Christmas Catastrophe Cafe

PyramidofKhafreEgypt.jpg
The Pyramid of Khafre, Egypt

Christmas wrapping your cat.

Dog insists on helping his master carry a big load.

Dog wakes up master with love.

Superior waves.

Blind and deaf dog reunites with master after two months of absence.

Blind dog touches the beach for the first time.

Retirement prank for a K9 dog.


Cat helps find the toys she batted under the stove. I think at the end the woman actually gets the pink ball out from under the stove, and the cat immediately knocks it back under.

It's like the post-party scene in an 80s teenager movie.

POV: Mother cat rounds up her seven kittens.

A failure to communicate.

Saving a deer from the ice.

Cute little baby.

It's cute how the dog doesn't want just any of the dozens of other balls. The volume is irrelevant but for the confusion it invokes. The dog simply wants the one ball his/her handler has and rewards. The thing isn't the thing. It's the approval from the handler which is, yet again, why dogs are special.

Late war Luftwaffe paint can lead to intense discussions. Technically RLM81 and 82 do not have official names along with the fight over what is 83.

Then one sees with late war 109s and 190s not RLM76 Lichtblau for portions of the underside but a tint more in line with RAF Type S or duck egg blue along with parts of the undersides left in natural metal.

At the end of the war some Me 262s were being accepted only in one color, usually RLM83 which if oft called simply 'green.' A lot of bloody help that is.

So, your guess is as good as anyone else since several of the key documents specifying these changes are lost.

Growing up we had a simiar incident with our female cat Allie sitting in the front yard when two small yapping dogs came up to her. They were reluctant to bite, as she was their size and then our male cat came tearing in from out back and went for the closest dog and knocked him end for end in the air with one blow. before the first dog stopped rolling they both went for the other dog and chased him all the way back to their house. No harm to the dogs but dignity.

I'd guess with the usual German tinkering method of production they probably made do with what they could get by the end of the war more often than not.

There's the old story when the USSR had a B-29 land in Russia in WWII and decided not to return it and copy it. The team put together to copy it found a strange hole under one wing and that a tunnel inside was half green and half silver and weren't sure what to do. So they just drilled a hole in the right spot and painted half and half.

Later other B-29s were interened and had no holes, and one had silver inside and one green, but they kept copying the original regardless.

134 Update: Some commenters are saying he could still be re-tried on the count of manslaughter 2 that was dismissed (on the motion of the prosecution) on Friday. No. Once a jury is empaneled, double jeopardy attaches. A mistrial can be retried because it's a mistrial -- no true trial occurred, as no verdict was rendered -- but once the jury is empaneled, a dismissal is a dismissal with prejudice. He's free and clear on these charges forever.

Also, he's free and clear on these facts. In other words, the prosecutors cannot take the same facts at trial here and spin out another new charge. They are barred from bringing up new charges based on the same facts if they could have brought them up in a prior trial. They cannot now say "we're charging him for aggravated battery." That charge would arise from the same facts here. They've had their bite at this particular apple, they don't get another one.

They may try to find some other facts they can make charges on to persecute him, but he is now free and clear on these charges and any other charges arising from these facts.

136 Update to my update: I just remembered, prosecutors unfortunately can try some bullsh*t where they bring a "violation of civil rights" charge. The feds did that with the cops in the LA riots case. That was ruled not to be based on the "same facts" as the original charges were.

I don't expect them to do that but I guess they could. I imagine that Penny would try to dismiss these charges citing double jeopardy, but I don't know if the case law would be on his side.

In WWII each side had about 1.5 to 2 million in that part of the front at various times.

Unit densities now are much lower since everything can be seen and often hit and its best not to be worth something expensive.

But yes the initial wave of the invasion was a stunt. The airborne troops almost nabbed the government but just missed. The thrust to Kiev and hanging out them allowed the militias to secure the coastal "Land Bridge" area and surround Azov in Mariopol without opposition easily.

I am pleased to announce that Mark Paoletta will be returning as General Counsel of the Office of Management and Budget. Mark will work closely with our DOGE team to cut the size of our bloated Government bureaucracy, and root out wasteful and anti-American spending.

Mark is a brilliant and tenacious lawyer, who worked tirelessly to advance my Agenda in the First Term. As OMB GC in my First Administration, Mark led the charge to identify funding to build the Southern Border Wall, and worked with then-OMB Director Russ Vought to rein in woke and weaponized Government spending. Mark is a partner at the Law Firm, Schaerr Jaffe, and a Senior Fellow at the Center for Renewing America, where he has worked alongside Russ. Mark has served as a Chief Counsel for Oversight and Investigations in Congress for a decade, and was a key lawyer in the White House Counsel’s Office to confirm Justice Clarence Thomas to the U.S. Supreme Court in 1991.

Mark is a conservative warrior who knows the “ins and outs” of Government - He will help us, Make America Great Again!

Throughout her career, Harmeet has stood up consistently to protect our cherished Civil Liberties, including taking on Big Tech for censoring our Free Speech, representing Christians who were prevented from praying together during COVID, and suing corporations who use woke policies to discriminate against their workers. Harmeet is one of the top Election lawyers in the Country, fighting to ensure that all, and ONLY, legal votes are counted. She is a graduate of Dartmouth College and the University of Virginia Law School, and clerked in the U.S. Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals. Harmeet is a respected member of the Sikh religious community. In her new role at the DOJ, Harmeet will be a tireless defender of our Constitutional Rights, and will enforce our Civil Rights and Election Laws FAIRLY and FIRMLY.

Congratulations, Harmeet!

263 So is the speed limit 55 or 35?
Posted by: mikeski at December 09, 2024 09:07 PM (DgGvY)

US 31 is a divided, limited access higheay, so at least 50mph limit. Idiots go 70 and have to screech to a stop at the lights.

I-196 business through town is 30-35mph, with no light timing I can discern.

When I bought eggs last week, it was cheaper to buy a 30-count package of medium eggs (a little more than $7.89) than anything else.

Kroger sent me a free dozen coupon in the mail. (Yes, mail. The corporation thinks I may be somewhat older than 29.) It's like getting a free gold ingot.
