I'm not very good at this.
I had an internet friend die of cancer ('Pandora' internet name). Talked to her a lot. Long late night calls. Cancer. She believed in prayer so I'd like to ask for prayers, not so much for her (although I think she'd appreciate it and find it funny that I'm asking), but for her husband whom she loved very much. She worried about him while she was dying. 'What's he gonna do?' Thank you. I'm still having a hard time processing this.

I have always wondered about the “Groypers” wondered who they really were. Saw something on X today which gave me a conclusion. JD Vance gave a very strong performance in an interview this morning; but within about 2 or 3 hours, about 10 - 20 accounts with “groyper” in the screen name posted identical attacks on Vance with the same unflattering (but meaningless and stupid) picture. The extreme similarity of all of these posts was very striking.
This is not the response of ordinary posters. This is the response of a centrally organized astroturfed operation, designed to appear to be “conservative” but in fact paid to launch online attacks for the Left against both Trump and Vance. Oh and almost all of them used the very lame “Weird” attack, which I believe proves they are all taking orders from Kamala’s handlers, who still think it’s a good idea.

I fi d it difficult, nigh impossible, to believe that every souvenir kiosk in the Magic Kingdom was sold out of Baby plushies. Was that movie so popular and the character so beloved that every child just had to have a velveteen likeness for themselves?
Okay, I see what really happened. Poor ace (he doesn't capitalize his name while commenting, so I will follow his lead there) didn't go to Disneyland until at least three weeks after the release of the film, by which time, much like the career of Eldridge Carpenter, it had totally slipped from the nation's collective memory. The character had not been sold out, it was just no longer available. Posted by: tankdemon at August 11, 2024 10:16 PM (BmK6C) 58

No doubt. But if you are a renter in a regular house, or an apartment, you can say, "kiss my ass" and simply leave. Even better if you stop paying rent for a month or two. But if you are paying site rent for a mobile, they have you by the short and curlies.

The first time I went to Ireland with my mom she wanted to kiss the Bkarney stone. She grew up not far from it and never bothered with it. I thought for sure she woukd say no way, but we climbed up and she bent backwards and she kissed the stone. So did I just ti keep from hearing about it the whole time we were there. She didn't really need to because she woukd talk to anyone and could sell ice to an Eskimo.

Las Vegas: Day no longer certain what of my Harris/Walz campaign documentary Cackle Creature: The Ascent of a Fell Beast. I have slowly, and with regret, emerged from the drunken stupor that was my sanity's only defense against this blasphemy of electoral ventures. Werner notes with grudging respect that Kamala has out-drank and over-indulged in uppers to a degree that not even the Press pool can manage. And they started their journey to intoxicated oblivion before even arriving at the campaign junket.
The Vegas event was notable for Governor Walz's multi-media presentation on his gallant deed at the Battle of Thermopylae, accentuated by the cape and loin cloth included in his attire. He remains to be interviewed, as he now works on the press release for his warring against the Assyrian king Tilgath Pilezer and his epic crossing of the Andes Mountains to liberate South America. And the Vice President? The promise to make a run for Everclear won me a few moments of her time.

The thing about "mobile homes" or whatever you want to call them is that in most states in order to get a conventional mortgage on one that is currently situated on "land" that is able to be "bought" the structure cannot be able to be moved.
I own 2. This is how it works. Moving one that has been situated on a block foundation for X number of years will more or less destroy the structure. Some can be moved from A to B. None will be without damage. Sometimes irreparable. Renting a "trailer" in a "trailer park" is not ownership. Posted by: Martini Farmer at August 11, 2024 10:52 PM (Q4IgG) 184

Posted by: Don Black at August 11, 2024 10:47 PM (/7KEl) Whwn i was a kid we had a game called rumble. You threw a nerf football up in a tree and whoever caught it had to run around and everyone else tried to tackle the guy with the ball. If you missed a tackle and fell to the ground you were out or if you got tackled. When you got tired of running the ball you could punt by throwing it back up in the tree. Now that's a sport. Posted by: Cuthbert the Witless at August 11, 2024 10:52 PM (uBBbP) 185
Fun fact... in order to get a conventional mortgage on a "mobile home" (in order to refer it legally as "property") the ability to move it is removed.
That is, the hitch that brought the house in, or the pieces onto your plot/land/etc. is cut off. So "moving" a mobile home once it's been set is more or less a non-starter. Posted by: Martini Farmer In the state of washington, mobile homes are considered personal property, you pay a higher interest rate. Now if it is placed on a permanent foundation it is considered real property and qualifies for traditional mortgage loans. Posted by: Some Rat at August 11, 2024 10:52 PM (vJiyU) 186

84 Hellfire missiles are not wire-guided.
Posted by: Semi-Literate Thug at August 11, 2024 10:20 PM (xPNeT) Wire-guided might make sense for short-range missiles fired from stationary launchers. Any place else, prone to wasteful failure. Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at August 11, 2024 10:23 PM (Jj3ts) Yes, sort-of. Helicopters were very successfully armed with TOW and many foreign wire-guided anti-tank missiles. The helicopter had to hover in-sight of the target for a decent hit probability. So, pretty-much stationary. Making the helo vulnerable to AA fire. The US Army worked to minimize the exposure time of the Cobras and Apaches by using Kiowa spotting helicopters in teams with the attack helicopters. The Kiowas had a rotating optical sight mounted above the rotor so the helo itself could stay below a tree line or hill yet pinpoint targets for the attack helos to pop-up and fire at. The attack helos only had to expose themselves for the TOW missile flight time, not that plus target search time. Tank vs anti-tank. A century-old battle continuing to play-out in Ukraine.

You really couldn't find a more disastrous political figure than Kamala Harris. She watched while the city of San Francisco turned into an absolute hell scape with boarded up businesses and people living in tents in the streets.
But she wasn't done yet she became Attorney General of the state of California in spite of never having passed the bar . There she basically legalized shoplifting. Moving on to the United States Senate, she perpetuated one of the the biggest hoaxes of all time. She and Senator Booker introduced an anti-lynching act (which is already illegal). In order to do so they needed an actual lynching so they called upon their good friend Jesse Smollett. The legislation passed (who would vote against an anti lynching act). She also cast the tiebreaking vote to tax tips, which she now flip-flops. You'd be hard pressed to find a sorrier political figure than her.

Changing the blood pressure normal limits make my blood pressure go through the roof. When I asked about it I was told there was new scientific studies showing modern blood pressure was higher and that it put a strain on the heart. I asked if it coukd possibly be that big pharma needed doctors to push all the different blood pressure meds out now. It's the same with cholesterol meds. The normals have changed because of the statins big pharma have to pay for.

It's the same with cholesterol meds. The normals have changed because of the statins big pharma have to pay for. Posted by: Megthered at August 11, 2024 11:28 PM (rwiQP) ---- Yep, and even now that the whole cholesterol causes heart attacks fable has been debunked sometime around 2015, doctors won't tell you and keep prescribing those statins. I wonder if there are still payoffs for them? In the 40s hundreds of thousands soldiers were tested (blood). Now these were mostly extremely healthy 18-22 yearolds. Cholesterol average (bell curve) was 200-220. The medical bigwigs (3 of them) decided that in order to have anyone to study they should make it Below 200 as normal. And here we are 60 years later still with that made up standard. Look up Mary G. Enig or "The Oiling Of America".

On doctors, recall that the FDA had to ban lots and lots of Big Pharma practices because doctors were too naive and venal to see through them. Big Pharma was giving doctors what amounted to free vacations, meals, and other payments in kind. And doctors were perfectly content to do whatever Big Pharma said in exchange. There was little resistance, except the FDA, back when it was anti-industry. The FDA's since been coopted by industry, and med schools are thoroughly committed to DEI on top of all this. Doctors are really no better than lawyers at this point, and that's saying something, because the legal profession is deeply corrupted at this point.

What is a Mexican promotion? At retirement they are promoted a rank but in reality, the new rank means nothing. Not even a bump in pay. Posted by: Anna Puma at August 11, 2024 11:57 PM (/7uf9) ---- I think he retired as a Master Sgt , both rank and pay. Posted by: polynikes at August 11, 2024 11:59 PM (B1dzx) That is correct. He had a temporary promotion to CSM provided he take two training courses and ship out to Afghanistan or Iraq, I forget which. He re-upped for 6 years. He finished one course, then begged out after 4 to run for office. Due to those two factors, got out 2 years early as a Master Sergeant. Never in a combat zone but did do a little time in Italy. Claimed to be in combat and suffering PTSD. Talked about being at Bagram (in Iraq, he said, which is more BS). The dude's worse that Magic Hat Kerry, if that is even possible. He also wanted to ban the weapons 'he carried into war', another oopsy-daisy. Many videos of him interviewed and nodding along with the combat veteran narrative (he built) -- numerous times.

Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at August 11, 2024 11:06 PM (Jj3ts) I wish someone at the nursing facility would apologize for keeping my father in solitary and not diagnosing his parkinsons until I mentioned his hand tremors. Of course he died of heart failure before the appointment was scheduled. I also wish the Governor who declared that nursing home patients had to be kept isolated due to the virus could only be allowed visitors if they had the shots, and then when he got the shots they changed their minds and kept him in solitary anyways. I also want a pony, and you know, the plumbing company who came to replace my sewer line to the street actually sent me a picture of a pony before they ripped up the side yard all the way to the curb. I don't blame BTH, he was afraid and trusted the lies that fed his fears. I should have been more afraid of what they would do to us to make sure we were afraid, though.

Read an old article about a new style of hearing aid that did not go into the ear but was placed on that hollow bone right behind the ear.
Concept being it does not interfere with whatever natural hearing one has but the amplifier is placed on a bone that resonates sound through the cranium thus amplified and picked up by that resonating bone. Posted by: Braenyard at August 12, 2024 12:48 AM (xt/Zg) 473

As I understand it, Mars' problem from a terraforming perspective was that you can load it up with all the atmosphere and water that you want, but in its absence of a strong magnetic field, Solar Storm Days would keep more kids out of its public schools -- were the colonists stupid enough to import that failed education model -- than anything else. And the absence of a strong and consistent magnetic field on Mars was due it not having a molten, and therefore capable of rotating, nickel-iron planetary core. But again, that was my own understanding. Posted by: Krebs v Carnot: Epic Battle of the Cycling Stars (TM) at August 12, 2024 12:52 AM (YadcW) 483

As I understand it, Mars' problem from a terraforming perspective was that you can load it up with all the atmosphere and water that you want, but in its absence of a strong magnetic field, Solar Storm Days would keep more kids out of its public schools -- were the colonists stupid enough to import that failed education model -- than anything else.
And the absence of a strong and consistent magnetic field on Mars was due it not having a molten, and therefore capable of rotating, nickel-iron planetary core. But again, that was my own understanding. Posted by: Krebs v Carnot: Epic Battle of the Cycling Stars (TM) at August 12, 2024 12:52 AM (YadcW) Well, I would expect any Mars colony would have most of its habitations and work sites placed underground, both for warmth, and to avoid solar and cosmic rays. On the surface, you would have greenhouses, and various resource-extraction operations. Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at August 12, 2024 12:58 AM (TNJzY) 498

Great cinematic efforts are being considered, ja? Werner humbly suggests the viewing of his Bad Lieutenant, Port of Call New Orleans, an unnecessary loosely connected sequel to the perverse abortion that was Harvey Keitel's Bad Lieutenant.
The focus of my film is the versatile efforts of America's Lord Googly-Eyed Intensity, Nicholas Cage. (This title he took from Steve Buscemi in an epic slap-fight that raged for hours; to be the man you must beat the man.) Having lost a bet to Giada de Laurentis, whose pleasant exterior masks a ruthlessness that would make Machiavelli turn more pale than Christopher Walken in an Arctic blizzard, it fell to me to helm this project. Please consult YouTube for the scene "His soul is still dancing," and you will see why Werner drinks to excess. Posted by: Werner Herzog Checks In at August 12, 2024 01:11 AM (tmPIh) 524

Back, briefly. Went outside to take a pee. (saves water, doncha know) Saw a red glow on north horizon, seemed to be flickering. Could it be a grass fire? Got in a vehicle, and drove north. On high ground, at the 4 mile point, could see a fire, and flashing emergency lights. Went another 2 miles north, and one west, and it was still at least 2 miles off. Wind is very light, so I doubt there is any risk to me, and there does appear to be firefighters there. Came back home. Now I go to bed.

Mooslems hate dogs!! I think Old Mo got bitten and was piss scared of them.

Mars did have a magentic field way back billions of years ago. It lasted for a while, but the internal dynamo shut down. One of the landers up there (a stationary one) has some of sort of seismic instrument which will be used to try to better get a handle on the internal structure. In that ancient epoch, Mars also had an ocean. The ocean would've been over most of the northern hemisphere. The dry land would've been mostly on the bottom half.

https://tinyurl.com/2vuey7yu Posted by: Ciampino I've been to Hadrien's Wall (1992, I think), but not that part. Never got to see that tree. I will endeavor to persevere. The wall itself isn't that high. The Great Wall of China it isn't. Pretty location though. Posted by: Puddleglum, cheer up for the worst is yet to come at August 12, 2024 02:07 AM (sAmhv) ---- Obviously Hadrian must have had a plan. Or maybe they had a "treaty" with the heathen Scots, not to cross that wall on pain of death. Also no Geneva Convention. You want some fun with the prisoner? Go for it.

Link goes to the waybackmachine. Charles Shulz claimed that the rovers uncovered many things about Mars. Super saline water just inches under the soil surface. That the blueberry concretions were fossils. That fumaroles were still active and rover photographs proved it. It’s lots of fun even if untrue - though some of the rover images he links to are quite compelling.

We will not sell for any price, but will allow sharecroppers.
Posted by: Miley A sound policy. One should also stipulate that renting pigs will not be allowed. Werner saw Lonesome Dove and recalls that being a point of pride with Augustus McCrae. Mind you, Werner does not know what was meant by that(nor, does he suspect he would like to know it), but if Captain McCrae opposes it, then of necessity all reasonable people should be agin' it, and not fer it.

I do remember one of the soil analyses found lots of perchlorate or chlorate, I don't remember which. So no organic matter as either salt would be incompatible (react) with carbonaceous matter over the dry centuries, faster if wet.

It's perchlorates. Martian dirt is pretty toxic to humans and plants, and a lot of soil bacteria. Long term breathing of Martian dust will probably be very toxic and cause lung diseases and cancers. Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at August 12, 2024 03:01 AM (w6EFb) 602

xenotech: This water is in easy reach for use. A human colony on Mars would have no problem at all getting any amount of water for survival. This assumes that they would be able to resist bacteria or fungi that are present in the soil today.
