Chinese Counterfeit Panda Ring Cafe

The Carina Nebula, just 7500 short lightyears away

That must be fake, right? It totally looks like a Templar charging into battle.

Oh well, I posted it, it's too late to do anything about it now.

There's no such thing as Social Contagion you guys.

Grooming a tiger, removing its winter coat.

Construction snake, a videogame created by Elroy Patashnik.

Dogs meet the baby.

Introducing the baby to the horses.

Baby shows off her new dress.

Naughty baby has her "Aren't I a little stinker?" face on lock.

Camels having a drink.

Badass table-making.

Wedding dance.

Below: A Chinese zoo had to admit one of its "pandas" was really just a dog painted black and white when it began panting. And barking.


Please don't repost that. As the Democrat Op of 2019-2020 tells us, any negative news about the Democrat Donor Nation of China puts Asian lives in danger, Bigots.

Whoops, looks like that got Community Noted.

54 Giant penguins are notoriously ravenous and short lived. During their short existence, they emit more carbon by way of their mephitic excretions than three 747s flying around the world three times. This is roughly equivalent to a mound of excrement 40 feet high and 300 feet in diameter. Inside this "kill zone"' no creature can survive, save the giant penguin, who will soon itself expire from the corrosive funk arising from the penguin generated volcano of doom.

61 Woman Calls 911: "I Have a Boa Constrictor Stuck to My Face"
A woman in Ohio has been saved by firefighters after making a frantic 911 emergency call to explain she was being attacked by a boa constrictor.

The Sheffield Lake resident was the owner of 10 other snakes, and had rescued the 1.7-metre-long (5.5 foot) boa just the day before the attack – but that act of kindness was not reciprocated when the snake suddenly turned on her.

It's not known what exactly prompted the attack to take place last Thursday, but the breathless (and frankly distressing) emergency call made by the woman highlights how terrifying the ordeal must have been.

Here's another image of the Carina Nebula, taken by Hubble (I think):

https://tinyurl.com/24ewlaw3

You can see the knight on the horse there too.

All these telescopes can capture images in wavelengths the human eye can't see. They represent these with "false color". If you looked at these through a telescope with the naked eye, you wouldn't see much of this. They use false color to represent the wavelengths you can't see, and depending on which ones they enhance and which they don't, you get all sorts of images.

For example, look up the thousand yard model of the solar system. I'll just do this a little bit from memory, so it may not be exactly right.

Start out with a beach ball and plop that down. Take a peppercorn and pace out 26 yards and put that down. That's the Erf. Take a walnut and put that down 134 yards from the beach ball. That's Jupiter.

Now, take a grain of sand and put it 1000 yards from the beach ball. That's Pluto.

In the full model, you'd put various little things out to represent all the planets and even the "plutinos" way out there recently discovered.

Now, how big is the Milky Way compared to that. Well, let the Milky Way's spiral pinwheel be the size of the continental US. Image that pinwheel superimposed on the top of a map of the US.

That's the diameter. Don't hold me too this, but I think the thickness of the main disk would be +/- 10 miles on that scale. That is the disk is 10 miles above sea level and 10 miles below.

Now, how big is that thousand yard model of the solar system in that? ....

How big is the solar system in that? Take a quarter and plop it on the ground somewhere in Tennessee.

Besides orbiting around the center (it takes about 250 million years for the sun to make one circuit) the sun also bobs up and down in the disk, perpendicular to the plane. That has it's own period, and I forget. But right now, we're on the upward leg of the z-axis.

So, our quarter in Tennessee would have to be up the air somewhere above.

121 So again appears the beloved Cafe thread, carefully curated by Herr Ace. Commander Star Sprinkle curls beside me, purring happily as we enjoy the selections on offer. Both she and I find the grooming of the tiger a most diverting bit of merriment. For Herr Tiger, there is the combined appeal of skritches and the removal of excess fur. The wedding dance awakens Werner's memory of the early 90s, specifically, I think, 1992.

The youngster M. Night Shyamalan sought out Werner to take on the role of Best Man for his upcoming nuptials. This was, of course, before The Sixth Sense, and apart from an Indy film, he only had a rom-com feature with Dennis Leary under his belt. I know what you are thinking, but all auteurs must start somewhere, and sometimes it will involve history's greatest monsters, Dennis Leary.

Vern, (even the young do this) the youngster pleaded, you've got the tools and talents to pull this together. That is most flattering, M (ja, Werner sometimes gives as good as he gets), but Werner is a Lutheran, and you, for that matter, have converted to Christianity and are agnostic-curious adjacent.

SCOOP: Kamala Harris downgrades venue for her Georgia event today TWICE due to low attendance

Kamala is having some type of event at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Center in Atlanta, Georgia today.

I know someone who is doing the setup for the event and they have told me that the @KamalaHarris campaign has now downgraded the space for the event TWICE, from the stadium, to the auditorium, and now to the ball room because Kamala Harris’s campaign can’t get enough people to attend her event in Georgia 6 weeks out from the general election.

The ball room has a max capacity of 650 people.

I have asked the source who is a part of setting the venue up to send photos.

They tell me that Kamala’s campaign has been very disrespectful to the staff at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Center in Atlanta, Georgia and they have been screaming demands at the union members who are setting up the venue.

My source is a union member who regrets that the IATSA @IATSE Union in Georgia has endorsed Kamala Harris. They tell me union members inside have been verbally abused throughout the entire setup process for the Kamala Harris event.

I was looking at the vertical bobbing up and down of the sun. The error bars on these various measurements are big, but we are on the upswing, passed through the plane a while back and are ascending.

The period is ~60 million years (wide error bars on that), and right now we're maybe 20 parsecs (60 light years) above the plane. The peak will be about 100 parsecs or 300 light years before it turns and starts descending.

The uncertainties there are huge, though.

149 M, I told the lad, Werner will do the best that a Lutheran Kraut can do. First must I know, however, if there is to be a shocking twist at the conclusion of the service. Shall it be that your bride is revealed to be a Mynah bird? Can it be that Werner realizes that he has been dead all along? For then would Werner be pissed off to a medieval degree, seen only in Quentin Tarantino films or Rachel Ray productions. M. Knight was scribbling something down in a notebook entitled "What a Twist," but he re-assured me that all would be well.

Assembling an authentic Indian wedding is an arduous matter, including selecting a majestic Baraat Ghodi, the snow-white horse that the groom rides into the service. This time there would be two, because the bride can elect to ride a Ghodi as well. All the traditional garb - Werner did not realize there were so many Saris in the world, and most of them were directed into the ceremony.

Thanks be to Gott that neither horse elected to relieve themselves during the wedding service. I had tasked Kinski with preventing this, and for once the beast succeeded. Alas, one final post.

Picked up a pork shoulder to smoke and a chicken to rotisserie for some friends coming over tomorrow. Got them dry rubbed and brining, respectively. Figured out the hard way i got to upgrade all my servers to the same minor version and then completely demolish and re-establish the system for external trend logging to make it all work again. Made solid progress on teaching the pooch not to holler at the deer passing by in the back forty. Had some burgers and a half decent bottle of marlborough sauv blanc.....

209 The wedding went well, and all of us were misty-eyed when the cleric announced I know pronounce you M. Night Shyamalan and wife. Then was much cheering and merriment. The newlyweds readied to perform their long practiced wedding dance, and then it happened. The door was kicked open, revealing the hated visage of Wilford Brimley. Ain't no Hindi wedding taking place in Wilford's town. Has the diabeetus scrambled your brains, I inquired. Did it say, yo, abomination of a thing that should not be, let's gatecrash M. Night's wedding. Not on Werner's watch, glucose phobe. CQB hand-to-hand was required, as I had left my revolver in my other suit. We squared off as the congregants looked on in fear. I landed a few good ones, sending his dentures to the floor

Brimley, however, fought dirty. Feigning weakness, he left himself open for an uppercut, and when Werner attempted this, he was blocked and received a liver punch, followed by a rabbit punch and a hard jab to the kidney. Werner was on the floor and imagining telling others in the Afterlife that Mr. Diabeetus had ended my life. Sneering, Brimley moved in, saying Kraut, you fixin' to check out. Ach, one more post.

Another sort of interesting thing is relative speeds. The earth is moving at an orbital speed of 66,000 mph relative to the sun.

The sun's speed around the galactic center is about 1/2 million miles per hour. Locally, in our own stellar neighborhood, the sun is moving at about 44,000 mph toward Vega roughly.

But the Milky Way and the Local Group are moving about 1.3 million mph relative to the CMB defined co-moving frame towards a YUGE gravitational structure called the Great Attractor.

264 Wow, sounds high. Is Pork finally going way up? Pork has been relatively mostly unaffected by inflation, I thought.

btw, what are mennonites like? Weirder than Amish?
Posted by: Soothsayer: at September 20, 2024 08:42 PM (DzSmn)

I think they're just high because their stuff is good. High demand, low supply, amazing quality, it's gonna be spendy.

I honestly can't tell the difference. As far as i can tell, Amish sound like South Africans and Mennonites sound like South Carolinians. Our maybe the other way around. I don't know. They're all in bonnets. And their meat and produce is worth handing over a piece of plastic and not listening to the number they say.

266 There is a theory that we may actually be in a black hole.
Posted by: Sebastian Melmoth at September 20, 2024 08:35 PM (jNAzB)

I read an article some years ago, someone arguing the concept of the "black hole," is very misleading, and there may not be a thing that is a black hole. The claim was the concept was mostly about mathematical equations that showed a lack of something measurable, when there should have been something.

So they really don't what it is, or what's causing it. Then that photo was released a few years ago, and nobody really knows what that is either.

I don't believe anything anymore. If scientists tell me there's a giant blintz in a faraway galaxy, and it farts to the Star Spangled Banner, I'll just shrug and say "yeah, whatever," the same as I do for most everything they say these days.

285 Werner could not pull himself to arise or even roll aside. Brimley prepared to stomp my cranium into eternal oblivion. Then came a voice. Hey, four-eyed walrus moustache! He turned to see who dared to speak so. Before he could answer, the same voice told him Most un-Homey of all Homies, you ain't gonna curb-stomp my man. Je, I muttered to Brimley, Werner has a plus--one.

Resplendent in her Sari, Ayn Rand strolled up to Wilford. Talk to the hand, bitch, she instructed him, hammering him with a shot to the chin while he gazed at her up-helt left. What followed was carnage, most beautiful to behold. A savage kick shattered Brimley's knee, multiple Edenborough hellos reduced his visage to a travesty of anything human, expertly-delivered right and left hooks ensured that he would drink from a straw for quite some time, and a final Tae Kwon Do spinning kick launched the vicious bigot off his heels and left him unconscious. Ayn carefully pulled me to a standing position and helped me from the room. Yo, Mo-Fos, she said, dance like you mean it. We gots to see a doctor for my Shorty. Don't nobody call no Popos, or else Ayn gonna be angry. Good times, ja, good times.

From what I've seen it's like food trucks. That burger is good, but you don't have to pay HVAC or cleaning bills, or repaint the parking lot, or pay water bills. Why is your food as or more expensive as a sit-down restaurant?

But the eggs will almost certainly be better quality. That said, they will have a more robust flavor and lots of people have trouble getting used to that after decades of eating factory eggs.

I make a point to give a bunch of ours away every couple of weeks to the older folks around us. They're very appreciative now that they're $5 / dozen.

People are scared, they are hurting, sometimes acutely. So much shit is going on. You have the patient, yes, but that's oftentimes the easiest person to deal with. Family, partners, observers, well wishers and ne'er do wells are all there. Sometimes law enforcement is there. Sometimes people speak English, sometimes the pretend to, which is worse, and then some don't even try. There's drama and overreacting and screaming and silence. It's not a fun place to be.

But. It's an important place to be. And people trust you to help them.

But some people are just assholes. And most of the time, the nastier they are, the less emergent their issue.

But a bunch of the first team was still around and they wanted it to still be sci fi film. In the end all the parts filmed by both groups got lumped in together and they called it a wrap.

The two big rumors on the Judge-Sheriff shooting thing are the judge was a pedo, having sex with the Sheriff's underage daughter, and the other is this "sex to get out of jail" thing supposedly done by a deputy.

The deputy would use the judge's chambers to make a deal with some poor woman to make the charges go away. There is a lawsuit alleging this going on right now, I saw.

So, was the judge in on it? Was the Sheriff? Or the was the judge not, maybe going to expose it, and the Sheriff makes up the pedo stuff.

Who the hells knows, but there was something really dirty going on. This kind of thing is very personal. There was some really personal hatred going on for the sheriff to just walk in and shoot him like that. Raping his daughter would be one.

411 On this day in 1977, a phrase was born.

Fonzie, clad in leather jacket and cut off jeans, "jumped the shark."

Wow. I remember that episode when it aired. Evel Knievel was a big thing with grade school boys, so....

412 I figure the next Einstein will eventually show up, see something staring out that no one else has yet seen, and finally move forward. But it ain't happened yet.

Most likely but I doubt that it will come close to a comprehensive explanation. We were not meant to grok that.

The second story is not a rumor. It was the deputy bailiff who was doing some of it in the judges chambers and he has already been convicted and sentenced. The sheriff was recently deposed because of allegations he was aware of what was going on and did nothing about it. There was arguing going on before the judge was shot so it wasn't immediately.

416 >>> 382 Any chance that the skeletons that are in Oprah's closet being revealed to the public? Maybe destroying her finally? She's a sanctimonious soulless monster who has done much harm to the general public and culture. I loathe her.

I can't remember where or if I saw it suggested that Oprah was an Epstein 'client' but I definitely remember a creepy ass picture of her and some blond chick sitting on a couch - she's holding the blond's hand while the girl (I'm guessing no older than 21) is looking up at Harvey Weinstein.

Just like homemade WW1 trench-raiding personal weapons. An internet image search will reveal examples.

There's a large homemade billboard we pass when we drive to visit friends in Tennessee. It says something like

"God, please send us someone to discover a cure for cancer."

"I did. You aborted him."

421 Sex to make charges go away is not uncommon.
Killing the judge because he was going to expose it is a stretch.
The judge looks like a freak.
The two incidents may be unrelated.
The town population is 2200.
Seems like many people would know what was going on.

>>That was cold of the FBI.

So the feds are going to out brothers who were on the down low but none of the really connected and on Epsteins list?

Democrats really do hate black people.

425 We move forward to the elections while we clasp stronger onto our faiths yet we raise our vision and our awareness with each passing day.

Maybe about time we ready ourselves to take up positions on the wall.

History is going to remember this time as one of the most Epic as to the 1st Civil War with regards to this Republic's future.

🚨 JUST IN: Georgia must hand-count all paper ballots on election day to line up results with the machine counts, per new decision by the Georgia elections board

Huge

Georgia’s election board will now require a hand count of all ballots on election day to match machine counts

This is historic

We will finally learn the truth about the machines

And Trump could now win Georgia in a blowout!

432 So...on to other things

With regards to the 3 major SoCal fires burning in the mountains in my near neighborhood.

I have watched on various web cams...a vey helpful dousing of rainfall, hail, and actually a sprinkling of snow which should bring an end to the further destruction of these fires.

They are called a "trench knife", though just about any knife with a knuckle duster will get that name.
