I’ve been reading about the life and work of John Parkinson after I acquired a book featuring his work at Tractor Supply. John Parkinson was a botanist and herbalist in the court of James I.
I randomly discovered J! Archive, a site that archives every Jeopardy! game. The level of obsession that has gone into this website is astounding.

Fuck Young and that stupid leftard horse he tried to ride in on!
I wonder what he thought was going to happen? Or was it a way to get out of a contract? Or ego?
I am sure his over inflated ego told him people would pick him over Rogan. Then reality kicked him square in the tits.
There is a perfect response to him:
OK Boomer.
As much as I’d love to think he’s suffering, I doubt it. He’s fully bought in. He thinks he’s standing up for some moral truth. He has fuck you money already, so that doesn’t matter. And I’m sure he’s still surrounded by people telling him how wonderful he is.
Don’t get me wrong, I hope he feels like an unloved idiot, but I really doubt it.
He owns a ranch in northern California and gets to fuck Daryl Hannah whenever he can manage to get one up. How many fucks does one man have to give at his age? I used to like you Neil, you’ve changed man…
Yeah, that’s a no from me dawg.

We all remember our high school sweethearts in a different light. Ever been to a reunion? Ugly duckling is not a mere fable.
True Story:
My dad’s old band was playing their 30th high school reunion. My dad (drummer) couldn’t play with them because we had a lot of family in town. They asked 18 year old high school me if I’d fill in (I play drums too). They even paid me! Not worth it. Seeing a bunch of desperate 50 year old people dancing and trying to hook up was horrifying. Don’t get me wrong, there was nothing wrong with it. But for an 18 year old who had high school girls to look at, it was scary realizing that’s what they’d look like in 30 years. And the look of desperation on the single people’s faces strange.
To make matters more strange. My dad’s friend who was the guitarist hooked up with his old high school sweetheart that night. He promptly left his wife of over 20 years and moved from Florida back to Indiana to be with her.
The whole thing was . . . not something I care to live again. On that note, I’ve never been to any of my high school reunions.
LOL. Us old people can be rather non-discriminating at times.
I had the same girl from high school put the moves on me at both my 10th and 30th reunion. I thought she was way out my league back in the before times. Needless to say, current wives were none too happy either time. You remember that Simpsons episode wherein Homer gets woken up by Marge bashing his head with the vacuum cleaner? That was me, twice. Never again, Man. Never again…
I also doubt that he has ever listened to a Joe Rogan interview. He’s just operating off some propaganda he read some somewhere. He could have demanded a chance to talk to Rogan on-air. That would have been funny as he got destroyed by facts.
Young is am ignorant blowhard asshole. Always has been.
Never say “do this or else” unless you’re prepared to handle the “else”. Maybe he is, I don’t know. I just know that this will not affect any of my Spotify playlists one iota.
I like Neil, for about 3 songs, then I can’t stand his voice anymore. I can usually cast politics aside for most music. But after this, I’ll never not think about how awful he is. So I will no longer be listening at all. This may not affect his life much, but I will now not be introducing his music to my children. Not intentionally or anything, just by happenstance of not playing it. And that will mean they will never have the opportunity to know if they like him or not. I imagine a lot of people will be like me. This was cause him not to burn out or anything, but to fade away.

“A dead pensioner was propped up in a post office, leading to two arrests in Ireland.”
So the “I know he stinks and looks like he has rigor mortis, but he is here for his pension/welfare check and we are gonna collect it” didn’t work out well? Damn.. There goes their drinking money..
Wait, what was Biden doing in Ireland?

I think we’re past the 30min so I can be OT – just had a hankering to respond to Shpip’s SSI thread last night…
– We honeymooned on Sea Island (Cloister) 20+ years ago, and went there for our anniversary trips for quite awhile (till the # of kids made a cheap camper on Edisto better). That was the old Cloister – built as a temporary structure in the Depression. I still like its genteel slight-decrepitude better than the stunning new one.
– Would drive to the Tastee-Freeze on SSI. Main SSI memory was Mrs. Tree and I walking around Fort Frederica and literally having to run from the sudden horde of deerflies that appeared when we got to the ruins.
– I’m a regular old Mechanical Engineer who’s worked for nearly 30 years in manufacturing. My other possible career path at the time was Naval Architecture. I think about what might have been different every time I see a ship – would have loved to be part of the Golden Ray salvage engineering.
That is all…

Tennessee School Board Bans Holocaust Graphic Novel ‘Maus’ Over ‘Vulgar’ Words, Themes
What could go wrong with this sort of stupid shit?
Ah fuck. Of course the pendulum swung. How short-sighted and completely foreseeable. Idiots.
I thought “Maus” was really good. More people should read it. Fuck that school board. Abolish the public schools.
As a young person I thought so too. It allowed you another way to understand just how horrific the holocaust was.
I am sure the school board would be upset if someone tried to get them to ban The Diary of Anne Frank? Idiots.
While it’s a great graphic novel and shouldn’t be “banned” it’s certainly at least the equivalent of rated R (but worse) and probably more 16 and up appropriate.
8th grade is when I first read the Thomas Covenant trilogy. I think their delicate minds can handle Maus.
I’m sure many could but it’s more of a high school age book. And they didn’t really “ban” it. They just put something else on the curriculum in it place.

Get the CZ 97. It’s being discontinued so if you decide later you want one you’ll be paying collector’s prices.
I do like a CZ. Plus it most closely matches my EAA i’m replacing.
Citing my sources:
https://cz-usa.com/product/cz-97-b/
I have a steel Baby Eagle in .45 that I like real well. It won’t win any beauty contests, but it’s reliable and very accurate.
It’s a CZ clone made by Israeli Weapon Industries.
They are the same ones who make the Desert Eagle, but other than the name, the two guns have nothing in common.
The better name is Jericho
That’s what they called in Israel.
Mine actually says UZI PISTOL ON THE SLIDE.
At different times they were named after uzis and desert eagles for marketing purposes. See you space cowboy…
The marketing for them was not good.
It’s a shame, because it really is a nice pistol.
I got mine because a friend had one and it was love at first shoot.
When I told my wife it was the gun from Bebop, she thought I bought it because I was trying to be like Spike.
Dude. Colt 1917. Circular stack! Wild Card, Bitches!
https://smallarmsreview.com/display.article.cfm?idarticles=1932
seriously, revolvers are so much fun to shoot, and that thing is huge.
Yes, please! Hickock45 likes it as well. https://youtu.be/N9o_ALC-e7c
I have one. Its barrel is practically a smoothbore, it has been shot so much over the years. It has an incredibly heavy double action pull, and rudimentary sights. One day we had it out at the range and on a whim I decided to shoot at a log we had stood up on end about 50 yards down the gravel pit, figuring I’d miss every shot. My first shot was strong hand only, single action. It knocked the log over. I couldn’t believe it, so we set the log back up and did it again.
I have a New Service that started its life with the BEF in .450 Eley but has been recut to .45 Colt. It was reblued, but the bore was nice. Frickin thing is YUGE!
I think the shot-out quality of my barrel is due to two things–light rifling in original manufacturing and probably tons of shooting way back when with corrosive ammo with inadequate cleaning. The finish on the revolver is very shiny, but many markings have been smoothed over, so someone at some point did a complete refinish job on it–probably was pitted and had to be polished heavily.
Here we go. ATF was let off its leash.

That’s how most of these guys communicate to their audiences. I don’t like it either, but that’s the way it is.
I suppose this is one of those “it increases the rate of fire” arguments. Do they intend to confiscate people’s trigger fingers as well?
Didn’t they ban that battery powered glove that enabled faster trigger pulls?

Right after Biden’s crew of criminals that had just fortified an election took over…
President Jungle Fever strikes again
As his domestic agenda is stalled in Congress, tensions are elevated with Russia encroaching on Ukraine and the pandemic is still raging, President Biden will get the chance to deliver on one of his campaign promises — naming the first Black woman to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Post racial America.
Because skin color and genitals are the most important qualifications. Of course they all just rule based on political agenda anyway, so it doesn’t really matter what any other qualifications are.
Remember when Bork got borked?
Yup, and I remember Biden leading that charge.
Actually he was playing second pup to Teddy Kennedy.

Heh. Someone kept leaving post-its all over one my sites with that slogan. The Union is ultra woke but the rank and file just want to move parcels, get paid and go home.
It is a great way to trigger the woke while showing the normies how much the woke hate them.

Let’s get real
But in sheer dollar amounts Biden has had programmatic success — trillions in public investment were passed in his first year through Covid relief and the bipartisan infrastructure package.
Biden’s one strength as a political communicator is one he shared with an early mentor, Hubert Humphrey. Far more than either Trump or Obama, he projects an understanding of the concrete human dimensions of political and policy matters — how everyday citizens are affected by what Washington does. The infrastructure bill in particular is replete with examples — concrete in the literal sense — that Biden can use to make a larger argument about the impact of his presidency and make his philosophical case about the merits of activist government. Here is a way a distressingly weak communicator could transform into a memorably strong one.
Bacon, brought home.
Who cares about secondary effects, or the long term impact of that spending binge? Look what Daddy bought you, children!
OFFS. He can’t wipe his own ass. How can these people write that shit and not go home and blow their brains out?
It’s because they are proud to do so. How else do you explain a Jen Rubin or a Bill Kristol? Follow the moolah.
The hagiography is depressing. Even when Biden was young and spry, he still had a reputation for being quite the dullard. Just visit the CSPAN archives and watch his hearings on the Earth-shattering peril posed by raves, electronic dance music and MDA/MDMA (a drug SO dangerous that P.J. O’Rourke called it “St. Joseph’s Baby Acid”) .
“P’J” used to be cool Man…

I was at a mushroom ceremony and one of the other participants was an anesthesiologist. Somewhere about 3 AM as we’re kind of on the backside of the whole experience, the anesthesiologist, who had been silent the entire night’s trip, gets up and announces:
“This is the most amazing experience ever!!” Long pause. “Why is this illegal? Why would the government throw people in jail for using this??” Long pause. “The only reason you would do that is if you hated someone.”
The rest of us all cracked up laughing and gave him a big hug.
Welcome to the light, young man. Welcome to the light.
trillions in public investment
“Investment” is a term that we are throwing around loosely these days.
To be fair, I’ve seen commercials touting “your car is the 2nd largest investment you’ll make…” for decades. The word “investment” has always been thrown around loosely. Flim flam men gonna flim flam.
That’s why I buy used cars, let someone else take it in the pants on their investment.
Biden could make a real pitch for diversity on the Court, and nominate somebody with a law degree from Berkeley.
Swing for the fences, Comrade!
Tucker was talking about the “finally, someone without ‘white privilege'” meme and showed a video of Joy Reid gushing about her shared experience at Harvard with that DC judge who’s probably going to get the nomination & did that cackling thing he does. It was hilarious.
Biden’s Supreme Court Pick Sexually Assaulted Me 25 Years Ago
#BelieveVictims
I got raped by a girl when I was 17. She crawled through my bedroom window and had her way with me. I was so drunk and stoned that I didn’t realize what was happening until it was too late. I wasn’t a victim, precisely but a very lucky boy! It was still a sexual assault in strictly legal terms. I was not attracted to her in the least. I work with her younger sister and she is a sweet person. I dare not bring up the history.
I lol’d. The laughter is indelible on my hippocampus.
Lock her up!
A Manhattan restaurant where Sarah Palin was spotted dining indoors while unvaccinated over the weekend confirmed that the former Alaska governor returned to dine outdoors on Wednesday, just a few days after testing positive tor Covid.
At issue are current local guidelines that advise people who tested positive to remain in isolation for five days after their positive test.
“Our goal has always been to incentivize isolation for those testing positive for Covid and providing them multiple resources,” a New York City Hall spokesperson said. “That being said we hope that anybody who has Covid is isolating for their own safety and the safety of all new Yorkers and find it highly irresponsible that Sarah Palin refuses to do so.”
She will have killed more people than Hitler, by the time this is over.
I wanna go salmon or halibut fishing with Sarah. I’m willing to bet that she knows all the good spots!
These euphemisms…
Right?
dining indoors while unvaccinated
Is this going to be the new “driving while black”?
Luca Guaitolini, a manager for the restaurant Elio’s confirmed to CNN that Palin returned to dine at the establishment — this time outdoors.
“Tonight Sarah Palin returned to the restaurant to apologize for the fracas around her previous visit. In accordance with the vaccine mandate and to protect our staff, we seated her outdoors … We are a restaurant open to the public, and we treat civilians the same,” Guaitolini said.
“Civilians”
WTF?
My hackles get raised when policemen refer to non-policemen as civilians. From a restaurant manager though, this is just weird.
Funny, I think of all non-Glibs as “civilians”.
You spelled villains wrong.
Restaurant must be mob run.
I took Jugsy lunch one day to a property she was managing. There was a local deputy there and they were talking about HUD’s policy of firearms on the property. She made the mistake of saying something like “under federal guidelines it seems like only law enforcement can legally have a gun not civilians…” I was quick to correct her and said “he’s a civilian too, even tho he’s dressed-up like he’s playing soldier. Unless you’re actively in the military you’re a civilian.”
I dont think the cop liked that.
I bet you didn’t even thank him for his service, the nerve…
We are a restaurant open to the public, and we treat civilians the same
WTF indeed. And no it appears that you do not.
In accordance with the vaccine mandate and to protect our staff, we seated her outdoors
It is a dick move on her part, assuming she is actually sick. Otherwise she is really showing how stupid these mandates are.
Why Putin Has Not Been Deterred
VDH looking at western Europe and the U.S. from the Russian viewpoint.
Why would you fear anyone fighting over what pronouns people should call you and arguing over the definition of what a woman is? That’s got to be the softest and dumbest sort of society you are dealing with when that shit dominates the culture…
TDDR – (too drunk, didn’t read) but judging from the first few paragraphs, VDH and I are reading from the same page.
Whereas our foreign policy establishment only looks at the world from the Wilsonian viewpoint.
“Americans want an autonomous Ukraine to survive.”
Do I? What do the Ukranians want?
The tightest summary of the entire Russia-Ukraine issue I can muster is this:
The Ukraine is very, very important to Russia. They’re willing to fight over it. The Ukraine isn’t important to us. When all the rhetoric is done, we’re not willing to fight over it. Nevertheless, we (NATO, the EU, and the US) tried to pick the Ukraine out of Russian orbit. That was a stupid move. Picking a fight when the other guy is willing to fight and you’re not is usually pretty damned stupid. And we looked stupid trying to do so. The problem is, we’re still trying to pick that fight and still not willing to actually fight. That’s just setting ourselves up to look stupid once again.
Exactly. The question is how far the idiots in DC are willing to go in order to salvage their damaged reputations. How idiotic are we going to get before this is over?
All the way would be my guess. Muh-Russia remains a DNC talking point that they think wins them votes. It’s stupid but they are mendacious cuntes, after all.
99% of us aren’t willing to fight for The Ukraine. The problem is that 1% are the asses like LT. COL. Vindman. He’s got a wild hair up his ass about the place and is willing to use the US to make sure things turn out the way he wants.
Fuck he ginned up an impeachment against an elected president because that president didn’t share his views on the Ukraine.
Kinda my thought process about Afghanistan.
we’re not willing to fight over it
I hope you are right. Because, we really can’t fight over it. Not with any expectation of winning short of nuclear war,
Putin will not accept a NATO Ukraine, period, end of discussion.
The idea was stupid and dangerous from the beginning.
The western
mediapropaganda outlets are all pointing the blame at Russia, but whoever runs the Biden Administration really seems to want a war.I’m not sure what people think of him, but John Mearsheimer gave a very good lecture on the issue back in 2015. It’s establishment, of course, and pretends that all the stuff that happened in the Ukraine was organic. But, it’s a good illustration of just how stupid this all was from a realist standpoint. And the really stupid thing is that Putin has tried to hand us this out on a silver platter. Our leaders have just been too stupid to take him up on it.
And James Baker, then American Secty of State promised that we wouldn’t try to pull Ukraine into NATO. Oh, you BELIEVED us?
Scruffy gets a posey!
This should make everyone feel all warm and tingly….
I was talking with my sister yesterday and heard something interesting. Apparently, her doctors bullied her into getting the booster (she’s ~20 weeks pregnant). These doctors at a top 10 hospital system told her that the fetus would become calcified and die from Omicron if she didn’t get the booster right now.
She had a very bad reaction to the first 2 shots so had been hesitant about being boosted. Her doctors told her the reactions were all in her head and had nothing to do with the vaccine. When arriving at the pharmacy for her shot, she mentioned to the pharmacist about being pregnant and her earlier reactions. The pharmacist told her to leave and not under any circumstances get the booster while pregnant. So my sister left and won’t get the booster now.
So just anecdotal, but I’m hoping that the ones actually administering the vaccines and witnessing the reactions first-hand are pushing back. This is is the first I’m hearing about Covid calcifying fetuses for pregnant mothers who won’t vaccinate. It seems to me like they are trying to cover up the astonishing miscarriage associated with the vaccines… the whole blaming adverse events on Covid when the event occurs shortly after receiving the vaccine.
Demonic.
God thats scary. Dr. In front of someones names means nothing to me anymore.
Well, thank G_d it wasnt Zika virus. Remember a few years back when the CDC needed $1BN to ensure that no microencephalic kids were born? Its a good thing they….hey- whatever happened to Zika and the threat of a nation with tiny-headed babies ?
There is a lab test for it now, Pregnant women in Florida are usually tested for it,
I would think a certain politcial party would prefer tiny-brained babies.
Well, you know that they would say the lack of Zika is prrof positive that that $1B was well spent.
It seems to me like they are trying to cover up the astonishing miscarriage associated with the vaccines… the whole blaming adverse events on Covid when the event occurs shortly after receiving the vaccine.
I think a large part of our “expert” class is totally out to lunch with the bulk of human behavior throughout human history. They’re doing that? And they think, just because they have a government approval (or demand) to do so, it’s all good? The government might not hold them accountable. Or the media. But, if I were an actuary, I’d be charging a pretty hefty premium for a doctor who tells pregnant mothers to take a vaccine that causes them to miscarry. Because, if I were a juror, I’d almost certainly lean toward temporary insanity.
“I think a large part of our “expert” class is totally out to lunch with the bulk of human behavior throughout human history. ”
You’re being too forgiving in your assumptions. You are wrong thinking these people are just lost souls. These people are evil. They know how inept they are, but instead of admitting this and fixing it so they can stay in the expert class, they now are actively working to force others to hold them to no standard that would actually validate their claim to expertise or otherwise, but they still want us take their demands as gospel and wisdom.
These people are evil.
Oh, I understand that. But, there have always been evil people in the expert class. And, historically, they’ve not been so room temperature level stupid as to openly provoke people to acts of perforation. Causing an expectant mother to miscarry? Well, that’s not a risk I’d be too keen on taking.
It’s a mix. There are the evil or simply amoral ones who are happy to compromise their credibility to push an agenda. That phenomenon isn’t limited to public health these days, it seems to be a cultural thing. There are also a lot of people who are ill equipped to approach an issue without prompting. They’re lost when asked to think about something without some “authority” setting the context for them. They’re flags without a flagpole, flapping in the breeze, getting caught up in whatever happens to be in their path.
There is an astonishing number of people in that latter category. The only thing I don’t know is how much of an outlier that is historically. I get the sense that it is an outlier, but not by as much as I’d like it to be.
I’m assuming they’re talking about placental calcification.
Recommending these shots to pregnant women is so far beyond the pale that I’m flabbergasted every time I hear of it.
Recent testimony from military doctors is that miscarriage rates in the armed forces were up 300% in 2021 over the five year average.
Gee, what was different in 2021?
Thanks for that, my blood pressure was a little low.
At least she had a pharmacist that can think.
I feel bad for your sister, those Dr.’s must have scared the shit out of her.
A quick Google suggest the possibility in earlier studies.
However:
Fetal Brains Appear Unaffected by Mom’s Milder COVID
So statistical noise in either direction. I’m willing to bet the docs there were familiar with the earlier studies, but not the later. Shocking…
The push from above is in one direction only.
Any doctor in a major hospital chain is only going to hear one side of the story unless they go out of their way to get other information. And even if they do, the repercussions for not staying within the approved guidelines are severe.
Yep. This is where we need Ozy’s input, but from what I’ve been told by people who work in hospitals, the entire push behind the “standard of care” shit is that it is pushed by the non-doctors that run hospitals because it shields them from liability. As long as the incompetence can be pointed at government agencies, the hospital board keeps the cash rolling in and the bonus checks flowing. And the hospitals don’t want the agencies giving them options – that just leaves the door open for picking the wrong one.
On the ranked list of priorities, hospitals and government agencies put patient care somewhere in the 60’s or 70’s in the list.
RC’s opinion would be useful here too.
Exactly. As long as the hospital gets paid and can’t get sued, they really don’t care about outcomes.
We now have socialized medicine in spirit.
There’s more too.
State medical boards are pushing the NIH/CDC narrative. Buck that, and you risk losing your license to practice medicine.
The NH State Medical board has been quite aggressive in keeping doctors in line. I don’t know of any that have lost their licenses over it. My understanding from Reopen NH sources is that all NH doctors have been given their marching orders from the state medical board. Follow it, or else.
See also Dr. Malone’s doctor who lost her license for prescribing ivermectin.
Its somewhat more complicated. Doctors in a hospital belong to the professional staff, which is semi-self-governing. Whether a hospital allows ivermectin, for example, and when and how it can be used, is set by the professional staff governance committees, which are elected by the doctors. In truth, its pretty collaborative with hospital administration, but if the docs push hard enough, they get it. There is a truism in hospital C-Suites – the main thing that gets CEOs fired is getting crossways with the professional staff.
Standard of care is the key liability standard for everything doctors and hospitals do, and it is based on a lot of things depending on what you’re talking about. For use of drugs, the FDA pretty much sets it, with some flexibility around the edges for off-lable use (which in turn requires support from the literature).

^^ What Festus said.
I read that as “What Fetus said”
+300% miscarriage rate for vaxxed pregnant women. Even Margaret Sanger would blush at that.
Got a link for that?
Only the video testimony from that senate hearing the other day. I haven’t seen the source data, but the testimony wasb accompanied with declarations having people’s names attached under penalty of perjury, so they have some skin in the game.
Oh, I stated it wrong. It’s +300% miscarriage rate overall in the military. If anything, assuming there aren’t any non-vaxx variables kicking the miscarriage rate up, that number is underrepresenting the impact of the vaccine.
thanks! It’s really important that claims like this be well documented. It’s one thing to share stories among the skeptical; quite another to try to convince the true belivers.
They won’t believe it, anyway. Forget it Jake, it’s Covid Town.
What would be the point of talking about it all then, even among skeptics?
It makes more sense when you remember that most of these people thing a fetus isn’t a baby, but is a parasite hosting off the mother.
That is horrible of those doctors.
Good for the pharmacist.

The sad thing is that after they mutilated their body and mind to discover the grass was not really greener on the other side and now, kicked in the proverbial dingeling. want to go back, they will have even more shit to deal with that causes emotional instability. And I hope this doesn’t end the way it always seems to for people this confused.
“Inter-Trans”
Can’t be. People are not confused, they were born that way, it’s not a choice, it’s what they are, they are not mentally ill.
All that said. I’m fine with this. At 19, an adult chose how he/she wanted to live and changed his/her mind at 26. Adults (not kids), should be free to do that. Not about anything that drastic or life altering, but I did that as well. I’m just glad I didn’t get my pecker chopped off with any of my decisions. .

That’s a deeper conversation for a historian or anthropologist, but I’d say Vietnam has been pushed into the commodity market, like instant-coffee products, because the communist government standardized the price of coffee across the board, so farmers had no incentive to improve their coffee’s quality. That’s when Vietnamese coffee entered the market, and that’s the root of the perception.
I like this guy. Vietnamese egg coffee looks interesting.
Project Veritas’ latest: New York Nurse Whistleblower Recordings Show Possible Botched Administration of COVID-19 Vaccine on Children: ‘Some People Got the Wrong One ’
The Navy started discharging Sailors for not getting vaxxed. Sounds like they are getting Honorable discharges but trying to take back bonuses.
Realistically, if you’re in a close environment like a ship with a bunch of recently vaxxed people, you’re going to get plenty of spike protein in your system.
I’m still not buying this spike protein thing. So people are exhaling proteins that other people are inhaling?
My wife has auto-immune issues (her system tends to overreact). On multiple occasions she has been around the recently vaccinated or boosted and immediately felt sick for a day, Now that she has actually had coivid, we’ll see if that goes away.
How do you think it gets eliminated from your system? Trillions of protein molecules released into your bloodstream by your own cells have to go somewhere.
You’ve got a few methods: perspiration, defecation, urination, exhalation
Liver and kidneys. As far as I know, the lungs only do gas exchange. Tiny molecules like ethanol can slip through, but proteins are huge.
Pfizer admitted as much in their trials.
https://twitter.com/drsimonegold/status/1387827663801393161/photo/1
I read that, but it’s not evidence that people can transfer spike proteins to each other. At the very least, I’d like evidence that they can be detected in people’s breath.
It also reads “and skin contact”, and the idea these proteins can travel through skin seems absurd.
Viral transmission through skin contact is a well known vector.
Admittedly, it’s not proven in the case of the vaccines, but if it warranted controls then there should be a burden upon the manufacturer to prove that it doesn’t.
These are unlike traditional inactivated vaccines with a limited load of viral particles. Your body is producing massive amounts of the specific protein almost like a replicating virus, and it’s unknown how you shed, how long you shed, and how transmissible that shedding is.
Tell me more about the USS Theodore Roosevelt. As I recall this highly contagious bug never even made it halfway thru the crew (and half that were positive were asymptomatic).
Even the cruise ship that was full of old people didn’t turn out anywhere near what the “models” predicted.
Not disagreeing with that. I’m asserting that the protein shedding is a total unknown and we have anecdotal data suggesting it occurs (as well as Pfizer’s own suspicions.)
Every shot generates trillions of spike protein molecules that have to be eliminated from the system over time. How does it get eliminated? What’s the risk factor?
We’re turning humans into walking talking toxic protein factories, certainly that warrants some new considerations over traditional vaccination methods.
And pay back for training ‘n such from what I skimmed through earlier. Such bs.

Existential threat
After a hearing on Monday in Plano, Texas, where an FBI agent testified about the results of the investigation into Rhodes and his associates, U.S. Magistrate Judge Kimberly Priest Johnson concluded that the disbarred Yale Law School graduate and Army veteran posed too great a threat to be allowed to go free pending his trial.
“The evidence shows Defendant orchestrated a large-scale attack on the federal government with the purpose of intimidating, by violence, federal officials and disrupting official governmental proceedings incident to the transfer of power in the Executive Branch following a national election,” Johnson wrote in her 17-page decision.
In an important acknowledgement of Rhodes’ significance to another investigation — the Jan. 6 select committee’s probe of the attack on the Capitol — Johnson emphasized that Rhodes would be permitted to testify to the congressional panel under a previously issued subpoena. Rhodes has indicated he was scheduled to testify in February.
Prosecutors say Rhodes was the mastermind of a plot to violently prevent the transfer of power from Donald Trump to Joe Biden, developing plans to halt the certification of the election that included amassing a weapons arsenal just outside of Washington. That “quick reaction force” was allegedly housed at a Comfort Inn in Arlington, Va., but was never deployed to the Capitol. Meanwhile, nearly two dozen Oath Keepers breached the Capitol alongside the pro-Trump mob that overwhelmed police, with some exchanging messages that they were seeking out Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
His vast private army of special forces commandos will spring him and lay siege to Washington. The nation is lost.

NPR had a story about the Danish omicron variant. The readermonkeys were instructed to use their giggly voices and they referred to this variant as the “little sister” of the original omnom.
Obviously they’re trying desperately to get people to recognize how much virus-killing Biden has done.
He should nominate that 1619 chick. Not only is she a tenured college professora, she’s an award winning journalismist. That means she’s super-duper smart!
Yes! Think of the time which will be saved in “deliberation”. She already has a list of who’s naughty or nice.
I think the baby-mama may be trying to put some stank on my hang-down. When I picked up Tres Ver 2.0 this morning she said “I have some beef wellington left over that I made last night. Want some?”

We have a good friend who works in the border patrol in New Mexico. It’s as big a shit show as you’ve hear.
I’m sure, but guess what – the workers don’t set the agenda. If they don’t like what the bosses want – then get the hell out.
The reality of course is, the workers do run the show in the govt. They all outlast the political appointees, even the President. That’s the fucking problem. They aren’t accountable and they know it.
Imagine being told to do a job and then getting ham-strung by the powers that be? It’s what I deal with every day but at much lower stakes.
If I were a decision maker, the US govt would be saving millions of dollars. They don’t pay me to make decisions.
In these times of darkness and uncertainty, there is still one thing that never disappoints. Light rail!
You can count on light rail to rack up amazing cost overruns and never be completed on time. You don’t have to worry about light rail being efficient and cost effective.
The original cost estimate was $980M. Now it is going to be $2.5B (but rest assured it will be much higher).
You also don’t have to worry about any govt worker having an epiphany and stopping work on this project:
I’m sure by 2027, the Rona will be solved and workers will be flooding back to downtown. No need to re-examine the need for this money pit.
By the way right now the train is costing $32,600 per foot.
Tundra is definitely wanking off to this story. He LOVES the Met Council and all their mighty deeds.
(The Met Council is an abomination of a govt organization that consists of appointed hacks. They do the regular pols dirty work in pushing through unpopular wastes of money. You can hate on them all you want, but you can’t vote them out. And the regular pols act shocked when they waste $2.5B and then say “but there is nothing we can do”)
Wow. It’s not even my money any more and I’m still pissed.
Too bad your pal lost to Walz.

Listen, Fat! Inflation is an asset! When all this is done, the higher cost means that the citizens of Minnesota will own a transportation system that is EVEN MORE VALUABLE THAN PROJECTED! 2.5 billion is WAAAY more than 0.98 Billion! So much more value!
Especially when the cars end up full of hobos spanking their monkeys and spreading hobo dick cheese and jizz everywhere!

You can’t be racist if you are racist against the right type of people it is totes cool to be racist to….
You can only be racist if you have power. No, not political, economic, social or other such power. Special white privilege power.

Last spring, warehouse workers in Bessemer, Ala., held the first Amazon union vote in the U.S. in years but overwhelmingly voted against unionizing. Later, the NLRB ruled Amazon’s anti-union campaign tainted that election enough to scrap the results and set a revote. That new election begins next week with almost 6,200 warehouse workers eligible to vote. Results are expected in late March.
Everybody knows unions are what made this country successful.
Unions had their time. They might just have them again but not in the present form.
Neil Young agrees
I suppose Amazon has steeled itself against the results. (On that tangent — hope Lachowsky is doing well…)
Voting in Bessemer is quite a process.

GAH!!! The kids still have lice. My kerosene comment the other day was hyperbole but, I think I might have to employ it after all. This Rid stuff doesn’t seem to be very efficacious. Sure, I wanted to spend my day washing all the bedlinens.
Nix.
We lived that too.
The pyrethrins only work after they hatch. It doesn’t impact the nits or the eggs.
So what is happening is the buggers are hatching and the process starts all over.

You need to essentially nuke all the linens of everybody in the house.
My son didn’t have a heavy infestation, but it got my wife too. Me, being follically challenged, had no issues.
After that, lots of nit combing on both my son and wife followed by the pyrethrins. We had only one secondary infestation. Still took a solid week to get out of the house.
Head shaving
Yep. Followed by 10 minutes of noggin in the snow bank.
Interesting bit of trivia: Almost all mammals have a species of body louse that’s specific to them. Humans are the oddballs, having two: Head lice and pubic lice. Human pubic lice (Pthirus pubis) are genetically most closely related to the body lice of gorillas (Pthirus gorillae).

My wife had lice once, we think she got it from a hotel.
My son and I had short hair, and didn’t get any.
She was really freaked out about maybe having to shave her head.
She went to Walgreens and bought ALL of the lice shampoo, made my son and me wash our hair with it and then she washed her hair many, many, many times.
She managed to get rid of them that day.
I was surprised because she has the thickest hair of any woman I know.
I lived through that as well. I took every sheet, pillow, piece of clothing to the garage and nuked with insecticide smoke canisters and then washed them. And also did a very thorough magnifier and strong light based search of everyone’s head before letting people off the wood floor onto carpet. Getting the eggs out of hair is a huge pain. And other comments also indicated the eggs are resistant to anything you can put on your skin.
Whelp. Off to eat a can of soup and rail against the sky.
Last night, I made boiled new potatoes and Italian sausage. This morning, I took the few taters left, smashed them in a bowl with butter and sour cream, sliced the remaining sausage in, and topped the whole mess with 3 sunny-side eggs and a handful of sharp cheddar. It was very, very good.
I have a fridge full of leftovers, primarily the Ghetto Chicken Florentine, Meatloaf, and a hunk of Gyro meat. Not mention beef wellington.

:picard-face-palm: Purposefully diminishing the quality of our armed forces (for something that your military aged, should-be-fit-if-you-aren’t-a-rainbow-unicorn-in-the-Pentagon adult should shrug off almost always)…. that sounds awfully like the definition of a certain capital crime….
Out of fantasy land where the brass (and civilian oversight is someday held accountable) — you’d think they’d at least rotate the jab and keep crew off the flight line or other critical tasks for a couple of weeks (or however long the side effects tend to take). I suppose that would require admitting there’s a solid chance for problems.
And yeah, maybe it is bunk — but it certainly wouldn’t surprise me at this point.
Checks too many boxes to be true.
It sounds too much like a deathbed “I wish I had got the vaxx.”
OR… it could be that the guy realized what was happening on final and wanted to get out one last radio call – so that everyone would know what actually happened when he died. If he hadn’t, they’d be calling it pilot error (as usual) and this guy’s body would have been fish bait at the bottom of the sea and no one would have known anything. His family would have been told he was a fuckup.
(FWIW, I have some insider info that suggests this is true and was leaked by some very, very pissed off people.)
Now that we have poisoned our entire military we are ready for war!
Well, in one little positive piece of news it looks like Denmark is scrapping all remaining Vid restrictions come Feb. 1.
Meh. The metropolitan area of the city I currently reside in (Dallas) has way more people than Denmark and we don’t have mandates either.
Denmark doesn’t count as anything.
I’d have to disagree. Not that this is paradigm shifting in regards to the Vid panic, but it counts for more than its population or more than Dallas. At this point the blue areas of the US are obviously going to do the opposite of whatever the Elephant led areas are doing. It’s only going to change when enough other places (mostly in Europe I’d say) change their response. This sucks, but I believe it to be very much true. If in the next week you saw five more Western Euro countries follow the tack of England and Denmark I’d say the likelihood of many restrictions left in blue states would also disappear.
In the past I would have agreed, but I’m not sure anymore. The misinformation censors have been getting even more aggressive in the past week or two.
At this point it wouldn’t surprise me if life never truly gets back to normal for Dem controlled America. They are certainly not going to lead the way out of this madness, the only hope is that they follow. They’ve proven themselves to be quite happy doing exactly the opposite of places like Florida and Texas, and if Dem run places love them one thing it’s the Euro socialist model. They are fucking obsessed with how great it is. They go to Europe on vacation once for 2 weeks and are experts on how wonderful it is over there. England was, of course, a much bigger deal, and now we see another country joining it. We shall see if more go along, but if they do that would be much more of a push to Dem areas here to follow than any Red states doing so.
Agree. (but I have been wrong for two years) Dallas means shit. European countries shedding the mandates/restrictions is far more telling at how long they can keep this up. In my own “blue” state, the Gov threw in the towel months (?) ago.
I honestly have no idea – I could see it going either way.
I have NO difficulty imagining Gov. Rached tsk-tsking at England and Denmark and gasbagging about how she’s going to remain firm and resolute in the face of this crisis herpity derpity doo, followed by tightening the screws even further.
I think that is also very much a possibility Rhy. I’m hoping that my scenario is the path, but I don’t think it’s certain even if all W Europe went that way. I think abortion is a much different issue and much easier for the left to ignore. Abortion laws vary more across Europe than even here among states. The average lefty has zero fucking idea of what abortion laws are in Europe, I’ve seen this a number of times. Vid restrictions are a much more out in the open thing.
Denmark has been held up as an example of a country that has done well, especially relative to those Swedes, so it should be a big deal, but it will probably be ignored. Just they ignore that those Scandinavian paradises have things like really low corporate tax, extremely high taxes on the middle class, school choice, etc.
European countries also have more abortion restrictions that we do. Suddenly “be more like Europe” doesn’t have the same resonance with the crowd that always says that. You can expect the same here.

Ok — maybe the revelations in Prisoner of Azkhaban that Ron’s been inadvertently sleeping with a creepy middle aged dude for the last 5 years or so might merit a little warning against throwing up in your mouth….

Preaching to the faithful
President Biden will meet with the chief executives of 10 major corporations on Wednesday to promote the potential business benefits of his stalled spending bill as Democrats look to salvage key parts of the social safety net and climate change package.
The meeting includes CEOs who support Biden’s signature Build Back Better plan, according to a White House official. Biden is expected to highlight how the spending plan could “make the U.S. economy more competitive, increase worker productivity and workforce participation, lower inflation over the long-term, and strengthen business growth.”
——-
The White House said it remained confident that Democrats could approve large portions of the legislation and reach an agreement with Manchin. White House chief of staff Ron Klain told The Wall Street Journal recently that the Biden team wants to get the legislation approved as quickly as possible.
“One lesson we learned in the first year is, I think, the less we talk about our negotiations with specific senators and congressmen, the better we are, so I’m going to say our talks with Sen. Manchin will proceed directly and privately,” Klain told the Journal.
The less you know, the better we like it.

And, if the official recommended use for the N95 is single use, or not more than 5 times, how am I to get 2500 hours of use out of it? And if I do replace it as recommended, how are the hours of protection then not infinite?
Shhhhh. SCIENCE!
