Animals making unexpected noises. The cheetah meowing like a housecat is nice. So is the shoebill making machine-gun noises.

Dog thinks he's a beaver.


Timelapse volcano.

Using a dam's spillway (which lets water which would overtop the damn out in a controlled way) as a waterslide. This seems incredibly dangerous to me.

Aquaman and Mera hanging out on the beach.

"Art" is fake and gay. The evidence.

Target: acquired.

Kamala Harris's dusty cooter.

Parts of the country will be experiencing this bullshit:

9 In 2019, German Defense Minister Ursula van der Leyen, yes that Ursula, wanted to flip 10 A.400M Atlas transports Germany had agreed to buy and turn them into a multi-national airlift wing based at Lechfeld.

The idea died due to lack of interest.

Years ago there was a German performance 'artist' who thought it would be a fabulous idea to share a pen with a wild coyote while walking around said pen covered in a blanket. Hilarity ensued when the coyote said to himself 'fuck that noise' and proceed to maul the 'artist'.

29 Pug, I'll let you know if I would prefer that if we get even half the snow they are talking about.

Also, I find the snow predictions odd coupled with the temp predictions. Between 10 and 15. 18 to 22 inches of snow when it is that cold sounds odd.

Plus, wouldn't snow when it is that cold just be powder?

57 Some Youtube, probably Geography By Geoff, was claiming that northwest Honshu's coast was depopulated because their winters are just that shit.
You have the Sea Of Japan off that coast, which evaporates, and then a wind from Siberia barrels down and dumps all that moisture onto the hills of Japan. And Japan is all hills (and mountains).

Well, yes, I seem to recall you are a practitioner of black arts?

I was curious about a product called Polar Pure. It’s a water disinfectant device for hikers and campers, based on a concept developed by Kahn & Vischer some years ago. 4 to 6 grams of USP grade resublimated Iodine crystals are placed in a glass bottle with bakelite cap.

A couple ounces of water are kept in the bottle. A super saturated solution results, that is used to disinfect water in a canteen or whatever

Suddenly, a limousine cruised to the head of the line. The chauffeur stepped out and opened the rear passenger-side door, and two men got out. First was the leftist billionaire and anchovy monopolist, Getus L. Mazuma. A huge man, he was dressed in a blue suit that incorporated enough wool to have kept a shearing shed busy for a week. And then, there he was, the arch penguin-hater and guano mogul, himself, the old Russia hand who had made the transition from Marxism to capitalism as easily as changing his lapel pin: Duncan Duncanovich Thraxski, a picture of studied elegance, in his black overcoat and gray Homburg.

When I got my first Persian she would ALWAYS go steal a warm bed from one of the boys if they got up. They always let her get away with it and I soon got enough beds that there was one left for any ejected cat.

Jimmy walked out the front door and leaned casually against a lamppost. The men in the limo, including the chauffeur, had disappeared inside the building; however, a few minutes later, they emerged, carrying white cardboard containers the size of fruit boxes. They looked around furtively, then returned inside. Jimmy stole across the street and looked into the open trunk, gasping at what he saw. On one end of each box, there was a silhouette of a penguin inside a red circle with a red hash mark. On the other end was a skull and crossbones. It was poison! The address label read: South Sandwich Islands.

95 I bought it (Polar Pure) about 1990 from the REI mother ship in Seattle.

Over the years, even covered with water, it slowly dissipates, about a 1/4 or 1/3 of the crystals remain. The instructions state “so long as visible crystals remain in the bottle, there is sufficient iodine to make a supersaturated solution”

But the solution it makes now seems very weak. It used to make a very strong solution. So I wonder was it “too strong” then, or is it “too weak” now. Or really, shouldn’t it make an identically strong supersaturated solution, inline with what the instructions state?

It’s a great idea, great product. The Feds got involved and shut the guy’s operations down. I think it had something to do with Iodine being used to make Methamphetamine. Go figure.

Ah, but he said that the supersaturated solution is then used to purify some larger volume of water:

"A couple ounces of water are kept in the bottle. A super saturated solution results, that is used to disinfect water in a canteen or whatever"

And it sounds me me like you are saying that the water in the purifier itself is safe, but when diluted will it still kill the little buggers? Surely it depends on volume of saturated sol. used, and how large the canteen is, no?

166 Cysts (Like Giardia) are tough to kill.

The concentration recommended depends on the water clarity. Large amounts of suspended organic matter require greater concentrations of disinfectant. The chlorine or iodine gets “bound up” in the organic matter and reduce effectiveness.

About 8mg per liter was the standard “dose” for iodine tablets, results in a brown color and a strong taste.

Yes - I was under the impression that the supersaturated solution would be identical all the way down to the end of the crystals. It doesn’t seem to be working out that way, which is why I thought to ask.

Sure, pools use them, but that is in thousands of gallons of water.

I know. There are plenty of sources for using standard household bleach to decontaminate water, including federal sites. I purchase the off-the-shelf chlorine tablets and follow the instructions on the label, and check the expiration dates.

174 Growing up my dad had a delivery route and I would ride with him. He absolutely hated the snow.

I remember being in my room, or even in bed many times late at night, and I would hear the garage door open -- it meant he was putting chains on the truck because it was going to snow.

So I would get dressed and go down into that freezing garage and help. First of the season meant we had to cobble together a set, and adjust length, etc. Usually replace a couple of the cross pieces that were broken or just too worn. I would help because he would be in bad mood and would yell at me otherwise.

Then the next morning we would go out (assuming no school.) and it would take forever. I didn't care - I loved the snow. Still do.

I enjoyed my year there! I was there during a massive port call brawl between the US, the French and the Brits stationed on Hong Kong Island. The US ship (a marine carrier, I think the Peliliu,) allowed six of the officers to take me and my roommate to dinner after the captain met us and decided we were nice girls. Those guys were the only ones allowed a pass during the entire port of call. There was rancor, they told us.

204 After the delivery route, he vowed to never drive in the snow again. Then one year my older brother "had" to go to a tournament or something for his sports thing. The night before my father was laughing at the snow, then Saturday morning I hear the garage door open.

He also drove a really shitty car because he was spending a LOT of money on my brother -- private coach, clinics, camps, etc. -- and so he drove this cheap little car. Now he had to figure out how to get to the main road in that little car to get my brother to the sports thing.

We put chains on, and spent the morning shoveling, pushing, fixing thrown chains, etc. It was brutal -- the things you do for family, right?

I still remember my brother in the window yelling at us to warm up the car because he didn't want to be cold.

We got to the main road. probably took 2 hours shoveling and another hour driving. I was scared my father was going to have a heart attack he exerted himself so much.

I'm a New England guy. The one year I spent living in the islands was one of the most memorable things I will ever do. But to be honest, I got bored near the end. Beautiful weather but every day was the nearly the same as the one before and that is the opposite of New England where the weather can change by the hour let alone the season.

I love the snow along the New England coast. Beautiful.

212 Part 3 and final.

So when my dad died, that brother did the eulogy. He talked about how my father loved shitty little cars and he remembered one time trying to get to the main road in it through the snow.

No mention, or even conception, of the sacrifice apparent that day. No understanding of how much my father (the whole family really, but certainly myself included) had worked and sacrificed. I still remember walking back home once I got them to the main road, feet soaked, hands frozen. Carrying the chains and worried silly about my dad having to drive to wherever they were going. I was still scared he had overexerted himself.

IIRC, the island of Hong Kong was perpetual. The 99 year lease was on the New Territories on the mainland. The problem was that the NT was the source for the water Hong Kong used so keeping the island was untenable if push came to shove with China, which China said it would.

I'll tell you the rest of the story at a MoMeet. Be sure to ask me. One of my favorite tales of the US Navy being a Force for Good Times. It was on Bastille Day as well.

245 Not a fan of driving on snow/ice, but I do so *love* the look of it in the yard & fields, on the mountains.

Hawaii was great-- for about 4 months. Boooorrrrrring.

248 243 What time was the quake?? I felt a long rolling very slight rumble about 1838 hrs mtn time yesterday. But I wasn’t sure if it wasn’t wind. Also figured I’d hear some rock slides. Well south of Nephi

About 7:45 AM MST. hit 4.7 on the Richter. About 20 seconds, I guess. No known property damage.

249 Driving on snow/ice. I can do it. But when most of the people around can't, it's best to just stay home.

250 >>I think you're safe. Two sons just bought snow blowers. I warned them--now it's not going to snow for about three years.


I honestly don't mind. I love watching it come down.

Just be done by Tuesday.

260 The snowstorm is making everybody crazy. Every forecast I see is different, ranging from a light coating to 2 feet (I live inside the dreaded northeastern "I-95 Corridor". The supermarkets are looking like they did during the pandemic, without the mask Karens of course. There are people on X screaming that the storm is being "manufactured" RIGHT UNDER OUR NOSES, while flashing pictures of chemtrails.

Interesting times, indeed.

262 I don't like snow but I hate ice. If the temperature falls into the 30's, ok if it doesn't last too long. Winter is not my favorite season. Give me warm sunshine, it improves my attitude. This next week will be a test on my nerves.

Spent more than a couple days anchored up in that little cove. That's Patience Island to the left, Prudence to the right.

And yea, the bluffs are too tall. There are a number of versions of that painting. The bluffs grew.

There are no potatoes at the HEB.
Also no Chicken Noodle Soup.

277 Babylon DC weather reports are full of fear and loathing. Except the blond weather girl on the local Fox affliate. She's pretty calm about it and doesn't think we'll have a giant glacier just drop on top of the area. She thinks about 8-10 inches of snow, maybe, in the immediate DC metro area.
