Handyman turns the tables on squatters who took over his mother's house Squatting on the squatter: Man shares his story of reclaiming his mom's Northern California home A handyman turned the tables on suspected squatters who took over his mother's Northern California home. "If they could take a house, then I could take a house," Flash Shelton of the United Handyman Association said in a YouTube video. "They're the squatter, and they have rights. Well, then, if I become the squatter on the squatter, then I should have rights, right?"

If there’s one place one can find plenty of nicknames, it’s within the sprawling landscape of the armed forces. When it comes to the greater civilian world, there’s no historical precedent or agreed upon social norm for how someone or something gains a substitute informal title. However, given the Department of Defense’s fondness of rigid structure, it should be no surprise that when it comes to nicknames, there’s a policy for them, too. Meet NICKA
Prior to 1975, names for military operations and projects were exclusively chosen at the behest of military commanders. As a result, within the annals of American military history one can find a diverse range of interesting titles from Operation Killer—a major 1951 counter-offensive during the Korean War—to Operation Beaver Cage—a U.S. Marine Corps operation that occurred during the spring of 1967 as part of the Vietnam War.
Pat Sajak of Wheel of Fortune fame hams it up on the show.
Fred Fletcher-Jackson, a Wheel of Fortune contestant, recently won an impressive $75,800 in a "perfect game" on the game show. As he celebrated his victory, host Pat Sajak playfully "tackled" him from behind and put his arm in a "chicken wing" move. Some viewers criticized Sajak for the move, calling it "cringe." However, Fletcher-Jackson is actually a professional wrestler and drama teacher, and it's clear that Sajak thought he could goof around with him like this.

Hackers Render Tesla Car Unsafe to Drive, Win Themselves a Model 3
Synacktiv security researchers conquered two separate Tesla systems at a hackathon sponsored, in part, by Elon Musk's EV company. A Tesla Model 3, but not the one that security researchers won by breaking into its software systems at a hacking competition.

A group of security researchers have, once again, proven that Tesla vehicles’ high-tech software and systems are easily exploited. At Zero Day Initiative’s Pwn2Own 2023 hacking competition this week, cybersecurity firm Synacktiv successfully cracked both Tesla’s infotainment and Gateway networks in a Model 3 car, as first reported in a Zero Day blogpost.
An alleged kidnapping, duped investors and losses topping $40 million — those are some of the newest details emerging as authorities try to unravel what Canada's self-proclaimed Crypto King did with the money investors gave him. According to claims spelled out in a new trustee report from bankruptcy proceedings against Aiden Pleterski, while authorities were trying to track down millions of dollars given to him to invest, the 24-year-old was allegedly kidnapped in the middle of the night last December. The trustee believed much of it went to fuel a lavish lifestyle and that very little of it was actually invested. Pleterski's father told the trustee Pleterski was driven around Southern Ontario, beaten and tortured. Pleterski's landlord said he got a call asking for ransom of $3 million.

Interesting. The video describes the proportion of HE to Incendiary as something along the lines of 3:2 because of the lack of overall HE available and a surplus of Incendiary on hand.
The guy's overall take seems fairly balanced, pointing out similar issues as you do with the casualty figures as well as the 'strafing' supposed to have taken place.

Yeah, I've only very recently got back into console video game playing, I've been an old school retro gamer for a little over a year now.
I gave up playing video games at the turn of the century.
Seeing as there really isn't any quality episodic programing or movies being produced, video games are filling the gap.
I am very intrigued at the prospect of Disco Elysium tv series.
If it's done right, it could be a genre defining series.

I heard a lecture long ago given by an active USMC COL who held the position that tight ROE led to more civilian casualties (and US combatants) than fewer as the bad guys only respect overwhelming force and brutality anyway. He used as his personal examples Iraqi fighters using civilians as a block in front of the fighters. ROE at the time were (for us) to not shoot until a clear shot was available. He posited also that there was a management problem of the Iraqi to marshal and move the civilians to their 'proper' location. If the blockers were not effective, the Iraqi fighters would not bother using them.
It will come as no surprise that the good COL was not selected for command rank and retired out.

The CIA did a study on river otters, and among other things mentioned that they were good at undoing and , that they were quite affectionate, but to never try to take food away from them.
“Lutra, the otter, is a compact, powerful, intelligent animal capable of negotiating land, water, and obstacles with great facility. Lutra can survive in hostile environments such as under ice, in hot water, in raging seas, and even in urban environments. Capable of being easily trained and becomes devoted to humans which sometimes leads to its destruction. It can find its own food if necessary and can make long journeys routinely.”

Within... say the past 200 years that has been a fallacy that somehow you can play at war.
I saw a utube video title which said something 'Why were the Romans so brutal?' I did not watch the video because the answer is obvious: they were not playing at war. They regularly embarked on what we would consider to be genocidal campaigns and thought NOTHING of it.

That one has always puzzled me. IIRC, the death toll from Tokyo was far higher than the two nukes.
You would think they would use that, but I think they want to emphasize how terrible nukes are, while minimizing that 'conventional weapons' can be far deadlier.
Also note: for all of our Fallouts and so forth, are there a thriving modern cities in Hiroshima and Nagasaki now?

The point of war for an American military officer should be to achieve whatever the goal is with a minimum of American losses of men and material. If that requires attacking enemies entrenched in a city by destroying that city and everyone in it...that's the correct course.
And anyone even suggesting otherwise should be immediately court martialled. But we aren't a serious country, and we haven't prosecuted a war in a serious fashion since 1945

Western nations may only attack enemy soldiers and military vehicles. Any collateral damage--civilians, infrastructure, spotted owl habitats--is a sign that we're big meanies.
I'm pretty sure if we were fighting against the Ukrainians right now, we'd have to find a way to sort out the press-ganged soldiers from the hardcore ones, and not shoot at them, either.

If Biden gets his war with Russia I suspect there will be a serious attempt to ignore all the rules and agreements that the FNM demanded during the Shrub years. Probably a simple argument that the Russians aren't following them.

Stealing and killing.
This is the main reason to support its foreign hostilities, be they killing foreign soldiers or liquidating that natural resources of foreign countries. It doesn't matter if they are just actions or not.
The absence of an external enemy forces the American government to sow unrest inside its own borders, recon and kill its own people, and steal the wealth from its own citizens for lack of another target.

1) So he makes the point that the germans forcibly exposed POWs and many starved to death or were worked in horrible conditions as slaves.
2) He then makes the point that over a million soviet pows joined up to fight the soviets for the Germans.
3) He also points out that of the allied POWs, only a bare handful signed up for similar jobs to fight the allies.
Maybe there was a marked difference in how the Germans HANDLED the Allied POWs vs the Soviets? There was definitely a racialist difference in how they viewed the two sides. There was also a marked difference in VOLUME of captives that may have necessitated a difference in treatment. The Germans captured an absolute assload of societs during the beginning of Barbarossa.
His point is that many of these former communists hated socialism- because it does not work. I agree on the principle, but particulars matter when trying to discuss motivation.

Dude no-one cares if millions needlessly die. DDT being banned made Western leftists feel good.
.....
I heard about these missionaries and their young son's passion for distributing simple mosquito nets in Senegal and West Africa at church one Sunday. For lack of a $2 net, somewhere between half a million and a million people die each year.
I try to send $200 every year to their cause, because I don't have a lot of money and can't influence what the EPA or whatever thinks. So I just try to do what a bartender can do, which admittedly ain't much. But still, I think of all the shit I waste money on when maybe $2 is the value of saving a human life.

Um, Carrhae, where Crassus was defeated was pretty bad.
Cannae, during the Second Punic War was FAR worse. I'd even argue that The Teutoberg Forrest Massacre might have been worse.

I always look at these open threads as conversational columns that sometimes intersect. One group is responding within the group while another is doing their thing. Meanwhile each group can see what the others are doing. One reason I prefer this style of commenting to the isolated thread model you see on say Insty with Disquis.

Interesting question. Yes and no. It depends on what the language is. There are some incredibly beautiful and haunting Jewish songs in Hebrew that I don't understand the words to.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmFr4Z4xFBQ
(you might recognize a few faces singing this one)
www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYW6yuBbcdM
I am, however, familiar with the language and prayers (if applicable). If I'm not familiar with the language, then it's the voice as an instrument rather than the conveyer of a lyric message. For instance, by Luar Na Lubre in the Galego/Galician language of NW Spain:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgao6FxtMLI
I've actually begun writing English lyrics inspired by how I perceive the actual sung lyrics to that song (not the translation)

I'm going to be paying for lessons for a very long time. Pookette is a prodigy on the piano, talented on the cello, and will probably start organ lessons in about four years. Her cousin isn't quite as talented on cello but still does quite well. His older brother got to play drums for the town jazz band and he's in high demand at the churches around here. Their little sister learned flute this year and seems to enjoy it. (Pookette does not have the patience for a wind instrument, otherwise I'd be pushing it.)

'Might' not leak. It would also change the resonance chamber a bit as the water just takes up space inside the chamber but also moves around. I don't know how 'much' it alters the sound, but I liked the music.

I don't really listen to lyrics all that much. Actually, I often have difficulty making out what's being said. I get like 2/3rds of it. Assuming the vocalist sings "clean". Then I listen to loads of bands where the vocals are fairly unintelligible grunts, growls, shrieks it the occasional pig squeal.
So if it's Norwegian or Japanese? No problem!

Well, it's part of a larger, more ambitious project I want to work. The project involves arranging voice for English country dance tunes played with flute, piano, strings where there are no lyrics or I'm writing all new lyrics. The lyrics are essentially coherently arranged syllables by the vocalists that sort of double the lead instrument in the section of the piece (generally flute or violin). Flute is the easiest to write to because its breathy. Example: "Shadows in the window. There are footsteps in the door. Hide behind the rainbow. Our tears run so cold. Future we aspire, for the children of the morn. All of the survivors always all carry, carry on." That's set to an old, old song called "Bonny at Morn". The lyrics don't mean anything in particular, anymore than the instruments' parts mean anything (other than metaphorically), but they give a "face" to the song (and something for singers to sing other than the old lyrics which are, well, meh).

I think we're at that stage, but I've never told her she's a prodigy or what that means. She does know that she's blown past her same-age cousin and the 13-year-old for piano book levels, but hasn't really become boastful about it, just slightly puzzled. Pooky's mom has been teaching piano for decades and my sister is a genius on the piano, so she's certainly got the genes for it. My job is to help her practice and enjoy what she does.

Here is another question for the horde. Take a song you have heard. Now take a cover of that song. Better or worse? In classical, I find often that my memory is tricky in that if I hear even different artists sing or perform it, my 'ear'/brain will say there is something off about it.
Case in point:
https://is.gd/FMSU6V
Ok, so this is one that is covered a lot, but this specific version is the first one I heard, about... 30 years ago in college on the CD whose cover art is in that video.
You have two voices and they do not meld right to my ear in other recordings. I love the song, but it sounds completely WRONG to me when it is not this specific version.

Both Rick Wakeman and ELP both did credible albums with symphonies. Those rock musicians had classical training so is that type of music rock or classical or, as I think, it's a synthesis of music genres creating -- if done right -- a new form of musical entertainment? Recording with a symphony can be gimmicky, but in the hands of musicians it's an event.

I was pretty stunned recently to learn that my favorite song (chord progression -- and originally entitled "Mexican Reggae" -- by guitarist Don Felder of the Eagles for "Hotel California") had been previously featured in the Jethro Tull song "We Used To Know."
To his great credit, Ian Anderson held no grudge and applauded the effort.
