The coolest stove ever is sitting in our kitchen as we speak. Chambers stove circa 1930's. Gifted to us 25 years ago by a work friend whose parents bought her a new gas stove for her historic house.
The (not original to the house) stove that came with our circa 1907 house didn't have a working oven, and the stove was perfect for our decor.
Sucker weighs at least a couple of hundred pounds....

He was by far the "worst" of the actual actors playing the role, but in fairness, it was a sendup of the Bond trope.
I still maintain that "Eliot" Page is the worst possible choice, since she is a neutered woman cosplaying as a man.

It was easily predictable for me, unlike for most people. Unfortunately, I gave up wagering when my youngest was born, so I didn't bet on USA hockey like I did on Trump '16.
But it was an easy one... most bettors bet on the past, instead of the present, and if past is prologue Canada should have been the sure thing.
Problem was, this was the first Olympic games in the last 14 years that the NHL released players for the Olympics - and Canadian pro players have been consistently outclassed by Americans for 30 seasons, and particularly for the last 10.
The talent pool was shallow for them, and deep for us. I only got it wrong insofar as it was closer than I thought it'd be - and I didn't know the USA would sweep gold - but I knew we'd sweep Canada.

And that’s hard as most English actors are good, it’s hard to find a really bad English actor.
Maybe Simon Pegg, but that’s only because he looks nothing like a Bond.

Without an almost supernatural performance by Hellebuyck, the Canadians win that game by three goals easily. Yes, the US won the game, but it wasn't because we outclassed them.

The stove in the house I grew up in was a beautiful beast. Four burners plus a larger fifth center burner, over which a cast aluminum griddle would go. Oh, and the pilot lights had these little trivets over them, which was great for melting butter or keeping your coffee warm. There were three metal covers that you would pull up and over to conceal the burners when not in use. Sleek, is the best word to describe it.
To the left of the oven was drawer for storing pots. You used a match to light the oven. Start the gas, strike the match, hold it to the little intake port, and ...whoosh. Mostly, your eyebrows were not a required sacrifice to appease this oven-god. Mostly...

It doesn't change the fact that I called the US beating Canada in both men's and women's hockey ahead of the games. It was predictable for me, even though my boss laughed me off about it.
Just like Hillary should have beat Trump, and didn't, and everyone laughed that off. But I won a good deal of money off that.
It's how you win big bets and I'm fuckin' kicking myself for not betting these games.
C'est la vie, as the Canadians say.

The think with the AK is that the button on the back of the receiver is pretty stiff, dust cover has to slide in just right, and the gas tube is always a pain to get out. 45 seconds is not bad for a tear down and reassembly.

To the left of the oven was drawer for storing pots. You used a match to light the oven. Start the gas, strike the match, hold it to the little intake port, and ...whoosh. Mostly, your eyebrows were not a required sacrifice to appease this oven-god. Mostly...

Ours has one big "cover" - called the mother-in-law cover - that pulls out over the entire griddle/burner area. To the right of the oven is a chamber that stores pots specifically made to fit in the Thermowell (the 1930's version of a crockpot). We still have to light a match (we use a BBQ flamer) to ignite the burners and the oven.
The selling point of Chambers stoves was/is that the oven is so well insulated that in the morning you can preheat the oven to 600°, let it heat for 10 minutes, then turn off the gas and put your food (like a roast or a stew) in the oven for the rest of the day. By the time hubby got home from work, dinner would be done.

I have 3.5 last beers before I start pills tomorrow. My family doctor has been here for about 10 or 12 years. My last time seeing him was 2019. But i called in, he talked with me and prescribed stuff. I won't be drinking when I take the pills.
There's also people coming in to check on me now. I asked for help after caregiving 24 - 7 for 14 years. My brain is on overdrive.. I'll let you know how the Ontario medical system helps.
I'm going to bed after my last few beers. My friends' cat Snowflake is here sleeping on my bed. Of course, she's always welcome here. But still, maybe my stress levels would be lower without wildlife making themselves at home...

Russian AKs are pretty much the worst, aside from the pre-1980 Chink ones (and the post-80 Norincos are no great shakes either, but still better than Russian ones).
The exception is Tula armory, especially the Korean War vintage SKSs. Those are good Russian guns with milled receivers.
But - in general, for the best AKs, you want to look outside the Warsaw Pact. For standard anti-personnel rifle configurations, I like Sako best, followed by Zastava-Krugevac armory.
For RPKs, Romanian ones are great, but sometimes the furniture burns under sustained fire - no big deal, it's all smoke and no fire, and you can easily replace that wood if it chars. Bulgarian ones are OK, too - but still, even with the milled receiver, it's made to shitty Warsaw Pact specs.

Yeah the thing with the AK is you have to muscle some of it. The button in the back, the recoil spring, and the damn lever holding the gas tube/upper grip. Nothing real hard, but nothing like the AR which basically glides apart. Some AK cleaning kits that I saw actually have a slot in the container that holds the cleaning parts that hooks onto the lever for the gas tube to give you leverage. I just can't remember if they were all that way or just certain ones.

The fun part was the names of the teams. Nearly everybody worked a German word or two in: "Hier Fur Das Bier," "Ich Weiss Nicht," etc. My favorite, though, was "Don't Make Bunny Use Her Westbank Voice." (A local joke; you wouldn't understand.)
The last round was "German Animals" -- the meaning of the German words for certain animals. Apparently "waschbaer" (sp?), which looks like "washing bear," is their word for "raccoon." Makes sense, though.

Posted by: JQ at February 27, 2026 11:58 PM (rdVOm)
I used to bowl good when I was a kid. My father bowled once a week on a league with his friends and my uncle. I used to go and I would bowl a few games by myself out of bordom. I was 14, and was eventually bowling into the 140's and 150's. Then it ended up where so many teams started showing up I couldn't get an empty lane anymore, so I stopped. Years later I had joined this band, and after one of the practices somebody gets the bright idea of wanting to go bowling. How bad it could it be, like riding a bike right? Yeah, I bowled a 46 or 48. Haven't bowled since. lol

My dad laughed and told me it would be fine, and that I should clean it after each use like any other rifle, but that I could probably get away with shooting an entire can of ammo through it if needed.

My very best score EVER, was 102. After a few months of going every Saturday afternoon with my friend. She was a little better, but not much. We only started doing it because they took groups to the bowling alley & taught us the basics during PE class in middle school.

Given posts, comments, or interview transcripts written under a pseudonym, the pipeline extracts identity-relevant signals, searches for likely matches using semantic embeddings, and then uses higher-level reasoning to verify the most promising candidates while filtering out false positives. The result is a scalable attack that mirrors—and in some cases exceeds—the effectiveness of a dedicated human investigator.

From when I was 8yrs old we lived in the house my father had built on the farm. All electric.
No one told me you had to light the pilot light, nor did I ask. The burners worked for heating water as far as I can remember. In college I think I had coffee in the morning, but maybe not. My fridge had milk, cheese, OJ and beer. I had cereal and bread.
I never cooked, which was evident by blowing the oven up. That came as a huge and loud surprise.
I do love cooking with gas now. After only electric in Florida.
Had an ancient oven in our first home and I told my husband I was only cooking on burners due to the stress of pilot lights. I am no pioneer woman!
This was one fear my parents did not consider when I moved West in college. Joining a cult was probably one, or being kidnapped and killed. Not dying from an oven blowing up.

I did way too much research on it, just for fun. The 6mm ARC is interesting to me, not only because it was developed for operators (cave stalkers not door knockers), but also because it's the AR-15 equivalent of the 6.5mm Creedmoor.
The 6.5 Creed uses the same boltface as the .308 Winchester, necked down to a smaller bore, so it ends up with a long, skinny bullet that has a small cross-section for atmospheric drag relative to its weight. That's why it has such loft, being able to hit a thousand-yard target with a low-power cartridge.
Similarly, 6mm ARC is necked-down 6.5 Grendel, using the same boltface. And there's a company that makes a 6mm ARC barrel that is designed for the "Blackhawk Down" style of silencer, that goes back down over the barrel a ways, so it gets more air cushion with less barrel extension. That's kind of my dream gun, once I have the money... I think it would be essentially ideal for if the temperature on our cool (but no longer cold) civil war gets dialed up a couple more notches.

I put a dual fuel stove in the new kitchen. All the "bakers" over the years when I was doing kitchens would say electric was better for baking. I wasn't going to argue since I don't know shit about baking (no really). Mrs B is a really good baker, and since we had an electric oven in the last house I didn't want to ruin her mojo, so I went with dual fuel for the new one because there was a gas cooktop in the old kitchen here and I really learned to love gas burners. Ironically there is no gas in street, so I have propane just for the damn stove burners. We're just about out of propane and 5 different companies this past week said oh fuck you, no propane for you, you're small potatoes since we don't use a billion pounds of propane in a year. Bastards, i gotta figure out what to do

When the electric stove in the last house died we bought a glass top. I thought nice and clean. Then it took 45 minutes to boil water because you need pots with a perfectly flat bottom, and I mean like machined flat, or else the heat would just cycle on and off because of any air gap. We had to get all new pots, then it was fast.

I was told different things from each company. I have two 100 pound tanks. When we first moved here we used the company the former homeowner used. They came right out and exchanged the tanks. That was 4 years ago. It took that long to use both tanks. We called the company again, they couldn't find out account, and when eh finally dug it up his supervisor told him to close our account, we don't use enough. Another company who services our area tells us, oh uh, we just happen to not service your section of town. basically bullshit story. Another says, oh you use it for cooking only, oh fuck you, and on and on. There is a trailer/RV repair place down the street that fills tanks, so if I can't find anybody I'll have to bring the tanks there myself.

No gas, no sewers, no street lights and all the mailboxes are across the street because the mailman is a lazy bastard.

Hell, my kids would probably be reporting me under some red flag law or something.
Stateless finally reappeared, I am so glad for this, but it sounds like he needs more happy in his life. Stateless, you can make it as happy as you want it to be, but only you can do that.

My last house was on 1/2 acre, and I had to mow it all, but I used a ride on, took maybe 45 minutes. When we were moving we had this house and the old house, so Mrs B got a landscaper to do the new house since I was renovating the old house and cutting that lawn. The new house is 2 acres, but there is about 1/2 acre of woods on each side, so maybe a clear acre, minus the house and driveway. I got spoiled having them cut the grass here, so I never stopped. I think I would lose my shit if I had to mow it, not to mention they do such a nice job. They weed whack and blow everything. I hate cutting grass because it happens in the frigging summer, and heat sucks.

Electric oven, though. An oven doesn't need quick adjustment, so an electric is just as good as gas, plus it has the ability to run the very high temp cleaning cycle that you can't get with gas. That's so.much better than gas for cleaning.

Mine probably went to shit. It hasn't run in 4 years, been sitting in the shed. I'll need to get it out and what its like. Probably will need the carb cleaned out. I couldn't get it started right before we moved, right after the last time I cut the grass at the old house. Its like it was saying tough shit, I'm retired now, you got a landscaper. I don't want it going to shit though. I'll pull it out when it gets a bit warmer and see whats up with it.

He states that bombs will be dropping everywhere and encourages the Iranian people to take over the government once the bombs stop.

The Iranian regime is shutting down access.
Internet access in parts of Iran, including Tehran, has dropped to around 54%.

said that Initial reports of severe casualties among Iranian local security forces, with dozens killed and wounded in the ranks of the Revolutionary Guards, including key figures.
Also, a senior Israeli official reports that Israel is preparing for the first phase, which will include four days of combined and powerful attacks, under the explicit warning that "Tehran will not see the same thing the day after."

For regime change to occur without massive boots on the ground, it is critical that the civilian populace, like in Venezuela, want that regime to end. That more or less requires the burnt hand needs to avoid the fire sort of experience.

🚨 BREAKING: Houthi movement announces the closure of the Bab el-Mandeb Strait in the Red Sea and warns that they will target U.S. and Israeli ships.

I will keep you and yours in my prayers. Well, prayers for you and the baby, and for the boy's brain to be sorted out and shielded from demonic oppression, which drugs are known to invite. It's hard to pray for someone who is making his own trouble, but God can give him clarity, whether he wants it or not.

Yes. The Iranian people are sick of the mullahs. The question is can they get past the oppression. History shows this does happen. The boots on the ground part is a consequence greater than zero. It's a worry.

A key factor to me was that the killings of protesters required Iran to bring in thousands of foreign Arab proxies to carry out--Hezbollah, Iraqis, Syrians, etc. When your own coercive forces no longer have the stomach for killing their own people, it is usually indicates very weak regime support.

Via the national ABC news, it looks like the mullahs in Iran have received a major butt-beating.
Trump made a major statement, carried by the national news, calling for, among other things, the Iranian people to oust the government and take charge. The implication is that there are groups in Iran with the capability to do so.
I guess that there will be some Iranian-directed attacks, but I predict that a large percentage of the overseas Iranian operatives will, in the next 10 minutes, fade into the local desert, never to be a problem again.
