Nigeria: Muslims attack Catholic church, burn a priest to death There is no identifying information as to the attackers in the report below, but my contacts in Nigeria inform me that in this case yet again they were Fulani herdsmen, that is, Islamic jihadis who are terrorizing the Christians of the land in efforts to establish an Islamic caliphate in West Africa. Aside from the snark, what a despicable and cowardly group of people to do this. Yes boys and girls, there is Karma. It just doesn't occur often enough. A man accidentally shot himself in the leg during an alleged attempted vehicle burglary in Okaloosa County.

Something extraordinarily strange happened at this year’s Miss Universe competition on Saturday.

Considering the cost of higher education, it's no surprise that many students hope to pursue a major that will snag them a well-paying gig once they graduate. In a recent survey of job seekers by the job-search platform ZipRecruiter, 44% of respondents with college degrees said they regretted choosing their major — with English, communications, sociology, and marketing management falling under the most regretted majors. Within each field, the survey found, the highest-paid respondents were more likely to be happy about their college-major choice. While many college advisors will tell you that no major is truly useless — even ZipRecruiter found that of those who regretted their choice of major, 72% said they would choose it again — job experts caution against certain majors that limit your career options and salary potential. Here are 12 majors that are unlikely to get you a good return on your investment. They say, "Dog is man's best friend." Several of these dogs never got the message.

Family story is that my maternal grandfather left my great uncle in the drunk tank over night when he was caught too drunk to go home, no idea if he was underaged or not, but I would not be surprised. Uncle was a hard drinker and grandpa was a tea totaler. It left some lingering bad feelings since Grandpa was the oldest and often had to stand in as the man of the family.
Other side of the family had an great-great uncle that used to have to be taken home in a wheel barrow when he fell off the wagon and my great grandfather would fire him until the guys at the shop told him they needed him back because the replacement blacksmith couldn't get the tools sharp enough and Grandfather's cousin that would wind up drunk in the city jail. To make it worse another cousin was chief of police. Small town America used to be the best. Posted by: Kindltot at January 15, 2023 10:16 PM (xhaym) 41

So ... you could put a gun to my head, and I couldn't identify this Handler chick out of a lineup or tell you what she is famous for. A TV show maybe?
Anyway, why would anyone admit something like that? I mean we've all got our blind spots, but .. LOL. She's never going to live this down, and the jokes just write themselves. Has she ever thought about the Moon landings? The astronauts that walked on the moon? Didn't this spark some questions? I recall casually mentioning to someone on a campout, you know around the fire, that from Earth we only see the same side, basically, the rotation is such that the "dark side" never appears as viewed from Earth. He didn't believe me. I couldn't believe that, because he was a really smart guy. He just didn't know that little bit of "trivia", I guess.

Remember kids, the Euros may talk a good game about how nice it is over there but the locals don't actually have much in the way of legally defensible rights. Highly relevant because when Klaus Schwab, who is German, eventually gets his much desired death camps to dispose of surplus proles it'll happen first in Europe. Yeah, sure, they might try that in the USA too but it'd be a dysfunctional bureaucratic dumpster fire like every other thing the government tries to do. But in Europe, it will occur mit zee German efficiency. And the serfs will obey their feudal lords or be purged, just like the last time.

I'm curious about the Nickleback hate too. I don't really love them or hate them, just always thought of them as part of the 2000s cultural scenery, then totally forgot about them until they showed up on radio stations again with some fairly good promo singles. At least with Metallica it's not hard to draw up a list of bad behavior. Maybe NB pulled some dick moves I'm not aware of?

Germans-
About 10 years ago, several German Universities and Research Institutes managed to hire some serious American guys to run programs and institutes. Guys with Ph.D.s from MIT or CalTech, distinguished researchers in their fields. Knew how to manage research teams and projects, and most importantly, how to partner and actually commercialize research results. Within months they were all informed that they were under criminal investigation and likely to face criminal charges. Posted by: Miklos, Part One at January 15, 2023 10:48 PM (YYpi2) 155

The crime? Under German Law from the Hitler Times, it is a criminal offense to "falsely represent professional qualifications". The Ph.D. associated honorific of "Dr." may only be used if the Ph.D. is from a German University.

There is a lengthy diary from the 1950s that is purportedly from a very high ranking not see, Heinrich Mueller, who supposedly died in Berlin in 1945. Instead, the story goes, he escaped and was brought to the US to work for the see eye yay.
I don't know if it's authentic, but it is an interesting read nonetheless, and whomever wrote it had some inside knowledge of how Washington worked and the political figures of the day. I tend to think it a forgery, but I can't discount that it seems almost plausible because of some of the loose ends.

I am not the least bit religious, but it seriously pisses me off the way Christianity is treated in the U.S. and the rest of the world. We must respect and understand Muslims. We must respect and understand Buddhists. We must respect and understand Hinduism. I think even Judaism gets more respect than Christianity. My theory is that most Americans were raised Christian and they hate it because it is against all the popular -isms. They are a bunch of kids still rebelling against Mommy and Daddy. Try to explain the rank hatred of homosexuality promulgated by Islam and the countless gays that have been executed for it is like talking to a brick wall.
So, of course, there isn't going to be nearly the amount of outrage caused by Muslims burning a Christian minister to death as there would be if a single page of the Koran was crinckled. The CCP's treatment of Tibetan Buddhists and Uigar Muslims is totally ignored. How many people even know about much less care about the way the Buddhists of Myanmar treat the Muslim Rohinga? In southern Thailand, the Buddhists and Muslims are battling an undeclared war. But it's the Christians who are evil and deserve everything they get.

The fricking "Nuremburg Code".
Don't bring shit up that doesn't apply. It is totally illegal under US law, black letter law, to force or coerce anyone to participate in medical trials or experimentation. Fully informed consent is required. The USG has been breaking that law since the 1940s at least. Military, federal prisoners, college students, and po' folk in the ghettos were "patients" of choice for all kinds of stuff. They've contaminated water supplies, and did some other biological agent testing. Also nuclear fallout testing. Remember the CIA agent who jumped (or was pushed) out of a window whilst on LSD? The reason they were messing with him, was because he was a whistleblower about another Acid Test on some island somewhere, some other country, a bunch of people were killed. All of the Universities were doing spook shit testing for hypnosis and mind control, manchurian candidate hidden personality stuff. My dad went to a small college in Iowa, and he mentioned one time he signed up for some psych deal, they played recordings of something while sleeping, seeing what people retained or learned while asleep.

This is really not that hard to grok, it's just the jargon is sort of arcane. The Earth completes one inertial rotation is (mean) 86164.0905s, or 23 hr, 56 m, an 4s. The mean solar day is, by definition 86400s. While the Erf is rotating, it's also moving around the Sun. It takes the Erf more than one rotation to catch back up with Sun. The apparent longitudnal speed of the Sun in the sky varies, due to both the eccentricity of the Erf's orbit, as well as the tilt of the axis relative to that orbital plane. Thus an average speed defines the solar day, known thus as "mean solar day". THis is the meaning of "mean" in something like Greenwich Mean Time.

Berserker, you and my wife should talk. R. hasn't yet found a hair place she likes in our new town. She is very annoyed.
Posted by: Tonypete at January 15, 2023 11:07 PM (qoGsy) I bet. My mom cut hair. She always did mine, and she was good, had her license, went to school for it when she was younger. The constant battle was making her not cut any more than to just trim the dead ends. It was nerve racking always having to watch, because she always wanted to cut more, because mom. After she died I started having it cut out in the world. That was worse, because all the chicks want to sculpt you into some fantasy figure they got in their fucking head. Oh you should do this, oh you should do that, let me cut this more here, etc etc. No..NO FUCK NO. I'm a metal guitar player, not a pop star, not the cover from the GQ magazine, I want it long, and I want it right, I want it fucking viking, can you do that or not. The girl I have been using does musician's hair, her specialty is long hair on dudes, and her color was spectacular, matches my real color perfect, and she uses 2 or 3 different ones for the roots, the little accents, etc etc. She was amazing. I'm pissed actually. Posted by: Berserker-Dragonheads Division at January 15, 2023 11:20 PM (VwHCD) 240

Posted by: Tonypete Think of it this way. Put the Earth at 6:00 relative to the sun. Where you're standing, it's high noon, with the sun directly overhead. Half a year later, if the Earth is in the same position, you're facing exactly away from the sun, and it's midnight, not noon. The earth would need an extra half-rotation for it to still be "noon" for you. Same thing for the next half-year, so the Earth has to rotate one more time than the number of days in a year, every year.

Alexander died 8 months after his best beloved bff Hephaestion. Hephaestion had been recovering from a fever, was starting to feel better, ate a big meal, died in pain. Some think perforated bowel following typhoid fever, some think poison.
Alexander was bereft (they had to reag him away from the body by force). Obviously his drinking got worse. But it's hard to say what killed him. He got skunk drink one night, then felt ill and died 12 days later. Several infectious and metabolic diseases coukd have done it, including pancreatitis. Poison is always possible (prime suspect would have been the Macedonian general Antipater) Posted by: vmom stabby stabby stabby stabby stabamillion at January 16, 2023 12:03 AM (BtmcP) 315

Note exactly the same but after watching Predestination I looked up whether that was possible. The wiki article mentioned that there have been fertile hermaphrodites (though the number is VERY small) but none have, as far as we know, impregnated themselves.

Sprawling on the back loveseat under the open window beyond which a steady rain is falling. It's night, cool and dark with a gentle breeze redolent of youth and nature. The sound outdoors (and out window) during the rain mixes with the other senses - the cool breeze, the dimly moonlit clouds, the eerie solitude, the introspective quietude, and the rhythm of the falling drops. Now there a muffled thunderclap, something off in the distance. Few states of being are so intrinsically rewarding. Lo, my cat beckons suddenly. How amazing is the feline's ability to induce the human utterance: "Did you really have to do that right then?"

Why did bankrobbers go after banks? So of course as password managers before more popular they will be more targeted by hackers. I honestly think internet security of ever more and more complex passwords is an exercise in stupidity.

Posted by: Miklos A Klein bottle is a 4D version of the 3D moebius strip. They both have only one surface; the top and bottom are the same on a moebius strip, and the inside and outside are the same on a klein bottle. Also, if you build a model of a klein bottle in 3D space, it is self-intersecting. The "neck" of the bottle goes through the side of the bottle.
