The Quotes of The Day


Quote I

“Out of my peripheral I see a South Boston player coming over to the baseline, I assumed to take the ball out. In fact, he launched at an official and gave him a full nelson right to the side of the head. Which brought the ref down and he kept exercising a physical attack on this poor ref who was bent over and couldn’t defend himself,” Dan Leahy


Quote II

“Do we want this for our community on such a large scale? I’m not against marijuana but I’m concerned about the scale this particular project is on,” Billie Braun, owner of the local restaurant Billie’s Kitchen


Quote III

“With a topic like free speech, the current moment calls for a reference to Elon Musk and his heroic attempts to liberate Twitter from Big Tech censorship. Unfortunately, the only thing I know about Elon Musk is that he built Roger Kimball’s car." Heather MacDonald


Quote IV

“The longer the interval, the greater the opportunity for supply-chain costs to get out of step with a project’s original expectations for the price of electricity,” Josh Irwin, Vestas North America’s senior vice president of offshore sales

I guess positive "baby steps" are better than the status quo: Foxes guarding the hen house.

A new Florida law designed to restrict political lobbying by current and former public officials has led multiple officeholders to resign.

The law prevents public officials from lobbying for six years after their tenure and it bans elected officials from lobbying while in office. It is the longest lobbying ban in the country and is likely the reason why Florida has seen a wave of resignations by high-profile officials.

Run whores, run.

Is my tinfoil hat showing, will Dr. Malone have a bad ending?

Inventor of mRNA vaccine technology Dr. Robert Malone is calling for an international tribunal to “investigate and prosecute” all those responsible for the millions of deaths caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus—most notably former NIAID director Dr. Anthony Fauci, and Eco-Health Alliance president Peter Daszak.

“If the UN is a legitimate organization, it must investigate and prosecute those responsible for the millions of deaths caused by the lab-created SARS-CoV-2 virus” Malone tweeted on New Year’s Day. “That is, those people and organizations responsible for the creation of this virus. Prosecute Fauci/Daszak now,” the vaccinologist said.

The timing is fascinating. Virgin Islands Attorney General Loses Her Job Days After Suing JPMorgan Chase in Connection with the Jeffrey Epstein Probe

The Virgin Islands top prosecutor who reached a more than $105 million settlement with Jeffrey Epstein’s estate lost her job days after suing JPMorgan Chase in connection with her probe.

How thoughtful that he was on the terror watch list of the FBI. What do they watch, arrest reports?

NYPD officers were attacked by a man wielding a machete just outside the security area for the Times Square New Year's Eve celebration on Saturday, leading to him being charged with two counts of attempted murder and two counts of attempted assault.

The accused attacker, 19-year-old Trevor Bickford of Wells, Maine, has possible ties to Islamic extremism, according to multiple reports.

The New York City Police Department and the FBI are looking into the online history of Bickford, who attacked police with an 18-inch machete during the city's New Year's Eve celebration. According to sources, the attacker reportedly converted to Islam and became "radicalized" as recently as a month ago.

Had Bugs Bunny been queer, Porky the Pig, a pig who thought he was a cow and wanted hormones and surgery Looney Tunes would still be on.

For the first couple years of its existence, HBO Max was arguably the best streamer. They had DC stuff, yes, but that was just the start. They had a deep archive of movies, stretching to the infancy of cinema. They had Studio Ghibli. They had selections from TCM and the Criterion Collection. And they had possibly the most famous Warner Bros. product of them all: Looney Tunes. They still have most of this, but as 2022 came to a close, suddenly half of the latter went AWOL.

More government control on speech. Stupid and ugly US Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) says bring it on!

Democrat Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) is calling for the federal government to introduce new regulations to ensure that social media companies censor so-called “misinformation” and “disinformation.”

“Misinformation” and “disinformation” are terms used by Democrats and their allies in the corporate media to describe information that is critical of the Left’s agenda.

The vague terms are often misleadingly used in place of phrases such as “false information” while calling for censorship.

Do tax cuts work? Yes. Yes they do. Even in tourist destinations such as Dubai.

Dubai kicked off the new year by scrapping a 30% tax on alcohol sales and making liquor licenses free, in an apparent move to bolster its status as the Middle East’s leading business and tourism hub.


Faced with increasing competition from Persian Gulf neighbors such as Saudi Arabia and Qatar, the government has introduced a series of rules over the past few years to make itself more attractive for foreigners to live and work.

Tourism is a key plank of the emirate’s economy, but it’s been geared predominantly toward the luxury segment. The latest move will leave Dubai better-positioned to cater to wider swathes of the market.

The move is “extremely positive” for restaurants and hotels, said Tim Cordon, Radisson Hotel Group’s chief operating officer for the Middle East and Africa.

$15 Pints
Liquor is widely available in Dubai, but a pint of beer can cost more than $15 at restaurants and bottles of wine can start at more than $100. That’s prompted many residents to drive to other emirates like Umm Al Quwain, about 80 kilometers (50 miles) from Dubai, where prices are much cheaper.

People flee taxes? Wow, who knew?

Talk about being unlucky.

San Antonio woman hit by two different drunk drivers on same night, mourning husband believes
"She went off to the side of the road, dazed and confused," Bill Conaway said. "That's when the other car came."

I'm consistent. My loathing of government is universal.

Benedict Cumberbatch’s family have reportedly been placed on a list of wealthy descendants that could be faced with a reparations fight with the Barbados government.

After the country sought independence from British monarchical control in 2021, officials have supposedly begun a campaign to seek reparations from descendants of former slave-owning families and plantation holders.

The Oscar nominee and his family have been placed under the watch of the island’s government after the star’s ancestry came to light.

It has been reported that the 12 Years a Slave actor’s seventh great-grandfather owned the country’s northern Cleland plantation in 1728.

The sins of the father? 7 times 70 I guess.

Jab-Makers Accused Of FRAUD By 17,000 Doctors & Scientists

Let’s see what those ‘believe the science’ drones do when they see 17,000 scientists bucking the government narrative of blind Fauci-worship.

This story has two aspects. There’s the video explaining why the manufactures of the vaccines should be on the hook for fraud charges, and the official declaration signed by 17,000+ doctors and scientists.

First of all, I'm not a fan of Celine Dion. With that said, opinions are like assholes. Everybody has one including Rolling Stone Magazine.


Rolling Stone SNUBS Celine Dion as she is left off its updated list of 200 Greatest Singers Of All Time... so how did Ozzy Osbourne and Kurt Cobain make the cut?

Rolling Stone has updated its 100 Greatest Singers list from 2008 with its new 200 Greatest Singers Of All Time.

And while the roster of artists is extensive and varied, due in part to the change in criteria, there are a few questionable decisions that have outraged fans, but likely none more galvanizing than having Celine Dion left off the list, according to TMZ.

Known for her powerful and technically skilled vocals, the Canadian singer, 54, has also amassed more 200 million record sales worldwide, all while winning a slew of accolades and awards over her five decades in the limelight.


The problem with subjectivity..........

Companies can ‘hire’ a virtual person for about $14k a year in China

Tech company Baidu said the number of virtual people projects it’s worked on for clients has doubled since last year, with a wide price range of as little as $2,800 to a whopping $14,300 per year.
Beijing city announced in August a plan to build up the municipal virtual people industry into one valued at more than 50 billion yuan in 2025.
Many of China’s large tech companies have already been developing products in the virtual people industry.
Looking ahead to next year, 45% of advertisers said they might sponsor a virtual influencer’s performance or invite a virtual person to join a brand’s event, according to the Kantar report


But, can you understand them?

Donald Fagan might be going back to school sooner than he thought.

An earthquake struck Northern California on Sunday for the second time in less than two weeks, causing power outages and damages, officials said.

The New Year's Day earthquake had a preliminary magnitude of 5.4 and struck about 9 miles southeast of Rio Dell in Humboldt County just after 10:30 a.m. local time (1:35 p.m. ET) Sunday, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

The Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office said damages to homes were reported in the City of Rio Dell, while at half of the city's residents were without power Sunday and around 30% without water. It said restoration efforts were underway.

Think Twice Before Fortifying Your Mailbox Think twice before vandalizing someone's mail box. Genius Award Winners.

In Ohio, rural resident Matthew Burr, fed up with vandals playing mailbox baseball, dug an 8-inch diameter pipe into the ground and filled it with a mixture of cement and stone, according to the state government publication Court News Ohio. Tragically, a motorist hit a patch of black ice, plowed into the fortified structure, flipped his vehicle and was paralyzed. The man sued for damages, with the Ohio Supreme Court ultimately siding with Burr because the structure did not “affect the safety of ordinary travel on the road.”

84 What is it?
If a person is struck in the chest at a specific time in the heart rhythm cycle, the heart’s electrical signal can be interrupted, resulting in the heart stopping. This rare cause of the heart suddenly stopping is called “commotio cordis.” The blunt force that causes commotio cordis often comes from a hard object or ball hitting the chest, such as a baseball, a softball, or a hockey puck, but it can come from any type of blow. The average victim of commotio cordis is 14 years of age. Young people are at higher risk because the chest wall is less developed and transmits force more easily.

As we all know, by far the most important issue facing both the United States and the world is Defending Ukraine. Nothing else comes close.

Just ask the Senate Republican leadership.

Well, the new Israeli foreign minister said that while Israel would continue to provide nonmilitary aid to Ukraine, Israel would avoid criticizing Russia publicly.

“The idea that Israel should speak less about Russia’s criminal invasion of Ukraine is a bit unnerving,” Graham said in a tweet.

157 Reports are that after an hour the NFL tried to resume the game (told announcers to be ready in 5 minutes) and the coaches told them to fuck off and canceled it.

Would love to know if true. May not be. But it sounds right. Honestly I'm not sure it's possible to hate the NFL more. What a bunch of cocksuckers.

160 Pot pot is a massively addictive drug, criminals make billions off it every year for a reason. What was once forbidden is mostly legal now because half of society have up. I am not going to debate pot vs booze. At least the booze and cigarette people don’t lie.

I say to each his own. But modern America does not work that way. Legalizing pot in half the states has been a net negative. If a libertarian wants to smoke it and bother no one, I have no problem with that. The reality in too much of America is it does harm others. I think a kid who lives in an apartment with his parents should be able to take an elevator not reeking of pot.

That stank sends the kid the wrong message about adults.

she has been missing games due to sudden-onset apparently idiopathic a-fib. it will hit her when she isn't even doing anything much, and she collapsed on the field and took days to recover each time. she's now on heart medication like an 80 year old.

I have a degree of sympathy for Goodell and the other higher-ups in situations like these. Postponing a football game is always a big deal, especially right now on the eve of playoffs, so you don't want to do so unless it appears absolutely necessary.

However, it should have been obvious from a few minutes of video from the stadium that both teams were in no condition to resume play right away. Goodell fumbled it, as he does so many other things.

171 On a small ranch in Bandera, TX, I put a 150 gr. .30-'06 round directly through the heart of a whitetail buck, from a distance (not kidding) of two yards. ( I was on an improvised "blind" on a tree branch about 15 ft. off the ground. The buck was passing directly beneath, trotting after a doe in heat, when I took the shot.)

Said buck ran a full 50 yards before staggering, another 20 yards staggering and running on hooves and knees, and collapsed finally, expiring, brain-dead, at 80 yards. The shot blew the deer's heart into gelatin, it was dead before the bullet passed through the torso. But it still had the oxygen and brain energy to tell the muscles to Keep Running. Because that's what deer DO in reaction to threat or fear.

The Buffalo player walking a few staggering steps after the hit, would not be at all surprising.

For the two-week period from Oct. 3-16, the span for which the most recent data are available, 94.1% of all NFL players are vaccinated against COVID-19, according to an NFL press release. According to the NFL, there were 2,422 players in the league during that two-week period. Using the league's data, that means  2,279 are vaccinated and 143 were unvaccinated during that period.

For the two-week period from Oct. 3-16, the span for which the most recent data are available, 94.1% of all NFL players are vaccinated against COVID-19, according to an NFL press release. According to the NFL, there were 2,422 players in the league during that two-week period. Using the league's data, that means 2,279 are vaccinated and 143 were unvaccinated during that period.

A paramedic thinks...
DeezeKnutz @deeze_knutz · 33m Replying to @Outkick
Looks like something referred to as an “R on T” event. It’s extremely rare. It occurs when the heart fires, and shock or an outside force interrupts the repolarization of the heart, and causes a sudden cardiac arrest…extremely rare! Praying

Doctor claims it was Commotio cordis in brief video:
https://tinyurl.com/sf8t82v9
What is it?
If a person is struck in the chest at a specific time in the heart rhythm cycle, the heart’s electrical signal can be interrupted, resulting in the heart stopping. This rare cause of the heart suddenly stopping is called “commotio cordis.” The blunt force that causes commotio cordis often comes from a hard object or ball hitting the chest, such as a baseball, a softball, or a hockey puck, but it can come from any type of blow. The average victim of commotio cordis is 14 years of age. Young people are at higher risk because the chest wall is less developed and transmits force more easily.

I am wondering if the heart damage was caused by the clot shot. Isn't that what the clot shot is reportedly doing? Damaging or weakening the heart? So people may be "dying suddenly" from things that they normally would not be, were it not for the clot shot weakening their heart and/or immune system.

Definitely not more libertarian. Funny how that happened, and largely because of the Venn overlap between potheads and fascist puritanical control freaks being damn near a circle.

399 yes there are doctors out there affirming that this shit can happen, if the hit is at the precise wrong moment in the heartbeat.

But again, after the vax this has been happening a lot, with sports figures on the field. Obviously media and government will cover up all evidence the can, if the experimental clot shot is the real cause for the explosion of cases.

I know a few pot heads. Don't know a single one who condemns alkies. But I do most of them don't trust booze hounds who condemn weed smokers as a group. For obviously good reasons.

Anyone who thinks the "mainstreamization" of booze hasn't caused serious health and societal problems is delusional.

I mean more made up than all the other words.

Information is either good or bad. Like... being misinformed is a thing. One can be misinformed by having heard bad information. But "misinformation" - actually not a thing.

Now Merriam Webster Online has a long three part definition and "informs" me that the first use of the word was in 1605, with no further explanation.

OTOH its first defined appearance in their online dictionary was in 2019. "Mislead" goes all the way back to the beginning of the archive, however.

409 387 The tackle could have caused the heart to pause long enough causing him to pass out.
The damage could have been caused by unconsciously hitting the ground.
=======
That's a legit explanation for it, yeah. But the tackle
(made against WR Tee Higgins) wasn't that hard or made at a bad angle. To my mind if the hit had temporarily stopped his heart the dude would have stayed on the ground going "get the number of that truck". It's basically he gets up, nods at his tackle, and then falls over like he lost a shot drinking contest. That's something that's different from a bad hit.

413 I got certified in CPR a few years ago, but it's now expired I'm sure. They changed it from when I was in high school; you're no longer supposed to worry about the rescue breathing and instead concentrate on the chest compressions.
The EMT who taught my last class said something that stuck with me: If you're doing CPR, it's because the person has no pulse and isn't breathing, which means he's already dead (maybe not entirely, but close enough). You're probably going to break the sternum from the ribs, but you really can't make the patient worse off than he already is.

Anyway, that afternoon of his birthday, he announced to my mother that he was gonna drive to town, and let's you and me get something to eat. She told him, you can't drive, your license is expired.

I understand it as flying the sharpest chandelle you can make work, with a rapid re-acquisition of the reciprocal of your original bearing and altitude as you can achieve.

It's purpose was to quickly evade and/or re-acquire the enemy. The Half Loop thing might thrill at an airshow. The enemy pilot would be thrilled, too. Flying that maneuver would make you meat on the enemy platter, for sure.

True.

Better still. If those game designers would re-do the hardware to reflect the WWI aerodynamics, the torque of the Rotary radials, the huge energy losses in turns, the drag of the wires and struts, etc.

And the limitations of the forward firing guns, or the Lewis Gun mounted above the upper wing, or the Observer's gun(s) from the rear cockpit.

Those would be some fun games for sure!

Peak WWII fighter physics were in the early stages of infringing into the Boyd/OODA Loop levels of energy management, even before those fliers had commonly engaged in a grasp of Energy Management.

Which is why I stipulated that a WWI Warbird Sim would be a chandelle of a whole different color?

I'll rather just go fly the maneuvers in my Airknocker. The conversation from Jim and I was from last night, when I mentioned wingovers, and Jim said to expand those into Immelmann's.

I suspected he wasn't talking half loops.

I haven't been pilot-in-command of loops, but the few I've done as a passenger, with a buddy in his Waco F-2, weren't great fun. First half fine, back side, uncomfortable...

Not really. The Half Loop is powering up through ALL of the available climb energy, then engaging the Gravity Boost on the descent. Problem is, being nearly energy-zero at the top of the loop.

The Immelmann though, climbs less, powers with (such as WWI thrust was) through the no-more-than-70 degree bank turn, and uses the higher remaining energy to return to the original heading and altitude in a fraction of the time of the Loop. It's then a Pilot thing as to which has the advantage, from there.

523 Speaking of aerobatic flying, I was out for a couple of hours this afternoon, and upon return to the house, saw a guy flying an R/C model airplane in the large vacant lot across the street. Loops, hammerhead stalls, or just hanging it on the prop. And it must have been electrically powered, because it was quite silent. I watched for several minutes; it was a good show.

524 Pete Bog,

Nope. I've been a sailor too, I think you were kidding, but if not, holler again...

It's interesting that most descriptions of aerobatic maneuvers aren't usually specifoc enough from a pilot command/timing standpoint.

I finally found good descriptions in a US Navy NATOPS manual for T-34's and T-45's.

Pull to about 45 deg pitch up attitude, and start cranking in aileron till you get to a bitchin 90 deg bank angle. Then start bledding off the roll and pitch, recovering to same altitude and 180 deg heading.

The most intersting thing to me in the Aeronca, was with a fixed pitch prop, you gotta pull throrrle almost back to idle on the downside, to keep the rpm below redline.

526 Jimmy Doolittle.

I was taught the 70 degree bank, and hard on the rudder, and keep the energy ON through the turn.

Was taught that the 90 degree bank was a faster turn, but scrubbed off more energy in the turn.

Which is right? I do not know. I'm thinking whoever has the higher airspeed on return to same altitude and reciprocal heading?

This participation trophy culture is getting ridiculous. Won't bore you with details, but I was playing around with Intel's whiz bang compilers, C and Fortran, and had a problem with the installation. So I joined the Intel developer support forum and posted a question, and also a reply to something about which I had similar problems in the past.

Well, my email gets blasted with about a dozen emails telling me about the "badges" I just earned. I earned a badge for joining, earned a badge for starting a topic, another badge for replying to someone. And earned a badge for coming back after joining, etc, etc.

541 Jim,

I'll try 70 deg banks with more rudder.

I have a buddy who is a former USMC AV-8 jet jockey, and he asked me if my wingovers were coordinated. I said no way in hell could you do a 90 deg bank wingover in a low powered general aviation airplane with the ball centered. I tried some harder rudder near the top, but with 90 deg bank, no way was that ball anywhere near center. So, I got some fiddling to do still.

I have no idea what my G-tolerance is. Probably not all that great. I remember, as a teenage riding one of the upside down loop roller collercoasters. Somehow I was leaning over a bit when we went around the loop, and the g's there made just bend all the way over and I couldn't straighten back up until it was over.

My buddy riding next to me was all, "WTF, dude?"

Didn't puke though. I'm pretty good about that.

Hmm. They promise at least a 10% savings in ticket costs but a biofuel will cost at least 3x-20x what kerosene costs. And can they make enough to run a fleet of aircraft and have it available at all destinations and alternate airports? I don't know what this fuel actually is and if they end up using regular jet fuel who's to know?

548 AOP,

Electrics in airplanes...

There is currently one viable full scale electric airplane. A Pipistrel 2 seater, primary trainer, with a single small engine, and a long wing. It can fly about 1 hour, so 40 minutes realistically.

All these air taxi concepts will fail. 3 reasons:
1) performance/payload/endurance - they're all lying.
2) cost. These are all projected to be more expensive than comparable helicopters, which do work, by the way.
3) business model. How many inter-city helicopter shuttles do you see today? The ticket price will net zero customers, and the electric recharge cycle will destroy any daily ops.

True, True, square-cube law is gonna win again.

551 "Immelmann is about it for me, and I'll take spin training WHEN required, and not more."

A nice gentle loop or Immelmann doesn't pile up many G's, 2.5. Most beginners don't have a problem with that, as you mentioned above, a rapid 90 degree bank turn you'll pull that much. Spins don't really pull any G's, it's the rapid rotation people aren't used to. That's where a Pitts get real fun, after two turns it really starts winding up.

Translate all that to a Grumman Cheetah/Tiger airframe, with it's NO SPIN placard, and etc.

Every pilot should, I think, train in a slightly or more aerobatic airplane.

It can be of great help in recovering from WTF? weather induced WTFs! But mostly, in keeping straightish and levelish, in ordinary turbulence and other discomobulating atmospheres.

Most General Aviation planes just aren't made TO endure the WTF, Over! microburst and other SHTF conditions. So? DON'T FLY INTO THOSE CONDITIONS!

561 "I'll try 70 deg banks with more rudder.
I have a buddy who is a former USMC AV-8 jet jockey, and he asked me if my wingovers were coordinated. I said no way in hell could you do a 90 deg bank wingover in a low powered general aviation airplane with the ball centered. I tried some harder rudder near the top, but with 90 deg bank, no way was that ball anywhere near center. So, I got some fiddling to do still."
Posted by: Jimmy Doolittle at January 03, 2023 02:04 AM (U8Hxf)

Word of advise, don't be playing around with rudder through a turn or maneuver. For a steep bank, 60-90 degree turn, coordinate your rudder/aileron/power input fast until you hit your bank. Then it's all elevator until recovery. If the ball ain't on, level out, start over. Playing around with rudder in the turn can get you into a spin quick. Especially with low power Champ.

Anyway, one kid I remember well. We were all sitting in the pews (this was a church-based private school in Greenville, SC). He wasn't feeling so good. Sort of turning green.

He gets this look on his face, and then launches the most impressive projectile vomit stream I've ever seen. That stream jumped over on pew, no on right in front of him, and hit a girl in the back of the head in the next pew up. She freaked out.

It was glorious.

573 "Translate all that to a Grumman Cheetah/Tiger airframe, with it's NO SPIN placard, and etc."
Jim

Practice stalls, stalls and stalls. Out of every attitude. Power on, power off, approach, departures, out climbing turns in both directions. gliding turns out of both directions. Back when I learned we did what was called accelerated stalls, enter a climbing turn and rapidly pull it through until one wing stalled, basically entering a spin, then get the nose down and rudder in fast to stop it. The Grumman can teach you a lot about stalls and unusual attitude recovery, it's got a small stabilator so you really need to exaggerate your pitch input.

Posted by: lowandslow at January 03, 2023 02:39 AM (qH6FZ)

574 Jimmy Doolittle.

A Grumman Cheetah is a 150hp factory plane, 160 hp STC'd option.

It's Tiger twin (difference is ONLY hp, wing spar and cargo door!), is 180 hp.

Both have 170 mph Never Exceeds.

But the Tiger will cruise with all modern STC speed mods (including $5,000 LoPresti nose cowl) at about 160 mph. Four cylinder, 180 hp Lycoming, Sennisich prop.

It'll be passing retractable Pipers at that speed, and they HATE the ATC call of "overtaking traffic" when you go by them by 20 kts with fixed gear!

The Chief has even a worse reputation then a Champ for stall/spins. The first time I flew one, on the advise of many, I went up and practiced step turns at slow speeds then applied top rudder, it'll enter a snap roll in a hurry and if you're not prepared followed straight into a spin. That happens on a turn to final, you won't have the altitude to recover.

IFR is for the BIG singles, the 300 hp Bonanzas or larger Malibus, the Twins, and etc. With all the de-icing and other weather busting kit.

An IFR Beech Skipper is to teach the ideas, but not to fly the actual routes!

I'm VERY comfy to fly the instruments till visual is regained. Start me in an upside down attitude in an IFR simulator, and I'll be straight and level in a trice.

Go out, get some altitude and practice/experiment. Always do a few stalls first to re-orientate yourself on how it feels when the stall is immanent and your recovery. It's no fun to fly if you're scared of the airplane, and that's why we do it, to have fun.

Remember the scene where Mickey Rooney and Buddy Hackett are trying to fly Thurston Howell III's plane after they knocked him out? Remember when the plane flew right through the billboard?

That was done by a stunt pilot. They used two well experienced stunt pilots for those scenes, but there was a mishap with the billboard scene. The billboard material was supposed to be some very thin tissue paper type stuff, but there was a mix up, and the material was much thicker than it was supposed to be.

It did some serious damage to the airplane, but the pilot managed to get it back safely.

Turns out that both of those stunt pilots were dead within 10 years of filming. Both of them were killed in crashes doing stunts.

608 "Well as a lifelong guitar player I can't argue that. No clue why it works as it does, but it does something. Better connection, more focus, not really sure. Its not even something you can explain, or what the mindset it gives you."

I become "one" with it. I don't know how to explain it. My playing also becomes much more fluid and my timing is spot-on. It's like I'm so aware of how long I have until I have to make the next note/chord and can move so much quicker and fluidly that I can hold the note just a smidgeon longer or something. It's weird but it's there.

I can't be unproductive in life if I use pot; I get paranoid that I'll fuck myself up. LOL

Well you know, this place.. lol

I'm not even sure you fly on weed. I think it has different effects on different people. Like booze, some are happy drunks, and some want to start head butting a freight train. I have a friend like that. Instant asshole, just add alcohol. I stopped going to bars with him years ago. A few drinks and he's ready to burn the world.

yeah, its that focus thing. Being one with it is a good explanation, and its something you just can't explain. A little weed and on guitar I'm Thor the fucking thunder god, but booze? yeah no way. I couldn't get arrested as a guitar player if I drink. Probably why I'm not much of a drinker and never crave alcohol.

611 Yeah, alcohol seriously de-motivates me. A little more sociable, but otherwise, I just get sleepy. Also not a big fan of alcohol's metabolites, like acetylaldehyde (sp?). Carcinogen.

612 LOL, Bers.

Way back, when I w*rked in bars, I frequently wondered about the st!t-stirrers. Tequila seemed more likely than other drinks, to have been involved in the altercations we witnessed. I became wary of those who drank it.

After further observation, the greater denominator was "doing shots" or drinking quickly. Some people....

613 And here we are... weed vs. alcohol. weed vs. tobacco.

Utterly predictable.

I've enjoyed my share of them all. Not gonna make comparisons or say one is better than the other. They're simply different.

Posted by: JQ at January 03, 2023 03:53 AM (o0Fxd)

614 Ok... bad nerve...

I'm not really a pot-prude. Just didn't use for decades.

616 11 Benedict Cumberbatch’s family have reportedly been placed on a list of wealthy descendants that could be faced with a reparations fight with the Barbados government.
After the country sought independence from British monarchical control in 2021, officials have supposedly begun a campaign to seek reparations from descendants of former slave-owning families and plantation holders.

Ironic, much?
It's been 7 generations since a Cumberbatch owned a slave in Barbados. Institutions (like Harvard) can (arguably) morally be on the hook for past misdeeds. Making a private individual on the hook for an ancestor's misdeeds or debts has a name associated with it. Debt Slavery.

" pot smokers ...

I've known 3 who've used weed, "recreationally", for at least 35 years. I take "recreationally" to mean mild stuff (no polio weed), only on weekends, etc.

They're all reasonably successful college graduates, and in technical areas.

One commonality they all have (they do not know each other) I've noticed is that during technical discussions, very occasionally, they display a "Scratched Record" response. I'll say something reasonably technical, they'll respond, and then they will give the same response to my next statement. Judging by their facial expression (sort of an odd, concentrating look), they seem to be very briefly "stuck".

Then the situation passes, and they're back to normal. The repeatability of this event is measured in weeks, maybe months. I have never seen this in non-users. I've never used weed, so I cannot explain it. I plan on never using wed, unless I have to undergo chemotherapy.

620 The article on the Florida politicians resigning because of the lobbying law does not mention any political party. Therefore all the politicians who resigned must be Democrats. Therefore it must be a good Law.
