Quote I “This is extremely concerning. The ship and containers are very close to Victoria, BC, and a big storm is forecast to hit tonight. We … are worried this may be yet another environmental disaster,” David Boudinot, president of Surfrider Foundation Canada, an environmental group
Quote II "You never let the muzzle of a weapon cover something you don't intend to destroy." Bryan Carpenter
Quote III “I do not have an accounting of what the Chinese may have done, and I am fully in favor of any further investigation of what went on in China. However, I will repeat again — the NIH and NIAID categorically has not funded gain-of-function research to be conducted in the Wuhan Institute of Virology," Anthony Fauci
This is a stunning decision. Illinois State Supreme Court rules 6-0 in favor of gun rights in Cook County (Chicago).
The Illinois Supreme Court ruled on Oct. 21 that two taxes on guns and ammunition in Cook County violate the state’s constitution because they affect law-abiding citizens’ Second Amendment right to acquire firearms for self-defense.
Supreme Court Justice Mary Jane Theis wrote in a 6–0 decision that the taxes violate the constitution’s uniformity clause, while also pointing out that the revenue from the generated tax isn’t directed toward funds or programs that reduce gun violence. “While the taxes do not directly burden a law-abiding citizen’s right to use a firearm for self-defense, they do directly burden a law-abiding citizen’s right to acquire a firearm and the necessary ammunition for self-defense,” Theis wrote in a 14-page opinion (pdf) filed on Thursday. “Under the plain language of the ordinances, the revenue generated from the firearm tax is not directed to any fund or program specifically related to curbing the cost of gun violence,” she noted. “Additionally, nothing in the ordinance indicates that the proceeds generated from the ammunition tax must be specifically directed to initiatives aimed at reducing gun violence.”
When whips are outlawed only outlaws will have whips, at least in downtown Reno, NV.
The Reno City Council voted to ban the possession and use of whips without a permit in downtown Reno on Wednesday. Councilwoman Jenny Brekhus, who said she was not present when the ordinance was introduced, was the only no vote. Brekhus said that she wants the ordinance applied city-wide and expressed concern that as is, the ban targets certain demographics. City attorney Karl Hall explained that the ordinance is restricted to the downtown area because complaints to the police were concentrated in that area. He added that there may be areas outside of downtown where whips may be useful
Add one more thing I'm guilty of to my rap sheet. Middlebury hires counseling director who claims 'whiteness' is the cause of 'psychic suffering'
Last month, Middlebury College hired Alberto Soto to serve as its Director of Counseling. In an interview Soto told The Middlebury Campus that “source of all our psychic suffering,” are “whiteness, heteronormativity,” and “patriarchal systems”. “The body and mind cannot be healed solely by self-care and focusing on surviving,” Soto told the student newspaper. “At some point we must address and identify the source of all our psychic suffering, which is whiteness, heteronormativity, patriarchal systems, etc.” Soto earned his PhD in psychology at Brigham Young University, a conservative, Mormon institution.
I'm sorry fans of baseball, I just never got into that sport. But I find the World Series being played in the State of Georgia pretty damn satisfying.
ATLANTA — Atlanta is still seething that Major League Baseball stripped the All-Star Game away from their beloved city this summer. Well, politics or not, there’s absolutely nothing MLB can do to stop Atlanta now. Atlanta will host the World Series for the first time since 1999. The Braves knocked off the defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers, 4-2, winning the National League pennant Saturday night.

Repeat after me says Terry McAuliffe: Donald Trump was not reelected and Stacey Abrams is the governor of Georgia.
Virginia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe claimed that Stacey Abrams should be the governor of Georgia, accusing Brian Kemp (who ran for governor while also serving as secretary of state) of having "disenfranchised" more than 1 million Georgia voters in the state's 2018 gubernatorial election. "She would be the governor of Georgia today had the governor of Georgia not disenfranchised 1.4 million Georgia voters before the election," McAuliffe said as he introduced Abrams at a campaign event on Sunday. "That's what happened to Stacey Abrams. They took the votes away."

Genius Award Winner and Tonight's Feel Good Story of The Day all wrapped into one story.
A woman accused of participating in a drive-by shooting spree the morning of Sept. 30 died last week in a local hospital from the effects of a drug overdose she suffered in jail, Santa Fe police confirmed Monday. Officers learned during their investigation Brianna Romero, 20, died Oct. 10 at Presbyterian Santa Fe Medical Center, Deputy Chief Paul Joye said. Romero was one of three people arrested in the shooting, which damaged several apartment buildings and vehicles on Jaguar Drive and led to lockdowns at Capital High and other nearby schools. She and her sister, Deavonne Romero, 23, and 16-year-old Elijah Gallegos were charged with over a dozen felonies. After the arrests, Deavonne Romero was booked in the Santa Fe County jail, and Gallegos was sent to the San Juan County juvenile detention facility. But Brianna Romero was taken to Presbyterian Santa Fe Medical Center for treatment of an opioid overdose. It would be the first of two overdoses she experienced while in custody. After her arrest around 11 a.m. Sept. 30, Brianna Romero was placed in a holding cell at the Santa Fe Police Department’s headquarters on Camino Entrada, Joye said. Just after 12:30 p.m., he said, she was found unresponsive in her cell. Officers attempted lifesaving measures, including the administration of the anti-overdose drug naloxone, until emergency medical responders arrived, police reports say. Doctors at Presbyterian later discovered a bag of pills, which investigators suspected to be fentanyl, in a body cavity. Romero was released from the hospital at 5:45 p.m. that day after doctors provided medical clearance for her incarceration. She was booked into the jail two hours later, records show. The next morning, a guard found her unresponsive in her cell “approximately 20 minutes” after a previous guard check. She was taken to Presbyterian a second time and again was “revived with Narcan,” a Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office report says. But she was still suffering from cardiac events. A doctor found a bag with “clear crystals” in a body cavity.

At the MoMe, I noticed my lovely wife was engaged with another Horde member in very deep, serious discussion regarding hair care, coloring tips, products necessary to achieve the 'do the member was wearing, the relative pluses and minuses of various cutting methods and the straightening regimen necessary to achieve 'the look'. They disengaged and heartfelt hugs were exchanged.

Sadly, Murphy wins easily again by 5% points. NJ will never get better...like ever.
Virginia will be closer but not close enough - McAuliffe by 3% or perhaps 4% - all from NoVA, of course.
The Dems don't bring in Obama and then lose...that was to motivate the walking around money, meaning the cash that liberal donors supply - the benjis that get crack ho Tricksy and her pimp Huggy Bear to write out all the ballots that the Dems need to win at $1 a ballot - which I have heard from some lobbyist is the going rate.
Everyone knows that the Dems can't lost VA - the GOP isn't even sending money in or any big name GOP politicians to plump for Youngkin because that's not the deal here. VA is Dem territory - and the RNC knows it.

In other news, Smash kicked butt at her competition down in Foley, AL. 3rd place in weapons & open hand forms. 2nd place in sparring. She had five other age appropriate ladies, 40 - 64, in her division. And one ringer, a 31 year old lady that passed her black belt test the night prior.

By the way the article is written, it appears that both the Santa Fe PD and Sheriff's Office were involved. It is normally one or the other that has primary jurisdiction. And if the decedent was in a medical facility and found to have drugs hidden in a "body cavity" nothing should stop a search of all other body cavities for additional drug stashes by medical personnel. What a sad situation.
And the SFSO is the same outfit that is investigating the Alec Baldwin shooting. Zero confidence in the SO's ability to carry out the investigation properly. Sad!

Drove to Wendy's tonite, pitch dark, pouring rain. Half the street lights disabled for years, because of stupid city govt decisions. Bozos in black clothing stumbling in the streets, drunk and/or high and/or brainlessly defiant, not realizing or caring that drivers cannot see them. Anticipating one a block ahead of me, I turned on my brights. The fuck-knob deliberately sauntered right in front of my car as I approached. What a world.

Made the mistake of upgrading to Windows 11 this weekend. Aside from the stupid new initial layout that took a little time to undo, it had the nasty habit of shutting down all my applications whenever it went to sleep. Couldn't find any setting that would fix it (short of never letting it go to sleep).
So I've reverted to Windows 10, for now.

The four star thing is not in the military. Not in the military.
It is part of the commissioned core of the US public health service, a uniform service of the US government that is answerable to and part of the department of health and human services. They use military ranks as the US public health service ultimately derived from the Marine corps military medical service in the 1790s.
To get to play dress up and wear nice uniforms and get medals and ranks and benefits equivalent to the military service and all that shit but they are not part of the department of defense structure in any way shape or form.

Somebody gave me three old laptops, sans HDs, last week. Today I tinkered with the Toshiba 4090XDVD: i386 Centrino single-core, 64MB ram. I found a 21-year old HDD in my junkbox that had the appropriate carrier to fit the chassis. To my astonishment, it booted Win 98SE, and ran fast. But after 15 minutes, it halted with the 'truck backing up' beeping sound. I assume fan has failed, but it's not worth putting a new fan in. Next I try to resurrect two Gateway CX2720s, with somewhat more powerful CPU, and higher RAM capacity.

Amusingly, NOAA also has a uniformed commissioned officer core, around 380 officers to the US public health services 6500. NOAA is under the department of commerce if I recall correctly.
Neither service has any warrants or enlisted. Both, in theory, could be militarized by the president. But of course so can the post office, which is a uniformed but non-commissioned federal service.

Here's the deal with the AKMOME. I will set aside a week, so it can be a rolling festival. Over the next couple of weeks, I will post an email connection and collect tourist stuff for everyone, and then I will start collecting names or at least numbers. Depending on how many and how long, I will rent a yurt, or set aside some rooms locally, or something like that. Options are open at this time, but if we want to make this last a few days, more the better.
Salmon over the fire, always bacon, reindeer sausages, open bar (sort of, BYOB and pass it, dude, but we will bring local beers), we will hopefully have a well drilled and electric dropped, so bring your camper, or rent one, if you are adventurous and want to stay out on the site.

"Let's Go Brandon" ought to start using NOAA instead of internal polling to tell him which way the winds are blowing.
At least the weatherguessers are wrong only about 50% of the time. That's just "weather". They're pretty good with hurricane guessticating, and have a Circular Probability of Error measured in "Hemisphere" as to their being wildly wrong on all things "climate change".

If a computer has USB, and it's $10 or less, I'm willing to tinker with it. If it doesn't have USB, I won't bother. I won't connect any pre-Win7 computer to the internet; I'll def switch it to Linux before attempting to hook it to the general internet beyond my LANs.
But I'm a Luddite when it comes to smartphones. Don't have one. Here's a dumb question: Do any smartphones support USB?

They are setting up the armorer to be the fall gal for the Baldwin shooting, looks like. If you can believe what they're saying about her, she was pretty sloppy, but that should be on Baldwin as the producer more than anyone.
Latest I read was this armorer gal and other crew were using the guns for target practice, with real bullets. IOW, informally "checking out" the weapons, using them, and bringing them back. Which would explain how real ammo got mixed in.

I have a nice hunk of spodumene that I collected from an abandoned pegmatite quarry near Yellowknife, NWT. A deposit quite similar to that described in your link. Many of the other minerals likely to be found there have value, too. Mining such a deposit would be very much like quarrying for marble or granite.

There must have been gun safety training for legal cya. If not, that's on the producer, Baldwin. If arrogant Baldwin skipped it, that's on Baldwin. If Baldwin took the training and ignored the rules, thaT's on him.

There was a post by the gaffer on the Rust today which I just read. Name is Sergey Svetnoy. He claims he was standing next the woman when she was shot and was with her as she died. He blames the entire weapons dept, the armorer gal chief among them, but everyone else in the chain. Says they were not qualified and didn't know what they were doing and blames the "producers" ultimately for allowing this to go on.
I was sympathetic until the last, when he completely absolves Baldwin, saying he's a victim who will have to live with this for the rest of his life. I thought Baldwin was one of the producers. And he was the last man in the chain, and the one who pulled the trigger.
Yep, there is a full court press to absolve and protect Baldwin.

Baldwin was "the" producer, AFAIK. If the gunshot victim was the actor scheduled to be "shot" by Baldwin in the take of the scene, then maybe it could be passed off as a tragic accident. But when it's camera woman and AD who get shot, by the producer, after he blurts out, "maybe I should just shoot you!", then wanton recklessness enters the scene.

It looks like the Armourer is mostly responsible, but anyone in the chain of custody needs to be tested and up on charges if there is any evidence of any drugs. Just saying.
I also think Baldwin is not culpable in his role as actor, but is very culpable in his role as producer and the main person with authority on the set as the producer and star. He too needs to be drug tested.

I also think Baldwin is not culpable in his role as actor, but is very culpable in his role as producer and the main person with authority on the set as the producer and star. He too needs to be drug tested.

Every time I hear the phrase "reckless discharge of a firearm" (which is a criminal charge), I think of the great country ballad, "Bubba Shot the Jukebox".
The jukebox at a honky tonk played a sad song, which made Bubba cry (he was apparently having woman trouble), so he shot the jukebox.
The Sheriff charged Bubba with "reckless discharge of a firearm", to which Bubba replied, "Reckless hell! I hit where I was aimin'!"

Baldwin was NOT aiming the gun at the cinematographer. The stupid crew put in bullets that curved in flight. He's the victim here.

Nah, they can do hair samples, and witness testimony, and probably video evidence. But it has to be investigated and I doubt it will be.
My guess is that everyone was stoned. I feel that most people are mostly stoned nowadays. They all claim it cures all their ailments. But I have friends who smoked for 20 years, and now they all have psychological problems...

FWIW, I basically agree with you. The cops should have tested every person on site for drugs and alcohol, and searched their persons and accomodations, too. But that has to be done right from the git-go.

Unless you can prove Baldwin knew for a fact there were live rounds in the gun, and that he intended to fire live rounds at the victims, I don't think you can prove murder in a court of law.
But the facts, as so far presented, easily support a charge of manslaughter or negligent homicide.

I was reading about some incident on a set where real bullets were brought on. The scene called for an actor to pick some bullets off the ground. Some low-level somebody just brought some bullets on the set for that scene.
The armorer found out about it and shut the whole set down over it for days.

So only this season have they started using the name in Japan. They still use the number, but also the name. The worst part is that half the names are unpronounceable. chinese, vietnames, filipino, I never know what the hell they are trying to say. Todays typhoon is call maarou.. marrow? ma-lou? It is number 20.
How did things get so far out of control that people give names to weather systems. International committees. That's all it is, a grift for UN types to fly around and discuss shit on taxpayer expense accounts.

459 If the gunshot victim was the actor scheduled to be "shot" by Baldwin in the take of the scene, then maybe it could be passed off as a tragic accident. But when it's camera woman and AD who get shot, by the producer, after he blurts out, "maybe I should just shoot you!", then wanton recklessness enters the scene.

But this is kind of my point: anecdotal. One thing even about smoking (cigarette) studies: How many other environmental factors were affecting outcomes? If cigarette smoking was the cause of so many lung cancer deaths, there was a story I remember hearing that said that the rates of lung cancer incidence were INCREASING as cigarette usage went down.
The thing about smoking cigarettes- even 10 years ago, I could tell they were affecting lung function (which was a lot of the reason I quit.) But even that experience was anecdotal. Would continued use l have lead to COPD or Cancer? I dunno. It did not on my grandma on my mom's side or my Pappaw on my Dad's- and evidently he had been sneaking cigarettes from my uncle's ash tray right up til the end.

Yeah, definite lack of major, conclusive studies.
As far as *smoking* weed goes, IMO it's generally worse (puff for puff) than cigarettes/tobacco: no filter; you 'hold it in' longer; might have other illicit drugs added if not procured "legally"
On the other hand, one doesn't usually chain-smoke joints.
I don't care if people use pot. It's simply not for me.

system
*
I used it and it does... Something. For me it mostly just slightly hid the back pain and added another element while making sure that I paid for new equipment, electrodes, etc.
What actually worked in my case (lower back pain) was yoga. You can go to formal classes, but what I did was check out dvds and find the moves that helped. Lots of superman type stuff in my case. I added some standing up balance ones, too because why not.
Like any exercise it isn't overnight, but it really did help.
Another option is a single visit to a physical therapist to ask for advice on how to focus on the area and a printout of exercises. Get started today with yoga, though, and be in it for the long run. There's lots of pretty young things in tight pants online to show you how to do it.
