ONT Without Representation Is Tyranny!
Hello, Horde. I'm tired. It's open enrollment time, and that means lots of work for me. How are all y'all doing? Anyone care for a cup of coffee?
History Minute
An Archaeological Dig Reignites the Debate Over the Old Testament’s Historical Accuracy Interesting article about an archaeological dig at what may very well be the legendary King Solomon's Mines. There's a good bit about the two schools of thought in biblical archaeology. What I find interesting about biblical archaeology is not the lack of archaeological confirmation of any given bible story, but the fact that there's never been any discoveries that disprove history as recounted in the bible. If it was all just mythology, you'd think there there would be some glaring contradictions with discovered reality. This article talks about an interesting concept, that many of the societies in the bible may be “archaeologically invisible”. In other words, there existed societies of high culture and accomplishment, but being nomadic in nature they didn't leave behind any artifacts that have withstood the ravages of time.What Ben-Yosef has produced isn’t an argument for or against the historical accuracy of the Bible but a critique of his own profession. Archaeology, he argues, has overstated its authority. Entire kingdoms could exist under our noses, and archaeologists would never find a trace. Timna is an anomaly that throws into relief the limits of what we can know. The treasure of the ancient mines, it turns out, is humility.Fascinating stuff.

For The People
Lawmaker Introduces Bill to Force Employer to Pay as Much as $1 Million Per Vaccine Injury If It Enforces Biden’s Mandate
A state lawmaker in Oklahoma is bringing forth a bill to fine employers as much as $1 million per vaccine injury if they enforce Biden’s unlawful federal vaccine mandate.This may have been overtaken by events. Since the Fifth Circuit ruled against OSHA, don't companies lose their immunity to vaccine related lawsuits if they mandate vaccination? Good for him, anyway. Related:
Oklahoma’s Senate Bill 1106, the “Citizen Health Mandate Protection Act,” was submitted on Friday by State Sen. Rob Standridge. It is aimed at both public and private entities and individuals that mandate vaccines or other medical treatments as a condition of employment.
Employers who force medical treatments onto unwilling employees could be liable for $1 million in punitive damages if injured by that treatment, including forced Covid vaccinations.

Now, factcheck.org says that what this doctor is saying has been proven wrong, but they appear to be talking about claims made in the full clip which can be found here. I have not had time to watch the longer interview, but nothing in their article seems to pertain to the section of the interview embedded above. In any event, if factcheck told me that grass was green I'd need to see independent confirmation.
Troll Level: Elite Here, the British PK team is enchanted by Polish fans during the humiliation ritual
During the Europa League match in Warsaw between Legia Warsaw and British Leicester City on Thursday, the Polish fans rolled out a giant banner with the Polish strongman champion Mariusz Pudzianowski and the text “Kneel before His Majesty” just when it was time for the obligatory humiliation ritual there Western European teams are expected to kneel before Black Lives Matter.Heehee. Brilliant
The Polish fans, who knew of the British ‘constant kneeling in the face of the American violence, had prepared a banner that could be rolled out in a flash.
They Can Never Take Away Our Freedom
Oxi Day and “Freedom or Death.” Lest we forget
In the weeks before Oct. 28, 1940, Italian dictator Benito Mussolini had gathered his massive war machine on the Greek border with Albania. Mussolini had heavy armor, artillery and tanks. He had thousands of fighter planes and hundreds of thousands of soldiers, well fed and well equipped. The Greeks were poor. They had none of that. They were outnumbered by 10 to 1. There was no Greek war machine, and no Greek Air Force, just a handful old WWI fighters from which pilots could toss hand grenades out as bombs, but nothing more. It was then that Mussolini delivered his ultimatum to Greece: Capitulate and allow the Italian occupation to proceed, and in exchange he would not destroy the country nor slaughter its people. All the Greeks had to do was kneel to Mussolini in and they would live. Other nations had capitulated. And now it was Greece’s turn to kneel. The deadline for the ultimatum was set at October 28, 1940. At about 3 a.m. the Greek Prime Minister Ioannis Metaxas gave his answer to the Italian ambassador: “Oxi.” No.

Monty Python Comedian John Cleese Cancels Himself "Before Someone Else Does" Seems the special snowflakes at Cambridge University got art critic Andrew Graham-Dixon canceled, for doing an impersonation of Adolf Hitler. Hearing this, Cleese canceled his own scheduled appearance at the university because he had done the same in his Monty Python days. Problematic Here's what you should know about babywearing and cultural appropriation Human beings have been carrying their infants in various types of slings from time immemorial, across the globe. Here's why that's not allowed when westerners do it. It's all such bullshit. I used to carry baby Little in a Baby Bjorn all the time (when I culturally appropriate, it's from the Swedes). In fact, it was only the fact that I was wearing a baby that kept me from getting into a fistfight at Ground Zero when Little was about six weeks old. It keeps your hands free while securing the baby safely. “Cultural appropriation”? What garbage. Know what the proper term for adopting successful strategies from other cultures is? “Human progress”.

I've seen it suggested that Hitler was ready to ignore Mussolini's Greek fiasco, right up until the British landed troops in Greece. Then it suddenly had the potential to become a serious threat, and Hitler felt that he had to snuff out Greek resistance immediately before the British could expand out of Greece and threaten Eastern Europe. I've also heard it said that the Greeks specifically asked the British not to send troops, but the British disregarded the Greek request.
True? False? I haven't researched it, so I don't know. But I throw it out there.
On another note, as I mentioned a few days ago, I've been listening to the audiobook of 'Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailers'. Apparently when he wrote the book, the author was unaware of what had happened to the HMS Glorious. That's a bit odd because there are two reasons why the HMS Glorious is historically significant. The first is that she was the first aircraft carrier sunk by enemy gunfire. The second is that she was the recipient of one of two possible contenders for "longest cannon shot that successfully hit its target" by the German battleship Scharnhorst at 26,000 yards.

All options are on the table. I'll run through them as best I can, but I'm not terribly hopeful. As has been commented, to submit or walk away is the choice that faces me right now.

Part of the problem is that the game needs to be high enough profile for a person to recognize it. If it's too niche, it doesn't work well.

We're facing challenging times to protect even the right to speak the truth, and it's spilling over to every imaginable area (even "non-political" sites).
I've been banned from TWO guitar forums. Yes, *guitar* forums where people gather to discuss guitars, guitar pickups, guitar pedals, guitar amps, etc. My sins?
I received a 2 week ban for explaining "supply and demand" (Economics 101) in a thread discussing rising prices for new & used guitars. When I received my ban, I private messaged a moderator who showed up at ANOTHER SITE & pointed out how silly that action was. We didn't hit it off and he made my ban on the ORIGINAL site "permanent".
On the 2nd site, I was given a 6-MONTH ban for responding to a thread about Springsteen appearing on Colbert's show. Some asked (innocently enough) what could have been wrong with that appearance (they seemed genuinely not to understand Springsteen and Colbert's politics). I pointed out that Springsteen basically said all of us white people secretly hated Clarence Clemons & would have called him the n-word if we had seen him in real life. My post was deemed "racially charged".

Germany lost because Hitler believed his own press. There was absolutely no need to rush into invading Russia. After the French and Britsh basically screwed up the start of the war (they should have went right in to Germany while nearly the whole Wehrmacht was tied up in Poland) and Hitler got France, Hitler should have just sat there. British couldn't have done anything by itself, and the Soviets couldn't have invaded without the U.S. feeding them and giving them materials and transport. Nazis would probably STILL be sitting on Europe.

Posters can claim that the riots are fine, that liberal guests have "rights", and that we all have to be considerate. But the moment someone attempts to politely rebut their positions, conservative posts are deemed "out of bounds" and those providing them are ushered out of the conversation.

Really, I wish I understood old history well enough to understand all the implications and comparisons to today. I do not.
History may not repeat, but it rhymes ... Sefton said in that recent podcast. BUT I do believe current times have changed so much so fast, that we can barely keep up with the speed of subterfuge ... or Lightning Wats, Blitzkriegs at digital light speed.
Hitler had not infiltrated Western civilizations like the globalists/DeepState/Leftists have today. And he had no such DeepIntrusion operational MindFluck machinery like Google/FB/Twitter ... or a global propaganda machine like the MFM.
I don't think we're in Kansas anymore ... but we are also not in a dream over the rainbow ... this is real life planned central control by Globalists and their mafias, and the color revolution is only their false front.

His action in this case was taken against Cancel Culture, which he's spoken against in the past. In his comments about why he was withdrawing, he made it clear - in way that the headline does not - that he was basically withdrawing from the event in support of the art critic who had been cancelled. If the art critic wasn't going to be allowed to present, then Cleese would not present either.

This is a really good explanation and mirrors what I experienced IRL after Saint Floyd of Fentanyl died and the riots ensued.
At my old employer we were subjected to hours of presentations about how "riots are the language of the unheard" and that it was time for people that looked like me to sit down and shut up.
No actual actions needed to be taken by management; it was utterly implied that any dissent from this narrative from anyone who looks like me was a career-limiting move.
The bifurcation of this country has to be stopped and reversed aggressively, and soon, or it will be too late.

Shelling is by removing the kernels from the cob"
yes, combines are pretty awesome ... adjustments made for average cob size ... so they get max kernels. I have some old pics of my uncles shucking by hand in winter, horses pulling the wagon ... around 1930's I guess.

Yup!! Loved that game! Wish I could find one for my basement.
It had a great speaker system and awesome detail on the console. Drink holders and a foot rail like a real bar. Gotta love the 80s - I was playing that game at arcades as a pre-teen!!

At my old employer we were subjected to hours of presentations about how "riots are the language of the unheard" and that it was time for people that looked like me to sit down and shut up.
No actual actions needed to be taken by management; it was utterly implied that any dissent from this narrative from anyone who looks like me was a career-limiting move.
The bifurcation of this country has to be stopped and reversed aggressively, and soon, or it will be too late.

Half of them seem to have no idea at all what kind of world they're ushering in, and the other half are applauding the world we're creating where "vacuum cleaner" discussion sites are going to be chock-full of "burn the cities down because they're raycist" types of discussions.

I like higher proof whiskey (at least 90 proof, usually higher) with depth of flavor from aging. Haven't found an Irish whiskey that fits those criteria. Not sure if one exists.

I remember reading something years ago where a streamer actually played the game in real time (this is a game where you sail from your base in Denmark and raid convoys off the english coast for other peeps.) You are also supposed to use the time speed commands to speed up the sea crossings.

Yes, that's what started the problem at Strat-talk.com There were about 50 posts where people were mystified why guitar prices new and used were climbing a few months into the "Let's print money like crazy" period of Covid. I pointed out that basic economics says that the government's response to Covid issued more money and that their Covid rules crashed production. It was simple supply and demand. I woke up the next morning facing a ban for "politics".

Define your terms "cheap and expensive", please! For cheap - Wild Turkey 101. Under $20 usually. Decent slipper and not too expensive for a mixer. Under $30 - Buffalo Trace (if you can find it), Makers, Jim Beam Bonded (100 proof). Under $40 - Knob Creek!!! Several more in the $50 area. So I see no need to pay more.

The game really changes quite a bit once you get past that part and open up the Clerk Ward and points beyond. It branches out a bit and then moves into a more linear story towards the end. Really great stuff happens, though.

Forgot about Elijah Craig small batch -- very good stuff! Another underrated brand is Old Forester. Can't go wrong with Woodford Reserve -- especially the Double Oaked.
I'm a big fan of New Riff - bourbon and rye. Not widely available outside of Kentucky. It's made up near Cincy. I always bring a bottle or 2 home whenever I drive to/from Kentucky. Priced in the $40-$45 range. 100 proof. Very good.

Well, I think part of the problem is that FEAR came out before either of those games. FEAR's big things were the creepy atmosphere, and the AI of the enemies. Generally, up until FEAR, mook AI generally consisted of "charge at the player while firing". FEAR's mooks would actively try and do different things, such as flank you, although they still became predictable as you got used to them.
Far Cry and Doom (I'm guessing that you're talking about the first Doom reboot) came a little later, and expanded what FEAR had done. So you're comparing FEAR with the next generation of games. Even so, imo, Doom relied far too much on jump scares.

there's a meme on FB that says coffee was introduced in Europe in 1515, and Luther nailed up his 96 Theses in 1517. "Beware of a caffeinated priest!"
True, but I always thought Marty was more of a beer guy.

Far Cry and Doom (I'm guessing that you're talking about the first Doom reboot) came a little later, and expanded what FEAR had done. So you're comparing FEAR with the next generation of games. Even so, imo, Doom relied far too much on jump scares.

It was the peak of show not tell story telling. Better than Half-Life, imo, for setting a tone. Up until Alma first wipes out that squad it plays pretty much like a standard CoD or Half Life. Then things start going sideways because they let the creepiness breathe. Never too much at once until towards the end when everything goes banana sandwich.

I'm a big fan of New Riff - bourbon and rye. Not widely available outside of Kentucky. It's made up near Cincy. I always bring a bottle or 2 home whenever I drive to/from Kentucky. Priced in the $40-$45 range. 100 proof. Very good.

Lol! I never really bonded with a Les Paul. My guitar heroes growing up were Jimmy Page and Ritchie Blackmore, and Blackmore just had this "coolness" factor that Page couldn't top. My first guitar was a 2-knob Squier Strat and it didn't hurt that Dire Straits was at their peak around about that time.
I have 4 really nice Strats at the moment. 3 are legitimate Fender products, and the 4th is an SX Strat copy that still had the plastic on it when I bought it used. I put Fender MIA pots/caps/switch in it, and then added Fender Tex Mex pickups in it. All together I have less than $300 in that one and I'll never sell it--it would put the run of the mill Fender MIM Strats to shame.

So I thought I was taking a load out today. Tomorrow. S'cool.
So on a whim I watched Wreck It Ralph. Picked it up cheap at Walmart as part of their stupidly early Black Friday sales along with a few other (mostly) animated movies including Ralph Breaks The Internet.
Meh.
It's a lovely ode to games and gamers but holy shit is this movie just...empty. It's bright and sugary (almost literally) and pretty much devoid of any real depth. It doesn't even have songs. Frozen was downright immoral but at least it had freakin' songs. But it's like so much animation out there. The hell with depth, just throw in a shit ton of pop culture references. It'll be fine.
So disappointing. I saw it in the theater and remember enjoying it. Not so much anymore.

I did. You didn't miss much.
IIRC, one of the things that caused me to quit playing very quickly was when I realized that if a character stood in an open doorway, the door would eventually close and squish them, killing them instantly. And your two NPC followers who needed to stay alive (or the game would immediately end) weren't smart enough to not stand in an open doorway.

Took me a long time to bond with a les paul. I played V's for years, no cutaway to deal with, and the les paul felt confining in the cutaway. I used to call les pauls old man guitars, then I eventually bought one in the 90's. I think I have 5 or 6 now. Not as effortless as the V, but I can manage. They do sound great though.

They ran out of time and money. Square's priorities were elsewhere at the time, and an odd mecha CRPG with Gnostic plot elements wasn't something that they were going to throw cash at "just because". Only Final Fantasy got that treatment.

Strats I went a little crazy with. No clue why, I don't use them much, but I picked up a highway 1 strat and it just felt really cool, and it was frigging cheap, so over the years I think I grabbed 5 or 6 more and painted them the custom colors, like dakota red, fiesta red, lake placid blue, etc. I only really use it for the very few pink floyd songs I know when I step out of my normal genre. Then I picked up a real nice american strat standard, and grabbed some of those. Then I got a few with humbuckers and hot rails for the iron maiden thing. Next thing I know I'm up to my eyebrows in the damn things. I'm guitarded. lol

Sonny's success is comparative: the local competition sucks. His bite is off, he does not have a pretty head and his tail is a bit short. But he's a smart boy and moves beautifully.
Still, the rule is "breed the best to the best" and he's in fourth place in that category. So, no, it's just simpler to have him neutered.

Lol--I respect that! I don't *need* 4 Strats--I play only at home and sometimes with friends. But I can afford it when I want something. Each of my Strats has a thick neck which I find easier to get around on, and either the specs were perfect when I bought them or I knew they could be made perfect for a reasonable cost.
I'm particular about what I buy. I love the *sound* of a Clapton signature Strat, but I prefer bigger frets and just don't want to compromise in that regard. I'm thinking an Eric Johnson signature Strat might be my next purchase.

I don't want to contradict what anyone else says, and Elijah Craig is great bourbon, but Evan Williams Single Barrels for the last few years have received rave reviews and I really have enjoyed them. Not a flashy name, but they really are high quality.
I haven't had the 2021 edition, but the last two editions were fantastic. Usually between $30-35.

That's really sad, in a precious way. Back in 2019 when Kitty was still alive, despite having only 3 legs, weighing next to nothing, arthritis, kidney disease, a tumor on her liver, pancreatitis, and a few other things, she loved being with her mama (my ex) and being held. It was the sweetest, tenderest thing I ever saw. It truly was like a mother-daughter relationship where the young daughter has a terminal disease but hangs on from love. I feel blessed to have been there and to have been able to support what was my family in its most vulnerable hour. I empathize with you, Mike.

Additional fun rabbit hole to do down: Gunnar Heinsohn has been arguing for years that ~700 years in the first millenium have been pulled out of a multitude of peoples' asses. It sounds batshit at first glance but it's rather compelling when you consider the arguments and evidence.

yup, gotta agree with all that. I was in a priest cover band for a bit, we probably did 20 songs. At that time I never really knew who did the leads I was learning, and since none of it was actually hard I really couldn't tell who was better. It was only later I figured out most of them were tipton. As luck would have it the other guitar player looked like KK, so he did the leads to sinner.

Oh shit yeah, I remember that. I couldn't remember the first time that maiden wasn't there, but they were way big enough to be headlining by that time. I remember great white playing. Didn't really care for them. Maiden toured with them for 2 or 3 tours. The first time, 1980 I think, man maiden wiped the fucking floor with priest. Maiden still had the original singer. Priest comes singing shit from that pitiful point of entry album, and maiden was doing Killers. No contest.

1981 was POE. It has *2* great songs on it and everything else is lame, at best. Yeah, Killers was Paul D'Anno. I really can't get into D'Anno Maiden - too punk. If I'm going to listen to punk, I want real punk. When Bruce took over, yeah, Maiden really took off. Number of the Beast through 7th Son is a superb run of albums. Priest experimented a lot, and they're my favorite metal band, but they really put out a lot of filler.

One of these cultural appropriation fights i live is when lefties will shit a brick over a white person with dreadlocks, despite dreadlocks dating back to ancient Greece, but you know since some Jamaicans started wearing them in like 1960 they must have invented them.
Honestly though i think we should only allow people to partake in what their culture invented, because lectures will have to live with the fact they caused most minorities (outside of asians and middle easterners) to be left with absolutely nothing.

In the 'scope though, is God's Creation, and if you don't go out (your local weather permitting) to view, well, it's your loss. My view was clear enough to wonder if I might find various Apollo landing sites in the eyepiece.
Even to the naked eye, this is a sight. Go. Step out and behold God's Creation. You can warm up inside, with bourbon or such.

Factcheck.org said that Kyle had an illegal weapon.
And AFTER the Judge AND Prosecution BOTH agreed he didn't?
They have added an edit and left it stating the claim is false. with their edit that there might be questions.
Because the 20-something year old Journalism major is SURE he knows the law better than the Judge and lawyers on both sides, and only HE knows the "facts"!
It's a safe bet they're just idiots spouting party line bullcrap in this case, and every other case as well.

NO ONE can prove anything wrong about what the doctor said until they disprove his data -- and I'm certain FC.org did nothing of the kind.
The open questions remain: 1) Is this happening? The doc's stats indicate that the answer is yes, and I'm educated-guessing that no one will disprove the data. 2) WHY is this happening? The doc's suggested (emphasis, SUGGESTED) causes seem plausible. If FC.org thinks they're not, they'd better come up with an alternative to explain this troubling data -- but they won't, because they don't care about anything beyond protecting the narrative.

the fact that the mines may exist isn't really proof that the Bible is 100% true, just that the people writing the Bible lived in or around the time that King Solomon existed and had a mine.
IIRC, the existence of King Solomon is generally accepted as factual. He is (probably) a real historical figure. That a King had mines, especially when a book written around that time said that he did, isn't really some shocking revelation.
Many of Stephen King's novels are written in real cities, and reference things that occurred historically and in reality around that time. That doesn't mean that a Plymouth Fury really became self-aware and started murdering people.
Furthermore, there are a lot of things referenced in the Bible that are agreed are not historically accurate. The fall of Jericho, for instance, has literally zero historical evidence for having occurred at the time claimed. The flood of Noah, also, has been totally disproven by the geologic column, as well as the fact that there literally isn't enough water in our entire solar system to do what the Bible said happened, much less on Earth.
I could go on...
Posted by: Goober at November 19, 2021 03:42 PM (Hgvgt)
The Hebrews were never enslaved in Egypt in the way the Bible claims. The Exodus didn't happen. The conquest of Canaan as described in the OT is complete myth.
The Earth is not a flat plain, underwater, divided into four quadrants, and covered by a crystal dome to keep the water that fills outer space out.
The OT is not a historical record. That it gets some things right is merely a relic of the fact that OF COURSE someone writing a book of legends is going to reference at least some things that actually happened, and people that actually existed.
