A tragic combination. Billy Baldwin: ‘Any uprising’ by Trump supporters over arrest ‘will be over in two Ashli Babbitts’ Billy Baldwin’s Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) was dialed all the way up Saturday as the fraternal coattail-riding actor employed a vile form of measurement that appeared to celebrate use of deadly force against unarmed Americans exercising their First Amendment rights. Leftists everywhere began building their hopes up greater than a child on Christmas Eve as they set to imagine how things would unfold in the coming week should the ever-closing in walls actually close in on former President Donald Trump. If this story is true, here is hoping that they find good representation and obtain the J6 video footage. Report: Biden Regime to Arrest 700-1,200 ADDITIONAL January 6 Capitol Protesters Federal prosecutors in Washington D.C. have told court officials to expect an additional 700-1,200 arrests and charges in connection with the January 6 Capitol protests. Over 1,000 protesters have already been arrested and charged, with the most common guilty plea being picketing in a federal building, essentially trespassing. While such an offense generate a fine if any action at all, federal prosecutors and judges have thrown the book at January 6 protesters and have signaled that they will continue to do so.

CNN Reporter Robbed Multiple Times in SF Shines Unflattering Spotlight on California’s Crime Crisis How a man stranded in freezing, snow-bound Oregon woods used a drone to call Uganda for help Casey Ryan had a free Sunday. His wife and four children were out of town. The 37-year-old Eugene photographer could do whatever he wanted. Instead of loafing around the house, Ryan decided to seek out the contentment and peace he always found in nature. He called a buddy, explaining his newly hatched plan to explore a section of the Willamette National Forest. His friend was in. The two men, along with Corduroy, Ryan’s chocolate lab, climbed into Ryan’s four-wheel drive. Not too long later, Ryan turned onto Forest Service Road 19. Boomers Are Unimpressed With Current Trends in Society, Miss the Good Ol' Days Someone on a social media platform asked, “what’s your most painful boomer take”? Over 600 suspected boomers aired their opinions on various issues across life and society. Many boomers seem to have nostalgia, lamenting the shortcomings of modern times. Elected politicians cause enormous harm to us. But what will be the death of the USA will be the unelected scum sucking bureaucrats. From the Consumer Product Safety Commission to the CDC to the Federal Reserve all of these agencies should be terminated and their employees sent to work in warehouses or coffee shops. Public outrage over this news forced Biden's minions to rethink their plan. But they didn't take long to sneak back to it. The Energy Department announced regulations that will ban the sale of nearly all gas stoves on the market. It would ban the sale of 96% of gas stoves currently being purchased, to say nothing of the models bought years ago. The stoves that meet the new regulation requiring minimum emissions technology comprise only a 4% market share. So this would be, for all intents and purposes, a ban on gas stoves.Too inept to realize the stove that is plugged into a receptacle uses electricity more than likely produced by a fossil fuel. I believe there is a special place in Hell for them. In Australia it is much cheaper to illegally park in a Handicap space. The current public EV charging infrastructure is scarce enough without having internal combustion engine (ICE) cars taking up charging spots. While there may have been some confusion when public car charging first hit the scene, there really isn't much of an excuse for parking an ICE car in an EV charging spot anymore. Which is why, according to ABC News, in certain parts of Australia, you can actually be fined for doing so, up to $3,200. Four of Australia's states and territories—Australia Capital Territory (ACT), Victoria, New South Wales (NSW), and Queensland—have introduced fines for parking an ICE car in an EV charging spot. The fines range from the lowest in Victoria ($369), to the highest in ACT ($3,200) for what is now called "ICE-ing." It is nice to know that the USA isn't the only Woke nation. On the bright side they won't be spending lots of money on footware. Genius Award Winners. Eight years after first using the drug, Oliveri got pins and needles and woke up unable to walk. Experts are worried about nitrous oxide's potential harms amid the rise of super-size canisters.

EXCELSIOR, Minn. — Two men face felony charges stemming from the December break-in and vandalism of a chocolate shop in Excelsior that led to a big community reaction. Alexander Running, 19, of Lester Prairie, and Karsten Luttschwager, 20, of Minneapolis are both charged with 3rd-degree burglary and 1st-degree damage for property for allegedly breaking into Truffle Hill Chocolates and spraying a fire extinguisher throughout the entire store, ruining all the chocolate during the lead-up to the busy Christmas season.

That last photo puts me in mind of the latest shooting that happened at a local mall.
The patrons heard the reports and all took off running. One of the runners had an illegally concealed handgun that went off, shooting him in the leg. Turns out the first sounds were those of a ladder falling and hitting the ground. I suspect (although it hasn't yet been confirmed) that the actual gunshots were due to the illegally concealed firearm being stuffed into a waistband sans holster, which slipped when it's owner took off running, and the subsequent grab to prevent further slippage caught the trigger.

Boomers love to bitch about the next generation but lack the self-awareness to ask well gee, who raised that generation? And they bitch about the next generation removed, but again lack the self-awareness to ask well gee, who modeled the parenting for the generation that raised the next generation removed? And so on.

Update: My son has been in the hospital since Wednesday. They are scheduling him for surgery in the next few days, to remove a tumor that is located right at the point where the spinal cord connects into the brain.
They have determined that the tumor has not spread to other areas of his body. As a friend said, "That's good news -- now you know it's only a brain tumor!" We won't know the kind of tumor, or prognosis or treatment, until they have removed it and sent it to the lab for biopsy. Thanks again for all of your prayers and friendship.

The Daily Mail provided shocking video from Putin's visit to Crimea a couple of days ago showing that:
PUTIN IS LIMPING! I REPEAT, PUTIN IS LIMPING! This obviously means that Putin is at death's door. And, as we all know, if Putin dies, Ukraine immediately wins a complete and utter victory. The Russians have obviously censored all the videos of Putin constantly taking pratfalls going up and down the stairs to his plane.

They have to pick insane causes. And for two rather different reasons 1) America solved all the problems the left has argued about in the past - racism, pollution, etc. You can't argue you need an elect to solve everything when the normies already did. 2) Constantly changing what is a sin and what is a virtue allows you to constant purge your fellow elites.

This is why we need to continue to use the "woke" hammer on them.
That doesn't work though. I was reading about our favorite donut licker (not a euphemism amazingly) Ariana Grande. She's in black face nowadays and created a "black-cent". After pretending to be hispanic she now pretends to be black. A few people have tried to cancel her for it but...no one with any power. Why not? Well, she got her career launched on some Nickelodeon show. Her co-star, another teen girl at the time, wrote about how their producer tried to bed her and she said no. Note...that actress Jennette McCurdy, had her career ended over saying no... So why isn't Grande in trouble? Because she slept with the right people and they owe her favors. And this is the way the left works. So if you or I try to get a leftist in trouble for "wrong think" no one will care. It is just a tool for other leftist elites to use on each other.

Posted by: Locarno at March 19, 2023 10:42 PM (Vjom5) Well, you could, but. A Tesla battery and electric drive system can probably put 6 or 700 HP into the wheels at max acceleration, because the batteries can be drained at a very high rate. To get the same performance, you would need a large, high-performance gasoline engine driving a massive generator. Lot of weight there. But maybe something like a 25 kW genset feeding a much smaller storage battery could give you Prius-like performance. I expect you would have to shitcan all the pre-existing electronics, save for the actual motors. Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at March 19, 2023 10:51 PM (tkR6S) 155

And they bitch about the next generation removed, but again lack the self-awareness to ask well gee, who modeled the parenting for the generation that raised the next generation removed? And so on.

Well, I got a (very)few more feet of siding hung on the house today. It was fiddly-shit day, as the siding had progressed to the point where a mess of of both metal and flex conduits from the the service panel down below on the block wall enter the attic through holes bored in the sheathing board. I decided to box around all the conduit, and space that area out from the wall by 3 inches. That involved a lot of cutting and fitting. The box is built, and on the wall, and the siding above it is in place. Three and a half boards, all the same length, will face in the box, and then I can carry on.

A good portion of the blame for bad music from this generation goes to i-Heart and other mega-radio conglomerates.
I listen to a "local" station owned by i-Heart that plays 80s and 90s rock. Good music but the playlists never change, nothing played not on their set lists. Today's top-40 radio gets a non-stop playlist consisting mostly of Taylor Swift, Halsey, Lady Gaga, Meghan Trainor, and John Legend. There is some good music being produced, but you won't hear it on the vast majority of radio stations. Young people who comment on Youtube videos of classic rock songs often lament how their own generation's music is shit. Posted by: kbdabear at March 19, 2023 11:21 PM (qAR6u) 212

The spring (vernal) equinox is tomorrow, Mar. 20 at 21:24 Zulu, or 5:24PM EDT. The vernal equinox is generally considered the start of the tropical year (one complete cycle of seasons), and the sun is directly overhead at the equator at both equinoxes. At all other latitudes, the sun will rise and set pretty close to due east and west. The vernal equinox point on the celestial sphere defines the origin of equatorial coordinates (0,0) right ascension and declination.

Note that the Gregorian calendar year begins on Jan 1. Yet the tropical year begins at the equinox. It wasn't also so, and in Great Britain, the "Old Style" year began on March 25, pretty close to the equinox. The 25th is "Lady Day", or Annunciation Day. Great Britain didn't switch to the Gregorian calendar until 1752, and also switched the beginning of the year to Jan. They did not call it the Gregorian, just the New Style calendar, 'cause Catholic and didn't want anything to do with acknowledging that. They just called it the "New Style" calendar.

From a search: Some locomotives use DC generators and others use AC. Modern alternating current locomotives have better traction and adhesion and are used on trains that carry heavier loads. DC is still used because it is cheaper to manufacture.

What is this "mass formation psychosis" some people refer to? Hypnosis? It explains a lot, I think.
---- It used to be that musicians didn't make much money at all, even if they had a number one hit. The "British invasion" in '64 changed the music industry, suddenly the popular music scene shifted completely from NY to LA, reminiscent of the movie industry maybe? There was few year window of time where getting signed to a major label album contract wasn't out of the realm of possibility if you were in the right place at the right time. Some of those bands made bank. Neil Young famously bought a large California ranch for 100k in cash. Zeppelin hired a 6'7" huge manager named Peter Grant. In those days bands didn't make much money for live performances. They changed all that, demanding 90% of the gate, and got it. That was unheard of.

That switch to the New Style calendar made some odd changes that many people protested fiercely. It also affected many of the Founding Fathers, including George Washington, who were born before 1752. It did two things. It jumped the date forward 11 days, and also made 1752 be a year with only 9 months. There was no Jan, Feb, or most of March 1752. Many people protested they had 11 days stolen from them. And, if your birthday was in Jan, Feb, or Mar 1 to 24, you had a year added to your age after 1752. Washington was born on Feb 11, 1731 Old Style. He just used his proleptic birthday of Feb 22, 1732. Ben Franklin used a proleptic birthdate as well. The Founding Fathers were no dummies.

Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (Mzdiz) at March 20, 2023 12:38 AM (Mzdiz) There is one example I know of and that's The Mothers Of The Disappeared. These were mothers who protested the military junta in Argentina over their (mostly adult) children who 'vanished'. Most were killed. But those mothers had favorable press coverage, if not in Argentina itself but in the international press. With our Corporate Media being a propaganda arm of those in power, there is likely going to be no coverage at all. Look at how well the media ignored East Palestine, Ohio. Or the airport baggage thief the Administration thought would be good for its image. No media = It never happened. Now one could argue: But 'viral videos'! Well, "they" control that mechanism of distribution, too. Just look at how effectively anti-social media shut down any, and I mean any, negative comments/videos about COVID-1984 Dempanic policies, vax and multiple booster mandates, etc. It's taken over two years for the drug company-government connivance to be exposed.

AOP. Look at the lineup from the "YES" brand of welders.
At the $420 price point, there's one that I'd like for the small bit of welding I do. Does stick, TiG & MiG. Don't know if it meets your needs, you might need to go a couple three model numbers up the spec page? But the Welding Instructors at Galveston College LOVE these things, and recommend them highly. They say the perfect HV circuit control results in some of the finest beads they've ever set. Looks like a lot of box for the money, and it's GOT to be zillions of miles better than my cheep ass sub-Horror Fright puny MiG welder. That I just used to make a new set of gates. Strong, but anyone threatens to X-Ray my welds, I'm gonna hafta shoot 'im. Jim Sunk New Dawn Galveston, TX Posted by: Jim at March 20, 2023 12:44 AM (e6UQI) I am thinking the PrimeWeld TIG225X. Does DC, AC, and pulse, and the ratio of +/- cycle time can be adjusted. Comes with foot pedal, a top quality TIG torch, and runs on 120 or 240 volts. Seems to get very good reviews. And each parameter has its own control knob to set it. No damned menus to scroll through. Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at March 20, 2023 12:56 AM (tkR6S) 331

I've got a $39 Auto Darkening hood from Horror Fright. With my 1.5 readers behind it, it's doing a fantastic job, and I can dial-in the "darkening" to Just Right, in a trice. I'll dial the darkening to OFF for grinding though. Otherwise, sparks are enough to trigger the darkening, which is a PITA when grinding. But it sure is nice not to have to take off the helmet and don a face shield for the grinding. Just turn it off, and grind-on. That said, I'm going to REALLY up my investment in Welding Gloves. Not burn through problems, but falling apart lessons, galore! Jim Sunk New Dawn Galveston, TX Posted by: Jim at March 20, 2023 12:57 AM (e6UQI) 332

A neighbor of mine has a very old, Genuine Heliarc TIG machine. Old school indeed. Well, he's dead now, so it belongs to his son, now. The HF circuit in that is old style "Tesla tank" spark gap unit. There's a little side panel you remove to get to that, and it looks like some of the old school Frankenstein lab electrical stuff. Water cooled torch, and foot pedal. He could never do TIG with it, just used it for stick. Another neighbor was a TIG magician, and he would use it from time to time. He welded that neighbor up a nice stainless steel dye tank for his sprayer one time. He tried to teach that guy's son how to TIG, but gave up. Said junior tried to know more than he did, and it was quit or punch him in the face. Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (Mzdiz) at March 20, 2023 01:09 AM (Mzdiz) 335

Posted by: Dr. Bone at March 20, 2023 12:56 AM (Jg7EG) Well, I have 240 both here in AZ, and at home in Alberta. Here, I have a little Harbor Freight flux-core welder. Within its limitations, it works well. Weld a patch in a car floor? Weld up a window grille? Works fine. Not real pretty beads, though. It was well worth the $110 I paid for it. At home, I have a Daytona MIG. Made in Italy; bought for $400 circa 1986. I have run it ever since. The fancy rotary range switch crapped out about ten years ago, and I figured out a truth table for it, and replaced it with three toggle switches; one is main power, and the other two give the 4 heat ranges. It just keeps chugging right along. I use straight CO2 as shielding gas. The Daytona MIG is also a 120 volt machine. I have a stick welder for the heavy iron.

For the small bits of welding I do, I can accept a lot of compromises that publius and AOP would find unacceptable.
Were I to ramp up the tasking, I'd also be compelled to ramp up the quality and specs of the equipment. Where I count myself blessed, is a semester of 8th grade metal shop, and another in 9th grade, where I learned some basics. Amazing what one can do if they've paid attention, even 50 years ago.

Jim Sunk New Dawn Galveston, TX Posted by: Jim at March 20, 2023 01:13 AM (e6UQI) I have Zero skills at TIG, but I have been trying to learn. These new machines make it a lot easier. The older ones, you had to "scratch-start" the arc. Do it wrong, and the arc quits, or you bury the tungsten in the puddle, and have to resharpen it. Then they went to "lift TIG". The tungsten is not energized until you touch it to the work, and then lift off. Now you have HF start: hold the tungsten near the work, touch a foot pedal, and the arc starts.

AOP. My stick welding skills are:
Lincoln "doghouse" welder. 7018 rod. Farm & Ranch gates n' cattleguard type work. I'd need a mentor to advise me on other scopes of stick welding work. Old fashioned TIG, oddly, I can do. Because of you can strike a 7018 arc and not stick the electrode into the puddle, you can strike the tungsten, too. With, some practice. Okay. A LOT of practice. MIG is damn near chimp-welding. Biggest problem I've been working is light wall 1/2" square tubing fusing with heavy wall 1" square tubing. They don't LIKE one another, very much. Got it done, but it did take some trial and error, and a lot of "do overs", too. Jim Sunk New Dawn Galveston, TX Posted by: Jim at March 20, 2023 01:26 AM (e6UQI) 342
My wife used to work for a dentist.
She would get a call, as the nearest employee to the office, a few times a year regarding theft of the nitrous bottles from the shed where they were kept. I always tagged along. One evening the PD officer who had responded was telling me that hot-rodders were the usual culprits in these thefts. However, they had found a young man deceased sitting behind the steering wheel of his car with no apparent wounds, but the coroner said his brain had the consistency of scrambled eggs. A further search of the vehicle found a stolen nitrous tank in the trunk with the valve connected to a makeshift cannula setup coming up from under the driver's seat. The driver had want the nitrous high, but had not included a pressure regulator in his design and when he flipped the in-line valve got the nitrous slammed through his sinuses and into his brain at over 2,200 psi.

The old machines, such as that Heliarc, had HF start, using that old school spark gap oscillator. That's why they were so expensive. IIRC, the torch had a little switch for that. You could switch it off during welding, or leave it on continously, and you'd do that for varying conditions. That HF was notorious to "run everywhere", and that was a little trick they'd do with newbies, pop them with the HF.

There is not one linear inch of cannula tubing anywhere on the planet, that could deliver a +2000 psi blast of anything, without first bursting somewhere in the 100s of psi on the initial impulse.
Mind you, that's quite enough still, to blow apart a sinus and scramble a brain. Instant Democrat. Just add pressure and blow. Jim Sunk New Dawn Galveston, TX Posted by: Jim at March 20, 2023 01:40 AM (e6UQI) 345

Jim Sunk New Dawn Galveston, TX Posted by: Jim at March 20, 2023 01:26 AM (e6UQI) We are pretty much at the same level, I would say. Mostly, I burn 7018AC electrodes with my old buzzbox welder. It has DC capability, but I rarely have need to use it. Been using the MIG for autobody work, and light fabricating. CO2 causes a little more splatter than does argon or MIG mix, but costs hugely less, and esthetically-critical welds are going to get ground, anyway. To me, TIG holds the promise of 1. being able to do nice welds in aluminum or stainless, which are out of my scope right now, and 2. being able to make neat welds in thin steel that need less finishing.

Miklos. There was a whole post-war Japanese society of former Kamikaze and Kaiten pilots.
Even deep into the post-war years, they were some of the most venerated of Japanese Veterans. A newly re-militarized Japan will offer "surprises" to the history-ignorant world, I'm sure. And I think they'll function just FINE, in spite of no Shinto or Emperor Worship, too.
