The Saturday Night Joke

An old tired-looking dog wanders into a guy's yard. He checks the dog's collar and feels his well-fed belly and knows the dog has a home.

The dog follows him into the house and jumps on the couch, gets comfortable and falls asleep. The man thinks its rather odd, but lets him sleep. After about an hour the dog wakes up, walks to the door and the guy lets him out. The dog wags his tale and leaves.

The next day the dog comes back and scratches at the door. The guy opens the door, the dog comes in and jumps on the couch, gets comfortable and falls asleep again. The man lets him sleep. After about an hour the dog wakes up, walks to the door and the guy lets him out. The dog wags his tale and leaves.

This goes on for days. The guy grows really curious, so he pins a note on the dog's collar: "Your dog has been taking a nap at my house every day."

The next day the dog shows up with another note pinned to his collar: "He lives in a home with four kids-- he's trying to catch up on his sleep. Can I come with him tomorrow?'(H/T Hrothgar)

Maps Reveal Each U.S. state’s Biggest Export – and Where It’s Shipped to

In 2022, the U.S. trade deficit surged to almost $1 trillion, with America importing $948.1 billion more than it exported. This marked a $103 billion increase from the previous year’s deficit. The rise occurred amid efforts by the U.S. and its partners to reshape global supply chains in the aftermath of pandemic disruptions and trade barriers, particularly with China — with whom America has a $382.9 billion trade deficit.

However, the U.S. maintained its position as the world’s second-largest exporter, with exports totaling around $2.1 trillion last year, contributing to 8.4% of global exports. A notable success story was the agricultural sector, with U.S. agriculture exports alone reaching $213 billion.

The 2023 top Wikipedia searches.

NEW YORK (AP) — Remember what you searched for in 2023? Well, Wikipedia has the receipts.

English Wikipedia raked in more than 84 billion views this year, according to numbers released Tuesday by the Wikimedia Foundation, the non-profit behind the free, publicly edited online encyclopedia. And the most popular article was about ChatGPT (yes, the AI chatbot that’s seemingly everywhere today).

Since its launch just over a year ago, OpenAI’s ChatGPT has skyrocketed into the public’s consciousness as the technology makes its way into schools, health care, law and even religious sermons. The chatbot has also contributed to growing debates about the promise and potential dangers of generative AI, much of which is documented on its Wikipedia page.

Show me the man and I'll show you the crime. Or in this case some strange ones.

You could be breaking the law in your own state right now and not even know it. Throughout U.S. history, all 50 states have passed a variety of highly specific, often bizarre laws — some that may have made sense at the time but definitely don’t any longer. In every state, you’ll find a few of these quirky laws that are rarely enforced but, for whatever reason, remain on the books. Here are eight obscure state laws you’ve probably never heard of.

Man Arrested, Jailed While Wearing "I Just Got Out Of Prison" Shirt

A man wearing a shirt declaring “I just got out of prison” was locked up anew Sunday after police responded to a 911 call about a male suspect entering a parked car and stealing a wallet.

Michael Gordon, 46, pleaded no contest yesterday to a misdemeanor obstruction charge and was sentenced to five days in custody and fined $500, Florida court records show.

The criminal count against Gordon stemmed from his refusal to identify himself to deputies probing the reported auto break-in. A portable fingerprint scanner was used to identify Gordon, who told cops to “Call my lawyer

29 Since there has been a second mass surrender of Hamas "fighters", someone astutely noted a criterion that the Israelis are probably using to help identify which adult males belong to Hamas.

Civilians in Gaza are missing meals - they aren't starving, but they've lost some weight.

If you look well-fed in Gaza after two months of war, that's because Hamas is feeding you.

Now I don't know this for sure, but U suspect something I've been seeing more and more in Texas elections: Houston is very split racially, with only 24% identifying as white (non-hispanic) 24% identify as white hispanic, and another 20% as other hispanic. Black, 22%

More and more, even in Democrat primaries, white hispanic voters are refusing to vote for any black candidates. It probably seems over simplistic to break this down into pure racial voting, but the Texas Democrat party has spent the last 30 years driving home the idea to its followers. Now it's biting the ones who pushed it.

I've heard that a number of Ivy League schools were doing presidential searches at the same time, and since none of them were going to hire white males, the already weak diversity talent pool was even more diluted.

85 No, the Harvard president is a "political scientist", with all of eleven published academic articles to her credit.

If you suspect that she was hired solely because of her sex and skin color, you are a racist.

If the Gazanoids were dispersed in small groups throughout the muzzie world, and told that they are being accommodated purely on sufferance, and they they need to behave themselves or be shot, they would probably mostly behave.

Note that "at least"? I'm sure that's a low-ball estimate. When the war started, I saw several Israeli estimates that Hamas had appx 30000 fighters in total. They've probably added some conscripts during the last 2 months, but... one DOES wonder about their fighting spirit somewhat.

Heh. The other day, I put my pickup into the ditch right in front of a friend's house. I backed out of his drive, and cut the wheel too soon, and wound up mostly on the shoulder of the dirt road. But it was all snow-covered, and hard to see that. When I drove ahead, I drifted down into the ditch. Gunned it, figuring I could climb up the next approach and get out without a stop. Didn't work. Approach was too steep, and I broke the plastic license plate holder off the front bumper. Alberta, so not used. No biggie. Backed up, took another shot at it, veering left a little, and the truck swung 90 degrees, front wheels on the road, back bumper on the ground, and the rear wheels doing zilch. Got it towed out by the other neighbor, also a friend, with buddy's tow strap. Much laughter at my expense.

One of my luckiest mistakes happened after a big ice storm here in Texas - we don't get ice much so it's always a big surprise. I needed to be somewhere for my job when it was still frozen, so I decided to chance, but came upon a spot where black ice blanketed a few hundred yards of road. Nobody else on the road because nobody else was dumb enough to try it. Wheel lost traction and the car went into a nice slow 360 while still traveling down the road - nothing I did had any effect. Finally went off the road, but as you say, luckily it was just a swale on the side, and then a little hill with a gentle slope. no trees, and a lot of grass that was now crunchy because of the ice. Easy to just get lined up again and drive away. (if there had been a tree there, or a dropoff of some kind....)

211 The reason Egypt is so reluctant to take any Gazans is that they remember that Hamas is just an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood that Egypt already kicked out of their country. What's worse, before the current conflict Hamas was saying openly that they'd love to get a foothold in the Sinai that they could use to drive an overthrow of Al-Sisi's government. Egypt says - we don't need any of that shit here.

I agree. I think that way about a lot of bands. I saw The Kinks as the top undercard to an all day concert in Philly with Foreigner at the top. Interesting mix, though, including Joan Jett, Madonna, Huey Lewis and The News, Teddy Pendergrass in a wheelchair ('Philly's Own!'). Maybe somebody else or two.

My favorite Kinks song is 'Labour of Love'. Best opening lyrics, too:

Marriage is a two-headed transplant,

Presidents. Deans sometimes do some actual work. Not much, but some.

289 One interesting comparison between Carlson and say Douglas Murray is their take on "conspiracy theory".

Murray says yes all the things called conspiracy theories in regards to COVID proved to be true and we now know the government/media called them conspiracy theories to make people believe lies BUT we have a big problem with too many people believing real conspiracy theories.

Tucker, conversely, in talking to Jones says basically after the COVID lies I'm more willing to listen to things the government/media claim are conspiracy theories.

I think Tucker's right here even though I do think Jones goes all the over the place between that's true but the government doesn't want you to that's a reasonable interpretation of what's happening all the way to bullshit he just pulled out of his ass.

Anyway though, if someone makes a claim show me the facts and shut up the government/FNM "factcheckers"

But, in the interest of "following the science", I say we populate all of THOSE "uninhabitable" Indonesian islands with palitards.

Likely, one or two of those island's new populations will defy the odds, and survive. This would be the stuff of countless White Papers, maybe even minting a new PhD or three.

Pity, the losses on those other proven to be uninhabitable islands. Test Groups/Control Groups, measure the results. SCIENCE!

A few bullets to the head, and the Coconut Crabs will have a feast.

You'd just want to give them plenty of time to get cleaned out before eating them.

Which reminds me of an Alaska crabber joke.

Some crabbers were sitting around in their favorite watering hole when one of their friends barged in.

"Dave! Dave! Your drowned mother-in-law just washed up on the mudflats and she was covered with crabs from head to toe!"

Dave: "Well, put a line on her and set her out again."

And a less-funny story:

After WWII some Frenchmen decided to get even with the local Nazi collaborator. They took him to an abandoned quarry and dropped him at the bottom, along with a bunch of pigs and a wagonload of turnips. This was so he'd have plenty of time to think about what was going to happen when the turnips ran out.

The townsfolk came back after a couple of weeks and had a big barbecue.

None were sudden either, all had health issues, so people were kind of prepared for the worst. Still not done yet though. My one cousin's husband has pancreatic cancer, so I give him a month or so at this point. I think it's going to be a rough next few years though. I think the oldest are going to start dropping like flies. My father is 85, his sister is 87, his brother is 90, my inlaws are 85, my brother's inlaws are in their 90's.

326 Jackson-Lee has until close of business on Monday to file for re-election to her House seat.

She could retire with her full salary for life. One of her staffers has already announced that he's running for her House seat, so she faces a contested primary.

I'm guessing she files.

Should have had comedians testify at the hearing as to why they stopped doing college gigs. Get the big names, like Jerry Seinfeld, et. al. Make the presidents actually have to hear their testimony about the hecklers' veto cancel culture infecting college campuses today. It's insane that any school could call itself an institution of higher learning if getting the wrong pronoun means suspension/eviction from the club. I believe being able to call 'Bullshit!' was the whole point of the exercises ending with a nicely printed and embossed sheepskin.

332 Well anyway, in the next rare episode of drunk berserker is best berserker, and seeing I'm on my 3rd bourbon, which is also rare since I limit myself to one, I'm going to go on a rant about paint colors. To this day I have no idea what my friend was thinking when he let his idiot girlfriend run wild with her idea of paint colors in this house. I'm in the house 2 years as of Dec 8, and its been 2 years of erasing her stain. The house was actually mint and move in, he kept it nice, but it was dated beyond belief with nothing special about anything inside. I redid it all. I went room by room. The colors were gut wrenching. The main bedroom was periwinkle and a yellow/lime green. The bedroom thats now Mrs B's office was UPS brown. Yeeuuus a lovely dark shit brown. The kitchen, with its vaulted ceiling, along with the entrance foyer was Pumpkin fucking orange. 600 sq feet of it. The family room was a vintage McDonalds. 2 red walls, 2 yellow walls, white ceiling. I can't explain it. The living room was the least offensive, so it was the last to get done. It was green, but not a good green. the lesson here is never let your alcoholic girlfriend paint your house.

A hooker would have done a better job. I worked in a lot of houses over the years when I did kitchens and baths. Houses that ran in styles from early depression india up to professionally decorated palatial looking things. I saw it all. I learned a lot about styles and how to bring it out. The chick who pained this house destroyed the individual beauty of the rooms themselves. There are nice features that she frigging murdered with her crayola killing spree. It was like living in a fruit cake.

336 So, I bought a mini mill yesterday. It is a King Industrial, which is basically a clone of the small Sieg and Grizzly mills. Parts for those fit. I am going to pack it with me to AZ, for work on some projects there. Heavy little sucker. Going to see if I can detach the column from the base, and pack it in two pieces.

340 AOP. As you know, the Grizzly mills are Taiwanese.

What you might not know.

The President of Grizzly (engineering, inc, corp, or ??)... is a hard core shooty enthusiast.

You can order up certain models of Grizzly mills n' drills, done to GUNSMITHING standards. They feature much finer +/- tolerances, U.S., Swedish or German "best quality" bearings and races, Jacobs (or better) three or four jaw chucks.

A bit more spendy, to be sure. But "cheap Chinese junk", these are not.

I'm having "fun" -- decided to do a clean install of Windows 11 Pro, just to play and get up to speed. I played with a virtual machine install just to figure out how to get back as close as possible to the old ways.

And then I've turned it loose on the bare metal of my main machine. Lots of stupid errors. Didn't like the USB port the flash drive was plugged into. Then, with all the drives and partitions I've got, it ran out of drive letters. I had to remember, on the fly how to pull up a command prompt from the install image and get to diskpart to fix that.

Now, it's going, and we'll see what it fucks up next.

The sales guy at KMS tools, where I bought this thing, was quite helpful. He told me he has personally owned and used a similar machine for several years, and has had no problems with it. King Industrial is based in Quebec, and is coy about from where the machine is imported, but the sales guy told me the mills from Grizzly and Littlemachine Company are virtually identical, and have common parts.

There is a wonderful tool called Rufus I used. It's a USB stick burner, creates bootable USB stick images. And it knows how to do clever little hacks to Windows images such as create a local user account right in the install image, and bypass the requirement to use a Microsoft Account.

It can do several other useful hacks as well.
