Spanning The Globe To Bring You The Constant Variety Of ONTs
Hello Horde! It's Thursday night, welcome to the ONT. Let's start with a meme that escaped from tomorrow's post:
Imagine Finding This In The Attic
Cut-price Magna Carta 'copy' now believed genuine
A manuscript once considered an unofficial copy of Magna Carta is now believed to be a genuine version and ''one of the world's most valuable documents'', according to UK academics.Of course it's at * spit * Harvard. Why couldn't Hillsdale have found a copy?
Harvard Law School paid $27.50 (then about £7) for it in 1946 and for years it has remained tucked away in its library, its true identity unknown. But two medieval history professors have concluded it is an extraordinarily rare and lost original Magna Carta from 1300, in the reign of King Edward I, that could be worth millions. ''This is a fantastic discovery," said Prof David Carpenter from King's College London, who began analysing it after seeing digitised images of it on the US university's website.
The Internet Is For Porn New Bill Would Make All Pornography a Federal Crime in the U.S.
Republican Senator of Utah Mike Lee introduced a bill that would effectively ban porn at the federal level in the United States.The site I use to get around paywalls is down, so I don't have any more than that. Anyone know about this bill? If it passes, but stock in VPN companies. I Was Told That There Would Be No Math Mathematician Finds Solution to One of The Oldest Problems in Algebra
The Interstate Obscenity Definition Act (IODA), introduced by Lee and Illinois Republican Rep. Mary Miller on Thursday, aims to change the Supreme Court’s 1973 “Miller Test” for determining what qualifies as obscene. “Obscenity isn’t protected by the First Amendment, but hazy and unenforceable legal definitions have allowed extreme pornography to saturate American society and reach countless children,” Lee said in a press release. “Our bill updates the legal definition of obscenity for the internet age so this content can be taken down and its peddlers prosecuted.”
As you might expect, understanding how this works isn't easy for the non-algebra geniuses amongst us. Essentially, polynomials are equations that include variables raised to non-negative powers (e.g. x3). When those powers are five or above, that's a higher-degree polynomial. Mathematicians have figured out how to solve lower-degree versions, but it was thought that properly calculating the higher-degree ones was impossible. Before this new research, we've been relying on approximations. Wildberger and Rubine took a new approach to the problem, which is based on Catalan numbers. These numbers are used in advanced number counting and arrangements, including counting how many ways polygons can be subdivided into triangles. By extending the idea of Catalan numbers, the researchers were able to demonstrate that they could be used as a basis for solving polynomial equations of any degree. Part of the clever method involved extending polygon counts to other shapes besides triangles.It's beyond me, but I bet there are some of y'all who understand it. Dudes Being Dudes

Will Danielle Smith steer Alberta away from separation, or will this train keep gathering steam?
Alberta's leader told Postmedia this week that many disaffected Albertans see the threat coming from the east, like other Canadians perceive the threat from the south. "As scared as these people are of what Donald Trump is going to do to their economy, that's how scared Albertans are of what the Liberals are going to do to the Alberta economy," Smith said. And just as heightened anti-American feelings have risen broadly — including in Alberta — the separatist movement is aiming to transform the long-brewing anti-Ottawa sentiment into an anti-Canada sentiment.I don't know if Alberta could make it as a stand alone country, but as the 51st state? It would be nice to be a fan of an American hockey team.
These People Are Insane Three siblings rescued from house of horrors after ‘COVID syndrome’ parents kept them locked inside since 2021
Three children were dramatically rescued from a COVID lockdown house of horrors after being forced for years to stay inside and wear face masks long after pandemic restrictions ended. The siblings — 8-year-old twins and a 10-year-old — were finally freed from the home in Oviedo in Spain’s northwest on Monday after being locked inside since 2021, local outlet El Comercio reported. “As soon as we got them out, all three children began to breathe deeply, as if they had never been outside before,” an investigator said.Child abuse, nothing but. High On Life Brazilian Psychedelic Plant Emerges as Potential Depression Treatment
Harrowing photos published by Spanish media showed the kids, who are German, emerging from the home wearing face masks.
Immediately after stepping outside, cops said, the children appeared to be amazed and went to touch the grass.
Long used in Indigenous Brazilian rituals, the jurema preta plant, which contains a potent psychedelic, is gaining ground as a potential treatment for depression. At street stalls where medicinal herbs are sold, customers can buy the plant's root which contains dimethyltryptamine (DMT), a hallucinogenic substance that researchers say could be used to alleviate symptoms. Following instructions he found on the internet, Guaracy Carvajal extracted DMT at home in 2016 from roots he bought on the street. The 31-year-old software programmer, who had tried various treatment for chronic depression he has suffered since adolescence, said the drug makes it "feel like you've solved something in your life."I dunno. If it helps folks with depression, that would be a boon for mankind.

We have to ban porn after we’ve re-Christianized the country and gotten rid of the commies.
Posted by: Disinterested FDA Director at May 15, 2025 10:12 PM (l3YAf)
The Canadian singer-songwriter began writing Blurring Time in 2021 as a way to process questions about his gender identity. Once he decided to transition, he recorded the tracks in his pre-testosterone voice and again after his voice deepened, harmonizing with the past version of himself.
Blurring Time puts words to a trans experience rarely represented in the media, of the vulnerability of facing the unknown in the quest to live authentically. It resonated with fans, and Larsen began to plan his headlining tour, with dates in New York, Boston, Los Angeles and San Francisco, among other U.S. cities.
...
The policy states that USCIS only recognizes two “biological sexes, male and female,” as assigned at birth. After seeking legal advice, Larsen, who had already changed his gender marker on his passport, came to the conclusion that he had no choice but to cancel his tour.
Literally Hitler.

Best I could gather - it's in the PDF #9 Eisenstein's Example theorem 11 - listing out those monster power-series, and solving them, is more of a pain in the ass than just feeding the quintic itself and its derivative into the Newton Raphson iterator.
Eisenstein's quintic, by the way, is just -t+x+x^5=0. Lagrange would have coefficients on just about all the x's here.
So: academic interest, impractical for astronomy or pretty much anywhere else you need a quintic or above.

I'm emotionally exhausted and will read tomorrow.
I was supposed to go to the lawyer's tomorrow, sign a mortgage with my brother and work to pay him off in a year for the house. But he's jacking me around and wants to be paid off now.
I took care of my parents for 14 years. I haven't left the house overnight in 9.5 years. I never wanted anything more than 50% . I figured Steve and I would figure something out. Conservatives are so fucking gullible.
He already got $100,000 settled quickly. There was $500,000 in metals we dug up..... Half his.No problem.There's $90,000 in the bank he gets the minute my living situation is solved.
I wanted a year to get my life together. I've been a caregiver forever. I deserve one one freaking year.
His cunt wife apparently wants me to buy him out immediately. Fuck her. Steve says he can't hold a mortgage for a year or she'll divorce him. I'm not married, but threatening divorce is a line you NEVER cross.
There's $90,000 I am ready to release to him tomorrow.. Another $10,000 immediately paid on the principal, $1500 a month and I'll pay him out next June 30th, even it is with the precious
metals.

Despite what the cunt wants, he's not getting paid out this year. I want a year to get my life together. They already have $350,000 and $90,000 I'm holding from him until this is resolved. One year mortgage. Here's 90 grand.
I told the lawyer to tell him I am getting my 1 year to get my life together,
.
Steve will have to sue me and force a sale of the house I will make his life hell....like he is me. If the cunt was going to divorce him over a mortgage, she'll love love the legal fight.

How about no.
Time to get an attack lawyer.
Probate takes longer than a year, generally, and that is because of the various expenses associated with items paid after decease. Dude can wait a year, maybe longer, and not even break a sweat.
If he gets divorced, I fail to see how that is your issue.
Family are a genuine PITA sometimes. Stand your ground.
Better yet, charge him for 14 years of service, and then see what's left.

My dad's estate was pretty simple and it was still stressful dealing with it.

That was just sensible since both sibs live in different states and the estate was not big or messy enough to need to hire a lawyer to deal with it, but I still resented having to do that last bit of grunt work.

___________________________
I read the Clarity Law that dictates what is necessary for a secession of a province. In short, the law should be called the Imprecision Law. Those bastards in Ottawa purposefully were vague in defining the terms. The House of Commons stated that the people of the province must show a "clear majority" (undefined) and a "clear will of the people" (undefined).
Which means they will define those terms to benefit themselves. Now, Alberta would, obviously and correctly, state a majority is anything above 50%. Which means there will be an impasse as Ottawa will, no doubt, state that "clear majority" means something else entirely. That means Court involvement simultaneous with negotiation of departure requirements. I hate to say it, but I suspect Ottawa will offer up a deal of Alberta continuing to pay into Canada's coffers well after any departure date.
The goal will be two-fold. Continued revenue and stalling to make the whole effort continuously unappetizing.

Yep, you'd be hard-pressed to get it done any faster than a year, even for the simplest estate. In my (and your) state you've got the delay before the court even appoints the personal representative, then the four months of publication of notices to creditors, then dealing with any creditors that do show up, then disposing of any personal property and real estate (which can take an indefinite amount of time), then after all that crap is done, filing a tax return for the state.
Couple that with the fact that in Alaska the decedent may be entitled to the next year's PFD if he or she died after June 30, and it could be that it's not even possible to settle it in a year.
I'm involved in two right now. The simple one is going to total a year and half minimum. The complicated one has dragged on for four years now.

If what Mike Lee has in store at the federal level is what has passed at the state level, then it is merely a positive age identification law, which forces pornography distributors to obtain names and government issued IDs from users as well as opening up pornography distributors to lawsuits should underage users access their product.
Because most pornography consumers don't want identify themselves and because most pornographic sites rely on a sketchy "check box if you are over 18" age verification process, most pornography distribution sites simply shut down their web access in states that pass these laws.
It's pretty sound law. We wouldn't allow bars to merely have a screen that says "Must be 21 to drink alcohol. Are you 21 Yes/No" to verify age, nor should the process be that simple for porn which is as harmful, if not more so, to society.
The state I live in recently passed this initiative, but a female Jewish judge put a TRO on it until the state appeals it, probably because all the big 3 porn sites are owned by Jews, including PornHub which is owned by a Rabbi.

Mom, Dad and I had no unexpressed thoughts. 88 years old. 90 years old.

He was worried about where I would live after they passed.

Also dry measures.
>> Stones, and hundredweights are obsolete, many decades gone by.
I don’t know if stone were ever used in the U.S.
One ton is 20 hundredweight. In America a hundredweight is 100 lbs (sensible, patriotic), so a ton is 2000 lbs.
In UKistan and colonies, a hundredweight is 112 lbs (insanity, wickedness) and a ton is 2240 lbs.

Internet tells me that" Why is an imperial ton 2240 lbs?
A long ton is defined as exactly 2,240 pounds. The long ton arises from the traditional British measurement system: A long ton is 20 long hundredweight (cwt), each of which is 8 stone (1 stone = 14 pounds). Thus, a long ton is 20 × 8 × 14 lb = 2,240 lb"
Okaaay, that makes no sense. The Brits must have been drunk when they declared that A hundred weight is 8 time our 'stone' measurement rather than 100 times our pound measurement.
The metric ton at least makes sense as 100 Kilograms.

When I was a kid in the early 80's, GE (Black & Decker) had a "Spacemaker" line of appliances. We had a 5" color TV mounted under the cabinet in the kitchen. That TV was always on because the Kitchen was HQ Central, of course.
I STILL have & use that TV today in my garage, hooked up to an over-the-air antenna, to watch the GRIT channel.

And I have enough metals to pay him off.
But I want a year.
He can through the court system. I want a year to get my life together. He can spend thousands trying to force a sale, which if he gives me a year, I'll buy him out.

1. Comic opera theater as a passel of Russian Deputy Ministers arrived in Istanbul for peace talks today, only to have Zelensky and company spend the day in Ankara striking heroic poses for the Western media. Perhaps tomorrow the Ukrainians will bother to show up.
2. After several days of startling advances, the Russians have been slowed in a few sectors as they approach anti-tank barriers set up at the borders of the oblast (province). This may allow the Russians to shelter before the barriers, which the Ukrainian s can't cross either, and divert troops to consolidating territory and collapsing a few pockets.

I read the Clarity Law that dictates what is necessary for a secession of a province. In short, the law should be called the Imprecision Law. Those bastards in Ottawa purposefully were vague in defining the terms. The House of Commons stated that the people of the province must show a "clear majority" (undefined) and a "clear will of the people" (undefined).
Which means they will define those terms to benefit themselves. Now, Alberta would, obviously and correctly, state a majority is anything above 50%. Which means there will be an impasse as Ottawa will, no doubt, state that "clear majority" means something else entirely. That means Court involvement simultaneous with negotiation of departure requirements. I hate to say it, but I suspect Ottawa will offer up a deal of Alberta continuing to pay into Canada's coffers well after any departure date.

The Canadian military has about 100 soldiers and 5,000 officers. They can be brushed aside.
If the Albertans can fight their way past the resident Red Chinese military, they'll be home free.

Nothing in the steel or aluminum business. None of the bulk castings can be measured or controlled that fine. Less than 5 lbs out of 2200 ? Fuck that. Everyone in charge and involved would simply be thrilled if no bulk castings were rejected. For impurities ... hollows ... and such.
The steel and aluminum industries employ the "Bakers Dozen" at a smaller scale. And always will. Now and again - somebody will try to invoke the third digit. They get taken to the floor and shown thats its an engineering miracle everything works to the first digit.

I got interested in how in Britain, a "hundredweight" became 112 lbs. Ultimately, it was the wool trade.
There was a concept of a "long hundred", 120, or six score, which is 6*20 = 12*10. This was not used for weights, but for item counts. Somehow in the wool trade, that "long hundred" as a count of some quantity of wool, set the weight standard as a "long hundred's" weight, which was ultimately defined as 112 lbs.

60 and 120 are "superior highly composite numbers" (you can look that up, the precise definition is complex), which have a hell of a lot of integer divisors. This is why 60 became the basis for angular divisions. 120, or "long hundred" was used for the same reason.
12, 60, 120, and 360 are all these superior numbers.

Bullshit.
When my MIL, whom I adored, was in the midst of an inheritance fight with her half her siblings, she often cornered me after Thor and I would go visit his cousins to ask if the sisters she was fighting with were talking about her behind her back.
I told her that the only negative thing I had ever heard about anyone in her family had come from her mouth, and that I didn't care to hear anything else, about anyone else, unless it was pleasant.

Those are 5/30 questions. I'm sure there will be a tweaking to existing meds and maybe something new (oh joy!).
But I was also told when my journey started 20 years ago that eventually my heart will no longer be viable due to scarring/damage. I was told that when that happens, it's time for a transplant. They won't do those, though, unless one is on death's door, which I'm (technically) not.
So the game plan, with the ICD and the meds, was to keep me stable for as long as possible. That's been the case so far. Maybe there's something they can do or maybe this is my new normal. Like I say, I'll find out in a couple of weeks. Can't worry about it 'cause I can't change it. Whatever will be will be, que sera sera. Or something like that. I'm pretty fatalistic at this point.

I need an upgrade or repair to my brain's GPU. I'm trying to visualize the complex precessions of the Moon's orbital plane relative to the ecliptic and the earth's spin axis. And throw the Moon's own spin axis in as well. This relates to the major-minor lunistice (standstill) cycle of 18.6 years.
So, I'm trying to mentally picture 4 little vectors precessing about, and at what points in the cycle they lie in the same plane and shit like that.

Hi Tammy!
Thank you so much for responding!
Probate is actually over. There's $260,000 in the bank.
My brother Steve wanted to come over immediately to take out his share. I mentioned the house. He said he didn't want to hold a mortgage and I told him no money was going to be released until my living situation is resolved.
The lawyer told him the best situation was if I bought him out. Sure.I just want a year to get my life together
Steve's sub human bitch wife wants everything now
They already got 100 grand, dug up their 250 in metals and if we can agree on the house, I'll release $90,000 to him

-
Yeh, the smell is definitely there.
However, in this case, the fact is technically correct. See this conversation I had with Grok:
https://tinyurl.com/3ujw6hzm
Technically he is a rabbi. Lots of people get valid ordinations as rabbis. It it mainly a knowledge test. I know lots of people who are ordained but never officiated as rabbis in their lives.
People like that who use or promote the title on anything other than a job resume are always suspicious in my mind. I do not see Friedman flaunting his title. It is mentioned in the last paragraph on his page at ECP's website:
https://tinyurl.com/bdz3aybt
Every one of the non-officiating rabbis I know or the ones who have left the rabbinate for another livelihood altogether, do not use their title on a daily basis. So far as I see, Friedman is no different in that respect.
With all that being said, this just looks like another case of a law office taking on the defense of the ugliest of clients to make a profit.

Right. The dude's own Time Magazine article says the guy has never worked as a rabbi.
"Even before his ordination in Jerusalem, however, he knew he wasn’t going to be a rabbi. "I didn't want to be ministering to people," he says. "If I wasn't buying what I was selling, no one else would buy it either." He decided instead to go to law school..."
I also found his "Unless Time Magazine is lying to us..." bit highly amusing.
When, in its entire publication history, has Time Magazine NOT lied to us?

And everyone loves multiples of ten. So it has been since we began sucking our fingers and toes.

But we're gonna' get 'em. We're going to rid our big, beautiful country of Tres y Tres y Tres. And the Liberals ? They don't want Tres y Tres y Tres.
I'm always asked "Donald, what about Tres y Tres y Tres". But never around Liberals. No, not Liberals. Because good people are scared of multiplication, let alone exponentials. But not me.
(Raises Hands) No America, not me. Because we're going to Make America Integer Again !!! For all the good, hardworking digits. Including the nines !!! And you'll get so tired of the simple fractions - but they won't stop. So much simple fractions. Big, beautiful fractions. The best fractions. Bigly.
Thank you. Thank you very much !!!

Its the Bush, Kennedy, and Rockefeller of primes. Might as well be a Morgan or Carnegie.
Its easy to be a prime when you're not born a one.

The issue isn't whether they were infallible. The issue is about the original understanding of the text they ratified. That text certainly didn't bar outlawing obscenity, and the understanding of obscenity wasn't anywhere as near narrow as it has become in contemporary law. If you want a different constitution, you should have to amend it, not get nine (five really) judges to reinterpret it to what they would have preferred the text to say. Pretending a right to porn is enshrines in the constitution is no different than pretending it prohibits criminalizing homosexuality and mandates the legality of gay marriage. There's no point in having a written document if you're going to adopt that kind of living constitutionalism.

Sorry you're going thru the Estate Troubles.
I'm rep of my Dad's estate (Mom long gone) and Dad had previously-- couple months before he died-- signed over a vacation property to older bro that was *supposed to be* shared. My other bro & I both witnessed him PROMISING Dad that he would share, just like when Dad owned it. Everybody had a key.
Oh, no-- bro decided *he* would not only dictate/severely limit everyone else's use of that property, but prevent entirely and he promptly changed the locks as soon as Dad died.
I had no trouble getting bro to sign an Estate Resolution Agreement (ALL us kids had to sign) that a-hole bro would receive nothing further from the estate. Now he can feel *justified* in keeping us out, but at least we don't have to give him a share of the house proceeds...
Ugh.

The issue is that I won't be bound, until death, by your understanding of that text. I didn't ratify shit.
Posted by: Mike Armstrong at May 16, 2025 03:02 AM (Dob0+)
Since Dad "quitclaimed" the property to him, the Cost Basis is what Mom & Dad originally paid. If Dad had simply let it go into the Estate, the Cost Basis would've been "current market value" at the time Dad passed...
In short: If bro ever decides to sell, he will get totally screwed on capital gain tax.
LMFAO!!!!!

Fuck off, Scogg. Bore someone else with your dumbass independent tough guy schtick.
Posted by: bear with asymmetrical balls at May 16, 2025 03:23 AM (TdYBy)
Then bore someone else with yours. This is always what it comes down to.
When you don't like the decision over-ruling your understanding of the contract - its a travesty. But when you do like the decison over-ruling popular will ? Its justice. Because then its in tune with "the Founders". And more importantly - it suits you.
See how this gets tedious ? Its like being in a Theocracy. A Founders Ocracy. On many things ... I simply do not care about Washington's or Franklin's opinion.

IOW, there is evidence to suggest that transgenderism is a mental health issue, evidenced by poor impulse control and bad anger management skills.
