Evening, all.
For those who missed it.... sadly, I was not selected for the job. The recruiter is supposed to ask 'why not' and get back to me. I am so frustrated today I just can't even. The only other 'lead' I had that was recent, had gone silent - I had assumed it was 'nevermind'-ed. I reached out to that recruiter anyway, and he said the client has gone silent on them. Who the heck knows anymore anything. Continued prayers, please. I have faith that God has a plan for me but dangit I'm getting real tired of this. I'd like to see some signs on which path I'm supposed to take, please.

I had a very cool college roommate who ate squirrel regularly. And, not that canned crap. He'd stoop to recent roadkill. The dude was a biology major and always had cool little tricks to keep us entertained. One of our neighbors liked to play music outside so loud that they could hear it in the next county. No problem. He kept a supply of Bee pheromones, went over and chatted with the guy will covertly sprinkling it on his patio. Less than an hour later there was a carpet of bees right before his patio door. The topper was that (we'll call my friend Craig) convinced the guy that his music drew the bees out. Craig was just a fun guy to have around inclusive of the sun lamp garden of questionable plants in his closet that might have been illegal at the time.

Aw, RandomDave, I'm so sorry to hear your news. I hope you get answers or info from your recruiter soon. I'd bet there was a small difference between you and another candidate. I did some hiring at my last job and can tell you that it usually comes down to weighing tiny factors. After all, by the time interviewees are chosen, the pool has been narrowed to the closest matches for the job. It can be a tough decision for the employer.

Thanks for the ONT. Almost too much to process!
Sort of like four days this week alternating the baby grandgirl with her older siblings. The 8yr old grandson & 5yr old girlie spent the night. Reading one of her favorite books that I bought 7yrs ago called Going to School by Suzanne Green. Kitties that are dressed & photos taken. Even with the first page saying to PETA that the photos are taken with high shutter speeds & no drugs or cruelty the book was discontinued. Amazon: $30. On ebay it is worth over $100. I'd promised I'd buy one for her best friend but I don't like her this much. I paid $7 for it. She fell out laughing at one kitty's face and I joined her. When we get like this we can't stop for awhile. My dude and her bro heard us from downstairs. We have the same laugh and look alike and I never dreamed I'd have her one day. I guess I will send the kitty photo via text to her Mom. I think Charles Wideneck McDowell has a goiter. The laundry dial looks like how our sons did laundry in college. Eldest son, his freshman year in an apt with washer/dryer, solved the underwear problem by buying new ones and throwing used ones away every month. We raised morons.

It made me laugh. Always a nice gift. 58 School started here in the last week of July. Posted by: Bertram Cabot, Jr. My part of Canada - September - after Labor Day. Since Ralphy turned 15, 105 in dog years I guess, I've been congratulating him on making it through each day and making it through the night. It started as a joke but has increased my gratitude levels. Last night at 2am, I got up, Snowflake got up, Ralphy got up. Ralphy got a burst of energy, chased Snowflake and actually trapped her between the door and wall. Quick tag with the nose. She was it. Game over. Snowflake looked stunned the old guy was that quick so early in the morning. Posted by: Stateless - Keeping 15 year old Ralphy happy and alive.

Teresa, kids can be little nuts, or mine are. Not biters except once to her big brother here over a child's mop.
I was very opposed to their private school daycare but it's worked out well to meet at 2yrs and some go through 12th grade together. Three classes per grade and very good academics. Last year the PreK 4yr old girl introduced me to Libby at their Christmas play. Informed me in front of her mother that she bites. I quietly told her not to say this in the future. When she was 2yrs old I figured she'd survive daycare when she started stealing snacks from slow or picky eaters. Then demanding "pouches" from the teacher. I had pride she was a survivor then and no more worries. Her parents were the only ones who were requested to buy more food for our little piggie thief.

18 Evening, all.
For those who missed it.... sadly, I was not selected for the job. The recruiter is supposed to ask 'why not' and get back to me. I am so frustrated today I just can't even. The only other 'lead' I had that was recent, had gone silent - I had assumed it was 'nevermind'-ed. I reached out to that recruiter anyway, and he said the client has gone silent on them. Who the heck knows anymore anything. Continued prayers, please. I have faith that God has a plan for me but dangit I'm getting real tired of this. I'd like to see some signs on which path I'm supposed to take, please.

My theory on laundry is one & done, all the clothes go at the same time. It'll take my wife 2 days for hers . I ain't got time for that.
Posted by: Bob at August 14, 2026 10:45 PM (hWhmF) Don't even get me started. Mrs B is a power user. The washer and dryer seems to run almost every day. As we speak the dryer is running, I hear it. I have to make an appointment with the laundry room to get any of my wash done. I have to catch her in the act and say put the clothes down and step away from the washer. I do my own laundry. No way I'm doing hers because her procedures for her clothes rivals docking at the space station. Posted by: Berserker-Dragonheads Division at August 14, 2026 10:54 PM (S41Gd) 104

He'd left a full teeth imprint in his older brother's bare shoulder. The screams alerted me to the playroom. He was 2yrs and bro 4yrs aka the Chimp Era. I asked why he bit his brother. Because he was stepping on his quilt's arm. He slept with the quilt and did not drag it around like Linus. Until then I did not know Quiltie was an entity or had arms. I feel sure his bitten brother was messing with him over and over and he simply snapped. Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at August 14, 2026 10:54 PM (hzuYO) 106

We fought like savages over the remote control starting in 5th grade (me) and 3rd for him. Sent to our rooms. We then called each other names over the intercom with our parents listening downstairs. I once catapulted him up five stairs and he hit the door with a loud thud. I got in more trouble but it was totally worth it. The main thing our grands fought over here physically (to our muffled laughter) was a child's mop. I said I will buy two rakes and snow shovels but I will not buy another mop.

I think he was angry enough to cause permanent damage and I'm not at all certain why he stopped. I guess since I refused to yell or cry, he finally gave up.

Well, I went out to the shop, which was pretty dark inside, despite it being bright twilight outside. Flipped on the lights. Wow! The contrast between the hoist bay, which has the new lights, and the rest of the building, now lit by 3 8-foot "high-output" fluorescent fixtures, is stunning. The new white roofing tin on the top 6 feet of the walls certainly helps, too, reflecting light down and around.

I did this one time when our father caught us up in a neighbor's tree. He'd told us she complained and to stop. I remember him in his car below us telling us to go home. Went home that summer day and got a switch. He left a welt on my calf and his own mother told him she wanted to switch him when she saw it. He never did that again. The problem with me and spankings was that I'd laugh when I saw him sitting on the closed toilet as the bathroom was the spanking room. I had to fake cry while my brother wailed enough for both of us. Daddy knew and would ask me if I'd had enough (he'd crack his belt near but not hit us). Yais. Spankings were thankfully rare as I remember them. Once because (age 5) I lied that I'd eaten all my fried oysters that I hated. They watched me stuff my mouth and go spit in the toilet. Then asked if I was ready for dessert and I was. I got spanked due to lying and never had to eat oysters again. Worth it. Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at August 14, 2026 11:24 PM (hzuYO) 142

My mother's approach was pretty direct. I can still hear her "we're going into that woman's house, and if you touch anything I'll break your fucking fingers". Her other biggie was threatening to drop us off in the ghetto, and with my grandparents all being from east orange, which was pretty close to Newark, we knew exactly what that meant.

Posted by: Dark Lixtiquatal at August 14, 2026 11:34 PM (DZ9Lv) That sounds like the correct type of discipline. I, unfortunately, inconvenienced my parents after they ignored me all morning. I asked permission, but they never acknowledged me. So I did it anyway, and they ended up beating hell out of me. Not the same thing, at all. I learned to never be noticed for anything after that. I became the invisible kid. It wasn't particularly healthy, but it kept them from beating me, so I guess it worked. I also assumed that what they did was a perfectly normal response to my bad behavior. It wasn't. Posted by: tcn in AK at August 14, 2026 11:39 PM (Ez0ut) 164

The M32A1 actually is likely a "destructive device" and covered by the NFA.

Posted by: Kindltot at August 14, 2026 11:29 PM (rbvCR) I lowered my sugar by eating bacon and eggs almost every morning. My sugar is in the low 90's most of the day. My HDL is low too, low 30's. I'm curious where it will be by the next blood test. My LDL was 71, but I'm on a low dose statin, so if I'm going to have to take that shit it isn't getting a free ride, I'll make it work for it's money.

Put the lightest fabric in first, so it goes in the dryer first, and dries by the time the next load is ready to go to the dryer. Heavy fabric goes last because it takes the longest to dry.

Berserker, the thing is that LDL and HDL are indirect evidence of cardiac risk, the direct evidence is a cardiac artery calcium scan, which is a CAT scan of the heart.

Hi four seasons. I've been thinking about your neighbor, what a jerk. I get torn between wanting to prank or becoming afraid of doing anything should all of my suspicions about a certain neighbor being psychotic turn out to be true. I won't poke the bear. BC, I bookmarked your video, but if I commit to those ten minutes right now I may never return tonight. Mike Hammer and publius, I followed the link on the Superegg, I thought it was the latest women's weapon against toxic men. If you fertilize the superegg you will unleash hell upon earth. Anyway, I started reading at the link and quickly realized that the subject matter was way above my pay grade. I'm retired. Posted by: Debby Doberman Schultz at August 15, 2026 01:11 AM (ibDUx) 266

A perfect sphere has three Killing vectors (directions). An oblate spheroid has only one. To a first approximation, the Erf is a sphere, to a second, better, on it's an oblate spheroid.

Cheers JQ! I am glad that you had fun, steak is probably my favorite dinner. The first date where hubs met my family and stuff, he and I alone went to a nice old restaurant and he ordered a filet mignon butterflied and well done, in our over forty year history he never ordered another steak, ever. When I got home my Mom was asking me all about this very fine gentleman and what I had to eat, I told her that I had a 22 ounce sirloin cooked medium rare with a baked potato and I ate the whole thing. She was horrified and said that it was extremely unbecoming for a woman to ingest such a large amount of food, almost lesbianish.

Hi, Debby!
Whaaa? Filet mignon...well done?!? No wonder he never ordered steak again! But you have that sweet, funny memory! I could probably finish a 20oz ribeye plus baked tater... but that's just about my limit, if I'm *really* hungry. LOL Posted by: JQ at August 15, 2026 01:42 AM (rdVOm) 290
Geodesics on a sphere are just great circles. If you "walk straight" on a sphere, you come back to where you started, circumnavigating the globe. However, on a oblate spheroid, that is not the case except for some special cases, such as meridians and east-west exactly on the equator. For any other direction, if you "go straight", that curve doesn't close. If you were compelled to walk a straight line on the earth in general, you would never get back to where you started. You'd get infinitely close eventually, but never there exactly. And you'd cover just about every point on the surface between two lines of north and south latitude depending on the initial direction. You'd roam the earth forever, just walking a straight line. Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at August 15, 2026 01:49 AM (w6EFb) 291

That's the thing, I have never been dainty I think. My Mom always wanted a daughter, I had two older brothers, but somehow I turned out differently than the what she expected. I wore dresses and stuff, but most of my best friends were guys, no romance and complications, but sounding boards for each other, Female drama still drives me absolutely crazy, I just don't want to be a part of that.

It's kinda funny reading about how some parents spanked their kids back in the day. Those were different times when it was the thing to do. I got my share. So did my older brothers. But my parents stopped the hitting when we got old enough to reason with. The hitting stopped but my Dad would have this way of talking to us that made us feel about two feet tall. That he expected us to know better and be responsible for what we do. How he and Mom felt we let them down. Really I had rather to be hit than hear how much I disappointed them.But one thing always stayed with me, I knew I was raised right.

Posted by: What Ya Gonna Do? at August 14, 2026 05:27 PM (/2Ls3) Brian Thompson was an Iowa native and humble University of Iowa grad, living in Minnesota near UnitedHealth's Minnetonka HQ. As far as I can tell, he was just a regular, stand-up, salt-of-the-Earth guy -- the kind who was already busy enough with work and family, and helped charities anyway. When he was killed, I wanted to find out more about him, trying to make sense of it. (There was none.) I remember reading how he had been involved in Second Harvest, or whatever their local gleaning thing was called. Solid choice, when I volunteer it's with either a local hospital or a food bank, and he was already working with the former professionally. Everyone needs to eat. What a guy! All that to say, a guy like that is going to build the kind of peaceful, sheltered family that would never in a million years take the kind of vengeance he deserves. More's the pity.

From previous thread:
Seriously any of you know Latin, what would be a word for "soy boy", or "effeminate beta"? In koine Greek, the Apostle Paul used the Greek slang term for "effeminate" (catcher) 'malakos' which, like many words depends on the context, and when used outside of faggotry means 'soft". As arsenekoites is reserved for homosexual male and immediately follows 'malakos' in 1 Corinthians 6:9 as catcher/pitcher. Saint Jerome translated it as "neque molles neque mascolorum concubitores" So he kept "soft". Posted by: Community Notes at August 14, 2026 08:30 PM (a4flb) 82

It's pretty much unpredictable long term, although there are some interesting short and long term periodic terms there.

Here's a graph of solar luminosity since about 1600 (where they get that from way back, I don't know): https://t.ly/OCyoN Note that little flat-line from about 1650 to 1700+. That's the famous Maunder Minimum. Incidentally, there was a little rotation speed up of the Erf that preceded that.

Juglone, that’s it. Juglans is the Latin name for the Genus.
I’ve a question for your chemistry knowledge. A woodcrafter was demonstrating that a flint & steel can get even a wet char cloth to take a spark, and get a fire going. Before matches, this was a common way to get a fire going for a long, long time. But I would have thought char cloth (burnt cotton material, charred in a tin in the absence of air) would need to be bone dry. Apparently, this is due to the fact that Carbon cannot absorb water. Does this sound right? Pretty cool in any case. Posted by: Common Tater at August 14, 2026 08:59 PM (uKe7i) 140

It's also a open question whether the Erf will get swallowed up by the Sun when it does get to the red giant phase in another 5 billion years or so. Mercury and Venus are goners, but Erf might or might not make it. Solar mass loss will let the earth slowly spiral outward. Solar system is so chaotic on these long term time scales that anything could happen, really. Mars will be quite nice once the Sun's luminosity gets too much for us here. For a while.

The Electric Universe stuff is mostly just woo, as far as it "dominating gravity" and that sort of stuff. Now, any torques on the Efr due to magnetic coupling with the Sun's field are vanishingly small, but something else could be going on, don't know what.

132 Walnut trees have a chemical - Juglans I think it’s called, that inhibits other plants from sprouting or growing nearby. If you’ve handled green walnuts in their covering, you know the distinctive odor. This is one reason you don’t want to plant a garden directly near Walnut trees or vice versa.
Posted by: Common Tater Always thought that smell was similar to "Juicy Fruit" gum. And yes, there are few plants that thrive beneath the walnut tree. Unfortunately, most are considered weeds. LOL.

It's the spark that is unaffected by water. I think there is a special technique needed to get wet char cloth to ignite. The spark is 800℉ hot, but little total energy, so water can douse the spark if you do not get close to the cloth. Posted by: NaCly Dog at August 14, 2026 09:08 PM (u82oZ) 156

The not-so-woo ideas about a coupling between the Sun's magnetic field and the earth's own geodynamo would be some small effect, not any direct torque, but something that causes a perturbation to the geodynamo mechanism, which changes the core-mantle coupling and all that.

They are the lower ranked proles at the Ivys in some cases, public school teachers that got tired of the crap in others. Ivy league grads are about in the same position that the Ivys were back in the 40's, some brilliant profs and students, but mostly nepots and now foreigners there for networking. The professors there no longer can openly say what a woman is and the ones that know what a woman is are forced to dissemble and pretend they don't. Our top academic institutions are declining just like the regular population's and so to are their kids. This idea that elites have that they can run away from the mess they have made to boltholes and keep their wealth is truly so egotistically stupid because if Darkness Falls, they get it in the neck too. If nothing else by their own bodyguards because why die for a schmuck when you can take what they have. Posted by: whig at August 14, 2026 09:20 PM (E4rtv) 170

Mom taught Jr and high school math, she had a pop quiz she liked to do once a term. It was a multiple choice test with all the answers wrong, and the best answer was the closest to the correct answer. It was timed. She liked it because it judged how the students were understanding math to self monitor what a probably answer was. The students hated it because they always did tests with specific answers, not approximations.

Posted by: Additional Blond Agent at August 15, 2026 12:43 AM (iIyc0) The Week In Woke![]() Moronic DEI degenerate Don Lemon demands a court dismiss the charges against him for invading a church to scream at the attendees, gaysplaining that Drumpf is just obsessed with him. The left has ginned up another George Floyd hoax, this time claiming that violent, knife-armed man attacking cops shouldn't have been shot because he's black. Yes, that's pretty much their argument. No one would make this preposterous case if cops shot a knife-wielding, out-of-control, violent white man. The woke DA of Madison, WI is determined to put cops in jail for defending the public and their own lives, and went so far as to make the cop's name public to put his life in danger and subject him to Antifa Justice, the only true justice to the left. There's another attempt to hang a cop for defending himself in Colorado. A black man -- of course; this would not be "murder" if it were a white man -- kept advancing on a cop who repeatedly told him to stop advancing on him. The man also kept shouting to his son to pick up the gun he had tossed on the ground, to shoot the cop, of course. Ultimately, the cop shot the man who would not stop advancing on him and would not stop urging his son to pick a gun off the ground. So it's another George Floyd hoax. The left is pushing the idea -- they don't dare say this aloud, but this is what they're fighting for -- that black men may veto a cop's arrest. They can simply decide they don't want to be arrested, and violently resist arrest, and the cop is then obligated to Respect the Arrest-Veto of a Black Man and let him go. Obviously, we cannot allow members of a specific race to decide that they are immune to the law. But that's what the left is insisting on. And they also insist we infinitely indulge teen takeovers. Meanwhile, in between insisting that black people are immune to the law, CNN spends its time pushing hoax stories about black people being lynched by whites. End Wokeness Legendary unfunnywoman Margaret Cho: "We're in the middle of a trans genocide." Yes and we're sick of children being killed. In the real world, obviously dangerous head-case perverts like this are infinitely indulged. Teacher: We are graduating seniors who cannot read or write. Woke One was craaaazy, man. By the way, did you know that all countries, pastimes, sports, hobbies, cities, states, and people generally are "too white"

16 What's a polycule? It can't be good.
Posted by: Blutarski, Gradually then Suddenly at August 14, 2026 06:48 PM (l26NL) Polycule In polyamory, a polycule is a group of individuals involved in romantic relationships that connect all the members in the group. It is neither necessary nor common for every individual of the polycule to be in a relationship with every other individual. The most simple and arguably most common polycule structure is a V-shaped structure: a three-person polycule where one person is dating the two others, but the two others are not dating one another. Like on Jerry Springer. You know, it is possible she's the ugly one in the group and the rest are 9's and 10's. Snowflake's in early. Ralphy fed. I'm going to work on the computer fir several hours.

As an eyebrow tweezer since I was 15yrs, blessed with eyebrows for a blonde, I have been traumatized twice today by now Farah's eyebrows and Luigi's. I still have eyebrows I brush when I get out of bed. Blessed. hic (on second glass of wine and final one for my Friday).
Glad the Nashville teacher spoke. Good for her and the Houston supervisor. For once!!! MS got it right years ago and kept kids back who could not read or do math. I am sure they went through pure hell. I failed 9th grade algebra. The only class I failed. My parents would never threaten or make a scene. I failed because I hated x and my teacher, a woman who drank and smoked, only liked the gifted students. My mother called her mid-term with me present. She asked this old bag if a tutor would help. Teacher cackled like a wicked witch and said probably nothing would help me. My Southern mother politely thanked her. Hung up and told me it's ok, don't worry about it, you can take it again. I did and made a B under a different teacher. I was an A&B student in HS and college. I made a B in college algebra (I still hate x). An A in college trig. I wonder of La Toya's cat ears light up is all I got from her black speech. Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at August 14, 2026 07:03 PM (hzuYO) 49

I'm baffled by the idea that a prosecution can be thrown out because it was filed as a result of "political animus."
If it was a bogus prosecution, then that could be the reason, and evidence of it admissible in the follow-on suit. But I have a LOT of "political animus" toward all sorts of law-breakers. I hate people who groom or prey on kids. I hate terrorists. I hate people who pull the "Don't you know who I am?" gambit (and think they should absolutely be prosecuted). If you're innocent, fine. But if you're guilty, and the evidence against you isn't poisoned by a direct violation of your civil rights, then I want YOUR A** IN PRISON. I care that someone might come after you with a bogus prosecution, and I want that person drummed out (and maybe going to prison their own selves). But YOUR guilt is independent of that.

I think a polycule consists of people who group together because they are not welcome in any other friendships or groups. Because normal people don't want to deal with their constant insanity and stupidity.

Madison Cop Shooting. Execution or mistake?
Execution. Sorry but if you get a dude on the ground your gun ain't supposed to be out period I am fine if they shot him as he was reaching for a weapon maybe. That is self defense. But to shoot an unarmed man is a crime. 3 shots? That's murder. That was one of the cruelest executions I've ever witnessed, and all because you hired a FAT ASS who couldn't pass a 10 yr olds boot camp. He was almost at cardiac arrest, so he decided a quick shot to the man's head who was being held down by two or three Cops. Bring that shit to my neighborhood , and you should bring as many body bags as men you send. What if people started standing up against this kind of government action? The American people are so weak and this is only happening because of how weak they are. he had a knife. they disarmed him before he was shot. its a homicide. Three to the head for a fucking knife? I can think of 10 other actions off the top of my head before firing 3 shots to the skull of a man on the ground and I’ve got people helping me and help on the way.
