Tuesday Overnight Open Thread (7/9/24) Lazy Day of Summer Edition
Quote I “I think with Biden in the race, it’s a clear choice and it makes the decision a lot easier for many people who might be on the fence with regards to which way they want to vote,” Saul Anuzis, a former chairman of the Michigan Republican Party
Quote II "I want his spirit back, and I want his ashes. I want to be close again," Gaye Campbell
Quote III “At that high altitude, life is very difficult and oxygen is very low. So climbers and their helpers are more focused on saving themselves,” Sushil Khadga

Nikki Haley releases delegates to Trump ahead of Republican National Convention
Washington — Nikki Haley released the several dozen delegates she won in the primaries and has encouraged them to vote for former President Donald Trump at the Republican National Convention next week. "The nominating convention is a time for Republican unity," said Haley, who served as Trump's ambassador to the United Nations, in a statement on Tuesday. "Joe Biden is not competent to serve a second term and Kamala Harris would be a disaster for America. We need a president who will hold our enemies to account, secure our border, cut our debt, and get our economy back on track. I encourage my delegates to support Donald Trump next week in Milwaukee." Haley earned 97 delegates during the primary process, according to her campaign. Her release of delegates won't have much of an impact at the convention given Trump already secured the 1,215 delegates needed to become the presumptive Republican nominee. State party rules also have an effect on how delegates can vote during the convention. Haley's spokesperson Chaney Denton indicated that Haley would not attend the convention, which is being held in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

SFF Hazelton: Transgender Females Allegedly Sexually Abusing Females
The nation's prison system is over capacity and upside down. Talk to anyone who has spent time in federal prison, and they will tell you it is dysfunctional on so many levels, including that every prison that houses women in the country has transgender individuals living and sharing intimate spaces with biological women. Advocates for transgender females will tell you that there is no danger to biological women. However, reports from a group of women in SFF Hazelton—a women's prison in W. Virginia—tell a different story. The Biden administration restored Obama's policies on transgender individuals in the nation's federal prisons in early 2022. Biden's Justice Department began reviewing transgender prison policies in early 2021. Trump reversed some of the guidelines in 2018, encouraging decisions about placement on a "case-by-case" and not solely based on gender identity. However, the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) reissued the Obama-era Transgender Offender Manual in January 2022. I was reminded of this policy shift because I regularly correspond with J6 defendants now in federal women's prisons. A group of women now write to me regularly from SFF Hazelton—two are J6ers. In the cases where I have not been explicitly given permission to include their names, I have redacted their identities.
The Tip fairy is certainly very accomodating.
California man reveals the shocking amount he was asked to leave at San Diego bar Catalina Lounge A shocked bar patron has revealed the amount he was asked to leave as a tip when paying his bill in San Diego. Gordon Kling showed how upon paying his $24.50 tab at Catalina Lounge in Ocean Beach he was presented with a 100% tip option, which would have doubled his total to $49. Other options on the payment device include an extortionate 50% tip which would have added $12.25 to the man's total, together with more moderate 25% and 20% options.
Locals in one Mediterranean hot spot load up water guns to protest mass tourism: 'Go home'
Barcelona's officials have already planned to remove vacation apartments from the city Residents of Barcelona took out their frustrations against the increased mass tourism by visiting popular spots around the city this weekend and spraying people with water guns, demanding they go home. "Enough, let’s put limits on tourism," was another rallying cry for the thousands of people – around 2,800, according to Catalan News – who turned up on Saturday evening at the city center and started marching around to major tourist hot spots in the city. Organizers claimed that the protest provided an outlet for the "discomfort that exists in Barcelona" regarding increased mass tourism, which local officials have blamed for higher cost of living and housing, making it difficult for locals to live in the city.

Waking Up to Legal Weed
The challenges of marijuana legalization are becoming more and more obvious. There was something sort of desperate in Maryland Gov. Wes Moore’s announcement last month that he had signed an executive order pardoning more than 175,000 Marylanders for misdemeanor marijuana and drug paraphernalia possession. Moore’s office, of course, painted the pardon as “historic.” But there’s a deep disparity between presentation and reality, between the idea of a historic blow for racial justice and the facts on the ground. The order will likely improve some of its beneficiaries’ employment prospects, although only about a quarter will have their records automatically expunged. It will result in no decarceration, because no Marylander is currently imprisoned on marijuana charges. And because the pardons stretch back to offenses in the 1980s, an unknown fraction of recipients are no longer alive to enjoy their new status. These tepid results make Moore’s pardon feel more like an attempt to reclaim the excitement that came with recreational marijuana legalization two years ago. “See,” it all but says, “legal weed is still something we can feel good about!”

For instance, Jill Biden started he rise to power by first watching over and presumably keep in control Biden offspring who weren't full developed, perhaps changing pants for them and also fuking Joe.
Now she has to keep the reins on an old Biden whose devolving, does crap his pants that Jill leaves to someone else while fucking Joe over.

My family's theory on that is you should tip them an absurdly low amount, like one cent. If you don't leave anything, they may assume you're just a cheapskate, but if you leave a penny, it's a clear commentary on their service.

How did you spend your Independence Day long weekend? I spent three nights in the hospital. Daughter suggested next time we go on vacation somewhere nice. I said, can we get insurance to pay for it? HaHaHa ugh.
Four days on a "clear liquid" diet turns out to be
The hospital folks were all very nice and mostly good at their jobs. I got better.
Good to be home again, eating MiladyJo's fine home cooking, drinking real coffee, sleeping in our own bed. Walking the dog and petting the cat.
One thing I miss is the high-speed wi-fi there. Our rural cell connection is so slow it usually takes longer to load one of the café items than it takes to watch it. But I don't think I want to go back there just for that.
Thanks for the outpouring of prayers & thoughts, good Hordelings. Much appreciated. 💙
I should write up the classic crowd in the emergency room. Where we were for several hours. Glad it wasn't, like, you know, an emergency.

Nope, just a kid who looked maybe 15. And it was a tiny Subway card reader, I really did not feel like fussing with it with the kid watching me the whole time and this is a small town. I'm just glad he doesn't go to my church... as far as I know.

Posting "first" seems like a cop-out. While posting something vaguely on-topic ahead of the "firsts" feels like out-driving someone with your seven-iron.

Locals definitely pronounce it in a way that's close to a 'th" sound. Many have cited the Castilian King Pedro I, who did indeed have a lisp, as a factor that affected the Castilian dialect of Spanish, which today is the de facto national language of Spain, despite numerous regional variations and traditions.

Time Bandits was just fine as a stand-alone movie. We don't need the epic backstory/prequel/sequel series explaining every little bit of lore. Nor does it need to be remade for "modern audiences."

...Only countries like the US, Canada & Australia have the vast land to serve our need for mass colonization.
solving the “issue of America” is the key to solving all other issues. First, this makes it possible for us to migrate there & even establish another China. America was originally by the yellow race, but Columbus gave credit to the white race. We...are entitled to the possession of the land! Second, after solving the “issue of America,” Europe would bow to us, not to mention other small countries.
Only by using special means to “clean up” America will we be able to lead the Chinese people there...Only by using non-destructive weapons that can kill many people will we be able to reserve America for ourselves...new bio-weapons have been invented one after another...we have seized the opportunity to master weapons of this kind.
we should issue a warning to the USA & persuade them to leave USA & leave the land they have lived in to the Chinese people. Or at least they should leave half of the US to be China’s colony, because America was first discovered by the Chinese...

UnFun Fact. About the third season I lost power at one of my restaurants I decided to purchase a generator. One of those big 'ol sumbitches - like the local bartender big. Lost power one time over the next seven years.

Dog days have come early. These are Rottweiler days here now, actually. 20 minutes to midnight and temp is 83F and dew point is 76F. Air is wet enough to just wring water out.
I got curious as to just how much water the A/C unit was having to condense and checked it with a bucket under the drain line. It's a bit over 1/2 gallon per hour. 12 gallons of water per day just pulled out of the air.

Just throw the South Col junk and bodies off the South Col ridgeline, 11,000 feet to the bottom of the Kangshung Face. Instead of taxing the climbers to pay Sherpas to lug it down to the Base Camp.

Greenville, SC area. 5 - 10 gallons per day is normal summer here.
In some place, say the coast of wherever it was next to the Persian Gulf (water gets hot there and evaporates like crazy). Let's see, it was Dharan Saudi Arabia, highest dew point ever recorded, 95F. Temp was 108F.
Under those conditions, you'd need to size the hell out of an A/C unit, and 1 gal per hour would be pissing in the wind. Don't know how much it would be, but it would be a shit ton of water.

Apparently white rock bands are becoming an extinct species, at least in the modern pop culture sense.
They’ve all been replaced by slutty Pop Divas, Rap, and if you’re white, with talent, you go to Nashville, not LA or NYC. It’s regrettable.
The woke destroy everything they touch.
Just remember the heydays of rock in the 60s - 90s and look at the wasteland today. We’re left with folk bands passing as indie.

Daughter drives us the hour down, and back, brought us items we needed mid-stay, and helps in other ways, including keeping the Horde updated. Her wonderful husband took care of our Daisy dog while we were away. Our good son helped with visiting & feeding the cat.

The chances the dog probiotic will hurt you is very low.
Look up the bacterial strains listed on the box and check them for human biome as well online
Chances are you and the dog share them normally, anyways. Asian breeds tend to be corprophagic, and on the steppes and such they would clean up after the humans as well
Chances are it might do you some good, or there is a study that says it might be useful or normal gut flora

A few years back our scout troop was camping on the eastern shore of Chesapeake Bay at a YMCA summer camp (it was late September). We shared the camp with a group of fathers camping out with their daughters at a dad-daughter camping event.
I should say that the daughters camped out. The dads spent their time getting drunk and listening to Grateful Dead tapes 24 hours a day, played loudly and for public "enjoyment".
"Doesn't that shit ever end?" was my irritated comment upon being awakened by it around 2:30 AM on the second night we were there.

Look up the bacterial strains listed on the box and check them for human biome as well online
Chances are you and the dog share them normally, anyways. Asian breeds tend to be corprophagic, and on the steppes and such they would clean up after the humans as well
Chances are it might do you some good, or there is a study that says it might be useful or normal gut flora

I feel obligated to add that that trip was by no means among our most interesting camping weekend. That had to be the weekend we drift canoed down the Susquehanna River in Pennsylvania and our campground base was a camp frequented by fisherfolk. That was a real eye-opener.

Heh! This truck is what the used-car dealers would call a "cream puff". Late owner Jake was a real old maid when it came to cars, and never abused them.
It just wasn't the rig for me. The driver's seat puts a cramp in my butt. Just does not fit right. And it's a 4-door cab with a very short box and a topper, meaning it's hard to load bulky items in the back, and the load is not secure against theft. And the box is too short to sleep in, which I can do in the Suburban. If I didn't already own vehicles better suited to my needs, I would be glad to have it.

Skip it, I suggest, & go see 1) Madrid (Prado) and 2) the Spanish countryside (olives and sheep). The coast where they filmed the Spaghetti Westerns (A Fistful of Dollars) has a stark beauty.
And then there's the Spanish Riviera.

Netanyahu is definitely not the man. He's been a big part of the problem for decades.
Israel is always a few years behind the US. So, show us how it's done. I've been saying for a long time that you'll have to or everything will be lost.

Chabad (Jewish): "Bitul Hayesh thus means total self-negation. The ego, all and any forms of selfhood, must be nullified. It has no place in the consciousness of Divine omnipresence."
Islam (Sufi): "Kill me, friends, for in my killing is my life. My death is in my life; my life is in my death. Annihilation of my essence is the noblest of my glories. And my attributes remaining is the foulest of my crimes."
That is what I was referring to when saying there is a shared cosmology that can and will turn illegible; and a self-negating Jew will likely be unable to see a self-negating Muslim as the threat they really are, which is what seems to have occurred.

It's a valid point.
Persons sharing a base self-negating cosmology will often have more affinity with people from 'other religions' that share that cosmology, than with their ostensible 'own people'.
There's more to it, it's not quite so simple as I'm making it seem, but it's a series of what, essays, I've been working on for a while for my Church and my brother, who is like this and can't understand certain results in his life. When it's done, hopefully in working version this week, I'll link it if anyone is interested.

As a very observant Torah Jew, you have no idea how off the mark you are, at least when it comes to religious Jews who are not at all leaning progressive in any way. Chabad has no such lean. Not at all.

I'm aware of the difference. I will point out that what you are close to saying is that Chabad is not Judaism, a risky thing for an 'outsider' to say. Zelensky is Chabad. Chabad is only one of the Kabbalistic threads running in Modern Judaism. Orthodox Christianity has a similar... 'issue':

"Then, Prometheus, the Titans and all the other heroes who rebelled against God in the name of Truth and Goodness—these heroes become infinitely dear to all those illuminated with the ‘Light of Christ’ and blessed by the “Good News.” This apparent rebellion against God is revealed before healed eyes to be the bearing of God in oneself; and the transformative Prometheus, who suffered out of love for humanity, a crucified god with lanced side, turns out to be—in his rebellion against God—a precursor of Christianity."
This Orthodox priest is revered in certain circles of the ROC, and voluntarily went to work for the Bolsheviks. Much of his theology centers on self-negation and a kind of Shamanistic Energy Worship/veneration: that 'All Is All' horseshit. His stuff is big in Russia.
They better be careful with that Pagan cosmology.
