Top Story
- What happens to TikTok? (The Verge)
The author of this article is either delusional or drunk, but in any case, the answer is it dies and is forgotten within a week.
Tech News
- MongoDB CEO Dev Ittycheria talks AI hype and database evolution. (Tech Crunch)
To clarify: He says that AI is mostly hype:"My life has not been transformed by AI," he said. "Yes, maybe I can write an email better through all those assistants, but it's not fundamentally transformed my life. Whereas the internet has completely transformed my life."
In fact, most of what he says here is refreshingly sensible:"There's probably like 17 different types of databases, and probably about 300 vendors," Ittycheria said. "There's no customer on this planet that wants to have 17 different databases. The complexity that creates, and the cost of learning, supporting and managing those different technologies becomes overwhelming. It also inhibits innovation, because it creates this tax of complexity."
I'm still meh on MongoDB's license structure, but I recognise the necessity to prevent Amazon simply draining their blood and discarding the lifeless husk.
- Huawei's Pura 70 contains SMIC 7nm technology, and also unicorn farts. (The Register)
SMIC doesn't have 7nm technology. It has 14nm with multi-patterning.
- The US is reviewing the risks of China gaining a lead in RISC-V technology. (Reuters)
I'm sure they are, but it's irrelevant. RISC-V is an open standard; anyone can create their own implementations of it.
If you don't like that, build something better yourself.

"The items of RAM and virtual memory are totally different from disk space. RAM is physical hardware inside your computer and installed when buying your system. Virtual memory refers to a memory management technique that is implemented using both hardware and software."
Microsoft and Opera are exactly the combination that can lead to this. Common problem it seems.

"For 32-bit versions of Windows 10, it can only handle up to 4GB of RAM whether you are running Home, Professional or Enterprise edition (usually, you’ll only be able to access around 3.2GB). This is because of memory addressing limitations. And the same situation also happens on Windows 7 32-bit. But with a 64-bit OS, you can have full access to the whole 4GB. Therefore, if you add a new memory or upgrade your RAM in Windows 7 and 10 32-bit, you still cannot use the redundant memory."

Thanks. I've already looked at management and I've seen the system using 4G of the 6G available. That's one reason I'm looking for a new one. The one I'm thinking about getting has 16G RAM and 500G HD. A lot better than the 6G and 64G I have right now.

32^2. It isn't caused by WTF.
I have run Windows 10 and Windows 11 on machines with 4 GB RAM up to 32 GB RAM. In all cases, the machines never shut themselves down randomly and most certtainly not do the Edge browser including my home server which has been on for virtually 7 years straight except for software upgrades. I've have used poorly written software with significant memory leaks or race conditions that chew up the available RAM and even those didn't cause the machine to crash. Far more likely there's a bad bad power supply unit in there or something on the motherboard that's triggering it to shutdown.

Morning, folk! OE, I'm going to ALH when I get to work and post about the Pressbooks and the contest. Pressbooks, as I understand it, creates the ePub when you're ready to publish or export, including exporting to the contest. I think that's why Pressbooks is useful.
It's not hard to use. With no tutorial, on Friday morning I assembled my title page, dedication, and other "front matter," and then the first three chapters of one of my fantasy novels. You can click "Visit book" and see what it would look like on the screen when you're ready.

I'll have to look into it. The only problem I've run into with Opera is a lot of company websites, like credit card accounts don't work well with it. They all seem to want Edge. I have one site that's hard to get into. I don't want to use Edge.

Of course they said it because it's true. You're dealing with the size of the memory space. Which is 32^2. It's called computer. It has nothing to do with poor programming or poor design. Those were the standards at the time which have now changed to 64-bit memory spaces.

"Spotted by NeoWin in the system requirements for the upcoming Windows 10 May 2020 update, Microsoft states that, “Beginning with Windows 10, version 2004, all new Windows 10 systems will be required to use 64-bit builds and Microsoft will no longer release 32-bit builds for OEM distribution.” In other words, any computer you buy in the future that has Windows 10 preloaded will be running the 64-bit version."

Microsoft supports legacy software like nobody else that I can think of. This is driven to a great degree by their The number of major corporations that run their software. Corporations are notorious for not moving forward for a million different reasons. Hence the support for 32-bit software clear up to 2030.

How old is that PC? Going back about a decade Windows was notorious for its sucky sleep mode implementation. The scary one was your damn machine would wake up and nearly set itself on fire and drain the battery for good measure. I use sleep all the time on my Surface Pro 8 and I've never had it not wake up.

It's not as fast to recover as sleep is, but it does retain your state and in my experience it's pretty bug-free.

Ah good old school daze......‘Utterly unprincipled’: Policy created on eve of protest used to make arrests
Since 1969, an IU Bloomington policy has allowed the use of temporary structures in Dunn Meadow without prior approval, forbidding them from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. IU changed the policy to ban the use of structures without prior approval April 24 — a day before the IU Divestment Coalition set up encampments in Dunn Meadow on Thursday. The new policy, which can be viewed under the “Outdoor Spaces” dropdown menu on the Office of Student Life website, forbids the use of permanent or temporary structures without approval by the Office of the Vice Provost for Student Life and University Events. The policy change cited a section of the 1969 policy that suggested the creation of a committee by the Bloomington provost to give “continuing advice on changes of policy” and review denials of permission for “uncarried overnight signs, symbols or structures.” It suggests a small committee for prompt action if review is ever needed.

According to allegations surfacing from a Kentucky bankruptcy court, Jim Biden, the brother of President Joe Biden, is said to have partnered with officials from the Qatari government and with a fund manager who is a relative of the Biden family, with the aim of raising funds for ventures in the U.S. healthcare sector.
The allegations suggest that the fundraising involved two companies, the Platinum Group USA and Obermeyer Engineering Consulting, which were partially owned by members of the Qatari government. Should these allegations be substantiated, they would constitute some of the most direct financial links between a relative of President Biden and a foreign government.
Not surprising.

To be fair, they were battling only after the ones with full circle nose rings and full circle navel rings. Those could be tethered reliably.

Lindemans had betrayed Operation Market Garden, the ambitious and ill-fated Allied airborne mission that dropped thousands of paratroopers into the Nazi-occupied Netherlands, the 80th anniversary of which falls this September. Had it succeeded, it would have kicked open the door to the heart of Germany and brought the conflict to a speedy end. In the event the Allies lost more than 17,000 men in what was to be their final defeat of the war.

Biden's defenders are trying to claim that just because Biden's immediate relatives are being bribed doesn't mean that Joe is being bribed.
Oddly enough, Federal bribery law doesn't make that distinction - of course most government officials being bribed aren't going to be stupid enough to take the money themselves - they are going to use relatives and other people close to them to be the bagmen.
You don't need to show that the official himself was being bribed to convict him under the bribery statutes.

Reno, NV & Samoa* each have a population of appx 250,000.
7% of all NFL players were either born in Samoa or are of Samoan descent. That's pretty amazing! BYU gets an assist for this, because a lot of Samoans enter the NFL via BYU.
I researched this (an opportunity for a rare photo!) because the Chefs (not a typo) just drafted one Kingsley Suamataia, a sizable lad (350 lbs) out of... BYU.
And just when I'd FINALLY mastered the spelling & pronunciation of Tua Tagovailoa.
*aggregating the populations of the nation of Samoa and of American Samoa (a U.S. Territory) = about 250000, in total

That ought to create nightmares for the comptrollers of the airlines. At each airport, there needs to be a substantial pile of cash left in a vault and accessible by a responsible party for as long as there are potential departure flights. The security of this is one thing. The management and accounting for piles of loose cash in the hurried moments of a declaration of a canceled or whatever the heck definition of "substantial" is.
Not having guns at hand is going to be a problem for whoever is walking around with tens of thousands of dollars of loose bills in a room full of hundred of people, all with different reimbursements based on seating class, discounts, third party payers, corporate, mileage credits, layover segment value, aggregators and package prices.
This is totally bat scat insane regulations.

There's a truly different "reimagining" of "Awakenings" just begging to be made if only Hollywood would open their eyes to it.

The Cambridge Five in the end were the harbingers of a dedicated movement by some academics who were not actually upper-class to obliterate the British Empire.
The last remnants of Sidney Reilly's network of British/Soviet sources tried warning MI-5 and 6 of Blunt in the 40s and 50s.

She instantly took to it and then proceeded to read as many of them as she could. What I remember mostly is that one day she said "They have taken me a lot of fear of my death, because if death is even remotely like the one depicted in the books, there is nothing to be afraid of".
>And honestly for that I'll always be thankful.

Everything you'd expect to see: green hair; Trigglypuff clones; a lot of screaming Joy Reid wannabes.
A lot of them now want their arrests expunged, because... not helpful to their career aspirations. White shoe law firms, etc. might not understand.

I know you may get tired of this but I obtained my LVN license in 1990. It was early enough to watch the insertion of HMO's into the health care system a few years later and I was perplexed by the premise that doctors of the HMO's were tasked to "limit" healthcare??? Now fast forward to OBAMACARE and the country rapidly slid from one of the world's BEST healthcare systems to somewhere akin to the Best healthcare in places like...Oh Canada...or England...soon to be level with some South American Countries if FJB has his (DAMN DAMN) I keep forgetting this is OBAMA'S 3RD TERM!!!

Just once, just ONE time, I'd like to see a family member stand up and say "Yeah, we knew he was trouble and that he was going to end up dead or in prison by the time he was 20, but he was ours and we loved him." I could respect that.

Shoes that don't thug. It would not surprise me to learn that the three thugs deliberately picked up a non-thug in order to get him arrested when they all were, just to turn him.
Not saying that's what happened here, but i would not rule it tight out,

No, that's not true nor really fair. The House impeached Mayorkas. But Chuck the Schmuck won't hold a Senate trial (even if a foregone conclusion with the Dems owning the Senate) ignoring the Senate's Constitutional duty to hold an impeachment trial after being presented with the House's articles of impeachment, and there were two articles.
Bride of Chucky Schumer is playing power politics over the Constitution. I hate my asshoe Senator. Well, both of them, actually, him and Kirsten Jellybrain.
Now the impeachment of Biden is trickier, but not because of the election season. Who really wants Kamalalaladingdong becoming President, even if only until next January?

You want to see a nightmare unfolding watch the stuff on Sean Puff Diddy Combs. Jules has been following it lately and it's crazy.
To go to the subject of your post, it seems like he might have been sexually abused by his father, whom I think died when he was young.
But like a lot of victims of sexual abuse he proceeded to become an abuser of young women and men. Many including Usher and Justin Bieber. Crazy stuff I'd rather not know but that is what J has been following lately.
It's a whole different culture and very bizarre.

I was quite happy too - his successor is almost everything bad about medical schools today. The sort that tells a patient that an effective medication that they've been taking for a while is something he's not comfortable with prescribing - merely because of some phantom fear of liability, not from any legitimate medical concern. That, and nothing close to a bedside manner - the guy is practically terrified of seeing a patient and elects to let his nursing staff do most of the real work.

We're more than halfway through the story to find that the chase exceeded 110 mph, with no editorial comment about danger to other cars and pedestrians in their path.
Another few sentences to point out that SUV was stolen.
The last sentence mentions that 3 had active warrants and 2 were wearing ankle monitors.

There is an interesting story about Stevie Wonder, though. Shaquille O'Neal swore that he got into an elevator, unannounced, with Stevie Wonder. The two had never met, and Shaquille hadn't said anything when Stevie said, "Hello, Shaq." Shaq said he wasn't going to speculate on what that might have meant, but he did so it was something that he found unusual and hard-to-explain..
Flip side of this, the original Ole Miss mascot, Colonel Rebel, was based on a die-hard black fan of the Rebels who never missed a game. James "Blind Jim" Ivy dressed in the style associated with Colonel Reb, and had the same moustache, and it's believed that the mythic Colonel was inspired by and created as a "white-washed" version of James Ivy. A devoted fan of Ole Miss football, who was blind, not only enjoyed the games whole-heartedly and became its literal image.

The Stevie Wonder thing is easy. He's likely not 100% blind. So when you live in the same building as Shaq and this giant shadow gets into the elevator with you probably bigger than any other shadow of a person you've seen, it's probably Shaq.

Hi folks - just a quick PSA. If you write for info about the MoMe, please give us a few words in the body of the email just so I know you are a Moron and not a spammer (moron). I do receive spam on this email account because it's sitting right here in my nic, so that's why I'm asking. I don't want to give our details to a spammer.

A: Why I'm glad you asked! There are in fact TWO things to mention for 2024. First, we are again having a pre-party get-together the afternoon/evening before the main event. Details at the registration site. Dos, we are again offering a NoVAMoMe commemorative mug for 2024 available only to NoVAMoMe participants! We sincerely hope you can join the festivities. I promise you this event is as laid back and non-anxiety inducing as humanly possible, and nothing makes me happier than to meet new people who have been reluctant to join in the past. If sitting on the sidelines and just observing is your thing, you can do just that with zero pressure from anyone. I hope some of the past NoVAMoMe participants will jump in and share their thoughts on the event to inspire the scairdy-cat lurkers out there to throw caution to the wind and sign up! That's it, people. Email WeaselBell Productions today!
Range Report
First up our pal Blake shares the details of a competition range trip!
There are targets out there somewhere!
Saturday, March 23, I made it to my second silhouette match. But, the day before, I hit the range to check the zero stop I'd recently set up on my scope and practice that which Weaselsan Gunsei mentioned the previous week: fundamentals. (zero stop was spot on) The first couple of shots were just bad, on my part, then I finally got settled in and put three shots in two holes. After that, I lost it for a shot, put one just high and left, settled back in and put another shot touching the first three. From there, I moved to some different ammo and put three shots in basically two holes, show in the upper left target. (the ammo is some custom ammo I purchased for use in our local 1,000 yard match. I think it passes muster) Now, on to the silhouette match: I first shot this match 3 months ago or so and didn't do all that well, which is to be expected. The match consists of 5 half size silhouettes at 200. 300, 400 and 500 meters for a total of 20 possible points. These are not big targets. The turkeys at 200 meters, are maybe 6" tall x 4" wide. The rams, at 500 meters are 6" tall but a bit wider, maybe 10". And it's not enough to just hit a target. The target needs to be knocked completely off the rail they are standing on. One thing I did have in my favor was my range book. In the course of my first match I noted the appropriate MOA elevation adjustment for each distance, which turned out to be spot on. Anyway, after everything was said and done, I went 5 for 5 and 200 and 400 meters, 4 for 5 at 500 meters. Unfortunately, 300 meters had me for lunch and I only got 2 out of 5. Drat. One thing which caught be off guard was my new bipod. It turns out it was a bit taller than the previous one I had and my rear bag couldn't make up the height enough to bring the muzzle down on to the target. Now, I could have adjusted by moving the legs on the bipod to the forward 45 degree angle, but, I decided against it because I've never used or practiced with that set up. Instead, I used my hand on the bag to get the rifle high enough to be on target. Which was another lesson learned and necessitates further practice trips to the range.This, people, is how you become a better shooter. Very nicely done Blake!Darn.

That always makes me wonder if it is going to be a difficult cigar to smoke, hard to draw and hard to keep lit. Not the case here. The Classic has an Ecuadoran Sumatra wrapper, a Nicaraguan binder plus a Dominican/Nicaraguan filler. Their web site calls this a medium bodied cigar and I concur. I found it to be a pleasant smoke with a spicy start followed by flavors of chocolate and leather. The middle third provided a very smooth and relaxing tobacco flavor. The cedar finish is noteworthy and very pleasant. Cigar Aficionado gives it a very respectable 92 rating. I liked this cigar. Nothing fancy, nothing outrageous. Just a good peasant smoke and depending on where you shop, a reasonable value.Excellent, Diogenes! Thank you very mucho!

Nicks Cigar World New! A note about sources. The brick & mortar/online divide exists with cigars, as with guns, and most consumer products, with respect to price. As with guns - since both are "persecuted industries", basically - I make a conscious effort to source at least some of my cigars from my local store(s). It's a small thing, but the brick & mortar segment for both guns and tobacco are precious, and worth supporting where you can. And if you're lucky enough to have a good cigar store/lounge available, they're often a good social event with many dangerous people of the sort who own scary gunz, or read smart military blogs like this one. -rhomboid Anyone have others to include? Perhaps a small local roller who makes a cigar you like? Send me your recommendation and a link to the site!

Thanks for the gun thread. I ran across an oddity recently.
The Seattle cops had done a drug bust, for a change. Weapons seized included a, "Bow Gun". Curious, I looked into this thing since it wasn't a crossbow. It's an air rifle that propels a crossbow bolt. Not cheap either. The bolts are hollow and you select the tip for it yourself. Amazon sells them as does Cabela's on line. The usually well versed guys at my local one had never heard of these things.
Has anyone encountered one of these in the wild?

I found it! The node for my reload of .308, that is.
A respectable .850 from a gas gun. Loads on either side were 1.2 and 1.4”
Weird thing is the bad loads were single digit standard deviation and teens for extreme spread.
The magic load was 24 SD and 36 ES.

I did my homework.
Since I live and work in a blue city, I am constantly aware of people around me. When I drive, I am looking for anything unusual. I would NEVER drive in some areas of town.
May 1st is MayDay, usually open season for disrupting traffic downtown. Unfortunately, it's also my day to work at our northern location, forcing me to drive through the city. Getting to work will not be an issue. Getting home makes me nervous.
I am not afraid to push someone out of my way, with my car, who is trying to make me stop. I will not be bullied.

58 I really need to comment on this particular group of morons. I had never fired a gub in my life, and when we finally got out of LA County, CA I swore I would learn how to. The people I have met have been so very generous with their time, experience, advice, and equipment. And then there are those who will take the time to seriously meet you where you are at in your journey...they listen to what you say, and when you express having a problem with something, will stop you, explore that, and help you find a solution. They will realize when you are attempting something for the first time that a verbal explanation may not be enough, and provide you a visual learning example. Who will center your focus on what is important and what is not. For this, and for so much more, mere words of thanks seem insufficient. But I am not a person who forgets kindness, and will readily pay it back one day

I am in the same situation the nurse ratched is in, work in a large BLUE city (NYC) but live in one of the safer boroughs.
I am required to go into the office 3 days a week. When I do I am always keeping my head on a swivel. And thankfully, I have not taken the subway for any reason for quite a few years. Want to keep that trend going
It is possible for me to get a conceal carry thanks to NYSRPC vs Bruen, but in NYC one of the things they want now is all my social media ID's. I will never give government permission to poke around in my postings.

If your prime motivation for becoming a firearm owner is to use one for self defense, I encourage you to also take your EMPTY pistol and practice around the corners and hallways in your home leading to the front door. Or back door. Practice going around a corner and raising your firearm. Is there a kitchen island you can scoot around? How about stairs?
I have also practiced at the range in low light. Meaning, I don't turn on the light at the station and I wear sunglasses. I can still see, of course, but low light is something to adjust to.

So someone (who will gratefully remain unnamed) told me about their online gun shop that had some P320 mags for half price. Sure enough it was a deal.
Another funny thing that Sig has done with the P320 line - they have a zillion models to appeal to whatever you want - and they have ingeniously made two different sorts of magazines - one is compatible with one type of grip module, and one is compatible with a different type of grip module (one mag has a flat floorplate, one has a floorplate with "wings"). My P320 has the wing type. Guess what the half price mags did not have?
That's on me - BUT life is not all bad. I wanted a flared magwell for the P320 because it is my "competition" gun and its just as expensive to put a flared magwell on it as it is to put a Wilson Combat grip module on. So I got the new grip module (cause Wilson Combat!) and it works with the half -price Legion Mags with the flat floorplate. So win-win!

Kind of tired tonight so not sure how long I will stay but wanted again to remind everyone that if you are coming to the NoVaMoMe and want to shoot with the MGC on Sunday, send me an email.
Had a bit of a disappointment yesterday. Blaster was kind enough to install the Holosun on my new Glock48mos. The sight is fantastic and very accurate but the Glock kept stovepiping. No matter what ammo we tried it kept happening. Blaster has been working on it and hopefully will figure out what is wrong but I only got to shoot a few rounds.
The bright spot was a surpressed rifle that Ed brought and was a dream to shoot.
He can give the details as I should probably write stuff down being 29 and all.

Is that being challenged? It certainly should be since the only possible reason for it is to make a subjective judgement of "fitness" which, if I understand correctly, Bruen explicitly forbids.

Perhaps because you've changed the mass of the slide? I would have thought Glock would have made the tolerances wide enough to account for it since it is the MOS model after all. You may need to switch to a lighter recoil spring.

I do not think it is being challenged yet. Remember, NYS went out of its way to not follow the ruling with their updated conceal carry license scheme. Tried to make virtually the entire State a "sensative location"

Posted by: nurse ratched at April 28, 2024 07:49 PM (CPhFx)
Here is what I can see without any disassembly beyond field strip - the extractor which is an itty bitty piece of metal on the breech block is loose. Looking at other Glocks, there is a rod in the slide that pushes against the extractor, I take it that this rod is spring loaded as the extractor has to move to extract. On swa's pistol there is a gap between the rod and the extractor and when the slide is back the extractor moves freely. This is definitely not the way it should be.
I am thinking maybe the rod needs lube (hey this is a family gun thread!) - hoping that it is just that simple. Anyone ever seen this? It is decidedly un-Glocklike.

I have not personally seen that but anything is possible. I would say disassemble the slide (I'm sure there are Youtube vids) check for a broken spring and clean out the hole in the plunger rides in. Put a drop of lube on the plunger when you reassemble. And yes, it is un-Glocklike. If you don't get an easy fix, call their customer support.

Agree. That exact same thing happened with my wife when we got the Glock 42 just as they came out. She was the first to shoot it and was constantly experiencing stovepipes. I thought, OK here we go all of those articles I read about the G42 being garbage were correct.
I loaded two mags and fired them off without a hitch. Once we changed her grip she never had a problem again.

Sharon, that rifle was the B&T SPR 300 PRO. This is an integrally suppressed bolt action rifle chambered in .300 Blackout. B&T claims that when using subsonic ammo, this is the quietest centerfire rifle in the world. Those of us on the outdoor range would agree that if it isn't the quietest, it's right at the top of the heap. At 100 yards, the impacts of the bullets on steel drown out the noise of the shot, which is about the same as a BB gun. If you've got the cash and time for the paperwork for two NFA stamps (SBR and suppressor), this is definitely something worth looking into. I think it's nice for rifle newbies because you don't need hearing protection to shoot the rifle. There's no muzzle flash, and the recoil is very controllable.

It was especially frustrating because this Holoson MRS Carry is made specifically for the G48mos, G43x mos and Hellcat models. Your suggestion did come up and I happen to have a lighter spring because I changed the spring in my old G48. However Blaster thinks he's found an issue unrelated to the sight so still working on it.

I are an engineer but not a gunsmith and its not my gun so I don't want to get too deep into the workings of the gun - if it isn't readily solvable with some lube I recommend swa send it back to Glock.

Except for a relatively limited number of particularly desirable collectables, we are mostly fooling ourselves when we think our guns are "investments." You might consider either selling it person-to-person locally or try Gunbroker.

That lines up with what I saw with the gas patterns on the stove piped casings that I picked up off the ground after you cleared the jam. Shouldn't there be some play in the extractor? It has to grab the cartridge rim, after all. But I'm not convinced that extractor looseness is a good thing.

Thank you, John Cornyn. Per a video I watched (maybe Wm Kirk, the guy in the car video above) one of the things that AFT will use to "presume" that you're a dealer and not just selling off a private collection is if you sell multiple of the same model and caliber of gun. What would you call someone who owns more than one of a particular model of gun? Oh right, a collector.[/c]

I sent them a pic of a gun I'm wanting to sell and they sent me a laughable offer.
I was pretty taken aback by how low their offer was. I get they need to make money off the deal but they low-balled the shiz out of it.
Posted by: AlaBAMA at April 28, 2024 07:55 PM (rJ7Hd)
Negative...They do move a lot of weapons so I would imagine they buy low.
I have used Gunbroker and GunSpot to much success though the years for selling. You can research other sellers and see what they are asking and why and then decide where your weapon fits in in comparison for a selling price.
Here is GunSpot's link...https://gunspot.com/

Yes your observation on the casings was a good one. I can see working the slide that sometimes the extractor sticks out and sometimes it correctly seats. My guess would be that when the extractor sticks out there isn't a good seal on the chamber and that leads to the burn marks on the casing. But when the extractor seats correctly it ejects correctly and no burn marks.
The rod that butts up against the extractor would hold in place all the time and it is not doing that now.

That rule will be put on hold once it appears in the Federal register. GOA has already said they will challenge it and they have a very strong case for it to be over turned based on the heller decision. Historically citizens have never been mandated to *get permission* to sell their personal firearms.

I have a G33 that had the slide milled for an RMR, now the extractor plunger rod is stuck, it won't come out. Since I was cautious using the proper length screw to mount the RMR I suspect either poor milling causing metal burrs or a gob of locktite is stopping the rod from coming out, I can move it back about an 1/8" of an inch, so far the ejector works fine. Anyone have a recommendation to dissolve locktite or otherwise to get the rod out?
Huh. It isn't locktite, but we had to use longer screws on the Holosun because the ones that hold the cover plate on aren't long enough. Maybe related.

I understand that you'll be fortunate to get 50% of a gun's nominal value (Blue Book is the usual standard) when selling it. That's because the middleman buying it has to pay for all their overheads (building, employee wages, utilities, etc.) out of the price they'll sell it for. The $$ you get is what's left over after those fixed costs get covered.

Surplus especially. When something first starts coming in, it is cheap and plentiful and usually the best examples, and just when people start getting interest in buying them, there are no more, so load up if you can afford it.

Not sure about now but back in the day there were a ton of guys getting Class III licenses just so they could buy surplus guns and sell them to their buddies.
That was 40+ years ago when there was surplus stuff advertised all over the place. You could get stuff back then $40-50 cheaper than gun store if you had a Class III and bought in bulk. You could buy a case of surplus SMLE Mark III's cheap and sell them to your buddies.

So I start loosening the screw on the Holosun on the side where the extractor plunger is and when I get past the tension I watch that plunger rod go forward right up against the extractor. Locking the slide back, the extractor is not floppy.
Which is interesting - had I removed the sight and shot it it would have worked perfectly and the sight itself would have looked like the culprit.
Instead, it was me!
DOH! Now to locate the correct length screws in here that will affix the sight in place and NOT pin the extractor plunger down!

The problem with his analysis is that ALL THE ACTIONS leading up to reaching into the car actually lead up to the act of trying to touch your person - in the eyes of a reasonable person in 2024. PERIOD.
But ESPECIALLY when the mob is a terrorist one. If they're chanting for Antifa or Hamas, they are, BY DEFINITION, terrorists. (This conclusion is based on their actions in ALL previous mobs - including use of molotov cocktails, pulling people out of cars to beat them (before 2020, anyone remember a man named Reginald Denny?), even shooting people.)

And nowhere in there does he mention the felony of Illegal Detention. That is a VIOLENT felony. It's the equivalent of KIDNAPPING. At the moment they try to prevent him (specifically - not just some mob of idiots sitting in the road) from going anywhere in a violent fashion, IMO, in most jurisdictions, he is authorized lethal self-defense. Car or gun.
Also, what he neglected to mention is that when the dude was pepper sprayed - on offense, not defensively - he had been assaulted with a deadly weapon. The person who sprayed him had NOT been attacked. Therefore the incapacitation that method causes is a lethal attack, itself. (Read Branca.)
At THAT point, IMO, he is authorized deadly force to escape. The fact there is a vehicle blockade at the other end of that block makes it absolutely true they are attempting to illegally detain him in a violent fashion, and every single person attacking my vehicle is going to suffer violence to their person at that point.

Range report:
Before the focus started, I got to fire MAE's 9mm carbine for a few rounds. Very fun, but I was a bit low at 25 yards. *sigh*
Then focused and did one handed drills, five rounds at a time, right at center mass , left headshots at seven yards.
I shot better left handed than right (I'm left handed but shoot right as I'm right eye dominate). It's a challenge to reload one handed.
I did practice racking a slide one handed at home. No rounds of course. I found the best way for me, if I had shoes on, was to use the grooves in my undersoles to grab the slide from the top.

Most of my experience is with bolt guns. Guys shooting AR platforms are usually not using magazines. Depending on available case volume remaining you might test seating them deeper. It's possible you will find another good harmonic node in there somewhere.

While I agree with you, and Branca and I have had extensive communications I have to admit that like Branca I am troubled at the Apple River trial up in Wisconsin.
Unless the DA and jury were THAT angry at the guy lying initially about the nature of the incident an obvious self-defense stabbing got turned into a murder one conviction.
The evidence, and the testimony should have led to a different outcome, I strongly suspect there is a coordinated attack on the right to self-defense underway by the Soros gang.

In a felony murder state he could and should be charged if anyone were killed in a legal self-defense incident during the commission of the crime.
The riots being essentially "made the new normal" since inauguration 2017 has led to a situation where democrat DAs are making sincere and SERIOUS assertions that some citizens have some "right to crime."

Correct. My friend has been contacted by GOA and they are interested in his case as he's 70 and has been a seller of firearms for over 40 years with a clean record prior to Joe's election.
Also, the ATF has been known to change their forms on a whim, give a 20 minute class to those interested, then expect someone to be squared away on filling out the new adjusted forms. More federal bureaucratic horse shit.

I really think that if a gun was not built to accept a red dot you should not mount one.
Unless you have the skill necessary to cut away the section of the slide where one would put the red dot.
Just my 10 cents worth ( adjusted for Bidenomics)
Posted by: Scuba Dude
Not the only concern, semi autos are built around specific recoil springs and slide weight for whatever cartridge bullet and powder combo it was designed for. (Foreign 9mm are often designed around the 9 mm NATO load which is a fairly warm 124 gr load). Domestic wondernines from the likes of Smith for a long while were designed around the 115 gr. Most domestic and foreign will happily feed 147 gr.
When you monkey though with the slide weight by removing part of the metal to put red dots on, it will change the recoil impulse unpredictably.
Long and short, put red dots on newish firearms where the work is already done by the mfg. for maximum reliability.

BTW, I forgot one important piece - I adjusted the gas block finally. The result was very good. The brass went to about 3:30, did not get dinged and was very consistent.

My experience is based on one Dallas ATF agent that was returning my stolen property. He said that they have so many complaints about FFL dealers that they don't have to go looking for anything. They have more work just following up complaints than they can handle.
Granted that was one ATF agents word to me and I am in no way defending the agency and I do not know if it is true or not. Just putting my personal experience out there.

It isn't. Extractor springs have to be very strong which is often why it is a pita to remove them and you always use safety glasses when doing so.
On occasion, they can break on removal and that spring strength can propel the pieces at a mite high velocity.

As I get older, I get more crotchity and follow the KISS standard on firearms for serious social work occasions. It is generally easier to work with what the manufacturer did than to go off on adding accessories. That is often how a nice, boring, reliable Glock turns into a malfunction junction.
Fitting parts is finicky and adapting things like screws etc. for accessories are often rather nightmarish. This is even more true when dealing with antiques with parts that can be made of unobtanium.
If you must alter a firearm to make it yours, always work on the least expensive and easily obtained part--not something like a revolver frame or slide/bolt/receiver. Then if you bugger it up, you can get a replacement easily.

I was very impressed with Steck, but have not met Geoff yet.

If we can get Ms PI to like it, THEN we can get some serious technical training. (I also need that. I am pretty sure I am the worst pistol shot of anyone on the gub thread ... including the people that don't shoot!)

Depending on where you live, the boys in blue often view confiscated firearms as their toys and perks of the job and sometimes it takes lots of time and effort up to hiring an attorney to get it back.
Other times, they are indifferent to storage and you get one back that is filthy, rusted, and engraved all over with id marks if the item was seized for a case.
Moral is, don't use expensive firearms that you cannot afford to replace for serious social work purposes.

======
Criminal law is state specific and you not only have to know the statute but the caselaw which can get a bit problematic. Also very useful to know the jury instructions for that particular jurisdiction as that is what the jury will hear.
If you can still find it, Mitch Vilos and his son produced a 50 state summary of the statute, caselaw, and the jury instructions (Self Defense Law for the 50 States) on self defense and that is well worth perusing as the author is a well known Utah Attorney focusing on trial law and a member/attorney of the Armed Citizens Legal Defense Network. Also has about six editions on his Utah specific guide to firearm laws of that state.

Take some nail polish or liquid paper and put that across the screw and the surrounding retainer. Easy to tell if the screw has moved. I use that for technique for gas block retaining screws, etc. Both nail polish and liquid paper stick well and are easy to remove if you need to.
Nail polish also works as a quasi easy to remove threadlocker if you don't have purple loctite or its variant around.

It is always a good idea to study the states from their own point of view, and to buy a self-defense experienced lawyers' briefing on how the area DAs and local culture approach the matter.
There is a wide valley in the understanding of self-defense theory as a whole but also the particulars of the body of law's interpretations between for example Ohio (where I was raised, and worked in protection) and here in Louisiana where I now live and do contractor work not related to personal protection.
Ohio because of case law had to make tacit deep changes to the notion of "duty to retreat" and wound up defining "stand your ground" theory much more explicitly than Louisiana had to.
Turns out that is because in Louisiana damn near universally it is an understood that nobody has a duty to retreat in their home, nor their vehicle and so there was no schizoid case law (other than NOLA which may as well be its own state in some ways) so the new law was much more linear and direct on constitutional carry and SYG.

But I don't think there is that big a difference at least performance wise in a $400ish AR15 and one at $1500.
James at TFP TV likes to rip on PSA but he did a test with a $400ish PSA rifle and one of his preferred Gucci guns and he was mad that he got better groups with the PSA....
Message: don't let price keep you from owning an AR15.

I view self defense weapons as tools---they get scuffed up, etc. and quite often I buy them used cop guns for the purpose as they are already broken in and another scratch or two or a worn finish doesn't cause anguish over a new scratch.

The AR-10 was probably the best battle rifle NATO had so of course it was never widely adopted....
the ram line on the recoil impulse makes it without a doubt the smoothest aiming and maintaining 7.62*51 system we had, very amenable to walking fire for suppression as well.
Remember the trials where it lost to the M-14 were set up to have one platform replace the Garand AND the BAR....
the AR-10 is as good a walking weapon as the BAR.

I find it fascinating that States have their own 2 Amendment laws when none are allowed for in the Constitution - and most criminal statutes are governed by the bill of rights as well, not by the political whims of state politicians. These aren't just things that individual state legislatures can ignore...but they do apparently.
The point of joining these United States, was that the laws and rights of citizens of that union were going to be the same in, say, New York, as they are in Utah or So. Carolina. The reason for that was so a lawyer from Kentucky would also have a clue what was legal in NY or CA. The fact that this is not the case is what is wrong with the judicial procedures that differ from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.

Got to get back up to speed at the range first with carry weapons . I have lots of medical issues that would bore most folks to tears when discussing them but it makes recoil management difficult and peripheral neuropathy caused by inflammatory arthritis leads me to have heavy but smooth triggers as a result. Also use a crush grip as well due to neuropathy. You sacrifice bleeding edge accuracy but right now, reloading with speedloaders in a revolver is a no go so semi auto it is.
I literally cannot 'feel' a light trigger anymore which makes any glass break type triggers dangerous to me for carry.

That was my first thought. But then you have to take it out, file it a bit, put it back in, run the slide, then take it out again, file it a bit more, put it back in, run the slide....
Better to look for screws, so you just have to take it out, put in the new screw, run the slide, take that screw out, put a new one in, run the slide....
And, yeah, I probably would have used Loctite on just that screw, too.

I did the file and test, file and test method and y'all fixed it.
I was first tempted to take a dremel to the screw but the margin is so narrow here on the correct length that I just took a hand file to it. A few cycles of file and test and it is the correct length to hold down the sight and clear the extractor plunger.

Of course you are correct. But my problem was even more basic. The pistol behaved fine, but the eye-to-red-dot connection simply isn't intuitive for me, so I have to take attention away from other stuff to make it work. And if trigger discipline is one of those things? Then I should step back and reevaluate.

Comes about because of federalism. And btw, the Bill of Rights actually protects these state powers to determine their own criminal laws via the Tenth Amendment.
What I get pissed off about is that big cities are suddenly not even following state law but inventing their own via selective prosecutions for people they want to punish and waving off prosecutions for those that politically the Dems do not want to punish like ordinary street criminals and illegals.
Vicinage is about the jury--not the prosecutor and leads directly to due process problems for individuals that are being martyred in urban districts because it is useful to the Dems. Laws are not being applied equally to similarly situated individuals.

I think you are one of the few people here that shoots with a laser.
I have bad eyes and the laser makes it very easy to put the muzzle on the target. However, it is MUCH easier for me to create a stable shooting platform holding the gun at mid-chest rather than as high as my eye line.
Do you shoot the same (posture and hand position) with the laser as you do with sights?

GWB, it is not just the weight but the distribution of that red dot and its mount's weight on the slide that can cause issues and even air resistance which makes it a problem that I would not want to mess around with on a firearm not designed for a red dot in the first place.
For us normal folks, you have to engage in trial and error playing with ammo loads and recoil springs to compensate for reliable operation.
I don't trust a pistol that I have to baby for serious defense work and I am willing to trade some degree of accuracy for dead solid reliability.
To me, match pistols and match barrels are for ranges and shooting competitions--not for when life and death is on the line. Some folks are willing to take that risk which is fine for them.
Posted by: whig at April 28, 2024 10:03 PM (tHT/j)
Oh hell...I LOVE red dots on carbines and rifles! For me it is effortless to find the dot as I shoulder the weapon. I think they are perfect for self defense applications for long arms. I even have one on a Mossberg 590, and it's great!

You are using the laser as an index which is what lasers were designed to do. They quite literally shine in application when a person is using non-standard firing positions where being able to line up the eyes and the front sight even for a 'flash' is not possible.
Just make sure though you know what the laser is zeroed for and the over under at different distances is with self defense ammo.
They also work great as a diagnostic for dry firing if all the usual precautions are followed for dry firing.

Thanks for that advice!
Do you ever shoot with a laser considering you have some relevant medical issues?
I have a pretty severe central tremor. The laser is dancing on the target at the range! It is also dancing on the wall when I do dry fire.
I want to bring my pistol to the MoMe to observe the laser movement of good shooters prior to them even initiating the trigger squeeze.

I have the exact opposite experience. With the gun at mid-chest my eyes are scanning a large area around and behind the target.
When using the front sight, I certainly become somewhat tunnel-visioned as I hyperfocus to keep the sight on the target.
I am afraid to practice too much on my own, because I have quite the flare for developing bad habits that better athletes readily avoid.

I hate these sorts of articles. Now get out of my kitchen! [Hat Tip: Misanthropic Humanitarian]
Good butter, and Flap Meat...whatever the hell that is...just send it, Broccolini that isn't $6/bunch, garlic...lots of garlic!, well-marbled hanger steaks and elk chops to: cbd dot aoshq at gmail dot com. Who are those poor deluded souls who shake their Manhattans? These are the same people who drink fine bourbon with coke, and probably shake red wine with ice too. However, I will give dispensation to those who use maple syrup on Brussels Sprouts! I tried that and it worked nicely. I still prefer Agave, but still... And yes, I used to demand fancy bourbon, but let's face it, $1,200 for a bottle of bourbon is just stupid, insulting, and a ghastly affront to most people's palates and wallets. I think the sweet spot is $40-$60 for excellent and interesting bottles, and bumping that to $100 gets you an incremental improvement in quality, but nothing mind-blowing. More than that and I think you are paying for hype and rarity, which may look good in your liquor cabinet, but doesn't translate to more quality in the bottle.

As I mentioned a few weeks ago, plant-based ice cream has been losing space to sorbets at the grocery. At my favorite sorbet brand, Talenti, brought back their strawberry (without hibiscus, but I'm okay with that) sorbet, and I got it and it was wonderful.
Well, more flavors were released - lemon and coffee sorbetto. So, I checked the coffee label and this new version had removed the almonds for more egg (only allergen in it now), but it was still (almost) all real food (2 "gums", but whatever). I bring it home and try it. That dang cold brew coffee sorbetto is the best iced dessert I've had since allergies.
The youngest son tried it. He now says it's his favorite ice cream (and he eats a lot of dairy ones). Now, everyone here is obsessed with trying to figure out how to make it with my ice cream maker. And I just want the danged stuff to go on sale again, b/c it's a treat, not a necessity, so I have price limits...although I see a Mother's Day present in my future.
PS - Please tell me Talenti isn't woke...or don't, and I'll live in ignorance...

I just took son #1 out for brunch to our Mexican fusion joint, Cactus.
The Bloody Maria was awesome as was the Mexican coffee.
We both had a brisket Benedict. The biscuit was green chile and the brisket was really tasty. Poached eggs perfect and topped with a green chili hollandaise. The potatoes also had some roasted chilis.
Yummy!

So tonight is my fakeout Safeway meatball subs with the works with roasted harissa carrots and a canteloupe, kiwi and berry salad.
Tomorrow is mussels arribiata over pasta (with the youngest using leftover meatballs b/c he hates mussels).
Tuesday is homemade pizza b/c then I'll eat the leftover mussels.
And then, Aldi's beef birria tacos with traditional toppings are Wednesday. No idea what part of the Mexican above this fits in (1, 2, oe 3), but it's Aldi's, so I'm thinking 3. It is really good!

That photo at the top looks like the food of my childhood. In fact, I've been eating Tex-Mex since I was in utero. We routinely make breakfast tacos, fajitas, crispy and soft tacos at home I can make excellent guacamole, carne guisada, and chiles rellenos but usually don't bother. But I can't quite get the hang of traditional chile con carne cheese enchiladas.

Was it a chain? Something you might find in a mall? There was an outlet that served big ones, and they wrapped it in aluminum foil. I thought about that place a couple of years ago, but can't remember the name. They had refried beans, spanish rice, and the meat in it.

Huh.
There's lots of different regions in Mexico, so you can get very different styles of cooking with different levels of Spiciness depending on where you are and who's doing the cooking.
The best Mexican food cookbooks in the US are those by Diana Kennedy.
She does a great job presenting recipes from different regions by mostly homecooks. Great stuff.
A lot of Mexican food, like say the moles, are labor intensive, but not all of the recipes are.
This is one set of cookbooks that have never led me astray. Everything I've tried in them is great and I have to say, never been bland.
Give them a whirl.

When I go out (once every year?) to a Mexican place for my kids, I tend to get the appetizer ceviche as my meal. It also helps that it tends to be the allergy safest order (now, quality of the fish???)...

I had shrimp whilst riding in the boat from which they were caught off the coast of Veracruz. Needless to say, I've never had other shrimp that came even remotely close.

My dad, his dad and I did nearly the same thing while we were in Veracruz in 1983. But it was one of the town food vendors rather than on the boat. Combine that with a 7% beer and we were doing pretty fine.

Yes, the moles (mex food, not the critters) are good. Quite a few different types.
Posted by: jim (in Kalifornia) at April 28, 2024 04:26 PM (ynpvh)
This place, that is what they had on the menu, didn't last long enough. Whole reef fish, broiled and balanced on its belly like it was swimming through a platter of sides. Some gumbo / seafood boil with critters hanging over the side of the big bowl like they were trying to escape. The usual burreto / enchiladas too but with wholey different seasoning and sauces.
Not your taco bell or beach cliche fish tacos.
IOW, it was really good. Why not, Mexico has a rediculous long shore line. They do seafood as good as anybody, or better.
But, not being at all like taco hell so too wierd for the locals and it only lasted a couple of years.

It's basically a two day ferment bread baked in a hot dutch oven with plenty of steam added. The key issue that she was having was she wasn't baking it long enough with the lid off at the end. I figure bread is done when the interior reaches 200 F. She didn't let it get there.
I've started to experiment with small additions of specialty flours and I'm getting positive results but more work is needed. The only down side is we are needing to eat up the 'experiments'.

Since we've been enjoying the 80 cent 100% whole grain taco shells courtesy of Safeway, my daughter has solved this problem.
Rather than the Food Network solution of melting cheese in your hard shells to keep them from breaking b/c, well, that would contaminate my shells (but you could try that), she decided she just breaks them in half and has open face tacos, like a tostado but not...it works surprisingly excellently...

I just recently made an egg white-based sorbet from an Italian cookbook I got as a gift over Valentine’s day. It was amazing. The version I made is lemon, but should be doable as coffee.
Sorbetto limone (Campania)*
1 lb lemons; 1-½ cups sugar; 3 cups water; 3 egg whites
Zest three of the lemons and reserve. Juice all lemons. Mix sugar, zest, and water in saucepan, bring to a boil, and simmer for five to six minutes. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature. Strain, stir in the lemon juice, and pour into a cold glass or metal freezer storage bowl. Put in freezer, removing every forty to sixty minutes to stir vigorously. When it begins to solidify, beat the egg whites stiff and fold into the syrup. Freeze for four hours or overnight.

I have no idea, and I will also not look.
I absolutely love lemon sorbet, and Kroger's Private Selection brand is delicious and reasonably priced at 3.49 a pint. I usually stock up when it's on sale for 2.49 or two-for-one.

Rather than the Food Network solution of melting cheese in your hard shells to keep them from breaking b/c, well, that would contaminate my shells (but you could try that), she decided she just breaks them in half and has open face tacos, like a tostado but not...it works surprisingly excellently...

I cook the beans in the broth that I cook chicken or beef in, or with bones for the extra flavor. That makes a tasty dinner. It also helps with the protein level.
I used to get lentils that were just boiled lentils and white rice. Daily. Because that is what a staple is, and no one was going to eat cassava or things made out of corn because that was not classy or something.
so rice and lentils.

Used to be, in Vancouver, the only good Chinese food you could get, and it was mighty good, was Cantonese, and only in Chinatown. Ate there a lot in my yute. Now there are only one or two good places in Chinatown anymore, and excellent regional Chinese restaurants of various kinds are all found in the formerly lily-white suburbs. Also true of Calgary.

So i thought I'd jump in with the difference between noodles vs pasta. It's real simple and comes down to ONE component from the eggs. Simple answer, YOLK, YOLK, YOLK!
Both noodles and pasta consist of 4 ingredients, Flour, Eggs, Salt, and (some) Water. The biggest difference is how you divide the egg.
A true "egg noodle" uses more YOLK than standard pasta. And getting fresh, farm eggs (or duck eggs) makes a HUGE difference in how a noodle tastes.

A cooperation between sheep farmers and researchers at the University of Sassari developed a hygienic method of production in 2005, aiming to allow the legal selling of the cheese.[16]
Because of its fermentation process, the Guinness World Records listed casu martzu as the world's most dangerous cheese in 2009.[4] "

You can always pick them out first, or with Cazu Marzu do this:
"Some who eat the cheese prefer not to ingest the maggots. Those who do not wish to eat them place the cheese in a sealed paper bag. The maggots, starved for oxygen, writhe and jump in the bag, creating a "pitter-patter" sound. When the sounds subside, the maggots are dead and the cheese can be eaten."

Mexicans are dead last on the 'spanic tree here.
But all those central American countries do their pork, chicken, and fish dishes with similar garnishments and vegetables.
Long ago, before we landed on the moon, I worked on a big steel mill furnace build in East Chicago, IN. I'd grown up in NE OH and did not ever experience Mex. My fellow engineer on the job was a Mexican blueblood spaniard from Mexico City, a guy in training to run our furnace-build expansion biz in Monterey.
Outside the gates of the mill stretched the two dozen or so blocks of East Chicago, IN, with hardly any signage in English for block after block. Mexican restaurants everywhere. Guillermo and I tried them all, him schooling me on what was good and what was not. He said US Mex food was akin to Mexico City street food. We settled on the three or four best joints for and return visits.

I have the first one of these. They are weirdly funny. The author, or at least their writing style, has no sense of perspective.
For your convenience I will start with meats, fish, eggs, soups and sauces, sandwiches, vegetables, the art of French frying, desserts, how to dress game, how to properly sharpen a knife, how to make wines and beer, how to make French soap and also what to do in case of hydrogen or cobalt bomb attacks, keeping as much in alphabetical order as possible.
It’s the “keeping as much in alphabetical order as possible” that always gets me.

I attended Rutgers then the draft ended. Plus I garnered a misdemeanor possession of marijuana charge at age 18. 1970 I was reclassified to 1-H I often wondered if the H stood for Homo lmao

1-H stood for 'Holding' category. You were ordered to carry your draft card with you at all times as ordered by President Nixon. As the order has never been rescinded I hope you sorry sons of bitches are still carrying the tattered remains of your draft card in your wallet.

Lard, beef tallow, butter, olive oil, coconut oil, peanut oil not only add flavor, they won’t inspire Led zeppelin song titles. Corn oil, Canola or Rapeseed, Crisco, all that hydrogenated stuff is to be avoided.

There used to be a place in San Diego, near the northern edge of the harbor, called Santana's. They made (literal) 1 pound burritos. They were hugely flavorful. The crew thought I was nuts to go back for a second one.

Are you “up here” in the people’s republic of CA?
If so, had no idea.
I used to reside at the foot of the Smallest Mountain Range in the World.
Moved East into Gold Country.
I wanted to comment on the fact that since the food Nazis have taken control, that civilization has deteriorated. Lard, although that may be be something that doesn’t appeal to you, has been ostracized, and refied beans and especially tortillas have not ever been the same.
I grew up in SoCal, and the state of Mexican food up here is seriously lacking. The Mexicatessans down there were spectacular. The storefronts that were smaller, and more primative-looking, the better.

Literally the middle of nowhere. What the hell, man. Even if you think I'm a danger to myself, I could run off the road, die out there, and nobody would find me until after all the flesh has been eaten off by ravens and coyotes.

We sold our house here in South Carolina last week. Closing June 10th then the long drive to our place in Wyoming.
Interestingly, I-80 around Rock Springs WY and I'm not sure how much of I-80 is involved, was built over an abandoned coal mine. Apparently 80 is collapsing and the state is going to start pumping cement into the mine.
We'll have a looooonnnnngggg drive home as we live about an hour east of Utah. I-80 is the way to go.

I've done this when it's just me on a road trip and it helps for planning purposes.
I make note of the time and the odometer when I pull out of my driveway and then do the same at the end of the day when I pull into, say the hotel parking lot (or whatever the destination is for that day's travel.) Then divide elapsed time by miles and that's Speed Of Advance and it accounts for all the various stops along the way.
I've pretty much concluded that my SOA for a road trip is 50 mph. So if the map software tells me it's 200 miles, it will be a four hour trip.

It applied more to the non-Interstates, made the Feds happy, or at least they didn't annoy Wyoming about enforcing the 55 limit. It also meant you could drive about 75 instead of 55 on non-Interstate highways and not worry if you did get pulled over.

The Interstates are posted at 75 or 80 mph, mostly, out there. A 63 mph average, I presume, is to account for fuel and meal stops. 567 miles at 75 mph is 7.56 hours. So 9 hours and two minutes allows about 90 minutes for stops.

I mark all public rest stops along my route on a paper map and put them in my nav tool. (I long-distance drive mostly on the Interstate.) I very rarely run into fully closed or closed restroom rest stops. Provides me a set of bathroom stops, as needed, decoupled from gas and food stops and their very hit-or-miss cleanliness or maybe long wait time restrooms. All states seem to keep their highway rest stops well-maintained and pretty clean. In my experience.

People who work in prisons are warned, don't EVER do a favor for a prisoner. No matter how small.
Once you do them a favor, they will constantly remind you of it, and how much trouble you'll get in if they decide to tell on you.
That's how women end up blowing prisoners, and smuggling drugs in tucked into their cooch and/or anus.

Actually happened. Google (or mayb it was Siri) seemed to be sweet-talking me, but was giving rough advice to my wife. It told me the next turn I had to make (in pitch black darkness on a hillside at night) was to make a left turn coming up in 100 feet (or yards, don't remember). At that point, there was no left turn to make (over the edge of the hill) and state troopers were there on the other side. A bit un-nerving.

Don't stop in Billings just to get gas and/or a meal. Stop in Columbus (just west of Billings) and get gas and McDonald's hamburgers at the Town Pump. This will save you an hour's worth of time since any stop in Billings will automatically result in an hour of traveling time.
Of course, the drawback is that you'll have to settle for MickyD's hamburgers, but it's what my family has always done for the past 20-30 years.

When we had flood waters in St. Louis some years back, I was trying to find my way home, while avoiding road closures. One route it took me, it's a good thing they had barriers up. The water was a few feet deep, due to the dip in the road in that area, and in the dark it looked like I was being directed to drive into a lake.

Don't stop in Billings just to get gas and/or a meal. Stop in Columbus (just west of Billings) and get gas and McDonald's hamburgers at the Town Pump. This will save you an hour's worth of time since any stop in Billings will automatically result in an hour of traveling time.
Of course, the drawback is that you'll have to settle for MickyD's hamburgers, but it's what my family has always done for the past 20-30 years.

In part, "But the next evening, the college junior received an email from the university. Alwan and other students were being suspended after their arrests at the “Gaza Solidarity Encampment,” a tactic colleges across the country have deployed to calm growing campus protests against the Israel-Hamas war.
The students’ plight has become a central part of protests, with students and a growing number of faculty demanding their amnesty. At issue is whether universities and law enforcement will clear the charges and withhold other consequences, or whether the suspensions and legal records will follow students into their adult lives."
___
But it was fine to riot & cause graduations to be cancelled for other students - often those who already missed their high school graduation due to C19 - but no action against rioting Gaza Solidarity. For starters, ALL involved who are on Temporary Protected Status - professors, students, campus intruders - need to be put out of the country immediately & kept out. Period. One and done.

the speed Limit goes up to 80 or 85.
New Mexico also increases above 70, which is nice cuz it's about 99.9% desert with a little squib of mountains.
Oklahoma...well, it's filled with Oklahomos so since they can barely stay in their own lanes much less drive at 70 mph, the speed limit lowers.

I pretty much ignore any GPS advice that takes me off the interstate.
I've found that the GPS is liable to lead you through small towns loaded with traffic lights if that map shows even the tiniest one mile or so difference in length, even if it takes you an extra 2 hours to get where you're going.
My favorite GPS advice was when I was taking one of the kiddos to lacrosse tournament and needed to hurry to the airport to catch a flight and Apple maps wanted me to drive across a lake to get there.

Indeed. But for WCVB5ABC today, 'Students involved in pro-Palestinian protests won't face school discipline, Emerson College says'
In part, "The College will not bring any campus disciplinary charges against the protesters and will encourage the district attorney not to pursue charges related to encampment violations," the college said in a statement.
The protesters' arraignment dates have been set for May 2. 3 and 7. Emerson's student housing ends on May 3.
"We will also provide housing support to students required to stay in town for court appearances following the closing of their dorms," the college said."
Ridiculous. The administration & participating professors need to be booted.

When I was transferred from San Diego to Great Lakes, IL back in 89 I drove the entire way. New Mexico had signs up at almost every entrance to the interstate with the fine for how much you were driving over the speed limit. IIRC it had 4 different fine ranges. I stayed within the $10 speeding fine range. Not sure they still have those signs but they were a big help back then.

So I pull over to the shoulder and make an illegal U-turn, going the wrong way just until I can get onto the exit ramp to another road. Drive for a bit and the system quits bitching and does a re-route. Correctly.

On the topic of speeding tickets, my dad got one of those $5 specials back in 1979 not far from Yellowstone. Cop's lights come on, my dad starts cursing that he's screwed and then the cop hands him a ticket for 75 in a 55.
$5 for "wasting national resources".

Blue-On-Blue Fighting! Cheer For Casualties On Both Sides!
The Kennedy family is bathed in the blood of others: from Joe Kennedy's bootlegging criminality that built the foundations of their sordid little empire, to JFK's expansion of America's presence in Vietnam and cowardice in the face of communist expansion in our hemisphere , to the execrable Ted Kennedy's destruction of our immigration system, serial raping, and murder of Mary Joe Kopechne, and all of the other vile Kennedys who pillaged us mere mortals.
They are a horrid family, and the sooner they are cast on to the ash heap of history, the better. But not until their internecine conflict helps defeat Drooling Joe Biden! Inside the family feud tearing apart the Kennedys -- as RFK Jr.'s siblings endorse Biden over their brotherIn a statement at the time, they wrote, "Bobby might share the same name as our father, but he does not share the same values, vision or judgment" and "We denounce his candidacy."RFK Jr. is a loon who says some pleasing things for the majority of Americans who are deeply suspicious of our government. He is correct about the Covid vaccine...sort of.
"Covid-19 is targeted to attack Caucasians and Black people. The people who are most immune are Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese," he said, according to the video published by the Post. "We don't know whether it was deliberately targeted that or not."
And he is also 100% on board with throwing "Climate Deniers" in jail. Regardless of his insanity, if he can pull votes from Drooling Joe, then we need him hail and hearty for the 2024 Presidential Election! Will he energize the moonbat wing of the Democrat Party? Will he alienate the solid, idiotic, reflexive Dem voter because the majority of the Dem royal family is supporting Senile Joe? Will he pull disgruntled Republican voters? Will he provide a sane-sounding alternative for disgruntled Democrats? Who the hell knows! My suspicion is that he will draw disgruntled Democrats more than disgruntled Republicans, and that may mean the difference in some swing states. But mostly I am cheering for Kennedy blood to be spilled. Lots of it...publicly, nastily, so that their reputations are tarnished, and their disgusting political machinations are exposed for all to see. And when I say "blood," I mean both the metaphorical kind and the real kind. One of those ridiculous staged Kennedy touch football games descending into violence would immediately become my most-watched video of all time! [Crossposted at CutJibNewsletter]

Virii constantly mutate. Just image the rate of mutations from generation-to-generation, and realize that:
1) by hijacking genetic machinery of another species to reproduce
2) by having reproduction occur in that same organism billions of times
3) by being very infectious so #2 happens millions of times
4) with a turn-around of generations in the range of what? 20 minutes? So lots and lots of generations
Yeah, what could possibly go wrong...

JFK is less a person now, more an icon. Some love him, I guess, some hate him. He was more complicated than that. He was a politician, and in ways one can say about anyone, whether you like him or not, he was a very good one.
His biggest mistake appears to have been pissing off the Deep State. Got him killed, and gave us LBJ as President, which is one of the greatest disasters of the post-war era.
Posted by: BurtTC at April 28, 2024 12:18 PM (Tr/ye)
I don't think Trump is the only one in grave danger of getting shot; the dems denied secret service to RFK Jr before they ever started trying to take it away from Trump, and I think they'd be fine with another Kennedy getting killed. They'd twist it into another chapter of sacred Kennedy hagiography in no time, and all would be "forgiven" once he was a useful corpse.

Nerds are people who can solve differential equations - establishment journalists are merely well-connected people who know how to suck up to the people in power.

It's what happens when someone has a bacterial infection and only does part of their antibiotic course; those bad boys that survived the incomplete onslaught due to certain minor mutations no longer have to compete with the other ones that were wiped out, so you get more antibiotic-resistant mutations afterwards.

He got rolled a couple times as California governor but that was the nature of the rot and subversion taking hold even then. He was a really sharp businessman, and kind of a “whistleblower” for government waste and stupidity.
He had a long series of short 2 or 3 minute audio or radio spots where he would outline some stupid economic atrocity and then proceed to explain common sense free market principles. They were really good, very few people have the ability to break things down succinctly.

1 & 2 never have and never will vote for Trump. They’ve always been a lost cause since 2016… they are not lost votes. #3 has nowhere else to go and will come back…. But they don’t matter anyway; I’d guess they’re a tiny percentage of 1-3 above. Trump more than replaces those votes with first time minority voters. My $0.02

My basis is that I do not think we are working from an actual vote system anymore, but a manufactured one in the hands of our enemies. Historically speaking, no coup can allow a counter coup (even a managed one.) To me, they do not seem particularly worried about optics (look at all of the Biden stuff) or challengers (the amount of electronic ink spilled here over RFK notwithstanding- it feels like wishcasting on our part.)
I still think we are in the same situation as Nov 3 2020, thinking that the system will function rationally.

She put up some idiocy last week by John Gartner, who claims Trump is in full-on dementia and Biden is just a wise old man we are lucky to have watching over us.
The comments on the article she shared were worse than the article: people (more than one) were discussing the necessity of executing Republicans post Biden victory, to not only save the taxpayers the cost of feeding them in prison, but to make sure there is no desire for insurrection for the next 1000 years.

Maybe I’m just wishcasting but I do believe that, at least in this moment, Trump is way ahead. Biden has been a total disaster and everyone knows it….. they could cheat Biden to victory but it’d be even more blatant than 2020 (which was obvious enough)…. I believe the most likely scenario is they don’t go all out on the cheat, Trump takes office and the deep state hunkers down for four years and waits for 2028…. I’d take this; Trump could do a lot of good in a second term

Trump never apologized for his great failures in 2020 and still endorses the death vax.
RFK has

2) ran the podcast circuit, talking to a variety of demographics through long form discussions
Ya'll may hate his views on climate science, but we should have a discussion about the fact that God gave us a finite world, and we should not expect coal and oil to last forever and maybe have a plan for when they run out.

I figure it's common knowledge, but it's worth repeating that all of Joe Kennedy's money came from bootlegging Irish Whiskey to Boston during prohibition. And his supply was guaranteed because he gave part of his profits to the IRA, to keep his sources in Ireland secure. The IRA of course supported Hitler against the British in WW2. The British always hated Joe Kennedy, and he hated them.

I never heard that, but it’s sad. I understood it was low IQ (but certainly functional), prone to angry and dramatic meltdowns, and because of her learning disabilities was taken advantage of by men. The answer was not lobotomy, clearly. Joe wouldn’t tell anyone where she was for years, something I didn’t understand. If someone disappeared my child, they better be ready to be a subject of potential target practice until they told me where she was.
I know people on here think autism is thrown around, and maybe it is, but her temper and outbursts sound like what happens with some on the spectrum. I deal with this, it’s much better now, however the meltdowns can be spectacular. Lobotomizing, actually or chemically, has never been a thought for me. I don’t get it.

Ya'll may hate his views on climate science, but we should have a discussion about the fact that God gave us a finite world, and we should not expect coal and oil to last forever and maybe have a plan for when they run out.
Evolutionary changes happen at a low level noticeable to only the most astute observer. Revolutionary changes too often occur with little planning or intense forethought as to consequences.
Let the system evolve, let prices dictate consumer thought and actions, and we'll be fine. Not everything in the world is set your hair on fire RIGHT NOW important.

I read a very funny interview with some physicist, who told of giving a lecture on the lifecycle of stars, and in the process spoke of our sun, and its eventual red giant stage.
A woman came up to him after the talk, very agitated, and wanted to be sure of what he had said. WHEN would we go red giant? he told her in perhaps 1.5-2 billion years, and she was immediately much relieved: "Oh my god, thank you professor! I thought you said MILLION!"

Funding EV battery and fast recharging R&D is good. The Junta's insane EV mandate at this time (in fact if not in name), is equivalent to FDR telling the Army and the Navy in early 1942 that they must immediately cease production of all piston-engine aircraft and only produce turbojet-powered aircraft. Because Churchill had recently handed to FDR the plans and performance data for the Gloster E.28/39 and its Power Jets W.1 turbojet engine. FDR believed the change-over would win the war faster.

If they are my chickens, that I was planning to kill and eat later, I'd be very pissed off. That dog is stealing food off my table. I'd be shooting the dog myself, all the same as if it were a coyote. When a dog goes predatory, it reverts to a wolf. It can never again be trusted.

This is actually illegal in many places unless the dogs are in crates. I think it’s cruel - the beds get really hot and can burn their feet. They can over heat in general, it gets hot back there. A sudden stop can send the dog flying. You see people with hunting dogs having climate controlled crates in the back of trucks for a reason.Strapping a dog down like luggage on the top of a car is a sign of missing common sense. I don’t like Romney for a lot of reasons. This is one in a great big pile.
As with other posts, my caveat on this one is I like animals more than people so..😂

The Democrats are trapped in a myth they own the youth vote.
So any shrinkage of that share forces them to redouble their recruitment of youth voters.
But those that remain, this Red Guard, are the most extreme left.
It's not the Muslim vote in MI, Biden is cravenly trying to please:
It's this Red Guard currently protesting at colleges.
And Biden has only just begun courting their votes ...
The very 1st UN vote against Isreal by the US, the open meddling in their elections, the gross betrayal by demanding cease-fire after cease-fire, funding Hamas .... all that, that's just the beginning

I dont like Romney, but this was a dumb issue to be mad over. No real difference to a dog in the bed of a pickup.
Everyone here likes to make fun of dog eater Obama. No one said "that's the culture, we just dont understand!" I guess at least Obama didnt waste the meat.
Noem telling (bragging) about this story to try and get some street cred displays what a political idiot she is.
I never saw her getting past Governor anyway, so if anything we probably got lucky she immolated on the launch pad. She would have been a terrible pick for Trump, but Trump highly values looks when it comes to everything.

The closest small animal (dogs/cats) vet for us is 75 miles away and he would never accept a dog (that had slaughtered a dozen chickens) in his office to be put down.
Rural life may seem harsh, but, a dog that rips apart chickens may turn to kittens and pups and yes, toddlers if left to be the alpha on the farm/surrounding area.
Those kind of dogs are never rehabilitated and should never been rehomed/trusted.

Sunday Morning Book Thread - 04-28-2024 ["Perfessor" Squirrel]
Disparage no book, for it is also a part of this world. --Rabbi Nachman of Bratzlav
PIC NOTE
I was going to use this picture last week, but then the picture of the One Ring showed up in my Inbox by chance and I could not pass that up. This week's pic is just one of those random pictures of libraries you can find all over the internet. This one stood out to me because there is NO WAY that I could stand having my library look like that. Horizontally arranged books just don't work for me at all. Yes, it's easier to read the spines because you don't have to tilt your head sideways. However, it's difficult to pull books from the bottom of the stack off the shelf and it's equally difficult to return them. THE PURPOSE OF LORE AND CANONSome authors are not all that concerned with their own canon and lore and just write whatever they feel like. H.P. Lovecraft allowed many, many authors to contribute to his Cthulhu Mythos, even when he might not have agreed with some of those changes. For instance, August Derleth added a category of godlike beings that was much more benevolent towards humanity than most of the Mythos, even protecting us at times from the callous disregard of Great Old Ones. Raymond E. Feist doesn't re-read his own books to keep his cosmology and history consistent throughout the Riftwar Saga, leading to odd discrepancies and contradictions from series to series.
\(*sigh* My TBR pile grew again this week...See below)
Let's unpack the highlighted portions to examine WHY these statements are incorrect. Many, many years ago, men who were born with great power believed they could cage Darkness itself Three thousand years before the events of the main story, the War of Shadow tore the world apart because the Dark One had been freed from his eternal prison. Note that a WOMAN initiated his release, though she had help from others who sought greater power. It was up to a coalition of male and female channelers (magic-users) to attempt to put this evil genie back into the bottle. Unfortunately, only Lews Therin Telamon had a workable plan and could only find male channelers to assist him, as everyone else thought he was mad. So yes, it was MEN that attempted to "cage Darkness," but only because none of the female channelers could be persuaded to assist. When they failed, the seas boiled, mountains were swallowed up, cities burned, and the women of the Aes Sedai were left to pick up the pieces< Lews Therin Telamon didn't fail. He and his Hundred Companions (give or take) *succeeded* in sealing the Dark One back in his prison and used potent magical seals to patch over the breach in the Dark One's prison. Unfortunately, because only the male half of the True Source was used, this made the patch weaker than it should have been. The weakening of imperfect seals is the source of the conflict in the current Age. The Dark One was able to exact one last retaliatory strike before he was imprisoned again. The backlash from sealing the Bore tainted the entire male half of the True Source, causing all male channelers to go irrevocably insane. With their great power, they reshaped the world, causing the seas to boil and tearing down mountains over here while erecting even larger mountains over there. (Dragonmount is the site of Lews Therin's death, where he drilled a hole to the center of the planet with the One Power causing an enormous volcano to spew forth from the earth.) It wasn't their fault. Even Lews Therin succumbed to madness, killing everyone in his family--including his beloved wife and children--and earning the appellation "Kinslayer." Because the female channelers had not participated in the attempt to seal the Bore, their half of the True Source was untouched by the Dark One's taint. So yes, they were the only magic users sane enough to rebuild society. And him they named Dragon Lews Therin Telamon, the worldwide leader of all of the Aes Sedai (magic users), was already known as the Dragon during the War of Shadow. His banner was a serpentine, Oriental-style dragon on a field of white. Entire armies clashed with the armies of the Shadow under that banner. Because he was the most powerful channeler in the entire world and led the strike on the Dark One's stronghold at Shayol Ghul, his name was remembered well into the following Age, as he saved the world and broke it at the same time. If he was reborn as a girl or a boy This right here breaks the lore at a fundamental level. The world of the Wheel of Time is a strictly binary one when it comes to genders. There are men. There are women. Souls only come in those two flavors. Nothing in between. A certain percentage of female souls have the ability to wield the female half of the True Source. A certain percentage of male souls have the ability to wield the male half of the True Source. It *is* possible for a male soul to be implanted in a female body and vice versa, but that takes the intervention of the Dark One and very specific circumstances around one's death in order for that to happen. It becomes a plot point later in the books when the Dark One infiltrates the Aes Sedai with one of his remade Forsaken who can channel the male half of the True Source while wearing a female body (female channelers have a hard time detecting a man's channeling ability). The Dragon--in EVERY Age--is a man and will ALWAYS be a man, because he is the most powerful channeler of either gender in the entire world, in all the Ages that were and all the Ages that will be (time is circular in this series). It's simply not possible for the Dragon to be born as a girl. Period. The Creator would never allow it. and we must find them...before the Dark does Note the use of the word "them" in this context. Moiraine is using a gender-neutral pronoun to refer to the "child" in the previous sentence because in THIS bastardized lore, the Dragon can be either gender (contrary to the actual lore). Also note the use of the word "Dark" here. In the books, there is no such thing as "the Dark." Instead, the main antagonist is usually referred to as "the Dark One"--the most common appellation though he has a lot of other colorful names depending on one's culture, ethnicity, and species. If evil is referred to in more general terms, it's usually referred to as "the Shadow" in contrast to "the Light." This is somewhat of an interesting word choice, as a shadow relies on a light source in order to be cast, while darkness is the complete absence of light. It's implied in the story that the Creator (the Light) created the Dark One, and therefore could be the source of "the Shadow." The Creator (i.e., God) is also supposed to have sealed the Dark One in his prison at the beginning up time, and thus is more powerful than the Dark One. By referring to him as "Dark," then that implies equal or greater status with "Light." As we can see in these examples, the television show just shat all over the source material in favor of its own nonsensical and inconsistent narrative. I counted a minimum of FIVE lore/canon breaks within just one paragraph of text that is spoken in less than two minutes. Even FJB would be hard-pressed to pack that many lies in that much time. The show does NOT get any better from there. And now the showrunners have to somehow find a way to finish their story in maybe one more season if they are lucky. (SPOILER: It will be a complete disaster, rivaling the finale of Game of Thrones in how much it disappoints its audience). This desire by certain elements to *replace* existing lore instead of creating *new* lore is a direct manifestation of the evil that surrounds us. Both J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis were adamant that evil cannot create. It can only mutilate, pervert, corrupt, and destroy what the Creator (i.e., God) has made. Moral of the story: Lore and canon MATTER, people! Violate it at your own risk. MORON RECOMMENDATIONS
The world is broken. Many, many years ago, men who were born with great power believed they could cage Darkness itself. The arrogance. When they failed, the seas boiled, mountains were swallowed up, cities burned, and the women of the Aes Sedai were left to pick up the pieces. These women remembered one thing above all else...the man who brought the Breaking of the World. And him they named Dragon. Now this man has been born again. We don't know where or to whom. If he was reborn as a girl or a boy. The only thing we know for certain is that this child is coming of age now, and we must find them...before the Dark does. -- Moiraine Damodred
Comment: If you want a good snapshot of what life was like in Hollywood over a hundred years ago, Mary Poppins' Practically Perfect Piercing's Theda Bara stories are an excellent example. Interesting characters, lively dialog, and just nice slice-of-life prose to make you feel immersed in that time. Sounds like Estelman's story takes a similar approach, but uses a modern setting in addition to the older Hollywood.
Loren D. Estleman's Vamp: A Valentino Mystery is a fun accompaniment to our own MP4's Theda Bara tales. Val is a modern-day L.A. movie palace owner/restorer who, in this outing, in addition to helping a friend restore a drive-in, is also trying to save a long-lost print of the 1917 epic Cleopatra. It has a ton of great one-liners: "L.A. has no landmarks, only placeholders for the next Tim Horton's." Posted by: All Hail Eris at April 21, 2024 09:17 AM (3e3hy)
Comment: "The Fields of Athenry" (song) was written in 1979 by Pete St. John and recorded by Danny Doyle. It seemed to capture the spirit of Ireland at the time remaining on the Irish charts for 72 weeks, though never reaching #1. Numerous artists have covered this song over the decades since, such as The Dubliners, The Dropkick Murphys, and Michael freakin' Jackson. I listened to a few of the covers on iTunes, but I think I like the Dropkick Murphys the best. It has a nice tempo to it compared to most.
A cousin gifted me with Athenry by Cahal Dunne, mainly because he met the author at a pub in Pittsburgh, but also because the novel is well written and tells the true story behind the Great Famine. The story is an homage to a song called "The Fields of Athenry," which tells the tale of a young Irishman who is sentenced to the Australian penal colony for stealing a bag of grain to feed his starving family. Set in 1840s Ireland, the novel instructs the reader on the English penal code that enforced the English conquest of Ireland. Catholics were prohibited from practicing their religion, owning or leasing property, entering a profession, owning weapons, voting, living in a town, all in an attempt to render the Irish to the level of slaves. The story is gripping and the level of brutality of the English toward the Irish was stunning to me. (My knowledge of Irish history is not detailed.) The odyssey of Liam O'Donoghue as told in the novel is entertaining and I found it difficult to put the book down. Morality trumps inhumanity, and the love of family sustains Liam through his travails. The book has haunted me from the first page and I want to read it again later.

Comment: It's good that the original author of the work apparently had enough creative control to keep the showrunners in line. We need more of that, I think, as so many adaptations are run off the rails by writers who have no clue what they are doing and deliberately disrespect the source material for their own political ideology. There's also an art to writing a good villain, one that is dangerous and menacing, but not so much that he becomes a caricature or a cartoonish super-villain. Drawing upon real-world examples for inspiration is a great way to add that villainous verisimilitude to your characters. More Moron-recommended reading material can be found HERE! (1000+ Moron-recommended books!)
Since I'm watching Streets of Laredo, the six-hour miniseries based on that novel by Larry McMurtry, I picked up the book at the library to re-read. Since McMurtry co-wrote the teleplay, it follows the novel very closely, down to individual lines of dialogue. On this one I'm not noticing his quirk of shifting viewpoint from one character to another in the same scene, sometimes even in the same paragraph. What LMcM does better than anybody I've read in the Western genre is to create (or use actual historical) villains. Serial killers, not to put too fine a point on it: savage creatures like Blue Duck the Comanche, Mox Mox the "man-burner," Ahumado the vicious Mexican who traps people in pits and cages, and Joey Garza the merciless, blond, blue-eyed Mexican gunman. His heroes are classics like Gus McCrae and Woodrow Call, too, but his antagonists are pure evil and very memorable . . . as if Hannibal Lecter, Jame Gumb, and Francis Dolarhyde were transported to 1870s Texas.

After reviewing some of OregonMuse's old Book Threads, I thought I'd try something a bit different. Instead of just listing WHAT I'm reading, I'll include commentary as well. Unless otherwise specified, you can interpret this as an implied recommendation, though as always your mileage may vary.
- Corrupt corporation seeking to exploit a newly found resource for fun and profit? Check.
- Equally corrupt CEO of said corporation attempting to grab the main phlebotinum in the story for profit? Check.
- Corrupt Vatican suppressing historical documented evidence about the upcoming end of the world? Check.
- Mysterious ruins created by an ancient race all linked together in a global network for an equally mysterious purpose? Check.
- Smart, sassy, sexy female scientist? Check.
- Cynical, world-weary anti-theist linguist who's only mission in life seems to be to disprove Christianity? Check.
- Somewhat optimistic physicist who knows a lot more than he's letting on? (Also directly inspired by Dr. Ian Malcolm from Jurassic Park--Pavlou even plagiarizes a speech from him) Check.
- Unexplained solar storms that threaten the planet? Check.
- Jewish mysticism confirmed by the existence of golems? Check.
- Buckyball (Carbon-60) technology that can do whatever the plot demands? Check.
- Brink of war between the United States and another major power (in this case, China)? Check.
- The lost city of Atlantis rising again? Check.
- The Essential Life by author unknown -- This is a bit of a mystery. This book showed up on my doorstep this week, completely out of the blue. It did include a packing slip/invoice showing that it was sent to me by a man in Michigan unknown to me via eBay. It's quite a lovely book, actually, with a lot of excellent pictures and jam-packed with information about essential oils. Any Morons in Michigan want to 'fess up? I don't mind the gift. It was quite thoughtful.
The library in which I work (but do not work for) had their annual book sale this week. Naturally, I could not resist. I walked away with the following selections for the low, low price of $7 total.
- A Passion for Books: A Book Lover's Treasury of Stories, Essays, Humor, Lore, and Lists on Collecting, Reading, Borrowing, Lending, Caring For, and Appreciating Books edited by Harold Rabinowitz and Rob Kaplan with a foreword by Ray Bradbury. -- This is exactly what it says on the cover: a book BY bibliophiles FOR bibliophiles.
- The Last American Vampire by Seth Grahame-Smith -- This is the sequel to his novel Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter and follows the adventures of vampire Henry Sturges across the first part of the twentieth century through JFK's assassination.
- Edgar Allan Poe: The Fall of the House of Usher and Other Tales by Edgar Allan Poe -- For $1, why not have a selection of his classic stories? Poe was very influential in both the mystery and horror genres.
- Darwin's Children by Greg Bear -- I've only read a handful of Greg Bear's stories, but I've enjoyed the ones I've read. So I decided to add a few more to my collection. This one features super-advanced children that may be conspiring to eliminate the "old" human race.
- Vitals by Greg Bear -- Ah, the quest for immortality...It seldom works out well.
- Psychlone by Greg Bear -- What happens when radical climate events develop a mind of their own? Or something to that effect...The blurb on the back of this book is quite vague.

I finished Streets of Laredo, both film and book, and found them both delightful. The casting in the TV miniseries was fine, too: James Garner as Woodrow Call, Charles Martin Smith (of American Graffiti) as the accountant sent out from Brooklyn to help Call hunt a train robber, Sissy Spacek as now-married schoolteacher (and former whore) Lorena, and Randy Quaid as historical gunman John Wesley Hardin.

There are prizes, $2,500 to the 1st place winner and $500 each to two runner-ups in each genre (mystery, fantasy, etc.).

The title character, unnamed, was a senior programmer for the ultimate, all-encompassing database -- and he grew to distrust it. With the acquiescence of his boss, who shared that opinion, he removed himself from the database and became an unperson. He is now a freelance undercover investigator for a leading detective agency. He gets his assignments in person from its founder and is paid in cash, each time in a secret rendezvous.
He built a trapdoor into the database that lets him take any name and pose as being qualified for his cover jobs.
Right now, he's James Madison (hmm?), attempting to clear a dolphin pod of killing two men at a research institute.
I'm enjoying this.

With that, yes, and two others, "The Mystery of Marie Roget" and "The Purloined Letter." "Rue Morgue" focuses on violent action in the course of the story; "Marie" is totally intellectual; "Letter" introduces the psychological element (though not in the way we'd use the term today) to the tale of crime.
I've never read it, but Poe also wrote a longer story called "Thou Art the Man" which is also considered to be a detective tale.
Dickens' Bleak House has a solid detective element, too, about five years after Poe's stories. I wonder if CD read them.

I had a diverse reading week. I won't put it all in one post.
First, I started Butcher and Blackbird, by Brynne Weaver. It promised to be an entertaining concept: a romance develops between two serial killers, whose victims are other serial killers.
I didn't even finish the first chapter. It is written in present tense, which is almost always a deal breaker for me. You better have a really strong story and great characters to get me past present tense, and this doesn't cut it.
I am also too old for this book. I can read and enjoy YA, but this is all rebellious, foul-mouthed youth who are entirely too full of themselves. I threw them off my lawn and back into the library book return.

In 1979 the art historian was outed as one of the Cambridge spies recruited by Stalin. Shocking new evidence suggests he may also have passed deadly secrets to the Nazis, Robert Verkaik reports
Lindemans had betrayed Operation Market Garden, the ambitious and ill-fated Allied airborne mission that dropped thousands of paratroopers into the Nazi-occupied Netherlands, the 80th anniversary of which falls this September. Had it succeeded, it would have kicked open the door to the heart of Germany and brought the conflict to a speedy end. In the event the Allies lost more than 17,000 men in what was to be their final defeat of the war.

Anyway, it's a great book, combining three of RAH's ongoing obsessions: space travel, practical politics, and the nature of identity. An actor is hired to go to Mars (SPACE TRAVEL) and impersonate a political leader (POLITICS) but gradually his own personality changes as he spends more time in character (IDENTITY).
It's full of all kinds of Problematic stuff, like a future monarchical world government run by the House of Orange, heterosexual relationships between men and women, Manifest Destiny, etc.
I liked it a lot, and now I wish I had read it back in the 1980s.

There is a Hillary Clinton-esque character who takes over the White Tower (bastion of the all-female Aes Sedai). She is not a Darkfriend, but she might as well be.
One of the protagonists tells Elaida to her face that the Dark One would be *embarrassed* to claim her, because she screws up everything she touches.

First of the new arrivals was "Beyond the Western Deep; Volume 3." A print collection of a webcomic. A very Redwall-inspired webcomic; woodland creatures wielding broadswords, a Squirrel-Otter alliance vs a Wolf kingdom vs Weasel tribesmen. I really enjoy it.
My only concern is whether the story will ever be finished. The creators aren't wasting their time with filler, or needlessly dragging out the story, they just don't update very quickly, and don't put a lot in each page. Granted, they've stuck with their story so far, but, still, we're in volume 3, and we're still in the 'expanding scope' phase of the epic tale.

I have trouble thinking of the mid-1920s as a hundred years ago! In some ways my brain is still stuck in the mid-'60s, when I as a teen discovered Ellery Queen (debuted 1929) and Nero Wolfe (1934). So a story set in 1925 Hollywood *seems* to me to be only about forty years back.

Very interesting, if despicable. I guessed before opening the article that Blunt's motive was to ensure the Soviets grabbed as much of Europe as possible.
"The Crown" suggests that Blunt was protected after his espionage came to light in the 1960s because he knew too many of the Royal Family's secrets.

Since I was at the library anyway, I decided to look at the Brandon Sanderson section and got the novella Edgedancer, a reread, and the fourth Stormlight book Rhythms of War. It's been a while since I've actually read a book instead of listening to one. In some ways I resent the required time and focused attention (as well as the personal wear and tear from holding a doorstop of a book) but I'm already done with Edgedancer and into part two of RoW.
I had forgotten how much I enjoyed Sanderson's writing.

In addition to the crime and horror, Poe was one of the greatest "technical" poets, a subject rarely considered anymore. He created new rhyme schemes and metrical foot patterns based on Latin and Greek, a neat trick because they don't use syllabic meter or rhyme in a way that we recognize in our language. Undertaking his proto-Romantic subject matter is a slog for moderns, but just look at the way he builds them and you'll be awe-struck. He went to West Point, you know.

I didn't looks that gamble, but I didn't win either. I got "Red Sonja: Worlds Away" volume 1. It's an okay book, but I already have a copy. The story involves Sonja getting magicked into the present day. that's not a plotline I usually enjoy, I prefer my sword-and-sorcery well separated from my modern day world...But at least the author did some fun stuff with the concept.
Overall, both books were enjoyable. They both had good art, and (more importantly) they both had a writer that wasn't ashamed to be writing a Red Sonja story! That last bit may sound like a low bar, but I've read more than one story-arc that failed to cross it. Nothing ruins a story worse than an author who hates the basic concept of the franchise...

I lucked across his work when I lived in Denver and have read most of his stuff. He was an actor-manager in real life; he knew how to make a story dramatic without shading it into melodrama. I refer to Davies as the Canadian Somerset Maugham. (Maugham was also in the theatre world as a playwright.)

I finished "The Attack" this week.
Very smartly written "World War Z" type fake historical record of a massive Oct 7th type attack(!) of the US and its aftermath.
Grounded well in today's "vibe", so that it seems like you're reading about a real event. Esp, as reality seems to be cooperating in the form of Hamas support among Our Betters in Ivy League schools.
Great assortment of viewpoints from the average everyday guy to the fuck-all-y'all I got mine prepper to
a member of the reaper squad sent out to clean up to the hapless/useless politicians, etc.
Again very smartly written. Gives just enough description to let you know what happen, but does not wallow in the violence. Schichter lets the teller's disgust and horror convert the experience to you. Also he gives you a good insight into the sorts of people who outright or kinda sorta maybe support the terrorists.
Schichter occasionally breaks his own narrative when he indulges in his taste for satire, but then something compelling comes along right after and you're back in the story.
Well-done. Should be a movie or series but won't be(politics, yo!). Good clean writing.
Recommended.

Anyways, sounds like a story to compare to the "Sharpe's Rifles" novels when I get around to reading it. Which may be after I read "The Complete Fletcher Adventures" (digital) boxset which I just bought because it was less than 2 bucks. That's a series of naval adventures, which I imagine I would compare to Horatio Hornblower.

Walt Kelly was a well regarded newspaper strip cartoonist, with the animal cast of the swamp, including the main character Possum Pogo, Albert the Alligator, Jake the Snake, Mrs Beaver, and others. Kelly was an excellent illustrator, as you would expect from a ex-Disney illustrator, but I find his humor to be very subtle and full of references to political and social tropes of the 50's which escape me. Pogo's skiff, for example, is named for various political figures of the time, but I have no idea the importance of it.

Re-reading "Shogun" by James Clavell, after having been pleased but vaguely disappointed in the 10 part Hulu series that just ended. Realized that though the series was fantastic, it just couldn't capture the enormous amount of internal dialogue and intrigue that the book's characters were always ruminating on as they pretended to be polite to each other. I love this book.
Also just picked up "Your Designed Body" by Steve Laufman and Dr. Howard Glicksman, about how insanely complicated our bodies are and how that complexity disproves Darwinian evolution.
Finally, picked up "Greatest Hits," a Harlan Ellison retrospective edited by Michael Straczynski. Ellison was an insufferable that, but the man could write.
Oh! And lest I forget, Alastair Reynolds has a third novel in the Prefect Dreyfus Emergencies sub-series within his Revelation Space universe, called "Machine Vendetta." Looking forward to this one.

His take is that while this Adeptus Custodes change might be a precursor to something woke, it's not woke. The language around the Adeptus Custodes has been ambiguous enough to support the idea that they might be female, although there's apparently a higher-up in the company who has basically said "over my dead body." Well, although I don't think he's dead, GW had an unfortunate leak of a featured female Custodes before their new codex was released. That leak certainly could have been handled better, and they should really fire whoever was running their Twitter account (or force them to read 1984 to learn the meaning behind "We have always been at war with Eastasia"). In general, the whole mess is a yellow flag, and fans should probably exercise caution in going forward.

I checked, and Davies was, like Maugham, more a playwright than an actor or manager. But both were strongly connected to the theatre. It probably helped their novels and short stories quite a bit.

Would Larry McMurtry's novel have been as good if written on a computer instead of a manual typewriter? (He used a Hermes 3000 portable.) As a fan of manual typewriters and even dip pens and fountain pens for writing, I like to think that Hermes 3000 helped.

I think Terry Pratchett, Tom Holt and a few other English writers pushed a sort of inverse "magical realism" of Borges: Borges was very much about how the infinitely magical would appear in the most banal of realities to turn it on it's head, and Pratchett and Holt had the infinitely magical appear in the banal world, and the banal world immediately began using it for stripping paint, and disposing of garbage so they didn't have to pay the garbage collection fees.

I think maybe it's more like that they're used to that method and comfortable with it, and-
are famous enough that they don't have to sweat the small stuff like spellings, etc because they have secretaries and editors to handle cleaning up their manuscripts.
Writing on a computer is so much easier for corrections and rewrites, if you're doing it by yourself.
Though having learned on a typewriter, I'm more comfortable a final printout to check.

Thank you again, for reading it. I'm glad you enjoyed it! I've mentioned before, I stupidly shared drafts with a colleague who is an actual NASA engineer and it was heavily critiqued about any number of technical points, and I had to do a whole bunch of edits just to quiet him. What a pain.
Probably the dumbest thing of it was how absolutely nobody liked the term 'elev-pod', but nobody could think of anything better. I finally put THAT in the book, that 'elev-pod' sucked and everyone hates it, but nobody can think of a better word! Also, Bob H the elev-pod operator speaks in garbled Heinlein quotes.

Their books might well have been longer, but maybe not by too much. Their working habits had been formed in the days before computers were available, I'd guess, and they were probably accustomed to avoiding bloat. They probably would have embraced the machine's ability to make manuscript wide corrections (wait, in this chapter he's Herman, but in the next five he's Henry, and then back to Herman? Aaaaarrrrgh). But if they'd already trained themselves to keep it tight, the machine may not have made a huge difference.
Just a guess with no data to back it up.

Never have tried Wharton. I often take advice from writers I admire when they talk of their influences and other writers they like, and it's led me to many wonderful stories. Truly I am a Rex Stout fan, at least with the Nero Wolfe stories. But I've never been able to follow up on his suggestion that everyone read Jane Austen. The prose is way too dense for me, I guess.
An indignant fan wrote to Stout, demanding to know who *really* wrote the Wolfe tales. Stout told his secretary to write back: "The name is Jane Austen. But I haven't the address."

On a Hordian recommendation, I read Dogland: Passion, Glory, and Lots of Slobber at the Westminster Dog Show by Tommy Tomlinson. This is a view of dog shows as seen through the quest of Striker, a Samoyed, and his handler Laura King (who handled Delilah to a Midwest Borzoi Club specialty Best in Show in 2021) to win the 2022 Westminster Kennel Club show.
It was a fun read (Striker wins the Working Group but loses Best in Show to the Bloodhound) and better than most I've read, but it suffers from a lot of distracting asides. Also, like books of its kind, it is written by an outsider to the dog show world. Without the insight of someone with an intimate knowledge of the show scene and life, what a show is and what, in each breed, it is meant to measure, the whole endeavor can sound silly.
Me? If I had any ambition or ability, I'd write a book taking something like the five-day Houston World Series of Dog Shows with a more detailed explanation of what goes on and how clubs (all-breed, specialty and national), the AKC, exhibitors and dogs make it all possible and fun.

The reason is concepts of Self-Negation: it's becoming clear, at least to me, that a major reason Socialism/Communism got such a foothold in the Russian Empire is because it promised to immanentize the eschaton; but the groundwork was already laid by radicals within the Orthodox Church, obsessed with a goal of social justice and 'reform'. There was a LOT going on, in the ROC, and far from being the reactionary force the Bolsheviks made it out to be, a considerable part of the Church was fully onboard with a form of self-negating social movement; and they were genuinely shocked when the Bolsheviks took over, declared War on God, and took them all out.

This article, or manifesto/declaration of Total War on my Church, was not written by an isolated nut but by a well-respected researcher of kabbalah and esotericism prominently featured in the book I'm wading through right now.
The article treats the Bolshevik/Communist persecution of the Church as a grave tactical error, when elements within both Christianity and Judaism are already onboard with self-negation and social justice; and instead of being wiped out, should be co-opted into a Marxist Society that uses 'organized religion' instead of trying to eliminate it.

As a home schooling dad, I'm always trying to keep an eye out for stories for my girl, especially after we realized that Scholastic is poisoned when, 20 books in, my daughter's favorite book series introduced a non-binary character. Since then we've found a couple of books series that are worth reading:
* tuttle twins - intended to be educational but still good
* dead sea squirrels - Saturday morning cartoon style stories about a boy who found two talking squirrels. My daughter laughs alot when reading it, and ive found it funny too
* The Green Ember - 4 book series about two young rabbits, Heather and Picket, as they are thrown unexpectedly into a war between rabbits and a cruel alliance of wolves and birds of prey that they didn't even know existed. Along the way they deal with betrayal, duty, despair, and hope. Its our current "daddy reads the family a story" book and half the time my *wife* is the one suggesting "just one more chapter".
If graphic novels valid for the book thread I'd like to recommend Minna Sundberg's "Lovely people" which is a short story about bunnies living in a dystopia where "Amazongle" and world counsel rules

I have trouble even believing that these people; most of them highly-placed academics; would publish open-access papers, even from obscure sources; are so blindly enamored of Marxism, they see it as such a Truth, that they openly and enthusiastically espouse their 'reality' of Judeo-Bolshevism and that it's Awesome.

I am a Heinlein fan (peak reading in the late 1970s) and realized I hadn't read this either.
I just now went to Amazon to order and discovered that I had bought this for my Kindle - in 2016!
Got a special deal for $2.99 and it's been sitting there for 8 years.
Gotta work on my Kindle TBR files, but I forget about them because they're not taking up physical space. I have literally dozens and dozens of unread books there.

And when did athletes stop being tall? Now they all have 'length'.
When they're lying down? I suspect that even more than the average talking head, sports commentators know how useless they are and feel a need to sound sophisticated.

Biden White House Blasts 'Hateful Rhetoric' After Pro-Israel Activists Chant 'Go to Gaza' At Columbia Protestors
President Joe Biden’s White House issued a statement condemning pro-Israel activists for “hateful rhetoric” regarding the Columbia University protests.
On Thursday, pro-Israel activists gathered outside of Columbia and began chanting “Go to Gaza!” at pro-Palestinian students protesting the Israel-Hamas war, according to video captured by HuffPost.
The pro-Israel protesters also told the students to “Go home, terrorists!” and “Stop wasting mommy and daddy’s money!”

This premise sounded vaguely familiar. Checked my Kindle buying history and realized I already have this, unread.
I purchased it based on a Moron's recommendation - in 2017.
This is the second recommended book in today's thread I realize that I have had unread for years.
(And I have bought several dozen books so far this year!)
I seriously need to review my library on Kindle.

For example, IIRC, the strip had an extensive story line about the 1956 Summer Olympics in Melbourne-the swamp critters planned to send a team to compete-that was reprised a bit for the 1960 Rome Olympics-cut to the chase, the swamp critters didn't make it to Melbourne. I'm sure there was some sort of news hook that Kelly based the stories on, but I have no idea what it was.
Anyway, interesting stuff albeit very much of its time, and so a bit hard to understand in all its facets today.
Although, t least two bits from Pogo entered into popular expression, and probably remain so today among the Baby Boomer generation. The first is Pogo's expression, "We have met the enemy, and he is us." The second is the annual Christmas time rewording of "Deck the Halls With Boughs of Holly," as, for example, "Deck us all with Boston Charlie, Walla Walla, Wash., an’ Kalamazoo! Nora’s freezin’ on the trolley, Swaller dollar cauliflower alley-garoo!" I'd guess there were a dozen verses or more published in Pogo over the years.
The strips have been reprinted as book compilations-that's how I first read them as a yute at the time, and then some or most were reprinted in the mid 70s.
Posted by: Pope John 20th at April 28, 2024 02:20 PM (cYrkj)
Worth a look, if that's your sort of thing, but don't expect to get all the allusions or jokes. There's probably a doctoral thesis on political humor of the mid-20th Century lurking there for someone with the patience to suss out the details.

I remember the first time I saw "gender" - it was on an application or intake form. Does everyone recall the joke about forms: Sex? male or female? The applicant would draw a box and write "often" next to it. I figured OK - maybe everyone is sick of the joke.
Now the joke is on us. There is no such thing as "gender" except in the romantic languages where nouns take a masculine or feminine "gender". It is not a synonym for "sex" so we should just stop using it.
Posted by: Jake Speed at April 28, 2024 02:40 PM (Vu1jV)
Reminds me of the woman who was filling out her application for U.S. citizenship (yes, this is an old joke).
She came to the question: "Do you advocate the overthrow of the U.S. government by subversion or violence?"
She thought for several minutes, then wrote down "violence."

Now reading: Hampton Sides - Blood and Thunder. It's 50% a biography of Kit Carson and 50% a history of how the US acquired the Southwest and California (spoiler: naked military aggression- although in an almost comedic manner). I was vaguely aware of the Kit Carson legend, but the reality is legendary.
We just put up some new bookcases, so I've started unpacking some more book boxes. I found I have almost an entire shelf of Donald Hamilton paperbacks. Next project: re-reading 31 Matt Helm novels.

Willowed: I still have a couple of things to get at the store, but I've seen all of Walmart I want to for a while. Last night we used the self-checkout to buy my cold medicines. I noticed that they have removed the annoying display screen that shows your face to you as you scan your items. I said so to one of the mouth-breathers standing nearby in WM uniforms, and she blinked at me. "They still got cameras."
"Yes, but the screen isn't in your face anymore!"
More blinking. I wanted to ask, "How closely related were your parents?", but Miss Linda pulled me out before I could make myself unpopular.

>>The whole Mar A Lago raid was an FBI op from the beginning. That is why Smith didn't want trump or his lawyers to have full access to discovery. Cannon just unsealed the files. The FBI planted documents in storage boxes of Trump's stuff at a GSA warehouse in VA, then shipped those boxes to MAL right before the raid.
Of course the whole thing was an Op, they have been running Ops against Trump for almost a decade at this point.

" They also eat the coffee rat, roasted or fried in oil, which is much smaller, the head and body only measuring about four or five inches. These animals are migratory, and commit great damages on the coffee tree, as many as a thousand having been killed in a day on one estate. The planters offer a reward for the destruction of these rodents, which brings grist to the mill in two ways to the coolies who hunt or entrap them, namely, in money and food."

Yes, there are no criminal statutes attached to the Presidential Records Act because, uhmm, all records created by the executive branch are for the President, ie The Unitary Executive, so that's why up until Trump, all Presidents have enjoyed the ability to keep and retain records from their administration, which is also why the Deep State had to create process crimes and leverage the f**king espinoage act to go after a former President of the US.

Attorney General Merrick Garland tapped Jack Smith, a longtime federal prosecutor and former head of the Justice Department's public integrity section, as special counsel.

There has been a lot of procreative sex at my humble abode of debt in the last week.
One the rear deck railing, two turkey vultures will gaze at the eastern horizon. One would get closer to the other, then climb on the back of the presumed female. The female would try to balance on the rail. After a minute or 5, the male gets off onto the rail next to his lover.
Unlike two years ago, he would not spread his wings.
The two birds just stand on the railing for 20 to 80 minutes, both looking to the east.
I've seen three occasions, but the closest I could get with a camera was just after the male dismount.

Then a diesel/gasoline generator isn't, as it is a converter: chemical energy in the fuel is converted to electricity by the motor and then that electricity goes back as chemical energy in the battery as it is charged. Finally when you use it, once again chemical energy goes to electrical.

Catchy phrase but greatly diminishes what is really going on -
They are going beyond merely framing people, but fabricating crimes, or the 'appearance' of a crime, with the intent of 'framing' a specific target of the made up crime.
It helps when there are complete cabals and networks of cabals working in concert to make these happen, even if not co-conspirators from the initiation of the op.
>>> The whole Mar A Lago raid was an FBI op from the beginning. That is why Smith didn't want trump or his lawyers to have full access to discovery. Cannon just unsealed the files. The FBI planted documents in storage boxes of Trump's stuff at a GSA warehouse in VA, then shipped those boxes to MAL right before the raid.

If one considers those at executive levels of the FBI, they are an occupying enemy force against We The People and can be executed, not just by treason, but under military justice since Globalists are as American as anchor babies and what they are engaged in is clearly fifth generation warfare against the USA.

Daily Tech News 28 April 2024
Top Story
- There's never been a better time to get into Fallout 76. (Ars Technica)
There's never been a worse time to get into Fallout 76 either. There's never been a time to get into Fallout 76.Fallout 76 is good now. Actually, it's always been good.
Oh, really?Two weeks in, Fallout 76 is a lonely, glitchy, flawed mess. (Ars Technica)
But baby that was years ago. I've left it all behind.Redownloaded it - like an idiot I got it at launch - to see if it had aged well.
As strong as the rest of your reporting, huh Ars Technica?
Went though character creation, all good, then my character couldn't move. At all.
Looked it up online and the fix was - SIX YEARS after launch - to manually edit some config files.
Nope.
Uninstalled.
Still trash.
Tech News
- Speaking of which, if you're bored you can watch the Ars commentariat tie itself into knots explaining why Germany's move from clean, safe, reliable nuclear power to the dirtiest of dirty coal - they burn lignite - is good for the environment. (Ars Technica)
Or not. Actually, I'd recommend not. Though some of the comments are good:Not sure what these numbers mean. According to Wikipedia consumed energy in Germany was 76 percent fossil in 2023 (including a lot of lignite which is amongst the dirtiest coals). Also to note, over the years Germany has imported more and more energy from France (biggest nuclear park) to compensate for the closure of their own nuclear plants so in a way they have just outsourced their nuclear. And last, electricity prices in Germany are amongst the most expensive in Europe. All this sounds a little less shiny than the article?
They could try burning Ars readers but they're probably too wet.
- The Eurocom 780W AC Power Adapter review. (AnandTech)
780W is unremarkable for a computer power supply these days, though this has some nice features like running on mains power anywhere from 90 to 264 volts, and being able to sustain a 25% overload - right on 1000W of power draw - almost indefinitely.
That's 20 volts out at 50 amps.
Because this is a laptop power supply.
- Proxmox 8.2 is out. (Serve the Home)
Proxmox VE is a pretty neat server virtualisation and management system based on a customised Ubuntu kernel. I've been meaning to set it up at home for a long time, but it's been a while since I had a standalone server that wasn't in use.
- Speaking of which, I've spent the weekend engaging in necromancy.
Apart from the new Asus laptop (the one that refused to talk to the nice 2TB Team MP44 I bought for it) and the three cheap Beelink mini-PCs I bought to build a Linux cluster, I also had four old laptops sitting around.
So I got everything assembled in what is nominally the music room (and in fact does contain an Akai midi keyboard) and I'm working through a long list of hardware upgrades that I already have the parts for, and an even longer list of software upgrades.
At the end of it I'll have eight - probably nine, actually - working computers instead of just the one.
It's all fun and games as usual. I couldn't remember the password on one of the laptops, so I stuck in the Windows 10 install drive and told it to reinstall.
The Windows installer reported that it couldn't find the SSD.
Fortunately I had another identical laptop that I could log in to, so I created a recovery drive from that, and with that I could reinstall Windows.
Those two will soon have 64GB of RAM and 4TB of SSD each. The laptops and their upgrades have been sitting around waiting for me to have time to attend to them since February.
Of 2022.
- The walls of Apple's garden are tumbling down. (The Verge)
You do know that you could just not buy iPhones, right?
- Speaking of which, I also set up my Moto G14 today.
Great screen.
Works well.
1080x2400 screen, 50 megapixel camera, two A75 plus six A55 cores, which is fine for me, though I'd avoid anything that was A55 only, and a headphone jack and microSD slot, which many phones at ten times the price don't have.
Dirt cheap - I paid about $110 on sale for the 4GB / 128GB model.
This is to replace the Oppo phone I've been using as my on-call pager because that one died of battery bloat.
I'd recommend it but it's not available in the US.
Also it talks when you boot it up, which I could do without.
- Tech gadgets are adding AI whether you like it or not. (Ars Technica)
Actually, the case cited doesn't even involve adding AI. It's a new Logitech mouse with a dedicated AI button... Which pops up a menu on Windows.
That's it.
Disclaimer: That is, indeed, it.

The cold that was lurking in the bushes of my immune system last week has blown up into something very inconvenient. My head is clear, I don't ache or anything, but my nose and throat are bothering me. Last night I bought some Flonase (really for allergies, but whatevs) and a packet of black elderberry tablets you dissolve under your tongue. No idea if they're working yet.

True. Along with "ya momminem," which means "your mother and her relatives," and "Where y'at?", which is not an inquiry into your location but a friendly greeting like "How are you?" Or "studyin' wit' da sisters," which has nothing to do with learning with Marge Simpson's siblings but means "going to Catholic school to be taught by nuns."

Morning, JQ,
I might try that. It's less of a sore throat now, though. The clogginess has moved up into the nose, and the post-nasal drip from that makes me cough and makes my throat feel odd.
Heck of it is, I can't exercise vigorously or smoke a pipe. Boring. Well, if I'm still like this tomorrow, I'm calling in sick again.

Yes! Time Saver, I think, in its last days in its original incarnation. The name survives on a couple of stores near me, but I doubt it's the same kind of place. "Rosemary" was one of the ladies; can't recall the name of the other.
For the uninitiated: Da Swamp had a long tradition of local TV ads, some fairly effective and some so bad that they were fun to watch. Look up "Al Scramuzza" or "The Special Man" on YooToob, or look here:

The local references you may not get, like "stone lions in City Park." But the hilarious "Yat" dialect (which is fading now as the Boomers and earlier generations of Swamp dwellers die off or move away) is perfect. "My-nez" for "mayonnaise"!
And the focus in the spot on the actual *food* is very effective as an ad technique.

Well, they were on almost every corner. . . .
The very first Time Saver, as I understand it, was on Gentilly Boulevard near where the commercial stretch began with the shopping centers and used-car lots. It appeared to be up on a hill. You had to drive through a railroad underpass as you went east, and on the far side you'd look up to see the TS store on the right.
If I felt up to a longish drive, I'd head out there this morning and see what's replaced it.

It's a Sabine Hossenfelder video where she explains that some people have been less than honest about the phase out, Shocking, I know.
Sabine is a theoretical physicist who has very interesting videos about all things in the areas of physics and engineering. She's quite good on particle physics and theories of gravity, but she's pretty weak when it comes to climate change. I do give her credit that she has finally realized that EVs won't work any time soon. The idiots at Ars attacked her in the comments in a purely ad hominem fashion, probably not realizing that she is a climate alarmist.
Posted by: MichiCanuck at April 28, 2024 09:33 AM (sH3/P)
I followed her on TwiX a while back. She’s overrated, boring, and is fixated on climate change.
That she finally just came to the conclusion EV’s don’t work supports my opinion of her as a midwit.

I do not own a pair of crocs. But, I will admit to owning Fleetwood Mac's LP Rumors. It seems I'm not the only one.
How Fleetwood Mac Got Cool AgainCatchy music. Great vocals, lyrics people can relate to are only a couple of thoughts.
Why do young people keep rediscovering Rumours? It’s in part because of a song that’s not even on the album.
Do you enjoy the great outdoors? Do you enjoy hiking? Have some travel planned? The Best Hike in Every State
Alpine scrambles and beachfront strolls; multi-day singletrack adventures and quick urban escapes; soaring trees and rolling sand dunes—every state in the country has something to offer intrepid hikers. So we rounded up a bucket-list-worthy, best-of-the-best guide.
Isn't social media just grand? Ads for Explicit ‘AI Girlfriends’ Are Swarming Facebook and Instagram
WIRED found thousands of ads running on Meta’s social platforms promoting sexually explicit “AI girlfriend” apps. Some human sex workers say the platform unfairly polices their own posts more harshly.
Mis Hum:
I am saddened to report that Alex Hassilev, the last original member of the 1960s folk music group The Limeliters, passed away yesterday (4/21/24) at age 91. The Limeliters burst upon the music scene in the early 60s with their mix of harmony, comedy, and international music. The lead singer was tenor Glenn Yarbrough, and Lou Gottlieb provided a lot of the jokes. Their "Through Children's Eyes" album is a classic. Alex Hassilev was fluent in many languages and helped provide that flair to the repertoire. - Isophorone Blog
I'm not saying the next story involves a Genius Award or not. That being said, going into feed wild bears with food is certainly an invitation for mayhem.
ZOO HORROR Shocking moment zookeeper is pinned down by two pandas who chase her down inside enclosure during feeding time

The disguise in this story wouldn't pass as a Halloween costume. Genius Award Winner.
In addition to his mugshot, the Glades County Sheriff's Office also released a photo of the man as he was arrested -- showing his failed attempt at going incognito.
The photo above is what Joshua Kolotka looked like when he posed for his mugshot in Lakeport, Florida -- but it sure wasn't how he appeared when he was apprehended by police. In a release from the Glades County Sheriff's Office, authorities claimed Kolotka tried his best to evade deputies by going incognito, wearing a wig and dress to avoid arrest. It didn't work.

ROT-13. Move every letter 13 places forwards. A becomes N.
And N becomes A; encoding and decoding are the same thing because there's 26 letters.
There are probably a million-and-one auto-decoder websites. And probably only a million of them keep the results to spam them later.

The internet was better in a lot of ways before they tarded it out.
Google search was an almost magical experience up until the 2000s. First they eliminated the most visited, popular websites that was most relevant for the search in favor of “pay $$$ to get your site on the first page”
Then they started actively scrubbing results that don’t Comport with the Narrative. All you get now, is 50 pages of advertisements, and a bunny with a pancake on its head.

Make a simple syrup with cane sugar. Muddle fresh mint leaves in crushed ice, and pour a decent Bourbon, and syrup over same. A sterling cup is traditional, because silver is the best conductor of heat. It makes for an interesting drink, and refreshing on hot, humid days.

Yeah, interesting story. I was in the hospital for throwing up blood. (Turned out to be simply a bad irritation of my esophagus, so don't worry.) I was laying there in recovery, and I was just a couple minutes from being returned to my room when the alarm was sounded in the hospital. It was very frustrating: just a couple minutes short of one alarm, they'd come back with a other. I think I was trapped down there for nearly two hours.
My youngest son was supposed to get married. The site canceled. That was the second time the wedding has been postponed. My oldest niece had flown out from New Jersey. According to his twin, his last words were something like "Fuck it! I'm gonna go and get drunk."
All the Sabine were lucky. We all live east of the worst of it. Daughter has to replace roof, but that was just hail. It stayed mostly in far west Omaha. The little towns out in that general area got hammered. Entire blocks of home in splinters. Very few injuries and no deaths, thankfully.

For the last few weeks, been having tingling on the tip of a forefinger. Last week, the tip of my middle finger decided to join in. Now? Thumb tip and occassionally the areas between those three digits get the tinglies. Called triage nurse, after asking me all the questions related to strokes (is one side of you face numb or tingly?...) gave me four choices:
1) Wait for an appointment with a doc, but that'll be at least a month or two.
2) Go to Urgent care (and waste another 3 to 4 hours of my life)
3) Go to Emergency (waste another 3 to 4 hours+ of my life, and get hit with the bill for it not being an emergency)
4) Do nothing...

1. John Milius wanted George Lucas to direct from his script, and was seemingly on board with Lucas's plan to film it as a "black comedy."
2. Milius and others involved with casting very much wanted Steve McQueen to play the part of Willard, but leaving the US for an extended time led him to turn it down. McQueen, though, pushed Clint Eastwood to play Willard, and offered to play Kurtz because it would be a briefer shoot for him.
Much debate over who would have been better than Brando for Kurtz. If you're going by the standard of "having your lines fed to you over an earpiece," then pretty much anyone, obviously, but I still wonder who would have nailed it. Robert Shaw, John Cassavetes, were among those proposed, but I still don't know.
It may sound bizarre, but I'd kinda favor William Holden - he could have brought that West Point ring-on-the-finger rising star gone rogue aspect to the role. He had the sort of natural charisma that would make it believable that he could draw others to his ultimately insane cause. He also could do a complex villain quite well.

Burt Lancaster - he would chew the scenery, but check him out in Seven Days in May and you can see the makings of a Kurtz there. The age factor would be a problem, but if they could shoot around Brando's rotundity and near-immobility, they could probably handle that too.
Possible third - Charlton Heston. Yes, I know all the problems, but think of the subversive effect. Remember his take on Taylor in Planet of the Apes - how far from that would Kurtz really have to be? (And don't forget that it's Taylor who - is it accidental? - activates the Alpha and Omega Nuke in Beneath the Planet of the Apes. Remember the line in Conrad's novella, "Exterminate the Brutes.

You were right the other night about my compressor motor. Bad start capacitor. I "Zabel Degugged" as a shorted run capacitor. Nope.
This start cap is 189-227 uF, 250V (why they list electrolytic start caps with a range like this, I don't know. Run caps are a given value with a tolerance percentage).
Took both cap houses off the motor and took them out. My Fluke said the start cap was 1.4 uF. On resistance, it showed high resistance, 600 kOhm-ish, but it didn't behave right, you know, value increasing as the cap charged up. Just sort of bounced around.
Evidence of electrolyte leakage as well. Not too bad, but a little around the seam on the end.
Run cap was 15 uF (+/- 6%). It read 13.1 uF, which was out of tolerance, so I replaced it as well.
Motor starts right up and runs nicely. I got two of each of the caps, so I'll have a set if the other motor, exact same model, goes out.

I was looking at the specs on these bipolar electrolytic start caps. Lifetimes are in the 30 hour range. Duty cycle is less than 5%.
Now, they're in circuit normally for less than a second each start cycle, of course, so 30 hours should be many start cycles over years. But the duty cycle is a killer. Not too good for rapid start/stop cycling.

Yes, capacitors for a single-phase 3HP motor. 240V single phase.
The purpose of the caps are to induce a phase shift of the current in an auxiliary start winding. This motor is a "CSCR", for capacitor start, capacitor run. Here the start winding is in circuit all the time. The other capacitor type motor is the "CSIR", cap start, induction run. THe start winding is only energized during start.
The third type is the "PSC" type, permanent split capacitor. You have a "run" capacitor only. They are used for every low starting torque, low HP motors, such as fan motors on HVAC stuff.

I used to be on 325mg aspirin years ago for TIAs I had a decade or so ago. Problem was, it caused lots of bleeding--hematurias. One was so bad I was pissing darker than a Merlot or Hawaiian punch every time; Red Blood Count dropped a few full points. I started getting abdominal cramps and was in a very unhappy mood; my wife called it my man-period.
I'm now on 81mg Aspirin/day, and I don't bleed.
On a side node, last year or so my sister had a TIA and I told her, "Oh, yeah, I was about your age when I had my first". She was not amused.

The HVAC motor for the central air started making protest noises during an exceptionally extended cold period. I was ready to replace it, and even had its replacement on hand - when I realized it wasn’t a “sealed for life” bearing unit, but had oiler points on both ends of the motor shaft. Just little plugs that needed to be removed, and oil, naturally.
Saved me several hundred bucks, at least. Anyway, I was reading the manual for the new motor - run capacitor values will affect the efficiency or electricity consumption to some degree.
The run capacitor should be specifically “sized” for the application - just about any size can be made to work, but fine-tuning the value means cooler running and longer life.
Another motor “gotcha” for residential ho-moaners, outside air conditioner units have a switch, called a “contactor” if I remember right. You can often hear it click when switching from heating to cooling on the thermostat. Well for some reason, bugs like to crawl in there sometimes, and make a nest or whatever, disabling the switch.
Outside compressor units like fresh capacitors, fan motors, and contactors. 1994 Trane !

True enough, but that came from the Hickenlooper "making-of" documentary. A few other gems from that:
Lucas at one point wanted to do the film in Vietnam itself, then shifted to favor it pseudo-documentary style in Stockton using black and white film.
One of the props guys decided on his own to bring in cadavers, planning to use them to decorate Kurtz's Hell-scape hq. Coppola freaked out, and even more so when he found out that the "medical examiner" who supplied the corpses was actually a grave-robber.
Method Acting - Dennis Hopper had trouble on set early on, and when Coppola asked, "What can get you through this," Hopper said, "About an ounce of cocaine," and that became part of the regular film budget from then onwards..

I suffer from ganglion cysts, they are fluid cysts on tendons that swell and can cause problems. My most recent one is on the back side tendon on my middle finger, which wasn't a problem besides it impinged on the nerve on a pressure point, especially when I tried to grab something like you described. It was quite painful for a while, and if I knead it too much it starts hurting again.
It is one of those spots I was told is a spot for a "compliance hold" and I admit it can be painful

I've got one of those. I've found that debris from surrounding trees can get into and jam up the rain gauge fairly easily. Also, if you've got the optional lightning detector it probably doesn't work for shit. The one I've got has detected exactly one lightning event, and that was almost directly overhead.
But overall it's done it's job for the last three and a half years or so.

Re fine tuning or sizing in general a run capacitor. I've known people who've modified CSIR motors with an external run capacitor to improve efficiency and power factor. You've got to be careful. Some will work fine, but in some, the start winding just can't stand continuous current at all without overheating.
Run capacitors over the typical single phase HP range run from about 2 to 70 uF.
What you do is start small, the gradually increase the capacitance until you hit the sweet spot, which will show up as minimum running current for the given load (note you'll be tuning this for the load the motor is actually pulling, not its rated load).
If you get too big, the current will start to increase again. You want to keep it on the low side of that point.

Although its origins are now being re-debated, syphilis is still seen as a disease that existed first in the New World. Its first appearance in Europe comes in 1493, in the same month and the same port city where Columbus's sailors dropped anchor.

I looked up the typical performance curves for single phase motors, and that tells the story. Google, back in the early days when it was actually good and useful, would find something like this immediately. Now, you just get garbage.
Luckily, I had those charts in a book.
Anyway, if you look a the torque vs speed curve, which nicely includes the curves for run capacitor only, the starting torque is maybe 10 -15% of full load torque. That explains the sitting there and humming and blowing. Without the load, it would've likely started, relatively slowly, but with the compressor attached and unloader closed it couldn't budge.

This one has a coil spring "filter" in the rain funnel. That's supposed to keep debris from clogging the funnel hole and dropping in the tipping bucket, but even debris that is caught by that can pile up and limit flow.

Weird thing about tornadoes - meteorologists still can't agree on how one should be defined scientifically. I've never quite understood what the sticking point is with the scientists, but jeez are they terrifying.
Mississippi has its share of them, not nearly as bad as our neighbor, Alabama, where they've experienced heart-rending disasters. Almost everyone I knew growing up had a tornado-related story to tell - my parents, for example, were living in their second home when I was born, because a tornado demolished most of their first one. They somehow survived hiding under a bed. Their dog was whisked away, but came back a few days later without any visible scratches.

Did Fleetwood Mac have any obscure, non-air-play tracks, in which they actually DID lay down any tunes to which you'd groove?
I think that many bands had exactly such songs in their books, those that the D.J.s or Program Managers didn't "grok", but were tracks that resonated with other musicians, critical listeners and such.
I just don't know the Fleetwood Mac music catalog well enough to discern their mix, from the bad to the good, or anything in between.

Certainly. The (current) pinnacle of that form, is Disturbed's "Sounds of Silence". I'd say that it was Sublime, but that's a different band, altogether.
Conversely. REO Speedwagon USED to Rock. The concert version of "Roll With The Changes" is as Rock as it Gets.
And then, (like Chicago), they started to play ballads. Chick music.
At least Chicago can blame it on the death of Terry Kath, and the ensuing Peter Cetera coup.

Arabs call tea "chai". Fuck them, it's tea.
Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon
"Te" or "cha" are the Chinese pronunciations, where the plant originated. Different dialects. Min: te. Cantonese and Mandarin: cha.
As a westerner, if you got your tea by ocean trade, you probably called it something based on "te." If you got it by the Silk Road, you probably called it something based on "cha." Because those were the Chinese people you were dealing with.
Both "tea" and "chai" are corruptions of the Chinese words, so calling either its "proper" name seems improper.
Today, Min is only spoken by about 70 million of the billion Chinese, so "cha" is probably the most proper name for it? That's also the Korean and Japanese pronunciation.
But I don't see a reason to make English speakers use a word other than "tea." That's what we call it.

I hurt my hip some years back (technically, jammed by leg into the hip). I had taken a trip out-of-country with the family and had been running from one terminal to another hauling over 100lbs of luggage. The day before we were to go back home, the pain was so back I saw a local herbalist/chiropractor. She worked on it until it made a sickly cracking sound, and immediately felt much better. She then put this aweful smelling poultice on it and warned me not to was it off for 24 hours. So here, I'm flying back the US on a 12+hour international flight, wearing the stinky poultice. When we finally land, I'm exiting the plane, and wife says the stewardess said, "There's that smell again", to which a steward responded, "I told you it wasn't me!"

Devil's breath. A REAL plant that makes a compound called Scopolamine. Supposedly it makes the person who's drugged very compliant, and when the effects wear off, the victim can't remember what happened. Very popular in Colombia, or so I hear.

Jim - hilarious! At least Uncle Samps wasn't that kind of a drunk - he always struck me as a good-natured cornpone version of W.C. Fields. Definitely not a fighter, if you judge by the local draft board at the time. He duly reported, and was duly rejected. I've seen the document - "physicallly unsuited" and "profound vision problems." My Uncle Hoyt later explained to me that they felt they couldn't rely on him being sober long enough, and even then not being able to stand upright or even walk dependably in the right direction, or to actually see or hit what he was shooting at. If you're over 29, just picture a draft board evaluating a Southern-fried Foster Brooks.

Historians have much criticism of the kind of stuff placed in time capsules, saying much of it is of little value for the supposed purpose.
They say it would be better to have personal accounts of daily life of a sample of the population. People talking about what they were doing, what they thought, and their own accounts of the current state of their world.

See "CP Violation". This likely has something to do with the why only matter question. But no one has figured it out.
Imagine this. You switch everything to antimatter. Protons becomes antiprotons, with negative charge, and electrons become positrons with positive charge (that we call now). You have to flip other things as well.
Now, can you tell the difference? It used to be thought you couldn't, until CP violation was discovered.
Yep, you could tell if you were antimatter or matter. Although which you called which wouldn't matter.

Not a passionate Fleetwood fan, but had no problem with their music, and Stevie Nicks in the day was easy on the eyes.
Their chief benefit, to an adolescent me, was the girls who liked them. Beautiful, intelligent, open to the transcendent, and pleasant-natured. I remember one saying, "I like it because of the - witchy things." Ah, I thought, do you, indeed. Most beguiling she proved to be. Fun times in the Seventies blissfully free of disco.

Restless Legs suck. I used to get them. Back when I did dialysis and go on a car trip for a couple of hours, eventually I would feel compelled to move my legs. Also back when I would get the most terrible foot/calf/leg cramps that drinking tonic water helped with.

Saturday Evening Movie Thread [moviegique]: Hundreds of Beavers
How often do we see a movie that is exactly what it says on the tin? Since mainstream movies aren't all named "Soulless Crap", those are out. But it's long been a practice in the indies to name your movie something you can't really live up to. The odds of exaggeration go up exponentially when there's a number in the title. Two Thousand Maniacs? More like two dozen maniacs. A Million Ways To Die In The West? Fifteen, tops! (It affects music, too! "Fifty Ways To Leave Your Lover" has about four or five ways, depending on how you count. Shrinkflation was really bad in the '70s.)
Beaver count in Hundreds of Beavers? Literally hundreds. You lose track, there are so many. But the movie, knowing how often the audience has been betrayed, toys with us at first, giving us a couple of beavers here and there along with a lot of raccoons, bears, wolves, and other furry, skinnable critters, before the third act reveal. But let us begin at the beginning.
Now THAT is a movie poster!Ryan Brickson Cole Tews plays Jean Kayak, a furrier in the frontier days of the country, and in the movie's setup, we see that he is a great grower of apples—and a great purveyor of applejack, to which he finds himself in thrall. His drunkenness causes him to lose his factory and apple groves, to say nothing of his reputation, and he must find another way to survive in the perpetual winter of Wisconsin (or possibly Michigan).
He attempts to trap animals for food and fails miserably, but ultimately ends up teaming up with The Master Fur Trapper, who teaches him all the tricks. When The Master meets an untimely demise, he strikes out on his own, trading with The Merchant, who runs his shop exactly like one you might find in a computer role-playing game. A knife is one penny, a rope is two pennies, a pipe is three beavers, and so on.
Did I say "like" a video game? I mean...EXACTLY THE SAME AS.
The lovely Miss Graves skins a beaver. (She's also a proficient pole dancer!)
On trial for beaver crimes.
Plus, it's a Christmas movie!
: Not the 2000 Johnny Depp/Juliet Binoche romance but a "slice of life" memoir about French Cameroon in the '50s. Beautifully shot with a competent (and good looking) cast, but not a lot to say for itself.
Late Night With The Devil: Breakout horror hit of the year, this "found footage" film stretches (and even breaks) the boundaries of the genre to provide a very compelling experience.
Remembering Gene Wilder: A fun documentary narrated by Wilder, and hitting the highlights of his career. A lot of smiles with the mandatory memento mori end.
Arcadian: Nicolas Cage indulges his agent, who wrote this thinly plotted horror which makes less and less sense the more you think about it.
Le Samourai (1967): Classic French noir about a hitman with a code, complete with made-up quote from the Bushido. Hard-boiled inspiration for every filmmaker dabbling in noir ever since.
The Teacher's Lounge: Moral uncertainty plagues a German school, leading one teacher (a Pole) to an increasingly tenuous career position. Fine acting and buildup puts the writers into a corner they don't dare try to get out of in this Oscar-nominated film.
Chinatown (1974): The fiftieth anniversary of the Best Picture Oscar-winner that reminds you that Jack Nicholson used to put out some amazingly subtle performances before becoming a caricature of himself, and Roman Polanski could direct a great film, no matter how big a creep:
The Pianist (2002): We're in-between the 20th and 25th anniversary, making me wonder if this isn't part of a(nother) push to rehab Polanski by reminding us that, even as recently as 2002, he could direct a hell of a film. Adrien Brody's breakout role.
Woman in the Dunes (1964): The highest rated film I've seen in the past year (with an 8.5 on IMDB), this tells the story of an entomologist trapped in a pit with a woman for two-and-a-half hours. I don't think I "got" this one.
The Taste of Things: I loved this movie about a 19th century French gourmand and his lifelong chef/lover. The first hour-and-a-half is mostly cooking, but it slows down after that a little. Juliette Binoche looks rather good naked even at sixty.
Perfect Days: Wim Wenders gives us a story of a peaceful, happy toilet cleaner in Japan, whose life is touched by the chaos in others', but only just. A drama for people who don't like drama.
Amelie (2001): Jeunet's classic love-song to Paris is as charming as ever—a rare film where the heroine is a coward, or is overcoming her cowardice—and even more remarkable in its resemblance to A Christmas Story. That is to say, it was a nostalgic film at the time, and of a time that is so far gone, nary a trace remains.
With a little searching, you can find HoB posters for "Reservoir Dogs", "Sleepless In Seattle", "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" and many others.Comments

Those two things are not exclusive.
Raymond (the glass man) calls her a coward, mildly at first, then in an end-of-second-act rant. It's what causes her to finally act and overcome her cowardice, at least somewhat.
Up till that point, she's a coward.
Szpilman (The Pianist) is also a coward, but it's how he survives. His circumstances are such that he either hides and lies, etc., or he dies.
They're both cases where cowardice is relatable.

I was always indifferent. And then during early covid when ESPN had nothing to offer they showed an Eagles concert. They'd brought in Vince Gill to replace somebody.
Now, I'm not a big country fan but I knew that Gill was a really big deal in country music. Yet there he was, just a member of the band. And he did great! That impressed me.

That said, the "horror" sequence at the end of the film is pretty interesting. It was the first big movie role for Kirstie Alley and introduced the world to Courtney Thorne-Smith.

I know that Brando showed up morbidly obese and they shot around his fatness as much as possible, but I came to the conclusion that he was just miscast. We could probably think of a dozen actors that would have been at least no worse then Brando with much less on set drama.

The ending of The Ninth Gate is how I wished the ending of No Country for Old Men Ended.
It should have ended when Chigurh leaves the house after killing Carla, he wipes his boot and looks out and the film should have faded to black.
Instead we got another twenty minutes and couple of false endings before they mercifully ended the film.

Posted by: sven at April 27, 2024 08:15 PM (X0I7i)
Either the fade to black you suggest or the current ending works, I think showing Chigurh being just as much at the mercy of random chaos as his victims was a good choice.

Coppola's choices show he was REALLY enjoying the SEA lifestyle....he originally cast Keitel then scratched him for Sheen but I think neither of them really got what the role should have been.
Willard was an immoral person who feared he was amoral and wound up becoming moral by the end of his arc.
I think DeNiro or Walken either one could have pulled it off as could have a directable Ford.
Problem is filming was in 76 and 77 and Walken and Ford were not main character actors at that point.
Willard was supposed to be a grey man who held some menace and was ruthless when seeing a mission through....Sheen never captured that.

None of the actors played these military intelligence types as soldiers, nor even the stone cold corporate men in the actual "Heart of Darkness."
They played emo Hollywood interpretations of peacenik caricatures of soldiers.
The character of Kurtz as penned was a person being groomed to be a 3 star minimum and so long as he not screwed the pooch would have been in line to run NATO and measure d*cks with Ivan in EUtopia at some point.
Instead Kurtz went into "I want to DO something rather than BE someone" mode and go fight in Asia, and seeing the failure of doctrine he decided to streamline the matter and out crazy the Vietcong.
Brando never quite convinced me that he would allow Kurtz the moral certainty the character HAD to have felt and he never sold me on the inspirational nature that beguiled dedicated SF guys like Scott Glenn's character to get streamlined and "go downtown."
Sheen when I rewatched the Redux cut struck me as playing the same character his son played in Platoon to a degree.

That's what I've always thought. I like the 50's version, hated the 70's. There was one in the 90's that took place at an army base that was also optimistic at the end. I can't remember the Kidman version.
Someone here said the 50's version was not the original ending. It ended with Kevin McCarthy running through traffic trying to warn people. It was an allegory (?) of communism.

McQueen and Newman both had the acting chops for either Willard or Kurtz but both filmed "old" for Willard....
either one could have done a neat Kurtz though.
Willard should have been 29-33 years old looking.

He died in 78 but he would have been ill during filming, that said I think he would have kept schedule better than Brando did.
AN came out in 79 because a lot like Star Wars it was saved in the edit....unlike Star Wars which was saved by a metaphorical commando team of old guard B movie western editors burning the candle at both ends Coppola essentially litigated every editorial cut.
I think Shaw would have reduced the need for the massive edits because I think he would have left a more coherent performance....
it is an interesting thought experiment, with a better Kurtz I think AN would have been out in 78.

1) Watched "Late Night With the Devil" - basically it's what happens when
Shenanigans ofthe unpleasant kind ensue.
Very well-done with a neat climax that kind of blows your mind in the same way That Sadako did when you first saw her climb out of the well in "Ringu" Streaming for "free" on Shudder.
2) "Arcadian" - we liked this one better than moviegique. some nice scares, Nick Cage as sober-minded Dad, and original freaky-deaky monsters that just makes the climax a bunch of fun.
3) "Disappear Completely" - a Spanish horror movie that just wants to creep you out, and does its job. An asshole news photographer will do anything to get a picture, but after breaking into the house of a dead man who was eaten alive by rats, he finds that he's been cursed.
The curse causes him to start losing each of his five senses, he has less than a week to find out who cursed him, how he was cursed, and how to break the curse before he completely loses all contact with the world around him. Very well made, great acting, streaming now on Netflix.

Coppola went almost as abusive to the cast of AN as Kubrick got on Duvall in "The Shining" and that is not mirth.

Cage has a screen presence that none of the youngsters possess.
Not sure the movie fell apart so much as Cage wasn't active to give the story/action/ proceeding dramatic heft until the end.

Brother gets kidnapped by the Grabber. Put in a room. Phone is there. Dead victims call amd help him try to escape. Good movie. Not horribly scary.
Madeleine's sister Violet was the child star in M3GAN. Not horribly scary. Good movie. Both in sequels.
I was on IG till last year and followed some of my favorite Disney actresses simply to not be pissed off all the time. Madeleine has such a sweet family. There was a great video where they finally got a dog and surprised Violet. She just cried over and over .Oh my God!' Both girls...horror movie stars.

Family moves off the grid, but the mother is bipolar, government people get involved, crap goes down. Good until the last 5 minites where the kids blame the Dad. Lot of anti-government stuff...or liberal versions of it.

I think Willard was broken and hiding it, and Kurz made him choose between facing himself or dying.
As for casting, Brando was supposed to be the arrogant and powerful;y charismatic figure he had been in earlier films, but as he was physically, they just made him the insane figurehead of an insane movement
It turned into a cartoon, like a lot of "major" films, like One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.

Ace of Spades Pet Thread, April 27
My neighbor has informed me that our racoon has returned. Must be late April. I don't mind her and her soon to be born brood except they leave muddy racoon paw prints on my white trim I will have to pressure wash or repaint. Three years running.
Tutti Fruitti has been featured before, but we are celebrating his comeback from a, what I am sure was a stroke, cough that was related to eating and drinking--cat dysphagia. Took him to the vet and spent a bunch of money to get less info than I already figured out; but ruled out an obstruction for the cough and refusal to eat or drink. So, just gently encouraged him to drink water and he slowly improved from there. At 16, I know that he does not have a long time left, but he is a fighter and worked his way back. I'm enjoying every day that I have with him. Nan in AZWhat a beautiful cat! Glad you still have him.
Hi K.T. Thanks so much for hosting the Pet Thread. I look forward to your commentary and seeing the Moron Pets every Saturday. I'm attaching pics of my West Highland Terrorist, Bodie. He's 4 years old and doesn't he look cute? It's a damn good thing because he's a real pistol. He is stubborn, headstrong and hasn't met a dog that he won't go after. He's a little dog that thinks he's big. In other words full of Westitude. And we love him. The first pic is Bodie and his favorite toy, the sneaky snake. Second pic is just chilling. My nic is MeLurkYouLongTime.We can tell that we would love Bodie, too. Even though he has Westitude.
Cats in the evening: We have no idea what the draw is but in the late evening Sangria and Rooney camp out with the computers. They don't stay long, it's only one of the stops on their way through the house. The rest of the day and evening they fight over the chair when it's unoccupied. Lirio100
My wife and I are empty nesters. We live in a house with many pets. Birds, cats and a dog. Everybody gets along fairly well as these pictures reflect. The first is our lab Bella and her buddy Nola. We have raised Nola from a hatchling and Bella adopted her. They canoodle together and Bella is very gentle. The next is our White Bellied Caique and Val. The cat tolerates this indignity somehow. Love the site and this feature. Regards, DJWow. Remarkable photos. And interesting stories!
What a wonderful collection of pet stories today. We have one left for next week.
Thank you for sharing your pets with us.

They are so big that they don't all 6 fit when the milkbar opens. Mama is full of milk still but they are eating solid food too.
We noticed that the two yellow ones always stick together and they have done that from the beginning, even suckling next to each other. Maybe they bonded very early or in utero?
One gray is a mama's boy and tends to follow her all the time and the lie down with her.

Yes. One of the three cats we brought back form Africa, a black male called surprisingly Midnight, would sit in front of the fireplace and hint to start the fire. Then he would sit so close we worried he'd burn but no, he loved it and was toastie warm on one side.

I am sure a lot of that is anesthesia. You could get more quotes. We got our dogs teeth done until I started feeding raw, and as a result, no tarter build up. I don’t have a dog now, but if I get another, I will go the same route. Our cats get a semi raw diet, and I should get Kovu’s teeth done as he has some build up. Savannahs don’t do amazingly well with anesthesia so I am going to try brushing first and hope I survive it.

Heh! Both of my sisters' cats used to sit so close to her fireplace, she thought they were trying to get in it. They'd sit there for hours. They'd also sit in front of it and look pleadingly at her to start a fire, if there wasn't one. They were Persians too, so lots of fur.

My two are well. Stirling the great black cat sleeps with me every night, at least part of it, I guess, and usually when I nap on the weekends. Dagny La Siberienne is still a standoffish little thing. But if you start petting her while she's on a flat surface, a table or a counter, she will roll over so you can pet her belly. It's not a come-on so she can seize and gnaw on your hand; she really does love that form of attention.

Animals can't tell you what's hurting and how bad and it make it difficult in most cases to make a terminal decision like that. With humans? Well if they are still lucid we don't do that but we do pull the plug with a loved one in a terminal coma.
Of course in Canada they encourage people to go even for a headache.

I decided that it would be when they couldn't walk for themselves anymore.
The only pet I actually had to make that decision for was my last cat. She could still walk, mostly, but she was so anemic that she was constantly staggering and falling over.
And she wasn't eating and all that.
When I took her in... well. She was gone before the vet finished giving her the full dose of sedative.
Probably wouldn't have lasted a more than a few days more on her own anyway.

I may end up bottle feeding all of them. 4 babies makes it tough to schedule milking and I still haven't seen Charlie's baby nursing. A lot of work feeding them 4 times a day and milking mamas, but in the long run, bottle fed babies are gentler and more manageable on the milk stand.

Wolf and Chekov certainly did. Wolf early on figured that the last room I'd vacuum was the bathroom, so he'd hole up in there. Chekov never got that, and would hide under furniture and run ahead of the machine as I moved from area to area.
The current cats get up high, atop the couch or on a kitchen counter, and wait until the storm blows over.
The late Marie-Antoinette was never disturbed by the vacuum, not enough to run and hide. Perhaps she figured that since Her Manservant (me) was in charge of it, I would never let it hurt her.

I did this after we took our sweet Tucker to be put down after a diagnosis of incurable/inoperable cancer. The vet was efficient and kind and we were there for Tucker, but my takeaway was that being on an unfamiliar stainless steel table must have horrific for him, so never again!

Keep a close eye on your Maine Coon and get him to the vet soonest if he starts showing any sign of abscess or infection. My cat Buddy got tangled up like that once and we pumped him full of antibiotics just in time.

The actor from the cursed live-action show Cowboy Bebop is in another netflix movie called City Hunter.
Someone who watched a few episodes of Cowboy Bebop would find it to be off-beat and high-energy, whereas watching the series gives you profoundly sad vibes. The second project corrected by going with unserious source material.
I have a subscription to audible and this often gets me free books, seeming at random. Today I discovered that The Lord of the Rings was available.

We had to take Bailey on her last visit to the vet on Thurs. She loved to ride in the car and loved going to the vet so it wasn't stressful for her.
At 14 she was done for. She had really been struggling since Thanksgiving. A few bad days and then she'd rebound, a fighter. Now however it was time.

Edible Gardening/Putting Things By
I sent a picture last fall of my tiny fignomenal fig tree. The little discolored leaf is the last of the leaves that lasted over winter. Maybe three weeks ago it suddenly took off and looks pretty healthy now. The second is my baby tomato, it's a little leggy because I've just started being able to set it outside in the sun recently. When it's warm enough to plant outside I'll bury it some. It's a GMO purple tomato (has two purple snapdragon genes) from Norfolk Healthy Produce. They passed USDA and FDA regulatory requirements last year and offered seeds for sale. It's an indeterminate cherry tomato. I just checked the website and they've closed sales for this year but plan on selling again in Nov/Dec. Supposedly the two genes are intended to increase the amount of anthocyanins in the fruit. The seeds were pretty expensive so I hope the price will come done then! Lirio100
Art A Daily Dose of History, April 26
By the time he was in his 40's, John James Audubon was prosperous and world famous. But not before having to overcome lots of adversity. Born Jean Jacques Audubon in the French colony of Sainte Domingue (now Haiti), he was the illegitimate child of a chambermaid and a French sea captain/plantation-owner. His mother died when he was only a few months old and at age 6 Jean was taken to France, where he was adopted and raised by his father's wife. Jean's father had hoped the boy would become a naval officer, following in his footsteps, but Jean was a failure at military and naval training. So, to keep him from being conscripted into Napoleon's army, Jean's father acquired forged identity papers for the boy and sent him to America. On the way over Jean adopted the anglicized version of his name: John James Audubon.
In America, after surviving a bout of yellow fever, John met and fell in love with Lucy Bakewell, eventually marrying her. John was a brilliant and gifted man, but he failed repeatedly in business. By 1819 he was bankrupt and in debtor's prison. Lucy supported the family by working as a teacher. As we all know now, John's true calling was as an artist and a naturalist. For nearly 15 years he had traveled around America, collecting and painting birds, while trying in vain to establish himself professionally.
Finally, in 1826, when John was 41 years old, his wife encouraged (and paid for) him to go to Europe to try to find a publisher for his collection of drawings. And there he became a sensation. His work was immensely popular, he had audiences with royalty, and his book The Birds of America became a smash hit. He is remembered today as one the greatest naturalists and nature artists in history. . . The photo is of his drawing "Marsh Wren," which is in the Maier Museum of Art at Randolph College in Lynchburg, Virginia.

Local scavengers will vary of course, but when I was putting vegetable parts in the compost, my groundhogs were willing to go several feet deep to get to the good stuff. For my 'biome' I had to make the command decision to deprive them of it.
It was a sharp winter that year; they found a home and had two litters. In the spring, I had to replant beans three times. That ended my long honeymoon with the local groundhogs.

My spinach is outdoors and very happy. Lettuce and arugula (have you seen the price?) doing just okay. Corn and zucchini in the ground and happy. Hey, it's a little early, but global warming*. Cucumbers will wait another week, maybe two. Same with tomatoes. I planted some cherry tomatoes in a warm location about two weeks ago and they've done nothing. Definitely too soon on them.

* Interesting thing on video I saw recently about temperatures is highs are not as high, and lows are not as low. Our climate is actually becoming more moderate. Which means earlier planting season - for me anyway. I'll chance it.

We had a handyman come in and do a spring clean-out of our bird-bee-butterfly garden. Removing weeds, cutting back dead branches, laying down mulch, doing some trimming. $500 well spent.
He also planted four new trees we purchased. Two peach and two crape myrtles. Things look lovely again.

Hordesourcing here: I grow veggies in raised beds. This means I need soil to fill the beds.
Do y'all know if a cost-effective way to do this? I've been using bags of spaghnum peat-based stuff (Sunshine mix, Miracle Gro mix) that has become hard to find, expensive, and/or low quality.
I use all the compost and yard clippings I produce. Also, it seems like the entire yard loses soil in spite of the fact that rain runoff is basically clear. I think the moles are stealing my dirt.
Anyway, I need more soil, especially light, moisture-retaining yet well-draining stuff for my veggie beds. What option have I missed?

Has their quality recovered? It used to be pretty good stuff. That's what I switched to when I could no longer find Sunshine. But ever since about 2021, Miracle Gro devolved into a bunch of wood chips and something that smelled like sewage, colored with charcoal to make it look rich and reduce the stench. It's been really bad stuff for at least two seasons.

I bought some huge 30 gallon paper lawn waste bags at Amazon to store leaves from last fall. When leaves break down they make some truly excellent soil - as a local farmer told me who offered to take my entire towns supply of leaf waste off their hands and plow it under. At $1.77 each for probably 15 gallons of soil, it seems to make $ense.

I also got the first of my corn in, and today I planted cabbages.
In my overwintered bed, the green onions and the garlic I planted last fall are coming in strong.
I did the garlic bed because I got given a bag of sprouting garlic last fall and I figured I just needed somewhere to plant it. I also used the bed to dump a lot of my maple leaves for mulch. It does seem to work, and hopefully it didn't delay the garlic sprouting much

No discernible stench, but it seems to me as if it could be decayed to a much much higher level. I tried growing some seeds in it and nothing sprouted. But my corn and zucchini seem to like it, mixed with my natural heavy clay soil.

Horde mind.
I was going to suggest checking out hay-bale gardening.
It seemed to add a bunch of bulk and broke down to nice mulch.
I like finding someone that makes wood chips (tree service) and checking out what they do with the chips. Some are fine and some are coarse. I used 2 tons of the fine, mulched, to fille 4x2x8 foot planters, that was work.
The vegetables loved those raised beds.

You're welcome. To me, if you wait and bought at the end of the growing season, with a discount, then used next year, they would be fine.
But as is, not quite ready for prime time. Close, but no cigar. When it comes to soil I ask myself, 'Would I find worms in this soil?'
If yes, great! If not, gotta work on it some. You would not find worms in that raised bed soil as it is now.

I have a lot of English walnut trees, and a few peaches. We learned years ago that the squirrels were going to get all the walnuts. They work the area in a gang. It's the peaches that make me irked. Squirrels think the young peach looks like a walnut with the outer husk still on, so they pick it, take a bite, realize it's only a peach, and throw it down. Over and over.

The cell tower in the disguise of a saguaro looks like it'll work, at least better than than thing that looks like a giant artificial Christmas tree from the '50s setting on the south side of I80 east of Sacramento.
My wife grew the black tomatoes the first year they came out (from either Oregon State or Washinton State). They tasted pretty much like a tomato except the skin was tough. I think they were supposed to be higher in some vitamins, but she never grew them again, because they were small and the yield per plant was low.

Last we tried, Miracle Gro was pretty wretched stuff. We use a mixture of our homemade compost and commercial sourced from a local nursery - which is itself not as good as when it was apparently decayed sawdust from defunct mills.

US191 is not bad through Utah, except for the last 5 or so miles before the AZ border, probably to get you used to how bad the AZ section is. And if you think that's bad, take the shortcut to Holbrook of Indian 15 from Burnside to AZ 77. Since you said northern AZ, I assume your not referring to the stretch which used to be US666, which is terrible in a car, but a hell of a kick on a motorcycle.

In the outside garden: re-planted part of orange carrot row. Ditto lettuce (zero sprouts from 1st batch). Added 2 more spinach seeds and more radish seeds. Planted 20 green beans in a raised bed. Added more potatoes to potato bags. Planted out 2 of the 4 broccolini starts. Took 2 strawberry plants I had captured in trays under the lilacs, and put them in their new bed (3rd tray left under the lilacs - it's a backup, if one of the others fails).
In the mini-greenhouse: Took indoor starts away from their grow-light and out to the greenhouse. Took heating pad off starts already in greenhouse. We're trying to open the door flaps every day to keep hardening off the tomatoes, etc.
Bearded iris is budding, under the flowering redbud, next to the flowering white dogwood. Lilies of the valley are budding. Lilacs are blooming - sparsely, this year.
We spent this afternoon planting a new 'Autumn Blaze' maple we bought yesterday. We moved some of the removed sod to dead spots. Husband went out to get compost earlier, so we could do this project.

May the power be with you
But PG&E in California plans to bury electrical cable
in similar landscapes
California now holds the ignominious prize for the highest electricity rates in the nation, except Hawaii. How did we get into this predicament? Because the California Public Utilities Commission -- the five-member agency appointed by Governor Gavin Newsom that regulates the prices, service and reliability of private energy utilities -- has failed to do its job. There are other government entities that hand out cookies to energy companies without a care for who pays the bill. But the buck stops at the Public Utilities Commission to protect utility customers. When a private utility like PG&E decides it needs to build new infrastructure -- say, to protect against wildfires -- it's the commission that determines if the infrastructure is necessary, if the utility's proposed costs for that infrastructure are fair, and if better and cheaper alternatives exist. The commission enjoys limited scrutiny by the courts. Decisions made by other state agencies can be appealed to Superior Court. But only an appellate court can hear commission appeals, and taking that case is discretionary. This limited judicial review means that the Public Utilities Commission essentially answers to the governor alone. As a former commission president, I know what keeping energy prices down requires . . .Guess who wrote that? Give up? Anyway, that was originally published on April 20. Big rate increases were passed for PG&E customers, not only for electricity, but also for advertisements so PG&E could tell customers what a great thing it was that they were being charged for PG&E burying electrical cables.
I recently noted that Los Angeles passed a "Mansion Tax" that had the elites in the area scrambling to sell their properties and contributing to the mass of "Left-ugees" now fleeing California. The number of left-ugees will likely explode, fueled by the latest scheme now being proposed. Since California's energy rates are skyrocketing, power companies propose income-based pricing in response to an Assembly bill. If you live in California, your electricity bill could soon be affected by how much money you earn, and your bill will start to look different by 2025.
California's three largest power companies - Southern California Edison, Pacific Gas & Electric, and San Diego Gas & Electric - submitted a joint proposal to the Public Utilities Commission outlining a fixed rate restructuring that would be based on one's income. Here are the numbers being put forth for consideration: Put simply, the more you earn the more you pay for recurring charges (not related to energy usage) . . .Anyway, on to April 26: Who killed California utility bill legislation?
A bill to rein in a proposed monthly fee on California electric bills has been quietly shelved in the Assembly without receiving a single vote. Assembly Bill 1999, written by Assemblymember Jacqui Irwin, was a response to the California Public Utilities Commission's proposal on fixed charges. The version to be voted on next month would let California's largest for-profit utility companies charge customers $24 per month -- with fees as low as $6 for lower-income customers -- as a kind of membership fee for the power grid. In exchange, power providers would be required to lower the rate that customers pay for every unit of electricity consumed. Customers who draw relatively little from the grid -- including those with solar panels -- would likely face higher overall bills. Customers who buy more electricity from the utilities are more likely to see their bills decline. Irwin's legislative rejoinder would have capped the set fees at $10 per month -- and just $5 for lower income customers. But that effort appears to be on ice, though Rivas' office says that while the bill will not move forward in its current form, talks with Irwin on possible amendments are ongoing. Bills that cost the state money, like AB 1999, have until today to make it out of their first policy committees. . .See the political details at the link.
The magic juice. It ebbs, it flows, sometimes it just dang shuts off. Old timers in Southern California - like we were, having lived in Orange County during the golden 80s decade thru early 90s - love to tell the youngsters of today about the times they've never really experienced. Cheap water - our water bill ran about $12 every...TWO MONTHS. There was natural gas for stoves and the furnace (the one night out of a thousand winter night you might need it), and there was electricity...ALWAYS...at 6.5? kwhr. San Onofre, Diablo Canyon, the coal plant in Carlsbad - Southern California Edison had it humming along, and life was good.
The infrastructure hasn't kept up with the state's population needs itself, less mind the grandiose plans, mandates, and deadlines imposed on citizens and utilities alike. They're also hamstrung by regressive progressive policies as far as proper fire control for the semi-arid desert scrub most of them inhabit. Every year CA burns. Every year aging powerlines fall into scrub and brush that was never cleared or control burned off to minimize that very outcome. And instead of using proper fire suppression techniques? Every year it's lather, rinse, repeat. The aging lines and poles stay the same, and the power to customers gets turned off "just in case" when the Santa Anas start to blow. Like now. . .California really was a Golden State before all of this . . . They sure financed some fancy, if useless, environmental experiments through the power companies (and by the state) instead of clearing brush.

Funny thing has happened on the way to the glorious "energy transition" to a net-zero economy: environmentalists keep getting in the way. It is well understood that the maniacal drive to install massive wind and solar power projects, not to mention large new battery farms and "carbon-capture" facilities, all require substantial expansion and upgrading of the electricity grid. When Sen. Joe Manchin finally capitulated in 2022 to supporting President Joe Biden's blowout "green energy" subsidy bill (the so-called "Inflation Reduction Act"), it was supposed to be part of a deal in which regulatory and permitting reform would follow, not only to allow for a natural gas pipeline in West Virginia that is dear to Manchin, but other infrastructure projects, especially to enable new green energy supplies. But the permitting reform legislation never passed Congress. Environmental fundamentalists, including 70 Democratic House members, opposed any permitting reform. The chief achievement of decades of environmental activism is the patchwork of laws at the national and state level, such as the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), that have empowered environmentalists to slow and sometimes block development of all kinds. While NEPA and its state-level versions have not stopped all development, they can delay or increase the cost of projects sufficiently that many projects are simply deterred from even being proposed. When one lawsuit fails, environmental lawyers are often ready at the courthouse steps to file a dozen more, and the cycle of delay repeats. Environmentalists are loath to give up their superpower, even for the supposed "climate change" kryptonite of "green energy." . .The Sierra Club is irritating to people in California for obstructing their access to undeveloped land for recreation and such. The details here are interesting.
The Sierra Club, for example, has spent six years blocking a proposed transmission line intended to import emission-free hydropower from Canada. The Sierra Club has also opposed proposed solar power projects in California's desert areas. (The silver lining here is that the Sierra Club is in deep financial trouble at the moment, with internal rifts and mass layoffs imminent, according to The New Republic.) The Washington Post editorial page took note of this perverse state of affairs in a recent editorial, "Environmentalism Could Stop the Clean-Energy Transition."Heh. There's more. Fun reading.
He used to get up in the morning and sit at the window to drink his coffee, listen to the birds sing, and balance a sneaker on his head. "I've got too much pride for somebody who's got so much to be humble about," he once said. "And trying to keep a stinking shoe from falling off the top of my head is a good way to get a little humility to start the day." But I think he had plenty to be proud of. Tex Ritter dubbed him "The Storyteller." Johnny Cash called him the best in the business. Kurt Vonnegut said "I'm glad that he writes songs instead of short stories or a lot of us would be out of work." Critics called him a Hillbilly Poet and the Countryfried Philosopher. The rest of us called the same thing his sainted momma called him -- Tom. Tom T. Hall was to writing songs what George Jones was to singing them: natural, unassuming, peerless. Admittedly, Tom wasn't a great singer, but boy could he spin a yarn. He didn't so much write songs as translate life into lyrics. A Tom T. Hall tune was never an abstract meditation, never untethered and ephemeral. His melodies were concrete, incarnate creatures who first walked around in cracking leather boots upon this tired earth long before they ever crawled into our ears to rest. In a word, his songs were real.
His first hit, "A Week in a Country Jail" was drawn from his own experience of being arrested and held seven days for a speeding ticket while the judge, who had just lost his mother, apparently needed a full week to grieve before handling arraignments. "Harper Valley PTA," the chart-topper he wrote for Jeannie C. Reilly, was about a widow woman from his hometown in Kentucky. "The Ballad of Forty Dollars" was drawn from his time spent working as a gravedigger in his youth. "The Year that Clayton Delaney Died" was indeed biographical with only the names changed. And "Old Dogs, Children, and Watermelon Wine" was a retelling of a conversation he had in a barroom outside the Democratic National Convention. Such examples could be multiplied. . .More at the link.

And the lawyers were probably paid for doing so.
One of the little secrets of "environmental litigation" is that left-wing judges often award "legal fees" to left-wing environmental organizations when they sue governments or large corporations. These fees can amount to many millions of dollars.

We seldom have raging forest fires like California does.
And back in a former life, the little sleepy town of Gaeta Italy was where we were stationed for about seven years.
And those crazy Italians would set the sides of the mountain on fire even year.

A lot of the cooking there is done on "three rocks" or on a raised couple of rows of brick and a gridiron, which is dangerous for kids and women wearing dresses, and is dirty, dusty and toxic for lungs.
In Southern Mexico the development groups are pushing the "Patsari" stoves, which can either use traditional comal-type cooking surfaces or actual stove lids for pots like the old cast iron ranges we used here. They are designed for efficient use of heat and safety for the kids to be around and have chimneys so they are more healthy even when they are burning old 5-gal plastic buckets for fuel, which is not unusual.
You might suggest she look at the PATSARI stove design, and see if they can push that or start some sort of program to get those built.
and let me know, please

Yeah, they're pretty wind resistant, but earthquakes and floods and unplanned excavation can be a real bear -- not to mention, real bears. And a short or break creates an instant and often invisible killing zone, along with about the same fire hazard as a downed line. Oh well.

Commercial cutting also clears out the forest, as does pre-commercial thinning in reducing fire dangers. The important thing is to reduce crown density which lets understory plants grow for critters and cycling of nutrients, reduces the density of fuel in the crowns if the fire gets into the canopy, and really reduces the intensity of the fires.
If the understory burns regularly to clear itself out, then the fires are less intense. In the west, douglas fir, lodgepole, redwood and sequoia are all adapted to regular fires, and some species actually require fire to open up the cones for reseeding.

In the mid 2000’s they were buying solar for $0.5/kwh. Basically what we are paying now in the public. But they kept rates lower because at the time is a was a small percentage. And they also cut back on maintenance.
Recently, they have been on a battery buying spree. Every year I would ask upper management why we don’t build more pump storage instead of batteries. But the answer is simple. A pump storage facility is a pain to build because of the environmentalists, even if it will last for a century.
Batteries? Everyone loves them! Best of all, they cost a fortune, need to replaced every ten years, and as a capital expense pay PG&E 10% of the cost in profit. What’s not to like?

Out my bedroom window I look at the branches from a neighbor's tulip poplar. A friend runs a tree service company and refers to the tulip poplar as a "weed tree" I've come to appreciate it.
In about ten days it goes from zero leaves to fully leafed out and the transition does so much to lift my spirit. It's time to sleep with the windows open and wake up listening to the birds.
Soon the tree's "tulip" blossoms will appear with colorful yellows and greens.
It may be a "weed" to a guy with a chainsaw, but it's a thing of beauty to me.

‘Giant Methane Factories’
https://tinyurl.com/mrf86ddw
...found that the reservoirs created by dams are notable sources of both carbon dioxide and methane, a potent greenhouse gas that’s about 80 times more effective at trapping heat ... hydropower makes up at least 1.3 percent of total global carbon emissions—though many scientists believe it’s likely higher.
Researchers say that methane is one of the biggest issues with hydropower. As organic matter, including vegetation, dead animals and even fertilizer runoff, gets carried downstream, it piles up in large quantities behind dams and decomposes in the reservoirs.
Some research, like this 2016 study published in Environmental Research Letters found that the greenhouse gas emissions produced from many hydroelectric dams—such as Nevada’s iconic Hoover Dam—can even rival the emissions generated by fossil fuel power plants

What’s iironic, California used to be the model of good government and national representatives from around the planet used to travel there to learn. LAPD, the CADOT, their infrastructure projects, dams, everything.
Maybe the Sierra Club was right all along about all those millions of illegal migrants ruining “the environment”, eh?

It's also true that most people have no idea how much influence they have on others. They seem to think the other person has to acknowledge they've been affected by something you say, in order for that influence to have occurred.

Rag men. Newspaper men. Scrap men. Plastic is not generally re-usable, not the way people might think. It isn’t a matter of “melting it down”. Doesn’t work that way.
The very best way to deal with much of it, is to burn it. This is unacceptable to people who don’t even understand the issues.
Think of the fleets of diesel trucks and crews, the expense of driving around suburbia picking up and sorting trash. Boutique segregation of useless materials, ultimately virtue signaling city finances right down the fucking drain.
What they REALLY need is Rechargeable Garbage Trucks to pick up those empty but dutifully rinsed organic Argula containers.

Nest at the time told them that was to provide a psychological blanket, so to speak, and my colleague told them we can’t support an inaccurate product.

That way, if EPA pollutes a river and settles a lawsuit, those citizens directly harmed get paid, the EPA loses part of its budget, but the taxpayer is not harmed (since the penalty goes right back to the general treasury).

According to my utility reports, my home usage is 20% more electricity efficient than my 'Most Efficient' neighbors. I mostly blame my wife who hangs clothes outside to dry most of the time. She loves this relatively lightweight and portable contraption for hanging clothes:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077ZQ9W6G/
I also lug my portable solar panel and 2K battery outside on sunny days to recharge all my batteries for chain saw, weed-wacker, leaf blower, hedge trimmer, etc. It's kinda surprising the power needed to recharge those batteries. As much power as it takes to keep my refrigerator running for four hours.
I plan to be able to survive a 24 month loss of power and help a small number (maybe four homes) of my neighbors* with some essentials; at the very least - water.
Maybe it's the kind of thing that a small number of like-minded people could share the expense of procuring. A little bit of electricity is still 100% better then none at all.

A busy friend calls us to chat while she's out running errands. One of her errands is a 20-minute drive to take her kitchen scraps to a place that composts them. She collects the scraps and stores them in her freezer until it's time for her weekly drive to the compost facility.
I cannot think of a more wasteful way to deal with kitchen scraps. She uses electricity and freezer space to keep them from rotting at home and gasoline and her valuable time to deliver them to a place for them to rot and then be transported to a bagging facility (in plastic!) and then delivered to retailers by truck so that homeowners can buy it.
Can you tell that she cares about the environment?
Me, I toss my scraps in the compost bin and then dump the bin into planting holes whenever I plant veggies and flowers. No driving or freezer space required. But my voter registration and county color on an electoral map says I don't care about the erf.

The very first thing I noticed about them was that the comparison was not to "watts per square foot" or some other ratio; it was total usage defined as "efficiency." A lot of houses in my 'neighborhood' are between 900 and 1500 square feet.
Mine is 3600. Boy, they thought I was just awful.
We voted in a special tax on ourselves to have all those recyclables collected and sorted. When it turned out that most of it wasn't actually being sorted, they quietly cancelled the contract. The tax did not go down.

Fresh food waste in a compost heap will draw in any local scavengers, and that includes raccoon, groundhog, opossum and skunk. They'll burrow in and nest over the winter, then eat your garden shoots. So I only put the coffee grounds and eggshells in the pile, with wood ash from the stove.
We vacuum up the leaves, and the grass twice a year. The bin is two walls of unmortared old concrete block, and piles of brick. This makes it workable with the tractor bucket. I often get six or eight yards of new soil a year. Lot of dirt.

this is a serious issue, so many municipalities and counties have taken "infrastructure loans" to build out public works like bridges and highways and even less useful things that they can"t afford the maintenance, and need to keep taking those infrastructure loans and covid funds and other becas to keep up and continue to build out just to keep functioning.

This country is being destroyed. You can pretend it's not, but it is. And they're going to succeed, in part because people like you have put your hope in Donald Trump.
He's not the answer. He never was, and it's almost comical how everyone in DC has run circles around him, while he gets off on bragging about what he's done. Which is squat.
My hope comes from enough people to stop putting their hope in politicians. Any of them. I don't know that a true revolution is possible, or would even succeed, but it's better to say let's get on with it, than pretending Donald Trump is going to fix things.

That summabitch and his crew were breaking the windows that Ashli Babbit tried to crawl through. Every time a window was broken his camera moved away. I hope he gets @ss f'd every day of his six years.
He was also caught on camera the evening of J5 with Roy Epps.

The fact that this gets released on the weekend with little information as to charges tells me 100% the fix is in, so I'm not going to disagree with you at all.
If he starts spilling the beans while in jail, he gets the shiv.
Believe me, he has beans to spill. Especially why he's caught on video and image next to Roy Epps on J5.
But we're stupid. According to them.

Discover the Networks on "Earth Justice": https://bit.ly/3QheMCj
Earthjustice’s “Judging the Environment” campaign seeks to derail conservative judicial appointments by Republican Presidents, on the theory that such appointees are insensitive to environmental protection issues. A chief target of “Judging the Environment” was William Myers, nominated by President Bush in 2004 to the 9th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals. Earthjustice dubbed Myers “the most anti-environmental nominee in history.” Like Alliance for Justice and People for The American Way, Earthjustice objected to the appointment of Myers on grounds that he had worked as a lobbyist for mining and cattle interests in the Western United States. Myers’ appointment was eventually blocked by the filibuster of Democratic senators.

If you're gonna burn garbage, you want to do it at a central facility. They have furnaces tuned to the source material, and it's cleaner, and they can harvest steam for some other purpose.
Solar sort of makes sense in Arizona. I can't have it because I don't own my lot. But for homes with tile roofs, and we have many many of those, the installers will break tiles and walk away or do something dumb like gluing them back together.
Note I wrote *will.* Roof tiles are amazing good at defending your home from Mother Nature. They are very vulnerable to minor human activity, though.

In February 2001, California governor Gray Davis stated, "Believe me, if I wanted to raise rates I could have solved this problem in 20 minutes."
Electric blackouts tend to concentrate the minds of voters. And California is teetering on the brink of major blackouts.
Unit 1 at the Diablo Canyon nuclear plant is due to permanently shut down on Nov. 2, 2024, a few days before Election Day. Institute rolling blackouts and even the numbskulls in California might vote Republican.
If they did, they would effectively guarantee the recall of Joe Biden.

Wanna know what I suspect to be true?
PG&E was extorted into expending a majority of its resources into building expensive, and with minimal financial returns, renewable energy systems (solar). This left no money for maintenance on the existing infrastructure. But there were still enough dividends to keep investors on board.
I’d also bet anyone, that the PUC board is comprised of ex-PG&E bigwigs with giant stock holdings in the company.

The Classical Saturday Morning Coffee Break & Prayer Revival (4/27/24)
2) Be kind to one another. Or at least don't leave marks.
3) No running with sharp objects.
4) Have a nice weekend.
AoSHQ Weekly Prayer List Please submit any prayer requests to me, “Annie’s Stew” at apaslo atsign hotmail dot com. Prayer requests are generally removed after four weeks unless we receive an update. Prayer Requests: 3/2 Reforger asked for prayers for his Coworker “D”, a widowed mom of 4 who is having a rough time with daughter #1. D’s daughter had to be incarcerated. She went nuts, trashed her room, broke things, and even kicked a cop. She could use a lot of prayers.
4/20 Update – Coworker D’s daughter is going to go live with her dad. Mom is at wit’s end. They hope a change in scenery will provoke some positive changes, since nothing else is working. 2/29 – DaveT asks for prayers. We had prayed in the past for him, as he was trying to save his cats and his home from repossession (due to a relative who burdened the family home with debt). DaveT is over 65 and is not able to work much. The cats are elderly and one is blind, and the only family he has. Things had turned around and it looked like he was going to be fine last summer, but now a new judge is on the case and seems to want to kick DaveT and the cats out of the house. Please pray. If anyone wants to contribute, Annie’s Stew has the details of his GiveSendGo.
3/20 Update – The sham trial took place on 3/20. The judge would not allow DaveT to speak or give any evidence. He is still taking donations for a new appeal.
4/19 Update – DaveT sent word that he was in desperate need. One of the cats was dying and DaveT was not able to bear the loss, and he did not have a reason to live anymore.
4/25 Update – No new information has come from DaveT. He has not responded to emails, so we do not know his status or situation. 3/3 – Commissar of Plenty and Lysenkoism in Solidarity with the Struggle to maintain Moron standards asked for prayers as he is scared to death of some much-needed surgery. Pain, healing, iyiyi! Even the red tape involved in scheduling. Thank you all again!
4/10 Update – Recovering from diverticulitis surgery. It’s rough. Much pain, and there is talk of another surgery. He is miserable. 3/9 – Hadrian the Seventh asked for prayers for Her Majesty, who is having knee replacement surgery. He’d like prayers for a successful operation, but also an uneventful recovery. Her previous surgery in 2019 (on the other knee) was marked by great pain and the effect of the medication was terrible.
4/13 Update – Her Majesty is on a cane now and doing very well. The downside is that now she’s no longer bedridden, she’s going around the house finding things for me to do. She goes to physical therapy twice a week, which is exhausting, but she wants to drive the RV to Washington state in a couple of months for our National Specialty, so she’ll have to put in the work. 3/9 – Dr_No asked for prayers for his daughter, Megan. We had prayed for her in 2021, when she had cancer. Her cancer is still in remission, but she has blood clots in her lungs. She went to the local ER, where they said everything was normal. She sent a message to her PCP, to ask her to review the situation. She is still weak, and gets tired if a conversation lasts more than 1-2 sentences. Please pray that she be restored to full health. Thanks once again to the Horde for the help.
4/13 Update – The shingles have passed the most painful point (the first two weeks), and she’s now mostly pain-free. The colon cancer is still in remission. Thanks so much for sending words up for her recovery. 3/23 – Jewells would appreciate prayers for her niece, who is in the hospital for the second time in a week. She was diagnosed with pneumonia the first time, but still felt awful. She went back to ER, and they admitted her again. Her oxygen level was 76. She is the niece who is fighting cervical cancer.
4/13 Update – They suspended treatment for Jewells’ niece for 6 weeks and have her on oxygen. Her cancer is responding to the treatment, but at an awful price. 3/23 – Fenelon Spoke needs prayers for Jessie, their “retired” organist. Jessie had fallen. Nothing was broken, but it is a setback for her and she is in pain.
4/20 Update – Jessie is in less pain now. 3/28 – Reforger asked for prayers for his wife, who is applying for a promotion. The new job would triple her salary.
4/20 Update – Mrs. Reforger got the job. 3/30 – mindful webworker asked for prayers as he is going under the knife again for what will be a few hours’ surgery and maybe a week in the hospital. His surgeon used the word “mystery” three times while describing what they will be doing.
4/13 Update – After 3 intense hours, the surgeon packed out his pickaxe and jackhammer, weary but confident that he had removed all the cement-like crud blocking mindful webworker’s intestines. The next few months will be spent recovering and healing. After 9 inhospitable days, he is trying to adjust to home life. He’s asked MiladyJo to wake him every couple of hours to check his vital signs. Every day is a gift. Prayers for all in need.
4/1 – News from Washington Nearsider: His savings have expired and May's bills cannot yet be paid. Another custody hearing - to reevaluate the March 13 determination to give his ex full custody - has been scheduled for May 13th, so that's a date on the calendar towards which he has to work.
He has added one (1) client to his custom model aircraft list, and hopes to add several more, even though he can only work on one at a time. Having a known stream of income is better than not. You can contact Nearsider at washingtonnearsider at gee mail to learn about shipping and timelines or to discuss any details. Interested Morons can look at some small segment of his previous work by heading to this link: https://tinyurl.com/yzmucshu
On the job front, Nearsider had a promising interview, only to be told at the end that though his writing samples, resume, attitude, background, and presentation were all exceptional, his removal from federal service prevented any path forward. Nearsider explained the details leading up to his removal, and while the panel expressed their sympathies for his situation and their admiration at his courage, their position was unchanged. He suspects this employer was simply the first to be so direct, and that he's missed out on several other opportunities for the same reason.
Several contractors have contacted him in response to applications he's submitted and he's hoping at least one of them will be willing to focus on the writing, resume, attitude, background, and presentation vice the end of his federal career. As usual, more follows.
Since several people encouraged it, he has set up a GiveSendGo account. Please contact Annie for the details, if you wish to contribute.
4/24 Update – After receiving an overwhelming outpouring of support from the Horde, Washington Nearsider was able to pay the mortgage for May and June, and is less panicked about losing his house. He also received a promotion at Home Depot, so he is managing a department, which will also increase his pay at bit. He loves you all and is so grateful. 4/3 – Notsothoreau posted that Mrs. Salty (as in Mrs. NaClyDog) had a bad fall and broke four ribs. She tested positive for Covid, as well. Prayers for quick healing and that she is out of the hospital soon.
4/13 Update – Mrs. Salty is out of the hospital, recovering slowly. There is progress. She avoided the bogus Covid-19 Wuhan money grab in the hospital. She is a tad more independent. Occasionally she needs a non-skilled, uncoordinated, non-dancing or singing helper, whom TikTok would not show. They say thank you for all the prayers. They can testify to their effectiveness. 4/4 – J. J. Sefton could use prayers. Here was his posting:
“After suffering some sort of seizure back in February, while the initial MRI and spinal tap showed nothing, a subsequent MRI this past Friday evidently seems to indicate that I might have some sort of brain tumor/growth that would require immediate attention. As in surgery.
That said, on a positive note -- and I'm holding onto this bit of news as positive with all my might -- the medical neurology team and the surgical neurology team are apparently still reading the tea leaves to see what kind of surgery, if any, is required to deal with this. I am hoping against hope for that non-surgical option but am preparing myself as best as I can for whatever is to be.” 4/5 – Teej posted and asked for prayers for a Marine who is on hospice, with possibly two weeks left to live. 4/5 – Pipe asked for prayers for a dear friend who has lung cancer, who lives alone. 4/6 – MikeOxlong requested prayers for healing and that treatment goes well, He was diagnosed with stage 5 esophageal cancer that has spread to his lymph nodes and lungs. Traditional treatment doesn’t have a good answer, so he is taking non-traditional treatment in AZ. 4/6 – Grammie Winger posted that Rev had some tests done and he has a cracked sternum from their earlier car accident. They also found several nodules in his lungs, and an aortic aneurysm. Prayers appreciated. 4/6 – RedMindBlueState asked for prayers for an old and dear friend who just started chemo and is feeling it hard. And for the friend’s dog, who may need surgery soon. 4/6 – Paisley1333 gave an update. We had prayed for her trainer, who went through her third round of cancer in December. The trainer’s surgery was successful, and it appears they got all the cancer. While under the knife, she had a seizure (which she has daily), so the doctors got to experience that and changed her meds. This has been a huge help. So very good news and so grateful for all the prayers. 4/8 – FenelonSpoke asked for prayers for her husband. He was stubborn and didn’t go to the doctor for about 5 days and has shingles. He is in pain.
4/20 Update – FenSpouse is much better. He still has a little tingling but the pain from the shingles is much better. 4/10 – FortWorthMike updated the Horde. His MIL, who was going through cancer treatments, had miraculous results. The tumor is reduced so much, there is no sign of cancer. They won’t say cancer-free, but it’s just something to monitor now. 4/13 – NaughtyPine asked for prayers. There was a “psychic” who went on a murder-suicide rampage. A 9-year-old girl survived the attack, but her baby sister died in her arms. The surviving little girl needs prayers. 4/13 – Ace-Endorsed Author A.H. Lloyd gave an update. His former son-in-law has died. It is something of a relief. He was an abusive, manipulative, drug-using alcoholic whose hobby was breaking into cars. He was well-known to law enforcement and the justice system. He had a remarkable capacity for wiping out wealth, either through outright theft or negligence. A.H. Lloyd’s daughter tried to leave him multiple times, but he was able to woo her back again and again. The last straw was when he used their tax refund for an Only Fans girl. The deceased is survived by his children, who he should have supported, but have been in A.H. Lloyd’s care for more than a year. Pray for the deceased if you like, but please pray for the children and their mother. 4/13 – Cybersmythe sent an update on his job search. He has received a formal offer of employment, for a job he thinks he wants. He appreciates all the kind thoughts and prayers. 4/13 – Nurse Ratched asked for prayers for her Marine, J, and his wife, M, who are having their wedding celebration on 4/13. They are sweet kids, respectful and kind to each other and would benefit greatly from the power of Horde prayers. 4/16 – Notsothoreau asked for prayers for a co-worker’s mentor and long time friend, DM, who has been diagnosed with throat cancer. Prayers for DM and also for his wife, that they would be strengthened and, God willing, that DM would be healed. 4/18 – Misanthropic Humanitarian asked for prayers, as he will be having his right knee replacement surgery on 5/6/24. 4/20 – AnchorPoint wanted to share an answered prayer, as well as a request. The answered prayer is: AnchorPoint’s dad passed away about 2 years ago. The estate was not going to be a windfall, but they hoped it would be enough to pay off their mortgage. After all the work was done and all the bills were paid, the final check was $72.38 off from the total mortgage payoff amount! The prayer request is: AnchorPoint’s relationship with one sister is bad. The sister has had a lot of trauma in her life and significant mental health issues and physical issues. AnchorPoint asks for prayers that their relationship would be restored. 4/20 – FenelonSpoke asked for prayers for her son. God willing, her son will graduate in May with a degree in horticulture. He has a paid internship with a multinational agricultural company in the PA Dutch area starting right after graduation. He needs to find a place to live. 4/20 – Defenestratus humbly requests prayers for a friend named Jourdan, a wonderful young woman with a 2-year-old daughter. Jourdan had gotten the good news that her breast cancer tumors had disappeared after chemo. But now she caught a nasty bug, and Jourdan has spent a week in the hospital getting blood transfusions. 4/20 - Miley, okravangelist asked for prayers for her brother. They think he is on the verge of a breakdown, stressing out over prepping. He flies off the handle and is freaking everyone else out. Miley could use prayers, too, since worrying about her brother is making her ill.
For submission guidelines and other relevant info, please contact Annie's Stew, who is managing the prayer list. You can contact her at apaslo at-sign hotmail dot com. If you see a prayer request posted in a thread comment, feel free to copy and paste it and e-mail it to Annie's Stew. She tries to keep up with the requests in the threads, but she's not here all of the time, so she may not see it unless you e-mail it to her. Please note: Prayer requests are generally removed after four weeks or so unless we receive an update. 2 Corinthians 4:8-9
We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair, persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed.

Mis Hum, for your knee surgery make sure you get your pain medications set straight and can control their side effects. Doing this made a big difference in the post-operative course between her first and second replacements.

Good advice.
I had my left one replaced in Dec 2013.
June 2014 I had a revision to it.
When they say they practice medicine that is true.
I don't have side issues with opioids. So i'm good there. The bouncing setters will have to learn to spend time away from me.

I've had knee problems for longer than I care to remember. And I've seen a lot of doctors. The Fab and I are quite confident in this one. He is a new cutter for me. But, then again it is in God's hands.

On the whole, yes. I still have to drive her to her appointments but she gets around the house without a cane now. She's going in to see the doctor this week about a stitch that's still weeping.

It's also time for spring cleaning, and finally rationalizing what we have here. The former son-in-law's death has brought needed clarity to our domestic situation. I think my daughter hoped that he'd have a miraculous conversion or something, straightening out his life and supporting her and the children. As we have seen, that was never going to happen, so now we can make more realistic plans to get her life back on track.

Thanks AZ
The right knee has had 2 scopes and now replacement.
The left was replaced and had 1 revision. Before that 4 surgeries including an ACL replacement back in the dark days of medicine.
I really do appreciate the prayers. Thank you each and every one.

MisHum: God bless you on the knee fix. MiladyJo has so recovered from her hip replacements that this morning she took the dog for a walk and they let me sleep. I'm so delighted and impressed with her. The neighbor's son-in-law has had both knees done. He says, do the exercise-therapy. I'm told the knee fix is a little tougher than the hips. But the docs really seem to have this stuff down. You should end up better.
Did that make any sense? Can't tell before coffee.

The whole idea of OS/2 and Microchannel Architecture was that it would interconnect IBM PCs and IBM minis/mainframes and run on both. Microchannel was a bear when it came to adding anything to the bus, whether a video card or a hard drive. It involved rituals, codes, sacrifices and a first-born. You had to know some abstruse number for the drive. Reminded me of very early PCS and hard drives. Too complicated.

I was recruited to a certain router company that was builiding this new group that was going to sell to this new industry that was springing up called Internet Service Providers. There were 13 of us in the group the first year and most looked at us with pity that we were stuck in a group that was clearly just a fad.
I've never been assoicated with any industry before or since that grew and changed like we did in those early years.

Especially today. I don't really understand it. I always listened to my parents, and still consult them. I suspect it is part of the internet age, where parents are presumed stupid and smart stuff is online.
In the case of my eldest, she's been very prideful since she met her ex, consistently doing the opposite of what I said, and now that I've been vindicated, she's still looking for ways to defy me. On the plus side, last night we talked about things and she's asked for my help on a few issues. So we'll see how it goes.
I've also pointed out that there is a widows support group in our parish that might do her some good.

We had a "mainframe group" of IT nerds and a "Microsoft/Novell/PC" group of IT nerds. We did not coexist very well. Some of us did "cross-over" work with the OS/2 and PowerPC stuff, but IMO this was a huge failure on IBM's part. Should have stuck with mainframes.

What I'm excited about is that I'm doing my first flower garden, because my four year old is obsessed with flowers, so I'm making her a place to go and see them whenever she wants. Did annuals last week. Delphinums, geraniums, snapdragons, and petunias. Going shopping for perennials today.
Also, this is my second spring in this house. Last year, we had a late frost that killed all the flowers on my cherry blossom. No frost this year, but they died off pretty quickly anyway, which disappointed me, until I realized that it's not a cherry blossom. With no frost, it revealed itself as an actual cherry tree. Cherries all over the dang thing. Hundreds of 'em!
I can't wait to eat those cherries.

The Jordie Nelson herd is thriving on the new prairie grass. The herd seems a bit smaller than usual, with less calves.
He followed the local practice to burn his land, and the grass comes back with 15% more protein. I saw the fire came close to, but on on, the outbuildings.

Mine, too! I had a few last year, but the birds kept a close watch and snatched them just as they were ripening. I WILL net the tree this year.
And my peach tree survived the frosts, it looks like. Last year, the little peaches all froze off in a late frost. This year, there are hundreds of little peaches--I am so hoping the frost is over, because I want those peaches this year!

But, I'm worried about if cardinals eat cherries, because I can't bring myself to kill them. I love cardinals, and even if I didn't my older daughter knows them all on sight and has names for them. She'd probably shoot me with the AK if I take out one of her cardinals.

Multi-tasking isn't possible.
Humans might do two things simultaneously like driving and drinking a cup of coffee, but the success of those are mostly the results of something similar to muscle memory.
Actual activities requiring attention and thought? It's not possible. That's why it's stressful and unhealthy.

Yes, we have the seen same with a bluebird pair that is nesting in our yard. Crazy, right?
Posted by: San Franpsycho at April 27, 2024 09:46 AM
I've never seen the bluebirds do the seed passing, but I do see the male and female feed at the same time. Because there aren't any robins around building nests and getting dirty I'm putting seed in my empty bird bath. Otherwise those big old bluebirds couldn't feed next to each other.

Vintage convertible is possibly stupid. $7000 1999-2015 or so Miata that is ridiculously reliable, fuel injected, and doesn't require any unusual maintenance beyond oil changes is not stupid.
Also you'll be able to sell it for pretty much what you paid for it.

I bought a used one from a friend in the fall, detailed the heck out of it in the winter, then sold it for a very tidy profit in the spring. I don't think I ever rode once in it with the top down. The interior was kinda cold in winter, even with the heater full blast.

That was the first thing outside of groceries that we noticed rampant inflation on. We used to keep sunflower seed in seven feeders in the yard. 50lb bag of seed was $13.
Very soon after 2021 it became a 40lb bag for $25-30.
The birds get one feeder filled every other day, and we'll fill everything on the weekends we're going to be home.

I'm not in an area where chipped beef is a thing, but I always thought it was more a sauce than a gravy. Gravy made properly involves the drippings of the meat and a certain degree of browning (Maillard?) that introduces flavor to the mixture.
chipped beef in a Southern gravy on toast is probably really good. Someone should try that.

I don't get the convertible thing either. Living in the mid-west, there are only a handful of days where driving one would be enjoyable.
And on those days, I see convertibles with their tops up. They're loud, and surprisingly, heavier than hard tops.

You might want to check out a GPR* service provider, as you have the means. Ground Penetrating Radar will find voids, which are indicative of graves. Burying a body disrupts the ground considerably, and is evident for a long time.

I am well aware of the uses and limitations of GPR. The site is an unused and undeveloped section of a remote rural property. No concern about disrupting existing landscaping or structures, and full consent of the current property owner.

I'm not saying this has anything to do with what was being discussed on this thread, but the other irritating part is that the end of anything - or at least a massive slowdown that might as well be an effective end - can come about because someone calls their friend and says "Hey, we were helping out this guy and I think we've found something interesting, is there anything you can tell me about X?"
And two days later the friend calls back and says "Listen, between us, cut that out because that's tied to something we aren't ready or able to investigate" or "Stop because we don't need that being opened back up", and suddenly it's the job of the government employee friend that's at risk because the government employee boss told him that directly.
And it can easily work the other direction, too. Need to charge the president for something? Hey, here's a traffic court judge to help!

Check out usradar dot com
Archaeological Applications for Ground Penetrating Radar
Ground penetrating radar aids archaeologists who need accurate subsurface data to inform their decisions on where to dig and how deep. Depending on the model used & its penetration depth, the archaeologist can use GPR to help uncover findings like:
Buried buildings and foundations
Forgotten infrastructure (trenches, waterways, cisterns, etc.)
Underground tunnels and voids
Buried military paraphernalia
Bones, human or otherwise
Lost & unmarked graves, coffins, etc.
Other misc. artifacts
There very well may be someone with the equipment who's would "consult" on this.

I think it's more likely bureaucratic paralysis. Plus, the CBI is taking some heat for long-standing irregularities with DNA handling by their crime lab, so are undoubtedly hypersensitive about forensic procedures.

What you saw the cardinals doing by sharing seeds is called courtship feeding. It's very common in cardinals but other birds do it as well.
Once the young come along though, it stops. Kind of like humans.

A lot of the cooking there is done on "three rocks" or on a raised couple of rows of brick and a gridiron, which is dangerous for kids and women wearing dresses, and is dirty, dusty and toxic for lungs.
In Southern Mexico the development groups are pushing the "Patsari" stoves, which can either use traditional comal-type cooking surfaces or actual stove lids for pots like the old cast iron ranges we used here. They are designed for efficient use of heat and safety for the kids to be around and have chimneys so they are more healthy even when they are burning old 5-gal plastic buckets for fuel, which is not unusual.
You might suggest she look at the PATSARI stove design, and see if they can push that or start some sort of program to get those built.
and let me know, please

Daily Tech News 27 April 2024
Top Story
- DOS 4 is now open source. (Hanselman)
I never owned a DOS PC, but I know that DOS 4 was the one everyone hated.
Anyway, you can now download it yourself. Warning: It does uses as much as 92k of RAM.
Tech News
- 90% of Java services have critical or severe security vulnerabilities... (JVM Weekly)
... Or security reporting is a pile of crap.
This article explains why it's mostly the latter. Not entirely, but mostly.
- A long-dead worm is still active on at least 2.5 million PCs worldwide. (Ars Technica)
The worm, created by China, was tied to a single specific IP address as its command-and-control hub.
For reasons that remain unclear, whatever server was originally attached to that IP address was shut down. So security researchers bought the address, granting them complete control over every one of the infected systems.
All they are doing so far is watching.
All they are doing so far.
- China's annoying little brother North Korea is targeting developers with fake job interviews that involve downloading and running malware. (Bleeping Computer)
Again.
- Leaving Rust game development. (Loglog)
When you point out that a building is on fire, and the universal response is "That sounds like a you problem", it's time to get out of Dodge.
Not that Rust is bad. Just that the people creating Rust are.
- The Second Circuit has upheld a New York law forcing ISPs to offer 25mbps broadband for $15. (Ars Technica)
Cut the entire state off from the internet and let them eat each other.
- Columbia has a Nazi problem. (The Verge)
"Why didn't anyone tell us that genocide had consequences", cried sophomore Adolfia Hertler. "We're not hurting anyone, we just want to kill Jews."
Well, the article doesn't actually say that, but it should.
- Apple stopped increasing the base RAM in its desktop systems... In 2012. (WCCFTech)
Back then, of course, you could upgrade the memory yourself.
This is no longer the case, and Apple charges ten times retail price for its own upgrades.
- TSMC is bringing optical interconnect to multi-chip modules starting next year. (AnandTech)
The first version will run at 1.6 terabits per second - 200 gigabytes per second, or about three times the speed of a full-size PCIe 5 slot - and will increase to 6.4 terabits per second the following year.
Disclaimer: Which is 8,695,652 copies of DOS 4 per second, which should be enough for anybody.

I can't say I remember Dos 4.0 at all. I was an 'early adopter' of Windows 1.0b and might have skipped it completely.
I was taking a 'Management Information Systems' class in college and turned in a paper I had created in Windows. The pages were filled with text, graphs and images. The prof was impressed and asked how I did it. A program called 'Windows' was my reply.

Some Aussie young women did a video on X talking about rent increases, housing availability, food costs, and immigration. Something like 50 people lined up to apply for a single rental unit.
Something like 150,000 immigrants per month. That's gonna leave a mark, if it hasn't already.

We had some pinheads protesting yesterday afternoon in front of the college that's next door to where I work. The idiots blocked the avenue in the westbound lane. I walked down to look at them. Face diapers galore and chants of "Free Palestine!" I commented to one of the cops standing around, "When has blocking traffic ever changed people's hearts and minds?" He shrugged. "It's more about aggravating people." I said, "I have a solution. Tear gas." He shrugged.

Why so? I bought my house here in New Mexico at the perfect time. I got an extremely cheap mortgage and the house has doubled in value since I bought it in 2019. When I got to New Mexico real estate was grossly undervalued and I knew it couldn't last and I was right. Today home prices are approaching National median prices.

Hello, JQ,
I was worried the pinheads would still be there when I left work. While my path home is on the opposite side, I knew other drivers would be slowing down to look, the same way they do to peer at Death on the Highway. Fortunately they'd knocked off by 2:30 or so.
On the other hand, the ramp I take every day to the bridge will be closed 24/7 as of 5/1. Info on the 'Net seems to indicate it'll be closed until August . . . which around here means November. There are two other routes, but all the ramp users will be taking those too. Though if I retire as I hope to on 5/31, the issue will only hassle me for a month.

This depends on what you expect to do on a Linux machine. Windows games will not run natively no matter how well simulated the environments, and will be much slower or impossibly frustrating when your character dies all the time. Does any game house write games for Linux? Final Fantasy for example? WoW? D&D?
Now office tasks will be fine, letters, spreadsheets and presentations work fine. Email is great. Manipulating pictures and video is also fine.
Drivers for hardware are always an issue. I have a Reolink camera for my kitty room, some of you have used it, and I don't know if there is a Linux driver and software for it.

You are being watched. The government has a secret system, a machine that spies on you every hour of every day. I designed the machine to detect acts of terror but it sees everything. Violent crimes involving ordinary people. The Government considers these people "irrelevant". We don't. Hunted by the authorities, we work in secret. You'll never find us, but victim or perpetrator, if your number's up ... we'll find *you*

Good morning, Hordians. Puppies woke me up at 4:30, so I let out the ones who wanted to go out. Brought them back in later and returned to bed. They started jawing at each other, so I got up again. Let Diana out for a few minutes. Brought her back in and let the puppies out, except George, who needed his medicine. When he was done, he went out too and I went down to the kennel to let out the ones down their and give them their day food. At last, I can have my coffee.

I force the wifey (who hates doing it and often falls asleep) to do a
"Sunday Crossword" online puzzle (Merle Reagle RIP, Washington Compost, NY Slimes, etc.) with me most nights -- to help stave off dementia (my greatest fear) as we progress through our 60s.
Anywho, last night one of the clues was "'O Rei' of soccer" (meaning "King of Football") whose answer was the great "Pelé."
When I looked up his death at age 82 on 29 December 2022 (due to multiple organ failure, a complication of colon cancer), I was surprised to learn that: "He was survived by his 100-year-old mother, Celeste, who, given her advanced age, did not understand her son's death; Pelé's sister Maria Lucia do Nascimento described their mother as 'in her own little world.'"

Although I thought VMS was a superior OS at the time, had a co-worker who (at the time, I thought "laughingly") predicted that Unix would outlast VMS and become a lasting, enduring OS.

My one recommendation is to change the default backups to something less... aggressive. IIRC it does a backup every few hours (literally twice a day I think) by default, and it doesn't take long for that to consume all of your hard drive space and throw error codes and prevent Linux from booting.
Which is not a good thing for someone who is new to Linux.

Sometime in 1990-92: I was at a university in South Africa and we had an Internet connection (actually Fidonet) to somewhere on the Pacific coast. 1200 baud, then 2400. We downloaded Slackware, one 720MB floppy at the time. All 10-40 of them, I don't remember how many. Then installed on a 286 PC. A labor of love.

Yup...but any time a change is proposed whether a "fair" tax or a flat tax some asshole will poopoo it with all the "well, then you got blah blah blah".
The way we collect taxes today is just idiotic but people are too stupid to change or they are gaming the system for their own benefit.

Given that many defense contractors do work on "air gapped" systems and Window 11 just really doesn't like to be "air gapped", I see a schism coming.
Microsoft requires hardware that the defense market should love, then inflicts stupid software on it.

The incompetence that guided Obamacare was on display recently when cyber hackers outsmarted UnitedHealth Group in late February. The division of UnitedHealth Group that transmits claims, Change Healthcare, was the subject of a ransomware attack, delaying payments for prescriptions, doctors, and everything else. The company performs 15 billion transactions per year, so the consequences of UnitedHealth ignoring adequate cybersecurity is proving disastrous.
The cyberattack is such a big deal that the Senate Finance Committee next week is holding a hearing on the subject, where they will (one hopes) hold the feet of UnitedHealth CEO Andrew Witty to the fire. The House Energy and Commerce Committee will hold a similar hearing on May 1.

Oh, that thing.
My first job was short-lived, but at my second job I was working on an accounting system that ran on anything. We had clients on every variety of Unix, on Windows, on VMS, on Novell Netware - the software actually ran on the Netware server itself, not just using the network; on AS/400, on Burroughs BTOS/CTOS machines. Trying to remember if there was anything crazier than that.
Novell was eventually bought by Attachmate (which also owned SUSE Linux), which was bought by Micro Focus (best known for mainframe COBOL systems), which was bought by - hang on - Canadian company OpenText just last year.
They still sell something called Open Enterprise Server, which I believe is really Netware.

Here's my suggestion: Go to ubuntu.com. From there, you can download the boot disk for the latest version, 24.4. Then, burn the image onto a DVD-ROM or a memory stick - you'll find instructions on the Ubuntu web site. Then, boot your computer from the DVD/stick. This will launch a mini-version of Linux, one that you can play with, so you can get a feel for it. If you like it, then you can then install it on your PC. One nice feature is that you can install Linux so that it shares your PC with Windows; then, when you boot your computer, you can select the operating system to run. I've not done that myself (ours is a Microsoft-free household), but I'm told it works well. Good luck!

According to the Wall Street Journal, the attack has cost United Healthcare $824 million so far. Further, many smaller health-care providers have been driven to the brink of bankruptcy because their bills have not been processed for months; UH is providing some of them with loans to tide them over, but it's not proving adequate. Also, UH paid the ransom on condition that patients private data not be released; but guess what - the hackers reneged on the deal, and the private data are seeping into the darknet. Go figure! It looks like the Bad Actors attacked a single point of failure in the US healthcare system ... and it appears to be working.

Nope. It's a derivative of SUSE Linux under the hood.
>I would like to do Linux, but not an IT guy, any For Idiots guides?
Yes. Get a Mac. There is no Linux distro that isn't a dumpster fire of terrible decisions, and Linux on the desk/laptop is a clown show. The current state of things is that there is no market for a better client/consumer OS, so there are no decent client/consumer OSes. MacOS comes closest, as long as you're not a business or enterprise that cares what your employees do with the hardware you buy them.

I'm gonna kinda disagree. I don't think you can reliably count on someone to hear and process the audible info when she's making the play more-or-less on muscle memory. As soon as the batter when into a bunt stance, the pitcher should have know that the ball was going to 2nd and been ready to hit the deck.
Also, that was simultaneously the best version of "Baby Got Back" and the best version of "Hallelujah" ever.

He has a theory Stuart's Christmas raid toward D.C., in late 1862 was used by Lee to create such paranoia in.D.C. that Stuart's feint toward D.C. just as Lee was marching north on his Gettysburg campaign caused the Union cavalry to delay scouting the Army of Northern Virgina and prematurely finding Lee's movement as had happened during the Antietam campaign. Thus this otherwise insignificant Christmas raid combined with the spoof cavalry raid to kidnap Lincoln and others out of D.C. might have had a pivotal role in a Confederate victory. Civil War disinformation.
Well, I thought it was interesting.

"Ukrainian forces are withdrawing US-provided Abrams M1A1 main battle tanks from the front lines after at least five have been destroyed by cheap Russian drones, according to the AP....the evolving dynamics of warfare, particularly the proliferation of Russian surveillance and hunter-killer drones, have dramatically altered the operational landscape. It turned out that the Abrams were more vulnerable to Russian attacks than previously believed..."

It turned out that all tanks, regardless of race, nationality, or creed, were more vulnerable to drone attacks than expected.
The Russians continue experimenting with a "Turtle Tank", a regular tank with an armored shed built over the top of it to keep drones from directly impacting on it. The first ones have been pretty crude, and homemade looking, but I expect the next generation to be better.

The basic setup is that a technocrat developed a way to take years from one person and give them to another and setup a company that acts as a broker in buying those years and then transferring them which gives her amazing wealth and power.
Shenanigans happen and a number of the characters learn doing this is wrong.
It seems they wanted this movie to be anti-capitalist or something but it comes across clearly anti-megapharma/anti-tech oligarch. The scenes where people are forced to "donate" years look exactly like the scenes were people were forced to get the clot shot.

So a Brit "bog" is a toilet.
Something "bog-standard" is ordinary.
There's a company named "American Standard."
They make toilets.

WOW! No more "Mighty Fine Junk"? Just kidding, I've bought several of their products and thought I got good value for the money.
The founder of the company is a Chinese-American gentleman named Martin F. Jue, with the company name, MFJ, being his initials. The company is based in Mississippi, and Mr. Jue's family has apparently been there for a few generations, as he has a deep southern accent. I've chatted with him a few times at their booth at Dayton, and it always makes me chuckle to hear this little old Chinese dude sounding like a cracker.

For many years, I nerdishly corrected those who said Kool-Ade was used at Jonestown that, no, it was Flav-r-Ade (sp?).
But more recently, I discovered that both brands were employed, mostly Flav-r-Ade but some Kool-Ade, too. (Probably Jones & the Elite got the top-shelf brand.)
I told this to JJ Sefton a while back, when he used the Kool-Ade pitcher character in a Morning Report graphic. He wisely noted that Flav-r-Ade had no iconic cartoon character to meme with. So, facts be damned, it's Kool-Ade for mass murder-suicide pictorial memes as in the hilarious 🫣 graphic above.
Now, I shall never speak of this again. (Burns nerd card.)

True. I also find it doesn't cross language/culture lines much, either. Monty Python and a few select others manage to do so, but it's rare. When was the last time somebody said that a movie was a really good German comedy? There's been more comedy out of Germany thanks to all the 'Downfall' parodies . . . .
I've watched a few Brit comedians on YouTube where I didn't find very much funny but the audience were hysterically laughing.
I don't like stupid dumb humor, but sophisticated dumb humor I enjoy. Bob Hope was one of those 'sophisticated dumb humor' guys with a machine gun delivery.

My grandfather died owing me $50. When I see him again, he'll pay up.
This was maybe 45 years ago. Grandad had a retirement business, a second hand store in Amarillo, Tx. He had all kinds of wonderful and mysterious stuff in the store. I'm so glad he sold it before he died, because if he hadn't, we'd have had to go through all that stuff. I'm also so mad that he sold it before he died, because we never got to go through all that wonderful stuff.
Anyhow, one time when I was maybe 12, he showed me a machine and told me he'd give me $50 if I could tell him what it was for. The machine had two metal hemispheres on a worm gear that could make them closer together or farther apart. There was a scale beneath the hemispheres, with an indicator. 9, 9 1/2, 9 /3/4..etc. An intake nozzle was below the hemispheres (I presume for steam).
I looked at it. And looked, and looked. I turned to grandad and said "It's a hat sizer". He looked startled, then said "Close, boy, it's a hat stretcher".
Pedantic son of a bitch. When I see him in glory, He WILL give me $50 or I'll know why. I NAILED that old man. Pay up.

Neither French nor Dutch primary sources provide any evidence of such an event. The French commander on scene may have visited the Dutch flagship to request a cessation of active hostilities, or the Dutch may have imposed a cease-fire upon themselves..
It's a great story and I want it to be true, but there's not much in the way of reliable evidence. At least there are other remarkable events in war where the evidence is solid, such as the WWI battle in East Africa where bees entered as a major combatant, or the event at the end of WWII where regular Wehrmacht forces teamed up with US divisions to defeat a particularly nasty entrenched unit of SS troops.

Herr General Miklos Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck, you can tell the story far better than I. (In a pinch, Byron Farwell provides a decent account as well.) Big fan of your East African Campaign, by the way, and the decency with which you treated your Askaris outshines the conditions doled out to any other imperial auxiliaries during the Great War. And literally telling Hitler to go f*** himself when asked to take part in the Nazi war effort is a point of pride that few could ever hope to equal.

Same. Had a job in high school working as the grunt for a construction company. They got a job puttiing a new roof on church and my job was to carry bundles of shingles up the ladder and onto the roof.
Lost my footing carrying 2 bundles of shingles and went right off the roof. Fortunately, we had set up ladder staging and landed on it. They let me stay on the ground for the rest of the day. Hated that job.

When I was in my late teens, I was looking for a summer job, and the family of a friend of mine owned a stone masonry business. I asked him if they had any work, and he cheerfully said, sure, and invited me to come out to one of their job sites. The job that was available involved sitting on some kind of sawhorse-like contraption with a hand-operated winch close to the edge of the open wall, about seven or eight stories up. That's when I decided that riding on one of Pa Paco's garbage trucks didn't look like such an awful job after all.

The problem with parrots as pets is they can live for 80 years. We had an African Grey parrot named Sarah Ann Marie for years. When she turned 20 she "matured" and started screaming for a boyfriend, laying unfertilized eggs and just being an all around mess and a brat. We gave her to a breeder who mated her with one of his boy parrots and she started laying $1,500 eggs.
As far as I know she is still alive and kicking as that was only 30 years ago.

The only think I can think is that a consultant/editor retard told her it would show she could make tough decisions when need be.
Beyond that, I just do not get how talking about having to put down a pet barring age or disease would ever be a good idea. It's almost like putting in there she had to euthanize two poodles because her boyfriend in college did not like them. This was a failure in training on her part, not the dog's.

75% of EV sales are to corporations and governments, and for pretty much the same reasons.

IIRC put down a dog that was killing neighbor's livestock and tried to bite her. I don't think I would've advertised it but I would do it too if the need arose and I didn't see other good options. Especially if he was a threat to bite a child.
I assume she wanted to portray some tough old fashioned Boss Babe whatever or something similar for a campaign.

If that sort of thing suits the owner, family, farm, etc. sure. The moment that dog gets loose and bites a toddler you forget all the stuff before except for the moment when you had that choice to make.
I don't know the scenario, though, and am only saying I have no problem with putting down a dangerous dog, and the owner is the best one to know that.

Quick Hits 2: Tokyo Drift
Biden forgot the date of January 6th, even though he says it every third sentence.
President Joe Biden suffered yet another gaffe Thursday as he mixed up the date of the Jan. 6 riots during a glitzy fundraiser hosted by Hollywood stars Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones at their Westchester home. Biden, the oldest-ever US president at 81, made the blunder as he ripped his Republican rival, former President Donald Trump, 77, in front of the star-studded crowd. "We'll certainly never forget the dark days of June 6, January 6th, excuse me," the commander-in-chief said, according to a White House pool report.
Video here. Biden's chief of strategy tried to gently encourage Karine Jean-Pierre to leave the job she is so horribly incompetent at, but she was too fucking stupid to take the hint.
CNN's ratings disaster Poppy Harlow is bright enough to take the hint.
De facto White House communications chief Anita Dunn, 66, the wife of Biden personal attorney Bob Bauer, told colleagues she had decided to call in prominent Democrats to explain to Jean-Pierre, 49, that the time was ripe to move on, sources told The Post. "There was an effort to have some outside folks who Karine knows and trusts talk to her about why leaving last fall would have made a lot of sense for her and her career," the source said, calling it an "effort to encourage her to move along." Jean-Pierre, the person added, "had been in the job for a year and a half at that point, which is a pretty standard tenure for a press secretary in what is admittedly a very demanding job [and] Jeff and Anita [tried] to have folks that she would listen to and trust talk to her about why it might be wise to do that." Jean-Pierre's predecessor, Jen Psaki, was press secretary for one week shy of 16 months before leaving to take a job as a host and analyst at MSNBC. A second source told The Post that "Jeff [Zients] and Anita [Dunn] were trying to find Karine a graceful exit" because of the ugly optics of removing her against her will. "There's a huge diversity issue and they're afraid of what folks are going to say," added this source, who said they learned of the effort from multiple people briefed by Dunn and confirmed at least one person from outside the administration did speak with Jean-Pierre. The revelation of Dunn's plan is likely to make for awkward workplace dynamics, the first source said, but is unlikely to result in Jean-Pierre's departure. "She has been pretty consistent in telling people from the minute she got the job that she was going to stay through the election," they said.
"I think Karine has decided to stay come hell or high water and that's that."
Veteran CNN host Poppy Harlow is leaving the struggling cable news network -- two months after the cancellation of "CNN This Morning," where a slew of on-air meltdowns had sparked last year's ouster of Don Lemon.Republicans want the IRS to look into Chinese funding of anti-Israel protests and riots. Oh, and China is also behind "Green Energy" propaganda, to cripple the country.
House lawmakers called on the IRS to investigate U.S.-based anti-Israel activist groups that have financial links to China, according to a letter obtained by the Washington Free Beacon on Wednesday. Members of the House Ways and Means Committee said they are concerned that "foreign adversaries are taking advantage of loopholes to impact American political activity with little-to-no transparency." The letter follows reports connecting the Chinese government to a network of U.S.-based nonprofit groups. The People's Forum, a group that helped organize anti-Israel walkouts in New York City public schools, is bankrolled by Chinese propagandist and tech mogul Neville Roy Singham, the New York Times reported last year. The organization encouraged student protesters to shout anti-Semitic chants, such as "from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free," a slogan that calls for the elimination of the Jewish state. "Not only do these activities raise serious national security concerns, but they also raise questions about whether organizations like this receive foreign funding from America's adversaries and whether the Internal Revenue Service ('IRS') is conducting oversight of entities like these," wrote the lawmakers in a letter to IRS commissioner Daniel Werfel. The letter also raised concerns about other China-linked political groups. The Energy Foundation, a U.S.-based nonprofit that promotes climate change activism, operates primarily out of China and has significant ties to the government, Fox News reported in December. The Energy Foundation has pushed for U.S. green energy policies that would benefit China, which dominates the global solar energy and battery industries.Hamas and Iran are, get this, big fans of anti-Israel (and anti-Jew) protests on American "college" campuses.
An official with the Palestinian terror group Hamas and the supreme leader of Iran have praised the growing college campus protests in the United States against Israel's military offensive in Gaza, including pro-Hamas demonstrations at Columbia University that have driven fear into the hearts of Jewish students. Columbia University in New York City announced a shift to hybrid classes after protestors set up a "Gaza Solidarity Encampment" last Wednesday. This led to the arrest of more than 100 people after Columbia University President Minouche Shafik authorized police to clear the camp. The demonstrators resettled the encampment, and there have been multiple reports of Jewish members of Columbia's community feeling unsafe due to the encampment. The demonstration has prompted calls for the Biden administration to take away the school's federal funding and discipline the demonstrators, which some say should include revoking the visas of the students expressing support for terrorist groups.Um, obviously. Stupid American brats have the right to chant "Death to America" in America. Nasty terrorist foreigners do not. Being here is a privilege, not a right. Oh what am I talking about, The Regime has decided that every f*cking foreigner in the world has an inalienable right to mob up in America.
Remember during the Iraq War when Bill Kristol would attack anyone questioning the war as giving support to terrorists? He's not saying that anymore, is he? Iran is begging students to stop Israel's war against its proxies. Half of Hez'ballah's commanders have been exterminated in the Hez'ballah stronghold of south Lebanon.
On Wednesday, Izzat Al-Risheq, a member of Hamas' political bureau, accused the Biden administration of violating student and faculty rights, claiming that they are only rejecting "the genocide that our Palestinian people are the subjected in the Gaza Strip at the hands of the neo-Nazi Zionists." USA Today quoted the Hamas official as saying, "Today's students are the leaders of the future." Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei also praised the protests. "Western governments say the Resistance Front is terrorism," Khamenei wrote in a tweet. "This comes at a time when people flew Hezbollah's flag in a street in the US. The people of the world are supporting the Resistance Front because they are resisting & because they are against oppression." Khamenei's "oppression" comment comes as the Islamic Republic of Iran has a notorious record for infringing on the rights of religious minorities through imprisonment. Iran also used lethal force to crack down on widespread protests in 2022.
Israeli counterstrikes have killed "half of Hezbollah's commanders in southern Lebanon," Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant revealed on April 24. Gallant's remarks came as Israel launched an unusually intense wave of bombing sorties against the Iran-backed terrorist group's forces in southern Lebanon. "These were the men responsible for belligerent actions, for the drive to strike at the citizens of the State of Israel," Gallant said during a visit to Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Northern Command. The other half, he added, "are in hiding and abandoning southern Lebanon in the face of IDF actions." Gallant signaled that Israel could escalate to a ground operation if mediated diplomatic efforts to get Hezbollah to withdraw from the border failed. "Our main objective was and remains to bring about a different security situation here and for residents of the northern State of Israel to be able to go back home to quiet and safety," Gallant said, referring to some 80,000 civilians evacuated from border communities. "The coming period will be decisive in this regard."Crush those cockroaches. Google fired another 20 of its disruptive pro-terrorist "workers," after firing 28 previously.

The workers held sit-ins at the company's offices in California and New York over Google's $1.2 billion contract to provide custom tools for Israeli's military. Google has fired more employees who were involved in protests over the tech company's cloud computing contract with the Israeli government. The workers held sit-ins at the company's offices in California and New York over Google's $1.2 billion contract to provide custom tools for Israeli's military. Google has fired an additional 20 employees who participated in a protest last week against the company's defense contract with the Israeli government. This brings the total number of employees laid off due to the protest to 50, according to the group that organized the demonstrations, No Tech for Apartheid.My count is 48 total but you know, Hamas sympathizers tend to inflate numbers, don't they?
Jane Chung, a spokesperson for the group, said some of the dismissed employees were "nonparticipating bystanders" during the sit-in protests held on April 16 at Google's offices in Sunnyvale and New York. The group labeled the tech giant's action as an "aggressive and desperate act of retaliation."The media rule: If rightwingers get into a scuffle with cops, they "attacked hardworking policemen."

Jane Chung, a spokesperson for the group, said some of the dismissed employees were "nonparticipating bystanders" during the sit-in protests held on April 16 at Google's offices in Sunnyvale and New York. The group labeled the tech giant's action as an "aggressive and desperate act of retaliation."

They're literally funding it. Who the "masterminds" are, behind the actual children on various campi, all chanting their nonsense, are likely the same damn people who have been doing Occupoop Wall Street and Antifag and BLM and all the rest of the yoots in revolt we've had for the past few decades.

- I suspect big RE corporations are encouraging this in order to change tenant rights laws, so that they can more easily evict.
- Also, china, just to destroy the West.
I think I said it here that China is the most likely funder behind student protests. They have had a lot of trouble originating in their student population, so of course they see this as a vulnerable point on our society. They have also worked hard to police their student population at home and abroad. And, of course they won the VN war in large part due to student protests in the USA.

Vietnam’s foreign policy for the past 1000 years: keep China out of Vietnam. They were always aligned with the USSR during the Cold War, not China.
I don’t think this is China; why should they spend a dime when they can kick back and watch others do it? Many anti-American groups exist in this country that can organized this just as well. For a foreign source of money? Saudi Arabia (they love paying off everybody) or Qatar.

Buying a new vehicle today is prohibitively expensive, buying a new pickup truck is preposterous.
The interesting thing is that the Toyota 4Runner is typically about 5k more than the Tacoma, that means the TRD Pro and TrailHunter 4Runners are going to be close to 70k MSRP or above before options, taxes and fees.

Oh, and China is also behind "Green Energy" propaganda, to cripple the country.
And China's behind Fent coming in to the United States.
And China's behind a good deal of illegal guns coming in the United States. (how do I get my hands on some of those? Oh, Chinese-made. Nevermind).
China is behind propaganda-as-education via the Confucius Instutute.
China is behind massive spying operations in the US.
And the list goes on...

>>Only 4 cyl turbos. The top TRD Pro has a 63k starting price by the website.
Toyota is only putting Turbo 4 Bangers in all of their mid-size trucks and SUV's
It's 63K and change before destination of 1500, so it's 65k base price. You add any options like roof rack, side steps, ARB compressor, etc and you can get that sucker over 70K before you add taxes, title and fees.

They're not the only ones. My son has had to deal with folks deciding to record him because their credit card was declined and he wouldn't give them any freebies. He ended up having the other employees there record the entire thing. Guy said he would call the police, and my son said "Good idea; please call them". Lots of grifters out there.

In an active war scenario, the best bioweapon is one that kills everybody it contacts right away, but rather kills a good number after a few days to a week, forcing other to take care of the sick, thus taking out even more combatants.

The Fast and the Furious Short News Items
Zoom In: Meet the New Left, Which Embraces the Swastika as a Symbol of Wokeness.
Not terribly different from the old left, then. The left is always looking for new transgressions. Their old ones have gotten stale -- so it's time to embrace the swastika.
See the article for the embrace of the swastika. Lefties are now defending defacing Jewish property with a swastika, arguing they've reclaimed it, like the word "queer," and are now using it as "a condemnation of genocide." But Trump said "P*ssy." Why It Matters: We have more details on the Secret Service agent who TLC's Snapped! and attacked a Senior Agent in Charge. DEI concerns, indeed.
Goodbye, intersectionality -- hello, "It's All One Thingism." In this nebulous new cosmology, Palestinians -- even Hamas themselves -- aren't just engaged in a specific geopolitical fight over territory and resources. No, they're the tip of the spear of a perceived collective liberation against the West, the Global North, "colonisers," whatever you want to call the Bad Guys. It's a magical world in which all politics and world affairs once seen through intersectionality's colourful prism have been flattened into (somewhat ironically for self-proclaimed atheists) a more Biblical view of the world: black-and-white, good and evil. "Palestine is every single issue in one issue," wrote Scarlett Rabe, a singer-songwriter who describes herself as an anti-racist mother and an abolition feminist/womanist, in a viral tweet in February. "It's reproductive justice. It's social justice. It's climate crisis... It's not just one issue; it's all the issues in one." All One Thingism explains why a group of a few hundred masked protestors who chanted "Death to America" and "Hands off Iran" this week also employed the relatively meaningless slogan "From Chicago to Palestine." Or that another viral post on Instagram by a person wearing a "Fatties for a Free Palestine" T-shirt insisted that "Palestinian solidarity is not a niche issue. Fat liberation and Palestinian liberation go hand in hand." During the Trans Day of Visibility, a Palestine flag flew above the Trans flag during some marches, with one sign explaining that "Liberations are linked." Some are even talking up BRICS as allies (maybe Putin and Xi aren't so bad after all?) and -- yes -- even looking back fondly at the Khmer Rouge.
Now, the identity of the officer has been revealed, along with more details surrounding the strange situation. Michelle Herczeg was removed from her duties with the Secret Service on Wednesday. She was a former police officer with the Dallas Police Department and an Air Force veteran. On Monday morning, Herczeg arrived at the base and began deleting apps from a male agent's personal cell phone before becoming increasingly agitated. She then engaged in erratic behavior, such as mumbling to herself, hiding behind curtains, and throwing menstrual pads and other items at an agent, telling him that he would need them later to save another agent. Herczeg continued making alarming statements, such as the other agents were "going to burn in hell and needed to listen to God."She was a madwoman from Jump Street, and never should have been hired for any job in which firearms handling is a requirement:
Herczeg was heard screaming at the special agent in charge (SAIC), listing the names of female officers on the vice president's detail and asserting that they would support her and enable her to continue working. When the SAIC attempted to relieve her of duty, as a witness told Real Clear Politics, "that's when she snapped entirely." Herczeg allegedly became physically aggressive, chest-bumping, shoving, tackling, and punching the SAIC. This prompted intervention from other agents present, with a heightened alarm as Herczeg was armed, although her gun remained holstered. Agents wrestled her to the ground, disarmed her, cuffed her, and then escorted her out of the terminal. In prior coverage, RedState noted that the agent had previously been a subject of distress by staff and that the hiring process, including allegedly "DEI" practices, raised concerns among officers in the Secret Service, per reporting from Real Clear Politics.
In her 2016 lawsuit, Herczeg charged she was retaliated against for reporting sexual harassment and other wrongdoing by Dallas cops. After Herczeg was allegedly assaulted by a male superior officer in May 2015, she claimed, "[i]ntimidation tactics were used as investigative tools to persuade Herczeg from seeking criminal relief against the officer who assaulted her," according to the Morning News. The lawsuit also alleged that Herczeg was not allowed to return to a special crime reduction team after reporting the alleged assault and was also refused overtime patrol shifts, causing "stress and mental anguish from loss in payment compensation." Herczeg further charged that DPD "tolerates unprofessional behavior such as fraternization and unprofessional male and female working relationships based on an atmosphere which finds the male officer in charge, regardless of rank or ability." A Texas court dismissed Herczeg's suit and a court of appeals denied both her appeal in 2021 and a request for a rehearing the following year.
It sure seems like she's just a nutter and Drama Tornado anywhere she goes. And it sure looks like DEI practices were used to move her through the application process for a job involving guns and the protection of very high-ranking VIPs. DEI requires you to hire the Mentally Diverse. Who's Zooming Who: A good old-fashioned Drag Queen Story Hour has been perverted from its wholesome mission of indoctrinating kids into becoming gay and trans into a Palestinian propaganda struggle session! Is nothing sacred?!
In a bizarre moment, a drag queen performing at a Massachusetts art center directed children in a pro-Palestinian chant. Video footage shows the exchange during a "Queer Storytime for Palestine" event organized by the Valley Families for Palestine group at the Northampton Center for the Arts on April 14.
While reading her book "If You're a Drag Queen and You Know It," Lil Miss Hot Mess told the children: "If you're a drag queen and you know it shout 'Free Palestine.'" The event included "dancing, celebrating Palestine culture, learning about queer heroes and doing arts and crafts," according to an Instagram post by the Valley Families for Palestine group. Event profits were donated to alQaws, a Palestinian organization "working for queer liberation."

The president averaged 38.7 percent job approval in his 13th quarter in office, which ran from Jan. 20 to April 19, according to averages aggregated by Gallup.
In the same quarter, former President Trump had a 46.8 percent approval rating average; former President Obama’s was 45.9 percent and former President George W. Bush’s was 51 percent, according to Gallup.
The second-lowest to Biden’s in that time was former President George H.W. Bush, who had a 41.8 percent mark.

This was started withe the Upton Sinclair book, The Jungle. It triggered TR to create the FDA. They main purpose of the FDA (as is the case with most regulation,) was to *reassure* the public and protect *industry.*
It was not a consumer protection agency, but a market protection industry.
What we have now though is that instead of protecting industries like food production and construction *from* the lawyers and public, they are protecting the main industry -- the regulators and grifters which has become the main industry of America.

She then engaged in erratic behavior, such as mumbling to herself, hiding behind curtains, and throwing menstrual pads and other items at an agent, telling him that he would need them later to save another agent. Herczeg continued making alarming statements, such as the other agents were "going to burn in hell and needed to listen to God."

There's a lot to this, and any number of reasons for the disparity between crazy men and crazy women. Not least of which is how many people (especially if she's cute) will excuse the behavior of the female, when they would not do so for the man.
Furthermore, since much of what we call insanity IS caused by childhood experiences, the disparity is in part due to the type of childhood abuse/neglect that is perpetrated on said child. And even how the abused interprets and copes with the abuse.
In other words, significantly more female children are sexually abused, and significantly more male are beaten. Obviously many are both, but this is a big part of it.
Types of neglect are more nuanced, and I don't really have a firm grasp on it, but I'm sure that's as much a factor as the abuse.

I assume this whole thing is really nothing, but I also haven't seen anyone point out, hunting dogs are not pets.
In real world calculations, a 14 month old dog (not a puppy) that is useless as a hunter is just another mouth that needs to be fed, and is therefore is not considered worth keeping around.

If you follow the train on that story, it IS quite a big scale.
Involves the Clintons, the CIA, and various other big issues.

In reality, I'm betting it just involves a second train. It is always the second train. People see a train coming and they step off the track on the adjacent one. Then it hits them.
No one hears the second train since they are looking at the first and think it is making all the noise.
I wish these news stories would say "Teens hit by second train" to make others understand that sometimes the track you step onto has a train coming too.

In the grand scheme of things, there are only a handful of people who are interesting enough to give a sh*t about to read a biography about them, Churchill comes to mind.
The fact that someone would pay Noem actual dollars to write about her life sounds like a Uniparty Payoff and that she thought writing about whacking pets and farm animals would endear her to anyone and would not be taken out of context, proves she's not ready for prime time.

It's about 15-20k cheaper, is better equipped, and Ford dealers tend to be less greedy and rapaciousness than Toyota dealers wrt market adjustments and dealer added smoke..
The main downside is, you're buying a Ford.
