Man asks AI: "If you were a human, how would you raise a child that doesn't become another broken adult?" AI: "I wouldn't follow the current educational system because the system is designed to raise obedient consumers." "Instead of processed food, I'd teach them to grow their own food... Instead of trusting pills, I'd show them how to listen to their body... and fix root causes." "I would teach them to question authority, to ask who profits from this information, and to recognise propaganda when it's packaged as normal." "I'd raise them with challenges and struggle because mental and physical muscles aren't built in comfort." "Most of all, I'd teach them to be sovereign in money, mind and body because the future won't be kind to the dependent."Not a single piece of bad advice there. ![]() A Chinese man went viral after spending almost an hour with his head stuck in a traffic light after crashing into it with an electric scooter. A shockingly bizarre traffic accident got a lot of attention on Chinese social media last month, when a young man driving an electric scooter crashed into a temporary traffic light in the city of Chengdu. Following the impact, the man’s head somehow became stuck inside the traffic light, and firefighters were called to free him from the unusual cage. That was easier said than done, however, as even the first responders spent around 40 minutes cutting away at the metal casing to safely release the man’s head. The man was then taken to a local hospital and made a full recovery, but he’ll have a much tougher time recovering from the hilarious online jokes the incident inspired.Video segment at the link The long history of bourbon production at Buffalo Trace Distillery has been connected to the Kentucky River — summed up as a blessing and curse by a plaque on the grounds. In the 1800s, long before the Buffalo Trace name was attached to the distillery, the river served as a floating highway to bring in grain and other production essentials and to transport barrels of whiskey to markets along the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. Even today, river water cools down production equipment. But the river flowing past the distillery flashed its destructive side in April. A massive flood, caused by days of unrelenting rain, sent the Kentucky River surging over its banks, inundating most of the 200-plus-acre distillery grounds on its main campus in Frankfort. Nearly every phase of production was impacted, as were several warehouses where whiskey is aged. *** Five months later, production at the distillery is back to normal, including of some of the most sought-after bourbons. Its lineup includes the namesake flagship brand, Buffalo Trace, as well as Eagle Rare, W.L. Weller and Blanton’s. Pappy Van Winkle bourbons are distilled and aged at Buffalo Trace while the Van Winkle family remains in control of the coveted brand. The distillery recently filled its 9 millionth barrel of bourbon since Prohibition, just two and a half years since filling the 8 millionth barrel. It has also introduced new whiskeys to its catalogue and is renovating a campus building into a cafe and events center.Check out the whole thing. Long article and some before/after photos. ----- Miller Brewing Co. owner Molson Coors names Rahul Goyal as new CEO "I’m ready to take on both the opportunities and the challenges ahead of us knowing that we have the brands, the people and the passion to deliver on our ambitions," Goyal said. "I recognize that we have a lot of work to do, and in the coming months I will share more on my vision for how we will drive growth and carry the legacy of this great company forward to reach new heights.”Hopefully, for the company's sake, the new guy has kept up with the marketing disasters of a competitor in the industry and will choose a different strategy. (from thisdayinmusic.com) Born on this date in 1930: American singer, songwriter and pianist Ray Charles. He is regarded as one of the most iconic and influential singers in history, and was often referred to by contemporaries as "The Genius". On this date in 1980: Bob Marley performed his final show at the Stanley Theater in Pittsburgh. Two days ahead of the concert, Marley had collapsed in New York’s Central Park while jogging. He was told to immediately cancel the rest of his US tour dates, but flew to Pittsburgh for one final appearance. Marley collapsed during the set and, just one year later, succumbed to an aggressive form of cancer ----- Also on this date, in 1977, Steely Dan released their sixth studio album - Aja. Number 73 on Apple Music's 100 Best List Donald Fagen and Walter Becker’s approach to recording had evolved from a fixed group of people playing a set of songs from start to finish to a piecemeal process in which they tried out multiple players for the same part until they found a satisfactory combination—all before doing it all over again on the next song. As sophisticated as the process was, Steely Dan never sounded as direct as they do on Aja. There’s the R&B of “Josie,” the bounce of “Black Cow,” and the fact that “Peg” felt like actual dance music rather than a dissertation on it. Really just an outstanding album. Give it a listen! Entire Aja album

I actually saw Ray Charles perform at a department store, Lazarus by name, in downtown Columbus way back in the 90's. Just a short set and it wasn't announced so everyone was very surprised. It was during the lunch hour - I think he was playing at the Ohio Theater that night. He was a tiny guy. Posted by: Tonypete at September 23, 2025 10:06 PM (cYBz/) 27

I always thought Ray Charles was older -- born in the early 1920s or something. Born in 1930 means he was only 31 when he had his "Hit the Road, Jack" single, and only about 36 when he sang "I Can't Stop Loving You."

A foster home has been found for the two poor Borzoi boys dumped in a shelter. The lady of the house is a vet tech, so they'll get good care. They're both suffering from severe flea infestations and neither one has any hair. Neither one is microchipped and we have no idea how old they are.

I like John Stossel and have read a book or two of his. About 12 years ago he was appearing somewhere in the Norfolk area and was on local radio in the morning plugging it. He sounded a little cranky and the host, Tony Macrini, noticed too, and proceeded to push his buttons some. It got quite rancorous, but was very funny live radio.

Had a restless night last night. Decided I didn't like the solution I had half-implemented for steering column lower support in the Avanti. Took it all out again today, and took the whole column out, separating it at the rag joint. Hmmm, those nuts weren't very tight, at all. And if there is any place that a guy should use self-locking nuts, the two bolts in a steering rag joint have to top the list.
With the steering column out of the way, access to work on other stuff is waay better. I made super-bright LED bulbs for the turn-signal telltales, and installed them. Huge improvement! Started messing with the pedal assembly for the cable throttle. I have mapped out where it has to go, and I will have to fab a small bracket for it. And I found another stupid Bubba trick. Fiberglass cars have to have lots of ground wires. So there was a white #10 ground wire running from the dash harness, through a hole in the firewall, and bolted to the brake booster. Which is bolted to the firewall, and the pedal hanger, which is bolted to the dash brace. So the dash was grounded to...itself.

Have long long believed that durable simple well-made easily repairable consumer big-ticket products have a large (and currently completely unserved) market.
Isn't some car company about to make a simple no-frills pick-up truck? Have a 15-year+ old gas grill that's going strong. Replaceable key components (flame bars, synthetic briquets and their racks). Gas knobs/igniters (original) still work fine. (BBQs Galore house line, Capt. Cook) Grates are beautiful and would last a century. I despise crap that doesn't last. And can confirm that as recently as 30 years ago, stuff was made right - have now replaced all the kitchen appliances, and they were bought in 1990.

Global Warming and the Carbon Footprint. It's a con job.
At extreme cost and expense Europe reduced its own carbon footprint by 37%. Think about that; great job, Europe! But you cost yourself a lot of jobs, a lot of factories closed, but you reduced by 37% but it's been totally wiped out and then some by a global increase of 54%, much of it from China which now produces more CO2 than all the other developed nations in the world. So all these countries are working so hard on their carbon footprint, which is nonsense by the way. -Trump at UN 43:00ish Posted by: scottst at September 23, 2025 10:55 PM (1dqDL) 206

I've told this story before. I got a low-flow washing machine ONLY because it was recommended by Consumer Reports (bah) and I thought I'd save a little money on water. It ate my clothes. My mother, who is a force of nature, forced them to take it back. She told them to deliver one that didn't have "a brain." The worn-down representative told her you can't find appliances without "electronics" these days. When the guy came to install the new, different model, I asked him where I could get a washing machine that didn't have a brain.

AOP-
You should run that ground to the left rear tail light, over to the right tail light and back up front for a rally good ground. That's what you call a 'Circuit' Posted by: DBCooper at September 23, 2025 11:14 PM (p6tgw) Heh! In fact the left rear tail light has a bad ground, as does the right front park/signal socket. Mission creep, once more. For my steering column lower brace, I am going to cut out an oblong of heavy-gauge body metal, drill a 2 1/8" hole in it for the column tube, and slip it on over the tube. Reinstall the column to the rag joint and the dash brace, bolt the steel plate to the firewall, and tack weld it to the column jacket. Take it out again, do a nice fillet weld, paint it up nice, and bolt 'er in. Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at September 23, 2025 11:20 PM (hA1Nw) 260

Today I pressed and canned 9 quarts of grape juice. The Concords are ripe and since I started pruning them back severely they are putting out more fruit than ever. I am sad that I now have more grapes than I have jars.
I have been having trouble with my fruit dryer, the pears I did last batch molded even though the temperature was up about right. This time I tried "sulfuring" the fruit, I burned a smidgen of sulfur and salt peter in the fruit dryer after I loaded it with sliced pears. It is keeping the fruit from browning as the old books say it will, and it seems to be keeping the mold at bay too. Posted by: Kindltot at September 23, 2025 11:23 PM (rbvCR) 263

I imagine the Sabaton guys are right-wing, just because they sing about history. And leftists don't accept any history from before yesterday.
Posted by: mikeski at September 23, 2025 11:16 PM (nhCoE) They're from sweden, don't bet on it. On the surface you would be right, but as I have noticed over the years, the metal musicians are not the trench fighters they were in the past. I have been surprised a little too much over the last 20 years by dudes who I thought would be normal but ended up being of the body. The old guard is ok, but the newer generations are a crap shoot. The european bands seem to like their "Social" freebies. I spent enough time with enough of them to see that. I wouldn't say they are leftists like the dicknose mofos we got here, but I wouldn't say they were to right of Attila the Hun like my generation of headbangers are.

Posted by: NemoMeImpuneLacessit at September 23, 2025 11:28 PM (SEFV4) ______________________________ Definitely cider was the drink of choice back then. And, sure enough, apples were the catalyst. But, don't forget about the rum. Blackbeard (Edward Teach) and William Kidd had connections (and family) in Philadelphia and New England, and somehow rum became rather popular in both those areas.

This whole Rapture thing came from some Tik Tok viral thing due to some South African preacher claiming Christ appeared to him in a vision. That's all it was. I though it might be some of these wild numerological things prophecy types do from time time, numerology of Old Testament stuff (70 weeks of Daniel) mixed in with Jewish Calendar stuff plus other numerological stuff. They always come up with Rosh Hashanah, and I though it was another one of those. There have been many of those over the years.

She forgave him.” “That is an example we should follow.” [Applause] “If you believe in the teachings of Jesus, as I do, there it was. That’s… that’s it. A selfless act of grace, forgiveness from a grieving widow.” “It touched me deeply, and… I hope it… I hope it touches many, and if there’s anything we should take from this tragedy to carry forward, I hope it can be that, and not this.” Posted by: Mister Ghost at September 24, 2025 01:03 AM (TGPs7) 415

AOP, you would be largely correct that doo-wop singers did every part of the song, even the instrumental sections. That's because the bands were oftentimes made up of *really* poor kids who couldn't even afford to hire additional musicians for their recording sessions.

We know from the Bible that Jesus is coming when we don’t expect Him, so if you think you have a heads up, that’s got to be wrong! The point is to be ready whenever He comes. Be like the wise virgins and keep your lamp oil well supplied, so you’re not left in the dark when your oil runs out!

From what I understand, Jesus finally said at one point, "Look guys, even *I* don't know when I'm coming back. Only my Father knows for sure. He hasn't told me yet."
So... anyone who claims to know when the Rapture will occur, is claiming to know more about it than Christ. Posted by: qdpsteve at September 24, 2025 01:18 AM (/p+XQ) 445

Posted by: Don in SoCo at September 24, 2025 01:37 AM (2Va6r) There is a lot to be said for that. I spent decades playing. Covid pretty much killed the last band I was involved in. A friend of mine is a stellar bass player who was in some of the bands I was in. He comes over every saturday night and we just play. I swear we sometimes have more fun than when we gigged. The funny part, my comment about Mrs B above sleeping through this shit. A few weeks ago she passed out on the living room couch. I have serious guitar and bass amps in the family room, and the bass player showed up late, around 10pm. We hammered for almost 3 hours. The next day she asks "did he ever show up, did you guys play?

Our immune systems depend on some minimal levels of interaction with others. A healthy immune system routinely fights off bugs, an immune system that sees too few bugs can't calibrate and may even lead to autoimmune disorders. I would argue mask mandates make the population sicker and more isolated psychologically, which is bad, unless you're into that sort of thing.

We kinda got our start playing outside during the worst of COVID. We were a very low-budget band at the time, so we played a lot while most were not. The day they started the lockdowns, we were scheduled to play at an Irish pub in Pueblo, but that was our only COVID cancellation (except when WE got sick).

Coof was bad when it first arrived, I'll grant that much. Nobody's immune system had encountered it before.
Of course it didn't take long to mutate into a less harmful strain; enough people had already been exposed and became immune even *before* the clotshot was marketed. I may or may not have had Coof. Never tested, so can't be sure, but I did get some sort of respiratory crud that put me down for a few days in 2023. Might have been seasonal allergies though. Who knows?
