And before we get to our musical selection for today, we have a request for our aspiring authors: if you have an article you’ve been sitting on in the drafts for a bit, please clean it up for submission or feed it to one of your many starving orphans. I guess there’s pages of drafts out there, and we don’t want to delete something that you might still be working on.
You’ve been good all week; here’s a little (NSFW-lite) something just for you.
There is no fucking way the US government is going to willingly let that happen.
Practically speaking, how much could they interfere?
I also don’t see Mars colonization happening without a new source of energy.
It’s not happening ever.
It better be self-sufficient from the jump, because the feds would lock down supplies from Earth in a heartbeat.
And they would take remaining family members hostage as well.
We’re not quite North Korea.
Are you sure?
Lets see, FedGov controlling what is/isn’t allowed to treat a medical patient; gobbles us all the supply of a particular item and then gives for ‘free’; actively goes after its own citizens for speaking against them…..
Yeah, Sean is right.
“actively goes after its own citizens for speaking against them”
Still, not at North Korean level…
Ask any of the J6 persons in jail how that is going. I know its one instance, and could possibly not be as bad as one side wants to make it, its still bad. Now, it isn’t putting them in front of an AA gun and executing them level, but still.
Cops show up to homes and kill people with impunity. The government uses any method to spy on its citizens (USPS anyone?) and you are still gonna say we aren’t at N.K. levels?
Well…
“you are still gonna say we aren’t at N.K. levels?”
Yes.
Cuba isn’t even at N.K. levels.
We will disagree to disagree.
We’re still well short of NK level oppression.
But we’re trending, and previously secure guardrails have been jumped.
It’s not FedGov, it’s called EarthGov that violently clamps down on Mars Colony when it seeks independence.
Wait…I’m thinking of Babylon 5 again.
Carry on.
Molten Salt Thorium, but good luck getting a nation state to sell you that.
Solar is pretty reliable on Mars if you have a way to keep the panels clear of dust. Further from the sun, but thinner atmosphere and less cloud cover.
A company called Helion is working on fusion generators.
I’ll believe it when I see it.
It’s just 10 years away.
I want my Mr. Fusion.
Shit, wasn’t General Electric talking around 5 years ago about how they’d have 50MW nuclear generators in 18-wheeler trailers in about, oh, 5 years?
I won’t believe any fusion promoter until he/she/they/whatever show me a working, multi-megawatt prototype that doesn’t cost two hundred quintillion dollars (not including disposal costs); damn thing had better pump out fucktons of electrical energy every second.
Would it be that difficult to mine your own Thorium on private property?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thorium#On_Earth
Betting it’s available on Mars too. Robot/drone mines launched earlier when we start the terraforming.
What would Earth do to stop private terraforming of another planet? Shoot down satellites/etc orbiting another planet?
It’ll go like the English colonization of North America.
The crown claimed sovereignty, but assigned territories to companies. Eventually the companies devolved in different ways back the crown.

The extrapolations on the DOD dataset have already begun.
https://jessicar.substack.com/p/the-true-under-reporting-factor-urf
I find the extrapolated number to the general population to be unbelievable, but there’s definitely an under reporting factor of some sort in VAERS.
Just curious, but wouldn’t that be spontaneous miscarriages? Well, now that I think of it, if we are attributing the vaccine to it, it would be an abortion.
If I remember my medical training, technically “miscarriages” are a subset of “abortions”.
I’ve seen “spontaneous abortion” used as a synonym to miscarriage in medical literature before.
I saw them warm up Officer Friendly and the Zip-Ties in Youngstown Ohio.
I think most people aren’t going to be inputting miscarriages in VAERS.
This tracks almost to the digit with what Steve Kirsch has calculated as the URF for VAERS; he came up with a URF of 41 using the Dr. John Su’s (CDC own expert) paper that explains how to calculate the URF.
The CDC (and Su) refuses to calculate the URF or provide any number; they’ve claimed it’s solid “as is” – then again, they’ve done a lot of sabotage of their own pharmacovigilance site in order to propagandize the masses that “there’s nothing to see here!”

I am obviously impartial. My grandma got gracious help from J.R. Simplot after my granpa killed himself, helping my aunt through college. Idaho spuds or nothing. Fuck Canuckistan
Rip JR. He used to let kids sled on his front lawn.
Old school corporate man. Just like the CEO of Boise Cascade who also, for my apparently awesome grandma, would fly my grandma down to California to see her kids and grandkids. They don’t make CEOs like that anymore.
B schools and “professional” management has killed that.
Seriously. Also cause apparently Idaho had three of the most awesome CEOs or again, my grandma was just great…Mr. Albertsons helped my mom through her college. Either it is small town love or companies that knew they were built from that town. I am not really sure what it was.
Both.
We lost our taters at the border, the check point guards confiscated them, about 20 years ago. We had to stop at the first super market in Fort Francis and buy a bag of Canadian spuds. Tasted the same, may be they were the same ones.
Stompin’ Tom disagrees – https://youtu.be/HtySGSuKZe8
Vilsack is head of AG? again? what strange grift is this?
Let’s calculate the background rate of spontaneous abortions using the DMED data. The total number of women enlisted and on active duty in the U.S. military in 2020 was 226,417 (this represents the 17.2% female population enrolled + active in 2020 (N = 1,333,822)). Therefore, the background rate based on DMED data is 132 spontaneous abortions per 100,000 women.
Did they correct for age or other characteristics affecting probability of pregnancy?
It’s very much a back of the napkin calculation.
Is the napkin sanitary?
The easiest criticism is that the average age of active duty military women should skew much lower than the general population.
But their job risks skew higher on factors for carrying no?
The appropriate thing to do would to compare numbers between the military and genpop in non-contested years and use that to set a baseline ratio between the two.
^^
Agreed. But then how are we supposed to develop our narrative?
other characteristics affecting probability of pregnancy?
Like deployment orders to shitholes or being deployed to shitholes without productive things to do or diversions?
Suck it, FDR
China’s ambassador to the United States issued a warning Thursday: The U.S. could face “military conflict” with China over the future status of Taiwan.
In his first one-on-one interview since assuming his post in Washington, D.C., last July, Qin Gang accused Taiwan of “walking down the road toward independence,” and added, “If the Taiwanese authorities, emboldened by the United States, keep going down the road for independence, it most likely will involve China and the United States, the two big countries, in a military conflict.”

Barring that, give her a head/neck/shoulder massage.
Yep! I know it was cheesy but I got her a really good at home foot spa. I will prep that for her arrival as a sacrafice.
I listen. All prepped for her arrival, just gotta add the hot water and heat up the neck wrap in the microwave.
Excellent!

You could just let her go out on her own…no reason to hire an outcall escort for her.
You have all seen her…I am playing with fire and while I have Promethean aspects about me, this is a fire I do not dare share with Man.
Good point. Best not to split that atom.
I could use a bunch of space explaining how climate models work and how scientists work to correct for errors in their projections. I could point to the oft-repeated phrase “all models are wrong but some are useful” to succinctly underscore this point. I could re-emphasize how the body of scientific work on climate is incredibly sound on what is likely to happen within the next few decades. I could spend time explaining why the scientific definitions of “the environment” doesn’t necessarily mean “everything,” as well as how it is the world’s richest—not the world’s poorest—are driving environmental destruction.
I could, but that would require organizing my thoughts into something more complex and coherent than junior high school insults. Fuck that.
If you don’t already know, then I’m not going to tell you.
And then you would go read Judith Curry – a real climate scientist – and realize how damn sophomoric I am.

“EXCLUSIVE: ‘Peter Dinklage just put seven of us out of a job!’ Dwarf actors’ fury at Disney for canceling seven dwarves from Snow White remake because the woke multimillionaire Game of Thrones star said they were offensive
‘Peter Dinklage is the biggest dwarf actor probably of all time but it doesn’t make him king dwarf,’ Dylan Postl, who played Hornswoggle the leprechaun in WWE for 10 years and has also acted in The Muppets, told DailyMail.com.
‘When he was cast as a little person role in Lord of the Rings or in a Game of Thrones or in Elf or this that or the other thing… those checks cashed just fine.
‘He had no issue then. But now he wants to be progressive? Come on man.'”

As for the little people, Bridget was more interesting back in the day.
It came to my attention some years back that there was no collective noun for little people.
However, my suggestion “a shortage of dwarves” was rejected out of hand. Something about “confusing” and “deeply offensive.”

Because Gizmodo is the world authority in climate science. Fuck off.
I also don’t understand why expertise is needed to point out that predictions have failed.
I don’t need special expertise to mention that Fauci said 50% vaccination would end covid last Spring or that Israel was done with covid. His prediction failed. He was very and obviously wrong. Just like all climate models that have made “predictions” up to the present time have failed.
And if your science is not testable and cannot make predictions , what use is it?
Oh, they make predictions. All of which fail spectacularly.

Enter the mind of a professional educator
It is objectively true that over the last two years, kids have not experienced the same lessons they would have, if school had just been in person. But, I really think there’s too much focus on that or on this idea of learning loss, whatever that means.
What school does and what school is isn’t just a sequence of lessons that you’re supposed to get in order at the right time in order to grow up to be the person you’re supposed to grow up to be. That’s not what school is really about. School is about becoming the person you’re meant to be through being in community and having experiences with others, learning who you are, learning how to be a person who shows up in a way that is good for others – and fractions and grammar.
So, yes, our kids missed out on things. They have experiences that they need to have, now, to grow into the people they need to be and to grow in community in the right way. That is all much more important and much more urgent than this idea that we need to somehow make up for the lessons that they didn’t have because they were remote or because school was closed at a certain period of time. That stuff will come. The urgency is we need to help our kids feel safe and good in community at school, so they know how to be with others.
We completely shirked our responsibilities. We locked your children out of school in order to assuage our selfish terror, but that’s not what’s important now.
You just need to admit your complete incompetence and lack of qualifications to engage in successful childrearing, and beg us to take your snotty brats back.
“School is about becoming the person you’re meant to be through being in community and having experiences with others, learning who you are, learning how to be a person who shows up in a way that is good for others – and fractions and grammar.”
No. that’s what bars are for.
And even if you play along with their b.s., it’s still horrible, because the kids were (and in some places still are) locked out of their “community”. the school is their community. The playground and the basketball hoop in the park are their community and the state closed those for more than a year. so give me a break with the chorus of “the community” when that was exactly what was taken away.
That’s what home schooling is for.
I saw this lovely piece of propaganda yesterday. It was so annoyance inducing that I wrote a semi-serious article’s worth of rebuttal just to vent.
That….that is what homeschooling provides. Wow.
Texas and no mention of High School Football? Fake news.
You think the blue hairs at “Friends of Public Schools of Texas” know the difference between a touchdown and a reacharound?
School is just the friends we made along the way.
Public school was where I learned how to: traverse social statuses, find hidden places to do devious things, question authority, develop cliques that can sometimes be friends, plan parties, plan drug and alcohol logistics of said parties.
The butt-hurt employee of mine, when we were peers, had a self-starter attitude. Now? Asking me every little thing? Should we do this? Should I do this? Seriously, dude, I know you are a self-motivated worker cause I have seen you do it for the past 10 years. If your goal is to try and saddle me with your BS, you can go pound sand. You are getting paid good money to use your brain. Why do you need me to tell you what to do?
Perhaps I recall incorrectly, but don’t you work in a bureaucracy? Sounds like that worker is adapting to the incentives in the system.
I’m an optimist. I think the omicron surge ending is a really good thing and it may mean we have a time of lower cases and normalcy for a while. That’ll give us a longer time of more calm and more stability and school, which is going to help kids and teachers feel more calm and more stable in their bodies and their classrooms to rebuild the community and do the work that we need to do.
But in the long term, this isn’t a blip. I mean, this is now part of our collective experience. It’s been a quarter of my younger son’s life. It’s not just a thing that happened. It’s the world. So, we’re going to be making sense of that forever.
We want to go back to normal, but we also always have to ask what normal even was. This moment, cataclysmic as it is, has to be a time when we rebuild the world in a better way. And I really think that people, schools, teachers and their kids and the parents they work with are doing that work classroom by classroom.
What a rambling empty-headed idjit.

https://www.thedailybeast.com/judge-bruce-schroeder-denies-kyle-rittenhouses-request-to-get-his-gun-back
Man has firearm and other belongings confiscated pursuant to a police investigation.
Man cleared of all wrongdoing relating to those belongings.
State decides to destroy the belongings instead of returning them to man.
WTF?
He and his lawyers agreed to it. Stupid move altogether but it was agreed upon.
Which is bullshit. Judge should have thrown out the agreement and returned the items to Rittenhouse as the state has zero right to contend anything other than a potential stolen goods charge for continuing to hold onto Rittenhouse’s possessions.
They specifically did not want the rifle or the clothes being sold as “Kyle Rittenhouse’s,” according to Rittenhouse’s attorney.
I totally understand that. I think all involved just want rid of it as much as possible.
Dominic Black, who owned the rifle, agreed with this as well. Rittenhouse wisely decided not to press an ownership interest in the rifle and they agreed that it would not be exploited. I think it was the right move.
The rifle was never really Rittenhouse’s, except in an unwritten trust between him and Black.
Yeah see my reply below. I think take it and donate it to a self defense fund, but then again I wasn’t just within inch of my ass in prison.
Yeah, that makes sense. Didn’t want it to become a notorious collector’s item.
I thought he got it back and agreed to destroy it?
I don’t get why this is a point of discussion at all. Seems like the only outcome should be them handing him a burlap sack filled with his stuff and sending him on his way. If he doesn’t want it, he can list it on gunbroker. “AR, lightly used, fingerprints on barrel, some scuffs from skateboard impacts, didn’t jam when needed. Good gun! I’d stake my life on it!”
I know there is some murky waters here. The gun was loaned to him when he took it to Kenosha. It was Dominic Blacks at that point. Black did state he was going to give it to him when he was 18 but then all that happened. I would have said auction it off and make a pay day.

“Well, normal procedure is to jump 200 feet into the air and scatter yourself on as wide an area as possible.”
JFC that’s dark – and brilliantly funny.
A fair description of the entire show.

AM I TAKING CRAZY PILLS??
Up is down, black is white, stupid is clever, etc
Freedom is fascism.
OMG the replies…
It’s such a fine line between stupid and clever.
Too bad Reiner is a world class shit bag.
Political cartoonists are the lowest life form, it is known.
Not being for coerced and forcible introduction of foreign substances into one’s own body is tantamount to fascism. Got it…
They just don’t understand what Fascism is, Hell they trust Our Government!
As soon as they call conservatives fascist, there is no talking with them. They just willfully pig ignorant tyrants.

When the narrative is in trouble, you circle the wagons.
Just think, like nurses, truckers were too once heroes on the front lines. Keep adding to your list and keep peeling away people from your cause.
Alright, I dumped some ramblings into the queue this afternoon. Schedule and post as you wish, TPTB.
Well, technically they canceled my shift today – but I missed the call since I got in 3 1/2 hours early to make up some time. Left around 1815 – quite a bit coming down, but still well above freezing so the roads were pretty clear on the whole. Not too bad.
Savage….good God.

I have always been taught that goals are to be attainable…

But hey, Zero Covid, Zero Traffic Deaths, Zero Freedom is our new mantra
The last one is doable.
I would argue is is not. While you can take a lot away, freedom, or the concept of it, lives within the most stout-hearted individuals. As long as your mind is your own, you can be free. It will suck, but you are free.
Meh, one thing I’ve learned from anarchist is that just because something never happened before and you can’t see how it will happen now is no reason to abandon your principled desire to see it become a thing. I want a Stateless society, Pete wants risk free transportation, potayto, potahto.
You aren’t setting policy though.
He’ll try to attain his goal by making it impossible for you to drive.
Possibly, then again maybe he’ll come up with a new plan that doesn’t involve coercion.
I suppose a risk free, free society is possible, but it sounds awful.
Dinner tonight: https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/279168/sous-vide-mahi-mahi-with-jalapeno-lime-butter/
Had most of the lime juice leftover, so I made a Margarita with the rest. Like a frugal person, we use all parts of the lime.
My Margarita recipe
2 fl.oz. lime juice (fresh squeezed)
1 fl.oz. Triple Sec
Cointreau and/or Grand Marnier to taste
Fill a 12 fl.oz. glass near to the top with cubed ice
Squeeze 1 lime over the ice (ensure about 1 fl.oz. of juice)
Add Triple Sec
Stir
Dash Cointreau and/or Grand Marnier over the mixture (approx 1/2 to 1 oz as needed); allow to drizzle down through the beverage
Enjoy.
I got tri tip on the table…and bloody mary’s
niiiiiice
That sounds simple and elegant at the same time.
Wut? No tequila?
This.
OOOOOPS. What a horrendous mistake (thanks, Sloper)
1 fl.oz. lime juice
2 fl.oz. Tequila (something easy like Hornitos Plata)
1 fl.oz. Triple Sec
Cointreau and/or Grand Marnier to taste
Tequila?
Just watched that Keanu Reeves PCC video from an earlier thread. He’s pretty good. I’d like a chance to compete with him.
Slumbrew mentioned, he really leaned into the John Wick role and from the looks of it, became a real fan of firearms and the art/sport of shooting.
Is today gonna be a good day？
It is…
Today was a good day.
Still got all your fingers by sundown=good day.
Perhaps you should be evaluating your choices of finger sticking locations a little better.
Filling in Mayor Pete’s potholes. Free market FTW.
What is it with you people and not losing fingers? Loping off a digit or two is not the end of life as one knows it. Far as I’m concerned if you get outta here with all of your original equipment you wasted your life.
