The Quotes of The Day


Quote I

“We worked with a good quality sample that allowed us to generate a Y-chromosome profile, and we were lucky enough to obtain a match,” Stephen
Fratpietro of Lakehead’s Paleo-DNA lab


Quote II

“This hotline is nothing more than a page out of the Stasi playbook—encouraging children to spy on their own families,” Michigan state Rep. Angela Rigas


*****


OK I get it. I'm a fisherman. I know the truth can be stretched at times. But this c**k*u**er is a pathological liar besides being a power hungry wannabe dictator. Tampon Timmy is now the fabulist falsifier

Tim Walz Said He Was in Hong Kong During the Tiananmen Square Massacre. He Was Home in Nebraska.
Walz’s claims in 2014 congressional hearing are a tall tale, video and local news reports show

What are the odds that any "moderator" will call out this lying scum sucking worm? Yeah, I know, slim and none.

The North Carolina flooding is just heart wrenching to watch on video or still photos. If you NC Morons can reach out to Ace or any of the Cobs to let us know your status we would pass along.

Do you think Senator Mitch McConnell still gets a hard on when fvcking over the base?

Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) invited a never-Trumper to Senate Republicans’ private weekly lunch on September 17 to argue that Republicans should prioritize defense spending above election integrity.

McConnell’s pitch undermined the House Republican plan to pass a six-month continuing resolution (CR) attached to the SAVE Act – a bill by Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) to eliminate non-citizen voting favored by Donald Trump.

A request from a commenter Fenderbender to repost the following from the September 23, 2024 ONT.

Pass this along to someone on the fence about voting for president in November.

A RACOON PROBLEM CAN EXPLAIN TRUMP'S ATTRACTION
Like many citizens, I've wondered and tried hard to understand why Trump has such a remarkably large and loyal following. It's obvious why he probably should not! I, personally, do not like Trump or his persona. I wish he would just "go away" and spare us the embarrassment of having him show up on TV.

However; it doesn't look like he's about to leave the scene..... I still struggle to understand....

Then a friend sent me this raccoon story. It makes no difference about your political leanings, this is just a good explanation of WHY... (or it's as good as any I can come up with).

Do you really want to know how the majority of American citizens feel? This applies to both Democrats and Republicans; read below, it says it all.

You've been on vacation for two weeks, you come home, and your basement is infested with raccoons. Hundreds of rabid, messy, mean raccoons have overtaken your basement. And they have learned to get to the top floor of your once beautiful, middle class home. You want no them gone immediately. You call the city, 4 different exterminators, but nobody can handle the job.

But there is this one guy that specializes in racoon eradication and he guarantees you to get rid of them. So you hire him. You don't care if the guy smells, you don't care if the guy swears, you don't care if he's an alcoholic, you don't care how many times he's been married, you don't care if he voted for Obama, you don't care if he has a plumber's crack, you don't even care if he's a misogynist. you simply want those raccoons gone! You want your problem fixed! He's the guy. He's the best to solve the problem. Period.

Here's a corollary story for why Trump has such a large following of patriotic American citizens. Yes he's a bit of an ass (maybe a total ass). Yes, he's an egomaniac, an adulterer, a loud-mouth and abusive but we don't care because he makes sense with "Make America Great Again". The country is a mess because politicians totally suck and produce only self-serving rules. The Republicans and Democrats can be two-faced & gutless, and illegals are everywhere. Washington DC is infested with self-serving pests. We want it all fixed!

We don't care that Trump is crude, we don't care that he insults people, we don't care that he once was friendly with Hillary, we don't care that he has changed positions, we don't care that he's been married 3 times, we don't care that he fights with Megyn Kelly and Rosie O'Donnell, we don't care that he doesn't know the name of some Muslim terrorist. Also, we don't care if the guy has bad hair. This country is weak in resolve and bankrupt. Our enemies are making fun of us, we are being invaded by illegals (probably even terrorists), we are becoming a nation of victims where every Tom, Ricardo, and Hasid is a special group with special rights to a point where we don't even recognize the country we were born and raised in; "AND WE JUST WANT IT FIXED"!!!

And Trump is the only guy who seems to understand what the people want. We're sick of politicians, sick of the Democratic Party, sick of the Republican Party, sick of identity politics with self-identified special groups, sick of trying to guess the preferred pronoun and sick of illegals. We just want this thing fixed!!!!

Trump may not be a saint (he's definitely NOT), but he doesn't have lobbyist money holding him and he doesn't have political correctness restraining him. All you know is that he has been very successful, is a good negotiator, and he has built a lot of things. He's also not a politician.......he's not a cowardly politician......

And he says he'll fix it. And, we believe him because he is too much of an egotist to be proven wrong or looked at and called a liar.

We just want those raccoons gone, out of our house, NOW!!!!

The raccoons have got to go!!!!

*****

You don't have to watch tomorrow's VP Debate between JD Vance vs Tampon Timmy & ABC personnel. You can celebrate the 100th birthday of about the 5th worst president of all times.

It turns out that Carter, who hits 100 on Tuesday, still had a lot more to offer. A year after the book’s release, he would receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom. He became a Pulitzer Prize finalist, picked up three Grammy Awards and, in 2002, claimed the Nobel Peace Prize. A Navy submarine and a fish species — the bluegrass darter, with the scientific name “Etheostoma jimmycarter” — have been named in his honor.

And now the 39th president, who was in office from 1977 to 1981, is set to be the first former commander in chief to reach the century mark.

Right?
Better to hang rustic plaques on your walls that say things like "HOME," "EAT" and "LIVE, LAUGH, LOVE."

More seriously, it's just a difference of how the home is used/perceived. I would assume people who hire her are decorating their homes for others to see (entertaining, etc.) vs. a lot of us use our home as a refuge and find family pictures comforting. Whatever.

83 Sort of expected I guess, but the cretinous level of Brit military brass is really something these days. Of course little evidence, and this goes back at least 20 years, that US brass is anything other than a collection of sub-mediocrities.

But the Brits have been beclowning themselves even more than the American ones, for example on their analyses of Ukraine. Hilariously wrong, and obviously so from the start.

87 Hilarious video - Hezbollah decided that it had to put out some statement, so Hezbollah deputy leader Sheikh Naim Qassem, on video announced that a new leader would be named soon, and that Hezbollah would resist an Israeli invasion.

The most striking thing about the video is how much Qassem is sweating on camera - at one point, he stops and mops his brow with a handkerchief.

Why so nervous, Naim?

OK - I'm calling it - Tampon Timmy is a psychopath.

I have been unfortunate enough to have been closely associated with two psychopaths - one personal, one work-related, and what they shared in common was that they enormously enjoyed lying, to the point that they would happily tell lies when the truth would suffice. It's really fun to tell bald-faced lies and watch the rubes believe it.

Nobody is going to lie as much as Tampon Timmy unless he massively enjoys it.

Unsurprisingly, psychopathy is common among politicians.

I don't understand why he would claim this?
Is he a congenital liar?

I once worked with one - not a serial exaggerator or sometime-fibber, but a guy who lied all the time, as easily as one breathes. There was a running joke, when he denied saying something he had clearly said just days, hours earlier, that it must've been his evil twin "Jeff" who said it. He thought this was hysterical, he had NO shame or guilt about lying, it was simply how he operated. I am starting to wonder if Walz is like that. . .

Siouxie Sioux and/or Kate Bush. Both were transformational for their genre, and had a greater impact on music following. Stevie Nicks had the benefit of being in a band with far better musicians.

carly simon, Joni Mitchell and Carole King were all better and more prolific writers, and had a bigger slew of hits. They were all adult contemporary but so was stevie Nicks.

That's the thing with is cringe tweets -- Trump has always enjoyed needling other celebrities when they say or do dumb things. He'd do it for self-entertainment, just seemed to get a kick out of discomforting these blowhards. He so annoyed Obama with barbs about his missing birth certificate that he produced it (yeah, it was questionable, but he really, really got under TFG's skin).

Yes, this is one of the things that made Trump appealing, he DIDN'T give Hillary 'all due respect', completely opted out of that DC game or pretending she and her hubby hadn't done all that awful stuff.

Hanssen was recalled yet again to Washington, D.C., in 1987. He was tasked with studying all known and rumored penetrations of the FBI to find the man who had betrayed Martynov and Motorin; this meant, in effect, that he was charged with searching for himself. Hanssen ensured that he did not reveal himself with his study, but in addition, he gave the entire study—including the list of all Soviets who had contacted the FBI about FBI moles—to the KGB in 1988.[29] That same year, Hanssen, according to a government report, committed a "serious security breach" by revealing secret information to a Soviet defector during a debriefing. The agents working for him reported this breach to a supervisor, but no action was taken.[3]

320 Tina Turner. Patti Smith. Grace Slick. They're all better singers than Nicks (and there are many more, including my relatively tone-deaf mother).

If you want to get into just commercial success? There also many more. Most of whom were also better than her. For instance, Joan Jett was a total hack. Still a better singer. Not as many hits. But bigger ones.

But as far as talent, influence, and moneymaking? Well, there's Aretha Franklin, for one. She could eat four whole fried chickens and a coke, then shit out a better singer than Nicks.

344 About Catlin Clark and the WNBA...

With the Fever out of playoff contention due in part to opposing players commiting heinous fouls while the "refs" looked the other way.

I have come to the conclusion that this is NOT about women's basketball.

Darkly, it is about an effort by a supremely talented player who has risen above the standard mediocre play and in ONE season has managed to put this hodge-podge league on notice and in doing so, she has become a big target because of it.

The reality is that she "an individual talent" will not be tolerated by the group think, socialist/Marxist construct that is the WNBA. The only talents there before her arrival were Welfare Queens and Hood Rats which fit the WNBA model just fine. That is because almost all of them would dip on being an American when told to do so.

Perhaps they should have been better prepared. But I understand why they weren't. This is practically unheard of in the Blue Ridge.

The forecasts said that this storm would rip through to the West for one thing - my town was on the incorrect predicted course. They were surprised by it veering off course.

I'm glad it didn't hit my home. But I sort of wish it had. We've had a worse history of flooding here, and so we have better flood control here (TVA waterworks). I think the destruction and death would have been less here.

I've wondered for the last couple of years if we are not affecting the environment by the WAY we use energy. We make it in the country (Hydro, Coal, Gas, even solar) then use transmission lines to ship it to large cities to use.

Now, as a LOT of electricity puts off waste heat... are we not essentially moving energy, including heat, into concentrated areas, that then RETAIN that heat (concrete and such)... how can that NOT affect weather patterns?

This whole discussion is stupid but very ONT. if you arbitrarily exclude Motown from “rock” then there are a lot of groups that don’t make the cut. What is Rock and Roll, if not popular contemporary music? That includes Taylor and Madonna no matter how loathsome. “Shanghai Surprise” and “borderline” Madonna was cute and fun and popular.

Here is a question: the concept of the space elevator is being argued about, it is a cable that has one end rooted in the bedrock and the other on a stone in Low Earth Orbit, that you can climb up to get to orbit. I am told that angular momentum will cause it to deform so it can't work.

My question is different, wouldn't the cable cut across a pretty active magnetic field of the Earth interacting with the solar wind and field? And wouldn't it create a current that could be tapped for "free" energy?

455 Since no one asked, the entropion (lower eyelid) surgery went smoothly this morning. Was m/l awake while they worked on me - a little weird, but painless. Sore after the anesthesia wore off, and looks a bit like a black eye, but I already can tell that it worked - the lower lid no longer curls inward, scratching my eyeball with the lashes.

A year ago, I delayed having this done because I was wary of surgery. After major bowel surgeries in October and April, this seemed almost trivial. Before, the whole thing of prep & surgery & recovery might have freaked me out a bit, but it was all familiar routine today. And no ten-day hospital stay this time; in and out in about two & 1/2 hours.

Just one more little scar to add to my lifetime collection. Altogether, I'm glad to be alive in this century. Never mind Dr McCoy's disdain for "jabbing people with needles and sewing them up like cloth."

I believe the concept for the space elevator has the "hub" in geostationary orbit above a point on the Equator. So the cable is some 23,000 miles long. And there is a counterweight on the end of another cable, another 23,000 miles out. But the whole shebang rotates with the Earth, so its movement would not cut any magnetic field lines.

It's a cultural thing, mostly. Germans and others do it to. They speak/sing through their 'mask'. It's allowing the sound to resonate through the hollow sinus bones in the head as one vocalizes. As one does this it resonates through the body but mostly it's the head. Using the whole head as a resonator instead of sound coming directly from the vocal cords out of the mouth makes a big difference.

476 My question is different, wouldn't the cable cut across a pretty active magnetic field of the Earth interacting with the solar wind and field? And wouldn't it create a current that could be tapped for "free" energy?
Posted by: Kindltot

I believe the concept for the space elevator has the "hub" in geostationary orbit above a point on the Equator. So the cable is some 23,000 miles long. But the whole shebang rotates with the Earth, so its movement would not cut any magnetic field lines. Perturbations in the field, i.e. magnetic storms might induce currents, I suppose.
Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon


Correct. Earth's magnetic field doesn't move (much), which is why a compass always points north. A stationary wire in a static field doesn't have a current induced in it; either the field or the wire have to move. And thermodynamics is a heartless bitch, so the energy you spend to move the wire has to be greater than the electrical energy you'd gain from moving it.

If this could work--if earth's spin and the field's were different--it would deorbit the satellite because both the earth and the satellite would slow down to make electricity. Though only one would be measurably slower.

I have been told that, but the Earth's field is not static, it fluctuates under the influence of the Solar field and solar wind.
One of the shuttle launches had an experimental rig that set out a kilometer of cable with a mass at the end to cut the magnetic field, and it burnt through due to excessive current. No idea if it was a thick wire or not.

In 2021 a full 40% of Police jurisdictions did not report crimes to the Federal Database. Last Year New York, LA, San Fran, Chicago, and many others did not report because reporting is just 'suggested' and it costs time and money to compile all the data TO report.

We have no reliable data on crime, especially when it concerns racial categories, because many of the inner cities where a lot of minorities live, no longer report to the database at all.

All of us in the Horde should have a generator, and a supply of fuel. Extended power failures are going to become more frequent, not because of climate change, but because of stupid shit being done in a misguided effort to arrest climate change. Apparently the whole Alberta grid was less than 5 minutes short of having major generating stations and major loads all tripping off line because the frequency was falling below 60 Hz for too long. A result of wind turbines not working, or working too much.

A whole house generator is far more expensive than a portable and you'll probably have a much longer wait, especially now buuut, nice to have the automatic failover say, if the power goes out quietly in the middle of the night.
If you get a portable you can get an outside plug installed that lets you switch over to the generator much more easily - no extension codes out a window or whatever.

One rude thing I learned about generators and their output.
What they are rated at is what they do. It's not like a gasser where you can force a little more. It's got a red line, you cross it and it drops out.

On those compressors rate it at the start up amps not the running amps. That's the extent of my knowledge. Oh, my well pump had a two wire system not a three wire pump. OK that means it took three time the amperage not double that a three wire would take.
Good luck.

Duel fuel, gas/propane is the way to go. Power output is slightly lower on propane but your generator should be sized to your needs so it isn't running at the upper end of load capacity for extended periods.

For me, a whole-house generator is overkill. I don't need a lot electricity. Water heater and range are gas, so is hot-water heating system. The only electric it needs is a few watts for the control transformers, and about a hundred watts for the circulating pump.

I have a 3500 watt ancient Coleman genset in the garage, powered by an 8 HP Briggs and Stratton engine. I have a "death cord" made up to plug it into the welder outlet in my garage. In the event of a power failure that looks like it might be lengthy, I pull the main switch at my pole, and lock it out. Then drag the generator out onto the concrete apron outside the garage door, and plug it into the welder outlet. Fire up the generator, and throw the breaker...

588 I can buy a solid, skid mounted, water cooled, 3 cyl diesel generator for under $10k, easy.

Any of your local welders can build the elevated frame, and many will have the means to hoist the genny up onto the thing, when ready. Fuel tank listings show them already ON the frames, ready to deliver.

Build a simple frame shack/roof to cover the genny. Even if the storm strips the frame, it'll be shielded from weather, as it waits.

Not only will diesel give a higher energy density. You'll find it FAR EASIER to source a refill, when you need it the most.

Those are great for GASOLINE.

There is a reason that yacht owners with +1,000 fuel on board, contract the sweetener services, every year.

Those owners could afford Sta-Bil and Seafoam by the tanker load, too.

The centrifugal/filtration sweetener machines, PURGE the impurities. Positively, absolutely and completely.

If you are in the market for something like that, check the big industrial auctioneers, like Ritchie Brothers for gensets and/or lighting towers used in construction and oilfield work. I was on quite a few wellsites where the shacks got their power from a little light-tower trailer.

Just an example of the stuff on auction.

That'll put you into 4 cyl diesel arena. Go with 500 gal. tank, and use it for Farm & Ranch operations, otherwise.

Me, I can do 12kw on a 3 cyl. Likey go 150 gal. tank, a common size .

Manual transfer all the way, too. One good lightning strike puts paid to the circuit boards in the automatic ones.

607 Well, I got the dash back together on the El Camino, and mostly it works. Lost the heater fan, somehow. Might have blown a fuse. And I installed a little accessory 3-gauge panel below the radio, with direct-reading oil pressure and temperature gauges, and a voltmeter, and hooked up their illumination, too. Have yet to install the bushing for the temp gauge, but the capillary tube is strung out there.

And while futzing with the instrument lights, I discovered that the dimmer rheostat incorporated into the headlight switch was NFG. And doggone it! I had an identical switch, with good rheostat, in my stock. Lamps can dim now.

608 Stevie wrote a lot more hits. Maybe more than any other female rocker.

I may get attacked for this, but did she ever play any instrument? Did she "write" the hits, or just have some lyrics ideas while Buckingham, Petty, Hensley or whoever came up with the sound and hook for her?
Of.course, the real lucky organizer was Mick Fleetwood, who became part of.the upper crust of rock by owning the band and playing totally nondescript drums..The genius move was hiring Buckingham from obscurity

FAST IDLE will be at least +750 rpm more. It's an Idle against LOAD. Whole house? 1.5 to 2 gal per hour.

The combo of Tractor Engine to PTO genny, is NOT set up for economy. It's set up to run field equipment without the genny bogging down when the 220 v. Lincoln Doghouse Welder kicks in.

A skid mounted, water cooled genny, is basically a maritime, yacht generator with a radiator to cool it, vs. seawater from under the hull.

Yacht Captains are notoriously jealous of anything that burns an ounce more of diesel, than absolutely necessary.

Fuel = Range, after all.

622 Years! Ago I read about a woman who inherited her father’s bicycle generator business. Out in green San Francisco iirc.

She mentioned that any idiot can build one. The high cost is getting a clean signal so you don’t burn out your appliances.

No idea if she is still in business.

Cost of that Clean Signal being about + 1/3 the base fuel burn for the dirty signal, there.

629 Years ago, when my cousin was running part of the show at GSP NWS, he gave me a tour of their Doppler radar facility. Just been built. Now this was mission critical. The power system needed to be 100 % reliable, no fail.

Huge UPS the size of a trailer running radar. That was just enough to tide it over until the diesel generators could spin up. Had to have two or three generators each capable of running entire load. Fail tolerance for the generators.

They had problems upon testing.Huge UPS pulled very nonlinear, non sine current waveform. That messed up the gen voltage and freq regulation. Power would go dirty, UPS would trip back on battery. Power would get clean, UPS switch back and start cycle again.

They had to filter the hell out the UPS I put as best they could and modify the gen regulators as well to handle that It was a major thing. that harmonic problem is well understood and dealt with now
