Emergency Backup Overnight Thread [11/02/2023]: “The Ornithologists Are Not OK”
[Weird Dave had something unexpected come up today, so he has called the bullpen for some emergency relief. – Buck]
There have been a number of stories in recent days speculating that the tyranny of wokeness has run its course. Earlier this evening, Ace linked to one from Megyn Kelly titled: “We’re Witnessing the Collapse of Wokism.” But then there are stories like this one below, and it’s clear that the crazy, woke, obsessives will never stop in their zeal to figuratively tear down every bit of our culture, including…the naming of birds. “These American birds and dozens more will be renamed, to remove human monikers” [NPR – 11/01/2023] That’s right, the American Ornithological Society is going to rename birds that were named after problematic people, along with any other bird names deemed offensive or exclusionary.Get ready to say goodbye to a lot of familiar bird names, like Anna's Hummingbird, Gambel's Quail, Lewis's Woodpecker, Bewick's Wren, Bullock's Oriole, and more. That's because the American Ornithological Society has vowed to change the English names of all bird species currently named after people, along with any other bird names deemed offensive or exclusionary.These people have lost their minds. But it’s an ONT so let’s have some fun with the subject of bird names. I posted this thread below as filler during one of Ace’s vacations a year or two ago, but with bird nomenclature in the news, I’m going to slap it up again:
So there it is, horde. Just remember, you can’t soar like an Eagle if you’re surrounded by Fluffy-Backed Tit-Babblers.

They also have the most incredible attack hand-off skills of anyone I've ever seen. They'll be in mid-flight, "chasing" you from their territory, when you step over an imaginary line... and whammo! The bird in the next territory is already inbound from the IP, cleared hot, and the former drongo snap rolls off his attack vector and heads to harass the next interloper in their territory.

Alternately running and flying, it soon cut the angles on the jogger, honking it's anger and derision at the human it was attacking, intent on running him out of "his" territory.
The chase continued, the Goose extending and reaching out it's neck, eager to inflict even peck and bite that it could land on the poor runner's legs.
So eager it's lunges, one would've maybe thought it anxious to receive the greatest, and last surprise of it's shit spewing life.
The machete flashed, the feathers flew and the spray of blood was a monochrome rainbow in the morning light.
And the Goose was Cooked. At 375 for three hours, in a pot with carrots, potatoes, onions and seasoned with salt, pepper, sage, garlic and thyme.

The flying buttress is not principally for looks, it provides horizontal stability to allow taller walls and more windows, without requiring thicker walls. The older style, the Gothic for example, used internal arches without the flying buttress, making for a look we would consider "brutalist" today. Flying buttresses allowed height, while providing airiness, and re-emphasizing the traditional interior vaulting.

A flying buttress, structurally, is just half an arch. It uses the force of gravity on its own mass to apply a lateral force to the wall to keep the wall from bulging out and failing.

She's a big believer in doing what the government says and the government has been discouraging vitamin D ever since word got out that it helps Covid. Using vitamin D makes you a Covid-denier and anti-science.

There's no conflict. Just viewing the same member from a different vantage point. Gravity wants to make the pitched roof flatten out, thereby applying a lateral force that acts to topple the walls outward. The flying buttress applies a lateral force to counter that.

Like considering new Mustangs in 1983 or Sabres in 1993 as first line interceptors in the sort of countries that don't own 8 fighters. Probably because all the R&D money goes into computers to.surveil and hopefully replace the pesky peasants who clutter up the world for the "elite"

the awesomeness is in no way dependent upon the works of man
Never said it was. God is not awesome because we build cathedrals. We build cathedrals because God is awesome.
It is not a waste to spend effort and resources to give honor and glory to God.
You seem to think that they represent man trying to give glory to himself out of pride or greed. And man is sinful - it is not surprising that there could be multiple motivations. But making the incidental context the meaning of the whole - sounds like typical woke analysis to me. Enjoy your opinion.

Thirty students walked out of Hillary Clinton’s class at Columbia University to “shame” the Ivy League school for how they perceive it allowed its students who signed an anti-Israel statement to be publicly named and pictured.
Clinton was about halfway through her two-hour lecture on women’s involvement in peace processes when the students packed their bags and left, according to The New York Times.

It was yummy. And I have half of it left over. Will top off with water, add some pearl barley, and have beef barley soup for tomorrow.

that is not entirely right, the Romans chose to do things differently, much of the cathedral architecture was done the way it was because they had forgotten how to do what the Romans did. This is very apparent when you consider the foundations of the cathedrals.
they definitely achieved some aesthetically impresive buildings

Now we have reinforced concrete and steel, and the Leftist architects use them to construct buildings that are visual abominations. I think that incredibly ugly type of architecture is called the Brutalist Style. The world needs a new cultural Renaissance period. Badly needs it.

One of my profs seems like a Marxist and before class I was telling a classmate how pretty I thought this campus was and that the first college I went to had those ugly brutalist monstrosities all over the campus. I opined that brutalist architecture was designed to crush the human spirit. Prof came in during my comments and said that brutalist architecture was awesome. This is one of the reasons why I think he is a Marxist.

But who is able to build a temple for him, since the heavens, even the highest heavens, cannot contain him? Who then am I to build a temple for him, except as a place to burn sacrifices before him?
2 Chronicles 2:6
We can't ever do the Lord justice in our structures.
However....
So it shall be when you cross the Jordan, you shall set up on Mount Ebal, these stones, as I am commanding you today, and you shall coat them with lime. Moreover, you shall build there an altar to the Lord your God, an altar of stones; you shall not wield an iron tool on them. You shall build the altar of the Lord your God of uncut stones, and you shall offer on it burnt offerings to the Lord your God and you shall sacrifice peace offerings and eat there, and rejoice before the Lord your God.
Deuteronomy 27: 4-7

Both the Mountain Men and the Indians agreed, Panther Meat was highly prized and sought after. Bear was desired, not so much for it's flavor, but the Bear Grease was super-valuable, both for the percussion arms of the time, but also as a much needed dietary fat, to help 'em survive harsh winters. A cut of deer or whole rabbit, pan fried in bear fat, not only made the meat taste better, but put the needed fat (tastily) into the diet.
Oh, and the bear hides were priceless treasures, too.
Wolf, coyote and other meat eaters were indeed, not sought for table fare.
Tuna is the most expensive fish in the sea, and is a straight up fishavore.

Documentary I watched, said: "Pollock", originally called a Wide Eyed Cod. Think of a Walleye in Northern freshwaters, now think of a Cod with the same, bulging eyes.
There fished in Berents Sea by HUGE factory ships, and the filets destined for McD's are actually the highest standard to color, lack of veining, consistent meat and etc., that the ship can produce. They're "candled" to see through the meat, much like eggs are to find and exclude the ones with developed embryos.
Flash/DEEP frozen, packed in flat, pizza-ish sized boxes they're craned off the ship in huge pallet loads, transferred directly to freezer containers, and South they go.
A McD's fish might not be breaded and cooked to my liking, but the fish under the mess they make of it is as good as any on your plate to be found.

In answer to several inquiries over the last few weeks, Vic has passed away.
After his divorce he descended into daily alcoholism, great despair, a fall, injury, and really his only outlet was to read the HQ and occasionally post when he had the energy to do so.
He rejected all offers of help both locally and from here and, to be honest, he didn't pass well but did so on his own terms.

5) Talk about Wray's corruption but won't impeach.
6) Talk about Mayorkas' corruption but won't impeach.
7) Fund the wars in the Middle East.
Give corrupt Ukraine billions more.
9) Cry about the corruption in the FBI,CIA, etc - but will fully fund.
10) Thomas Massie and Chip Roy will vote with the Democrats again (as usual) because of "muh principles."
11) Tweet all day instead of doing their jobs.
12) Write mean letters.
13) Completely ignore their voters.
14) Mock their voters on Twitter.

That's a great point that can easily be easily fleshed out into a long piece. I just thought of ham radios, e.g. People knew how to build and use those things. Now some today can build a computer but, really, how many? Sure, a lot of people can do add-ons, but actually build one? I'd bet not many.
When something disrupts our worldwide electrical grid, like a Carrrington Event or something as catastrophic, it would soon have us looking at all this unknown technology just as the Middles Ages looked at the Roman aqueducts/water system. How'd they do that?

Sometimes, spirits are earthbound because they have issues to work out.
Vic could hang around as a spirit on the Earth and help some poor unfortunate souls out. Become a sort of guardian spirit,
spirit of protection. That's a great way to achieve transcendance.
Or, just find a white light to make the transition in. Since, many spirits check out their own funerals before entering the white light, that's a place you should go to: the nearest funeral home,
and borrow someone elses white light. As long as you ask

There are also more official Catholic exorcists in WI than in any other state. Go figure.
Most of the covens are around Mt. Horeb, and the priest in Pine Bluff has been cracking down on the infestations and oppressions from these horrid witches. It isn't a pretty job.

Our boy scout troop finished off our canoeing merit badge on the Russian River. The Russian River earned its “how to kick the shit out of Kalifornski boys” campaign ribbon.

Unrelated to the broomrapes is rapeseed, which we make canola oil from.
Plants are really rapey.

They are gonna shovel that shit down our throats until we hit them upside the head with the shovel.
This is a re-arranging of the chairs.
They are trying to figure out the proper dose, at what level of wokism will we be copacetic and tolerate it in our daily lives.
