We have always appreciated the dynamic mix of wonkishness and progressive optimism of Harris County’s first Latina judge. She’s an inspiration to many and, if given the choice, we’d rather live in Hidalgo’s vision of Harris County, where government is inclusive, transparent and ethical, policy isn’t tainted by politics, the air is cleaner, the streets are safer, more children can attend pre-K, and climate change is treated with the urgency it deserves.Seems newsworthy. H/T Jim SND OOOPSIE!
But vision isn’t always reality.
… Our gravest concerns, though, involve Hidalgo’s failure to respond with urgency to Harris County’s crime wave. In a county where more than two-thirds of likely voters list public safety as the most important issue in this race, it weighed heavily on our decision.
Even for those of us whose neighborhoods aren’t aglow in flashing police lights, the seemingly infinite ticker tape of suspect mug shots on the 10 o’clock news has us looking over our shoulders and praying that the next road rage incident won’t target our families.
TikTok influencer says she accidentally bought a $100,000 couch and is now tearfully begging her followers to pay for it
She recorded the video in the car. Crying and with tears streaming down her face, she says, "Pull over right now because I'm about to fuckin' throw up. I just put an offer on a couch, and I was joking, but I put in my card information, and it just charged my fucking account! I almost crashed my car when I saw it because I don't have the — Oh my god. I was joking. I was joking. If you have a million dollars, could you please donate it? Can you please donate, please? If you have a million dollars, could you let me borrow some, please?"I don't know what makes me more disgusted. Her attitude that others should pay for her mistakes, or that fact that a TikTok “influencer” had 100K in her account to begin with. Clown world.
”It's My Nature” Said The Scorpion
The Dishonest and Dishonorable Disagreements of Former Friends Here's a long article by Michael Anton (not sure who he is. 7-8 years ago when I wrote the piece calling out THE Rick Wilson I would have, but I don't follow this stuff like I used to, too damaging to my mental health* Honestly, I dunno how Ace does it day after day) calling out and eviscerating the grifters of the GOPe.
A lot of people figured out I was the author, including people who hated the piece. But only one revealed my identity, that is to say, “doxxed” me: Bill Kristol. Bill may not know this, and almost certainly would claim it as a badge of honor if he did, but he lost a lot of friends with that action. Indeed, many people I know were angrier at him than I was. My placidity began to give way when Bill first called me a Nazi—and then did it again, and again after that. As I have explained elsewhere, people who call you a Nazi are not your friends. They are your enemies. They mean to hurt you. About two years after that, I attended a conference where Bill was present. I had not seen him at all in the intervening time. He greeted me with a big grin as though nothing had happened and said that, since he was sick, he would understand if I didn’t shake his hand. Of course I didn’t, but—the chutzpah! As if I would! More to the point, why would Bill himself want to shake a “Nazi’s” hand? Perhaps only two other things are notable about that last encounter with Bill. First, he accused me of atheism. Second, he spent the entire weekend glued to his phone, scrolling Twitter.It's an interesting read if you have the time. *Such as it is.

Hurricane Myths
Myth No. 2: Government must stop greedy businesses from abusing customers.News Flash! People Are Human! A Linewife Explains Their War With the No-Good, Husband-Stealing Bucket Bunnies Dateline: Earth. Sometimes men cheat when they are away from their wives for an extended period. (Sometimes women cheat when their men are away working too, but we won't mention that) This is apparently worth a long article on something that's been going on since, oh, what year was the Peloponnesian War anyway?
Some businesses do raise prices when storms approach. Politicians call that “illegal price gouging.” This is just dumb, if not cruel.
When storms approach, people rush to buy supplies. If stores don’t raise prices, people buy anything they might possibly need, and probably some stuff they won’t need. The first shoppers buy extra bottled water, generators, sandbags, etc.
Stores sell out, so only the quickest customers get what they need.
But if stores raise prices for items in demand, fewer people hoard, and more people get what they need. Yes, it’s tough on poorer people, but the price boosts give stores extra incentive to restock. Prices quickly come back down.
Banning price increases harms more people.
After Hurricane Katrina, when John Shepperson learned that parts of Mississippi lost power, he bought 19 generators, left the safety of his home and drove 600 miles to the disaster area. He offered to sell his generators for twice what he paid for them. People were eager to buy.
But Mississippi police called that “gouging.” They jailed Shepperson and confiscated his generators.
I bet the cops used the generators themselves.
What the law calls “gouging” is just supply and demand. It saves lives.
Salvage Opportunity Horrific tragedy on Chinese bulker. Oct 3 UPDATE 13 died, ship’s AIS missing The ship is now apparently deserted and adrift. I believe that makes it eligible for salvage to whoever can get a line on her under maritime law. Anyone got a spare tug sitting around? Related: They've discovered the remains of the ship that sent Titanic an iceberg warning.
The merchant vessel SS Mesaba was crossing the Atlantic in April 1912 and sent a wireless message to the Titanic but its warning never reached the bridge. The supposedly unsinkable ship then hit an iceberg and sank on her maiden voyage, with the loss of 1,500 lives. Mesaba herself was sunk, by a torpedo in World War I in 1918. Now using state-of-the art multibeam sonar, Bangor University researchers have been able to identify the Mesaba's wreck and pinpoint her final resting place.Well, that's a pretty good ONT. Now let's see if I can stick the landing:

It's rather fascinating - Al Jazeera doesn't have any preference in this conflict, and so their reporting is consistently more even handed than any US or European outlets, which have all descended into cheerleading.

Pilot came on after a bit and announced that we had a minor problem, would be circling for a while and would be late getting to N.O. After a while the gear came up and we eventually safely landed. What happened is still a mystery to me. All I got from the crew was "Bu By".

She was elected as a fluke 4 years ago when straight party voting was still allowed and there was OrangeManBad mania that got the marginal (and fraudulent) D vote out. No one ever thought she was going to win; she was just a placeholder on the ballot. She was in graduate school at Columbia University in New York when she was elected.
Lina Hidalgo is a Peruvian immigrant who grew up in the Houston suburbs, went to Stanford, came home for a while and her entire job experience prior to being elected was being a medical translator. Not like translating medical documents, but working at the hospital and when patients came in who spoke only Spanish, she translated for them.
She was profoundly unqualified for the job. County judge is the equivalent of governor (Harris County is more populous than 22 states). She had never been to a meeting of commissioners' court. When the first emergency happened on her watch (a fire at an oil products terminal), she tweeted instructions to the county emergency services departments on Twitter. She did not know that there was an Emergency Operations Center for the county. (More)

So I'm looking out the window, and the houses are pretty close, I see people in their pools, looking up, I'm think you know I think that runway should be coming up - and then we're maybe only 20 or 30 feet above the rooftops and I feel the pilot go HARD full throttle on every engine and I'm thinking daaammmmnnn.... I think his tires hit the strip 6 inches past the start of the runway. Asshole.

On the one hand, nowhere in the story does it say it's a "credit" card.

YouTube has recently ruled (temporarily I still pray) that I'm unworthy to exist, so all the links and embeds of that video are cancelled.
SO I just uploaded a 360Mb WMV copy of the video to my website. Should be available for downloading or whatever your browser does... link in nic. Let me know if it was good for you.

TLDR; He wants to bring back the gold standard. It would work, as Green says. Doesn't mean it's going to happen.
The reason we went off of the GS for the 3rd time was that France was buying up greenbacks, and redeeming them for US gold, iirc. Fort Knox was rapidly being drained, so tptb (Nixon) banned redemptions. Ta-ta, gold standard, this time for good.
Still, it's a better system than valuing tulip bulbs as currency. That 'worked' for a short time too.

Biden isn't the issue. It's the meglomania of the careerists in the US (probably five eyes, too) intelligence community that drove them to overthrow Ukraine's legitimate Russia friendly government with one guaranteed to serve DC interests, which forced Russia to respond militarily in Crimea (securing its only naval base that never freezes over), then in the liberation of the Donbas (and the ethnic Russians whose Rights have been suppressed by the DC puppet regime in Kiev).

The giveaway is that only Grumman can produce a carrier rated landing gear that'll take that kind of punishment.
And before you say "BOEING F/A-18", do keep in mind that before it was Boeing, it was Northrup/Grumman. Northrup had developed the XF-17 to compete against the General Dynamics XF-16, and the '16 won that match. But Northrup brought in Grumman as a development partner, and it was Grumman which developed the landing gear as now found on the F/A-18.
An assemblage of Grumman struts and wheels on a 747 though, would just about max out the Gross High & Hot weight limits on the entire 747 airframe. They don't call it Grumman Iron Works for nothing!

She was elected as a fluke 4 years ago when straight party voting was still allowed and there was OrangeManBad mania that got the marginal (and fraudulent) D vote out. No one ever thought she was going to win; she was just a placeholder on the ballot. She was in graduate school at Columbia University in New York when she was elected.
She was elected 4 years ago by the Beto-Mania women voters in Harris County voting the straight D ticket vote, when Beto ran against Ted Croz.

Our once upon a time almost "sister site" Hot Air was populated by "AllahPundit" who wound up being a crypto-socialist cake boy and Ed "Miniosoota Nice but not DFM swearsies" Morrissey.
AnalPundit spent all his time explaining why the donks should win and Ed spent all his mediocre mental energy explaining why there should never be reciprocity for any donk overreach.
Ed's catchphrase when he is going full retard is "ion fairness."

I think they can process checks pretty much instantaneously these days. ACH images or something.
I bought my current automobile brand new in 201x, with a personal check. Minus trade-in, but still a check for five figures, at a dealership I had not dealt with before.
The previous dealer wanted a certified check back in 200x.

Nixon went off the Gold Standard because between Johnson's social programs, and Nixon's additions, AND the cost of running the Vietnam war and all the foreign aid, the US had to print more Dollars than it had gold reserves, and unless the Dollar was converted to fiat it would have bankrupted the US and ended the Dollar's position as being the principal currency for international trade.
The actual argument against gold is that it is hard to do international clearing with gold, it is hard to transport and secure. It slows down money transfers between states and in credit between banks that don't trust each other. However the only better medium appears to be bitcoin and no one really trusts bitcoin

The Strong Fed basically set the demose of US currency in motion in my opinion.
Deciding to allow the UK to get back onto the Gold Standard at a deep discount coupled with Smoot Hawley led to second third and fourth tier order of effects on social(ist) spending and deficit spending to the moon not being emergency powers anymore.

Twitter is too valuable to the regime as a propaganda and censorship arm, Elon will never be allowed to own it.

I, being of Pure Blood, declare the Pursang to be the height of 1970s MX pedigree, and though other bikes might've won more, the Pursang is the only known Pure Blood of it's times.

Yeah, because people don't decide their government for themselves. Ever. They only get manipulated into it. That's how we know Trump is a Russian stooge.

"My whole garden crapped out this year. Turned out the 20 yards of dirt I bought for the beds were garbage"
"this year". What happened to last year's dirt? Did it get used up? Were you renting it, had to return it to the store? Did it evaporate, leaving just a big hole to be filled somehow?
And who buys dirt by the dump truck for gardening? Were you putting something in on top of a concrete patio in downtown NYC or something? Why would you do a thing like this and expect any kind of useful result from it? You need to know how stuff grows in the dirt in question before you can make any kind of plans around it. We started with basically pure clay. Added grass clippings, leaves, assorted vegetable discards from the kitchen, wood ash from the stove, everything went into the compost. Zero store-bought fertiilizer or much of anything else. Took a few years but it's highly productive with minimal effort now.

If only "right" was that simple.
Those ethnic* Russians in the Donbas? Know how they got there? After Stalin starved out Ukraine, he imported a bunch of Russians to take over.
* Russian-speakers. Ethnically, there's not a lot of differences between "Russian" and "Ukrainian". Putin does have a point about how close they are, not that it makes a bit of difference to justify an invasion.
A little closer historically, remember that at the breakup of the USSR, the US AND Russia agreed to recognize and defend Ukraine if they would return all the nukes the Russians left there. That's worked out well, hasn't it?

Yeah no clue. There are a lot of farms around me, and they look like a frigging wasteland in winter, as if nothing would grow there. The soil looks dead, but damn if they don't grow amazing stuff in the summer. There is a little farmers stand about a mile from me. Always has fresh produce, really nice stuff too, and if nobody is there you just leave the money in a box and take what you want.

Rutgers. Still our favorite variety. At one time, Rutgers was the most popular commercial tomato. Times changed due to mechanization and nationwide nature of tomato distribution.
Rutgers with the help of Campbell's Soup Co, recreated the original Rutger's tomato. It's called Rutger's 250. You can get the seeds, and we are for next year.

I went to raised beds, asshole. I had to fill them up somehow. I suppose I could have kept digging the soil below them to fill them, but then I would have up with beds 30' below ground. Like your IQ.

It's getting late, and my brain ain't working so hot, but back in the day, Rutgers was developed in the '30s. It became the most popular commercial tomato, accounting for 60% of the market. This was back in the '40s and into the '50s, IIRC.
Back then, commercial vegetable production was more local. It fell out of favor with increasing mechanization and national distribution. The Rutgers variety had a very short shelf life after picking, and didn't stand up to mechanical handling very well.
Thus they began to breed commercial tomatoes for longer shelf life and tolerance to rough mechanical handling. Taste suffered. This is why store bought tomatoes just don't taste as good as home grown.
Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (Mzdiz) at October 14, 2022 03:30 AM (Mzdiz)
Anyway, Rutger's U. as some celebration of their 250th anniversary, started some project to recreate that original Rutger's variety. Campell's Soup, which was involved in the original development, helped out -- they still had records and samples of the original breeding stock and stuff.
They succeeded, and called the variety Rutger's 250.

I looked that up. Complicated. Refrigerated properly, it can be 2 weeks, with some up to 20 days. Temperature is critical. If you get them too cold, it will fuck them up.
The optimum temperature for ripe tomatoes is 44 - 50F. That's higher than fridge temperature.

I had this one tomato, was a bit pink when I bought it, so left it out for maybe 3 or 4 days before using.
Got the bacon cooked, was ready to make sammiches...sliced that 'mater open and saw that its seeds were sprouting inside it! Ugh.

Each is largely a catalog containing every available handgun and long gun of just about every make and model, but with no listings at all for military rifles.
But there are articles, the lead one in Shooter's Bible titled "The Great American Gun War."
