It really is that simple. A felon who pleaded guilty to biting a cop proceeded to beat another inmate – in the same courtroom where a man recently jumped at a judge. Dustin Langham, 18, was sitting next to fellow inmate Berdon Bridge in Clark County District Court when Langham got up suddenly and began pounding Bridge who was seated in front of him, shows a video obtained by KLAS. Yelling could be heard including curse words beeped out, and a people could be heard demanding, ‘sit down’. Court marshals and corrections officers separated the men and handcuffed Langham on the ground. Bridge was escorted away by officers and the other inmates in the Las Vegas courtroom were also led out. FEBRUARY 7--In an apparent bid to drum up customers for his drug business, a Canadian man handed out business cards with a small sample of cocaine attached, police allege. According to cops, Seyyed Amir Razavi, 30, distributed the cards outside a casino in Calgary (where Razavi resides). Investigators learned of the cards in late-December and launched a probe that resulted in the February 3 arrest of Razavi on narcotics possession and trafficking charges. A police search of Razavi’s auto and residence yielded 50 baggies of cocaine, a digital scale with drug residue, and $1280 in cash. Cops also seized a box of business cards with the name “Alex Lee.” Tonight's ONT has been brought to you by Trust. ![]() Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

Feb 11 is a notable day. It's one of 4 days per tropical year that are extrema of the Equation of Time. Feb 11th is the global minimum, -14 min and 15s. This means loca high noon is about 15 minutes behind local mean noon. And being a minimum, the true solar day is exactly 24 hours long.

The cocaine guy with a small sample on his card was a marketing genius. New users are hard to come by. Plus you can judge the quality of the product before you buy. It's like Costco or Sam's Club with the free samples. Enticements lead to impulse buys..

Posted by: Iris, Team Hedgehog at February 10, 2024 09:59 PM (n3DL0) Most people think that a mattress is too soft, or saggy without a box spring, but YMMV. Go back 100 years or more and no one had such a thing. Posted by: Tom Servo at February 10, 2024 10:05 PM (S6gqv) 41

If the slats are the thin (about an inch or less) boards, never step on the bed for any reason. Just a moment of pressure concentrated in a small area is enough to break those things. Even if it's through the mattress. Posted by: Blanco Basura - Z28.310 at February 10, 2024 10:08 PM (dZVON) 48

It was a day of gobsmacking stories breaking on X. One of the biggest was that the IDF revealed that they had found a tunnel complex with an extremely sophisticated electronic communications and server system, which also functioned as a central communications center for the entire military network. Best part - it was located underneath, and had a direct entrance to, the UNWRA HQ for all of Gaza. In fact it's fair to say that it was an integrated part of it.

If I'm calling you I actually need a human being. If I need your location, your hours, or hell anything on your website I already did that. So, what I need is just...a human being. Posted by: 18-1 at February 10, 2024 10:16 PM (ibTVg) Here is the thing: You actually speaking to a human being interferes with the "one call resolution" standard.

I was watching Williamson interview Hannah Barnes who is a BBC reporter who had a groundbreaking report on "The Collapse Of The UK’s Gender Identity Clinic" and it is fascinating.
She's a lefty, working for a lefty org, that is part of the reason behind all this tran-sanity. And she's trying so so hard to minimize just how bad it is but I give her credit in tha she is sharing the facts. For example, the big English "gender clinic" up until 2011 or so most deal with teen boys and mostly did therapy, aka talking, with them. At that point the government/NGOs leaned on them and they agreed to a test group of boys to try hormone blockers on....but then before they got any results just started giving them out like candy. And when girls started coming because the tran-sanity spread they started giving it to them as well. Are hormone blocking drugs safe? The British government's official answer is "we don't know". Does giving kids these drugs show any improvement over the old "talk through it therapy"? No. But no one will go to jail. No one will be fired. No one will even get a particularly bad news story on them personally. The interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdBfHwzDYLg Posted by: 18-1 at February 10, 2024 10:27 PM (ibTVg) 118

Posted by: andycanuck (2yu8s) at February 10, 2024 10:36 PM (2yu8s) 154
- In the past, whenever suspicious cavity was found close to or under UNRWA premises, protest letters were promptly filed to parties to the conflict, including both the de facto authorities in Gaza (Hamas) and the Israeli authorities. The matter was consistently reported in annual reports presented to the General Assembly and made public.
- These recent media reports merit an independent inquiry that is currently not possible to undertake given Gaza is an active war zone. - The Israeli Authorities have not informed UNRWA officially about the alleged tunnel. 1:01 PM · Feb 10, 2024 Posted by: andycanuck (2yu8s) at February 10, 2024 10:36 PM (2yu8s) 155

I see two possible outcomes for the DemonRats.
1.) They keep Bidumb on the ticket. They do this for all the reasons that they ran Fetterman and a Dead Guy in PA in 2020; to prove that regardless of how many votes we get that they can pull a corpse across the finish line with Buicks full of Chinese printed Ballots. 2.) The Hildabeest takes Bidumb's place. Everyone else on the left is afraid to cross her or they have their own reasons for not running. Newsom has to cheat just to beat the recall in CA, and he can't even beat the Republican B-teamer of DeSantis in a debate. Hochul and Whitmer are both afraid to go outside for fear that a house might drop out of the sky and fall on them. Big Mike is too busy drowning people who had a glimpse of his dick while he was dressing. Nancy Pelosi is too busy getting hammered with her husband. The Dem bench is pretty empty, and the call to send in another lefty is finding nothing but empty pine.

As BEN would say, IT"S FUNNY BECAUSE SHE"S PERSONIFYING OBAMA's JULIA LIKE IT"S A GOOD THING:"
Rao’s decision to jump into the race began with a kind of break up. She describes her early political life as a romance with Democrats. The courtship started with her first vote for Bill Clinton in 1996 and a ficus plant named Hillary. . . That all changed after the election of President Donald Trump. “Post 2016, it became clear to me that the corporate wing of the Democratic Party wasn’t interested in my issues, specifically, so issues of racial justice,” she said. “I was asking, ‘What are we doing about DACA? What are we doing to make communities of color feel safe?’ And it was crickets.” Those feelings led Rao to publish a breakup note with the Democrats in the Huffington Post. It declared the party had married white women while hooking up with women of color on the side. After her story went viral, Rao realized she had a choice: either walk away or do something about it.

Evening, MisHum and Horde. My coffee maker is gurgling happily in the kitchen. When I made a pot this morning, it took forever to get one cup. Time for a cleaning. Ran some vinegar through, but it never ran through. Upped the ante with some hydrochloric acid, cut with water; some encouragement. Added a little more acid, turned on the heat. Pop! All the acid and water ran out onto the counter. A silicone hose had popped off the coil. Took the coil out of the machine (it's sort of an omega shape), and rodded it out with several drill bits. Flushed it with more acid over the sink. Passage seems clear. Reassembled it, and running a dilute acid wash through it now. Will follow up with two loads of plain water.

The Republic of Ireland (Southern Ireland), is not a part of Great Britain, and time was, a great hatred simmered in the Micks, hoping that their kin could drive the hated Brits out of the Six Counties (Northern Ireland), purge the Protestants and have their own island back, whole.
(this is the romanticized version, of yore.) Fact is, Southern Ireland was SO drilled into by communism, that *any* blow that could be landed against Crown and King, was considered "good", no matter the facts to the contrary. Hence, their WWII under-the-table support of Germany, in so many forms and ways. Hitler invading Russia really cranked THAT particular applecart, right onto it's side. But, the echoes of this carry to this day. Ireland pisses on Israel, as Israel is aligned with Conservative America, tradtional King and Crown Tory England, and the universe of Western Values and Enlightenment, as we know it. Yeah, Ireland produced many great lawyers and orators. But, also. Bloody terrorists against all that is whole, and safe, and good. Terrorists DO TEND to bond to their own kind, hence, their pro Hamas bent. Jim Sunk New Dawn Galveston, TX Posted by: Jim at February 11, 2024 12:20 AM (e6UQI) 288

AOP, I don't know if anti-freeze mixture was good enough to resist the super freeze we got a couple weeks ago. Truck is parked on grass, so cannot tell if any leakage. Besides checking at coolant recovery reservoir and radiator, is there any other way to tell if coolant froze/drained? Don't know if freeze-plugs (if any on this unit) would even be visible from either above or below. Have only owned this truck for a little over one year...

I'm watching Michael Knowles debate three feminists and it is interesting.
He brings up the fact as feminism has increased in power in American women's reported happiness has gone down. One feminist opposing him argues that's just because women were too dumb to know how bad they had it. But then another one argues that's because having children makes you unhappy (note women have fewer children now then before feminism) so...I mean...she's kind of making the first feminist's point in an odd way. They continue then making the point that "justice" is more important then happiness anyway.

'02 Sierra, v8 Posted by: JQ at February 11, 2024 12:44 AM (njWTi) Probably a 350? Should have frost plugs visible from below. If you some antifreeze protection, but not quite enough, the mixture may gel before it freezes solid, which won't hurt the engine as long as you don't start it at that time. I'd check the coolant in the rad, if you can. And don't be too surprised if it seems low. Just add a little 50/50 mix, and run the engine, and check for leaks. If you have an antifreeze hydrometer, check the strength of the coolant once it has circulated for a few minutes. Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at February 11, 2024 12:56 AM (tkR6S) 309

She argued that feminism was successful in "destigmatizing women's sexuality". Knowles turned to her and said "Didn't you say a bunch of law firms turned you down over your other career.

One of the feminists flat out refused to answer. When Knowles said "Its just too risky to have an opinion now is that it?" She looked away from the camera and turned red.

I keep a brand new still in the box coffee maker in the closet, just in case, along with a backup grinder. Silly, maybe, but Covid taught me how fragile the supply chains are.
Cue all the folks who will talk about making cowboy coffee in a sauce pan. Posted by: Idaho Spudboy at February 11, 2024 12:47 AM (3UsVM) I may not have the second coffee maker as I have a metal stove top percolator; since I use it hardly at all, my coffee from it sucks but it's coffee. I need to get a spare grinder, though. Years ago, mine just melted. I had to use heavy-duty plastic baggies and pound/crush the beans for a while. The 'grind' was inconsistent, to say the least. Need to get a spare spice grinder, too. Small cheap items which are good to have duplicates of lying around.

Posted by: Caesar North of the Rubicon at February 11, 2024 01:32 AM (7B5FA) I saw Mojo Nixon and Skid Roper play at "The Hump" at UCSD in '87 or '88 I think. One of the merch items was a classic gasoline attendent's shirt, complete with oil stains and "Mojo" on the name patch. I regret not buying one.

How are ya? Posted by: JQ at February 11, 2024 02:02 AM (njWTi) Things are pretty good overall, JQ. Frankly, there is no good time to be old. The silver lining is that I know a lot more useful stuff than a largish percentage of youngsters (defined as those who can get the hell off my lawn), and that gives me an edge that may be more valuable now than 30 years ago.

I guess being able to do math in your head is seen as witchcraft by the smartphone generation. I've used geometry to get 90 degree corners in gardens, and algebra to mix milk and cream for the correct fat percentage.
Anyway, the garden planning is very seat-of-the-pants at the moment, JQ. I need to sit down and sort my seed packets for indoor sowing. Bought a bunch on sale last summer/fall, but will no doubt buy more. That damned garden thread got me all worked up over tomatoes. Posted by: Miley, okravangelist at February 11, 2024 02:51 AM (w6EFb) 363
Plenty to love about okra! Indeed, much of that whole Malvaceae family, yet another fabulous gift of The Creator: okra, cotton, hibiscus, cacao, and for those so inclined, durian.
I assert God is a conservative not because, for example, the variety of beetles and economically important plant species, but because of what we might call the nuanced variation within groups. Posted by: Shai in Ashkelon at February 11, 2024 03:03 AM (k16HJ) 364
RickZ-- all us kids could read and count, long before "school". I don't understand why sibling doesn't teach the lil guy? If I lived closer, would take it upon myself to do so! The boy is smart, but gets practically zero parental participation in his "education". I weep!
Miley-- oh, today's tomato-heavy garden thread got me going, too! But I prefer the 'classics' like Brandywine and Sweet 100. That through-and-through purple one got my attention though... wonder if it has good flavor? Posted by: JQ at February 11, 2024 03:05 AM (njWTi) 365

The past couple of hours, I got off on a tangent of reading up on the history of what became The Internet. It started with "ARPANET", Darpa/Defense project for a fault tolerant packet-switched network (which was originally judged to be a crazy idea). Back the late '60s and '70s, the foundation for what became the Internet was laid. Those guys had no clue, no idea, how well and to what degree their little crazy project was going to scale.... The done good, but at the time, they had no idea of how good they were really doing it. There was stuff they could've done better if they'd known how big it was going to be, but they didn't know. But what they did do was just amazing. Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at February 11, 2024 03:40 AM (w6EFb) 377

Posted by: JQ at February 11, 2024 03:05 AM (njWTi) Me too. I also wonder if the color is stable during cooking, or if it bleeds out like purple beans etc. If not, it could make for some very interesting marinara. Maybe mix it with a bunch of other varieties. Black strawberry, Rutgers 250, San Marzano. One of those heart tomatoes was supposed to be acidic, and I know Publius' mama loves those.

Lol, publius. Exhubby tried to explain ARPANET (or whatever it was called by .mil in the early 80's) to me... but couldn't, due to security regs I think
We got 'online' such as it was, thru Compuserve, mid-80s. And then local BBS. I couldn't afford a computer when we divorced, so didn't go online again until early 90s. Pre-AOL, it was all command-line. I've forgotten more than I ever learned, LOL... FTP and so forth... PINE email... So loooonnnng ago. Posted by: JQ at February 11, 2024 03:57 AM (njWTi) 382
363 Plenty to love about okra! Indeed, much of that whole Malvaceae family
Yes indeed! My white okra didn't take, and I only bought a spoonful of seeds. I think I have 8 left, and I may plant them in the raised bed. That's what I did with the burgundy okra last summer and I got a a few cups of seeds from a handful of plants. Damn things grew 7 ft high. Beautiful. Far from the other okra in the garden, several hundred feet away, so they should be fine.

Posted by: Pete Bog at February 11, 2024 03:06 AM (BHL6B) Our last frost date is the first week of May, and I've found that starting tomato seeds indoors around March 30 always works out fine. Now it's herb time. Parsley and other exotica. Posted by: Miley, okravangelist at February 11, 2024 04:01 AM (w6EFb) 385
Miley, I'd use those purple tomatoes as garnish on salads. Probably wouldn't hold color during cooking? So few veggies do...

Got to t-plant while it's still very tiny, like within a week of sprouting. Roots are very sensitive! Posted by: JQ at February 11, 2024 04:10 AM (njWTi) 391
Corn can be transplanted too-- keeps the damned rodents from digging it up--
Pre-sprout on damp paper towels, like ya did in the 70s with potseeds. Then, plant in soil & let grow for 2-3 weeks before planting out. Posted by: JQ at February 11, 2024 04:14 AM (njWTi) Processing 0.06, elapsed 0.0724 seconds. |
