We — our firefighters have been so, very, very courageous. Now, we’re, again, breaking records. Mother Earth is angry.

Selective law enforcement and judicial tomfoolery has run amok in Portland. You can't make this stuff up. On Sunday, police arrested a man who confessed to starting a brush fire with a Molotov cocktail in Portland. They booked him in Multnomah County Jail. Portland being Portland, the authorities released the suspect that evening. The man then went on to start six more fires before the police arrested him yet again. The cops took him to a hospital for a mental evaluation. If this behavior is peaceful, I would hate to see them if they were pissed off. Rieli Franciscato, 56, the head of a program to protect indigenous groups that have little or no contact with the outside world, died Wednesday in the Seringueiras region, a remote municipality in the northern state of Rondonia, said a statement from the Brazilian government's indigenous affairs office, FUNAI, where he worked. FUNAI declined to say how he died. But witnesses said he was shot with an arrow while monitoring recent appearances by a tribe known as the "Cautario River isolated group," according to a photojournalist in the region, Gabriel Uchida. Rieli was accompanied by a police patrol. When the party came under fire with arrows, they ran to take shelter behind a vehicle, but Rieli was hit in the chest, witnesses said. He was taken to the nearest hospital, but died soon after. The tribe "are known as a peaceful group," Uchida told AFP in an email. I wonder if he and Timothy Treadwell are hanging out in the after life. Just thinking out loud. Everything you wanted to know about Boston Dynamic robots but were afraid to ask. Or maybe not. Boston Dynamics hired Playter in 1994. After 18 years as vice president of engineering, Playter took a director role when the company was acquired by Google. Following Google’s sale of Boston Dynamics to Softbank four years later, he became COO and then a year later, CEO. The Church of The Perpetually Offended is alive and well. How dare a clueless white guy use a word revolving around Mexican culture! As if it wasn’t already hard enough to open and maintain a restaurant in Minneapolis, what with the pandemic and rioting making the city almost unlivable. Brian Ingram found out the hard way that there were even more challenges awaiting him has he prepared to open his new eatery, Elotes Woodfire Grill on Thursday. The grand opening didn’t take place, however, for a couple of different reasons. One was a rather mundane problem with failing a municipal fire code inspection, but the other was a protest launched against the restaurant before it even opened. Activists were unhappy with the name, saying that Ingram, a White man, had no business using the word “elotes” because it would represent “cultural appropriation” of Mexican heritage or something. (CBS Minnesota) Joe Biden can't answer soft ball questions without a teleprompter. No way Biden can go face to face with Donny "Two Scoops" for four hours. President Donald Trump has accepted an invitation from Joe Rogan to appear on his podcast for a 4 hour live debate with Joe Biden. Tim Kennedy tweeted that the challenge was made by Rogan during an appearance on his podcast. “On my podcast with @joerogan he offered to moderate a debate between @JoeBiden and @realDonaldTrump It would be four hours with no live audience,” tweeted Kennedy. “Just the two candidates, cameras, and their vision of how to move this country forward. Who wants this? #debates #Election2020.” “I do!” responded Trump. September 14 is the anniversary of the Battle of Fort McHenry during the War of 1812.

Before I dive into the content... Is this something? Lately, I've noticed, Ace has been loading so slowly that frequently my browser times out. Repeatedly refreshing, same result. Front page and comments both. This is while using my AT&T cell as hotspot. No other sites do that, just AoS. Twice now, when that happens, I've switched on VPN and voila! Page loads plenty fast. Could AT&T be suppressing .mu.nu? Seems unlikely, but... hmmmm. VPN might mess up my IP for sock counting purposes, though.

As for that last picture: Walmart, H-E-B, Kroger, Publix, etc etc etc owe me so much store credit it's not funny. Why? Because their employees are nowhere to be found, and short people - 99% of whom are women well over 50 - ask me to get them items off of high shelves. Being a shade over 6 foot tall, that's what I'm there for.
Or course, on those rare occasions I am at that European chain, Walmart (well, they feature European shopping hours), I encounter the very top shelf, and snicker when I read "Please ask for assistance with items from the top shelf".

Hi Horde. Hard to contain this news: I'm on the road to getting the hell out of California. Early steps, anyway. Just signed a listing agreement. We had planned to head to Arizona in the next few years, sort of vague, but our real estate guy says this is the market moment. All sorts of forces coming together to make my house extra valuable. So what the hell, we're listing it. We'll see.

87 Hi Horde. Hard to contain this news: I'm on the road to getting the hell out of California. Early steps, anyway. Just signed a listing agreement. We had planned to head to Arizona in the next few years, sort of vague, but our real estate guy says this is the market moment. All sorts of forces coming together to make my house extra valuable. So what the hell, we're listing it. We'll see.

Sorry to be the downer tonight. It's been ridiculous here in the west. Between the lockdowns, the mostly peaceful riots and now the choking smoke permeating everything, I'm starting to lose my shit. We didn't see a shadow all day. My eyes and throat burn. I'm coughing.

Mindful I responded to your last post on the previous thread about if it really is official. Well it's on the Burger King Finland's Facebook and Instagram page. You click the link from their website and it goes to those pages and the image is there. So maybe it's originally a fan artwork but they are sure as hell endorsing and promoting it.

'Just the two candidates, cameras, and their vision of how to move this country forward. Who wants this? #debates #Election2020.' 'I do!' responded Trump My prediction: Joe flakes off after dithering. Jo Jorgenson is offered as an alternative, they decide to talk for an hour, and I give a 50-50 chance that Jo either votes for Trump or takes up his platform as LP candidate. Spike resigns.

Portland being Portland, the authorities released the suspect that evening. The man then went on to start six more fires before the police arrested him yet again. The cops took him to a hospital for a mental evaluation.

Posted by: nerdygirl at September 14, 2020 10:05 PM (+lVUW) If the Portland cops had put few rounds into the firebug's brain pan on the occasion of his second arrest, they wouldn't have had to take him in for mental evaluation.

Air purifiers are great, but if you don't have one, closing windows and running the furnace fan full time, so the air goes through the filter, is the next best thing.

Posted by: Splunge at September 14, 2020 10:24 PM (dOV9E) I live in an ancient house without such things as central air, so I had to get an air purifier. I think it has helped massively, to the point where when I leave my bedroom in the morning and get out around the house, my eyes have to get used to life outside the room and I undergo a minor sneezing attack. But this is what I need to do right now. I can't imagine being in nurse ratched's situation. If it were me, going through the breathing troubles I have had of late...I'd evacuate and say "call me when it's over". Of course I know plenty of people out that way can't do that.

It feels really weird; who would ever put their house on sale when the very sky is clouded with the smoke of recent fires? But apparently some combination of low interest rates and not enough houses on the local market, plus being in a desirable location, is making it a really hot seller's market. Odd.

I've been driving all day, but I wanted to make a comment about that Fox poll from earlier in the day.
Fox is not unusual in getting R/D/I splits that are something like 49/46/5. A lot of polling units will push the Inds to pick which party they identify with or will use a secondary screen like "who did you vote for last time" Most of the time it is kind of a wash because the Inds will split about 50/50 and the poll is pretty close. Dem outnumbering GOP by 4 or 5 is not uncommon in a poll. Dems have more registered voters in general, while GOP has more reliable voters. Where the problem comes is in a year when the Ind has a strong preference. Other polls show Trump leading 55/45 or even 60/40 with Ind. I'm not going to pull out excel to rebalance this with a more realistic result, but this poll at best is a tie with registered voters. And the voters are still being lied to about Biden's health. Once that becomes obvious, this election is going to start avalanching. Bad enough that it could have devestating down ballot impact. The Dems are on course to pay dearly for fixing their primary for Biden. Posted by: Dave in Fla at September 14, 2020 10:31 PM (5p7BC) 204

In medieval Venice, high platform shoes were a fad among upper class women for a few years, but I don't remember them being that tall with a spike heel. There was also a fad for platform sandals among Japanese geishas sometime during the Shotgunate, but again not that tall. Right now, my feet are whimpering in sympathetic agony.

Hey, all,
I'm not usually on the ONT this early. Apparently I've been missing stuff. Just walked Linda back to her place, as I do each evening. The wind is starting to pick up a little. We may not get rain until midday tomorrow, so I might be able to exercise early. All I worry about is the power going out. And I still think Star Wars' opening text was capped by the words "Episode IV: A New Hope." I recall being surprised by it when I first saw the film on its initial run. Now, it's possible I have it mixed up with a later release, or saw it on video. But I didn't even have a VCR to play videotapes until 1985. Perhaps when it ran on HBO in the early Eighties, the text was new there and that's what I recall. The only way to tell would be to run a 1977 print of the film, if such a thing exists. Or to find a contemporary review or commentary about the film in a newspaper or something. Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius at September 14, 2020 10:33 PM (rpbg1) 210

The incompetence of California's government is staggering.
Earlier today, when talking about clearing out the deadwood, someone complained that it would take a million acres of controlled burns a year to get it under control and keep it under control. A million acres! The size of the number daunted the guy. I pointed out that the state of Florida does two million acres of controlled burns every year to keep its dry, oily, Zippo-like slash pine forests under control, and Tallahassee is not exactly a model of well-functioning anything. Except, I suppose, by comparison to Pacific Coast state governments. Our ridiculous tinderbox forests don't light on fire and turn the state in a low-rent substitute for Mordor. Our stupid bullet train was actually built... and is privately run, even profitable until this COVID nonsense crippled it, like every other business.

Posted by: Quiet at September 14, 2020 10:33 PM (P0MsZ) the only way that is possible is that Trump is bleeding whites which I sincerely doubt ergo, polls BS Trump's leading by 8 Posted by: REDACTED at September 14, 2020 10:38 PM (O+AcM) I think both can be true.Trump is ahead in NC, and if he is not, we are are deep shit. But Trump is gaining with minorities but still it is close. The only answer possible is lefty liberal white jagoffs. Look at it another way, a previous Republican president had such numbers with various minority groups, the election would be a trouncing ala Mondale or worse. We see again an again that the real issue is lefty white people who went to college clueless and came out dangerous. Posted by: Quint at September 14, 2020 10:47 PM (JCBMS) 253

Congruent with rhomboid's recent comments, minor events today in my life have depressingly convinced me the great bulk of people (at least in California) treasure their new face shackles. Confidently I predict that Californians will *never* give up their mask hysteria. This lunacy is now a permanent part of life in the west.
One wonders if a new sort of segregated polity will emerge in the next five years. Maybe there will be parts of the country where mask/mass insanity will be accepted as normal and obligatory. Other parts will hopefully just point and laugh. I have to get out of here. Posted by: some guy out west at September 14, 2020 10:48 PM (XpDOS) 258

The 2006 releases included discs with the original theatrical release, complete with giant praying mantis in the cantina. Star Wars did not have the Ep. 4 A New Hope on the crawl. Apparently it was added only in 1981. Also another change is that "rebel" isn't capitalized in the original crawl.

I remember "Episode IV A New Hope" when I had all 3 bootlegged on a SP VHS in the 80s.
So they added it before 06. Everybody knew it was Episode IV in the 80s, which was why all us kids spoke hopefully about there eventually being nine movies. So did they add it to the rental VHS tapes we copied? I don't take that, or any, YouTube video as proof that it wasn't there.

Grump, the answer to question #163 is "yes", but it is very difficult. You basically have to switch the races involved in certain areas during the Civil Rights movements of the 50s and 60s, but if you can show that it was intentional governmental conduct to prosecute only certain crimes based on legally-impermissible determinations, there is redress. Generally, you are getting at 42 United States Code section 1983, which has its genesis in the Civil Rights Act of 1871. That act allowed the President to suspend habeas corpus in fighting the Klan. Democrats are doing now what Democrats once did -- act in contravention of the United States Constitution in the same way. It'd be ironic to invoke that act again.

God shows his true face in the Old Testament. The New Testament is a rejection of God, who is neither merciful nor loving, but harsh, demanding and unforgiving. The New Testament was the installation of a younger, more hip, more palatable successor to the God of Moses. God's message is that failure to live well, failure to thrive, failure to procreate are the real sins. Moses was his truest prophet, and Democracy is the Golden Calf that Moses warned us against. We're about to have our civilization voted into oblivion by the dregs of society, the idle offspring of privileged elitists, and egotistical Marxist scum.
Be competent, be intolerant of perversions, of lies and liars, honor the memory of those gone before, and honor the future by refusing to be cowed by the the feral ferocity of those now tearing away at the foundations of our culture, our civilization. Marxism is the true enemy of Civilized men. Posted by: ErikInTexas at September 14, 2020 11:01 PM (cqGlW) 320

301 I remember "Episode IV A New Hope" when I had all 3 bootlegged on a SP VHS in the 80s.
So they added it before 06. Everybody knew it was Episode IV in the 80s, which was why all us kids spoke hopefully about there eventually being nine movies. So did they add it to the rental VHS tapes we copied? I don't take that, or any, YouTube video as proof that it wasn't there. Because I know what every Star Wars kid talked about, and it was nine movies. In the early 80s. Posted by: Taqiyyologist at September 14, 2020 10:59 PM (j3jZX) Been there since 1981. Here's a video with all changes from the 1977 version, and the 2011 bluray. You can see that not only was the title added but they adjusted the spacing. https://youtu.be/RNbzSH84mj0 I had the 2006 dvd's that included the original theatrical versions and there was no Ep 4 A New Hope on it.

Austin Airs. They are built like tanks. I got mine used and they run 24x7. Air quality is awful out but I'm fine as long as the house is shut up. My stepson in Lincoln City says they are getting some rain! As for St Helens, it's different for me. I was due south so didn't get much ash. The ash was more abrasive. It ruined the cylinder walls of your engine. Animals escaping from it usually died from inhaling the ash. But this has gone on four days now with hazardous air quality levels.

And I still think Star Wars' opening text was capped by the words "Episode IV: A New Hope." I recall being surprised by it when I first saw the film on its initial run. Now, it's possible I have it mixed up with a later release, or saw it on video. But I didn't even have a VCR to play videotapes until 1985. Perhaps when it ran on HBO in the early Eighties, the text was new there and that's what I recall. The only way to tell would be to run a 1977 print of the film, if such a thing exists. Or to find a contemporary review or commentary about the film in a newspaper or something. Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius at September 14, 2020 10:33 PM (rpbg1) That is my memory as well. Then learned that it was the first part of the middle trilogy of Lucas' planned trilogy of trilogies. So it made sense for the "Wall of Text" introduction (like the preface in a book, setting time and place (literally)) to begin with "Episode IV". I saw it in a little theater outside an Air Force base. Most of the crowd must have been junior enlisted personnel, as they cracked up when Leia told Han to get "into the garbage chute, flyboy".

https://youtu.be/RNbzSH84mj0 I had the 2006 dvd's that included the original theatrical versions and there was no Ep 4 A New Hope on it. I'm still ticked I don't have them now. Posted by: buzzion at September 14, 2020 11:05 PM Thanks, Buzzion. I'm told on a Steam forum just now that it was a theatrical re-release in 1981. So no Mandela effect. I can now breathe easy.

It took only seven hours for the farmers to harvest the 1,000 acres of crops over the weekend. That's what you call good neighbors!

411 Since y'all are talkin' movies, just wanted to share again, that a 4k disc of Full Metal Jacket will be released later this month.
That makes four Kubrick flicks on 4k: Spartacus, 2001, The Shining and FMJ. (DrStrangelove is also available on a 4k disc, but only as part of an expensive Columbia Pictures retrospective box set; hopefully it will be available on its own in 2021.) Posted by: qdpsteve at September 14, 2020 11:20 PM (L2ZTs) Ah, the magic words. Full. Metal. Jacket. One of my favorite movies of all time. I'll never forget one time in the office, when I was a bright, shiny 1LT with friends of mine, one of who was a 2LT going for a master's in psychology. She very innocently asked, "Do you guys know of a movie that has a good depiction of basic training?" Other LTs and the Captain with our group all looked at each other, unbelieving. We pretty much all said, in unison, "Full Metal Jacket". And the rest of the day was given to us all quoting the movie to each other all day long, more or less.

Another classic novel I want to read is Catch-22, but I admit the length throws me off.

The one and only color episode of Perry Mason is running on MeTV right now. It was an experiment during the last season. While not the last episode of the final season, it was close to it. Victor Bueno is the villain. Had they gone another season, it was going to be in color, and this was a test run for it. But they didn't go another season. Raymond Burr then went Ironside the next year. Posted by: publius, Rascally Rapscallion of a Poperin Pear at September 14, 2020 11:39 PM (rCwaK) 501

In the late 80s, at least in my experience, there was no racial stuff or hitting. Of course there were plenty of stories of Drill Sergeants that lost it and went off on some recruit.
But the vulgarities flew freely and there were very few pc chants. There were no cards you could hand a drill sergeant to get him to lay off either. Posted by: Quint at September 14, 2020 11:41 PM (JCBMS) 505

Kubrick did firefights very realistically, for someone who had never been in one. The little action where the air force base is recaptured in Dr. Strangelove is very authentic, and the Battle of Hue in FMJ (except maybe for Animal charging the sniper, a little dramatic license) was like a documentary.

Trying to ascribe logic or reason to suburban wack jobs is a fools errand. They are bugnuts crazy, after all. It proceeds along a spectrum. Their worldview is perverted, a result of years of programming and being worked over, guilt tripped, and more.
At best, they will perhaps be willing to sacrifice you and your family, and anyone else, in order to maintain their delusions, to keep their world view intact. "Your death before their dishonor" as it were. At worst, I think ultimately they have a death wish, whether they are cognizant or not. They don't care, and will do nothing to protect themselves, and of course this means you shouldn't be able to protect yourself either.

I have never read anything by Kay Arthur, but she certainly has a number of books on spiritual warfare so I'm sure her entire view is not "snuggle up to God," Even Jesus who carried his cross did speak at time in very nurturing images of God as Father.

Got the first payment in my divorce settlement from my ex-wife over the weekend. Took it to my bank to deposit it to my account. I'm chatting with the cashier as she's reading the check and asks "your wife in Virginia?" i said yes, she asks "did she write this on the bottom of the check?" Again yes, then responds "boy she's really a bitch isn't she?" Laughing i told her THAT is why living in Hawaii, lol.

Reload them to the closest available data, and open up. There will be a small explosion, and then there will be a bit of a fire.

Gaelic Girl- My family moved to California in 1866. My great-grandfather was born in Lone Pine that year. They moved to the San Fernando Valley in 1870. I'll only stay until my mom has to move out of her house. I'll be sorry to leave Ca., but, as Ronald Reagan said about the Democrat Party, California left me.
Posted by: Charles the Simple at September 15, 2020 01:03 AM (HuH1F) Wow, your family's been here forever! Were they farmers or ranchers?

"Perfect" or variations appears 123 times in the KJV Bible. Most frequently in Job, Psalms, and Hebrews.
Psalm 139 is pretty good. 21 Do not I hate them, O Lord, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee? 22 I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies. 23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: 24 And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. ____ G'night, y'all.

The election if very close now and the idea of moving to many seems daunting. Similar to trying to get ammo, you see the idea of everyone in a crowded high rise trying to get threw a turnstile door at the same time.
I understand why many don't want to leave the place they grew up in, even if it is barely that place anymore. And also what comes will come. Sure if you live in the sticks it will be mostly something you see on tv or the net. But even those people are riled up about what is going on. Think of those who live in cities today. These people can't even safely put up a sign to support their candidate. Crime is skyrocketing and few are doing a thing about it. I feel bad for them but I also understand that many can't move or wont. Let us hope for the best because this has to be the most made up schism in history. I am not saying there are not problems, but there have always been problems. What I am saying is there has likely never been less reason for people to be so divided. And there have never in this country been more elected leaders who don't give a damn about anything other than their own power. Posted by: Quint at September 15, 2020 01:38 AM (JCBMS) 705

One thing I think many miss about the Gospels is that of course they were speaking to the world, but also that they were placed in an historical context. You can't ignore the historical context and think it was plonked down to fit every time exactly.

That they did not even have the Language for. It was also filtered through the MEMORY of Man. I know that its Holy writ, and Inspired by God, yet we KNOW that the text has been altered (things like, the commandment is actually 'though shall not commit murder' not thou shall not kill.) Its also been reinterpreted over the Years. The view of the Bible today, is WAY different than say, the Crusaders, or the Inquisition, or even the pre 1900 view that it was Works that got you to Heaven, not intent.

My guess is the real growth area will be private security. Not tech security as his been droned on about for years, but private security companies that have a guy with a gun that will at least attempt to make your area less dangerous.
Posted by: Quint at September 15, 2020 01:40 AM (JCBMS) Private security only goes to so far, or at least the money to pay for private security only goes so far. Once private security is targeted, you can bet your bottom dollar that private security will unass the area ASAP, stating to those who hired them (quoting the minister in 'Blazing Saddles'): You're on your own. Private security may be mercenary, but they are not stupid; they have a sense of self-preservation, too. Posted by: RickZ at September 15, 2020 02:11 AM (Y8PSl) 743

Posted by: Romeo13 at September 15, 2020 02:09 AM (NgKpN) I mostly don't get into theological arguments here as they don't seem to accomplish a lot. By that I mean arguments over who is right, Catholics, Lutherans, Baptists etc. I do enjoy learning about that stuff because it is interesting how things turned out. Not here, but so many Christians turn off study at all. My personal opinion is the Bible was inspired by God and it is His word. Of course man played a major role. Heck, man decided which books got in and which did not. This should nor surprise imo as the Bible is God's Word to man. I remember a class on the New Testament where the professor was a minister. You had several people object when he discussed the origination of various New Testament books. These will meaning kids objected to even the study of the books as history. Like I said, they thought of them as plonked down on the world from nowhere. And yeah. There were rewrites and omissions. Most of these scribes were doing it by hand and by candlelight. They translated the verses from other languages. Man played a major role and that is historical fact. None of this changes that it is is the word of God. But I never understood why some are so loath to study the history of it all. Then again, I guess I do understand. I can see people getting worried that bad actors would get involved. But history is history and it is part of it. Posted by: Quint at September 15, 2020 02:19 AM (JCBMS) 748

--- It's worth noting that Jesus is indicating a change in situation from the occasion He sent out 70, 2 by 2-that the circumstances of their journeys no longer applied, something that gets lost (deliberately, I think) today. The earlier section was the one where He sent them out as lambs among wolves and expected friendly housing to just be there when they arrived, for example.

That said, Quint is exactly correct in his Pastor' appreciation of Version and text. I started out on the Living Bible. How I remained a Christian after that, is a Miracle.

The KJV.
With a Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible, and a W.E. Vine's Dictionary of New Testament Words, you will pretty much not go wrong. Here's the problem with later versions in a nutshell. 1920s. It's cool, man, it's cool! (listener hands you a sweater). Vernacular changes. The King's English is fixed in IT'S time, and can be researched and fixed down to the meaning of the slightest nuance. You can't do that with the fluid and ever changing English we've known since Colonial time. Better that we reference a NOT CHANGING, time-frozen period of fixed meaning and nuance, and work up from there,. By time a 2020 "translation" team completes their work, it'll be 2040, and the meaning of every word will have changed. Buy a KJV, sir? It's only half priced!

At sea, if you have to rely on CIWS, the enemy is too close. I like the tech for protecting important land sites. But we are failing in deterrence if we use those defenses. Iran and Iranian forces should fear our retribution, even if all incoming missiles are stoped before impact. It can be asymmetrical. How would Iran like all of it's forces in Yemen becoming US targets, in a much more forceful manner than today? That is one example. Posted by: NaCly Dog at September 15, 2020 03:07 AM (hyuyC) 762

Tie one arm behind your back so we have a fair chance (or you feel better about using force.) That is the point of 'proportional force.'

The non historian Shelby Foote was wrong when he defamed USA troops by saying the "North" fought that war with one hand tied behind its back. He could not have been more wrong about that. And what a dumb thing to say when you think about it. The worst thing is a long drawn out fight that solves nothing and only cranks up the body count. A funny thing about the Civil War. No troop every gave a damn about his leader's ideology, piety, or creed. All they cared about on both sides is that they would not be wasted. The goal was victory and nothing else mattered. You can be the nicest guy ever, but if you wasted lives for no reason, they hated you. Posted by: Quint at September 15, 2020 04:31 AM (JCBMS) 771

Piracy is a weird thing. I have been listening to the History of Rome podcast (mentioned before ad nauseam.)
The story about Pompey wiping out all the pirates in the Mediterranean inside of three months is nice. The story about Julius Caesar getting captured by Cilician pirates is also fun. They initially asked for 20 talents of gold for him alive. He demanded they raise it to 50, then sent for the money to buy his own ransom. He refused to act like a captive but instead ate meals, joked around, and wrestled with them. He'd joke that when he got free, he would raise a force, return and crucify them all. When the money came and he was freed, He raised a force, returned and crucified them all. Caesar was an odd duck. Posted by: Aetius451AD Work Laptop at September 15, 2020 05:04 AM (cI3Q7) 777

I know it is stupid overall but isn't it kind of messed up that "Hispanic Heritage month" starts in the middle of the month? I mean sure black history is the shortest month of the year but it's the whole month. Hispanic Heritage will get dropped at the beginning of October for all the pink shit.

There are some politicians who said that they would be hesitant to take a china-coof vaccine this year, on the idea that it was rushed. It seems foolish to take vaccine for a disease with symptoms so mild in healthy people under 60 that I couldn't tell you whether I've gotten it or not.
But some of them are going to say, in the spring, that Trump didn't get the vaccine out soon enough. This seems inevitable to me. Posted by: BourbonChicken at September 15, 2020 06:34 AM (LxTcq) 804

Since we have put our move on hold indefinitely due to the covid madness we went exploring refinancing options for our current mortgage.
Was on the phone with NFCU last night and they offered us a rate of 1.87% for a 15 year refi. I was stunned and the lady on the phone said "I can't believe I am going to say this" before she quoted us that rate. She said in the 20+ years she has been working as a mortgage counselor for NFCU she has never offered anyone a rate that low. We are starting the paperwork today.
