Daily Tech News 22 March 2026
Top Story
- An Ohio datacenter planned by Japanese company SoftBank will cost $40 billion to build - and require a new 9.2GW gas turbine generator complex that will cost another $33 billion. (Tom's Hardware)
Or, as the article notes, 9 nuclear reactors, though that option is off the table due to the excruciatingly long lead times thanks to a thousand layers of bureaucratic nonsense.
Which is ironic considering that the site chosen for the datacenter near Piketon was used to produce nuclear fuel from 1956 until 2001.
Tech News
- Jeff Bezos is in talks to raise $100 billion to buy existing manufacturing companies and automate them using AI. (MSN)
That's probably better than letting the companies slowly go broke. Maybe. I guess.
- AMD has released its updated FSR 4.1 AI-based upscaling technology - the company's equivalent to Nvidia's DLSS. (Tom's Hardware)
Reports are that it's genuinely good.
But AMD is still keeping a pillow firmly over the face of FSR 4 for older RDNA2 and RDNA3 graphics cards, even though following an accidental leak of the source code it is known to work perfectly well. Not as efficiently as on RDNA4, but still fine.
And it's not as if you can just buy a top-of-the-line Radeon 9070 XT below MSRP right now. I mean, you can, and I did, but I'm an idiot when it comes to money.
- Crimson Desert is here and AMD used it to demonstrate FSR 4.1. Should you buy it? Nnngh. (PC Gamer)
Reviews are mixed, with some calling it the greatest thing since cut cheese and others calling it a buggy mess, and Intel graphics card owners crying in their soup - because the game simply won't start.
One of the strongest criticisms apart from that comes from leaked internal conversations that allege the company didn't decide on the plot of the game until shortly before release. Which rings true because the developer, Pearl Abyss, is best known for it's MMO title Black Desert. In fact, I'm not sure they've released anything else.
- It does run at 50 fps on a MacBook Neo, though. (Notebook Check)
Albeit at 180p, upscaled to 540p - in testing the reviewer had to cut the desktop resolution to salvage something - and with frame generation to create fake frames with AI.
The game fully supports Mac systems, but recommends at least an M3 CPU. And even the just-released and seriously M5 Max is hardly a gaming powerhouse, requiring both upscaling and frame generation to perform acceptably.
- You know sometimes you see something for sale that is obviously, painfully useless and simultaneously has an eye-watering price tag, and you wonder who could possibly be the target market? (The Verge)
- Trivy supply chain attack triggers self-spreading CanisterWorm across 47 NPM packages. (The Hacker News)
What?
- Widely-used Trivy scanner compromised in ongoing supply-chain attack. (Ars Technica)
Slightly better.
- Trivy vulnerability scanner backdoored with credential stealer in supply-chain attack. (CSO Online)
The best headline I've seen so far, because it explains what Trivy (it scans for vulnerabilities in your software) and what the attack does (it steals your login sessions).
That's horrifying. The very people most interested in making sure systems were secure were the target here. If they built Trivy into their code testing process, it would have automatically pulled in the compromised version and stolen their GitHub credentials (this targeted GitHub) and used that to spread the chaos further.
That's what led to the CanisterWorm attack on those NPM packages - and that is probably a very incomplete list.
More at Socket and Wiz.
The maintainers of Trivy posted a thread on GitHub to communicate the details to their users - which the attackers promptly deleted since they had effective control over the Trivy GitHub account at that point.
- Fuck systemd. (It's FOSS)
Music is the Zoltraak theme from the anime Frieren: Beyond Journey's End. Anime by some strange coincidence is Frieren: Beyond Journey's End.
Contains spoilers. Contains very spoilers for four of the most dramatic fight scenes in the first season. Since the first season only really contains four dramatic fight scenes - this is a character-driven series, not monster of the week - you might want to avoid this one if you want to watch the show.
Disclaimer: And I do recommend this series, even to those who do not usually watch anime. I did find the episodes near the end of the first season a bit of a slog - into each great anime a tournament arc must fall - but it resolves itself with the same wit and grace that makes the rest of the story shine.

That's probably better than letting the companies slowly go broke. Maybe. I guess.
I am reminded of an old Twilight Zone episode where a company manager replace every person with a robot. He was quite pleased with himself. The people he layed off warned him of consequences but he carried on. Then he was replaced by a robot. Everytime I read something about AI replacing human jobs, I think of that episode.

Pixy Misa Johnson is right!
It's like LotR.
But after the whole ring-in-the-volcano thing.
Starring an introverted immortal elf wizard magic geek.
The main trio (thus far) are all autistic. Frieren because she just is that way, Fern because she trained under Frieren since she was a small child, and Stark because he's a teenage boy.
At least Stark will grow out of it.
And the story is in large part of understanding feelings - both your own and those of others.
The English title, Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, fits the story.
A literal translation of the Japanese title Sousou no Frieren would be "Frieren Attends A Funeral."
Posted by: mikeski
It can be read two ways in Japanse: Frieren at the Funeral - since she has outlived half the members of the group that defeated the Demon King, and Frieren of the Funeral, because she can be seriously scary when the need arises.

[Top photo: Vintage Tavern - Suffolk, VA]
Benjamin Franklin once wrote that the existence of wine is “constant proof that God loves us, and that he loves to see us happy.” As the U.S. nears her 250th birthday, what better way to celebrate than by visiting our historic sites … and grabbing a drink at their accompanying local taverns, saloons, and inns? The Heritage Foundation recently released the Heritage Guide to Historic Sites, which pinpoints and evaluates museums, battlefields, presidential homes, and the like, scattered across the country. Now, you can journey through the U.S.’ past with this accompanying historic bar crawl guide.Have you been to any of these watering holes? Any noteworthy ones that you know of that didn't make it to the list?

He said to her: "If I were to die suddenly, I want you to immediately sell all my stuff."
"Now why would you want me to do something like that?" she asked.
He answered: "I figure that you'd eventually remarry, and I don't want some asshole using my stuff."

S2 Underground continues to skew farther and farther anti-Iran operation. Using the weirdly available "crosshairs" on the jet (I guess an F-35, hard to tell) released by Iran to tell us that airspace is super contested and Iran has systems that can shoot down our stealth 5th aircraft. Strangely S2 didn't even question the validity of the "video" in question. Again, the one released by the Iranian govt. Just put it up there as if it was 100% real and accurate. It's beenn trending this way for a while...and of course he Epsteined during the last 60 seconds of the video.
Shawn Ryan is now choosing he Joe Kent path, or at least trying to hook in that demographic and Valhalla Marine Force Recon (same one who was sure Erica Kirk has a COCK) now says its out of control and the USA as been defeated.

Well, I've been to the Alamo but not the Menger Hotel, and to the Buffalo Bill Center (if you haven't been to the firearms museum, you should go), but not the Irma Hotel.
The most historic* drinking establishment I've visited is the Turf Tavern in Oxford, England, one of the Inklings' watering holes, also the location where Bill Clinton allegedly "did not inhale."
*Tiger Town Tavern in Clemson probably doesn't qualify, although the Esso Club might; sadly, I have not actually been to the Esso Club.

Also another great book called “Ignition!” about the development of hypergolic rocket fuels. Never realized they had so many, or tried so many anyway, to varying degrees of success. The Air Force wanted the longhairs to develop an additive that would work with gasoline or kerosine.
Apart from that, the author J.D. Clark, could have been a standup comedian. I didn’t understand hardly any of the chemistry involved, but the anecdotes are great.

I'm slowly wading into the stupidity. Here's some things I've seen and noticed.
1. There are a lot more whites than I expected on both CNN and MS Now.
2. Both had a lot of Mueller coverage. Some guy on MS Now commented that whatever our political views, he was a national hero.
3. The Save America Act is referred to as the voter suppression bill on MS Now.
4. Velshi really feels bad for all the poor illegals
5. And in a culture war segment, MS Now was fascinated at how much focus MAGA has been putting on that tiny sliver tranny population. Maybe if they left the kids alone.
6. Both stations are really focusing on gas prices ignoring Biden's time in office. Oh, and TSA.

And his corruption goes much further back. Those of us who lived in Boston during the Whitey Bulger years saw it close up.

He then turns against the boy and intends to disown him . . . until the climactic sinking, where he displays heroism helping women and children into boats. He discovers with pride that the boy has stayed aboard to find him. A steward comes up: "Mr. Sturges, there was a boy looking for you."

They even tracked down and got one of the original test pilots during the 1940s, who tested the flying wing back then a top secret clearance so he could fly the simulator and see what he thought of the design. The problem they were concerned with was landing something that doesn’t really want to land, ground effect or whatever it’s called. The old guy said they should be good to go. I love stories like that. I bet he got a real kick out of it, too.

There are times he should just say nothing about those who are worth nothing. However, after what he was put through I excuse him for being honest. I'd rather have him any minute of the day than Biden and Corn Pop and Cackling Kam. Love that he laughed that the cardboard mullah was ghey.

Far too many are ignoring what is happening before a grand jury in the Southern District of Florida. Some have forgotten what it means to be the predator instead of the prey.
For almost 10 years I've heard that Trump doesn't know what he's saying or doing and yet he got elected to be President of the United States. Three times, twice beyond the level of cheat.
Trump fights to win and defends his peeps. By far the best president in my lifetime. Rock on Golden Scalp Weasel.

I plan to knock on the door of the house this September and ask if my bf/husband and I can have a photo on the front porch of our first date (it will be 50yrs). That was historic as well. Plus the hospital elevator where we first met a month prior. Romantic, eh? Don't answer.

I had hoped to bring him to justice for his world-historical crimes against myself and the American people. Sadly, the icy grasp of the Reaper seized his withered husk before I could do it, and dragged him into Hell where he now resides with his old boss and friend Whitey Bulger."

The difference is, in the natural order of things, Republicans are generally supposed to play the role of designated piñata. Failure theater candidates, lose gracefully, go on the left wing “news” programs and accept false premises in virtually every debate issue, and prostrate themselves before the host and apologize for something we didn’t do.
I used to think they were stupid, then I realized they were complicit. They were in on it.
That’s why Mr. Trump was so despised. Recall he was a Member In Good Standing on the left right up until he decided to run for President. Like a lightswitch being flipped, overnight he was The Worst Ever You Guys!!

Try a "flaming Dr. Pepper":
You get a mug, half-full of beer. And you get a shot glass, with 'root beer schnapps' & a float of 151 proof rum.

Back in the previous millennium when MiladyJo and I resided in Chicago, we frequented the Green Mill, which was within walking distance (we were younger) of our apartment. Her brother often bartended there, and we enjoyed some good jazz. Nice place. https://w.wiki/KAP4
The Green Mill's claim to fame, if you don't know, was its one-time owner Al Capone. That was a bit before our time.

My Ranger sucks the juice down, it passes the parasitic draw test, dropping down to about 50mA after a few minutes after shutdown. Can’t figure it out. I think, maybe the Sirius system tries to contact the mother ship or something like that, maybe in the middle of the night. I need to find that thing or the fuse, and disconnect it.
If it’s going to sit I disconnect the negative terminal. A battery charger will pay for itself many times over. I’ve tried quite a few different kinds of chargers, both talented & gifted, and the “special needs” chargers like Schumacher made for 50 years or so, the 2/6 Amp versions.
These are REALLY good, once you understand battery charge voltage is temperature dependent. It’s true they are “unregulated” but they are sized to charge the typical automotive start battery.
Start looking at the temperature compensated charge voltage charts, and let the battery cook, you’ll quickly get an idea. Measure, don’t guess!
Posted by: Common Tater at March 22, 2026 01:40 AM (ayI3s)
Will install a shutoff switch at battery, then charge it again. And disconnect when done doing what I need to do.
This sucks, but I won't have time to track down the draw for a while yet... too much on my plate these days! I suspect the passenger side lock & window control unit-- those do not work, concurrent with the battery run-down problem.

High current, low voltage DC is really weird stuff. Even an invisible, paper thin layer of corrosion at a ground point or cable connection, just a few hundredths of a single Ohm …. will cripple alternator output by about 30%. High resistance. Or high for this purpose.
Now, sometimes you’ll see people with an Ohmeter, or talking about “continuity”. Useless for this kind of testing. A “voltage drop test” is the only way to test for this defect. The voltmeter is set to the lowest setting, and the probes placed in parallel along one side of the connection, or connections.
The voltage lost due to corrosion will be displayed as a positive number on the voltmeter. Very good for troubleshooting and maintenance. There will always be some voltage drop, but it needs to be minimized. When everything is new it’s usually OK, but a few years or rain, or road salt, atmospheric pollution, galvanic corrosion - fooked! Every time.
I like it when people say “Yeah, the grounds look good”. What, are fucking Superman with X-Ray vision??

It used to be, hitting a city block was pretty good. In World war II the 8th Army Air Force was losing 4% of the planes on a mission. 10 guys dead, or wounded, or POW etc. They also had to complete 25 missions (later raised to 30, then 35). Statistically they knew they were gonna die, their chances were zero of completion. And they weren’t really always hitting their targets.
Anyway, now they can say, drop a bomb right down the ventilation shaft of the Iraqi Air Force headquarters. And the much vaunted air defense, it no worky.

Saturday Evening Movie Post [moviegique]: The Magnificent Ambersons
Orson Welles' follow-up to Citizen Kane is the touching, tragic tale of an American family that rose to riches and prominence in the 19th century—only to lose it all in the wake of the burgeoning automobile industry.
Well, sort of. A funny thing happened on the way to the bijou (and there is an actual theater called "The Bijou" in this movie): War broke out. And not just any war, but World War II. More about that in a moment. (Stay tuned! for breaking World War II news!) The second book of Booth Tarkington's trilogy, which was awarded the Pulitzer Prize, had been filmed previously, as a 70 minute 1925 silent picture which was chopped down to 33 minutes. Orson Welles recorded a version of this story as an hourlong radio special featuring his Mercury Players. But he wanted to give it proper cinematic treatment. The Tarkingtons were family friends, and the character of Eugene (Joseph Cotton) Welles claimed was based on his own father, also an inventor, who died when Welles was 15.
This little turd is going to get his come-uppance, and it's not going to be fun at all.
The movie goes like this: We get an opening narration with a fashion montage. This shows Joseph Cotton going through the fashions of the years in comical form, with stovepipe hats giving way to big derbies giving way to little derbies, and culminating with the tradition of serenading, as the the young Eugene Morgan (Cotton) goes to woo Isabel Amber (Dolores Costello) and, perhaps because he's had a bit of liquid courage, trips in her front yard, smashing his bass and fleeing in failure.
Because of this, Isabel marries Wilbur Minafer and (according to town gossip) can now be expected to spoil her children, because she doesn't really love Wilbur like she loved Eugene. Enter George Minafer, Isabel's only son, who is a complete terror. After a childhood vignette, he goes off to college, and comes back more or less as awful as when he went, though at least somewhat more dignified. When he returns, he meets Lucy Morgan, the only daughter of Eugene, a recent widower. And what is very clear is that Isabel and Eugene love each other just as they did twenty years ago. There's no impropriety. They simply dance together as George finds himself captivated by Lucy.
"Hey, you're not supposed to look at not-dad like that! You're only supposed to look at ME like that!"
Aunt Fanny about to start some.
George (Tim Holt) and Uncle Jack (Ray Collins) about to take their teasing too far.

Action movie => Indestructible Hero
Slasher movie => Indestructible Villain
So, "Silent Rage" features Chuck Norris repeatedly "killing" the slasher, who just keeps coming back.
In the end, he knocks the slasher down a well, and walks away brushing his hands off. "That's over!"
Then the slasher jumps out of the well. Roll credits.
Tough to end a movie when you've mixed those genres.

The movie does it justice and then some.
Quite randomly I gave my son THE MAN IN THE HIGH CASTLE to read. I don't know if he did or not, but then Netflix put the TV series on recently. 4 seasons, 40 episodes in total. I remember people raving about the series, but I find after 5 episodes wondering if I can make it to the end of season one. I remember the novella as not one of Dick's best but still decent. The series tries to expand a 150 page story it seems, and I'm not sure I'm buying it.
Chuck Norris should have beat Bruce Lee in the Colleseum. I'm not sure why that joke has never been tried in some witty form.

Our host started with the tragic history of the lost 50 minutes, but I didn't let that bother me. It's still great.
Interestingly enough, the original movie had an intense, somewhat downbeat ending, and the patch-up job the studio did was closer to the book (I'm told).

Nobody beats Bruce Lee! Even Robin could only fight him to a draw!

Despite the effects and the fight scenes, the movie doesn't quite take itself seriously enough to be a really 'good' fantasy movie. (It doesn't rise to the level of 'Mythica' or 'Curse of the Dragonslayer') It's not a farcical take on the genre, but the main character doesn't put any effort into sounding like he's from another time. The movie knows that it's just a tribute to older cult-classics (some of which, admittedly are complete farces) and is comfortable being just that.
Not a strong recommendation, but it's not actively terrible.

I have watched and liked older movies. Thin Man. Bing Crosby movies. I should probably watch more and better after my horror kick dies down.
Since I'm watching horror movies now for a bit, I truly love sub-titles, especially during whispering scenes. And for both tv and movies, I think the worst thing ever invented was text messaging....and I'm not much of a movie person...

THEY REMADE DEATHSTALKER?!?!
I guess I knew they were doing that and pushed it out my mind. The "Deathstalker" series was pretty rapey. The first one featured Barbie Benton, which was kind of astonishing.
It bordered on camp, and crossed that border in the sequel, with Monique Gabrielle, the dream girl from "Bachelor Party", the 'centerfold' in the "Pethouse Video" segement of "Amazon Women on the Moon", the girl who discovers she has boobs in "Evil Toons," Emmanuelle in "Emmanuelle 5".
She had a unique acting style that primarily involved her eyebrows.

Black Orchid, taste is taste. It cannot be wrong. Unless it goes into the illegal or immoral, I suppose. Things like pistachio ice cream or pineapple on pizza.
I digress.
It is entirely valid to love a movie simply because it looks good.
There's a movie called "The Love Witch" made in the late '10s, and it is beautifully lit on shot on real film. Is it a good movie? Is it a bad one? I do not know. I know that I love to look at it.

No truer statement has ever been made.
35 That scene where Anne Baxter's character goes into the drugstore to "take a powder" after pretending to be flippant to George is so subtle and well done.
I thought it needed to end a second sooner to be really subtle but a Millenial/GenZ in the audience needed confirmation as to what happened.

Have you seen "F is for Fake"?
As for "Man in the High Castle," I have not seen it, but I think the favorite thing about PK Dick from modern filmmakers is that his stories were short and solipsistic, and therefore can be made to say whatever you want.
The whole point of "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" is that Deckard is only confident of his own mind, and just barely. If Deckard in "Blade Runner" is a replicant, as Ridley Scott exists, but doesn't know it, he's completely reversed the point of the novel.

Alas, there is no 'actress' on the level of Monique Gabrielle in the remake. But there's also no rapey scenes. That's a tradeoff I can live with. Deathstalker himself is played by Daniel Bernhardt, whose name sounded familiar...It took a trip to IMDB for me to realize that (a long time ago) he was the star of 'Future War,' another (hilarious) movie that was featured on Mystery Science Theater 3000.
Fair warning; the movie also features the voice of Patton Oswald. The voice, but not the face. So if you can forget about the actor and just think of it as the voice of Ratatouille...it's not quite as bad.
Posted by: Castle Guy at March 21, 2026 08:16 PM (Lhaco)
But again, the point of the novel, and the point of most of Dick's work after he read L. Ron Hubbard's "Fear" (which is a horror novel about the end result of solipsism) is that you can't trust anything about reality. Like, whoa.
I sorta wonder if he didn't drop acid, because when I did a survey of his written work it was literally ALL like this.

And I won't tonight either. Am now in the middle of An Eye for an Eye. It ain't Orson Welles, but it's fun. This one and Code of Silence are my favorites of the Chuck Norris movies I've seen. Silent Rage is also good goofy fun, and has my favorite continuity error -- Toni Kalem is hiding in the hospital from Brian Libby's walking-dead psycho; Chuck is racing to the rescue, and this in a town where the city limits signs are almost back to back if memory serves; a clock on the hospital wall shows something like 3 or 4 elapsed hours, so you can pretty well guess when everybody broke for lunch.

I have movie fantasies where great action hulks get coached enough to handle classical and Shakespearean roles. I'd have loved to see Chuck Norris and Hulk Hogan as conspirator lords in Henry IV Part I, with the earthquake and fart jokes. Okay so I won't get those two, but there's plenty left -- and Charlton Heston is proof that it worked.

Surely there are limits to that. OK, "gotta" is strong, but do you really think taste - and therefore aesthetic quality - is 100% subjective? That's tough to swallow. Sure, we all have biases and blind spots, but total relativism? I don't buy it.

Ambersons is less playful overall. The filmmaking is experimental, which can he playfull, but I feel like the playfulness mostly manifests in his first film and then when he cared less about money later in life.
Ambersons feels more like him trying to be serious artists. Compare the strict composure of that with the horror feel of Othello, I suppose.

OK. Define an objective standard.
That's rhetorical, of course. You can't.
Ultimately we are all our own authorities on what is good and beautiful. In fact, it could be stated that the extent to which we agree is the extent to which we are dishonest.
I like "The Magnificent Ambersons" and most cineastes would agree. I also like "Forbidden World" and "Galaxy of Terror".
I don't experience all movies in the same way. I enjoy watching "Plan 9 From Outer Space" and "Cat Women of the Moon". It's not the same as "Laurence of Arabia" and "Citizen Kane" but it's not any less valid.

I am dead serious.
My experience of these beautiful old films is true and real. But if Skip comes in and says it's boring (twice! lol) who am I to tell him otherwise?
Where it seems like there's a hard, objective truth under art, you have agreement. This is pretty critical to culture, actually: We have to agree that the Mona Lisa is beautiful and La Pieta and Sarah Bernhardt is a great actress and "As Time Goes By" is a great song and so on, because diversity is actually weakness, and if the boys can't put Betty Grable on their tailfins what are we even fighting for?
But if you push it much, it's an easy consensus to shatter, because it's only as real as people agree it is.
This is the Decline and Fall of the West in a nutshell: We no longer agree one what is good and true and beautiful.

I used to collect as a kid. My recollection is there are one, maybe two, truly valuable old pennies. The one I remember was the "1909 S VDB." I think maybe the other one was a "small date" something. Of course, some others may have become valuable since then. I had no valuable ones, but I thought the steel (?) ones made during the war were really cool.

Most of the courses involve learning "geodesy" -- the science of measuring and representing the geometry, gravity, and spatial orientation of the Earth.
There's A LOT of cool stuff that science can do now to generate incredibly precise maps of the Earth focusing on any detail you can imagine.

A buddy and I were freshmen at IU. Known each other since Boy Scouts. This is 1993. IU has/had a massive library five floors in the undergrad tower and 14 floors in the research tower. We were still wide eyed and seeing the shit that the university life had aside from alcohol and boobs.
Some tells me one day: hey, someone told me about where we could find some maps in the library. Its way up in the stacks. Me: really? Could be cool.
So we head up to the 13th floor(iirc) of the research collection. Each of these floors is just rows and rows of bookshelves (some study carols around the perimeter.) We head back (i could probably still find it if they have not moved everything) and we find the section. Books and books and books of maps (atlases.) So we start looking and amongst these we found these flat boxes.

Opened one of them and it was stacks of sheets of paper. Map plates meant to be put together to make a much larger map. Memory says they (the plates) were larger than 11x17, but that would make the most sense from a sizing perspective. We found one we could tell was a world map that had like 16 plates, but another that was far more detailed and was what we thought was a map of western Europe. I wanna say it was like 32 plates. Very fine detail. Hell, it might have been just Germany.
So we are looking at these and we both have the same thought:
Andy: take them to the copier downstairs?
Me: I don't think they have paper this size in those copiers.
Andy: Kinkos or Staples?
Me: we'd have to smuggle them out using those architect tube things...

Regarding maps, you reminded me of an Ancient Aliens episode where they discussed maps of Antarctica from the 1500's!!
This was from a site called seekernotes...
"Ancient Antarctica on Medieval Maps
You might be surprised to learn that Antarctica appears on maps created centuries before its official discovery in 1820. The Pinkerton World Map from 1813-1818 shows just a blank space where Antarctica should be, yet much older maps seem to know exactly where it is.
The Walle Wooler world map from 1530 clearly shows Antarctica positioned south of both South America and Africa. The mapmakers called it the “Southern Land,” and interestingly, they depicted it as much larger than it appears today. This size difference makes sense because during the Ice Age, Antarctica was indeed much bigger before ice sheets covered so much of the continent.
The mystery deepens when you consider that these 1500s maps were based on even older source materials."

The last day of third grade, we each got an aerial navigation map of Central Europe. All but the southern extremity of the FRG is depicted. It has a good chunk of the UK and the southern extremity of Sweden. And...a good portion of Eastern Europe. It depicts the aerial pathways to Berlin, and has warnings posted in various spots warning that flying is restricted and aircraft can and will be fired on without warning. "Consult NOTAMS for the latest information".
We all put the map on our walls at home.
It's fragile now but I still have it, folded up.

I am functionally retarded navigation wise. I don't mean that mockingly, I believe there is something seriously wrong with my spatial sense. It is practically not there. I have gotten lost in a closet many times. Walked in, then wasn't sure how to get out. But I have systems like, spinning around until an exit appears. My car system is to drive in increasingly large spirals, like right turns only until something comes up. It is actually very hard to deal with and phone guidance helps a lot.
I used to print maps and had a car full of maps a long time ago.

I have never driven the Collider, I don't care what she says.
Too bad there's no more real Bond movies. That would go in.
I was a government map maker once, although I can't do geodesy math. There were a lot of fun cheats for that. My sympathy is, and has always been, with the guys who made up those physical printing plates for 'real' maps. When you suddenly do away with Cesar Chavez Boulevard, just to idly fantasize a case, they have to go all hammer and tongs. In my shop we had chart paper, drawing boards, and for a while, mylar transparencies with rotary erasing machines.

Unauthorized trail markers an issue in this area. Some people feel the need to blaze mark trails because they are sure it is the correct route, same with rock cairns. A few hikers have gotten seriously lost by following these markers.
Rock cairns(karens) should only be used for your own backtrack route and should be taken down as you pass them on the way out.

I received my eBay find, a Marxman pot-bowl pipe from somewhere between 1934 and 1953. Those were the only years the company existed on its own. A beautiful pipe, almost too good-looking for me to bring a flame anywhere near it. Fortunately I ignored that impulse. My first smoke in it, with some Match Carter Hall, burned hot -- my packing, maybe, or an outside breeze -- and I was afraid the pipe would be a poor smoker.
Not at all. I smoked another and milder blend indoors this morning, and it was a great session.
Interesting to smoke a pipe that might be as old as, or older than, you are.

In the first half of my legal career I represented state agencies (land office, transportation, natural resources, etc) on real estate and related matters (including RR abandonment and riparian and littoral rights). I worked with the agencies developing plans, maps and exhibits from aerial photo mosaics (state agencies took arial photos of the state about every 5 years), hundred-year-old or older surveys and journals, and other records.
One of my cases involved reestablishing a state boundry by determining the location of a river in the early 19th century. The river had shifted location about 20 years later due to an earthquake before the area was surveyed and so trappers' journals and the like were the only available records. All that got me interested in surveying, mapmaking, and engineering, hence the books by Prof Monmonier.

Marcy looks, except for the green eyes, much like my Stirling. I have a pic of him taken when he was less than five months old looking very much like that. It was during his "one white whisker" phase -- a sort of punk look among cats, I suppose. I told him sternly that the one white whisker amid his total black ruined his looks. Fortunately the whisker fell out on its own.

By the way, today at Walmart I saw stainless steel litter boxes for sale. I didn't see the price on the shelf, though. Has anybody used one of those? Once I have my house, I plan to set up a second box for the furballs, perhaps in the basement, and a low-maintenance deal would be nice.

The dogs are... confused. Ruby thinks it is a violation of her space, but she has been cordial nonetheless. Piper, the idiot, is really concerned when grandbaby cries. Gives him kisses on the ears. But, she also spends a lot of time outside, probably on moose patrol, but also I think because she objects to grandbaby sitting on DH.
Sunny and beautiful here, life is good.

For over three years she has stayed mostly in the bedroom/office of my house.
Just this week she's been going out into the living room and even into the sunroom. That's been Hexie's territory.
Good for her. She still doesn't like Hexie (growls at her), but Penny wants her territory back and they have reached an accommodation of sorts.

I thought he broke his leg and had to take a panic pill. I gave him one of his arthritis pain pills and he started to move around. Horrible limp.
I brought him to the vet stopping off at Arby's to get him meat in case that was his last meal. The miracle properties of Arby's meat brought him back like Lazarus. At the vets' office, I had the vet hold out the container for him. Limping but tons of life.
She examined him and gave him extra pills for pain. Twice a day. I'm not letting him climb any stairs for the two weeks. I'm carrying him in and outside and as I sit and watch tv, I lift him on and off the bed. He's only about forty some pounds.
He was already high maintenance but I have a new appreciation for him. He's doing remarkably well but I've commited to carrying him. So I don't get frustrated, I told myself we'll see how he is after 500 carries. 481 left.
I'm watching zombie movies in honour of Ralphy refusing to die. I told the vet he has a stronger survival instinct than I do.
Posted by: Stateless at March 21, 2026 03:55 PM (Sco7b)
I actually have pictures taken today of her nestled between Ralphy's legs sleeping. At one point she was licking and grooming him.
I really have to commit to getting these pictures to the Pet thread.

Stirling (male, altered, age four) has recently gotten rougher in his play with little Dagny (female, spayed, same age). He actually springs on her and wants to play roughly. (I hope it's play and not something else.) If I hear her cry I spray him with the water bottle and chase him off. She has her claws to fight back with, of course, but her reach is shorter than Stirling's. And she can hole up between the sofa and the end table, where he would be vulnerable if he ventured in.
I pray this is only a phase he's going through. Though altered, he is only twenty in human terms, and I suspect he still has some high-T to work off now and then.

Snowflake is a long haired cat. Since she's been outside, her fur is really matted. It's just fur.
Will this fall away as her winter fur sheds? I've never seen her like this.

One of the reasons I don't let them roam around, they have to stay in the yard. Well that but also I don't want them bothering the neighbors or getting near the road.

Do you keep sheep? DH is reluctant for me to get sheep. A friend has a flock of "tiny" sheep, and I think a pair of them would do nicely to trim the lawn, fertilize, etc. He thinks I'm nuts.

Wolfus can probably give you a better run down, but if you cat mats up you may need to brush the cat, or comb it out. if it is too matted, then you may need to cut it out, or what I did with minor mats in my cat's armpits and groin, cut the top off and brush the rest out.
I use an undercoat shedding comb and an unused shoe buffing brush for my two long-hairs

She might be able to gnaw away some of those mats, but some she probably can't reach. I don't think they fall out on their own.
If she is amenable to it, you can cut some of them out with a scissors while she's eating or drinking. But if her matting is bad, she might need to be sheared -- the "lion cut," so that her body is trimmed back to velvet, but her head, legs, and some of her tail are still bushy-furred. I had to have that done to two of my cats.

That's better than I could have described it.
Fortunately my longhairs have had silky fur, not Persian style, so they didn't mat often.

Thank you. I did cut a huge piece dangling from her ear but it was far away. The rest of the fur is really close to her body.
She's obviously comfortable with me so I'll probably go to the pet store and try to comb it out if it doesn't work itself out.

Thanks Wolfus. She's here now. I think you're right. Some of the furballs have seemed to disappear so she's probably worked them out.
She comes in here often enough for water and affection so I'll work on this. I never thought cats could be so affectionate. She'll rest in my lap watching tv.

Cats get a bad rep for being "aloof."
But that's highly misleading. When you've bonded with a cat, they will show you as much affection as any dog will.
Which can be annoying and inconvenient when they want to jump in your lap at an inopportune moment.

Cats aren't pack animals, but they are social. Even ferals collect in colonies. And cats do become fond of "their" humans; perhaps even love us in their own peculiar way.

Our Shadow is a short hair and gets matts in her fur every summer from rubbing up against the pine sap dripping from the floor joists of the garden shed.
I think ya'lls would eventually fall off, especially as it is winter fur.
Mr. S can't stand how she looks, so he stealthily clips away at them with various scissors while she's asleep.

Gardening, Home and Nature Thread, March 21
My Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter cactus blooms for all 3 holidays. Here is the most recent one. sharon(willow's apprentice)Truly amazing that you get three holidays from that cactus! Beautiful photo.
From Neal in Israel:
Katy, shalom, Things in the garden started acting like springtime a few weeks ago. Alstroemeria: After the die-off of all above ground stems towards the end of the summer, the plantings came back strong during the winter, and all but one are already well into flowering.
Edible Gardening/Putting Things By From Neal in Israel:
Lime: The tree is strong, and is the first of my little collection of fruit trees to begin significant blossoming in the spring. Fruit has begun to set. I'll be hoping that the strong storm predicted for the coming week won't strip the tree of the beginning of this year's yield. Best regards,
Neal
The blossoms look promising. Hope they stick!
I can’t believe I’ve never made spaghetti squash.

The iris - hardy flowers that they are - are putting up leaves.
It always amuses me that they seem to prefer to have their corms (rhizomes?) only half way into the dirt.
Also I've got snapdragons coming up between the patio bricks. Normally they die over winter and come back from seeds. These just overwintered entirely because we didn't have any hard freezes this year.

Here in North-East Home of the Red Man, we shifted last week from Winter 20-degree lows to Summer 90+ degree hights. Spring was about one day.
The grass isn't growing much yet, but the clover is high. The fruit trees are budding out. Son's peach trees have lots of flowers. Redbuds and Hawthornes are full of flowers.
Daughter has discovered a couple of volunteer Ponderosas which we're going to attempt to transplant. We have three mighty ones from my grandfather's day and would enjoy having more.
But the real key to it's already Summer is: hornets and skeeters and ticks, oh my! The bugs do seem to be anxious to get going. And snakes. It's a jungle out there.

Weird winter and weird dry spring, but they bloom anyway. Not the normal pretty green mountains and grass with the blooms, but I'm moving on.
If the Western mountains drought continues I see myself in a Grapes of Wrath scenario by August, but I'll cross that bridge when I have to. Or go north almost to Canada to escape for two weeks.
I want large heavy ceramic urns for the patio for dahlias.Husband said no (which is rare). My son witnessed a brief rare disagreement of us about this. I am going to focus on son's brain to get me heavy urns for my May birthday. Husband said it would hurt his back, even with a dolly. I may hire illegals then be murdered for my cause.

I removed the straw from the asparagus bed (I see one tiny sprout) and from my pot of garlic (added some fertilizer, and hand-watered). I raked up the last of the mess under the 2 old apple trees and composted it all.
We talked about what to do with the area behind the kitchen, which floods regularly and tends to kill bulbs. I'll dig all the bulbs out after they're done, and we'll put in a small raised bed for them, plus a French drain to get the water moved out to the lawn.
Around town, lots of forsythia, many flowering trees, first daffodils. In our yard, forsythia flowering, redbud and dogwood only budding, crabapple leafing out, peach tree and hyacinths flowering.
Today was cleanup day at our gun range - they put us "responsible adults" in charge of the biggest burn pile, then gave us a pile of pizza. I napped the afternoon away.

Carrie Prejean Boller Challenges Bishop Barron Over Commission Firing Boller, a recent Catholic convert and former evangelical, said the text supported her belief that modern Israel does not fulfill biblical prophecy, a stance she links to her February removal from President Trump's White House Religious Liberty Commission. Barron acknowledged the text but attributed her dismissal to disruptive behavior at a prior meeting, like browbeating witnesses and hijacking discussions. He affirmed the Catholic view condemning antisemitism and supporting Israel's right to exist while rejecting prophetic fulfillment, a position less common among evangelicals. The public clash highlights tensions in conservative circles over theology, religious authenticity, and coalition unity.
This story is a summary of posts on X and may evolve over time. Grok can make mistakes, verify its outputs.Prediction prompted by a bit of earlier communication from Prejean Boller to the Bishop:

Yahoo News ran a dark piece about Catholics for Catholics after their gala, Candace Owens, Joe Kent and generally others viewed as conservatives. The piece claims that Candace was supposed to interview Joe Kent. But I was struck by the characterization of Kent as having "proximity to" white supremacists and neo-Nazis. And characterizing Candace as "MAGA Right". For the conspiracy theoristsLiterally taking a dump on a dead man's beliefs.

How a Network of Catholic Integralists, Russian Ideologues, and Media Provocateurs Are Systematically Dismantling the Evangelical Foundation of the American Right Insurrectionist! This is a deep piece that takes some time to read. You may agree or disagree with part or all of it. Juicy Ecumenism wrote a much shorter piece about the essay. It has some typical leftist academic slant, but gives you an idea what the arguments are about.
Guys don’t fall for it. This is a propaganda trick where the woman says nothing & they want you to fill in the blanks mentally. If he is the monster you say he is, fine, then say what he did.

As the “endless” conflict in Iran neared third weeks old, it continued to dominate the news and, to a large extent, the memes. Reports of a gay Ayatollah prompted a great deal of meme-merriment. Of course there was other news: the Democrats’ shutdown of DHS continued, freedom for Cuba glimmered on the horizon, Chuck Norris died. Allegedly. And, finally–Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Oh wait, one more thing–reportedly there was some kind of party in Hollywood last week, but I don’t know anything about it because no one watched it.

I don’t understand how reading something from an evangelical is anti Catholic. I really enjoy Insurrection Barbie, people have tried to attack her past, but isn’t that what being Christian is about? Recognizing flaws, seeking forgiveness and doing what you can to be better. I only know 1 perfect person.

She converted to a Candace strain of Catholicism either a month before or after her appointment to the religious liberty commission. She wants a following sort of like the one Candace has.

Chavez and UFW had both already gotten the bell, book, and candle and been convicted of retroactive apostasy, so there's really no point.
I think it's just a couple of clapped out old Communist scrunts who sense that they can capitalize on that hatred for Chavez on the Left, whether their allegations are true or not.

Dispensationalism is
an evangelical theological framework interpreting history as a series of distinct,7-period,divine-led dispensations—such as Law and Grace—characterized by a sharp distinction between Israel and the Church, a literal interpretation of prophecy, and a premillennial, pretribulational eschatology. Developed in the 19th century, it emphasizes that God has distinct plans for Israel and the Church, with a future millennial kingdom.
Core Beliefs of Dispensationalism
Distinct Peoples: A fundamental separation between Israel (earthly people) and the Church (heavenly people), with God's plans for each remaining distinct.
Literal Hermeneutics: A consistent, literal, grammatical-historical approach to interpreting Scripture, especially prophecy.
Historical Periods (Dispensations): History is divided into periods (often seven: Innocence, Conscience, Human Government, Promise, Law, Grace, Kingdom) where God manages human affairs differently, typically ending in judgment.

This is going to be an ongoing problem for these denominations, and it's particularly sad for the Catholics, since they set aside their antisemitism long, long ago, and have been a group the WASP elites have historically hated only slightly less than Jews.

She sounds like a social ladder climbing self-promoter. She first used sex for that, then politics, then now politics/religion. If she really wanted to change she'd get out of the spotlight. She absolutely should because she's obviously making some horrible decisions along with a lot of other people. Her social status, as contemporary times measure it, is not going to matter at the end.

I would say selling hatred or guaranteed prosperity are the easiest grifts. Bigotry is simply grifters selling hatred manifesting as religion. Others like Joel Osteen sell prosperity. Then you have the secular versions like the Democrat party.
Neither Boller nor Osteen are noted for their theological credentials and thus rely on cherry picking the Bible and tradition in order to make money from the foolish.
There is always a way to grift using human emotions to manipulate.

>Biden immigration crisis was a boon for Catholic Charities, which raked in billions in grant money
>The local charities received a substantial influx of taxpayer cash to provide services to immigrants, including shelter, food and travel.
>According to data from USAspending.gov, Catholic Charities branches across the United States collected over $2 billion in federal grants over the last four years of the Biden administration, primarily through the Department of Health and Human Services which granted about $1.93 billion for programs. Other agencies, like the Department of Homeland Security and Housing and Urban Development also doled out significant—if smaller—sums, about $156 million and $138 million, respectively.

The political/media world is a Left-Liberal monoculture and "our" "side" is just a pile of fresh meat for them, since we are completely unrepresented save for Donald Trump, which makes us pathetically thirsty and willing to believe in literally *anyone* who makes even a desultory pretense of being on our side. Particularly if that person is young, good-looking, dark-skinned, or some combination thereof.
It has been this way my entire life, and no matter how many times these avaricious cretins screw us, we bite the next hook greedily - and often when it's set by the same exact fisherman who put one through our eye the day before.

There was a recent analysis of Joe Kent I ran across, that had an insight to put the split, or at least the reason for the split, in a different light
"The deeper split is over whether Jews are intrinsic to the American civilizational body or extrinsic to it. If extrinsic, fusion looks like capture, subsidy, or entanglement. If intrinsic, fusion looks like self-defense, continuity maintenance, and home-system consolidation. Everything downstream [ . . . ] reads differently depending on which definition of America you inhabit." (@BryantMcGill https://tinyurl.com/e9hkku3u)

Early church history circa is replete with tales of all sorts of rascal heretics as those that actually witnessed Jesus and his life died off as did their successors. So by the time three generations had passed, you start getting the truly bizarre amalgamation of elements of Christianity but turned toward dark practices. St. Iraeneus does a pretty good job cataloging them as they popped up around about 100 years after Christ.

The op is aimed at young males and to keep Jewish donors from considering the Right as a friend. So you set up a fake fight. Same reason SPLC pivoted to ginning up fake tales of white groups attacking minorities as a grift and the ADL went far left with the same shtick.

The only thing that could “fix” them is a dose or three of the Ike Turner treatment. Apologies to the ‘ettes for that, but there are a distinct class of both men and women who require that kind of thing to keep them tolerable.

Bowtie Boy and his drunk brother are the type of unfunny clowns that would make Goebbels blush with embarrassment.
Unfortunately, you still see some people arguing that a) Tucker was right in whatever position he took in the past, b) that he somehow became lost.
The truth was he was always a media whore who did not give one damn about the US, society, or others as long as he had a job and got paid to spout his drivel. His long media career indicates that.

I think you can have arguments within Roman Catholicism about Mary, the saints, Purgatory, social items, etc., and still be Catholic.
But between these folks (who seem angry about the Roman church, yet claim it) and the ones I might call "Conservative Romans" and the Proggy folks.... Oy vey.

You can be theologically smart. I know of lots of people who know all the Biblical languages and can parse Bible verses really well.
You can be theologically well-educated. Which can appear smart, but usually uses a lot bigger words to obscure things. And define those important words using other important big words.
You can be theologically wise, too. These are the people who can actually point you to God through Scripture. A lot of them are also theologically smart. Some of them are even theologically well-educated. Their faith is usually a bit easier to see.

Romans explains a lot about JC fulfilling the OT law. Whether there are different "dispensations" or not, hard to say exactly. But JC was the one time human sacrifice, so Galatians 3:28 "There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus."
imo this may well be true even in the OT, not the one in Christ part, but there were plenty of evil "Jews" in the OT, and often only a remnant were faithful. And JC spoke to the Gentile when she said even the dogs can eat the scraps from the table (or something like that).
On the civil/social level, our fight is more against globalist tyrants and Islamic "supremacists". Fighting for "Western Civilization" is the rallying point that should bind us together (and mostly it has).
I have some disdain for any "group" (headed by earthly men) that claims "Join us or you are going to hell, and (usually) we will treat you like the infidels you are if you don't submit to us". Even outside the body of Christ, the only other raisings from the dead are the resurrection of the just, and the resurrection of the unjust. (not counting miracle raising of Lazarus and such)

There are reason why there are warnings against letting new converts into positions of authority.

There is no putting them down. A large subset of the Right are dyed-in-the-wool dumbfucks and their leaders are all con artists. They also don't control anything, so it doesn't really matter. There really is no fixing it as long as this political system continues its shambolic march into oblivion.

And here is where the issue comes in.
Some people see "the hand of God" in its establishment, and also see the hand of God in the establishment of the US, and see it in a lot of other events around the world (and in their personal lives).
Some others see "the Hand of God" in it as "This marks a Prophecy coming true!" And, for many of them, sadly, that provides a checkmark on the timeline to the Day of Judgment and such. Some of them still see King Charles as one of the symbols in Revelation, I'm sure.
Some, of course, don't see the hand of God in anything.
But, there is a marked difference between seeing God's sovereignty in everything and seeing a roadmap that lets you know what's about to happen.

Dispensationalism did not come into being with the pre-trib rapture. A doctrine, along with mid and post-trib, I can easily destroy.
A proper view of dispensationalism is there are two ages. This current, evil wicked age and the Kingdom age to come.
And as far as interpreting prophecy, ask yourself this. What is the test of a prophet? Can you actually perform that test if you can't take what is said at face value?
Yes, Christ will return. Praise God!!! And on the day He returns the church will be raptured and God will start pouring out His day of the Lord wrath.
At some point during the 2nd half of Daniel's 70th week.

But the idea that "people are stupid" rules the day. You can screen for counterfeits all day long and fail. Unless you have educated, indoctrinated, and trained everyone on the REAL THING. It's true with "politics" and with "religion." (Also, honestly, with "common sense.")
If you want to grow the party without having to fight the grifters, then your best bet is to set up a set of principles, foundational to all the things you believe, at the most basic level. Then you require adherence to those principles. Then you build up your platform on those principles - and you require adherence to that platform. NOT as received wisdom, but through proper logic from the principles. Then you hold up everything said against those principles, and the logic- and wisdom-derived platform and see if it matches. You might get a broad set of things that matches. Sometimes it will be very narrow. But you stick to those principles and the guiding thoughts that take you to the platform

The OT prophecies all have Israel being restored after they repent and turn back to God. Even if you're a Jew and not a Christian, this doesn't work, since a great many Jews who founded the modern nation state were atheists. Certainly no worshipers of the OT Jehovah.
And I am a Christian, and therefore believe that Jesus of Nazareth is the Jewish Messiah, and agree with the Apostles that the only way the Jewish people will repent is by embracing Jesus. See Romans 11, for example. I think the fact that Israel is a functioning democracy and doesn't send people with nail bombs strapped to their chests into pizza parlors is sufficient to support them. But I won't drag biblical prophecy into the discussion.

The Classical Saturday Morning Coffee Break & Prayer Revival
2) Be kind, be nice. Or don't get caught.
3) Running with sharp objects is no way to impress the one you want to.
4) Have a great weekend!
AoSHQ Weekly Prayer List Please submit any prayer requests to me, “Annie’s Stew” at apaslo at-sign hotmail dot com. Prayer requests are generally removed after four weeks unless we receive an update. Prayer Requests:
1/31 – George V asked for prayers for his wife. She needs a heart valve replacement but first needs a heart cath to assess the valve and determine the replacement procedure and perhaps put stents in the coronary arteries that may be partially blocked. Also, the preliminary CT scan of her heart showed spots on her lungs that may be cancerous.
2/21 Update – The prayers are working. Thanks be to God and everyone who prayed. The heart cath showed no blockages in her arteries. The heart valve procedure will be in about 4 weeks. The pulmonologist said the lung spots have a very low chance of being cancerous, but a second scan will tell for sure. So far good news, and thanks to all who prayed for her. 2/19 – mindful webworker requested prayers for his wife. Milady Jo will be having surgery on 2/26. It should be outpatient, and then a couple of weeks of recovery. Prayers are welcome for her, her surgeon, and her hapless husband while she’s down.
2/26 Update – The surgery is for Respiratory Epithelial Adenomatoid Hamartomak (REAH) – basically a blocked up nose. It’s relatively rare. It took a while to find an ENT whose diagnosis and surgical recommendation gave confidence. The surgery should improve her life greatly. It is scheduled for 1 pm.
2/28 Update – Thanks for the good thoughts and prayers for MiladyJo’s surgery. It took about 4 hours and seems to have been completely successful. There has been a great improvement in breathing and even appearance. She said that, after years of waiting, it seems like a dream, and that she knows with family, friends, and Morons and ‘Ettes, she is much loved. 2/20 – Gouveneur Morris requested prayers for herself as she has surgery scheduled for 2/27 for spondylolisthesis.
3/5 Update - Gouveneur Morris’ surgery was successful – every prayer and thought directed her way is appreciated. 2/21 - Skip asked for prayers for his sister and her two children, as they grieve their husband/father. The memorial service was on 2/21. 2/21 – Vmom deport deport deport asked for prayers for Gerry and Cathy, the elderly parents of her co-worker, B. Gerry and Cathy are in failing health, and B is bravely trying to keep them cared for and independent while also being a mom to her own kids. 2/21 – San Franpsycho requested a prayer for complete and immediate healing for PS, his oldest living relative, who is back in the hospital due to post-surgery fever and possible pneumonia. 2/21 – Sock Monkey asked for prayers of comfort and peace for Rickb223, who recently lost his wife to cancer. It was apparently a long battle and he was her primary caregiver. He is struggling. Please pray for him. 2/25 – LinusVanPelt posted a request for prayers for himself. He had a health scare and it’s freaking him out a bit. He had a real thing happen, and then received a clean bill of health, but has 2 more doctors to see. He can’t stop irrationally worrying that they’re going to say bad stuff (despite the real reason for the visits is to adjust medication levels).
2/28 Update – He woke up in a hospital ICU recently. Everything checked out, and it was a stress-induced incident, but that means he needs to make changes in his professional life. He is looking for the Lord’s guidance. 2/25 – Teresa in Fort Worth posted that she might need some prayers. Her PET scan was less than encouraging. She will have more information on 2/26.
2/27 Update – The newest chemo protocol appears to be working. Her cancer markers are below the “cancerous” range. So for now they will continue with 2 weeks of continuous medication delivered directly into the Hepatic Artery and 2 weeks off. Unfortunately, one of the meds is a low dose of steroids, so her appetite and her Zepbound are currently duking it out. 2/25 – Robert posted that he needed an ‘Ette to kindly bash his brains in. He is suffering yet another massive gout flare up, and needs someone to end it all for him. He asks for an ‘Ette because he knows women are capable of inflicting great violence with only love in their hearts. 2/26 – Farmer could use some prayers. A biopsy is scheduled soon. The dentist said he found a couple of suspect spots. After having had prostate cancer, anything like this really alarms him. 2/26 – Bluebell passed along news from winger: “Tomorrow (2/27) I go in for an all day marathon of tests and consultations. Then Monday (3/2) they will attempt the surgery. It is quite complex and they are not exactly sure they can do it. If they can, it will be a ten hour procedure. I confess to being a little apprehensive. The Rev is a little overwhelmed poor soul. Fortunately my two kids have me covered. My daughter the nurse for the medical side, and my son for the spiritual side. He has been a rock.”
3/10 Update – GrammieWinger’s son said she wanted us to know that she had surgery last Monday, and they were able to get most of the cancer, but they had to remove her colon. It’ll be a long recovery time, but she’s in good spirits and good hands. Grammie’s daughter has been at the hospital every day. Grammie Winger is very thankful for all of your prayers and she looks forward to talking with us soon! 2/27 – turambar posted that his/her mom had surgery for a broken left hip. Lots of pins and a rod were required to fix her up. She is in recovery now and doing okay, but she has a long road ahead since she is 86 years old. Thanks for your prayers; turambar appreciated them so much. 2/28 – 2009Refugee asked for prayers for an older sister who was scheduled for brain surgery on 3/4. 2/28 – no one of any consequence requested prayers for the repose of his oldest friend, who died on 2/22. His friend had returned to the church in recent years. No one of any consequence will be giving the eulogy at his memorial mass. 2/28 – San Franpsycho asked for prayers for P’nina Bat Surel, who remains hospitalized and still is not stabilized. 2/28 – Fenelon Spoke asked for prayers for a friend, P, who is dealing with a pinched nerve and has to have surgery in a week or so. She also has a daughter, K, who just got out of the hospital having had major mental health problems. 2/28 – LinusVanPelt requested prayers for our troops, President Trump, and for Israel’s government and the IDF as well. 2/28 – Sock Monkey requests prayers for Mrs. Sock. She crashed and burned pretty hard while skiing Thursday. She went to work very sore and using a cane. 2/28 – JJ posted that his wife was discharged from her rehab facility and her prognosis post shunt surgery to regain strength and physical abilities is excellent. 3/2 – RickZ posted that he received bad news. He went to the ER with muscle pain and came out with a cancer diagnosis. He could use prayers for an extremely capable oncological team of cancer specialists, and that God guides their hands and minds as they work to rid Rick of cancer. And also that God would provide him peace and calm, and to help sustain him through this trial. 3/5 – Inogame posted the good news that baby #5 arrived! Baby was overdue by 12 days. Mom and baby are doing well. Baby was 9 pounds 8 ounces, and 21.5 inches long. 3/5 – IrishEI has learned that she needs major surgery on 3/16, and she would really appreciate prayers. 3/7 – Uncle Slayton posted the good news that his son-in-law, Kenny, is almost 3 years cancer-free. He beat lymphoma and leukemia, and Uncle Slayton wanted to thank everyone who prayed for him. 3/7 – Joe Kidd sent an update on a previous prayer, for a young girl named Jasmine. She is the adopted daughter of a friend of a friend. She had been rescued from abuse, but was withdrawn, etc. The friend took the family on an RV trip, and with lots of TLC for Jasmine, things have improved. It appears that God has surrounded this young girl with an army of angels, and your prayers for her are being heard. May those listed here and whispered elsewhere receive similar affirmation. 3/7 – vmom deport deport deport requested prayers for GB, the husband of her friend; he just had a quadruple bypass a couple of days ago, following a heart attack. 3/10 – Warai-otoko asked for prayers for a sister-in-law with some respiratory issues, who just took a hard turn for the worse. Thanks to everyone, even if you just take a fraction of a second for it. 3/10 – Update on Susan, who we have been praying for as she battles cancer. She is hospitalized again with an infection in her colon that quickly turned bad. The doctor says the signs are sepsis but they are running tests to make sure. The good news is that the pancreatic cancer was and is responding to the chemo and her cancer numbers are going down. God bless and thank you!
3/19 Update – Susan is still in the hospital, but she is doing 100% better. The doctors are not ready to release her yet, but everything is going in the right direction. They keep saying “maybe tomorrow”. 3/11 – Bulg sends a prayer of thanks. He called his formerly estranged sister on her birthday, and they had a wonderful conversation. It was their second conversation since February, and there was no animosity at all. 3/11 – Doof sent his appreciation for the Horde’s prayers for his mom, who has been in post-hospitalization rehab since mid-January. She has recovered from her illnesses, but her body seems to be increasingly giving up on her. PT has become too painful and exhausting for her. She is also having increased brain fog and is rapidly losing the ability to do things like answer her phone or send texts. Continued prayers requested for her, as she is very sad, and also for Doof and his sister as they figure out what’s next.
3/16 Update – Doof’s mother is not doing very well. Her 100 days of post-hospital rehab will be ending soon, and she is not nearly recovered enough to live alone. She’s almost completely confined to bed. She will be moved to long-term care soon, and will likely be there for the rest of her life. They appreciate the prayers. 3/14 – Retired Buckeye Cop asks for prayers for Mrs. Cop’s cousin, “A.B”. He has been diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver. He is a retired police officer who was hit by a car years ago. He attempted to deal with the pain by self-medicating with too much Tylenol, which ended up poisoning his liver. His only alternative is a liver transplant, but he is uncertain if he wants to have surgery. 3/18 – TecumsehTea requests prayers, as her husband was fired from a job he enjoyed very much on 3/17. Prayers are needed for peace, direction, and clarity. They trust God will provide the right job at the right time, and that He would give them peace in the waiting. TecumsehTea is still dealing with the effects of her heart attack last July. Prayers for healing, as her BP continues to be unstable. Chronic Lyme disease and autoimmune disease complicates everything. She trusts that God is faithful and good and He will take care of their needs.

Many things in life are a Catch 22 - You cannot get none unless you are getting some!
This case - always easier to get a job if you have a job (and desire a better one).
Go to Manpower, or any other temp agency, or headhunters.
Take anything, then look for anything better and work to move up.

I just mention this b/c his field (and all bio science type fields) is overstuffed with laid off feds with masters level degrees and years+ of experience, so he's unlikely to be able to break in, especially on the east coast...too many people fighting for too few jobs. The feds didn't really leave this area.
So, he may need to bide his time. And while doing so, he doesn't want to let his resume turn stale, especially as he's so young. He wants to be doing, even if he's not paid for doing. Collecting certs or licenses and training, collecting good employment recs, even in fields that aren't his.

Read a lengthy post yesterday on Iran by a non-military person just trying to sort out the news.
My take away of that analysis is the biggest factor in Iran's favor is they organized their IRGC divisions (~40) to operate independent of central command if they lose C3.
IOW, it looks like they are popping off in all directions because they are by design. This would make it hard to occupy them... not that anyone wants to.
This actually backfired on them as while attacked by countries 'A' and 'B', the disjointed divisions respond by attacking countries 'C', 'D', 'E', 'F'....

I don't want to say he's dispirited, but he's still really struggling that at this point in his career (45+years) he made that kind of an error. I'm not making excuses for him, it just seems that outright termination was a bit much. But, big corp, safety is primary, I get all that. It's hard to see someone who has worked so hard have it all disappear just like that.

Could have knocked me over with a feather.
She remains estranged, but my wife is painstakingly nudging her back to it, patiently listening to her quotes from the Holy Prophet ChatGPT and offering qualified agreement and gentle correction where appropriate. She is doing what I cannot: explain the Church from the Wiccan/Astrology/New Age perspective that she formerly had. She speaks that language and is showing that all of those things are from God, not independent or part of some other power source.
Your prayers have been effective! Please continue them!

Fen,
Has your son considered starting his own landscaping design maintenance small usiness? As someone said earkier, collect some certs, volunteer at an assisted kiving center with a (small) colorful potted plant class that could go in their rooms.
for the small usiness, start small, go to a county parole office and ask how to get on their list of small businesses availa le to hire non-violent parolees. your church, can also be part of that new parole environment as well. this is something I've thougjt about doing at retirement myself if I'm still healthy enough to do so.

Their assumption was that we would invade them as we did Iraq and Afghanistan. What they did not count on was that we would simply blockade their economy while systematically destroying their leadership. Those isolated cells will eventually run out of ammunition, and when it becomes clear that the US can maintain this state of affairs indefinitely, morale will collapse.
Also important: Iran is far more politically mature than any of the Arab states. It has an ancient culture that has proven itself capable of self-rule. There is no need to install a "strongman" in Iran because it posses a knowledge of institutions that makes a limited monarchy feasible and they can do it by themselves.

The key element in all these suggestions is that he get a job, any job. I worked in a photography studio for a while, then on a few campaigns, unloaded trucks, stamped widgets, did polling, telemarketing and lawyer referrals.
When you present a resume that shows all that, the employer sees that you want to work. Later on, for space reasons you can drop the menial crap, focusing on relevant skills, but as others said: want a job? Get a job.

Absolutely! It's not just paternal/maternal, it's that each one of us have different relationships with our kids. Oldest and youngest go to Mom first, but middle kid seeks me out. It's funny because my phone will go off and if I can't get to it, my wife's immediately rings. She is the one in the Guard, so I'm the SME she needs much of the time.
Only two drills left for her. Finishes in May.

He had what he thought was a good relationship with his employer and then they broke up with him- that's probably what it feels like.
IMO don't make excuses for the employer. Eff them. They threw away a longtime good worker at the first opportunity. Did they think he was getting old? Was his payrate getting too high? There are all sorts of possible reasons.
Consider looking (on your own) for a lawyer through the public service agencies.
If the employer disputes UE, he will need one.

3 Democratic pastors in Iowa are running for Congress, a snapshot of a national trend.
After years of white Christians overwhelmingly supporting Republican Donald Trump, a striking number of clergy are currently running for political office as Democrats. While James Talarico, a 36-year-old Presbyterian seminarian who recently won his Texas primary for U.S. Senate, has gained national attention, he's hardly the only progressive candidate with a theological education this midterm season.
Democrats' next challenge is to figure out how to talk about faith for the long haul in a party that's more religiously diverse than Republicans and has a greater number of voters who aren't religious at all.
Democrats now see glossing over religious differences isn’t the answer. “That left a vacuum that the religious right has filled. And there are a lot of people now realizing that it is really important to speak about these issues from the perspective of faith and claim their faith."

I can see bitter-enders breaking up into terror cells, but the parallel is imprecise because by 1945, the American people were sick of war. We had crushed the Nazis, and had pounded the Japanese to the point where cutting a deal seemed better than losing a million casualties, hence use The Bombs.
Iran's situation is radically different. We can blockade from a distance, and I think it's (darkly) hilarious that an F-35 *finally* may have caught a million-dollar bullet and this is some sort of "win" for Iran. Sure, Jan.
I'm pretty sure arms are already being delivered to interested parties and as the IRGC is broken down into smaller cells, they will be unable to support each other in the face of local superiority.
A key development will be Trump pivoting to Cuba or even Greenland, waving the laser pointer so that the media forgets Iran and focuses on something else, wrecking the info op.

IIRC that sort of range implies exoatmospheric reentry. Something that's pretty complex. Maybe Russia's helping Iran with crunching those type of numbers?

Towards.... not exactly precision targeting.
Posted by: man at March 21, 2026 09:26 AM (XuXeR)
I don't think most if any Iranian short-to-medium (intermediate) range missiles have mid-course guidance correction capability. I think they are essentially bigger SCUDs which are essentially German V2s in guidance systems. The process is to predetermine launch and target locations, best as you can. Calculate the distance and the needed launch azimuth (direction relative to true north), including Coriolis effect (rotation of the Earth while the missile is in flight). Align the launch platform reference line to true north. Set the missile's relatively simple on-board guidance system to keep the thing aligned with the pre-set azimuth and command engine shut-down time according to the range-to-target.
Launch!
In principle it's not much different than a person throwing a ball from right field to home plate. Both are on a ballistic trajectory. A person's brain computes the angle and velocity to release the ball to get it to the catcher. Shorter the distance, better the accuracy.

The Dems are becoming the meme: "No, I don't believe anything in that book, I think it's nonsense, but if I quote it to you, maybe you will do what I want."
They have such a stunted understanding of religious people that they think it is some sort of herd instinct because that is how they operate. All they have to do is send someone superficially similar to what they think we like, and we will sheepishly fall in line.
But that's been tried in the religious field for 30 years. It worked at first, but the project has completely failed and the new generations see it from a mile a way and are utterly unconvinced by it. These people simply cannot understand why young women are choosing to wear the veil again. No, you won't reach them by appeals to feminism.
The deeper dynamic is that young men are driving the trend and women will inevitably follow. It's just like college. Go where the guys are.

Yup. With such a guidance system, you can program the missile to hit the Israeli Defense Forces HQ, or the control tower at the big US airbase in the UAE, or a specific tanker docked in Kuwait. You'll hit something else 99.995% of the time. Maybe a few hundred yards away, maybe several miles away. There are lots of variables. Wind speed and direction in the upper atmosphere, precision of the missile guidance gyroscope package, actual engine thrust compared to specification thrust, time of actual engine shut-down, and more.

Iran has always been more bluster than actual capability. The “sleeper cell” storyline has been a popular scare story for 85 years now; first it was the fear of Nazi saboteurs in WW2, then it shifted to Soviet sleeper cells during the Cold War; and once they went away the stories became Muslim sleeper cells.
Now in fact there have been agents sent to cause harm, such as Mohammed Atta and his 9/11 crew. So these stories remain alive in the public consciousness; but for the most part they’re just public scaremongering.

And now we have husbands and wives negating each other's political choices out of existence because each is thinking only of their own preferences.
It's an argument with flaws, but I tend to support it. Of course, I also think universal suffrage was an even bigger mistake.

3. Europe. Has lost its way. If they don't find their way back, it's on them. See #1
4. Africa. Benign neglect. See #1
On #1, we have Venezuela, Greenland and soon Cuba
On #2, witness Japan's PM hugging Trump the other day
On #3, see Europe's open hostility to American interests in Iran. Europe has similar interests, but they fear their imported Muslims, which will be the death of them

I'd really like to go for a long drive in the country, but I'm afraid I'd use it as an excuse to go somewhere and get drunk, which is what I have been doing - to my shame - too often lately.

Let's not leave out no-fault divorce, which destroyed marriage. At its core, feminism is Satanic because it desires to maximize 'freedom' and eliminate consequences from one's own poor judgement. Think of the massive growth of government - not just federal, but on the local level.
Family courts, CPS, Friend of the Court, the whole PPO nightmare, all because the core of society, the extended family rooted in community had to be swept away in the name of "freedom."
What is even worse is how completely wasteful an ineffective it all is. Did we eliminate spousal abuse? No, we've increased it. Have we made childhood happier? No, we've eliminated it. Have we made women happier? Hell no. Human are literally dying out. We want to kill babies, castrate children and have the state help us kill ourselves.
What level of fail do we need to achieve?

I give you Robert Goddard, who had seminal ideas about rocketry and then built the damn things.
100 years ago just yesterday he launched the first liquid-fueled rocket on his quest to put rockets into space.
The New York Times wrote an editorial at the time: "Silly rabbit! It won't work in a vacuum!" Not understanding his papers that showed that it would.
You have to call Goddard the Grandfather of Rocketry because he never got proper funding in the US. The Father was Dr Strangleove -- Werner von Braun -- creator of the V2, who wrote a book "I aim for the stars" One review replied "But you mostly hit London."

They loved it. The premise was the real life story of a guy, a known outlaw in the early 1900s that was killed and his corpse became a traveling sideshow attraction. Carnivals, wax museums, parks, up until he was finally buried in 1977. It goes into all the show managers who bought and sold him and fought over getting him in their acts.
I thought it was a neat idea for a show.

This is a season to do grafting, if he has the experience. larger nurseries that focus on that may try him out if he is a newbie at it.
Also, some of the same nurseries also do cloning, and that is real bench-work.d
Don't just apply with nurseries, also try out the companies that do orchards, cherry and apple growers, for example, will change over their trees to varieties they see as being more saleable, and they graft those in the field using chainsaws, heavy knives and hammers,
Right now, here, the filbert growers are pruning their trees.

Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H. Lloyd

We never needed no-fault as a correction for abuse, that's always been grounds for divorce. In my parent's case, in 1948. But we do need a mechanism to allow the correction of mistakes in everything, including marriage, but we also.need negative feedback, which no-fault doesn't provide.
How about spousal support payments, defined legislatively. Her career is more important than her marriage? Buy your way out.

Back when I worked in politics, there was a bill up to make everything default to even split in a no-fault.
The divorce lawyer's lobbyist came to the committee hearing and bluntly stated the following: "in CO, two-thirds of divorces are initiated by women, because the law is so lopsided in their favor. We don't care who the system is rigged to favor, as long as it favors someone, because equitable laws would mean a drastic reduction in divorce. Everyone on this committee should understand that if this bill makes it to the floor, then none of you are getting reelected. We'll make sure of that."

It's still means freedom to me and others who are 2nd generation Americans. That statue was the last symbol of America our fathers saw as they sailed to Europe on troop ships during WW2. My dad was sure he would never see Lady Liberty again. Subsequent generations have become too lazy and brainwashed to defend that freedom. Do the Capital Building.

- Press X to doubt: Microsoft says it is fixing Windows 11. (Nerds.xyz)
Almost everything on the list is reversing changes that they push on users against vehement objections, or side effects of those changes.
I'll believe it when I see it. Or six months after that, really.
Meanwhile the Windows 10 IoT Enterprise Edition still exists (and there's a Windows 11 version that is also less broken than the Home edition, if you need support for recent features like Ethernet-over-Thunderbolt.)
Tech News
- Opera GX is here for Linux. (Nerds.xyz)
This is not the browser you are looking for. Opera is now owned by a group whose primary business is payday loans in Africa. The entire technical team left and launched Vivaldi.
I'm not saying that Opera GX is actively scamming users; I'm just saying that I would not need to borrow Sarah Hoyt's shocked face if that turned out to be the case.
- Blue Origin has filed an application with the FCC to launch 51,600 datacenters into space. (Tom's Hardware)
That seems to be rather a lot.
- Suspicious compliance: The story of Delve. (Substack)
Who will certify the certifiers?
- Trump's AI framework targets state laws, sifts child safety burden to parents. (Tech Crunch)
Well. I had mixed feelings about this: Tenth Amendment notwithstanding, state legislation on complex technical issues is usually bad, but federal legislation on complex technical issues is also usually bad. And in this particular case, the people working and reporting on the complex technical issues are also usually bad.
But if Tech Crunch is against it, I'm sold.
- Another day, another state: Don't-call-it-gambling agency Kalshi is banned in Nevada. (Tech Crunch)
Not that Nevada is against gambling, just that the state demands its cut.

Posted by: JQ
Our two kids (biologically, the missus') are taking care of their biological father, who is afflicted with terminal cancer fueled by him failing to see a doctor for over a decade. He basically spent his retirement years (a decade or so) voluntarily shut in, while playing video games. That, and occasionally teaming up with the son's idiot in-laws to mindlessly parrot leftists' talking points.
Anyway, both kids are taking turns tending to him at his home. Son took a leave of absence from work under the Family Leave Medical Act, through which his wife assured him his workplace will be required that his employer will take him back without let or hindrance. So income stream lessened at his home, the domicile of the two gKids, of whom I speak here fairly often.
The stricken father, now home bound and incapable of moving himself, has become an anchor who will bring down both of his kids futures, because assisted living facilities won't cater to his every need on the spot and they are something with which he and his two kids will not abide. He is being a selfish asshole and his kids will be the victims.

The orchard and farm adjacent to our neighborhood once had a variety of farm animals on view. A horse and pony, a pig, a hutch of rabbits, a peacock, several goats, and a cohort of ducks and chickens. Over the course of two decades that collection, outside of the cohort of ducks and chickens, had dwindled down to the peacock and one goat as of last fall. I'll have to go pay a visit soon to see who is still with us.
It was a great place to take the gKids on our walks when they were younger.

I can empathize with our kids wanting to care for a parent as he is leaving this life. My sister and I did that for our own mother over the course of six months and it was tough as we were not trained for the totality of what care meant. Mom also was ambulatory, by and large.
However, both my sister and I were retired, financially sound and not responsible for anyone other than our selves and our spouses. We were not subject to the judgement of an employer for our continued financial well being. Nor were we afflicted with beliefs that an outside force -- the gubmint -- had matters in hand and would "take care of us", to use that simp in the audience's phrase from the Bush / Clinton / Perot debate at the University of Richmond in 1992.
I do not think that our two children are reading the room well for these times. That is the nub of it.

Salty and Notsothoreau have been cheering the qualities of north central Kansas for a while. Looking at KS houses on Realtor, I find I like the entire look of them better than I did the ones in Indiana and Kentucky. So, maybe there.
I ask little: a nice cottage, 2-3 beds, no fixer-upper, with a bit of a porch and a garage for my car to sleep in. Maybe an eat-in kitchen with a back door out onto a small yard. And neighbors, I hope, who don't drive their cars blasting (c)rap music all the time.

I was going to run along US 54, to Yates Corners -- the junction with US 75. I'll drive up from here to Pine Bluff, AR, for the first night; join I-40 near Little Rock and head west; north on I-49 to Nevada, MO, then left on US 54. A distance/time calculator on the 'Net says each leg should be about 6.5 hours, which probably means 8.

In late '20 I bought four Continentals for the Buick. Only one has survived. I killed one in early '24, hitting a spur-like curb near my work; then two more a month later in a nasty rain-covered pothole at my apartment complex. So the RF Continental and the two Kellys on the rear are only two years old; the LF Conti is five and more.

I mean, what do you want to know? Lots of Catholic apologetics out there. Look up Scott Hahn on youtube and you can see how he went from a rising star in the Reformed movement to staunch Catholic. Taylor Marshall was also a Protestant who converted. I keep seeing this Joshua Charles guy on X who is a bit younger and may relate better.
If things continue to calm down here, I'm planning on being and OCIA sponsor in the fall (that's how people come into the Catholic Church). I'm a convert, and was a sponsor in 2016. I really enjoyed it, but it took up a lot of time and my wife said I couldn't do it until 1) the kids grew up and 2) I was out of the Guard. So now I can!

We should work to provide for the orphaned, the needy, the abused, the aged, the helpless, and the sick. We should speak on behalf of the unborn and contend for the sanctity of all human life from conception to natural death. Every Christian should seek to bring industry, government, and society as a whole under the sway of the principles of righteousness, truth, and brotherly love. In order to promote these ends Christians should be ready to work with all men of good will in any good cause, always being careful to act in the spirit of love without compromising their loyalty to Christ and His truth.

He did earn his Friskies today. I had the door open and the screen door shut, and he was sitting, looking out. Suddenly he stiffened, staring intently upward. I know that look, so I followed his gaze. WASP! I whipped off my slipper and let the little arthropod have it. Then I tossed the corpse out, shut the door, and gave Stirling a handful of kitty treats.
This must be the sixth or seventh wasp he's spotted since his first summer.

As an "experienced" Catholic of 4 days, following a lifetime of being a happy then not thrilled Presbyterian...there's a book that my son recommended by Scott Hahn. He was a conservative Presbyterian minister and theologian who converted, obviously a harder time than I had (altho I don't plan to tell my 95yr old mother, but I won't lie to her, either). Similar thoughts however his were far deeper than mine.
I now have 3 books by him and will order more. Questions were answered.
The book is called Rome Sweet Home.
I hope this helps.

First up is Alex Kapranos, who turns 54 today. He is the lead singer (and songwriter, guitarist, and keyboardist) of Franz Ferdinand, but I decided to look for something other than their well-known hit "Take Me Out," and I found a deep cut with the Moron-friendly name "Wine In The Afternoon." It's a non-album track, just the B-side of the single for "Eleanor Put Your Boots On," and... wow. It's pretty, but dark. I was expecting a light-hearted "Summer Wine," and it's more like "Haha What A Serious Drinking Problem Funny Right":

Don't. Just go, find a pew in the back and take it in. Don't worry about not knowing when to kneel or stand because no one cares. We don't have Inquisitors policing the pews. (Well, maybe the SSPX does, who knows?)

Victor Davis Hanson's book on the Peloponnesian Wars, A War Like No Other was lucid and learned. It explained the war better than I had read in my lifetime.
Highly recommended.

I feel like that in most churches. But the Catholic church Miss Linda and I go to on Christmas Eve every year or so is beautiful, and there is a timeless dignity to the mass. So I follow along, rise, kneel, and sit when everybody else does, and admire the half-size painted figures of the Nativity scene next to us.

Well, you can go up with the other communicants during Mass but simply cross your arms over you chest when you reach the priest. This is the universal sign that you are not receiving Communion and the priest will normally simply bless you and not offer you a host.

There is actually a class you go to, typically once a week that usually starts around September and culminates at Easter where you are fully acctptrd into the Catholic Church.
No Communion dry run, but you learn about the sacraments.

Joe Heshmeyer (Shameless Popery on YT) , Jimmy Akin (Mysterious world and Catholic answers) and Pints with Aquinas (he's now on Daily Wire but everything is also on YT-- the conversion interviews are especially fascinating imo) . Bishop Baron's Word on Fire and everything on Hallow and ascension is also great. Xoxo!!

I discovered I am quite popular with her friends who wanted me to play with them in their class. I sat on the little wooden chair and they yapped. The big haha was that she calls me Nana and they call me Banana and I am fine with this.
Cute kids. When it's time to go the girls hug each other like they will never see each other again. I asked one mother if this is due to being Friday or everyday. Everyday.
One kid, who appears dot Indian, had a strange green booger connecting from one nostril to another like the septum rings of liberal wimmen. So I probably have Delhi Disease now on top of barely getting over RSV (which has taken a toll and I am still not 100%). Otherwise he was cute and laughed because I can't say his name.

No, this is LM's sequel, showing Capt. Call some years later when he has basically retired from "rangering." He is hired by a wealthy businessman to stop a bandit who is holding up the tycoon's railroad cars and killing people without rhyme or reason -- one of LM's serial killers in the Old West.
Dead Man's Walk was chronologically Gus and Call's first adventure as Rangers, as young men. Then came Comanche Moon, which I think was just his teleplay and not a novel first; then Lonesome Dove, and last Streets of Laredo.

You're welcome! My mother was raised Catholic and though she left the Church, we would spend Christmas with her parents and going to Midnight Mass was mandatory. So I just did what everyone else did. Same thing at Easter. After a while I figured it out. Pretty easy to do just do what everyone else does and - I want to make this very clear - NO ONE CARES IF YOU DO NOT GO UP TO RECIEVE COMMUNION.
Really. I sat in the pew while my grandparents and (when they were there) aunts and uncles went up, and not a peep.

Back in a previous millennium, when I was in 9th Grade, a girl friend asked me if I'd go with her to her church, which was (AFAIK) the only Catholic church in town. Sure, why not?
Things were fine until it came to Communion. I was all baptized and confirmed, qualified to partake, in my native (pre-woke) Episcopal church, but I asked my friend whether I should go up and receive communion. She assured me that would be fine.
I went up, I knelt with her, and then, I was obviously doing it wrong (hands out instead of tongue out I later learned), and the priest gave me such a scorching glare! I don't even remember if he gave me a wafer or just waved his hand over me, but I've never forgotten that glare. I just knew I was not Of The Body by his reckoning. Infidel!
My mother-in-law (God bless her sainted soul) was a devout Catholic, so I've been to a Catholic church a few times since, for funerals and Bingo. Was never again tempted to partake of the Communion ritual there.
Also, that girl and I went separate ways.

The dude buys a stetson hat somewhere in Arizona maybe, then finds out it will cost $800 to send it home to the UK, so he goes back to the store and buys some serious looking hat box, almost a flight case looking thing for $90 and now has it strapped on the bike for the rest of the trip. This is the recent one when they hit LA. The comments section is great.

Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton. Another convert and American.
I did not have to attend classes long as I was baptized Presbyterian and most Protestant baptisms under The Trinity are recognized.
The unbaptized are in classes from fall to the Saturday before Easter. I did go to many classes because I liked them and the people I met.
I also discovered one of my many quirks in that I can no longer tell people's ages. Make friends with 20yr olds thinking they are son's ages, etc. Something might be wrong with me but it's too late now!

Part of the reason we are where we are politically is that for almost 100 years the FNM has decided whether to air a politician's dirty laundry solely based on whether or not they currently like that politician and the voters keep failing for it.
Imagine, for example, a world where Bill Clinton gets the Roy Moore treatment in 1992. It might have meant the end of the D party with Perot and his people replacing them whole hog...

........................
Interesting in that I mentioned Scott Hahn today to a friend of our son's at the school deal. He remains in the liberal PCUSA church. He greeted me with a hug as for some reason he likes me and I told him I recently converted and a year ago I would not have considered it.
Mentioned Rome Sweet Home to him as well.
His books are very easy to read and he writes well.
Son's friend either listened and considered, or may not hug me next time. I am far from pushy or know it all, I stated personal feelings.
His daughter is our first grandgirl's best friend. For some reason he seeks me out to talk to and is a kind young man.
I did end our conversation in that everyone simply needs to find what they are looking for in worship. I know he feels like the PCUSA has gone too liberal (and they have, big time).
Find a church where you feel peace and that you've worshipped after church/Mass. I haven't felt that in a long time til the last half year.
Some of this is a mystery to me, yet I know the source.

However, I never attended a Catholic service of any kind except weddings until very recently. In '84 Mrs. W. No. 2's best friend got married in the famous St. Louis Cathedral (her father was a fireman, and had called in some favors). The main thing I recall? Mrs. W. No. 2, who had gone to Catholic school as a girl, going up to one of the fonts, dipping some water, genuflecting briefly, crossing herself, and then murmuring to me, "Don't ever tell my father I did that." (Her father was a notorious agnostic or atheist.)

Well the first time I was in a 3 lane major intersection at the STOP light with a left turn that the next place to pull over was a quarter mile over the bridge.
I was in the middle lane to go straight into downtown (little village) or right on access road to main hiway.
Welp
My body said no fuckn way I am keepin this so I started my flashers and stepped out of truck and proceeded to paint a new strip down the road.
So I am standing in road, grabbing onto to truck door, puking up my asshoe and some says are you alright.
Fuck no I aint alright.

The one with the full choir is very nice, often the second or third Mass on Sunday. Towards Easter some parishes especially cathedrals may have the Solemn Mass with all the rites and singing chanting. Holy water and incense.

The therapyization of our society has been a catastrophe. It has some usefulness but it's been misapplied to remove moral culpability and personal responsibility, as well as create identity groups and social media clout out of mental disorders and just plain bad behavior. Also, unsurprisingly, therapy-speak gets weaponized by dark triad sorts who know how to work that system for their benefit and others' detriment.
Everything turns to shit.

It was night and rainy. I changed lanes, didn't see him. My left rear door rubbed the rim of his right steering tire. Could have pitted me but I pulled away immediately. His lug nuts did a job on my door. No damage to him according to my wife.
We exchanged information and he took off. No police report. I called his office and spoke to his wife next day. It is a two truck company. She said they were not going to make a claim and I said neither was I.
Couple of weeks later my insurance co. called and the truck company is making a claim for some damages and the driver/owner is claiming injury. Fucking injury. My insurance is taking care of it. Been with them 55 years. Told me not to worry, they got this. Still nervous driving, will not drive at night again.

.................................
That's ok, I don't understand completely but as an intercessory prayer. I don't pray TO her as she is not God. I realize this makes no sense and it's ok, but as I view it.
Intercessory prayer is when you pray for someone on earth...so it's extra. You may never meet this person.
I have a very tiny brain and this is how I see it after being Presbyterian all of my life.
As far as asking the saints to pray for something, well, I've asked my Daddy for help at times, so no different, except he's only a saint to me.
Catholics pray to The Trinity.
I memorized over a decade ago an Anglicized prayer of St. Benedict from a prayer card in Westminster Abbey (my 2nd visit to London).I start my evening prayer with this:
O gracious and holy Father
Give us wisdom to perceive you
Diligence to seek you
Patience to wait for you
Eyes to behold you
A heart to meditate on you
And a life to proclaim you through the power of the Spirit of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

He has a 2001 town car. they are known to lose balljoints, like pull out of the socket, lose steering, and then you die. he lost one at 10mph, needed a flatbed for $300 and then fixes it...one side only. Uh, asshole, the other side is as old, not gonna heal itself, are you frigging stupid?? He borrows the ball joint tools, goes through all that, and does 1 side. 2 months later...you guessed it, poof. His plumbing is leaking because he used black pipe on the hot water heater and its rusting. Well, now his health is failing, his moble home is shot, he has no money because he reused to get a job, maxed his cards, etc etc. He sends me 3 doom texts a day.

He had a F250 diesel pickup, pulled a 26' fifth-wheel trailer which he lived in...a real beaten POS that I helped him repair last year. Looked like he'd scraped *many* things on both sides. (all likely hit & run.)
Well, dumbass didn't check things like he should've & one of the wheels came flying off. He couldn't find it, perhaps didn't even notice it missing until stopped at a rest area. Cop patrolling rest area helped him disconnect & called a tow service for him. Too much $ whines bro-- so he abandons the POS trailer, goes to AZ.

As a convert from Lutheranism, it took me a while, but Mary is asked to pray/intercede for us; basically like asking you to pray for me, although (no offense) she might have a little more pull with her Son. (Holy Mary, pray for us sinners...) Of course, prayers also go directly to Jesus.

I'm sure they expend extra fuel incinerating the fetuses. Yes it sounds nasty, but do you think Planned Parenthood murder centers do something better? I doubt it, I'm sure legally the fetuses are considered medical waste. In England they probably dual purpose the medical waste incinerators in some hospitals to run steam heat or something like that.

2 weeks later, late December, BIL decides to go back to abandoned trailer, because he forgot his camera. Drives all the way from PHX to S. Idaho. Trailer still there! He texts me that he will come to my house in a few days. NO!!!! I told him "do not come here" (because I know he will try to mooch a place to live)
He says ok, he will go to Colorado. *shrug* whatever.
Not another peep until someone in CA found his phone in January. Truck "in the middle of the desert" they said. Clothes everywhere, apparently no one around for a while.
I contacted my State Police, wondering if foul play...

State detective told me: Bro was picked up by CHP, hitchhiking, taken to hospital to be checked out. Pickup was stuck in mud, towed and impounded.
BIL says it was dark and he couldn't find his phone or wallet, so started walking after 'getting stuck'. I figure he fell asleep or goofed, ran off-road, knew his license was suspended and didn't want to get arrested (not first offense) so took off.
He stayed with "friends" until destroying their welcome mat & got a bus ticket to my town.

I dunno, Gates of Fire is one of my all-time favorite books (and I had one or two false starts with it). Tides of War was a major struggle for me (I probably started it half a dozen times over a decade before I finally soldiered through it, and that's despite the one part I really like being at the beginning, and rather liking the narrative frame structure). Probably subject matter. The peloponnesian war, Sicily especially, is just freaking BLEAK, man. I had a tough time with Tom Holt's The Walled Orchard too.

Oh, that canard has come around again. Human flesh has a negative BTU value. It takes more BTU's to boil off the water before what remains can burn and give a little heat. Even if fetuses were made out of 100% anthracite coal, which they are not, they are so small that they would not provide enough heat to keep a phone booth warm.
They probably have a heating boiler that does double-duty as an incinerator, because you pretty much have to incinerate "med waste" whether it is a fetus or Granny's gall bladder, because such stuff is an infection hazard. But it costs them in fuel, probably natural gas, to burn it.
I am in no way a supporter of abortion, but the notion that they are gleefully burning babies to keep the shop warm simply does not pass the smell test.

Yeah he is mechanical, but he is a butcher of the highest order. His motto is "I gotta use what I got", and there isn't enough space for me to explain how far he takes that. rust spot on a light green car? No problem, I got a can of shit blue I'll use. Don't go to the autoparts store for some close touch up, nooo, I gotta use what I got. He's building a classic car, a '62 dodge lancer. Its like the 3 stooges are doing it. He butchered every square inch of this car with mods so horrifying I can't explain them. The car originally had 2 headlights on each side. He removed the highbeams, replaced the low beam with a hi/low bulb to free up the space the high beam took up, because he made air intakes to bring air into the motor compartment. On paper, not a bad thing. BUT, its piped with PVC drain pipe, and the the frigging grill caps are from a shower drain. It looks absolutely 3rd world. Shower drain strainers sitting next to the headlights. Every inch of this car has dozens of these "greater ideas".

CBS News announced Friday that CBS News Radio will be shutting down this spring after nearly 100 years of broadcasting. The company cited "challenging economic realities" and a shift in radio programming strategies as reasons behind the decision.
About 700 affiliated stations nationwide carry CBS News Radio programming, which will end on May 22. All jobs on the radio team will be eliminated, the company said.

Revelation 22:18-19: “If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: and if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book”.

You would have a coronary if you saw this car. He rewired the whole car with 4 colors. Red, white, blue, black. No loom, no shrink tube. He used zip ties every 2 inches on the wires in the engine bay....fluorescent green ones. Not black, thats too easy. He didn't label any of the wires, has no clue what they are for. It took him 2 weeks to retrace what he did, and that was months ago, and still didn't label them. He ripped out the original dash gauge cluster, and made a new one from wood, using miss matched brands of gauges, so there is no symmetry. He cut out all the structure behind the rear seat and moved it back a few inches and rebuilt it with angle iron and bolts like a large erector set. The reason? The rear seats need new covers, so lets just lose the seats. Fucking Jay Assrack.

Yes. It arrived this morning. Then I told BIL to pack his stuff while I visited hubby at lunch time (our daily routine).
Then took BIL to phone store, to get his old phone cancelled and move his # to new phone. Got it set up, but could not recover his data or phone logs. (So-- he has no one else to call, to try to mooch.)
I conveniently forgot to give him MY number when checking him in at shelter. He listed me as "emergency contact" so shelter has it, but I instructed them to NOT give it to BIL because I don't want him calling constantly for every little fking thing.

This seems to have ben a very good week:
1. All of the Squad's candidates in IL were spanked in the primary, and left to find jobs;
3. An increasing number of Iranian Government second stringers are being diverted, with extreme prejudice, to unscheduled meetings at AllaYou's Snackbar;
3.The Gayatollah appears to have not survived his pedicure. On the positive side, he'll no longer have to worry about boutiques not having shoes in his size.
I was hoping to see him and his father Flying Ginsu'd.,like Zawahiri. I'm curious did Z disappear in a giant cloud of pink mist, or did he retain consciousness long enough to see his body fall apart like in the cartoons?

“Between March 9-15, 2026, BAFB Security Forces observed multiple waves of 12-15 drones operating over sensitive areas of the installation, including the flight line, with aircraft displaying non-commercial signal characteristics, long-range control links and resistance to jamming,” the document said.
“After reaching multiple points across the installation, the drones dispersed across sensitive locations on the base.”

Today was my first day taking care of the dog Ralphy, 14, who really hurt his leg the night before. I bought him what I thought was his last meal on the way to the vet.
He's on pills the vet assured takes care of the pain. He's still limping but so much better than yesterday. I'm carrying him up and down stairs and outside and inside so it heals nicely.
He's not the lightest thing but it's only a few weeks. That was my day without the Horde.

It's Friday evening, pizza night at Chez Wolfus. Tonight it's a Tony's pepperoni. We had a special deal earlier this week with a fresh-made one from Fresh Market, so why not save a couple bucks on the second? And I like the Tony's pizzas, with their crisp but not thick crust.
"The Enemy Within" is on Trek tonight on Heroes & Icons. I never saw it when it was new, and James Blish had not done it as an adaptation. So when it ran one Saturday afternoon during my high school years, I was riveted. Richard Matheson was a top-flight storyteller, wasn't he?

Padalecki is a good actor, but his strengths are not the same as Chuck displayed. Portraying his Walker as a top-notch investigator would have made the show watchable, maybe even compelling. I wonder if it ever got better -- it ran for four seasons, after all.

But obesity rates are MUCH higher now... especially in kids.
Now part of that is they lowered the standard on obesity... me at 6 ft 225 lbs? I'm Obese Class 1...
But even at 25? yeah, 8% body fat measured by the immersion test... same weight same height back then... was in NFL Linebacker type of shape.

It's possible -- just possible, now, but there has been some research on it -- that the substances the cigarette companies put into the white sticks to keep you addicted are the real danger. The nicotine may be addictive, yes, but it may also have analgesic properties. When I was working, if I got up feeling like I'd been wrestling instead of sleeping, a short pipe smoke would often smooth things out. Still does.
And it may be a coincidence. But I haven't had a single infection like a cold or the coof since 2022, about a year after I took the pipe up again.
Funny how nicotine is so demonized . . . but it's one of the few substances we can take which makes you *more* alert, instead of dulling your senses.

Cigars are bad too. Pipe smoking at least is close to reasonable. One tin of tobacco, 1.25 or 2 oz., is about $15-20 and can last for dozens of bowls. If you smoke one pipe a day, it'll take you a while to burn that $15.
Yeah, the pipes themselves -- new, $65 and up; estate, $35 and up -- are a cash outlay. But then you have them and they last decades. Several I bought in the '80s still look great and smoke the same way.

At least I didn't murder anyone and just cracked the molars. GW1 wasn't good for my BP or stress levels, bit damn was that pipe good. 25% spiced generic, 25% cavendish, 50% generic standard.

Unknown. Generic from the early 80s, sold on post in the AAAFES Px systrm. Very good shape. It lived (during use) in a padded leather tobacco pouch, and still resides there 40 years later.

Posted by: Aetius451AD work phone
My doctor is worse than me on skepticism meter- he joked with me he would get a script for both of us so we could be part of the class action.
Weight loss sucks. Keeping it off sucks. Being as weird as I am about food is obnoxious. I try to make great tasting, healthy meals, but to be honest there are plenty of times where it’s just about the nutrition and nothing else. Those meals are not sexy. Being as weird as I am about working out is also obnoxious. But I will never go back to the size I was. I understand why people would want an easier path, or give up. I certainly had a lot of trials before I realized my entire relationship with food had to change.

Weight loss sucks. Keeping it off sucks. Being as weird as I am about food is obnoxious. I try to make great tasting, healthy meals, but to be honest there are plenty of times where it’s just about the nutrition and nothing else. Those meals are not sexy. Being as weird as I am about working out is also obnoxious. But I will never go back to the size I was. I understand why people would want an easier path, or give up. I certainly had a lot of trials before I realized my entire relationship with food had to change.

Sugar is evil but carbs are the true enemy. Look at proteins with zero carbs. Do you like cheese and crackers? Break the crackers in half so you cut your carbs by half. Lots of low carb options for stuff now.
Also protein and exercise go together. More nuts, more dairy (heavy whipping cream in coffee) make you full.
And fasting. Pick a fast day (I choose Friday because I'm Catholic). Nothing crazy, have a light breakfast and then wait until dinner. Lowers BG and burn calories.

1) I'm a light sleeper. I know my husband does not have apnea.
2) I'm pretty sure that it's not the Ozempic per se that helps apnea, but rather the weight loss, which can be done without Ozempic.
3) I think we pretty much know that Ozempic causes muscle wasting, which I suspect IS NOT GOOD FOR A PERSON'S HEART MUSCLE!

I mean, what do you want to know? Lots of Catholic apologetics out there. Look up Scott Hahn on youtube and you can see how he went from a rising star in the Reformed movement to staunch Catholic. Taylor Marshall was also a Protestant who converted. I keep seeing this Joshua Charles guy on X who is a bit younger and may relate better.
If things continue to calm down here, I'm planning on being and OCIA sponsor in the fall (that's how people come into the Catholic Church). I'm a convert, and was a sponsor in 2016. I really enjoyed it, but it took up a lot of time and my wife said I couldn't do it until 1) the kids grew up and 2) I was out of the Guard. So now I can!

Oh No: Chuck Norris Dead at 86
I saw commenters mentioning that Norris had been hospitalized. I did not bother to put it in the sidebar because I thought about all the Chuck Norris memes and decided, for real, that there was no way Norris wouldn't spin-kick this "medical emergency" in the face.
Chuck Norris is a medical emergency. But alas, Norris has died.Chuck Norris, the martial artist-turned-Hollywood icon whose name became synonymous with toughness both on and off the screen, has died at 86 after a sudden medical emergency, his family confirmed Friday. In a statement shared on social media, Norris' family said he passed away Thursday morning surrounded by loved ones. "While we would like to keep the circumstances private, please know that he was surrounded by his family and was at peace," the statement read. They described him not only as a global figure known for discipline and strength, but as "a devoted husband, a loving father and grandfather... and the heart of our family," emphasizing a life grounded in faith, purpose, and commitment to those closest to him. Best known to millions as the star of "Walker, Texas Ranger," Norris built a decades-long career that bridged martial arts mastery and mainstream entertainment. His work in films like "Delta Force" and his long-running television role turned him into a cultural fixture, while his real-life persona -- rooted in discipline, patriotism, and Christian faith -- resonated with fans well beyond Hollywood. Over time, that image took on a life of its own, fueling the internet-famous "Chuck Norris facts" that turned him into a larger-than-life symbol of American grit. The family noted that Norris had recently been hospitalized following a medical emergency while in Hawaii, a development that had drawn concern from supporters. Though early reports suggested he had stabilized and was in good spirits, his passing came just days later. ... Just days before his death, Norris marked his 86th birthday with a message that now reads as a fitting reflection of the life he led. Sharing a video of himself training outdoors, he wrote, "I don't age. I level up," adding that he was "grateful for another year, good health and the chance to keep doing what I love." He also thanked fans for their decades of support, telling them, "To him, you were not just fans, you were his friends," as his family echoed in their statement.Some true facts about Chuck Norris you might have forgotten:
"Chuck Norris was once bitten by a king cobra; after ten excruciating minutes, the cobra died."Apparently that fact was referenced in Expendables II, when Stallone says that about Chuck Norris' character.
I've only seen a handful of Chuck Norris movies, though I wanted to see more. The one I remember really liking is Silent Rage, where Chuck Norris has to take on a kind of superpowered reanimated corpse. So it's Chuck Norris v. Frankenstein. Or Chuck Norris vs. Michael Myers and all the other invincible 80s horror movie slashers. I remember that, despite how silly that premise sounds, it was pretty decent and plausible. (Well, in the moment, it's plausible.) I tried to find a trailer on YouTube but all I could find was this 100 minute video of the entire film. Any suggestions? I always wanted to see Good Guys Wear Black, just going off the title. I remember Firewalker being something unexpected for a Chuck Norris movie: kinda funny. I think there's a gag where Norris doesn't use guns and it turns out the reason he doesn't use guns is that he is absolutely incompetent with them.
"When Chuck Norris does push-ups, he doesn't push himself up, he pushes the Earth down." "When Chuck Norris goes swimming, he doesn't get wet -- the water gets Chuck Norris." "There was once a street named after Chuck Norris, but the name was changed as nobody crosses Chuck Norris and lives." "Beneath Chuck Norris's beard is another fist." "If you have $5 and Chuck Norris has $5, Chuck Norris has more money than you."

Chuck Norris is the only person to ever successfully divide by zero, and he did it twice.
Chuck Norris once threw a grenade and killed 50 people...then the grenade exploded.

Chuck Norris body slammed Death, and then Death, that pussy, insisted on "best of three".

The father and daughter also managed to forge a relationship, and he proudly stated that Dina's family became a 'blessed part of his life.'
'I am blessed to have her as my daughter,' he said. 'Certainly, I know now that God does not condone premarital or extramarital sexual relationships. But I've also discovered that there is no such thing as an "illegitimate child."

I look forward to spending time with him in heaven and thanking him for his karate studio franchise. (As an 11 year old kid, I 'attained' yellow belt.) It was a great and deeply encouraging environment for insecure boys who didn't know how to handle bullies... until Chuck Norris showed them how!

Chuck Norris was born the day before the Nazis surrendered.
But then someone put a community note of Chuck's actual birth, 10 years earlier, with lines: "Chuck Norris was 10 years old when the Nazis surrendered, easily old enough to defeat the German army."

Relieved to see the blog back.
Chuck Norris was in one of the Expendable films which I liked quite a lot. It is really difficult to find entertainment these days.
Question: Has anyome watched Foundation on AppleTV? Based on the Asimov books. I read the books a long time ago. Watched a couple,of episodes and can't decide if it makes any sense. It seems pretty woke?

As someone whose family tree is well decorated with "illegitimate" and "remarkably rapid gestation period" children (e.g., my own father, and the current Mrs. Krebs), I can assure you that the shame -- if that even is warranted -- is the parents', not the child's. The bottom line is that such parents faced an ordeal without flinching and they passed.
Our own daughter gave birth to a child out of wedlock and placed him in an open adoption. He now is in college.

Sorry about that everyone. There was a networking hiccup that made the server disappear off the internet. Everything was fine once you connected to the server... But you couldn't connect to the server.
For the technically minded, the server lost all it's secondary IP addresses, both public and private, and it kind of needs those.

I check two sources and they both insisted that there was no issue with connection, but might be a regional node. However, when I asked Grok to define the comments of some of the regulars, it stated that those individuals were unknown (which confirmed is wasn't a banning, and it was likely a server issue).
In that process I stumbled across some Breitbert idiot who claimed to have indentified who Ace is....and the summary provided was absolutely hilarious in its ineptitude and falseness. So, I enjoyed the hiatus.

Tonight, (or over the weekend) I will be watching 'Breaker Breaker' (RiffTrax version), where a truck-driving Chuck Norris karate kicks an entire town of thieving hillbillies.
And also reading some old Deadly Hands of Kung-Fu comics. In an ironic twist, the next issue to be read (I'm reading from an omnibus collection) has Chuck Norris on the cover. So I'm sure the comic/magazine will also include a few articles about Chuck's late-70s exploits.

Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana said it was under a shelter-in-place order March 9 after “a report of an unmanned aerial system operating over the installation.”
...
“Between March 9-15, 2026, BAFB Security Forces observed multiple waves of 12-15 drones operating over sensitive areas of the installation, including the flight line, with aircraft displaying non-commercial signal characteristics, long-range control links and resistance to jamming,” the document said.
“After reaching multiple points across the installation, the drones dispersed across sensitive locations on the base.”

Sorry about that everyone. There was a networking hiccup that made the server disappear off the internet. Everything was fine once you connected to the server... But you couldn't connect to the server.
For the technically minded, the server lost all it's secondary IP addresses, both public and private, and it kind of needs those. (Antibumped to not derail the Chuck Norris thread. RIP, Mr Norris.)Comments

THE MORNING RANT - Brand-Damaging Management Strategies: Chipotle, Reese’s, Red Robin
The revenue and product strategies employed by executives at companies in charge of Reese’s Peanut Butter products and Chipotle Mexican Grill have received unfavorable media coverage recently.
The grandson of the inventor of Reese’s Peanut Butter cups accused Hershey of substituting cheaper products in the Reese’s roster of candies. Specifically, Brad Reese alleged that “the company has replaced milk chocolate with compound coatings and peanut butter with peanut butter style crème across multiple Reese's products, a move he alleges has eroded the Reese's brand and jeopardized consumer trust.” Meanwhile, the CEO of Chipotle seemed to say that because its customer base is somewhat affluent, the burrito purveyor is in a position to aggressively increase prices without consumer resistance. “Chipotle CEO wants more customers who make over $100K — which means price hikes are coming” [NY Post – 02/09/2026]“We learned that 60% of our core users are over $100,000 a year in average household income,” he added. “That gives us confidence that we can lean into that group in a more meaningful way, whether it’s the solo occasion and/or group occasions to really drive meaningful transaction performance in the year.Corporate “Kamala-speak” makes my ears hurt. Will ”driving meaningful transaction performance” allow them to be unburdened by what has been. Where do they learn to talk this way? Anyhow, there was significant backlash to Chipotle’s CEO. First though, I want re-visit a subject to which I keep returning - the corporate management practice that is destroying brand equity and driving away customers from too many once-great brands. As I documented in a recent piece titled, “MGM Resorts & Panera Bread Learn that Slashing Headcount, Reducing Quality, and Gouging Customers Is Not a Viable Long-Term Strategy.” A corporation can target its loyal customers for revenue mining and temporarily increase its profits. It can also slash employee headcount and customer service, thereby reducing labor expense to produce a short-term increase in profits. It can even reduce its product size and cheapen the product’s quality to reduce cost of goods sold, also giving a short-term boost to gross profit. But in every case, these actions tell customers that rather than being valued, the corporation sees customers as marks to be exploited. A great many customers may get hoodwinked once, providing the short-term profit boost that was being sought, but then never come back, thus destroying the company’s long-term prospects. A downward spiral of alienated customers, declining revenue, deteriorating facilities, and degraded reputation ensues. Back to Chipotle, “Not the Bee” tweeted this analysis: “People can be mad about this all they want, but every restaurant chain follows the same arc…great quality/great price until they gain success, then slowly lower quality and raise prices until you reach a saturation point. It’s us consumers that have to start rejecting it.”

Red Robin is a case study in how to kill a restaurant chain from the inside out. In 2015, the stock hit $92.90 per share. Revenue peaked in 2017 at $1.4 billion across 573 locations. Families loved the place. Bottomless fries. Birthday parties. “Gourmet” burgers when that word still meant something in casual dining. The brand had real equity. Then management panicked about rising minimum wages and made the single worst decision in the company’s history: they fired all the bussers. January 2018. CEO Steve Carley cut bussers across every location, eliminated expeditors, and replaced kitchen managers with generic “back-of-house” roles. The logic was pure spreadsheet thinking. Labor costs were rising, so remove labor. The savings looked great in quarterly earnings. The second and third order effects were catastrophic. Tables stopped getting cleared. Wait times ballooned. Walkaways increased 85% year over year. 75% of the dine-in traffic loss came during peak hours, the exact window when the restaurant makes money. Ticket times out of the kitchen jumped a full minute on average. Customers who waited 20 minutes for a table and another 20 for a burger stopped coming back. Red Robin’s own CEO at the time, Denny Marie Post, admitted the damage was self-inflicted. And here’s the compounding problem. While Red Robin was gutting its own service model, it simultaneously launched a “Tavern Double” value menu at $6.99 to drive traffic. Orders of the cheap burgers jumped from 9% to 15% of all orders, which cratered the average check. So Red Robin was now serving worse food, slower, in a dirtier restaurant, at a lower price point. That combination is how you enter a death spiral. Meanwhile, 16% of locations were in malls. Mall traffic was already declining. Those locations saw 5.5% sales drops versus 3% at standalone stores, dragging the whole system down. Management acknowledged the problem quarter after quarter and did nothing about it for years. Five CEOs in 10 years. Think about that. The one leader who provided stability, Michael Snyder, was with the chain from 1979 to 2005. After that, it was a revolving door. Every new CEO launched a new turnaround plan. Every plan was abandoned by the next CEO. The North Star plan. The First Choice plan. New menu rollouts. Loyalty program reboots. None of it addressed the core issue: they’d trained an entire generation of customers to think of Red Robin as the place where the service is terrible. The contrast with Chili’s makes the failure even clearer. Kevin Hochman took over Chili’s in 2022 and did the opposite of what Red Robin did. He simplified the menu, invested in operations, launched a $10.99 “3 for Me” deal that went viral on TikTok, and let the food speak for itself. Chili’s just posted 31% same-store sales growth. Red Robin’s comparable revenue was down 1.2% for all of 2024. Both chains were in roughly the same position three years ago. One chain invested in the customer experience. The other spent a decade cutting it. Red Robin’s $65M market cap and Chili’s $3.3B market cap tell you which approach works. The stock went from $92 to $3.61. That’s what happens when you optimize for the quarterly earnings call instead of the customer walking through the door.[buck.throckmorton at protonmail dot com]

I know, back before I retired, I would often ask myself, "Where can I go and get a meal which will provide the highest margin for the restaurant. I really want to use the highest possible percentage of my stored life to buy cheap food expensively."

Did he mean a "higher" price point? IOW, did they make their food more expensive while reducing quality? And wth is the difference between a "price point" and a "price"? If you can't speak in plain English, you're in the wrong business. Try tollbooth attendant.

BTW... One thing I've noticed about Chipotle is that if you're a random customer they will "downsize" your portions (make a small burrito)... but because I'm a regular customer at my local store the staff there recognizes me and they actually make me a very big burrito stuffed to the gills with fillings... so it that sense it pays to be a regular

Take something with a reputation for high quality, lower its quality and its costs, and watch the profits flow in - for a while.

You can only really do higher price increases if you have a captive audience or if you are overcrowded(more customers than you can serve assuming things are run efficiently can indicate charging too low a price relative to quality).
Firing labor without consideration means they don't understand that throughput capacity and quality come from labor.

Did he mean a "higher" price point? IOW, did they make their food more expensive while reducing quality? And wth is the difference between a "price point" and a "price"? If you can't speak in plain English, you're in the wrong business. Try tollbooth attendant.
Posted by: Archimedes at March 20, 2026 11:07 AM (Riz8t)
No, he meant lower. They were serving crappier food for less money. Which meant that not only were people leaving, the ones who DID go back were spending less.

Weird how they always claim to be "inclusive" and cater to the oddball 5%, but then take a perverse pleasure in excluding the normal 95% of their customer base.

At the end of the day, the goal of every CEO is to make money. Someone on the team needs to be bold enough to define risk / reward, and offer solutions that don’t degrade the customer experience They need to remember Chipotle is hospitality, it is not manufacturing. The value proposition is different.
USAA needs to heed this warning, and they need to get in front of their issues with growing their offshore footprint while shrinking in the US. They forgot who their customer base is, and they are allowing rumors to rapidly become truth. It’s a perfect storm for organizing on top of everything else.

We just circle around over the decades, especially in more urbanized areas.
Many cities built high-rise apartments for those of lower incomes many years ago near corner store conveniences. For the most part, they eventually became slums with many razed in the name of safety. "Townhouses" (my "row houses") rebuilt in their place at least once in 25 years, often more often in more years. They, too, became slums in many cities and towns.
Back to the rebuilding of multi-floor apartments & condos. Back to some 'corner stores' in the community (with lots of cellphone outlets, some chain restaurants, fewer occupant owned stores & businesses.).
--
Nothing is really new but for Door Dash and similar contracts used by the "middle." Convenient food delivery, other package deliveries, and so on.
Pricing is ever increasing for all forms of transportation, including gig workers, which are often "migrants" in those communities.
The current concept is leaning to Community Hubs. (See Baltimore and others.) Benevolent Control. The masters' ways of appearing benevolent while controlling the masses. You get the markets - food, housing, health - you deserve.

Not to be the "I won't watch football" guy, but I haven't been into a Chipotle since they got busted for making people sick with shit under the cook's fingernails. I'm not rich enough to afford that.
Also, people I knew couldn't learn to say it. Around here, they still call it "Chi-pultee's." We speak low-class Spanish.

Saw a new ad of theirs recently and liked it. About celebrating a grandpa's birthday by eating with all the family at Cracker Barrel. The ad makers understood the assignment.
The best ad I've seen lately is Burger King, of all franchises! Their CEO openly admitting on camera they screwed up. They heard you about the reduced quality and the creepy king mascot. They've fired the king and returned the crown to you, because at BK the customer rules. Really, really solid messaging!

When expressed in terms of quality or capacity manufacturing and hospitality are not that different at this decision-making level, but oftentimes it's unclear to the C-Suite how labor is impacting capacity(how many customers you can serve) or how it impacts quality.
A restaurant can serve X people when staffed appropriately isn't that different from an Oil Well producing X barrels, but turning the former into comprehensible data is harder.

Of course, I stopped eating that shit for many years, but just a couple ago, I was shocked to see Funny Bones in Wegmans, and I grew excited...so much so that customers reported my behavior to the manager (j/k)...
So Get them them, get home, open them up, take a bite... and what the fuck is this shit I just put in my mouth?
The chocolate coating went from a dark, thin, tasty, and soft dream to a shit-colored hard shell...The chocolate cake that used to be moist and delicious was now dry, crumbly, and tasteless. The thick peanut butter inside was replaced by some foamy stuff.
In retrospect, I'm not surprised. Isn't that the way these things always happen? A product or service starts off great, and then just slowly declines until it dies.

There is a delay but the delay isn't so long that a business can't pivot. Many of these large business deaths are decades-long, and many others initially make bad decisions before reverting.
These bad decisions start with people looking at top-line numbers without understanding what is driving them, and don't get fixed if they never give people in the C-suite who understand what's going on.
There's also the perverse incentive to make changes for the sake of change for career promotion at the middle levels, nobody ever gets credit for keeping a good system running smoothly.

We can make it all numbers to numbers, and a labor analysis is the same equation no matter your business (as is your breakeven). Where you have differences is the customer base and the risk tolerance. Is your customer buying oil going to care if you outsource travel admin functions? Nope. If you are USAA and you do that, will your customers care? USAA is learning this answer is yes.

Three ways to go with this:
1) "Our customers can afford lawyers, so we should probably avoid causing E. Coli outbreaks from here on out."
2) "We can afford to use slightly higher quality ingredients because our customers can afford it."
3) Misreading the numbers because their only remaining customers live in places where $100,000 salary is considered low income.

Take a look at the nutrition files they have online for their menu. It's actually a really nice feature to let you decide what to order if you have food allergies or are restricting things like sodium.
The sodium levels in almost their entire menu are outlandish. We actually used this for a nutrition seminar I participated in. Our instructor was bug eyed at the sodium levels.
I have to watch sodium due to high blood pressure. The only thing I can eat there is the oatmeal or one egg. The rest of it is typically twice to three times what I can eat in one meal.

That's part of what makes translating to numbers difficult. There's important quality attached to some labor that isn't necessarily obvious to the people running things at the top level. Usually helps to have people who have worked their way up from a much lower position otherwise the executives will do this kind of thing without realizing it.

That said, I eat Chipotle the most b/c of value and always having the ability to adapt to my allergies. Red Robin had always done that, but one day, I went in and the "allergy fryer was broken"...the only side I could get with my burger was a salad that was effectively the veg on my burger. Took a while before I went back...and it took a deal to lure me back.
Reese's came out with a plant-based cup...that was really good and pricey. No idea why they'd change the regular cup, b/c they already had a distinguishing pricey cup vs their norm brand for anyone who wanted it.
Chipotle tip - always get a bowl. Skip the 350 calorie tortilla, and load up on what's protein or veg (they always double my veg and beans for me since I do no dairy)...you'll get more that way...

If you're thinking how to price a product, sometimes you think about "price points"
14.99 17.99 19.99 21.99
vs. a price of 20.07 or 20.84.
or maybe for food its under $10 or under $15
So its very close to PRICE but not quite a price. Its a target area.
This can be important if you are planning a product, like food, where you can start with a $12.99 target and maybe get really close and decide to say, lower the fries size in the combo to small to hit the target.

So many service and food industries are suffering from just too few people. McDonalds is mostly self-service now, and those who are working there are doing two or three jobs each. I remember when I would go into a clothing store and two people would jump me asking if I needed help. Now I go into someplace like Macy's or Home Depot and you can't see an employee visible anywhere.

Reuters reported that a total of 16 US aircraft have been downed since the start of the bombing.
10 are drones, designed to go into dangerous situations and were lost in the opening days. 2 were F-15s that were shot down by friendly fire by Kuwait. The rest are accidents of support craft.
No F-35 has been downed.

Jean-François Raffaëlli
Raffaelli painted another very similar painting to this one, Promeneur et son chien (Walker and His Dog). Both can be seen, side-by-side, on Gallery 19 C dot com.
In part, “When one paints the people,” declared Raffäelli, “one must never have pity on their state,...nor should one flatter them or paint them as sublime, as have done certain unphilosophic painters. One should paint them in their place, with kindness and sympathy, while keeping one’s distance,... It is the best way of showing them,..."
Catalogue note
In studying [Raffäelli’s] work astonishment is felt at his variety, his dramatic instinct, his power to catch not only the character of the people in the streets but their movement. He seizes the transient with the accuracy of the camera, but at the same time he gives what no camera ever detects, for he looks into the souls of the people passing and records the struggle, the hope, the despair, the loneliness of their lives (“Jean François Raffäelli,” The Art Interchange, vol. 34, no. 4, April 1, 1895, p. 111).
There's much more on the ^ website.
Like today's painting & would gladly hang it.
Thanks.

Drivers buy gas at one or maybe a couple of gas stations. Even if we could save a penny or two per gallon by buying at another station, we know that some of those savings will be eaten up by driving to the less convenient station. There’s also the matter of the value of our time to find the lowest gas price.
But, when gas prices rise, more drivers shop for the lowest gas price in their area. With gas costs taking a bigger chunk of their income, drivers are motivated to seek any savings they can. The use of gas price apps increases and local news programs regularly report on the locations of the lowest gas prices.
The opposite behavior occurs when gas prices drop. Fewer drivers shop for the lowest price. One reason is they are just happy to see prices fall.
Sellers of gasoline know these behaviors. When oil prices drop, station owners will cut their gas price, but more slowly. Why? Because they know fewer drivers will shop for the lowest price. Instead, drivers will be relieved

I agree. I also think part of that is a lack of domestic manufacturing and an over reliance on imports, especially for critical goods. We allowed our manufacturing base to be destroyed for years in search of better margins mostly through cheap labor. COVID showed what a substantial mistake and liability to our national survival that was.

If memory serves, JIT was developed in Japan where in places where the entire supply chain was closely situated. Worked really well. So the money guys decided to make it global and never considered that the greater the distance, the more countries involved, the more things that can go wrong.

The Morning Report — 3/20/26
To underscore this, I give you this completely unsurprising report . . .
Nearly half of households headed by immigrants, those legally and illegally living in the United States, are on one or more forms of welfare, a Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) analysis of Census Bureau data reveals. . . Meanwhile, just 28 percent of households headed by native-born Americans are on welfare, and just 31 percent are on welfare that includes both tax credits.Interesting that Somalia isn't on that list, but then again, that's not even welfare as such, as opposed to outright naked, dictionary definition criminal fraud on the most massive scale ever seen. Of course the nature of government handouts themselves, regardless of who the recipient is is another story entirely and the nature of charity and who foots the bill. There was a time when being indigent absolutely disqualified you from being granted citizenship. Of course there are several things going on here that collectively have one goal in mind and that is the collapse of American society and its transmogrification into a socialist state based on the inversion/perversion of history and annihilation of our American heritage and indeed Judeo-Christian Western civilization going back millennia. I give you the Cloward-Piven strategy. . .
Countries with the highest welfare-users in the U.S. include Afghanistan, 87 percent, the Dominican Republic, 78 percent, Guatemala, 77 percent, Honduras, 75 percent, and Mexico, 67 percent.
. . . an example of what are commonly called Trojan Horse initiatives — mass movements whose outward purpose seems to be providing material help to the downtrodden, but whose real objective is to draft poor people into service as revolutionary foot soldiers; to mobilize poor people en masse in an effort to overwhelm government agencies with a flood of demands beyond the capacity of those agencies to meet. Cloward and Piven calculated that the flood of demands which they were recommending would break the budget, jam the bureaucratic gears into gridlock, and bring the system crashing down. Fear, turmoil, violence and economic collapse would accompany such a breakdown — providing perfect conditions for fostering radical change. That was the theory.Now you know, as if it was any great mystery, why the Democrats and corporatist RINOs oppose the SAVE Act or any election integrity measures for that matter, as we discussed on the latest episode of the podcast, linked here and in the sidebar as well as on the popular outlets listed at the bottom of the post.
Given all of the above, one of the Left's big heroes from the glory days of the swinging 60's has been exposed as a child rapist.
Cesar Chavez’s birthday is a holiday in six states, there are over a dozen streets that carry his name in California alone, and far more schools across the country are named after a child rapist. And now some of those streets may be renamed and Chavez statues may be coming down.Well, considering Chavez was vocally and virulently anti-illegal immigration, himself often referring to them as "Wetbacks," I'm surprised that the left has yet to airbrush him out of history as a white hispanic a la George Zimmerman. Then again Martin Luther King Jr., who believed in content of character above color of skin has yet to have his statues demolished and MLK Blvds. re-renamed. On that sour note, we have this tragic milestone marking how low we have sank:
. . . a white American 6-year-old was punished for blasphemy against Black Lives Matter (by saying “any life” matters). A six-year-old white girl was punished because she wrote “Black lives mater/any life [sic]” after a lesson about Martin Luther King in March, 2021—because blacks are treated as sacred by American culture, especially in public schools.Here's hoping for saner years to come. Have a great Weekend! And lastly, a quick shout-out and a huge thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

Or, try to remember that some folks are severely immuno-compromised, but still need to eat, so just give them space and feel bad for them...or that some folks are sick, but can't take the day off, so they are trying to keep their snot and saliva to themselves vs surfaces.

In Denver, i used to work at a shop across the alley from some Latino "cultural center" type place where they had one of those hideous murals of him filling an entire wall of it.
Denver is the ancestral home of militant Hispanic fascism, and remains a hotbed for it. They removed that mural under pressure from the MEChA goons, because Chavez hated "the wetbacks" they represent.
This would have been maybe '14-'15. The City also started naming libraries and stuff after Mexican terror bomber Corky Gonzales, who is worshipped by MEChA, and which his Crusade For Justice (and Bombings) helped found.
I'm sure the City has been itching to erase Chavez from public landmarks since at least that time. I bet they're already already pulling down his statues and tearing off the signage at Chavez Park.
The Parks and other services budgets were gutted by the current mayor explicitly to pay for services for the illegals and vagrants (BIRM), but I'm sure they find some change in the cushions to get that done, lol.

The scientists who tout billions of years and those who push that life, even "simple" single cell life, could happen just from some chemicals coming together largely have one of two things in common.
They will only accept a naturalistic explanation for the existence of the universe and life on this planet, or...
They, for whatever reason, want to say God did it but not the way He told us he did it in His Word through the prophet Moses.
On the latter, if you can make the creation account say whatever you want it to say, you can do whatever you want to the rest of His Word also.

And at that point, the Party goes to the candidate and says "sorry but you're screwed, and we need to keep that sweet, sweet Blue Texas donors cash rolling in - here is the blatant unforced error you're going to make, so we have something to blame besides us."

I think it's just evidence that the Democrat Party cannot moderate anymore.
They literally can't do it.
Their donors and their voters won't let them.
So, they have to go increasingly radical because the only people who vote for them or donate to them are those who demand radicalism.
Seriously, it's a hard red state now. No Hispanic is rising up in the ranks demanding closed borders but lots of welfare for only Americans.

Elections are largely run at the local level under state election laws. For more than 20 years, election officials have increasingly relied on mailing ballots to eligible voters. This requires a partnership with the Postal Service to get ballots to voters and back to local election offices in a timely manner.
Question:
If you drop off your ballot on Saturday and central mail is collected on Monday and then it is trucked to the Central office what will be the PostMark date.

The market price of oil and the huge increase in insurance for tanker hulls is partly due to yet another just-in-time delivery supply chain strategy, by not only oil companies but governments. That strategy means there few excess tankers world-wide to move oil and distillates to users and refineries. Every tanker stalled inside the Strait of Hormuz has a consequential supply chain impact.
For example, Australia may be out of diesel in a couple weeks. The nation has very little in-country diesel refining capability. If SE Asia refiners run short on heavy crude from the Gulf States, after supplying their own in-country needs there may be little diesel Australia can buy even if the tankers are available.
As with most nations nowadays, Australia needs diesel to function. For trains, transport and local delivery trucks, farm and ranch equipment, mining activity, an so on. Pressure on Trump to get safely get full and empty tankers past the Strait of Hormuz will only increase.
Regardless, I fully support Trump's effort to get rid of the Islamic Republic of Iran problem, once and for all.

Cute - but having watched it for decades now, I believe it’s because the left lives inside completely sealed ideological bubbles, but they’re used to having handlers and managers in the media who work constantly to hide what they all say and take for granted.
Amongst themselves, they all think it’s “bold and daring” to say that abortion is a sacrament, and that bbq is the province of knuckle dragging barbarians; and they all love anyone who whispers that to them privately. But it’s a rare talent to be able to constantly lie in public about what they actually believe, and luckily Texas hasn’t seen an Obama or a Spanberger make it to the top of the Dem party yet.

That message was from like 4 years ago. His dreams of running for senate weren't even a gleam in his eye yet.
And his campaign put out a picture of him eating a steak or something, because now that the primary is over, he has to appeal to actual Texans, not AWFLs in Austin.
Why didn't Crockett use any of this material against him?
Because it would have just worked to help him in the primary.
The Democrat primary voter is dedicated to social engineering towards vegan secular open borders multiculturalism no matter the cost. And Democrats have to appeal to that to win the primary.

The Italian Democrat Party was even with the right-leaning party in country in the 2000s.
They are now effectively a non-factor in the Italian Parliament. They are the second largest party, but the first and third and right-leaning and coalition together at such a level that the Democrat Party gets ignored.
The Italian Democrat Party still won't moderate on immigration. They're still open borders.
There's something about open borders that rots the brains of politicians.

If there were alien visitors, there would be traces of that in the DNA coding. Supposedly. This is negative information, but more advanced aliens can change a world.
Perhaps the change from a reducing atmosphere to an oxygen one was the result of aliens and infection. Niven wrote a SF short story about that in his Draco Tavern tales.

That's a short term problem, to be honest.
Companies want their tankers out of the gulf. Some are definitely getting through. Other tankers can be redirected after completed business to pick up oil that's bypassing the strait. The tankers that get out probably won't go back into the strait once they unload in India or China or Australia. They'll go somewhere less fraught.
All while American WTI increases productions at profitable levels and acts as a hedge against global rises in prices.

The first major wave of Afghans - many of which were professionals - admitted to the US as lawful permanent residents or granted asylum began after the 1979 Soviet invasion. Family reunification programs then aided many more in their efforts to migrant to the US.
Then following the 2001 U.S.-led invasion, more Afghans came to the U.S., particularly those working as interpreters or professionals with the U.S. military, and that pattern allegedly continued through the Biden administration when Afghan Humanitarian Parole was introduced allowing Afghan nationals outside the U.S. to seek "temporary entry" due to urgent humanitarian reasons.

The Dominican Republic was never in the US TPS program. Dominicans are the 2nd largest Latino group in Philadelphia (thanks, International Airport), with a rapidly growing population that makes them on track to become the city’s largest immigrant group. Many arrive through "chain migration," moving from New York City or directly from the DR to North Philadelphia for affordable housing and business opportunities.

Neither Mexico nor Guatemala has ever been granted Temporary Protected Status (TPS) in the US. However, under the Bracero Program (1942–1964), more than 4.5 million contracts were awarded to Mexican men for agricultural labor, particularly during wartime labor shortages.
Further, Mexican farmworkers continue to make up a major portion of the agricultural workforce, including as H-2A guest workers and in "other capacities."
Guatemalans involved in poultry processing, forestry, and crop harvesting MAY have entered the US via H-2A and H-2B visas. Guatemala is quite reliant on remittances, with nearly 20 percent of its gross domestic product (GDP) as of 2023, sent from "migrants" & others in the US.
In PA, Guatemalan immigrants have formed fast growing communities, with a notable presence in the Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington area & Pittsburgh, and with some getting employed in construction and food service.

Obama signed a presidential proclamation declaring March 31 as Cesar Chavez Day & asked Americans to observe the day with service. The Obama White House also established, 'Champions of Change: Cesar Chavez Legacy' which honored local leaders - the majority of which were women - who exemplify Cesar Chavez’s core values.
And, of course, Cesar Chavez (1927 — 1993) is an inductee into the US Department of Labor, D.C. Hall of Honor. (There's a few dillies in there.)

Yeah, okay.
AI Overview: In January 2025, President Biden signed an executive order to open up federal lands for the construction of gigawatt-scale AI data centers. This initiative directed the Department of Energy (DOE) and Department of Defense (DoD) to identify at least three sites each—totaling at least six facilities—to lease to private companies.
The order aimed to accelerate AI infrastructure development, with companies responsible for construction, operation, and supplying clean energy, while also using U.S.-made semiconductors. (Industrial info. Resources and ENR dot com.)
Data Center Frontier, 'President Biden's Executive Order on AI Data Center Construction: Summary and Commentary'
The new Executive Order apparently isn’t just a directive, but is clearly meant as a roadmap for the U.S. data center industry to lead not just technologically, but also ethically and sustainably, in the AI age. The challenge will be in the plan’s execution across all public and private stakeholders.

Top Story
- Bluesky, one-time social network and latterly psych ward for those who can't cope with the harsh truths dished out daily by CNN and whatever MSNBC is called today has raised $100 million in a new funding round. (Tech Crunch)
That's million with an M. Almost enough to buy -
- Your new car might need 300GB of RAM. (The Register)
Said US memory maker Micron, whose most recent quarterly results showed three times the revenue and nine times the profit of the same period the previous year.
Tech News
- Walmart is flooded with previous generation Nvidia RTX 4000 series graphics cards. (Tom's Hardware)
At reasonable prices, so as you might expect the flood has been mopped up pretty damn quickly.
If you're in Australia and don't have easy access to Walmart, look around for Radeon 9070 XT cards which for some reason are steeply discounted right now, sometimes selling for less than the slower Radeon 9070.
I expected shortages and price increases, and some Nvidia 5000 series cards have all but disappeared from US store shelves, but overall... Not so much.

That page on Daring Fireball uses 0.1% that much bandwidth.

By which I mean they are barking at the moon.

Well, probably. It runs at more than 60 fps at 1080p native using high settings on five year old midrange cards like the 3060 Ti or 6750 XT.

Michael Malice's podcast is titled "Your Welcome".
Every now and then a grammar pedant wanders into the comments and is compelled to correct the title to "You're Welcome" (and aren't I so smart!).
This is all by way of demonstrating that they haven't listened closely to the show. Michael greats the listeners and ends his greeting with "... let that be your welcome." Then, at the close of the show, after his guest answers Michael's question, "What was tour favorite part of today's show?", he responds, "You are welcome!"

This makes a nice soundbite, but is a bit misleading. The computing power was on the ground[.i]. They had two completely identical computer rooms at the mission control building in Houston on two floors (to support simultaneous missions, as well as backup).
As far as onboard computing power, keep in mind they only had one computer. This was one of the first fly-by-wire systems. Modern fly by wire aircraft for example usually have three. So it had to be reliable.

For a while they envisioned the astronauts having to make repairs in flight, the idea was they would carry duplicate spares of all the modules, tools, etc. This didn’t last too long, and they had also decided everything needed to be sealed against moisture, so no repairs possible.
They did some interesting things, they were concerned that (there was only one company making the IC they wanted to use, Fairchild) What if they go out of business halfway through the program? They would buy huge runs of a single IC and used the same component for ground support equipment as well.

Yes, that’s my point. They crunched the numbers on the ground, and read the data & updates to the crews over the radio. They actually had a fair bit of computing power and speed available (for the time) they could bring to bear.
When the Apollo 13 disaster struck, the government basically commandeered much of the nation’s civilian computing power time at myriad colleges and universities.

I'm looking at what uBlock Origin has blocked on YouTube as I pull up a playlist for some morning wake up music, and it's up to 103 requests (the number increases the longer you sit on a page). Ghostery is blocking several hundred API calls & Stats cookies as well.
I assume it's because every thumbnail from every video that YouTube is recommending is attached to some stats request.

I'd think it's obvious.
While some dedicated apps are very useful, the restaurant apps so you can order your food for example, the dedicated news & social media apps are created for one thing; to mine your information continuously, and generally without an ability for the user to block ads or tracking other than changing your settings on the phone manually (which most people don't do).
They make more money through dedicated apps than they do on their websites.

Turned out the laptop was old enough to be due for mandatory replacement.

Apparently feeling safe means you must be surrounded at all time only with people who think juyst like you have all the same pet opinions as you. When a terrorist plows a car into a Jewish precshool we need moe context because he was grieving you see and Jews make him feel “unsafe”. So his violence needs context. Last I checked Sanders has never been violent to anyone. Actual violence is a safety risk not being around people you disagree with politically (who are paying customers at that)! The prejudice and intolerance of this type of treatment where it is dressed up as being bravely virtuous is disgusting. There is nothing virtuous about mistreating customers plain and simple.

AI is asshoe Not long ago, we joked about "if it's on the internet, it's gotta be true". Well, how about, "if it's on the internet, it's probably AI"? Meet Jessica Foster, the Wholesome US Soldier and Donald Trump Fan Who Doesn’t Exist
Jessica Foster joined Instagram in late December of last year, but during that short period of time, she managed to grow her following on the Meta-owned social network to over 1 million. And it’s not hard to see why; she is very beautiful (some might say suspiciously so), she serves in the US Army, and is an avid Donald Trump fan, constantly posting photos alongside the American president. But there is something off about Jessica. Even ignoring her seemingly perfect looks, you can’t help but raise an eyebrow when you see that online searches yield no results about her. Apart from the carefully crafted Instagram account, Jessica Foster doesn’t exist. And that’s because she’s not a real person, but an AI-made avatar designed for a very specific demographic. *** Whoever created Jessica Foster appears to have done so to funnel her gullible followers to OF, where they pay for more raunchy content, messages from her, and tips. Apparently, the account violates the platform’s terms of service, which state that every account must be linked to a verified human being, and all AI-generated content must resemble that specific real person and be tagged with a #AI label.I'm starting to go with the default opinion that every photo or video I see online is AI unless proven otherwise. ----- News for you Deadheads out there Jerry Garcia’s Famed ‘Tiger’ Guitar Bought By Chicago Collector For $11.56 Million

One of Grateful Dead legend Jerry Garcia’s favorite instruments was his trusty, custom-built, wood-grained guitar nicknamed “Tiger.” Now “Tiger” could be coming back to Chicago after local guitar collector Bobby Tseitlin bought it at auction for $11.56 million, which was briefly a record for a guitar sale. (A black Fender Stratocaster used by Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour sold at the same Christie’s auction last week for $14.5 million.) Tseitlin, 44, is co-founder of Family Guitars, a Chicago company that collects historic instruments and is “home to some of the most legendary instruments ever played,” per its website. For the past 20 years, Tseitlin’s passion project has been collecting guitars, he told Rolling Stone. Tseitlin isn’t about to store his famous guitars where no one can see them, though. He lends them out to musicians to play and keep them alive. True to form, Derek Trucks of Tedeschi Trucks Band was on stage at the Beacon Theatre in New York the night after the auction, playing a Garcia tune on Garcia’s beloved guitar. Trucks attended the auction with Tseitlin, launching online hope he would be playing it soon. Fans got their wish.

Some trips are long, some are strange, and some are so good, you can’t help but keep 'em going! After reuniting with the Grateful Dead last year to release Grateful Dead Juicy Pale Ale, we couldn’t resist keeping the journey rolling. This year, we’re beyond excited to collaborate once again on our fifth Dogfish Head x Grateful Dead beer. *** Our collaboration with Grateful Dead stretches back more than a decade, beginning in 2013 with the release of American Beauty and continuing through multiple re‑releases, evolutions and creative experiments over the years. Each chapter has built on the last, fueled by mutual respect, shared values and a belief that art, whether brewed, played or painted, should invite people in. Grateful Dead Citrus Daydream Lager is the latest stop on that journey. This goodness is swimming to shelves nationwide in 6‑pack / 12‑oz cans as we speak ... er, type!, and will be available coast-to-coast beginning Mar. 2026. You can grab both of our Grateful Dead collaborative brews, Juicy Pale Ale and Citrus Daydream Lager, at your favorite local retailer or use our Fish Finder to track them down near you.----- Kewl Photograhy 40 Of The Funniest Wildlife Photos Ever Captured At Exactly The Right Moment
If you’ve ever wondered whether animals have a sense of humor, the Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards might just have the answer. This photography competition celebrates those perfectly timed moments in the animal kingdom when creatures appear surprisingly human. Instead of the usual dramatic wildlife shots, the contest focuses on the lighter side of nature — the awkward, unexpected, and downright hilarious moments animals find themselves in. And honestly, some of these photos look like wildlife accidentally walked into a comedy sketch. So scroll on, enjoy the laughs, and get ready to see wildlife from a whole new — and much funnier — perspective.Check them all out. It's a single page - not a stupid click-through thing. ----- Wholesome content

They still get used on my campus as well.

Jesus H. Christ on a pogo stick, now we’ve got AI slop flooding the comments too?
Used to be you could count on at least 40% of the thread being recognizably human—drunk, angry, spelling like a dyslexic raccoon, sure, but HUMAN. Now half the below-the-fold is just ChatGPT with a thesaurus and a bad attitude, regurgitating the same three talking points in slightly different word salads. “The left is destroying civilization” × 47 with random synonyms swapped in like it’s Mad Libs for midwit bots.
I’m not even mad at the AI, I’m mad at whatever sad little neckbeard is copy-pasting the output and hitting “post” like he just contributed something. Bro, you didn’t. You just gave a silicon-based cargo cult a participation trophy.
Bring back the 2012-era 800-word rants about how Obama is secretly a Marxist Kenyan who golfs too much.

It means all the male teachers have retired, or have been driven out of their jobs by sexual allegations?
There were still plenty of male teachers when I was a student, but I don't personally know a single one today below the college level. I still see male coaches for male sports, so I assume they still exist, but they're rare.
I are an enjuneer, and I bet male schoolteachers are rarer than female engineers.

Sure, "road", "lane", "avenue", etc. have meanings, but when a road can be called a "Fisk Boulevard" even though it is a dead end with two lots on it, it kind of dilutes those old meanings.

Jerry and Doug Irwin, the builder of Jerry's most famous guitars, had a long history. The Wolf was the second Irwin Jerry bought but I believe it was the first custom guitar Irwin built for him from the scratch. It's what really defined Jerry's sound and the Tiger just took it to another level.
He got it in '73. An example from that year in honor of the top pic.

Developers have a plethora of names for dead-end streets: mews, close, circle, place, court, and I am sure there are more. Mesa, uses "place" for through streets located between sequentially-numbered streets. 82nd place lies between 82nd street, and 83rd street.
That's why the dude in the video gets it all wrong. There are no rules; leastwise no consistent rules.

Otter: What's the difference? Ladies and gentlemen, I'll be brief. The issue here is not whether we broke a few rules, or took a few liberties with our female party guests—we did. [winks at Dean Wormer] But you can't hold a whole fraternity responsible for the behavior of a few, sick perverted individuals. For if you do, then shouldn't we blame the whole fraternity system? And if the whole fraternity system is guilty, then isn't this an indictment of our educational institutions in general? I put it to you, Greg: isn't this an indictment of our entire American society? Well, you can do what you want to us, but we're not going to sit here and listen to you badmouth the United States of America. Gentlemen!

I had the same 3rd grade teacher as my dad. She was older than dirt by the time I was in her class and she was awesome.
She carried a yardstick and roamed the room slapping it in her palm while delivering a lesson. And if you got out of line she would give you a gentle tap with it but her look said "Don't test me". If you had a loose tooth she would pull it for you which was just magic.
And she loved baseball. Great lady.

I had one male teacher in elementary school. Sixth grade. Bomber pilot in the 8th Air Force in WWII. Shot down over Germany and spent the last 18 months of the war in a POW camp.
To say that he was unique was to do him a great disservice. To say that he was transformational is to fail to give him sufficient credit.

My 6th grade teacher didn't care. He was an angry old man in a wheelchair that I think didn't really enjoy teaching.
Mr. Grant, my 7th grade teacher cared. He took extra time during class to help me. He and his wife would also help me during basketball games while I attended as part of the pep club. It's because of him and my parents that I finally got the hang of multiplication and division and found I loved wrking out equations.

There was a marketing VP who pissed off someone at headquarters and was exiled to a cubical at our location. He had nothing to do with what we did, he was just sent to our office as punishment. He was a couple of decades older than the rest of the crew in our office, and didn't really fit in. Plus he was a real asshole.
Eventually, after a couple of months, he was pardoned and went back to the main office. Shortly after he left, one of the guys I worked with got a hold of a really nasty gay porno mag, "Leather Lads", or something. I don't want to know where he got it. Anyway, he printed out a mailing label with the asshole VP's headquarters office address, stuck the label on the mag and put it in the outgoing interoffice bin. Apparently it went through the corporate mail-room and got delivered to the guy's office and created quite a stir.

I think one trick with AI/software is to give whatever it outputs rigorous tests.

He was also the only one who helped me when I broke my foot during PE. The gym teacher left me to crawl up the bleachers by myself at the end of class. I then crawled into the hallway outside the classrooms. No one was going to help me off the floor and get to the school office. Someone informed Mr. Grant what was going on and he grabbed his desk chair on wheels, picked me up off the floor and got me down to the school office to call my parents.

I played a few well known guitars in my time. The one I always chuckle at is "greenie", a 1959 les paul which was Gary Moore's guitar that came from peter green and kirk hammet owns now. I knew the dude who got it from gary moore, so he let me play it. It was interesting, a little hammered, but very cool. Another friend who is friends with Bad Company guitarist Mick Ralphs, had acquired his 1960 les paul. I played that through the right amp and played the song bad company and damn near shit my pants. It was the sound, the fucking sound. I played other famous guitars but that one stuck with me the most. I own one guitar that Jake E Lee owned for a little bit, fitting seeing is a metal dude and my favorite replacement for Rhoads after he died. But that Bad Company guitar, damn...

Important step, all right.
Another critical thing about writing software is usability and workflow analysis. Since automating a task with software re-arranges how someone does their work, it matters a lot to learn what the user is trying to do and how best to present information etc. Lower-level parts of software (closer to the machine) are probably good uses of AI, but closer to humans, there is still a lot of important work for a software developer.

The government’s response to the AAP lawsuit and judge Murphey’s injunction is to disband and then recreate a new ACIP committee, as this will take less time than would be required to file and prosecute an appeal.

In the early episodes, there was a scene where Mike dressed down Dani when they went to a house that only had a few replica things. So, that's probably one reason they do it.

I am apparently just as bad. You know those guitar stools they sell all over the place. The ones at GC come with rounded little plastic feet. Leaned over to get a pick and that stool squirted out from under me and I body-slammed a perfectly good Takamine Santa Fe on the pergo floor. Now when I buy a new stool, I buy four crutch tips to go with it.

Agree with that sentiment. It's just that the Liberator pistol program never really accomplished all that much, considering all the money that was spent on it.
I'd recommend getting High Point or Kel-Tec to design and build a cheap double action only revolver chambered for 9 mm. No safety to mess with, just point, pull trigger HARD and shoot.

The problem with 9mm revolvers is extracting the fired cases, since the 9mm doesn't have a rim for a conventional extractor to engage. There are some revolver designs that use fancy mechanisms to extend a finger to catch the case groove during extraction, Charter Arms currently makes one, but they have never caught on.
Federal Ammunition briefly made a 9mm Rimmed cartridge, until people discovered it would fit into weak, antique top-break revolvers, with possibly catastrophic results.

Well, the manual of arms for a DAO revolver is pretty damned simple; if you can load it, you can shoot it. I suggested 9 mm, because I assume the Basij are armed with 9 mm weapons. If some other cartridge is more prevalent in iran, design your "Iran Liberator" for that.
The usage scenario is the same as for the Liberator. Use the cheap gun to ambush some baddies, and take their weapons. If you use a cartridge that is already prevalent in Iran, it raises the possibility of infighting amongst the bad guys. If you use 45 ACP, it's obviously partisans, and reprisals would occur.

No need for anything new.
Primarily civilian 9mm.
A couple of guys at State or DoD could have hoovered up all the 9mms at Bass pro and Academy and bought a couple hundred thousand guns off our civilian market. All via internet.
Or intercepted wholesale shipments.
Arming the locals is easy peasy.

That SOB is going out of his way to create a busted instrument. He KNOWS they're guitars and he's trying to make sure each one gets a bashing without actually taking the guitar out and stepping on the neck.
He either knows the band travelling on the plane and is on a personal vendetta against it, is a failed musician and is taking it out on others because psychological damage, or is simply a rat bastard.
Posted by: AnonyBotymousDrivel at March 20, 2026 01:58 AM (gLikB)
Exactly. Thats why he needs to be thrown into a jet engine intake. You always need to loosen the strings on a guitar when you fly, because there is a shit ton of tension on the headstock with the guitar strings at full tension. Something like 180 pounds. All you need is one good shot and the neck is going to break. You also need a flight case, not the bullshit case the guitar comes in if your shit is going to be handled by a scumbag like that dude. Also a TSA lock, or else those jerkoffs will just break the case open or cut the lock off if its not TSA.

Dog thief returns stolen property. Dogs are confronted with their crimes. Dog tried to steal a stuffed unicorn five times until the store decided it was cheaper to just give him the toy. Dog figures out he's being bamboozled. These Belgian Malinoises are little gang-stars. Especially the ones snapping their teeth like lunatics. Dogs reuniting with service members. These dogs are only guilty of stealing my heart. Dog tries to frame his owner for... murder.

The only good part of the Pearl Harbor movie was the actual bombing. Brought that horrific moment to life in a very intense way. The rest of the movie with the torpid love story was ridiculous.
Would be good to finally do a new Pearl Harbor movie, if anyone has the guts to do one nowadays, to let the current youngins understand the importance of that day.

Others have alluded to it, but "Tora, Tora, Tora" is really good, a joint American-Japanese look at the attack. It was a box office disaster (who wants to watch a movie about Pearl Harbor during Vietnam), but it is a superb film.

It happened for real. They decided the message was too sensitive for the normal clerical staff, so the diplomatic staff took a crack at typing it. Hence, they were late for their meeting to break off negotiations.

could be, they have the incident where the Japanese Ambassador was late turning up with a "declaration of war" but the attack had already started. According to one book the drama of this incident is overdone.

But you have to be wary also since the Japanese did a propaganda movie that covered the Pearl Harbor attack. They used detailed miniatures that even fooled some American military. The guy who did the miniature effects would later go on to do the same thing for Godzilla movies.
John Ford also did a Pearl Harbor movie, which is why you see popping up footage of three SBD Dauntless dive bombers and next a US battleship blowing up.

If you want some (somewhat ahistorical) Spitfire porn, check out "Piece of Cake" a six-episode series based on a somewhat over the top book about how the RAF adapted to war over the first year.
It uses a fake squadron ("Hornet Squadron") and because flying Hurricanes were extinct, they had to use late-model Spitfires. So right away two problems - wrong Spitfires, and Spitfires were never sent to defend France in 1939-40. Churchill held all of them back.
BUT, it's great drama and a very compelling portrait of a *unit* rather than individuals. Indeed, squadrons during that period took high casualties, so watching the unit change over time is very cool. Great cast (of course).

As already noted elsewhere, for a Japanese head of government to physically embrace a foreign head of state is I think unprecedented. After that, Trump could have said whatever he wanted. She has a crushing majority, so it really doesn't matter, and I bet that with China running 24/7 anti-Japanese propaganda slop, showing that Daddy Trump loves Japan probably is being well received.

There is a very good old archaeology show Time Team where they have a weekend to dig at a site and find out all they can, throwing a lot of resources at it. One show they have is the crash of a Spitfire in France in 1940. It did take off in England. It went in nose first and the whole fuselage is packed into a few foot column of stuff.
They find a bit of the pilot's jacket - the chain to hang it up and present it to the man's brother shortly before his own death. The pilot's body had been recovered and buried in 1940.

What was the FBI doing for four years under Biden? Oh right -- they were diverting anti-terrorism assets to try to frame the president of the United States. James Comey subpoenaed in alleged "grand conspiracy" against Trump
Former FBI Director James Comey has been subpoenaed in the wide-ranging "grand conspiracy" case against the ex-officials who investigated and prosecuted President Trump, two sources with knowledge of the situation tell Axios. Why it matters: The investigation has produced more than 130 subpoenas since cranking up last year, the sources say, and targets top officials who worked under former presidents Obama and Biden. The officials, including Comey, have all decried the investigation as political persecution and lawfare. Zoom in: The Trump administration's grand conspiracy theory posits that Democratic officials bent the rules, broke the law and lied under oath to investigate, prosecute and otherwise undermine Trump from his election in 2016 through his federal indictments in 2023. The Comey subpoena, issued last week, relates to his alleged role in the drafting of a January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) concerning Russia's election interference that favored Trump. The assessment referenced the now-widely discredited Steele Dossier, whose inclusion "ran counter to fundamental tradecraft principles and ultimately undermined the credibility of a key judgment," according to a "Tradecraft Review" completed in June under Trump's current CIA director, John Ratcliffe. Ratcliffe then referred Comey and former CIA director John Brennan for prosecution.
C3The Oscars' ratings fell yet again.
@C_3C_3 29m This is when the Deep State messed up... The Mar-a-lago raid by the Biden (Obama) Administration was part of the ongoing Russiagate conspiracy. This opened the door for a grand jury in Florida and not in the safety of DC. Oops!
Variety
@Variety Mar 17 The 98th annual #Oscars ratings hit 17.9M viewers, down 9% from last year and lowest since 2022:
Danielle GillI wonder why. Maybe it has something to do with Hollywood showering awards on the progressive vanity project, the explicitly pro-antifa terrorism One Battle After Another. Which by the way, bombed, ironically enough.
@danielledsouzag 6h The Oscars, which mocked Turning Point USA's Super Bowl halftime show, got lower ratings than the TPUSA halftime show. TPUSA's Halftime Show got 25 million household views. The Oscars got 17.9 million views. The American people are done being lectured by out-of-touch elites.
Ann CoulterCNN whines that they've heard reports that Trump may require banks to verify the citizenship status of customers, to insist in immigration control.
@AnnCoulter Liel Leibovitz in the Free Press: "As a work of art, One Battle After Another is irredeemable. It feels like the sort of thing written by a committee of socialist college sophomores cracking each other up ... "Paul Thomas Anderson seems interested more in purring for his fellow progressives than in making interesting movies ..."
New left-wing/reich-wing darling Joe Kent: Trump bombed Iran because Israel was secretly behind the 2024 assassination attempt and he knows that Bibi will wack him unless he does what Bibi says.

I offered Joe face-to-face and you know it, Joe, don't bullsh*t people. I offered him a briefing on Butler. Did he show up the FBI headquarters to take it? No way. He did not. That's a fact, bro. You are a liar and a bullsh*tter. And you know it. I offered you that briefing and you didn't take it. You have hidden knowledge about something that happened at Butler? He's got hidden knowledge, folks. Amazing. The president, he was shot in the head. in Butler. He was shot in the head. No one spoke out more about the secret service failures in me. My first week on the job, I had the case agent in my office with an entire team, including a former secret service agent, briefing me about Butler. You know something? Spit it out! Grow a pair! Spit it out! You got some hidden knowledge? You see the grift though? Well, we don't know nothing. I know something. Black box, I got it. Watch my podcast. The FBI examined 35 accounts linked to Crooks. I thought we didn't analyze anything. I thought they told me that I thought they said that. Including social media, bank and other online accounts. But we don't know nothing. We don't know nothing about nothing. Amazing by the way, how keep this up. The same people out there, clan of people who were telling you out there that Iran's no threat can constantly tell you or imply at least that Iran was behind this kid produced no evidence. They tell you they know something and then they go but Iran's no threat. You just implied Iran tried to shoot Trump at with through this kid. Which story is it mother? Which story is it? Get your story straight. We don't have any evidence of that. Yes, Iran wants to kill Trump. Yes, this kid is a lunatic. It happens all the time a sadly. John Hinkley, Arthur Bremer, people lose their minds and do stupid stuff. Here's another more from this article. You guys can read it yourself. The home was completely swept, every device was collected and accessed. There were reports out there say we didn't get into certain devices. That's false. That is just made up. Joe would have known that if he would have read the article or just showed up at our office. " He is just Alexander Vindman 2.0. He is a liar and has zero credibility. Take everything he said last night and dump it in the garbage.

In the low-minded, it might be a racial thing, but the actual term they keep using is Zionist. The claim is that the Zionists themselves are Christian, Jewish, and atheist and actually have ill intent for the US, Jews, Christians, AND Israel. They are only using the "Greater Israel" idea to gain control of the Middle East. The overall intent being depopulation and control of the remainder. I think I have the characterization of the idea close to what "they" are saying. In summary, the idea is that it is all about control and de-population, and they don't actually care at all about Jewish people other than "How can we use them?"
That is the substance of what I am hearing. Not my ideas, I really don't think I understand the big picture here, really. About once a decade something happens that upends a lot of how I think the world works

Havocs, Mitchells, and Beaufighters turned eight transports and eight destroyers into wrecks. Rabaul got four of the destroyers back.
Pappy Gun and the NAA rep Fox produced the D-1 modification for the B-25s that saw FOUR .50 cal machine guns mounted in the bombardier glass and a further FOUR .50s mounted on the sides in package guns. The A-20 Havocs got a similar modification.
This air attack saw the use of skip bombing to bounce the bombs into the targets. This was the last large-scale attempt by the Japanese to resupply their forces in New Guines.

What are examples of U.S. media bias in war reporting?
U.S. media bias in war reporting often includes framing conflicts in a way that prioritizes certain perspectives, such as depicting Israeli actions as self-defense while downplaying Palestinian suffering. Additionally, coverage may reflect a double standard, with more attention given to wars in Europe compared to those in poorer regions, leading to a perception that violence is more acceptable elsewhere.
Where the hell did that happen?

They, like the Koreans and everyone else near China, hate China. They formed a tactical alliance to get the French and later US out (though there was some division on that) and then even International Socialist Brotherhood was not enough to have them at each other's throats.
But they are happy to make profit selling each other stuff. It's okay for trading partners to also kinda hate each other.

Much of this innovation came not from designers in factories, but from crews and engineers improvising in remote bases.
Paul “Pappy” Gunn, a former airline mechanic turned combat engineer, became a driving force behind these modifications, turning the bomber into a true gunship.

U.S. media bias in war reporting often includes framing conflicts in a way that prioritizes certain perspectives, such as depicting Israeli actions as self-defense while downplaying Palestinian suffering. Additionally, coverage may reflect a double standard, with more attention given to wars in Europe compared to those in poorer regions, leading to a perception that violence is more acceptable elsewhere.
Where the hell did that happen?
Posted by: Stateless at March 19, 2026 07:15 PM (Sco7b)
You hit some hard coded crap. How would not mentioning wars in "poorer regions" lead to a perception that violence is more acceptable there? That's just nuts.

They also found use of the package guns on the B-25s would cause cracking where the guns were mounted. That is why by the end of the war many Pacific Mitchells had them removed.
Besides a strafer B-25J had eight .50s in the nose, TEN if the top turret gunner locked his turret forward. There is overkill and then there is REAL overkill.
The XB-26K Counter Invader weighs in. It had 8 .50s in the nose and 6 .50s in the wings.

By the time Marcus died at 180 AD, the Republic had been gone for about 225 or more years at a minimum and had been pretty dysfunctional before that. The modern restore the Republic trope in Rome was just a lot of wishcasting. the "Republic" tended to have mystery mobs massacre people they didn't like with mobs.
