A Plethora of Orcas Cafe

These dog's faddeh was a muddeh. Their muddah was a muddeh!

This dog has transitioned into a 13-year-old girl.

The movie No Hard Feelings featured a retired police dog triggered by the word "cocaine." This video claims to show the real thing.

ICYMI: Dog Firing Line.

Do you mind? I'm napping here.

This dog's like a 9-year-old boy, he won't pose for cute pictures.

This dog thought he was home alone, but was surprised to see that his master was still in the house. Phew! Good thing he found out before he started masturbating!

DIY VFX.

Different breeds of cat, getting along.

Sudden downpour in the mountains.

Rabbits have a tactic to defeat raptors dive-bombing them: fly over the birds.

Who invited the tiger? Party foul, dude.

River volleyball.

I halp, I cut your froat open.

Boy this senior citizen is almost as hearty and athletic as Joe Biden! You know he was almost an All-American and almost played with Roger Staubach at Annapolis, right? The year was nineteen-aughtie-aught...

He'll get there.

Something isn't right. The bus jumping on Jupiter misses the bridge completely, while the bus jumping on the sun hits the bridge. That wouldn't happen, since the sun has stronger gravity.

Also, the sun is not a planet.

Surface gravity is a combination of the mass and its density. The sun could well have less density with the solar radiation fluffing it outward.

The moon isn't a planet either, nor do the powers that be say is pluto.

"You are old, Father William", the young man said,
"And your hair should now be very white;
But it's black and it's bushy all over your head,
Do you think, at your age, this is right?"

"It's touched up," Father William replied to his son
"And with transplants my baldness has ended;
Though I'm now eighty-five, I appear forty one,
And the chicks think I'm groovy and splendid."

Defining the surface of a star can be problematic. For the sun, the "surface" is taken as the photosphere. Gravitational acceleration there is about 28g.

Heh. Nope. My 2 friends ended up not being able to come, one got sick (and contagious) and the other's flight got cancelled. So it was just me, mom, SIL, SIL's parents came up for Saturday, and her friend joined us for Saturday & Sunday. Wildest thing I did was take mom to Chimney Rock and make her climb up (and back down!) the 44 steps to the platform. And sit on the porch drinking wine. We did hit an Irish pub in Hendersonville.

I ate cake, gained 4 pounds which I now have to run back off. I can gain 4 pounds in 4 days, but takes 4 weeks to lose it...

139 One last thing to bring up. One of my neighbors daughter has returned from sunny California, totally fed up with the bullshit. She landed a good job in health care administration in the area, and being an Arky at heart is pleased to be back. Neighbor asked me if I could give her a little advice and coaching on a handgun for concealed carry. Kid (25) knows the basics and I felt honored. Looks like a few trips to "the shootin' holler" are coming up.

Said above, she knows the basics, a lot of .22 rifle time in and she can handle a Mossy 500 according to Dad. She just wants to feel safe at all times and thinks it's the time to carry.

149 So they lost an F-35 for a while because of bad weather but it's ok because what do you expect, it's a stealth plane and we're lucky they found it at all besides that they need new engines in the best plane on the planet that sure there were delays and maybe some problems but we can't build them fast enough for demand.

159 About that F-35B mishap... weather wasn't a factor. That's bullshit. Cover story.

Also of note... was the 2 ship flight an instructor and student? If so... which one bailed? Was it a maintenance check flight? Was whatever was broken fixed? These are questions nobody is asking... or if they are, they're not being answered. There are a multitude of possible system failures that can cause a modern jet, military or otherwise to crash. Lastly, the F-35 can "auto-eject" the pilot if the aircraft determines shit's going to hit the fan. Whether it's a feature like cruise control that can be turned off or on... I've no idea.

Yea... probably not a good idea to have that feature.

Final analysis from my ass.... Marines fucked up and a cover story is being generated.
