What A Piece Of Work Is An ONT!
Yesterday was Thursday, Thursday
Today is Friday, Friday (Partyin')
We, we, we so excited, we so excited (Partyin')
We gonna have a ball today
Tomorrow is Saturday and Sunday comes afterwards
I don't want this weekend to end!
Remember the shit that little girl got for the song? Ok the music aspires to reach the level of bubble gum, and the lyrics are...not brilliant, but she was a 14 year old girl. She wrote a song. It became a hit. Let her have her moment. Sheesh. Anyhow, on with the memes! People ask me why I post memes on Fridays.

Time traveler goes back in time to kill future evil dictator who is not yet particularly evil or dictator-y.
By accident the future evil dictator survives and gets the notion that he'll be killed by people from the future if he doesn't completely take over society.
He proceeds to do so and kill a shit ton of people in his quest to keep himself safe and rid the future of time traveling would be murders.
Which then causes a desperate future citizen to invent a time machine to go back in time and kill current evil dictator...in the past.

Paraphrasing because it's from memory - Trump would give out loans to black men starting small businesses in the 80's. A year later or so they would come back to him and proudly hand him their repayment in the form of a check.
He would say to them, "Is your business open?" They would answer "Yes". "This is the money you made from the business?" They would answer "Yes." Then he would tear up the check and say "Congratulations. Go enjoy your business".

I forgot to pack shirts. Not a single one other than the one I was wearing. (sorry Mr. Anka) I didn't have a car when I was there so I walked about 15 miles to the nearest store and bought about six shirts. The trip got extended a week but I could walk to a laundry each week and clean everything.

Also, minimal eye makeup, so I suppose it may have been born "male", but who am I to assume gender?

No I'm well aware that general stable time loop stories are a thing. This specific example of one I thought interesting though.
The first such story I remember reading was about a time traveler that goes into the future and finds everything destroyed. He goes into a museum and finds a perfectly preserved knife of amazing quality. He brings it back to the present but no one can figure out what it is made of...and eventually it ends up in a museum. Where it remains through an eventual civilization collapse. Until that same time traveler comes to the museum and finds the knife...

Yes, it is. I remember my late father washing his hands with it after working on the cars or lawnmower etc. He grew up on a farm in the 30s/40s no water no electricity then, knew what worked and what didn't.
And that said, that video can't be real. I mean, that gal has gotta be someone doing a stunt video or something, right? No one is that dumb. The smell alone would set off mental alarms, and I'd think an attendant would come running. On the other hand, if it were a stunt video with water or computer-edited or something, I imagine they'd have her with a Marlboro.

The Slavic priestess in love with him tries to get him to ignore the revenge stuff and just leave with her - which makes sense, well, probably, we don't know as much about slavic paganism as we do Viking paganism.
But they could have done a better job fleshing out the Viking vs Slavic (vs Christian if they wanted to) world view that leads each of the characters to act the way they do. Yes the play up that the protagonist is fated to face his uncle, but the importance of vengeance in Viking culture is somewhat minimized.

Don't drink all the beers and then try this. Try this with the empty cans from last night.
This one time in grad school I threw a party for our research group and my roommates at our house. Party's over, folks have left, including the roommates, and I take some trash down to the garbage can. It's full, so I climb atop it so I can compact it with my feet. Can (and me) tips over onto the concrete floor of the garage, glass breaks and I open up a large gash in my knee that bleeds like there's no tomorrow. I dash upstairs to the bathroom and start cleaning the wound in the bathtub.
Roommates return, see the overturned garbage can and a trail over blood going up the stairs. WTF? After having a good laugh at my expense, they take me to student health services down on the Berkeley campus to get stitches. That's where I spend the next hour or so, listening for much of the time to a couple who just ingested psychedelic fungi. He's whacked out and paranoid; she's tripping balls. A truly memorable day all around.

My sister had a rolex. I think it was 10 K. She was very successful in insurance sales, and she has always had a strong need to impress people. The thing about the rolex is, it didn't actually look any better than the fossil watch I have, which has genuine crystals instead of diamonds, and is "gold tone".

A meme was supposed to be the simplest irreducible working element of thought. Culture and ideas were transfered between people through individual unique collections of memes called memetic code that competed with each other for dominance. This one guy came up with all that. Then some other person I think said, hey these simple pictures that visually communicate a single idea are kind of like this other guy's meme idea. And now it just means "joke".

Yeah but man does that shit clean good. I use it in the shop sometimes for severe dirty crap that I don't want to insult the parts washer with. Wheel bearings for one thing. Every time I do tires on a harley I yank the wheel bearings, drop them in gas to clean them spotless, then repack them. The gas just melts the old grease off them. Last week I had to rebuild a really nasty dirty 1954 panhead transmission. Gave it a gas bath first before hitting the glass beader and it almost didn't need the glass beader after the gas got done with it. I..love...gas. lol

Viruses technically don't go away, they attenuate as they circulate through populations and we acquire immunity to them.
For instance, the H1N1 virus that caused the Spanish Flu outbreak of 1920 evolved to become less deadly and is now part of the panoply of circulating respiratory viruses that afflict people annually.
As has been noted, the COVID virus is real, everything else is an Op.

Her parents paid some record industry hacks to write every single note and produce it, and she got to add some semblance of her voice on the heavily-massaged and auto-tuned vocal track to launch her to the childhood "stardom" her parents so desperately sought for her.

My present stock of solvent is salvaged "odorless" solvent that I used for washing drill cuttings made using oil-based drilling mud. I think it was basically high-purity kerosene. I saved the spent (dirty) solvent in 5-gallon buckets, and usually brought 2 or 3 home from each well, and dumped them into a barrel. After settling for months or years, all the clay fines have dropped out, and the clear solvent is colored like strong tea, and works great for washing auto parts.
When that runs out, i will see if I can mooch a barrel of contaminated jet fuel.

I have an old Casio that dates back to the late '90s. I've replaced the battery in that thing 3 or 4 times. Band broke, and I repaired that just for fun, but now the accuracy is going to hell.
I got a new one of that same model. It's been over 6 months since I set it, and then damn thing is still within 1 sec of UTC.

A large complex piece of machinery was malfunctioning. An expert was called in. He spent a minute looking at the machine, then walked over and kicked it, at which point it ran perfectly.
Asked his fee, the expert said $1,000. "But you were only here for a minute," the owner said. The expert replied, "It's $5 for my time and $995 for knowing where to kick it."

My dad used to get a distillate he called varsol. Kept it in a gallon glass jug / milk bottle (maybe?). I used some to start the grill once, being out of charcoal lighter fluid, while dad was on the way home from work so he could make bbq chicken one summer's evening.
The fireball could have been seen from space. The charcoal was nearly instantly ready to cook over.

If you need it bone dry then by all means give it a final rinse in 'a little' gasoline or similar. The kerosene leaves the part slightly oiled which may be advantageous vis-a-vis corrosion. Also the used kerosene can be kept for future cleaning of heavily greased items.

This is a variant on a true story. Charles Steinmetz was called in by Henry Ford to diagnose an issue they were having with a generator. Steinmetz worked alone for two days. On completion, he told them to remove a cover plate he'd marked with chalk and remove 16 windings from the field coil.
They did it and it worked. Steinmetz charged $10,000. Ford balked at the price and demanded an itemized bill. The bill was $1.00 for the chalk mark and the remainder for knowing where to make the mark. Ford paid it.

They were Ram tanks that were Canada's pseudo-Sherman tanks produced under licence. See the link including...
||Ram Kangaroo
"Kangaroo" was the generic denomination for all turretless or converted Armored Personnel Carriers, based on the M3 Lee, M4 Sherman and Churchill chassis, or the "Defrocked Priest". These vehicle were open-top, all internal storage was dismounted to make room for 6-10 men and their equipment. The only armament remaining was the nose hull Browning. These vehicles saw action in Holland and Normandy.
Ram OP/Ram Command
The Forward Observation Officers (FOO) attached to each Sexton SPG company needed some form of protection, which was provided by mobile observation posts made of the 84 converted vehicles from last batch of the Mk. II. Their gun were replaced by a dummy, and a powerful set of radios were added in the turret. The Ram GPO used alongside had additional equipment and Tannoy loudspeakers.||

I always said I was gonna learn TIG, but never have got the equipment. Might do it one of these days. The solid state electronic wizardy has made those things relatively cheap. Relatively, mind you.
Another neighbor had a YUGE TIG machine he had acquired somehow, a genuine brand name Heliarc machine (Heliarc is sometimes used as the name for TIG welding, like Kleenex for tissue).
It was a big one. Single phase. '60s tech. The HF circuit was an old spark gap tank circuit. Open up the side panels, and you saw the spark gaps.

Now, that neighbor couldn't TIG weld a bit. It would do regular stick, of course, and that's what he'd used it for himself. But, when he needed some fancy stuff done. And indeed when my father and me needed some fancy, delicate welding done, we'd get old Sonny out there and he'd do it with that old machine.
He loved that old thing more than the fancier modern machines he used at his workplace.

Police also confiscated several handmade guns and explosives from his apartment, and asked residents nearby to evacuate due to the risk of an explosion while they dispose of the firearms.
Tetsuya had been working at a manufacturing plant in Japan’s Kansai region over the past two years, quitting in May, according to the Kyodo News.

I'm remembering that machine. It's probably still out in that neighbor's shop (which junior owns now).
It had a water cooled torch. Closed loop circulator system that had a radiator mounted in the main machine. Fan blew air through.
Foot pedal controls. Sonny showed me all the controls. He was very coordinated. Foot, both hands all working. You continuously varied current with the foot pedal. Another control on the torch kicked the HF in and out. Torch was held with one hand, and you held the filler rod with the other.
Sonny made it look like child's play. It was not. That boy could stack dimes so purty...

And a word of caution for the model builders out there wanting to build in 1/48 Focke Wulf's Wurger; if its the Eduard FW 190 kit with matte boxes and the plastic sprues are tan in color; that is the original molds with the way complicated BMW 801 engine. Later Eduard FW 190s with the glossy box art have medium gray plastic and the BMW 801 engine is far simplified.
Unless you open up the cowling access panels, because of how tightly cowled the engine is and with the cooling fan in front of the crankcase no one will see the engine anyway.

The third, which has noticeably larger paddles, is for the Fw 190F-9 which had a different BMW 801 engine which means you will then look at the different cooling fans present and pick the one with the 13 blades. Thus you will be able to build most Fw 190F-9s, well except for those that got fitted with a Ta 152 tail. So check your photos.

Key word 'rarely', Lucius. In Rome, you were most definitely the exception to the rule.
After George Washington decided not to run again for the Presidency, his former enemy, George III, marveled at voluntarily giving up such power and called him 'a great man' for doing so.
But finding historical examples of people seizing power, then voluntarily giving up that power, is exceedingly difficult.

I still have no clue where that character is from. Last week or so I was talking about the metal cruises I used to do every year. The last night of the cruise is like freak show night, some people wear fucked up costumes. Well a few dudes were wearing these huge pikachu costumes, and each one looked like it could have fit 3 people, so you had 3 or 4 of these huge pikachu things trying to move around in one of the smaller bars on the ship and it wasn't going well. At one point I heard this one voice come out of a pikachu and he says to another one "Dude, we don't fit anywhere". lol

Endless fidgety changes was the German way. Whereas the Allies way was to standardize and mass produce. Not sure if the German way was just a cultural quirk or because they knew they couldn't produce enough numbers and gambled on superior quality instead. Either way, once they didn't have it wrapped up by 1942, they didn't have the numbers to win and it was just stalling the end as long as possible.

After Kursk failed in 43 they steadily lost til the end. If anything, the Nazis continually underestimated the ability for the Allies to do what they couldn't..invade places they couldn't drive or walk to. Plus the Nazis knew, at least the top ones, that they couldn't surrender and walk away. Win or die keeps you fighting.

As painstaking as it was to watch, it does basically completely describe the Asian (specifically Japanese, but also Southeast Asia) monetary collapse, how it was specifically orchestrated and exacerbated through government policy, and the intentional crisis created to bring about monetary reform and place most of Southeast Asia under the thumb of foreign banks.
It also starts in on how the European Central Bank is now undergoing the same orchestrated crisis.

What if the previously dominant "northern strategy" of the Japanese army continued strong enough to result in their attempt to implement their war plan to take the eastern USSR? Instead of the southern strategy to seize (more) resource areas. Or if Tokyo had eschewed (I think the Japanese of that era could eschew, it wasn't culturally taboo) any attack on US forces, and just took Dutch and British possessions, and thereby dared the US to enter the war without benefit of massive provocation?

Nope. You're correct. Once the US could openly produce at full speed without citizen complaint, it was only a matter of time. Basically we fed and provided transport for the Soviets so they could just build military equipment. We also gave nearly half the Sherman production to the British. Germans had better stuff at times, but not five or ten times better, which is what they would have needed to keep up.

It's true that Germany soldiered on after the collapse of Barbarossa. But now, the odds of its success turned on serendipitous events that were completely outside of its own control.
Goebbels' delusional invocation of the Miracle of the House of Brandenburg in the closing months of the war was just the most extreme example of the German wishful thinking that functioned in the stead of any marginally realistic plan to achieve victory.

I'm reminded that my knowledge of the details of Lend-Lease is scandalously thin, so I don't know if the USSR was already a beneficiary prior to Pearl Harbor, but I think they were (if a minor one). What effect on the eastern front without the Lend-Lease aid that actually did occur, if that was a consequence of my counter-factual timeline?
Cicero you've got good company, several WWII historians say that Germany was essentially doomed from some time in '41 onwards, barring a major shift in the events that actually occurred.

5 million dead German soldiers a about a million dead German civilians, is the closest estimate to the truth, I think.
Russian losses alone are now considered to be about 45 - 49 million, soldiers and civilians combined. The war was a lot more devastating for the USSR that most people.
One recent scholar says the Soviet system was doomed by WW2, just the sheer loss of capital. It took another 45 years to manifest itself, but the Germans won the Cold War as much as the Americans did. That's his theory anyway. It didn't help Stalin killed another 15 million on top of what the Germans killed.

In fantasy, yes. In the real world, no.
SNL, back in the before time did a skit on that. Three horny guys are granted a wish by a genie. One of the pipes up he wants to see two real lesbos goin' at right there in their room.
He gets his wish. It was not what he was thinking.

Japanese problem was that they had to take oil, which meant attacking the oil in the Far East, which meant fighting the West. FDR cut off exports and when the Japanese made their go decision they had six months to bone dry. Long term, helping the Germans beat Russia and sharing in the Russian oil might have worked better but they didn't have the time or trusted the Germans that much.

But that presupposed that we would support the Communists.
Which, in hindsight, may have not been the best dealio.

So, there already complaints and memes of very old Floridian drivers (ex NYC) driving very slowly and creating traffic bottlenecks. Now we are going to have to suffer giant, slimy, possibly naked (yeah, picture that) bleached white gastropeds carrying their RVs at a snail's pace on the freeways.

If Hitler's program to train pigeons to carry grenades in a red solo cup had come to fruition, the Germans completely neutralize Allied tanks and the war takes a different turn.

See their mistake was using pigeons. Pigeons like to return to their roost. Bang. They should have used African swallows, maybe two to a grenade (weight problem).

My point was that the German military was stoned out of their minds as was a yuge percentage of the population for most of the war, and that they really did stack bodies far out of proportion to their own losses, particularly with the two weapons I mentioned.
With the final point derived from those thoughts that the General population may have thought the war was going much better than it was, with quite a shock coming once Germany's borders were overrun.
I could be full of shit. It wouldn't be the first time that was true.

Hitler gets "credit" for a lot of Russians that really belong to Stalin, given Stalin's status as an even worse war leader than Hitler. Tens of millions died who didn't have to because of Stalin's errors and intentionally evil policies. Plus Stalin gets credit for 15 million killed in the Gulags over his 30 year span of power.
Mao killed at least 100 million. He wins the contest hands down.

. . . including Hitler, himself, who decided he was a better military strategist than his General Staff. The Germans were really delusional about what it would take to conquer Russia. After rolling over Western Europe, thinking they could do that with Russia was truly fantasyland. Russians have never been very good at initiating conflict outside their borders (see: Present-day Ukraine), but when defending Mother Russia, they are full-on mama bears.

The idiocies never cease. We have basically given up on new clinical trials of the mRNA shots, but we're pouring $1 billion down the long Covid rathole?

Oh, new study out showing no associated between Covid infection and myocarditis. Remember that excuse, well Covid itself can cause myocarditis, so no problem.
Well, that's bullshit, turns out.
And long Covid is indeed not a real thing. The only thing that appears to be real is long term loss and alteration of taste/smell.
