Whereas the Tijuana caravan, the UK grooming gangs and that rental car heading toward you on the sidewalk outside the Berlin Christmas market are the authentic vox populi. Mark Steyn Quote II “There’s nothing bad about that song. And it just breaks my heart and I know my dad would be going insane right now … He would say, what’s the matter with you? You know, get over it. It’s just a fun song,” Deana Martin Quote III “Some tenuous connection to a politically fraught issue does not justify abdicating our judicial duty. If anything, neutrally applying the law is all the more important when political issues are in the background,”Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas Alex Jones of InfoWars fame is a pretty darn good heckler. Googles CEO ripped for Chi-Com assistance. Conspiracy theorist and Infowars founder Alex Jones was on hand to greet Google CEO Sundar Pichai on his arrival for a House Judiciary Committee hearing on the company's data collection practices and alleged political bias within search engine results. "You sold this country out," Jones shouted at Pichai. "You won't even help the Pentagon out and you help the Chicoms. You bet on the wrong country, Sundar." Miracles never cease. And Madison and Miguel the Mutts are a perfect example. At first, Bill Gaylord didn’t think much of the black smoke that loomed across the horizon near his home on the morning of Nov. 8. As his neighbors prepared to flee, Gaylord hopped in his silver Chevy Blazer and drove to a nearby cafe to grab coffee. After all, the stubborn 75-year-old Gaylord had lived his entire life in Paradise. Why would this fire be any different than so many others? he thought. But by the time he got home about 7:15 a.m., all hell had broken loose. Of course Silly, it's body shaming......Man with boobs pretends he is a woman. Due to Mouncey’s weight, height, and testosterone levels, he was barred from entering the Australian Football League, Women’s (AFLW) draft, last year. Mouncey wrote a piece for The Guardian in September blasting the AFL for their regulations. He noted specifically that the weight regulation is a form of “body shaming” and a blow to all women, transgender or not. The Fight For $15 is fairly silent about Flippy. Walmart (WMT) is in the early stages of testing a kitchen robot assistant named “Flippy” at its Bentonville, Arkansas, headquarters to see whether or not it’s the right fit for its in-store delis. Flippy is the world’s first autonomous robotic kitchen assistant powered by artificial intelligence from Miso Robotics, a two-year-old startup. The robot made headlines a year ago debuting as the burger-flipping robot at a CaliBurger franchise in Pasadena. More recently, Flippy got a gig at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles with vending food service company Levy Restaurants, part of Compass Group, to fry up chicken tenders and tater tots. Through the World Series, Flippy churned out 17,000 pounds worth of the fried foods. It’s able to fry up to eight baskets of food simultaneously. My kind of medical test, especially after a full morning of coffee. Bladder cancer is among the most common and deadly of cancers. Because of its high recurrence rate (50-80 percent), patients must be monitored frequently for recurrence or progression of the disease. This monitoring currently consists of visual analysis of cells taken from the patient's bladder. It is uncomfortable, it is expensive, and it is not even especially accurate, detecting only around 60 percent of low-grade tumors. Now, scientists have figured out how to use atomic force microscopy (AFM) to detect bladder cancer in urine samples. By analyzing only five cells, it can achieve 94 percent accuracy. Do you have a Leftist relative? Are you cheap? Or do you just want to suck up to Skipper Bill and The Cucksters? The ONT has the perfect Christmas present for you! Bill and Hillary Clinton are selling discount tickets on Groupon in an attempt to improve upon the feeble opening crowd they had on their speaking tour. Tickets for nine of the "Evening With the Clintons" tour stops have gone up on Groupon at heavy discounts, Fox News reports. The first stop in Toronto had "vast swathes" of empty seats, while the second stop in Houston had to be delayed because of George H.W. Bush’s funeral. Even in heavily Democratic parts of the country, the former first couple appear to be having difficulty selling people on their latest speaking tour. Phildelphia, New York, Detroit, and Boston are among the venues where tickets are available at a steep discount. Ginger vs. Mary Ann Cross bow vs. Long bow Are Pop Tarts ravioli? So what happens to solar panels when they have outlived their usefulness? The law of unintended consequences? The last few years have seen growing concern over what happens to solar panels at the end of their life. Consider the following statements: - The problem of solar panel disposal will explode with full force in two or three decades and wreck the environment because it is a huge amount of waste which is not easy to recycle. 1 - Solar panels create 300 times more toxic waste per unit of energy than do nuclear power plants. If solar and nuclear produce the same amount of electricity over the next 25 years that nuclear produced in 2016, and the wastes are stacked on football fields, the nuclear waste would reach the height of the Leaning Tower of Pisa (53 meters), while the solar waste would reach the height of two Mt. Everests (16 km). 2 Typical Leftie, phony and hypocritical. Lena Dunham. A year ago, Dunham lied in order to discredit a woman who had just gone to the police to report a sexual assault. On Wednesday, she penned a rambling, pretentious opus about women in Hollywood (“Heroines have emerged. We are cracking open windows and beating down doors. The air is circulating and the light is pouring in,” and sneaked a whiny, halfhearted mea culpa into the ninth paragraph. We’re so used to Dunham apologizing at this point (Lena Dunham Apologizes is an actual Twitter handle) that we went ahead and lumped this garbage onto her giant apology pile. Barack Obama the Shit Midas Touch again. Obama also meddled in the Israeli election in 2016, sending our taxpayer money to try to oust Netanyahu. Maybe Obama and Kerry can send James Taylor back to Paris to sing “You’ve Got a Friend” again. Democrats are okay with foreign meddling in elections when they do it. As France devolves into what some are saying could be a civil war in the streets of Paris, the French should recall who wanted them to elect Emmanuel Marcon in the first place: former U.S. president Barack Obama…. Alcohol and firearms do not mix, I repeat, do not mix. Genius Award Winner-1st Runner Up.
I'll take a burger, fries and some ecstasy. Sonic Genius Award Winners. An illegal drug served in a fast food burger led to the arrest of three Sonic employees in Taylor. The Taylor Police Department reported that a family went to the Sonic Drive-in Thursday night and ordered some food. When they got their order, police said the family's 11-year-old daughter unwrapped her four-year-old brother's burger and found a pill in the wrapping. Police say the girl initially mistook the pill for candy, but her parents suspected something worse. The family then drove to the Taylor police station, where officers said a field test determined the pill was ecstasy.The Taylor Police Department reported that a family went to the Sonic Drive-in Thursday night and ordered some food.

It’s called Operation Good Cheer, a unique charitable effort in its 48th year sponsored by the nonprofit Child and Family Services of Michigan. Since 1971, more than 50,000 children — from infants to adults with disabilities — have received holiday presents with the help of 15,000 volunteers, including 250 pilots donating their time and aircraft to the effort. This year, they planned to reach 6,671 kids. Tonight's ONT has been brought to you by The Ultimate Training Manual Notice: Posted with permission by the Ace Media Empire and AceCorp, LLC.

Once more for the nightwalkers: The Official AoSHQ Classical Music Playlist (TM) has been revised and extended: http://soyaraborzoi.com/Playlist.htm (link also in nic) It now comprises 1200 works by 500 different composers, from Renaissance to contemporary and genres from orchestral to vocal to choral to instrumental to concertos to chamber. It includes almost not only all of the old familiar warhorses but also many unfamiliar and, perhaps, delightful discoveries. On the whole, the pieces are 25 minutes or less, but some few longer works were added (Beethoven's 5th and 7th symphonies, Mozart's 40th and 41st, the Schumann piano concerto, the Tchaikovsky Serenade for Strings, the Hanson Romantic symphony). Some minor rearranging was done and some solecisms removed. So, again, I'd like to make this available to the Horde. Just send me an e-mail at monsalvat 61 at g mail dot com (remove spaces and add symbols) and I'll mail you a flash drive with these files (as mp3), suitable for playing on your computer or in your car (which is where I do most of my listening). If you've already gotten the previous version I'll be happy to replace it with the new one. I think those who received the previous version of this playlist will testify to the level of quality I tried to maintain. A small regret is that I've endeavored to do complete works whenever possible and not individual movements. That and the limit I placed on length leaves out some lovely music by more expansive composers like Bruckner, Shostakovich, Rachmaninov, etc. No charge. My treat. Really.

I read at Ken Levine's site earlier today, his review of the new A Star Is Boin.
Overall his review was it's not great, but not horrible either. Also he did a lot of funny jokes about how Hollywood just can't stop making remakes of that film about every 20 years. Can't wait for the next version of ASIB. Will probably be a same-sex couple...

As for solar panels, one of the worst nights I had stuck working at the hospital was when a thunderstorm took out the "solar farm" within view of the ICU.

They also don't last very long, don't work except in areas of continuous sunlight. And they are hazardous to dispose of properly, can't be recycled, and it costs a lot of money. Finally, they don't produce enough energy to be cost effective. Sounds like the perfect National Socialist Make Work Program to Enrich the Dictator and his Friends. What's not to like?

What the hell do they put in solar panels?
Posted by: Aetius451AD Work Laptop at December 11, 2018 10:05 PM (6o8TS) About 20 yr supply of electricity. When exposed to sunlight, the solar photons replace these electrons slowly... When the electrons are all gone, the solar panels simply absorbing all the photons, creating Night. Very unpleasant to have around then. Posted by: tumbleweed at December 11, 2018 10:28 PM (VWiVo) 86

1. They cannot do algebra worth a damn. They could if they really wanted to, but lack good study habits. 2.

It's not even Christmas, but I'm already sick of winter. I can't swim because both the pool and the room it's in are too bloody cold. Don't know if it's my age or the stupid autoimmune disease I picked up somewhere. I have two dogs and a cat who have cabin fever. Every time one goes out, they come right back in with this accusing look on their face as if it's my fault. I'm sick of Christmas, too, now that you mention it. We're trying to declutter the house and the kids give us presents. Amazon keeps delivering at three in the morning, which sets the idiot dogs to barking their fool heads off. I bought a beautiful cross stitch chart that turns out is printed in nine different little squares. And you can't just cut and scotch tape the nine squares together because side A is printed directly behind side B, so I'm off to argue with Kinko that I am not breaking copyright because it's for my personal use. And now I have bored all of you to death with the triviality my life has become since being forced into retirement. (Yes, I'd love to get a part time job, but I have doctor's appointments scheduled up the ying-yang. Employers love it when you tell them you can't work this day or that, and by the way, you'll probably be in the hospital for one piddling little thing or another the day they need you most.)

Solar panels make great sense on a cruising sailboat.
Those and a quality wind generator can really help keep the house-bank (non-engine starting batteries) charged, which is crucial to operating a boat's fridge, freezer and other electrical draws. Otherwise, it's fire up the fuel-thirsty, noisy genset and churn that baby for however many hours it takes to top off the cells. Dockside though, a boat is normally hooked up to a 20 amp or 50 am shorepower service. And all that solar up atop the bimini is just now a depreciating bird-poop collector. A courteous mariner though, either puts the braking pin in, or removes the propeller blades from the wind generator when dockside. They do kind of annoy the neighbors with noise, when spinning needlessly up on their pole. But scaling that system up to what it'd take to power a suburban home? And how much you wanna bet that the average homeowner won't wash the dust off of 'em, even once a year. I'm always happier than not, that I didn't return to CA after my USAF days.

The solar panel article is misleading. Most of the bulk of a solar panel is harmless glass, metal, and plastic. Sure there is lead in the solder, and possibly cadmium in the silicon wafers, but not in huge bulk.
We on the right need to be careful about countering misinformation from the Left with misinformation of our own, especially if it is easily debunked. The real reason for not using solar panels for generating grid power is that they are singularly useless for that task. Full stop. If they were truly useful for that task, they'd be economically viable, and ways would be found to safely and profitably recycle them at the end of their life cycle. Perhaps we could run them through a crusher, then dissolve the toxic heavy metal with chelating agents, and then separate the glass, plastic, and metal particles for reuse.

Posted by: publius, the Duke of Miley's Ficus at December 11, 2018 10:47 PM (NMAzL) I think it has far less to do with the boob pics (porn stars have explicit content on their Twitter accounts, or so a friend told me), it has more to do with my needing "to get my mind right" on how to make Twitter a "safe space".

Dumping Pence won't do any good in giving Trump a political heir, it's extremely rare for Vice Presidents to get elected to immediately after the President they served with. A better move would be for Trump to place any potential successors in his cabinet if he wants them to have a decent shot at getting elected.
Posted by: Surfperch at December 11, 2018 10:52 PM (tYPH9) This. One of the big things was name recognition and actual personality recognition. We knew what we were getting, warts and all (although I would argue most of us did not know he would perform as good as he has.)

Posted by: Adirondack Patriot at December 11, 2018 10:54 PM (ZxU8C) ------------- I think Pence is a good balance to hardass PDT.

Very true. Imagine being chosen as PDT's successor and mentored by the Donald himself. Very very cool.
The successor must have phuque-ewe money because the constant personal litigation costs are going to be astronomical.

Not only did Macron lecture President Trump about patriotism being unpatriotic, he's done a lot of other stuff recently. He said the center of French culture was in Africa. He said there was no such thing as a real Dutchman or real Frenchman. He posed with convicts and illegals as they flip the bird. And then he imposed the gas tax. Straw/Camel. And now a known wolf attack on Christmas revelers.

But as I keep reminding everyone, at least the "criminal justice reform" thing will pass. So the incessant chants at Trump rallies for this reform, from spring of '16 til now, can now stop.
Posted by: rhomboid at December 11, 2018 11:24 PM (QDnY+) I wouldn't be too sure on that, rhomboid. The Democrats will inevitably demand more and more from the Bill until it becomes incapable of passing and then, once it fails, they'll blame the GOP for shooting it down. They've done it before with GOP-proposed Gun Control legislation and I don't see any reason for them to suddenly change and let Republicans (and by extension Trump) get any semblance credit for the passage of one of their longtime priorities.

Aetius Putin's career in the GDR is well known. And his German is pretty good.
His first visit as president to Germany, I think, he addressed the Bundestag in German. Watched it. His pronunciation is fine. Meanwhile - have we liberated the Sea of Azov! yet (I think a name like that just calls for an exclamation point, every time)? How's the Kerch Peninsula doing? No - this is not about some sci-fi story. Those are actual places. And it's telling that being a threat to *those* places pretty much sums up Russia's current power standings. Weakest they've been in 3-400 years, leaving out the Revolution - late 1920s period. Posted by: rhomboid at December 12, 2018 12:38 AM (QDnY+) 449

We have known he was a thug who came up in a machine that turned out virtually nothing but thugs, repression and murder.

Surfperch, if you're still swimming in this thread, my criminal justice reform comment was apparently not heavy-handed enough in its sarcasm. I was mocking the fact that despite having achieved almost nothing on the important items on its/Trump's agenda, the GOP was giggling with delight about passing some dubious thing that was 0.0% of their electoral platform since, well, forever.

Apart from the instant phone call to Dubya on 9/11, and the subsequent assistance in central Asian ops/logistics, nothing Russia has done for years makes any sense (from its own perspective).
Unless one sees the leadership as not that bright, utterly selfish and reckless, and the populace as mostly passive, with a fairly dumb national self-esteem nerve that's easy to tickle with stupid stunts. Whole former USSR was like this after the break-up. Most of it still is. Some places (Armenia) seem to be finally trying to grow up a bit, politically. Baltics were always quite different.

A new study that analyzed four years' worth of films found that female-led movies have consistently outperformed those in which men get top billing. The study analyzed the 350 top-grossing films worldwide released between January 2014 and December 2017. Researchers found that in films with small, medium and large budgets, all averaged better global grosses when a woman was listed as the lead star. Conducted by the talent agency Creative Artists Agency and the tech company shift7, the study found that films that passed the Bechdel test do better, too. The Bechdel test, an invention of the cartoonist Alison Bechdel, rates whether a movie features two female characters having a conversation about something other than a man.

Aetius I think it's somewhat complicated but Russia still lacks the rudiments that are almost required for true prosperity - rule of law, reasonable integrity and responsiveness of governance, entrepreneurial freedom, etc. There's also that X factor of culture (the old formula: changing little else, how many Taiwanese would you have to bring in and put in charge to make the place wealthy within 20 years?). And of course there's been a tremendous drain of some of the best entrepreneurial blood to the US, Israel, western Europe.

Aetius and Y5 the "spitballing" numbers used by Nazi planners when considering what to do with the conquered east (Belarus Ukraine and parts of Russia) all seemed to assume 30 million local inhabitants would ..... just be gone.
That's how many fewer would be required to make both war-time resource exploitation and post-war colonization work out (and Aetius yes, Hitler his own self foresaw colonization via an almost Spanish Empire-like system of military pioneer/settlers who would work the land and provide buffer security against the asiatic hordes). So German conquest of Russia, as in the 1940s, meant genocide and endless war/subjugation. Thus: marginally worse than what Russians do to themselves/allow to have done to themselves. So - German conquest bad! Posted by: rhomboid at December 12, 2018 01:24 AM (QDnY+) 518

Y's Dice, correct. Absent a Soviet political collapse, Germany really didn't stand much of a chance. I guess if there had been an immediate, singular focus on cutting the Volga and taking the Caucasus oil, then it's just barely feasible.
Though things did look quite sporty in late 1941, when the closest German units could see the domes of the Kremlin church, and much of the govt. had been evacuated to Kuibyshev. There were 2 key days in October, panic, in which Soviet rule (fear) broke down in Moscow - no lynchings of NKVD or Party scum, but open unthinkable behavior (dumping idiotic Lenin/Stalin literature or portraits on the streets, etc). But Stalin didn't evacuate, the mood calmed, the Red Army held, and here we are. Posted by: rhomboid at December 12, 2018 01:36 AM (QDnY+) 532
520 Without the advent of nuclear weapons, invading Russia is a high-risk, arduous undertaking. Even for the US at the height of its conventional military power. I don't think Germany could've pulled it off, even without the British front.
Posted by: Yudhishthira's Dice at December 12, 2018 01:26 AM (5aX2M) And the Germans came damn close. Stalin did a lot of their work for them in eliminating any competition for himself. Start two months earlier- when they planned? Dear God. It would have also meant that if they could destroy Stalin in Moscow, the whole enterprise becomes completely localized. Stalin had eliminated most of the leaders who could have led a resistance. I am not saying that the impetus to this is because of German brilliance or technology, Barbarossa is far more the fault of the purges of the military by the Soviets.

Shirer thought the Germans would have won if they'd made a single push directly for Moscow instead of the North/South strategy they adopted. The real Russian weakness was logistics - every major rail line went through Moscow, so the loss of the capitol would have meant Russian troops everywhere running out of food, fuel, and ammo.

Not so sure Yugoslavia was pointless. They had overthrown the pro-German leadership and Hitler could not really tolerate a hostile, or even potentially pro-Allied, situation there. Not before turning east in earnest, anyway. Which of course caused the delay.

Posted by: Skip at December 12, 2018 04:38 AM (/rm4P) No doubt in my mind that was a terrorist attack. The so-called investigators completely ignored eyewitness testimonies stating many saw a trail going toward the plane, not just coming from the plane. IMAO, it was a Bill Clinton cover-up because calling it terrorism would have forced Blow Job Billy to actually do something besides get hummers from an intern in the Oval Office. It would have been a simple matter to rent a fishing boat either on the north shore of Long Island or from somewhere on the south coast of Connecticut/Rhode Island, putter out to the JFK flight paths and wait for an opportune moment, launch a hand-held missile then skedaddle back to the coast, turning the boat in to avoid the whole WTC I Ryder van fiasco. Or someone could have bought a fishing boat for the purpose to avoid the whole rental issue. The attack could have been a retaliation for the capture of Ramzi Yousef as well as that is also a terrorist pattern: Capture a high ranking jihadi causing the jihadis to retaliate.

They were supposed to be voting on an agreement to leave, but apparently that agreement is shitty, so it will fail. That is my understanding.

Good Morning, it's been a while since I've posted, but I'm here everyday lurking behind the bushes
About that solar article, the VA solar plant they talking about in that article is literally across the street from my house. I heard them clearing the trees and you can see the acres and acres that have been cleared, it looks like a nuke went off. It's so sad because they are trying to build this right next to residential areas with absolutely no concern to the health of the people surrounding. The residents are trying desperately to stop it, but it's in the hands of the BOS right now, because S-power (company building it) has to get a special use permit to build. Right now the land is zoned for agricultural and residential. There are civil war battlefields all around the area. It's such a disgrace, but I fear the right people may have already been bought. The company is from Utah, and the power generated has already been sold to Microsoft and Amazon and I believe a small amount to the university in Richmond. They are using our little community as a dumping ground. Posted by: spypeach at December 12, 2018 05:18 AM (TQEpc) 618

Reading French history after WW2, Stalin pretty much took over the labor unions. Millions of French workers were members of the Communist party, mostly seduced by propaganda from Moscow. Most of the French governments only lasted a few months. And Moscow convinced the French to kick out the Americans, calling the Marshall plan a ploy to take over.

Admiral Taussig was his father. A very good strategist. However, he told the truth to Congress, angering FDR twice. Our defenses in the Philippines would have been much more robust if his 1938 recommends had been followed. Alas. Still, her got a major road named after him.

" ... , and the power generated has already been sold to Microsoft and Amazon and I believe a small amount to the university in Richmond. " I've always found it fascinating how they send particular electrons across the grid to their intended recipients. Must be kinda like IP addressing, but much smaller. Posted by: sock_rat_eez at December 12, 2018 07:03 AM (mfOi4) It's a function of who gets to actually get paid for supplying the power. If you and I each have a generator, we can each dump electricity into the grid. We get paid per MWH, but only if we have a buyer. When I was working at the steel mill, we bought a certain amount of power every 30 minutes at a given rate. If we used more than we said for that 30 minutes, we would get severely penalized (like our rate would double for the calendar month, retroactively). That is why we actually had people monitor the electrical load continuously. Posted by: Deplorable Ian Galt at December 12, 2018 07:29 AM (8iiMU) 719

"To be fair to Pelosi, given her district and her staff, it's unlikely she knows what actual manhood even looks like."
To be fair to Nancy Pelosi, her failing mental faculties probably prevent her from remembering what an actual manhood feels like, as well. Although, the family trait of political misstatement and working outside the limits of the law seem to be engrained at the DNA level, and firmly functioning.
