Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | The Stars At Night Are Big And Bright, Deep In The Heart Of The ONT!Evening Horde! Now, I know most of y'all come to the ONT breathlessly anticipating my take on things. “That Dave, he's a good egg” you say with your Thursday morning coffee, “I sure can't wait until tonight when I can bask in his wisdom on the ONT”. I know you wait all week for my commentary. I have accepted the awesome responsibility of telling you how to think (Me and Mika Brzezinski, 2 peas in a pod, we are) and I don't take that lightly. But unfortunately today I almost tore my ring finger off transplanting an apple tree, and it hurts a bit to type, so tonight we're going big on links and small on commentary. Yay! We can start with some content for AtC: ![]() Today's Conspiracy Theory ![]() Right click and open in a new tab to embiggen The respected academic said: “There are tens of thousands of aid workers around the world with paedophile tendencies, but if you wear a UNICEF T-shirt nobody will ask what you’re up to.Tell me again why we should be suborning our national sovereignty to the UN. Of course, the author of the following piece probably thinks that 60,000 rapes are a good thing. Yes, kink belongs at Pride. And I want my kids to see it. She likes exposing her kids to perverts at pride parades. She thinks watching them get their perv on it public is a valuable lesson for her kids, teaching them to be “authentic” and “comfortable with who they are”. She would probably opine that the UN rapes teach the poor kids in war torn African nations valuable lessons about how life is nasty, brutish and short. Undoubtedly the younger they learn to deal with rape trauma, the more complete people they will be. I can not believe where we are as a society on perversion, how fast we've fallen back towards the norm. Remember, child sexual abuse has historically been quite common. WE are the anomaly, here in the west, due to the influence of Christianity. It's not something I want to regress on. Protect the Children: The scary reality involving sexual abuse of the truly vulnerable. Not Quite “Live! Laugh! Love!” In The Bedroom
![]() It was the first day back from a four-day weekend and Smither had not been accounted for that day. Smither had spent the previous week reporting to sick call and Womack Army Medical Center with severe headaches, nausea and sensitivity to light, for which he was prescribed medication and placed on quarters, after hitting his head on the radiator of a vehicle in the motor pool. Shortly before 3 p.m. Smither’s team leader, a specialist, asked the duty desk at the barracks for the keys to Smither’s room, according to a redacted Army Criminal Investigation Division (CID) report obtained by Task & Purpose. There, they discovered Smither’s body on the floor of the barracks room. According to the CID report, one of the soldiers present checked for a pulse, but it was fruitless: Smither was dead and had been for some time. It was the first time anyone had actually seen or checked on Smither in at least five days — and his family is demanding the Army answer: why?Just a sad and tragic story all the way around. Rest in Peace Pvt. Smither. May your senseless death lead to reforms that ensure such a thing can not happen again. The War On Elon Elon Musk isn't the villain the left needs, but he's the villain they deserve Lowry has plenty to say about Musk, not all of it glowing, but in terms of the current debate over the possibility of him controlling Twitter, he makes one clear point. Musk represents “a clear and present danger to the use of Twitter as a one-sided instrument to impose progressive rules on the public debate.”The left clearly thinks of Twitter as their ballpark and are mad to try and prevent real life from leaking into their bubble. Thursday Night Nostalgia I saw a discussion on another forum, people were talking about their first handheld video games. You had folks talking about their Switch, or their Game Boy, etc. I decided that the category was “first handheld electronic game” and so I decided to whip this bad boy on them: ![]() ![]() ![]() Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

That 14.9 SOP is well over the .50 cal. bore size limit set by the ATF, so it'll be a Destructive Device, requiring the appropriate licenses. Both the manufacturer's license, and the license for the end user.
Add an explosive projectile, and now each and every round will require a $200 ATF tax stamp of it's very own. I'd think an adapter for the M-2 .50 cal's traversing tripod would be the perfect firing platform for the thing, though. And no, I'm not volunteering my shoulder to the enterprise, even with enough muzzle brake on it to silence Meghan McCain.

Point of Order
Ukraine has a Navy. Their flagship was scuttled by their own sailors. Most of their ships have been captured by the Russians. But a small branch of the Navy has Anti-Ship missiles, and used them. How much we helped is probably Top Secret. But we has A USN P-8 from NAS Sigonella, Sicily in the area, and there was E-3 Sentry support earlier. Cdr Salamander has a post on this.

That's 18 incidents, spread over more than a year. I honestly don't know how many food processing plants there are in America, but I'm willing to bet that 18 is only a minuscule fraction of them."
yeah, I've seen this too, about fires in general, not just food processing plants. And just in the last couple days, Russia had a military research facility burn AND some chemical plant burn. But before I dismiss the 18 fires as a minuscule fraction, I'd want more info. Fires in general are miniscule fractions ... 18 seems high. AND we know there is an anti-meat agenda. So I can't dismiss anything without better data. (except the moon landing, clearly faked, as Whoopi proved) Posted by: illiniwek at April 21, 2022 10:12 PM (Cus5s) 74

The Russians themselves posted a video of one of their ships shooting an anti-air missile at a Ukrainian Bayraktor TB-2 drone that day. The Ukrainians say they used a TB-2 to both get targeting info and to make the Moskva focus its attention in the wrong direction. The Russian video is an admission from their side that there was at least one Bayraktor in the air harrasing them when it happened. Posted by: Tom Servo at April 21, 2022 10:13 PM (r46W7) 78

"Twitter" or as they say "Social Media" is what I call "The Internet".
Yeah, it's a specific website, or platform, but it's important to understand the leftists want complete control of it. It bleeds over into other forums, other places, obscure corners of the world wide web. I'm not "on" Twitter, but I see the same sort of over-arching control mentality on forums and sites by people that I can only assume are fully immersed in that kind of culture. It isn't enough in their mind to simply avoid topics of discussion, or avoid opinions they disagree with. They want any such discussion shut down completely, if it does not comport 100 percent with their worldview. Usually couched in terms that sort of sound reasonable, but really aren't. Being "Reasonable", after all, has turned much of the nation into a Bizarro World fun-house mirror reality. Don't be fooled, and tell these assholes to get bent. They are anything but "tolerant" or "reasonable". Posted by: Common Tater at April 21, 2022 10:21 PM (e+cRb) 105

The thing about Twitter was for a while the non-left owned it and the left's dumb crap was usually quickly shot down and ridiculed mightily. So they figured out what every leftist figures out eventually. Just exterminate, in some sense, your opposition and then you win. And that's what they did.
So maybe that will change and non-leftists might be allowed to open their mouths once again before their leftist ruling class masters, for a time. Just remember they left silenced you once. They removed you from their presence. They didn't care how, just that you were gone. And they have not changed. Have you? Posted by: banana Dream at April 21, 2022 10:22 PM (kc6S6) 108

Elon Musk is exactly the guy who needs to lead The Great Unwokening. He's ambitious, he gets shit done, he has a whole lot of fuck-you money and a willingness to use it, and--crucially--he's not just some politician stirring up trouble to get money and votes for the next election cycle. The coalition leader *has* to be someone who operates outside of America's dysfunctional political system, whose judgment and leadership are not clouded by the urge to play all the angles and get ahead.
And on top of that, he's also responsible for making about 30 years of liberals' techno-utopian dreams come true. It's like those myths about a great creator who makes amazing things but then takes them away when the beneficiaries show themselves to be ungrateful little shits with no understanding of responsibility.

The fellow who was found dead in his barracks.
Looking back, I can sort of see how it could happen, if all the bad things "stack up". A four day weekend is a beautiful thing to a lower enlisted. Weekends don't mean much in the military sometimes. "Only two more workdays till Monday!" was the refrain. So he was "lucky" - not everyone gets the 4 day weekend - somebody has to pull duty, for example. Where was his roomate? Typically everyone gets together and does something for a long weekend. I would not necessarily hold his chain of command at fault - because there are no formations or roll calls for the weekends. It is a very unfortunate incident. The fact that he was ill places it in a different category however. Somebody should have been checking up on him. And in this age of text messages it would be trivial. Posted by: Common Tater at April 21, 2022 10:36 PM (e+cRb) 169

Yeah, McCarthy is done now.
I also saw Grenell hinting that Trump might run for Congress so he could become Speaker of the House. The timing would fit with the release of the McCarthy tape where he was talking to Liz Cheney about removing Trump and making sure Pence didn't pardon him (for God knows what). And if you want to spend some time in your bunk, that would put Trump in line for the presidency behind one guy who might get marched off to prison or die of an aneurysm at any moment, and some form of hyena-human hybrid who would have to be removed by any means available before she could assume power.

One of my brothers had the Mattel baseball game. I remember playing the football game, but I dont think we owned a copy. It was probably one of my cousins.
I had saved up paper route money that summer to buy a used TRS-80 Model 1. So of course I wrote a duplicate of the baseball game on the TRS-80. This ended up being my first magazine sale, although as far as I can tell they ceased publication before printing it. Probably partly because they paid on acceptance instead of on publication like everyone else. Posted by: Stephen Price Blair at April 21, 2022 10:42 PM (U+Oxn) 185

Saltwater straight into the main electrical distribution panel... and they had not split the boards, so it took out the secondary... and the ship went dark. By the time they figured out what was going on, the venturi effect between the two ships... pulled us together... we hit bow on, trashing the sonar dome. They did not relieve the Capt.... because Desert Storm was just starting, and we were still sea worthy... although limited in speed.... but he 'retired' right after we got back.

Another strange thing from Tucker tonight. Someone noticed that traffic fatalities were up 10% overall in 2020 compared to 2019. And this was during all the shutdowns -- people weren't driving as much by a long shot, yet a 10% increase in fatalities. Don't know how many sigma that is, but it's significant. Then, looking deeper, turns out it was up over 20% for blacks. In one month, June or July of 2020, black traffic fatalities were up over 50% from the same month in 2019. Racist roads, obviously. But those racist roads weren't killing that many before. Most likely explanation: traffic enforcement, especially for blacks and in black neighborhoods went down big down. With BLM and all that shit, the cops didn't want to be accused of racism and driving while black bias and all that. Result huge increase in number of dead blacks. BLM and their allies are killing more than the KKK ever did. Posted by: publius, Rascally Rapscallion (Mzdiz) at April 21, 2022 11:04 PM (Mzdiz) 273

The only Japanese kit I have in the collection is the newly released, Dec 7, 2021, of the Eduard 'Tora Tora Tora' A6M2 Zero-sen dual combo.
If it is Soviet, let's see a P-39 since I got a few of those kits. But I barely wander further afield than US or British.

yeah, I've seen this too, about fires in general, not just food processing plants. And just in the last couple days, Russia had a military research facility burn AND some chemical plant burn. But before I dismiss the 18 fires as a minuscule fraction, I'd want more info. Fires in general are miniscule fractions ... 18 seems high. AND we know there is an anti-meat agenda.

The problem with the Me 262 going into production rests squarely with the RLM thinking they could win the war with what they had.
The 262 program was very leisurely until it was really needed. Hence there had been no real commitment to get either the BMW 003 or the Jumo 004 ready for production as soon as possible. So the Jumo 004, world's first axial jet engine, was McGuyvered to run on poor quality steel parts and then pray an engine could last more than 25 hours before catching fire, shedding blades, blowing up or all the above before replacement. Hitler's directive lifted the program out of the RLM morass to an extent and gave it priority. Even as Sturmvogels with Wikinschiffs were going to the bomber units, roughly 25% were covertly being completed as fighters and funneled to JG 7. So Hitler was a wash in the long view. RLM's lack of urgency is what really doomed the Me 262 and to a certain extent the Arado Blitz which relied on the same Jumo engine. Posted by: Anna Puma at April 22, 2022 12:02 AM (ZnXLo) 399

Not a total ghost-town at the range today, unlike last time. Military had all the small ranges, at least most of the day. I lobbied the gunnery mate with the EOD outfit to resume using some main range lanes for their M249 familiarization shoots - it was nice to loiter and learn all the ins/outs of feeding, barrel replacement, etc. They'd not let us fire a belt because, reasons, actually on the smaller ranges which are more private they'd let us.
One RO brought this black powder double-barreled shotgun with barrels about 14 inches long. Didn't see him touch it off but he said it was great, both shot and these saboted slugs worked well. Not a firearm by ATF standards, so really an interesting option for home defense with "over the counter" equipment (Pyrodex black powder substitute also easy to buy, no guvamint check/registration of any kind).

We may be fucked but we're not China-fucked:
Lord Woodstone (Toss all MAPS out the airlock) @EricMertz_KC Apr 19 Trucking volume is down 87% in China's agricultural heartlands. Further a third of farmers in Jilin, Liaoning, and Heilongjiang can't get fertilizer or seeds for the spring crops. Because said fertilizer and seed is stuck in cargo holds in Shanghai. Authorities are also sealing off access to rural villages. Meaning the seed and fertilizer which got off the ships can't get to the cities. But, its not like that would matter anyways. Local authorities are arresting farmers for being on their tractors. In a field. By themselves. Due to Zero COVID policies. And now truckers are just dumping food on the side of the road because they're being told they will have to be locked down in their trucks for weeks if they enter the city.

Two little items that may have not received any notice in western "press".
Provisional civil administration of "liberated" areas of Kharkhov oblast in Ukraine (russkis, in other words) have said once things are "stabilized", there will be a referendum on the areas' "political future". Umm, this is a potentially interesting or ominous little thing. Russia has zero territorial claim on any of this area. Even the breakaway regions to the southeast of there, Moscow has always scrupulously described them as Ukrainian territory in their official statements and formal actions like the Minsk accords. "Minsk is dead" saideth Vlad as he launched this war, but "autonomy" or anything of the sort for areas like Kharkov, AFAIK, has never been a topic or question.

Methos, yes, or alternatively (but basically same dynamic) Moscow's worst fears about western malevolent encroachment having been vindicated (in Moscow's view), they've got to think of more buffer territory. (I think they've already realized that WRT Donetsk/Lugansk, oblast borders won't suffice, they'll need a buffer zone beyond equal to Uke artillery range - merely "autonomy" or de facto Russian dominance/protection clearly no longer a sensible goal)

I was reading about the copyright thing. Disney's original Mickey Mouse is the one that will expire in 2024. A whole string of their and other characters (Loony Toons) will start expiring over the next few years into the 2030s. They should have expired long ago, but Hollywood and Disney in particular just flat out bribed Congress to extend them. There were some other lesser, but still pretty big copyrights that started expiring in 2019 or so. Hollywood didn't fight that. They said they knew it would trigger a firestorm, and they couldn't get away with what they used to. But I think Disney will fight.

Have you seen any of the Johnny Depp testimony? It's wild. After she threw a bottle of vodka at his head, just missing him and smashing it on the wall, she grabbed a handle of vodka and threw it at him, smashing his right hand and destroying the tip of the middle finger.
Posted by: Farmer I have watched most of Deep's testimony. Amber is a psycho. Depp is a complete drug addict, maximum rascal, sharp as hell (he is a difficult cross), and loyal to a fault. The text messages he wrote about Amber when he was pissed off are epic and funny as hell. I really like him so far. I don't think I would have liked so much when he was on a bender, but that can be said of all alcoholics and drug addicts.

I'm convinced that enlisted personnel get the shitty end of the medical care stick. Kids get injuries that stay for life without any support during or after active duty. While active most injuries are hidden because nobody wants to look weak or be seen as a shitbird. When leaving active duty often there is no screening for problems. The va is a joke after service because the va sucks in every way. Looking back I had medical problems that should have prevented my service they took me anyway because i filled a billet that was hard to fill. I toughed out six years and left worse off. Would I do it again? Yes. But I wouldn't hide my health issues.

I didn't stage my house, because once I moved out I redid the interior. A lot of things were already in the works when my friend decided to move and offered me his house, so I basically went ahead and did the house like I was staying in it. One reason was so it was competitive in my area, and I really wanted to see it done. I had the floors sanded and redone, all new paint, new black granite hearth for the fireplace, a shit ton of epic molding, new windows, new siding, garage door, new HVAC system....and I didn't want a single frigging ass picker in there to fuck anything up "staging" the place. I did all the work except for the siding, the HVAC, and floor sanding. 9 months I broke my ass. Nobody was going in there.

I've been playing around with my old vintage calculator collection. I'm slowly getting all my stuff set up in Miley's new house here. It's a slow process, but I've got all the time in the world. I've got two vintage '80s Radio Shack scientific calculators, and EC-4004, my first, bought in high school, and an EC-4020. Both were made by Casio, OEM, and Radio Shack put it's name on them. The 4020's batteries were dead, and I replaced them, twin CR2032s. Fired it up, seemed to work fine. But then I got in Base-n mode, where it does, binary, hex, and octal. It's acting screwy. In hex mode, it doesn't display the lower two digits. In octal mode, it only displays the last digit. That is you enter 7 + 1, and the result is zero. The current value is in there, as switching back to normal and retrieving the last value stored is correct, but the digit display is just messed up in those two modes. Weird. I have reset it a couple times, but to no avail. Posted by: publius, Rascally Rapscallion (Mzdiz) at April 22, 2022 02:42 AM (Mzdiz) 537

The left shuts down the right's right to peaceful protest never quite understanding that that real, not hyperbolic, ammo box is our last resort (and the reason why they want to kill the 2nd Amendment). Because the left's arguments cannot stand up to reason or debate, they use their Big Tech/Corporate Media monopoly to attempt to shut down or criminalize any protests against the left's agenda before that protest can get a foothold (see: The TEA Party).

https://is.gd/zZpzX8 Posted by: Ciampino at April 22, 2022 03:05 AM (qfLjt) Interesting. Not sure it would pass constitutional muster, though. Making the civil penalties for one murder different from other murders. What about the murder of a parent through non-DUI vehicular homicide, like a home invasion, etc? Would that murderer be on the hook for child support as well? Maybe now it would pass muster as the Constitution is nothing more than 1-ply toilet paper.

I remember reading something many years ago. There were two things, according to the NT, that got Jesus mad, I mean stomping mad. Pissed off. Righteous anger. One was the money changers in the Temple thing. Didn't like that one little bit. The other, and this is somewhat tamed down as most understand it, but the author said was another one was the "suffer the little children" thing. They tried to keep a bunch of kids from bothering Jesus. Go away, shoo. That pissed off JHC pretty good: "Suffer the little children to come unto me and forbid them not, for such is the kingdom of God!" He was pretty pissed off. He added, "Verily I say unto you, whosever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein." IOW, JHC didn't think too much of adults shirking their responsibilities to their children. A parent is responsible for how their child turns out. Oh, the child has free will ultimately, but the Big Guy is keeping account of how you teach and mold them. Posted by: publius, Rascally Rapscallion (Mzdiz) at April 22, 2022 03:22 AM (Mzdiz) 558

April 22. Earth Day. And my birthday. Sometime around 8AM this day in '67 I popped out into this world. I hit the double nickel. 55. When I was a kid, my father said that you had to be 40 before you had good sense. When I hit forty, 15 years go, I asked, well Daddy, do I have good sense now? He replied, sorry son, I've changed it. You've got to be 60 before you have good sense. So, 5 more years to go. If he's still alive and not too far gone by then (he'd be 99), he'd probably say he's raised it to 80.

Thank you. I'm 39 and holding, like Jack Benny. One year under the good sense probationary level. 29 is too stupid to hold at. ---- I seem to remember that most 'older' women were always 39. Someone of the horde suggested that we use modulus 29. So you divide your age by 29 and what's left is your age mod 29 So I'm only 18.

So, 5 more years to go. If he's still alive and not too far gone by then (he'd be 99), he'd probably say he's raised it to 80.

You know, all the current year comedic "talent" summed up amounts to far less than a corn in Jack Benny's stool. His schtick was 3 things. Jack was a tightwad. Jack was really old. Jack played the violin terribly. He carried that for his whole career, and pissed more funny out in the morning when he got up that all of the current idiots combined today.

Miklos! Your absence was regretted earlier: 534 Quitters. I see Miklos is AWOL. Time to downgrade his membership to paper mache. Posted by: bear with asymmetrical balls at April 22, 2022 02:39 AM (KFhLj) Posted by: m at April 22, 2022 04:10 AM (QcU9m) 592

A few moons ago I was also doing IT/network support and I had a few wired power-over-Ethernet routers. My question was more to whether we have wifi POE now since I've been retired too long.

Learned that Tennyson at high school in Nairobi. Good poem. Sad result. Sort o similar to having to go over the top when the whistle blows in trench warfare, WW1. "Am I dead this time?"

20 Tweets from Bad Blue My Gawd, the evidence of voting fraud caught on camera is incredible. Especially the van being unloaded with cartons of ballots in the middle of the night. I'm actually surprised that Twitter isn't blocking them. Maybe they have the fear of Elon the Musk. Posted by: Divide by Zero at April 22, 2022 04:27 AM (dQvv7) 606

His poem “The Charge of the Heavy Brigade at Balaclava,” on the other hand, never quite captured the public’s imagination.
