Crippled dogs are so excited to be put into their wheel-rigs so they can run and play. Rabbit, get your ass t' Mars. The springs on this deer are epic. Munch much? Helping a beached shark back into the ocean. Thank you, I guess...? Now that's a giant cactus. A fox sticks by his sick dog friend. This is what I imagine David French's dreams are like.

Unfortunately I’m listening to Kamala and it’s a slander per second. Such bullshit. And Fox News has been all a twitter about the Puerto Rican crap. Nikki Haley was doing her passive aggressive best to put a shiv in DJT’s back on Baier’s show. FNC appears to have gotten its marching orders from the Murdoch heirs.

Doing wonderful. Voted early today, but only once. And dodged a pickup passing a grain truck on a hill and a blind curve. Close. Too close. I also was asking some girl students why, with chimpanzees so close to human genetics, we use then as test animals, not the other way around.

35 20 Giraffa camelopardalis proper spelling.
Posted by: Ciampino - camellopardus *Golf clap First attested in English in 1785, the word camelopardalis comes from Latin, and it is the romanization of the Greek (kamēlos), "camel" + (pardalis), "spotted", because it has a long neck like a camel and spots like a leopard.

Camelopardalis is a large but faint constellation of Earth's northern sky representing a giraffe. It contains several stars, variable stars, galaxies, and an open cluster, but no Messier objects.

Former Jay done good.
I was cheering for the Dodgers out of Yankees hate already but I have a new reason now. ||Teoscar Hernandez and Kevin Kiermaier are two former Jays outfielders, with the latter having spent time with the team on each of the past two seasons. Hernández is hitting .333 with four hits, a homer, two RBIs, and a run scored in three games in the series. Kiermaier didn’t crack the final World Series roster but will still win a ring should the Dodgers pull it off. Given that he’s planning to retire at the end of this season, it would be quite the sendoff for Kiermaier to end his MLB career. The Dodgers also have a pair of bullpen arms with ties to the Blue Jays. Anthony Banda and Daniel Hudson both spent some time with the team in 2022 and 2019, respectively.|| Posted by: andycanuck (hovnC) at October 29, 2024 08:19 PM (hovnC) 92

Posted by: NaCly Dog at October 29, 2024 08:01 PM (u82oZ) Many animals and birds have complex vocalizations in evidence, and the apes have a pretty good base set. Back in the early days it was assumed that brain size would develop first but then when fossils were found the reverse was found - bipedalism and fully erect gait developed very early and brain size last. So the most likely trigger was hominids changing to a lifestyle that gave up hiding in trees and moving to one where frequent walking on the open ground and hunting and foraging required more facing danger, outthinking predators, required larger brains, more hand work and better communication in tandem.

Posted by: NaCly Dog at October 29, 2024 08:28 PM (u82oZ) I've heard off and on about theories of aquatic periods to explain the lack of body hair. Having hair never seemed to lead to hair loss in seals, though. or penguins and sea birds their feathers. Given the postulated core area being well inland in East Africa it seems unlikely but I haven't read any detailed case for or against it. I'd think wanting more effectiveness of sweat when bopping about on the plains is also a good reason, especially if clothes are in use. I have heard discussions that women drove language more than men did due to their better verbal skills even today. Posted by: Oldcat at October 29, 2024 08:39 PM (n7h9X) 170

Previously, on Ayn and Werner Meet the Loup Garou: Ayn and I were awakened by a frantic call from Walter Hill, whose film production in the Louisiana bayous was beset with a lurking menace that drove away the locals who were used as extras while attacking and in some cases apparently killing and eating members of the crew. The only clue amounted to tracks of an abnormally large bipedal canine. Of course you all know well of what Werner speaks -clearly, you say, it is James Carville.
Surprisingly, that was not the case. Ayn immediately divined that it was a Loup Garou, a moody French version of a werewolf. Werner was surprised that she knew of such things, as werewolves are traditionally an issue that Deutsch people and the other folk of Central and Eastern Europe must contend with. They are a huge bummer, for example, at Oktoberfest, hogging all the beer and chasing off the delightful jungfraus in their enticing dirndls. Eventually must come the reckoning, where asses are kicked and names taken, and the werewolves are stuck with the tab. 1/ Posted by: Werner Herzog Has Opinions at October 29, 2024 08:45 PM (tmPIh) Posted by: andycanuck (hovnC) at October 29, 2024 08:45 PM (hovnC) 186

Well, 3/4 are undeniably true. Do we have proof of the Nordstream thing? I don't recall; my brain only has room for so many "conspiracy theories."
Posted by: mikeski at October 29, 2024 08:32 PM (DgGvY) Nobody else has motive and ability. For one thing shortly before it was blown there was a US task force on maneuvers in the area, which you would think would make any other saboteurs wait a bit. Various people connected to the US government, including Biden mentioned before the fact that Nordstream would soon be it use. A Polish EU crat said the same, and he's married to another Deep Stater from the US. The fact that no investigation info was released is telling. Seymour Hersch wrote up a theory that we did it, and since I have heard other theories saying it was Ukraine or some motley crew in a rented boat. Neither seems convincing and the Ukraine option seems just an alternate way of admitting blame. Posted by: Oldcat at October 29, 2024 08:56 PM (n7h9X) 234

Yes "melting" and subliming shouldn't go together. Comets mostly sublime. The ice/snow turns directly into gas as it gets close to the sun.

Winging our way to New Orleans from the Big Apple, Werner took comfort in his trusty revolver, but also the Herzog family heirloom pair of brass knuckles, with the accompanying ancient motto of all Deutsch people - Fick herum und finde es heraus. Also I had in my baggage my long-treasured WWI trench knife, gifted to me by my grandfather, and loving inscribed Sag noch einmal mas.
Ayn had made herself comfortable, as always. She had only head-butted one flight attendant for taking too long to return with a Scotch and Soda, and pistol-whipped only one Sky Marshal, followed by multiple kneeings to his groin that left him a quivering, vomiting mass. She then turned and addressed all the passengers: Yo! I ain't flyin' with you, you be flyin' with me! This be Ayn's Hizz-ouse and you bitches better recognize! Slowly, but steadily, the passengers began applauding, culminating in a standing ovation. A young mother asked her to scribble her autograph on her infant's forehead, and she posed for numerous photos. Travel with Frau Rand was always diverting. 2/ Posted by: Werner Herzog Has Opinions at October 29, 2024 09:02 PM (tmPIh) 252

5 × 12.7 mm Hitrole-NT remote-controlled machine gun turrets 2 × 12.7 mm heavy machine guns (manually controlled) 2 1" autocannons 7 50cal machine guns.

As for Werner, I simply took solace in having talked Ayn down from her original plan - she wanted to perch herself on the port wing of the airliner to both taunt and frighten the passengers, just like in that Twilight Zone episode. Which was unique, as Ayn had never watched the Twilight Zone, and Rod Serling was one of the few Hollywood celebrities she had neither met or punched out.
Having knocked back her eighth Scotch and Soda, she raised the question as to whether she should batter her way into the cockpit and force the pilot to do a series of barrel rolls. I persuaded her that the passengers could only take so much enthusiasm, and changed the subject. Ayn, I said, please tell Werner how you think we should deal with this. Walter Hill is a superb film-maker and a screenwriter almost as good as yourself, but he is a civilian. Werewolves, even faggy French ones, are an Old World kind of thing. We have to keep him and the crew safely out of the way while we duke this out with the Loup Garou. 3/ Posted by: Werner Herzog Has Opinions at October 29, 2024 09:19 PM (tmPIh) 304

Just looking, I see Elon said something about using big nukes to vaporize a lot of CO2 at the polar ice caps. It would release a lot of dust as well, and there was some debate whether it work efficiently or not. The main thing to get Mars terraformed is increase the atmosphere and warm it up. Then you've got to keep it (think solar wind stripping due to lack of magnetic field). There are some ideas about an artificial magnetosphere. Then, you worry about water and O2 (unless some method of getting them there helps with the pressure and the temperature).

He's the gift that just keeps on giving.
So much for any bounce Harris might have gotten from her speech. @JoeBiden Earlier today I referred to the hateful rhetoric about Puerto Rico spewed by Trump's supporter at his Madison Square Garden rally as garbage—which is the only word I can think of to describe it. His demonization of Latinos is unconscionable. That's all I meant to say. The comments at that rally don't reflect who we are as a nation.

It's a little harder to do that with sealed boxes with paper ballots with partisan observers bird-dogging it the entire time as part of the chain of custody.
Neat thing about physical evidence is that it is both easy to see and can be stored for long periods of time but remain accessible for verification purposes. Posted by: Commissar Hrothgar (hOUT3) ~ NEXT Year In Corsicana - again! ~ at October 29, 2024 09:48 PM (hOUT3) 374

If there were 11,000 people bused in, there had to be a lot more more buses, or else the people were parking in lots in the 'burbs, and being shuttled to the Ellipse in buses making many, many runs.

All you have to do is just keep the rate of solar wind stripping low enough to maintain a balance with whatever you're doing to pump more gas into the atmosphere. Posted by: publius The L4 and L5 points are stable, meaning objects can maintain their orbits around these points for extended periods. These points form the apex of two equilateral triangles, with the Sun and Mars at the vertices. L4 leads the orbit of Mars, while L5 trails behind. The solar wind is 'away' from the Sun. How do they plan on warping the solar wind from one of the apex's... A di-pole would direct the wind? Posted by: AZ deplorable moron at October 29, 2024 10:00 PM (1S8t8) 407
