The Quotes of The Day


Quote I

‘No one wants to be sitting in this chair,’Unidentified potential juror Kyle Rittenhouse trial.

Bull Shit!

Quote II


"There’s something happening out here, it could be just anti-incumbent, I think that’s a part of it. But I think that there’s something else that's happening. I think the Democrats are coming across in ways that we don’t recognize, that are annoying and offensive and seem out of touch in ways that I don’t think show up in our feeds when we're looking at our kind of echo chamber. And I think that this is a message here." Van Jones


Quote III

"Throughout this deployment our focus has been on integrating game-changing capabilities from across the commando force to deliver disproportionate effect in the face of a free-thinking peer adversary," Lt. Col. Andy Dow


Quote IV

“I believe the COVID vaccine is a greater threat to soldiers’ health and military readiness than the virus itself,” U.S. Army aerospace physician Lt. Col. Theresa Long

The SCOTUS has been actively avoiding gun cases. Is there hope on the horizon for moar freedom in New York?

WASHINGTON, Nov 3 (Reuters) - Conservative U.S. Supreme Court justices on Wednesday appeared ready to shoot down New York state's limits on carrying concealed handguns in public in a major gun rights case that could imperil various firearms restrictions nationally.

While appearing united in their skepticism about the constitutionality of the state's law, some of the conservative justices expressed concern about how a ruling invalidating it might affect prohibitions on guns in sensitive places such as schools, sports stadiums and crowded public gatherings.

The court heard about two hours of arguments in an appeal by two gun owners and the New York affiliate of the National Rifle Association, an influential gun rights group closely aligned with Republicans, of a lower court ruling throwing out their challenge to the state's law, enacted in 1913.

Too soon? Rockers die at ABBA concert.

CONCERT TRAGEDY Two killed at Abba tribute gig after man falls seven floors killing concert-goer below

TWO people have died and another has been injured after an elderly man fell seven floors at an Abba tribute concert.

The man, who was in his 80s, fatally wounded another after landing in the open foyer on the ground floor just 30 minutes before the gig was due to start at the Uppsala Konsert & Kongress, Stockholm, Sweden.


Lighten up. It's been a long day.


I said, "It's been a long day." I didn't say it was a bad day.

A fellow was fishing with two friends in Brasilandia de Minas, Brazil when a swarm of bees arrived. They jumped into the lake to escape but the first man never made it to shore. Yep, piranhas. From 7News.com:

The fire department was called and an officer was about to dive into the lake when he was informed it was filled with piranhas.

Wow! I'm stunned. GOP Senate shows fortitude. Something unusual.

Senate Republicans will formally nullify Biden’s vaccine mandate – report

Resistance to President Joe Biden’s employer vaccine mandate is growing as the administration puts the finishing touches on the order that threatens workers with the loss of their livelihoods if they decline to be jabbed.

It is expected that the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the agency that will be tasked with enforcing Biden’s dictatorial edict, will soon make the formal announcement, increasing pressure on Americans who are already being battered by inflation and shortages just before the holiday season to submit or be fired.

Shouldn't the funeral director directed the body to a institute of higher learning?

Family of man dissected at autopsy event says they didn’t give consent

The family of David Saunders, who was dissected in front of a live audience in Portland, says they didn’t know his body would be used that way.

Well ladies, you can't have it both ways. For years you have abused men. And the good ones said "F*ck it", I don't need a college education.

A lack of male university students has caused what has been dubbed ‘Golden Penis Syndrome’ in men who develop inflated egos due to the amount of interest their female peers show in them.

The term, coined by students at Sarah Lawrence College in New York and later popularized by American journalist Jon Birger, applies to heterosexual men on predominantly female college campuses.

Nearly 60% of college students in the US are women, while 40% are men, according to the National Student Clearinghouse.

As studies have shown, college-educated women are more likely to date similarly educated partners. With such skewed numbers, college-educated men have become a hot commodity, allowing such men to become arrogant, thinking a steady supply of women will always be available to them.

Heroin addicts are chanting, "Let's Go Brandon!"

A viral story published by Vice News exposed a new problem faced by those who are unfortunately addicted to heroin: Their drug of choice is being replaced with Chinese fentanyl, and it started in September.
In a piece of impressive length featuring interviews with an equally impressive number of heroin addicts and experts, Vice News broke the news that there is apparently a nationwide heroin shortage. It does not appear to be caused by Joe Biden’s supply chain shortage, however.

Quite the challenge. Quite the Genius Award Winner.

Student could face ten years for TikTok Challenge

COVINGTON, LA – An 18-year-old high school student is facing felony charges for punching a teacher, not just any teacher, but one that is disabled. The police believe the attack was due to a TikTok Challenge.

Most people have heard of TikTok Challenges, wherein someone does something for laughs or otherwise, and then many, many other people do the same thing.

Most of the challenges are not harmful, but there are some that are, like the Tide Pod Challenge.

Good news on the fight against Alzheimer's Disease. Tonight's Feel Good Story of The Day.


A study has managed to reverse the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease in mice by administering drugs currently used to treat hypertension and inflammation in humans.

In this study, scientists at IRB Barcelona led by Dr. Aloy have characterized three stages of Alzheimer’s disease, namely initial, intermediate, and advanced.

For each of these stages, they have analyzed the behavior of the animals, studied the effects on the brain (specifically the hippocampus at the tissue level), and performed a molecular analysis to measure gene expression and protein levels.

34 Something fascinating is happening with the BBB/Reconciliation Bill. (the Big One) For weeks, House Democrats have been trying to negotiate a compromise with Manchin that could past in the Senate. But over the last 72 hours, that has changed, and Pelosi has started putting back in almost every piece of the Left's wish list, and all negotiations with Manchin have stopped.

It's very clear what's happened - both sides have abandoned the idea of a compromise bill. The House is going to pass a big Left Wing Wish List bill, and then it will be killed in the Senate - no chance for it to pass. (just like the voting "rights" bill, which died today)

I think this is a WONDERFUL turn of events!

43 Yet another DoD employee sought me out today to commiserate about the complete lack of leadership concerning this Covid crapola. I am the lightening rod now, having spoken out publicly about how poorly we are being treated by those who are in positions of "power." We decided that, aside from being told maybe I should go find work elsewhere, and being told that "I'm Catholic and nobody told me not to get the vaccine," the really stupidest part was leadership saying that they would support the workforce either way, meaning either getting the shot or "finding work elsewhere." Some damned support.

If the brass were to grow a spine, we wouldn't recognize them any more.

Deadline is still 22 Nov.

101 A lack of male university students has caused what has been dubbed "Golden Penis Syndrome" in men who develop inflated egos due to the amount of interest their female peers show in them.

Utterly predictable. When campuses were 60% male/40% female, any woman who wanted a boyfriend could get one, and males had to treat women respectfully.

At 60% female/40% male, a lot of women who want a boyfriend can't get one, and the incentives for males to behave badly are much higher. Explains all the sexual assault claims on college campuses - almost all the ones I've read about are women filing charges after their boyfriend dumped them.

I've also heard that a lot of colleges are now practicing a form of affirmative action for men - the schools' belief is that if the campus is more than 60% female, a lot of women won't want to attend, so they have to make special efforts to get men to enroll.

Had a dental appointment today, and at the end of the session, the dentist and hygienist and I got to talking about the case of Whu FLu I contracted back in Jan 2020.
I mentioned that I had been suffering from symptoms of Long Covid, and that in desperation I used the FLCCC protocol in hopes that it would help me (it did, it's a miracle).
Anyway, neither of these two folks had heard of Ivermectin, hadn't heard of the FDA and CDC putting the kibosh on it.
The dentist went back to his office and actually looked up FLCCC, and said that he would be reading the material tonight.
Even though they made me jump through hoops (mask, questionnaire, special rinse prior to starting the cleaning), they were open to hearing about alternatives to the Clot Shot.
Amazing that the weren't aware of Ivermectin and it's uses, but even more amazing that they were willing to discuss alternative therapies without prejudice or recrimination.

Say each test costs $40 to run. You get 10 samples in. Doing them individually costs $400. If they are all negative, you have just blown 400 bucks.

Blend samples of the ten together, run one test. If it comes back negative, you are done. Nobody has the Coof. You have just saved $360. If the "bulk" sample comes back positive, make two groups of five, and test each. One comes back negative; there's five folks who don't have the Coof. You've spent $40 at this point.Then you individually test the five from the second group. That costs $200. You have just found your positive cases for $240, instead of $400.

The theory behind it is to save on testing and make testing a large pool of people fast and efficient.

You mix all the samples together, test if it comes back negative you clear the entire group, if it comes back positive, you do further testing.

Ya know, I remember back in the '90s, some conservatives were pushing for "Flowers for Algernon" to be banned from schools because of the parts discussing sexuality. I thought that was ridiculous at the time (and still do), but look how different things are now. The schools stock gay pornos with pictures of dudes sucking each other off and everything, the whole magilla, and parents who object are treated like common criminals for their audacity.

I was on a survey job doing measurements for a fiber optic route along the Union Pacific RR across Wyoming one Winter. Nothing but freezing cold, wind, impassable snow drifts, wind, ravines choked with dead antelope or mule deer buried alive by snow. Did I mention wind?

One thing I did learn was that the rails do sing. The sound of the metal wheels on the steel rails is beautiful. The whole bed of rails bounces one to feet as the train rushes past. Watching a train coming at you in the distance throwing snow on either side of the engine is another majestic site.

You need a strategy for increasing the number of resident kitties before the end of the month or year. Set a schedule to scope out the shelters or wherever you plan to acquire your next pet and stick with it. Get the food lined up when it is appropriate to do so. Then enjoy your new pet(s)!

Here is an idea: Hybrid Photography. You use the film of your choice in the roll film camera of your choice. Say it's 35 mm, which I expect would be the most used. So you shoot off a roll of Ektachrome, pop it into a little tabletop machine the size of a microwave oven, along with a cartridge that contains all the necessary chemicals for the Ektachrome process. The machine, which is fully automated, develops and fixes the film, dries it, and scans each frame at high resolution, displays the image on a screen, and stores each scan on a large solid-state drive. You could network the machine to a computer, photo-quality printer, or just display a slide show on a big-screen TV. The film could rolled into another cassette for archival purposes, or cut and put into slide mounts, or sent to a pro photo lab to have quality eleargements made.

The impression I get is that it mostly goes the other way - that interested males flee when they find out about the $200,000 in debt you acquired getting that master's in sociology.

Two-thirds of student debt is held by women - nearly a trillion dollars. Men are less inclined to acquire a six-figure debt for a largely useless degree.

387 Two-thirds of student debt is held by women - nearly a trillion dollars. Men are less inclined to acquire a six-figure debt for a largely useless degree.

This is blamed on sexism, of course. Women, you see have to have "more education" to make as much as men. They are also more likely to go to for-profit colleges.

Of course, a lot of that is that men are more likely to take tough jobs like electrical lineman, water treatment plant technician, or being the guy unloading the trucks at the chain supermarket in the middle of the night. Might explain part of the alleged wage gap.

Tomorrow is health and welfare check ups on Mom & Dad. Dad got relocated against his will down to Mom's place last month. According to Mom, he's scatter brained. I think he's just tired of her shit after being married to her since '45.

At least i can distract him with some scout___ around the ranch for the cougar (cat, you asshoes. Get yer mind out of the gutter) that has been stalking Mom. When i first spotted his sign, i noticed a 4" front paw print. Maybe i'll get a shot at him. Maybe not.

There are not a lot of opportunity to meet a plumber's apprentice or a master electrician when you are in college. After college, there again are not a lot of social settings other than bars to meet people or work. If you are religious there might be a social setting.

Re vaccinating kids: I was just reading a piece trying to figure out the NNTV, the number needed to vaccinate (the equivalent of NNT for vaccines), for children in the 5 - 11 age group.

Pfizer's so-called clinical trial for children tells you nothing, because there was not one single severe case of Covid in either the treatment or placebo group. That shows you how small the risk is. A little over 2000 kids total and not one single.

Anyway, the NNTV for children appears to be, wait for it, about 631K. That is, you need to vaccinate 630 thousand children to prevent one death.

Meeting is one thing. Failing to do an appropriate job of discovery during the dating phase is then (mostly) on that individual. I know a few people who decided to ignore things during the dating phase, and then found out things they overlooked weren't going to go away, and in fact tended to get worse.

Crazy tends to not hide well if you take the blinders off. Don't go looking for faults as we all have them, but ignoring the tire fire in you face is a recipe for disaster.

What about NNTVs for adults. We've got hard data to calculate that on. Note you can calculate NNTVs based on infection, symptomatic infection, severe cases, and deaths, with increasing values for each.

The NNTV for symptomatic cases for adults is about 256.

Now, how about deaths. Well, some Kraut researchers did an analysis of Israeli data and concluded the NNTV there is about 16K. The 95% confidence interval is 9K - 100K.

So they KNOW there will be a HUGE Tort sometime for this... as they have flat out lied about it... and lying will kill their legal immunity.

Thus, they need to get everyone to get the vaccine, so there is not a large control group of the UN Vaxxed. Then they can play the stats off as something else... like they did with Gulf War Syndrome.

547 A friend of mine was murdered not too long ago. I was thinking about her as I was at her old AO and visiting some of our old haunts. As I had an adult beverage or two, I was talking to a young lady about my friend and her friends that I used to know around these parts. Lo and behold, she whipped out her phone and had a picture from 2007 of herself, my friend and another lady I used to know drinking and having a great time one evening.

When she showed me the picture, my knees almost buckled like I was hit with a left hook or something.

I asked her to send her picture and any others to my deceased friend's family and we proceeded to swap stories of friends we have known and lost that we both knew.

Technology is a wonderful and painful thing some times.

Posted by: a dude in MI


We use pellet stove as primary heat source. Gas not piped in at our house, so can't say about savings.

Pellets are $4-$5 per bag here, and we'll use about 1.5 bags per day in coldest weather to heat half the ~1500 sq ft house. Must use space heaters (2 for us) to supplement in areas far from stove.

Personally? Would rather have the GFA furnace with ductwork to all rooms and a set-and-forget thermostat!

As a young kid, I was crazy about Apollo. I can remember vaguely watching the Apollo 17 launch actually. IIRC, it was delayed until way late, an my mother woke me up to see it. I was fussy, but I can conjure a mental image of seeing that Saturn V blasting off.

Looking up the history, Apollo 17 was the first night launch (the last mission was the first night launch), and there was some glitch in some hardware that caused an automatic countdown shut off at the T -30 s mark.

That caused a 2 hr 40 minute delay, and it finally lifted off at 12:33 am.

Yep, I remember seeing that.

627 "What are your memories of songs with your mom in the car?"

I have a weird memory of a family car trip from Texas to Boston to visit grandparents. And a song played on the radio about a town where "the streets were lined with bricks, of Acapulco Gold".

And I had no idea what Acapulco Gold was for a good 10-12 more years. But it stuck in my head. That would have been about '55-'57 probably.

Gas would be cleaner and less effort, imo. Easier to control temp.

Burning pellets creates ash-- not as much as wood, for sure-- but you'll still need to shut down periodically for clean up/maintenance.

Unless you want to make trip after trip to purchase the bags, you'll need to buy by the ton (pallet of 50 bags) and store them *somewhere* dry. Pack n stack, lol!

Good luck, whichever way you go!

This is written by a female so given the subject matter and the state of journalism we can expect at least half of this to be made up and the other half lies.

What's happened is the guys who do make it into college (deciding to go, being qualified and then getting in all are separate trials) are probably just a bit hipper than the average jock or nerd that gets into college and somehow finds their attractive to the girls. So they go overboard but I'd bet most of them cast a jaundiced eye at the sudden popularity and decide to be choosy since they have choices and this gal was on the wrong end of one.

Hah, indeed. Just came from the bar. ESPN was on a TV there. Apparently Aaron Rodgers is off the roster for the Packers because of the Covids. Evidently he claimed to be "immunized" but did not claim to be "vaccinated". By so doing, he has now caused the Packers, and ESPN to admit that the "vaccine" does not immunize. Mischief is important. We need more of this.

Mother and paternal grandmother are home. (Thankfully, for both parents, both of their mothers-in-law were great to them.) I want to talk to Mom and "Gramma Alice". "Shhh, the hearings are on", my mother says. I had no idea WTF "hearings" were but I watched for a moment and then went to play with toys or whatever. I also remember watching news footage of the fall of Saigon, delivered by Uncle Walter. My father was a Cronkite man and we were a CBS household.

720 Today cuban cigars are not as good as central American cigars. The ban cost us Americans nothing but created new and better cigar makers. Oddly enough any cuban cigar i may have smoked was probably fake and just as good as the real thing.

Cuban cigars are cheap in Cuba. Not just because what you might think.

The workers are effectively allowed to steal cigars for private sale (but not to Cubans, no money or ration coupon for that).

732 USNtakim just in the early stages of exploring the cigar thing, the impression is that the embargo has created major industries in the DR, Nicaragua, Honduras, even Ecuador and Mexico, and given that in Brazil a boost. From the fields to the factories, seems like it must have had a lot of economic impact.

Also seems like it's a golden age for cigars, the variety of tobaccos and blends has created an astonishing breadth and quality, with new blending artists emerging all the time.

738 redc the number of "Cuban seed" tobaccos used, grown all over, is bewildering. And already I've stumbled across (reading, not smoking) hybrids they've created for specific qualities.

756 USN, have yet to burn a Perdomo, but early days - and I've got one or two on my "to try" list already. As with gun stores, I feel an obligation to throw them some business - as they're persecuted entities in this idiotic state/country - so I am making an effort to research and then try singles from my favorite local (owner also swims at the same pool as I do). Plus, it's a great place, with a dangerous crowd (amazing how such a "diverse" clientele seems remarkably white supremacist, insurrectionist, and extremist).

As I develop favorites I'll stalk sales online, as the savings would be quite substantial. If you know what you want, pretty amazing how inexpensively you can get them.
