The Quotes of The Day


Quote I


“I think that it is a rather astonishing extension of wokeness in now that the door seems to be opening that someone’s political viewpoint reflects on their fitness as a parent. It is one of the clearest infringements on someone’s free speech by the state to have a court threaten to restrict a parents’ rights to their child based upon … the propriety of a person’s political beliefs.” Michael Stutman, who is an attorney specializing in matrimonial law and the current chair of the New York City Bar Association’s Matrimonial Law Committee


Quote II

“During this time when so me imagine trans people at their worst, Lutherans have once again declared that transgender people are beautiful children of God. Thank you to everyone who has been praying for me and my family as I accept this call.” The Rev. Megan Rohrer


Quote III

“I remember trying to run but it felt like the ground was quicksand, like sinking into the ground, then everything went black.Paula Smith


Quote IV


“What has happened to me in the last month, despite not cheating, has resulted in one of the most terrifying, isolating experiences of my life,” Sirey Zhang, a first-year student at Dartmouth’s Geisel School of Medicine

***


Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is incensed. Then do something about it instead of writing butt hurt letters aimed for publicity.

Yawn, wake me up when any of the Antifa or BLM thugs are arrested, tried and convicted.

71% Of Eligible Gen-Zers Don't Qualify For Military Due To Obesity, Criminal Records And Other Reasons

Bloomberg is out with a Monday report chronicling the sad state of affairs the US military has found itself in - notably trying to lure eligible recruits from Generation Z with a cartoon series dubbed "The Calling," which will run on YouTube during May and June.

As Bloomberg notes, "The Army—the U.S. military’s largest service—faces a complex set of problems: the eligible recruiting pool into all military services is small; and the newest generation of prospects, Gen Z, has had almost no contact or knowledge of the military, which has largely fought wars abroad since 2001. The Gen Z cohort grew up with technology, the internet, and social media."

The videos feature Emma, the self-proclaimed spoiled kid; David, the Hawaiian kid who at first didn’t let himself dream about becoming a pilot; Rickie, who grew up in a religious Haitian family in Florida; Janeen, a singer performing on cruise ships who joined the Reserves with the help of her Vietnam-veteran father; and Jennifer, born to first-generation Dominican immigrants, who worked long hours to make ends meet. -Bloomberg

The use of a "face diaper" is examined.

The Mask...
"The Mask is the new gender-neutral burka..." -- The Overlord

I hate the facemask.

I'm sick to to death of having to wear one to mollify a crowd of pussies living in fear that they might get the sniffles.

I'm about to choke the next vaccinated bitch who demands I wear mask because her grandmother died of complications of constipation and the flu. Nine years ago.

This -- this entire, manufactured COVID-19 panic -- is, and has always been, theater.

The Mask has become a new symbol of oppression and new means of identifying just who it is that it's okay to discriminate against.

And like the burka, The Mask represents a loss of civil and human rights, it is a fundamental denial of humanity. Not a "safety measure", not a prophylactic to help "slow the spread", nor even a prudent and courteous precaution to take to protect the most-vulnerable.

The Mask is a visible sign of "who belongs" in a world separating into two, distinct camps -- the Sheep and the Individualist.

Biden and his posse of clowns continue to govern from the left. Let's chemically castrate kids who are mentally ill.

On Monday, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) laid the groundwork for forcing doctors and hospitals to perform transgender surgery in the name of fighting “discrimination.” HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra and Assistant Secretary of Health Rachel Levine (a biological male who identifies as a woman) announced that HHS would adopt the Orwellian redefinition of “sex” to force transgender ideology in the medical field, mainstreaming the arguable chemical castration of children.

Self-driving cars and 5G networks. Wow, what about us who live in flyover country with less than stellar cellular signals?

Nearly all car crashes are due to human error


According to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) data, 37,461 lives were lost on U.S. roads in 2016. And 94 percent of vehicle crashes are due to “human error.” NHTSA estimates that vehicle safety developments helped raise the annual number of lives saved from 115 in 1960 to 27,621 in 2012. Cumulatively, these improved safety technologies saved over 600,000 lives between 1960 and 2012.


As we are moving toward full automation, there has been a lot of development in driver assistance. This is where a vehicle is controlled by the driver, but there are some driving assistance options like collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, and adaptive cruise control are already helping to save lives and prevent injuries.

With self-driving technology and 5G, we could reduce car crashes and fatalities further. To understand how self-driving technology can make cars safer, we need to understand how fast humans can react to road hazards first.

Our elected and bureaucratic "betters" seem to love China and its ways. Is this what the Left wants for everyone? A social credit system.

The Chinese Communist Party has been constructing a moral ranking system for years that will monitor the behavior of its enormous population — and rank them all based on their "social credit."

The "social credit system," first announced in 2014, is "an important component part of the Socialist market economy system and the social governance system" and aims to reinforce the idea that "keeping trust is glorious and breaking trust is disgraceful," according to a 2015 government document.

The rankings are decided by China's economics planning team, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), the People's Bank of China, and the Chinese court system, according to the South China Morning Post.

I'm not quite prepared to believe EV will cost the same if not cheaper to make than cars with combustion engines.

Electric cars and vans will be cheaper to produce than conventional, fossil fuel-powered vehicles by 2027, and tighter emissions regulations could put them in pole position to dominate all new car sales by the middle of the next decade, research has found.

By 2026, larger vehicles such as electric sedans and SUVs will be as cheap to produce as petrol and diesel models, according to forecasts from BloombergNEF, with small cars reaching the threshold the following year.

Electric vehicles reaching price parity with the internal combustion engine is seen as a key milestone in the world’s transition from burning fossil fuels.


Electric car insurance in UK ‘is £45 less than for petrol or diesel vehicle’

The falling cost of producing batteries for electric vehicles, combined with dedicated production lines in carmarkers’ plants, will make them cheaper to buy, on average, within the next six years than conventional cars, even before any government subsidies, BloombergNEF found.

Call me an old curmudgeon. I'm comfortable in my own skin. I'm one who doesn't believe in Internet beauty tips. What can go wrong using TikTok videos for beauty tips?

She went on to reveal, “This is the result of attempting to remove scarring I inflicted on myself trying to replicate an at-home beauty procedure I saw on a TikTok video two months before Big Brother.” (Based on this latest season commencing in April, this would have been in February.)

In an addendum to her original post, she clarified, “I literally shoved needles deep into my skin” on a TikToker’s recommendation.

Have you been following the Kentucky Derby debacle? The dog did not eat your homework. And the horse did not eat "bad hay". C'mon dawg, you have to do better than that.

Baffert says one test issue was created by a groom urinating in the stall after the groom had been taking cough medicine. Horse ate some of the hay.

What happens in Poland doesn't stay in Poland.

The 18th Airborne Corps has launched an investigation into the leadership of the 101st Airborne Division’s Combat Aviation Brigade following a deployment to Europe last year, officials told Army Times Monday.

The inquiry by the headquarters at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, comes in the wake of a previous investigation that uncovered how one of the unit’s subordinate battalions broke Army rules by visiting a strip club during an official trip to Gdansk, Poland.


The battalion’s executive officer went missing for a day following a drunken nighttime outing in September, and he later claimed to investigators that he was drugged at the strip club and charged excessive amounts on his credit card.

Stars and Stripes first reported the new investigation, in addition to the original one.

The following stories clearly show: You will be made to care. And if not, the full weight of the government will be used to bend or break you.


How dare you criticize a black woman who was supported by the likes of George Soros!!!

Baltimore City State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby Claims Fox Affiliate Coverage of Her Is “Racist” – Files FCC Complaint
In a formal complaint filed with the FCC, Mosby’s office alleges that Baltimore TV station WBFF’s coverage of Mosby “upon viewing could reasonably be characterized as blatantly slanted, dishonest, misleading, racist, and extremely dangerous.”


Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all mannerof evil against you falsely, for my sake. Matthew 5:11 (KJV)

Calgary Pastor Artur Pawlowski is still in jail.

He was arrested yesterday in a shocking SWAT team raid, made to kneel in the middle of a busy highway. It was clear from the moment of his arrest that this had nothing to do with a virus, and everything to do with political control.

Since that moment, he’s been treated brutally — thrown painfully into a police car; then forced to sit on a concrete slab, in a jail cell where the lights are never turned off. He is separated from his brother, who was arrested too, but he has no privacy — curious police come to gawk at him like he’s a circus animal.

But incredibly, Pastor Artur hasn’t lost hope — in fact, he’s more resolved than ever.

Our reporter Adam Soos managed to speak with him for five minutes. Here’s the full recording of that call:

I'm not a big fan of plaintiff attorneys. But, now is the time for them to step forward.

ANDOVER (CBS) – Andover parents Kristin and Scott are speaking out on behalf of their daughter. She along with two of her friends are freshmen at UMass Amherst. A picture posted on social media of the three friends not wearing masks outside was handed over to the university and that has landed them in serious trouble.

“There was a photo sent to the administration of these girls outside off campus on a Saturday. This is why they lost a whole semester of their schooling,” Kristin said.

The ONT Musical Interlude


A veteran rocker goes antisemitic on us.

For more than a half-century, I have been a fan of the Northern Irish singer-songwriter, Van Morrison. His voice, his phrasing, his instrumentation and production — loved them all. My iPhone is home to any number of his songs: “Wild Honey,” “Tupelo Honey,” “Jackie Wilson Said,” “Moon Dance,” “Days Like This,” “Across the Bridge Where the Angels Dwell.”

You will notice I have not posted links to these songs.

There is a reason.

I no longer want to support Van Morrison’s work.

Why?

Because of the song “They Own the Media” on his new album, “Latest Record Project, Vol. 1.”

They tell us that ignorance is bliss
I guess by those that control the media, it is
They own the media, they control the stories we are told
If you ever try to go against them, you will be ignored.

‘Cause they control
They control
They control

Perhaps he took one too many blows to the old noggin. Genius Award Winner.

Uh oh, Tito.

MMA legend Tito Ortiz is in hot water for allegedly filing for unemployment against the City of Huntington Beach ... despite still drawing a full monthly check.

And why is he drawing a check? BECAUSE HE'S THE MAYOR PRO TEM!

Yeah, not a good look!!

Records show 46-year-old Tito -- real name Jacob C. Ortiz -- filed paperwork with the California Employment Development Department back on Feb. 22, claiming he hasn't been able to work full time as a City Council member since Feb. 9 due to the COVID pandemic.

FYI, Ortiz won his City Council seat back in November 2020 and was sworn in on Dec. 7.

Moar trees. Moar vegetation. Tonight's Feel Good Story of The Day.

Fantastic Findings: German Study Shows Added CO2 Has Led To 14% More Vegetation Over Past 100 Years!

Almost everyone with even just a fraction of a science education knows Co2 is fertilizer to vegetation and that the added 100 or so ppm in our atmosphere over the past decades have been beneficial to plant growth and thus led to more greening of the continents.

Yet, some alarmists still sniff at this fact, or deny it.

69 We will run out of lithium before we run out of petroleum.

So there's that.
Posted by: Thomas Bender


There's plenty of Lithium in the Earth's crust, but if it is very diffuse in concentration (which it usually is) and requires a lot of refining and concentration (which is a big mess), then the economics of recovering it are rather.....dicey. The Chinese have devastated an area around their Lithium "refinery" to such a degree that it is a lifeless desert.

We're pretty good at recovering petroleum in an economic way, and have built a lot of infrastructure (refineries) to prepare it for commercial use.

153 re: Van Morrison

I can't stand Roger Waters, due to his antisemitism. One of my favourite covers of Comfortably Numb, however, was done by Van in concert, so I can't say that they don't know each other.

That said, after reading the lyrics I'm going to hesitate on canceling Van the Man right now. The album he's put out, as far as I've heard over the past few months, is a rebuke to the lockdown culture, and the price live music (and everyone else) has paid due to its premises. As such, a blatantly antisemitic song would be a departure from that theme. If by 'they' you would mean the liberals that control the media narrative, I'd be in agreement with that sentiment, and the lyrics I've read could be interpreted that way.

Holding my fire for now, until I see more evidence of antisemitism from Van.

Well the panic buying of gasoline has started today around here, and I'm sure all over the Greenville area.

Stations were running out in Atlanta, and word got out. I figured I'd better fill the truck up when Miley and I went to the grocery store. First little Exxon station we get to was packed full, cars in line, price $2.72/gal. Next one, a QT was slap full, but a slot opened up at the 7-11 right next to it and I got in and filled it up at $2.69/gal.

Always remember. Be the first one to panic. If you're late to the panic party, you're SOL.

If he was talking about Jews, let's argue why he's wrong. Or even acknowledge how it can seem that way, but point out how much more complicated it is than that.

You know what let's not do? Hound him out of the public square. 'Cause (a) it's wrong, and (b) it kind of perpetuates the stereotype.

(In case it makes a difference, and it shouldn't, I'm Jewish. The above remains how I feel about Mel Gibson. And I still love that Jodie Foster and Robert Downey Jr. stick up for him, without defending everything he's said and done.)

193 Most of the stories these days remind me of Tom Clancy's first book, Hunt for Red October. They glossed over this in the book, but the first person the officers had to kill on the submarine was the political officer.

This is the common theme of a minority controlling a majority. You must make free speech and thought morally corrupt, and only state approved opinions are allowed to be expressed.

It won't be long before children are turning in their parents for "wrong think". The love for transgenders isn't about fairness, it is just a bright line that can be used to distinguish those who can be trusted to toe the party line, and those who must be silenced.

After the election I lost about 75% of my "friends" on Facebook when one of the leftist I know essentially declared a fatwa against me. Since I was known for voting for Trump, I was automatically a racist. And the sheep all followed along and cut me out of their lives, even people who I had personally stood up for and supported in the darkest moments of their lives.

My heart goes out to that pastor in Canada. He is the essence of a Christian Martyr. He has my profound respect.

198 And 94 percent of vehicle crashes are due to "human error." ( 37,461 deaths in 2016)

I would bet that if you took all the police personnel who were 1. waiting at at DUI check point for a driver to blow 0.80 (or lower in certain states); 2. doing other "safety" check points; or 3. clocking speeders; and instead had them write tickets for (in order of importance) 1. blocking the left lane; 2. tailgating; and 3. weaving in-and-out to drive a higher speed than traffic that you would reduce that number by half.

Also, they are running PSAs this year about work zone crash fatalities. Here's an idea: When there actually are workers there (instead of the 90% percent of time when there aren't), 1. put up a real legit can't miss it warning at the start of the work zone, and 2. enforce it in those zones only.

If we on this forum can refer to an external faction *controlling* the media against us (observe the wall of rhetoric about the Minsurrection), they "they" referring to people who control a media is not *necessarily* a reference to Jews.

To often we are dealing with people whose analysis only goes as far as "that reminds me", often to ridiculous idiosyncracies that are possible when ones own sense of "semblance" is the stayed criteria.

Nothing makes me feel more conflicted about the praise I've heaped on Gibson in the past than his very unhinged rants. And I don't know if any semitic blood in my family tree.

I like good analysis. Predjudice is overgeneralization and often blinders. I try to be deliberative in my thought and pre-judging is the symmetric opposite.

265 Ok, here's a bit of an Official Update on the TxMoMeet, coming this October.

An Executive Decision was made, and it has been determined that the recipient of the 2021 Attendance Scholarship will be none other than our own Backwards Boy.

Colluding on this decision, were Ben Had, m'self and Insomniac, just to mention. We're still hammering out the mechanics of how we're going to arrange things, but yes, there will be a portal for anyone who'd wish to donate to the travel and expense fund. So, unlike the Surprise Rifle last year for Ben Had, this one doesn't have to be Top Secret. So, my update here was just a bit of a heads up, and you'll be seeing more on the subject in the days and weeks ahead.

Congratulations, Backwards Boy!

I bet it would be, except for the hazmat shipping involved.

There's probably a business opportunity there for someone who would accept old lithium batteries, ABSOLUTELY MOTHERFUCKING GUARANTEE that they're completely discharged, and ship them to a central refinery in a safe manner (some lithium compounds can get sporty even if they're not charged up).

Put them in an insulated tanker, and top off with liquid nitrogen. Keeping them that cold, and isolated from oxygen, should make shipping them safe as houses. And liquid N2 is cheap.

Absolutely, hence the quotation marks.

I'm not talking about people I only knew on social media either, I have met them in person, spent days with them. One of them I went to her daughter's high school chorus production. These were more than casual acquaintances.

But in the end, adherence to political orthodoxy was more important to them than gratitude for basic kindness given to them when they were at their lowest point in their lives.

290 re Move Or Die -- Yep, I'm a firm believer. It was really brought home to me when early astronauts, prime male specimens, needed several weeks to recover from a few weeks weightless in space.

My dad died, in no small part, because exercising gave him low O2 headaches (COPD). So he stopped moving much, then couldn't at all. And all the while, I urged him to get the Fuck up. You do what you can.

And in a much more recent event, mom went to the ICU with a similar experience, but has taken moving to heart and has regained so much capability in a few short weeks of regular exercise and movement.

She's all the proof I'll ever need. Move or die.

308 "I'm not a big fan of plaintiff attorneys."

It's not quite so cut-and-dried like that. Don't use "plaintiff attorneys" as a short cut for tort claimants with nonsense claims. When tenants squat in your building and you have to sue to get them out, your lawyer is a plaintiff attorney. When you and your property co-owner can no longer agree on things and you have to go to court to get the property sold and the proceeds divided, your lawyer is a plaintiff attorney. When a veterinarian manipulates you into allowing him to perform a heart stick on your dying cat, unsedated, and you hire an attorney to get justice, your lawyer is a plaintiff attorney. The 1st Amendment right to petition the government for redress of grievances assumes the existence of plaintiff attorneys. Ponder that.

That might have been a bad idea on my part. I read the wiki on lithium. It's one of the few elements that will spontaneously react with nitrogen. And it will also float in liquid N2.

But perhaps if the reaction with nitrogen is not explosive, you could let it react, form lithium nitride, and ship that safely?

Possibly. Or how about just doing a "controlled burn"? Dump a bunch of them into a hefty furnace (something akin to blast furnace should be good enough), and just intentionally burn 'em up. Then ship the oxides.

I'm sure you'd need all kinds of pollution control crapola on the furnace, but it might be worth it to achieve a perfectly safe product that can be shipped with no special limitations.

370 During this time when so me imagine trans people at their worst, Lutherans have once again declared that transgender people are beautiful children of God.

"beautiful children of God" which is a made-up assertion that is essentially empty trigger words to evoke certain emotional attachments and lead people into sin.

"Because of the hardness of your heart he wrote you this commandment. But from the beginning of Creation, God made them male and female". - Jesus Christ, Creator of All Things

So when some sinful, fallen reprobate in the apostate Lutheran synod mocks God by claiming that He who made him XY made a mistake and meant XX, instead of undergoing church discipline, gets promoted to lead others astray and into sin and destruction.

More the reason its easier and easier to become a full preterist.

424 >>With self-driving technology and 5G, we could reduce car crashes and fatalities further. To understand how self-driving technology can make cars safer, we need to understand how fast humans can react to road hazards first.


I love this notion that self-driving cars wil be free of human error. Who is programming the self-driving cars, who codes the rules upon which it operates? Who updates the code based on new conditions (road construction, etc.)?

Further, you can only do so much to remove human error as long as other cars are manually driven and there are podestrians, joggers, bicyclists on the road. 'They don't mention that part because it's obvious to do what they're selling is 100% driverless.

I came to the conclusion that Bush 1.0's foreign policy people were the last who had any sense. Who had an remote sense of how the world really works. They weren't all that great, certainly not 4 dimensional chess players, but they were not stupid. Bush 2.0's bunch were the young bucks under those guys, who were held in restraint.

Then came Clinton, and its been nothing but idiots. Every administration since then (and a lot of them remained and undermined Trump, too).

It's like every decision they make is the worst of the available options. Then that causes bad shit to happen, and the next bunch come an respond with the worst possible option again.

454 Speaking of something other than Dairy Queen...

The local Braum's is a good store. Now and then have talked with the manager (has been for I think he said 29 years). I really like their Oklahoma-grown beef burgers.

When the flu fearmongering first started up, they closed the dining area but the employees were given the option of mask or not. Nobody wore one.

Then the billboard immediately next to the place went to: "Wear a Mask!" I laughed at it until...

Just when they re-opened the dining area, some Klot of Karens -- most of whom probably would never set foot in a Braum's -- complained enough that word came down from HQ that employee masks were mandated. I felt so bad for those good, hardworking kids at the store. They were doing a booming drive-up business before and after masking, and I don't imagine anybody caught a cold there.

Well, good news is, when I went in there last week, I could see smiles on the employees' faces. The masks were gone. I practically gushed about it to the checkout girl.

Every little victory is welcome.

If you can stand the suggestion, they're probably the "Bottom-up" part of the plot that Beck has called "Top-down/Bottom-up". Or they're there to draw classic civic-minded people into the "white supremacist insurrection".

You can see the Dems trying to do this with "white supremacy" right now. That DC January is a good example of the way they want to crack down.

Eh. Like anything in life you find the stuff you won't compromise on and negotiate the rest. As long as the SO doesn't go raykon on us I doubt we'd begrudge you as SO who has animosity toward us. And the older you get the older her kids could be, and you may meet someone whose kids have grow enough to be interesting to have convos with, rather than wanting to tell you about Fortnight ad nauseam.

519 As I see it, these are the things that American commies want to keep and expand as a goad to a reaction they will call "white supremacist" (hereafter SCWS, for So-called White Supremac*)

1. Releasing criminals from prison.
2. Moving ghetto into middle and upperclass neighborhood (to riot)
3. Antifa violence and coercion
4. BLM commie riots.
5. Blaming racial violence, like anti-Asian attacks, on SCWS.
6. Discriminating against whites whenever they get a chance.

In this mode of thinking the goal is to keep the pressure on the white working and middle class, to foment a reaction which is likely to contain violence against an group more characterized by "diversity" and then to bring the "top down".

At one time there was a medical device called the "everlasting antimony pill".

Antimony, when ingested, tends to produce near instant vomiting (which people at the time believed was healthy, and of course which actually is in some situations).

You'd buy one antimony nugget, then just recover it for future use.

I have to give Paltrow credit for resisting the "scary plastic surgery" route that so many aging actresses go down. If she's had work done, it's been top-quality and left her still recognizable as a human being.
Posted by: Rodrigo Borgia at May 10, 2021 11:35 PM (JZT2F)

My guess is that the actresses -or actors for that matter- who do not look scary but have gone down the surgery route have not had anything too drastic done. Minor modifications, if any.

ROFL. Someone needs to explain to Juan the notion of real yield, and how that is negative on Ts across the board. Hell, TIPS have been trading at explicitly negative rates for a long time.

And then explain to him how the Fed control rates, and when they print like crazy, they artificially keep rates low.

Figure out what are the things in life that are your absolutes. "I will not change faith, etc." From there, what do you feel strong on, but aren't absolutes- what shampoo you buy. And then work to decide what you need to keep to be you, and what is something you can compromise on in terms of her absolutes. If you look for an instant perfect fit...well, good luck. But if you are willing to go with her to the chick flick, or the gardening show or hiking or the Monster truck rally even though it isn't of highest interest to you, you may discover that being with them helps take that edge off. Discover what is your core and keep that, and what is stuff you've accumulated around that that may be open to change.

Or don't. No one can tell someone else what will or won't work for them in a relationship, just what to explore.

Been going to an LCMS church for more than 30 years. Here's our position, which shouldn't surprise anyone who knows us: Performing homosexual acts (by definition outside of marriage) is no more or less a sin than adultery or premarital sex, or stealing or having a false God, for that matter. It's all sin. The world is full of it. The wages of sin are death. However, God loves everyone and He sent Christ to atone for our sins. All of us are saved by grace if we accept Jesus as our Savior. That being said, the church has no business promoting sin, and therefore we are not performing homosexual marriages or ordaining practicing homosexuals, no more than we are condoning or promoting any other kind of sex outside of marriage.

They always give a local but one can get anesthesia for it which at least means it is painful for many people and not just that I am a wuss.

I'm having it done by my Oncologist's nurse, and the last time she did it I though she gave sedation as it was the least painful it has ever been. So I did sedation the next time and was out for an hour plus. The next time my Oncologist did it and I passed on sedation thinking I was overblowing things after that one time...and it hurt like hell.

The nurse is scheduled to do it this time again so I'll go with just the local and hope for the best as the pain sucks if it is not done perfectly but I am not sure it is worth the hour plus trade of for a minute or two of pain, even if is can be spectacular pain.

You are an established man, a successful lawyer so you have status and you're well spoken, have the gift of gab, used to talking in front of people and not sounding like an idiot. Your politics and your ability to defend and articulate your position against a chick whose head ids full of feminist/leftist BS.........FFS dude you are armed to be a master pussy slayer in that town.

RPG rockets? With boosters. Wooden case thereof. ???? Doesn't elaborate, doesn't say "inert" or training rounds. Curious.

Can't buy/use tracers here, but the 54R orange tracer is out of stock anywho. But they do have 54R blanks - they call them grenade launching rounds ..... but I'm not aware of a 54R rifle grenade ever having been developed (need to look into that).

710 Kinda interesting that the number of lives lost on highways is within 10k of what it was in the 70s and the number of crashes is within a few thousand of the crashes then. So we have about the same amount of screw ups but fewer deaths. And that's mostly because of engineering and safety requirements.

Seems like the need to concentrate on the education and testing of the american driver instead of billions and cultural upset by making us buy electrical cars that drive themselves.

With computers, simulators could be a part of the testing regime instead of human observers. Lots more people could be processed plus one could take remedial courses at home.

Safe driving is a state of mind. Yes you have to have training as to the mechanics of driving but driving safely under varying conditions is a mental exercise.

I remember my driving improved just with a few hours course on defensive driving when I was a cab driver.

But then they wouldn't get the control they want.

You want safe drivers, you send everyone through a Police Academy course, not only of Pursuit Driving, but moving through traffic like a shark through a school of fish, Slow is Smooth, and Smooth is Fast, clearing intersections in Pursuit Mode, Handling a vehicle at the extremes of the performance envelope (soaped and soaked skid pad to substitute for ice), and more.

Drivers who can handle the car at the edges are drivers who EXCEL in the center dimensions. Or in normal traffic.

720 Pete - re deficit spending .... I'm agin' it!

Speaking of which, and speaking of the *real* Foghorn Leghorn South Carolina figure - Fritz Hollings - when I started my labors in the World's Greatest Deliberative Body, the deficit was a big issue (imagine someone so old they lived when deficits were an issue, and can still type a comment - amazing).

The deficit-limiting vehicle of the time was known as Gramm-Rudman (Phil Gramm/TX, Warren Rudman/NH).

Fritz, in one of his better Senate floor tirades, noted that the bill was actually "Gramm-Rudman-HOLLINGS", but that last part always gets left off!". I have long meant to look up his speech in the Congressional Record. True to form, he made his points with humor, acid, and amazing spontaneous oratory (he rarely read from paper, and his staff, aside from his poor long-suffering chief of staff, were banned from the floor, by him).

From memory, I remember him talking about being "on the balanced budget wagon, but we're fallin' off that wagon, we're taking a nip from Bushmill's voodoo" (a brilliant thing incorporating a reference to Bush Sr's "voodoo economics" in the 1980 campaign). Ah, Fritz.

727 publius, when I worked in the Senate, several of my staff friends from other offices had an agreement - whenever Fritz took the floor to speak, regardless of topic, we'd alert each other, so we could get to a TV and watch/listen. It could be that entertaining.

"Judge" Heflin of Alabama could be similar, fantastic accent and way of talking. Dale Bumpers of Arkansas thought he had the southern gift of oratory, but he was mostly annoying. His colleague David Pryor (the older one) however could be good - still recall his speech in which he worked in his first country lawyer experience in the case of "the blue tick hound". Pryor was also one of the nicest guys there, totally normal and friendly.

The Charleston accent is unique, sort of an accent enclave. (Savannah was as well). Unfortunately, it's dying out. Modern language "smoothing" is killing it.

Anyway, you have to get some really old timers indeed (80s and 90s) to get an example of the real Charleston accent. You can find examples online.

The low country here was famous for R-dropping, and that is dying out as well.

Anyway. You quoted one of his classics, but not THE classic, in the view of some.

"You'd find these potentates from down in Africa, you know, rather than eating each other, they'd come up and just get a good square meal in Geneva." (statement made at a press conference after a round of trade talks in Geneva where Hollings was on the Senate observer group)

Hollywood has never done a proper Southern accent. It's infuriating. And there are many different types.

Brits actors can do them pretty damn good. I remember some Brit actress on one of the late night shows, Leno maybe. The topic came up and he asked her to "do a Southern accent". She replied, "Which one?" Tennessee, Alabama, etc, etc?

She did both, IIRC, and had it down pat. British and Southern are much closer than other American accents.

Posted by: Common Tater at May 11, 2021 01:27 AM (aVY3U)

746 Miklos, wrong again (alert the media, and Guiness Book).

"Standard American English (SAE)", a controversial concept, is found principally on the west coast, and in a few northeast areas not far from NYC (from memory, all this).

Midwest accents are flat, there is the infamous added "r" ("Warshington") in some areas. The accent of TV and most radio was SAE, and growing up in SoCal, of course, one didn't notice it, since it was the way everyone talked here.

I too lament, greatly, the death of accents and dialects, and with my lifespan and experience have seen it first-hand, making it more concrete.

I wonder if Brazil, a huge place with lots of regional accents and dialects, is "homogenizing" - I spent half a year there a ways back, traveled all over, and the true diversity was great.

Then there was a linguist, a very clever, cunning one you might say, who gave a talk at Furman one time. My mother and her friends went to it and were just gobsmacked.

The guy could listen you to talk for a little bit and tell you where your born (or at least learned to talk) with great precision. Like 20 mile radius. (That radius gets wider farther west).

Some of them tried to fool him by doing an accent. He wasn't fooled and heard their true accent underneath, saying something like "Well, you were born in X trying to sound like you're from Y, and not doing too well a job of it."

No longer though.

Strom best moment in his later years was at an Armed Services Hearing (this was just after my time on the Hill) about gays in the military. Witness was a very articulate and personable rep of some gay rights' group. The exchange was classic - and even Strom's staffers were laughing. Haven't been able to find it online.

Anyway, paraphrasing, Strom asked - "Mr Smith, has medical science found a way to make you people normal?"

"We like to think we're just as normal as you, Senator"

(whole SASC hearing room - including Thurmond staffers - erupts in laughter - Strom looks around, not comprehending)

755 Miklos, in the small towns of the far south of the South Island of New Zealand (well, they're all small), the Scottish accent is easy to descry for the language geek. With town names like Dunedin, the reason is not too much of a mystery. But the small numbers and slow pace of life have left the influences more intact.

Strom, in his heyday, groped the asses of young Sally Quinn and her mother at the same time.

He was at some dinner party (Daddy was some what we call Deep Stater, and his wife was a big Washington social type), and he jest went up, squeezed in between them and goosed both their asses at the same time. They both went "Whooop!" at the same time.

That was J. Strom.

759 Have noted this one before. On a sightseeing train from the Brazilian city of Curitiba down to the historic coffee port of Paranagua (restored for tourism purposes), I was one of the only people in a car. Two young couples got on the car, far behind me.

I heard them speaking Portuguese, but the accent was weird.

Turned around. Sure enough, Japanese-Brazilians, with a distinct Japanese accent to their native, fluent Portuguese. Have no idea how common that was, but at the time, the Japanese part of Sao Paulo, Liberdade, had Japanese radio/TV/newspapers, and I was told even street signs.

Old Strom joke: You told it on some big state politician, the governor being the usual one. It was Carrol Campbell, IIRC, when I first heard.

The guv is having some problems of the sort that the little blue pill remedies nowadays. He knew of the legend of Strom's prowess, and decided to ask him for some advice.

Strom said, "I'ss tell ya son. What I do before I get at it, I just pull it out and thump it on the bed post a few times. That limbers it up and gets the blood a-flowin'".

Gov thinks well, hell. That evening he goes home to the Mrs. And he thinks, this is crazy, but I guess it can't hurt. He finds his wife in bed, sort of dozing.

He whips out Mr. Happy and starts thumpin' the bed post at the foot of the bed. Thump, thump, thump! That rouses up the Mrs.

She exclaims, "Strom, what's the matter with you! Get the hell out of here, my husband will be home any minute now!"

Here is a pretty detailed accent map of the United States. You'll note the Charleston and Savannah enclaves.

You will notice something interesting about my haunts. Here in Greenville (and Pickens and Oconee), we're in a little knob of the "Inland South" major type. Note how it meanders around, even getting as far as West Texas.

That map is quite complex, with all sort of sub boundaries that have to do with variations of the major types.

826 Skip they started on the bathrooms yesterday. Jackhammered for 2 hours straight.

That was fun

Supposedly started removing the tile floor in the back half of the store yesterday afternoon. Should be interesting to see if I can get to the coolers.

Posted by: My life is insanity at May 11, 2021 03:36 AM (FsNRH)

827 They really must leave a path, doing half then other half or bridge over. Even now when working in a open business you don't get to take over.

that's it! i earned the blue rope, the crossed rifles and the blue background, but never that.

"conflicted" would be a word to describe my take on things...
as would be "grateful". i've witnessed the price they paid for it. (and that's the living ones)

They will be when the government makes IC engines too expensive to produce, kind of like they did with coal.

841 I was a Marine as was my brother and his two sons and my son.
I asked my grandsons if they were going to join the military and they laughed and said, "No Paw Paw we aren't gay." They also said their friends male and female felt the same way. The youth of today those not gay see the military as Gay.
We have a Military that is now known as Gay.
I would not join the Marines today, I'm not gay either.
