Lovely behavior from the people of "tolerance" and "coexist"

It is genuinely terrifying that a MASSIVE group of people in this country believe that the appropriate response to speech they disagree with, is m*rder...

...and they celebrate it with horrifying glee

Misuse of Flock cameras? As Ace says, I shan't believe it. I shannot.

Mayor Livid When Even More Police Are Arrested for Using Flock Database Inappropriately

Three more police officers have been arrested after using Automatic License Plate Readers supplied by the surveillance company Flock for non-law enforcement purposes.
In Savannah, Georgia, four police department workers were hauled into custody last Friday, when an investigation by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation uncovered they’d been abusing their city’s Flock system to track personal acquaintances and family members, WTOC reported.
Three of them were active police officers, while one of them was employed as a community service specialist. Two more employees had been fired weeks ago for similar offenses, WTOC notes, though they haven’t been arrested, and it’s not clear if an investigation is ongoing.
The incident has become a huge scandal for Savannah over the past few weeks, turning the historic Georgia city into a poster child for police abuse of AI-powered surveillance. Local officials aren’t happy, to put it lightly.
“To be totally honest, I’m disappointed,” Savannah mayor Van Johnson said, calling it a sad and sobering day for the city. “I’m p*ssed off about it.”

Anderson Co. deputy resigns amid investigation into misuse of Flock cameras

An Anderson County deputy has resigned after being brought under investigation for unauthorized use of Flock cameras.
According to the Anderson County Sheriff’s Office, Deputy Eric Center accessed the Flock camera system for “a purpose outside of the authorized reasons.”
Deputies said an internal affairs investigation was opened into the matter and, during that investigation, Center resigned from the sheriff’s office.
The sheriff’s office said they conferred with the 10th Circuit Solicitor’s Office regarding the case and it was determined that while the conducted violated agency policy, it did not warrant a criminal investigation.

This shit is really snowballing. Ridiculous.

Hoover Dam is an engineering marvel. Built long before computers and calculators.

Here's a nerdy but interesting (to me, at least) article about the method used for pouring concrete and why it was done that way.

Hoover Dam was cast in columns because one solid pour would take 125 years to reach air temperature

A bucket holding eight cubic yards of concrete swung out over Black Canyon on a cable, dropped into a form, and opened. Seven men went in after it with shovels, rubber boots and pneumatic vibrators, spreading a mix so dry that it would take its initial set inside the bucket if the crane operator was slow. Threaded through the form, waiting, were coils of one-inch steel pipe.
The pipe was there because Bureau of Reclamation engineers had worked out what would happen if the dam were built the obvious way. Their calculation is published in Reclamation’s own account of the construction. A single continuous pour would have got so hot, it says, that the concrete would have taken 125 years to cool to the temperature of the air around it. The resulting stresses would have cracked the dam and crumbled it away. So the dam went up as a stack of separate columns instead, each one chilled from the inside while it set.
***
Concrete placement in any one block was limited to five feet in 72 hours. That is a rate rule rather than a volume rule: it caps how fast heat can be added to any one part of the dam. Reclamation puts placement in the dam at roughly 160,000 cubic yards a month. The peak day was 10,462 cubic yards, a figure that includes some concrete placed in the intake towers and the powerplant, and the peak month slightly over 275,000 cubic yards.
***
The 125 years is the most quoted figure in this story, and what it measures is narrower than the retellings suggest. It describes cooling to the temperature of the surrounding air. It says nothing about when the chemical reaction inside the cement finishes, and the two are different processes running on different clocks.
It is also a calculation. Nobody poured Hoover Dam in a single lift and watched it cool. Reclamation’s engineers computed what would have happened if anyone had, and then designed the job so that nobody would. Reclamation’s construction answers record the cooling of the dam as completed in March 1935. That is about 21 months after the first concrete went into the dam on 6 June 1933, and two to three months before the last was placed on 29 May 1935. That timing is our arithmetic on Reclamation’s dates.

Kewl? Or nah?

It's that time of the week - when we turn the ONT over to our good friend Piper for a bit. Here's this week's fashion pr0n.

A Clean Line and a Slightly Raised Eyebrow — and the difference a little discipline makes

At the White House Historical Association’s 2026 Presidential Sites Summit, First Lady Melania Trump stepped to the Rose Garden podium in a look that did what her best public dressing always does: it looked simple until you looked twice. The dress was Dior’s mid-length blazer dress in black virgin wool and cotton bouclé. Sleeveless, double-breasted, notch-lapelled, worn without its belt but with the house’s horn buttons.

And then the shoes. Oh my goodness, the shoes. They were Manolo Blahnik’s BB pumps in a black-and-white grid from the 2023 collection. Pointed toe. Stiletto. A grid pump does not need a complicated outfit. It needs a clean line and enough quiet around it.

The Rose Garden outfit was a proportion look. A graphic Manolo finished a black line by arriving last, saying one thing, and stopping.

Elsewhere in First Family Fashion, Donald Trump Jr. and new wife Bettina joined POTUS in western Ireland for the Irish Open. We may still look a little side-eyed at this marriage, but Bettina does seem to understand how to dress for her role a bit better than Kimberly Guilfoyle. That is not gossip. That is wardrobe discussion. A southern lady knows the difference.

Upon disembarking from the plane, Bettina wore a Burberry Classic Trench, I think this is the long Waterloo style. She carried a quilted Bottega Veneta Andiamo Small Intrecciato top-handle bag in black and Chanel calfskin ballet flats in black quilted leather. The sunglasses are Gucci flat-top frames in black. Travel dressing with its manners on.

Bettina was also introduced to Ireland’s President Catherine Connolly. She nailed this fall’s trends with a gorgeous Roland Mouret long-sleeve crepe midi dress in emerald green. The coat is a Scanlan Theodore tailored coat in sand. Bettina remembered that green and camel still do the Lord’s work. The shoes are Manolo Blahnik Maysli suede buckle slingback pumps in emerald green, and the sunglasses are Dior 30Montaigne S8U in black. The bag is the same from above. Matching the green pump to the green dress without turning into a Christmas ornament takes a steady hand. She had one.

And as something really fun, here is a link sent to me by Biden’s Dog for everyone to enjoy.

At 14, Zack MacLeod Pinsent burned his last pair of jeans after finding a box of his great-grandfather’s suits, and he hasn’t worn modern clothes since.

It's a meat product. Meat products are mostly good. Perhaps calling it "bacon" is what leads to the hostility. But, it's still a pork product.

It's ham, and most people like ham. The problem is that you've been primed to expect BACON, and ham is not bacon. It's like being told you're getting filet mignon, and getting hamburger. There's nothing wrong with hamburger, but if it's not what you were promised, it's a disappointment.

53 Hoover Dam: not quite two years for the pour. Did not look up pre-constrution time. If you were to propose to build another dam like this one, the permit process and bid process would likely take decades because of environmental studies, disputes over grift and graft and the lawsuits because of all those factors. Of course, it would be very unlikely to happen at all.

65 From AI (the more you know):

No, Canadian bacon is not technically ham, though they look and taste very similar.

Main Differences

The Cut: Canadian bacon comes from the pork loin on the back of the pig. Ham comes from the hind leg.

Flavor and Cure: Canadian bacon is usually cured and smoked with a mild flavor. Ham can be cured, smoked, or baked, and often has a sweeter flavor profile.

Fat Content: Canadian bacon is leaner than traditional ham.

First, they have to do a study to see what materials the state has deemed safe enough, and shouldn't trigger demands for reparations, to see whether they can make a seat and a seat cushion. Could they even make straps to hang onto for the duration of the trip?

It’s currently running on a Linux mint rig running a vm of proxmox which in turn is running VMs of opnsense, win 11 enterprise, netbox, puppy Linux and MacOS.

Everything is peppy except the MacOs vm, which is because there are no Mac intel graphics drivers, but I’ve got an amd rtx 570 coming that will fix that glitch when I fully deploy.

The rig will eventually have 3 windows VMs, a Mac vm and 3 Linux VMs, for vendors to do their remote commissioning.

Do several cuts to see how it looks. If you can't get a good single cut, make a few smaller cuts and layer the meat. Or just do one cut and cut the sandwich into manageable pieces.

176 What Americans call "Canadian bacon" is neither Canadian nor bacon. Canadians have a product called back bacon or sometimes peameal bacon that is cured pork loin. You can get away with just salt curing, but you can also add some nitrite. It's not smoked. We have to make our own back bacon because you can't buy it in the States. You can only get that horrid extruded ham "sausageoid" monstrosity in a synthetic casing that Americans incorrectly call Canadian bacon.

For a truly awesome culinary experience, if you are in Toronto, go to the St Lawrence Market and order a back bacon on a bun sandwich, which is fried sliced back bacon on a kaiser bun. Heaven.

I do like what Americans call "just bacon" and what the Canadians call side bacon and the Brits call streaky bacon, that's made from pork belly. However, I've been finding that a lot of restaurants have a tendency to overcook it, turning it into a charred crunchy mess that can only be eaten with your fingers. There's a very delicate balance between cooking too little, with an unpleasant mouth feel from the fat, and over doing it when you cannot pierce the bacon with your fork without shattering it into many indigestible pieces.

246 The Nashville-based national chain O’Charley’s has closed its restaurants Wednesday, according to multiple reports.

The company is closing all corporate-owned O’Charley’s locations, according to NRN, a restaurant industry news outlet.

That makes the "national chain" part false right there

248 I like Canadian bacon. But it's not bacon. And lately, very high priced.
Posted by: Semi-Literate Thug at September 13, 2026 11:43 PM (mS8PE)

Here in Western Canada, I very rarely see it in the stores. I like it in its own right, not as a substitute for belly bacon.

250 >>As far as I'm concerned, Trump is taking care of some long-overdue business. He's not the type to just kick the can down the road.

Those of us who grew up around NYC when Trump was actually popular with the media, heard him say over and over that the religious cultists in Iran needed to go. I'll be the first to admit I didn't see him getting elected and actually doing it.

But he did and he is and it's spectacular to see. Trump is changing the entire world power structure and someday there will be books written about this time.

It's an incredible time to be alive.

254 "Canadian Bacon" has its uses, I suppose. I like it on Eggs Benedict.

It's tasty, but IMO not worth the price except for special meals, special occasions.

255 Thanks for the ONT. I'll just keep drinking, despite that my left little toe looks like it's got gangrene or like that.

Hope you're all doing well and looking forward to a day that isn't the 13th. I keep telling some guy named James or Jason or Jarrod who's knocking on the door that it's not Friday so come back later.

265 Well, today I got the body tub for the dune buggy securely bolted down to the floor pan with all the bolts. It will come off again for paint, but it makes sense to ensure all the other components fit properly so I don't mess up the paint trying to fit stuff.

Made a start on the fuel tank. It hangs in a well on the main body tub, between the front fenders, and the hood/dash panel goes over it like a cover. There was damage to the hood panel from a previous assembly, where it hit the top forward corners of a stock VW tank. So placed a scrap tank in the well, and fitted the cover. Yup, hangs up on the corners. Used air shears to cut the raised ridge off the front top of the tank, cover fits, good clearance. Scrap tank full of mouse nest, smelled bad, rusted out. But it proved cutting the ridge off was viable.

There's a couple of women from Michigan, really, who knew, well, I just found the site; prometheanaction.com, (TJM, I know) who make concise presentations on Trump and current circumstances.
