Demons Run When A Good ONT Goes To War

Welcome to the Thursday ONT! To open, let's take a frightening look at......the future! DUH DUH DUNNNNN!

The Softer Side Of Gordon Ramsay


Don't miss the asterisk ->*

Youth Today

This Kid Is Going Places

Oxford teen accused of being multi-millionaire cyber-criminal

A 16-year-old from Oxford has been accused of being one of the leaders of cyber-crime gang Lapsus$.

The teenager, who is alleged to have amassed a $14m (£10.6m) fortune from hacking, has been named by rival hackers and researchers.

City of London Police say they have arrested seven teenagers in relation to the gang but will not say if he is one.

The boy's father told the BBC his family was concerned and was trying to keep him away from his computers.

Hey, jail is a place. I'm just saying. Now this kid, on the other hand...

12-Year-Old Boy Has DJ Equipment Confiscated After Organising Rave In School Toilets

A schoolboy in Year 8 had his speakers and disco lights confiscated after he arranged and hosted a rave in his school toilets.

Cael Bell was on the decks in the boys' loos at dinnertime on Friday 11 December, when teachers busted the party.

The 12-year-old, who goes to St Antony's Catholic College in Urmston, Manchester, had promoted his event on Snapchat the week before, posting the time and date of his DJ set.
On the guest list were the 'whole of Year 8 boys'.

When the party was in full swing, Cael and his mates handed round Cadbury Twirls and bottles of Lucozade.


I guess the rest room is a place too. Nice to see today's youth with so much ambition.

Bottoms Up!


Man awarded $8M after being served chemicals instead of beer at Henderson bar

It's not as funny as the headline makes it sound like it could be.

The sample of beer contained potassium hydroxide and nonylphenol polyethylene glycol ether, which are chemicals used in cleaning systems for bar taps, tanks and lines.
“After drinking the sample, Dr. Enwright experienced a sudden and intense burning in his mouth, on his tongue, and down his esophagus into his stomach,” the news release stated. “He soon began convulsing, hyperventilating, and violently vomiting before Henderson Fire Department arrived to the scene.”
Enwright suffered permanent nerve and tissue damage to his mouth, tongue and gastrointestinal system, according to the news release from attorneys Rahul Ravipudi, Ian Samson and Adam Ellis. 

The chemicals were supposed to “liquefy and adhere to organic material”, and they did, just inside of Dr Enwright. I suppose what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, even if it's your stomach lining. Horrifying.


Broncos Are Going To Be HOT This Year

If you follow NFL free agency, you might have noticed that Denver signed superstar QB Russel Wilson to a huge contract, however that's not what we're talking about here.


Metal work may have sparked fire that damaged seats, suite at Mile High, source says

Yes, their stadium caught on fire today. Word is it hasn't been that badly damaged since The Sum Of All Fears. (I believe it was Mile High that Clancy nuked in that book, but it's been a while since I've read it)

My Johnson

I wanted to take a minute to talk about my Johnson. If you recall, I posted about my Johnson last year. I told y'all I was quite pleased with my Johnson, and even posted a jingle celebrating my Johnson. Since then I have played with my Johnson a bunch, and it's made me feel good each and every time. Now, however, I have a problem with my Johnson, it's not performing as well as it used to, and I would like some advice. Here is a picture of my Johnson:

IMG_4963.jpg

That's actually my spare Johnson, which I keep in the shop (behind the chop saw without its cover, dang it. Stupid me), but it's identical to the Johnson I use all the time. My question is, what is the circled part, and why is it engaged with the fly wheel preventing me from pull starting the motor? Sure, I can lift it up and everything rotates, and the engine starts, but it's got to have a purpose, so I want to fix it. Any help from more mechanically minded Morons?


Balls The Size Of Florida

The Cuban Air Force pilot that defected to the US with his MiG-23. He then borrowed a Cessna 310, flew back to Cuba and brought his family to America


You have to read the story to believe it. Orestes Lorenzo Perez defected to the US from Cuba by landing his MIG 23 in Florida. He then bides his time, learns to fly a Cessna, and a year or so later he flies back to Cuba, skimming the waves, and brings his family out. Incredible man, incredible accomplishment, both on him and on his wife for fooling the Cuban secret police for a year and a half until he could come get her.

Jeremy's Razors

Ace mentioned this the other day, but some of you may have missed it. Jeremy Boering is the CEO of The Daily Wire. Harry's Razors pulled their advertising from The Daily Wire when one of their pundits offered the outrageous opinion that there were only two sexes. So, apparently, Jeremy decided to launch his own razor company. I keep hearing that this is legit and not a parody, but I'm not sure, I guess we'll see when someone orders from their website. Their introductory commercial is pretty based:


So, tonight's question: What do you think of this kind of thing? On the one hand, I like it. I think people on the right are too often afraid to stand up to the social justice wanker types, much less do it with an in-your-face attitude. Generally speaking, most of us just want to be left alone. Leave-me-alone types aren't really the hotheads who will push back against the wild-eyed rabble that the left uses to engineer social upheaval. On the other hand, they are exactly the type who will win the war when they feel they have nothing to lose, but often that's a pyrrhic victory .

On the other hand, I'm wondering if, as a marketing strategy, these kind of things aren't a mile wide and an inch deep. I don't know if it's sustainable long term, or if it has the potential to grow outside of a niche market. I often remind myself that Twitter is not an accurate representation of the country as a whole. By the same token, those of us at places like Ace of Spades aren't either. There's a vast mushy middle that doesn't care much either way, and we need to remember that the left spent decades on their long march through the institutions so that when they did step up their extremist attacks on the status quo ante bellum, there was in infrastructure of cultural support in place to support their efforts. I think we on the right think that the “muddy middle” is “on our side”, and while that may be true speaking vaguely in general, as I said, most folks don't care that much, and are susceptible to being lured into complacency by the media, the establishment and the communists. To us it's obvious: How is Jan. 6 a “violent riot” and Kenosha a “peaceful protest”? It's absurd on the face of it, but so many people will never look beyond the face they are told to see. Opinions?

Tonight's ONT has been brought to you by free rectal photography:

15 What do I think? I've never had to deal with any of those people, so maybe I've just been lucky. I would ignore them as if they weren't there. That usually makes people madder, though. I would continue walking or shopping or whatever my business was. If anyone tried to get violent, well, hit me if you want, but I'll sue you for the criminal act and the civil act too. Hopefully never have to find out.

41 Hell's Kitchen is partly an act. Ramsay has to run his restaurants like a brute because it's perfectionist. Not just in quality, but on very limited time. Discipline and skill have to be relentlessly drilled into the chefs- and if they can't take it, better to know now than later. Plus the usual fakeries of reality TV production.

With children and people simply trying to enjoy the art of cooking, he can afford to be far more friendly and relaxed.

78 I am going insane. Yesterday, I had cataract surgery on my right eye. The doc popped a prescription lens in that takes me from "What top letter?" to "Yeah, I think that very teeny tiny last letter is a z". But she's not doing the left eye until next Wednesday. So my eyes are incredibly lopsided. And to add to the joy, she gave me distance and mid range, but she took away my close up. And the vision in my right eye hasn't cleared up yet. I know I will be very happy in a couple of weeks, but in the meantime I am wandering around in a fun house mirror world.

Posted by: Chatterbox Mouse at March 24, 2022 10:06 PM (q9i1u)

He actually seems like a nice guy. It's just he's passionate about food and wants it to be done properly.

93 Report on the Halo series now showing on Paramount Plus and Amazon Prime:

Not bad, though I can't say much about whether it follows the Halo video games closely, because I've never played them. All I know about Halo and Master Chief comes from watching the internet series Red vs. Blue, which uses the Halo Spartans as characters.

Master Chief is played by Pablo Schreiber, half brother of Liev Schreiber. FX are great, the story seems pretty compelling and there are definitely a lot of interesting plot lines that are developed just in this first episode.

YMMV, but I found myself thoroughly enjoying it. Have been looking for a new space series since The Expanse ended.

165 A while back my wife and I bought a cute house in a nice neighborhood at a very good price, we wondered why no one else got it first. But we hadn't done enough research to learn that the older neighbor, who we just thought was reclusive, was bat-shit crazy. We found out about a month after we moved in when I looked out and saw a policeman sheltering behind a tree in my front yard. I opened the door and he said "Get back in! shots fired next door!!!"

Well it turned out that the neighbor was home alone, inside, and his story was that he couldn't stand seeing the little green men looking at him through the windows anymore so he had to shoot them. (shot several of his own windows out) I don't doubt that he saw them; at least they took his gun away from him after that.

186 Amazing what you can find reading forbidden press:

"Ukraines Propaganda War: International PR Firms, DC Lobbyists and CIA Cutouts...network of foreign strategists, Washington DC lobbyists, and intelligence-linked media outlets behind Ukraine's public relations blitz."

"Behind Ukraine's public relations effort is an army of foreign political strategists, Washington DC lobbyists, and a network of intelligence-linked media outlets.

"Ukraine's propaganda strategy earned it praise from a NATO commander who told the Washington Post, "They are really excellent in stratcom - media, info ops, and also psy-ops." The Post ultimately conceded that Western officials say that while they cannot independently verify much of the information that Kyiv puts out about the evolving battlefield situation, including casualty figures for both sides, it nonetheless represents highly effective stratcom."

I haven't been paying that much attention to the "war" since I don't trust anything that comes out of Russia, Ukraine, NATO, the EU, or any American Press outlet.

But I think if things were going as well as people think on Ukraine's behalf, there would be more cell phone video uploaded to the internet. I've seen a grand total of about 4 short videos of guys shooting Javelins at parked tanks of unknown provenance (who can tell if they're Russian or Uke?), and one video of a fighter shooting rockets over a village.

If the Russians really had lost 10K - 15K troops dead, there should be a lot more video proof of that. Perhaps I need to go to the British papers, though they suck as much as American ones.

It doesn't. These assholes admitted they didn't even play the game at all. Master Chief is supposed to always be in control and apparently the actor thinks he's Christian Bale in Batman.

Posted by: Sharkman at March 24, 2022 10:57 PM (ULISU)

about 3 or 4 days ago there was a document posted on a pro-Russian government website, one affiliated with Putin's government. It was a casualty report with the letterhead of the Russian Defense Ministry, and it reported that Russian forces had so suffered just over 10,000 dead and about 16,000 wounded. It quickly disappeared, but many people made screenshots - and not long after, the website was shut down with no explanation, and has not come back up. It sure looked, to everyone, like an internal document that was never supposed to be made public.

as to videos - this is real war, not playacting. anybody in those firefights who stops to take cell phone videos is gonna be dead pretty fast.

I didn't love the idea of getting the whole kit and kaboodle, but if everyone sits on the sideline like I normally do it'll fail. It is supposed to ship in June. I've got razors to last me til then. If it all goes belly-up then shame on me for my foolishness.

I heard about that doc posting but didn't see it.

I understand your point about cell phone video. Perhaps I misstated my point by talking just about cell phones. There is a metric fuckton of video footage from our adventures in Afghanistan and Iraq, from all sides of the conflict, some from cell phones, some from "reporters", some from official military branches. Covering all phases of the last 20 years.

I would expect that the Ukes are taking just as many casualties as the Russians have - this looks like a war that no one is winning, but everyone is losing. It's already degenerated into a WW1 style slugfest; which side can hold out the longest without collapsing?

Many have said that the Russians are used to taking heavy casualties, and they are; but the big question is: Is this a replay of the Russian Army of 1944, or of 1916?

411 RE: The Cuban pilot who defected & brought his fighter jet with him:

Very similar thing happened in 1974. Soviet pilot defected & landed the newest Soviet fighter jet in Japan. His plane had gone into active service for the first time less than a year earlier. The USAF & the CIA were rather eager to have a look at it & take it for a spin!

Since the pilot (Viktor Belenko, I THINK was his name) brought that airplane with him, there was no question about his bona fides as a genuine defector.

Here's my favorite part & the punchline: After his initial debriefing at Langley, the CIA took him to a Walmart in VA, gave him $250 (that was a lot more money back then), & told him to buy some underwear & jeans & sneakers-- just enuf stuff to get him through his first week in the U.S.

In his autobiography, Belenko wrote, "I assumed the store they took me to was reserved for high-ranking American officials."

"We now assess that the initial Russian campaign to seize Ukraine's capital and major cities and force regime change has failed;
Russian forces continue efforts to restore momentum to this culminated campaign, but those efforts will likely also fail;
Russian troops will continue trying to advance to within effective artillery range of the center of Kyiv, but prospects for their success are unclear;
The war will likely descend into a phase of bloody stalemate that could last for weeks or months"

440 I think there is too much cynicism here about the war reporting.

Personally, I don't think all the reporting about the Russkies being bogged down is bullzhit at all.

There are journos from many countries, all across the political spectrum, pretty much drawing the same conclusion.

Extreme cynicism is a just a form of naivete.

446 Russian MoD this morning (theirs) claimed they'd taken Izumi, a town in the east that could be important for cutting off Uke forces in the southeast, and had taken the administrative HQ of Mauriopol - though that of course doesn't tell us much, necessarily.

ISW is staffed by youngsters, though they do have some more experienced adults. Their source info like that for most is very limited and of questionable reliability (not necessarily incorrect, but there's simply no credible sources that stand alone without multiple and objective confirmation on most of this thing).

They and a few other more impressive observers are talking about a stalemate, but I don't think that's the right concept. Ukraine cannot function or long tolerate having most of the eastern third of the country and much of the south coast occupied or cut off. Barring some unlikely enormous shift in Russian behavior, they can maintain this situation pretty easily. That's not a stalemate.

Like Theranos, all the top men are there to give it gravitas, and they exist to generate information and opinion on demand that can be sent to news outlets, both here and abroad, so they can be sent to other news outlets, freshly laundered as to origin.

The propaganda in this war has been very basic, like the first part of WWI. The only reason it hasn't been rejected is there is no other acceptable source

Hell - that hasn't existed since 9/11 either. A whole bunch of the argument around here has been comparing Norman Rockwell and Peggy Noonan against reality.

Where can you or I run to with more economic freedom ? Several South American countries. And you won't be fleeing Communism. You'll be fleeing Socialism. Possibly Fascism. It's just dirt, man.

After she was retired, the Savannah was moored for a while dockside at, Savannah, of course. Myself and a buddy were on our way back north to Atlanta after a weekend camping trip at Jekyll. In a moment of youthful misjudgment, we decided to go take a look.

The problem was that the entire area was closed off, secured by fencing. Ah, but wait, there's a rail bridge with nothing blocking it. So, the bridge deck being suitable for motorcycles, we simply motored across, and onto the pier.

Result? A lot blue flashing lights, and serious looking guys with guns. Fortunately, we had no trouble convincing them that we were merely harmless, stupid youth, and were escorted back out.

514 I'm remembering the guy who moved to Mexico and posted a lot of video's; he was irate at US drug laws, and constantly posted about how much better Mexico was, as he could buy and sell anything he wanted. Then one day he opened his door and two well dressed gentlemen emptied their weapons into him. Somehow, he had annoyed the cartels.

The local police didn't even fake doing an investigation, they said why bother? Everyone knew who did it.

So, we had an all hands meeting, concerning our billing practice. Yes, the Corps of Engineers is a business, we get paid by the job. So, Dude who is completely overhead, never direct billed, tells those of us who do direct bill that we need to get our rate above 85% direct. From, the dude who gets paid out of our labor and billing, but not his own.

Never mentioned how maybe he could quit requiring a bunch of bullshit training that we have to take, can't direct charge. Never mentioned how maybe he could cut back on his staff and start, actually, direct billing some things. No, it was all on us.

There is a decided difference between Republican and republican and I am not staying awake to write a dissertation on it.

The never-ending cultural battle is between meritocrats and aristocrats. My family seems to be meritocrats, and we wind up fighting invariably aristocrats. You can wrap the two sides in flowery horseshit language deep enough to reach the moon but at the end of the day the fight is between "no one man should have such power" and "oh leader x is so dreamy and only THEY can make things fair!"

I will always choose the former, and hate the latter.

It was a casualty report with the letterhead of the Russian Defense Ministry, and it reported that Russian forces had so suffered just over 10,000 dead and about 16,000 wounded. It quickly disappeared, but many people made screenshots - and not long after, the website was shut down with no explanation, and has not come back up. It sure looked, to everyone, like an internal document that was never supposed to be made public.

574 I'm guessing (guessing) that mnw's tentative conclusion was that Russia was desperate or at least concerned about its manpower resources. I have no idea. But breaking it down is fun.

Belarus - it'sbeen far more than asking for volunteers. On a state level, Belarus has/continues to host Russian forces and support, and aviation. There was speculation that Moscow sought a Belarus ground incursion in the west of Ukraine, which would be useful for them. And it's very likely there are Belarussians with military experience quite willing to get involved.

Chechens - nothing surprising here. Chechens - those lined up on Moscow's side - are quite willing to join in a good fight (or any fight, actually). An entire Chechen unit has been involved, led by a strange character named Kadyrov. Reports on their performance have varied. Anything less than fierce battlefield success would be culturally unacceptable, however.

Syrians - that's the weird one. It might support speculation about Moscow facing personnel problems, but could easily be explained by other factors.

576 10K KIA is very hard to believe, and would imply a lot more than 16K wounded. Such enormous losses could only be inflicted by artillery, which appears to be playing a small role, esp. on the Uke side.

But there's an entertaining Russian morning show that's good for practice, so I'll leave the speculation to others now.

Well, there has been quite a bit of chatter from the Ukrainians (including ZMan) about killing them (Russian troops) all, no mercy, etc.

Perhaps they are not playing by the Geneva Convention/Marquess of Queensberry Rules. That would explain the high death to wounded ratio perhaps.

ALL of the "flavored bourbons" are intended for the distaff side of the market, to whom "bourbon" is sensed as being too hot, too harsh, too MANLY. No, those lasses need a Candy flavored bourbon, which bears faint resemblance to Bourbon. Next, they'll be wanting mentholated cigarellos, with filter tips. Slim ones. Made in Virginia.

Interesting analysis, but pooh-poohing the Russians getting ahold of the biochem labs could be short-sighted. The Ukrainians probably haven't changed the access codes since the Russians built them. *eyeroll* And the Russians have proven that they don't give a damn about what happens to people outside of the Moscow area. Quite frankly, I'm astounded that the mountains in Kazakhstan are still standing with all the nukes they tested there.

Southern Comfort. Ain't touched it since.

Went about seven years as a teetotaler, but not of the AA, nor the theological variety.

613 In my case, the lake I live on has a "max hp" allowance of 9.9. The 9.9 Johnsons were designed for places with restrictions like that, they are really 15 hp motors with a smaller carb. It's something of a cottage industry to sell the 15 hp carbs to bring the motors up to power while still having a 9.9 cover. I looked into it, but decided 3 things. #1 Why? Am I going to be trying tonwater ski? Not likely. #2 Why? The lake is small enough (110 acres), unless someone is drowning, I can be across it in plenty of time, just a few minutes. And #3 Why.? The conversion kits, while popular, are somewhat hard to find, and as a result the ones that you can find are way overpriced. In light of why #s 1 and 2, I can see no reason to waste money on #3.

My *impression* from reading, experiences and conversations over the years is that Moscow cares about Moscow. (At least here the Congresscritters have to go "home" once in awhile.) The former Soviet Republics that were overseen by Moscow had no say in whether NBC weapons were tested there and the lives lost. (Tsar Bomba broke windows in Moscow. Do you think no one died from it?) Then you get into all the ethnic tensions and how someone in Moscow feels no connection to someone in, say Chechnya other than a technical label and you can see a dehumanization of Russia's own populace.

Heading your way next weekend for my grandma's funeral. She's at peace with the Good Shepherd... and Grandpa's ridiculous jokes.

656 I was overhearing my boss and coworker approve some video made by actor Ron Perlman yesterday. It was some rambling, nasty missive about Sen Cruz. Deep thinkers, they are.

657 On your Johnson outboard, that part you circled is the starter interlock. It prevents the motor from being started if the shift is in forward or reverse. There is a link from the shift shaft that drops it onto the recoil spool if the gear lever is off the neutral detent. Go to Marine Engine dot com and select Johnson, enter 10R74G as model number and select intake manifold view to see the mechanism.
Your motor was introduced in 1974 with breaker point ignition, which was changed to CDI electronics in 1977. that stop was changed shortly after that; I have a 1982 apart in the shop that uses a different stop system...

I have heard from reliable sources that Perlman takes it up the ass. With relish, and a few cucumbers.

But darn if I can remember which sources.

He's a public figure, right?

666 I recall a scene from a novel, perhaps a Dan Simmons book (though I wouldn't swear to that) where some big name Hollywood producer/director/etc received an Oscar for something he turned out.

This soul wasn't nearly so proud of this 'accomplishment' as he was in taking that statuette, coating it in lube, and shoving up his own ass.

Hey, embrace diversity. To each his own, or whatnot.

Also politicians and others seeking power and money were trading their kids and family's kids for influence with the Bidens.

677 If the Russians really had lost 10K - 15K troops dead, there should be a lot more video proof of that. Perhaps I need to go to the British papers, though they suck as much as American ones.

Speaking of, how we
build our Rightousness:
I mold myself, against nearly
every popular fad. It is hard to
be different. Maybe I am,
in-sync with 1956?
My mom wanted a
1700's Lifestyle.
I think, Amish have a greater
overall plan. Thanks to
everyone here, give my mind
something to chew on.

687 Yep, Christine Ha won the season in 2012. Ramsey said her pie was delicious and amazing. That was the first pie she had ever baked. If you look around, she gives the recipe.

That said, it was not a traditionally beautiful American pie; it just had all the necessary components of pie visual appeal and great taste. But given all the weird modern cuisine stuff, and given the different way that UK people expect pies to look, it was well within lovely pie tolerances... And dang, it did look delicious.

688 I watched a couple interviews and the razor ad is on the level.
Over time with public being brow beat it's easy to lose the idea that humor can sell (cause all humor is raciest?). The ad does not flow to 'hate your self' for being human narratives, the left media seems to have put people on guard for lies when humor is involved.
I'm very impressed by what a handful of individuals are doing with daily wire to bring positive future attitudes, fake NO but a proper response we see very little to day.

Besides FLAMETHROWER in video, works better than those in most 3D Realms Games
