Remember the ONT
Howdy Horde. I'll be posting this from somewhere in San Antonio, as I'm down here for the weekend. Tomorrow I'll be visiting The Alamo.
Speaking of The Alamo, this week some bint on Twitter was sniffing about how unfair it was that the Texans attacked Santa Anna's army while they were napping, moaning about how unfair it was that we took advantage of their cultural conventions (siesta) and moaning about the Geneva Convention (in 1836??). Bitch, we're Americans, it's kinda our signature move.

Had Montcalm not marched his troops out to meet Wolfe, the French might have retained Canada, the postwar British ministries might have been less cavalier toward their overseas possessions, and the American colonists might have felt too vulnerable to seriously consider independence.
Such are the contingencies of which history is made.

If your enemy fails to observe a rule as basic as "be mindful of your surroundings" or "maintain an adequate guard," you have a right and an obligation to take advantage of that fumble. If you don't, because you think it's unfair, war is really not the right game for you.

The American revolution was different in the sense that ordinarily (French revolution might be typical) the mob rises up and deposes the "leadership".
In this instance, the leadership were the ones who revolted. Quite publicly. These were the wealthy, who "pledged they're lives, their fortunes, and sacred honor". And they really did. The signers of the Declaration, somebody did an excellent article on what happened to them. Many did lose their lives and their fortunes as a result.
Notice "John Hancock"? It's axiomatic as shorthand for "I need your signature" when somebody asks for your "John Hancock". But why is the signature on the declaration so large?
Because the King couldn't see very well. Mr. Hancock wanted to make sure ole' George could read his name, even without reading glasses.

Pretty sure the unofficial rules have the enemy attacking two times:
1) When they are ready.
2) When you are not.

We'll see. I expect it to be full of mind-numbing SJW crap, but I can't imagine the notion of chaotic free will won't disrupt the plan at some point. That's too elemental a theme to be ignored.
Regardless, for me the franchise concluded with Endgame, so this means nothing to me on an emotional level.

Freddie was an cad for stealing Silesia from the new Empress of Austria in the previous war and occupying Saxony and funding the war by counterfeiting. He didn't learn and his nice cute army was getting ground to hamburger before the new Tsar gave him an out and ended the war.
The Russians deposed the guy and Catherine the Great took over, but Freddie finally learned and was a good boy after that so she never got the chance to finish the job.

"Git thar firstest with the mostest."
Some confederate general.
See, this is the problem with "cancel culture" and the rest of the lunatic fringe. West Point and others study these battles, and the generals who waged them. They learn things. Doesn't mean we "like" or "approve" necessarily.
One of the most effective Confederate leaders actually had no military experience whatsoever. Maybe Stuart, not sure. He started out as a Private and worked his way up the ranks. He is (or was) widely studied, and an effective strategist. He just had the knack of that sort of thing.

Those idiots who wrote probably don't even have a clue as to why theologists have argued about predestination for a thousand years of two. The big problem with strict predestination is that in such a system, nobody's choices mean shit, because they don't have any choices. So nothing anyone does has any meaning.

One of the most effective Confederate leaders actually had no military experience whatsoever. Maybe Stuart, not sure. He started out as a Private and worked his way up the ranks. He is (or was) widely studied, and an effective strategist. He just had the knack of that sort of thing.

Sometimes you can be much more effective when you don't have to "unlearn" anything. A conventional warrior who studied past battles is more likely to use "what works." An untrained novice doesn't have that baggage and can innovate in surprising ways.

"Instead of waiting Wolfe out, Montcalm marched out of his fort, onto the Plains of Abraham, where he was roundly defeated, pretty much ceding France's North American possessions to the Brits."

Often the reason is you don't trust the citizens or your troops to not let the enemy in during a long siege. Don't know if that is the case here.

2. When he ordered steak during the date, you subjected him to a three-hour lecture on how beef is destroying the planet, you find cow flesh disgusting, and that ordering it only proves your latent sexual dysfunction and secret feelings of white supremacy

Right, Winston. He was a bad dude.
But that saying, that crude quote attributed to him, is nicely put and easy to remember ain't it?
Doesn't mean I like the guy. This is something that anyone who went to school or university knew back just a few years ago.
Discussion of historical figures doesn't mean we like or approve of everything they did. All the fainting couches and safe spaces are just theater by nutcases to upend the entire system lock, stock, and barrel.
It is lunacy, and I expected the universities to soundly reject that nonsense. The fact that they haven't is not good, as it will completely ruin the schools for generations.

I've said it before on this smart military blog, "The best defense is a dead opponent." In other words, the enemy should be defeated before he even knows you are there. Strangely, the left is pretty good about this in many ways. They've captured just about every institution before we really knew what hit us. Now it may be too late to return to "normal."

There are stories that NBF tried to stop the killing, and it has always been common for assaults to lead to massacres in war even w/o racial angles. There was a whole series of steps in European sieges where if you did X, blow a hole in a wall, you could summon the troops to give up. If they didn't, you could kill them all in the assault and not violate the laws of war.
So I tend to believe that NBF did try and stop it, because I figure he would admit it if he had deliberately done so. He once told his commander that he would kill him if they ever crossed paths again.
And the same thing happened in the Crater battle with Lee in charge and a more tony set of Generals in place, and just about everywhere else the South faced black troops.

I think the opening blog story, the Twitter lesson and its inclusion makes an important point: arguing online is a good thing.
Lots of people like to say "it's pointless to argue online because you will never change the other person's mind." And I agree with the second point in that statement, because it's highly unlikely to change a dumbf*ck that is dumbf*cking about with their wokeness.
But as to the first half of that statement, I disagree. The reason it's important is because other people will read the dumbf*ckery that may have no opinion, but begin to develop an opinion based on the dumbf*ck's claim. It's those individuals that can be enlightened and swayed when reading a challenge to the initial dumbf*ckery in question.
So don't be a afraid to spend time saying "You're a dumbf*ck and I'm going to take the time to explain point by point why you are a dumbf*ck so that you don't spawn more dumbf*cks."

You're thinking of Nathan Bedford Forrest (who is also the source of "git there fustest with the mostest), a truly fascinating individual. If he had held a higher position earlier on, the progress of the war would have been much different (probably one reason the cancelers hate him). Jeb Stuart was in fact a West Point graduate, as were most of the senior Confederate generals.

Another large chunk were from other military schools - VMI, Citadel, and the like.
Disagree about promoting Forrest - he had some spotty results in the actions near Chattanooga/Chickamauga, and since he had no infantry skills his route to high command was barred by politics. Schmoozers like Wheeler always got him while not being able to fight nearly as well. Cavalry does need to be able to scout and he didn't do that too well. But the main obstacle with him in the CSA was that he was not one of the club.

I think the extinguishment of New France was a necessary condition precedent to the American Revolutionary War, for this reason:
After New France went the way of the Byzantine Empire, the American colonists no longer felt any need for British protection from the Catholic, absolute monarchist polity in Quebec. The future Louisiana Purchase territory was no threat to the Americans with Quebec's token removed from the board.

So I tend to believe that NBF did try and stop it, because I figure he would admit it if he had deliberately done so. He once told his commander that he would kill him if they ever crossed paths again.
And the same thing happened in the Crater battle with Lee in charge and a more tony set of Generals in place, and just about everywhere else the South faced black troops.
Posted by: Oldcat at June 11, 2021 09:37 PM (eoQWY)
Yeah, I researched this battle quite a bit not long ago, and my conclusion was that while Union prisoners (white and black) were killed at Fort Pillow while trying to surrender, Forrest never ordered it, and in fact was trying to put an end to the fighting. It's worth keeping in mind this was 1864, and feelings on both sides were pretty raw by then.

I don't think Forrest ordered the massacre at Fort Pillow. I do believe he tried to stop it but his troops got out of control and basically went apeshit and killed pretty much everyone in front of them wearing a blue uniform.
The battle of the Crater was simply stupid tactics. Don't charge into a big hole in teh ground you can't escape. Attack the flanking units who would've been traumatized by the blast.
Instead, the troops in the crater got slaughtered by the rest of the defenders.

There was another angle. For expediency, the generals in the F&I war had made the habit of going to the colonial legislatures, asking for X money and supplies for war, and collecting it from them. Then after the war Parliament said, when trying to pay down the war debt, "No, colonial legislatures, you have no say, here's your stamp tax or whatever". The colonies, and the powerful colonials said bull on that. That's why in most places the US revolution was a bit calmer - the rebel governments were in place and established, rather than ad-hoc creations run by people with no governing experience.

Hi mnw!
I agree, and that was commented on by some observers almost as soon as the 1763 treaty was signed. If the authorities in London hadn't started trying to micromanage the colonists, they still probably wouldn't have broken away, as they did still consider themselves loyal subjects, but to put the administrative screws to them immediately after removing the greatest obstacle to an independent existence was the Brits' greatest mistake.

I don't disagree.
But there is an art to this as well. Having come of age in a pre-internet world, I trained in the arts of IRL trolling.
When I encounter an individual IRL, in say a bar room setting, spouting dumbf*ckery, I liked to let them spout and then systematically dismantling their argument while periodically interjecting sidebars like "and this is why you don't know what the f*ck you are talking about, because you are an ignorant dipshit" loudly enough to where others around the dumbf*ck begin to laugh and mock them.
In this way you can grievously injure their intellect and ego, causing them to either slink away in defeat for all to see, or to enrage them to the point they get aggressive, at which point you can really ratchet up the mockery. When you have reached the appropriate level of aggravation, they will make a decision to try to physically assault you, and if they are good and buzzed, you can slip their initial lunge and beat the living shit out of them while still claiming self-defense.

That Karen complaining about how unfair the Texans were is a result of the lack of History being taught. And taught in depth so that comparisons can be made and understood.
Unless you know what preceded some actions you cannot put them into perspective and so can draw incorrect conclusions.
Winning in war isn't just the best thing, it's the only thing. There are no prizes or medals for second best in a battle.
Like was said: the quick or the dead. And you may not get a choice.

Actually, the that was the plan, and it was the black troops in Fererro's divison, who had been held back from most battles, who were trained to do exactly that.
But the day before someone went to General Meade and said that if the blacks went in and were shot up, it might be though of as racist. So they swapped up at the last minute to a white division. Burnside threw up his hands and had them draw straws. Ferrerro and the leaders of the white troops went into a bunker and got drunk. And the white troops did the milling around.
Finally, after hours, they sent in the black troops, and they struggled past the troops in the Crater and did attack the flanks and forward - but the Rebels had used the time well and they did not get far, and many were not allowed to surrender and were killed in the fight.

couldn't find this poast when i went back and looked, so a tip o' the hat to the quoter: besides no "Burst", barrel twist rates may be different, up OR down, maybe no front sight post, just a gas block under the shroud. compensator or other muzzle device, not just a flash suppressor, especially in 5t00pid states like #Failifornia. ambidextrous selector switch/safety, bolt carrier may be different in cutouts 15 vs 16. various aftermarket triggers, one AND two stage, as well as two shot, one when pulled, one when released. various style stocks, collapsing, folding, etc just a few things off the top of my head.

The battle of the Crater was simply stupid tactics. Don't charge into a big hole in teh ground you can't escape. Attack the flanking units who would've been traumatized by the blast.
Instead, the troops in the crater got slaughtered by the rest of the defenders.
Posted by: Winston, GOPe, not one dime, not one vote at June 11, 2021 09:46 PM (FtJ1S)
The Crater was just a disaster, and it didn't have to be. The black troops who fought there *were* trained to go around the hole, not into it; but they were held back by the high command at the last minute and replaced with unprepared white troops who had no idea what the plan was. When the black troops were finally sent in, it was already too late, and that's when the slaughter began.
Burnside lost his command for that one (which I feel was a bit unfair, as the change was made against his advice).

Many seem not to understand that Sun Tzu is all
about how to beat a strong force with a weaker force. If you have the
stronger force you're not supposed to require a lot of strategery to
win.
Posted by: Tom Servo at June 11, 2021 09:45 PM (q3gwH)
He also seemed to have a hard on for victory without actually fighting. There is one chapter where he lists a bunch of bests and second bests. Preserving the enemy's state capitol is best, destroying the capitol is second best, preserving their army is best, destroying their army is second bast, etc etc all the way down the line to subjugating the enemy's army without fighting is supreme excellence, or some shit like that. Going from memory here.

Good point, Oldcat. I take it back; it wasn't Burnside's fault that the black troops got swapped out, but the way in which he responded absolutely was, and displayed all his flaws as a field commander. It was time to get rid of him.
Funnily, I read that the conversation in which Meade relieved Burnside of command was described as "a perfect example of the English language's talent for profanity." They didn't like each other very much.

Sun Tzu like Machiavelli had eyes not just on the immediate battle, but also on the battle after. Minimizing the number of people willing to risk their lives 3 years later to slit your throat by not burning most but not all of them to the ground right now is a pretty good idea if you aren't ready/able to burn them all to the ground with overwhelming force.

In his time, there wasn't a lot of free cash for soldiers and even a small force was a big burden on a state. And these are not huge states. So force preservation becomes a priority, as disease and other factors waste troops very fast even without battles.

It's not cheating if you win the war.
The winners get to write the history books.

Dave in FL: I have no idea what we paid for tickets but we went to a couple Halloween in Disney weekends (with the school calendar it was often a long weekend). Of course we don't have an annual pass so the fee didn't bother us.
One year we went on the last day of the festivities and we got SO MUCH candy. We played with it for hours like building blocks.
This was about fifteen years ago. Such a fond memory.
We did have fun at the amusement parks but I have to admit it was definately an expensive vacation.

The Princess was first produced in 1959 and was designed by Henry Dreyfuss, the fabled Western Electric desinger. He designed the venerable 500 and many others.
The Princess was targeted at womyns, hence the name. It had a lighted dial, but that required an external transformer. They didn't have a ringer small enough to fit in the case when they first went into production, and so an external ringer was required.
That was soon remedied and later models had the ringer. Touch-tone versions followed.

On Christmas Eve, our parents took us to gramma's house down the block. Then, they took us home about 8pm to a tree with presents -- they told us "You just missed Santa's visit!"

You can find a lot more customization for the AR-15. A friend has one that was done by someone at his church. Instead of "safe" and "fire" the selections are "grace" and "judgement".

Sara Hoyt used to say she wanted a time machine and a pair of rusty pinking shears so she could visit Rousseau for a couple of hours.
I am not sure though, that if you got rid of Rousseau you wouldn't have gotten one of the other political loons like Godwin instead. There were a lot of similar thinkers at the time. Rousseau was just the smoothest and most plausible

The media industry certainly cares about me! They stopped making interesting movies and saved me that ticket money. They made TV awful so I canceled satellite \cable and saved even more! Then they ruined music so I don't have to buy any new albums! Now let's give a pat on the back to the automotive industry..they don't make any cars I want so I don't have any interest in replacing my 20 year old ones..I am getting richer all the time.

On our end, the rabid bat story continues. Guy the health dept recommended said it will cost $3000 to fix all the dormers and entry spots in the house to make it batproof.
That's not counting replacing 2 windows at the top of a 2 story house in dormers off the attic. Great, this is all while I'm on disability pay. I told Jules watch the spending , you never know what will happen.

Because we were all in costume we got plucked out of line and taken to the front of the roller coaster line! (DH says it was because I was hot in my pink princess dress. **blushes modestly**)

Limitations on chemical and biological. Caliber and bullet composition.
Other stuff supposedly to make war a bit less complete annihilation. I guess so that there won't continue to be either rounds and rounds of revenge or out right genocide.
Seems to me that in all out war complete annihilation of your enemy would be the goal so that no war can continue later with that enemy. And sometimes that's been done.
Keep in mind until recently most of the monarchies of western Europe were all relatives. Including the Russians.

And Jesus could say "i told you so", and people would stop being such insufferable dicks about the Bible all the time...
But then I'd have to leave so that the B- team of centurions could finish the job, because, you know, it still had to happen and all.

Pretty sure, that if you went back in time and dusted mohammed, the discovery and colonization of America might have been delayed by centuries.
But it would fun to troll the muzzies by "leaking" news of a time-travel project with that intent in mind.

Seems to me that in all out war complete annihilation of your enemy would be the goal so that no war can continue later with that enemy.

If that's the case the 'neutron' bomb should have been made and deployed long ago.

Well, on one of our Christmas eve drives my dad stopped at our little community store, fifties version of a 7- 11, for a six pack or smokes or something, and we saw Santa coming out of the store! It did seem odd that he stopped at a store, what with all he had to do on Christmas eve.

Well thanks to Jimmuh Carter they (apparently) didn't build one.
I think anyone building one would be a prime target for preventative strike. Cause anyone with a Neutron bomb could destroy everyone else and own the whole world.
That was also the position for a long while on having anti missile missiles. Makes people nervous as it made MAD obsolete as a strategy.
When one takes a long look, the last 100 years have been kinda fvcked up.

Neutron bombs probably exist. "Enhanced Radiation Warheads".There still will be damage from flash and blast if they are used close enough to the target population to be effective.
It's not like you can touch one off at 100,000 feet altitude, and wipe out all the humans in the country.

Warai, Geneva Conventions are substantially taken up by treatment of non-combatants, and POWs. Quite a bit on occupation by armed forces. Always (slightly) amuses me when current day airheads think "occupation!" is some kind of yuuuuge pejorative term and concept. Of course, a lot of this is from the Palestinian 70-year ongoing defeat, that they refuse to work with.
Um, no. Occupation is a large, routine, perfectly acceptable part of land warfare, an unavoidable part. So, lots of rules on obligations and limits of the occupier.
We imposed occupation on Japan after WWII, and some of it was fairly recently technically ended (Okinawa). Ditto West Germany, of course.
Hague Convention dealt much more with warfare itself (weaponry, tactics).

People have forgotten that every group we've conquered/subjugated tried to annihilate us first.
We just had a better organized culture and were better at them at the mechanics of war and were bloody minded as hell.
This always happens the blood gets diluted until the clan can no longer hold on to what it won. And then it gets to be the slave for awhile.
That said however all those rising up are really not doing so out of skill or power as they are being aided by out enemies. but then we've done that one too. Get your enemies enemies to fight with you and tell you all the other party's secrets.
Did it with the Aztecs, Incas and then the Indians. The only tribe that prospered is the Navajo and that's because they lived in some god forsaken barren country and only until lately when oil, gold, coal, uranium and bauxite was found to be worth something have they come out on top, sorta.
Don't talk about the casino indians cause all of them are fronts for the italian and chinese gambling mobs.

I remember reading an account of the "discussion" between Burnside and his higher up, Gen'l Meade immediately after the fiasco. When Meade realized how badly things had gone, he was not simply irate, but the witness reported that "I had never before heard the English language used in the way General Meade used it then."

With muhammad out of the way the church and its eastern expansion through and past Russia may have worked better. Instead of christianity being snuffed out in Japan and then horribly bungled in China it could have swept through. Which, if it united asia, would have created a horribly powerful kindom that would have quickly rivaled rome. They would have discovered and colonized this continent.

My oldest daughter in Texas is going through a breakup of her boyfriend/fiance of eight years.
He cheated on her and gave her an std, fortunately, treated, but in any case, she kicked him to the curb, rightly so.
He's now blowing up my phone, and currently have my phone off, because I am so afraid of what I may say to him, I don't want to trigger him to do something foolish.
I thought of this kid as a son, and I am not in the mood to be understanding at the moment.
Well, what would y'all do?
Youngest daughter is similarly not talking to him because she's afraid of saying something she'll regret.

You may further say, "If you aren't going to call and get my advice and assistance when deciding whether or not to sleep with other women, you don't need my advice and assistance in this matter either. You are an adult, you made and will continue to make your own decisions, and you will live with the consequences of your decisions. That's the most loving thing I can tell you."

This is why Cain and Abel had no problem scoring hot babes because there were already plenty of gentiles populating the world.

They should read about the 30 years war, for perspective. Where basically areas were reduced to cannibalism due to war, and bands of mercs taking stuff over years, for perspective. Held Germany back for two hundred years.
Its the reason war got kinda polite in Europe, for a while. Till the Revolution & Napoleon, more or less.

Big Tech is reaching comical levels of censorship. I was catching up with Tucker's monologues. The other day, speaking of the myocarditis program with the mRAN Coof-vaccines, he had Dr. Hooman Norchashm (how's that for a name). The dude is an immunologist and surgeon who's held positions at various elite medical schools including Harvard. He's al so the author of dozens of papers appearing in various (once) prestigious medical journals.
His position as he elaborated to Tucker: No one who has had Covid and recovered should take these vaccines, and the risk far outweighs the benefit for healthy young people.
That is the only reasonable position anyone could take. Well, the doctor has had his video taken down from Youtube as spreading "vaccine misinformation".
A fucking expert in the field.

Adam and Eve, Methusala live to over 900 years, per The Story ... lots of time for many children. AND their bloodline (per the story) was very pure, so even if they married their sisters, it was no problema, genetically.
I interpret it as figurative ... but the 12 tribes were later. And "Man" is not just 6000 years old (or whatever that lineage is in years) God spoke in terms man of the time could comprehend.

I've heard it theorized that those lifetimes are in months, as the calendar at the time was a lunar one. 900 months is some 70 years, so timeline wise it works out.

I had my first mask incident at a store tonight, but it was the opposite of the norm.
I went to the liquor store around the corner. The cashier was outside, helping a couple of guys working on a car in the parking lot. I came to the door, saw him approaching, and held the door for him. He went in, and I put on my mask before walking in.
He said, "You don't have to wear the mask." I took it off, put it in my pocket, and said, "Cool, thanks! I hate wearing that thing."
I think we may be at a point now where I can walk into a store without the mask, and then just maybe put it on if someone bitches at me about it.

Hadrian, German soldiers fought to get to the western lines where they could surrender to American or British troops (vs. surrendering to you-know-who).
Thousands of the 80K+ Iraqis taken POW during the first Gulf War became asylees and then citizens in the US.
"America: so barbaric in war, enemies fight to surrender to us and then seek citizenship.
America: so racist and unjust, we have to build actual walls to keep people from moving here to live."

The Riverwalk (built by FDR's WPA), is a landscaped ditch, with restaurants. That said, a fun place, if it's still open and not killed dead by the plague, is Dick's Last Resort*. Basement of the NIX Hospital, at the Riverwalk level. The waitstaff will insult you, and you may insult them back. Bit rowdy, but cold beer n' good fun!

Twitter suspended another expert, which Tucker mentioned. She's a fucking expert epidemiologist, MD, Ph.D after her name, author of a long list of papers, etc, etc.
She was discussing the CDC's own myocarditis data and arrived at the same benefit to risk position. Twitter suspended her for spreading misinformation.
So, quoting the government's own data is enough to get you censored by Big Tech.

And one of my favorites, from Iraq, Part Dieux: there was a kind of stand-off between the newly formed Iraqi army and a Sunni insurgent group - can't recall, north, probably Salah al-Din. The "enemy" (Sunni group) would only agree to a cease-fire and some kind of stand-down *if the American forces guaranteed it*.
A work of art, really. The evil infidel American occupiers were, quite reasonably, seen as the only legit and trustworthy/reliable power in the picture to guarantee a settlement.

Trump recently had a lawsuit against Twitter, for banning him, dismissed.
Remember when some asshole judge ruled that Trump couldn't block people on Twitter, because he was an elected official and they just had to be allowed to communicate with him on Twitter, even though the people he'd blocked were just responding to his tweets with dick pics?
If President Trump can't block people because he's an elected official, how is Twitter allowed to ban him and, uh, keep people from communicating with an elected official?

I have an entire 400 or so page book detailing the various attacks and defenses of settlers in the Ohio Valley in the post revolution to early 1820s or so era. Most are about a paragraph. It was common to have flatboats of cargo show up at towns downstream with dead/wounded/scalped crews and passengers.
Not that there aren't some going in the other direction. I remember a notable one were a punitive raid from KY that managed to find pretty much the only Friendly chief and his people. Dude even had a huge US flag given by Washington. Attacked it and wiped it out.

I understand.
But if we determine that Rabbis were using the lunar calendar when they wrote Genesis down, then we would have to interpret Genesis 21 to say that God was gracious and Sarah bore Abraham a son in his old age. Abraham was 100 lunar (8.3 solar years old) years old when Isaac was born to him.

I think the old parent that had a miracle happen to regarding age was Sarah, not old Abe. Everyone knew an old duffer could have a kid, even one that does not resemble the mailman. Women above 40, not so much.
But point taken, it isn't my theory. Could be that when they were redoing the dates everyone balked making "Old as Methuselah" mean moderately old instead of hugely old.
Legends in those days didn't have to all line up, if your kid asked a question about it you bopped him one.

The Riverwalk (built by FDR's WPA), is a landscaped ditch, with restaurants. That said, a fun place, if it's still open and not killed dead by the plague, is Dick's Last Resort*. Basement of the NIX Hospital, at the Riverwalk level. The waitstaff will insult you, and you may insult them back. Bit rowdy, but cold beer n' good fun!

*we used to refer to it as "Richard's Final Option" in corporate memorandum.
I ate there years ago. And still have a matchbook with a really stacked, half naked women on the matchbook.
The food was ok, but it was entertaining. The waitress was really rude.

There used to be a Dick's Last Resort in Chicago. One night i was there trying it out, and after got food and started eating went to the bathroom. Came back and two guys and their dates were there eating my food.
At least they got me a new dinner and some drinks.

OMG, we found Dick's Last Resort first in Dallas as tourists on a Fri night. Never should have drove after.
Then found Dick's in Chitown. Had several fun times there, including my in-laws and some English friends another time. It was near Navy Pier, is it still there?

I think much of what modernists have endeavored to do with their theories on Scripture is try to make Scripture sync with modern understanding because they think that to have a narrative that defies science makes the Scripture flawed.
The last thing that post-Enlightenment thinkers would want to admit is that modern thought and science is flawed. That God and His creation must be subservient to modern observation.

To me the problem is a non-problem.
I'm not sure why Judeo-Christian rationalists can believe there is a deity that exists outside the realm of creation, that has the power to create matter and the universe from nothingness, but he can't put a person inside a fish or make a person live 900 years.
The God of Israel can and will do as He pleases. Our understanding of His why, how and when will never compete.

A similar thing happened in the late Rome period where the airy musings of Greeks on the Trinity collided with the more bare knuckle enforcers of the other groups, so Group A would call heretics of Group be on the most obscure shades of variation on the subject. This did a lot of harm to the church and the state, over differences that could hardly be defined much less compromised over.

The polar-opposite of a Mechanical Engineer is a Social Engineer. One works from facts and data to produce calculations from which architects can design things that work within limits, and don't generally fail right from the get-go.
A Social Engineer works from suppositions, projects rationalizations, and helps politicians and bureaucrats produce edicts, rules and regulations which mathematically and historically, are certain to fail right from the get-go.

The hills down there are full of old settler graveyards and Indian burial grounds. My sister and brother in law live in Adams County, and he knows of a bunch of old Indian burial grounds that people just don't touch.
Allegedly, Killen Station, a coal burning power plant built in the early 1980's, was on a burial ground, and there were several fatalities in building it. And the last year saw it demolished, and two guys were killed during the demolition; a boiler fell on them as they were cutting it apart. The boiler weighed something like 40 tons.

There are people (not me necessarily) who take the view that a lot of the ancient texts should be taken quite literally. "There were giants in those days"; they point to huge sarcophogi and things like that in Egypt, elongated heads are a big deal. Nephalim.
The written record of Egyptian rulers goes way, way back farther than is accepted by mainstream archaeology or Egyptologists. They just sort of say that beyond a certain date, they were just kidding, or making things up, or something.

I bought a stinking ass cheap harbor freight rotating/swivel head 1/4 drive ratchet for $12 because it was a decent copy of my snap-on version, and I was curious how it would hold up. I have been pounding on that thing for 2 years in the shop every day and its still like the day I got it, and it's lifetime guarantee. I would have thought I would have turned it to dust by now. A dude starting out can bury himself in decent tools for a comical fraction of what the "tool truck" tools cost.

A lot of stories from the Bible were related by people who didn't have a written language, let alone an accurate calendar.
They passed these stories down orally until they had a written language to work with.
You remember the old game Telephone? You'd whisper something to someone, who'd then whisper it to someone else, and eventually the story would make its way back to you, but a lot of the details would be different? That's how I view those stories about Adam and Methuselah and Abraham and Sara living for 900 years (and Sara having a baby when she was almost 900 years old).
Time is sort of relative in the Old Testament. Genesis says God took six days to create the world and put humans on it, but, well, what is six days to someone like God? Six days for Him could easily be eons for us.

There are also really ancient Vedic texts from India, not sure how old they are but several thousand years iirc, supposedly they talk about flying machines, and epic battles in the skies, and great powerful weapons. Supposedly certain areas in India have "green glass" and high levels of radiation, both said to be evidence of ancient nuclear exchanges. I'm not a subscriber to these theories, I'd have to see definitive proof, but there are some strange things in the world, and suspect the past is much different than popularly supposed.

A lot of the shop guys buy their tools on installment plans from Snap-on, and then because they can (and because the money is good and a lot of them don't have good money skilz) they trade up as often as they think they need to. They stay in debt and have a portion deducted from each check by the boss to pay Snap-on
Personally I have considered cornering one of the salesmen and finding out cash prices for the trade-ins

One interesting characteristic, usually human technology starts out relatively primitive, and gets better over time. But there are several sites around the world where the stone work starts out an exceptionally high level of precision, made out of extremely hard materials like granite, diorite, andesite, basalt. Just "there", and obviosly at a high level or mature technology for whoever built them. The Pyramids are a good example. The stonework got worse over time, not better.
Macchu Pichu is like that, the Incas built on top of the original stuff very primitively comparatively.

Bidding up the price, paying big cash premiums to outbid the competition. This is one of the reasons for the crazy housing markets and ridiculous prices.
There is something very ominous here. The Oligarchy literally wants us to be serfs. We will own nothing. They will own everything and we'll be their debt slaves. That is what they want.

So in 1800 the father decides this is a good move, they are moving from around Shepherdstown, VA (now WV) to OH. He votes for Jefferson and leaves on the trip. Along the way he stays at a tavern and finds out Jefferson won and he and the innkeeper get drunk together to celebrate.
Great family story, except the disgrace Wm voted for a Dem. But it was TJ, those were different days and John Adams, bless his heart, was just an unlikeable douche.

I am a firm believer. Well not believer, but wouldn't be surprised in the least, and would probably bet money on it being so, that there was another high human civilization on this planet well before we think.
Was the civilization at high tech level? Don't know, but probably wouldn't bet on it. Maybe say, Roman level or something.
It exists and was wiped out in some planet-wide cataclysm, maybe SMOD, maybe something else. Look at the coastlines at the minimium during the last ice age. There's a hell out of lot of land that is now underwater.
And where do humans love to build? Right next to the water.

I believe this ancient civilization was the basis for the Atlantis myth, and for the Great Flood myths that permeate every culture on the planet. Yep, every one has some Noah's Ark like tale. This is dim memories of an ancient cataclysm that rest the world.
This civilization was likely global. That is, sea faring, knew the earth was round and travelled the globe.

I think you've already lost the bet. The granite boxes in Egypt alone are a real enigma. They are precision made, with 90 degree angle cuts, huge boxes made of a single block of stone, from quarries hundreds of miles away. The surfaces are flat within a few thousandths of an inch. This is significant, because nobody makes things more complicated or to a higher level of precision than is necessary.
Baalbek is another strange one. The Romans built on top of it, but there's no record of them building with stones of that size like found in what's called the "Trilothon", they are massive. Why? Why would they do that?
An archaeologist named Petrie discovered some granite cores associated with precision cut holes in granite. Remember granite is tough to drill, or cut. Based upon the striations found on the cores, he estimated a 1 in 60 feed rate on the core drill, roughly 1/10th of an inch per revolution of the drill. This is very impressive for drilling into granite.

And then there's the Hall of Records theories. This is likely Woo, of course, but it's part of the Atlantis lore. It goes as follows:
When the Atlanteans realized they were all gonna die and their civilization and works were going to be destroyed (and it might have been a few "prophets" who warned them, but were ignored), they made an effort to try to preserve their history and knowledge.
They sent out teams to special places on the planet to create Halls of Records to hold this knowledge and in places they hoped would survive.
One of the big legends is one of the Halls of Records is buried deep under the Sphinx. I forget where the others are supposed to be, if there's any candidates.

I always thought the Methuselah thing was a shift from a lunar calendar to a solar one. Methuselah lived to be 969, which, if you are counting lunar cycles is bit shy of 72 years. 72 seems a ripe old age for a tribal elder of copper age nomadic herding people.

The Sphinx and that area is riddled with huge deep tunnels and shafts all over the giza plateau. I've no idea what all that stuff was for. Building this huge supposed tomb (and then leaving it empty) doesn't make much sense. The outer casing stones were looted for other construction. Supposedly the entrance was invisible, that's how tightly fitting the casing material was. That's why the Arabs blasted a hole about 40 yards away from the original entrance, and tunneled around till they found the shaft.
The Great Pyramid was the tallest structure made for thousands of years, it wasn't until the Eiffel Tower in 1889 or whenver that it was exceeded. Kinda wacky in a way.

Looking this up, and this comes from much woo-woo sources, there were three Halls of Records built. One is at Giza, under the Sphinx.
The second one is somewhere under the Atlantic around Bimini (see the Bimini Road stuff).
The third is at Peidras Negras in Guatemala, which is an ancient Mayan site.

And the fit of those stones was indeed incredible precision.

God can tell truths even through stories that are not historically accurate. There is not doubt man has played a part. Look at some scribe 500 years ago translating a Bible by hand, by candlelight. Look at the reality that The Bible was written in different languages, and usually the language those being described did not speak.
I recall religion courses where certain people were put off by the teaching, it didn't matter a that a reverend was teaching the course, and he has teaching what historians know about the Bible.
In the end, you have faith or not. If you believe the Bible is word for word inerrant, then I ask, which version are you talking about? At the same time. man has always been a factor, our fallibility exists and that can not be taken out of the picture. But to deny the Bible is the Word of God to man, is to simply not believe, to have no faith in that scripture. There are lots of examples out there but at least for me it is way too late to get into it.

If someone believes the Bible is word for word instruction from God to
man, I have no problem with this. Sure there are hundreds of
translations, and hundreds of languages, that is reality. But I don't
think whether you believe the Bible is inerrant or "the general word of
God" means that much in the end. If you dig deep. that is not the
question, at least few religious Christians believe that is the
question.

The earliest accounts of inside the great pyramid describe what we would call a robot today and other strange materials, and burning lamps or lights. Straight out of Indiana Jones.. Lots of obvious circular blade saw marks on the basalt floor on the area surrounding it. Not a major deal maybe, but the archaeologists today don't recognize Egyptians having any metal or circular saws, or lathes, or anything like that. If you've ever used a powered saw and made a mistake, and then cut at a different angle, you'd recognize the same thing. It's clearly evident they had high speed circular blades.

In America, the King James IS the Word of God.
Not because of transliteraitve accuracy.
But because it's the Word of God that our Founders read, understood, and related into our Declaration and Constitution.
Linguistic Scholars can take a seat behind me on this. The KJVs every word and meaning can be tracked down to it's origin and root in every language. References such as Strong's, and Vine's Concordance of New Testament Words, pave the way.

I am KJV version all the time, every time. I like the versions that translate some words to make it easier. I also like the idea that some can't get it, can't relate to it, so they should read other versions. One I prefer is the Revised Standard Version. Not the NRSV, but the RSV. It is a a decent translation that absolutely no one pushes today. That is probably a good reason to check it out.
but yeah, to me, there is nothing like the KJV. Find any text, and the KJV is better. Also, it is part of our literary and cultural history. It is pretty clear that today it is not well known, and that is a very bad thing.

Well we don't have aliens helping us. I do always love the ridiculousness of that. Aliens did it? But look at all the other pyramids in Egypt. The failed ones. The ones that collapsed, the one that they made too steep and had to alter halfway up. Apparently the aliens sucked at stone age construction.

Partial lyrics for Everybody's Next One --
She's all alone, just lost another one
Met him yesterday and he's already gone
And though tonight she'll swear it was the last time
A smiling face will come that knows the right line
And then she'll do all the right things with the wrong guy
And when he's gone, next day she'll sit and wonder why
She doesn't know why she's everybody's next one
'Cause she's afraid that the truth is gonna hurt some
All the pity in the world ain't gonna help none
She has to realize that to keep one, her ways have to change some
She's all alone, just lost another one
Met him yesterday and he's already gone
And though tonight she'll swear it was the last time
A smiling face will come that knows the right line
And then she'll do all the right things with the wrong guy
And when he's gone, next day she'll sit and wonder why
She doesn't know why she's everybody's next one
'Cause she's afraid that the truth is gonna hurt some
All the pity in the world ain't gonna help none

satyriasis -- a neurotic condition in men in which the symptoms are a compulsion to have sexual intercourse with as many women as possible and an inability to have lasting relationships with them Compare to nymphomania
Because that's his excuse.

King James may have been a lot of things, but he was no scholar of Greek, Hebrew or Latin. I'll stick with St. Jerome's version, thanks. It is somewhat more accurate if less "poetic."

Because that's his excuse.

without sex, men would have mostly nothing to do with chicks
but after 8 years this is a piss poor excuse
women haz same issues but diffrent with dudes

I figured as much.
Good news, though I pray she takes it slow, is that she's expressed interest in another gentleman, and he didn't beat feet when she told him the deal.

Clearly not, but not my point. If you want to read what 16th century Protestants thought the Bible should say, the KJV is great, but it isn't what the original authors said, which makes it somewhat unreliable. Fun to read, but not quite what was said.

i recall people asking a Biblical scholar which version they should read. He said, the version you have at hand. In the end, it is very easy to get into the weeds here. But the point, imo, is faith. You either have faith, can be persuaded to faith, or not. Sure there are other levels, you can get into deep analysis is that is your want.
The thing about the KJV is is no only inspired the people who made modern Western Civilization, who also converted people in numbers unprecedented, but also it is the single most literary book man has ever devised. Even taking about religion, no other book has influenced English and American literature than the King James Bible. To have not read it is to have missed out.

Addiction is a physical disorder that conditions the brain. One does not stop being an alcoholic because one finds the will to quit drinking; one remains an alcoholic. Same with drug addiction; you can choose to not do drugs, which is an act of the will, but your body will still crave it.
Addiction is not the place where self control comes into play; that's character.

Apparently you think Western Civilization was invented by Protestants. You need to read a bit deeper into history, well beyond Martin Luther, to the rise of the Scholastics who invented modern science, and to the rise of the University, the Trivium and the Quadrivium. Protestants surely built on what existing, no doubt, but they did not invent the modern world.
I did not miss out on reading the KJV, I just found it rather light on several points, not least of all it leaves out more than one of the books, but the language tends to obfusticate rather than elucidate. YMMV.

Well, apparently your experience with alcoholism bears little relationship with mine. In my experience, most who are actual addicts never do work their way back to anything like normal. The difference between a drunk and a dry drunk is that first drink, and the many that come along with it. Nearly nothing else is different, except the will to either drink or not drink. The defect is deeper than a decision.
But your way sounds sunnier, even if I've never seen it.

I fully admit the Catholic Church played quite possibly the greatest act in ushering in Western Civ. So let's call the dogs off, you have me all wrong.

Alcoholism is an addiction. I see why some argue whether it is a disease. But I know for many they would love it eradicated, disease or not.

I still have the old software and I have not run into anything that stands out. Funny, as I recall, it was the most hated version of Windows. I am not saying I like it, but I just never got around to upgrading.

@595 It worked great for john brown. He got lincoln elected and provoked the civil war. Ended slavery. Many more have died for far less achievements. John brown's body lies a mouldering in the grave glory glory hallelujah! Union solders sang as they went to battle. The martyrs power begins with his death and the tyrants power ends with his.

no doubt there. John Brown's Body was one of the songs they sang. Dixie was another one used by both sides. Hell, a Northerner wrote Dixie.
i personally have no issue with slaves wanting to break free. Brown's mission was misguided at best, the results speak for themselves. There was something tearing at the body politic. There was something that did not fit. i personally don't think it is right to go terrorist, but I was not there. Not doubt it moved things to the point where something had to happen.

most Union soldiers did not care about slavery, at least in the way we would care about it. They could not stand the South and the leaders of the South, they called them oligarchs. There is a reason Mississippi had more wealth than any other state before the war.

Most Union soldiers fought for the Union, an idea few Americans can
understand today. Most CSA soldiers fought for their family, friends and
states. Again, something few could understand today. in the end, most
Union soldiers got on with ending slavery. They wanted to end it because
it punished The South, made Civil War not possible, and because they
though the idea was anathema to the world they lived in.
But
anyone who says most Union soldiers signed up in 1861 to end slavery on
the continent, is misguided. Nothing wrong with starting with that idea
but to learn the real truth is much more enlightening.
