53 Shitty court day today.

1. Supreme Court TdA 7-2 ruling. The only out ito quickly deport these fuckers is to use some other "lawful means".

2 Karen Read trial. Incredibly biased Judge Bev is allowing changed, new, Commonwealth expert reports sent to the defense May 8 but received by them May 11th, three weeks into the actual trial. The changes shift the CW bullshit timeline midstream, changing their theory of the case. The defense has already cross examined witnesses, calling into question CW claims. Judge Bev allows the CW to modify whatever it wants, but locked the defense's experts (ARCCA) to their original testimony from the first trial.

In spite of this, KR will be acquitted, or the jury will be hung. There were at least three jurors openly derisive towards the prosecution. One reporter described one jurir as having "resting smirk face".

I don't know if Tannerite is sold here in Canada, but if I wanted to blow up a stump at my AZ place, I would drill a hole into it, pack the hole with Tannerite, and use a soldering iron to set off some percussion caps embedded in the Tannerite. Put it on a long extension cord, and plug in from far away. And wait for the kaboom.

97 The fire presumably won't penetrate to the depth where the line is buried. Stump grinders can be very aggressive, and hard to control.
Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon

Nah. They're coarse, but the depth is very controllable, unless you're using one of those had-held type thing that beat the hell out of you.
Also, unless that electrical line was laid in by a "after market" contractor (read that as a shitty electrician), you'll hit conduit first.

In a normal market, it's a useful measure.

In a really skewed market, it's a way to lie with statistics.

If there are 101 homes for sale in the City of Townsville, and 51 are burnt-out foreclosures selling for $1, and the other 50 are palatial mansions selling for $50 million, then the average price is about $25 million, but the median price is only $1.

2. The Russians appear to have a fair sized foothold across the river in the south by Kherson. It will be a very big deal if the Ukrainians can't muster the resources to push them back.
3. The Russians have a new top general, who previously oversaw some of most successful campaigns in the southeast sector.

276 Well according to some NJ outlet the idiot congressthing that assaulted federal LE at the NJ detention facility will in fact be charged. No idea whether this is accurate, but we'll know soon enough.

If no charges occur, I demand an opportunity to discipline the relevant US attorney, Alina Habba, over her dereliction. I'm thinking a few weeks in an isolated tropical location for earnest remonstrations and perhaps other actions would suffice.

The only ways for third parties to "throw the bum out" are assassination or impeachment.

Impeachment takes half the house and 2/3 of the Senate. Anyone think that's in the cards right now? Bueller?

So, it's a call for assassination.

But it could be taken to mean that by some retarded Leftoid. We had plenty of references to organized crime using the term "86" to mean "get rid of, permanently".

If Comey wants Trump removed legally, his only recourse is "impeach 47".

291 mikeski,

I don't think Comey's post rises to the level of a true threat.

Trump's quote on Jan. 6th, "We fight like hell. And if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore." is likewise clearly not a true threat or incitement.

I don't want to give an increasingly unhinged Left ammo to criminalize 1st Amendment protected speech for when they eventually get back into power.

Doesn't seem there are any outside factors that would force them off this formula.

Meanwhile, it's reported that Syrian currency will now be printed in Germany and the UAE, not Russia. FWIW. Also reported - but puzzling - that the UAE will be taking over Russian bases in Syria.

327 Well, I talked myself out of a parts sale today. Guy needed some automatic transmission parts for a '57 Golden Hawk. I had several of those Flightomatic transmissions on hand, so he came by for a look-see. We opened one up, and the front pump was different, also the valve body. I said, "I know who to call", and put in a call to a buddy in Edmonton. He had a short-tail Flightomatic sitting in his yard for 50 bucks, so I sent the guy up to him.

Better he gets the right parts, than try to make do with wrong ones. I spent the rest of the afternoon tearing the long-tail transmission down to save some hard parts, as some parts were too far gone to make rebuilding it an option.

In my defense, I did use the qualifier 'Dems'. And look to whom I compared him. In that basic biological sense, he's XY looking for XX. And in Democratland, that makes him a heretic. So he had to go. Burn the witch! Or something.

340 For day to day coverage of the Ukraine war, I recommend the "Military Summary" channel on EweTube and Rumble. Dima, the host, works out of Belarus, and produces videos twice a day which average 20 minutes each. He has pro-Russian opinions, and does plenty of armchair general-ing, but he carefully plots out who is advancing and retreating in an evenhanded manner.

343 Always wanted a Golden Hawk, but settled for a '60 Silver... that would have been '64. Peppy little thing for the time, and low enough that it cornered much better than 90% of American iron.

347 Hi, Debby!

Jello shots? Yes, please, Miklos-- but only *one*

I gotsta get used to getting up at reasonable hours, now that summer is near. Way behind on the yardwork & it gets too warm for me quite early.

351 Bro-in-law showed up Tuesday afternoon, wanting to visit hubby and see how he's doing.

Great! They were happy to see each other!

Of course, it wasn't *that* simple... BIL needed help fixing his 5th wheel trailer. He lives in it & is a snowbird between West Coast and AZ. He's broke, naturally, at 70 years old and always been on SSI or whatever. (He's deaf)

Oh Lordy, this week has been a grind! LOL

Speaking of the weather, it was a bit oppressive this afternoon. The weather chicken entrail readers said this would likely be the hottest day of the year so far. For me, it topped out at 86.4F. The hottest day turned out to be April 5th, at 86.7F. Some neighbors were about the same, April 5th being the hottest.

The dew point however, hit 76F, and that made it
muggy, with the "real feel" of 95F, which was indeed the highest of the year to date.

And, being the whimpy thing I am, I've had the A/C on for a while now.

Looking at my weather station data sort of makes me sad now. I've just got a year's worth of data. My late cousin (who dropped dead Dec 13, due to sudden cardiac "event" -- but I'm sure what the real likely cause was), was going to run something once I had a year's worth of data.

It was some sort of spot local forecast thing, I forget exactly, but he was looking forward to doing it for us right here locally. IIRC, it had to do with modifying the "wide forecast" based on all the forecast data, to the local station. It would allow one to predict daily highs and lows relative to the larger forecast. He had developed that particular method, and was interested in seeing how well it performed here.

Only thing the station doesn't have is cloud cover data, but he was going to calculate that based on the solar radiation data.

356 BIL left this morning, after I fixed a few issues for him/his trailer. Maybe not in the *correct* ways, but just got things sealed & reattached well enough to last a little while.

He can't afford to fix all the problems, but we "put out the fires" and got him back on the road, to seek other arrangements.

Lucky me! Hubby said BIL was angling to camp out at our place (indefinitely) for some expense-free living, like he's done to hubby/XW in the past.

When I told hubs that BIL was gone after 2.5 days, he said: "Wow! Good job!"

And I got one of my air compressors back online today. Cheap Chicom belt stretched and slipped and had to get a new one. I got a bit wistful about that. Daddy would've been proud of me. He bought that compressor in the mid-70s. I was just a little kid.

Now, it's basically just the pressure tank original, I replaced the motor and the pump itself back in the mid-2000s. The new pump and motor are probably a little less than 20 years old. The old pump lasted about 30 years.

Second compressor, which I run together, is the same model, probably around the laste '70s. A neighbor, long since departed gave it to me back in the late '90s. And I've kept them both running all this time. Daddy taught me well.

I felt a 7.2 back in 2010...Oh, you mean the list...
I've had...
#1 (long time ago...everybody's life intersects so many other lives, and each of those have complicated relations with others)
#2: Looking into my wife's eyes while we were dating...in a good way. I could see how much she loved me in those eyes...hard to exactly explain, but I feel it in my memory more than 27 years later. (Friday would have been her 57th birthday)
#3: yup
#4: no. As I told someone, If I could go in the past, I'd eff it up in entirely new ways, and a few old ones.
#6 maybe: I can hear my heartbeat sometimes and sometimes feel it as well. I've gotten used to it, including feeling when I get long-beats--feels like a missed beat...which used to be unsettling, but hey, you get used to things.
#7: yeah, had that. COVID was good for that feeling
#8: sometimes you just want to be left alone.
#9: a few times. I lose those arguments in the end...
#13: In the past, yes, but now, I don't think I want to know how it turns out.
#23: occasionally. Other's perspectives are formed by their intellect, environment, and situations.

372 Romeo13--

Hubby was the "successful" sibling (parents gone now) and too kindhearted for his own good.

His "lil bro" was always a bit of a sponge until marrying 30 years ago.
Unfortunately, his wife died last year & he's back to his *Poor Helpless Me* ways.

I hardly know the dude. Only met him on a couple of occasions over the last 20-odd years and had no idea how dependent he was on any/every one else.

Well, I'm not easy to steamroll. Been screwed over too many times & I know a sob-story when I hear it.

But BIL *is* family after all, so I helped him as best I could. Turned some wrenches. Washed his clothes & let him shower here. Gave him food & supplies and a very small amount of cash. And a hug.

Every situation is different... the key is to be able to feel good about yourself, without destroying yourself.

I've sadly learned that dysfunction can be contagious... it you are not careful, dysfunctional people you let into your life, can destroy your life.

The key is IF they are dysfunctional, to acknowledge it... to allow for it... and thus, protect yourself.
