I think you are right that the mid level strategy and tactics are atrocious.

Val news, willowed from the Pride thread.

Val went to the vet today for a follow-up. They took more X-rays that they sent to the radiologist for evaluation. Val's temperature was normal, there was no elevated white-cell count and his breathing was unexceptional. I tried to explain that it's difficult to determine the depth and rhythm of a Borzoi's breathing because when they're on their side, it's difficult to tell if they're actually alive.

The vet thought it would be all right for him to go back out to the kennel on restricted activity, as the place is air-conditioned and there's a guillotine door that can be used to close the pen in.

It's the wrong kind of Pride for this blessed and holy month, but we're the kind of clients our vet loves. The dogs are in good condition. They're well socialized and easy to work with. Her Majesty and I know their general condition and can spot when something is wrong but we don't go to pieces over it. We can explain clearly why we've brought them in. We do the follow-up faithfully. And, if God forbid, we're faced with That Decision, we face it with sorrow but not hysterics. And we're there for them when they go.

41 Libertarianism died as an ideology in the 90s, ironically as the LP achieved some minor relevance.

In "reaching out to the youth" they stopped focusing on liberty and started focusing on drug legalization.

Yes yes there is an argument for drug legalization but out of all the things the government did then, and the far more it does now, drug legalization flat out does not matter.

But they won over their stoners and now the LP seems to be just another socialist party...but focused on pot. So if you like your 15 minute city/prison...but with a nice selection of types of weed, well, the LP are certainly your people...

The point of the American government is to steal as much money from its citizens as possible. Anything else it does is incidental.

You know what was also great? Meeting many of the non-Horde-Aligned dogs who happened to be visiting the same locale that weekend. They all really loved being petted and enjoyed as wonderful creatures. Which they were.

And there were the ducks who found a wonderful bistro on Friday.

Proud I am that the parents in the stands thought otherwise.

Hopefully their were some men that made their way to this announcer's booth, kicked in the door, threw snow cones and soft drinks all over him and advised him, "You ever try that again, "Next time, you will be flying out of this booth head first!!"

84 The papers of the tranny shooter in TN have finally been released but at least so far only to a few non-FNM news sources like NewsBusters and the DailyWire. They've posted some of the pages but not all. Take aways:

She hated straight people
She hated white people and wanted to kill them for their "privilege"
She fantasized about being a male doll which she had
She believed trannies were being oppressed and needed to murder non-trannies to make the oppression stop

That's not how they work.
The field is focused right at the point where your head/body is in the 'doughnut' ring.
When turned on anything that is attracted moves at great speed to the focal point of the magnetic field.
Very early in MRI machine use someone was getting their brain scanned and someone tried to move an O2 bottle (full size) through the room. The bottle and head 'merged'.

Wheelchairs become modern art now and then too if anyone leaves them in the room when the MRI is turned on.

PSA: take off everything that isn't *you* when you go to get an MRI.
(I think they make an exception for the wires that wrap sternums after open heart surgery. I don't know what those wires are made of though.)

The sternotomy wires are non-ferrous (either stainless steel or titanium) and will not be affected by the magnetic field.

175 Meanwhile, in Ukraine:
On the eve of the so-called "Peace Conference" in Switzerland (which Russia wasn't invited to) Vlad Putin made the following peace proposal:
1. Ukraine becomes neutral, and never joins NATO. No change to his prior policy.
2. Ukraine becomes demilitarized and de-knotzeefied (which would mean an entirely new government would have to be installed.) Again, no change to policy.
3. Ukraine gives up two major southern provinces, which the Russians are not currently occupying.
I'm pretty sure that the Ukrainians are going to regret not agreeing to this offer.

There is a huge divide in Israeli Society, just about as bad as the divide between right and left in this country. What really wrecked things for the Left is that on Oct 7, Hamas aimed it's attack on the kibbutzim around Gaza, and on the infamous peace concert, all of which represented the most left wing, pro-appeasal parts of Israeli society. I don't think even now that either Hamas or its supporters know how much they changed the Israeli public with that attack.

Instead got 48 hours of psychotic meltdowns, ending with swearing to never talk to me again, that I would never see grandkids again, yada yada yada. (My sin is that I do not back down, and I give back all that I am given.) We didn't talk for 3 days, and then daughter decided to do a George Costanza and pretend that none of it ever happened and if it did, she doesn't remember any of it. Can't we all be friends again?

yes, she has a long history of slipping in and out of mental illness. I would be done with her if it wasn't for the grandkids, who don't deserve this.

Makoto Shinkai's "breakout" short movie was about this effect. Hoshi No Koe, aka. Voices Of A Distant Star.

He did almost everything for the whole 25-minute short himself: production, writing, animation, and the male character's voice. The female voices were his girlfriend at the time, and music was composed by a friend of his. The animation looks dated today, since it was all done on a Mac home computer in 2001/2002, but it was amazing at the time for an almost-solo creation.

The message is sent when the starship is 19 light-years away from Earth. Transit time: 19 years. Meanwhile, starship is still moving (presumably accelerating), so assuming immediate reply on the part of Earthly radio operators. the reply has to travel a much greater distance.

204 Quick drive-by comment on my way to bed. To go with the concluding piece, have a somewhat loose prose translation of Wilhelm Busch's poem "Fox and Hedgehog," which I think was written just after the end of the Franco-Prussian War:

A hedgehog was walking through the wood one day, minding his own business, when he met a fox. "Hey, you scofflaw!" said the fox. "Don't you know the war's over? The king's banned private citizens from bearing arms in peacetime. Hand over your prickles!"

"Not so fast!" replied the hedgehog. "You break your teeth first. Then we can talk." And he curled up into a bristling ball "and thus confidently defied the whole world," Busch concludes, "armed, but a hero of peace."

I think we need to find a way to prove scientists have intelligence.

On the other hand.....

Previous studies have found that plants emit a high frequency distress sound when they undergo environmental stress, such as damage to their leaves and stems.

That spot is about to transit here now. It's high in the local sky here at 34.7N. It's sort of between Ophicus and Hercules. If you can spot a triangle of 3 stars, Rasalhague (a-Oph), Rasalgethi (a Her), and k (kappa)-Oph, Voyager 1 is about in the middle of that little flat triangle.

I built one of those many years ago, and still have it. I put small kiddie bicycle wheels on the back, skids on the front, and added a few tines to the cut-off deck to support tall weeds while the blade hacked at them. Also extended the handle by several feet, so it takes very little effort to work it. It can cut down 2-foot tall grass and thistles with ease. Four HP engine on it.

I mean, otherwise, did Denmark *do* Something? They're a pretty whimsical people who are oddly obsessed with elephants in my experience. Did we diss Hans Christian Andersen or something? Are they pissed that we attempted to buy Greenland?

One story that I always hoped was true was that, in recognition of his scientific genius, Carlsberg ran a line into his home that would allow him to fill a pint of lager just by turning on the tap.

One of the landmark eateries in Jackson, Mississippi (Mrs. Drake's home town) was The Elite, founded by a pair of Macedonian brothers. Great for a family dinner, but also a favorite lunchtime stop for members of the State Legislature as well as city and federal government officials. That was the highlight of every trip we made to Jackson - they employed the same wait-staff as long as they could, and you were welcomed as a friend after you became a regular. Mr. Pete, the younger of the two brothers, who had the nickname "Stoneface," held court in one booth and made sure that everything ran smoothly.
