Evenin'
Eventful night. I'm at my sisters and we get a call from our Mom. A car crashed into my parents car while sitting in the driveway. Parents were inside the house. We go to our parents. A car was sideways, leaning against my parents car. Lots of old trees in my old neighborhood yet this car missed them all. Kind of a miracle. The driver was taking stuff out of her car, didn't use the parking break, it's a stick shift, and gravity took over. It went down hill, crossed the street, cut over the neighbors yard, hit the edge of her house, flipped down a small hill, rolled next to Mom's car. Amazing really.

The driver was trying to stop the car and dragged her all the way to the neighbors yard across the street. Her shoulder is messed up and probably has a concussion. The neighbors house has a dented drain pipe. Moms car has a dented fender. Drivers car is a mess. So's the driver. She was takin to the hospital. The poor husband was almost in shock. Just started a new job too and had to go to work tonight after all of this. Poor guy. Him and wife have 4 kids too. Yikes. Guess mom in law is staying overnight with them.

I don't know if this has been pointed out yet, but if you ask yourself, what's the most important thing about this debate, you have to ask why did Trump pick Vance.
The important thing about Vance is that we need a successor to Trump. So the BIG thing is this debate is when you ask yourself, "Does THAT GUY, that we just saw debating, have what it takes to succeed Trump?" The answer to that seem pretty clear, and the answer is "Hell, yeah!" Posted by: MrExcitement at October 01, 2024 11:04 PM (hOOi9) 61
So far no apparent Israeli response to Missile Fest, Part Dieux last night (a**-kicking of Hezb in Lebanon, and ground ops, continue, and a juicy leadership target was offed in Syria). Ominously, and to me unbelievably (as in, I am not sure I believe it and certainly hope it's not true) one "news" agency (AFP) is reporting that Israel is coordinating with the US on a response.
Obviously a smart and effective response could not have the blessing of the idiot children in power in Washington, whose delusional regional policies are an all-out appeasement of the source of most of the region's problems. (AFP was actually the least-worst of the big wires when I was dealing with them in the region, mostly owing to their stringers mostly being Indians who - unlike the Americans and Euros at Reuters and AP - were not stupidly anti-American and pro-barbarian) Posted by: rhomboid at October 01, 2024 11:04 PM (GcNJ2) 62

AWFLs will happily accept a brutal Communist dictatorship, so long as that dictatorship provides free unlimited abortions. They are in the process of proving that. Posted by: The ARC of History! at October 01, 2024 11:11 PM (uxCna) 106

I stopped at my neighbor's place and had a beer after coming back from the next town. They have a new kitten, called "Yeti". He is a hoot. Roars around the room at a breakneck pace, leaps from chair to chair, lands in my lap, endures cuddles while biting my hand. He's got six toes on each foot, and his little paws look like catchers' mitts. Seems to have some seal point Siamese in him.

That's exactly why he was picked. I don't think it's lost on Trump that he has one term and fixing this country is going to take a lot more than one term. Trump is the rolling ball of razor blades that we need to take down the entrenched powers that have taken over this country.

Want to point out something said on an earlier thread about how the 82nd Airborne division has not been mobilized to assist in hurricane relief. The point is the US is looking at a war in Europe and an exploding Middle East, and the 82nd is America's first response unit. They can have a battalion on the ground anywhere in the world in 24 hours and a Brigade in 48. Right or wrong, they cannot be taken off that role. There are other units that can assist and they should be ramping up. But not the 82nd.

Posted by: Soothsayer at October 01, 2024 11:19 PM (2dCSr) Muriatic acid is hydrochloric acid. Exact same product. The former name is used in commerce, the latter in chemistry. In other words, it's a chemical that was so widely used in commerce and industry, it got it's own generic name. Just like "lye" is sodium hydroxide. Or "caustic soda".

Tom I'm hoping it's mostly the Israelis figuring out that it's a great time to STFU about their operations. They did for selected periods in Gaza. But there has been an astonishing level of leaks and ball-spiking and other idiocy for months (one hopes the tik-tok on the Haniyeh hit was deliberate disinformation, ditto much of the background on the Nasrallah promotion).
One thing for a fat safe superpower like the US to engage in its idiotic Beltway leak one-upsmanship, another for a small country playing for all the marbles. And it's possible Hezb/Syria are fairly blind. Not sure Russia has or will devote the assets to give them much granular info on what's going on in the south, and drones may not be the answer. One wonders just what Hezb is using for tactical comms any more, given the, umm, "difficulties" with same in recent weeks. There have been lots of small special operations in south Lebanon going back months. Probably the best prepped battle field Israel has ever had.

Posted by: Dr. T at October 01, 2024 11:37 PM (lHPJf) "Enhanced rock weathering builds on a natural part of our climate system. As rocks are worn away by rain (or “weathered”, they release elements like calcium and magnesium. Meanwhile, CO2 in the air goes through other natural reactions to become carbonic acid (found in rain) or bicarbonate (found in the ocean). When these different compounds meet, they join to form new rocks like calcium carbonate, better known as limestone. In this way, rocks help draw CO2 out of the atmosphere."

Caesar, you mean the Lebanese Army abandoned its mission of enforcing UNSCR 1701?? Say it isn't so.
Everybody posting here (well, maybe save andy and AOP) have been paying to build up (and literally meet the payroll) of the LAF for years now. To what end? Bupkis. They have done nothing to restore Lebanese sovereignty or sanity (i.e. reign in Hezb or the IRGC). They might not fight alongside the bad guys, but they won't fight against them.

Hydrofluoric acid is no bueno.
Soaks right through your skin without leaving immediate burns. The vapors are dangerous at levels where you can't smell them. It's not a strong acid; but the fluorine really likes binding to calcium.

UNRWA was infamous as a slimy pit of corrupt Israelphobes decades ago.

Do I remember correctly that PDT was a germaphobe before he ran the first time?
Posted by: Tonypete at October 02, 2024 12:00 AM (WXNFJ) The guy was an NYC social scene fixture in the '80s. I don't understand where this germaphobe idea came from. He wasn't Howard Hughes screening films alone while surrounded by Kleenex boxes. He celebrated his 2016 Republican nomination with, IIRC, a Big Mac and fries made by some rando. Is that the behaviour of a germaphobe? Posted by: spindrift at October 02, 2024 12:13 AM (+L+2Y) 353
Debate post mortem:
On the issues that matter, such as economy and immigration, the questions were brief and the bimbos could not run away from them fast enough. Why? Because... On the issues that are fringe, every one of them was argued on Democrat turf. Not a single fringe issue was discussed that put the democrats on their heels. The big takeaway is Vance, who proved himself, once more, a masterful communicator. Slick, polished, well prepared, good smile, friendly but willing to be serious, will argue without sounding whiny like Romney. Stays on message unlike Trump. Appeals to everyone that's not a godless leftist loon. He's the future.

Miklos just occurred to me, perhaps I shared a tram or crossed paths with a young KGB officer, Vladimir Vladimirovich. Have to check the timelines on his career. They sure didn't waste any time following us. Some fairly reckless people traveled (by air) to other cities for weekends, violating their visas. Most of us just stayed out far past the curfew, (usually) getting back before the bridges came up in the early AM. "White nights", so one could fully enjoy the sight of guys passed out on the sidewalks and in the gutters as you passed by.

Even in her sleep she would mumble about it, softly murmuring Soon, Werner, soon will come Der Tag, where the asses shall be kicked and the names taken. Next will come the Bolsheviks. who will tremble before us!
On one suxh evening, we were awakened by a call from the director, Walter Hill. Ayn, said he, and Werner as well if you're there, I've got a problem.

I have taken care of my friend's cats. I'm a dog person.
Know many incredibly well. Anyways we're nearing 1 am. My buddy cat Trumpy is happily purring away in my bed wearing the $80 Canadian anti flea stuff I bought as I type this. I have a cat litter box in the room. And I'll bring up his food and water after this post. I'll be taking very extended care of them soon. Trumpy's very happy here. So does this dog person, who has taken care of crazy amounts of cats, do I have a cat? Posted by: Stateless at October 02, 2024 01:02 AM (jvJvP) 435
I remember when Johnny Carson made a joke about "the next shortage will be toilet paper! Ha ha!" and it triggered panic buying.
This was in the '70s, when there was inflation, an oil shortage, a beef shortage etc. so a toilet paper shortage was perfectly plausible. Posted by: Idaho Spudboy at October 02, 2024 01:04 AM (ykeCS) 436

We don't have fetus showers, Raimondo. We have baby showers.
They call it a fetus so that simple minded people like you, who refuse to accept personal responsibility for anything, can soothe what passes for their conscience, by assuring themselves that that they aren't murdering their own child.

Generally, when confronted by an abortion apologist, I ask "how long has it been since you had your abortion," and it shuts down the nonsense talk about "fetuses" and other idiotic garbage. Honestly, call Project Rachel and do some healing instead of doubling down and causing more deaths, already.

The exhaust, from whatever reaction, was vented to the atmosphere via a steel cylinder (repurposed lecture bottle) full of calcium oxide.

Posted by: raimondo at October 02, 2024 01:33 AM (XsBZJ) ************* Biology says otherwise. All of the criteria for the definition of life are satisfied at conception. That means that at conception, the fertilized egg becomes a human being. It's a shame that you suck at science and have to lie about this. It's even worse that you're willing to kill an innocent human simply because they are inconvenient in the vast majority of cases. You'll deny other people their civil rights and be perfectly happy to do so.

The damage control on the dem side will be spectacular to watch in the coming days. I wonder what new 'word' they'll all be saying tomorrow. Walz was 'patient?' "tempered?' Who knows. I bet KJP has to do a song and tap-dance to convince the WH press that Walz owned Vance in the debate. It's a brilliant strategy letting them know that if they off Trump,they get Vance.

I kept seeing these ads claiming that billionaires don’t pay any taxes, so i decided i would look at those leaked ProPublica returns.
They have a funny way of getting the “True Tax Rate”. It’s roughly equivalent to taking your taxes as a part of your actual income together with the value of all of your assets including your home. Actual tax rate instead of “True Tax Rate” Buffett: 18.96% instead of 0.1% Bezos: 23.05% instead of 0.98% Bloomberg: 2.92% instead of 1.3% Musk: 29.93% instead of 3.27% Apparently, these “rich bastards” don’t pay taxes in a given year because they don’t realize the value of any of their assets and probably live off of the income from the previous year.

Morning, fellow insomaniacals! Up to work out after six hours' sleep. Don't know how I'd do it, stay asleep that is, without the esteemed law firm of Unisom & Melatonin.
I watched the first half hour of the VP debate. Vance seemed self-contained, entire of himself, while Walz kept shifting around and shuffling his feet. At one point he scratched at his right ear -- perhaps at an earpiece? -- and kept looking down at his podium -- checking notes he wasn't supposed to have? I headed off to bed just after Vance got into a wrangle with one of the "moderators" about illegality of our invaders. How do you think VAnce came off?
