The Quotes of The Day


Quote I

‘We are supporting the police with their investigation.’ A spokesperson for British Airways


I really don't think you had much of a choice there spokesperson.


Quote II

“I think we have to be very careful about what we are as a constitutional republic. I am not a fan of Ilhan Omar. She’s an anti-Semite. She’s a bigot. She’s a racist. She’s a socialist. But that doesn’t mean that we cancel people in this country. Republicans don’t stand for cancel culture. And that’s essentially what this is.” Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC)


Quote III

“I’ve been trying to understand the driving ideas underneath this globalist utopian tyranny that seems to be developing from the top-down, and I think it’s driven at least in part by this religious vision that I already described — you know, that you have to construe culture itself, especially industrial culture, as the tyrannical father raping and pillaging everything in its way, which is [an] unbelievably dangerous way to think — too one-sided,” Dr. Jordan Peterson


Quote IV

“As a result, Moderna made $19 billion in profits over the past two years and its CEO [Stephane Bancel] became a billionaire who is now worth over $6 billion. What is Moderna doing to thank the American taxpayer for their generous support? It plans to raise the price of the COVID-19 vaccine by 400 percent up to $130 when it goes on the commercial market. Meanwhile, it costs just $2.85 to manufacture the product.” Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT)

In the next installment of the Deplorable Gourmet, crickets and this crap will not be featured, amirite?

New ‘Mega Ranch’ Will Grow 45 Million Pounds of Mushroom Root for Plant-Based Meat

Last July, New York-based startup MyForest foods announced the opening of a vertical farm that would grow three million pounds of mycelium a year, all for plant-based bacon. Now competitor Meati Foods is blowing them out of the water with a facility that will be able to produce more than 45 million pounds of product once it’s fully scaled up. The company announced the opening of a factory it’s calling “Mega Ranch” in Thornton, Colorado (a suburb north of Denver) last week.

Meati makes a variety of plant-based imitation meat products, or “animal-free whole-food proteins,” including a classic steak, carne asada, a classic cutlet, and a crispy cutlet. The meats are made of 95 percent mushroom root, with additional ingredients including oat fiber, seasonings, fruit and vegetable juices, and lycopene (for color). With up to 17 grams of protein and 12 grams of dietary fiber per serving, the company says the meats are comparable to their animal-derived counterparts in nutritional value.

The faculty lounge meets the board room. Rubber hits the road.

Arrival (NASDAQ:ARVL) became the latest company to announce a sizable headcount reduction on Monday.

According to a press release, the company is seeking to lay off half of its global staff in order to reduce operating costs. The cut equates to 800 total employees and will be coupled with “cost reductions in real estate and third-party spending” to reduce operating costs to $30M per quarter.

Additionally, the Luxembourg-based EV startup announced the appointment of a new CEO. Effective immediately, Igor Torgov, former Arrival EVP of Digital, will fill the top spot. Torgov replaces interim CEO Peter Cuneo, who himself replaced current board chair and company founder Denis Sverdlov as CEO in late November 2022.

The University of Wisconsin has egg on its face. As well as it should. Create make believe positions get make believe people.

The University of Wisconsin-Madison awarded a $5,000, 10-week residency to an art scholar who pretended to be of Native American descent, so the scholar could develop a "toolkit and curriculum around cultural appropriation," before resigning.

Kay LeClaire, who uses they/them pronouns, labeled themselves as "two spirit," an Indigenous term used to describe those who identify with both masculine and feminine qualities.

LeClaire had, for years, falsely claimed "Métis, Oneida, Ojibwe and Cuban heritage" and had even adopted an Ojibwe name, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported.

Boo-fucking-hoo.....
Federal employees have already received a 4.6% bump this year from President Biden, but that’s not good enough for Democrats who are proposing another 8.7% raise on top of that because workers were subjected to the supposed cruelty of former President Trump during his administration and the pandemic.

The raises affect 2 million federal workers and would take effect in 2024.

“For years now, federal employees have risked their health and safety working on the frontlines of this pandemic,” Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-VA) declared in a press release announcing that he and ​Sen. Brian Schatz (D-HI) would reintroduce the Federal Adjustment of Income Rates​ for FAIR Act to Congress. It is unlikely to pass with Republicans now controlling the purse strings in the House of Representatives.

Certain people bring upon their own misery. I laugh.

‘It wasn’t even good’: Subway airport customer says footlong sub with only veggies cost her over $16
'Their quality has gone so down hill.'

A user on TikTok has sparked discussion after claiming they paid $23.46 AUD (around $16.78 USD) for a footlong Subway sandwich containing only veggies — and “it wasn’t even good.”

It's only a matter of time before this bullshit flows from the UK to us. Council will BAN most cars from driving through 75% of its roads in enormous crackdown on traffic and pollution

Hackney Council has approved plans for six more low-traffic neighbourhoods
The east London borough already has the highest number of LTNs in the capital
Its three-year Local Implementation Plan aims to tackle traffic and pollution

A Labour-run council is set to ban most vehicles from 75 per cent of its roads as it expands its network of low-traffic neighbourhoods.

Hackney Council has approved plans to introduce six more of the controversial schemes over the next three years.

The east London borough already has the highest number of LTNs in the capital with 19 and half of its roads restricted by traffic filters.

The plans will increase this to three quarters of its streets.

Say, about that wind power, is it really feasible?

WHERE YOU GONNA PUT THOSE WIND TURBINES?
There are several reasons why wind and solar energy are doomed to fail, but the most basic is that they are low-intensity energy sources. They produce ridiculously little electricity per acre. Thus, Robert Bryce, one of our top energy experts, calculated in a paper he wrote for American Experiment that if we wanted to get all of our electricity needs from wind turbines, we would have to dedicate an area twice the size of the State of California.

Have an addiction? Besides The ONT that is. Perhaps these remedies will help.


(Natural News) First and foremost, overcoming addictions is physical. The human body has several cleansing organs that get taxed and overworked, in desperate need of cleansing. Second, specific vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants get drained, leached, and depleted from the body due to the addiction(s), making it harder to recover and not relapse, especially for those who are unaware of the natural remedies that need to be replenished.

Whether you are addicted to sugar, caffeine, alcohol, or nicotine, there are natural solutions available at health food stores online and in the retail sector, and they won’t cost you an arm and a leg to load up on either. Time to do a little digging. Engage in a little research, and find out the best natural remedies for overcoming common addictions. Don’t feel bad. Don’t blame yourself. Don’t feel defeated. You can win this important battle, and you’ll feel great knowing you came out on top, the natural way.

No Top Secret documents. No debt ceiling fight. No FBI violations. Just good old fashioned Otter wrassling.

A family of otters are having the time of their lives playing on the ice. Slipping, sliding, and rolling all over each other. They eventually swim away.

Thirty-five-year-old wildlife guide for Yellowstone Adventure Tours Andrea Baratte loves seeing these adorable otters in the park. She shared the captured footage and story with LatestSightings.com.

Nothing wrong being judged by a jury of your peers. Unless your peer is bedridden. Genius Award Winner.

A 99-year-old bedridden woman is facing criminal charges after she failed to appear for jury duty. Marion Lenko recently received a jury summons at her senior care facility.

In December, a summons was sent to her son-in-law Edward Ritchuk, who lives in a suburb of Montreal, Canada, ordering Lenko to appear in January.

"When I first received the letter, I thought it was a joke," Ritchuk told the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.

Ritchuk emailed Lenko's son, who lives in Florida, but he never sent a response indicating that his mother is unable to serve as a juror.

As a result, Lenko is now facing criminal charges.

One is never too old to be a productive and meaningful citizen. Tonight's Feel Good Story of The Day.

A 100-year-old reading volunteer has been awarded the prestigious British Empire Medal in the 2023 New Year Honours.

Peter Davies, a World War II veteran, spends his free time reading to local school children. After losing his wife of 72 years, Davies said he felt like a "lost soul" and so he decided to begin volunteering at Dean Valley Community Primary School in Bollington -- a town and civil parish in Cheshire, England.

"I'm sure I get more out of it than the children do. It is a lovely, warm feeling [that] I belong," Davies told the BBC. "I'm not this old man who lives on his own. I'm part of the community, which is great."

He says it's also giving him "street cred" in his village.

34 So… how you doin, folks?

Here in N.E. Okla., we've been stuck in below-freezing for a couple of days, and expect a couple more before a break. Other than what looked like a few moments of frozen mist this morning, no precipitation.

Meanwhile, just a few miles north of us, in town, a nice dusting of snow, icy streets, and Daughter had to sweep hail off her front porch. South of us is also reportedly snowed in.

Just lucky we only have MIND-NUMBING COLD! (Relatively. Hardly Minnesota levels, and your mind may vary.)

Last thread, some were talking about "the comet". It's C/2022 E3 (ZTF). I had to add it to Stellarium's minor object database (you can do that from the solar system editor plugin under configuration, just do an online search on the designation).

Anyway, right now, apparent magnitude is about 5.4. It will be at its brightest on Feb 1. Current position is
RA(alpha) = 8h30min and some change, and declination (delta) = 78d55' and some change. It's moving like a mofo.

That puts it a little above the Little Dipper and slightly to the east.

By Feb 10, it will be close to Mars, but it will be much dimmer.

None of that shit matters. What matters is the Dems banned some GOPers from committee assignments when they were in charge. The GOP *must* return the favor. Dems banned two, so the GOP bans three. The Dems will eventually have a chance to decide whether they want to continue down the same road or to back off.

Or the GOP can puss out and let the Dems get away it without consequences.

And I know what to expect from today's GOP.

115 Modern Government Corruption

Even funnier, a well-known black grifter in Portland set up a nonprofit that got a couple of million dollars post-Saint Fentanyl from governments and foundations.

One of the things he was supposed to do was set up a basic income program (for black people only, of course - here in Oregon, governments no longer have to comply with the Civil Rights Act).

However, the money's disappeared; the nonprofit hasn't made its IRS filing, because it can't find an accountant willing to sign off on the filing; and the grifter himself went "on vacation" in early December, saying he'd be back in "mid-January". No sign of him back in town yet.

Should she hereafter barge her way in, then she should be shot as a spy. And you should be shunned as a Traitor. Or at least, shunned as a dunce, dupe, idiot and patsy. Your betters in the House should slap you, but that'd be unpleasant. Shit splatters.

Way back when the Soviet Union had collapsed and travel was just starting to open up, an Alaska Airlines crew on a flight to Siberia requested, and got, permission from corporate to buy many gallons of vodka for wing deicing purposes.

221 And when the wind stops blowing, it will still put out zero.

In the Pacific Northwest, the wind doesn't blow when it is very hot, and when it is very cold. So, wind is useless when dealing with temperature events that stress the electrical system, which means you should build less wind.

The local bureaucracy in charge of "electrical reliability" didn't like that, so they tried to change the assumptions and claim that some wind would be still be operating during extreme temperature events.

The adults in the room slapped them down. There have been big wind turbines in the Northwest for thirty-five years - you don't have to guess what wind will do during extreme temperature events, since we have lots of empirical data.

I got a tour of a mushroom mine which was originally a coal mine. There were these long, raised beds of mushrooms. Each bed held mushrooms at the same growth cycle. So bed A, the mushrooms were a week old. Bed 2, two weeks old and so forth until the bed was picked and then restarted at week one.

To get free admittance to concerts in college, I would do all sorts of jobs from door security, ticket taking and so forth. For the Fogleberg concert I was part of a gang setting up the stage in basketball arena.

Fogleberg came in on one of the upper arena floors and was chatting with us. He declined our some what course worded invitation to join us setting up the stage. He did leave us signed copies of the Innocent Age album. It disappeared a couple of years later.

321 I have a love seat against the back wall of the back room of my house, below the window. Out the window is a little ledge above the basement (that part of the room is angled off rather than a corner) and there's a large, wooden fence separating me and my neighbors. Prettygirl, my very athletic and energetic cat, will be out back; I'm lounging on the love seat. I hear a rumble that sounds like some kind of commotion out back. Suddenly, there's a "BAM!" as Prettygirl launches herself through the open window, over the entire love seat (with me on it), and then sprints out of the back room, down the hall to the front door, and up an old mattress I've got leaning against the wall. I really need to get video of it.

366 F-16s aren't like artillery shells in a caliber for which you have tubes. You don't just hand them over and - poof! - new capability. So they wouldn't play in a relevant time frame anyway. And, like all these other kinds of hardware, they won't change any fundamentals.

There's no "escalation" from Moscow's point of view that's relevant to their minimal objectives. They're not going to not "liberate" and integrate D & L (absent some near miraculous change in leadership to people who lack a Russian perspective entirely). And that's a mundane blocking/tackling bit of mud wrasslin' that isn't going to be determined by specific hardware.

Lucky drone strike in Moscow. Lucky hit on some airbase (there have already been several such attacks). Assassination (been one of those, too). More tanks from the west.

None of this changes any fundamentals. So long as Moscow has the will and desire to pursue its attainable objectives (pro tip: military non-alignment of Ukraine, by far the top objective, no longer attainable, if it ever was) - it will pursue them. And likely attain them. Boring. No nukes even considered, of course, irrelevant and not very useful. Just a slog.

411 Why are there gingerbread men but not gingerbread women?
It’s the pastryarchy.

Did you hear about the grandma who died after eating too many gingerbread houses last night?
The doctors diagnosed her with a rare case of “munch-housing-syndrome.”

What does the gingerbread man have for nipples?
Oreoles.

The full justification starts with how Padme would dress up followed by asserting Cosplay = Drag.

But yeah Crossplay is the accurate term but only those of us who attend anime cons would get that reference. So they dumbed it down for the masses and themselves.

There was an episode of Columbo, I think the one where Robert Culp was the murderer, the subliminal messaging murderer (Culp was 3-time murderer).

Anyway, there's caviar at the murder scene, and Columbo helps himself, and likes it. Then somebody tells him how much that shit cost. He puts it down and backs away... slowly.

Speaking of Columbo, Sundance TV is running S1, E1 of Columbo. Jack Cassidy is the murderer, Martin Millner is the victim.

This was the first episode of the regular series that began. There were two others before that, but they weren't any regular season episode. THe very first one was sort of movie, that introduced the Columbo character. Late '60s. This was sort of proto-Columbo. The character hadn't fully developed in the disheveled faux stumble-bum.

The next one was a pilot for a regular series. Lee Grant played a lady-lawyer murderer.
