Reaching a State of Readiness After Thanksgiving
The roasted masterpiece that emerges proudly on Thursday afternoon will, by Friday morning, become a pale, slightly accusatory presence concealed in Tupperware or aluminum foil—what a food writer in The New York Times once called a “ghoulish reminder” of the day before—carved, dismembered, and waiting to be transformed into something, anything, edible. By Friday, it will be turkey noodle soup. By Saturday, turkey enchiladas. By Sunday, turkey sandwiches. And by Monday, we will swear—once again—that we are done with turkey until next November. But there’s a quiet wisdom buried in all that culinary improvisation. As the late Rabbi Robert Kahn of Houston’s Congregation Emanu El once said: Anyone can cook the turkey. The real creativity, the real art, lies in what we do with the leftovers.Bible stories and intriguing thoughts at the link.
Whenever I think about leftovers—not food, but the leftovers of life—I find myself drawn back to Torah. As Jacob prepares to meet Esau after decades of estrangement, he divides his household, saying in effect: “If one group falls, perhaps a remnant will survive.” Jacob is planning for at least part of his tribe to become, well, leftovers. In the Book of Job, messengers come one after another with catastrophic news, each ending their terrible report with the chilling refrain: “I alone have escaped to tell you.” The last remaining witness. All that is left. This year—as we look toward Thanksgiving—it feels impossible not to hear echoes of Job. Jewish anxiety has become a constant background hum, especially with the ever-increasing antisemitism coming from all sides. The simple act of gathering in joy feels both necessary and fragile. The story of Job is not ancient history. It is the emotional soundtrack beneath our holiday preparations. So, before we even carve the turkey, we must ask: What do we do with what remains? What do we do with the fragments—the leftover hope, the leftover courage, the leftover faith—that we carry into this season? Here is what I know: The Jewish people have become virtuosos of leftovers. . .Have you prepared some leftovers worth keeping? Preparing for the Predictable

Every parent should read @JonHaidt's latest. But note that the kids most resistant to the Devil's brew of smartphones and social media are the ones who are conservative and religious. Secularization paved the way for the descent into despondency that Jon has so ably documented.
So yes, replace the iPhones with books. But also take the kids to church or synagogue.Haidt's piece is behind a paywall. Jonathan Haidt: The Devil's Plan to Ruin the Next Generation
Earlier this year, someone started a viral trend of asking ChatGPT this question: If you were the devil, how would you destroy the next generation, without them even knowing it? Chat’s responses were profound and unsettling: “I wouldn’t come with violence. I’d come with convenience.” “I’d keep them busy. Always distracted.”
“I’d watch their minds rot slowly, sweetly, silently. And the best part is, they’d never know it was me. They’d call it freedom.” As a social psychologist who has been trying since 2015 to figure out what on earth was happening to Gen Z, I was stunned. Why? Because what the AI proposed doing is pretty much what technology seems to be doing to children today. It seemed to be saying: If the devil wanted to destroy a generation, he could just give them all smartphones.The evidence keeps piling up.
Climate change is deepening inequalities — and increasing the risk of gender-based violence for women and girls.

The author completely fails to mention turkey stock - the foundation of many poultry-based dishes for the year to come. Don't throw out all those bones, necks, giblets, etc., reuse them to make something delicious!

I do that. It all depends on whether you want a "white" or "dark" stock. I find that the former lacks all conviction, so I do the latter. Some of the stuff (giblets, neck, etc.) can be done at any time, but obviously the bones from the roast turkey have already been roasted. Still, a bit of time in the oven caramelizes the remaining shreds of meat and there's lots of flavor there (think fond). I don't really know how the collagen in the bones survives the roasting but I do know that after I'm done and the proto-stock has been cooled in the frig overnight, it assumes a gelatin consistency so there's lots of collagen there.

I had a nice B&D electric can opener. You could take it off it's wall mount and place it on a can and it would just spin around opening it. I loved it. But the batteries inside failed after about 20 years and I couldn't figure out how to replace them. So I have a hand crank one now which will last longer than I do. But if they could make the B&D model with better batteries, or a MrFusion inside, I'd buy it in a second.

We have local elections in odd years following presidential elections. There, the left wins decisively every time. Just happened this past election. Complete sweep of every office by the left. Wasn’t even close.
Why? Because turnout in odd years is 1/3 of what it is in presidential years. The right stays home the left shows up. Can’t win a game where you’re not even playing.

I smoked my turkey, and in the drip pan below I placed the bones, skin, and stuff with some veggies. All next to the coals. So you get turkey dripping into it all and being roasted the whole time. I used the dripping for the stock that I made stuffing with. I'm still figuring out how to smoke in the kettle, specifically how to get the temps to stay low and steady.

Since politicians routinely lie to us, I'm fully willing to lie to them and say it isn't their policies that they need to lie about, if they want to maintain power as Republicans, they need to enact election laws that reduce / eliminate fraud.
They can continue to be lying weasels and garden variety reprobates, but try rigging the game in their own favor at least by pretending that their supporters outnumber the enemy's and a win is simply to deny the enemy the ability to manufacture enough ballots to "win" an "election".

He told me that the internet was a powerful technology, and if I thought the TPTB would let it be an engine of liberty then I was in for a nasty surprise, because they would harness its power as an engine of tyranny, and sell it to us as an engine of convenience.

AI infrastructure is driving electricity costs higher:
US industrial electricity prices in the top 5 states with the most data centers have surged +43% over the last 5 years.
These states are Virginia, Texas, California, Illinois, and Ohio.
By comparison, prices have risen +26% nationally over the same period.
Prices in both groups rose at a similar pace up until late 2022, coinciding with the release of ChatGPT in November 2022.
In those 5 states, household electricity costs have increased +7.0% annually since 2022, outpacing the +5.5% national rate.
Consequently, electricity prices in CPI inflation have soared +36% since 2020, while overall inflation has increased +25%.
AI demand is driving household power bills higher.

Here is the bullshit narrative as to the cause:
AI infrastructure is driving electricity costs higher:
The Reality:
Gutting your state/country of much of its reliable, dispatchable thermal generated power and replacing it with vanity power projects that cost hundreds of billions and don't yield power on demand is behind the increase. Don't forget the hundreds of billions in rate-payer subsidies to those who installed solar panels to be used in a net power arrangement.
The money made in the utility scale electricity market is not the regulated generation rates, its in the building any form of infrastructure (even if totally worthless or counter productive) and passing the Hollywood Accounting costs to the consumer in the form of higher rates.

I think it is between 13 and 30 gal bags. I bounce between the two. Right now I am using 13 gals ones and they seem to fill up quick as thought.

The Classical Saturday Coffee Break & Prayer Revival
.png)
Good morning boys and girls and everything in between. Before we enter the Prayer Revival just a few housekeeping matters to go over. (Rulz for those of you in Chetek) 1) This is an open thread. Feel free to lurk, opine and/or bloviate.
2) Be kind, be nice.
3) No, you may not run with sharp objects. Dull ones? Feeling lucky?
4) Have a great weekend!
God grant me the serenity To accept the things I cannot change; Courage to change the things I can; And wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time; Enjoying one moment at a time; Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; Taking, as He did, this sinful world As it is, not as I would have it; Trusting that He will make all things right If I surrender to His Will; So that I may be reasonably happy in this life And supremely happy with Him Forever and ever in the next. Amen.

I think praying for everybody is probably a suitable substitute.
At the very least, we can express gratitude, petition to increase wisdom, safety and faith.
That could keep each of busy for a while.

I've prayed for you all this morning, list or no.
Bless those of you who are fighting serious illnesses, who are seeking employment, who are estranged from their families, who are caring for other family members, who despair, who are defending our nation, and who spread joy and positivity wherever you go.

My father drove up from Detroit and spent time with us on Thanksgiving, eating entirely too much and red-lining his blood sugar, but he called yesterday and said "no worries, back to normal."
It is a blessing to have him still alive and kicking at 83, and we talk just about every other day about things. He's very chatty now, and his lost his old stoic reserve, especially around his great-grandkids. He did doze off in the comfy chair after his meal, which we took for a compliment.

Its like the "shall not be infringed" to the sane and normal person the phrase "to ourselves and our Posterity" seems very clear and concise.

Notice the press and the usual suspects are into the “The afghani terrorist is the real victim here”. That is leftist SOP.
The perpetrators get all the press. Nobody can name the victim that Huey Newton killed. The victims don’t matter. The Narrative is what matters. They would have to admit, hey, maybe the police have a point, maybe we should support the police. That will never do.
They would have to admit they are wrong. And they will never do that. “Your death before their dishonor”
That’s how you get them making these lunatic arguments. Our local rag never mentions the victim but in a cursory manner. Never any photographs, for obvious reasons. Mugshots are also “problematic” too you see.
News stories are basically information free. “Somebody did something. Police are seeking the public’s help.” Fucking clown world.

After Mom died, the family became aware that the Old Man was slipping into dementia (she had been able to hide what was happening to my brother and I). We had to put him in in nursing home simply because he required daily monitoring and care.
We visited him frequently. The Old Man and I became much closer (we were never estranged -- just too much alike: both Type A personalities that were frequently correct, but lacking in tact) after Mom died. I gradually became aware that it was actually a gift from God.

Hungary, and some of the other small states in Central Europe. I think the Czechs decided to loosen firearms laws so that they could be a 'nation in arms' and I think Poland is doing this as well.
Regarding the rest, the game isn't even close to being over. Quite the contrary, it's just getting started. People are finally realizing that the Establishment hates them, really, honestly hates them, wants them dead and replaced by ill-mannered serfs.

The correlation of forces is against them and the imbalance is only getting stronger. The Seditious 6 was a desperation move, pushed out without proper media preparation or a good predicate for the instructions.
Making matters worse, the Dem commentariat can't stop itself from going overboard, so now they are ramping up the language the point of committing overt acts, rather than dancing on the line.

Lived with his wife (described by neighbors as hijab-wearing) and five children, the oldest around 14. Some reports mention two nephews also in the household. He has a brother in the U.S.
Employment
Unemployed at the time of the incident. Sources indicate he was unable to secure work due to an expired employment authorization (work permit), despite prior U.S. collaboration in Afghanistan. Neighbors described him as a "simple and nice guy" who was job-hunting.
Apartment
A sparse, bare unit in a subsidized complex (likely via HUD or refugee assistance programs prioritizing Afghans). No beds—family slept on couch cushions or the floor.

Bat shit crazy, basically. Paranoid. He had a thing that people were trying to poison his food. He trusted his wife, but nobody else's. Also, worried about somebody piping poison gas in the house, so he tended to keep windows open in the dead of winter night...
His wife actually outlived him. But, she had a stroke, and was hospitalized for several months. He starved to death during that time. The coroner listed the cause of death as "malnutrition and inanition caused by personality disturbance".

If you want to read something funny, read about Kurt Godel's citizenship hearing. Einstein and another guy sponsored him. Back then, to get in this country permanently, you needed Albert Fucking Einstein vouching for you.
Anyway, Godel, being batshit crazy, went off ranting to the judge that he found a logical flaw in the US Constitution. Einstein and the other guy did face palms, but the judge was just amused. "Boy, these mathematical geniuses are sure nuts, aren't they".
Godel ranted he would prove that logical flaw, but no record of it exists. When Godel said he could prove something, by George, he usually did.

Sometimes one cannot take the straight path. We see this all the time. Things happen in a particular order. It works that way for people, and also for nations.
The important thing to remember is that God wins in the end. Christ has already won the victory, and we are in the follow-up phase of the war.
I keep reminding people that wars are often at their worst when the decision is no longer in doubt, and the defeated side has nothing but pure anger and despair to fuel them. Sometimes they surrender, but not until all that wrath and pride is burned away.

This is what I am talking about. Let's say that the order is in fact illegal. Okay, so what? Airman Snuffy up in Anchorage has nothing to do with it. Is he supposed to refuse duty until the president does what he wants?
Has anyone made a legal finding? If they do, how do they differentiate this from Obama and Dubya using drones?
It's a desperation move and it leaves them very vulnerable.
One other thing - officers think very differently from enlisted because they have much more freedom of action. An officer in extremis can resign their commission. Enlisted men cannot. They can request separation but may not unilaterally quit. You will sometimes see them "resigning" but they need permission to do that. Even retirement can be blocked (mine was twice).
So these people are NOT speaking to the vast majority of the troops, and examples will be made and the media will ignore them, but the troops will all be talking about it.

Posted by: Skip
Skip, I just read this so maybe you'll see my reply here.
If you can't figure out a way to get to a Standard Definition channel for TCM, they do have an app for SmartTVs/Roku and Tablets/PCs that you can use to watch live or video-on-demand.
It's called "Watch TCM" and is available on the Google Play Store, Apple Store and on the specific app stores on SmartTVs.
https://www.tcm.com/watchtcm
Click on "Link TV Provider" at the top then "View All TV Providers" at the bottom of the pop-up for the full list and see if your provider is on there. If they are, click on it and you login with your same credentials as for your cable/internet provider.
You'll have to do that for each device you install the app on but it will remember your credentials for awhile once you do.
They have live High-Definition East & West feeds on the app in the "Live TV" section, plus you can stream any movies they are playing that day/week/month.

While we're at it, just a reminder that there is no contemporaneous proof that Mohammed ever existed. When the Arab raiders conquered Syria and Persia, they didn't bother to update the coinage until much later, after Islam was actually developed as its own religion. When the conquest started, it was a Christian heresy.

No, it is not. There is a difference between veneration and worship.

There’s some very subtle foreshadowing in that parable that many miss.
“30 “‘No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.’
31 “He said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.’”
V 30 is the rich man’s relatives, and quite clearly means the religious establishment of the day, who are ignoring “Moses and the Prophets.”
Not hard to see who One who rises from the dead is going to be.

There's an interesting new series on Apple TV titled- "Pluribus".
It's from the same guy that did "Breaking Bad"
Slight Spoiler: It starts out as happy fun "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" but is getting progressively darker as the main character learns more.
Very cleverly written as you might expect. Well-acted and directed.
Minimal plot stupidity which would get into major spoilers so I won't discuss them.
Minor downside in that the main character is a lesbian but they honestly have really made much of it and it doesn't really affect things so far.
Well worth giving a view.

Both Saints Nicholas and Athanasius (he was Nicholas's deacon, if I recall correctly) are in my personal litany of the saints. I also selected Athanasius as part of my religious name in the Lay Fraternity of St. Dominic.

With Catholics, this is done at Confirmation, which typically happens at age 12 or so, but can happen at adult confirmations.
The idea is to pick a saint whose virtues and life you want to emulate and be inspired by.
Easy enough as a kid to make a choice, but as a 29+er it actually seems more challenging.
If today, you were asked, what saint or historical figure (if you don't hold with saints) would you pick to be an inspiration for you daily?

Gen-X here (1976). I went the opposite way. Raised Catholic. Stopped going to church when I went to college (college didn't cause it, I would have stopped going earlier had I not been forced to go by parents). Still considered myself Christian through my 20s or so. But over the last 10-15 years or so of numerous life experiences, religion just doesn't make sense to me anymore.
I won't get into the details, since people either have faith and believe or they don't.

Speaking of TLM, I went to one a couple of weeks ago. It was sparsely attended, but the singing and the mass itself were lovely. The biggest downside for me was the church itself. It was very modern and even the stained glass was abstract. It took a lot away from the experience.

Absolutely. It was so nice for about 15+ years after I moved here to Michigan in 1999 when Ohio State was dominating Michigan. I did not have to listen to my insufferable Michigan fan friends talk shit all the time.
From 2001 to 2019, OSU went 17-2 vs UM. Loved it. Even though I am not an OSU alum. Purdue alum. But when UM fans and alums looked down their noses at me since I was a Purdue grad, I became an Ohio State fan out of spite.
After 19 years of dominance, last 4 seasons have sucked.
Back around 2008 or so, I pulled up behind a car decked out in OSU stuff. License plate read "WEOWNUM". Brought a smile to my face.

Late Boomer, myself. I admit to tiring of the Novus Ordo Mass. The only reason I have not left my NO parish is because of Mrs. Cop: she's become very active with the Women's Prayer Group there and (as a Protestant convert) the Tredentine Latin Mass is very foreign to her.
My 15-year-old grandson converted to Catholicism and is very devout. He just came back from the National Catholic Youth Conference. One of his aunts mentioned to Mrs. Cop on how much he has matured.
I noticed that he was wearing his Crucifix and religious medals outside he shirt at the family Thanksgiving. Previously, he would only wear them visible at Mass, and usually wore them under his shirt. I always were my Cross of St. Dominic (symbol of my Lay Faternity) outside my shirt when in public.

This is a simplification but not by much.
The USSR was the first to officially recognize Israeli statehood, as they were big on "self-determination by Moscow" for every developing nation, and the Zionists had socialist tendencies, so it was predicted in Moscow that they'd duly fall into the Party line.
This didn't materialize - over the next 20 years, Israel slowly but surely drifted into the American sphere - this was never forgiven by the Left, and as the USSR shifted toward the Arabs permanently, so did their American useful idiots.

Funny how Russia has now lost all of its influence in the Middle East. Some have criticized how friendly Trump has been with the Saudis, especially with the joint military agreements. But if you wonder what risks he’s guarding against, you need only look at how much gear Egypt has started to buy from China. Pretty advanced stuff, too.

Grok summary:
You're correct. There is no credible historical evidence that George Washington ever converted to Catholicism, either on his deathbed or at any other point in his life.
The story of a supposed deathbed conversion to Catholicism originates from a single, highly dubious source: a 19th-century account published decades after Washington's death by a Catholic priest named Charles Wharton, who claimed that a former slave or servant allegedly witnessed a priest administering last rites to Washington. This story was later embellished in Catholic publications, but it has been thoroughly debunked by historians.
Key facts that refute the claim:

If you can find it online, Rumpole of the Bailey (first a series of books by former barrister John Mortimer then later a BBC series) is a comedy based on the life of a barrister who practices criminal law as a defense counsel.
The book series and the BBC series (before woke productions) are trenchant, politically incorrect, and funny. Books are mostly compilations of short stories of Rumpole representing various clients while navigating his Inn of Court collection of barristers and life with the formidable Hilda Rumpole. TV series authentically brings them to life.

There is a train of thought that the Northern European liberal thought came in part from the need to reconsider the traditional political order in the 1500's against the more egalitarian Indian societies encountered during the Age of Discovery and the political instability of the traditional kingships, however that ignores the Italian states' and the Scandinavian and German states' political history of Things, democracies, Circles, and clan consensus building.

- Don't worry about AI taking your job. I don't worry about AI taking your job, so why should you, asks billionaire CEO Jensen Huang of Nvidia who got rich pushing AI. (Tom's Hardware)
To be fair, he made the right call, making Nvidia the most valuable company in the world, and that is his job. However, he is pushing his staff to use more AI precisely because if it works he won't need them.
I don't believe it will work, but he has to claim to believe it, because that is also his job. So one way or the other, he is lying.
- Ex-Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger says quantum computing will pop the AI bubble. (WCCFTech)
This would spell serious trouble for Nvidia, because if quantum computing is effective, it would erase 90% of their market overnight.
Huang thinks that will take twenty years.
Gelsinger believes it may take as little as two.

- The Ayaneo Next 2 is another of those hand-held gaming devices like the Nintendo Switch or PlayStation Portable, only more so. A whole lot more so. (Liliputing)
It has a 9" OLED display with a resolution of 2400x1504 at 165Hz, which is not drastically more than (for example) the Switch 2's 7.9" 1920x1080 120Hz screen.
But it also has an AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395, the same CPU powering the recent raft of $2000 home AI computers. 16 CPU cores and 40 graphics cores, packed into a handheld.
Price not given but I expect it to be a lot.
- M3 MacBook Air's Front Sharp Edges Were Too Uncomfortable For Its Owner, So He Used A Sandpaper To Smoothen Them Out, Followed By Some Polishing (WCCFTech)
Smoothen?The only drawback to smoothening the sharp edges of the M3 MacBook Air is that the polished area is prone to oxidation, but nothing like a simple wiping job will do the trick.
Smoothen.
- A major AI conference has been flooded with papers "peer-reviewed" by AI. (Nature)
21% of the "peer reviews" were entirely AI-generated, and 50% showed significant AI use.
Of the papers themselves, 1% were entirely AI-generated. 61% were at least mostly human work.
- The latest Soyuz launch to the ISS wrecked the rocket's own launchpad. (Ars Technica)
Crew on the ground failed to secure a 20-ton service platform and it got blasted into the flame trench by the launch and wrecked it.
None of Russia's other launch sites can currently handle the Soyuz craft, which means that SpaceX may have to save the day yet again.

"Minnie The Moocher" is based on an earlier drug song, "Willie The Weeper," which is in the more-or-less folk song collection The American Song Bag by Carl Sandburg. Sandburg was known for songs before he was a poet.

There is a charter high school here focused on the performing arts named for Cab Calloway, which is somewhat odd as he had no familial connection to this area.

I attended a performance of Cab Calloway and his orchestra when I lived in Richmond, VA ('88 to '92).
I can't say that I was aware of his role in our culture when we went to it, but it was a fine performance to have experienced.

There can be very much risk of motor damage due to too small a cord. It's voltage drop. The motor can't get enough voltage to get properly up to speed and torque, and just gets bogged down in a high current, low voltage regime.
In that regime, the efficiency is much lower and there is more heating of the windings. Energy is going to heat rather than mechanical energy.

1) The presence of National Guard troops has objectively reduced violent crime in D.C. so it’s not performative.
2) Even if you disagree with the policy, that is clearly not the reason for yesterday’s attack. Someone committed to carrying out such an attack would have found a target regardless if the national guard was deployed or not. In fact, their presence likely reduced the amount of harm this particular attacker did as others were able to heroically respond almost immediately.

Jacob, who was LTTs networking guru, has a channel called Jakkuh where he does some reviews and network/data builds.

Which made sense... until the powers that be started importing them here.
Ironically, nation building is a four-letter word to some, but that would be better than bringing Muslims and Third Worlders into Western nations.
Imagine instead of spending millions upon millions to accommodate them moving to Western nations, that money was spent to improve the state of the other nations and they stayed there.
But the time for that option has past. These people have shown they hate us and don't deserve any of the blood or treasure from Western nations. They all should be sent back and every Western nation cuts them off until they civilize themselves.

The fix is probably double buffering the dynamic memory and using checksums for integrity or could be a complete system reboot of one flight computer on the fly.
I could be wrong.
I have a long time friend that does flight software and stuff like this is normally baked into the cake. Surprised the developers left this scenario out.
I'll ask him about this specifically but he and I have had long discussions of robustness in high radiation environments.
That is a bit frightening but Airbus has had issues in the past with glitch software when thing are not nominal.

You/we are not.
My point was if there was an A or B choice 24 years ago on how to spend that money, the powers that be chose incorrectly.
And now every sane person in Western civilization realizes that these people hate us and are not worthy of any of our blood or treasure. The answer now is deport and ban. Every single one of them. Period.
Time to go back when the only money sent to these countries was the pennies saved by elementary school children in those little milk carton banks.

Vlad Tepes, the 'original' vampire... was somehow a member of the Pope Sanctioned Order of the Dragon. An order of Knights created by the King of Hungary, Blessed by the Pope, to fight against the Saracen invasion of Europe.

I had always heard that Jefferson was the one to write the Declaration pretty much becaise the committe left the scut work to the nerd. Adams did say Jefferson was a better writer than he was, but he was still the low man on the totem pole and got stuck with chores while the others went out to party. (Okay, Adams didn't exactly party, but he had better things to do than waste his time dipping a quill into an inkwell.)

In the miniseries "John Adams", Jefferson comes off as being mostly a disinterested prick with respect to what the others on the committee thought about his grammar and syntax.

lol on the Christmas towns. I was just up by Donner Pass on our gf yearly vacation. The fact they actually got that far and then some made it over that summit to safety, with basically nothing, is totally mind boggling. I just read a great bio of it by the guy who wrote The Boys in A Boat. It was called The Indifferent Stars Above. Highly recommend. It's not just an extremely well written account from start to finish. He also includes many asides that make their story even more astounding. Things about surviving hypothermia or starvation or logistics of moving a wagon train. These were extremely hearty souls. Fascinating book.

It’s easy to burn out the filaments in a battery set, the filament voltage is only 1.5 volts, the tubes are actually pretty tough but must avoid pulling and re-installing them. A couple of the tubes are getting harder to find, 1L6 oscillator tube and they used a current regulator on the H500
A lot of guys try to lower the filament voltage and go all through these elaborate contortions to try and save the tube life. They won’t work right, however with lowered string voltage, them Zenith engineers was smart. They are designed for rugged use with substandard line voltages.
I rigged up sixty yes, 60 “AA” batteries for the plate voltage and 6 “D” cells for the filaments. Battery power is nice, get away from all that household RFI in the sticks and they really come alive.

I feel the same way as that kid with the raw turkey. BLEAH. I kept waiting for him to harf into the bird.
When we were newlyweds my husband brought home a whole chicken and asked me to carve it. Like I knew how. He later found chicken parts that were pretty strange and wth, like a wing/breast. He never asked me to do that again.
If I can help it I won't even touch raw poultry. He does and I will cook it, but I'm not filled with joy. I will pick it up with either a fork or tongs or something not touching my fingers. Then almost a 3min scrub.
The ONLY time I almost harfed while pregnant was with #1 son. I threw some nasty chicken skin towards the garbage and instead hit a cabinet and our dog ate it. I had to go outside and take deep breaths.
I have some peculiar traits, but being a supermodel he does not mind.

Males are such loud harfers. I have only harfed a few times in my entire life. A couple of stomach viruses in childhood; a norovirus type in college before the bicentennial that I gave to my brothers for our July 4th celebration in Panama City. And once after Indian food. Never to I make the noise men do.
I had Salmonella and never harfed. Passed out cold from mild diarrhea, and so the doc thought I would be fine without an antibiotic. I was not and the only time I felt better from an antibiotic in 8hrs. Cipro was scarce due to the anthrax scare in Florida...our ED had a sign that said, with symptoms, "You probably don't have anthrax but we will see you."
One son had senior night that week (marching band) and escorted me onto the football field. I look like death and by then I had a day of Cipro.
As a RN it is suctioning that grosses me out. This is due to a girl in junior high having an explosion in the cafeteria. One would assume a sinus infection. We all screamed.

Hah! I was trying to figure out a way to power one with 18650 lithium cells. Problem is, filaments take 9 volts, and two cells in series is not enough, and three is too many. Maybe the best answer? Build a switching power supply fed by a 20 volt cordless tool battery, with one output 9 volts DC, and the other 90. Build the switcher into a metal box, and shield all the leads in and out.

January 1st in California was like reverse Christmas when all the new laws/taxes/fees took effect. I think last January was when they applied the 10 cent "deposit" fee for wine bottles. Nickled and dimed for every damn thing.
I never bought a shopping bag. I grabbed a bunch of free tote bags at a Vegas trade show around the time California imposed the first bag fee. I think this new ban also includes the little plastic bags in the produce section. You might want to take a few extra home with you throughout December.

The best harf inducer I've found is overswing yaw with rudder release at a point in the sky where an aircraft, generally highly swept wing aircraft, has low or neutral duchroll with all yaw damping systems set inactive. It's the fastest way to finding if a test crewmember will wash out. Better than roller coaster and negative Gs.
Coupled yaw and roll, horizon is swinging and you are going side to side, three cycles in and everyone knows.

The white policeman with his dog laughed at me when I asked if it was safe to go to Walgreen's two blocks away for saline for my contacts and a gallon of drinking water (I don't drink from taps when I travel, another neurosis). He sneered at my redneck self and said, "Well, it's DAYLIGHT." Like I could not tell. So my husband and I ventured off. Within one minute, and I am not lying, a moose limb ululated out of his cab at me and patched out.Then there were many hookers and druggies we crept through. Asked directions and one kind hooker told us about an alley short cut. I was going to go and my husband asked if I was crazy...NO alley. Walgreen's was an oasis of peace. Then we went back to the hotel by Penn Station and did not make eye contact with anyone. I told him I was not leaving the hotel for the two days we were there unless in a car, which was not much better.
Orlando is not on the list, either. Whoever made this list did not consult me.

That’s a lot of cells! There was a feller making custom batteries for these, Jim Poitivient. They used 6 or 9 “D” cells and a shielded inverter to get both the A and B supply. Worked well. He sent me one for free, I had a website up on the T-Os and mentioned his product. He got a lot of inquiries about them, so I guess word of mouth advertising really is best.
The selenium rectifier is said to be a weak spot, if it works that might be unusual, I don’t know. Of course a modern silicon diode will work fine. A lot of people agonize over dropping resistor values with a diode, the “9 volts” for the filament string isn’t that exact, the problem with trying to tailor it too closely, or lower it, the oscillator section will drop out rendering it deaf. They are good radios, they were expensive back in the day. No FM band on the tube sets, I also like the early brushed aluminium versions. Very cool sets.

Stopped into the Von's in Truckee (just east of Donner Pass) after some x-c skiing, right when the first plastic bag ban/whatever began. They had no paper bags, had run out. So that was stupid.
Next day down near Reno at a Raley's not only did they have paper-or-plastic, but they had self-check lines where you could buy alcohol. I asked a cashier how they managed that, adding that of course miles away in CA it was verboten. She laughed. When alcohol was scanned, a red light lit up, and nearest cashier would look over. If young men/women involved, they'd go over and card them. If other, meh. System worked fine.

Many here probably know that the coffin of Abraham Lincoln (and his wife) are encased in a pretty substantial quantity of concrete in Springfield, IL because several attempts to steal his bones had been thwarted up to that point and authorities decided to put an end to them.

I have not dug into at all. The power cord is crisp; needs replacing. I will probably replace some capacitors, too. Not a lot of hum at all so the filter caps may be good. I assume the 1L6 is good, because it hears stations on 16 meters. Maybe someone did a recap years ago? There is a huge yellow 3-prong grounding plug on the skinny brown two-wire zip cord.

Brands like Nilodor, Big D, or Medafor made similar versions, but to millions of former schoolkids, that exact cloying, fake-cherry-sawdust scent is instantly recognizable as “the puke powder smell.” Even today, if you open a bucket of modern vomit absorbent (like Fresh Products “Vom du Jour” or “Absorb”

Some poor guy, whose space-sickness was so bad they named the scale after him, did not suffer any motion sickness on earth at all. He was a fighter pilot, and did all sorts of maneuvers there with no problem at all. But he got in zero-g, and he was useless.

That's true today, but that will change with time. Integrity and responsibility is cultural and LBJ ultimately destroyed that. But cutting off the dole and having them compete will drive down the cost of entry level jobs. The plumber's helper. the gofer, McDonld's help and the cream - the trainee.
Competition will drive down entry level job cost thus driving down the overall cost of crafts, skills, and trades. We will benefit by less costly bills from these blue collar areas at the same time the culture of sloth will be attrited. It will be a benefit to everyone.

Yup!
We've hired contractors for various jobs here-- concrete floor for the shop, tree removal, etc.
All cost a pretty penny, but all were very hard workers. It was my pleasure to provide cold water & Gatorade-type stuff for them. For the all-day jobs, I'd make Club Sandwiches for lunch and snacks at break times.
One time, half the tree crew showed up early, waiting for the boss & remaining crew-- so I cooked breakfast for them.
I do not mind treating employees *right*-- as long as they reciprocate.

There was also a show, I think on History channel, that excavated Ben's old house in Boston and found a ton of bones buried under it. They don't think he was a secret serial killer. They think he got cadavers delivered to his house to illegally study, and then buried them under his house after.

I should try and hunt it down, but I remember a book/movie called "Ben and Me" where Ben Franklin had a talking mouse friend. I remember it being very charming. It sanitized Ben for the kiddos while not shying away from his flaws.
I vaguely recall that "Ben and Me" was a Disney cartoon.

I did see that, and I liked it. I also read the book by the same name on which the movie is based (by Victor Herman).

I remember watching it but don't remember anything about it.
"Last of the Mohicans" I own, because it rocks. Great film, and the director's cut actually makes it better. Also shorter. (The cut out the gay Clannad music video sequence.)

It matches The Robe for brutality, and seems to be a fairly accurate snapshot of the final chapter for the 6th Army, culminating of course in desperate winter scenes.
Been a long time but seem to recall The Robe was a nice more plausible version of the historical events depicted than the usual fairy tales. Brutal, both nature, and man (including of course the horribly oppressed, dispossessed, and otherwise angelic Huron).

Grab the cane, pull it taught, cut it as far in as you can by hooking it and pulling back to cut it, and then repeat. I might use a small folding saw if the canes get too thick at the base, but I have to cut in to where they are first.
then, once I have the base exposed by cutting all the canes, I use an Ames Razor Back trenching shovel to pop the root ball out. It is never easy.
I have used machetes and hedge trimmers but they are not really controllable. I hate blackberries.
Actually the best tool is a Cat to blade the thicket off, but that is not good in side yards and laurel hedges

I have a tractor attachment very much like that: a heavy back blade with foot-long scarifier tines. Bought the late neighbor's lots, paid to have the trash trees removed, then essayed to root out the forest mat beneath ground level by driving over and over it, pulling out the web of intertwined stump-lumber. I spent the rest of the year at it -- and it was really hard on my back, too. Lots of sudden stops. You don't just need the blade; you need the whole Sherman. I enjoyed the work, though.

What's interesting about ukraine is President Trump didn't tell zelensky, again, to release all the info on biden's corruption in that country.
Remember the "phone call" Hoax?
Trump wanted the dirt on the bidens. zelensky never forked it over.
Why not demand it now? No doubt other Democrats are involved.

Number of Balls=
Volume of Grand Canyon 4.17×10^12m^3 /
Volume of One Ball 0.0034 m
≈1.23×10^15
Conclusion: It would take approximately 1.23 quadrillion ball pit balls to fill the Grand Canyon.

Whenever I see Judgement at Nuremburg, which is whenever it's on, I think to myself 'Col Klink gets what's coming to him' because one of the defendants is Werner Klemperer, who would play Col Klink in Hogans Heros in a few years.
Speaking of Werner's - whatever happened to the person with the Werner nic who used to make lengthy posts?

And is very effective, as is Klemperer. The latter did a *lot* of serious stuff before landing the role of Klink. In fact he, Shatner, and Leonard Nimoy were in one of the best of the early Man From U.N.C.L.E. episodes, "the Project Strigas Affair" -- a kind of proto-Mission: Impossible script. It's on YooToob, I think.

yes, being able to switch into dry gloves seems a best option. Cold and wet is never good, though they say wool (and probably some synthetics) are a decent option. I think I have some thinsolate gloves ... and some thick leather mittens, which are allegedly warmer, somehow.

I had a pair of those knit gloves, neon green, with the dipped rubber palm, but they were double layered and fairly warm.
I thought they were reasonably water resistant, (for my purposes).
Mrs used them as garden gloves all summer, so I need to get another pair (or two, I like your idea).

What They Took From Us Open Thread
There's a fun but bittersweet meme called "What They Took From Us." The idea is that you show something nice that we used to have, which has now disappeared.
I first saw the meme about Pizza Hut's old distinctively-roofed buildings versus the Ikea Construction Company boxes they have now.
So here's a What They Took From Us: Insanely hot girls on TV who are on TV just because they're insanely hot and people like looking at insanely hot girls.

As soon as Caxton invented the printing press we were using it to make pictures of - hey! - naked bottoms. We've turned the Internet into an enormous international database of... naked bottoms. So, you see, the story of male achievement through the ages, feeble though it may have been, has been the story of our struggle to get a better look at your bottoms."

It meant that I could sit down, relax for a bit; maybe even grab a salad to go with my Pizza/ or whatever. It was a fast food joint dressed up like a sit down restaurant. And when you're working on the road, that's known as an oasis from the usual crap food and noisy atmosphere you'd find at the burger depots.
Some idiot in the Pepsi Co (who I assume still owns Pizza Hut) boardroom decided to "be like the other fast food joints" and they lost their identity in the process.

On average, they just about keep up with inflation, once everything is considered and factored in. Unless you're an RE investor (builder, flipper, etc), don't sweat it. Make your home what you want it to be.

I think so too. It's not a Buick; no "portholes" on the fender. Chevy Camaros had different grilles, Oldsmobiles had a more upright stance, and Cadillacs didn't have a sporty coupe.

There was a great line I heard on some video. A guy and a gal were talking about relationships and he was saying so many modern women think a guy wants a fight or battle and to constantly rewin them (what they want really.) And the guy tells her: why do you think a guy would want to fight a war at home for the rest of his life?

My father's '66 Impala Super Sport had factory A/C. Of course that was an upper-level model, and sold in the Sweat Parlor of the American South, so you'd expect it.
His '58 Impala didn't have air. He had an aftermarket unit put in.

My first car (in 1974) was my mom's 1964 Olds Cutlass F-85. It had factory air which had long since quit. In south Florida! My parents had bought it used from some friends of theirs several years earlier but had never seen fit to fix the A/C. Too expensive they said....

That’s the chain that had the road trip messaging system.
In the summer of 1973, Stuckey’s installed computer consoles in each of its 350 locations throughout America. Every one of these consoles had a 10 digit numeric keyboard (0-9) and a small readout screen.
The only thing you had to pay for was the call to Stuckey’s headquarters, so Ma Bell probably wasn’t too excited about the program, as telephone companies lost a lot of money to the HELPS project. But highway traveler’s seemed to really like this new and innovative idea that helped them make every trip a pleasure trip.

Because these corporations hire DEI morons that have NO FUCKING IDEA how the real world works, so literally all they can do is regurgitate the nonsense that their business school 'taught' them, and it all ends up with all the corporations doing the same stupid shit.
They claim they need to 'modernize' to 'appeal to modern audiences', and all they do is take away what makes the brand actually recognizable in the first place.
Stuff like Pizza Hut is so stupid. You have a franchise whose buildings are instantly recognizable. So you're gonna change it to look like every other food franchise because... why?

A race-blind individual identity.
What were the favorite kids' books in The Olde Dayes?
Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel.
Goodbye Moon.
Where the Wild Things Are.
etc.
Well, that's all gone. At Thanksgiving a distant relative showed me a kids' book (on her iPhone) that was her granddaughters' "favorite book."
What was it about?
Racial bullying and identity politics.
The lead character is a young girl who is half Native American and half black. When she is raised by her Indian mother, all the Indians are racist against blacks, and bully her, so she feels bad.
So then she runs away from home to her black father. But then all the blacks bully her because she's half Indian and they're all racist against Indians.
[con't]...
Posted by: zombie at November 28, 2025 06:50 PM (oraVG)
So she runs away again and ends up in a white foster family -- where they're all racist against her for being both black and Indian.
So then she feels like an outcast because everyone is racist against her.
The end.
There is no uplifting resolution -- the end is simply that she feels bad and is bullied because everyone is racist.
Note: This girl is neither black nor Native American.

I'm sure it's her favorite book. "It's your FAVORITE book, dear! I know you LOVE it. I'll read you your FAVORITE book. You would NEVER want to read a book about -- well, we won't talk about those books." [privately enjoys a fond memory of her favorite fairy tale]
Like Elizabeth Barrett "loving" porter. The doctor advised that she drink a tankard of porter every evening because he assumed she loved porter -- doesn't everyone? In reality, she hated it, and she dreaded that daily tankard of porter the way you and I would an icewater shower. (This is not history; it's from The Barretts of Wimpole Street, but same thing.)

1970s Tank Simulator Open Thread
Computers weren't so advanced in the 1970s, so to train tank drivers, they created a miniature battlefield and had the trainees "drive the tank" through the miniature field, viewing it through a small camera that moved across the diorama.

It worked out to about the same price as last year for about twenty pounds less total. So not getting killed by inflation or scarcity or whatever their blaming high beef prices on this week.

At one time the Swiss army operated about 100 ex german hetzer tank destroyers. IIRC they designated them G-100. They have also used various US made and french produced tanks.I have not kept up on what armor they have today if any.
There are limited areas in Schweiss that armor can be effective. Mostly near cities and the french border.

I loved those things. You'd fly a helicopter or land a spaceship on mars or fight with 20s gangsters, and the thing all played out in a glass encased representation of whatever.
Oh, the submarine simulator, where you'd look through the scope and when you fired, a light shone (representing the torpedo) down the case and, if there was a ship at the back of the box, it would sing.

Trump Declares All Biden Autopen Documents Null and Void
I don't know how the courts will handle this.
Trump made the announcement on his Truth Social platform, as he often does. The Friday afternoon post stated, "Any document signed by Sleepy Joe Biden with the Autopen, which was approximately 92% of them, is hereby terminated, and of no further force or effect. The Autopen is not allowed to be used if approval is not specifically given by the President of the United States." It is unclear how significantly this could impact governmental programs and policies, but certainly it will shake up the federal government. Next, Trump went so far as to say that Joe Biden was so totally incompetent mentally and physically that he had nothing whatsoever to do with the autopen scandal and would be lying if he said he did.I suspect they will claim that any document with the claimed signature of the president is presumptively real and therefore lawful, and that any undoing of that presumption must be on a case-by-case basis and by clear and convincing proof.
The president insisted, "The Radical Left Lunatics circling Biden around the beautiful Resolute Desk in the Oval Office took the Presidency away from him. I am hereby cancelling all Executive Orders, and anything else that was not directly signed by Crooked Joe Biden, because the people who operated the Autopen did so illegally. Joe Biden was not involved in the Autopen process and, if he says he was, he will be brought up on charges of perjury. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"

If that's the case, then it is time to flood the zone with all kinds of autopen-signed fake and unlawful bullshit that will be presumed lawful.

Trump voided all of Joey Shitbrain's autopen signatures. Every one of them. So unless everyone affected by any one of these EOs (or pardons or whatever) runs into court seeking a declaratory judgment that Trump couldn't void it -- which is highly unlikely -- then all these people will never know whether the EO is effective to them or not, unless Trump (or someone else) takes action inconsistent with the EO. Then they can sue Trump or whoever. But that could be years down the road. Until then, who knows?
I guess some leftwing ratfuck judge could enjoin Trump's declaration as to all the EOs -- and probably will -- but that probably won't stand. The basis of Trump's voiding the EOs is that Biden didn't sign them, didn't know about them, etc. That would require an individualized, case-by-case inquiry into each EO at issue.
This could be a bigger deal overall than we think.

There may be specific EOs that Trump wants to undo; by making the statement that every pardon and EO that was signed by autopen is null and void, the commies don't have one narrow target to focus on so the key counter EOs Trump wants to issue have more chance to succeed, especially if the commies focus on making sure the pardons for evil gnome Fauci et al are not overturned.

The W administration came to the legal conclusion that autopens were legally valid...and they never did it on government documents.
Considering Trump's propensity for making his signings into spectacles and the central issue of the autopen for Biden, I doubt there's any autopen on any official, authorizing document.

Umm, yea. That's my point. By striking all the EOs down in one shot, anyone affected by any EO is now in limbo as to whether that EO is still effective or not. So they either all have to sue for declaratory judgment, or wait until they are affected by conduct inconsistent with the EO and then challenge it in court.

It is starting. Just today Treasury sent out alerts basically saying we can seize the entire remittance of illegals since it is unlawful for them to be working here. This is real action and will lead to self deportation. The illegals may just move to Canada, but they will leave!

Is this real? It doesn't make sense as it's written. How do you "seize" a remittance? A remittance has already been made and the money is now out of the country. I guess there could be new rules that require proof of citizenship or legal status before making a remittance, or the remittance will be "seized" before it's sent. But I doubt that could be enforced in any real sense.

You seize it at the middleman level. You require all foreign sent money to have a check of someone's citizenship (be in the bank or online service handling it). Anyone who is not gets the money removed and sent to Treasury where it is held until either the citizen can correct the error or it is confirmed illegal.
Remittances are not instant, so there's time to thwart the process...

They need an auto pen rule that says the president has 30 days to re-sign the document in person or it doesn't stand.
No auto-pen signatures within 30 days of leaving office.

That will be their argument for the pardons, which is what most of them care about. As far as the EOs go, Trump can pretty easily (and should) issue one declaring all of Biden's EOs null and void (I suppose some identification of each can be listed for documentary purposes). But it's kind of loose shit to *just* declare this in a tweet or whatever.

And again, they are not instant. Just like your check deposits are held 3 days even though in theory, the money can move in an instant.
Money can be held...and even if you don't stop the very 1st transaction, once an account gets flagged after a transaction, you can prevent any further ones.

There would have no point in causing an upset. None of these people are even remotely convincable. They're all utterly brainwashed Kool-Aid-drinking NPR listeners, so ill-informed that it would take several months just to to get them up to speed on what reality even is, before then trying to change their opinions.
I did try to subtly "turn" a nephew of mine, by neutrally describing to him what a "self-imposed information bubble" is, and that while it may be true that right-wingers refuse to pay attention to liberal news, by the same token he refuses to pay attention to what is discussed in right-wing media. As a result, his opinion may indeed be "correct" and inescapable based on the information he receives, but by the same token a right-winger's opinion is correct and inescapable based on the information that he intakes.
"B-b-but Fox News is full of lies and PBS is true!"
I said -- If you actually look into both sides, you'll see that neither side is "lying," but rather they simply choose to emphasize facts and stories that support their political biases. He agreed.

In theory, sure. But there are already systems in place and SAR requiring reporting potentially illegal wire transfers from illegals, and they do nothing. In order for a system to work even under this new rule, the remittance has to be $2k or more ($1,999 wires fly under the radar), the sending institution has to identify and flag suspicious transfers (I'm skeptical), and the gov't has to immediately react and stop the transfer. Highly unlikely all three of these things will happen.

I'll quip some obvious Based/anti-Woke fact or worldview, just in isolation, and they'll reply, "Wow, that is so counter-intuitive, that it almost makes sense! Hilarious!"

I'm not saying it's not reachable. Of course it is. But an awful lot has to happen before any remittances are stopped in this way. And any remittance under $2k isn't even subject to the process at all. So all Pedro has to do is sent $1,999 and he's in the clear.

Not just at check cashing places.
But more, all of the money orders are financial institutions.
Telling them, "we're seizing that money you collected" while they still have to honor the check is a huge incentive to verify the citizenship of the purchaser.

It's not real "banks" that send the vast majority of these kinds of remittances. Pedro isn't walking into Citibank to count out his filthy cash money to send to some Mexican shithole. Most of these remittances are sent by shadier players will an incentive to look the other way. Hell, their entire business model is based on catering to illegals.
I also think a lot of money is moving around through cashapp-type apps without using remittances at all.

An autopen signature on government documents from the president's office have never been challenged in court, so it's unique and unexplored legal territory.
Things like power of attorney and other authorities to sign in someone else's name could provide some guidance, but I don't think it would actually track that closely.
The president's power is plenary on most of the things he's signing. It's not plenary, assuming he's mentally competent. That qualification isn't in Article II.
I suspect that a pointed challenge on a specific autopen signature that had no documentary backup would lead, eventually, to an overturning of it as invalid.

When the Feds seize your assets, the money becomes the defendant. To get your money back, you become the plaintiff and have to make the case that you should have it back.
Similarly, Trump is saying signing with an autopen does not legitimize the intention. Therefore, the signed item becomes the defendant, and those affected by what was signed are under the obligation to prove its legitimacy.
The case presented in trying the legimize items signed by the autopen may end up crashing the Fed's asset seizure racket.

I've actually tripped lefties up on the abortion issue and made them re-think everything. When the Supreme Court was about to reverse Roe v. Wade, and libs around here were going hysterical about it, I had several conversations along these lines:
Lib: "Women should have bodily autonomy! I don't want right-wingers telling us what to do!"
Me: "Yes, there shouldn't be laws or rulings in which one political side can impose their will the whole nation! That's unfair."
Lib: "Yeah!"
Me: "But that's exactly what Roe v. Wade was - one side imposing their will on the whole nation."
Lib: "B-b-but..."
Me: " And what if some future president uses that precedent to impose an abortion ban nationwide? Nationwide bans are scary."
Lib: "Yes!"
Me: "It's better for each state to decide on their own policy. You wouldn't want some right-wing southerners to have the power to ban abortion in California, would you? Of course not!"
Lib: "Yeah!"
Me: "So let's get rid of Roe v. Wade and no state can ever boss around any other state."

'Just today Treasury sent out alerts basically saying we can seize the entire remittance of illegals since it is unlawful for them to be working here. '
It directs the financial institutions to report all transactions that might be remittances. That implies they'll be going after those institutions that don't.

Here's an HP Omnibook at Walmart with a 16 inch screen, an Intel Core 7 chip, 16 GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD for $479.
https://shorturl.at/emupx
That's not a bad deal for those specs.
If that screen size is too big for you then a 14" or 15" can probably be found that's cheaper.

BREAKING: President Trump has officially terminated every Executive Order and all other documents Joe Biden signed with the autopen:
“Any document signed by Sleepy Joe Biden with the Autopen, which was approximately 92% of them, is hereby terminated, and of no further force or effect. The Autopen is not allowed to be used if approval is not specifically given by the President of the United
States. The Radical Left Lunatics circling Biden around the beautiful Resolute Desk in the Oval Office took the Presidency away from him.”
“I am hereby cancelling all Executive Orders, and anything else that was not directly signed by Crooked Joe Biden, because the people who operated the Autopen did so illegally. Joe Biden was not involved in the Autopen process and, if he says he was, he will be brought up on charges of perjury. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

President Trump says he is throwing out every document Joe Biden signed using an autopen.
This would include pardons for Dr. Anthony Fauci, Gen. Mark Milley, the Biden family, and members of the House January 6 committee.

As I said, that was the short version. The long version not only mentioned pardons it started off by specifically listing pardons and he said 92% of all pardons were signed by autopen.

I'd bet a dollar that that commercial was crafted by the very same pierced bluehaired marketers who hate your guts, as last year's woke commercials were.

I can fully admit Vertigo is a masterpiece.
No argument there. But if I feel like popping in a Hitchcock movie for fun to pass an evening, it's pretty much always Rear Window! Perfect blend of comedy and suspense. Adore that film so much.
I have to be in the right mindset for Vertigo. While Rear Window I can see anytime.

Distant relatives who left Yugoslavia during the 1990's war and bombings managed to land first in Germany. They loved the country but it offered very few visas and little aid. (It also made religious education (Christianity ) mandatory at that time.)
To the U.S. they came and they also love it here but still talk fondly about the wonderful Christmas villages, education, and hospitals of Germany.
They travel back to the old country on some occasion, often stopping in Germany during their travels.
Unfortunately, I've never visited the country and have always related it to the Nuremberg Trials. Once it was a mandatory watch in high school and with my family during the rare times it was shown on TV.

I've been a few times, and there's countries I've always planned to go to I have to realize I may never make it to. Health, life, and finances get in the way. It is what it is.
But a reminder....Europeans and others flock here for our outdoor beauty. There are few countries in the world that can beat us for the scope and depth of our natural landscapes. If you've traveled around America seeing it, you're still incredibly, incredibly blessed.
Also, one of the perks of traveling abroad is just realizing how good we have it at home. Car culture, AC, peanut butter, down home diners, American holidays like the 4th and Halloween...so many things I take for granted as part of my daily life that I realize I'd never want to live without! I am always grateful to get back home after. Anyone who appreciates those things without having to leave the US is way ahead of the game.

I second that. Great casting, direction, and performances.
A small point: I was a cigar smoker when I first saw the movie - something of a connoisseur, as a matter of fact - and when Claude Rains mentioned that he was expecting a delivery of cigars at his tobacconist - "should be about a thousand" - I shook my head in awe and envy.

When you think about the aftermath, Jimmy Stewart's character is obviously going to prison for life for murdering Kim Novak's character, because no one is going to believe that he dressed her up like a woman he was obsessed with, took her to the place where this woman died, and then she just jumped off without him having anything to do with it.
And he'd already admitted that the only witness who could verify his story was the woman he looks like he just killed.

With the money we spend on infrastructure the streets should be made of gold with diamonds as lane markers. Few, if any, want to go into localities, because people are desperate to believe that the United States features a unitary government.

Heh. When one of my kid's college prof tried to scare her into believing that rising sea-levels were impacting the Hampton Roads area, I pointed out that the coastline there was/is, in fact, still sliding into the impact crater left by an ancient asteroid strike at the mouth of the Chesapeake.
She said he was pretty shirty when she brought this up.

The other was a story on how the great pacific garbage patch is so large, animals species are now making it their home.
In both stories, “It’s good to remember…that the ocean makes everything that ends up in it, its own." And it turns from garbage to a protected area. How soon will the garbage patch be declared a protected wildlife area?

I don't disagree with you about the underlying unbelievability of the story, but would Stewart's character have been accused of her murder? Novak's character didn't just jump, she was spooked by a nun who materialized out of the darkness, lost her balance and fell. I would imagine the nun would have been able to confirm that. Of course, Stewart would have been faced with a very awkward situation, explaining everything to the cops who would have been called to investigate the scene.

What is a color revolution?
DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican
Here is the truth, lifted from my manuscript.
They do not like boiling a color revolution down to a sequence for a few reasons among which:
1) The people participating tend to be siloed (civic engagement isn't the same as vote tabulation)
2) They depend on the veneer that color revolutions are totally organic
But this is the 7-step sequence which I reverse-engineered.

Someone blogging about the AI stuff had a very good explanation that seems very accurate.
When you chat with an LLM, and it combines names, dates, and events in a way that there was no source for and is untrue, it is called a hallucination.
When you chat with an LLM, and it combines names, dates, and events in a way that is true... it's still a hallucination. It just got where you wanted. And you accept it as fact.
There's actually not that much difference between the two, except whether you're knowledgeable enough to already know the answer yourself.

An old joke, from a Bennett Cerf collection I can't put my hands on right now:
A DC social worker was traveling through the hills of Appalachia when, passing through a desolate hollow, she saw a slatternly woman on the porch of a ramshackle cabin, breast-feeding a very large child. Stopping to investigate, she asked how old the child was.
"Ten, I reckon," was the laconic answer.
"Ten?" the shocked woman repeated. "Why, that's much too old! You need to wean him immediately!"
"Ah knows I should," the mother answered, "But ever' time ah tries, he flangs big rocks at me."

He starred in a radio program called The lives of Harry Lime after a movie by the same name, I guess. It’s pretty good, the writing was good, he was a good actor, although I dislike the phony baloney “Mid Atlantic” accent he affected. Most actresses in the 30s and 40s had it too. He was from Wisconsin, fer cryin’ out loud.
They have a theme song for that, played on an instrument called a Zither, that is pretty cool. Once or maybe twice.

Did you have friends and / or family over, Ace? Thanksgiving here at Stately Poppins Manor was low-key, but I ended up making much more food than I needed, so there are plenty of leftovers.
One thing I do is what I call 'turkey packets.' You take some premade dough, shape it into a square, then put your leftover turkey, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, corn, gravy and such in the middle, fold it all up into a square, brush butter on top and bake until golden brown.
Sort of a turkey Hot Pocket, if you will.

I shopped for a while at a mall in Virginia right outside DC in the early 1990s, probably where all the Beautiful People shopped for their coffee. They had a HUGE coffee selection at one shop. Very good coffees, all roasted to perfection.
The United States Senate cafeteria serves Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee, or did at one time. I gulped and bought some of that once. It’s quite good, assuming it was the real deal. A million pounds of it are sold every year or whatever, even though only a fraction of that is actually harvested. It’s not a strong flavored coffee, although very clean. It’s the Filet Mignon of Coffee. Tender, but a little lean. Gimme a Porterhouse.

I'd like a report on which brand you bought and if it was any good.
My favorite coffee ever is peaberry, normally coffee beans are twins and in some small percentage the cherrys have only one bean and they're shaped differently and I really liked that coffee but I've only bought one bag. Peaberry coffee is really expensive.
Kona coffee is one of my favorites and King Harv sells it and peaberry beans too.

He did make a point I thought was interesting - that the general failure of Wood was not that he made bad movies (which he did), but rather that the movies he did make were copies of ones he had enjoyed as a child. In that view, while Plan 9 would have been a perfectly acceptable early 1950s schlock SF flick, it's tone was completely out of date by the time it saw release in 1959.

Regarding weather instrumentation, old school is the best school. Stay away from all the shit introduced in the last ten years.
Make sure that the cups and the wind vane are not shadowed. It's surprising how something so simple to understand is ignored.
Ambient WS-5000 and WS-4000 uses a terrible "ultrasonic" rain gauge that has proven to be highly inaccurate.
Davis has traditionally made good stuff.
The interface is what you really need to understand to meet your personal needs.
I'd recommend the Davis Vantage Vue or the Ambient WS-2000.

The BFI Sight and Sound poll in 2012 said that Vertigo was the best ever, after Citizen Kane had topped every poll the magazine had done since 1952 (it's a once a decade survey).
In 2022, it was Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles.
The BFI poll is built by sending out a request to critics to give them a list of Top 10 movies. Critics send back their opinions, and then the BFI takes those results. Mentions on each entry. Most gets top spot, and then down. The top movie never gets mentioned on more than about 25% of all surveys.
So, a single feminist film scholar can completely throw everything in arears by conditioning her students to love some slow feminist movie from 1978.

The U.S. trade deficit narrowed more than expected in August as businesses imported fewer goods against the backdrop of higher tariffs, a trend that if sustained could be a potential tailwind for economic growth in the third quarter.The monthly trade deficit decreased by an impressive 24% in August, injecting about $20 billion into the US economy that otherwise would have been sent overseas.

Aspiration Partners, a Marina del Rey green investing firm, collapsed after executives pleaded guilty to using falsified documents to defraud celebrity investors. The company attracted backers including Leonardo DiCaprio, Drake and Clippers owner Steve Ballmer before filing for bankruptcy in March.Amidst its pure financial fraud, Aspiration was also peddling carbon credits, which people are finally starting to realize is a form of fraud too. While my moral compass would never allow me to participate in a scam against celebrities, I do feel a little schadenfreude when I read that these green crusaders got swindled by con men pushing the climate hoax.
Goldman Sachs Group Inc. took down a portion of a $454 million debt deal from Chicago on Wednesday even after boosting yields on the sales-tax bonds that hold higher ratings than the city. The bank was left with roughly $75 million of unsold bonds issued through the city’s Sales Tax Securitization Corp., according to a Chicago spokesperson.Goldman priced the bonds too cheaply for the risk inherent in issuing bonds on behalf of a failing city, and even when the yield was increased in an attempt to draw in more buyers, Goldman still couldn’t sell all the bonds. As a result, Goldman is stuck with about $75 million dollars in bonds to be repaid by the city of Chicago…if they’re ever actually repaid. Investors seem pretty skeptical, otherwise Goldman wouldn’t have had to eat those unmarketable bonds. Chicago’s financial default seems inevitable, as it keeps raising taxes while running off its productive, tax-paying citizens. Investors know what time it is. Goldman just figured it out.

A fire broke out aboard the 8,212 teu ONE Henry Hudson while docked at Yusen Container Terminal in the Port of Los Angeles late Friday evening. The incident prompted a major emergency response involving nearly 200 firefighting personnel and sparked a shelter-in-place order for nearby communities.Predictably, it turns out that the ship’s cargo included containers carrying lithium batteries. “Ship fire contained but remains under close watch at Port of Los Angeles” [LA Daily News – 11/25/2025]
The contents were described as general cargo, but [Coast Guard Lt. Cmdr Mark] Leahey did confirm that shipments of lithium batteries were included.The ship has been hauled out to sea where it remains under close watch “to ensure there are no re-flashes.” For now, this incident is being referred to as an “electrical fire.” I’ve done a little digging, and as best I can tell, this “electrical fire” is only the second incident ever at the Port of LA that required neighboring residents to shelter in place. The previous occurrence was in 2018, due to a chemical spill. Fortunately, the crew was safely evacuated because the ship was in port, but these ship-borne fires involving EVs and lithium batteries are becoming dangerously common. [h/t to Mr. CBD for sending me this story.]

Something that should he taught in schools, or maybe on the news, or press conferences, whatever, the economic follow on effects are WAY more than 800 jobs. It’s practically unbelievable.
Why? Because every business like this uses raw materials. Construction and remodeling of factories, the roads, the trucks that haul materials, the people who build the tires that go on the trucks that haul materials. Bearings to go on those wheels, that spin the tires on the trucks, that haul those supplies. Mechanics to maintain those trucks. Drivers to operate them. Dispatchers. Hell, things start looking up for janitors. Can go all day with this. Iron ore from the Mesabi range, pulpwood from Georgia. Crazy cat ladies from Massachusetts for HR.

Funded by $42 million from the federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), it provided no-strings-attached monthly payments of $500 to 3,250 low-income households (selected via lottery) from December 2022 through December 2024, with final payments in January 2025.

Permanent Version: The new funding will support ongoing payments targeted at working families facing affordability challenges, though specifics on eligibility, payment amounts, and scale (e.g., number of recipients) are still being finalized by the advisory committee. It's positioned as a response to federal pullbacks on social supports, emphasizing local leadership in addressing basic needs like housing and food.

Henry Petroski, now deceased, used to write the Engineering column for American Scientist, the bimonthly magazine of Sigma Xi.
He published "The Pencil: A History of Design and Circumstance" in 1992. It is in my stack of books that I intend to read.
Henry Petroski traces the origins of the pencil back to ancient Greece and Rome, writes factually and charmingly about its development over the centuries and around the world, and shows what the pencil can teach us about engineering and technology today.

I’m Not saying debt is t a problem. It certainly is.
But headlines like this taken out of context are meaningless. Is this the highest ever in nominal or real dollars? What about as a percent of gdp? Was there some quirk in this month that caused it? Lots of factors go into it. And usually for economic data monthly can have short term noise that is smoothed out over the long term.
It’s like saying such and such movie broke a box office record this year. OK but it’s still 30% lower than some movie from the 1980s if adjusted for inflation.

On my recently completed Viking cruise to Turkey and Greece, Viking, unbidden, bumped us up from a penthouse suite to an explorer's suite, which is a yuuuuge increase in space, luxury, and view. We wondered why they did it.
Now we're discussing further trips, and the start of every conversation is whether we can get an explorer's suite. I think they knew exactly what they were doing.

Similar situation with the auto industry. Big3 employees have had benefits of getting special discounts on vehicles not only for themselves, but for friends and family each year.
Now, what happens when you push out thousands of those employees and replace them with outsourced cheap labor retards in India and Mexico...
Those thousands of former employees, their family and their friends are no longer buying your vehicles. Those former employees are also no longer promoting your company and vehicles to anyone and everyone they see, spreading good word of mouth. In fact, they are probably doing the opposite.

OTOH, if Uber can see their location then Uber can see that they're not moving in your direction and Uber should not charge you a cancellation fee. Seems a bit like fraud, although the company is only facilitating it rather than directly committing it.

>>Short term, maybe. Long term, it's a sure way to destroy your company.
And yet, most companies today seem perfectly content to crap on their customers without concern for the long-ter, effects.
With Uber, DoorDash, etc. they are aware that illegals "rent" and legitimate account so that they can make money and they have not stopped it. They get their slave labor without having to admit it. Their customer gets exposed to unvetted/unregistered gig workers who can prey upon you if they choose without consequences - no one in the transaction knows who they are.
As with pretty much every business model our immature tech overlords have disrupted: everyone makes out on it except the customer.

The entire Federal Debt Enchilada rolls over every four (4) years now.
$38 Trillion (or whatever the real number is). When rates go higher, this means more tax revenue must be applied to paying interest on the debt. They can save the markets, or they can save the dollar, they can’t save both.
If they raised rates high enough, the government goes “TILT”. There will likely never be normalized interest rates, because they can’t, and they know it. I could never figure out why anyone would buy a 30 year bond at 0.2% interest rates anyhow. Maybe the return OF your money is more important than the return on your money, still.

This is a nicely detailed painting with a lot to pick apart. Or "unpack," as we say today. The textures of the chair and bedside table, the mattress, sheets, and wallpaper, and the women's hair are all fascinating. There's color with the red blanket and the nurse's blonde locks; and the mattress's stripes add interest.
It is odd that the girl in the bed is facing the wall instead of having her head closest to it. Wonder why.
On the table, I suspect that dark bottle might be some laudanum.

The artist doesn't want the patient's face visible to the viewer because the face of a sick person would detract from the rest of composition. The subject of the work is the angel of mercy walking through the doorway. She glows, perfectly poised with q cup of goodness in hand.

The nurse ignoring the patient.
Where is she going to set the cup of tea which is not the way tea is served.

The bed is oriented so that the patient faces the wall. The staff can look thru the windows in the door to see if the patient is sleeping. The tallest bottle looks like a wine bottle. The next tallest seems to be a carafe so that's probably water. Small brown bottle is likely laudanum. Nurse/maid is bringing a nice cup of tea.
I suspect the patient is recovering from childbirth.
The reflection on the side of the carafe is kind of fascinating.

B. Notify HR that Chad needs Shot.
C. Notify your manager to notify HR that Chad needs shot.

- more food

- more available funds to deal with citizens in trouble
Add in blowing up more drug couriers and things get better still.

He was a radicalized Muslim hired by the CIA to go after other radicalized Muslims in Afghanistan and then given a pass to enter the US because the Biden administration was ideologically dedicated to importing the world no matter what.
Even Trump's elevated asylum requirements passed him in April, making the asylum system worthless.
Asylum is not permanent residence, and it's time for the world to understand that as they take back their radicals, criminals, and cancer researchers come back to provide cultural enrichment to their home countries.

In a way, they are correct.
We are standing on the outer edge of a very deep rabbit hole. The CIA along with MI6 and other western intel agencies have been building foreign armies for years in countries they are trying to topple. Started during WWII and never ended.
They train guys like the DC assassin to fight groups like the Taliban and often leave them behind when we leave. Unfortunately, some times we bring them here. He is far from the only Afghani psychopath that was allowed into the US after Biden's disastrous end to the Afghan war. Let's hope the Trump administration is smart enough to not let this happen with Ukraine.

This is correct. There are at least four places in my medium-sized city where you can walk in and get a meal, no questions asked.
A couple of them might read you a sermon while you're eating, but that wouldn't seem overly onerous if one were actually hungry.

No, there is no current 5:1 ratio of self-deportations to forced deportations in the USA as of November 28, 2025.
According to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), over 2 million undocumented immigrants have self-deported since the start of the Trump administration in January 2025, while hundreds of thousands have been formally deported through enforcement actions.
Earlier DHS data from October 2025 specified 1.6 million self-deportations and over 527,000 forced deportations, yielding a ratio of about 3:1. By mid-November, updated estimates suggest around 2 million self-deportations and approximately 600,000 forced deportations (based on projections and partial fiscal year data), resulting in a ratio closer to 3.3:1.

And as I said have been doing it for decades. Brought a lot of Cuban "freedom fighters" to south Florida after the Bay of Pigs disaster and look what happened there.
When the war in Ukraine ends we should be on the lookout for the CIA connected to start putting out tear jerking statements how it is our duty to import the same type from Ukraine where the CIA has been running the country since Barry's color revolution.

Felix Vallotton
Features the nape of Helene Chatenay. Very well done but odd, unrealistic. I'd pass hanging this painting.
---
Felix Vallotton, World Press dot com, Nov. 28, 2013
Blog dedicated to the Swiss master painter Felix Vallotton
Tag Archives: Hélène Chatenay
In part, "Based on his numerous nudes, one can surmise that Félix Vallotton loved women – he loved their beauty, their coquetry, even their flaws. But his affection for women never went beyond the canvas.
For many years, he led an affair with Hélène Chatenay, who was also his model for several of his paintings. Hélène was very dear and loyal to him, even growing close to the Vallotton family. But as Vallotton was devoted to his craft, not to Hélène, he left her for the elderly widow, Gabrielle Rodrigues. Vallotton didn’t even bother trying to hide his true motives for his engagement to Gabrielle Rodrigues – she came from a distinguished family of wealthy art dealers.
When looking at some of works, one can catch a glimpse in his character. Just like in his woodcut Money, converted his romantic affair with a woman into one of financial gain." (More followed.)

The POINT was that people (especially men) will pretend to care about the dimwitted opinions of people who are hot (especially women).
When the hotness fades, as of course it does for everyone, that pretense disappears.
It's a rude awakening, especially for "Hollywood celebrities".

Wajahat Ali: "You wanna blame Afghans for this? Then deport all whites. They're mass kiIIers."
Posted by: Anonosaurus Wrecks
----
Google Books: Wajahat Ali is a New York Times Contributing Op-Ed writer, public speaker, recovering attorney and tired dad of two cute kids.
For starters, he knows Afghan refers to a nationality, not a race. Afghanistan is a diverse country with many different ethnic groups. But he makes it about race for the low info. civil society "democracy" set.
In only about 4 years, +/- 190,000 Afghans - ten to twelve thousand CIA-backed "Zero Units" or "National Strike Units" - and their families were resettled in the U.S. just via Operation Allies Welcome and Operation Enduring Welcome.
Lakanwal, an Afghan American wannabe who worked for a CIA unit & - possibly - displayed mental health issues back in Afghanistan, drives across country, shoots National Guardsmen protecting the U.S. Capitol for what? Twisted logic of loyalty to a prior administration or something else?
We need to know.
Further, of late, even Pakistan expelled Afghan nationals citing security concerns.

The Morning Report — 11/28/25
President Donald Trump announced Thursday that . . . “I must unfortunately tell you that just seconds before I went on, right now I heard that Sarah Beckstrom of West Virginia, one of the guardsmen that we’re talking about, highly respected, young, magnificent person, started service in June of 2023, outstanding in every way, she’s just passed away. She’s no longer with us,” he said:It is now all too painfully obvious, at least to me, that Army Specialist Beckstrom died in the line of duty, in defense of our nation. Or at least what vestiges of it remain after decades of destruction, division and dissolution that have, as Abraham Lincoln once described it, rotted away at its vitals. To say that we are in a state of civil war in my view is incorrect, but we are for sure in a state of siege by an axis of evil representing ideologies and people that are simultaneously foreign and domestic, and who share a rabid fever dream of obtaining absolute power with zero compunction and now a desire to employ the most violent means at their disposal. In terms of enemies and ideologies foreign, President Trump made this announcement:
President Trump says he’ll ‘permanently pause migration’ from all ‘Third World Countries’Well, Amen to all of that. What the President did not say, and for obvious reasons cannot say is that one of the two major things that are non-compatible with Western Civilization is ISLAM. It is and has been for 1,500 years a tyrannical totalitarian death cult Hell bent of the conquest and subjugation of the entire human race by every means necessary. Islam is like a virus. First mass migration to non-muslim countries, especially those in the west where freedoms and civil rights and a notion of multicultural puarlaism allows them to over time corrupt and co-opt those societies without fear of backlash. All one has to do is look at England and France for starters and what each hs done to itself since the end ofWorld War 2 and the dissolution of their respective colonial empires that together encompassed a huge segment of Islamic majority nations. And Islam is now on the verge of completely subsuming their host countries into the Muslim "Ummah" or community. On a positive note, it is certainly a good thing that the President along with Governor Abbott of Texas have moved to make the Muslim Brotherhood a designated terrorist organization. But again, the MB as well as Al Qaeda, ISIS and all the rest as horrid and dangerous as they are, are not the threat. They are merely the symptoms of the real threat and disease which is Islam itself. Those organizations and all the rest exist to spread Islam by force of arms and terrorism.
. . . He will additionally “denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization,” he wrote in the long post.. . “Only REVERSE MIGRATION can fully cure this situation. Other than that, HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL, except those that hate, steal, murder, and destroy everything that America stands for — You won’t be here for long!” the post said. Trump’s comments came following a deadly ambush on two National Guard members near the White House on Wednesday, which investigators say was carried out by Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal. Lakanwal, 29, entered the US in 2021 from Afghanistan in the aftermath of the Biden administration’s withdrawal as part of the “Operation Allies Welcome” program.
Why the Muslim Brotherhood is a Threat to America It gave birth to Hamas, Al-Qaeda and ISIS.As I stated at the outset vis a vis an axis of enemies foreign and domestic, I give you the latter as accurately recognized and identified by an elected official on our side of he aisle.
Look, this is something that happens whenever you have the left-wing politicians making comments like they are making. I mean, when you have someone like Elissa Slotkin, who is encouraging the military to disobey the commander-in-chief, when you have someone like Jon Ossoff, who is saying that having the troops in Washington, D.C., is an embarrassment, when you have someone like Abigail Spanberger, who is saying let your rage fuel you. These are the type of things that lead to this kind of action.” He added, “You know many of are blessed with children and grandchildren and we teach then that words matter and our left-wing politicians need to understand that. This is a result of all of that, as well as them wanting to defund the police, wanting to attack our law enforcement. All of that needs to stop, and it needs to stop now.”Good on Rep Buddy Carter for telling it like it is. The Democrat/Left have been the enemy inside the gate for over 200 years. And they too have embraced a foreign anti Western ideology that was imported into this nation almost a center ago, namely socialism. Its adherents and high priests who preach it have done so from the pulpit of the American classroom and lecture hall. Unless and until that is stopped, we are doomed. Surprise surprise: The younger generations have now glommed onto Socialism, of all things, as something that will be their savior. Will Donald Trump's ascendancy lead us to a rekindling of America as founded, or merely a speed bump on the road to Hell, because if the trends are correct will the rise of Mamdani and his ilk be a one-off or as I fear our future. Having sown mutiny in the ranks, it is ominous that we hear talk like this, since electoral politics being what it is and the Democrat proclivity to steal them on top of the vicissitudes of the electorate to change for the hell of it, this is kind of ominous when, and not if, there is a Democrat or Democrat
The Purpose of the ‘Illegal Orders’ for Military Narrative is Beginning to Take Shape —
“The View” co-host Joy Behar invoked the Nazi Nuremberg trials on Tuesday in her warning to service members who may be following “illegal orders” from the Trump administration.
While discussing the Pentagon’s investigation into the members of Congress featured in the video, Behar recommended the audience watch a recently released film called “Nuremberg,” a movie based on the Allied trials of Nazi leaders after World War II. . . . . . JEn Piss-Hockey Psaki and MSNOW amplify the ‘Dems will prosecute anyone taking part in the Mark Kelly investigation’ intimidation campaign:
Psaki: “What do you think the consequences should be for people who are abiding by following these steps from the Commander In Chief?”
Kirschner: “They’re following unlawful commands from Donald Trump. And if you’re committing offenses and your defense is going to be ‘I was just following orders’ — You know, that didn’t work out so well at Nuremberg.”
When they gain power again, The Left is going to come after all of us with a vengeance. Mark my words. I'll leave it at that. Have a great weekend. And lastly, a quick shout-out and thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

I suspect that's impossible at this point. They were given so much money and carte blanche for so long that they've built systems to fund themselves even in the absence of US government funding. Given that they already appear to be working against the long term interests if the country, I would expect them to just become more open about it.
Which isn't to say that we shouldn't stop taxpayer funding, merely a recognition that it'd like be less effective than might be hoped.

For me, Congress agreeing to some words on a piece paper has changed my life. Just days after passing a spending bill that is chock full of socialism, they condemn socialism. And that is it.
Courage. That is what I want Congress to do. I don't want them to waste time on actual legislation, or implementing any of the MAGA agenda, or impeaching rogue judges, or cutting waste and corruption.
I want them to do a nose count and condemn what they just passed, but make no actual plan to not implement more socialism.
And please, go back to taking all of that free time no doing legislation that helps America and use that time on your coup d' etat.

It's remarkable how spoiled people have become. Trump's wins are so numerous, so vast, so...common! And so we take them for granted and lament that we aren't winning even more.
We're like fans pissing and moaning that our team is only up by 49-3 in the 1st quarter - because that's where we are. It's not even halftime yet. Everyone saying 'oh, the Dems will roar back in the midterms' need to take a valium. Next year will be the big 250th for America, and Dems will spend the entire spring and summer shitting on this country. Publicly. Loudly.
Great way to win over voters.

The last part is a total lie, and you make it sound like on Jan 20 of this year, every single person within the US Federal government got a conscience and started to let their 1776 freak fly.
On the 19th, these same people were literally pushing the bank transfer buttons to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars to various Marxist NGOs, but on the afternoon the following day, they all became George Washington.
And I think we know what "vetting" means in Jan 19th language: It means making sure that they are bringing in a manipulatable and violent terrorist as muscle for the Color Revolution.

Except even the clown judges know they are making up law, one thinking he's made a brilliant point that, "if you sneak into a movie theater, you're not still 'seeking admission."
None of them are citing actual law, but only "this is the way we've always done it" (parole); b/c they have to dance away from plain English that "seeking admission " includes even having been here for decades.
Anyway, the intent of the article was to show the "weight" of the Judiciary against Trump.

Most of the US is just now waking up to what the CIA has become and about Color Revolutions. We are way behind the 8 ball but that's largely because we haven't been fighting back. It remains to be seen if we will start now but the situation is not hopeless if we do.

See, there is your problem. You have this cute provincial idea that actual people turn out to vote.
Elections are won by the most ballots counted. Doesn't matter where the ballots come from, and it doesn't matter who is actually voted for on the ballots. What does matter, as Stalin liked to point out, it is Who is doing the "counting".
While Congress has been spending its time valiantly agreeing to meaningless words on a piece of paper, they haven't done jack shit about ensuring election integrity.

But I also know that the DoJ is digging into this and right now the Secretary of State is claiming that voter rolls are sacrosanct while also giving them to non-profits.
I also know that in less than a year, the FBI will come clean about Whitmer knowing about the fednapping case so that it will cause maximum damage. Can't let that out now, because the timing doesn't work. Have to wait until the candidates are set for the general, so look for it in September.

I rate conspiracy theories by likelihood. My #1 for the JFK hit is that ex-CIA head Allen Dulles gave the order in an off-the-books operation. JFK had fired CIA director Dulles over the Bay of Pigs fiasco and other sins.
Dulles had people handling Lee Harvey and Marina. They got him the job at the Texas Book Depository before he arrived in Dallas. Easy to have a real shooter take the shots from the Depository and frame Oswald for it.
History doesn't repeat but it can rhyme. Dulles wanted a war over Cuba but was thwarted by JFK. LBJ gave him Vietnam.

When Campus Editors Fear the Truth More Than Debate
_______
One thing I do not like (one of many) is this tendency to pretend there was once a free and honest media. I went to college in the 70s; student papers were far left then. Remember, many colleges saw conservative students - in the 80s - start independent papers to get a voice. IIRC, Laura Ingraham and Dinesh DeSouza were among the prominent ones who did.

They are threatening serving military members with future punishment for following lawful orders. These people are incredibly stupid. Still dangerous, but stupid.
We know this was botched because the media did no prep for it. They were stunned, just like everyone else. That's not how things always used to work, which shows that it was not run out of Obama's central HQ. Probably Slotkin dreamed it up herself.
We're already seeing the results: gullible GIs taking them at their word, and guess what? The Seditious 6 will do nothing to save them. I doubt they'll even get a Go Fund Me. So instead of inspiring troops, it will show them that Dems want to use them as crash dummies.

I'm betting only a fraction of the narco-terrorist boats are being interdicted. It's a big ocean. The boats are small. And no amount of ISR is going to find all of them.
So, yea, the drug shipments will likely continue.
Maduro was/is cozy with Iran, Russia and Chine so I do wonder if anyone of those will step up and lend him a hand or provide an exit strategy so he doesn't get unalived.

Reuben Gallego said he was asked to participate in the video but he didn't get the script in time.

I've changed my mind about the death penalty several times over the years. When I was young I was for it, but later on came to distrust state power, and became ambivalent.
Now I'm for it, and its swift application. We've become very materialist thinking that this world is all that matters. But the fact is that we will be dead much longer than we are alive, and death as a punishment is nothing compared to eternal torment. Life in prison is inhumane, and it actually make repentance harder because the criminal thinks that maybe he'll get sprung, or avoids dealing with the implication. Knowing you are going to die tomorrow forces that internal discussion.

There was still some coordination, but it was very sloppy, and demonstrates that the command and control for the conspiracy has broken down. It will further erode as Antifa's links are exposed and supporting organizations are investigated/rolled up.
Obama was serving as that C2 node, but he's taken himself out of the game out of fear. Trump's mugshot crossed a line, and they know it. You can't play the "no former president has ever been arrested" card when you're the ones who did it.

They are actually brilliant tacticians.
Go flood a country with 50 million foreign invaders. Convince American women to give up on being mothers and make them work 40-60 hours a week alongside marginally employed men, that way the entire productive domestic population is dedicating their lives into providing free food, clothing, medicine, housing, transportation, leisure and "walking around" money to these adult invaders.
The invaders out-breed, out-consume, and will dramatically boost the ballot counts for the Enemy. They have all of the free time and resources to do whatever evil their darknend hearts desire, and they get full 100% protection by the Demonic Party's legal apparatus.

This is certainly a welcome change from the usual reaction after a jihadi goes postal where nothing changes and the only concern is how to prevent a backlash against the Muslim community.

If they were that powerful, Harris would be president and MSNBC would still exist. All the legacy media is in turmoil, shedding staff etc.
That is one thing that irritated the heck out of me about Rush Limbaugh and the copy-cats that he has spawned since then: Play lots of controversial audio clips from legacy media that no one else cares about or listens to.
I'm looking at the ratings numbers of MSNBC et al and its in the tens or hundreds of thousands, where Rush's show was in the 5-8 million range. He boosted the hell out of them, and in return, these seditious retards would boost Rush's program by rage stroking their own emotionally unstable NPC drones.
Todd Herman had the decency to refuse to play Biden audio bites because who wants to listen to demons?

It's important to hear exactly what the other side is saying and who is saying it.

I never did believe any of their population numbers.
They literally went 35 years of straight One Child Policy. China's equivalent of the Millennials should be the second smallest demographic, followed by Generation Z which comes from a much reduced hypothetical breeding population.
With the Everyone Works policy coupled with Everything Is Freaking Expensive policy, I don't see the equivalent of Gen Z reproducing like rabbits.

Currently reading "INTERIM REPORT on the failures and politicization of the January 6th Select Committee, prepared at the direction of Chair Barry Loudermilk, 118 Congress, December 17, 2024" (128 p count)

Regrettably, the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol (“Select Committee” only included the National Guard’s role in the response as Appendix One to their 845-page Final Report. However, the Subcommittee maintains that the D.C.

Daily Tech News 28 November 2025
Top Story
- OpenAI has described its forthcoming AI device. (Tech Crunch) (archive site)
Not announced. Not previewed. Described:When people see it, they say, "that's it?... It's so simple."
Not so much of a description as a fart.
It's expected to be a phone, but without a screen, making it useless to everyone who already has a phone, which is... Everyone.
Also, don't look at the picture.
- Why can't ChatGPT tell the time? (The Verge) (archive site)
Because it doesn't know anything.
Tech News
- AWS is adding "DNS resilience" to its notoriously unstable US-East-1 region. (The Register)
This won't make the datacenter any more reliable, it will just make it easier for customers to switch over to somewhere else the next time it goes down.
- Looking for a larger, faster hard drive for your 2013-era laptop? SSSTC may have what you need. (WCCFTech)
It's an enterprise SSD, but it's just 7mm tall, uses a standard SATA interface, and stores up to 15TB.
Price not mentioned but probably horrifying.
- Unless it doesn't: Intel's Nova Lake lineup next year will include models with dual CPU chiplets and dual cache chiplets after all. (WCCFTech)
With a total of up to 52 cores and 288MB of cache.
Which is kind of a lot.
Nominal power consumption for the high-end model is 150W, but this is Intel so expect it to post significantly higher numbers in the real world.
- Nvidia then: If you want to buy our GPU chips you have to buy the RAM from us too, at our marked-up prices.
Nvidia now: Forget it, Jake. It's Chinatown. (Tom's Hardware)
Nvidia previously forced the companies that make its graphics cards to also buy memory through them, even though Nvidia doesn't make memory chips.
Now that memory chips have become expensive and hard to find, the board makers have been cut loose to sink or... Well, just to sink really.
- As the UK tightens its grip on free speech, it has turned its steely idiot cross-eyed gaze on VPNs. (The Verge) (archive site)
Just as everyone predicted.
It won't work. There are too many VPNs, they're too easy to create, and too easy to use. The Great Firewall of China leaks like a sieve, so the UK doesn't stand a chance.

Song is Golden from the movie KPop Demon Hunters, which is about a KPop (Korean pop music) group that, uh, hunts demons.

Accomack, if you meant me: The house agent in Owensboro, KY, has been sending me listings. Recently I've seen two I would really want to go see, if I were there.
The current plan is after New Year's, to see about an apartment there and about having my stuff put in storage. Rent for a time while I see if I do like it there, or if I'd prefer Indiana (Terre Haute has nice-looking houses). I'm going to have to tell Linda about this -- but I'm waiting until after her birthday, which is Monday. I doubt she will be in favor of it.

Been reading too many articles and watching too many videos of warnings that GPU prices are definitely going back up next year.
The only contrarian opinion I’ve seen is from JayzTwoCents on YT who claimed that because GPUs use GDDR6/7 that they shouldn’t be affected like DDR5 going up 200%.
But I’m skeptical and the consensus is the opposite, especially when I read an article in Tom’s Hardware where the rumour is that AMD is definitely raising prices by at least 10% on board partners, PowerColor pretty much confirmed it.
So I bought a PowerColor Hellhound 9070 XT for $629 and I’m sure I’ll be happy with it for several years to come.
It was either that or a RTX 5070 Ti for $809 and I don’t see paying that much extra for very similar performance except in Ray Tracing and having no DLSS or CUDA cores.

I think you'd be interested in this as it relates to navigation and all that. "Parallel transport" is all about what you mean by "straight lines" in a curved space. On the surface of the sphere, a curved 2D space, the geodesics are great circles. A geodesic is, like a straight line in flat space, the shortest distance between two points. And note that is closed. If you keep going "dead straight", parallel transporting yourself on the surface, you get back to where you started.
Now, on the surface of an ellipsoid, a surprising result is those geodesics are not generally closed. The earth, due to rotation, is really more close to an ellipsoid than a perfect sphere.

For example, if I started here and went to see Pixy, and followed the true ellipsoidal geodesic, I take the shortest possible path to Pixy. However, were I bound to continue on that straight line, when I went around the earth a full 360 degrees of longitude, I'd miss getting home exactly by around a mile or two, and that distance would grow with each loop.
Going on on and on, my path would fill a band a few degrees wider that the latitude difference between here and Pixy. I would densely cover ever point in that band, but I would never come back exactly to my starting point. I'd get arbitrarily close, but never reach it exactly. The geodesic would condemn me to wander the surface of the earth, confined to that band, forever.

My brother cooked dinner last night.
He loves to cook, and found some recipe on TikTok or somewhere to make baked turkey quarters (wings and flats) with some spices, and peppers & onions. It tasted pretty good but the skin was soggy as opposed to crispy, which isn’t terrible but certainly not expected from turkey.
His wife turned her nose up at it, ate leftover ham instead, because she didn’t like the way it looked.
Pissed him right off, though, after he’d already cooked a bunch of stuff to bring to her family’s dinner and then he came home and cooked for us.
I ate it right up, along with the chicken & dumplings and collards he’d already made.
I’ll be eating the leftovers tonight.
The only thing I really missed was Mom’s deviled eggs and homemade Mac & Cheese.

My Thanksgiving meal was a one inch thick ribeye.
Cooked over charcoal.
Illuminated by a headlamp.
While sitting at a picnic table.
In a grove of massive white pine trees listening to the sound of the wind in their branches under a moonlit sky.
Next to a roaring fire in 27 degree weather.
In a National Park that I had pretty much to myself.
It was so tender I could cut it with the serrated side of a metal spork.
Perhaps the most delicious steak I've ever eaten.
I have so much to be thankful for.

When you chat with an LLM, and it combines names, dates, and events in a way that there was no source for and is untrue, it is called a hallucination.
When you chat with an LLM, and it combines names, dates, and events in a way that is true... it's still a hallucination. It just got where you wanted. And you accept it as fact.
There's actually not that much difference between the two, except whether you're knowledgeable enough to already know the answer yourself.

Could DJT order the mass cancellation of security clearances for all CIA employees? Cancel their clearance - they cannot work there, period.

Years ago my mother made some for her NY son-in-law (my husband). She did not tell others in the family, often 50 people. Buffet style Thanksgiving.
One uncle ate the turnips and told her his wife, her sister, "I think the mashed potatoes have gone off."
Hope you all had a wonderful day. Prayers for those who are missing someone at their table this year. Ours was immediate family only this year, which I am thankful for.

Both of us were engineering students, so a LOT of our "spare" time was spent studying and doing homework. Oftentimes there wasn't enough time to prepare a meal, and the time saved in popping a pre-made dinner in the oven was worth it some days. And sometimes a TV dinner was cheaper than buying fr3sh food and preparing meals from scratch.
Of course, back then there weren't nearly as many fast food (or even budget restaurant) options as there are today. But there is no shame in eat8ng TV dinners. Some of the pre-made stuff you can pick up in the local groceries these days is really good!

The cool thing about Salisbury Steak is that it was originally medicinal in value. It was created by some Dr. around the US Civil War to treat injured soldiers.
PETA would probably be picketing Dr. Salisbury's house if he were alive today. He was one of those physicians who used to really push red meat as a health food.

You’ve got to make sure the turkey is at room temperature before you deep fry them so leave them out for a few hours before hand..
Do not overfill the pot and keep the temp around 350 for a nice rolling boil.
Make sure it’s on the hook-stand really well.
Ease it in the pot slow & steady.
If you screw any of that up you’re in for a bad time.

Philip K. Dick saw it. So did Jesus.
—EKO
In 1974, Philip K. Dick came home to find his house ransacked.
Files opened. Papers scattered. Evidence of systematic search.
His first thought wasn’t anger.
It wasn’t violation.
It was relief.
“Thank God I’m not crazy. I have real enemies.”
The FBI file he later obtained proved it. The CIA had opened his mail. His neighbors recorded license plates of every visitor. The harassment was real.
The Machine was watching.
But that’s not what shattered his reality. That came three months earlier. When something else made contact. ... [much more]

If you can, put the turkey in the fryer before adding oil to make sure it doesn't overflow the container, then take the bird out to bring oil up to temperature. Also, turn the flame off for the thirty seconds it takes to immerse the bird.

Prison Pad Thai
One Ramen Chicken noodle package

Two Tablespoons of Peanut butter(creamy works best)
1. Cook your ramen, keep about 1/4 cup of broth in after you drain it.
2. Next, put the peanut butter in the bottom of your bowl and spread it around. 3. Then put the Franks red hot in .
4. On top add the ramen.

The pot we used was pretty big (use it to cook collard greens in before the turkey) so we’d just fill it up half way. Even with a 10 or 12 pound turkey it never got high enough.
My Dad started deep frying them in the 90s when they were all the rage. Never screwed up with the oil but overcooked a few over that time.
He also did a few on the rotisserie which turned out wonderful.
There’s also an infrared turkey fryer we got that he used one time just so he wouldn’t have to buy all of the peanut oil to use one time. That came out ok, not as juicy as oil fried but still a good bird. Mom didn’t like it as much so he never used it again.

My old quiet Polish neighborhood I grew up in on the South Side near Midway Airport slowly was changed to Mexican and taken over by gangs by the late 1990s, early 2000s. I would have described the neighborhood I grew up in in the 1980s as out of "The Wonder Years". By the early 2000s, it became unrecognizable from those days.

They send them out every second week. The one in front of me covers Dec. 2 to 14. The flyer is on line at their website, too. A lot of their tools and stuff are Chinesium, alla samey Harbor Freight, but they have a surplus department, mostly industrial, rarely military, where deals can be found. I bought some windshield wiper blades for 3.99 each, which is cheap by today's standards.

I got into the Mercator map projection sort of tangentially today -- I can really go off on tangents -- and I'm ashamed that I didn't realized the meaning of the basic properties of that projection. It's conformal, preserving angles -- the vertical scale factor is chosen such that local angles are preserved. That means it's ideal for rhumb ling, constant compass bearing navigation.
On the flat map, you connect point A to point B with straight line, and that's the path of constant compass bearing. It's not the shortest path geodesic (great circle ) between A and B, but it's damned simple. All this time, and that simple property hadn't registered.

Wife is sleeping on the couch because i'm p***** off that we have a dead stovetop, dead wall oven and a dead refrigerator in which all the food that I was going to make for thanksgiving rotted.
Somehow I am the bad guy. As usual.
Posted by: Rastus Porkmo at November 28, 2025 02:06 AM (o7u1E)
Yes indeed, and that was a practical problem. You had to know longitude as well as latitude to correct to true north.
For short distances, the rhumb line, constant bearing path is okay, but for long haul voyages, the difference between a true geodesic and the rhumb line path could be 10 - 13%. So, long haul sailing needed to follow geodesics, where time was money for trade routes and such.
They basically approximated the geodesic with precomputed way points -- which were "straight" rhumb line segments between precomputed points on the great circle. For example, the rhumb line path from Britain to Sydney (steering around the continents of course), was 2000 miles longer than the geodesic, which was over a week in sailing time.
Turns about 6 way points were usually sufficient for most purposes, with 10 at most required.

Another complication is the earth isn't a perfect sphere, and the next order approximation is the oblate spheroid, a 2-axis polar ellipsoid. The geodesics there are not the same. For paths between +/- 40 deg latitude, the difference is negligible, well within what was the normal errors of the day.
But closer to the poles, it did become more significant. The great "heroic" polar explorers did use ellipsoidal paths there. And some of the big line, trying to set speed records and stuff, did try to use the ellipsoidal paths, trying to shave off as much time as they could.
Those ellipsoidal calculations are much more messy mathematically, but they worked it out. Turns out there's a "conservation law" for the 2-axis ellipsoid that makes it simpler, and you can see that as sort of a constant angular momentum thing (a mathematical analog, of course, not any real angular momentum).

Sorry, got sidetracked feeding the dogs the leftover gravy.
6.0, about 25 miles west of here. Shook for most of a minute. Didn't have a big jolt, just constant movement. I kept waiting for it to get worse but it didn't.
Woke folks up early enough to put the turkey in, though.

One rainy spring day, when older bro & I were very little, we were in the car with Mom and Dad-- going to Grandma's out in the country, I suppose.
Anyway, clouds parted and there was a fine rainbow over the fields and we could see where it touched the ground! "Oh, wow! Daddy, let's go get the pot o' gold!"
Off we went, on our Quest For Gold. Dad turned down the muddy roads, this way and that, chasing the rainbow's end. Mom was excited, too, telling us how she would trick the leprechaun into looking away while we grabbed his big pot of gold.
Miss you, Mom. Miss you, Dad. Thanks for being my parents!

The far-left Nation magazine used the Thanksgiving holiday to recast the Pilgrims and Puritans as “radical Protestant doomsday groups” whose “cultish” ideology, it argues, “became the foundation of American culture,” urging Americans to treat the day as “as good a time as any to begin coming to terms with the country’s radical cultish origins.”

Trivia I haven't bothered to check: The interracial kiss between William Shatner and Nichelle Nichols might have been the first on network TV *between black and white.* But there had been an earlier one, with an Asian woman and a white man -- and I believe it was France Nuyen and Robert Culp (whom she later married) a year or two before the Trek scene, on I Spy.

Epimenides.
Right. The supposed paradox is that Epimenides (a Cretan) claims "All Cretans are liars." If he's lying, then he's telling the truth and vice versa. It's only a paradox if liars are assumed to never tell the truth. Even so, it's easily resolved if a) at least one Cretan is not a liar and b) Epi is in fact lying.

It is called EMDR, and it is used with traditional talk therapy.
The therapists are specially trained, and you have to know to look or ask if they are certified in EMDR.
It is an amazing thing and is very effective.

They just don't get it, do they? The original Mustang was a very affordable car, around the $3000 mark, IIRC. You could be stylin' for about the same money as driving a plain-Jane four-door sedan. They built and sold six-cylinder Mustangs, too.
I suppose Ford would not license them the rights to the name, if they made it more affordable than their current Mustang offerings.

There are app 14 million green card holders in the USA according to USCIS.
Each green card is 10 years and then renewed, etc.
The last time I went to renew mine the cost was $475.
That hardly covers the cost of the biometrics, photo, staffing, etc.
imo, There is no way the gov can monitor/account for even the legal residents that don't bother to renew, let alone visitors, visa overstays, illegals.

I suggested earlier: offer a bounty, in the form of a green card, to muslims who rat out jihadis in their midst. With the understanding, that if they in turn, get credibly exposed as jihadi themselves, the green card goes away, and their passage to Shitcanistan is booked.

Save the greatest bastion of Western country still mainly intact and destroy Islamic attempts to take it from you.
Distribution of Muslims and Mosques in the USA

Seems the highest percentage of Muslims is in states on the East Coast. Midwest with next most.
3.8% in Illinois (128 mosques)
3.7% in New York (343 mosques)
3.5% in New Jersey (141 mosques)
3.0% in Maryland
California 304 mosques

The lamb turned out GREAT. Almost anything cooked low and slow in a crockpot is good. The turkey was great, too - covering it in butter (with garlic and herbs in it) and bacon IS a bit of a no-brainer.
Gonna say, though, the otters....

As a Christian, I love Christmas and Easter, but to be honest, Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday of all. Not overly patriotic or religious, so everyone can participate. People generally do the same thing all over the country, and an attitude of gratitude cuts across religious, cultural and political boundaries.
Also, my birthday is either Thanksgiving week or Thanksgiving Day, depending on the year. So yeah, this is my favorite holiday.

It's my favorite, too, for the same reasons. And, no one feels like they need to get gifts for anyone--people stress about that so much at Christmas.
You just get to gather with family or friends and feast, and be thankful in whatever way suits you.

Along with sharing a birthday, I feel the same way about Thanksgiving. When I worked we always had the Friday off too. It was a fave holiday because everybody was off so I didn't have to monitor the pager and phone too closely.

The bill was $10 too high, and when I called attention to it, our waiter agreed and said he must have hit one button twice. He corrected it. $107 included his tip. Everybody was happy.
The furry thugs have had treats and dinner (and will get some of that turkey eventually). We're sitting here now as we usually do on a Thursday evening, with Auntie Mame on the TV and "Tin Man" upcoming on ST:TNG.

I can just imagine, and I have the shivers thinking about it.
This was $42/person, so with tax and a 15% tip, $107 is about what I expected. The downtown place with the buffet Linda wanted was $60 or $70 a person, so I think I made out well.

As I said earlier today, I'm thankful for my health and my swift recovery from the minor surgery in July; for being able to retire comfortably in April; and for Miss Linda's health and companionship, and that of the cats, Stirling and Dagny.
I'm also happy that my oldest buddy, who lives in Clearwater, FL, and his wife are doing well. I'll give them a call tomorrow, after their family turmoil dies down.

It's my favorite, too, for the same reasons. And, no one feels like they need to get gifts for anyone--people stress about that so much at Christmas.
You just get to gather with family or friends and feast, and be thankful in whatever way suits you.

“Tryptophan, the essential amino acid behind the Thanksgiving myth that eating turkey can make you sleepy, has been found to exist on Bennu, a small asteroid that swings by our planet about every six years.”

So to summarize, the script uses Figlet and lolcat to display a randomly selected phrase with a randomly selected figlet font, every time you open a terminal, you can turn it off and on by setting an environment variable, and it will automatically turn off if you are in tmux or the working directory is my coding directory.
Why'd I do this?
Don't know, just wanted to do a little shell scripting and one thing led to another.

But when I was in the Balkans in 2021, I routinely saw "turkey herders" along the side of the road in Albania and Montenegro. They'd have a large shepard's crook, a flock of birds, and they'd move their herd along the roadside, with the birds eating bugs and seeds, and occasionally someone driving on the road would pull over and buy one on the spot.

A correspondent, writing from Tristan d’Acunha, in September, gives an account of his adventures in taking penguins’ eggs:
"Fancy what work, to stand amid hundreds of the birds, all screaming round you, so as almost to deafen you, tumbling them here and there, and picking up their eggs as fast as you can gather them! It is really amusing sport. I must remind you the kicking them over with soft moccasins does not hurt them in the least, and the next day they will have just as many eggs."

An interesting and well-researched investigative report appeared the other day in the highly reliable Paco World News Daily (PWND), which exposed Mazuma’s role in providing substantial support to communist front organization Penguin Facts. For years, Mazuma has been attempting to corner the market on anchovies, and the eradication of penguins, his main rival in the harvesting of this fish, is a goal which Penguin Facts is assisting him in reaching. So, ironically, the comrades at Penguin Facts are serving as the running dogs of Mazuma’s peculiar form of capitalism. As the saying goes, “follow the money”.

Mary Brewster, passenger of the Mayflower, had 9 children. Daughters Patience and Fear, among them. And children named Love, and Wrestling.

Look. Buck, I and other Texans don't need MORE reasons to dump Cornyn in the primary, OK?
As for that last sentence, that and much more besides. On Nov 20 Cornyn proposed that beating China in space requires...more bureaucracy. He wants a new government agency called the "National Institute for Space Research". Um, John? Heard of NASA???

Joss Gonzales, who did the voice of John Redcorn on "King of the Hill" was shot to death this past June. Seems to have had issues with a neighbor, among other things.

He is also being reported as working for the CIA.
Ironically I think it was the WoT that pushed the CIA into becoming a completely anti-American org. Not that there weren't issues before then but you can find clear examples of them acting on America's behalf.
But during the WoT the left decided that trying to win the war was rayciss and wrong and instead America needed to lose. And one of the more important orgs to do that was the CIA...
And the funny part of all this, very few people would have believed in 2001 that the US could lose a war to a bunch of goatf*ckers and yet here we are.
We've gone from we have to fight them over there to we have to bring them here and give them welfare because uh...diversity.

I'm not Catholic but being it's a weekday they had Mass. The readings and responsive psalm were all related to giving thanks and the Gospel passage was about the Samaritan who was healed who came back and gave thanks , unlike the nine others. Big crowd there for TG day and the young priest did a very nice sermon, and no I did not take the Eucharist .

All you should do during the National Anthem is stand, bareheaded, with your hand over your heart. Maybe sing along if so inclined and have a decent voice. Nothing else.
But once it’s over, you lustily yell “Play ball!”

At many a running event it can be hard to hear the National Anthem but it is fun to hear people quiet down when they realize it is playing. (Maybe they figure it out when I and other vets stand at attention.)

The DC Guardsmen shooting isn’t adding up. Shooter Rahmanullah Lakanwal—CIA-backed Kandahar Strike Force vet ...—ambushed 2 unarmed Guardsmen at 2:15pm EST yesterday,...
But Google Trends? His name spiked in DC at 2:24AM (84 interest), 3:28AM (100), 8AM (22)—HOURS BEFORE shots fired. Foreknowledge? We need to subpoena the IPs!

If we follow their line of thinking...it's a woman's fault for getting raped if she's out on the street in a skirt. Or stabbed or set on fire while minding her own business on public transportation.
Seriously terrible response by the left. Trying to distract from the lack of vetting Afghan refugees.

I don't hate NATO the way so many isolationists and Code Pinkers here do. HOWEVER...
Here's my veto on Ukraine joining NATO: they ain't ready and might not be for the next 200 years. I'd tell Russia "Ukraine in NATO? As if!" Sorry, but it is hopelessly corrupt and is a frigging mess.

See, he was "spreading hate". And you are not just allowed but encouraged to murder people spreading hate.
Note - telling people to go on murder sprees though is NOT hate. Well, as long as you are targeting the correct victims apparently.

The Church Committee listed a number of things including CIA spying on political opponents and Mockingbird which was the genesis for partnering with the media to build narratives and hide uncomfortable stories.
But nothing really got fixed. A few wrist slaps and they were back in business. It's also when the CIA increased their outsourcing to USAID. And here we are with USAID funding terrorists to come and kill Americans.

In the first couple of weeks after that shooting there was a hotel security guard that was bragging that he was the first one up to that door after the shooting started, and that he had seen all kinds of things. He was negotiating with media companies as to who he was going to give his exclusive story to.
Two weeks after the shooting, he took a trip to Mexico, supposedly to visit family.
He never came back.

I have watched NFL RedZone since its inception. Prior to this year, it was 100% commercial free football. It ruined me for watching any football, NFL or college, in real time. The commercials are ridiculous.
Change possession, commercial. Score, commercial. Come back for kickoff and possession change, then go to commercial. Any timeout, commercial. It's even worse than it used to be because most commercials are annoyingly woke and stupid now as well.
This is the only time I'll watch live football. It's been NFL Redzone or watch DVR'd games and FF through commercials for me for at least the past decade.

However big a fanatic you are, what would prompt you to come clear across country to do this horrible deed? Was it to gain maximum attention (the U.S. capital as the setting, the heart of Trump's "dictatorship")? I hope there is some way this pig swings. If not, perhaps he can be Epsteined.

Only 2 tupperware containers of turkey left (so one more dinner). I should have made another 5lbs if turkey if I knew my boys (and our bachelor guest) where gonna get 4th and 5ths of it. I do have enough sides for 2 meals, so there's that.
One year, I should literally just make turkey, homemade gravy, and cran sauce (which is also almost gone - it was my favorite thing I made). Make 30 lbs of turkey and probably still have the 7 folks happy...
Thank you Amazon for having the 20lber so cheap. Small one is still in my freezer for a different time.
