Cornwallis makes the ultimate mistake of holing up in Yorktown where he is forced to surrender under the French army, the French navy and the patriots. A lot of time was spent regarding the outcome for former and present slaves. Some went free, some back to slavery. The indians got the short end from everyone. Cont.

76 Car question the Horde: truck started doing some intermittent rumbling which is reported to be torque converter shudder. If flushing the fluid does not correct this, should I take it to a transmission specialty shop instead of the #*&#^ dealer?

77 As a general rule, I'm opposed to needless government regulations but I would be OK with a law/rule that public restrooms had to have some sort of commonly understandable markings. Too many places try to be too cute. I actually have a story about that but it requires a visual aid so I can't tell it here.

78 'Everything I don't like is a Jewish Conspiracy'

Which was written by Jews and is a Jewish Conspiracy. Think about it....

79 A tomcat I once had would go across the street to sleep under a cedar tree. Branches close to the ground and the cedar leaves were soft. A safe place to nap.

Once I saw him limping, dragging a leg while walking this way. Thought he was injured, but he was just trolling an old Yellow Lab from down the street to see if he would get chased, knowing he could outrun/out climb the doggie. Thought that showed some intelligence and it was kind of on my level.

97 did you end up in the ladies ? you did , din't you

I walked back to the table and asked one of my co-workers who had been to the place before. Once he explained the symbols, it sort of made sense. Another time however I just walked obliviously into the women's even though it was clearly marked. Fortunately no one was in there and I saw the marker when exiting.

What kind of truck? Step one, add a bottle of automatic transmission treatment to the transmission. May help some seals to seal better. Step two, have fluid and filter changed. If taking the pan off reveals a large amount of black sludge, I'd suggest getting the transmission rebuilt. Find a good local transmission shop. Some of the Morons in your part of Texas could maybe give you a line on who to go to.

107 Joyenz: do what I've done, consider something refurbished from Amazon.

I've had good luck with Discount Electronics. Be sure to read the specs carefully though. If the description doesn't explicitly say something like "wifi" or "bluetooth" it doesn't have it.

108 I have a cardiac echo on Monday to see if there's a new problem. Since my little syncope show last Sunday, at church with an audience because I don't do anything half way. I am paranoid. I am never paranoid nor given to panic. This means I am old and ignored the fainting signal like an idiot.

Entertained some EMT's who said everything was normal, which is a feat and cause for celebration. Son made me see my doc this week. Scared my grands, which broke my heart in pieces. I will heed the warning in the future (I feel hot when it's not hot).Rare.

Told my husband about my panic and he had me walk around the park today to prove that I am not dying (yet). And we will sit in the back of the church on Sunday to be safe, with a bottle of water in my purse.

Here I was very happy that the holidays are upon us. Carefree. Oh, no, said the doctors. You need this to finish out your wonky year!

While I hope all is normal and just one of my bi-decade faints, I also hope the cardiologist is busy til 2026. I have no symptoms and was dehydrated like last time. And I don't like early mornings with crap sleep. Plus being stupid. Very stupido to "push through."

Fluid flush, without filter change, is like washing your feet & putting dirty socks back on.

Thank you. The rational side of my brain says all will be well. The insane bits freak out, although my EKG is "normally abnormal" with a LBBB for over 3yrs. Asymptomatic. I know what heart flutters feel like and I did not have them nor any signs of a MI. I just felt hot for 15min and knew better to ignore this, as it happened 4yrs ago with similar feelings. The first time I got the full ED work up of brain and heart. I was found to have both that were normal.

When the first people asked me questions and I answered fine and included that I was mortified, I passed the tests and got wheeled into the church library. Then I began the apology tour of apologizing to EMT's and anyone who looked at me.

Some days I should just stay in bed.

131 Alphabet Corporation informs me that my QoTD comes from Morgan Freeman: "If you wake up and the snow is knee-deep outside, you are not filled with rage. It's just something that you've got to cope with."

Well, Morgan, I have a counterpoint: you only say that because you woke up inside. If you'd woken up outside to knee-deep snow, you'd know that you're almost definitely going to freeze to death, and it can't hurt too much to be pissed off about it.

132 I've blown a few trannies myself.

133 40 years ago I went into a bathroom at the movie theater that had some weird symbols on the doors and sat down. After a few minutes someone entered the stall next to wearing highheels. 40 years ago that meant I was in the wrong room.

134 Sometimes an engineering company will take over a generic office building to corral their engineers. The issue is that offices are designed for normal humanity, roughly 50/50 men vs women. But engineering is something north of 90% men.

The fix is generally to take about 2/3rds of the women’s bathrooms and convert them to men’s. This results in some awkward moments.

M and W are often grouped so you’ll get ladies accidentally walking into the M next to the other M.

My first time I walked in, noticed no urinals, just stalls, stepped into a stall & took care of business. Turning around I noted a hook near the bottom of the stall door. “Hmm, what’s that, to hang something, a purse maybe… OH SHIT.” I tried stealthily running out. But double checked the sign and it was men’s.

It appears that would be a 4R75E transmission. Looks like a rebuilt one can be had for about 2000 dollars.

143 122 Christy, I read about your fainting spell at the Catholic Church and hope your appointment goes well next week.
Posted by: BarelyScaryMary at November 21, 2025 10:39 PM (ys6FW)

Thank you, Mary. It is not often I make a huge scene, but I made one. I am sure our 4yr old granddaughter told her PreK teacher that I briefly died the next day, bless her.

Sons laughed that I was immediately concerned if my underwear was showing when they flung me in the wheelchair across a pew. My second thought of vanity was when the EMT's put leads on my ankles that I had not put lotion on my legs that morning.

A day later I asked my husband if my mouth was open and if my tongue was hanging out.

I was brought up with cartoons and remember the drawings of dead people with tongues lagging and X for eyes. I guess I kept my mouth closed, for once.

144 129 Everybody, enjoy the last week before THE CHRISTMAS SPIRT lands on us like a pregnant elephant off a cliff.

I have much gratitude for the blessings in my life. Thanksgiving is my favorite. I am glad for so much, and I thank God.
But my tolerance for the consumerist, gimme gimme bullshit of "The Holidays" is minimal.

145 Birds and the bees. Bees pollinate which is a dude action and birds lay eggs so women.

146 Joyenz, you're a gamer? Any tips for Hunt the Wumpus? I never could find that issue of Compute!

147 Sometimes, sh*t happens and sometimes people do sh*t. It's not the same thing, Morgan.

148 SEP field?

Can I have a Pan-Galactic Gargleblaster before meeting the meat?

149 133 40 years ago I went into a bathroom at the movie theater that had some weird symbols on the doors and sat down. After a few minutes someone entered the stall next to wearing highheels. 40 years ago that meant I was in the wrong room.
Posted by: toby928(c) at November 21, 2025 10:44 PM (jc0TO)

You were:
a) behaving and minding your own bidness
b) not wearing a trench coat
c) not sticking your head under or over the stall

I would not be alarmed if I was the chick in heels.

150 HH, is the dealership charging you for the flush? If so, pass. Go to a reputable trans shop and let them a. troubleshoot, and b. determine a way forward.

You should pay for a flush. Milking trannies for fluid is tough work; they squall and kick something fierce.

151 Bees pollinate which is a dude action and birds lay eggs so women.

That company is having early black friday sales. One of their daily specials is a really nice monitor for free with a PC purchase. I'm debating whether to pick that special or the $100 off. I just can't seem to press the buy button. As I said, I really don't want to stop using my Dad's last PC to me. I'm so mad it's giving me issues and Dad couldn't get it fixed.

153 Christy, how do you know you weren't the chick in heels? :-)

154 Of course, I'm just goofing around; Freeman is right. Even if you're definitely going to die, being pissed will only make it worse. You might as well die with dignity.

155 Joyenz, does your current monitor (or the new monitor you want) have more than one input? It's possible you can go on using both machines.

156 Correct. It's a circumstance that affects everybody. However, if I woke up and my neighbor has blown the shin-deep snow from his yard into mine making mine knee-deep, yeah, I'd be pretty pissed.

I mean, someone blowing Morgan Freeman doesn't bother me. I'm sure it's happened many times. No problem with that. He's a man and he has needs.

Could be! I am so used to males, one coming out of a stall while I was washing my hands would not faze me. Unless he was a moose limb with a machete. Then we'd have problems. Or a pervert. Or super ugly and unzipped.

A normal sheepish guy would make me laugh.

I think I've used unisex potties in Europe, but nothing happened that I can recall.

The one main potty I will remember in Europe was the self cleaning one in Paris. I was flipped out the entire wee that it would start cleaning with me in there. I was very fast.

166 I gotta get back in the habit of going to church.

I admit that growing up, one of my favorite times of the week every week, was the couple of hours *after* church. Always felt good and extra-relaxing.

One place I worked at had a sorta neat way to prevent really embarrassing incidents. The restrooms had a little vestibule as you opened the door. The men's room was painted a light blue, and the ladies was painted pink.
This really didn't help for visitors, but employees absorbed this unconsciously. When you pushed open the door, the "wrong" color woke up people running on automatic.
This was needed because, for some reason I never determined, in one building the men's was the left of two adjacent doors on the first floor, and on the right on the second floor.

168 Fun Friday fare, WD. Nice work as always.

Seven horcruxes? Hmm.
1. A stone at Stonehenge.
2. That biggest pyramid at Giza.
3. A hydra — Hydras continuously replace every cell in their bodies, maintaining their telomeres at a constant length.
4. That one single seagrass plant in Western Australia’s Shark Bay, expanded over a stretch of 180 km making it the largest known plant on Earth, around 4,500 years old.
5. The AoS Moron Hive Mind.*
6. The Pacific Ocean.
7. The Moon.

One episode of Continuum left to watch. Guess I'll go do that. Later, gaitors.

169 So far this thread has sounded more like a first world problems thread.

My son and I both like single malt Scotch. He like Islays and I like Speysides. He keeps giving me Islays for Christmas. Should I disinherit him?

170 Joyenz, is there a chat room related to your gaming group? Maybe that would be a good place to ask about getting a replacement computer that could be relied upon to serve your gaming and other needs for a few years.

171 But if it happened on my lawn, I'd be calling the cops to toss his black ass back into Shawshank.

Well, as long as it continues to run at all, you should get some memory sticks or a USB hard drive, and copy all the files that you wish to preserve. Or clone the entire hard drive.

213 I put up my lights last week. I also bought five solar powered candy cane walkway lights from ACE. Four of them didn't work properly so I exchanged them . One of those four didn't work so I made my third trip to ACE but finally got five working candy cane lights.

Posted by: weft cut-loop at November 21, 2025 11:01 PM (mlg/3)

First thing to check, absolutely. Take the unit outside, open it up, and brush out the motherboard, especially around the processor. Are all the fans running? Rebooting and lock ups usually indicate the processor is overheating. Check online for how to access your computer's BIOS diagnostics. Usually holding F10 while the unit reboots. Follow the menus from there..

231 Evening, all! Finally getting in on the ONT in real time!

Speaking of Christmas lights, I'm breaking my long standing rule of not decorating for Christmas until at least the 2nd Sunday of Advent. My mom will be with us for Thanksgiving, and I thought it would be fun for her help. The star we have for our tree is a gaudy vintage disco version, where the cylinder inside spins and throws rainbows all over the ceiling. The kicker: it's the star my parents had the first Christmas after they married, in 1965. I have such fond childhood memories of the ghastly thing. 😎

The trumpet was a more painful intrument for all of us to hear in the 7th grade.

235 A couple of weeks after Christmas I had to investigate a house fire insurance claim and interview the homeowner: The fire burned out two rooms but it was contained to just that. The homeowner had a large collection of expensive dolls in one of the rooms. When I asked the lady if the FD determined the cause she angrily relayed the cause as a string of outdoor lights that were stored in a box protected with crunched up newspaper and that her 5 year old grandson plugged in the lights. She added that she wasn't speaking to either her daughter or grandson . She wasn't a nice lady.

236 Joyenz, hmmm.
Nobody at work you can bribe ($50 and some pizza) to come over and take a look-see? :-)

And weft-cut, thanks. :-)

237 The kicker: it's the star my parents had the first Christmas after they married, in 1965. I have such fond childhood memories of the ghastly thing. 😎

238 I'm a believer that Christmas lights season should be from December 10th to January 10th.

239 Christy, I played clarinet from 6th through 12th grade. Not quite as loud as a trumpet, I suppose.

240 Did your father never tell you about the birds and the bees?

As I have now cleaned out our attic to a pretty large extent, I now know where our outdoor decoration lights are.

Haven't told the missus that, however. Mr. and Mrs. KvC did not raise a complete dummy.

No, the woodwinds aren't bad for others to hear when learning. The trumpet, though!

Both of our sons are very good musicians, altho only one became professional briefly. I figured he'd end up busking in the NYC subways, but he got another degree like his brother and father.

You should dust your clarinet off and play!

249 Our Christmas lights are up and blazing, and probably won't come down until March. I try to watch for when the weather is turning cold, and get them up before then. I don't want to be mucking around the gutters in sub-freezing temperatures (which is also why they stay up until March).

Has it been pointed out to her that the numbskull who wrapped the lights in crumbled up newspaper bears more that passing blame for the unwelcome outcome?

I agree. I'd rather wait on the front end and let them stay up into January, til about the Feast of the Baptism. Our parish priest keeps his up until Feb. 2, the Feast of the Presentation. Probably a bit too long for me.

259 I leave the lights up into late January. Why take them down? They're fun, and my kid gets a kick out of them.

I've been toying with the idea of lining my eaves with those full- spectrum LED ribbons where you can change the colors/patterns, and using them for different holidays. Green and gold for St. Pat's, red, white and blue for Independence Day, etc.

The old bulbs were glass, so I can understand the newspaper for padding.

The real question, IMO, is:

Who was the numbskull, what left those things within reach of a 5 year-old?

261 I will put up a tree this week, I hope. It will come down sometime in January around the Epiphany.

Maybe she was right out of shredded asbestos. Nothing wrong with using crumpled newspaper as packing material for fragile glass bulbs. If one must assign blame, blame the party who left an attractive but dangerous object within reach of a 5-year old.

I've got a couple of neighbors who have done that. They even adjust them to team colors when our NFL team is playing.

Honestly, though, when it comes to Christmas, they give more of a Vegas vibe than a holiday vibe.

So probably not heat related. Power supply would be the next likely culprit. Are you running multiple displays? Any nonessential USB devices (mood lights? fans? coffee mug warmers - I've seen some stuff, man...)

270 Posted by: qdpsteve at November 21, 2025 11:44 PM (cQHrm)

She's my caretaker. We live together. We're all we have now with both parents gone.

271 Eh, I probably wouldn't be that mad if my daughter burned my house with Christmas lights, so long as nobody died.

But I get it. You tell the kid a thousand times not to fuck around with power outlets, and then she does it anyway, and burns the house. Nobody's gonna be happy on that Christmas.

That is F'ed up. People and family situations are so often fucked up, pardon my French.. It's hard to see.

273 There are a few old strings of C9 lights, out in the barn. LOL, and maybe a hundred 'spares' that I picked up for 2 cents apiece, back in the 80s.

Also, many boxes (unopened) of "100ct mini-lites" that were picked up at 90% off-- about 15 cents a string-- in the 90s.

275 Joyenz, good to hear.

What's the wattage rate on your power supply? Would you happen to know? You want to match the old one. For instance, replace a 500w with the same.

The Week In Woke

Surprise! SNAP/EBT benefits are widely scammed and used by illegal aliens not entitled to them.

Across three-fifths of the United States, the Trump administration has found half a million people receiving SNAP benefits twice over and 5,000 dead people receiving them. In deep blue states, the fraud is probably much worse.

It is important to clarify that 20+ states out of the 50 did not comply with the federal government's request for information on SNAP beneficiaries, likely because they are trying to hide how many illegal aliens are illicitly receiving food stamps. So the horrifying numbers revealed by U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins on Laura Ingraham's Fox News show, The Ingraham Angle, are actually incomplete, and will probably be much higher if the administration can make radical Democrat states provide the necessary data.

Rollins, having mentioned the blue states' incomplete SNAP data, stated that "of the 29 that complied, what we have found is staggering. Half a million people getting benefits two times under the same name, [likewise] 5,000 dead people." Those 5,000 cases are probably family members continuing to receive SNAP benefits instead of the deceased individuals. In any case, we are wasting huge amounts of taxpayer money on beneficiaries who have passed away and greedy double-dippers.

The secretary continued to list off food stamp recipient statistics: "80% [are] able-bodied Americans, meaning they can work, they don't have small children at home, they're not taking care of an elderly parent. They can work, and they choose not to work, of course, because they're getting significant benefits from the taxpayer."

To balance out the able-bodied people getting food stamps, the Democrats have thoughtfully allowed dead people to receive food stamps too. It all works out somehow.

Billion dollar nepo baby Alex Soros is pushing his bizarre idea of what "democracy" is, and Data Republican explained to the public what Alex Sorors' not-so-hidden definition of democracy is.

Surprise! By "Democracy," Alex Soros means a small cadre of global techocratic elites imposing their will on a public that has been stripped of the right to vote.

DataRepublican (small r)
@DataRepublican

Hello Alex,

You say your work is dedicated to strengthening democracy. I have one simple question for you.

In your 30th anniversary publication, you had an article from your longtime head of Open Society Fund-Serbia, Sonja Licht. She also happens to be one of the most decorated civilians in Europe and widely considered an expert in democracy:

🔹 Pro Merit Medal of the Council of Europe
🔹 Star of Italian Solidarity
🔹 French Legion of Honour

She has written and advised many democracy circles, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace among others.

In the article for Open Society, Licht openly discusses the problem of whether democracy can survive without trust in their leaders.

Her solution: "I believe the time has come for a responsible, courageous elite, those who care far more about addressing the genuine social problems than about election results. Only a political elite with vision, prudence and a focus on the general good--to whom the electorate, with their active involvement in public life, can cede part of their sovereignty in the elections... spearhead... our struggle to survive."

Read that again.

The idea of democracy as pushed by the head of one of your foundations is to literally stop "election results" and to have the public cede their trust to a technocratic elite.

End democracy to save democracy itself.

You cannot say that this is just a random musing of one employee. This is a woman who is highly regarded in democracy circles. This is a woman who ran one of your most prominent foundations during the fall of Milosevic. This is an article you platformed in your own thirtieth anniversary.

Now back to my question.

I am not going to ask a lame question like "what do you think democracy is?" -- I have spent over a thousand hours researching the topic for my book this year. I know what you think democracy is: it has nothing to do with elections and everything to do with ceding sovereignty to an unaccountable elite so you can implement your own twisted version of "equality" aka what most of us on the right call socialism.

Nor am I going to ask you if you disavow Sonja Licht. I know you won't and you never will. I know you agree with her secretly.

My question is:

Are you prepared for when your mask gets ripped off and everyone sees your version of "democracy" as the facade it is?

After criticism, the Trump Administration has slightly edited a report on "youth gender medicine." The new version of the report affirms that
"youth gender medicine" causes more harm than good.

Social scientist Lisa Littman put a target on her back seven years ago by documenting "rapid-onset gender dysphoria" in youth, prompting her to leave Brown University after the Ivy League school tried to discredit her research by implying her study was retracted rather than slightly revised.

Another publisher retracted a subsequent ROGD paper under threat of an academic boycott and a demand to fire the journal's editor, gender dysphoria research pioneer Kenneth Zucker, claiming it lacked "informed consent" for its use of opt-in survey data.

Now advocates for giving healthy children puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgeries to remove breasts and genitals have a fresh target: the newly identified authors of a "pediatric gender dysphoria" systematic review commissioned by the Trump administration, which concludes global evidence does not support such interventions.

The final report Wednesday made "fairly minor edits" to the original published this spring, gender medicine journalist Ben Ryan said in the New York Sun, documented in the 3-page errata now attached to the report.

...

There's also a new 241-page supplement with peer reviews of the report recruited by the Department of Health and Human Services, most prominently by the American Psychiatric Association, and authors' replies to each.

HHS emphasized that the American Academy of Pediatrics and Endocrine Society -- strong supporters of so-called gender-affirming care for minors -- turned down its invitations.

...

The American Medical Association and AAP "peddled the lie that chemical and surgical sex-rejecting procedures could be good for children," HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Wednesday, using the same confrontational tone as when his agency released the original.

"They betrayed their oath to first do no harm" and "inflicted lasting physical and psychological damage on vulnerable young people," which is "malpractice," he also said.

The authors' findings discredit "pediatric sex-rejecting procedures" and affirm the Make America Healthy Again Commission's findings, that "unnecessary procedures and long-term health risks such as infertility are the byproduct of the overmedicalization of children," HHS said.

"Sex-rejecting procedures" appear to have been first suggested as a replacement for "gender-affirming," and as an alternative to HHS's proposed "sex-trait modification," just a week after the original report's release, coined by the Ethics and Public Policy Center. It's also used on the assistant secretary for health's "priorities" page.

"Sex-rejecting procedures" is better than the Orewellian lie "gender-affirming."

The Washington Post editorial board commended the final report, albeit under the cagey headline "What we still don't know about pediatric medical transition."

The Post is slowly going non-woke.

While the evidence of harm is also "sparse," the authors emphasized this "may reflect the relatively short period of time since the widespread adoption of the medical/surgical treatment model; the failure of existing studies to systematically track and report harms; and publication bias."

And cowardly academics falsifying their findings to appease the trans terrorists.

From David Strom: As the UK begins to actually regulate and investigate Sex-Rejecting Procedures, trans maniacs are moving to online-only "consultations" and sales of artificial hormones.

Benjamin Ryan
@benryanwriter

Helen Webberley, whose GenderGP service is notorious in the U.K. for flouting bans on pediatric gender-transition treatment by shipping blockers and hormones to British minors from abroad, is rolling out her telemedicine services in the United States, starting in 12 months.

Stella O'Malley
@stellaomalley3

For anyone wondering why Helen Webberley is suddenly everywhere, it is because she is expanding her dreadful mercenary hormone-peddling service for vulnerable, autistic, same sex attracted young people into the US. She knows this is where the profits are $$$$$

Vanessa Sivadge
@V_Sivadge

Meet Helen Webberley, founder of GenderGP:

* In 2018, she was fined for running an unregistered clinic.

* In 2022, a medical tribunal found she had failed to fully discuss fertility risks and provide proper follow up to patients.

* In 2024, she surrendered her UK medical license after facing allegations of serious misconduct.

Nothing to see here, just your average gender provider with an alarming past.

I guess this is actually technically a woman, but I don't know why this pyrsyn would even need Sex-Rejecting Procedures. Because she looks like a dude.

A taxpayer-funded public library in PA is celebrating "Transgender Awareness Week" by, of course, pushing pro-trans propaganda on children.

As these activists admit themselves: they target children, and almost never adults, because children's minds are highly impressionable and easily changed.

Last week I reported (well, I linked) a Sixth Circuit opinion stating that schools cannot force students to use fake pronouns. The Court ruled that the school may not use its power and authority to "skew" a necessary and legitimate debate on a political issue by imposing a fake resolution to that debate on students.

Via Greg Foreman, woke activists are boo-hoo whinin' and cryin' about the ruling. The first gay whiner he features lisps that you are using "supremacy" -- note he doesn't say "white supremacy," because he is white himself, and that would be ridiculous -- to "abuse queer people." He also uses a term I hear more and more from the woke -- you are abusing "authentic humans," strongly implying that queer/minority folx are "authentic humans" and you are not authentically human yourself.

Huh. And yet they whine about "dehumanization" every three seconds.

CBS "News" sad story: A gay FBI agent who displayed his Pride flag at work in defiance of FBI rules says he's been unjustly fired, and CBS "News" agrees!

The Pride flag should replace the American flag! Gays must have special privileges or it's homophobic!

David Maltinsky, a 16-year FBI employee who was weeks away from being elevated to the position of agent, filed a lawsuit alleging he was fired because he had a Pride flag draped near his desk. "I knew I was on a list," he told CBS News' @MacFarlaneNews. "There was fear after the administration came in that they were going to start looking at all of our personnel files, where some of us did self-identify our sexual orientation, some people did identify as trans. So there was fear early on that DOGE was going to collect this and they were going to curate a list and get rid of 'the undesirables.'"

Government employees represent the government and should not display their loyalty to a movement or a cause while at work. But like most on the left, they think their ideology is more important than the institutions they serve.
