9 I didn't grow up in a family that made much of Sunday breakfast. Most sleep late, and I a boy of 12 or so went to church. (it was right next door) Mother made coffee, and that was about it. I got home, and had cereal in those little boxes that you could cut open and make a bowl out of it. Another idea in serving cereal that has passed us by. My mother got tired of me digging through the larger boxes looking for the toy.

I know it's not what you are referring to, but Trump sure keeps posting his "amazing lead" over potential '24 nominees. Look, I'll vote for the dude if he runs, but America is on fire and Trumps all like "look how well I poll!" It's an eye roller.

28 Spent a wonderfull evening over at the horse farm for the annual Barn Christmas Party.

First time it was held since Covid hit.

Prabibly 125 folks showed up, with an abundance of small children. White Elephant gift exchange was interesting, with the greatest stealing back and forth being the liquor, boxes of shotgun shells and gift cards to the various sporting good and farm stores.

And that was just amongst the women.
God folks, all of them.
Oh yes, lot's of sidebar discussions concerning the idiot in chief, and the rest of the current administration as well.

41 "Glad you had a good time amongst like minded people."

While I think it is not good to live in a bubble, surrounded only by folks who think exactly like you do, there is an argument to be made that occasionally simply enjoying the company of like minded folks has great benefit.

So yes...it was indeed a good time, which after three weeks in the great northeast, we both sorely needed.

MO, I'm having the same problem with my Outlook account, trying to retrieve my password. They want me to ID myself with e-mails I have sent from the account, which I haven't used in two months.

56 So in a series of events yesterday morning involving Dunkin original flavor K-cups and our Keurig machine, we discovered that there has been an ongoing quality control issue with the Dunkin line of pods, and the pod filters blowing through, causing water and grounds to get into places never intended to have coffee grounds in them.

Which then led to going to grind some beans and make the brew of life the old fashioned way.
Which led to me finding out that the weekly cleaning of the KitchenAid burr grinder has not been done in roughly four years.

Perhaps today will start better.

Which then led to going to grind some beans and make the brew of life the old fashioned way.
Which led to me finding out that the weekly cleaning of the KitchenAid burr grinder has not been done in roughly four years.

Perhaps today will start better.

Stellantis is blaming EVs for its upcoming Jeep layoffs. It's halting work at a facility in Illinois, potentially affecting over a thousand workers.

Yep. The auto industry is committing suicide with the move to "electrification". And we workers/employees will be the ones to suffer for it first. Next will be the rest of the nation as ICE vehicles will be either banned from sale by the government or auto companies already have a plan to stop producing them.

I just took my company "electrification" training on Friday and the corporate plan is 100% EV in Europe and 50% EV in North America by 2030. All these assholes have to do is continue making ICE vehicles everyone wants and continue being profitable. Instead, they're run by "climate change" cultists.

Posted by: fd at December 11, 2022 07:45 AM

Not a Fiat company anymore. (Oops, you said economy. Well, my comment is still relevant...) Merge with European "electrification" a little over a year ago and the company is now called Stellantis. Fiat, Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, etc are all within Stellantis now. Along with Peugeot and a bunch of other European brands.

Since Sergio Marchionne died, FCA/Jeep/Ram has been going downhill. Marchionne called out the idiocy of going to "electrification". Stated the fact that there is no profit in it, since there is no market for it. He blasted the movement and said he would not have FCA build any more EVs than was necessary to meet government minimum regulations. Once he died though, the rest of the management has been all-in on moving to EVs. Fucking depressing.

266 Air pressure is 14.7 pounds per square inch. That pressure is caused by the weight of the atmosphere above that square inch. There are 144 square inches in each square foot. That means the weight of the air on each square foot is 2116.8 lbs/sq foot. Call it a ton per square foot. How many sq feet on the surface of the earth? 4 * PI * r^2. r = 4000 miles * 5280 feet per mile so r = 21,120,000 feet. r^2 = 4.46*10^14 sq feet. Multiply by 4PI = 5.6*10^15 tons, that is how much the earth's atmosphere weighs. Or 700,000 tons for each of the 8 billion people on the planet. My 700,000 tons of air is different from anyone else's 700,000 tons. To be warming the atmosphere, EACH PERSON on the planet has to be heating something which weighs 10 times as much as the Battleship Yamato. Bull and shit.

To the extent their argument is at all valid, it's that CO2 is already a minuscule component of the atmosphere (0.1%, i think?), and even more minuscule changes to that (parts per million of that 0.1%) can have a significant effect on how the Earth absorbs or reflects the Sun's radiation. So an individual doesn't have to heat anything, it's the gigantic nuclear fireball that does the heating, and a minor change in the planet's albedo can create non- negligible changes in the planet's overall heat.

What makes it all bullshit, aside from all the raw data being utterly fake, is the assumption that the Earth is a static system and has no pathways for the biosphere to equilibrate itself in response to changes in atmospheric CO2 levels.
