St. Patrick's Cafe

Leprechaun Lane

Giants Causeway, Ireland

Barry Butler Photography

IrishEi says Giants Causeway is great but the nearby Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge is the one you shouldn't miss.

I arise today, through

The strength of heaven,

The light of the sun,

The radiance of the moon,

The splendor of fire,

The speed of lightning,

The swiftness of wind,

The depth of the sea,

The stability of the earth,

The firmness of rock.

-- Part of "St. Patrick's Breastplate," a prayer/hymn asking for protection. Called a "lorica" type prayer because it invokes a kind of armor of God. ("Lorica" being a Latin word for cuirass or breastplate, and seen in the name of "Lorica Segmnetata," segmented armor. Also seen in Lorica Hamata, or Roman chain mail.

According to legend, St. Patrick said this prayer during an ambush by an Irish king.

To be honest it sounds like more of a spell than a prayer, but that's just the part I excerpted. The rest of it is mostly about Jesus and the Trinity.

One horsepower car.

Panda enjoying a spa.

Pandas sure do live the life of Reilly.

Must be nice.

Must.

Be.

Nice.

This dog's got it, and isn't afraid to flaunt it.

Puppy doesn't really understand "sharing" yet. Check out the move he pulls at the end. He's a regular Dusty Bottoms.

In case you missed it: Happy penguin wants hugs.

Cat wants his "Me Space."

If these dogs attack you, you'll... well you'll probably be fine. Your sweater might get a little slobbery, though.

Those who remember this old cartoon might enjoy seeing the real life version.

Oh no he didn't.

19 240 I have this half baked pet theory that a lot of problems are due to the lack of good narrative. Let me explain:

In film, tv, drama, etc, the Good Guys are never all that good, and the Bad Guys are always either misunderstood or nuanced or whatever. There is nowhere culturally to go for strong archetypes of Good Guys and Bad Guys. So when people look at real life, they aren't able to immediately see that a person completely fits the archetype of a Bad Guy, like a Fauci or a Biden. The alarms never go off, because they were never set in the first place.
It's a bit like life following art, instead of the other way around.
Put another way: "Politics is downstream from culture."

Yeah, doesn't matter what it is - they do that for everything. Pretty much anybody who's right of Lenin has their videos hidden.

I'd really like to do something about twatter. It ticks me off that our town PD/FD uses them to "communicate" with the public (that should be illegal IMHO) - and I am blocked from that information. Want to know about a rash of break-ins or street closures? Tough shit, twatter wants you to register/log in, unless you're one of those sub-humans we blocked for potentially hurting somebody's feelings. I know I'm not alone here, I'd love to see a class action lawsuit.

40 A comment on that one horsepower said a horse can really be 15HP, a human can be one HP. ? idk, but TRACTION is key ... four hooves digging in is greater than four tires slipping. (especially when the horse lifts the car ... more traction for horse, no traction for car) ...

69 28 Some MOD mouthpiece was on the BBC this morning saying the Russians are losing and only have about 3 weeks before they collapse."

We've been talking about how impossible it is to know what is actually happening right now; but as best as I can infer from comparing stories, it looks to me like both sides are losing at the same time. (not that hard to do; wars where everyone loses are quite common) I do not say that optimistically; I think that makes this situation even more dangerous, since both sides will be getting desperate and willing to do desperate things.

212 Right, so I took tomorrow off and I might have been drinkin' a wee bit tonight. There's a tale to tell, what relevance to the late unpleasantness should be obvious by the end.

As some of the hobby threaders know I've been learning to play Warhammer 40k lately. I make no claim to being competitive tier, but I did read up on some effective army lists and strategies and did well for a few matches. By which I mean, the glorious Necron army royally jacked up the other guys--tabled on turn 3 or 4. That result relied heavily on my ability to use one particularly dangerous infantry unit in a hyper-aggressive first strike to break the back of the enemy army at the critical moment and then mop up. Blitzkrieg, or shock and awe for the kiddies.

Anyway, the last game didn't go as planned. I went in too confident and sent the angry blob of warriors ahead of the boss character who's supposed to look after them (i.e. C3/logistics). The other guys put up more of a melee fight than I expected, meanwhile their other units took down the said boss character who *really* needs to be supporting that frontline unit for anything to work right.

216 (cont.)

So my mighty and unstoppable robot zombie assault petered out on turn 2, and the overall army effectiveness was crippled in turn 3 when the dude who made the magic happen got capped in the dome by another dude with a really big gun. The remaining dudes dug in for a protracted fight, but with no way to actually achieve victory and the store about to close I conceded defeat on turn 5. Epic fail, and I totally did it to myself by overcomitting a one trick pony, not properly supporting the said pony, and not having much of a Plan B if things didn't go just as planned.

In other words, this too is the story of Ukraine.

the current Irish feeling is:

"Having a monarchy next door is a little like having a neighbour who's really into clowns and has daubed their house with clown murals, displays clown dolls in each window and has an insatiable desire to hear about and discuss clown-related news stories.
"More specifically, for the Irish, it's like having a neighbour who's really into clowns and, also, your grandfather was murdered by a clown.
"Beyond this, it's the stuff of children's stories. Having a queen as head of state is like having a priate or a mermaid or Ewok as head of state. What's the logic? Bees have queens, but the queen bee lays all of the eggs in the hive. The queen of the Briton has laid just four British eggs, and one of those is the sweatless creep Prince Andrew, so it's hardly deserving of applause.

Get this. Trump officials were skeptical of that CIA op in Eastern Ukraine. They were worried that CIA operatives might actually get in combat with Russians.

But, they concluded it did fall within "historically acceptable guidelines for proxy wars". Now, whether Trump himself knew any of this, who knows, and what his people actually told him about it, who knows?

But basically, the CIA has been poking Russia in the eye in Ukraine for 8 years.

And get this. While that op in the east was the most provocative agin' Russia, the CIA was training Uke forces all through the country for an insurgency against Russia for years.

It was like they knew Russia was going to invade, maybe even wanted Russia to invade, and were setting the stage for it. For years.

369 >>I don't for a second think "these experts" knew anything. More like they thought "they knew better" and had their collective asses handed to them.

Of course they knew. It has been well know by NATO and Russia for decades where the lines were drawn about NATO expansion.

We have a State Department full of highly paid, Ivy Leagued degreed geniuses who have been immersed in this since their freshman year in college. I'm a random moron and I knew this and you're telling me nobody in government knew this? Bullshit.

Putin even reinforced this at the NATO Summit in Bucharest in 2008. No Georgia and no Ukraine in NATO and if that wasn't enough he gave the west an abject lesson later in 2008 when Biden was still in the Senate in Georgia.

They all knew and they still did it.

One thing I admire about the Russian intellect is that they are blunt and for the most part honest about their intentions. They are ruthless but you usually know where the red lines are you know what happens when you cross them.

When a Russian tells you he will punch you in the face if you do something it's best not to do it unless you are ready to punch back. Far too many of our white gloved diplomats have never been punched in the face.

After watching that MacGregor interview, I went back and watched one that featured some Russian History prof who laid it all out nicely and how "our side" ignored previous agreements, which apparently mean nothing.
