Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Woke Coca-Cola Congratulates The “Atlanta Champions” For Winning SomethingRemember a few months back when Woca-Cola sided with Major League Baseball in publicly condemning Georgia’s new voting integrity act? And how MLB then pulled the All-Star game from Atlanta? Concurrent with all that, the Atlanta Braves have been in the crosshairs of cancel culture for some time now because they have a Native American nickname, and also for their fans’ “tomahawk chop” chant. So, with woke America targeting them, the Braves just made it to the World Series and won it, with their fans enthusiastically tomahawk chopping throughout it all. So how did Coca-Cola celebrate the hometown team’s victory? Take a look at this woke masterpiece of a tweet.Nowhere does it mention “Braves” or even the sport of baseball. If the Red Sox won the World Series, would you see a major sponsor post a congratulatory tweet to the “Boston Champions”? Of course not. Coke is a sponsor of the Atlanta Braves, it’s products are sold at Braves games, and Coke sells plenty of co-branded gear in Atlanta. But for the woke national audience on Twitter, this is the face that Coca-Cola is presenting. For the record, this is what a real pennant for the “Atlanta Champions” looks like. Speaking of cancel culture and the Braves, how about baseball writer Bob Nightengale of USA Today. He is so stunning and so brave for refusing to use the “Atlanta baseball team’s nickname.” But just five days early he used “Atlanta Braves” in a tweet. Journalists like @BNightengale deserve hearty mockery, and Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

Let's not forget the Braves themselves banned the styrofoam tomahawks in game 5 against the Cardinals in 2019 when a Cardinal reliever of 'Indian descent' was 'offended.' the Braves proceeded to go down 10-0 in the first inning and lose the series.
Before the games, they play video of Indians in the mountains supporting the Braves in the nearest reservations. We'll see if this weird tight rope they're walking works or not. I'd imagine if you can't call a team 'the indians', we probably will have to wipe every reference to them eventually. Posted by: BacktoGA at November 10, 2021 06:46 PM (MPYWI) 16

Both iron and aluminum oxidize in air. The difference is that aluminum oxide adheres to the metallic aluminum underneath, protecting it from further oxidation, whereas iron oxide does not do the same for metallic iron, so the oxidation continues.

70 Dirt Worshippers
Posted by: Al Swearengen at November 10, 2021 07:00 PM (QEsfM) 125
We switched to zero sugar 7UP and Canada Dry ginger ale. I liked Coke Zero, but it seems the caffeine free variety has been discontinued.
That still doesn't mean that Woca-Cola doesn't suck as a company, which is why we said goodbye. And the fact that 7UP is $1.25 per 2-liter vs. $1.96 for Coke products at WalMart is definitely an added incentive--especially when you drink as much of it as we do.

Just reading the latest post by Berenson on his Substack. You know this "Long Covid" thing? Well, it's most likely bullshit. French study of 27K people. Guess what they found. A lot of people who think they had Covid claim to have long symptoms. But they actually tested them all to determine if they had antibodies and were really infected. Guess what. No difference between those actually infected and the general population in terms of these "long symptoms". They strongly correlate with people who think they had Covid. The only long term effect that seems to be real is long term loss of smell and taste. IOW, "Long Covid" is just in the heads of the hysterical Covid Karens.

Mello Yello is still around in Tennessee and North Carolina. But the reason it's around is because Sun Drop is so popular in those parts. Mello Yello is Coke's Sun Drop rip off. It's kind of like how Anheuser Busch introduced Michelob Amber Bock to compete with Shiner Bock in Texas.

Posted by: Ben Had at November 10, 2021 07:08 PM (xOvFO) ------------------ You don't need sunlight, but it accelerates the process through photochemical reduction of the Fe(III) tris(oxalato) complex in a reaction that was (maybe still is) used to measure total incident light (the ferrioxalate actinometer). Only thing is, it only works on red rust (ferrite, Fe2O3), not on black (i.e., aged) corrosion, which is magnetite, Fe3O4), the same stuff on magnetic recording tape. If the situation admits of it, dilute HCl (CLR) can work wonders on rust, but of course, it can't be used on some things that would be damaged by it.

Derived from rhubarb.
Posted by: Miley, the Duchess - #SuperStraight at November 10, 2021 07:12 PM (Mzdiz) ----------------- Yep. Also found in quantity in spinach. Note that oxalic acid (and sodium oxalate) are poisonous, chelating Ca(II) which is involved in muscle contractions - such as in the heart. Also doesn't do the kidneys any favors. Spinach doesn't have all that much in it (don't know about rhubarb), so you'd have to eat a hell of a lot of spinach to have a problem.

Posted by: Notorious BFD at November 10, 2021 06:49 PM (Xrfse) Sports journalism was ruined decades ago by some writers at Sports Illustrated (Frank Deford, for one), Bob Costas, and NBC Olympic programming. They made sports into MORE THAN A GAME, that mere mortals could barely understand: The tiny distilleries and timeworn caddies in Scotland when the British Open was played, that you yokels in Nebraska couldn't ever appropriately appreciate; Baseball as the timeless, perfect sport with heroes long dead who will never be equaled, making baseball a near supernatural experience for the True Fans, who only reside in tiny areas of New York City; Olympic sports became contests between groups of athletes who had all lost a parent at age 2, yet persevered in life, leaving their cold hovels at 2 AM to do back-breaking menial labor for ten hours to feed the family, then training for ten hours using worn-out equipment (to get women to watch).

In the late 80s I was stationed in Nebraska. Grew up in W.PA. Would try to visit once or twice a year. On one of my trips I stopped off for the night and went to go find something to eat. I saw an A&W drive in. Just pull the car up near a speaker, order, and out would come a cheeseburger, fries, and an A&W root beer. I think It was in Illinois somewhere. I haven't seen something like that anywhere else. I'm sure they are out there though. Food was pretty good. Ordered a root beer float too, also good.

Despite being classified as a respiratory virus, it seems both Covid and the vaxx have a significant effect on blood.
I am just spitballing but I read one of last papers touted by former NIH director Collins (Fauci's titular boss). In this paper, the researchers found that vaxx better latched onto ACE2 receptors than did the original virus spike. Instead, natural resistance antibodies created from an infection were less focused on the Covid spike reception mechanism but more focused on attacking other proteins in the virus. This is what could be causing problems along with direct administration of the vaxx into blood vessels rather than muscle by errors in administration of it.

With frozen nuts (?) another strategy is to cut a notch in the side of the nut with a dremel and a cutoff wheel, then slide the blade of a screwdriver into the notch and smack the end of the screwdriver with a hammer (so as to turn the nut a bit). That can loosen a nut up enough make it amenable to conventional methods.

Posted by: Ben Had at November 10, 2021 07:32 PM (xOvFO) One thing you could try, heating the rust zone electrically. Grind a clean patch on the pin, and clamp on a Vise grip pliers secure to the clean patch. Grind a clean patch on the sleeve in which the pin is jammed, and clamp on another Vise grip. Find a tractor with one of those big old Cat batteries in it, or maybe a semi-truck tractor. Wearing gloves and safety glasses, use a heavy-duty set of jumper cables to hook the battery to the two Vice grips. There will be sparks. Leave it connected for only a few seconds, ten seconds tops. This is Hell on the battery. But the interface between the pin and the sleeve should be the highest resistance in the circuit, and most of the heat will occur there. A heavy-duty electric welder could sub for the Cat battery. Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at November 10, 2021 07:46 PM (P3gRi) Posted by: J.
