Who the fuck are you? Is OK in The Who lyrics. Not so much when it comes to asking about Allah. Glad we kicked their limey asses twice.
A 61-year-old man in Sutton, England who chanted “who the f*** is Allah” at a right-wing demonstration was sentenced to 18 months in prison. David Spring pled guilty to “violent disorder” after police body camera footage reportedly showed he “[made] threatening and hostile gestures towards police,” according to Your Local Guardian. Spring told officers when he was arrested on August 8 that he did not travel to London to riot. “I went to complain about people put up in hotels,” he reportedly stated.

Allegedly to distance itself from the recent assassinations of Hamas' Ismail Haniyeh and Hezbollah's Fuad Shukr:
"Allegedly, the American delegation presented a list with the names of ten Mossad agents within Iran whom the Americans believed were involved in the assassination, directly or indirectly."
A source is claiming that this is Iranian disinformation - if it's not, it is yet another new low for the Biden/Harris Administration.

NEWS
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. sought a meeting last week with Democratic nominee Kamala Harris to discuss the possibility of serving in her administration, perhaps as a Cabinet secretary, if he throws his support behind her campaign and she wins.
Harris and her advisers have not responded with an offer to meet or shown interest in the proposal.

She nailed it. That instead of taking questions from the Commie presstitutes, all conservatives should start each interview by throwing their past lies in their teeth, and demanding THEY explain their lying records.
That is exactly what we need. And the spirit should be that of a bulldog: don't let go until the enemy is strangled. (I've never forgotten that chapter of White Fang.) She said Vance did it partly on this past round of Sunday shows, but it should go further.
Now to the content.
Posted by: Eeyore at August 14, 2024 10:15 PM (1bNHn)
Though Bush got some of the attention herself, given her screaming about how she was going to take AIPAC down, most of the focus was on her unsavory (well, more unsavory) associates, including a pro-Palestinian activist who said Bush's opponent had let himself be enslaved by Jews, and who tweeted "I tried to befriend a Jew once. Worst idea ever."
They also highlighted the president of the STL board of aldermen, who thinks that the Jewish lobby was behind the closing of a local paper.
Would've been nice if the average voter had heard anything--at all--about this before the election.

Speaking of lame ducks, I saw something kind of sad today. Went to Red Deer for a doctor appointment, and coming round the off ramp, saw a dead Canada goose lying crumpled on the shoulder of the road, with a half-dozen quite live ones standing watch over it.
The good news: the lump the surgeon cut out of my throat 2 weeks ago was not cancer, but a wart. Bad news? It may eventually regrow, but will not become cancer. No restriction upon my activities.

"Allegedly, the American delegation presented a list with the names of ten Mossad agents within Iran whom the Americans believed were involved in the assassination, directly or indirectly."
I saw this story, and while I think this administration has the mendacity to do this, I also think it’s idiotic to imagine that the Israelis would ever let the US have access to this level of info. The CIA isn’t good enough to get this out of Mossad on their own.
But what I like to imagine is that the story IS true, and that the first name on the list is Eli Copter.

Not one NFL, NBA, or NCAA basketball or football coach would put a DEI hire like that short, fat, weak Secret Service agent on the field. That is because they are trying to win a GAME.
However, most Democrats want to put DEI hires in life-critical jobs like SS, the military, air traffic controllers, fire chiefs, etc.
The average Democrat is dumber than the dumbest football coach!

I'm no expert and I haven't played the game in years, but:
The Borderlands universe is a hugely commercial / oppressively corporate world where every tiny thing is expensive but pretty much cheap throwaway crap, and there are ads and commercial control of almost all elements of society. IIRC the corporations have armies.
People are wondering if the Borderlands movie was made the way it was intentionally as a huge and very clever self-referencing product. Which would not be a terrible idea for the studio to start pushing.

What's the diff between Mossad and our CIA anyway?
Both are completely amoral, of course. But…
Mossad are serious and dangerous people who know this is a real war. CIA are mainly Ivy League dilettantes who are good at languages and transcribe local newspapers to pretend they’re doing something useful, while they plot against their own government.

If you listen very, very, very carefully, you can hear soft, but decidedly rapturous squeals from each piece of luggage when it emerges on the belt from the realm of Baggage Transport Hell. Usually, however, the thumping, clunking, and loud thrumming of the conveyor belt drowns out their joyful paeans to freedom. But they do happen, nonetheless.

“If that was ever the path he was to take, I think that would be tremendous,” Harbaugh told USA TODAY. “He’d be a tremendous coach, if that’s the path he chose.”
During an interview Harbaugh said shortly after he returned to the NFL in January, he talked to Kaepernick about joining the Chargers in a non-playing capacity. Yet in the months since, there’s been no movement on the possibility.
“Yeah, we talked a little bit about it,” Harbaugh said. “He’s considering it."
Harbaugh indicated that Kaepernick’s inglorious exit from the NFL – for which the league should be ashamed of – wouldn’t be an issue for him if the quarterback opted to return in a coaching capacity. The Chargers coach is keenly aware of Kaepernick's stature as a civil rights activist and the respect earned with a large swath of society.
“I see him as a hero,” Harbaugh said. “Heroes get no days off. And he’s being a hero right now and he’s not getting any days off. It’s not for me to choose what path he takes. That’s his decision.”

Had a buddy with several ponds on his property. When the geese start flying into the yard, his border collie lies flat on the floor at the glass storm door.
When he opens the door, the dog is off like a shot.
When he comes back, he is swelled with pride for herding the "bad sheep" off of the property!

4) Liechtenstein. Because they already hold that position anyway. From what I gather, his serene highness Prince Hans -Adam II, Fürst von und zu Liechtenstein, is an amiable sort of monarch, with a very hands-off approach to wielding his powers.
A telling point - during the most recent time that Liechtenstein sent troops off to battle, in 1866, a company of 80 men were dispatched to act in support of Austria. They returned home unscathed with 81 men. The 81st guy was someone they encountered and befriended, and he came back to Liechtenstein with them. It kinda says something when a foreign force invades your territory and you find them so likable that you pull up stakes and march along with them. Their national anthem Oben am jungen Rhein, is pretty awesome too.

Well thank god she didn't give me pair of those. lol
This reminds of a funny story. One thing they gave me was some kind of cologne, and why you give that to a 10 year old kid was a mystery. Anyway, it was a brown glass bottle shaped like a horse, and there was a shiny gold cowboy that sat on top of the horse. There was a hole in the bottom of the cowboy's butt that fit over the cap of the horse bottle. One 4th of July me and my brother were looking for things to blow up with firecrackers. I looked at the horse and thought hmm, I'm gonna blow up that cowboy. I popped off the cowboy and inside the hole was yet another hole that was smaller and deeper that fit a firecracker perfectly. Oh this is perfect. We stuck a firecracker in and lit it. Well it was pretty tough plastic, so it didn't grenade, but it shot about 10 feet up. Sooo, the rest of the afternoon was spent launching our cowboy rocket. lol

Rotten Tomatoes has now become an excellent screening tool for new movies.
Any movie with a high Tomatometer (critics score), and a low audience score is guaranteed to be terrible movie to any Moron.
The critics love woke shit, just for being woke.
For example, Star Wars: The Acolyte is 78% on the critics score and 18% on the audience score.
A movie with a low critic score and a high audience score is very likely to be a Moron romp flick.

News: Harris to propose “federal ban on corporate price-gouging” on groceries and “impose stiff penalties in the food industry,” campaign announces.
Harris will propose, what her campaign bills as “the first-ever federal ban on price gouging on food and groceries—setting clear rules of the road to make clear that big corporations can’t unfairly exploit consumers to run up excessive corporate profits on food and groceries.”
The campaign singles out the “highly consolidated” meat-packing industry, noting how just four meat processors control the market and arguing “the lack of competition gives these middlemen the power to drive down earnings for farmers while driving up prices for consumers.”

AOP, I think the 3-wire sensor works this way. Two wires are DC power and ground (what voltage, 12V, or maybe 5V for the newer systems driven off the computer), and the third wire is the return that sends a signal based on speed.
What that signal is, I don't know. Is it pulses. Maybe for the older units.
Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at August 15, 2024 12:15 AM (w6EFb)
It may be the 2 terminal magnetic pickup just doesn't have the voltage per pulse to be seen by the 3-wire unit.

I have the installation instructions, dated 8/80. I apparently have the kit #58-020080-000, consisting of the programmable (by DIP switches) instrument head with odometer, and the sending unit, on about 25 feet of 3-wire flat cable. A 5-pin plug fits a socket on the back of the head unit, and has a gray wire to +12v power, a wht/blk wire to ground, and red, black, and green wires to sender.
I have an idea: connect the sending unit to the instrument head, and spin it with a portable drill, while metering the output. If red and black are power to the sender, and green the output, it should be possible to determine that, too.

I saw those earlier today, while searching for Engler. Thing is, there is no rotary source to drive one. The transmission, six speed Spicer, has (presumably) a toothed wheel on its output shaft. There is a magnetic pickup screwed into the baring retainer. Tip of pickup is magnetized, and has a steel center in the middle of a steel ring, with a Bakelite ring separating them, like a bullseye.

Well, I have the instrument head, already installed in the dash, and its associated sending unit. So I will simply connect them up as instructed by the instructions, and spin the sender, and see if the head registers. If it does, fine, that means both parts work. If not, one or both parts are faulty, and I may as well discard. You can buy GPS-based speedometers now for not a lot of money.
Curiously, the OEM speedometer in the Flxible Clipper was also electric; a massive instrument head weighing about 2 pounds, and a sender I have not seen. Might be based on selsyn motors.

Yes, Sheep's Head is the one. Like a good number of German card games, it originated in Bavaria, and is still fairly big among the older population in Deutschland proper. Es macht Spaß, as the Teutons like to say.

Thanks. I remember looking at some of the cheaper options a couple years ago. I'm going to look over that again. I remember some of those for laptops as AOP mentioned. Basically the input circuitry and logic, with software on the laptop to display.
They may even make 'em for smart phones too, now, although I think I'd prefer a laptop display.

There is an O'scope dongle for laptops. It's an ongoing project called Thunderscope, and can display up to 4 traces. I'm thinking, though, that one could simply load the Audacity audio program (freeware) onto a laptop, and feed the signal under examination into the audio line-in port of the laptop. Varying the time-base, one could get a clue about waveform and amplitude.

Been PC scopes for some years now. Some folks at my (former) workplace used them. Some had pretty fast sample times (analog & digital). Don't remember who made them. I have an old broken down HP 250MHz-ish scope somewhere at home...

What I need now, well want now is a tripod mount for the stupid phone camera.
Fate smiled on me last night and the clouds cleared well to see the Mars-Jupiter conjunction. Quite a beautiful sight with the other objects nearby.
I could've gotten some very nice pictures, but I couldn't hold the damned camera still for longer exposure times. 1/2s was the longest I could go, braced up against and outside wall tight as I manage.
Got some shameful shots I wouldn't show anybody with some bright dots. You can zoom on the brighest dot and see it's actually two dots, one red and one white. :-)

Fate did indeed smile on me early yesterday morning. During that, Orion had just come up, sideways low on the horizon. For my latitude here, the storied heliacal rising of Sirius should be about 8/12 or 8/13, under ideal conditions.
Heavy clouds moved in low over the eastern horizon around 5:30. But I went out again, at 6:08AM, and looked at the right spot. Amazingly, a little hole opened up in the clouds, just a few degrees wide. And there was Sirius, twinkling. It lasted about 5 seconds. It was about, per Stellarium, 7 degrees above the horizon and pretty bright twilight.
So, I saw it. If I were an ancient Egyptian, I guess I'd be really excited.

+++++++++++++++++
This is why I think Trump should have blown off that whole trial to begin with. Just never even showed up for a single day in court and continued to campaign around the country. Let the silly mock trial go on without him, getting faker and hollower by the day as it went on with the defendant missing via blowing off the bench warrant. By the time the sentencing comes around, it would be hollower and more laughable than ever.
Now the big day will be huge, and if Trump blows it off, it will look like a massive act of cowardice and lawlessness. If he shows up, what are the chances he'll be escorted out in cuffs and taken straight to prison?

Speaking of Andy Griffith, it saddened me to find out he was nothing like Andy Taylor, or even Matlock. He was Big Asshole, even a Big Dick.
Years ago, one of my mother's friends was at some place in NC, some hotel to-do place. Andy Griffith was there. She decided to go up and speak to him, "Why hello, Mr. Griffith, it's such a pleasure to meet you!"
His response was basically, "Buzz off and go fuck yourself". When she first told that, I thought well maybe he was just having a bad day, maybe being bothered by a bunch of fans and tourists and just got enough of it.
Nope, I later learned that was just who he was. Big Asshole.
