My Uncle Has An ONT, That No One Knows About

Welcome to Friday night meme madness. Chose your war.

War.jpg

Tonight's drinking game


Feel 29 yet?

2050.jpg


It's hot. They just enacted water restrictions, and all of the electronic signs on 20 now say WARNING:EXTREME WILDFIRE DANGER

AC.JPG


Tragedy

Tragedy at a performance in Hong Kong by the boy band Mirror. The dancer survived, the stage collapsed under his head mitigating the impact. There is a second video shot from the front rows linked to this one, you'll have to click through to see it, it's a lot more graphic (no gore, as I said, the video screen punched his head through the stage) so I'm not going to embed it. Lets hope he recovers quickly.


A plan so cunning you could put a tail on it and call it a weasel

cunning plan.jpg


I think I have a new motto for the family crest

subdue.jpg


Life finds a way


I'm not sure what's going on

Dogs out.jpg


Well, that ripped my heart out

elephants.jpg


The interesting thing is the reaction of the crowd


But what did the rats do?

Rat orgy.jpg


I wholeheartedly endorse exposing more fans to hockey, but there is a learning curve

Hockey.JPG


So you had a bad day


He's still lost

Marco.jpg


Today is Geddy Lee's birthday, so Doof sent in a meme. He's no Leslie Nielsen, but he's still a pretty important Canadian, so I'm posting it

Geddy.jpg

Doof, next time send a larger one

Coffee sure is expensive these days


Names for ladybugs

Spanish mariquita Little faggot.jpg

I'm told that in Spanish they are “Mariquita” which translates as “little faggot”. Anyone know any other weird things ladybugs are called?

The meme for Kuzco. The meme chosen especially for Kuzco. Kuzco's meme

Cuzco.jpg


I'm not sure if this counts as a doodle or not. Still, posting it for Bluebell


Fido and feline Friday, together at last!

Master.jpg

The duality of man

Fantasy.jpg

I actually see a lot of memes on the above subject from young people these days. Broadly speaking, the two sides of the meme encompass the dual roles of men in traditional western society: being strong to protect your family and drawing the strength to do it from them. Of course, now that's considered “toxic masculinity” and scorned by society, but I see a deep longing for it among today's youth. Maybe throwing away societal roles that evolved over millennia to appease angry feminazis wasn't such a hot idea.



Tonight's ONT has been brought to you by angels among us:

Kadesh was the big one between Pharoah and the Hittites. Megiddo was the one where the Egyptians fought the Canaanites and in spite of being pretty unwilling to to tactical things, actually flanked the Canaanite stronghold from behind and took it.

Megiddo is a strategic area and has been fought over since the first one in 1500 BC all the way to WWII.

visited the military useum in Cardiff, Wales. they have a big honk___ lance with a sharp edge. got a cross bar at the top to keep the victims from coming down the lance. got a story about a Welsh private standing i formation while Fwench heavy horse set up for a charge through the Welsh foot. Private steps out of formation runs forward about 20 yards and issues a challenge in appropriately accented Welsh based english. Frog accepts and begins a mano e mano charge at the private.

183 Of course, now that's considered "toxic masculinity" and scorned by society, but I see a deep longing for it among today's youth



I watched a video put out by the folks that produce "The Chosen" (not sure if anyone is familiar, it's a streaming mini-series that depicts the life and times of Jesus) which recorded the reactions of a bunch of Gen Z kids watching the series.

I was somewhat dismayed (and perhaps they were selected for this reason, IDK?) that nearly every one of the 10 or so kids described how they suffered from a mental disorder or some broken home life.

I wonder how good it is in the big picture to categorize so many kids at such a young age as "suffering" from this or that? I'd say it's a good thing in being aware, but yet the suicide rates at that age are climbing dramatically. I have attributed a lot of that to social media, but I wonder if putting all these kids in psychotherapy and on meds isn't exacerbating the problem.

I was kinda awkward, got switched between lots of schools and got beaten a lot by my dad as a kid, but I'm glad that no one intervened, it forced me to adapt and develop coping mechanisms. I'm able to laugh at adversity.

Well, if it helps, it breaks my heart just to hear about it. {{{hugs}}}

My boy went off to AMYA last week, and I'm in knots about it. Haven't heard one word about his progress, which is probably good. It is such a cliche sending kids off to military school, but it really is his last chance to succeed. Yanks at my heart as well, but at least he's still there.

I'm not that old (seriously) but I remember fondly a time when kids had no fathom of such things. Maybe mid to late teenagers should understand depression but a 7 year old doesn't have depression and stress like an adult does.

And I say this as someone with a high respect for psychology, (the thing, not the profession). A 7 year old can have trauma but that's not the same as "stress".

I mean there is nothing wrong with sharing your feelings, but it ought to be to a chosen few that you trust their advice. I don't get telling everyone you have even a mild work acquaintance with.

My main issue though, is if you "name it", that is to say that you get diagnosed with something, then it's as if you are helpless to your world, fated by the fickle brain patterns to feel bad.

Screw that. Suffer, adapt, overcome. Grow. Develop coping skills. Harness your anger and use it as power. Recognize suffering and be empathetic. These are life skills.

296 My day today was consumed by correcting yesterday's fuckups.

Fuckup #1: I borrowed a live trap from a friend, with a view to trapping the feral kitten I saw hiding in an old truck body down at the bottom of my lot. Took it out of the back of the Suburban, set it on the grass nearby. Later went to use the Suburban to go to town for a can of paint, and ran right over it. Bent it up pretty good. Spent about 3 hours cutting hammering, and welding, and got it pretty straight, and functional. Trap is now baited and set out there.

Uh-oh! Completely forgot to remove a bunch of small parts stacked around the heater that sits directly behind that nose panel. Today, I ran a video borescope in there, and yeah, parts. Fortunately, I was able to reach them all from the inside of the bus, and winkle them out of there. Every last one. Did not want to have to take that panel off again.

I had to replace the drive belt on a brand new Craftsman push string trimmer I bought a couple months ago. It beats a hand-held weed eater, and handles heavier stuff.

But the damned drive belt just broke -- I'm figuring it was more cheap Chinese shit that anything else. I thought that would be a fairly easy job. Took me about all damn afternoon. I basically had to nearly take the whole damn thing apart just to get a new belt on it. I had to remove the trimmer head from the frame, and carefully thread the belt on. And there was only one way to do it, an exact sequence to get that belt on.

And then put it back together, and get the idler pulley tensioned. That was a bitch.

I honestly think they had to really think it through to make a belt that hard to replace. Went to special trouble.

And that reminds me, I bought a new riding lawn mower about 3 years or so ago. Damn drive belt broke on it soon as well.

I think it is cheap Chicom belts. The new belt has lasted ever since so far. I hope the new belt for the trimmer will be good too.

I have an idea for a trimmer. Get an old 21" gas rotary mower, cut the front third of the deck off it. Replace the blade with a 17" disc of 3/4" plywood. At intervals (say every 90 degrees), mill a slot in the bottom surface of the plywood disc. Slots to be the width of a scrap timing belt, and deep enough to hold two layers of the belt with the cogs intermeshed. Slots maybe 3" long. Each slot gets one piece of timing belt glued and air-stapled in, with the cogs showing. "Cutters" are short strips of the same belting, engaged with the cogs of the fixed pieces of belting, and held in by sheet metal clamps, retained by carriage bolts with wing nuts on the top side of the disc.

If you look at the picture, you'll see how narrow the housing is around the front. There's not much room for the idler tensioner. So what they did was use a belt about as short as would fit. A longer belt would make it easier to thread on, but that would mean more idler travel, or some double idler arrangement. So that just made that one tight belt.

It was almost short enough to run without a tensioner!

Will be out of pocket the last half of August - hubby and I are going on a cruise to Scandinavia. We missed out on the river cruise we were supposed to go on with friends, due to my father needing us to take care of him the last few weeks of his life.

It's just going to be the two of us on this trip - one of Paul's cousins is going to watch our youngest while we take a much-needed escape for 19 days away from all the petty problems of the world. Given that in the last 5 years I have lost a daughter, my Mom, my Dad, 2 cats, and 1 dog, I figure I've earned this vacation - I am REALLY looking forward to it!

We will also be celebrating our 42nd anniversary while on our cruise - it's going to be strange having just the 2 of us around; we normally have a nice get bright her with friends and family to join in the fun. I've already told the folks in charge about it, so maybe they'll have a cake or something.

Anyway, I'm almost always here, even if you don't hear from me - I can't quit the Horde!

I never learned Italian. My father is fluent and was born here, his whole family is fluent, none of the kids though. Not me, or my brother, or my cousins. Mom's side was all italian, but none of them were fluent. Didn't really help when we went to italy either, my father had a little trouble with the Rome dialect, but no problem in the naples area. It was pretty funny actually. If he started speaking in italian people were like eh nablidon. If he started in english, which marked him clearly as american, and then switched to italian they were like "very curious, you sound like you're from naples." lol.

For certain Chief Executive measures of the term, yes.

Further details restrained; work disclosures = unemployment or worse.

459 Nightwatch. Correct answer for all that is, the only correct response is a Bundy Ranch Rebellion response. Overwhelm them before they can overwhelm us.

That was YEARS ago. They COULD monitor the comms then, but didn't yet have the ability to bring a coordinated, instant response, to bear.

Now, they do. And our comms are not only fucked, but can be cut off in an instant. We've got all the guns and ammo and people and even, yes, WILL necessary to the task. But they've fucked our ability to RALLY to coordinate, to gather and thus, to render an organized resistance. They want to pick us off, one by one.

This, we need to solve, and solve quickly.

469 Not exactly a re-enactment, but I'd love to see a big budget production of the battle of Manzikert. You could make a movie about Alexios Komnenos and start there
Posted by: 18-1 at July 29, 2022 10:31 PM (ESjRY)

Alexios was a little late for Manzikert, and he's better known for his role aiding the first Crusade from a history his daughter wrote about it. I named one of my Cats after his daugher Anna Comnena, she passed away last year.

471 could always go with von Lettow-Vorbeck to East Afrika and freak out the natives.
Posted by: All Hail Eris, Sans-Culottes (except for the Book Thread) at July 29, 2022 10:43 PM (Dc2NZ)

I thought a good chunk of von Lettows fellows *were* natives...

The French and Indian war always seemed anti-clamactic to me. Once the English got their act together they'd overcome things. It started when George Washington took a fort, then his troops murdered the captives, and the French came up and captured him. Then a poorly run expedition to modern Pittsburgh was defeated. A pause while the colonists and English got organized, and Pittsburgh and Canada soon fell without too much of a fight. Meanwhile, lots of atrocities on both sides on the frontier.
