Re-Education Camp Cafe: Musical Pets Edition
Old vid, but new to me: Kitty-cat sings (parts of) "Old McDonald Had a Farm."
Misanthropic Human posted this on Saturday: Doggie plays the kick-drum on Back in Black.More of Maple playing percussion on various songs. And more. This dog has perfect time. The best musical pet: Buddy Mercury. Talkative cat. Chihuahua puppy versus bulldog. Raccoon eats grapes from a plastic container, then, when they're gone, hands the container back to its owner, probably hoping for seconds.

Give it some thought though. Whoever this supposed Gope official is, what if they feared a Trump victory would result in them losing whatever Deep State job they hold, and given these grifters are basically without any use outside of DC, their kids might starve to death, if they aren't sucking off the government teet.
So in a convoluted way, I rate it as true.

Essentially everything Biden/Harris/Elites/CCP are demanding on the national front has been proposed by the Newsome administration.
Open borders, universal income, ginormic unions, heavily taxing citizens who actually work, free health care for illegals.
And Gavin is leading the crew, right over the cliff.
This is good news for a rational America, this leftist is crumbling. Only a start, but a trend has to start somewhere.

To ask the question, is to know the answer.
But the rain has been back now and the main roads are bare and wet again.
Unlike the eastern seaboard or the midwest, snow is so uncommon, there are no guys with plows on their 4x4 trucks to clear roads. Makes a big difference. Plus, way too many stupid, arrogant, untrained to drive in bad weather drivers.

Your mom probably quilted them by hand. My wife gets hers quilted by a friend who has a long arm quilting machine. It's costly, depending on the size of the quilt. I think the largest cost her about $300 bucks to have it quilted.

Of course all that will be moot, with 22M new "citizens" who will be a robot voting bloc like black Americans have been for decades.

He said there are more trained repair people on Generacs, and the parts are everywhere.

the most aggravating part of these stories? These "inspectors" could sit in a car and do nothing, or, visit a brewery, chat with the owner, kill the whole day, and they'd still keep their job.

Ma'am, I know you do not mean it this way, but I think millions who died at the hands of totalitarian evil in the 20th century would disagree with you. 20 million for Stalin. 60 Million for Mao's Cultural Revolution. The fairly small 1.5 to 2 million in Cambodia.
When you refuse to even talk about something or use it as a warning or even see the similarities to something you see going on in the present day, all you do is make it a bit more likely that it will happen again. Because this was not a singular event where the Jews were the ultimate good and the Germans were the ultimate evil: this was ONE GROUP of people who had so otherized another, different GROUP of people, that they no longer saw the value to their lives.

Add-in a bazillion small electric heaters used to keep people's feet or pets warm
Posted by: Gref at February 15, 2021 08:47 PM (AMIL/)

A couple of weeks ago, the Seattle city council voted to ban natural gas or oil heating systems from all new construction, joining Berkeley, California in stopping the most efficient, cost effective way to heat homes and apartments known to be available.
Only electric heat and hot water will be allowed.
In the early 60's in WA state electricity was pushed hard, because of massively cheap hydropower mostly from the Columbia River dams.
But builders knew how inefficient it was compared to the fossil fuel of the time, heating oil. Then in the '70's, natural gas lines started to be built in new home areas, and it took off as the primary source of heat in homes.
Today's left chooses inferior solutions, and forces them on everyone. Because they can. Their false political/scientific views are their religion.

I think the Holocaust is a unique event by the gradual, systematic, organized progression of dehumanization, started by the Nazis and taken up by almost every institution, spoken by almost every voice at every level and encouraged, and the systematic ratcheting up of brutality and ruthlessness at every step.
I think that is what makes it uniquely horrible...and that's why refusing to consider that same dynamic could be at work again is so very shortsighted and dangerous. Equally dangerous is refusing to entertain the idea that such an evil dynamic could be restricted only to Germans against Jews (although Jews have certainly suffered in the past and are suffering now).

I was watching Portland news this morning. They showed a guy from an apartment complex, where the car port had come down on the cars due to snow plus ice. The guy was unhappy that no one had done anything about it. he was a fairly young guy and didn't look like there was anything physically wrong with him. Couldn't figure out why he didn't clear the snow off the carport or at least move his car out from under it.

Well, that's what I thought too and then a couple of engineers in the family said that there was about 17% wind power and not all of that is used in the winter and half of that is frozen up now.
These engineers hate wind and think it's not economically efficient.
Every power plant in the state of Texas is on right now, which normally they are not. Building another power plant costs money and that would increase the cost of electricity in this state.

The wife and I plus one granddaughter lived in a 35 foot travel trailer full time for about 5 years. You really gotta love someone to live like that. We had an agreement which ever one survived got to keep the trailer.

This house, some 4,000 ft, with full walkout basement (so 6,000 ft) uses less energy than that trailer.
Even so, we need the utils. We could maybe go one or two weeks without them, but losing natural gas would crash our plan.

In my neck of the woods it's parts of Katy, Texas and Houston. My parents live in the Memorial area in Houston and their power is out. They are staying with my brother who also lives in the Memorial area, but further East and his power is on.
I am on the outskirts of Houston in Richmond and my power is on for now. Not sure what's going to happen tonight.
My landscaping is going to cost a fortune after this is over with.

Theory is good, practice is better.
If you really want some practical preparation you and a friend/family could try renting an off the grid cabin for a week. Getting the supply needs ready would be beneficial and you'd learn fast what is and isn't a necessity by the end of the week.

The Donner Party lost a lot of time going thru northeast Utah, to the Great Salt Lake. They to cut trail through dense forest, up and down many ridges, and creating bypasses for canyons and other terrain that was simply impassable for wagons. Reading about their travel across Utah and Nevada is a revelation about human and animal strength and endurance.

Sure you can. Tell him you need him at the capital to receive a state level public service award. Make one up, he's the first to get it. When he shows up, arrest him on some trumped up process bullshit and lock him away in a small town lockup, waay away from federal access.

yes, IIRC quite a bit longer. Stabilizer must be added to refined gasoline to keep it from breaking down.
Have you ever tried to start a small gas engine after stowing it away for the winter? Engine runs like crap with the old fuel.
And remember, you can usually buy 100% gasoline, without ethanol, in most areas. Marine fuel on Puget Sound is all ethanol-free, which is one reason why it costs more.

We are fortunate, we live in ND and far from most conveniences, so hardly anyone would come here by choice if it all goes sideways.
It may suck to have exactly the winter conditions being experienced down south right now for 5-6 months of the year, but, it prepares a person for most any situation. (except extreme long lasting heat)

Good advice. In the Midwest, it's the redhandles. Usually premium. NEVER run a 2-cycle engine on ethanol gas!
Only run cars or trucks that are made for it.
Our small engine mechanic tells us over and over that 95% of the problems he sees are ethanol fuel related. So, even in lawnmowers.

I see by the pie chart at the top of the page that your wind "generation capacity" is 10%!
And the chart that shows what wind has actually generated sits around zero for most of the past week, with a half-day spike up to a few percent... wind is actually above the "nuclear" line (4.3%) for a solid 3 or 4 hours... that's... really something. But not something that heats houses.

I'm an Eagle Scout and all our leaders and dads were WWII or Korea vets. That was good training.
Mrs. Texan and I have enough food for months, radios and lights that can run via a hand crank or solar, and a fireplace.
We have absolutely nothing to complain about but I am concerned about the many who aren't as well-prepared or trained. Most of the younger folk are pretty much helpless.

So, cheap syrup is thin and not very flavorful. You can take silver maple trees sap, boil it down heavy, and it will be sweeter and better than sugar maple tree sap boiled lightly.

Alright, dammit. Delivery has become completely insane. Virtually anyone you call these days has "delivery" listed on their Google business. But they don't really mean it. Most places have shifted over to the "UberEats/GrubHub/Postmates" model. That is far from the "delivery" I consider to be actual delivery.
For one thing, cash is not an option, and I like cash. For another, these services, knowing they have America over a barrel in this Great Enstupiding caused by the Big Bad Sniffles, have jacked up their rates to a truly ludicrous degree. I can count on a delivery from one of these companies costing nearly as much, if not more, than the meal itself.
Gone are the times, not so long ago, when even in my bumpkin town, I could just *call* a guy at some building where they cook food, and he'd put the food another guy's car, and that guy would drive it to myself in exchange for a nice tip. That's gone.

You asked for reasons, I give you Mitch McConnell. Basically the Chamber of Commerce cash and a few wealthy donors are propping up the gas bags and they sell out for future prizes.
Mitch has been controlling the Senate candidates with cash and outside pacs since he became minority leader.
He though has basically neutered himself by essentially killing small contributors to the party and the corporate types are just dying to pay sweet contributions to the Dems only and his buddy Donahue is out at Chamber of Commerce.
If Trump starts his own small donor superpac and doesn't share the lists with others, he can shove it right up Mitch's butt and get candidates that Mitch has no say so or hold over. Same as in House and McCarthy is in a much weaker position as minority leader in House doesn't raise much money.
The best thing that conservatives can do is go outside the party organizations to create new funding for good candidates but avoiding the hucksters and grifters that took over the Tea Party is imperative so a strong legal team needs to file complaints, criminal referrals, and other such to get rid of these.
