57 Hey, cat fans,

Had to take the older cat, who had not been eating and was staggering a little when he walked, to the emergency vet this morning. (He *would* pick a holiday to be sick.) He was dehydrated, and his blood glucose was kind of high. But they told me that cats can sometimes spike their blood sugar under stress. He's in the hospital until tomorrow morning for fluids, an anti-emetic, an anti-diarrheal, and an appetite stimulant.

Since he hadn't been sick in the slightest before this past Tuesday when we bugged out, maybe this is an isolated incident and he won't need insulin injections, etc.

122 57 Hey, cat fans,

Had to take the older cat, who had not been eating and was staggering a little when he walked, to the emergency vet this morning. (He *would* pick a holiday to be sick.) He was dehydrated, and his blood glucose was kind of high. But they told me that cats can sometimes spike their blood sugar under stress. He's in the hospital until tomorrow morning for fluids, an anti-emetic, an anti-diarrheal, and an appetite stimulant.

You gave your cat ivermectin, right? Your cat is taking up a bed that could be used by gunshot vicitms!

When you go pick up your cat tomorrow, don't forget to bundle up. The cold weather in Oklahoma this time of year is brutal.

Went fishing for sea bass out of Marblehead, MA with a couple of co-workers. They had these huge centipede looking bait ( *shudders* ) that was very difficult to handle because the body sections would break apart when trying to attach them to the hook. That and the things would bite and squirm.

157 So, the reporter at USA Today who "fact checked" Biden looking at his watch admitted that he was wrong. His "fact check" was insistent that Biden never checked his watch until the ceremony was over.

He blatantly did not, he checked his watch repeatedly. So he did a retraction and said "oopsie, that was an error" ... which it was not, it was just sloppy work because he didn't WANT Biden to look bad and wanted to dunk on the right.

But worse, he then went on to get mad at people for pointing out his stupid ridiculous error by saying: "It's easy to dunk on journalists when we get things wrong. I get it - to many, we're just another name on a screen. But behind that screen is a person trying to do their best."

The problem is, this wasn't an article that had an error, it was a FACT CHECK that he got totally, inexcusably wrong. But his last line... that's the saddest part. I think he's right: this IS the best they can offer. That's how incompetent and stupid they are.

239 In both Vietnam and Afghanistan it was neither incompetence nor negligence. In both wars the ending was a deliberate and intentional action by Democrats to achieve the end they desired; failure of the US military.

I know people are going to cite Hanlon's razor, and cry "never ascribe to malice that which may be explained by stupidity". However there is such a thing as malice, and the deliberate and intentional acts of government, much as they did during the holocaust, can and do rise to the level of malice.

When stupid people do things that turn out badly, they have no explanations for what they did; that is because they never intended the outcome they achieved.

When malicious acts become apparent, malicious actors have a whole slew of excuses and narratives ready to try to cover up for their acts, because they knew what the outcome would be.

We are seeing the behavior of malicious, not stupid or negligent, people in the aftermath of Afghanistan.

Complicated question because there are several definitions of Roman emperor floating around, but if you're looking for the one that finally handed the city over to the Germans for the last time that would be Romulus Augustus. A teenager elevated to the purple as a proxy for his father and other warring nobles, he had little agency in the final collapse and the conquerors let him live out his life in peace. The manipulative father, the real power behind the fall, was not so lucky.

Milley may not be wrong about that. If the place really is ungovernable, the Tolly Bon may have as much trouble holding it as everyone else has. Hope isn't a strategy, however.

316 Civil war, which is pretty much an ongoing thing to some extent at all times in a place like A'stan - that's what makes it A'stan - looks pretty much over, for now. A'stan geeks who follow things closely seem to believe resistance in Panshir Valley has been crushed. District capital taken by Talib.

However, it is A'stan, so this too is a temporary thing, or at least not cut/dried as we are used to. Resistance will remain and flare up, and not just there. The place will still run on family, tribe, region, $$$, the lash, with lots of outside influences in the mix.

363 Our nearly sole interest in A'stan is/was preventing its use as a safe-haven by AQ. AQ was there, still, and if Trump's deal had been followed - and had actually gone according to plan - that would still be true.

But AQ globally was effectively destroyed earlier, the environment for it to operate or survive also radically altered on the state level. For the most part. Pakistan, Iran, and failed-state enclaves like parts of Syria or Yemen or Somalia will still be there for jihadists and salafists of varying stripes.

Biggest loss in A'stan is the close contact with the enemy that is key to intel. But that was likely inevitable, as A'stan was simply not sustainable any longer as a direct US intervention. And without us, as we see, any structure we helped develop was likely to disintegrate as the place returned to mean.

Over and over I keep seeing stories where the media claims HUGE HORRIFIC NUMBERS then has to backtrack because the numbers were false, or the percentages are wrong, or they just did a misleading recount.

And what's even more frustrating is how the media is treating every single positive test of Wuhan Flu as "a case". Not only are there a lot of false positives, but most actual positives are... people who weren't even aware they had the crud. They imply by omitting details that every kid that tests positive is dying in a hospital bed.

Why is it people are fine with humans being murdered in horrible ways in a movie, but hate it when a dog gets killed?

She gets to a home where a guy is living and his dog is outside.

The dog barks then hides, because horrendous monster. The T Rex tears the place apart and eats the man! You can't see the dog any more, oh no! But then there's a shot of it climbing out of its little Snoopy house and the audience sighs.

Who cares about the guy right? As long as Rover lives! Yay! Uh....

499 The GOP gambit MIGHT even make a bit of sense in that people hate the GOP and don't need to be reminded why.
So if they keep their head down, their mouth shut and avoid seizing and pouncing, they don't become the focus.

If you (GOP) won't fight on the battlefield today when it is needed, why would one think they'll fight later? The answer is they won't fight and has been running the same play since 93, which is too say that once in power, they renig on every promise made.

500 They're up there talking about Covid. Nothing fishy about that.

501 What kind of mess have I been lured into here?

502 Do you know if it is the one they were restoring at the Salem airport? Last time I saw it in 2014 it was in bad shape.

That's the one that was advertising a gas station in Oregon city, before the end of 2019 I was asked to consider sitting in with the group because they wanted someone who could talk about parts with suppliers.

503 I got a dark chocolate bar not extremely dark, like 65% or something. It has chili peppers and poprocks in it. Pretty cool.

I always wondered how they melted the chocolate over the pop rocks, without them poppin'. Has to be sorcery.

504 If anyone knows a book that will help, please let me know? I'm feeling rather stupid at the moment.

505 Every pilot's checklist should include a reminder never to fly below BGL (below ground level). If you do you will need to be instrument rated because it's really dark down there.

Used to be a joke that private pilots flying then inland route to Alaska needed to upgrade to the Granite rated prop

I lived in Reading, and remember going with my father down to some industrial buildings near the Schuylkill River after Agnes. We were there to clean up the muck, and the water line had been up to the second floor. Really surreal, realizing that the building I was in was almost completely underwater at some point.

507 473 I should probably have asked this yesterday in the book thread, but I'm trying to learn to pray in Latin (seems appropriate to have separate liturgical language), but I cannot keep the endings straight.

Ann, this is my favorite site for latin prayers

510 Any morons living in the Dakotas? I am trying to convince PapaB that we should retire there. Yeah, I have heard it's like a snow fortress half the year but my criteria are for a red state where we can buy a decent house for cash after selling our home in Portlandia area and paying off our bills. Don't want to be near a big city (within range of rats deserting ship in case of unrest).
