basis (Matt 27:25) that was recognized to stand for that proposition for a long time. Saint Augustine, for example.
I prefer our more contemporary rapprochement with the Jews myself. But I don't think the preceding view was dumb or inexplicable.
I think Christians have largely lost their fire and are embarrassed by a lot of their past. It's a lot like the story of the modern West in general.

Is This Something?
Before that: Iran began launching missiles at the area of the crash in order to kill the pilots and any special forces sent to retrieve them.
They also shot small arms fire at search and rescue helicopters. There is a claim that the second pilot was found and flown back to a base in Iraq. I have searched for someone apart from this one rando account claiming this, and have found nothing. So I wouldn't believe it.Babak Taghvaee - The Crisis WatchThis is the kind of news which, if true, would be shouted from all five corners of the Pentagon. I wouldn't even post this but it's being retweeted and I figure everyone will hear about it. If you see an official source confirming this, please let me know.
@BabakTaghvaee1
BREAKING: According to CENTCOM, the second U.S. Air Force CSAR team sent into Iran to rescue the crew of the downed F-15E of the 494th Fighter Squadron has successfully located and rescued the second crew member. He ejected, survived the crash, and is now safe in Iraq. This is good news for the 48th Fighter Wing community at RAF Lakenheath--both crew members of the downed F-15E are now safe. Also, the crew members of the second HH-60W helicopter involved in the rescue operation of the second crew member, which was shot upon by means of MANPADS, are also safe.

House of Leaves is the 2000 Danielewski novel including with looping self referential off-tangent nested plots. And a house where any dimension is not a function of any other dimension. Hallways can go for miles, rooms are bigger than the room or house that contains them, etc...

I'm home recovering from my exposure to Western paternalism and imperialism toward Korean orphans, as "explained" by an anti-American professor. There was a free lunch -- shrimp or chicken po-boys, plus french fries; and she was surprisingly attractive. I mean, I was expecting some middle-aged battleaxe with close-cropped silver hair; but she was youngish, slim, and well-spoken, with long black hair and wearing a nice black dress and high heels (!).
She herself, she mentioned, was a Korean adoptee. Instead of being grateful to her adopted country for all the advantages she's had, she complains about American soldiers creating a Korean adoption "industry." Oh, well, the drive there and back was pleasant and the food was, did I mention it was free?

U.S. Central Command (centcom dot mil) hasn't put out a public release since March 31st.
>Al Jazeera has the following, 1st posted 3 hours ago:
WATCH: What we know about the US fighter jet shot down in Iran.
It's roughly a minute and a half in length. The message of the news anchor chilled my blood.
Also, 1 hour ago - 'US media says 2 US helicopters involved in rescue mission were hit'
The US media is now reporting a US official as saying that two US helicopters involved in search-and-rescue operations for the downed pilots were hit by Iranian fire.
It has many more "developments" posted, one of which is one of the two helicopters, above, has also been downed.
As always, hard to say what's real.

Lastly, it has also reported today: News
Drone strike on Sudan hospital kills 10, medical charity MSF says
Two strikes on Al Jabalain Hospital in White Nile State hit an operating theatre and a maternity ward, MSF says.

The Lonely Island guys are somehow involved in this husband-and-wife-try-to-murder-each-other comedy
This is a remake of another Netflix foreign movie. (Quality Guarranteed!).
This is one where almost certainly you can get your fill of comedy anal rape.
In the furren flick, it was just (mostly) a threat to control the husband character by the criminals. From the reviews, I gather they go ahead and rape the husband in the remake.
Does this mean we're going to get a comedy remake of "The Accused" next year?

They also shot small arms fire at search and rescue helicopters.
Seeing as I'm an experienced 29 year old I remember when a claim was raised that Bush 41 shot at Japanese in a life boat during WWII, and the left at the time argued that any attack on people in this sort of survivor situation was a serious war crime.
Why do I expect they will give Iran a pass here?

Here are the American actresses most frequently cited for having notably large/wide mouths (often praised for their broad, toothy smiles or full lips that make the mouth appear prominent):
Julia Roberts — Iconic for her huge, wide smile and naturally full lips (often called a "trout mouth" due to the even plumpness with minimal Cupid's bow). She's repeatedly topped or heavily featured in fan lists and articles about "actresses with large mouths." Her grin is one of the most recognizable in Hollywood for its breadth.
Angelina Jolie — Known for her full, sensual lips and wide mouth. She's a staple in "best/sexiest lips" rankings and is often compared directly to Julia Roberts for mouth prominence.
Other American actresses commonly mentioned in "large mouths" or "broad smiles" contexts include:
Cameron Diaz (wide, bright smile)
Anne Hathaway (broad, full-lipped smile)
Eva Mendes (frequently listed for large mouth features)
Scarlett Johansson (voluptuous lips contributing to a prominent mouth)

The dirty secret about those adoptions is that a lot of the adoptees were fathered on the Koreans by US soldiers. The Koreans used the adoption industry - it was an industry - to flush the foreign genes out of their race.
The North Koreans are more overtly nativist, maybe, but they're all Koreans, coming right off a foreign occupation.

There are parts of the book that I strongly feel are not meant to be read, just looked at, scanned to evoke a feeling, like "wow, that's a lot of stuff right there boy howdy". But not to read.

But the good part is this: You know in every detective story, where the detective is working on one case and then another and it turns out the two cases are related? Kiss Kiss Bang Bang calls this trope out explicitly.
Anyway in Inherent Vice, the detective, Joachim Phoenix, is high out of his mind. So he's paranoid. And he receives a new potential client, and starts taking notes about the case. And as the potential client tells his story, it dawns on Phoenix that this case is directly linked to the one he's already on.
And this is the funny part: Because he's high, he starts freaking out with paranoia (justified, I'd say) but also trying to hide it because he's high AF.
This is in many ways the story of JackStraw, the AOSHQ's own White Rabbit.

On top of that, I was extremely surprised at the drive over and back. This is a commute I took for years and years, trying to find a series of roads that were smooth and pleasant to drive on. The city -- who recently repaired a major water line break on the main avenue in that area -- has not only repaired it so you'd never know, they've actually paved it properly. The car was looking over its shoulder at me, saying, "Boss, this is how roads are supposed to be!"
Plus we timed it just right to use the HOV lanes in each direction. Winning!

I kinda liked Under the Silver Lake. Have other readers seen it? I can't completely recommend it because it is too indulgent. But if you like offbeat noirs, like Pychon's Crying of Lot 49 or the one with Joachim Phoenix about the pothead detective in California, you may like it. It's basically just a pastiche of Pynchon. But... good? Kinda?
Posted by: ace who still doesn't know who the Hound of the Baskervilles was at April 03, 2026 05:29 PM (1wjle)
I'm a fan of "Under the Silver Lake", but yeah it's tough to recommend because the viewer just has to go along with it or bail.
So yeah, very Pynchonesque.
The ending is what really makes it work. Brilliant writing. Most writers couldn't do that. It also gives the story weight that you wouldn't expect.
The surprising thing was that the lovely and circumspect Mrs naturalfake liked it as well. Didn't love it, but liked it.
The same writer director of "It Follows" wrote and directed "Under the Silver Lake" also is doing the End of Oak Street, so I have high hopes.

I got interested in that. Rather than disposable cannisters, Orion has some regenerative system. Online scrubbers absorb, then it when it gets full, they rotate and vent. It surprised me they said this is the biggest source of possible unintentional propulsive venting to worry about, more than the pee dumps and such.

We will get the information after this punitive expedition is over, but I wonder if the F-15 and A-10 were shot-down in the same general area? Obviously, the Iranians got a pop-up SAM system, or two, operational.
But, after over 10,000 sorties with over-whelming air superiority, I wouldn't doubt that the flight crews began to get complacent. I suspect that we're busy bombing anything that even looks like a SAM system right now.

A neutron bomb, officially defined as a type of enhanced radiation weapon (ERW), is a low-yield thermonuclear weapon designed to maximize lethal neutron radiation in the immediate vicinity of the blast while minimizing the physical power of the blast itself. The neutron release generated by a nuclear fusion reaction is intentionally allowed to escape the weapon, rather than being absorbed by its other components. The neutron burst, which is used as the primary destructive action of the warhead, is able to penetrate enemy armor and structures more effectively than a conventional warhead, thus making it more lethal as a tactical weapon.

248 My wife was a Korean orphanage adoptee. She is very happy to have come to the US even with the problems she had, both there and here. I know a number of her "sisters" as well, and some are delightful and others sort of OK, but they all know what they have here as opposed to what they had there. She goes and visits one of the orphanages in S Korea still.

From Blue Oyster Cult legend Buck Dharma: Important Yak Content.
Scientists hunting for treatments and cures for multiple sclerosis may have found an unlikely ally -- the yak. The high-altitude, cold-hardy relative of the cow could be the key to a medical breakthrough, according to a March13 study published in the journal Neuron. At the center of it all is the myelin sheath -- a fatty, protective coating around nerve fibers that helps signals travel between the brain and body. In MS, the immune system attacks that coating, disrupting communication and triggering neurological symptoms including problems with balance and coordination. Previous research found that animals living on Tibet's high plateau -- including yaks and antelopes, which roam at average elevations above 14,800 feet -- carry a special genetic mutation called Restat that protects their brains from low-oxygen conditions. Crucially, it does so without damaging the myelin sheath. Now scientists believe that same gene could help humans repair damaged nerves by regrowing the protective coating, and potentially opening a new door for MS treatment. The disease typically strikes adults between the ages of 20 and 40. About 1 million Americans are currently living with it, according to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. To find out if the genetic mutation Restat could play a role in protecting nerve health in humans, Liang Zhang, a neuroscientist at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, and his team tested mice engineered with the genetic mutation while living in low-oxygen conditions. And the results were promising. The mice engineered to carry the mutant gene not only performed better in memory and behavior tests -- they also had healthier, thicker myelin, according to Zhang's study. Even better, when their nerves were damaged, these mice repaired their myelin faster and more completely. The gene works by boosting production of a vitamin A-related molecule called ATDR -- all-trans-13,14-dihydroretinol -- which helps create and mature the cells that make myelin.I don't know if I want Yak DNA in my body. As a wise man once said, "History shows again and again that nature points up the folly of man."
What's good for your aging gut may also be good for your aging brain. A first-of-its-kind study in twins found that taking daily protein and prebiotic supplements can improve memory test scores in people over age 60. Published in 2024, the findings are food for thought, especially as the same visual memory and learning test is used to detect early signs of Alzheimer's disease. The double-blind trial tested two inexpensive plant-fiber prebiotics that are available over the counter in many countries. Prebiotics are non-digestible consumables that help stimulate our gut microbes. One of the supplements was inulin, a dietary fiber in the fructan class. The other, fructooligosaccharide (FOS), is a plant carbohydrate often used as a natural low-calorie sweetener.Now if you want to go the other way and speed up your cognitive decline, you should do what the Young Idiots are doing and use ChatGPT for everything.
AI chatbots can act as a "cognitive crutch" that reduces our ability to retain information, a new study suggests. The research was conducted by AI expert André Barcaui of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, who ran an experiment with 120 university students. Half were allowed to use ChatGPT to help them respond to an assignment on the topic of artificial intelligence, and half weren't. In a surprise test sprung on the participants 45 days after the assignment was given, the students who used ChatGPT scored an average of 5.75 out of 10. For those who took the traditional study route, the average score was 6.85 out of 10. That's a notable difference, and while this is a relatively small study in terms of participants and timescale, it chimes with other research showing that using AI to find information means we just don't take as much in. "This suggests that unrestricted ChatGPT use impaired long-term retention, likely by reducing the cognitive effort that supports durable memory," writes Barcaui in his published paper.This is one of the least-surprising findings I've ever seen. Now we see what JackStraw was doing with his NIH grant.
Scientists Engineered a Plant to Produce 5 Different Psychedelics at Once What do plants, toads, and mushrooms have in common? They can all produce psychedelic substances -- and now their powers have been combined in one plant, like a trippier Captain Planet. In a wild first, scientists have taken the genes these organisms use to make five natural psychedelics and introduced them into a tobacco plant (Nicotiana benthamiana), which then produced all five compounds simultaneously. As interest grows in psychedelics as potential treatments for illnesses such as depression, anxiety, and PTSD, the newly developed system could offer scientists a new way to produce these compounds for research purposes. "[Our] strategy established a heterologous plant system for the production of five prominent therapeutically valuable compounds, their derivatives, and nonnatural plant analogs, providing a starting point for their production in plants," writes a team led by researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel. "You smoke the LSD tree and listening to the Grateful Dead becomes so immersive you completely forget how much they suck," said self-declared "part time drifter, full time dreamer" JackStraw.Good news for every male AOS commenter.

The connection between testosterone and well-being is weaker than many people think. Although there are clear health connections, a higher testosterone level is not always the key to well-being, according to a thesis at the University of Gothenburg's Department of Jonah Goldberg's Unfulfilled Wife. ...Want to increase your physical and mental performance? Take a fake pill. Even if you know it's fake it will still work because you're so gullible. Some test subjects were given placebos claimed to be a multivitamin with pro-mental and muscular properties. Some test subjects were given an "open placebo," a placebo identified to the patient as a placebo with no real benefits, but were also told that sometimes placebos could grant psychological benefits that would result in real benefits. Both groups saw benefits from the fake medicine.
The clearest connections are found in sexual problems with sexual desire, erection and sexual performance, as well as in some muscle and joint pain, as well as sitting on Twitter all day long spamming out trash jokes from 1999."
Muscle health and testosterone are also connected. Higher testosterone levels are linked to higher muscle mass and, above all, to less intramuscular fat. This is especially true in muscles with a high percentage of fat: around the stomach, waist, lower back and hips, and in the chest muscles, the so-called JGFDS, or 'Jonah Goldberg Fat Deposition Sites.'"
A placebo is "an inert treatment presented as active", according to the definition used by these authors. In medical history, placebo effects have been researched by offering an inert treatment as if it were an active intervention. This presumes that the patient's belief is necessary for the effect to occur. However, more recent literature suggests the contrary. That is, if the placebo effect is satisfactorily explained as involving mind-body interactions, open-label placebos exert effects on patients as strong as deceptive placebos across multiple clinical and experimental parameters. Psychologists attribute this to patients' expectations, which operate through psychological, contextual, and expectancy-driven processes to fulfil them. ...People actually saw greater benefits when they knew they were taking a placebo. (Albeit with the information that a placebo can still produce a real world effect.)
Within each group, self-reported parameters remained unchanged. Cognitive performance increased from before to after the intervention in both placebo groups. A cognitive inhibition task showed improvement in all groups, including controls, suggesting a likely practice or habituation effect rather than a placebo-specific effect. Physical functioning improved in both placebo groups, but more significantly in the open-label group, in within-group analyses, although no significant between-group differences were observed at post-intervention.
Specifically, researchers found that the placebo improved physical performance by 7% when taken under deception, and by 9.2% when taken knowingly. Cognitive performance improved, depending on the assessment test used by the psychologists, by between 12.6% and 14.6% in the case of the sham supplement (deceptive placebo), and by between 6.9% and 21.5% in the case of the placebo taken knowingly. "These are significant effects," the psychologist emphasizes, "comparable to those seen in some experimental studies on physical activity regarding physical performance and cognitive training, especially with regard to memory." Among the various effects observed, there was an improvement in drowsiness and, particularly for the group aware they are taking the placebo, in stress levels.
A placebo effect is still an effect. DNA shows that dog became man's best friend even earlier than previously thought.
The discovery of the oldest ever dog DNA suggests they have been our best friends for nearly 16,000 years -- 5,000 years earlier than had previously been thought, new research said Wednesday. Despite being ubiquitous in the homes, backyards and hearts of people across the world, surprisingly little is known about where dogs come from. ... Dogs are most likely a mix of two types of grey wolves, he said. However exactly when dogs diverged from wolves has been difficult to trace, partly because their ancient bones are tricky to tell apart. That is why scientists behind two new studies published in the journal Nature sequenced the genomes from archaeological remains, shedding light on the elusive origins of our furry friends. The first study revealed that the world's oldest canine DNA was discovered in a piece of a skull in Pinarbasi in what is now Turkey. The female puppy, which was perhaps "a few months old", probably looked like a small wolf when it lived roughly 15,800 years ago, according to study co-author Laurent Frantz of the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich. Before Wednesday, the oldest-known dog DNA was from 10,900 years ago. Also breaking that record was genetic evidence the team found in southwest England dating back 14,300 years, which illustrated how early dogs had spread across Europe. Frantz said scientists could not prove exactly what role these dogs had among humans living during the last Ice Age. "But I think we can assume that they must have played a role because they would have been expensive to feed," he said. Perhaps the dogs were used for hunting or protection, he speculated. Even if these dogs were not treated the same as pets are today, there was likely still a strong bond, he said, adding that "kids will still have played with puppies".And now for the big question: Does anyone have any health gains they'd like to report to the group? I don't have any. I've been low-carb pretty consistently, but the only result is that I'm not gaining weight. I'm losing none. I really do have to start exercising again.

About 9 million barrels a day are being rerouted through two major pipelines. 4 million got through the strait a couple of days ago.
20 million get through on a normal day.
Really, in a few months, the only people who are going to remember this are the shale oil producers in America when they look at their fleet of new Bugattis.

From Post Millennial.
"A Washington state children's book author and co-founder of the Bellingham Naked Bike Ride has been arrested on child sex crime charges.
Zachary Elisha Robertson, 42, of Bellingham, was taken into custody on March 10 on two felony counts of possession of child pornography. Investigators located approximately 25 nude images of prepubescent and pubescent girls on his laptop upon the execution of a search warrant. He later allegedly confessed to downloading nude images of girls between the ages of 5 and 7 years old, according to court documents."

Two more US military aircraft were downed in the Middle East on Friday, in addition to an F-15E Strike Eagle that crashed earlier.
An A-10 Warthog reportedly went down contemporaneously with the crash of the F-15, according to the New York Times.
Officials have not stated the cause of the crash or the country where it occurred, but it reportedly occurred near the Strait of Hormuz.
The pilot was safely rescued.
Additionally, Black Hawk helicopter was hit by Iran. Preliminary reports suggest that the Blackhawk was hit during search and rescue operations but landed safely. It was later reported that two helicopters were struck by Iranian fire during the search and rescue, but all crew members are safe

"But no, Trump shouldn't have tried to fix a generations' long regional and worldwide threat because it made winning the midterms harder. He should have been like Democrats who refused to open the borders under Biden because it was so unpopular that it threatened their midterm prospects and just did border security instead to try and keep the Senate and maybe push through another bill."

Operation Tempo is pretty high right now and US pilots are probably targeting areas with a lot of man launched missiles. Around the SW coastline of Iran-Straits of Hormuz.
Centcom is playing it close to the chest as to what brought the aircraft down except for the two rescue helicopters that were fired upon but got home safely.

About 8-10 years ago I finally quit smoking for good after reading Alan Carr's "Easy Way to Quit Smoking" which was recommended by our own Ace. (Many, many thanks to you, Ace.) Since that time, I have gone religiously for the once yearly low-dose CT scan of lungs that is offered to smokers/former smokers.
Every one was negative. My doctor suggested that since I had been doing it for at least 8 years, I could probably stop. I asked for just one more, and he said okay. Well, it showed a very small spot on the right lower lobe. After much testing it was confirmed as Stage I CA. Please note that I had no symptoms whatsoever that anything was wrong.
I had the CA removed at Memorial Sloan-Kettering in NYC about two weeks ago. Doc got it all. No chemo, no radiation required. There were a few glitches, but I've been home for more than a week and feeling better and stronger every day. Thank you to all of you for your prayers!
My only wish is for all of you to take advantage of any and all screenings that are offered--mammograms, CTs, colonoscopies, etc. Catch the beast early and you can beat it.

My father passed away and left me as the executor of his estate. It's modest, but needs to be done. He left a will, but not much other documentation on house title, car(s) title, insurance policies, etc. Coupled with greedy conniving family members that are willing to burn down a lifetime of relationships for money that amounts to about enough that would allow them to buy a nice SUV, it's stressful.

Unfortunately, the other "gain" is that a steroid has to be given without it so that my liver doesn't develop scarring, so I have put back on about 25 pounds since January.
The surgeon says that the steroids aren't crossing into my system (the chemo is delivered directly into my hepatic artery and quickly metabolized), but I think that Prednisone is a sneaky little bastard, and doctors can't really be sure about that.
The indication has more to do with just weight gain, but also the fact that my blood sugar numbers jumped up 40 points in the same time period - which only ever happens when I am on steroids (no history of diabetes on either side of my direct family).
Another lovely side effect has been urinary issues - TMI for polite company; suffice it to say I am quite miserable and stuck near a bathroom at all times. Thankfully, I saw my urologist this week and she has me on some samples of a medication which has helped immensely.
She didn't pooh-pooh my claims of steroid exposure - said this was not uncommon at all.
It's been an interesting few months.....

Surgical mesh, used to repair hernias and tissue damage, might now be more often made of polypropylene, a non-absorbable plastic polymer. However, other materials include polyester, polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE or Gore-Tex), or biologic tissues derived from porcine (pig) or bovine (cow) collagen are also used, and bacteria can grow and form biofilms on all types of hernia mesh. (Had it happen.)
Gel injections for knee pain were derived from rooster combs (hence the nickname "rooster comb injections"). Now most modern hyaluronic acid is produced in labs through bacterial fermentation, making them safe for people with chicken allergies.
Tat ink can be a horror in the human body.
MS is such a terrible disease. My young niece has been cautious but engaged in some drug trials for relief. She did not regret it and, if that proves a good treatment or cure, she'd likely go for it.

When my husband was dying, he WAY overfed her; she was his "comfort animal", they deeply loved each other, and she would spend all day and all night focused on him, sitting in his lounger with him, lying with him, watching TV.
She is a mishmosh of four small breeds, two of which would happily eat until they exploded.
No matter how I tried to keep it in check, he would give her handfuls of his food, or just give her his plate.
And she ate.
By the time he passed, she weighed 16 pounds.
She should weigh 8.
When my daughter came home from a year in another state, she screamed when she saw the dog--she looked like an overinflated football with a point at each end, balanced on four other points.
It took me over a year to get her down to 8 again, and I am so glad I did, even though she was convinced I didn't love her and was trying to kill her.
She is healthy, vigorous for her age, and still a sweet dear.
May she continue, God willing!

My two cents is go with the nicotine lozenges. They worked for me. Much better than the gum and better than having 15 or 20 patches stuck on you. That might be hyperbole.

Close Air Support and rescuing downed pilots/weapons officers is a difficult task. Right now, it could be that the F-15 went down first and certainly the copters were attacked while doing the rescue mission. The other aircraft, the A-10, flies at low level anyway--not clear whether it was also involved in the search for the downed F-15 pilots.
So two aircraft were lost and two copters got shot at and at least one damaged rescuing downed pilots. They got to safety okay.

Do it, ace. I can't really figure out how it worked, but it did. I went into it convinced that it would be no better than every other technique I had tried: hypnosis, SmokEnders, accupuncture, etc. Figured my best shot was to read it in one sitting, so I did so one night and finished just before bed. Got up the next morning and said to myself, "Yeah, I'm not smoking anymore."
And that was it. I don't even remember if there were any withdrawal symptoms. I was done. You can do it, ace.

My husband loved food, and his eyes were bigger than his appetite as he declined, and he raised absolute hell if anyone tried to convince him to take SOME, and have a bit more if he felt good. He wanted the whole steak, and a baked potato, and so on.
He'd have a few bites, and hand her the plate, and she would have wolfed as much down as she could (which was plenty) before I could grab it.
Vet gave me a great tip--she can have as many vegs as she wants, and she absolutely loves any kind of bean or pea.
I get the mini cans of low sodium peas and carrots, and drain one into a container in the fridge. She can have a small handful (8-10 peas, 2-3 little cubes of carrot) for a treat, and it is good for her.
After every walk, she lines up at the fridge for her peas and carrots!

The Azo tablets are actually a food safe clothing dye that for whatever reason reduce urinary inflammation/pain but in return makes your pee a deep stainable orange in color. Over the counter at drug stores and I think there is a similar product from another brand name.
I had to get over severe UTIs by months of antibiotics before the docs would consider surgery and then I found out that the local docs misdiagnosed me with an enlarged prostate when I actually had a bladder obstruction. So I dumped the local docs and went to Mayo Scottsdale AZ for cold holmium laser removal of the obstruction.

If Super Mario Galaxy is as cute and adorable as the 1st film, it's going to make a billion dollars.
And even if it's not, it's largely got a multi-generational audience baked into the cake.
I am contemplating taking the gKids to see it next week. For me the fun is watching them watching it.
It's going to be loud though -- the trailer itself is loud.

One annoying kind of funny thing, It lists my weight level as 'Obese' and my body type as 'obese.' WTF, scale? lol.
At this point, while I have been eating crap, I have continued to lift, so I have more muscle than at any time since high school. Now I am still about 30 lbs off my weight then, but still.

I was thinking of Rami's A Simple Plan. One of my favorite movies. Bill Paxton's character is the most likeable and he's still bad. He just has intentions closer to good.
You should read the book. If you think the movie characters are bad, in the book, EVERYONE is just downright evil. The stuff that the main character is willing to do in order to find and steal back a single $100 bill are downright diabolical. That got cut from the screenplay.

Note from their perspective the earth is upside down. In those pics, the south pole is in the upper right and north pole lower left. That's the Sahara on the left, with Spain peeking in from the lower left. Brazil is also visible on the right, just under a lot of clouds.
And note this the night side of earth. That bright one is overexposed or processed as such.

Ray Liotta became my favorite actor after that movie.

If it weren't for the atmosphere, you see Venus to the east of the Sun, then Saturn, Mars, and Mercury all lined up to the West of the sun. Still too close to the Sun to see any of the latter at sunrise.

Sure. "Kill the Moon" from Series Eight of the new Doctor Who. Peter Capaldi is the Twelfth Doctor and his companion is Clara Oswald. They stumble into a lunar mission where "moon spiders" are causing problems. Then they discover the Moon is alive and have to decide whether or not to "abort" the hatching moonspawn, thus saving planet Earth, or allow it to hatch, which might destroy Earth. Terrible episode from start to finish with heavy-handed pro-abortion messaging.

Religiosity Surges Among Young People, David French Says "You're Welcome"
Wait I don't think this has anything to do with cuckchair model David French.
Last September, Pastor Jason Howard of the Sanctuary Church in Pittsburgh saw a surge of young people flocking to his Christian congregation, the week after Charlie Kirk was murdered. Howard knew that something had shifted. Yes, their congregation had always been predominantly youth-driven, but this was different. Lines began to form for their services. Public transportation was dropping off children by the busload from campuses across the city, and he knew that he had an obligation to expand. Howard teamed up with local college students at the University of Pittsburgh, and a revival called Pitt Purposes was held on campus, attracting about 600 students and led by members of the university's football team. But the youth movement didn't pause. In fact, it grew, leading to last week's revival at the University of Pittsburgh's Peterson Center that attracted thousands and included hundreds of baptisms, most in pickup trucks. Howard said that after Pitt for Jesus happened in the fall, they really wanted to do a follow-up. "Our hope was that we could do something big like at the Petersen Event Center," he said. Jake Overman, the captain of the Pitt football team, reached out to Unite Us, a ministry that has partnered with university students to organize big arena events at college campuses. Overman, who might get drafted or picked up as a free agent in next month's draft in Pittsburgh, led the Pitt for Jesus movement last fall. There is one catch: Unite Us almost exclusively does events below the Mason-Dixon line. Nonetheless, they secured the Petersen Event Center, located in the middle of the Oakland Campus, and Overman and an army of students began canvassing the local campuses here for turnout. There are several universities and colleges in the Pittsburgh area: Carnegie Mellon, Duquesne, Robert Morris, LaRoche, Point Park, Carlow, Chatham, and Allegheny Community College. By the time the event happened last week, over 5,000 young people were in attendance, with several hundred of them choosing to be baptized that evening. They are not alone. For the first time in decades, faith in this country is growing, not retreating -- particularly among our young people, something that I've been reporting for the past year. In my rural parish, a Roman Catholic Church in the Diocese of Greensburg, our attendance has nearly doubled since last fall. Unless you get to Mass at least 15 minutes before services begin, you are left standing for the entire service -- and that is with added folding chairs in the back, along the side, and with the choir pews above us filled. ... On Sunday, the Mother of Sorrows parish, which is also part of the Diocese of Greensburg, also had standing-room-only services on Palm Sunday. This has become the norm every Sunday. All three parking lots were packed, with cars straddling the grass leading down to the highway. Nearby Dick's Diner was also filled with parishioners. The surge in Roman Catholic Church converts is being felt across the United States. Dioceses in the Rust Belt, Midwest, and Bible Belt are seeing record numbers of people received into the Catholic Church. Last fall, the New York Times reported that the Archdioceses of Detroit, Galveston-Houston, and Des Moines are also seeing significant increases. ... "What we're witnessing right now is an answer to many years of prayers," he said. "Seeing this many college students turn to Jesus, and not just in a casual way but in a passionate way; willing to follow him wholeheartedly." ... "I think overall young people are really looking for something real, and I think that this generation has really gotten to the point where the world seems out of control, and the world seems to be so subjective," Howard said. He added that people are desperately looking for something absolute to anchor their lives in. "And, of course, God is the absolute that can anchor our lives."
Haz
@Michael_Haz The TLM order that has been entrusted with my parish cannot ordain new priests fast enough to keep up with the requests from bishops to take over closed churches for parishoners who have asked for a Latin Mass. Wherever they are sent, the once-closed churches have filled pews several times, every Sunday. It's a beautiful thing to see and hear, especially all the newly initiated young singles, couples and families.

BREAKING: According to CENTCOM, the second U.S. Air Force CSAR team sent into Iran to rescue the crew of the downed F-15E of the 494th Fighter Squadron has successfully located and rescued the second crew member.
He ejected, survived the crash, and is now safe in Iraq.
This is good news for the 48th Fighter Wing community at RAF Lakenheath—both crew members of the downed F-15E are now safe.
Also, the crew members of the second HH-60W helicopter involved in the rescue operation of the second crew member, which was shot upon by means of MANPADS, are also safe.
Left video below shows the second HC-130J involved in this operation over Khark Island and the right video shows the first one near Yasuj.

Granted, my favorite priest, the former Monseigneur at the cathedral in Charleston, was in his 50s, but in the new parish, the younger ones are more observant of the rites and keeping to structure and keeping things feeling...holy instead of like some sort of festival where they are the star.
I kind of hate priests who were ordained in the 60s.

I would consider taking my kids to a Unitarian church, but luckily they aren’t interested. Your child is 6, not able to determine when adults are not telling the truth, and they obviously aren’t telling the truth. This can be confusing for kids, imho. Better to leave their minds untainted until they have some level of bullshit detector and aren’t so trusting.
This. As someone who was queer and went to an evangelicals church, I tried unaliving myself the first time at 11 years old. Sometimes you need to protect your kids from certain kinds of harmful exposure. This is one of those times.
Okay so I looked up a Unitarian Church in my area and there's one close by. I read through the whole website and watched last week's sermon. I really liked what I heard. I grew up in a religious household but it never stuck, too much curiosity. I think this will be a really good start for us!

David French's wife is just as nasty, duplicitous and vile as he is.
In 2024, she was part of a group, with millions in funding, doing "training" and outreach to evangelical churches.
It was, on the surface, nonpolitical.
But the message they were pushing, with free training, pamphlets, posterboards, and talking points, was "good Christians must support--nay, demand!--a total, federal, nationwide ban on abortion."
With heavy implication that, if a candidate (cough, cough, Trump) refused to call for a total, federal, nationwide ban on abortion, good Christians must not--can not, lest they damn their eternal soul--vote for that candidate.
Even if it means the most radical, pro-abortion candidate in history would win.

Unitarians don't believe anything, so you won't find truth there. You will find exploration of whatever anyone wants to explore. It has its lane, and actually is one of the religions not seeing declines, but it's hard to call them a religion. It's more like a social society. But truth? Ha!

It was taken from the show/comic Invincible, and specifically with Omni-Man, now labeled as "The Constitution" pummeling Invincible now labeled as "Populist legislation"
Now why is this dumb? Omni-Man is a Superman like character but from an aggressive alien empire. He is sent to earth to conquer the planet. He has a son with an earth woman who is...Invincible...who has a similar power set but wants to save the Earth's independence.
In the story [SPOILERS!] Invincible eventually wins over his father to his way of thinking, now if we take it back to the meme it completely subverts it. The Constitution, or at least judicial interpretations of it, is being controlled by a hostile alien force but given time the Populists will win out and get them to think their way...

Texas has also tightened election rules in the last few years.
The Beto thing was an odd outlier, but one where noted bad politician and hated by the local establishment still won.
In the 8 years since, the establishment GOP's opinion in the state has gotten increasingly irrelevant, ground zero being Paxton sailing through his impeachment trial and then Cornyn not able to get a majority in his primary even with a spoiler to siphon votes from Paxton.

He ejected, survived the crash, and is now safe in Iraq.
This is good news for the 48th Fighter Wing community at RAF Lakenheath—both crew members of the downed F-15E are now safe.

You're a slave to Allah, and you just have to take what your superiors give out!
When I lived in the Detroit area, one of my best friends outside a church was a disbelieving Iranian, he flat out told me that Allah is as capricious as he wants to be. And that's just that.

Christianity is about refining your behavior to be right with God, (regardless of unmerited grace and all that). To do less harm, to do more healing, more serving.
Jesus is (I think) singular in presenting the model of "servant leadership". Islam is still in the pre-Christian power mode.

I would say this even if I were not a new convert to the Roman Catholic church. After a lifetime & generations of Presbyterians (conservative).
I will never, ever, believe THIS is the only church. It was my choice & the right path for growth in my faith. One I needed and many reasons unspoken (well, one is the non-traditional services and praise music of many Protestant churches and not how I was raised. Nothing wrong with it for others, however). I am no pious saint nor hypocrite.
Thanks be to God more young people are turning to Christ with standing room only! I see this in our parish. Lots of babies, including our baby granddaughter who has gone to Mass since she was 2wks old. Many fathers holding these lovely babies and it brings joy to me.
God bless you all this Easter weekend. He died without sin for us all to have eternal life & sins forgiven. And with this blessing, we have peace and joy in this life on earth. It's the only way for this in my belief. I have never known a moment since toddlerhood without faith.
Yeah, I crack jokes like a crazy buffoon, but am trying not to cuss as much!
Love to all, and to you Ace for posting this.

And the ONLY thing that tells you that Allah is a benevolent god of "peace" is literally they just say it when they refer to him. I'm not kidding on that either. Nothing actually demonstrates it. The Koran just says it. He's most benevolent and loving. And you have to believe it. Why? Because Allah said so.

In the alternative, you make them where you feel comfortable and stay for the change you feel in your spirit. Mr. Sober hasn’t gone to Church since he was 16, he found a Church home where he is learning about scripture and feeling the love of God in an environment that resonates with him. That is something to celebrate, in my eyes.

The most charitable take on Islam is that Muhammed took his poor understanding of Judaism and used it to make Arabic paganism into a monotheistic religion.
But...even that is too positive. Muhammed after inventing his religion was still telling people it was ok to worship Arabic pagan gods.

In spite of the defeatists, who insist I am going to be forced marched to the county courthouse to recite the Shehada and that TX will go blue tomorrow, that’s not the case. It’s helpful to have state laws mandating all 254 county sheriffs work with ICE, and even the RINOs are working hard to deal with evil Islam so it can give them red meat cover to do serious harm elsewhere.

Note the recent FTC ban on Chicom or even foreign made home routers (a possible route for another Salt Typhoon penetration of US telecoms)
I also suspect that the Indian CEO of Microsoft does not have much longer to hold office either and that probably means his cronies are out as well.

The Christian construction of Islam's Allah is probably best described by Pope Benedict XVI's "Regensburg Address", which he delivered, surprisingly enough, at the University of Regensburg in September, 2006.
The address was mainly focused on the Christian challenge to Modernity, but it starts with a debate between a Byzantine emperor and a Turkish diplomat on how God engages mankind. The Christian argument is that God speaks to man through reason, while Islam places its faith in an unknowable, transcendental supreme being.
Muslim religious leaders went ballistic after the address was released, of course. Threats, demands, the usual howls of outrage. Might be worth a read.

Unlike older Leftists who attend Church, this is a conscious decision, rather than a traditional adherence to something they don't really care about, but do because their parents did and their friends' parents did, and it's where they like to hang out once a week before supporting and encouraging every imaginable sin.
The two ideas are completely incompatible. These kids will either leave the churches quickly as they came, or the politicians from "both" Parties are going to have a problem.

BTW, I had one child, raised Catholic as all of mine were, attend the University of Pittsburgh for a Bachelor degree. It's a fine school. I also sent donations to an on-campus religious group that promised a safe place for all students around the clock to talk, pray, seek other forms of assistance, and not do anything to the exclusion of parents or guardians. I think they did a decent job.
But I told that child, as I told all of mine, to always come to me whatever they were dealing with, knowing the worse I could probably do would be to yell like a banshee for awhile. (That has proven true.)
I think some of this is taking hold through the Hallow app, Catholic by intent. Some through churches such as the Sanctuary Church in Pittsburgh and the Universal Unitarian churches that are all over the country.
Sometimes it seems the Roman Catholic Church & many Protestant churches have gone heavily into emphasizing social justice, community welfare, etc., and sometimes to the detriment of founding communities and, at times, eclipsing the proclamation of the gospel and the salvation of souls.
I worry it doesn't seem a solution to anti-Semitism.

Obama-Biden Have Implemented Stealth Communism
Plus: Hobbit/LOTR Reading Progress Thread
You probably remember that Obama partially "solved" his unemployment crisis by simply changing the standards about who was eligible to collect Medicaid and disibility insurance. By the stroke of a pen, he changed administrative standards so that the chronically unemployed -- his voters, I mean -- would get paid by the government. They would of course be loyal to the man giving them free money, and putting them on these programs took them out of the unemployed pool and made the numbers look better.
Say anyone else remember "Jobs Saved and Created"? Remember, it's Trump who's the liar who makes up his own fake facts, not the demon Obama. Nic Carter wrote a post discussing Biden greatly expanding upon the Obama plan to impose socialist guaranteed income (or UBI, "Universal Basic Income," long the dream of AOC and her communist allies) -- at least for his voters. The people controlling the Biden Autopen simply ended all authentication/auditing for the billions of dollars they robbed from hardworking taxpayers to give to their cronies. Anyone who spent an hour filling out paperwork could have $500 million, with no chance of ever being caught for fraud, because Biden's Autopen turned off all fraud detection, deliberately. We blame Somali pirates for plundering us but the Democrat-Communist Party did this too us, deliberately. They could not pass a reparations bill, so they allowed all of their voters to just requisition their own personal reparations funds from taxpayers by simply opening a "hospice business" or even a "learing center." Read it all:nic carter
@nic_carter it hasn't sunk in for most people. we already live in a post-scarcity society. UBI [Universal Basic Income] is already here. basic package: disability, medicaid, food stamps etc bonus package: literally getting paid for staying at home and hanging out with your relatives extra bonus: if you are willing to commit fraud, pretend your kids are autistic and get paid for that. get paid for watching your neighbor's kid. pretend you are taking care of your grandma. fake hospice clinic. fake rehab clinic. fake therapy clinic. giga bonus: during a time of crisis take advantage of PPP or CARES and open a fake business and get paid for existing people are shocked when they learn that defense is the FIFTH largest line item in the budget. ahead of defense: social security ($1.6T), interest on debt ($1.1T) medicare ($1T), medicaid + ACA ($1T), AND THEN defense ($0.9T) complain about defense all you like, but healthcare fraud is a way bigger factor. hundreds of billions per year. this is only going to get worse, because the fraud is a structural part of the system -- payouts to client groups in exchange for votes (normally D). in the US, only 47% of the population actually works (fully 14% of the population is working age and does not work). retirees are 18% and children 22%. the system I described above subsidizes 50m non-working people absolute minimum, but really it's far more because people that are paid to stay home and take care of their relatives are considered "workers" of that 47% of "actual workers" maybe one third does real work, the rest are shuffling papers around or doing fake email jobs. so you have, rough math, 50 million actual workers supporting 300 million dependents. that's the nature of the economy today. it will only accelerate. eventually you will have 10 million using AI tools to do all the work and 340 million dependents. the reason no one roots out the fraud is because it's the system that keeps our extremely fragile polity intact. the fraud is the UBI. the purpose of the system is what it does. of course, it's a deeply unfair system, because you are allowed to commit fraud if you are a politically protected client group of the democrats. DOGE was killed faster than any government program ever, because it attempted to root out the fraud. if you are honest and unwilling to commit fraud, you are a huge loser in this system. your neighbor will have their mortgage subsidized by some government program. they will get favorable SBA loans due to DEI. they will open a fake hospice or autism clinic. they will get paid for taking care of their neighbor's kid and vice versa. the primary skill in the labor market is learning how to extract money from state and federal government programs, not gaining skills or making yourself employable. if you are just trying to work an ordinary wagie job you are a huge sucker. you are paying 40-50% effective all in taxes to everyone else who is a net taker. the sad part is because AI is such a substantial productivity boost, it will actually keep this system going for a while longer, and maybe in perpetuity. AI boosts the 15% of the population that is actually productive so much that the remaining 85% can coast by. no one in charge will change this because they can't think of anything else. the political costs of a real UBI program are too great and we don't have the money for it anyway. so we will keep this covert fraud-based UBI program running indefinitely. unfortunately, if you are an honest wagie, you lose.
it hasn't sunk in for most people. we already live in a post-scarcity society. UBI is already here.

Leading Democrat Calls for Reparations for Illegal Immigrants As Chicago and other blue cities move toward reparations for African Americans, Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D, Wa.) wants reparations for illegal immigrants for the trauma caused by immigration enforcement. At the same time, various Democrats are making clear that they want to entirely defund and eliminate Immigration and Customs Enforcement. So, after the Biden Administration allowed in millions over an open border, Democrats would eliminate ICE and some like Jayapal would pay illegal immigrants reparations. Rep. Jayapal declared on Friday:Unrelated: For those joining me on a trip to Middle Earth, how is it going? I did barely any reading the last three nights. Tuesday night I ran out for a 10 pm showing of Project Hail Mary and Wednesday and Thursday nights I worked late to write a bunch of (mostly open thread) posts for today and Monday. Today I'm going to jump back in and finish The Hobbit so I can start Fellowship by Saturday. If you haven't read the Hobbit yet, let me recommend it vigorously. It is a fast, exciting, fun, and very funny read. You may not think of Tolkien as funny because the Lord of the Rings is serious and weighty, but the Hobbit has jokes on almost every page. If you like cheeky British humor, you'll smile a lot. I think in Lord of the Rings, it took about 180 pages to get to Rivendell, and then we spent, IIRC, two (or even three) 50-70 chapters at that place. In the Hobbit, we arrive in Rivendell around page 60, and we spend six pages there. Just six. Tolkien directly addresses the reader and says that while grim, scary, and unpleasant stories may be interesting and take many pages to tell, stories of places that are lovely and welcoming and relaxing do not make for good stories, and thus are told much more quickly. He's always making these kind of playful asides to the reader. (And in LOTR, he retcons the Hobbit to divulge that it was actually written by Bilbo Baggins himself, writing in the third person but usually from the POV of Bilbo. So we learn that the amusing narrator of the book is none other than the main character himself). The book is about 320 pages and they are fast pages. If you've ever been put off by the hulking Lord of the Rings, and thought "I just can't commit to a 1,200 page book," give The Hobbit a try. To be honest, I think it's better than LOTR. I've read it about 10 times and I've only read through LOTR completely twice. (And the first time I did a lot of skimming.) Oh -- and don't compare it to the bloated movies, which padded the hell out of everything to make it move at the slower pace of LOTR. Anyway, that's where I am, just leaving Rivendell and heading for the Misty Mountains."They need to be brought before us, and they need to be held account [sic] for the trauma that they have created, and we are going to have to have some form of reparation for the kids and the families that have been traumatized through all of this."While not calling for reparations, other democrats have picked up the theme that someone has to pay for the trauma caused by immigration enforcement.

Today has been particularly heavy in it. I appreciate you giving us this little timeless (and I do mean timeless) safe haven of internet where the values of your readers and commenters are generally respected and not insulted like 99.99% of the "conservative" sites end up doing. The site has had its moments but your humor and overall sense of fairness has been the engine that drives it and keeps it going despite politics generally being a very sucky thing to talk about. I really thank God we still have this fun little place.

Although The Hobbit is certainly enjoyable and much more whimsical than LOTR, it suffers a bit from a lack of meaningful interaction between characters.
Much of the story is given as exposition, rather than shown through dialogue. For that reason, I skimmed a fair amount of The Hobbit as I wanted more characters DOING things, than having the narrator explain that the characters did some things.
I also found the pacing in LOTR far faster than I remembered. Yes, there are several chapters spent on characters standing around talking to each other, but the chapters where action is happening move FAST because Tolkien lets the reader fill in the gaps in their imagination.
Battle of the Pelennor Fields takes up less than ten pages and most of that is Theoden dying and Eowyn killing the Lord of the Nazgul.

Well...duh. If you hand people a monthly stipend for nothing what do you expect?
Also the studies show people on UBI are spend more time not working and are pickier about the jobs they take.
Again...duh.
So if the goal is to get people to work less and feel better about it UBI works.
Oh but then there is the other part. Since you are giving money away it has to come from someone with a job. So that guy, we will call him "me" here has to work more hours and more years so that some AWFL can spend her time not working. But that's "fair" right?

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.
Now, everyone is focused on the first clause which is debatable but its the second clause that is the nail in the coffin of birthright citizenship. See that final word?
RESIDE. Where they RESIDE. Illegal immigrants do not RESIDE here, they are invaders, they are squatters. Tourists do not RESIDE here. A Chinese woman who flies to US territory to drop a kid DOES NOT RESIDE THERE.

You'd have to figure that a lot of US taxpayer money is leaving the country and is going to foreign warlords to make war on each other and occasionally screw around with US interests. And I expect a lot goes to immigrants, legal and otherwise, to send back in remittances which helps placate what otherwise would be popular uprisings in certain 3rd world countries. But yes, I assume some of that money is used to keep a certain pct of regular US citizens from stealing from their neighbors to feed their addictions, preventing the need for bailouts for beverage distributors, drug dealers and gambling sites.
Now, get back to work! That money has to come from somewhere.

I'm going to reread the Hobbit and LOTR at some point this year. I might even redip my toe into Tolkien's Cookbook, "The Simarillion", which is a pretty boring load of recipes for stories but not so much stories themselves.
Currently, I just finished reading two books out of Iain M Banks' Culture series. "The Player of Games", which is very good. And "The Use of Weapons, which should be better but is just okay.
Banks Culture series owes a lot to Michael Moorcock's "Dancers at the End of Time". Both of which postulate "end stage" societies where anything is possible and everything is provided by machines.
I also think that Banks wanted to introduce a Greek/Roman mythological style interaction between "men' and gods. In this case, the gods are huge AI minds which control everything and manipulate the organic and machine life forms for often obscure goals and reason.
Both Moorcock's and Banks' takes on end-time-ish, post- scarcity societies are interesting and generally fun reads.
If it sounds like that will interest you, it will.

Always push back when someone calls them "immigrants". They aren't any kind of "immigrant". They are, as you say, invaders.

Jackson had to deal with the Army of the Dead, which in the book was only referred to in a conversation with Gimli and Legolas. But unfortunately Jackson just had them roll over the battlefield because it looked cool on screen (I didn't think so) and greatly diminished the sacrifice made by the men (and one woman) on the field of battle. Jackson kept adding things as the 3 movies went on such that only his first movie was actually any good, to this faithful book reader anyway.

Younger people do this a lot, they are on their phone while they have the TV on or a tablet running a show or movie. Now, while some respond to this phenomenon by writing their TV shows for people who are not really paying attention, so they repeat themselves a lot and explain what just happened one or more times.
But here's the thing: baseball is the perfect background viewing content. You don't have to watch every second. A good commentator will give you what you need to know. Baseball, the old school, before all the crappy changes recently, is ironically perfect for the modern era of entertainment.

If Musk had hired on as a cabinet member he would have been forced to divest all his stocks that were government related, which is in fact most of them, and that would have tanked the markets since there was so much of it.
The only upside would have been that he would not have been required to pay capital gains on it, which is still not a good compensation for the loss.

RESIDE. Where they RESIDE. Illegal immigrants do not RESIDE here, they are invaders, they are squatters. Tourists do not RESIDE here. A Chinese woman who flies to US territory to drop a kid DOES NOT RESIDE THERE.

In the books, the Army of the Dead doesn't even do any real fighting. It simply exudes a fear aura that causes Gondor's enemies to surrender or flee in terror. Aragorn actually leads an army of living warriors he's gathered on his trek across Gondor, who take over the ships of the Corsairs of Umbar to perform a sneak attack when they arrive at the Pelennor fields.

The way I heard tell is that when some Senator (author?) was contemporarily asked what was the meaning of "jurisdiction" he framed the meaning in terms of allegiance to the country in question, where some foreigner, who did not owe allegiance to a country, such as a diplomat, as one example, was not subject to the jurisdiction.
The way I read "born," is that it applied to the problematic population then in question, slaves, here, already born, whereas naturalization was a necessary inclusion in the clause, because it dealt with those here thereafter (passage of the Amendment), who sought to become citizens through legal process (e.g., pledging allegiance).

He was in a music video a few years ago by someone named Sia
In the video he and a preteen girl are dressed in flesh colored body suits in a cage and they wrestle.
The FNM tells me it was meant to show how girls wrestle with their fears, because I'm sure the average 12 year old girl thinks of her fears as a naked adult man or something.

You can. You need to be a lot more definitive in your writing.
The Court spent a huge portion of the oral arguments on the question of what does "and subject to the jurisdiction of" actually mean. I don't they ever considered the question would be left in the hands of a sub-retard who thinks having her purse stolen in Tokyo means she's really turning Japanese.

In Poul Anderson's "Brain Wave" Earth leaves a zone of space that inhibits mental function and all life on earth has an immediate spike in brain function. At one point a crew, having solved the simple issues of building an interstellar craft test it out and fly through a lobe of the 'dumb zone' and being reduced to normal intelligence can't operate their ship since their control systems rely on every crewman being able to do insane mathematical calculations in their head. Lucky for them they manage to exit the area on momentum after a bit.

If you didn’t already believe liberals are at war with the rest of the country, you should now. The rubicon hasn’t just been crossed, it’s been drained.
Right now most polls show Democrats not just taking the House but the senate. They haven’t promised an agenda. They’ve promised an active subversion of the country using the government and our corrupt court system as their punishment machine.
You should be very worried, enough that not only will you walk over broken glass to vote, but you’ll drag two people with you.

I started reading it in highschool, but I wasn't interested, it was way to heavy in the prose, and I just didn't have time for that when all I wanted to do was scope some boob, though I had already read The Hobbit in grade school. I would comment about "The Hobbit" "it's only like 120 pages if you remove the smoking of pipes and singing of songs that you just don't get anyway."
As for TLotR, I read it for the first time, I know exactly when it was October of 1997, while I was in the brig, and I read it twice while in the brigg. It took being imprisoned for me to get over my initial judgment and read one of "the great western novels" or whatever.
I liked it, Not the brigg, the books, and if it weren't for the brigg I would have bothered getting around to reading the books, so make of that whatever you will for divine intervention.

Banks' books get darker, since they start to look less at the silliness of post scarcity, and into the actions and motivations of the Minds, the ship-identities, and what they do when the organics are not around.

As a case manager, responsible for many things, but discharge was one, we had a list of real rehabs, nursing homes, home health care, and hospice facilities. Patients or families were given these lists to choose from. We then contacted a rep to come see the patient before discharge.
Of course these were not on lists, so that makes sense. But to have an entire building, in a country of capitialism, of nothing but these fake businesses is mind boggling.
I suppose no one noticed and/or reported it because they were skimming $ from the top as well.

Pete quietly disappeared after being outrageously self-assuredly bugfuck wrong about the 2016 election - and I mean so quietly that I was one of the few who noticed - then came back briefly to gloat sometime after Trump "lost" in 2020 because he was finally proven "right". Coming in now as him in a manner completely consistent with the personality, and acting just like he did in 2016 and briefly after 2020, would be a level of commitment and weirdness that even our trolls don't possess.
The fact that the behavior didn't persist across threads could be testimony that it wasn't "just" a random person trying to sully his good quietly disappearing name.

I think the way it goes is that some Dem money man gets a bank of accounts and then funnel the money through them.
I liked at the patterns of some of the deposits and it makes little sense otherwise - small amount of money on irregular time periods...so it isn't like someone sending $7 every paycheck.
But if my take is right it suddenly makes sense. Our Dem money man has 1000 Act Blue accounts to launder money through. Today he got $7000 so each account donatess $7. Four days later he gets $20000 so every account donates $20 and so on...

There is a roughly 0% chance they get the Senate.
They'd need to win ME (Collins was polling consistently 8 points behind in 2020...she won by 8 points), NC (Cooper can't get above 45% in a poll in a state he's supposedly popular in while being of the wrong party considering the voter registration changes), TX (HA!) and one more. All while holding onto GA (honestly, a sleeper of a dark horse) and MI (if that Muslim wins the primary, hoo boy).
So, noted dummy Jeffries gets a slim House majority to manage while Trump keeps the majority to approve appointments in the Senate.

Every event keeps getting dismissed as a one-off.
The most pernicious part is how all these new levels of fraud are specifically targeted at what used to be high-trust.

Next in queue is The Hobbit.

False. The democrats are polling at historically low levels of approval frm their own voters. This Iranian action will be done before summer. It will all be based upon the GOP passing the Save Act - this is a deal breaker for enough GOP voters, and how the economy moves back to the positive trend. Nothing has been decided. At the end of the day - the democrats have no issues to run on.

Congress already had Constitutional authority to draft Legislation for Naturalization. So yeah, if Congress wrote a bill to Naturalize virtually anyone born in the US, and El Presidente signs it into law, OK.
And duel citizenship did not exist until after (and because of) the 19th Amendment.

There are two parties with very stark differences. We see that every day. The Democrats basically want to do away with the republic and punish dissent using the government as their weapon. They want to steal taxpayer finds and give it to their supporters who will help undermine the country.
And you're saying that people voting to give Democrats the House isn’t a big deal. You couldn’t be more wrong. Republicans should be running away with this election. This shouldn’t even be close. The lack of Republicans voting and the sorry state of the GOP and their GOTV is pathetic.

Well, historical patterns show that out of power parties just perform better in midterms. It's how things happen.
Not even Obama's people could figure out how to reverse that.
What can a slim House majority do? Impeach Trump? Oh no. Another impeachment. Not even after 1/6 could the Senate find 67 Senators to kick Trump out of politics forever during his second impeachment trial.
Democrats coming up with bullshit for 6 months in hearings no one cares about and sending impeachment articles to the Senate,...controlled by Republicans, will lead to...what?
Come on. Not every election is the most important in the world.
2026 is honestly not very important.
2028 will be important. 2026? Not really, especially since border enforcement is fully funded through 2028.

Very tough to make House predictions due to the uncertainty of redistricting. I think the end result will be a narrow majority for one of the parties. Far too many of these seats are totally noncompetitive, which is one of the reasons why the House -- both parties -- mostly doesn't give a shit about its voters.

Paying people to stay home with a severely disabled relative is a cost-saving device.
We have a friend in her 80s who home-cares her severly-disabled daughter. She is paid around $25/hr for probably 20-30 hrs/wk.
If that daughter were in a group home, the home would be paid far, far more for someone who requires this level of care. An in-home living company would be paid even more and a a state facility would be astronomically expensive.

Some of the headlines:
• The former Executive Director of the Office of Electronic Health Record Modernization (OEHRM) was recently indicted for alleged failure to disclose his receipt of thousands of dollars in cash, casino chips, gift cards, and other gifts from contractors while leading this $16 billion project.
• The nephew of a quadriplegic veteran, who was supposedly residing with and providing care for his uncle, was sentenced to 156 months’ imprisonment after concealing his uncle's death for several years and stealing over $1.8 million of the veteran’s VA and Social Security benefits.
• The owner of a barbering and cosmetology school was sentenced to 96 months’ imprisonment and ordered to pay restitution to VA of approximately $2.9 million after being found guilty by a federal jury of enrolling veterans in classes without providing any actual instruction or training.

• A defendant pleaded guilty to stealing VA compensation benefits totaling approximately $225,000 intended for an elderly veteran who was unable to manage his own money.
• A charity founder and four employees submitted falsified documentation as part of a pension application fraud scheme, costing VA $20 million, and improperly demanded payments from veterans for pension benefits for which they were not actually entitled.

See, most of us when we come into the thread know it's polite to address the thread first. Call ace gay and lame. Maybe comment on some retarded dem or make a David French cuck joke before we go completely off topic. He'd come in and immediately go off topic- which miffed the cobs- even if it was over 100. He was warned about it, but for whatever reason could not grok that social nicety (which was the key to pretty much everything with him.)

Iran Claims It Shot Down an F-15 Fighter and Is Searching for the Pilots
Is this true? Well, Iran media has no credibility, except with the corrupt American propaganda media.
Iran shot down what appears to be a fighter plane on Friday, Iranian state media reported, in what would be the first time that Tehran downed an American jet since the war broke out five weeks ago. The search and rescue is underway for two service members. The Hill has reached out to the U.S. Central Command, which oversees the U.S. military's actions in the region, for comment. Iranian state media released photos purportedly showing parts of the plane, indicating it was a U.S. F-15 fighter jet. Tasnim News Agency, the semiofficial news outlet affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, reported that the U.S. sent out a C-130 Hercules plane and Black Hawk helicopters to look for the crew.Axios claims "a source familiar with the incident" -- no statement whether the "source" is American or enemy comms from Iran -- confirms the shoot-down. Their new headline claims the US (or, perhaps, Israel) has successfully "rescued" one of the two pilots and continue searching for the other:
U.S. fighter jet shot down in Iran: One crew member rescued, search for other ongoingIf it's true that we have spec ops in the area and they found one pilot, the chances are good that they will also locate the other, who probably isn't more than a few miles from his partner. But I don't know if any of this is true. I guess the US is refusing to confirm the reports, but you'd expect the US to refuse comment until the situation is resolved. This is one of the two disaster scenarios I've been fearing (if true). The other is that an Iranian missile gets very, very lucky and manages to badly damage a $13 billion aircraft carrier, which would immediately reduce US air power and also be a huge propaganda victory encouraging the left-wing (and pseudo-rightwing) anti-American agitators to demand we leave the mullahs to slaughter their citizens and bomb our allies in peace. Because America's enemies are justified in using force to advance their political position, whereas America (and Israel!) of course are never so justified, ever, never ever ever.
On X, a picture of an ejector seat allegedly found by Iran was posted. But people claimed it was a fake and did not look like a bona-fide Air Force ejector seat.

We're all Open Source Intelligence Officers now, aren't we? If this is true -- and I don't know that it is -- one thing that may help the missing pilot(s) is the warm regard many, but not all, Iranians have for the US/Israeli action against the Islamic Occupational Army of Iran. I hope everyone is having a Good Friday!

Plus, the shadows of the guy taking the pic and the shadows (or lack thereof) of the seat don't line up. Looks photoshopped to me.
I'm not sure the observation that there are no footprints is valid, though. The pilot ejects from the seat long before it hits the ground. There would probably be some disturbance when the seat hit the ground, though.

The Israeli loss rate, AFAIK 0/X - no losses - is obviously unprecedented and historic (using the terms properly). Amazing.
Every war and situation is different (something I notice that almost everyone has great trouble understanding), but there has never been an air campaign of this scope with this level of losses (almost zero).

We have A-10s, C-130s and more in the SAR effort.
C-130s over Iran!, and within range of ground (rifle) fire.
CENTCOM is silent, so far. So is Iran.
Iranians saying the hunt is on, with a $30,000 reward. Iranians misidentified the plane as F-35. It is from the "Panthers" 49th Fighter Sqdn, out of the UK.

“Cover-Up”: Pentagon Is Downplaying Troop Casualties Under Trump | An investigation found the Department of Defense sent outdated statements about the number of troops wounded or killed in Iran.
Iran has hit multiple US targets in the region with great precision. US soldiers were stationed at the military bases that are now deemed uninhabitable. It's entirely plausible it resulted in more casualties then we have been led to believe. Truth is not really a virtue of the US government, especially the current one.
Im sure the general that JUST GOT FIRED, WARNED about this! It GUARANTEES trump and Hegseth will do whatever idiotic thing needed to cause unnecessary significant casualties
Hegseth is Trump's out for the Iran war. Noem was his out for the ICE shit. Bondi is his out for Epstein files handling, Hegseth will be his excuse for the shitshow in Iran.
he’s doing exactly what he’s there for. Purge the military of good senior officers and commit war crimes. Until he stops both of those he ain’t going anywhere. He’s the scapegoat for Iran backlash too.

Our loss rate in Iran is a testament to our prowess in the air, and well-maintained aircraft.
We've lost 16 UAVs, 4 fighters, one KC-135. 21 total.
Well, and some ground losses. The E-3 was the one that hurt.

I'm quite familiar with our Carrier (and LHD/A - they're the same systems) anti-ship missile defense (ASMD). It was my specialty in the Navy. 1) They don't go anywhere without a screening group against air, surface, and submarine threats, and those are positioned along the likely axes those threats are expected. They would initially engage any threat to the High Value Unit (HVU). In case of "leakers" (missiles that get past the screen),. the Carrier has three layers of defense by itself: radar guided Enhanced Sea Sparrow (ESSM), IR/RF seeking Rolling Airframe Missile (RAM), and radar guided CIWS at 4500 rounds per minute. Those can all be manual controlled, but the Ship's Self Defense System (SSDS) was developed to enable automated doctrine to employ all of those systems. It's pretty robust, and it includes the Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC) which allows all ships in the network to fire at a threat even if it doesn't have the track itself.
I'm not going to tell you any numbers for obvious reasons.

1) Yeah they have beacons they can activate and also handheld radios to communicate with SAR.
2) Maybe, sometimes? They all attend SERE school so they learn how to Survive and Evade capture, or in the worst case Resist interrogation and attempt to Escape if possible. They will do what they can to aid their own rescue if they aren't injured.

Trump is asking for $1.5T for DOW in the 2027 budget...to say that's a lot is an understatement (we just broke $1T in 2026's budget). But it's the cost when you fight a war.

And there was the case back in the 80s of an African minister who allegedly ejected both from a trainer (seats are linked, one is activated, there's a delay and the other then fires) during a familiarization flight. Pilot had to have been rather, um, surprised. Long time ago but I think it was Zimbabwe and that small British trainer whose name I forget but resembled the Italian and German ones (like an Alpha jet).

I don't really know.
It is a cultural AF thing to not disperse aircraft, I assume to make servicing easier. This goes back to Clark Field in 1941.
We showed in Gulf War 1 that hardened shelters were no defense. There was a Patriot available, don't know about drone defenses.
And we may have a lot of aircraft there, so no real dispersal possible.

Army Chief of Staff is a high ranking staffer, not battlefield commander which indicates the utter stupidity of leftists and military matters beyond transing troops.
Part of what may have gotten him fired was that he axed the prepositioned Merchant Marine supply ships for Marines and Army under Biden. Those ships would be useful for any actual invasions, even small ones rather than waiting on a lengthy sea voyage. See Konrad on X for more of that internal Pentagon dispute.

If I understand how the 'modern' military works, the Army Chief of Staff - who was the General relieved, I believe - doesn't actually command the troops and wouldn't be involved in the invasion even if the Army became involved.

IF these videos are from Iran, and current. But they look legit. Day-time - and I don't know when the aircraft went down.
Also one knowledgeable comment I saw said that the squadron involved was flying 30+ year-old F-15s, and suggested that age/mechanical incident was likely, though I can't address that.

The usual suspects are breathless about this, predicting massive gun fights on bases and dead people all over the place. They think it means that soldiers will walk around with a rifle and sidearm like they're on combat patrol or something, and that soldiers are stupid, violent, and crazed killers who cannot wait to shoot something.

If this war costs the Republicans the Congress in 2026, and then costs the White House in 2028, and President Newsome proudly signs into the law the American Rejuvenation Act of 2029 which provides amnesty for every illegal immigrant and legalizes the immigration of millions per year, thus permanently destroying the Republican Party as a national political force then was this war worth it?
You win elections by being on the public's side on the issues. Either by changing your party platform to align with the majority view, or by persuading the people that your views are correct. Going against the majority view, and not even attempting to persuade the public, is how you end up with massive electoral losses.
The Iraq War led to the disaster of Obama. If the Iran War leads to President Ocasio Cortez, backed by a Congressional majority, then the historic American nation will cease to exist. The midterms are already lost, but if this war can be wrapped up quickly, we have a chance of holding the White House in 2028.

Everyone seems to have forgotten we assembled, what?, half a million troops to invade Iraq, and it took six months to do it. Iran is several times larger. So we'd need more manpower (and no allies), and it would probably take longer to set up.
And of course Trump hasn't suggested any interest in doing it.

Trump should give up on any sort of long term goals in terms of governing because there might be a short term blowback.
This is the kind of thinking that led Democrats to say, "You know what? We shouldn't let it 15 million people into the country in 4 years. What if we lose the midterms? We can only do long term effective change if we hold onto Congress during the midterms."

Air Force fighter jet jockeys run the service and they hated A-10s for decades. They want to zoom when CAS needs a much slower plane that can take enormous punishment yet dish it out on the cheap. In a peer war, we are NOT going to have endless supplies of hitech and expensive missile systems to fight with. Even now, Tomahawks and other expensive missiles and/or precision ordnance are running short. Fortunately we can use old dumb bombs or JDAM equipped instead of standoff weapons with Iran now.
Jet Jockeys always are wanting new fighter aircraft or to a lesser extent bombers out there as a budget issue rather than the pedestrian airlift aircraft, tankers, our AF nuclear land missiles, and CAS support.

Like you, the IRGC is not a credible negotiation partner. They lie, hide things, misrepresent things, and renounce any position that they accept to keep some sort of "moral" upper hand.
When such a lying and dishonest party to a negotiation appears, sometimes the only solution is to bomb them until they decide to approach either reality or at least admit they are wrong about some things instead of arrogantly claiming the win for making the other parties give up in disgust.

It's not like firing McClellan or Fredendall, generals in the field who are losing or performing below expectations. The Chief is an admin position and adviser...I'm guessing some of his advice or predictions weren't accurate.
Interestingly, a Google summary shows Hegseth has relieved several senior leaders, most recently and of highest importance:
Hegseth also removed two other senior Army generals: Gen. David Hodne, head of the Army’s Transformation and Training Command, and Maj. Gen. William Green Jr., the Army’s Chief of Chaplains. The moves are part of a broader purge of top military officials since Hegseth took office, including the Air Force Vice Chief of Staff, the Chief of Naval Operations, and the previous Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

And yes I've been saying this from Day 1, it's not a retroactive justification. And anyone with a lick of sense knows it's true. His true end game cannot be known and will only be seen afterward.

🚨BREAKING: The Islamic regime is now importing hundreds of battle-hardened Iraqi militias into the country to brutally suppress its own people.
These foreign fighters — loyal to Tehran’s terrorist network — are flooding across the borders RIGHT NOW, armed and ready to crush any uprising attempting to end this blood-soaked dictatorship.

We're beyond all of that now, the administration has initiated kinetic operations, we are for all intents and purposes at war with Iran, the stated end goal is regime change, we are not going to change the regime from the air no matter how many Cardboard Ayatollahs we take out, Iran still has the ability and opportunity to initiate attacks against the US, Israel and the surrounding region.

We basically have never bombed a country back to the Stone Age like we have been capable of doing for quite some time. Destroy Kharg Island complex, Iran loses the ability to export 90 percent of its oil. Do bombing raids on occasion whenever it appears that the Iranians are trying to rebuild missile or obtain that uranium or even the Chicoms/Russians trying to smuggle some new shit in for them. Note that the Russians are requesting safe passage for their techs leaving Bushehr (sp) nuke plant because it is likely that we are going to take it offline in the new future.

And there is a reason that the Iraqi militias are going to be hated and called in for air strikes. They are Arabs, most of the important areas of Iran are Persians. They dislike Arabs in the first place and Arab mercenaries for the regime are viewed as lower than low.

There was a great X thread last weekend mulling the possibility of an A-10X or A-11 (naming is flexible, obviously) that was a new plane with upgrades made possible by 50 years of new technology. But also the same philosophy of being a BRRRRRT delivery system with an armored tub to protect the pilot and redundant systems.

It would be the height of foolishness to go after the average Iranian man in the street now, when he's turned definitively against the mullahs and the IRGC. As gratifying as it might be, we need to show the average Persian that we're not the monsters they've been told we are all their lives. It will make our job much, much easier.

I'm tired of you faggots threatening to defect to the left to blackmail us into joining you. Fuck you. You're all Nick Fuentes cunts anyway who either vote for Democrats or third party extremists or can't vote because you have records or don't want the government to know where you live.

I'm a boring ass white dude who votes Republican in every election. If the electorate was composed of "readers of this website" we wouldn't even be having this conversation. But that's not reality. Reality is that the single most popular part of the Democratic platform is peace. It gets them elected, and then once elected they advance their communist agenda.
Calling me names doesn't change political reality. Republicans get absolutely shellacked in swing districts every time the country is at war. That's how we got Obama and his "fundamental transformation", because the Iraq War bogged down, leading to the 2006 midterms, and then he got into office and had the votes to pass his agenda into law.

Heh. Now do C5A's, our tanker fleet, and B-52's. And our archaic heavy lift copters in the USAF and Navy.
B-2's are a perfect example of a plane that needs expensive care about like the Space Shuttle when launched on missions.
We have a sustained procurement problem in the services that whichever mafia has the biggest share of the general officers dictates what is to be bought which then fits the rest of our strategy around whatever they think is important.
And the fact for the Air Force is that drones and perhaps hypersonic and/or surface to surface missiles are going to be the future rather than the rather expensive and increasingly unnecessary pilots in harms way. The Navy with carrier groups and the Army with tanks are also going to need to revise plans in an era of cheap missiles and drones.

THE MORNING RANT: My Gripe Against Hollywood – the Unintelligible, Artistic Mumble
Hollywood is not my normal beat. I once wrote a piece about David Zaslav’s looting of Warner Bros Discovery after he ran the company into the ground while extracting generational wealth for himself. But in general, I am happy to keep up with the business of Hollywood by following Christian Toto (Hollywood in Toto), George MF Washington’s Hollywood-insider substack (The Continental Congress) and by reading Ace’s accounts of Disney’s self-immolation.
So, with Ace and them fighting the political fight involving Hollywood, I’d like to weigh in on another subject related to the industry - I can’t understand half the dialogue in the shows I stream. Dear Hollywood: Enough with the artistic mumble. Watching streaming series is a relatively new thing for my wife and me. Both of us fell out of the habit of watching TV series several decades ago, and it was only in the past five years or so that we’ve picked up the habit again here in the streaming era. On weekend nights when we’re not out, we enjoy watching a couple episodes of whatever show we’re following, but I sometimes feel like giving up on it since half of the dialogue nowadays is barely intelligible. The problem is not a hearing issue. At my office, I’m sometimes involved in whispered conversations about semi-confidential matters. There are also women who talk in vocal fry. In office meeting there is overlapping chatter. In all these circumstances, everyone is still understandable. The problem is not my ears. I’m not sure if Hollywood is full of actors who no longer know how to articulate, or if it’s sound engineers who make the actors’ speech inaudible, or some combination of the two. The speaking affectation in modern shows seems to be equal parts mumble, whisper, and vocal fry. I cannot turn my TV up loud enough for some conversations to be greater than a whisper, or understandable. I might think it was my TV, but we replaced a TV recently, and nothing changed. Even more telling, the speech in news and sports broadcasts is still loud, crisp, and easily understood, as are old sitcoms and TV series. At times I wonder if there is a “mumble filter” through which Hollywood sound engineers are now subjecting audio. My wife and I were very late to the series “Justified.” We watched the original series just about the time the 2023 reboot, “City Primeval,” came along. We never had any problem understanding what was being said in the original Justified, but the reboot was almost completely unintelligible. Almost all speaking was a barely audible mumble, and even Timothy Oliphant now sounded like he was whispering through a mouth full of marbles, unlike in the original series. Was a conscious decision made to have spoken words be mostly inaudible? People do not talk like this in real life. This Hollywood speaking affectation is just as fake as the Mid-Atlantic accent of Hollywood’s golden era – but at least we could understand what was being said in those old movies. It’s also noteworthy that despite the prevalence of the “artistic mumble,” there are still actors who will not be mumbled. Billy Bob Thornton speaks slowly and clearly, and I never have any trouble understanding him. Jamie Lee Curtis has been in several shows we’ve watched recently. She still projects her voice and speaks with authority. There is far more art in their performances than from those actors who are mumbling lines without breathing or moving their lips. Please, Hollywood, I’m willing to consume your product. Can you have your actors and sound engineers retire the artistic mumble before I give up on Hollywood again?Comments

Netflix shows are particularly effected by this issue. Along with all the other Woke BS they regularly inject into every show.

Recently Heroes & Icons, the TV channel running all the Trek series, lost its closed-captioning. I was able to understand all the lines in TOS (to be fair, I know many of them by heart), 99% of those in TNG, and 90% of those in DS9. When Linda brings a modern movie from the library for us to watch, I wince -- mumbling dialogue and murky lighting everywhere. I suspect they are trying in part to cover poor special effects and acting.

One night was talent night. There were many kids who sang and played guitars. The highlight of the evening, though, was when some of the Japanese kids came out in large inflatable sumo outfits (basically beach balls worn around the body) and spent their time running into and bouncing off of each other. They brought the house down.

Used to be that the production company would hire a bunch of crew to hold boom mics just out of frame to capture vocals. That is vastly more expensive than pinning a hidden lavalier mic inside someone's shirt, but the audio capture also sucks orders of magnitude harder.

💥 TWO SOMALI-AMERICAN JUDGES ARRESTED IN MINNEAPOLIS DAWN RAID: 3.25 TONS OF COCAINE & $1.5 BILLION JUDICIAL FRAUD NETWORK EXPOSED
At 4:18 a.m., over 200 federal agents stormed 17 locations across Minneapolis and St. Paul, shattering the sanctity of the justice system.
The targets: sitting federal judges Amina Hassan and Khaled Osman — a married couple who allegedly used their courtrooms to shield the Sinaloa and CJNG cartels.

My pet peeve, texting in movies and tv shows. I stop the video to catch the entire 'coversation.' Just put freaking huge subtitles on the bottom of the screen. Worst thing ever for movies.

Fast footwork by the SAR community and their supporting air components. A plane crew in Iranian hands - ** Shudder**
We have A-10s, C-130s and more in the SAR effort.
C-130s over Iran, and within range of ground (rifle) fire.
CENTCOM is silent, so far. So is Iran.
Iranians saying the hunt is on, with a $30,000 reward. Iranians misidentified the plane as F-35.

💥 TWO SOMALI-AMERICAN JUDGES ARRESTED IN MINNEAPOLIS DAWN RAID: 3.25 TONS OF COCAINE & $1.5 BILLION JUDICIAL FRAUD NETWORK EXPOSED
At 4:18 a.m., over 200 federal agents stormed 17 locations across Minneapolis and St. Paul, shattering the sanctity of the justice system.
Right. The federal agents shattered the sanctity of the justice system. Not the corrupt judges.

This started becoming an issue when sound went from analog to digital, and production teams started not caring about audio levels or sound mixing. It's why you can watch a movie shot in the 70s or 80s on TV without having to adjust your volume, but more modern movies blast the sound effects and musical score through your TV when set at low volume but require you turn your volume up another 10-15 notches to hear what people are saying.

When we lived in Michigan, our next door neighbors were the parents of Jeff Nordling, who played the FBI agent in '24'.
Jeff and his dad came over to the house one time when Jeff was visiting his parents. He wanted to see our Bullmastiff because he was considering getting one as a family pet. (He wound up getting an English Mastiff, instead). He told me the next season of '24' had just been green-lighted. I told him to tell Kiefer Sutherland to stop mumbling. He just laughed.

This is a gross misread of what Newsom is doing.
He's, at best, trying to be the Democrats' Trump by being vulgar and confrontational.
But, he combines that with being completely brainless and unable to think his way out of a paper bag, so his stated policies change based on the interview. "Oh, yeah, we should protect girls in sports," to "Oh, yeah, trans-girls are the only real girls" in back to back interviews.

I, too, am enjoying the Marshals show, along with several other Taylor Sheridan series. Landman is especially good, IMO.
I also recently started on Yellowstone, but you know what? I may not finish it. If I'd seen it first, I don't know that I've have tried any of his other stuff.

I think I've tossed in this bit of insider info at some point in the past, but it bears repeating;
A lot of what has happened to the former various bits of Warner Bros can be attributed to a crack-smoking scheme that ATT sold everyone (by which I mean execs, boards, etc) about a decade ago on about how they were going to try and turn into some world-spanning evil panopticon focusing on hoovering up customer data and leveraging it to magically drive consumers to their products, services, and content.
All manner of bizarre shuffling in their business units and product offerings resulted from this. The primary goal became "get an app/user presence for as many users and devices as possible", trusting that they'd just... somehow be able to do something with the info they collected.
Obviously this was fucking retarded, and I'm not sure if they were serious or if it was just cover for the usual golden parachute bullshit.

If there was a show from the '60s that needs closed captioning, it's I Spy. I grew up with it and love it; the buddy comedy dialogue between Kelly and Scotty is fantastic. But you need to be able to hear it or read it. They both were kind of murmurers sometimes when working on that show. Culp by himself was excellent at enunciation.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced the arrest of Jordanian national Salah Sarsour in Milwaukee. Sarsour, who is President of the Board of Directors of the Islamic Society of Milwaukee (ISM) — Wisconsin’s largest mosque, is being held in ICE custody in Indiana.
Sarsour is also a board member of the national pro-Palestinian advocacy organization American Muslims for Palestine (AMP).
DHS says Sarsour is a terrorist and was convicted of throwing Molotov cocktails at the homes of Israeli soldiers. Sarsour then allegedly lied on his U.S. immigration applications to obtain a green card under President Bill Clinton.

I do need the captions on I Spy (and just about everything else) now, but I saw that show during its first runs back in the mid-60s and don't recall ever having trouble making out the dialog. I'm beginning to think that there's a slight possibility that I am becoming a certified old guy.

I've had several xrays of my back over the years and no one has really found anything or said anything is 'wrong.'
However, now, I can feel things moving, which is a bit unsettling. I can get on the inversion table, lay back 3/4 vertical and push to stretch everything real good. I feel it pop back into where it feels great. I go about 10 minutes and if I can go back horizontal without it popping back, it feels great.
Then a movement moves whatever back out of whack and it's unsettling. I can't really point to a thing that I did to really piss it off, but this is the worst it's been.

He's, at best, trying to be the Democrats' Trump by being vulgar and confrontational.
But, he combines that with being completely brainless and unable to think his way out of a paper bag, so his stated policies change based on the interview. "Oh, yeah, we should protect girls in sports," to "Oh, yeah, trans-girls are the only real girls" in back to back interviews.

Our TV at home was a simple mono set, for one thing, and it was right near the window unit A/C. Both of these made nearly everything hard to distinguish. That said, *most* of the Kelly-Scotty dialog was just fine.

I'm still in the 50s. Their horror movies, which people know the company for, will start for me soon with The Curse of Frankenstein.
So far, it's been more than 40 cheap movies, mostly BBC radio serial adaptations and noirs. A handful of comedies and even a couple of musicals.
There have been a handful of joys, but it's mostly...content. B-movies (in the literal sense) just made to quickly make small profits and keep cash flow positive from one production to the next.
I'm hoping I enjoy things more consistently once Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee get brought on.

USS Boxer ARG departed Pearl on Wednesday, reportedly heading for the ME. That's about three weeks of sailing before arriving in the NAS/GOO. And that assumes the Boxer ARG doesn't port in Diego Garcia first, as did the Tripoli ARG before in-chopping to Fifth Fleet AOR.

One old wooden toolbox stuffed with flowers and a rough cross that Hubbymayhem made. In front of that are three painted pots for the eggs. And a little vintage painted wooden bunny.
If I ever get the eggs right it should look pretty.... um, pretty.

Eh, it’s been open season on Whitey for decades now. Everyone was too frightened to mention this in polite company, for the mortal fear of being called “racist”. It is absolutely hilarious to watch “liberals” dance around the issue of avoiding, ah, certain demographics and their customary vibrancy.
30 or 40 years ago the academics were complaining that whitey was moving to the suburbs or rural states to avoid high crime and general enshittification of the society. It’s no accident that decades later Barky and the Boys in particular employed a process where they flooded suburban and rural areas with their favorite illegal aliens. “You will be made to care” kind of mentality.

Strange to get into the stage of life where relatives and friends begin dying -- when the rhetorical idea of death becomes real. I've lost my dad, two aunts, and an uncle in the last year. People who are constant fixtures in one's life. And the idea that this is not the end finally starts to come clear. Jesus said to the guy on the cross, "Today you'll be with me in paradise." First, the thief was unremarkable apart from his deference to Christ. Second, when the Creator of the Universe calls what is awaiting us "paradise," you KNOW it's going to be good!

Yes… as the years go by I understand more and more that verse in the Bible that says: What is your life but a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanisheth away.
Nothing here is permanent but eternity is reality.

The Morning Report — 4/3/26
She probably wasn’t as bad as her detractors think she was (her job is harder than most realize), but she wrongfooted herself so badly there was no recovery. . . I must admit that I had a problem with Bondi from the get-go because of her involvement in the 2012 George Zimmerman case. Zimmerman was acquitted because he acted in self-defense, something that was always obvious if one paid attention to the facts without being blinded by racial politics. Bondi was the Florida AG at the time, and she supported Angela Corey, the special prosecutor who indicted Zimmerman. . . Since Bondi took over, there have been two complaints: First, she’s failed to bring any indictments against the Democrats who have played fast and loose with the law since Trump’s first day in office. Second, she’s failed to bring any indictments in connection with the Epstein matter or even to name names. . . Whether a victim of circumstances, misspeaking, or genuine boneheadedness, Bondi wasn’t working, so today, Trump made a very kind announcement that she’s out: Pam Bondi is a Great American Patriot and a loyal friend, who faithfully served as my Attorney General over the past year. Pam did a tremendous job overseeing a massive crackdown in Crime across our Country, with Murders plummeting to their lowest level since 1900. We love Pam, and she will be transitioning to a much needed and important new job in the private sector, to be announced at a date in the near future, and our Deputy Attorney General, and a very talented and respected Legal Mind, Todd Blanche, will step in to serve as Acting Attorney General. . .Given the vicissitudes of politics, it is reasonable to ask did Bondi screw the pooch or was she handed a pre-screwed pooch to begin with when she got pinned with the badge as America's top cop? And depending upon what happens in Iran as well as the midterms, when It comes time for this President to depart the Oval Office come late January of 2029, we may very well be asking the very same question. As the saying goes "Personnel is Policy," and especially in his first term, President Trump made some horrible choices for his cabinet and other key advisors. To his credit, Hegseth, Rubio and Zeldin have been outstanding, and I envision the first two as potential if not likely presidential candidates, if not in 2028 then certainly 2030 and beyond. Moving on to the immigration situation, as CBD and I discussed on the latest episode of the podcast linked here as well as in the sidebar and on the popular platforms listed at the bottom of the post, we were talking about the complete bastardization of the 14th amendment vis a vis birthright citizenship for the spawn of illegal aliens and other non-citizens who intentionally or otherwise give birth on our territory and then voila, instant American! In that vein, we have a story that might otherwise fly under the radar but for its implications in the broader immigration debate as it pertains to our national security and identity, both of which are interrelated because when you lack the latter you lose the former and vice versa.
“There’s a high bar to denaturalization.” There isn’t really. We mostly choose not to pursue denaturalization. Yes, past Supreme Court decisions have made denaturalization more difficult than it was ever meant to be, but mostly we don’t even try. Here’s what happens when we do try. . . . “Gaining citizenship after committing serious crimes against the American people is an unacceptable abuse of our immigration system,” said Attorney General Pamela Bondi. “These latest denaturalizations illustrate this Department of Justice’s focus on ensuring that citizenship remains a privilege to obtain, not a right to abuse.” That’s the important precedent being set here. The actions of the two spies were not even extraordinary. Sadly a huge chunk of Chinese Communist ‘students’ and ‘researchers’ operating in the United States are doing the exact same things.
For decades, the Chi-Coms in particular have been actively promoting so-called "birth tourism" sending pregnant Chinese women to America for the specific purpose of giving birth here so that their little bastards can become automatic citizens and then ultimately Red Chinese agents, actively working to undermine us from within via espionage/sabotage as and when directed or merely to vote en masse as a bloc to influence our elections by putting in office leftist traitors. And so with the above, it perhaps puts the tenure of Pam Bondi as AG in a bit more flattering light. And if we are willing to denaturalize those who abrogated their oath of citizenship by betraying us then perhaps we can do this en masse to however many thousands of Somalis, Afghanis, and other third-world turncoats who never had any intention of assimilating but of at a minimum being leeches and at worst, fifth columnists. So, fare thee well Pam Bondi and thank you for this and laying the groundwork for more of this. Hopefully your successor will do exactly this. And speaking of Red Chinese agents and scumbag degenerate traitors:
California's top Democratic gubernatorial candidate has plenty of problems with his residency, his primary residence mortgage issues, and his lovelorn involvement with a Chinese spy who helped him pick his congressional staff. His lack of fitness for office, though, is all the worse because of his financial problems, including some bizarre and outrageous campaign expenses and failure to file his taxes on time, along with an unverified social media report claiming that he sexually harassed interns and then paid them off by forcing them to sign non-disclosure agreements. . . . . . According to JustTheNews: California governor candidate Democrat Rep. Eric Swalwell's finances show that he delayed paying his federal taxes, and spends the most on child care in the House with campaign funds. Swalwell and his wife, Brittany, made an average income of more than $444,000 from 2021 to 2024, which included cash-raising moves such as drawing down retirement accounts, delaying federal tax payments, and spending on child care with campaign funds, according to tax returns and campaign finance filings, the Sacramento Bee reported. The Swalwells' income puts them in the top 5% of households in Washington, D.C., where the couple owns a $1.2 million home, in addition to the congressman renting a room in Livermore, Calif., owned by another family.Lest we forget his consorting and cavorting with a known Red Chinese Spy Fang-Fang which earned him the nickname Yum Yum during a Congressional hearing last year but considering who she is and works for, makes it not a matter for levity. Denaturalizing immigrant fraudsters like the aforementioned and please God BRO-FO OMAR and her ilk is one thing. Treason trials for Swalwell and everyone like him should also be a priority, if not a pipedream.
Lastly, here's wishing all of you a Blessed Easter! Have a great weekend!
And a quick shout-out and a huge thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

- Douglas Murray: Across the Middle East and Europe there has been a long-standing awareness that this action was going to have to happen someday. It’s just that few countries were willing to do anything about it. One of the only people who admitted this publicly was the Chancellor of Germany, who said last summer when American and Israeli pilots first headed towards Iran’s reactors that they were doing the world’s “dirty work” on behalf of everyone else. That is absolutely true.

Absent this, economic collapse will be very difficult to avoid.

Well, of course that’s the rub. The people did vote initially. “We’re not gonna pay for that”.
But this ruling and others incentivized illegal migration no way around it. Cost shifting, always on the backs of the taxpayer. The states don’t have the printing press. Society gets more of what you subsidize, and they have de facto turned illegal migration into a gargantuan money laundering operation. Cheap, or cheaper labor. “Expert economists” ‘splain how destroying our manufacturing sector is awesome. The whole thing is just perverted and wicked.

To actively manage a department, you have to a) have reliable undersecretaries in place, b) familiarity with the department without being captured by the swamp c) a willingness to be the president's enforcer on lower level employees and force them out if they are not doing what they should be doing.
State officials made into secretaries of departments are outsiders but then often have to fight a hostile bureaucracy and sometimes their own underlings. Many, like Trump's first EPA director in term 1, get destroyed early on by a Democrat bureaucracy. Others just go native to keep their permanent DC ties and opportunities like Mark Esper.
DoJ is particularly dysfunctional for the GOP as lawyers nowadays are predominately of the left from law school, undergraduate, social networks, and temperament. So every GOP DoJ appointee, unless acceptable aka moderate left to the lawyer bureaucrats, is far right wing. Hard to get GOP conservative change agents as DAs in place.

It soon became apparent however that these would be extremely dangerous experimental test flights, and the initial requirements were that only military test pilots with advanced engineering degrees need apply. There was a further benefit in that they all had extensive medical documentation and they were previously vetted for security and background checks.
The Kennedy administration to their credit pushed very hard for a “minority” or black astronaut. The problem was finding a qualified individual. In those days, there was a general sentiment by the leaderships that they had no problem with this. It wasn’t “racism” however they were insistent that they were not going to skip over more qualified candidates simply to meet “diversity goals”.

Do you think that funding 'education' wouldn't get massive bi-partisan support? Do you think that any Republican would call for depriving poor brown children - who shouldn't be in the country - of an education at someone else's expense?
While the quoted statement is correct, the issue is that too many people in this country have a say about where money goes which costs them nothing. Voters who pay no taxes vote for Congress people who don't care how many trillions in debt they send us. Everyone wants their cookie NOW and they expect someone else to pay for it.

The center to DC corruption is the Senate. That is why the base voters of the GOP cannot have good things. And they protect themselves purposefully by putting in their cronies in as District Attorneys in the State and District Court judges. One way to do that is to let the Dems do a number on any GOP nominee that threatens the grift, the second is to simply use procedural matters like the idiotic and anti constitutional blue slip policy to deny the President the ability to appoint the district attorneys that they want. Blue slip was adopted by the Dems back in Woodrow Wilson's term to screen out any politician that wanted desegregate the South and yet Grassley views it as sacrosanct despite the wavering rule.
Then you have the evil hold system where one Senator can put a 'hold' on any or all nominees to prevent voting.
The US Senate is the architect of institutional corruption on a vast scale involving domestic and foreign affairs. Caligula's horse would be an improvement.

Democrats have always been corrupt, it is the very DNA of the party. GOP is split between corrupticans and virtuous but the corrupticans always side with Democrats to keep government corruption going. That it the true RINO contigent--those that want to get generational wealth and power in return for caving to corrupt Democrats over and over again. Main exception since Reagan has been GOP RINOs favors tax cuts and massive deficit spending but with DoW increases. Democrats want more everything--taxes on normies, tax cuts for their peeps on weird shit like transing oneself, deficit spending out the wazoo, and staffing government offices with nepots, perverts, and evil bastards.

=====
I thought it might be possible until I read all the Florida Grand Jury and a lot of the recently released documents. Basically, the billionaires and important politicos that Epstein mixed with have their own security teams to prevent honeypots. Rich people find themselves beset with con men, creeps, criminals, etc. so they hire former cops (see Trump with former NYPD detectives for example) to act as protectors.
I don't doubt that some dabbled with Epstein's whores whether underage or not (some were not underage), but his focus was mainly on moving money around in investments. The girls appeared a sideline to his business dealings which were extensive and not well reported by the press. And his first big investment job at Bear Stearns was related to the CIA's bank (BCCI). My guess is he moved money for the intel agencies to whitewash it, dabbled a bit as informant if his intel contacts needed some info (intel has long used criminals and sleazoids to get info on other bad guys) which in turn protected him, and used his whores for personal deviance and a lubricant to get people to give him information willingly. The tapes were insurance.

An odd thing about TWWW: I believe every episode was named "The Night of the (fill in the blank)." And by my recollection, a lot of the scenes were at night or in relatively dark underground (studio sets) fortresses, dungeons, caverns, tunnels, or labs of the villain of the week. Outdoors/daytime scenes were filmed on studio lots and in studio Western towns, or were canned shots of the train, etc., used over and over again. Cost-efficient!
I loved watching TWWW during its prime time-run. But I find watching reruns nowadays a bore.

“He was at plus six points [in January], then minus three points a year ago [in April], minus seven points nine months ago, minus ten points in October 2025. January 2026, -13 points. And now all the way down to -18 points. A term two low," he said.
Cool. So, Republicans will get on board with impeaching him now? No, they're asskissing little shit weasels? Remember, every day of this is sanctioned by the Republicans in office, they could end it whenever they want.
His staff shows him fake 95% approval polls. Wouldn’t be shocked if Fox News does private ego boost fake broadcasts just for him.
Trump is consistent. He has brought a wrecking ball to every thing he has ever been involved in. The people knew this and voted for him anyway. Twice.

Problem is most 'crimes' are not on videotape like Jan6 nor are in the rotten borough of DC which is refusing to allow Democrats to be convicted.
It is far more difficult to bring federal cases than most people think based on Jan 6 because you have to have federal grand juries willing to indict.
Most of the charges in DC also were a result of defendants initially being arrested by information (aka not a grand jury) for offenses with less than a year and then getting upgraded by grand jury superceding indictments in a lot of cases. And that allowed Garland's henchmen to stack the DC and federal prisons with poor Jan 6ers waiting for a trial. Many then had to plead out as the courts deliberately delayed and stalled trial dates, etc.
DC has become a rotten jurisdiction that protects Democrats and persecutes GOP and other enemies of the permanent state. Spreading to MD and VA too now

Relatively few politicians went to the Island from flight logs. Mostly business men and others that Epstein wanted to cultivate like scientists (Stephen Hawking for example). Bill Clinton, Bill Richardson, Ehud Barak, and some Gulf staters were outnumbered by the financiers and scientists.
Epstein probably had some at his NY home but then again, he purposefully cruised with Ghislaine to major events to photobomb himself with prominent people.
You can read the documents yourself but never figure you get from the media what is in them. And while I think Epstein certainly had intel and law enforcement connections, I think he was more an informant like Whitey Bulger than an agent for anyone. There is a huge floating group of people that intel can tap for specific information that are not agents nor even handlers. If you read the JFK or RFK files, you will see how it works. The thing is most people are bored with financial and regular information peddling and want to jump to the sex because well it is sex and some underaged depravity as well.

That's why I shared the poll news Reddit is crowing about. The Iran War didn't give the typical military poll bump, and the gas price spike is very apparent and unpopular. Trump needs to quickly turn things around and show the economy is better than it was under Biden, or midterms will be a bloodbath.
Sure, Dems poll terribly too, but they're the ones out of power, so Republicans will bear the brunt of protest "throw the bums out" votes if LIVs think things are going poorly.

Except, as has been pointed out, she couldn't do that.
First of all, the AG doesn't arrest people, the FBI or local law enforcement do. The FBI, which still hasn't been completely purged of traitors, or local law enforcement, which won't work with the Trump Administration.
In order to arrest someone, you need a warrant. Either a warrant signed by a judge, no problem there, the federal judiciary is falling all over themselves to accommodate the Trump Administration, or one issued by a Grand Jury. A Grand Jury convened and addressed by holdover career lawyers who were in place during the Biden Administration because the Senate won't confirm Trump's appointees.
Garland was dealing with 'crimes' committed in DC. With DC judges and DC juries. That's why he could do what he did with the J6 people. We do not have the luxury.

The conspiracy to remove Trump from office the first time he was elected wasn't strictly hatched in a D.C. basement. I think it was a national plot. Those involved traveled to other states and probably discussed what they were doing with other conspirators.
A trial could theoretically held anywhere one of them traveled. Not "just" inside the Beltway.

Iranian state media has urged civilians to capture American pilots after the regime claimed it shot down a US fighter jet.
The Iranian state-run Mehr News agency aired footage on Friday of a female anchor calling on civilians to help capture pilots of an American F-15E Strike Eagle that the regime says was allegedly shot down over Southern Iran.”

The Danes/Vikings were upfront about the law. You were either in the law or out of the law. Every new King would inform the people what was and was not in the law. If you didn't meet this threshold you were immediately an outlaw. These announcements often took many hours to cover. Many outlaws went a Viking after these announcements. This means, leave and find somewhere else to be.

Sharing key British insider information about government financing to Epstein and others. The sort of information that moves markets if you get it before the public does. Randy Andy required the Thailand British Embassy employees to get a bunch of whores together for him for his entertainment as well.
But, one thing is that MI-5 is tasked with and even MI-6 to some degree is to protect the royal family. So undoubtedly Andy's personal security team knew all about Epstein and okayed him romping with the underage Giuffre regardless. My guess is because Ghislaine undoubtedly had daddy's contacts in the British security services and possibly Mossad as well.
But the pathetic emails from people like Lawrence Summers on how to get some woman to have sex with him (he was married at the time) or Ehud Barak's similar clueless texts does not show Epstein as a honeypot blackmailer (those blackmailed aren't willingly friendly in texts nor request relationship advice from their blackmailers fwiw), don't show an intel operative but someone that is Mr Fixit so that he has access to the highest SES and can drop names for his own ends.

Undoubtedly and this makes the honeypot hypothesis hard to sustain after his Palm Beach convictions. Billionaires have the money to hire what they want without dealing with Epstein and worrying about him dangling it over them. For Epstein then, it makes sense for him to use them as alluded to in Leon Black emails, as a subtle reminder not to mess with him (insurance from being prosecuted). Wexner, for example, severed relations with him after catching Epstein stealing from him (his wife took over some of the finances and discovered it).
I think Epstein gathered info for financial dealings as much as anything and the informant issue was to ensure being protected. For example, his friendship with Plaskett or Richardson can be explained by where his operations were located. With Clinton, for prestige. But Matt Groening on Air Epstein? has to be for name dropping and perhaps a financial client--certainly not actionable intelligence.

And the flaw to yours is that no evidence is simply that. It is not necessarily evidence of a conspiracy especially of the massive sex pot kompromat of all DC scheme.
Same with a lot of JFK and RFK conspiracies. A huge mass of files were released, and yet most of the prominent conspiracy theories were simply not supported there. It helps to have read up on exactly what ops that intel agencies have actually done in the past to know what is likely or not in the present.
Look up Codename Cynthia for a real life British honey pot. And yet, the blackmail was not the crude kompromat but rather getting the mark emotionally involved with the woman so that they did it for her, not because they were threatened with exposure so much.
TV and movies do little to actual shed light on intel ops. It takes wading through boring documents just like any search for financial crimes does. But I can see what CIA directors did not want the RFK or JFK files released. It shows intel collection and narrative building.

The flaw in Whig's argument is all that we know about Epstein is the information the Deep State has released about Epstein.
WRONG!. Bondi had one and only one job, Indict Brennan. If he didn't know what was going on, he certainly was not very intelligent.
The Three Specific Emails (JPMorgan/Epstein Context)
The "Birthday Book" Outreach (2011): The email outlines how the bank could use Epstein's
The "Wall of Cash" Email (2013):
An internal JPMorgan email discussing Epstein as a "top-tier referral source"
The "Wall of Cash" Email (2013):
An internal JPMorgan email discussing Epstein as a "top-tier referral source" for the bank's "Wall of Cash" program. The email allegedly notes that Epstein was a primary bridge to international dignitaries
It is only too obvious who is culpable and why they are going to get away with it. DOJ identified 25 (not 19!) they've made a deal with.
TRUMP needs to nullify that deal so that America250 can go beyond this, it will reveal that Trump reported Epstein after he was outbid on a property.
Brennan will rat out the others to save his own lousy hide.

"The Swalwells' income puts them in the top 5% of households in Washington, D.C., where the couple owns a $1.2 million home, in addition to the congressman renting a room in Livermore, Calif., owned by another family."
Baffled how Swalwell is running for Governor of California in 2026, despite renting a single room in a Livermore, CA home, and his campaign and supporters are able to argue this arrangement fulfills the legal residency requirements.
(Oh, the Courts, right?)
Reportedly, Swalwell and his landlord have filed sworn declarations stating that he has rented a room in a Livermore home owned by a family of three since 2017. He maintains his voter registration and CA driver's license at this address, which he calls a "vacation bedroom" where he keeps personal items when visiting his district. (AI)
No, I'm wrong. The Dems took over the local county council & other key offices a handful of years ago. For some who 'won' in the 'historic election,' having in-laws & other relatives who, for decades, clearly fulfilled residential requirements permitted those outsiders to also claim legal residency and run for office.

Then in November 2019, Democrats achieved a "clean sweep" of the County Council and key row offices, some by employing interesting residency tactics.
Would the SAVE Act also put a kink in such political mobility tactics for some office seekers? 🤷♀️

Top Story
- houston@nasa.gov, we have a problem. (Tom's Hardware)
The crew of the Artemis II mission - basically retreading the path of Apollo 10, 97 years ago - ran into an issue that didn't happen last time: The spacecraft's computer has two instances of Microsoft Outlook running, and neither one works.
At least that's better than unidentified floating poop (though we may yet come to that) or a Main B Bus Undervolt.
- Speaking of things not working those new LG-made 1Hz laptop display panels have been put to the test and they don't. Don't not work, that is. They work exceptionally well. (Tom's Hardware)
These displays are designed to automatically lower the refresh rate to as little as 1Hz (from a maximum of 120Hz) when the user is looking at a static screen, since the constant refresh cycle is a major power draw.
Tested in Dell's latest XPS 14 model (which I think is the first laptop shipping with these panels) a battery life test simulating simple web browsing with the screen brightness set to 150 nits saw the laptop lasting 43 hours. That's three times longer than Apple's M5 MacBook Air running with the same settings.
Apple's CPUs are more power-efficient than Intel's so heaver workloads handed the win to the Air, but the new display panel certainly proved itself.
Tech News
- OpenAI has acquired "popular" tech podcast TBPN, which I have never heard of and as far as I can tell nobody else has either. (CNBC)
Gotta burn through that latest $122 billion somehow, and buying a fawning press is one way.
And yes, Sam Altman has appeared multiple times on the show. I checked and the comments were... Not generous.
- A group pushing for age verification legislation to be forced upon AI turns out to be funded by... OpenAI. (Gizmodo)
Regulatory capture is back, baby!
- How Microsoft vaporised a trillion dollars. (Substack)
A six part article by a former Azure team member recounting the remarkable levels of dysfunction within that organisation.
It's amazing anything works at all.
- Everyone's not doing it: Delve, the compliance startup embroiled in endless allegations of not actually doing what they claim to do, is embroiled in further allegations of... Not actually doing what they claimed to do but related to something different this time. (Tech Crunch)
At question here was Delve's software offering Pathways which looked remarkably like open-source solution SimStudio with the numbers filed off. Delve disputed the allegations... And then scrubbed all mention of Pathways from its website.
- If you weren't planning to buy an iPhone, congratulations, now you are. (WCCFTech)
Apple is reportedly buying all the RAM available at inflated prices to force its competitors out of the market.
Samsung's mobile division tried to sign a long-term supply contract with Samsung's memory division last year - and was rebuffed in favour of putting the screws to Apple. A move that reportedly succeeded splendidly... For Samsung's memory division, which is now getting paid twice as much per gigabyte. Not for the rest of us.
- A look at Maxsun's Arc Pro B60 Dual 48G Turbo. (WCCFTech)
Intel's Arc Pro B60 is a professional-level graphics card using the same chip as the company's B580 consumer card, but with twice the memory - 24GB rather than 12GB.
Maxsun's iteration of this puts two B60s on a single card, and it acts... Exactly like two B60s. Exactly like two B60s, because the B60 only uses 8 lanes of PCIe 5.0 (not really a constraint given its healthy allotment of RAM), and this card requires your motherboard to set that slot in x8/x8 bifurcation mode so that the two units on the card are addressed independently.
(If you have something else sharing bandwidth on that slot so that it's already in x8 mode, only half of this card will work.)
Not sure exactly how it performs - the reviewer ran multiple benchmarks but doesn't provide direct comparisons to anything else. But for gaming, it performs exactly like a B580, because games only see one of the two GPUs on the card.

Looks like Orion is well on its way to the Moon, traveling at a leisurely 5000 mph or so.
It's currently about 67000+ miles away, roughly a quarter of the distance to the Moon.

Absolutely, if you’re old enough, or have worked basically anywhere, you’ve watched company decisions go south from ignoring the actual problem. I could give at least 3 dozen examples, but you don’t need my old stories. NYC is one of the greatest topical lessons about to be learned in the history of ignoring problems.

You taught us, Lord, that the greatest love a man can show is to lay down his life for his friends. But your love was greater still, because you laid down your life for your enemies. It was while we were still enemies that you reconciled us to yourself by your death.What other love has ever been , or ever could be , like yours? You died at the hand of sinners for the sake of the sinful. You became a slave to tyrants, to set the oppressed free.

Today, however, is the day I have agreed to go to this talk by the commie Korean professor at my old employer. It feels rather as if I escaped from East Berlin a year ago and am going back in on a secret mission. I hope I don't see anybody I know.

No, she's not a lefty, thank God. She doesn't know the woman, but somehow the talk title caught her attention. She looks at it as a break in the monotony -- remember, she doesn't work and hardly ever has. And it's a free luncheon as well.
I agreed to this because she originally wanted to go to a $75/person buffet at a downtown restaurant. When I said no, she brought this up, knowing no doubt I'd feel I should give way somewhere. Again, it's free, and will be only about an hour long, so I'll grit my teeth.

I got really good at keeping an impassive Spock-face during Zoom meetings at my last job there, when (for instance) they discussed who was going to give the "land acknowledgment" at an upcoming conference we were sponsoring, and yammered on about "efforts toward increasing diversity."

Artemis II launched on April 1, 2026, from Kennedy Space Center, sending four astronauts—Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen—on a 10-day trip for a Moon flyby, the first crewed lunar voyage since Apollo 17.
Viewers spotted the stuffed Artemis cat during live streams from Houston's Mission Control, right next to computer panels, sparking joy among anime fans who shared screenshots and noted nearby Sailor Moon ties and lanyards.
The whimsical touch highlighted how fandom blends with space exploration, with fans celebrating personal connections like kids recognizing the character instantly.

Just as with the Space Shuttle's external fuel tank, the body of the main stage of the SLS is covered with a spray-on foam that turns orange when exposed to UV light. After the first couple of Shuttle flights, where the orange foam was painted white, NASA determined that the paint wasn't necessary, and not painting the tanks decreased the tank weight by nearly 700 lbs.
In the case of the SLS, not painting the main body reduces weight by about 1000 lbs, which means that the rocket can boost that much more in payload.

While the flights of Apollo 8, 10, and 11 were launched on a "free return trajectory" as with Artemis, all of those missions were planned to orbit the moon, and therefore performed Lunar Orbit Insertion burns to achieve orbit.
Apollo 8 achieved lunar orbit, then broke orbit to safely return to Earth. It didn't carry the Lunar Module
Apollo 10's mission was to test the Lunar Module while in orbit around the moon, which it did.
Apollo 11 orbited, successfully landed the LM with Amstrong and Aldren, and then returned to Earth.
Artemis' mission is to simply execute a "free return" trajectory around the moon, and not go into orbit.
I didn't mention Apollo 9, because its mission was to orbit Earth with the LM, and test rendezvous and docking. This is, I think, what is planned for Artemis III.

AI is asshoe Grandmother Wrongfully Jailed for Nearly Six Months After AI Facial Recognition Error
On July 14 of last year, Angela Lipps was at her Tennessee home babysitting four children when armed police officers came and took her away at gunpoint. She was later booked as a fugitive in relation to a bank fraud investigation in North Dakota, over 1,000 miles away. The only problem was that Lipps had never been to North Dakota. The grandmother of five told investigators that she had lived most of her life in north-central Tennessee and had never even been on a plane. Unfortunately, police in Fargo, North Dakota, had obtained a signed warrant for her arrest on multiple charges, including felony theft and felony unauthorised use of personal identifying information. Angela Lipps later learned that she had been identified as a suspect in an organised bank fraud case. Investigators reviewing cases in April and May 2025, in which a woman used a fake US Army military ID to withdraw tens of thousands of dollars from banks, used facial recognition software on surveillance camera footage and identified the Tennessee grandmother as the main suspect. *** After spending over three months in a Tennessee jail, at the end of October 2025, Angela Lipps was put on a plane and flown to North Dakota, where she was once again jailed simply because an AI recognition software decided her facial features, body type and hairstyle matched those of a crime suspect.Video segment at the link. Putting more automated stuff to use by government entities sure is a great idea, huh? ----- Even Bluesky looneys think AI is asshoe! Bluesky Users Respond With Overwhelming Disgust to Platform’s New AI
In its early days, Twitter alternative Bluesky tried to paint itself as a safe haven from the onslaught of AI, promising in November 2024 that it had “no intention” of scraping user-generated posts to train AI models. It was a shot across the bow, clearly aimed at its rival X-formerly-Twitter, which had recently changed its terms of service to allow just that. And since then, backlash to AI slop and relentless AI integrations has grown to new heights. So it shouldn’t come as a surprise that Bluesky’s abrupt foray into AI isn’t sitting well with its notoriously anti-AI user base. *** “You control it, you shape it, without having to write code or know how to set up these feeds,” Schneider enthused. The CEO seemed well aware of the headwinds against launching consumer-facing AI products in 2026. *** Graber appeared to be aware of the inflood of hatred for the idea. When a user told her that “we don’t want it,” she replied with a curt: “then don’t use it — it’s a separate app.” Graber also reshared a post by a different user who claimed people “on the left” were being “shortsighted” by being willfully blind about AI, and that the argument “‘hope it goes away’ doesn’t have a great track record as a strategy for contesting control of new political domains and technologies.” The implication: Bluesky users are wrong about their resentment over AI and should instead embrace it.Left on left drama and fighting is always a good thing! ----- OK, maybe AI is not totally asshoe Ancient Roman board game stumped experts for decades – until AI played
A slab of limestone excavated in 1984 from the ancient Coriovallum settlement in the Netherlands presented a puzzle for researchers of Roman history. Because of its distinct grooves and marks, the stone piece was believed to be some kind of board game – but obviously no rulebook was dug up to confirm this. Now, more than 40 years on, new technology appears to have solved the mystery. An international team of researchers led by Maastricht University in the Netherlands, along with Leiden University, Australia's Flinders University, the Université Catholique de Louvain in Belgium and The Roman Museum and restoration studio Restaura in Heerlen, have used 3D scans and AI to unravel the rules of this mysterious game that no human has been able to figure out. The oval-shaped stone, roughly 8.3 x 5.7 inches (21 x 14.5 cm) in diameter and marked on one side with distinct intersecting lines, had all the hallmarks of a game played in ancient times. As the researchers note in their paper, people around the world have played games since at least the Bronze Age (around 3000 BCE). A lot haven't survived due to materials used, but the Coriovallum limestone had withstood the test of time. *** They programmed two AI bots to play a digital version of the limestone-etched board, with more than 100 different sets of rules from other games throughout history we know of. The AI players had 1,000 goes at each of these other games, and then a pattern emerged. Nine "rules" the other games had were consistent with this mysterious one.Using AI to come up with new rules to a game might actually be fun. Got any ideas??

We're not aiming to hit it, but to send the grain of sand just close enough so that the beach ball can reach out with an invisible hand (gravity) and toss our grain of sand back to us, where we'll catch it in a kiddie pool filled with water.

I had a lot of energy when expecting #2 during the elder son's naptime. I sewed winter jumpers for myself! I sewed Sesame St. puppets for his birthday! I made Polish pisanki eggs with a kit (that I still have after going cross country twice and suffering in a hot FL attic). I may make them again someday and order a kit. I wish I had that energy now.
This year our son, DIL and grands are going on a cruise, flying to Puerto Rico tomorrow. Favorite BIL and SIL are busy with her family. And we don't feel like dealing with the agnostic in-laws.
We are going to Mass and then a very fancy brunch at a French place we haven't been to in decades. Very lovely but rumored to be too costly for the food. We'll take our chances and the grounds will be beautiful at the base of a canyon.
We may have an egg hunt after Easter or on the 4th of July at this rate. I use fake eggs because after the first hunt grandson throws them from his jeep (or did, while wearing a lady's fascinator hat after I made a bunch for a tea shower). I have insane grandchildren.

The other one was tucked into the underside of antique dining room table-- it had pull-out leaves at either end and there was just enough space to hold an egg.

Hawaiians did the same - road on black lava, little white rock piles spaced along the route. Almost like white lines are used today on highways.
Kind of handy.
If you are off the 'road' and see a little pile of white rocks, go to a pile, look both ways, the road becomes obvious.

I have never been the same since a huge egg hunt at a park near my grandmother's. One of my cousins, a few years younger than me, ate all of the eggs she found (I think probably with some shells). I was grossed out as she had stuff all over her toddler face.
This was also the egg hunt where a girl I did not know loved a baby chick so much she accidently (I think) killed it.
Very traumatic all in all for me. I was about 6yrs old.

I've made shots like that before, but not for an eagle. It was probably for an 8, lol! I did make a hole in one a few years ago, but I never saw it go in. I lost site of the ball in the air. Lots of trees around and the sun light and shadows made it hard for me to see the ball. I knew it would hit the green but then I didn't see it on the green. Some guys, who were letting my play through saw it though. Best shot I ever made and I didn't even see it.

As I said before when this story was brought up, it wasn't AI that arrested her, jailed her, and charged her. It was people who thought artificial devices were smarter than actual intelligence.
Note the report from the Tech news this morning, that the CEO of America's largest public hospital system says he's ready to replace radiologists with AI.
We turn over our systems, medical, legal, governmental, to the clankers, and we let them rule us. A bit prematurely to say the least. But, then, some people trust the Enemedia, trust the Science, and vote for Democrats. Stupid, stupid humans.

My in-laws family conducts "egg wars" with hard boiled and dyed eyes for Easter.
Each person chooses an egg and decides how to hold it in their hand(s). Folks then pair off.
One person uses their egg as a the striker and usually holds the egg with the pointy end down to strike. The other's egg is struck and usually that egg is held with the pointy side up. One strike is allowed and whichever egg's shell cracks, that person is out of the contest. (In the event of no crack, striking is repeated until one of the eggs' shell cracks.)
It's a single elimination competition, and eventually one person's egg comes through the fray unscathed, thus making them the egg wars' champion. The winning egg typically endures through four (or sometimes five) bouts of striking.

It's amazing, ain't it? And note the 3D nature of the trajectory. It's not confined to a single plane. The outbound leg is pretty in the Moon's orbital plane, but they hit the approach angle just so the Moon throws it "down" a bit. The cocks the return plane so that when the capsule gets back to earth, it's turns up just so it's heading NE over the Pacific for splashdown.
The Moon's gravity does all that plane changing. The TLI burn was simultaneously a re-entry burn as well! Now, there may be some slight errors, and they'll have two course correction points which should be plotted on that map. If they're off a smidge, they can do some small burns to correct.

We observed a Scot's rite of people coming to a hill below us, a lot of people, and rolling eggs down the hill. Kids and dogs and adults would chase the eggs, and people would roll down the hill in the melee.
We four Americans did not expect this and watched totally bewildered. Then hiked down and had some Scotch and dinner at a pub. Unlike my men, I did not have blood pudding or haggis as I live on bread and cheese and wine and dessert when I travel. In this case, every night Sticky Toffee Pudding.

It's a useful skill when you're shouting people down, but it's also good for whipping up a crowd. When people are being too quiet, you can start belting it out, and they'll start growing louder to match your volume.
I used this to effect in a performance at a famous theater tonight. In the first half, the performance was excellent, but the crowd was sedate, so after the intermission, I started screaming like a hillbilly banshee, and the crowd had no choice but to meet the standard.
I'm sure the performers appreciated that raucous response in the second half, because they kept gesturing to the crowd to bring up the volume even more.

That sounds like marbling, the process used to create fancy endpaper in bookbinding where the finished product has multiple colors brought together with a swirling appearance.
I'm not certain what chemicals are used in that process, though, and whether any egg so treated would be free of hazardous or distasteful residues on its shell.

A lot of people did that. I know, I was the poor bastard that ended up putting down the new sub floor before we installed the new kitchen. The nightmare scenario back then was when the customer said they wanted to keep the floor they had. The problem is the industry changes every so often, and the toe kicks on really old kitchens weren't as deep, and the industry changed and started making base cabinets with a 1" deeper toe kick so you had more room for your feet. Well, now you have a 1 inch gap where the old floor don't meet the new deeper toe kicks.

I'd rather have linoleum or sheet vinyl.
A little spic-n-span or mop-n-glow and is good-to-go.

I almost did ceramic in this kitchen, but with the larger tiles. I put ceramic in the last house, and mrs B said no more frigging grout to clean, so I did that luxury vinyl plank. I used the SPC (stone plastic core) type with the rubber backing, no wood core, not in a kitchen where water is involved. Best move I ever did in a kitchen. They really don't use ceramic much anymore in a kitchen. The vinyl plank can be laid down over anything.

Yeah you're not doing large tiles with a slope towards a drain. The vinyl plank is great for kitchens and regular flat floors. I used it in the one half bath and its great. I'm most likely going to use ceramic on top of hardy backer in the other 2 full baths for max water protection. Don't skimp on the vinyl plank floor, get the good shit. The $5-6 a sq ft stuff from one of the good companies, not the $1 sq ft crap. You want SPC. You can drop it in water, come back 20 years later and its still good. The wear layer is way thicker too.

I use McCormick liquid food coloring. Still uses hot water and a teaspoon of vinegar, but you can regulated the intensity of the color by the number of drops used. Also, many other colors can be made by mixing the basic colors by certain volumes. Much better than those Paz tablets. Been using the liquid dyes since the 70's.

I'm impressed. Back in the 2000s, Lunar Laser Ranging could determine the position of the Moon's center of mass relative to earth at about 2 cm, that's centimeters of precision. The Moon was shown to be within 2cm of where General Relativity says it should be (Mr. Newton alone would be about 10s of meters off over time -- not much, but still no cigar).
Well, as of now, they've got that down to 1mm basically. The Moon is within 1 mm of where Mr. Einstein's gravity says it should be.

Traditional terrazzo typically has the usual concrete floor, a two inch sand cushion, and two inches of white Portland cement terrazzo. So your structural floor has to be about four inches low.
Epoxy terrazzo typically can be as little as a quarter inch thick placed directly on the concrete floor... can be used in a remodel job w/o messing too much with floor elevations.
Both systems have similar grinding and polishing.
Had projects where they demo'd to the bone, and filled the old terrazzo floor with concrete and then went with a very nice epoxy terrazzo on top.

It had the original hardwood floors. They were gorgeous.
We never had to do anything to maintain them. Used a swifter on them.

I'm a big believer in those floors. My last house had them because it too was built in the 50's. It had gotten an addition before I got there, and that room didn't have them, so I put one in. The house here has them, and if it didn't hell yeah I would put them in. They are forever.

Yeah they last. My friend was a floor refinish guy, so I called him him to refinish them, because the chucklehead I got the house from had wall to wall yellow shag rug (gag) which I literally tore out on day 1. Floors weren't bad because it had rug over them for years, but they were stained in a few spots from shampooing. He did a beautiful job, they lasted 30 years, During this last move I had him come in again and redo them when I listed the house. Poor guy, he was 35 when he did them the first time, and he was 65 when he did them the second time.

Same way at my house. Put on the church suits, go to church, come home, hang up the suits, got into the old clothes, had lunch, went outside for the rest of the day, weather permitting. Same routine every Sunday. Easter was not some big deal kid holiday. The other kids in the neighborhood got the baskets and candy but I guess my parents had to draw the line somewhere.

I have a chevy colorado. Thats not a truck, thats a skateboard with a cookie tin hanging off the back. It won't fit. The bike is 7feet long, the bed is 6. I could do it if I lower the tailgate, put the bike in on an angle, and have the rear tire on the gate, and thats probably not a good idea for a 650lb bike. the dude was going to deliver it. We loaded it into his enclosed trailer, we got 1/4 mile away and his truck wouldn't shift going up the first hill, so we had to turn around.

I wish I had a truck. Its a nice little truck. Drives and rides like a car. It has a 1550 pound weight capacity. It must be a uranium hauler, because your not fitting anything weighing 1550 pounds in that thing, lol. Actually I stand corrected. When I got the plank flooring for the kitchen. It was 70lbs per box, and I had 600sq ft of flooring, so I think it was 35-36 boxes. We put some in mrs B's RDX, and I put the rest in the colorado. It handled it no problem. The harley would be no problem if it fit.

Old hardware store joke: One of the help calls in sick, so the owner gets his wife to help serve customers. Guy comes in, and she asks what he needs. He says a file, a little bastard.
She gets all offended, how dare you use that language with a lady. Hubbie runs over and smooths things over here, telling her that's a valid term for a type of file.
She doesn't like it, but accepts it. Later another guys comes in wanting a file. She says I suppose you want a little bastard too? He replies, No ma'am, I need a big sum bitch about this long....

I differ about blowers. Take the same engine one blown and one not and there is a world of difference. I've worked them both.
I had 6.2s with no complaints. However, with the exception that the engine wasn't built to handle it, a blower would have been simply marvelous.

There is nothing wrong with that! In fact, you could make money (possibly not much) writing a story about it.

That reminds me of the tragedy of Steven Hassan. He developed the BITE model of cult brainwashing, since he'd experienced it, and then re-succumbed to a different one. Apparently just very naturally vulnerable to social control, he is oblivious to his new home the Social Justice Cult being a cult that follows the BITE model perfectly. He has no idea! It's tragic, and raimondo seems similarly oblivious to his own brainwashing.

Yeah thats the problem. Thats why I said back it down. The worst damn thing is having to quit when you like it. They say you quit when you're ready. It seems you're never ready if you still like it. I came to terms with that I'll probably never fully quit. There will always be a random one here or there with decent periods of nothing in between.

The cat thinks he started out as a human wizard, but he's been reincarnated so many times that he isn't sure anymore. Meanwhile, he enjoys being a cat.

I can picture it now: he's certain that he was much better at magic than any of them (even if he can't remember it clearly); not that he could explain it to them, you just need to be so talented. But he's very approving when they get something right. You're on the right track to learning to be half as good as I was, girl! Keep at it! *purrr*

Random thing. . .why do reporters keep pronouncing "Van der Leyen" as "Van Der LION?" It's not "Lion." It's "Lay" like on your back, and "ON" like the muslim rapist who you are about to invite unvetted into your continent. Just so curious about that, and it's recent, they USED to pronounce it correctly, but now, she's a LION defying orange man, who actually looks like a lion with his fucked up hair.

The English word "Easter" originates from Old English Eastre or Eostre, likely derived from a Proto-Germanic root for "dawn" (austron-) or a springtime goddess associated with the east. This name is traditionally linked to the rising sun, symbolizing the resurrection, and was adopted to replace earlier Pascha celebrations.Dune: Meowsiah. Dog slept so deeply he attracted a vulture.
Big bunny bread for its meat is rescued and living his best bunny life. Puppy's been training for this very moment his whole life. Street argument. Rescuing a neglected senior dog (who looks like a teddy bear now). Last week I posted a short video of a bear waking up from hibernation with Stage IV bedhead. There's more to the story. That was an elderly circus bear callously discarded by the people he used to make money for. He's now been rescued and given his own paddock to walk around in. Low-energy cat. Lightning strikes are God's way of telling you Do Better. #DoBetter, people. Cats are why we can't have nice things. Further evidence. I will never forget this dog's birthday party because it's a nightmare dreamed by a demon. Guys pretending to listen to their wives. Koalas should be seen not heard. Fuck man that's awful. Cruisin' the strip.

It's been two weeks since he fell out of my bed. I took away the doggy stairs so he can't jump up there without me around. I lift him up. I lift him down. Not a problem.
He went outside. Came back in. I'm in my chair looking for a horror movie. For some reason, this 14.7 year old dog decides he'll run and jump on the bed like he used to do. His bacl legs are very strong, but not THAT strong.
Ralphy hit the bed, fell backwards. He's fine. He's walking. He looked so stunned. I have two more weeks of pain pills. He's laying on the bed now. Still WTF?
The vet always comments how full of life he is for his age. Still. WTF??
Thanks for letting me vent.

x = x + 0
Now it's an integer 10, not a string.
x = x + 0.0

Thank you both. I'm sorry about your friend but I bet he had an amazing life.
Dash, I took away the stairs because he used them the day before his bigger fall and somehow fell!
He really is not that bad. I let the vet decide on life or death but he was bouncing around and after her examination, she chose life. I've been carrying him but he's been fine over a week ago.
Everyone have a great night.

I don't get it. Vulture sitting there looking menacing. Just one vulture; aren't they flocking birds? And don't they hunt by scent, so a sleeping animal wouldn't attract them?
Dog wakes up, bumps vulture. Vulture just continues to sit there.
Dog takes three steps and is getting petted by his human who was right there the whole time, not doing anything to protect the dog.
So, is the vulture the human's pet, too? Is it just a really odd choice for an AI-generated movie?

In a word - Yes! They are very sociable with other vultures and tend to flock and fly together. During this time of the year, we routinely have 50 or 60 that perch in the trees in the woods behind our house.
Note to those interested: With that many hanging around, they would easily clean up some very poor decisions in a few hours or so.

Iranian Commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Mohammad-Ali Fathalizadeh was killed on Wednesday in a US-Israeli strike.
Mohammad-Ali Fathalizadeh, also known as General Mohammad Ali Fathali-Zadeh, was the latest Iranian regime leader to be taken out by US and Israeli forces.
According to Xinhua, Iran’s Defa Press news agency, a news outlet affiliated with the General Staff of Iran’s Armed Forces, reported on Thursday.
Mohammad-Ali Fathalizadeh led the “fatehin” special unit of the IRGC.

It generally prohibited DoD personnel (including active-duty service members) from carrying privately owned firearms on base except in very specific official capacities, such as law enforcement or security duties.
March 12, 1993: The Army followed up with Army Regulation 190-14, which implemented the DoD policy more specifically for the Army. This is the regulation often cited in discussions about "disarming" soldiers on base.
Prior to 1992, policies varied by service and installation, but service members generally had more flexibility regarding personal firearms (though open carry or casual carrying while on duty was never the norm). The 1992 directive standardized and tightened the rules across the Department of Defense.

They weren't allowed to carry when I started at USACE in the late 1980's. After working on a CID facility and speaking with the agents there, I can't imagine carrying on base is a smart move. These are kids who can't help but destroy the barracks they live in, so not known for impulse control. And then there are the really criminal idiots. 18 to 24 year olds as a group are not known for their responsible behavior.

I recall that the Apollo lunar missions reached a surprisingly low minimum velocity as the craft traveled to the moon -- 2,000 miles per hour, then the moon's gravity began accelerating them towards the moon. Just enough velocity to get there. The burn to slow down into lunar orbit would eventually follow.

Going on 30 yrs+ here...
Best one could have hoped for was storage of privately owned firearms in the unit armory (if living on Base). Then got much more restrictive after 9-11.
Real awkward as some Bases had MWR ranges and hunting areas. Bases w/o ranges and if you lived off-Base you were SOL.

The storm was quiet, kind of a whispery thing, but it was heavy, and it had reached the point where you could hear limbs cracking and falling all over about every 30 seconds. I shouldn’t have gone outside but it was eerie and fascinating; no people or animals out (smart) just nature behaving in a really unusual way. So I was walking towards the front when a decent size limb came out of the oak tree right onto that powerline. Stretched it almost to the ground, I thought would break but it didn’t - and then one end touched the ground and 40,000 volts arced through it. BAM! Looked and sounded like lightning, given that I was only about 40 feet away it really sounded like an explosion. Damn!!!

That would be very difficult to do. Moose are pretty tough. I guess you could hit one in the eye and have it go into the brain, but I can't imagine a body shot with a .22 would do much.
And I do know what to do with a moose. It goes in the freezer; takes about a week to process all that. The hide gets to be mittens that last a very long time. The horns, should it have them, go over the garage door. Lol.

In the early 80's, young Lieutenant Diogenes was running a pistol.range at Ft Lewis. It was common kniwledge.that when doing this job, anyone (think the commanding general) could show up and shoot his privately owned weapons. And if you were running the range correctly, he'd let you shoot his old Colt .45. Hell of a lot of fun back then.

Not at Ft. Wainwright, anyway. The hallways are always dusty and filthy. Some of the individual rooms are pretty gnarly, too. I don't think I ever saw any sergeants in the barracks proper. They are down in the day room sometimes, but not the rest of the building. We were forever getting told to make the rooms more like jails than apartments, because then they wouldn't destroy them.

There are versions of Buddhism that have different existences you can be reborn into, and 'heaven' and 'hell' can describe the best and worst of them. They're not final destinations like in Christianity, though. You can screw up in heaven, or live a really great life in hell, and be reborn back here next go-round.

About her husband, anyway. I don't think there's any validated information about Noem actually being bad at her job, just the optics with that commercial.

I'm unfamiliar with the details (probably because Japan does its own thing, so anime is not much of a guide here) but I understand that the basis is the Hindu "Yama Courts". You get judged by the lawbooks of these Asian cultures, like disrespecting your parents is among the worst sins. Then you go to a hell that befits those sins, or the judges figure out a fitting reincarnation for you.
It's all a little baroque for a Westerner like myself.
I figure that someone who messes up bad enough in this life to be sent to a worse one, is unlikely to find any better help in the worse one.

I was a dishwasher goon/prep cook in an Alaska restaurant. The breakfast cook was a master of over easy eggs. No spatula, just really good pans and a flip. He also did omelets with a slightly larger pan. He always washed his own pans, and kept them in a separate spot, draped with towels.

And not even as much, because they aren't going into lunar orbit. The Orion-SLS doesn't have to delta-v fuel budget to get into lunar orbit and back out within the required safety margins (stuff like early aborts and all that -- for about two days, if something bad happened, they could do an abort burn that would let them fall back to earth sooner. After that, they're committed to the slingshot around the Moon, couldn't get back any sooner).

When youngest Wrecks daughter was seven, we won a lottery to go to Puerto Vallarta. She was then in her most difficult eating phase and would eat only McDonald's cheeseburgers. Puerto Vallarta is not known for its cheeseburgers but there was a McDonald's on the other side of town. We spent an afternoon walking there in the heat and when we got there, she wouldn't eat because there were sesame seeds on the bun.

Artemis is cool and all, but it’s kinda sad that they’re doing basically the same thing Apollo 8 did almost sixty years ago. I know it’s going farther, but still.
Posted by: Duke Lowell
It's more like Apollo 13 without the system failures. They are on a free return path back to Earth (no orbits, right?).
Up to now, the crew of Apollo 13 has held the record as the humans who had traveled furthest from Earth, owing to their having taken a free return path to swing around the Moon. All other Apollo missions performed a lunar insertion burn that put their crafts into orbit around the Moon.

Quick Hits
Libs of TikTok"There's just no way to determine an athlete's sex other than reaching under her skirt and fondling her genitals!" -- the Genius Alexandria Donkey-Chompers Don Ballfingers Lemon: "I was given the n-word treatment" when I was perp-walked as any criminal would be. A Democrat representative, "Shomari Figures" -- I'm not sure if that's a human name or a new He-Man character (like maybe he has numbers for eyes or something) -- wanted to prove that black people are too dumb to get ID to vote. So he asked the members of a black church how many of them had failed to obtain this exotic, elusive object called "personal identification." Literally no one said they did not have identification so he quickly pivoted to a different point. King Charles, long rumored to have secretly converted to Islam, not only issued Ramadan greetings during Lent, not only urged British citizens to learn more about Islam, but now says he will not issue any Easter message this year. Oh well, Easter's not a big Christian holy day or anything I guess. This post contains a bunch of claims about Charles' alleged conversion to Islam, which I have never heard and certainly cannot verify, but fuck this cuck.
@libsoftiktok 2h Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese criticizes people getting news from social media because it's "misinformation," and not "consistent" like legacy news outlets. Who here trusts the "consistent" legacy media?
I didn't even consider the Flat Earthers during yesterday's launch. How could I not think of the Flat Earthers? Apparently they're having a bad time, given that their whole stupid "the earth is totally flat you guys and NASA just fakes photos of a round earth" Identity. So they're back to their usual cope. They claim that the rocket shown on video was actually an "inflatable," a large rocket-shaped dummy balloon to con the rubes. He then repeats one of Cavernous Nostrils' key proofs for the moon landing being fake, to wit, how can they receive communications in space when Candace has problems getting cell phone coverage in the city? She actually said that. And she said it about radio transmissions during the 1969 moon landing. She showed no awareness at all that there was a kind of "wireless communication" available before she first got her cell phone in 2004. I would say this account is a spoof, but... they really do believe and claim these things. So even if it is a goof, it's still just repeating actual conspiracy theory claims. All systems are go! So... is it a joke? Maybe but the stupidity is very real. And now I think it's really real again.

I would like to thank the hardworking Commissioners and Staff of the National Capital Planning Commission, who just voted overwhelmingly, 8-1, to approve the magnificent White House Ballroom now rising on this Hallowed Ground. I am pleased to announce that even Board Member Senator Rand Paul, known as an extraordinarily difficult vote, voted a strong YES. For more than 150 years, every President has dreamt about having a Ballroom at the White House to accommodate people for Grand Parties, State Visits, and even, in the Modern Day, Inaugurations. I am honored to be the first President to finally get this much-needed project, which is on time and under budget, underway. When completed, it will be the Greatest and Most Beautiful Ballroom of its kind anywhere in the World, and a fabulous complement to our Beautiful and Storied White House! President DONALD J. TRUMP

BREAKING: Trump Administration Orders Dismantling of the U.S. Forest Service. The headquarters is going to Utah. Every regional office is being shuttered. The research program is being destroyed.
They’re ripping the headquarters out of Washington and shipping it to Salt Lake City, Utah — the beating heart of the anti-public-lands movement in America. They’re shuttering every single one of the ten regional offices that have governed this agency since Gifford Pinchot built the system over a century ago — and with them, the career professionals who spent entire lifetimes earning the expertise and the authority to push back when politicians came calling with bad ideas and worse motives. They’re destroying more than fifty research facilities across thirty-one states, labs that house decades of irreplaceable long-term science, the kind you literally cannot restart once it’s gone...

>> Not that I trust Fox News, but I’d have to say of all of Trump’s picks that both the administrative state and the institutional left in general want out most, it would be Tulsi Gabbard. Having a once high profile Democrat and woman in a current high profile position hurts their attempt to say Trump is extreme.
It highlights who the extremists really are. This isn’t to say she shouldn’t be fired if she’s screwing up, but it would be a welcome scalp to the left.

All of these objections have been answered -- at one time there was a site that went through all these "plausible sounding" objections (the nutter stuff is ignored, you can't reason with crazy).
There was a delay as expected. It was edited out in a lot of the broadcasts. Now, the way it works. Nixon says "hell". Takes 2 seconds to get to the Moon. Then Armstrong hears it. He replies. Takes another 2 seconds to get back.
Now, on Nixon's end, there is a big delay between when he talks and Armstrong reponds, but no delay between Nixon responding to Armstrong, because we're listening on the same end.
One the Moon it was just opposite. From Armstrong's frame, he replied to Nixon with no delay, and there was a big delay for Nixon's reply.
Again, many networks at the time just edited out that delay because it was annoying and time consuming.

Colorado is now requiring lawyers in the State, as a condition of logging into its court e-filing system, to promise not to cooperate with federal authorities in enforcing federal immigration law.

The electric field of an electromagnetic wave (light, radio waves, microwaves, etc) generates an orthogonal magnetic field which in turn generates an orthogonal electric field...thus transiting through the void of space.

I remember lear
Then learning that the Earth's poles flip polarity (reversing the Earth's magnetic field) every 250,000 years or so (based on the last 20 million years of history) -- and wondered when that happens again, will all of our electronics fail (will electromagnetism then follow a left-hand rule)?
[Per Brave "AI":] No, not all electronics will fail, as the Earth's magnetic field is too weak to directly disrupt the operation of most modern solid-state devices. However, the reversal process involves a significant weakening of the magnetic shield, which could leave satellites and power grids vulnerable to solar storms and cosmic radiation, potentially causing widespread blackouts and satellite damage.

Bondi's Out.
Is Tulsi Next?!
As you know, Pam Bondi was fired today.
This article repeats the rumor that Trump believed she was leaking to Eric Swallwell:Trump was also frustrated with Bondi because he believes she may have alerted California Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell to an effort by the administration to release files from an investigation into his relationship with an alleged Chinese spy, one of the sources told Semafor.Regarding the claim that Bondi was fired because it was suspected she tipped off her friend Eric Swallwell about Patel's interest in releasing the Fang-Fang files:
Reagan ReeseThat doesn't mean much but it's only fair that I post the denial.
@reaganreese_ 27m A source familiar with Bondi's firing tells me this is "BULLSHIT."
But word is -- Trump's coming for Tulsi Gabbard next. According to the Guardian, Trump polled his other Cabinet Sectaries about whether she was worth keeping or not:
Donald Trump has privately asked cabinet officials in recent weeks whether he should replace his director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, venting frustration that she shielded a former deputy who undercut his rationale for war with Iran, according to two people briefed on the discussions. It is not clear that Trump will actually fire Gabbard over the episode. Currently, there is no standout candidate to take the job, and advisers have cautioned that creating a high-profile vacancy before a successor is ready could cause unhelpful political distractions. But Trump's discussions mark an ominous development for Gabbard, given the president tends to poll his advisers when he starts to seriously consider whether a personnel change is necessary. The two people spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss private conversations. Trump's doubts about Gabbard followed her testimony at the worldwide threats hearing on Capitol Hill last month where she declined to condemn Joe Kent, who had resigned days earlier after arguing that Iran did not pose an imminent threat to the United States, the people said. The nature of Kent's departure and his criticism of the war had already angered Trump, but he expressed particular frustration about Gabbard seemingly defending Kent and appearing reluctant to defend the administration's position to attack Iran, the people said.Trump seems to have formerly been employing the strategy of keeping his critics and saboteurs inside the tent, so that they were pissing out of it instead of into it. But now he seems to be dropping that strategy and giving them all the boot. Bonus:

but the boss is the boss, and irrespective of her personal anti-war sentiments, it's not appropriate for the DNI to shelter or protect underlings that agitate against the boss' decisions.
tulsi truly was one of my favourite cabinet picks, alongside rubio and RFK. but the joe kent episode really calls into question her ability to sequester her personal anti-war inclinations from her duties implementing the president's vision.

Means that this probably will not be a redux of 2006, 2010, or 2018 midterms. More likely 1998 or 2014. Slight gain to a slight loss in the house and little change in the Senate.
One should always look at second term midterms as apart from first term midterms as well. The scary shit of what a president might do is absent then as a second term president, for better or worse, is a known quantity. 2006 was bad because Bush got deserted by his own side due to religion of peace, aborted amnesty plan, and the spiraling violence in Iraq which undercut his 2002-2004 victories.
And guess what, Iran was behind much of that spiraling violence in Iraq from 2005-2007.

i believe she was specifically chosen because she had any number of bones to pick with the deep-state intelligence establishment and no shortage of the necessary public courage to pick those bones.
her office has done some great work discovering some of the more nefarious intelligence plots against the greater trump political organisation.
but if she is protecting saboteurs who share her (understandably) deeply ingrained anti-war misgivings, she is not fit for the purpose.

You can see the service module sort of oscillating from the solar wing camera feed. The motion is causing the wings to sort of flex themselves.

Not that I trust Fox News, but I’d have to say of all of Trump’s picks that both the administrative state and the institutional left in general want out most, it would be Tulsi Gabbard. Having a once high profile Democrat and woman in a current high profile position hurts their attempt to say Trump is extreme.
It highlights who the extremists really are. This isn’t to say she shouldn’t be fired if she’s screwing up, but it would be a welcome scalp to the left.

Posted by: banana Dream - Space Plumber in training at April 02, 2026 06:24 PM (3uBP9)
No idea why he can't release one written statement or video about Easter, when he can do these public events, despite his cancer treatments. He had a rep for hating how tone deaf Queen Lizzy could be with the public, and then he pulls the same stunts as king. But his mummy would have NEVER shirked her religious duties to the crown.

It's hard to know what things moved 100% moved the needle and got more dems or independents to vote for him in 2024. But knowing he, like Lincoln, would have a cabinet stocked with democrats fed up with the corruption and coming together helped.
The left and the media don't get to yell about him firing women and potentially people of color, when they never praised him for hiring them in the first place. They passed on the moral high ground long ago.

Commander Wiseman just gave an exercise wheel workout report. Said he got a good workout, but there was a little issue. Static electricity tended to build up on him while using it, and he had to be careful about that.
Orion's atmosphere is 70/30 N2/O2 at around 1 atm pressure (can go as low as 10 psi, depending on what they need), so not pure O2 or anything. Still, that static build up is something they'll need to fix.

King Charles III has indicated a shift from the traditional title of "Defender of the Faith" (referring specifically to Anglican Christianity) to "Defender of Faith" or "Defender of Faiths," aiming to represent all religious communities in a pluralistic Britain. While keeping the traditional title formally, he favors an inclusive approach, promising to protect all religions, including Islam and Hinduism, and honoring multicultural Britain. (AI Overview)
>Christianity Org UK: King Charles III - Faith and beliefs
King Charles III shares some aspects of the faith of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, but certainly not all. We take at look at his beliefs.
"King Charles seeks to be a monarch who reigns in a multi-faith realm, where Christianity is no longer the faith of the majority of his subjects. His personal life has caused some to question his faith but all Christians recognise they are sinners reconciled to God through the death of Christ; grace which extends to kings and commoners alike."

List of cabinet members and the VP by effectiveness:
Rubio

Vought
Those are the superstars.
Middle tier is Duffy, Zeldin, Wright, Burgum, McMahon. Very good.
Next tier would be everyone not on the bottom.
Bottom of the list would be Noem, RFK Jr, Tulsi, and Bondi. They've all had their challenges and screw ups. RFK Jr. is an ineffective speaker. Noem had weird personal crap. Bondi seems overwhelmed and confused. Tulsi doesn't have her heart in it.

Interestingly, Charlie Kirk in June of last year was adamantly against war with Iran. Called Lindsey Graham insane for advocating for regime change in Iran.

"'Take out the Ayatollah!' Resist that temptation. That's not prudence. That's not self-control. That's something else talking. That's a zeal. Very same zeal got us involved in a pile of garbage in Iraq. It all felt good with 'Shock and Awe' in March 2003. 'We're unstoppable. We're gonna take Iraq in a weekend.' Turns out, it didn't work that way. A lot of people died. A lot of Americans died unnecessarily."

Bobby "The Brain" DeNiro Is So Pro-Democracy He Wants a Council of Elders To Ban People He Doesn't Like From Running for President
nurse ratched asked for a "fun thread." I don't know if this counts, but maybe it does.
Batya Ungar-Sargon
@bungarsargon This is such a perfect example of how Trump broke the brains of so many on the Left. In the name of opposing "totalitarianism" and "defending democracy," DeNiro thinks there should be a body of elites who bar people from running for office, including someone who went on to win the popular vote. What's sad is that DeNiro is obviously experiencing immense, totalizing pain, genuine psychic distress at the outcome of an election. So much of their hatred of Trump is just an attempt to evade recognizing that democracy--their neighbors getting what they want when they vote in greater numbers--causes them searing psychic pain.
I recently managed to ferret my way into a green room where Robert De Niro was waiting to speak at an anti-Trump rally. I found a man confused, angry and bewildered at what America had become. He just could not understand who or what Donald Trump really was. He thinks someone… pic.twitter.com/hirsqo7JYZ

Exactly, some points of view are so toxic to the way things ought to be, that the people who espouse them must be silenced, ensuring by social or political pressure that no one can ever admit listening to them or supporting any part of what is said, and be called fascists or antisemites or something, so it is OK to destroy them.
Cass Sunstein was big on that, and lots of people thought it was so powerful a method, they should adopt it themselves.

So from the perspective of a leftist, this is just a short odd transient, an aberration from the established leftist norm. One man against the world who will be out of office soon and then it's time for seizing their rightful throne and exacting terrible vengeance against their vanquished enemies.

The antidote to those ideas is a healthy education system that teaches about those ideas in a balanced and ruthlessly honest manner - showing both bad and good (if there is any good in those ideologies) mixed with a strong dose of critical thinking skills.
Unfortunately, the commies figured this out and took over and poisoned our education system to do exactly the opposite.

He's got an $8 million mansion in Montauk and a 98 acres estate in Gardiner NY.west of Poughkeepsie, so he's plenty insulated from the progressive shit he whines about.

These are diffferent classes of ideas.
Fascism runs through every man's heart and requires education and morality, and a society to keep down.
Socialism (communism...) is the white noise of ideology. We are all socialists when infants and we learn about the world and learn that others are not there to provide for us. This requires teaching and education.
islam is a slave cult and must be banished.

"According to multiple current Trump administration officials with access to Pam Bondi, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, who was just named Acting Attorney General, has been the main roadblock holding up prosecutions of former Biden officials, state-level politicians, and Antifa terrorists. Todd Blanche personally shut down the DOJ’s “weaponization” task force and is responsible for sidelining Ed Martin.
Todd Blanche sees himself as a “principled” conservative and views investigations of Trump enemies like Jack Smith as an “abuse of power.” He has privately told staff that he will not “stoop to that level.”
Under Todd Blanche, the failure of the DOJ to investigate left-wing terrorists and former officials who prosecuted President Trump will only get worse."

It is why they are considered on the level with whores. They are whoring for attention. Some get very rich doing that.
Once they get rich, they get surrounded by a lower class of whore, the sycophant. The groupie. So now you have a rich attention seeking whore, and a money seeking attention giving whore and like two rats fucking in a coffee can on a hill, it just keeps rolling down faster and faster until it crashes.
So they still have coffee cans in USA? In Japan it is all bags. I miss the cans.

Up until 2008, the Dems had their "Super Delegates" which were party insiders that make up about a third of the delegates to the DNC. They were formed for the express purpose of stopping somebody like Jessee Jackson from becoming the nominee.
In 2008, Hillary had secured almost every super delegate to vote for her, and there was concern that those delegates would have put her over the top in 2008, so a push was made to get her to let them vote for Obama and not destroy his historic first and tick off the black vote.

The shift is that of the spectral lines caused by absorption of light by various molecules between the source and observer. They move redward or blueward depending on the velocity of the emitter relative to the observer. Assuming the light emits at all frequencies equally, the color of the object would appear the same at any redshift.

No, parallax from the spacecraft's translational motion would be effectively zero, so vanishingly small it would be (parallax from near stars over 6 months is pretty small over 1AU). They are rotating and changing attitude all the time, which would give you a relative motion of the background star field relative to the camera, but it would be slow.
Those are likely reflections of debris , ice particles, and other venting from the spacecraft.

Apparently it's supposed to be a 10-day mission, though the first day or so is just flying around the Earth, moving to high-Earth orbit, testing systems, etc., before actually beginning the main leg of their journey away from Earth.

The largest parallax from Earth orbit is less that one second of arc (360/60/60). A parsec is 3+ light years, Proxima Centaury is 4+ light years.

There's a rigid, uncompromising structure of ruling class institutions specifically designed to filter out any American from having a federal office, elected or appointed.
It's literally the entire purpose of the Acela Class government. It's all it does. NO AMERICANS. It's more exclusive toward us even than Republican Rome was toward Italians.
Trump just fucked it all it up. He slipped through. He was the guy it was all made to stop, and it failed.

This is similar, yet very different to the Apollo mission TLI trajectories. It has to do with the SLS/Orion's delta-v budget. Go to the Artemis tracker here, get the hang of the 3D view controls, and you'll see the trajectory.
Rotate it around to see the orbital plane of the Moon vs the spacecraft and how the free return slingshot changes planes of the spacecraft:

Another constraint on the Artemis trajectory that didn't apply to Apollo was Orion is solar powered, while Apollo used fuel cells. They can't let Orion be in the dark for much over an hour or so (I'm sure they've got contingencies, but normal mission profile needs sunlight).
That put a lot more constraints on the timing and trajectories compared to Apollo.

A parsec is 3.2 light years I think. There are no stars in that radius from us.

I think DeNiro is just left-brain dumb. The only reason he has any say in anything is that he had so much success in the movies that he became a political _donor_. And like a donor thinks he needs to tell people what they owe him for the money. He's shelling out, and Trump's getting elected president and the Republicans (in some form) control both houses, and conservative cases win in the SCOTUS.
That's got to be frustrating.
Posted by: Axeman at April 02, 2026 05:33 PM (Fi81e)
============
This is the crux of the argument about Trump. To the left, this is honest, to the right is it total bullshit.
Fake charges never leveled against anyone else, ie, a completely novel prosecution, in a court so fatally biased that the judge's family was making money off the case while it was ongoing!, and the corrupt prosecutor is herself an actual criminal. The conviction resulted in no actual penalty, and even as a conviction was just a symbol to the left.
Simple justice demands this be overturned. But, a National Exorcism is going to be necessary to get it out of the minds of lefties.

One reason is that the female body doesn't handle being dirty as well as the male body.

Fine. I will use Ace's Time Machine to go back in time and tell the pioneer women that crossed the plains and the Oregon trail to stay home.

See the ONT last night. They did a piss dump. And they had to upload procedures for the piss dump. While the space toilet was on the fritz, they had to use the CCU, collapsible contingency urinal. And then they had to dump it.
My mind was blown to learn they had to turn some heaters on in the system to warm up the piss before venting. Otherwise it would freeze and clog up the outlet nozzle. So, hot piss dump in space.

Water released into space boils off until it pulls enough heat out to freeze, then continues to sublimate. This close to the Sun, there's enough light flux to sublimate it all away and quickly.
Now, way out in the outer solar system, some ice would remain and is would cold enough the vapor pressure would get very small.
By heating the outlet tube and nozzle, they keep the liquid stream from freezing before it clears the spacecraft.

It was interesting that (to my eye) it took about 20ish seconds for the rocket to get at the level of the commercial air liner.
Just a reminder of how far it is to escape our atmosphere, and even more to escape our orbit.

Hell yes!!!! In fact, when they do their first orbit of the Moon, that colonialist Canadian Astronaut is going to have to make a Land Acknowledgement to the original moon landers (the United States of America) or he gets tossed out the hatch.
In fact, any future moon landings by countries other than the US will require a stipend tribute (there will be a collection dish) as well as a heart felt Land Acknowledgement to the original occupants. Those from India will receive a memo reminding them to pick up their trash. Chinese missions will receive a memo warning them not to steal anything.

Get a piece of plywood that is larger than the strike zone.
Drill several holes in it, bit enough for a Softball to pass through. Number them / Color them...whatever. Make the kid pitch to those holes until he can thread those needles at will.
Then rotate 90 degrees, rinse and repeat.
Repetition. It builds muscle memory.
Same approach as hitting off a tee.

If I manage to hit a shot down the middle, that either means it was barely off the ground. A really long putt with a driver basically, or I hit a very good drive down the middle, and the second shot will find some hazard, somewhere, because golf hates me. I continue to play though.

Called the "Block Party Bonanza," the new initiative will bring, what officials called "Life, Liberty, and Happiness celebration kits" to help neighbors present block parties in their communities for America's birthday celebrations.
The kits will be filled with "decorations, games, activities, and supplies to spark celebration and civic pride," officials said. (Plus a $250 gift card!)
"I love this. I don't think there's anything more symbolic of the sense of strength, unity, resilience, pride, and quite frankly, what I often reference as 'Philly swag,'" Parker said during the morning event. "When you come to a Philadelphia block party, no matter where you go, whatever the neighborhood is, their food is cooking, the music that is indigenous to that community is playing and the mayor, because I know how to cut a rug, is dancing wherever I am! And that is the best that Philadelphia has to offer."
When have you ever seen, "... the music that is indigenous to that community."

The timing comes down to apparently Bondi gave a heads up to Swallwell about the pending FBI release of their investigation of him and Fang Fang so he can contest it. And this is allegedly.
My guess is that post Iran, Trump wants a new team in place before heading into the midterms and AFAIK, Zeldin or perhaps Pirro may get the tap.
Sort of like Walz and Signalgate, Trump engineered a soft landing apparently for Bondi in the private sector.
And fwiw, the average tenure in a Cabinet office is less than 2 years (something like 18 months or so).

Also of some amusement was the Flat Earth "Final Experiment". Somebody offered to fly some of these guys to Antarctica to see the 24 hour sun. They had agreed that would be impossible on their flat earth disc map.
Some chickened out, but some did go. They got down there (after all this crazy DIY compass and bearing stuff to prove to themselves they were really going South), and lo and behold saw the midnight sun in Antarctica.
Some of them admitted, well hell, it's true. The other flat earther's immediately accused them of being part of the conspiracy, of selling out to Satan.

Trump's pardon is another one challenging recent practice like the reading of the 14th allowing anchor babies. Apparently the early belief was that the President's pardons DID actually cover all criminal prosecutions whether state or federal.
And it makes a sort of sense. Kings had absolute pardon power as it was simply a circuit breaker to prevent injustice.
One cannot become a tyrant by pardoning people in a world of negative liberties. Only by putting them in prison unjustly.
The risk is that a Dem in office would simply pardon all of their criminal supporters simply to get votes.

It's like the science director of the first ever mission to land a probe on a comet. At the moment of triumph, he was publicly tormented and humiliated by mutants over a custom "Charlie's Angels" themed shirt he was wearing. The outrage was fake, contrived, and utterly unwarranted, but his craven management required him to make a public apology. Instead of answering questions about the mission, he had a public struggle session about a god damn shirt.
Or the attempt to take the name of James Webb off the revolutionary space telescope recently put into position, over fake accusations of his supposed racism. They failed.

There are multiple passages that refer to the earth as a sphere, and describe it as round. How much the people understood about this is uncertain, but the Bible does not definitively describe the earth as flat. IT contains poetic passages that talk about the "four corners" of the earth etc, but that's like saying "sunrise" even though we know the earth spins and the sun is static relative to earth.

Even the ancient Greeks knew that the Earth was curved along the North-South axis. They were less certain about the East-West axis. Apparently, they envisioned Earth as a big cylinder. But that actually makes sense, given the constraints of their known world.

Sounds like nonsense. The Mercator map, for example unrolls a sphere onto a cylinder. Its advantage is that if you sail a ship using the bearing gotten by drawing a line on the Mercator map, you actually get there on the real sea. If the Earth was not a globe, this would not work.
The fact that different stars show as you move N or S also is hard to explain if the earth is flat.

Not necessarily so. States themselves are limited by their own state constitutions and not following those in mostly blue states is debatable whether those states are actually fulfilling the Bill of Rights. Notice that even the Colorado appellate court threw back sentencing based on Colorado's violation of federal free speech rights.
The normal resort is to the federal courts via a habeas act but that is very difficult until appeals go all the way up to final resolution in the state court system.
There is an old maxim in law--every right must have a remedy and a right with no remedy (redressibility) is not a right at all.
A presidential pardon is simply another remedy for a rights violation. FWIW, you might want to read Madison's Federalist 46 regarding state versus federal relations. Inevitably, he holds that the PEOPLE of the US, not the states, determine who is to be superior in disputes.

Epistemology is a highbrow study, but lots of people who have little training in logic also want to know how we know what we know is valid.
Flat earthers are loons who get stuck on stupid, but that desire for truth is there, aching for resolution. It is also the basis for gnosticism, which is poison because it promises that reality is false and the hidden knowledge is available for good boys a girls.

I read the original Hollow Earth Theory book (not sure if I own it) but I remember it saying early on: "Scientists say that the earth weighs 6x10^24 kg. This is much too large" .. well OK then.
The real issue for the world inside the hollow earth would be that gravity inside the shell would be virtually 0, it all cancels out

They did...Ancient Greek astronomer Eratosthenes proved the world was round and calculated its circumference (c. 240 BCE) using shadows cast by the sun. By measuring the angle of a shadow in Alexandria while knowing the sun was directly overhead at noon in Syene (where no shadow was cast), he calculated the Earth's curvature

Multiple heavens == celestial spheres. Score one!
Now, Isaiah 40 is Second Isaiah, who preached Cyrus' gospel to the returning Jews, which means this Isaiah got that lore from the Babylonians. They might have sussed out the round earth before the Greeks...

As Part of JD Vance's Anti-Fraud Task Force, Feds Raid Fake Hospice Fraudsters In California
Remember earlier stories about, what, 89 "hospice care" "businesses" operating in a ten square block area of LA? Hospice care is care for the terminally ill. It can be expensive, but the care is brief: Most people who enter hospice care die within two or three weeks. That's not the case in the Hospice Care Businesses being raided. Astonishingly, after eight months of care for the terminally ill, these Modern Miracle Factories have achieved a ninety-seven plus percent survival rate. And I'm not making that number up, that's from the Fox video report below the fold. Even though these Resurrection Mills are bringing the dead back to life, the anti-science thug JD Vance wants to arrest them instead of giving them all Congressional Medals of Super-Science! NYP:
The Patriot Oasis
@ThePatriotOasis
🚨BREAKING: Vice President JD Vance says his Fraud Task Force is NOT wasting time after the California raid this morning. VANCE: "Our task force isn't wasting any time cracking down on fraud." "This morning in the LA area, federal law enforcement is taking down fraudsters who stole $50M+ from Americans by defrauding our healthcare and hospice systems."
The home of a husband and wife who own a Southern California hospice accused of committing $7 million in fraud was raided by FBI agents in conjunction with Health and Human Services early Thursday morning. The raid is one of several that took place as part of a massive federal effort to address widespread fraud in the state in coordination with Vice President JD Vance's Fraud Taskforce -- and the California Post was there. In dramatic fashion, the couple, Amelou Gill and Gladwin Gill, who operate St. Francis Palliative Care in Anaheim, were arrested at their home by an FBI SWAT team as authorities sawed through the metal front gates of their property and called with loudspeakers for them to come out. Dr. Mehmet Oz, the Administrator for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, was on the scene as well and said the couple created a hospice in their daughter's name and bilked millions of dollars from taxpayers. "Since 2022, there have been allegations, but for four years, what seems to be typical in California, nothing was done," he said. Their hospice had a mortality rate of just 2.3% over the last five years, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Dr. Oz told the California Post that CMS has suspended "hundreds" of hospice licenses in California. "In 10 weeks we're getting close to what Governor Newsom did in four years," he said. ... Dr. Fariba Javaherian is a registered dermatologist, but according to CMS billing data obtained by The Post, she is associated with 63 hospice facilities across California either as a medical director, attending physician or in some other capacity.Apparently there are millions of terminally ill patients dying of Problem Acne.
Remember, the very very smart Smarties of the Left insisted that JD Vance's posting as anti-fraud task force commissioner was some kind of political setback, because it's a big waste of time because Fraud Is Fake. The Science (TM) says so. While the reality is 100% the opposite. I'm not a JD Vance booster any longer, but conservative voters are keen to finally have fraud investigated and punished after seventy years of politicians promising that to us, and they will reward Vance for doing the job that until now American politicians just wouldn't do.
The National Provider Identifier (NPI) registered with Dr. Javaherian, a unique 10-digit number given to individual health care providers, was used for 1,662 unique patients across the 63 hospice agencies and appeared on more than 6,000 claims that billed $35,816,331.
Following The Post's investigation, CMS revoked Javaherian's license to bill Medicare and suspended the license of at least 16 hospice agencies associated with the dermatologist. "Dr. Javaherian's white coat was a costume," CMS Administrator Dr. Oz said. Javaherian is not accused of any wrongdoing.

The lower-level frontmen, yes. But this is almost certainly all run by organized crime at the top. The LA hospice care fraud is reportedly run by the Russian and Armenian (!) mobs.

I don't mean going on podcasts, as I think strong sharp conservatives can hold their own against any enemy. I mean that he seems too personally close to them. It's a red flag for me.

Early reports said there was like $8B of fraud just in Minnesota, then reports that California was much worse.
And if we only get one Somali arrested for each $20M of stolen funds, we are not doing so well. I'm sure that's a trade Ilhan is happy to take. Somalian Pirates come cheap, you know.

Trump just pardoned a proven hospice fraudster, so I guess he's okay with it.
I am once again asking Newsom to grow a fucking pair and start using the full force of California’s Democratic supermajority to crack down on Silicon Valley’s collaboration with MAGA. Vance is a Thiel puppet.
I don’t give a shit about the mean tweets your interns wrote, Gavin. I want to see you drive a stake through the heart of MAGA’s social media manipulation strategy. I want to see the state of California seizing Palantir and Twitter offices

BREAKING: Swalwell NDA Sexual Abuse story heating up FAST!
My anonymous source is reporting a major media outlet is talking to THREE women this afternoon; one has receipts and one is a former Kamala Harris staffer.
My guess is that Katie Porter is trying to hustle Swalwell off the race. Presently two Republicans are taking up the top of the "jungle" primary. Which means no Democrats will be in the runoff.
If Swalwell sinks below 10%, Porter stands to benefit from whatever women are still supporting that flatulent sleaze (and from simps). This might put her in second place which means she'll win the runoff.

sadly the support from the pundit-sphere and GOP party politics is not "who will be the best person for the job," but "who will be the best person for MY job."
Vance is not connected to old money and old power centers, and most of the big punditry is deeply tied to those.
He IS tied to new money and tech bros, and he IS charming and dedicated, and he did grow up in one of the disposable fly-over states IS the son of an addict who's drugs came through a network overseen by cartels, the CIA and enabled by foreign wars.
He has the wrong friends and the wrong relatives, and as usual they do not call him white trash because he is disposable, they call him white trash as a pretext for disposing of him.

So the HospiceMD guy weighed in: HospiceMD does not manage individual user accounts, and it responds to all fraud allegations. HospiceMD hasn't been accused of any wrongdoing either.

Yeah but the President's lawyer did a terrible job making his case, it was depressing. I predict a 7-2 loss for he constitution and America.

He can't admit that he's already converted. He's the freaking head of the Gay Church of England.

Anyway, I hope there's a few more of these late-night raids. That Gill couple in cuffs and PJs looking all stunned might scare a few people.
Better still if the FBI starts raiding the passive facilitators who failed to report these crimes, with a loud warning that if you know anything, you are legally obligated to speak up, and you could be jailed if you don't.

Bank account, sorta. Body, no. The Army did a hell of a lot more damage in 20+ years to my lifer son's body than playing hockey in 4 states and Canada for 11.
Plus, he had a helluva good time, and I drank a lot of beer in Pizza parlors all over the west.

Again.
Block oil and/or fuel exports, except to Japan and S. Korea.
US fuel prices plummet, European prices rocket.
Now, UK, France, Spain, etc. What are you going to do?

Every dollar, over a million, in my taxes, may have been stolen.
All wasted.
I am so angry I could punch a Californian.
