Saturday Overnight Open Thread (8/6/22) Unexpected Company Dropped By Edition
(1).jpg)
This was sent to me by that Gun-toting Cob Weasel. You'll have to ask him why.
Speaking of an unexpected guest.
A New Hampshire family met an unexpected visitor in their house on Monday. Also read: New Hampshire woman says bear broke into, damaged home
Arlee Giannini was home with her son when he told her there was a bear in their living room. "I'm about ready to fall asleep. Jaeden comes flying in my room and he's like 'Mom, there's a bear in the living room,'” Giannini said.
DEATH VALLEY NATIONAL PARK, Calif. (KSNV) — About 1,000 people cannot leave Death Valley National Park after severe flooding hit the park, shutting down all roads into and out of it. The National Park Service said in a statement that it would take four to six hours to open a road on Highway 190 toward the east of the park to allow people to exit.
Once upon a time The Fabulous and I were attending a church service. Our kids were acting up and the Pastor's sermon was about God giving you no more than you can handle. Looks like God has a lot of confidence in this couple.
Pregnancy can be an exciting and surprising time for moms and dads. One unexpected outcome could be news of twins - having twice the amount of kids than expected. Well for one mom in Massachusetts, she got the surprising news of twins twice... in the same pregnancy. Her name is Ashley Ness and she overcame odds of one in ten million to give birth to two sets of identical twins at the same time. Already a mom of three kids, the 35-year-old Ashley now has four more children to add to her pack - two girls and two boys. The babies came a little early - 12 weeks short of a full-term pregnancy - but everyone is doing well, though the children will be staying at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston for another eight weeks for observation
Born on this day: August 6, 1952 - Pat McDonald
American musician and songwriter Pat McDonald from Timbuk 3, who had the 1987 UK No.21 single 'The Future's So Bright I Gotta Wear Shades'). He formed the duo with his wife, Barbara K. MacDonald. He has co-written songs recorded by Aerosmith, Cher, Jools Holland, Billy Ray Cyrus, Zucchero, Keith Urban, Imogen Heap, Stewart Copeland and Peter Frampton. via thisdayinmusic.com
“Meth is legal now.” That is what Enzo Zabala-Cardozo, 31, “advised” Florida cops who caught him, glass pipe at his lips, attempting to light up early yesterday in a St. Petersburg alleyway, according to an arrest affidavit. Upon spotting police, Zabala-Cardozo began walking away, but not before declaring that, “Meth is legal now.” He did not offer further details as to when lawmakers legalized use of the highly addictive stimulant. As it turns out, however, meth possession is still a crime in the Free State of Florida™. As such, Zabala-Cardozo was busted on a felony drug possession charge and a misdemeanor count of resisting police.
Looks like he has Oregon confused for Florida.

funniest story to me out on the web tonight is the French Scientist who tweeted out a Highly Detailed Picture of Proxima Centauri, which he said came from the Webb telescope. Hundreds of people retweeted the image. After the Webb team said "that didn't come from us" the frenchman said "ok, it's just a picture of a piece of chorizo sausage. I wanted to show that people would believe anything if someone with a title said it."

There is another instrument that nobody touches, invented by Jerry Riopelle, called the Beamz Music System, where the player uses his/her hands to break a beam of light, thereby triggering a synthesizer to make a sound.
I don't think he used that to record this song, dedicated to his wife, Naomi:

You have a "jungle primary" (the top two candidates advanced, regardless of party), and the candidates were the loathsome "Republican" Jaime Herrera Beutler, who voted to impeach Trump twice; Joe Kent, the Trump-endorsed candidate; the Democrat; and two "pro-Trump" ringers funded by Herrera Beutler to split the pro-Trump vote.
And on election night, Jaime Herrera Beutler's appears to have worked - the D came in first, and JHB was second and several thousand votes ahead of Kent, aided in part by many D's voting for her. (In other words, in an actual Republican Party primary, Kent would have won easily.)
But a strange thing happened. Since ballots in Washington only have to be postmarked by election day, it takes days for all the ballots to come in - and with every new count, Kemp gets closer to JHB. JHB is now about 500 votes ahead, and it is anticipated that after Monday's county, Kent will be in the lead.

What makes this weird is that there is a well-known pattern in Oregon and Washington mail-order voting that votes counted after Election Day are heavily left-wing. There are numerous examples of the more moderate candidate apparently being safely ahead on Election Night, only to lose when the votes counted after Election Day come in.
Yet Kent is defying that pattern. Apparently what happened is that conservative organizations told people to **delay** casting their votes until the last minute, to make it harder for elections officials to figure out how many votes to steal to throw the election to the incumbent. So the late votes are heavily right-wing, the reverse of the usual pattern.
This appears to have worked.

The two of them could not manage to lift it to move it from the garage to the driveway, so they slid it. Had trouble lifting it even 3" or so to clear the garage/driveway threshold.
One glance at their mid-sized SUV hatchback, backed up the driveway to shorten the carry distance, and I instantly knew that there was no physical way that table was gonna fit in it, nor would they have the strength to lift it up and rotate it to angle it in even if it would fit.
As I was carry out my last armload of tools and hardware in bins, they were headed over to the big box truck that had just pulled up, asking if they could talk to the guy in charge of the truck & crew. I skedaddled.
I guess a fish DOES sometimes need a bicycle after all.

DO NOT report your results 26 minutes after the polls close. Wait until the nearest blue sh*thole vote totals come in - so they can't pre-determine the margin of "cheat".
Kent's district is interesting - it has very populous Clark County just north of Portland, which leans Democratic (and is likely the source of concerns about election fraud), plus several smaller, much more conservative counties. I don't think that the conservative counties have been in any rush to report results.

Yeah, Dave in Fla was right. Fox and I called her loss early and I underestimated the amount of vote still out of Pinal Cty (Lake was supposedly down 40K votes and 9% at midnight with ~80% of the entire state's vote in) - but Fox has yet to address why called it for Robson - I'd like to think they have more inside info than I do.
Its pretty obvious at this point that Fox Election folks have some sort of Dem/GOPe insider knowledge on their cheats. They are being fed what to say about races that mean something to these politicos - politicos who have invested or paid in on taking certain election races.

He's GOPe all the way. The CofC loves him. I'd suspect crossover D votes if I were suspicious.

Kent will be declared the winner on Monday, & likely by a great enough margin that it won't even trigger a mandatory recount. Cook Political Report's Dave Wasserman says that RINO impeacher/witch Herrera Beutler "will need a miracle now."
The DEMs are NOT cheating or interfering in the GOP primary in WA-3. They regard it as red-on-red fun, & they're passing the popcorn.
Valdao may very well lose the GE to his DEM opponent-- 50/50. If Valdao loses, Newhouse will be the only one of the 10 RINO traitors to return to Congress.

That was probably part of the issue.
The Lefties I listened to almost uniformly said they would vote "NO", because otherwise abortion would be banned in Kansas.
Even though the vote was just to allow the legislature to create the controlling legal framework regarding abortion in the state through the normal democratic process.

I saw lots of national reporting saying almost the same things you are saying. However, that narrative is almost completely backwards.
In 2019, the Kansas Supreme Court found an absolute right to abortion in the Kansas Constitution. Even though it was never mentioned, nor contemplated in the Constitution.

The Roe v Wade decision actually contained several restrictions on abortion. When it was overturned, there were then no constitutional restrictions whatsoever on abortion on Kansas.
The practical result of the vote is that strict scrutiny will now be the standard to be met by all of the existing "compromise" abortion laws in Kansas.
If the pro-abortion side takes a test case to the Kansas Supreme Court regarding parental notifications, abortions after 22 weeks, etc. The challenges will almost surely win and there would theoretically be no limit on abortion up to crowning.
The recent vote issue was merely to let the legislature make the laws regarding abortion. However, the Kansas Legislature is heavily red, so the laws would presumably have shifted rightward if the referendum had passed.

>>The way the ballot question was written was intended to confuse. I think it worked.
I think it has more to do with a couple of other factors.
Kansas is not as conservative as people think, they elect Democrats governors, reps and senators all the time.
They elected Kathleen "Planned Parenthood Superbooster" Sebelius as Governor, twice.
Current governor is a Democrat women.
Kansas is the number one state for top shelf adoptive children so there are a lot of young women who are in difficult situations in that state.
Donks are super-motivated over abortion and Conservatives are flat-footed after the big SCOTUS victory.

regarding Islamic Jihad:
Israel's policy toward Iranian-sponsored terrorist groups (I could name 5 or 6) is simple: Israel will not confine itself to lopping off Iran's terrorist tentacles in Yemen, Lebanon, Syria and Palestine. Israel will also strike at Iran ITSELF, whenever one of Iran's proxies attacks.

I know little of details of law, but wonder, how then, was NY able to pass law that allowed 39 week abortions? (forget if other states also bypassed those "several restrictions").
And the "to save the mother" mandate seemed to be used arbitrarily, with no fear of prosecution, up to late term abortion.

Because a single cell with 46 chromosomes, or a "clump of cells" with "no brain activity or heartbeat" is not perceived by the majority as a citizen.
And I could argue the Bible agrees. The loss of a fetus is charged with a fine, but loss of the woman is "eye for an eye". Yes I know, some here argue that it is only "accidental" loss of fetus .. but I respond in old days .. "chapter and verse please". It is not about accidental.
And First Usage. "And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul". I see that as figurative, but still ... all history records human life beginning at birth. So for legal purposes, that is The Standard.
In any case, for legal purposes, about 70% do not want to make first term abortion illegal. I don't see a reason why some "zealots" (even if religiously correct) should overrule "the will of the people".

I don't know whether it must originate in the House, or not.
It is not appropriations, so AFAI understand it cannot actually provide $ for spending, per se. All of those bills (including a continuing resolution, which is just a mega approps bill) are subject to the usual procedural rules in the Senate.
The constitutional restriction (hey! stop laughing) is that bills raising revenue must originate in the House. Though as the O-care disaster showed, nobody including SCOTUS is serious about such things any longer, if inconvenient.

And I believe in the previous Congress, 2019-20, several appropriations bills were passed in regular order (that is, the bill was stand-alone, not part of an omnibus).
Amazing I could not have wised up by now, but I actually thought return to regular order might help. But not really. With a GOP like this - and an electorate like this, that almost never punished misbehavior or warns them off against it - it's academic. It's just not a country that can govern itself intelligently any longer. Fiscal insanity - once the centerpiece of most congressional fights and debates - literally doesn't even exist as a "political issue" any longer. Essentially, even under the alien, temporary intrusion of the Trump administration into the timeline.

no idea what you refer to. but there is also "before I formed you in the womb I knew you" ... which I take as, "not just before you were born, but my foreknowledge knew you even before you were conceived".
OK, here is KJV
"For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. 14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;"
Body life, soul life, (for Christians) spirit life. So the forming of the body was fearful and wonderful. Wonderfully MADE indicates a Process.
At what point Soul Life is introduced, idk. But "LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul" is "First Usage".

The "continuing" part was about them not being new statements of policy or spending priorities, but short extensions of prior year FY stuff until the new policy was agreed to.
Omnibus simply means rolling all 12 (?) approps bills into one massive one. If it funds a full FY of spending, it's not really a CR. CRs were, in the old days, omnibus by nature - whole idea was to continue at current levels until the new FY deal could be worked out. But all these terms are internal to Congress, they have no legal force or meaning.

So ? in first heaven and earth bodies and souls existed? So in the story, Adam was new. Then he chose to follow his girlfriend Eve, and mankind's bloodline was corrupted. In that very day, he died (the spirit life died, lost his direct connection to God).
"But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in THE DAY that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die."
Adam's body and soul did not die, his spirit (direct connection to God) died that very day. We have it back thanks to JC, the second Adam, the lamb of God, our redeemer.

While ago I had a prostate biopsy, results were...you have 2 suspicious spots, so I had another yesterday. When I posted about this the first time someone shared a link to the UK process and it sounded much more scientific.
Does anyone remember who posted the link and where it went?

The joke is that the Japanese have trouble with "l", not "r".
One time, long ago I was flying from Europe back to the States. The stewardess asked the Japanese gentleman next to me, what he wanted to drink. "Kahveh," is what he said. I was trying to read my book, and only kind of paying attention. They went back and forth several times, then it finally clicked for me. "Coffee," I said out loud, and the gentleman of my left, turned to me and smiled broadly and bowed and I bowed. to him.d

Not a damn thing wrong with "middle shelf" bottles from pretty much any liquor store, anywhere.
Jim Beam for Bourbon, Jack for Tennessee Whiskey, Smirnoff for Vodka, and etc. Not only "not bad" but nothing to complain about with any of 'em, other than "like/don't like". People obsess over the Premium and Super Premium bottles, in some cock-weighing contest. Skill in Drinking though? Find the CHEAPEST bottle you can find that'll pass muster, or maybe even be a surprise of Liquid Gold. Any fool can spend too much, but it takes a MORON to find the Cheap Treasures!

If you are ever in Santa Fe, NM you should consider stopping by the Santa Fe Spirits distillery. The gentleman that started the distillery learned his craft in Scotland and produces some very lovely small batch single malt whiskeys under the Colkegan label. You might even confuse them for Scottish type whiskey. They run in the $60 to $80 range. And they ship.

I don't let the Dems off the hook on the Kari Lake ballot hi-jinks. The current AZ Secy of State is the Dem candidate for Governor. Now gonna be running against Lake. Secy of State is in charge of elections there, and I wager she really wanted to run against the RINO.

No additives, aged in ex-bourbon oak in Belize, column- distilled from molasses.
Nice stuff. In my extremely and typically limited framework, resembles Barbados rum in overall taste experience. Bourbon drinkers would not feel lost with this stuff.
This company's got a bunch of Caribbean region rums they bottle. I've picked up their Barbados and their Dominican bottlings too. A significant % of better rums are bottled by British and European outfits, it's an interesting pattern. Big prestigious houses like Ferrand (French cognac and other spirits) are major players. They use their cognac/sherry/etc barrels for finishing in many cases.

This is true. I was never picky about the brand of booze. Yeah some tastes better than others, or maybe some are a tad smoother, or there is something extra in the flavor, etc. I'm talking about brown booze, not vodka or gin. I can't deal with those unless it's disguised in a long island ice. The clear booze just tastes like hospital on its own. But yeah, cheap is ok as long as it don't taste like brake fluid. lol
