The Quotes of The Day


Quote I

"I always meant to go back and revise my review to reflect that, and life got busy and I never did," Erin Elizabeth Herbert

Quote II

“So I know everybody always says, it’s too soon to talk about guns, and we should, because there has been a terrible death of a father of two, that thoughts and prayers should be where we go.

“I say no. I say now is the time to talk about the common denominator when it came to this assassination attempt, is America’s fascination and obsession with owning guns.” Sunny Hostin

*****

It was certainly a big news day today. Plus Saturday's assassination attempt investigation is just starting to heat up.


The title says it all, Overnight Open Thread...........Talk away!

Miraculous Rescue: Woman Swept Out To Sea Found After 37 Hours Adrift

A young woman, swept out to sea while swimming at a beach in Japan, has been rescued 37 hours later, having drifted more than 50 miles in the Pacific Ocean.

100 The Trumpinator has a big bandage over his right ear tonight. Gonna make it obvious he was wounded.
Posted by: Gref

It was just some loud sounds that made his ear bleed...The AP.

Just a comment about J.D. Vance. He is a really smart guy, very articulate, thinks on his feet, won't get "stumped" like some other previous "VP's" I can think of (Mike Pence, Paul Ryan, Dan Quayle, etc.).
The problem with Ron DeSantis (in the primaries, etc) was that he forgot his political "instincts" and let his ideas and message get garbled by the political handler class. They all told him he couldn't campaign and govern the US like he did Florida. Which, in fact, is what his national supporters wanted.
I think Ron is a great guy and would make a good President, but he kind of dorked himself in the primaries. I sincerely hope he has learned from this.

Vance does trust his own judgement and "instincts" and will not be anyone's "yes" man. This might not have been seen nationally, but he was up at East Palestine,OH several times last year (after the big trainwreck, etc), and walked around with people, and was pretty outraged about what had happened.

Somebody was poo-poohing the idea that this was deliberate by saying that the Deep State wouldn't have used a 20-year-old loser as an assassin.

Well, the 20-year-old loser missed by an inch, and would have succeeded, except for Trump's sudden head turn.

It is a f***ing miracle that Trump is still with us.

115 The problem with Ron DeSantis (in the primaries, etc) was that he forgot his political "instincts" and let his ideas and message get garbled by the political handler class. They all told him he couldn't campaign and govern the US like he did Florida. Which, in fact, is what his national supporters wanted.
I think Ron is a great guy and would make a good President, but he kind of dorked himself in the primaries. I sincerely hope he has learned from this.

I've been thinking this myself. If DeSantis learns from this and applies those lessons, I think he'll be fine in 2028.

116 Adding caustic soda/lye/sodium hydroxide to the Pacific Ocean is a joke. Exactly how much are they going to add - have they done any calculations? Why not stick electrodes in the water and pass a current? Sodium Hydroxide will form at the cathode. Wait, California doesn't have 'spare' electricity.

Is it standard practice to the let the target (Trump) stand exposed to possible danger? Hell if it’s important enough for the snipers to focus on the possible danger, it seems important enough to remove the target from the area.

256 I cannot remember any politician having a bigger moment than Trump has.

Survives an assassin's bullet. Bloodied and angry, raises a fist in what is easily the most iconic photo of this century so far. It's such a good photo, many purple haired lesbians dyed their hair back natural, went home and hugged their dad and went to church on Sunday.

Then his biggest legal battle is dismissed and his biggest legal foe is neutered.

Now the Dems are resigned to losing and aren't even bothering to try and get Biden out of the race.

The man is a legend. This whole thing is legendary. No politician has ever been this blessed by the Big Man upstairs in such a short order.

Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto as a young naval officer at the Battle of Tsushima was wounded and lost fingers on one hand. One more digit and he would have been medically retired. Instead he almost lead the Imperial Japanese Navy to complete victory in World War II in the first six months.

There were three snipers stationed INSIDE the building the shooter was on, according to a local law enforcement officer with direct knowledge.

411 Read the comment about Trump making Brigham Young his VP and Romney still not liking it. I would imagine not!

Brigham Young was flat out based. The guy put up with 27 wives! He would terrify someone like Romney or Jonah Goldberg or Kristol.

Plus, he outfoxed Buchanan and managed to, without killing anyone, fight the US army to a standstill. Even Lincoln didn't want to tangle with Brigham Young. I can only imagine the politically incorrect things Young would say....

Nor do I.

If they can't stop it, they might as well burn everything down.

🚨🇺🇸VIVEK EYES VANCE'S SENATE SEAT IN POTENTIAL TRUMP WIN

Former GOP presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy expressed strong interest in potentially filling JD Vance's Senate seat if Trump-Vance ticket wins in November.

The Ohio native told NBC News he would "strongly consider" an appointment to replace Vance.

Vivek:

"The only negative of JD's selection is this leaves our side missing one of our best fighters in the Senate.

If asked to serve, I would strongly consider the position."

If Trump wins, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine would appoint a temporary replacement before a special election.

What does having two extra people aboard the ISS have on onboard supplies?

"Stoney, Houston. Can you reduce the oxygen pressure?"

Posted by: Anna Puma at July 15, 2024 10:54 PM (HeZkj)


Spacecraft crews typically do not eat all the food they are allocated. This is known but full daily calorie allocations are still launched. Typically crews end up not liking some things they selected pre-flight. That stuff is the typical un-eaten items. The Starliner two and the ISS crew may have to eat some items they don't prefer but won't go hungry. Plus there is always an amount stowed for use in-case of unplanned additional on-orbit days. Upcoming resupply vehicles while the Starliner two are there will have more food stowed at the expense of something else; science experiment supplies or small experiments that can wait, etc.

Oxygen and water I'm not sure about. Both can be added as-needed to upcoming resupply vehicles. Worst-come-to-worse, one half of the six-person ISS crew can be brought home early or the next ISS crew can be delayed going up, to extend on-board supplies - if the Starliner two are stranded until a Dragon or Soyuz with empty seats arrives to bring them home.

My first presidential election that I could vote in was BJ Clitton. I pretty much knew which way I leaned but I felt I should give both sides equal thought and I kept an open mind. I can't remember if it was a campaign speech or after he already won, but I was all primed up.

I had no distractions, I had my notebook and I started taking notes while watching TV. Man, what a crock of s**t! I remember being disgusted with him of how much he lied and what a snake he was. I've thought of that off and on over the years. And guess what...I found those notes! I wouldn't call myself a hoarder, but I do like to keep things. Oh man my notes were hilarious. YOU LIE!! M****RF***ER! FU!! Stuff like that.

Starliner is designed and ground-certified to be docked to ISS for 200 days, so the electronics should be OK for the period so far. 'Should' being the operative word. The ground will get continuous telemetry from powered systems while docked. Starliner can draw electric power from ISS through connectors in the docking system.

Starliner is designed and ground-certified to be docked to ISS for 200 days, so the electronics should be OK for the period so far. 'Should' being the operative word. The ground will get continuous telemetry from powered systems while docked. Starliner can draw electric power from ISS through connectors in

799 A fire broke out at the historic Rouen Cathedral in northern France on July 11, 2024. The blaze occurred in the spire of the Gothic cathedral, which is one of the tallest in France. The fire was quickly brought under control by firefighters, and no significant damage was reported to the cathedral or its artworks.

Cause of the Fire
The fire is believed to have started from a plastic tarp covering part of the cathedral’s spire, which was undergoing restoration work. The tarp caught fire, causing the blaze to spread.

827 799 A fire broke out at the historic Rouen Cathedral in northern France on July 11, 2024. The blaze occurred in the spire of the Gothic cathedral, which is one of the tallest in France. The fire was quickly brought under control by firefighters, and no significant damage was reported to the cathedral or its artworks.

Cause of the Fire
The fire is believed to have started from a plastic tarp covering part of the cathedral’s spire, which was undergoing restoration work. The tarp caught fire, causing the blaze to spread.

852 I wonder if part of today's smell is also the fact that it's packed much tighter/denser. You don't get a baggie full of shake and loose bud anymore. Of course, you also get a whole lot more of what makes merryjuana merry.

Speaking of which (being merry), the other night I decided to re-learn, on keyboard, a guitar solo I wrote many years ago. I do not easily learn by ear but I managed to play along on the keyboard to the guitar solo and almost got it down -- it's in A minor so all white keys, except there was that one interval that sounded off, too sorrowful. Then it hit me (not understanding, not the THC). I knew it just didn't sound right in A minor. Nope, A *harmonic* minor, which means I have to use my pinky on a black key and I hate that. But once I mostly got it down, it was a lot of fun to play and sounded great.

First time I encountered fire ants I was stringing fence for some runs, wearing western boots that had decorative stitching. I looked down and they were all over my boots, especially attracted to the little stitch divots. They were collected around those divots just stinging away.

And if you want something to ponder. Put a hygrometer in pure steam, superheated steam above 212F.

You will find it reads considerably less than 100% RH.

Most real world hygrometers would be out of their range here, and nonsense would be expected anyway, but assuming it's not, you still get very low RH readings. The problem here is the very definition of RH in the presence of water vapor well about 1 atm saturation pressure.

915 I remember at one point, Ace said he was going to become a Democrat because he was tired of losing. That may have been when Trump took the lead and kept it.

He didn't support Trump then, and neither did I. I said I would write in Ted Cruz before I would vote for Trump.

But come November, I voted for Trump with vicious pleasure, as SMOD. I expect that will happen with many people this year.

One black guy on X said his 60 year old grandmother, a lifelong Democrat, is voting for Trump.

Wouldn't it be an amazing thing if this preference cascade finally happened, and the Dems can't keep up with Trump votes no matter how hard they try?

Well, I think I'll be going to sleep soon and I'm determined to have sweet dreams.

Not saying all of them by any means, but a large percentage of Thor's older male relatives are appalling in that regard. And I'm from Georgia, ffs, and have relatives who were actual Klansmen. But none of them would've dreamed of dropping the n word in every day conversation, out in public, let alone with women and children in the room. Several of his uncles do, though... or did. Not around me any more, however. Had to nip that shit in the bud immediately. But I hear it fairly regularly when we're out and about.

Ok, not regularly, but I shouldn't be hearing it at all!

Posted by: Tammy-al Thor at July 16, 2024 02:48 AM (Vvh2V)

997 I've never liked hearing the n word, even as a little girl. I could tell it was ugly. I was told not to play with the "n" children down the road. That was at my grandmother and grandfather's place. Pop-pop tried to run one over, it is said, and that's when they took his car keys away.

998 We certainly have room for a clutch of Olympic sized swimming pools in the garden area.

Having the electric fence surrounding them would ensure that no deer would be swimming there. I don't think it would keep out bears, though we don't have any, fortunately.

I suspect, (knowing a little bit about liver disease and its effects), that he was having a bout of hepatic encephalopathy that night. Just out of his mind and mean. Not "slappy" at all!

1026 My hubby has cirrhosis. Was dx'd "end stage liver disease" 3.5 years ago. "Decompensated" they said. MELD score 27. He had ascites, due to portal vein hypertension & would have up to 12 liters drained from his abdomen every 3-4 weeks. He then had the "TIPS" procedure, which ended the ascites.

Hubby refused transplant & accepted that he may die.

He takes lactulose daily, to prevent encephalopathy. Had a few trips to the ER before I got his dosage just right-- he'd be argumentative, contrary, mean... ugh!

1037 Morning, insomaniacals. I see the ONT has really racked up the commentage this morning -- almost 1100 remarks? Everything is heating up in America, isn't it?

So the Dems have given up on the idea of replacing Biden. Pity; I was hoping for a few more weeks of internecine struggles.

I think in a wider analysis, the Obama faction simply overplayed their hand. This is their Fundamental Transformation made manifest, and it's a bust. You can't be a lazy revolutionary. They took their invincible position bequeathed upon them by a century of academic and political rot hollowing out our civil society.... and just sat on it and said "Fuck you, pay me". They thought they were the ones they were waiting for, but they were just the last wastrel bastard scions of a debauched family, squandering the estate and the family fortune because they have no idea how that fortune ever came to be in the first place.

1065 I can see why Trump would do a 'Unity!' speech in M'waukee. There really are people out there who have no opinions at all about politicians except for maybe a mindless 'They're all crooks!' and mostly don't bother voting. I work with them.
They get all their 'information' from half-watched network TV and Facebook. They form ALL their opinions from fleeting imagery. They don't care about policies except for what might get them something or take less out of their paycheck. The image of Trump with blood on his face is a LOT more powerful than people here might think, to the vast wasteland of the working apathetic. They hate the 'drama' and potential for violence, and so far the perception it's been all Trump's fault, but him getting shot turns that perception on its head. And the firefighter, a family man, getting killed for no reason at all? This thing is crucial and the BEST thing Trump could do in WI is a 'Unity' speech. It's not 'us' he needs to convince.

Given the stories I've heard from acquaintances who work in the local warehouse, the only surprise is that stuff like this doesn't happen more often. It's a terrible working environment and a great many of the employees couldn't give two sh*ts.
