Thursday Night's ONT has Taken Off Its Considering Cap
What does that even mean? Has Dave been drinking again? Well, no, but that's exactly what it means. Benjamin Franklin compiled a list of terms for being drunk. I like antiquated words. I always promise myself that I'll start using them, but I rarely do. For example, this is a word that I personally would use a lot, if I remembered it:
Color Me Interested
Inside the Library That Holds the World’s Rarest ColorsWe Have a Winner in the The Headline Game
Food For Thought It was announced today that Jeff Bezos is now worth $105 billion. Here's a picture of him, running his mighty online empire, in 1999. Makes me wonder what the hell I am doing with my life.
Maps I think maps are really cool. Largest early world map stitched together virtually. You can click through and examine each of the segments of the map in high resolution. I wasted about an hour the other day doing just that.
March For Life Tomorrow is the March For Life in DC. Last year I wrote a short thread called 'Why We March”. Since you can't comment on old threads, I'm copying it here for those that haven't seen it:
Why We March *Mumble mumble* years ago, a young woman found her life shattered. She had fallen for a man who turned out to be a cad. He left her alone and pregnant, to return to a wife and kids that she had known nothing about. Scared and humiliated, she traveled to Texas. There she gave birth to a son. The nurse handed her the baby, and then realized that this was an adoption case and took him away. Sobbing, she thought “He's going to a better life. He's going to people who will love and care for him, as I can't” And I did. But she was wrong. She may not have been able to care for me, but I never for a moment believed that she didn't love me. 35 years later we met again, for the first time, and I told her that. And that's why I have 2 moms. This is what #MarchForLife means to me.Related: Pope Francis Honors Dutch Abortion Activist with Pontifical Medal of Knighthood. Now, I am not a Catholic, so I don't have a deep understanding of a lot of this stuff. As I understand it, the Pope has two, I dunno what to call it, modes maybe? In his “official mode”, he can make statements that are considered to be church doctrine-an accurate representation of God's will, teachings, whatever. Outside of that, he's just a man and can be as fallible as anyone else. I understand the reasoning and agree with it, it's just a different form of a discussion I've been having lately WRT politicians, most recently “How can you support Donald Trump when he is an adulterer and you think adultery is a moral failing?”. My answer is that DJT isn't my moral compass, he's a politician and his job is to run the country. If he's doing a good job at that, whatever moral failings he may have are immaterial. I may not like them, I may even condemn them personally, but it's his job performance that I'm concerned with. This is not a blanket statement, there are moral failings which would disqualify someone from the office, but adultery is not one of them. But the presidency is a secular office. The papacy is not, and celebrating and rewarding someone who advocates for a position that is so morally repugnant to the stated beliefs of the Church seems very, very wrong to me. I would appreciate the thoughts of actual Catholics on the matter.
Slower Than Molasses Running Uphill in January 99 years ago this week it wasn't very slow at all. January 15, 1918 was the date of the Great Molasses Flood in Boston. Scientists finally decode the Great Molasses Flood of 1919
"Molasses, waist deep, covered the street and swirled and bubbled about the wreckage ... Here and there struggled a form – whether it was animal or human being was impossible to tell," the Boston Post reported at the time. "Only an upheaval, a thrashing about in the sticky mass, showed where any life was ... Horses died like so many flies on sticky fly-paper. The more they struggled, the deeper in the mess they were ensnared. Human beings – men and women – suffered likewise."Sounds like an awful way to die.
Memes A corollary to Ace's excellent post from last night, Trump's Basic Instincts About the Political War Are Essentially Right, and The Establishment's Sense of It Is Essentially Wrong. If Ace is right, and I believe that he is, one of the strongest weapons in the fight to reduce the Left's social status is mockery, and the modern day meme is a great way to do that. I made two this week about Cory Booker's rant in committee:

How can one be ordered to volunteer?
Well, when your annual performance review is dependent on it...
I don't know when it started in industry. I suspect it's the descendant of "voluntary" donations to United Way -- executives apparently compete with each other over how much their people donate, so it became more expected than voluntary. That practice caught some heat, so now it's "show how the company gives back to the community" with mandatory volunteering.
All the while the same managers are walking around bug-eyed because we're "behind" on schedules they pulled out of their asses.
Maybe if they cancelled all the pep rallies, we'd have time to do our work?

Either way that one turned out, there was a player who broke the fundamental rules of football.
The Safety, of course, should have wrapped up the receiver. Simply hug him - Game Over.
But, the Receiver turned in with only 8 seconds on the running clock. If the Safety didn't completely whiff the tackle - Game Over.

My second real job, mumbly-mumble years ago, was with a company that decided to spin off a couple of guys as "team building consultants". So we were their test subjects.
The exercises were always just cruel jokes, and did nothing for the sense of being a team.

Even some sarcastic, Horde-worthy acid comments from public figures on the "dynamic, multi-cultural" Sweden that has been achieved. Through, well, you know.
So my understanding is that a significant portion of whatever essentially farcical military (ground) forces maintained by both France and Italy have been assigned to protecting Jewish and other potential targets *inside these countries* for some time.
If Sweden goes military internally, we'll have three major European countries whose "national security" activities essentially boil down to defending against threats they have all willingly, optionally, and consciously, imported.

But now, people are paying attention, and news spreads.
To solve this, the Vatican needs to distinguish between handing out souvenirs from the gift shop - a book on why the Church believes that abortion is wrong, for instance - and handing out medals, especially medals with the name of a Pope on them.

I have a pet theory that a chunk of the surviving Templars wound up in Switzerland, which was then city states. The Templars were one of the few banking powers of that age in Europe and the Swiss love them some banking. Also, the Pope's bodyguards are the Swiss Guard.
True or not, I doubt the Templars would not have been all open arms towards Muslim refugees.

I doubt it'll work long-term. Sure, the military might (key word) be able to tamp things down in the short term. But unless the government is willing to take the time, effort, and expense involved in completely dismantling the gangs, then it's just slapping a Band-Aid on the situation. They'll end up with something like the West Bank.
Or they could deport everyone. But they won't do that.

I have very grave reservations about the current Pontiff.

I was a little stunned by that question because I wouldn't have thought the guy had given ten seconds thought about the matter.

Do all the cases relating to state's legally forbidding cooperation with the feds on something date back to the Civil War era, or were there even any analogous cases?
Unless the law has been significantly changed, I would think electing to actually enforce the actual terms governing H1Bs - say, to CA tech companies, just for an example, heh - would be a nukyler hammer that would make the dumb, racist, authoritarians in Sacramento cry like Corey Booker, or a 9-yr old girl.

The papacy is not, and celebrating and rewarding someone who advocates

Church seems very, very wrong to me. I would appreciate the thoughts of
actual Catholics on the matter.
It seems that the exchange of these diplomatic honors or whatever to people of such questionable character have effectively diminished the Order of St. Gregory. It's a totally counterproductive PR move, and stupid.
The Pope has certain duties as head of State, but mixing such activities in such a foolish way cannot be good.

Betake
Pettifoggery
But yea, it can be tough to use them. And you don't want to make people feel bad for not knowing them...or have them think you are crazy for making up words. So I tend to stick with friends when using them.

I was adopted at birth. I never tried to find my birth mother. I figured it was water under the bridge. I also considered some scenarios where a reunion might have been awkward.
But she did well. I've have a great life and I never resented her for a moment.

corner of the blind to take a leak.
As luck would have it, his foolish dog Ginger knocked the gun over, it
went off and Lyle took most of an ounce of #4 shot in the groin .
Several hours later, lying in a Duluth hospital bed, he came to, and
there was his doctor, Sven. "Vell Lyle, I got some good noos and some
bad noos. Da good noos is dat you're going to be OK. Da damage vas local
to your groin, dere was very little internal
damage, and I vas able to remove all of da birdshot."
"What's the bad news?", asks Lyle.
"The bad noos is dat dere vas some pretty extensive shot damage done to
your pecker. I'm going to have to refer you to my sister, Lena.
"Well, I guess the news could be worse," says Lyle. "Your sister's a plastic surgeon?"
"Well, not exactly," Sven says. "She's a flute player in da Minneapolis
Symphony Orchestra, and since all you got is Obamacare, she's going to
teach you where to put your fingers so you don't piss in your eye."

My first impulse is to say that the report being cited is from the MSM, which means that it must be taken with a pound or two of salt.
However, if it is literally true, well, the Church has survived corrupt popes, stupid popes, even multiple popes waging war on each other. She will survive this one, too.
But the College of Cardinals should be slapped silly for even *thinking* of electing a Jesuit as pope!

Snollygoster
Snollygoster is a 19th century American word for "a dishonest or corrupt politician". Or, to take an original definition from the editor of a Georgia newspaper: "a snollygoster is a fellow who wants office, regardless of party, platform or principles, and who, whenever he wins, gets there by the sheer force of monumental talknophical assumnacy".
If ever a word need to make a comeback, this it.

IMHO the annoying thing about theology is that for several questions there are no tests that can be performed to prove one belief being right as opposed to another. Baptism for instance, which model is correct? All you are left with is arguing about interpretation of the text. Is language by nature so ambiguous that you need a magisterium to disambiguate things as questions arise? Or are the relevant passages in total precise enough and anyone who disagrees is merely being obtuse? I don't know. Makes me glad to have a dog in this fight.

figured it was water under the bridge. I also considered some scenarios
where a reunion might have been awkward.
She found me. Or rather, she hired a detective agency who tracked me down and said "We were hired by your birth mother to give you the option of knowing who she is. If you don't want to, that is totally your choice, but if you do, we have her name and number". I thought for a sec, shrugged and said "Why not?". They gave it to me, I called her number, and when she answered I said "Hey, haven't seen you in about 35 years, what have you been up to?".

"Hillary wouldn't kill anyone who stands in her way of becoming President."
Weelllllll a whole lot of bodies of people who died in mysterious circumstances seem to stack up around the Clintons. People who were inconvenient. Do I think sick Hillary is putting on a mask and dark clothes and with traipsing around Arkansas and NY and DC and elsewhere with a knife-nope, but the Clintons have a crime cartel, have had it for years . if you've that wealthy you don't have to be the actual murderer to get things "taken care of."

Well, she knew you had a sense of humor right off the bat! That must have broken the ice a bit.
She seemed respectful to do it that way. Some people just call or show up outta the blue, and that seems hard for the person blind-sided.

I truly believe we have a hell of a lot to learn about and from dolphins and whales. I think we humans have tended to write them off as "dumb" animals because they comfortably inhabit an environment we know pathetically little about. And we have simply been too damn lazy and arrogant to explore their place in the oceans and the ins and outs of these creatures societies. Scientists are very, very slowly coming to realize that dolphins and cetaceans are incredibly intelligent.
Elephants, too. I'll be the first to admit I am a member of the lowest ranks when it comes to understanding elephant societies and customs. But I have read enough to understand that elephant societies are every bit as complex and well organized as human societties.
Homo sapiens need to get its head out of its posterior, and take a long, serious look at creatures we have too long seen as nothing more than commodies.
We spend incredible time and money on SETI. But we can learn to converse with and learn from alien culture without leaving Earth.

I got the medical examiner's report for my beloved Faye. She had blockage in a cardiac artery.
So the evidence is she died suddenly without struggle. That means there was nothing I could have done, which relieves me of any fear that I could have done something different.
A lot of you have left phone numbers. That's very much appreciated. I will get to you. I need and want to talk.
I'm back in the house but not alone as I have a niece with me.
Oh and a couple of men from my church are going on a mission trip to the Philippines. I know this would be very healing to spend time away with a couple of friends doing stuff I love and am good at.

If it is as bad as portrayed, then our MSM missed out on a chance to do their actual job, and possibly win a Pulitzer. Instead they all got on the crazy train and sold their ethics and souls. Idiots.
I wonder if Obama is mentioned in this memo. He has always kept his hands clean and let others do his dirty work. I kinda think he will have escaped the sword again.

One angle of attack I read about was the blame for that situation happening was . . . home schooling. You see, there are no 'inspections', etc. Expect CA to issue some draconian new laws regulating home schoolers. Meanwhile, San Bernardino didn't cause the CA legislature to pass draconian laws regulating muzzies.

Well, my only criticism of home schooling, if the kids were home schooled, is that home schooling does not seem to teach useful real world lessons. No way some parents on the south side of Chicago would have taken so long to escape.

Housecats have slit pupils, like snakes. Big cats like lions have round pupils. Are housecats more closely related to snakes than to big cats? Makes you wonder if "geneticists" fixate on an arbitrary set of attributes to determine how closely species are related.

I got the medical examiner's report for my beloved Faye. She had blockage in a cardiac artery.
So the evidence is she died suddenly without struggle. That means there was nothing I could have done, which relieves me of any fear that I could have done something different.
A lot of you have left phone numbers. That's very much appreciated. I will get to you. I need and want to talk.
I'm back in the house but not alone as I have a niece with me.
Oh and a couple of men from my church are going on a mission trip to the Philippines. I know this would be very healing to spend time away with a couple of friends doing stuff I love and am good at.

Wouldn't doubt it for a minute.
I was really good at searching the web (and enjoyed it) before google made everything easy by stealing all of Altavista's brilliant ideas. When info was like a needle in a haystack, there was a bit of a chase to it. A thrill. Not that I would go back, but we're on the other end of it now and the web is beginning to be like searching for hay in a stack of needles.
And on top of that, it seems we're only ever a click away from very disturbing images. Combine that with Fake News, the droll selfish arrogant pointlessness of social media, the clickbait "We Say Goodbye to Jason Bateman" type ads, the lack of privacy, and the totalitarian censorship of the left, I'm beginning to really hate it.That said, the nice parts of the web are still nice. If you want to learn something, anything, you can do it from actual experts for basically the cost of your internet service, and that part still makes me feel a sort of childlike wonder for the world we live in.

Anyway, there was a time when it looked like graphic design would take a real front seat on the web, which was quite exciting, but the competition for search presence and google's nudging to what it alone deems to be "good web design" has virtually eliminated individuality and steered the web to this place.
That has its advantages and there are few things worse than a badly designed website. But every place you go now is a carbon copy of the last and next one.

Obama and Dubya were grating, I've never been able to get through any speech delivered by them. Again Trump is just ... unobjectionable by comparison. A matter of taste? I'm not sure why this was such a widespread issue for so many, though I'm glad a lot of people see past it.

Life long metal guitar player. It used to be easy. people ask what do you play? I say metal. Ah, ok.
Then chuckleheads over the years invented a dozen or so splinter genres of metal, some that have nothing to do with it, so when I got asked I had to start being specific. Speed metal, power metal, etc. A bass player called me a berserker one time, reflecting my sometimes over the top approach to things, so it kind of stuck. These days I'm more aligned with the European style Viking metal, and Vikings can be called dragonheads, soooo Berserker-dragonheads division.

You're not as far off as you think. I adopted this nic over 20 years ago when I first ventured online. I found myself on a very far-left message board where everyone was all about group sex and trannys and the "empowerment" of LGBTQRSTUVWhatever. All I wanted was a house, 2.4 kids and a vine covered wife in the suburbs. Folks there thought that was weird, so I adopted that as a nic.
It's not as bad as it sounds, I met my wife over there. If they hadn't banned me for rubbing an asshole's nose in his Israel hypocracy, I might never have found this place.

I find it ironically funny that the sanctuary city/state dead enders are the new Rebels, flouting Federal Law. Why, it's like 1860 all over again as, that time, a Republican was elected president and the Dems went apeshit and eventually seceded, causing quite a little dust-up.
The left sees no irony in them being the new Rebels tearing down statues of Rebels from yesteryear.

I'm about to open Schrodinger's box, to see if the thing that should be there is there or not. For that is the question. If the thing is there, the game moves to the next level where another thing has to be obtained.
If the thing is not there, then another path must be taken to obtain the thing that should be there.
At least, the uncertainty of existence will be resolved, leaving only the uncertainty of obtaining the thing that must be obtained before the end of civilization as we know it.
For existence is in a state of flux and uncertainty is the natural state of things until the moment of truth when the government man says, "I need to see your identification," and that is pass or fail. Failure would be a nightmare, and avoiding that nightmare requires that I open Schrodinger's box.
I need another beer.

As to the 'new' Pope - who has the 'old' Pope under house arrest - I'm reminded of an old story about when the Church came down opposed to birth control and an old Italian woman stuck her finger in that Pope's face and proclaimed, "You no playa da game, you no make a da rules."
Of course, it's a joke, it never actually happened but it's indicative of the mindset of many many Catholics who find a Popes edicts a whole lot less than the word of God himself. They still have reverence to the church, but will pretty much ignore what the guy at the top has to say if they disagree.

That's good. One of the horse far,s near me let the horses out of the barn a could of days ago. The cows are just cold.
It was a brutal cold. But let see what February has in store. The National Weather Service predictions have been inaccurate a season in advance.
On that note: work preps commence.
Have a beautiful day.

----------
While driving across Iowa one winter morning before sun up when the air temperature was below zero, I saw a herd of cows next to the freeway. Too many to count in one quick glance; say fifty or more. They were sheltering in a small low area and tightly packed together. You could see the body heat of the animals rising up as steam in the very cold and dry air.
What was amusing were the cows on the outside ring who were trying to push their way into the center of the herd and were being fought off by those animals that were in the center of the herd who didn't want to be push out into the cold.

We *maybe* will hit a seasonal average high temperature today. First time in 7 days. Before that we had two days of seasonal, after 16 consecutive days of never hitting average.
Out of 25 days, only two days hit average seasonal highs. Can't wait to see my electric bill.

Really? I even looked up your nic once and couldn't figure it out. There was a character named Krebs in an early Hemingway story and he had one about bike racing but it wasn't that.
Krebs means crabs and also means cancer, btw.

Krebs cycle (biochemistry)
The Krebs cycle, also known as the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA), was first recognized in 1937 by the man for whom it is named, German biochemist Hans Adolph Krebs. His highly detailed and extensive research in the field of cellular metabolism and other scientific endeavors gleaned him the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1953. Krebs's contributions to the fields of science and medicine are substantial; in addition to the citric acid cycle, Krebs also identified the urea cycle in 1932.
Carnot cycle (thermodynamics)
The Carnot cycle is a theoretical thermodynamic cycle proposed by French physicist Sadi Carnot in 1824 and expanded upon by others in the 1830s and 1840s. It provides an upper limit on the efficiency that any classical thermodynamic engine can achieve during the conversion of heat into work, or conversely, the efficiency of a refrigeration system in creating a temperature difference (e.g. refrigeration) by the application of work to the system. It is not an actual thermodynamic cycle but is a theoretical construct.
Biochemistry and thermodynamics were the two fundamental fields on which my Ph.D. thesis work was conducted.

"I would appreciate the thoughts of actual Catholics on the matter."
I was one. The current il Papa would excommunicate me, if he could. Anyhoo, I would say that he's in a state of sin for honoring an abortion advocate.
Of the variety that it would be better to have a millstone around your neck, and cast into deep water, lest he lead astray even one believer.
