Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Kamala Harris Is Taking a Taxpayer Funded Trip Around the World... to Inform Foreign Governments of the Biden Administration's AccomplishmentsWe're paying for her and her aides and her security detail to take a round-the-world trip to tell foreigners about Biden's and Harris's alleged accomplishments? What are we even talking about? What is happening?I'm sure our warriors deployed overseas will be overjoyed to be bothered with another political photo op by a useless loser. Speaking of the dick-riding devi, there was mild amusement on the right when Deb Fischer's husband balked at shaking Kamala Harris's hand when his wife, Republican Deb Fischer, was being sworn in.
MAGA Gives 'Real Reason' for Kamala Snub by Senator's Hubby"Real reason" is put in sneer-quotes and attributed to "MAGA" to suggest that they're all lying liars who lie about having to walk with a cane. It wasn't just the despicable sexual-assaulter and unemployable moron Don LeMon who shrieked at the obvious racism of this disabled man for choosing his cane over a Strong Empowered Woman of Color's hand. The whole of the left cried out at the Holocaust-level horror. Including NeverTrump grifter clown Joe Walsh (not the guitarist, obvs) and former "real media journalist" and Republican primary debate "moderator" John Harwood.

In Kamala's defense, I too would probably take advantage of a tax payer paid ultra luxury world tour on a private jet before I had to go back to normal grifting as well.
When is her next chance to fly on a private jet? Especially since Epstein died? And not a Gulfstream little baby jet, a real life private 757! I doubt Trump will be flying her around on his 757 any time soon. Posted by: Harry Paratestes at January 08, 2025 03:35 PM (uCjyK) Posted by: Archimedes at January 08, 2025 03:35 PM (xCA6C) 13

I feel there might have been some willowing to address:
--- Biden Acknowledges He Might Not Have Been Able to Serve Four More Years President Biden insisted that he still could have beaten Donald J. Trump had he stayed in the race, but could not say he would have been vital enough to be president until age 86. --- So, at least he covers the important part to the American people. Whether or not he could have beaten Donald Trump. Not whether or not that vote would have meant squat, just he would have been able to defraud more voters into believing it meant something to vote for him. Okay!

Nope. Not gonna' happen. A downhill siphon only works if the resulting fall ... after the initial rise caused by the one-time suction event ... uses enough potential energy to offset the initial lift of the material vertically. If it could ? Then you'd have solved perpetual motion. Won't work. Do not pass go. Do not collect jack shit. Posted by: Taking Notice at January 08, 2025 03:44 PM (e15Ap) 84

They were sick and tired of morons trying to patent such machines, and requiring a working model put a stop to such applications. Posted by: Deplorable Jay Guevara Some "reactionless drives" have been awarded patents, though.They're not perpetual motion machines, but critics say they are as equally impossible. Personally, I'm not so sure. I've seen videos of Cook Inertial Propulsion devices and read the patents, and it seems t me that that particular design does not violate any physical laws and could in principle (i.e. converting rotational force to directional force).

Hey. Just wrote up something you all may enjoy.
1/3 This is a subject I have been waiting a while to have someone bring up, and I am glad Ace did earlier today. One of the "intolerable acts" that motivated the independence movement was King George III asserted the right to change venue for any official accused of capital offense in the colonies. An act for the impartial administration of justice... "...or in acting under the direction and order of any magistrate, for the suppression of riots, or for the carrying into effect the laws of revenue,..." "...to the satisfaction of the said governor, or lieutenant-governor respectively, that an indifferent trial cannot be had within the said province, in that case, it shall and may be lawful for the governor, or lieutenant-governor, to direct, with the advice and consent of the council, that the inquisition, indictment, or appeal, shall be tried in some other of his Majesty's colonies, or in Great Britain;" Posted by: bob at January 08, 2025 03:59 PM (qUMgz) 186
2/3
The background is that the officials feared an impartial jury in the colonies, but the the colonists saw it the other way and felt the administrators would be free to commit murder without consequences. All this made them put it into the constitution that all trails had to be held with a jury, of peers (impartial), in jurisdiction where the crime was committed. And that prevents the change of venue to outside DC. Ironic, isn't it? Amendment VI "...the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed,..." But Article Three Section Two says: "Trial of all Crimes, except in Cases of Impeachment, shall be by Jury; and such Trial shall be held in the State where the said Crimes shall have been committed; but when not committed within any State, the Trial shall be at such Place or Places as the Congress may by Law have directed. " Posted by: bob at January 08, 2025 03:59 PM (qUMgz) 187
3/3
So the murder of Ashli Babbit was *exactly* the type of case this was meant to cover (excepting that it is not a capital crime anymore to murder someone) and the handling of the case by a corrupt system to allow the murderer to go free is *exactly* the results the colonists expected when they labeled this the "murder act." Yet in a broader sense, the Americans wrote the constitution to avoid the kind of biased juries all the J6 victims have seen. They did NOT want trials to be held in ruling class cities with biased juries where the guilty would be set free, and the innocent persecuted. Posted by: bob at January 08, 2025 03:59 PM (qUMgz) 188

He wants cast iron because it is like a non stick pan after it's seasoned.
Cast iron and carbon steel are basically the same composition. CI retains heat better, but is a larger thermal mass, and so takes longer to heat up, and has less responsive control during cooking. Carbon steel is lighter, heats up quicker, but also retains heat less well for the same reason.

That shit has killed pet birds just from normal use.
GASSSSSSS Posted by: Commissar of Plenty Not normal use. At water or oil temperatures it is totally inert. Yes, if you leave it to burn it will emit toxic fumes, but most things do. To kill a bird you have to leave it on the burner, with no overheat protection, and let it scorch with no water or oil in it.

His thinking is sound except the bit about teflon being harmful.
It's not really the teflon, it's the breakdown products, which include PFAS and various other chemicals. Whether PFAS is really a problem is another question. When Teflon (polytetrafluoroethylene, or PTFE) breaks down, it releases toxic chemicals into the air, including: Fluorocarbon gases: Tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) and difluorocarbene radicals (RCF2) are the main decomposition products. Carbonyl fluoride: A highly toxic byproduct of PTFE pyrolysis. Hydrogen fluoride: A highly toxic byproduct of PTFE pyrolysis. Perfluoroisobutylene: A highly toxic byproduct of PTFE pyrolysis. CO, CO2, CF4, and COF2: Byproducts of Teflon combustion. Teflon coatings on nonstick cookware can start to break down at temperatures above 500°F (260°C). Inhaling these fumes can lead to polymer fume fever, also known as the Teflon flu. Teflon is often incinerated like other garbage, which releases PFAS chemicals into the environment. ...PFAS chemicals have been linked to many health effects, including kidney and testicular cancer, immune system dysfunction, and thyroid disease.

High end multi-ply cookware has an aluminum core sandwiched between thin layers of SS, so the work of transmitting heat is largely done by the Al, which has much better thermal conductivity.

We have Stainless already. My Pots are All Clad SS. He wants to replace the non-stick frying pans because of the chemicals that leech out during cooking. Chemicals he says your body can't get rid of. He wants cast iron because it is like a non stick pan after it's seasoned.
Posted by: lin-duh of the garbage clan at January 08, 2025 04:02 PM (K2iv3) I have All Clad, Le Creuset and Lodge Cast Iron. I've cooked on cast iron most of my life, but it is worth noting that it's a different beast. Takes longer to heat up (but holds heat well), and you have to be pretty specific in how you clean it (no harsh soaps with lye, has to be completely dry before you put it away. Old school people don't use any soap on it at all). As far as non stick? It's not as good as teflon, but a well seasoned pan can cook really solid fried eggs w/ a little bit of butter or other lubricant. Posted by: Harry Paratestes at January 08, 2025 04:27 PM (uCjyK) 365

Sure, but if it's relatively thin, you get the chemical benefits of SS (no Al in contact with your food) and almost the same thermal benefits.
Posted by: Archimedes It can't be too thin, or stress will cause delamination. This is actually a real problem. If you cook with carbon steel, you can see how quickly it sends heat to the food. This is not necessarily necessary for good cooking, it is just a matter of what you are used to. Posted by: bob (moron incognitus) at January 08, 2025 04:30 PM (qUMgz) 378
