"The Last Tram"
Milan, by Giorgio Bonapace
Cat spectators. Duck throughway. Toddler seeing a dog for the first time. Panda cuddle ball. Panda lunch. Sound on! I'm not recommending this one, but I'll include it for the brave-hearted: Panda fartclam sunbathing. It's the only way to travel. Bat bathing day. Calling your birds back in.
Inman: Savage domestic violence situation.

The Bee is the only consistently and genuinely funny thing any more. Of course, in the formerly freest and most vibrant open society in the world, famous for its humor and having no sacred cows beyond satire, they have the entire market to themselves.

When I still had two cats I would put the TV on National Geographic and move an ottoman in front of it. The cats loved it but then I had to turn it off because I thought they'd knock it off the wall.
Their heads moved in unison. I thought it was funny, I think it frustrated my cats because they weren't able to catch the critter.

Someone used to bring a tame Timber Wolf to the local dog park. It was huge and unbelievably fast, deceptively fast. In a few unnoticed strides it could go across the entire dog park. One second he was by the gate and the next at the far end. The poor dogs that played with him were taking lots of water breaks. Simply a gorgeous animal that could crush you before you knew it happened.

My ex-wife was a raised by a single dad who had to travel sometimes for work. He had a pair of timberwolves to guard the kids (and later just the house) when he was away.

It would probably work, too. Ya know, fracking is kinda expensive to do, with their breakeven point somewhere around $45 per barrel. A lot of the smaller operators probably went bust or sold out due to low demand during the 1st year of covid.
But why aren't they turning Texas into swiss cheese at today's prices? 'Tis a mystery.

Nah, the dad was a really cool guy, and a good dad. But he had to go to job sites for a week at a time a few times a year, and that's when the vicious wolves came in handy. They were totally cool and tame with him and the kids, and anyone else whos they clearly invited in.

I have no idea, sure you have a clearer picture. BUT last offer seemed reasonable, or what I expected. No NATO, accept Russia gets Crimea, DnL become independent. ... not even total demilitarization of West Ukraine ... I guess they could join EU.
But whether or not that was true (or a real offer, not just a delay to move into a better position to attack) allegedly Ukraine rejected it. I don't care, would rather see the devastation end (with a deal like that?), but sure seems like Zelensky is compromised by WEF types and their new world order.

My father, who mined gold claims in Montana in the 1930s, was treed many times by bears in Montana while hiking to/from town. Like pilots always looking for possible landing spots in case of engine failure, he said you were always looking for a tree to climb. It had to be small enough that the bear couldn't climb up after you, but big enough the bear couldn't knock it down.
Alternatively, you could hike with a partner who's a slower runner than you.

The EVs are a way to get batteries in the wild for storing electricity from unicorn farts, and you're going to pay for that storage capacity.
You won't be allowed to drive your car during peak times since "your" battery's energy is needed elsewhere.
Your battery will be used for storing power for industry. You will get nothing for your $65,000 purchase.

********
I looked up the figure for how much gasoline is produced in the US each day (had to calculate it, something like 8 million barrels per day). If this is correct, and I don't know if 8 million bpd is the correct figure, it represents something like 200% of the amount of electricity that is produced daily in the US.
Now, this was a quick-and-dirty calculation, so I'm not certain I have everything correct, but if it is, our grid simply will be overwhelmed by the introduction of EVs.
We'll need a hell of a lot of either coal-fired plants or nuclear plants, in order to make this work. And then string up the high-voltage cables to the areas that need it.

The Alkali metals have one extra electron on an outer shell and so have a great desire to ditch this to something electronegative. Lithium burns on contact with water, sodium burns quickly and i think potassium burns so hot the hydrogen freed from the water catches fire as well.

It's common knowledge to you because as you said you played in the area. But the vast majority of the public has no idea.
3 years ago one of the big Boston hospitals, Beth Israel I think, was planing a new lithium battery storage area as past of a major hospital expansion. They were down to the final approval stage when the BFD had to get involved to approve all the fire code issues and discovered they were planning to put the batteries in the basement of the hospital and the whole project was put on hold.
They had to redesign the whole thing and build a completely separate building to house the batteries. And this is just one project that was caught in time. There are a lot of buildings out there that got approved that are major disaster just waiting to happen.

One of the dirty little secrets of the new generation of lithium batteries is they are much more susceptible to catching fire and when they do they are very difficult to extinguish.
Posted by: JackStraw at March 07, 2022 08:46 PM (ZLI7S)
Does this translate to worse problems if electric cars are involved in accidents? I know absolutely nothing about the mechanics of lithium batteries, but it seems that if they catch fire and its more difficult to put out, if a car with such a battery is involved in an accident, it would complicate things for rescue teams as well as survivability for passengers.

Probably true - in the 80s conscripts went thru a 2 year program and in year 1 were learning which end of a gun was which. Russian units in WWII had procedures to split the unit into an action portion and a training portion, one of the ways they managed to build units of a sort faster than the Germans could kill them in the early going.
I also heard from a decent source that much of the heavier fighting was being done by the militias of the break-away republics to fix the Uke army while more free wheeling ops were done by the regulars, and most losses are from the former.

Russia is almost certainly going to default on an upcoming coupon payment in dollar denominated debt, and on even bigger maturation of dollar debt in late April or May.
The reason is with all the sanctions and the financial cancelling of Russia, they've made it impossible for Russia to make the dollar payments. So Putin says we'll pay in rubles.
This violates the terms of those bonds, of course. And it will trigger CDS, and those on the other side of that transactions will be on the hook. I don't think it will be that big of an event for the financial system here, but it will be significant.
Think about this, thought. Suppose A owes B money via contractual obligation, but B does something to make it impossible for A to pay that. Did A really default?

Because schools don't teach war - it triggers students, I suppose.

Getting a lot of conscripts killed is an excellent way to get a new Russian leader. It is a radioactive issue. 1 year conscripts does not help modern combat power, but can help logistics.

My electric rate has increased about 25% over last year, but the cost of natural gas (per 1000 cubic ft) has increased by about 2.5 times....since last January.
We bought a new, high efficiency gas furnace last summer. The old one that came with the house also had a crack in the heat exchanger (found when it was being removed).
My heating bills would be terrifyingly high if we still had the old furnace. This must be hitting some people REALLY hard.

I guess the US really did do too good of a job minimizing civilian casualties in 'Stan and Iraq.
But I see the photos of Ukraine and...yep that is what war looks like. And for God's sake we have literally novels written on the horrors of war. How, with all the world's knowledge at our finger tips are people so ignorant?

Oh, but the horrors now are cut from video games, and the slavering love of any story of deaths on the Uke side (heroic, naturally) or on the Russian side (well deserved im sure) are more disgusting than the real thing.
And of course the first act in this war was to cut information about past wars from the net to check up against.

Worse and scarier to me, is the personal thefts going on, just because 'Russian'. Yachts, banks accounts, property... all being 'confiscated' by various countries, without a declaration of War, OR any Court order saying they did something illegal. Banks are now stealing for blatantly political reasons...
Not going to help the growing distrust many of us have of the West's banking system... run by the banksters.

It is still not widely accepted that the Covid 19 virus was an engineered thing. More evidence I read the other day, that a peptide sequence from H1N1 flu was found on one of the "spikes" of the original strain, to aid in making it communicable. But this was a billion to one chance that it found it's way into a bat corona virus.

Russia's terms could be fairly minor, depending on how you interpret them.
Zelensky faces the same sort of pressure Putin does - how much pain are the war goals worth on both sides.
There are two wild cards though
1) Zelensky seems to think he can shame the western countries into direct intervention
2) The sanctions are having an effect...but how much of one on Russia?
I think #2 is a false hope. But...I fear Biden could decide to go all in as his mismanagement of the country becomes clearer and clearer and try to thread a needle of some minimal intervention in the war like a "no fly zone".

The national guard troops are in separate units, drafted in the US and conscripts in the Russian are part of the same unit. I'd expect that there is a partitioning of men from the active units from the conscript heavy portions that don't know the full procedures.

We are led by unserious people as the cliche goes who do not understand rudimentary physics and thermodynamics.
If you're gonna replace IC vehicles with electric vehicles, then you're going to need your grid to supply that energy. It's a lot. A sanctified shit-ton. Now, then you start looking at efficiencies.
You will see electric vehicles listed with greater than 100 mpg equivalent efficiencies. That's true for the energy in the battery.
You start looking a grid efficiency and you get a different picture. A fast charge is only about 50% efficient. A slow charge will be somewhat better. When you add all that in, you'll find the efficiency from prime mover to the vehicle's output is about the same as the original IC efficiency.
And that's considering the most efficiency prime movers, natural gas turbines. Nuclear or coal and that overall efficiency is less than than even gasoline engine efficiency.

Certainly nothing we have done sanction-wise has been surprising, except maybe the lack of sanctions on oil and gas. And Putin and his fellows had to know these would be imposed and that they could manage them or it would have been foolish to start now.

This is all a game to them. We will get people off of fossil fuels by making them unaffordable and force people to switch to alternatives. Or take public transportation. Because otherwise, cheap fossil fuels was making "green" progress go too slow- it was burdened by what has been. They have no intention of giving up their XXL SUV. But it pisses them off to see the young adult male driving a lifted truck, so they will make fuel prices necessarily skyrocket so he can no longer afford to drive it.

There is a part of the Russian armed forces that is called "National Guard", that is actually part of a regime protection force (think Praetorian Guard) for the Putin Regime. They are not trained as combat troops, though. From just a FEW things I have seen (which is not conclusive), I have a hard time believing there are not conscripts in the invasion force structure, even if they are just truck drivers or whatever.

Another paper is out confirming that the synthetic RNA used in the mRNA jabs doesn't degrade as fast as natural RNA does.
The bombshell is the authors of the paper contacted Pfizer and Moderna (what say you?) and found they only tested spike protein production dynamics for 48 hours. And wouldn't discuss much more due to the "proprietary nature" of the products.

And "Rosgvardia" are definitely involved in Ukraine, some of the more bizarre incidents involve such units proceeding alone deep into the country and even trying to enter Kharkhov and Kiev, only to be ambushed and captured. It was assumed they'd be primarily for supply route security and law/order occupation duties.

I am told that the majority of Russian oil transfers out via the Black sea, so nothing is moving anyways, except via pipelines.
So, Oil goes to Europe, but not the rest of the world.
Better than sanctions in a way.

As I have said here before oil is fungible. If Russia sells to Europe they are selling to everyone on the planet. It is a global supply of a fungible product. There is no partial sanctions on such a product. It is Econ 101. Which is why nobody in the Biden admin gets it. Or anyone in the msm.

Article 1 of the Hague Regulations provides that the laws, rights and duties of war apply not only to armies, but also to militia and volunteer corps fulfilling four conditions:
1. to be commanded by a person responsible for his subordinates;
2. to have a fixed distinctive emblem recognizable at a distance;
3. to carry arms openly; and
4. to conduct their operations in accordance with the laws and customs of war.

Hopefully, it is now extremely obvious that Europe should restart dormant nuclear power stations and increase power output of existing ones.
This is *critical* to national and international security.
For those who (mistakenly) think this is a radiation risk, pick what you think is the worst location.

It further specifies that in countries where militia or volunteer corps (so-called "irregular" armed forces) constitute the army, or form part of it, they are included under the denomination "army".[6] This definition is also used in Article 4 of the Third Geneva Convention, with the addition of organized resistance movements.[7] The Hague Regulations and the Third Geneva Convention thus consider all members of armed forces to be combatants and require militia and volunteer corps, including organized resistance movements, to comply with four conditions in order for them to be considered combatants entitled to prisoner-of-war status.

takes maybe 5 gallons of fuel per acre to produce a crop ... the fertilizer is already here, I would guess. Prices for fall are already up enough to cover all inputs, as far as I can tell. Maybe next year (2023) there would be shortages, but I only see full planting this year. Or maybe I am missing something, but I already have my seed, would not even have to buy fertilizer to make good profit, but I might.
