For Thy Sweet ONT Remember'd Such Wealth Brings That Then I Scorn To Change My State With Kings
Good evening fellow 'Rons and 'Ettes. It's Friday night, which means it's time for our weekly meme madness. I've been a busy little trash panda, scouring the underbelly of the web for a fresh crop of memes.
Fido Friday: No! No! N...oh, wait, I like this!
— ONT WTF (@OntWtf) June 11, 2022
Guest content: this meme was sent in by April
Guest content: this meme was sent in by Jewells
Guest content: this meme was sent in by someone who didn't identify themselves with their AoS nic. Seen at bike week
Elephant basketball should be a thing

I would have loved to have seen this. Talking about Robin Williams
Is that what the kids are calling it now?
Feline Friday: The cats demand equal time!
Chaos!
— ONT WTF (@OntWtf) June 11, 2022
Behold, a meme
I wonder if they ever used this? Moreover, I wonder if it worked?
Sometimes it takes a cowboy. Beeve got loose on an Oklahoma highway, so they called for some cowboys
— ONT WTF (@OntWtf) June 11, 2022
I'm just going to let you ponder on this picture
Zinger
Well, at least he tried
Entertainment for the masses in Biden's America

If you ask me, Ace of Spades is nothing but a bunch of up-country degens
The menstrual cycle, explained
It's good to have goals
Tonight's ONT has been brought to you by teacher's unions:

Haply I think on thee, and then my state,
Like to the lark at break of day arising
From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven’s gate;
For thy sweet love remember’d such wealth brings
That then I scorn to change my state with kings.
Dang, had to look it up. Got stuck on "Yet in these thoughts..." then it all came back.

Second, I finally got all my furniture here and in the hacienda so I'm really back to being LRob in TX. Relief!
I lived near OKC for about 25 years; one time a semi full of steers tipped over at the I35/I40 interchange and none of them died. However, they ran all over hell. The cops and highway patrol tried to herd them and I don't know who got them "somewhere" off the highways.

While loosely based on another well known story, Robert Eggers and Alexander Skarsgard actually created something original.

My current view, the "happiness is everything" meme is wrong. "You will own nothing and be happy" aligns with happiness as the ultimate.
Meaningful Purpose is the ultimate, a sort of athletic competition, but in the realm of spiritual competition against our enemy ... the Devil. Or just look at the general AoS Zeitgeist ... a contest against the principalities and powers of the Commie Left, as their Pharisees in media and DeepState preach their false doctrines, punish their enemies.
Mostly our blog efforts are not bloody, but they are real efforts against the propaganda machine. That is the "spiritual contest". The New Testament language is often more Olympic contest like ...
"I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:
8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. Second Timothy 2:4-8.

I saw a teenage girl the other day riding her bike on the sidewalk next to a very busy road. She had a mask on, but below her nose. She had a phone in her hand, and I think she was doing talk to text.
So getting run over was a real possibility...but at least her mask was protecting her from all those COVID virons stalking her you know even though there were no people near her.

I haven't gotten it, but I'm retired. Most of the people I know who still work have gotten it. Interestingly, I have a nephew and his wife who work in urgent care centers, where a lot of covid people have come in. He and his wife haven't gotten it.
It's all common sense. It's similar to colds and flu. If you are around a lot of people, you will probably get it. If you work in a health facility that is extremely careful about disinfecting everything that is touched, you might not get it.

remember that the Fraud was concentrated in 6 cities - that was enough to swing a presidential election, because they could swing 6 states. (California doesn't count, because fraud IS the system there but everyone already takes that into account)
You can't control 500 individual elections by monkeying with the results in 6 cities. You can change a few (michigan and pennsylvania are still problems) but not enough of them.

A month into things, spring 2020 I think, I was out jogging and there's this woman with her kid in a baby stroller out walking. I'm headed her way, the sidewalk is wide but I go over on the grass to give her room. All of a sudden she freaks and takes her baby up this incline leading up to a house and starts walking her baby along this 45deg incline, the baby bouncing around and nearly falling out to be the mandated 6' away. I knew people were lost then.

One of the ideas common in demonology is that demons have secret names that give others power over them.
We are constructing an idea for transsexuals that seems oddly similar. They have their "power" under whatever made up name they want to use today...but call them their real name, their birth name, and they are destroyed.

But Protestants seemed (to me) to still view themselves as subjects of the king. Only America broke free, sovereign man's God given rights recognized, an independent man viewed as his own owner/leader, coordinating with locals, his state, and on limited issues, the federal government.
But even the early colonies allowed a lot of government (state level) control of people, like with some church attendance required I think. --
next step ... IF USA was the first time a government was established to explicitly extradite the sovereign Christian man with his God given rights, from the "state owns the man" status, how did we (by allowing the DeepState) surrender it?

Their explanation:
H.R. 7910 reclassifies many common gun parts as "ghost guns" unless they are serialized (ex. AR upper or handgun slides);
The bill prohibits the assembly of "ghost guns";
If you clean your gun and reassemble it, you will have violated Section 301 (b)(aa)(1)(A) of the bill.

I knew a couple of people from the southwest. One was from New Mexico, the other from Arizona. The chili they made bore no resemblance to what my mom made. My mom's was hamburger, canned tomatoes, and canned red kidney beans. She spiced it with onions, bell pepper, and crappy chili powder. What the people from the southwest made, as I remember it, was beef, slow simmered for a long time, with a lot of really hot chili flavor. I can't remember if they used some type of tomato. It was very good.

"Sarah", the Mayberry and Hooterville operators (I assume these were different Sarah's), while great comedic exaggerations, where indeed based on more than a small kernel of truth.
Imagine the setup. Telephone exchange in a small town, also serving rural customers. In the old days, the phone company would set up a local resident to the be the operator, and put the switchboard right in their house in town.
They preferred old maids, unmarried older gals who still lived with their folks. This is Sarah. Her older mother and father, if still alive, could handle all the household chores, leaving Sarah free to woman the switchboard all day, and even be on emergency standby at night. Ol' Doc might have an emergency or something.
I remember reading a very interesting history of this about the old phone systems one time. So, Sarah, while an exaggeration, was indeed a thing.
She might be a little gossipy, and might indeed be known to listen in on a phone call she thought particularly juicy.

The only times I'm good with canned beans is if I'm making my own refried beans (the canned ones are softer and easier to crush 'smooth') and making 3- or 4-bean salad (sometimes I do without the wax beans but it always has canned kidneys, garbanzos and string beans). Oh, yeah, and sometimes I'll make a small quickie batch of canned white bean, sausage, pasta, escarole soup when I'm feeling particularly lazy (or hungry). But other than that, dried beans soaked and cooked for any recipe.

In the early days, the budding phone companies attempted to use teenaged boys as operators. They had worked out well for gophers and such work in the telegraph days.
They did not work out so well for the telephone operators. Their what we now call telephone etiquette was not so great. In fact, it sucked.
Women made great operators, they discovered. Some had the single women only rule, but that was not the case always.

The first automatic dialing system was the "Strowger switch", invented by one Almon Brown Strowger.
Was he some eee-lectri injuneer? Nope, he was an undertake, a mortician in a small town (but he had some other electrical background).
The wife of one of his competitors was an operator at the local telephone exchange. He got pissed because anytime anyone would call and, say, "Get me the funeral home", she would direct them to her husband's business, and not his.
That prompted him to develop the automatic dial system.

In the small town when I was a boy (Pop. 700), the telephone company was run by the widow of the man who started it. It was just as you stated above.
The lines themselves were maintained by her high-school aged son, and two other teenagers, one of whom is my BIL. These guys were adept at using climbing irons. 17-18 years old.
The 'phone book' was a couple of mimeographed sheets.

Well, it took until #154 for the otter reference, and there was only that one. Surprisingly restraint all around for the unsporting lay-up.
I, however, have no such shame.

If you want to spend some money on antique phones, you can still get an original Strowger dial phone for some money.
These things, however, are not compatible with the standard pulse rotary dial system that later became ubiquitous and standard.
Look that up if interested.

Women operators were better at quietly eavesdropping on telephone conversations and then spreading gossip from that eavesdropping, so there's that, too.

My favorite was 'party lines'. 'Sorry to interrupt, Mrs. Johnson, but I need to call the doctor'. Kids today, with their own cell phones, have no clue.

My folks had a private before I was born in '67, but before that, they had a party line. They built the house in '60 -- well moved in then. They, my grandmother down the road a little bit, and two neighbors were on a party line.
One of those neighbors was bad to listen in on other conversations. My father figured it out one time, when he realized this neighbor knew something he could have only heard from eavesdropping on a phone conversation.
He learned this neighbor's phone, with online, would make a certain noise pattern, and could recognize when he was listening in.
One time he heard that noise, and just said, "Better be careful, cause ol' So-and-so is listening in now!"
That ended it. He couldn't say anything, cause if he did, he would admit he was indeed listening in.

Yes, a better time then. Question is, will we ever get back to that way, that bespoke of a country as of such might?
I pray for that.

Well, it was all WE stuff...mostly. In the case of these decoders, they were located at each way station, with a single pair of wires serving all stations in the district. Each station could be addressed by sending a sequence of pulses, the decoder at the addressed station would step in response, and if the sequence corresponded to that station's address, then a contact at the station would close.
It is fun to watch the thing operate. It was extremely well engineered.

The old party line ringing system was interesting. In some cases, they just used different ring patterns for each party on the line.
Now, another system, which they used for the old party line my folks were on, used tuned ringers. The phones were 3-wire devices. The talk circuit was on the standard 2 wire, single pair, tip and ring. But the ringer was wired between one side and a third, grounded wire.
They had tuned ringers, tuned both electrically *and* mechanically. I think they could have 4 parties on the same line with that.
By tuning both electrically and mechanically, you could have the ringer only respond to a certain frequency, and not move with the other.

OK - I denounce myself.
So - in other matters - the Donks decided to have their little prime time show trial thinking it will stem the tide of absolute anger and disgust over the effect their incompetence and policies (BIRM) have had over every aspect of the economy, kids, the border and peoples' lives generally. I have news for them. People either a) don't give a f* about the small incidence of civil disorder at the capital that day; or b) don't think it was really much of an event at all and that this is all made up outrage; or c) think that having Congress in fear of the wrath of We the People is a good thing and think it should happen more often. Either way - shooting their wad in June on this stupidity will not even be a blip on people's radar when they vote in November. If inflation is still a problem and the economy still sucks and dem trannies are still pedo perving on kids in October expect a nuclear level decimation of Dems at the polls on election day.

A non-tuned ringer will respond and ring with a wide frequency range. I think the original was somewhere around 20 Hz.
With the tuned ringers, you'd impose two frequencies on from each side to ground, giving you 4 total "addresses".
IIRC, if a phone's tuned ringer got out of tune, it would sometimes try to ring one another party's frequency. That was how this neighbor would be alerted to my father getting a call, IIRC.

I looked it up. Standard ring signal in the US is 90VAC, 20 Hz. The tuned ringers would be tuned to 20 Hz and 30 Hz. Two sides to ground, and you had 4 addresses. They might use more than that, 8 party line total. There they would use a different ring pattern to split each address.
There were other frequency standards in different countries.
But standard US ring is 90V, 20Hz.
