Huh! I did not know this. CTU Agent Jack Bauer saved Mike Pence's bacon.

In light of the January 6th hearings, we felt it was prudent to provide a detailed timeline of that fateful day to refresh your memory. We put our best historians and hackers on the project so we could bring you the most accurate and classified details yet.

Here is the official timeline of those terrifying events on January 6, 2021:

It is expected tomorrow The SCOTUS will release its decision which will overturn Roe vs. Wade. The FBI warns it will not accept violence. Somehow I don't believe them.


With the current term of the U.S. Supreme Court drawing to a close and a decision that could see the overturn of Roe v. Wade looming, the FBI released a statement Friday that emphasized precisely why the American people are losing faith in federal institutions.

Since Justice Samuel Alito’s draft majority opinion regarding Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization was leaked at the beginning of May, there have been unrelenting protests ranging from mild to violent extremism. Despite the consistent and credible threats a number of these protests have presented, particularly to the conservative members of the court, the FBI waited until two days after a failed assassination attempt on Justice Brett Kavanaugh to declare they will not tolerate “violence or criminal activity under the guise of…demonstration.”

But Mummy I want my old job back. Entitlement knows no boundaries.

Prince Andrew 'wants HRH reinstated and his position recognised and respected'

The Duke of York has reportedly asked the Queen to restore his status as Colonel of the Grenadier Guards after being stripped of his titles last year amid the fallout from his civil sex case

Inanimate objects do not kill people on their own. People who hate, have no moral compass and/or mentally ill do. Thank you typical RINOS.

Senate Democrats have found 10 Republican Senators to endorse a sweeping “gun safety bill” that would inevitably be signed by President Biden if it navigates the Senate. Biden has already praised the legislation, mentioning that it “would be the most significant gun safety legislation to pass Congress in decades.” It is possible that more Republicans could join, as several others have showed interest, including Marco Rubio, Lisa Murkowski, and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.

I'm so confused about "Green Energy". We are told that relying on "Renewable Energy" will not only help out the environment. But will help our checkbooks as well. Big Tech says not so fast Warren Buffett.

Google, Facebook and Microsoft Corp. ? three of the world?s biggest corporate buyers of clean power ? are sounding the alarm that a nearly $4 billion, Warren Buffett-backed renewable-energy project proposed in Iowa isn?t necessarily in the best interest of customers, including them.

If approved, it would be the largest complex of wind farms in the entire country when it comes online by the end of 2024, producing enough electricity for more than 700,000 homes. MidAmerican Energy, a utility owned by Buffett conglomerate Berkshire Hathaway Inc., has asked state regulators to approve terms including a guaranteed 11.25% rate of return before starting construction on a project it says will help in its efforts to trim carbon emissions by 75% compared to 2005 levels.

But the big-name tech giants that operate data centers in the state warn the project, dubbed Wind Prime, could drive up electricity costs. MidAmerican, they say, should consider alternatives. ?We have concerns that the current Wind Prime proposal is not in the energy customers? best interest,? Corina Standiford, a spokeswoman for Alphabet Inc.?s Google, said in an email.

Big Tech doesn't care about your checkbook. Follow the money and somehow with Buffett profiting they won't. That's what irks them.

It appear that this woman and elephant had a horrible relationship.

An elephant in eastern India killed a 70-year-old woman and then returned to her funeral to trample her corpse.

The incident occurred in Odisha state on Thursday, police said.

Maya Murmu was at a tube well drawing water in Mayurbhanj district’s Raipal village when the wild elephant appeared out of nowhere.

Authorities said it had strayed from the Dalma wildlife sanctuary, nearly 200km from Mayurbhanj.

After being trampled, Ms Murmu was taken to hospital where she died from her injuries, police officer Lopamudra Nayak was quoted as saying to the Press Trust of India news agency.

Yours truly is often critical of law enforcement officials. But, when they do the right thing they should be commended and be Tonight's Feel Good Story of The Day.

Troopers and firefighters from Boston and Chelsea responded to the bridge at 12:04 p.m. for a man threatening to jump from the southbound upper deck. Responding patrols reported that the man had crossed over the barrier and was on the edge of the bridge, contemplating jumping.

Sergeant Peter Sennott, Trooper Randy Roach and Trooper Paul O’Connor worked together to establish trust and communicate with the distressed man.

Shortly after 12:30 p.m., Trooper O’Connor convinced the man to come back over the fence to the road side of the bridge. Trooper O’Connor then sat with the man and talked to him for a while until EMS took him to a Boston hospital for evaluation.

"We wish him recovery and a safe and healthy future," the department said in the Facebook post.

To be permanently kicked out of White Castle you really have to be a Genius Award Winner.

ST. LOUIS — A 46-year-old man brandishing a knife and lighter fluid threatened to blow up a downtown St. Louis White Castle restaurant Wednesday morning, according to police.

A St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department detective investigating the incident said Luke Cody walked into the restaurant on the 800 block of South Broadway at about 10:50 a.m., and told employees and customers that in addition to blowing up the restaurant, he would also kill everyone inside.

11 One of the newly elected Republican County Central Committee members stopped by this evening. She laid some knowledge on me concerning the fact that there is a training program, put on by the Committee, for candidates for county office on how to run as a Constitutional Conservative and then, once elected, vote as a moderate.

Wow.

At least we got her elected. I'm going to start attending the committee meetings.

30 Tonypete, through a good friend I should have an inside look at a GOP House challenger's campaign here. It's CA, so the GOP is one of the worst/most useless of them all, but it's the last least-effed up major coastal area in the state. What I have seen and heard on the same general topic past few years is beyond despressing.

The dude tells me the story. He says its made from a fruit that grew in africa that nobody ever did anything with, so the fruit would just lay around on the ground and ferment, and then the elephants would eat it, get wasted, and then go stampede the villages. They decided to start cultivating the fruit. it wasn't available in the US at the time, so he told me, so I had to buy the bottle just because I laughed my ass off at the story.

The Slashdot website is a haven of autistics, retards and communists who have, at best, a child's understanding of the world around them.

That said, MidAmerican Energy is doing nothing but rent seeking by exploiting the duplicity and fecklessness of politicians who will have you sacrifice everything in order for them to boost their own vanity and grift.

Server farms don't dial in their workloads based on whether the wind is blowing or not. Wind is the complete and total opposite of demand based. Furthermore, the nameplate rating for wind is often 5 to 10 times more than the actual output. When energy is needed most, windmills are AWOL. Wind only comes in to play when it needs to price out thermals/dispatch energy through the miracle of subsidies and tax credits.

Maybe they should stop handing them out in men's rooms.

Women with penises really have no use for those things.

They are good for plugging bullet wounds and sopping up spills, so if you see them for free in a men's room, I recommend taking all you want.

Amazing.
Posted by: G'rump928(c) at June 12, 2022 10:52 PM (yQpMk)


Tube well is a shallow well made to reach the shallow aquifer without being contaminated by surface water. Previously in India and Bangladesh the surface tanks with runnoff were sources of cholera and other waterborne diseases. The tube wells were supposed to alleviate that
Unfortunately in certain areas the shallow aquifer has a lot of natural Arsenic and is slowly poisoning the peasantry.
The solution is to restart the surface tanks or to drill deeper wells, which is beyond the finances of most villages.

interesting ... is "shallow aquifer" a technical term, or "term of art"?

idk, around here it is important to protect wells from surface water, but afaik they don't go down to "aquifers".

The deep drilling into aquifers in the west is a concern, since those are not readily refilled. (and I think Saudis in the SW are doing deep drilling to for crops, depleting wells for locals.

Federal and/or state law on how to use the limited aquifers would be useful.

280 Posted by: Elephant

When I went to college, the psychology department was into Skinnerian psychology and operant conditioning (think of lab rats pressing a bar to get food pellets).

So, they decided to see if they could operantly condition elephants at the local zoo, so they rigged a log attached to a rope that the elephants had to pull down to get their treats (like bananas), and to motivate the elephants, they withheld treats otherwise, so the only way the elephants could get treats was to do the log pull.

The elephants hated this.

So, one of the college students working on this decided to go to the zoo on a Sunday with his girlfriend, and ended up in front of the elephant enclosure. One of the elephants recognized his tormentor, went to the watering trough, filled its trunk up with water, backed up to the edge of the enclosure, turned around, and sprayed the college student from head to toe with water.

Smart animals.

S&W Revolvers, including the Model 19, through the Bangor-Punta era, have the hammer-mounted firing pin, the design of which dates back to the early 1900's pre-Model 10 "M&P", which became the vaunted "K" frame, when S&W started using alphabet characters to designate frame sizes.

'Twasn't till the Saf-T-Loc" company bought out Bangor Punta, that both the accursed key-lock *and* frame mounted firing pin with related "flat hammer" appeared on S&W revolvers, including the '19. That's also concurrent with most of the lockwork devolving to the use of MIM (metal injection molding) vs. the classic forged, milled and case-hardened steel innards.

Hi OrangeEnt, not planning on any purchases any time soon. I already have several S&W revolvers from Jesse's collection, I don't think he had a model 19. The ones I shoot the most are a model 14-3 and a 1917 (Brazilian contract of 1937). My favorite is the model 28-3. I've got some 9mm and .45 snap caps already and will pick up some .38 next trip to the gub store (or online shopping expedition) and that should cover the calibers I want to practice most. I probably will do less dry fire with revolvers than with semiautos; I don't flinch as much with revolvers.

I think below the basalt here is the region where the Juan de Fuca plate is sliding under the continental plate, on it's way to be melted under the Cascades. Deep enough it is salt water.

I have seen those springs in the back roads and hills driving south of The Dalles in the Summer, though. We would drive through sere dry hills, and there would be a emerald spot half way up the hill on the other side of the draw, running down until it apparently evabporated

So the Saudis bought farm land in the West, and are raising crops for export? Curious.

Some aquifers get recharged, and some do not. But quite often, the "fossil" water is saline. Fresh water usually implies recharge. But it is possible to draw down at a faster rate than the recharge occurs.

323 Some aquifers get recharged, and some do not. But quite often, the "fossil" water is saline. Fresh water usually implies recharge. But it is possible to draw down at a faster rate than the recharge occurs.

There was a plan in one of the local towns that is having water issues to purify extra water in the winter to pump into the city's aquifer to recharge it for the summer when the surface sources dry up or are insufficient.
No idea what became of it though.

"In 2014, Almarai paid $47.5 million for more than 9,800 acres in La Paz County, Arizona, a sparsely populated alfalfa-growing region that is exempt from severe restrictions on pumping imposed on Phoenix, Tucson and other large Arizona cities under a 1980 state law designed to protect the state's aquifers."

I'm going to carry on as his wayward nephew ... my motor and battery arrive Tuesday (about $1000). Never got around to muscling my fat tire trike up my steep hills, but now motors and good lithium batteries make it easy. (I hope) .. I might buy another as a prepper item ... can get a bike up to 20-40 mph .... 70 mile range.

IF they really do cut off our energy (shutdowns are good for the planet, plebes) ... these would be cheap transportation, and even if not Eotwawki, still pretty nifty and fun.

pretty sure my first post was about my 67 Valiant, posted while in high school ... or again, that may be implanted memory. I strongly remember encouragement to "get your ass to Mars". but I can't Recall, recall ... probably false implanted memories.

R-12 (CCl2F2) was the best refrigerant for automotive use to date. It's properties made it ideal for automotive A/C and for small things like refrigerators and freezers as well.

A guy around managed to squirrel away a good supply of R-12 in the larger 30 lb cylinders. I got some from him a time or two back in the mid 2000s.

He's dead now, and I don't know what happened to his R-12 stash.

cursed with the Dem/commie mafia. But yeah, enviro nuts don't get it .. Midwest has abundant rain ... how we control it and use it is the issue. They pretend if we grow corn, that is a waste of water ... as if the Mississippi is not "wasting water" by dumping so much in the gulf.

I'd be fine with some crop diversity, fruits and vegies, but grains provide calories. ... The left doesn't care about real science ... mostly, we still overproduce. ... I guess they really want to stop that, and not for our benefit by raising prices. They want us to fail, then the BigCorps can buy every damn thang.

410 Senate Democrats have found 10 Republican Senators to endorse a sweeping “gun safety bill”

I was reading today that the 10 senators that McConnell picked are either retiring or not up for reelection this cycle. So basically he hand-picked 10 people that would cave to the Democrats and nobody would have to pay any consequences except the American people by bending over and taking it up the ass one more time.

436 Hey Horde,

Are we talking abut how we came to AoS? Hmm - nice walk down memory lane. I had been a lurker here for a long while, then, in 2015, started to post here and there. Ramped up things ( and kept myself sane) in the buildup to Trump's election in 2016. I had also been reading the National Review, but left it behind as soon as the NeverTrumpers revealed themselves. Never went back there. There's a few blogs I have left behind (and a few that I might leave for good, soon, like Powerline Blog - where I only show up once a week to peak through their Week in Pictures which has some very good memes in it.) Agree on Iowa Hawk, who used to make me laugh out loud quite often (the T. Coddington Van Voorhees VII character was truly spot on GOPe funny). After the Tumpening on election night in 2016 I became a real regular, but was not posting a lot over the past two years after my parents both passed away in the stretch of a year and a half.

Love the comradery, love the ranting (Ace's righteous rants are still the best ones!). Love the space for free expression and, and I know this will sound crazy, the sanity of this place (and its insanity).

Who the hell paints a bedroom a lemon lime yellow and periwinkle? Either color would be bad enough, but they did a few walls one color, and the other walls another. Lay on your right side you see periwinkle, lay on your left side you see lemon lime. The other bedroom was...was UPS shit brown, and the entire kitchen, halls and foyer were...were pumpkin orange. Pumpkin frigging orange. 13.5 foot vaulted ceiling with a glorious 13.5 foot tall pumpkin orange wall. I had painters come in for that because it was too tall, and I refused to move in with that color. She had a shit taste in colors.

Well, I used Sherwin Williams. Normally I'm a benjamin moore person, but when my brother's painters came in they wanted the sherwin williams. They said they improved it a shitload, and I watched them, and it seemed to flow really nice while doing the edging, so I have been using it and yeah its really nice to work with. They had a color called lightweight beige. Its a very light beige. I used that in the family room, and the kitchen, halls and foyer got a similar color, basically a very slight different shade of beige. They are light colors. It went good with the hardwood floors. The bedroom got a very light blue because it went good with the furniture which is a kind of antique white. I have to do the living room yet, its some weird green, like a light sage, which looks like shit with a red brick fireplace, sooo.

Yeah no shit, right? When I was doing kitchens and bathrooms in a former life I worked in a different house every week or so for years. I saw a lot of stuff, and what people were doing. I also saw what a lot of rich mofos were paying interior designers to do. I guess a lot of it stuck, well the better stuff anyway. Some people had some weird ass ideas of decor.

I like red in a dining room. My dining room is soon to be a merlot type color with all the epic moldings. My old house was that way, so I'm going to do it again. Actually, its getting painted tomorrow.

495 The puzzling thing about this place is the fixtures and vanities. The house was built in 1983. Everything in it is pretty much original. Mint, but dated. The shit that was put in this house new was exactly the kind of shit I was ripping out of people's house in 1983 and was already old. The powder room is a miserable joke. I have all the new stuff to redo it, so its on the list. It has a dark brown formica vanity and top, dark shit brown with...a frigging mint green sink and toilet. WTF??? that shit was already old, dead, and buried by 1983. How the hell did it end up in a new house is puzzling. That crap was from the 70's, and somehow got time warped here. I think a lot of old stock ended up here somehow.

Either had in storage or got a great deal on older stuff at some clearance sale. If everything met minimum code, what does the builder care what color it is? The builder wasn't going to live there.

508 Morning, all! Up early to work out, though I dread it in the thick soupy heat that is early morning. Today is my first work day morning with the new kitten, Stirling. (I settled on that name is preference to "Marlin," which is nice but which I kept transposing in my mind to "Marvin.") Since he woke me, predictably, at 2 am on Sunday morning, last night I locked him out of the bedroom. He was very pleased to see me when I arose.

He needs someone to keep him amused. He seems to think my moccasin laces are there to be untied. And I tend to disagree.

There is a video on Youtube somewhere of ol' Marlin actually doing some wet work, and mixing it up with some beast. He actually did it, at least in his younger days.

Marlin got pissed at Johnny Carson making those jokes about Marlin sitting the Jeep with a martini while Jim wrestled the tiger and such.

They told him, Marlin, when Johnny Carson is making jokes about you, that means you've made the big time. You're beloved Marlin. Johnny is ragging on you out of love. :-)

That settled him down.
