Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | The Morning Report — 9/ 3 /26Good morning kids. Well to start things off we have this bit of breaking news Gloria Steinem, the pioneering feminist, writer and activist who helped define the modern women’s movement, has died at 92.If I want to be kind, and given the utter societal rot that she and others of her ilk precipitated over the past 60 years or so, I find it extremely difficult, so whatever legitimate grievances that women had which begat the women's movement, Steinem certainly played a pivotal role in bringing them to the fore. But at least from my perspective, like the civil rights movement, and our society's natural movement away from segregation and the evils of racism, women ultimately would have gained equal status thanks to the Judeo-Christian and American ethic that undergird society in the first place. Of course the anti-American Democrat/Left have been doing their damndest to tear that all down in their unslakeable lust for absolute power and so especially over the past 60 years they have corrupted every legitimate political movement in order not to build a more perfect union but to tear down the closest that humanity has ever come to it, the American experiment. And yet we're still here, but only just. And moving on to some horrific news from late yesterday afternoon out of Minneapolis. Yikes, we're stuck in an endless loop of alternate universe Mary Tyler Moore shows. At least six people, including two police officers, were shot in downtown Minneapolis Wednesday around 4:50 p.m. local time.No doubt P3DO adjacent/suspected governor Walz and Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey will do their best to obfuscate and cover up the identity and background of the shooter, who is in custody per the reports, and lead the call for the destruction of the Second Amendment, despite Minnesota already being one of the strictest anti-2A states in the nation as it is. Having zero information about the perp, but in every case like this that I can recall, the shooter was not a member of the NRA or GOA, but it's the guns, and white people and toxic masculinity (that's for you Gloria Steinem). Meanwhile in another part of the forest... ‘I Like To Kill Jews’: Columbia Protester Upheld by Media as Gentle Peace Activist Is Accused of Supporting Terrorists, Boasting He Can Use a Machine Gun, in Scathing New Report. . . The Palestinian Columbia student, Mohsen Mahdawi, is currently fighting deportationOh no, the infamy! We can't have that can we?! Meh, who needs this when we have our own homegrown Zyklon A-Z sucking self-gassers ready willing and able to line us all up for the aforementioned fiend before inhaling deeply! But addressing an event for Michigan Jewish Democrats, Nessel made her best case in a speech that will last long past this cycle because of the nakedness of its horrifying argument. “We have a moral imperative to place the needs of the world above even our own self-interest and, yes, even our own survival,” Nessel told Jewish Democrats. Those “needs of the world” required Jews to vote for Democrats, including presumably El-Sayed, who had made excuses for a Muslim terrorist attack against Jewish children in the preschool of a Michigan Temple.With Jews like Dana Nessel we don't need the Einsatzgruppen. Yes sir that's my Yasser!!!! Evil filthy drunken slag shitwhore needs to have dinner with Gloria Steinem, soon! Finally, I note yet again with a mix of puzzlement, curiosity and satisfaction the anomaly that is John Fetterman. . . . Like, the DSA, they’re deeply anti-American,” Fetterman said. “They’re deeply anti-capitalism. They’re deeply anti-the American way of life.” Fetterman continued to point out that “when you look at the kind of individuals that are actually in the DSA,” they live in homes that their parents bought for millions of dollars. “They want to impoverish middle class whites, and seize all the production,” Fetterman continued. “I would think every single Democrat should condemn the DSA. This is not like a big tent situation, they should have their own entire party, and run alone as the kinds of communists, and socialists, and anti-American party that they are.”Regardless of why he is publicly destroying the DSA while no doubt still embracing core Democrat/Liberal beliefs and shibboleths, his overt broadsides are needed, loudly, frequently and repeatedly. That they are coming most effectively from him and not from anyone in the GOP is frustrating and telling. So give 'em hell Lumpy! Have a good day.

Was quite surprised, while scrolling through YouTube shorts last night, that there are dozens of clips from the movie, "Citizen Vigilante" posted. What was equally surprising were the comments. The majority supported the premise of the movie, most stating that unless something is done, the west will be taken over by those portrayed in the film. Wow! I guess it struck a nerve.

Steinem defended her relationship to the CIA, saying: "In my experience the agency was completely different from its image; it was liberal, nonviolent and honorable."

Who got so drunk at a UM/MSU football game a few years ago while in office she was carried out by ushers.

The article that mentions Charlotte Perkins Gilman's "The Yellow Wallpaper": I've seen no less than three different interpretations of that story. Straightforward horror tale, portrait of schizophrenia, and the latest, male oppression and exaltation of feminism.
Remarkable that the story has had such legs. Personally I prefer the first two interpretations, maybe combined -- the woman confined to her room is already tending to the schizophrenic, and something evil is able to slither into her disordered mind.

Define Slavery. The kind of "slavery" that demands reparations. Define Reparations. Give us the argument that "reparations" are the only remedy. Indicate the moral authority for this plan of action. Tell us exactly how much reparations cost, explain in detail how you arrived at that number, and give examples of where reparations solved the underlying problem and brought peace, joy and justice.

Evening and morning for the first Thor's Day in Sept. this year. I'm up a little ahead of the alarm, but feel pretty rested anyway.
Today I have to run out to the western suburbs, have the Buick's blood swapped out, give it some more food, and drop some of Linda's old clothes at the thrift store nearby. Maybe I'll hit Walmart too; it's right there, and I need to buy a refill phone card. The big Buick is at 100,300 miles now, age ten, seven of those years under my watch. Aside from a faint fading of the paint on roof, hood, and trunk -- some of which can be countered by careful waxing -- it looks almost new and runs like an muscular limousine. Whenever I have occasion to run on a highway or smooth roads, I look forward to traveling in the LaCrosse. Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at September 03, 2026 05:31 AM (wzUl9) 22

All the guys out there who are still braving the crazy (and crazy-making) dating market finally have the perfect test to expose superficially normal-seeming nutbars.
Just ask a woman what she thinks about the Lindsey Clancy case, and the child murder apologists won't even try to hide it, because they're convinced that they're the morally superior and righteous ones. It's wild, but useful, and potentially thousands of men could dodge a bullet (probably metaphorical, but who knows). Posted by: SciVo at September 03, 2026 05:37 AM (ke3zm) 25

24 Just ask a woman what she thinks about the Lindsey Clancy case, and the child murder apologists won't even try to hide it, because they're convinced that they're the morally superior and righteous ones. It's wild, but useful, and potentially thousands of men could dodge a bullet (probably metaphorical, but who knows).

Wouldnt t it depend on the woman? I think she's a murderess and should be held fully accountable-either by going to jail or being held in a mental I institution .for the rest of her life I imagine most women on AOS feel the same, I think the internet exaggerates things to put people against each other , and because a group of women in pink shirts either on the jury or the ones doing "performance art " on the internet are shrieking in support of her it doesn't mean millions of women in the U.S. are. I think I need another break from the internet today and bad news and the "All women support The child murderess." No, we don't Have a good day, everyone.

The ones going out of their way to make the bestest car-seat confessional about their love of some crazy bitch who killed her children are the ones who have truly learned to love Big Brother. The content of what they're saying doesn't matter, because they know what Big Brother needs them to say and gosh darn it they're going to say it louder and prouder than anyone else because they know what today's Goodthink is.
Eastasia has always been at war with Oceania. There are five lights. Et cetera et cetera. It doesn't matter if it's the old cliche about killing your parents and then demanding the sympathy due to an orphan, in reverse and one step removed. Big Brother has declared that up is down, left is right, good is evil, and so on. After enough years of that kind of training, you spontaneously start applying that Opposite World filter to every piece of social information you consume, automatically.

Had to drop my car off at the dealer today and was won I haven't been to before. After work I pulled up to their service area to do a drop off and....they had a car parked in the way blocking entry.
I went into the dealership part and they told me I had to drive all the way around the back of the building. "Its to keep the cars safer" they said. What the heck? They have hundreds of new cars on the lot and they use one to block off the area were the cars they are working on are located? 1) How bad is crime in this area? 2) Why wouldn't you steal a new car instead of an old busted one?

Much better today after my husband's surprise MRI that he was falling apart (gluteus minimus detached from bone and other stuff).
Not much pain & he's had a few tears fixed in the past with a stem cell injection. No limp, either, thankfully. He may or may not need endoscopic surgery. The result of long distance running for 40yrs. He found on AI that being a geezer (his words) they may not bother since other muscles are compensating. A rare advantage of being old (altho neither of us look it or act it). It gave me hope. Spent all morning on the phone getting the MRI sent to the university and top doc's team. Who, I found out, does not operate often on people over 50yrs. However they will find someone. Meanwhile I found two others if we need another opinion. Then I quit and focused on nothing. Things are looking up. We may need your prayers in the future, please, as he's only had one tiny surgery in his life (cut thumb tendon, the guitar picking thumb that is fine, one Easter dinner). So we wait. I'm waiting. Probably won't know squat til next week. Got the MRI faxed & referral letter faxed to "the team."

On the exoplanet front, they've found another wild one, GJ 523b. This is a "mega-earth", even more massive than a super-earth. It's about 23 earth masses and 2.5 earth radii (which would translate to a surface gravity of 3.7 g). It's orbiting a mid-K star, GJ 523, about 87 light years away. This is an outlier oddball. Very dense, but large radius. Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at September 02, 2026 10:53 PM (w6EFb) 131

Guess what he might have to do in rehab either way? I told him to swim when we had a pool in FL, "but he didn't like it." Well, here we are now with me limber and him falling apart.

Half a century ago, when MiladyJo and I had been "together" for just a few months, we went to her home town, Chicago, to (gulp) meet her family and celebrate Christmas and New Year's.
She wanted us to go to the New Year's Eve show at the Earl of Old Town, so one day when we were out buying Christmas gifts, we stopped by the bar to buy tickets. There was nobody in the bar but the bartender and some guy up on stage, a short young fellow, dressed in raggedy blue jeans and a big smile, strumming on a beat-up old guitar. As we stood there, he burst out with a familiar train song. We listened a while, then headed out to shop more. I turned to her and exclaimed, that was a great version of that song! She replied, it ought to be, that was the guy who wrote it. I said, you mean we just walked out of a private performance with the guy we just bought tickets to see on New Year's?!? Yup. We should have just gone back in. But we caught his show that New Year's, and the second set, and many New Year's shows subsequently. Great songwriter, energetic performer, and a great guy. Gone 'way too soon. https://youtu.be/e4ztWNJYFrU G'nite, y'all.💤 Posted by: mindful webworker - just add cheeeese at September 02, 2026 11:01 PM (Cl/mc) 148

Report on the Dominion Con in Hamilton Ontario by John Carter's Substack.
"The Dominion Society was founded barely over a year ago, and rapidly exploded to over three thousand members across the country. It is a peaceful and explicitly non-partisan political advocacy group dedicated to advancing the cause of remigration within Canadian civil society. " https://tinyurl.com/49bz9v63 One of the pull quotes: "Back in Hamilton, Andrea Horwath hosted a little Hope Not Hate demo at City Hall, attended by a small clutch of geriatrics high on the ghost of John Lennon and the paramoral rush of dispossessing their children for cheap labour and expensive real estate. The contrast between the small gatherings of elderly leaflibs and spiteful mutants on the one hand, and the predominantly young, male, clean-cut DomCon attendees on the other, was, well, exactly what you’d expect really."

I filled in the hole I dug to work on my septic tank. Got most of it done by using the bucket on the excavator to drag dirt off the spoil pile back into the hole. Then drove the excavator out of the way, and fired up my tractor, and used the loader bucket as a dozer to push most of the remaining dirt into the hole. Leaving a mound, in fact.

123 poly and AHL:
As you likely know, Barbara Tuchman wrote a best selling book entitled, "Stilwell and the American Experience in China." Gen. [Richard] Stilwell's kept a diary. Here is the Cliff Notes version: 1) Gen. Stilwell, head of the U.S. military mission to China, had TOTAL contempt for Chiang Kai-shek. Stilwell always refers to Chiang as "Peanut." 2) Stilwell believed that the Nationalist govt was so corrupt and un-reformable that every American dollar spent trying to help Peanut was wasted. EVERY damn dollar. He cites numerous examples of U.S. attempts to help Chiang, all of which came to nothing, because Chiang's "commanders" didn't make any real effort to fight Mao. They just wanted loot, and the Nationalist conscripts were totally demoralized as a result. Stilwell couldn't do a thing about that, despite herculean efforts to turn the unfolding disaster around. 3) Chiang's power base, to the extent he ever had one, was located in the larger cities, all of which had been occupied first by the Japanese, & then by the Communists. So, who lost China? Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek. The Nationalist "commanders" even stole utensils from military hospitals. Posted by: mnw at September 02, 2026 11:32 PM (RCjYY) 197

Look up the etymology of "can" as in container. The word sort of came from a container, and then got associated with cylindrical metal such containers.
Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at September 02, 2026 11:35 PM (w6EFb) The original British patent used metal cans where the lids were crimped and soldered on. There were a number of preservation methods used prior to that, one of them was called (later) french preserving where cooked meats were put in ceramic jugs and covered with fats to exclude air and bacteria and then closed with oiled paper. In the canning process where the contents and the container are sealed and then heated to sterilize, jars were not used until later, when a process to make the mouths of the jars regular and easily sealable was developed, and rubber sealing rings were made for sealing.

Since it's an ONT, and VJ Day, semi-obligatory trivia.
Yoko Ono's uncle, Kase Toshikazu, was the young diplomat on the USS Missouri assisting the Japanese foreign minister. The younger guy, top hat, holding a briefcase, no glasses. He created what some consider the most Japanese moment ever. He noted that the Canadian and French representatives had signed erroneously, on each other's lines, on the Instrument of Surrender (the Canadian made the mistake, forcing the French rep to sign on the line for Canada). He brought this up with Gen. Sutherland, who finally, in frustration, used his own pen to cross out the country names under the respective signatures and write in Canada and France where needed. Delegation member from the party submitting to unconditional surrender after having its country burnt to the ground insists on every detail of the surrender document being perfect. Incredibly Japanese. Posted by: rhomboid at September 03, 2026 12:11 AM (U/Byj) 244

Could you do canning in an inert gas atmosphere? A cylinder of argon doesn't cost a whole lot, and you could rig it to pressurize a box with gloves affixed. Put all your freshly-filled jars in the glove box; let the argon displace the air, and then, using the gloves, apply the lids.

Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at September 03, 2026 12:14 AM (1z8ji) Possibly, but the main problem with canning is botulism, which is an anaerobic soil microbe, and has to be heated to about 240F for a period to destroy. All the Argon will do is displace the O2, which is perfect for the botulism to grow. now, what I am interested in is "pascalization" which puts the food under extreme pressure for a short while and then released, which kills all the spoiling and toxic microorganisms, without heat modifying the food. 50.000 psi comes to mind but I would have to look it up. The drawbacks are that the enzymes may not be destroyed and can continue to digest and change the food being preserved, and the current equipment will fit nicely into a semi trailer.

Posted by: tcn in AK Yep! With all the kids at home and so many many PBJs, the stuff didn't last. And we were under strict orders to save the paraffin! Peaches & tomatoes & other stuff, always got the *real* canning jars, bands and lids. Posted by: JQ at September 03, 2026 12:24 AM (rdVOm) 268

Mom & Grandma used whatever jars they had-- with our without lids, so they sealed jams/jellies with paraffin.
We lived! Posted by: JQ at September 03, 2026 12:09 AM (rdVOm) I worked with a guy from Spain who said his mom used whichever jars they had saved. Since I gather up canning jars like a fiend it made my soul hurt a tiny bit to think of someone canning in the equivalent of a Pace salsa jar reusing the original lid. There clearly was a fortune to be made from black market jars and smuggled Ball canning lids. Posted by: Kindltot at September 03, 2026 12:30 AM (rbvCR) 274
now, what I am interested in is "pascalization" which puts the food under extreme pressure for a short while and then released, which kills all the spoiling and toxic microorganisms, without heat modifying the food. 50.000 psi comes to mind but I would have to look it up. The drawbacks are that the enzymes may not be destroyed and can continue to digest and change the food being preserved, and the current equipment will fit nicely into a semi trailer.
I haven't figured out how to home-build one Posted by: Kindltot at September 03, 2026 12:24 AM (rbvCR) Sufficient pressure to break down the cells of microorganisms might also break down the cellular structure of the food, making it into syrup. Unless perhaps the pressure simply reverses osmotic pressure on the cell walls of the "bugs" causing them to die, while having no effect on the already dead cells of the food material? What about using gunpowder to drive a ram into a cylinder of the food to be preserved? Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at September 03, 2026 12:31 AM (1z8ji) 275

Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at September 03, 2026 12:31 AM (1z8ji) Heat canning also breaks down the cell structure, and the extended cooking changes the textures and flavors, which is an issue with things like guacamole or oysters. Generally not a problem if you avoid the things that cause problems like that I would be more into using a hydraulic ram to compress a water bath to transmit pressure to the food in plastic bags The Finns at the Hydraulic Press Channel could give me tips, I guess.

Kindltot-- Mom used mayo jars sometimes, but didn't use the original lids except for capping in the fridge, after the paraffin was removed. Mayo jar threads used to match that of canning bands, but that changed sometime in the 70s or 80s (?) in order to prevent their re-use as canning jars.
Any other jar was also fair game, for Mom's jam/jelly. Again she only saved the lids for *after* the paraffin seal was broken. I've been given boxes of "canning jars"-- only to find that half (or more) were merely plain glass empties of whatever. I will not use those, and I don't seal with paraffin. Lids, bands, and water bath processing only. Posted by: JQ at September 03, 2026 12:39 AM (rdVOm) 286

I played guitar for just shy of 50 years, until a late-blooming variety of muscular dystrophy wiped out my hands (it also took my carpentry career). I played bluegrass, all sorts of acoustic stuff, as well as country, blues, and rock and roll on electric. I figure I was about an eight-handicap guitarist; I wouldn't embarass myself or my host when I was waved up on stage by various friends in bands at bars, but I wasn't going to make it on the tour. The pyramid gets really narrow at the top - and sitting up there, grinning and playing stuff I can barely comprehend, is Billy Strings.
I've probably seen a couple hundred concerts since 1971, including the Grateful Dead at the Boston Garden on 5/7/77, the Newgrass Revival at the Ark in '87, John Jorgenson, Dave Alvin, Desert Rose Band... but the Billy Strings & Co show in Fishers IN (Indy) on 8/8/26 was easily in the top five shows ever. I was speechless when we left (a very rare occurrence). Billy is a phenomenal guitarist, absolutely, as well as composer, arranger, and band leader. He's also a dad, sober 10 years and pot-free over a year; he discusses this and a lot more in an hour-long interview on youtube. He's a mensch...

I picked, processed, and dried so many carrots this week. I love my new dehydrator. I would have canned them, but I'm living in the camper and I just can't see using the pressure canner on this little stove, and the noise would probably make me even more crazy than I already am.
The kitchen gets put in this month, and then I can make all the various soups I usually put up in fall. I have dried peppers as well, and I start on potatoes next week. Beef barley soup, chicken tortilla soup, chicken rice soup, ham bean soup, all kinds of lovely things to eat all year. I usually put up about 80 pint jars of soups and we routinely eat all of them in one year between the two of us. Whip up some biscuits and it's dinner.

JQ, I use old mayo jars and anything with a mason-type lid for water bath canning, especially fruit like plums and applesauce that I always have lots of free fruit from the yard. It only has to seal, and if it breaks, then I got the jar for free too.
My sad moment was when Classico changed its jars from mason type lids to a smaller lid that uses the lugs to screw on. It meant I no longer could get a free canning jar with my spaghetti sauce. Posted by: Kindltot at September 03, 2026 12:49 AM (rbvCR) 300
Dallas, received a notice that Texas Gov. Greg Abbott issued a directive ending funding for Flock camera use.
Dallas police pout: "These cameras remain an important investigative tool and are used daily by detectives and officers to develop leads, identify vehicles associated with criminal activity, and assist in solving crimes," the Dallas Police Department said on X. Dallas Police officials said that 321 Flock cameras supported by grant funding will no longer be eligible, meaning they will be canceled effective Sept. 15. After the move, the department "will continue to have more than 300 Flock cameras operating throughout Dallas," according to its X post.

Us Catholics ask: Where in the Bible does it say the only source for salvation of your soul is the Bible? Even the Bible tells you it is not the only source.

Posted by: exodus 21:22-25 at September 03, 2026 12:30 AM (F/8qj) Matthew 7:1-5. Checkmate. It seems to me that a Christian is someone who believes that a) all humans are sinners, b) the wages of sin is death, c) God sent his Son, Jesus Christ, to redeem humans from their sin d) If you repent (genuinely repent) of your sins and ask God for forgiveness in the name of Jesus, it will be granted to you. At least, I'm comfortable with calling anyone who believes a) through d) a Christian. All the rest of the trappings are about as important as whether your family opens presents on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. And if you think you need to kill someone because they open their gifts on Christmas Day, or pray in Croatian, or wear their work boots to church (because that's all they have) you have definitely lost the plot. But what do I know? As stated in a), all humans are sinners, of whom I am the worst.

White trash cooking tip of the week:
If you want shredded potatoes for something, and don't want to spend the time to make them, you can thaw tater tots in the microwave and break them up. I just made an omelet with 1/4 pound of Jimmy Dean hot sausage, two eggs, a thick slice of Tillamook sharp cheddar crumbled, six crumbled tots, and some frozen pepper strips.

When Oregon had an ice storm a couple Januaries ago, we survived by keeping the wood fireplace going, closing some doors, and sleeping in the family room.

Night AOP.
I have a couple of old mason type jars on my kitchen window ledge, they were filled with wildflowers almost all summer, now I'll have to go back to buying supermarket bunches every two weeks. I like the way they look there, kind of that old glass with an aqua tinge to it, very pretty. Posted by: Debby Doberman Schultz at September 03, 2026 01:29 AM (ibDUx) 342

Anyone watch those youtube videos where they pit, like, an M1A2 Abrams vs. German Omaha beach defenses or a modern attack sub against the Japanese fleet on Infamy Day? They're interesting but always let you know what running out of modern ammo and/or fuel would put a stop to your divine dominance. But what would you do with a modern attack sub just after the Japanese planes launched from their carriers? Sub can't stop the planes and say you have 50 fish. What do you do with them? Then what do you do when you run out? Also, assuming you have a full load of food and other supplies (nuke fuel is no problem because that's several decades worth), you have a few months before you need to re-food and forget torpedos unless you could adapt the WW2 varieties.

My favorite grocery store used to have this excellent little section of 'hispanic' foods/spices. Heh, it's gone-- just a short shelf space left, with no more bags of dried chilies, corn-husk tamale wrappers-- only a few spices now. The end-cap full of tortilla products is also gradually shrinking in variety. Noticed also, that the asian products are shrinking away, little by little.
I'll miss some of the specialty stuff, sometimes, but otherwise? I voted for this! Posted by: JQ at September 03, 2026 01:44 AM (rdVOm) 356

Speaking of storms on other planets, while not really a "storm" in the sense, one of the most intriguing "weather patterns" is Saturn's north pole hexagon: https://t.ly/DlwIL Each side of that hexagon is about 1000 miles wider than the earth's diameter. Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at September 03, 2026 02:35 AM (w6EFb) 368
Weather forecast said rain today (Wednesday), and temp ~70F. *BZZT!* Wrong...
Sunny, 80*, and a light breeze. Sprinkled a bit, couple hours ago. Just enough to wet the dust. Waiting! Waiting for a cooler day and some free water! Thursday says: 100% chance of rain & low-70s temp. Okay, but I've got sprinklers ready to go because yard is parched. Posted by: JQ at September 03, 2026 02:36 AM (rdVOm) 369
367 one of the most intriguing "weather patterns" is Saturn's north pole hexagon
I've seen that before, and it is so weird! We were at Devil's Postpile last week. The sign said the hexagons come from cracks forming at 120 degrees in various places, then meeting to make hexagons. I'm not 100% convinced. Why are all the pillars nearly the same size? Posted by: frammish at September 03, 2026 02:41 AM (rcENI) 370
The South pole didn't have any such geometric pattern while Cassini was there. However, recent Hubble images now show a decagon has developed there: https://t.ly/zzlYU They think that first started to develop in 2023 or so. The hexagon seems to be be more permanent. Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at September 03, 2026 02:44 AM (w6EFb) 371
Nature can produce surprisingly coherent geometric shapes as well as the usual fractal looking patterns. Telling the difference between natural and man-made (or .... not saying who, but you know who) is tricky sometimes. In figuring out that hexagon, then were able to get patterns with water and differential rotation (one of those articles may mention that). So, we do see these polygons emerging out of spinning fluids naturally. Surprising. Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at September 03, 2026 02:47 AM (w6EFb) 372

So, if you have a few prayers in you this evening, Sabrina's funeral is Saturday, even though there's no body left. From 14:00 to 17:00. Just mostly folks sharing stories and generally honoring her.
I am stuck in the stage where I just want her back. Not sure that's one of the stages of grief, but it sort of sucks. My good friend who chartered the plane and chose who went? He's struggling mightily as well, so a prayer or two for him, please. We are monitoring him closely, just in case. But he is a vet from the Afghanistan campaigns, so he is acquainted with misery and death. I'm not sure it gets easier but maybe he has a framework to put it all in. Eternal rest grant unto her, Oh Lord. And may perpetual light shine upon her. Posted by: tcn in AK at September 03, 2026 03:28 AM (460M+) 376
I am favorably inclined to the Deere but when I think of John Deere, it also conjures thoughts of "outdoor scents" that seem sub-optimal for my personal care needs.

Via Mark1971, a woman was attacked by a river otter, who turns out to be, as nurse ratched always says, evil.
Wasn't this attack in Lake Tahoe? If so, then wouldn't that be a lake otter, not a river otter? And aren't lake otters more closely related to sea otters than river otters? And do lake otters hold hands while they sleep? Posted by: Duncanthrax at September 02, 2026 07:54 PM (0sNs1) 4
