Megalith Cafe

No one knows who they were... or... what they were doing..."

No but seriously, no one knows what they were doing. A scientist just proved that one of the largest stones -- the "altar stone," mostly buried in the ground -- came from northeastern Scotland. The large standing stones come from the UK, and the smaller "blue stones" come from Wales. This new discovery makes Stonehenge more of a United Kingdom production. (Still missing something from Northern Ireland.)

33 Scientists pinpoint dino-killing asteroid’s origin: past Jupiter
AFP; August 16, 2024
An intense debate surrounding the cosmic rock that killed the dinosaurs has stirred scientists for decades, but a new study has revealed some important — and far-out — data about the impactor’s origin story.

Researchers, whose findings were published Thursday in the journal Science, used an innovative technique to demonstrate that the apocalyptic culprit which slammed into the Earth’s surface 66 million years ago, causing the most recent mass extinction, had formed beyond Jupiter’s orbit.

They also refute the idea that it was a comet.

The new insights into the apparent asteroid that cratered into Chicxulub, in what is present-day Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, could improve the understanding of celestial objects that have struck our planet.

“Now we can, with all this knowledge... say that this asteroid initially formed beyond Jupiter,” Mario Fischer-Godde, lead author of the study and a geochemist at the University of Cologne, told AFP.

The conclusions are particularly notable, given how rarely this type of asteroid collides with Earth.

And pretty much the only reason we do any of that sort of thing is to try to catch their eye while also gaining status among other males (which functions as an attractant).

And if things work out right then with fame comes fortune (which also functions as an attractant).

46 Stone Henge never really grabbed my attention.

I like the stonework examples in Peru, it is exceptionally finely made, huge stones, up to 12 sides, precision fit. Cusco and other places have these really beautiful walls. The interlocking feature seems to make them more earthquake resistant.

But I can't figure out why they went to all that trouble with every block unique shaped, it had to be a pain. But they did it anyway, showing off? I don't know. They are before the Inca, who did utilize the sites and build on top of the older structures.

But what's weird, in the new world we see the opposite where the more finely crafted architecture is lower down, and more primitive stuff built on top. Macchu Pichu was always on my bucket list since I was a little kid.

69 North America had a good chunk of it under a mile of Ice until about 11,000 years ago. The southern terminus in Iowa is around Des Moines, there is still a glacial moraine visible, called a "lobe".

I expect the weather for growing anything or critters or anything was pretty crappy much farther south than Des Moines but I don't know.

So no evidence of any habitation would remain in the northern parts of what are now the USA, not older than 11k years anyhow, and .... mile thick glaciers. Ice ages Suck.

But you need to have your lawnmower and generator confiscated, and eat bugs if "they" get their way? I mean, that seems to be the concern with the tin-foil crowd. Who live in California at least, it isn't a fairy tale, they really plan on banning All The Things, for the childruns I reckon

90 I wrote the following for an email list. It's mid conversation. I think I probably share too much.

Seriously, I did learn one lesson.

This was definitely one of those things that costs a great deal of money. I take back what I said before. I now have a better understanding of how getting double stuffed falls in the realm of very expensive exams. It's not surgery but it's certainly the most invasive thing I've had done. Otherwise the most significant medical experiences I've had before this were the two kidney stones back in '10 or '11 and my tonsillectomy from when I was 12.

Also, you can totally feel the anesthesia kicking in. It's like a kind of fuzz that begins in the back of your brain. I just closed my eyes and rolled with it. I've slept terribly the last couple of nights, I wasn't going to fight the opportunity for some shut-eye.

I won't get the results of anything until the follow up...whenever I get back. I have at least a tentative diagnosis to one problem I've had. Ulcerative pancolitis. (Autocucumber tried changing that to pangolins.). Which according to the interwebs is basically ulcerative colitis but...worse. I suspected something along those lines./1

Anyway, fun times. Not bad at all. It was mostly lots of waiting. Everything felt quite dignified. No one made fun of my wrinkly behind. (And if they did, well...if a trees falls in the forest, amirite?) once the drugs kicked in I embraced sweet, sweet oblivion. I'm not even sore. I was groggy as hell afterwards but I steadily improved and perked right up after I ate. And yes I *did* get that spicy chicken sammich from Chik-Fil-A. So freakin' delicious. With waffle fries. And a strawberry shake. Was that a good idea? Well, they said to avoid spicy food for the day but...ah, fuck 'em. Which brings us to the lesson of our tale...fried chicken is good and proof that the good lawd above wants us to be happy.

And also getting it in the ass while unconscious isn't really so bad.

But despite a few nerves the whole process was pretty straightforward. The lack of sleep was mostly just bad luck, but the...cleanse...wasn't really all that bad. The worst part for me was the fasting cuz...ya know...I like to eat. :B

After that it's just strip down, put this on, lay here, roll over...I got a really comfy pillow against my back...then *POOF*. Lights out. Wake up some time later, but I'm not even sore. Maybe it's a scam and they make up results and just keep the money. I dunno. But it's easy peasy.

Organized crime outfits are good at bribing airline employees for flight manifests (lists of passengers).

They then Google each name, create a list of apparent high-value targets, and arrive early to look for the right names on limo driver signs. They pay or threaten the actual limo drivers, who leave and are replaced.

This is why I use pseudonyms for any car service pickups around the world. By using a made-up name for your car reservation, if you see a placard with your real name on it, you know it’s a set-up.

If you become successful—or simply appear successful on the Internet—and travel a lot overseas, this is not paranoia.

Top Washington Post editors reviewing a private Instagram story by Taylor Lorenz that reportedly labeled Biden a "war criminal" in a photo caption
📌#Washington | #DC
Senior editors at The Washington Post are reviewing a tech columnist's private social media post that appears to label President Biden a 'war criminal' in a photo. The incident followed Taylor Lorenz's attendance at a White House event for digital influencers. Lorenz initially denied the caption's authenticity, dismissing it as a 'dumbass edit.' However, NPR obtained a screengrab of the original post and confirmed its authenticity through four sources. Reportedly, Lorenz removed the caption an hour after posting and reposted the image without it. A spokesperson for the Post stated that senior editors are 'looking into' the potential violation of standards.

Came up on accident site going the other way once. It was pretty recent, as a big trailer's tandem was still rolling in the median. A big truck was on the shoulder, missing its rear tandem and there was a pile of metal in the slow lane.

As I drove past you could see that the pile of metal had once been a car. There was a guy walking away holding his head with both hands, obviously in in distress. I figure he had just seen what was still in the car.

154 @98 There is a village in that area that has a stone circle surrounding it.

Stones and monuments are all through the "modern" medieval village, and a lot of them got sold, hauled away, buried on purpose or re-used, until an amateur antiquarian started buying it up and noising it about. And the thing about him was, he was heir to a pretty good fortune that arose when his mother got a good deal when a ship carrying oranges got stuck in port and they started to go bad. The family developed the mass production, branding and distribution of marmalade.

Right in the same neighborhood there's a massive iron age tor that you cruise right past on the motorway, totes unrelated, if you're on the way to see the pretty horsies on the cliffside. And most of those things are older than Stonehenge. Busy area, a while back.

The largest Miyaki Event was in 774 AD. They think now it was a YUGE solar flare/geomagnetic storm. There as some other isotope spikes then that are compatible with a gamma ray burst.

However, there is little in the historical record of YUGE Aurorae at the time. There are some references that can be interpreted as such, though.

If it was a solar event, the 774 AD would've made Carrington look like nothing.

(they were all benign, yay) ... all was good, a few weeks later, got my ostomy reversal (YAY!) ...

prep was the full gallon of polyethylene glycol solution, but honestly, I've had the runs worse a time or two; (it did the job super sweet, the long blood-red tunnel was immaculate); and I was shall we say, highly motivated.
I *heart* my hospital! they literally saved my life a few years ago.
(and contrary to all mythology, the food was excellent!) (unlimited popsicles? italian ice? avocado toast? black coffee counts as "clear liquid? what's not to love?)

Previously discussed here, researchers attempted to domesticate foxes, through selective breeding, and after several generations, they sorta gave up on it, believing that it would be damn near impossible to change fox behavior... unless you have thousands of generations to go through.

The biggest problem? No matter how "friendly" your in-home fox gets, it will still shit everywhere and anywhere.

237 Any thoughts on the shingles vaccine? I'm almost 57 and had chickenpox as a kid (and remember it very well).

I got it. Kaiser wanted me to take another COVID shot.

Oh my, that was fun.

238 Insignificant to the investigation an impressive thing was how long it took them, after they opened the cruiser back door, to be rifle ready.

The fact that they cleaned up the biological evidence so quickly after the shooting speaks to me of pre-planning. I am afraid I am going to have to restock my supply of tinfoil.

239 Just guessing but perhaps Our Betters have sacrificed dudes getting on women's sports teams to make us normies feel like we are winning so we don't focus on all the ways they are letting beholden illegals vote. You see and hear more and more about the way the govt is basically giving them the means to feel grateful and supported out of the zillions of dollars they collect and print and are "authorized" to toss around out of the passed "Good Things For The People Act" or something like that which no-one has read and the govt paid press won't look into. They don't even pass an actual budget any more and haven't for years.

Then there are the anecdotes.

My mom had shingles and it was a year of misery. During that time she met a lot of people in real life and online with awful awful stories. An artist who had shingles on his fvcking eyeball.

242 If it can be done in Egypt it can be done elsewhere.

Could be. The way it was mason-splained to me, the stone engineers in Egypt knew some secrets they did not readily share. They were supported by a highly motivated taxpayer base, and had access to a quality labor pool, at least for a while.

Other than Caesar being pretty impressed with Druids, we don't know much yet about how such things were handled in Britain.

I'm currently in that same spot. From what I can tell you don't want to get shingles. Also the vaccine can trigger shingles. Oh, and the vaccine doesn't vaccinate against you getting shingles. And you'll need additional boosters to continue to not be fully protected from getting shingles, but they can also trigger shingles.

I don't know what the right answer is.

I've had shingles, gout, and kidney stones (just passed one last weekend). Honestly, I didn't think any of them were nearly as bad as I've heard.

I chalk it up to 'no brain... no pain'

248 There are all kinds of whiskey. I like bourbon the best. But then, I have since I was a little boy, so that's no surprise.

But I like other whiskeys. I like the Tennessee version of bourbon, even though it tastes dirty. I like scotch. Singles and blended, whatever. I like Canadian whiskey, even though it's basically liqueur.

But I hate Irish whiskey. It's just a bottle of vomit you drink with a whore whose husband will beat up for fucking you.

The squirrel panel jury is split, gross incompetence vs fed participation

Very few people had to be "in on it". The natural inclination of workers, especially govt workers living for that pension, is to do what boss says, keep quiet, and if something bad happens, make sure YOU don't catch the blame for it. You have put up with crap for 10-15 years, you have observed what happens to people that go against the management, and you probably won't change anything if you do except ruin YOUR life.

253 "1923", the sequel to "Yellowstone", has been filming here on Galveston Island.

I did not go and seek any autographs. But the "extras" dressing trailers, dining trailers and other rigs have been parked in the County facility parking lot, across the street from the back of my house.

And no, it does not appear that the movie bid'ness is in the least bit glamorous. And for the film crews? Lighting, staging, sound, cameras? GEEZ. Bustin' hump in 102f Texas Humidity. Pass!

254 How do they even sell Irish whiskey? I think it's a niche thing. Boston, Chicago, NY and the ol' Emerald Isle. Nobody else can gut down that swill. It's enough people to keep the stills in business, I guess.

257 Any thoughts on the shingles vaccine

My uncle got the vax and then got a bad case of shingles a couple months ago. He actually passed away a couple days ago. Not sure if related but last I saw him a month or so ago it really had him weakened.

258 I haven't had any shots since I was sixteen, and that was for tetanus, and it was 25 years ago.

That's probably not good. I probably should've gotten some shots since then.

But I haven't, and it hasn't killed me.

I have to wonder if these injections are overrated.

259 As Tartaglione tells it, Epstein returned to their shared cell after a meeting with the federal prosecutors. He told his cellmate that the prosecutors were fishing for a plea deal with him if he would provide damaging information about Trump that would support his impeachment. It didn’t matter whether it was true or not.
