In Bat Is Best Bird News, one year ago today -- well, depending on the vagueries of the International Date Line -- New Zealand voted for its bird of the year: A bat.

CNN:

New Zealand's annual Bird of the Year competition has been won by the country's only land mammal: the pekapeka-tou-roa, or long-tailed bat.

Um, this is the country's only land mammal, CNN? Are you sure of that?


This is the first time the bat -- or, indeed, any non-bird -- has been part of the competition, which is organized by New Zealand's Forest & Bird conservation charity.
"Kiwis clearly love their native bat," Forest & Bird's Bird of the Year spokesperson, Laura Keown, said in a statement Monday announcing the result. "A vote for bats is also a vote for predator control, habitat restoration, and climate action to protect our bats and their feathered neighbours!"

The vote was #rigged by Duncanthrax.

The Maori word "manu," which is the type of animal the contest was about, apparently doesn't just mean bird, but includes any winged creature, including butterflies and, yes, bats, so this isn't as zoologically incorrect as it may seem.

Here's a video of New Zealand's outgoing Bird of the Year.

From The World of Violence, these clips from Violence Correspondent Steve Inman.

A punk sucker-headbutted a fat guy, thinking he'd be an easy guy to cheap shot. Plot Twist: The fat guy is not an easy guy to cheap shot. In fact, he's not the guy you want to cheap shot at all.

This is actually like a movie fight, instead of the regular two-drunk-guys-grappling-each-other-shirtless fight. One of the punching bags tries to grapple with the big guy -- just to get him to stop punching him -- but the big guy says "Nah, brah" and pushes him to the ground and then punches him in the face.

The big guy is throwing nothing but knockout punches, looping hooks that really, honestly, shouldn't work, but they totally do, and send these guys toppling like bowling pins.

Youth vs. wisdom.

Textbook leg sweep.

Sweep & tickle.

Car says, it's not you, it's me.

Tall dude does the old "Here, p*ssy, take a free undefended shot at my chin" Power Move and finds out why that's not really a thing people do.

At Rumble, a compilation of people effing around and iffing out. Note that the first clip is a criminal attacking a woman who has a gun and gun training and that ends up in a shooting, so if you don't want to see that, skip 33 seconds.

The next clip of a guy in a tie dye taking down a carjacker with multiple trips is almost as bad, to be honest.

What's cuter than a baby armadillo? Probably nothing, that's what.

Unless... unless we bring a baby giraffe or baby elephant trying to walk for the first time into the mix.

This little guy is having a tough time with the new feet.

21 Danggit ace, still teasing me about Porto.

I wonder if most or at least parts of Portugal are still slow and quiet. Used to be case, even for Lisbon really, but I heard that EU-ization had taken its toll on the country's off-the-grid vibe. Only one way to check, I guess.

A trip doesn't really fit into the plans right now, but that $/Euro rate is unlikely to get much better any time soon.

Unless there's some general collapse in Yurup, of course.

55 New Zealand had no indigenous land mammals when the Maori, then the British, came to visit, and eventually settle (Maori were not "indigenous" either, their presence was seasonal fishing camps for eons before actual settlement).

At least that's what I was told when I was there. And it explained some the peculiar problems. Kiwis, for example, aren't endangered because of habitat, SUVs, Big Oil, or imaginary climate change. They're endangered because they evolved being able to make nests on the ground, with zero barrier to access, since there were no mammal predators to worry about.

96 At least that's what I was told when I was there. And it explained some the peculiar problems. Kiwis, for example, aren't endangered because of habitat, SUVs, Big Oil, or imaginary climate change. They're endangered because they evolved being able to make nests on the ground, with zero barrier to access, since there were no mammal predators to worry about.

It's been a bad year for skunks in this part of Michigan. Not sure why, maybe a good year of population growth. We did see a family with lots of young trooping through the neighborhood early in the summer.

182 164 How do twitter posts migrate/get transposed to nitter?

Posted by: EdmundBurkesShade at November 02, 2022 08:13 PM (ccdQn)

++++

If you want to do it manually, switch the "tw" in twitter to "n". But, if you don't want to hassle with all that, get a redirector addon for your browser and set it up with that. After the initial setup, no more fuss. You click on a Twitter link and it goes to Nitter instead.

183 For those who like active (and often fairly hazardous) outdoor activities, don't miss NZ. South Island, mostly. Of course the spectacular scenery (the Ring movies can give you a taste).

I'm trying to imagine how the folks in the smaller towns down south took the nonsense coming from Auckland during The Great Idiocy. Hard to see them complying with such crap. Extremely quiet, extremely Scottish, very independent.

Anyway get there if the great outdoors appeal to you, and give yourself some time. A month wasn't enough.

Elon Musk To Fire Half Of Twitter On Friday

||Taking a page out of Thanos' playbook (or is that Zorg), in two days Elon Musk will finally do what he has repeatedly warned he would do: unleash mass layoffs at the company he just acquired.

According to Bloomberg, the world's richest man will eliminate 3,700 jobs at Twitter - roughly half of the company’s entire workforce - in a bid to drive down costs following his $44 billion acquisition; Musk will inform affected staffers Friday, said the Bloomberg sources. Oh, and all those masked snowflakes who previously raged against the previous management's "draconian" demand to come back to the office, you're out of luck too: Musk intends to reverse the company’s existing work-from-anywhere policy asking what few employees remain to report to offices.||

From several accounts, Falwell Jr. had pervlike tendencies other than that of the pool boy. My guess is exaggeration by the pool boy but Falwell Jr. is a perv. He resigned pretty darn fast after this latest came to light.

The Cheat machine never figured on having to cheat in D+10 districts. Ditto for imperiled Senate seats in blue states like Nevada or now New Hampshire. Plus, sugardaddy Zuck is sitting this one out as his fortune is dwindling. His Zuck bucks paid for a lot of the illegal cheating done on the ground such as the rental in Brown County WI where Dem party operatives were given real time off site access to voter registration and history files. The ballot drops are being watched by video and ballot harvesters are now being identified. Some states have also made it a lot harder to do an Abrams such as requiring voter id to be sent in with their absentee ballot.

This was a desperate plea to turn the machines back on (see Trading Places movie).

In First Lensman there was an election between a ultra-good guy, Roderick Kinnison, the leader of the Triplanetary Service (an early Galactic Patrol), and a hack politician leading the forces of darkness for The North American President.

The election was all in one day, and members of the Triplanetary Service are present at every single polling place. They had holstered blasters, and deep knowledge of every legitimate voter in the precinct.
An absolutely clean election was the result. And good triumphed.

The army generally gets involved before anything happens in South America.
My favorite coup was the one against Stroessner in Paraguay (He got in through a coup in the 50's)
Two elements of the Army advancing in a pincers movement against the Presidential Palace had to stop and fight a short mortar battle caused by the senior commander of one wing firing a mortar round into the rear of the other wing of the pincer because he thought they were hanging back so he would have to take the brunt of the defense of the loyal troops.

Due to the Delay, Stroessner escaped to Brazil, only returning later to be stripped of his position.

Their electoral dikes have too many leaks to plug them all. They will lose the House, They will lose the Senate, and they will lose a helluva lot of lower races.

The big cheat worked in six urban areas with over two years to prepare, Covid allowing them to keep pollwatchers at bay, and even then they 'won' by the skin of their teeth. Several states have killed their primary weapon of cheating--unaccountable absentee ballots floating around.

But Covid is what the leftists used along with Zuck Bucks. They have neither now plus they have thoroughly pissed off the electorate by making them poorer by the week.

They had a pass from the GOP for fraud in 2020 as GOPe like McConnell and Fox News wanted Trump gone. McConnell is far weaker as a leader and Fox paid a price in ratings dips after 2020. Neither are probably going to cover for teh Dems this time. There are no Zuck bucks to pay off voter fraud specialists and so on.

I grew up in a voter fraud saturated state in the era of the Clinton machine. Even he got his ass clocked losing reelection in 1980 by a non-entity called Frank White when Clinton went too far in voters' eyes. Basically, in a wave election, fraud isn't enough.

Start with a fatty cut of stew meat (tallow is good). Brown thoroughly with pepper and salt or a good seasoning like Tony's, reduce heat and add onions (about 1/2 as beef and a tablespoon or so of minced garlic). In a separate pan, make a roux of flower and butter or oil. Deglaze beef pan with a red wine, about two cups for a dinner for two. Add beef broth about double the volume of beef/onions. Add herbs. Easy is an italian blend.

Simmer until beef is near fork tender. Add potatoes and carrots in equal portions to beef. Simmer until potatoes and carrots are near fork tender. Add roux to thicken, by adding broth to roux to thin, then back into stew. Thicken as desired. Add a bit of tomato paste or tomato sauce until you get that beef stew color you desire. Simmer until veggies and meat are fork tender.

Timing is the key between beef doneness and veggie doneness. You can overcook the beef, but you don't want to undercook the veggies. Season to taste. Enjoy.

The original Italian Anarchists were Anarcho-Syndicalists who traced their philosophy back to the Paris Commune. They were Communists, old-school, predating Marx. Their description actually means workers collectives without higher rulers.
Anarcho means without a king or ruler, and syndicate in Italian means union.
The political philosophy meant that the highest level of authority in a society is the workers' collectives, and all decisions would come from them, leveraging their value as the labor to make industry move.
They were very much socialists, and Anarcho-Socialists are their linear descendants, except they don't actual do any work.

The whole thing is a bust because there is no way to avoid the problem of the Iron Law of Oligarchy

Best chicken and dumplings I ever did was make the soup in a cast iron pot on the stove, then add the biscuits just before throwing the pot in oven to cook the biscuits. O. M. G.

why me hungry?

Military has a constitutional right to look over the election results. It's all machine based....sooooo.....we'll see.

FWIW - Lindell said he found millions of votes taken from Bolsonaro and given to Lula. Lindell also bought some of the same machines used.

Interesting. Thx for the information. I will try to check up on what is what down there. Simply put, it feels like the world is catching on fire with Ukraine, China-Taiwan, fraud in the USA, etc.

518 BS. If anyone was yelling, 'Where's Nancy?' more than likely it was Paul Sr., not the 'stranger.'

Also, why did unbalanced, illegal, unhoused migrant bring a laptop to the 'break-in?'

Try getting yourself a Ninja Foodi (the smaller size will do). More versatile.

525 Lot of people on edge right now and AOS has had a spate of all sorts of trolls.

I think for all of us, we know that the curtain is about to go up on the Third Act world wide. Tends to unsettle the mind a bit.

529 I wish I knew how to make stew. Me dear old Mum made a great beef stew. It was its own food group. I miss that.
Posted by: DB - a dark force thirsting for power at November 02, 2022 09:44 PM (geLO


Heat your deep pot or oven pan on the burner, drop in shortening
Dump in about a pound of chopped meat, stir until browned (You can dredge the meat in flour before frying if you like)
add salt pepper bay leaf and any other seasoning
Add chopped potatoes, carrots, onions (don't do radishes and potatoes but anything else is game)
Add a cup or more of chopped tomatoes, or 1/4 cup of beer, red wine, apple juice or water

Cover and bake at 275F for about two hours (for a roast it is an hour a pound, but you have the veggies to cook too) that low of a temperature you need to cook it extra long, it won't dry out if it is covered

Serve with a salad and toast points.

Just depends on what you like in your stew. Start with Beef and add the veggies you like. Avoid the squishy ones as they tend to disintegrate over time. Starchier ones do just fine.

Cheaper cuts work fine if you have time to marinade them over at least several hours prior to cooking. Several ways to tenderize the beef and add flavor from meat tenderizer, fruit/vinegar marinades, or as Kindltot mentions, red wine even the opened bottle leftover stuff gives an excellent taste while tenderizing the beef.

Experiment and have fun--use whatever recipe in a book as a starter--Better Home and Gardens or the Joy of Cooking are two all encompassing decent cookbooks. Then add spices and complexity with each version you make.

I agree. It is impossible for everyone but the criminals to measure the magnitude of the crime in advance.
