Look AT Me, I'm ONT
Welcome to the MLB trade deadline ONT. In case you missed it, earlier there were some pretty intense trade discussions between the Blue Jays and the Cardinals.
Well, That's Horrifying
Baby girl grows ‘micropenis’ after lying on her dad’s chestA baby girl in Sweden reportedly sprouted a “micropenis” after lying on her father’s bare chest — turning a tender bonding moment into a bizarre biological blunder.The baby's skin absorbed the hormone, and her genitals began to change. Yikes!
And she’s not the only one. A Swedish doctor is sounding the alarm, warning she’s seen at least half a dozen similar cases in children.
Here’s what you need to know to make sure your child isn’t next.
Often referred to as “kangaroo care,” skin-to-skin contact is a common practice used to strengthen the bond between newborns and parents while supporting healthy early development.
But in this case, that sweet ritual took a strange turn.
After her birth, the Swedish baby girl was repeatedly placed on her father’s bare chest — the same area where he had applied testosterone gel.
No Nice Things The Primary Reason People in Blue States Can't Have Nice Things
The late, great conservative humorist P.J. O'Rourke said of socialism, "To grasp the true meaning of socialism, imagine a world where everything is designed by the post office, even the sleaze." P.J. hated socialism because no one was in charge of anything. The "government" rarely "governed" anything except that which could be manipulated into benefitting the governing elite. The rest was farmed out to the "non-profit/industrial complex," which doesn't care about maintaining what it's managing because there's no incentive to do so.Hint: It's the lack of accountability.
Think about Zohran Mamnani's "government-run grocery stores." Chicago "studied" the matter, paying a non-profit group that paid a for-profit consultant company, which determined it wouldn't work.
The only "city-run" grocery store in the country is in Kansas City. The problem is that it's not run by the city. It's run by a for-profit subsidiary that needs gobs of cash from the city to stay open.

News From The World Of Archaeology A New Statue Suddenly Appeared on Easter Island.
Just when experts thought they knew every moai on Rapa Nui, otherwise known as Easter Island, a dried-up lakebed kept them on their toes. These statues—largely made of a stone formed from volcanic ash and dust called tuff—pepper the island, with more than 1,000 already found and logged.Huh. I would have thought they'd have found them all by now. The Shopping Cart Question Why Don't People Return Their Shopping Carts?
Finding a new one came as a surprise. And a bit of a mystery.
“We think we know all the moai, but then a new one turns up, a new discovery, and in this case, in the lake, at the statue quarry,” Terry Hunt, professor of archeology at the University of Arizona, told Good Morning America. “There have been no moai found in the dry bed or in what was previously a lake, so this is a first.”
While some supermarkets are better than others, it's probably not unusual to find a few stray shopping carts littering the parking lot to the dismay of shoppers who may think that a parking spot is open, only to find that it's actually being used by a shopping cart. It seems like a basic courtesy to others: you get a cart at the supermarket, you use it to get your groceries and bring them to your vehicle, and then you return it for others to use. And yet, it's not uncommon for many people to ignore the cart receptacle entirely and leave their carts next to their cars or parked haphazardly on medians. During peak hours, it can mean bedlam. Where does this disregard come from?So, where do you fall? I always take my buggy to the buggy corral.
Some supermarkets have tried to make this relatively easy: they have cart receptacles throughout the parking lot, a cart attendant to bring the carts back to the store, and some may even rely on a cart "rental" system where you pay for the cart and are reimbursed when it's returned.
The Dumbest Thing You Will Read All Week
11 Habits That Are Normal In Working-Class Homes But Confuse Wealthy People
While the middle class itself may be shrinking, as a study from the Pew Research Center suggests, the habits, behaviors, and mentalities of adults who grew up in middle-class households are still prevalent. From the way they manage money to how they interact with others and even fill their free time, there are a number of habits that are normal in working-class homes but confuse wealthy people.At least, Jeeves told me it was dumb when he read it for me. Tonight's ONT has been brought to you by Gimmigrants:
While the hobbies, habits, and routines of the middle class may not be intrinsically associated with money, they are founded on something that’s impossible to untie from a person’s financial wellbeing: choice. When you have money, you have the choice to spend your free time and energy how you want, but in many cases, middle-class people must make compromises and develop their routines around non-negotiables.

Yeah, cooling off this weekend and into the next week is gonna be welcome. GSP set the record for most consecutive 90F+ days, breaking 38 days set in '93. It's at 41 now, and likely will hit 90F again tomorrow.
Note this is consecutive days. I don't think we'll come anywhere close to the record total number of 90F days in a calendar year this year.
Locally, I didn't get that many consecutive days, because on the 10th, it was a bit cooler and didn't get but to 88F.

____________________________
I'm still physically in decent shape, and part of that is parking purposefully deep in the lot, and walking my cart all the way back to the store.
I'm, also, a crude, deliberate jackass, so if I see someone leaving a cart in the lot without a care in the world, I'll get their attention, point at the cart, and shrug with an eyeroll. They usually leave anyway, but now they have to think about that tall goof at the grocery store and hope they don't run into him again on their next trip.

Fortunately I can steal one from the replacement tongue jack, but online I discover that it is a 5 buck part, so I am torn to whether I cannibalize a new jack I have no other use for, or buy one and keep the jack for a spare.
I will probably do both.
Oh, I also bought replacement handles for my wheel barrow and discovered it was for a different model so I had to drill extra holes, and now I need different bolts.

It's not really that hard to understand. Trump was something of a joke to a LOT of the so-called hip writers of that generation. They saw him as a small minded playboy.

The T-gel story is a known horror case among studious anti-trans activists. Testosterone gel is poisonous to children and pets and also other humans. Some vicious trans people were threatening to put it or actually putting it on paper towels in high school bathrooms to make the girls grow whiskers and such. . A couple of babies have wound up in emergency rooms because of it.

After I park out in the boonies and as I walk to the store entrance, I'll take one, maybe two stray carts with me. When I'm through loading the vehicle, I'll take the cart I used, plus maybe another along the path with me to the store's entrance so other customers can use them.
Its a simple way to get steps in by returning the cart, and taking two is no big deal.

Another thing that pisses me off with the cart corrals is people who just haphazardly leave them there, and don't properly push them into the stack. Still better than leaving them out.
For instance, they don't stack them, and that reduces the number that will fit.
Now, it's the store's responsibility to not let the corrals get full, and some of them slack on that.

So we’d get a lot of people who didn’t really care how fast they went through the neighborhood, or around that curve.
A few wrecks happened on the street but mostly it was people over correcting on the curve after going in too fast and landing in our yard.
Sometimes they hit our mailbox first before going in the yard.
So my dad and brother come up with a plan to make the entire mailbox out of quarter-inch wall square tubular steel and plant that sucker about four feet into the ground with concrete to fill the hole. The entire thing probably weighed 500 lbs.
A drunk lady drove into it one Saturday morning, then into the yard.
Knocked the mailbox over but it just had some paint scuffing. Her car was bashed in like the dude’s in the bollard video above.
She told me Dad, “You’re mailbox messed up my car, you need to pay for the damage!”
“Are you out of your mind, lady? You drove into it not me.”
That mailbox also had the honor of ringing many an idiot’s bell who played mailbox baseball with it.

And, all those ingrates running around with their smart phone cameras snooping. That used to be called voyeurism. It was generally frowned upon, and sometimes included law enforcement.

Heh. Taking them off the store premises is technically theft, but it never gets prosecuted. An idea occurs to me. Task some cops to patrol roads in areas where lots of carts go walkabout, and have them apprehend the culprits, and offer them a deal: "you are in possession of stolen property, and we could throw your ass in jail. You don't want to go to jail, do you? Well, right here, we have a Bill of Sale signed by the manager of that store, for one shopping cart, $150. Pay up the hundred and fifty, and you can keep[/i[ the shopping cart. It's your's now. Paint it any color you like, and put your name on it."

Worst land whale in a scooter thing I saw was a few years ago. This Lizzo class woman was in one of those. Her girth was such the wads of lard were pressed up against basket. This included ginormous larded boobs sort of spilling over the top of the basket.
She had a full basket and the stuff was overflowing into the cleavage of those lard bags.

Same with the illegals. Harris wins, it's all over, we're overrun and bankrupt.

As a kid in the '70s, I remember how the grocery stores did it then. The shopping carts were in store only. They had a crew of bag boys (which included the manager when business was heavy) who had their own hand truck-like affairs. They bagged up your groceries in big bown paper bags, and loaded them up on those hand truck like things. It also a fold down thingy with little wheels in case the customer had something big.
And they took that out to your car and loaded it in the trunk for you.

Only thanks to Pallywood. And its Western media mouthpieces.
I also think people really aren't used to seeing the results of actual urban war and it shocks them. It's bloody and brutal, moreso when the enemy uses its own as shields, especially the kids, which they/our media then capitalize upon for eyeballs/propaganda.

I was looking for some pictures of those old type of bag boy carts. One term is "carry-out" cart, but the examples I've found don't look these.
These I remember were basically hand trucks, with two baskets for the grocery bags. It has a contraption that folded up somehow in normal use. To use it you pulled it out and down, and then it make a 4 wheel type of dolly.

Nope. Special Counsels submit a report to their boss, the DOJ. It's ultimately up to the DOJ what is released to Congress and us.
Durham's report was submitted in 2023. Garland was technically the AG but Lisa Monaco was Obama's plant.

No. You are completely wrong.
An AG may demand an explanation from a SC. An AG may decline a recommendation of any action from a SC. An AG may fire an SC.
An AG may not command an SC to redact 30 paragraphs from a report.
And a deputy AG can't do any of that stuff.

That's just not true. It didn't happen that long ago so you probably remember the left lost their shit when Barr redacted parts of Mueller's report. They went on tirades about it for weeks and of course the media amplified it constantly so it was hard to miss. He was a Special Counsel just like Durham, no more powers and no less. It's the exact same rule even if the reasoning was different. The DOJ gets the final say as to what is released.
They both worked for the DOJ. That's who hired them.
And even if that wasn't true it's a bit ironic to argue that the Deputy AG can't do stuff when we are talking about an entire administration starting with President Obama who couldn't do stuff but he did it anyway. If that wasn't the case we wouldn't be talking about all of this right now.

Palantir is the hot stock right now so if you jumped in at 25.00 and it's now 160.00, you've made quite a tidy sum.
And typically the signs of a bubble bursting are not too hard to spot.

No. Go read the law.
I'm not putting cash on the barrel head to make you do your research.
Anytime a SC investigation wraps out, DoJ is *required* to report any time it overruled the Counsel during the course of his investigation.
Just because you like Durham for whatever reason doesn't mean that he was forced to secretly redact his findings.
He can choose to. But no AG (or random, lowly subordinate deputy) can force the issue.
Durham did so because he wanted to. Not because he had to.

Nah, man. You just don't get it.
A SC declined to commit a report to Congress, under pressure from a powerful woman who he has no legal requirement to answer to.
But he only did it because a previous corrupt SC pressured a previous corrupt AG - both of whom were no longer employed by DoJ and had no authority over him, either.
But it's not because he's corrupt.

Weather has been fine here for several days. Got some more mowing done; the grass has been growing like weeds. Possibly because it is mostly weeds.
Had a funny thing happen today. I had a big metal table outside, that I had made by welding banquet table legs onto some panels of commercial steel shelving. It was covered in various car parts, waiting to be put away. Well, I ran into it today, with the golf cart. And it collapsed so gracefully, like a parallelogram, that most of the stuff on it just stayed there. Only a few things on the far edge fell onto the ground. I picked up everything, put it in cartons, upended the table, and got the bent tubes back in their sockets. But I am going to weld the hinged legs up solid, and make it a non-folding table evermore.

Yeah, but even if you take out the data centers - demand is going up. To me, the data centers aren’t the problem - the steadfast refusal to add supply IS. Not to mention, the government doing everything possible to prevent the addition of supply.
Let’s add supply! Make everyone happy.

I read a good article on this a while back. Back in the Before Time, we had leaders, govt and industry who looked to the future. California was an example. They had leaders who realized, hey we're going to grow big time, and we're gonna need power, water, this and that. They planned for that decades ahead. And now, we live with the fruits of that, and its taken for granted.
Germany was another example. Back in the '70s they forecast what their power needs would be well into the future, up to about now. They were going to build nuclear plants to handle it.
Then the anti-nuke and green shit came along, and all that was scrapped and they're in the mess they are now.
To a large degree, we're just coasting on what the visionaries of the past built. We haven't been continuing that forward building, and all that stuff is now coming to the end of its useful life.

_ Tulsi Gabbard CONFIRMS That ‘Operation Mockingbird’ is STILL Ongoing inside the CIA and she is actively trying to Shut it Down.
Tulsi says Deep State intel agents are still actively colluding with left-wing media outlets to attack President Trump from within:
“There are people in the intelligence community who believe their will is more important than the will of the American people.”
“They weaponize intelligence by leaking it to their friends in the media with the intent of undermining President Trump’s agenda.”

Getting rid of junk is endless. I had a nice 30 yard container here when they did the roof and siding. I couldn't put a damn thing in it because by the time they were done it was filled to the brim. I got hit with an extra $550 overweight charge because it weighed 9 tons. 9 frigging tons. $1250 total for a container I couldn't dump an ashtray in. I'm still pissed. I have to make runs to the dump instead.

The T-gel story is a known horror case among studious anti-trans activists. Testosterone gel is poisonous to children and pets and also other humans. Some vicious trans people were threatening to put it or actually putting it on paper towels in high school bathrooms to make the girls grow whiskers and such. . A couple of babies have wound up in emergency rooms because of it.

Ok this is awful.

There are places where it costs more to transport natural gas than it is worth. Supply bottlenecks and a excess of gas because of the rate of oil production.
Maybe locate those data centers in Canada where it's also easy to run efficient refrigeration cycles due to the climate.
You would need to build out the fiber optic ring out from Chicago to Seattle or put in a major trunk line from one of the northern states.
Essentially your converting uneconomical natural gas that is burnt (releasing it's carbon!!!) to billable tera bits per second data rates.

Hubs & I rented a 10yd roll-off when we reroofed, 20 years ago. Old shingles didn't fill it, so we did some major cleanup 'out back'. What a relief! Didn't need to hoist the junk into a truck and then shove it out later-- just get it into the dumpster which had a side-entry as well as the top opening.
Can't remember exactly what we paid.. there was a daily charge, plus drop off/pick up that we paid to the driver. Another bill came later, for actual yardage. Think total was around $300?
