2 Love the kitty mocking the owner's leg injury. She must really love him (or just wants food).

My grandmother said I used to walk like our gardener, who certainly had a hitch in his get-a-long limp, behind him. I am sure he was aware of the crazy little white girl.

4 Aw...that baby with Goldens. Our girl (who gave me RSV and it's no joke but it did not faze her) is like that. Whatever they touch they want to taste.

I have photos of her two weeks ago discovering her grandfather's unshaven cheek and "biting" him like a wee vampire.

She loves their Golden and laughs when she sees her.

I love dogs. We live 4 blocks from our grandchildren.

The 12 y/o comes here from school every Wednesday and the 7 y/o is here every Tuesday after school.

Our dogs go nuts waiting on the boys to get here.

How they know we haven't figured it out.

Dogs are wonderful!

20 Checking in for the day, missed a lot of good posts.
If you need some feel-good rainbow-on-rainbow fighting today:

Chappell Roan loves the perks of fame, but not the pesky fans/peasants who pay for her music. She behaved like a brat the other day:

https://www.instagram.com/p/
DVrxILuiY54/

Boy George chimed in and basically told her to grow up:

"It's probably not helpful but I have been doing this fame thing for a while and you learn slowly and painfully that you don't get a free pass once you turn yourself into a bird of paradise. I watched @ChappellRoan filming the paps in Paris and I laughed because I have kicked off at them many times. The trick is to own your fame. yes, it's annoying at times but so is being ignored and told your a 'has-been. Life is always now and I think Chappell looks great but cheer up girl. The world is at your feet stop kicking it! It takes so much more time to say no to a picture or a signature. Boundaries are boring. Break them with the magic of kindness."

23 John Thune is fucking with us.

@EricLDaugh : JUST IN: Senate Leader John Thune says he will FORCE a vote on the SAVE America Act, but he can NOT guarantee it will pass because that needs 60 votes
"That debate will happen. But like I said, I can guarantee the debate. I can guarantee a vote. I just can't guarantee an outcome. There are a lot of optimistic views about what Democrats may or may not do."

That means Thune intends not to force the real filibuster. Thune intends to force a pro-forma cloture vote which the GOP will "lose" 50-something to 40-something. A real filibuster would get Democrats onto the floor to blah-blah-blah which would then ... win, for the GOP, 50-something to 40-something.

28 ... well, Chappell fans/stans accused Boy George of mansplaining how to be a good celeb and called him sexist (just like a man to tell a woman her boundaries are boring!).

They also brought to light this doozy:

“In January 2009, Boy George (George O'Dowd) was sentenced to 15 months in prison for falsely imprisoning a male escort, Audun Carlsen, at his London flat in 2007. A jury found him guilty of chaining Carlsen to a wall fixture and attacking him with a metal chain.”

That sort of "magic of kindness?"

Apparently Boy George only served four months for enslaving and beating an escort, because why not.

There are no heroes here. Chappell is a brat and Boy George is terrifying.

I feed a murder of 6 crows every morning. They start calling about 7 am for me to get their breakfast. They now hangout just above my head on a tree branch while I spread their breakfast out.

They've been getting closer and closer to me over the years and now practically land near my feet to eat. No gifts yet but I put out small balls of aluminum foil to see what they do with them.

This is rich from someone who had to claim to be bisexual as a backstory for explaining her “embracing” of her looks. This is also why her makeup is done the way it is, you are supposed to think is that make up? Is that her? Is this all on purpose? Chappell Roan mistakenly feels like she is Gaga and Madonna combined. Boy George says right in his speech he has been dumb, he has had to learn and grow up. They reached back into 2009 for this little gem, and who wants to place bets on drugs fueling that madness? At the end of the day, Boy George is right, and news flash for Chappell, he has more vocal range in his nose than she has in her entire body. Also, she doesn’t have to be famous. She can go back to her 2 bit town, her real name, her real hair, all of it, and she can do it tomorrow. Boy George is an old queen, and Chappell is young twit.

91 I had the thought that workers who have valid OSHA 40’s should vote on new work rules before they go in effect.
Maryland has a new rule that when temps are above 85° and the worker has not worked for more than a week in that temp or above, the worker must acclimate over a period of days (2 hrs 4 hrs and 6 hrs) before they can return to full 8hrs shifts.
No joke.

The Crows really like shiny things when they are courting, or making up. Right now the first year crows are figuring out how to set up mating pairs. Try putting out cheap shiny earrings from Dollar Tree, or small bells.
The other thing they like is cubed up Spam as an occasional treat, they like that better than roadkill.

Iran was laying underwater bombs called "mines" to block ships in a key sea route for oil (Strait of Hormuz). The US spotted their minelayer boats and destroyed 16 of them today as part of bigger fights to keep the waters open and safe. Boom = boat gone!

Posted by: Fenderbender

"Crowded Tub" is what I think of when I think of Shel Silverstein poems. I liked "Where the Sidewalk Ends" and his other children's books when I was a kid.

"Never bite a married woman on the thigh" escalated quickly. I know he had a twisted sense of humor, but marital infidelity and double suicide is pretty dark subject matter.

"It's Hot!" is the poem I remember from the kid's books. "I think I'll take my skin off, and sit around in my bones."

We get there and all he wanted was tongs. We suggested the small tongs but he wanted the large tongs.

But…
they had to remove her colon

The whole thing? I've not heard of that before. Large and small? That's going to be tough. God bless her.

183 Iran was laying underwater bombs called "mines" to block ships in a key sea route for oil (Strait of Hormuz). The US spotted their minelayer boats and destroyed 16 of them today as part of bigger fights to keep the waters open and safe. Boom = boat gone!

187 91. 116. valid OSHA 40’s should vote on new work rules before they go in effect. ...OSHA proposes, workers decide
Posted by: Accom

A valid 40-hour HAZWOPER certification (often called OSHA 40) is active for 12 months from the completion date. To remain compliant and valid, you must complete an 8-hour refresher course annually. It is essential to take the course through an OSHA-authorized training provider to ensure it is recognized by employers.

They should vote on new work rules??

Osha proposes, workers decide???

Maryland is a state plan state with laws as least as strict as federal osha's. They can be more strict but not lesser.

Heat stress is to be proven by exposure sampling not environment. If Maryland has such idiot laws and can enforce them, cheers. How businesses are to function, idk.

Osha has NO heat stress standard but rather guidelines and on rare occasion has utilized the General Duty Clause, Section 5(1) of the OSHAct.

See: Key Aspects of OSHA Heat Safety (Under Development)

Your group should thank their lucky stars they're not glass or asphalt plant workers; farm crews; building, maritime trades.

Make all SESs at-will political employees and prohibit their 'downgrading' to GS pay grades to bury in like ticks on a dogs ass when a new Admin comes in.
Most SES are policy wonks or political rewards - vast majority of these jobs could be disappeared by an incoming Admin that does not support the Ivy League.

196 I've watched that cat chaos video too many times.

There was one cat dude who was pretty chill, being Pretti Good, on the left. Then he/she joined in the blur as it looked like end times.

I like to imagine this is how the Dims were when Trump won again in 2024.

One black and white cat (Bill Clinton) sat on the bench under the window, watching while on alert.

Hillary was the big white fat cat who jumped on the window, scaring the other cat who fell off the ledge (Obungo, trying to escape), then jumped off after messing with the blinds, casing the joint..and Bill fled with the others.

Bravo to the one who shot straight up in an arc for survival. Unsure who that was, not Biden.

======
The Mark VII bullet is what made the 303 so lethal as well as rapidity of fire from Lee Enfields. The bullet head is lighter than the tail so it goes ass over front when it hits a human obstacle. Makes a helluva wound. The 8x57 or the 30.06 fmj bullets tended to zip through rather than upset like the 303.

FWIW, that same factor makes the 5.56 lethal but yet not that penetrative in the 55 gr XM193 boat tail. If you get the bullet up to 3000-3300 fps, then the upset is considerable where the bullet destabilizes upon hitting a target. The XM193 however at the same time is less penetrative than 9mm ball through drywall, studs, etc.

Military went away from it because first they wanted Light AP 62 gr XM855 to penetrate Sov Union era body armor and helmets, then the heavier 77 gr for desert warfare.

Posted by: Braenyard - some Absent Friends are more equal than others

What would I advise the English to do to take their country back? Absent an overwhelming willingness to become completely unmanageable, I don't know what I would tell them.

They watched as the actions of the 1% were used to justify stripping them of their firearms. They surrendered to tyranny. Getting their freedom back is possible, of course. It just may take eight decades of utter repression and the backing of the world's only remaining free nation. It's all completely uphill, K-2 uphill, for them.
