Tactical Assault Dad Cafe
Giant Swords in Norway
Dogs and horses being best friends. Cat deals with a Phillies Karen who demands he give her his ball. Two big elephants go at it like tusked sumo wrestlers. This pomeranian thinks he's a badass and I think he's right. Below, Tactical Dad trains his kids to be elite Super-SWAT Commandos and he's not going easy on them, either.

My friends are home! This is the last night their cat Snowflake here. I'm giving them all of my cat stuff for their cats. I'll miss Snowflake but the cat hair, toys, cat tree, scratching posts, litter box and waking me up....not so much.
She's an outdoor cat but a crazy neighbour has a cat trap and removed her but she was located after 3 weeks. I took her in again. She's an amazingly beautiful cat but I have a life to rebuild.
And she was mostly an outside cat so this will hopefully be better for all.

Pumpkin spice is cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, clove.
The main spice in bratwurst is nutmeg.
Chinese five-spice is cinnamon, ginger, and clove (and Sichuan pepper and star anise.)

Posted by: JackStraw
The Steelers beat the Jets, because Jets. The Steelers defense stinks. The offensive line can't protect well enough to keep Rodgers upright for a season (he'll be out by game 5). The Ravens will win the division but still lose one game against the Steelers, for some reason. The Browns are terrible. The Bengals will have to outscore everyone. No defense either. Yesterday's game doesn't count, because they played Clevenland, who are cursed, apparently.

The age-old Gilligan’s Island debate: Ginger or Mary Ann? Beauty’s in the eye of the beholder, but let’s break it down with a nod to their iconic vibes.
Ginger Grant, played by Tina Louise, was the glamorous Hollywood starlet—think sultry, redheaded vixen with a wardrobe of slinky dresses and a seductive charm. She’s all about that old-school Tinseltown allure, with a side of dramatic flair. If you’re into bold, high-maintenance charisma, Ginger’s your gal.
Mary Ann Summers, played by Dawn Wells, was the wholesome, girl-next-door type—sweet, down-to-earth, with a ponytail and a knack for baking coconut cream pies. Her charm lies in her relatability and unpretentious warmth. If you vibe with approachable, natural beauty, Mary Ann’s got the edge.
Fan polls and pop culture chatter often lean slightly toward Mary Ann for her “relatable hotness,” with a 1993 USA Today poll famously showing 85% of fans picking her over Ginger. But Ginger’s got her die-hard fans for that bombshell energy. On X, the debate still pops off, with posts split between Ginger’s sultry mystique and Mary Ann’s classic charm.
So, who’s hotter? Depends on your flavor: high-glam diva or swe

Hey Grok: in a hypothetical Firecrotch Smackdown Battle Royale, who would win: Jen Psaki, Christina Hendricks, Ann-Margret, Isla Fisher, Lindsay Lohan, or Kirsten Dunst? And would the answer depend on whether wrestling singlets were worn, or whether it was a full-blown oiled-up classic Greco-Roman bout?
Posted by: Rodrigo Borgia at September 08, 2025 09:16 PM (qpyNK)
Runners-up: Lohan could pull an upset with her unpredictable flair, or Psaki if it's more about strategy than brawn (she'd form alliances and flip them like policy briefs).
Does the Attire Change the Outcome?
Absolutely, because wrestling is as much about spectacle and mechanics as skill. Let's variant this:

Oiled-Up Classic Greco-Roman Bout (Minimal Clothing, Lots of Oil): Oh boy, now we're in ancient Olympic territory—think shiny bodies, grabs, and throws where grip is everything (or nothing, thanks to the oil). This turns it into a slippery endurance fest, favoring those with core strength and adaptability. Isla Fisher takes it here: Her comedic timing and quick reflexes (honed from improv and action flicks) would let her slip out of holds like a greased eel, turning the oil into her ally for escapes and counters.

"Longbows generally offer greater accuracy and range, making them suitable for skilled archers, while shortbows are easier to handle and quicker to shoot, ideal for close combat. The choice depends on the situation and the archer's skill level."

Pomeranians used to be full size sled dogs (they still think they are!). Queen Victoria liked the look of them but wanted a lap dog. So, over her long lifetime, she bred them down to the size they are now. Something to watch for in the breed is bad knees, where the patella slips to the side. They can also be quite stubborn, but that can be an endearing quality too. They are also very long lived and can be loving and loyal to their masters.

From This vs. That:
Pigtail vs. Ponytail
What's the Difference?
Pigtail and ponytail are both hairstyles that involve gathering and securing hair at the back of the head. However, pigtail typically refers to two sections of hair that are braided or twisted and secured on either side of the head, while a ponytail is a single section of hair that is gathered and secured at the back of the head.

From the last thread, people were discussing the absolutely cratering decline in the media influence. But, that they still have enormous reach and power. At least with the Geritol set.
Here’s the thing. The greatest power the major media outlets had wasn’t the obvious bullshit they spewed. Arguably just as important, was the power they had not to report on a story. To suppress a big story.
If it wasn’t on NBC, it didn’t happen. This is the power of censorship.
They don’t have that any longer, there’s this thing called the Internet. We are the media now. We are the Reporters now. That’s why they are so hell bent on arresting people in the UK, it’s clearly being used as a trial run or proving ground. Orwell set “1984” there for a reason.
Years ago if something happened in Portland, Oregon, we didn’t hear about it in Des Moines. Ever. Unless it cracked into AP or UPI. Now? I can watch it live on my phone. We can compare notes. Talk amongst ourselves.

That is an astonishing confession. I doubt she realized what she was saying. “Our media partners”.
Yeah, that’s not how this is supposed to work. It illustrates so clearly the Press was captured long, long long ago.
But the New Media - meaning We The People, has been declared the Enemy. It’s amazing to watch.

I asked Grok. The response was very long so here's its summary:
9mm: Best for high capacity, lower recoil, affordability, and versatility. Ideal for general self-defense, law enforcement, and range shooting.
.45 ACP: Preferred for maximum stopping power and larger wound channels, but with lower capacity and higher recoil. Popular among enthusiasts and for specific self-defense scenarios.
Both are effective for self-defense with modern ammunition, and the choice often comes down to personal preference, firearm ergonomics, and intended use. If you have a specific context (e.g., concealed carry or home defense), let me know, and I can tailor the comparison further!
