Quote I "Unfortunately, it sounds like this is what that bear has potentially found under the homeowner's house in the crawlspace. It's unfortunate. We want to see the bears in the woods, not in people's homes." Cort Klopping, with CDFW.
Quote II “We support LGBTQ rights fully. This has nothing to do with identity. Providing powerful hormones to a person in a psychiatric crisis without proper psychiatric safeguards is not affirming care. It is reckless. In this case, it acted as an accelerant, intensifying instability, impairing judgment, and compounding risk.”Dustin Bailey

A Rescue Report from New Hampshire Tees Off on Two Lost Hikers
A recent report published by the state’s Fish and Game Department pulls no punches in its assessment of two hikers who got stuck on a mountain and required lifesaving The report of the mission passes more than a little judgment on the two hikers at the center of the ordeal. Here are a few highlights They lost their composure and would not listen to any advice being given to them.
The two were ill-equipped for a hike of this magnitude and had departed for a nearly 9-mile loop at 1:00 p.m.
They lacked appropriate clothing for a hike in the weather conditions they encountered and were navigating with a phone when they lost the trail.
Chris McKee, a conservation officer with the Fish and Game Department, shared a few more details about the hikers in a story with New Hampshire Public Radio. McKee said the two were wearing work boots, not hiking boots, and lacked the gear you might take on a night hike in winter, such as crampons, snowshoes, or functional lights. “These individuals just didn’t have the proper gear or experience to be out there hiking in this,” he said.

The 82nd was famously deployed in Western Europe.
But what do we *really* know about those other 99 missing divisions?
And how do we *really* know who died in those gas chambers? Maybe it was the 99 divisions? Maybe not? Who knows? But I think the patriotic thing is to at least ask.
And, how do we know those were actually German gas chambers that killed 99 divisions worth of brave American soldiers?

Grammatically speaking, the subject of the first clause is δόξα (“Glory”
and the subject of the second clause is εἰρήνη (“peace”. The contrasting locations are ἐν ὑψίστοις (“in the highest” and ἐπὶ γῆς (“on earth”, and the respective recipients θεῷ (“God” and ἀνθρώποις εὐδοκίας (“those [lit., the men/people] on whom his favor rests”.
Most modern English translations render the noun εὐδοκίας (literally, “of good pleasure”
as denoting an attribute of the recipients of peace rather than as a second subject on par with “peace.”Posted by: Braenyard - some Absent Friends are more equal than others _ at December 22, 2025 10:31 PM (imZqa)

One morning I go to look at the generator and see that it isn’t where I had placed it. I had an extended run fuel tank and hose connected too, everything was thrown around like discarded toys. The bear had chewed on the fuel hose, and nearly severed the extension cord. Turned out to be what I call a “teen” bear, not fully grown, though pretty good sized, not a cub or anything like that. Looked kind of ratty and disheveled with a little straw or grass in fur, wondered if it had been hibernating recently.

"and so far, he's not motivated to leave."
Well, then, how about you SHOOT HIM. Shoot him, then throw a rope around him and drag his carcass out. The homeowner can make a rug out of him. And eat a bunch of stew for the next 2 years. Probably give some to the local Indian tribe to make up for living on their stolen land or some such BS.

What’s interesting is how quickly The Narrative from the left can change. A new set of directives is issued, and the old ways are discarded, like they Never Happened.
All of the grooming faggotry was right on the heels of the “Stranger Danger” and “Mandatory Reporting” legislation. Pornography of any type is illegal for minors, but (somehow) is peachy keen for even toddlers if distributed in public schools?
I grew up in a fairly working class mixed ethnicity suburban neighborhood, mostly Democrat probably. There were disagreements about politics for sure, but one thing in common is if the school teachers tried that shit back then the parents would have roasted them over a spit on a bonfire.

Yes. I support "gender affirming care".
So if a male child (is convinced to) believes he is a female trapped in a male's body, he needs (psychiatric) gender affirming care, to persuade/show him ...
"No, you are a male in a male's body. Your "gender dysphoria" is due either to confusion as you go THROUGH puberty, and/or someone has been mind flucking you (flucking groomers) to make you believe you are actually a woman."

I did that sort of thing once. 2 dissolving stiches on the muscle and 7 to close it up, fortunately not across a joint, but right down where bone was visible. That was... ummmm... *uses fingers to count* ... 48 years ago, and the scar, though faint, is still visible.

One of the grandkids fell in some strange way, and cut his scalp. Everyone was going crazy, so Grandpa was summoned and I quickly identified the wound, improvised a bandage, put direct pressure and ice on it, and stopped the bleeding.
The panic subsided and my daughter said: "So now what? Does he need stiches?"
I said: "I have no idea. The military taught me to apply a dressing. What comes next is someone else's problem."

But if you bought at $17, you can buy three times as much food with the silver as you could have if you just held your dollars (including interest on those dollars).
I bought some around $17, not nearly enough. My miners have done well lately, but will probably have to sell those as well, maybe when silver almost hits $100.

Pretty much everything Tucker has said shades into what Trump and Vance have said. You are pissed because he contradicts what you think is essential to justify what you believe. You are ranting on, not because you disagree with Tucker but because you are afraid someone will listen to him and stop believing what you believe.
Let me say something: no one listens to Tucker because they care what he says. No one listens to Joe Rogan because they care what he says, either. People listen to them to hear what the people they interview have to say.
You are as pissed about Tucker "platforming" points of view that are contrary to yours. fine. Go listen to people who agree with you, your blood pressure will be lower.

I also learned those words do not mean "why hast thou forsaken me", but more like "for this purpose was I spared". God did not forsake His son, but he did sacrifice him for us.

Nope. I think.because everyone is very aware of pigs/trichinosis, so feral pig is cooked to a fare thee well. The fact that bears carry the parasite is not that high in public consciousness, so they get undercooked.

At about six years of age I'm standing barefoot next to a horse and she steps on my toe. She doesn't know that she's standing on my toe. Mom is there but doesn't know what to do. The men across the yard are yelling instructions but she's unsuccessful.
Finally, they come over and get her to pick up her hoof. It was a most unpleasant experience.

But we don’t have the NT in Aramaic but in Koine Greek. Certainly you can make a case that some of the Greek looks like the author was thinking in Aramaic and then writing it down in Koine. Also I think there were a lot of amanuenses who helped write down the text who may have had better mastery of Koine than the person dictating the text. The extent of their influence may explain why certain authors had better Greek in some of their writings than elsewhere. Of course Paul was well tutored and wrote good Greek.

My future ex husband and I took a backpacking trip up to Rampart Ridge in late spring. By the time we reached the ridge it was blizzard conditions and fog. Visibility was zip. We found a tree and pitched our tent for shelter.
Cooked some food, drank some Irish and listened to a Red Sox Mariners double header on the radio.
Saved us.
Woke the next morning early and could not see our footprints. Took put the topo map and the compass and headed downhill. Got kinda off the trail, but figured it out.
It was nice to get back to the truck and the heater and safely. Fun trip though. Will never forget.

It's not a traditional Christmas tree, but honestly, all I want to see on a tree is the ornaments, and with most trees in homes, about 3/4 of the tree is not viewable because they are usually set in a corner.
So years ago, I saw this in a catalog, and I Had.To.Have.It.
I still love it! Didn't put it up this year because of impending surgery, but we do try to put it up most years. We even ordered a taller one last year, but it didn't get to our house in time to put up, so we will have to wait until next year to see what it looks like 🎄🎄🎄

I have a Lamsa Bible ... somewhere. from wiki
"Some places in Lamsa's translation differ from the Greek texts used as the basis of other English-language Bibles.
Matthew 27:46
An example is found in Matthew Matthew 27:46, where Lamsa has "My God, my God, for this I was spared!" where the Greek text has "My God, my God why hast thou forsaken me?"
And about the ninth hour
Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying,
Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?
that is to say,
My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
This is rendered in Lamsa's translation:
And about the ninth hour,
Jesus cried out with a loud voice and said,
Eli, Eli lemana shabakthan!
My God, my God, for this I was spared!"

But it is easy to do. In my case there was a river in the area that I knew I could focus on if all else failed.
When I realized I was lost I just kept heading to the river, then followed it to pick up the trail again.

I wonder if some percentage of our oil is abiotic with most biotic in origin - I know there has been unexpected seepage back into some wells when the expected reserves in the area were exhausted and of course we've found hydrocarbons outside of the earth in the solar system that are likely abiotic but...to your point no one has made a real strike based on the abiotic theory yet

Banks are not your friend. They are not on your side.
What goes on is not their business nor the govts.
In ancient times, before computers and cross referenced book keeping along with sloppy govt work.
Families did not record deeds or such transactions.
They would be generationally passed on. Only concerned parties, buyer and seller, involved.

The big problem with abiogenic oil is where to put it. I don't doubt that at some great depths in the earth's mantle the physical and chemical conditions are ripe for elemental carbon to combine with the hydrogen in water to form hydrocarbons. Problem is, at those great depths, all rocks are somewhat plastic, like modeling clay, and the crystal grains deform or regrow to fill all available pore space. No pore space = no place to put the oil. So the carbon+water>hydrocarbon reaction wheezes to a halt, because chemical reactions stop when there is no more room for the products to escape.

I wonder if you could 3D print a pair of pants from some sort of soft flexible polymer like rayon? Legs, pockets, zipper, belt loops, everything. All one piece, no seams at all, no thread. When they are worn out, throw them in a special recycling bin at the store, and they are melted down, and formed into new filament for the printers.

Ex and I, hiking the piney woods, following a designated trail, little tin triangles. We are about an hour in and, and there are markers N, S, E, & W.
Some clown fixed it. OK, there's the sun. You know after a while all pine trees look alike.
Another hour, it's hot, the oranges are gone, more, there's got to be...wait I know this place, I feel it, it's like deja vu, Against the sun, the deliberate course and her objections, we go this way. Yes this is where we had out keggers. I know where I am.
Fifteen minutes later we're on a farm road, ten minutes later in the bed of a pickup being taxied to my ride. whew.

Aside from lava caves, which are near-surface, mostly, caves are found in limestone formations which have been above the water table at some time, and caverns formed by rainwater with a little dissolved CO2 (making it slightly acid) dissolving away limestone as it percolates through cracks. Those cavernous formations can later be deeply buried. There places in Alberta where Cretaceous shales and sands sit unconformably on Mississipian limestone which is riddled with caves and holes. Drill into that, and your well "takes a drink" as all the mud in the well rushes into voids in the limestone. On the other hand, if you hit a local high in the Mississipian, you might get a bonanza oil well.

Some of the sites had considerably more dust than others, enough blown around by the descent engine making visibility effectively zero, and the landing difficult. I think a couple Apollo commanders basically agreed compared with making night carrier landings on a heaving deck, the lunar module was a piece of cake. I think NASA was kind of spring loaded for selection of the Navy pilots for the program for a reason

Possibly, over eons, reservoirs could be refilled that way. Porosity is the fraction of the rock that is open space. Permeability is the connectivity between the open spaces. Source shales can have pretty high porosity, but the permeability is near-zero. That is where massive fracking can turn non-viable reservoir rocks into pay.

I was just reading about that Oklahoma Iron pot the other day for no particular reason. They found it embedded in a large lump of coal in the early 1900's. Recent testing on the cup...AND how it was found within the coal suggested the age was in excess of 300 Million years. Which promptly caused all the archeologists to suggest the description of the find was false, and the testing on the pot was unreliable.
I tend to think that archeologists are some of the most close minded in the science field. If it goes against their theories...then it must be a mistake by the other guy.

Most of the “anomalous artifacts” have been determined to be hoaxes or misconceptions. The “coso artifact” is very obviously a Model T spark plug, encrusted with some sort of accretion. I haven’t read of anything particularly compelling.
The coal seam stuff seems genuinely weird, and made the local newspapers, and usually had sworn statements from the foreman, things like that. “I, John T Breckinridge hereby attest that the aforementioned was found at a level of 1270 feet below ground in an unbroken seam and witnessed by 3 other blah blah blah”
A couple instances of people finding odd objects in lump coal purchased for stoves. Newspapers were full of stories of giant skeletons found in caves as well. The Injuns had quite a few tales about them. I’m not a “believer” but it is weird.

I'm convinced that the EEOC has ruined mens pants. To many damned women designers, with no personal experience to inform those designs.
The bottom of the zippers on waaay to many mens pants end above the top of the plumbing. Female clothing zippers just have to be long enough that the pant top opens sufficiently to get over the hips, so female designers don't consider other uses. I have a couple of pairs where I have to unbutton as well as pulling the zipper in order to lower the entire pant. Otherwise its like trying to siphon with a hose draped over the windowsill.

I always figured that lead-acid battery technology was tested to the limit on the Diesel boats. Exide had their theories and testing, but out in the Pacific, getting replacements had to be a problem.
How low can you deplete a battery? For how long? How fast can you charge them safely? When the life of the boat depends on the battery, and the battery tenders, people are dropping depth charges, all of the published specs are going to be looked at very critically.
At some point, they simply had to surface, and crank up those diesels and charge. Big problem. Dad said they could connect the battery bank in different ways (parallel/series) to get more speed, or get more endurance.
I always thought a Diesel boat would be great to have. A full load of fuel gives it a 10k mile range or something insane like that. Electrically, it could power a small town. If anybody gives you shit…
