Last weekend OMWC was cleaning the van, this weekend he said he was making his special candy recipe. When I asked who’s recipe he was using, he said, “Shuglin”. Hey, I respect the hustle. He has to get ready for Spring. Here at the L household, we are 5 weeks away from boy #4 being full-term. It is the time of nesting, and I am throwing away perfectly good shit and putting together not only a new crib, but random other furniture that has been deemed “mission critical” by Mrs. L. This is my fourth rodeo, so I don’t even put up a fight. A pregnant woman will murder you now and cry about it 10 minutes later. It’s cool. I got snipped. 4th boy is last boy. And you better believe I showed up to the follow up appointment to make sure all the swimmers are out of the pool.

Meat is LIFE. h/t FdA
Let’s all appreciate Ann Wilson with special appearance by Disco Luke Skywalker on lead electric guitar
Excellent. I will up the meat consumption levels around here. “I am following the SCIENCE.”
⬅
Dammit, I’m confused. Didn’t we just recently learn from some broad with an Indoctrinate degree that eating meat is white supremacy?
So what does that make BBQ joints?
KKK sleeper cells?
Church?
They also discovered that the compound appears to kill bacteria by disrupting their cell membranes.
The line between killing one kind of cell and killing another…..like my cells…..is a thin one.
What could possibly go wrong?
Ya no shit. Because you can do it does not mean you should do it.
All bacteriocidal antibiotics kill one kind of cell (bacteria) while not killing mine. The ones in common use have been thoroughly tested and the side effects are well known.
Bacteria over time have developed resistance to many of these antibiotics, so I’m all in favor of new treatments; however that thin line does exist so there needs to be a lot more research and testing for this (or any other) one. Rush to market is a bad idea unless you own stock in certain Big Pharma corporations.
Are the side effects well known? In my latest audio book listening binge I listened to Super Gut. In the book Dr Davis argues if you have ever taken an antibiotic you have fucked your gut biome but it can be repaired in most cases. I am a yogurt making fiend now. Today some kefir is going to be keefed. I don’t think antibiotics are so selective that they only kill the “bad” bacteria.
Yeah, they do fuck your gut up because they kill the friendly bacteria, this is known. They also knock out some very bad infections which left untreated will fuck you up much worse. But they should not be used unless they are needed; doctors have for a long time been prescribing antibiotics for viral infections like cold and flu and this causes all kinds of issues.
They did a study and most of this over-prescribing has been due to doctors wanting to appear to be “doing something” for an ailment that just takes time to get better.
My husband used to suffer from diverticulitis, having to miss a few days of work about once a month. The doctors wanted to cut 8 inches of his large intestine out.
I (being an observant kinda gal) had noticed his pain seemed worse with a lot of dairy products. So I put him on OTC probiotics, including lactic acidophilus.
He was CURED miraculously by taking them every day since. That simple medicine works wonders and changes life for the better.
When he was hospitalized last year and on extreme IV antibiotics for his strep blood infection, the doctors allowed and even endorsed me giving him a daily probiotic pill. They freely acknowledged that it was a great thing, but that the hospital and AMA didn’t endorse it so they officially couldn’t prescribe it.

Russia Threatens ‘Serious Military’ Consequences If Sweden, Finland Join NATO After Ukraine Invasion
See what NOT joining NATO gets you. Best NATO membership drive eva!
If expanding NATO was a good idea, Clinton, et al would’ve invited in Yeltsin-era Russia. After all, we don’t really mind autocrat/dictator types, *cough* Turkey *cough*.
This is the biggest tell that something else is afoot. Yeltsin was no Putin. There was no explicable reason to reject even the possibility of admitting Russia to NATO.
SLD: NATO should have been abolished
“There was no explicable reason to reject even the possibility of admitting Russia to NATO.”
Isn’t the whole point of NATO to defend Western Europe against Russia?
No, NATO was formed to oppose the USSR (which later formed its own rival, the Warsaw Pact). Russia is not the USSR. Russia in the 90s was the reeling capital province of a collapsed empire. Keeping post-Soviet Russia out of the anti-Soviet league was an intentional snub.
That having been said, and thinking on how Thatcher opposed German reunification, perhaps there was a concern that if the former Soviet states were admitted to the circle of friends too soon, they’d all form a revanchist bloc against the West. This at least is a facially plausible justification for keeping Russia out at the time but when you consider the Balkan Wars, the apparent enmity of the U.S. towards post-Soviet Russia is hard to deny.
“No, NATO was formed to oppose the USSR (which later formed its own rival, the Warsaw Pact). Russia is not the USSR.”
Granted there were fourteen of so other countries, many of which are still strong allies, it’s pretty much the same military power under a different government.
To put it another way, what’s the point of having Russia etc. join NATO? To defend against China?
It’s 1992, and every communist government in Europe is gone. The entire purpose of NATO has just spontaneously and peacefully (bullet to Ceaușescu’s head notwithstanding) disappeared. Russia is on a path to liberalism and democracy. The West won the Cold War, and decisively so. Either NATO dissolves or else reimagines its purpose.
Why reimagine its purpose as anti-Russian?
Because the Cold Warriors in charge at the time stuck with what they knew.
Fast forward to 2014. Were they wrong?
That being said, I agree NATO should have been dissolved.
“Russia is on a path to liberalism and democracy. ”
Looks like they took a detour.
Fast forward to 2014. Were they wrong?
Not necessarily, though that’s arguably a self-fulfilling prophecy, but by excluding them from your circle of friends, they have every right to act the part of adversary. If you dislike them, even for “rational” reasons, their response is going to be mutual.
Looks like they took a detour.
Their democracy seems just as real and liberal as Canada or Australia’s right now.
Because they wanted to alienate Russia in order to keep it as a useful foil against Europe, which they wanted to keep in line. There were plenty of foreign policy realists, some of the most influential statesmen over the previous few decades included, who predicted in the 90’s that preserving and expanding NATO would lead directly to the situation we are seeing today. They were roundly ignored in favor of the burgeoning American hegemony.
Add to that, the NATO bureaucracy is its own lobby. They didn’t want to claim victory and go home. They wanted to keep their grift going.
Rothbard was right. Running around the globe fighting the commies in every hellhole would create a massive bureaucracy in our own country that would never cede its power willingly. Everything since the fall of the Soviet Union has been about creating new justifications for the federal security apparatus that the Cold War birthed.
I think if we could have won a decisive early victory against communism, things would have turned out quite differently. The length of the Cold War created the opportunities for graft and lobbying. But we foreclosed our own possibility at a decisive victory by relying heavily on the Soviets to keep the Eastern Front meat-grinder going. And the Soviets, quite understandably, were not about to give up what they had fought so hard and so bloodily to obtain. We outlasted the Soviet version of communism, but not the Maoist version, and now also we are discovering that we may have been conquered ourselves, not by without per se but from within.
NATO charter
Pretty words, which like the preamble to the U.S. constitution, have little relationship to the state of the organization today.
Moreover, liberal democracy has beclowned itself over the past few years, so I see no reason why it must be defended as such.
I dont think the charter is the problem. Its more that all/most EU countries are Socialist/Communist and they would rather gear up their govt and military to enforce mask mandates than have a small/medium but well trained and deadly military to defend against real threats.
Putin or Chinese communists ruling the World would be much worse. It could also be much better than the current state of govts.
Russia started the first war in Europe in almost 30 years.
It seems like a good idea to defend the rest of Europe FROM Russia.
Russia didnt have to attack Ukraine. NATO does not have a track record of attacking another nation that didnt attack a NATO member first. NATO is not a reasonable first strike threat to Russia. Honestly, the time to wipe Russia off the map was in 1990 when the USSR fell apart. I understand their nuclear missile and air defense readiness was in horrible shape.
Russia tends to be paranoid about threats that are not there and underestimate actual threats to Russia. See Nazi Germany.
The EU is more than capable of handling Russia. If it has the will. The EU has more than three times the population and ten times the economy, not to mention nuclear weapons. Europe is in a worse situation w/r/t Russia because of NATO – it allowed them to get flabby and unprepared in the false belief that the US could (never mind would) stop the Russian military.
Trump was right that they should contribute what each member nation promised. Its good for them to defend themselves from threats. As you said, their bureaucracy is the problem and grift is probably a big thing.
The more important thing was to get rid of Trump and nuke the EU economy over the Kungflu.
Im sure the EU will sally forth to Socialism bliss!
NATO does not have a track record of attacking another nation that didnt attack a NATO member first.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/NATO_bombing_of_Yugoslavia
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Unified_Protector
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/NATO_intervention_in_Bosnia_and_Herzegovina
And there’s also NATO antipiracy operations off Africa.
To say that NATO is strictly and merely a defensive alliance and not a general purpose military alliance is ridiculous.
So preventing or deterring piracy is being a military aggressor?
Thats why I didnt say that NATO “never” goes outside what most people consider as a defense org. I looked up NATO ops and saw a few that were questionable or outrageous.
The breakup of Yugoslavia caused refugees to flood into NATO member territory and NATOs mission was “peacekeeping”.
The NATO antipiracy operations off Africa could also have a nexus because NATO member ships were being attacked.
The NATO charter is vague enough, it can be shoehorned into almost any situation. The Founders did warn of foreign alliances with that in mind.
While NATO is not perfect and it probably pretty corrupt, an alternative might be worse or not work. Some NATO members have been in a long time, so ending NATO and starting a new alliance might bring a new set of problems. If because of NATO, Europe has only had two wars (Yugoslavia and Ukraine) that is a pretty good track record for an alliance.

There’s science, and then there’s SCIENCE!
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released new COVID-19 guidance on Friday, but it’s not going to have an immediate impact on Oregon.
The director of the CDC, Dr. Rochelle Walensky, says the country is “in a stronger place” and is able to loosen some of the COVID-19 protocols in place. This new framework greatly impacts who needs to mask inside.
——-
More than half of Oregon is in the low and medium categories; still, the Oregon Health Authority will not immediately lift the indoor mask mandate in place.
In an email from Rudy Owens, a public affairs specialist with OHA, on Friday, Owens said OHA is sticking with the decision to lift the indoor mask mandate in Oregon mid-March.
“OHA is reviewing the latest guidance that is being shared today by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),” Owens said over email. “We know many people will have questions about what the latest CDC guidance means for Oregon. Based on declining COVID-19 hospitalizations, Oregon will lift indoor masking and school masking requirements on March 19.”
I guess they want to follow the science at a safe distance.
Meanwhile, some jackass “doctor” was on my teevee this morning (until I could shut it off) saying to keep wearing a mask because it protects you from the unmasked people around you. They are incapable of any sort of rational consistency. They just say whatever pops into their heads.
I still say there’s a deep seated religious reason based in human psychology. It’s a fear of collective divine punishment that’s caused by people committing public sins. Those public sins involve not following the proper rituals. Avoiding taboos and the like.
This is exactly it. Same with Climate Hysteria. In the absence of God, people find a new way to self-flagellate themselves.
Walking around Oregon yesterday, it’s pretty much over. Several companies I deal with who were hard markers don’t seem to care, although if you go to downtown Portland or Eugene it is still mask season. Fucking sad.
Took the wife to VRC last night, people with no masks or masks pulled down. No one seemed to care.
Glad to hear that but Georgia has been maskless and all businesses open as normal for almost 2 years.
We dont get much media attention because of it.

For Amber Briggle, raising her 14-year-old trans son in Texas means packing lunches, coordinating rides to extracurriculars and planning sleepovers. Usually, it’s just like raising any other kid in America — except for when it’s a legislative year.
Legislative sessions in the state, which can last up to 140 days every two years, can be exhausting, she told NPR.
“It’s emotionally traumatizing,” Briggle said. “I’ve been seeing a therapist for years so I don’t cry in front of my kids over things that they shouldn’t have to worry about.”
Anti-trans rhetoric in Texas has grown louder in the past few weeks. Attorney General Ken Paxton — who broke bread with Briggle’s family years back — issued an opinion that likened gender-affirming surgery — a procedure that gives transgender people a body that aligns with their gender identity — to child abuse.
Days later, Gov. Greg Abbott doubled down with a letter calling on professionals, including teachers and doctors, to report parents who give their children gender-affirming care. The letter added that there would be similar reporting requirements for the general public, and consequences for those who don’t report
By all means, parade your psychotic delusions around for the enlightenment of the masses. Use your kids as stage props.
General Ken Paxton — who broke bread with Briggle’s family years back — issued an opinion that likened gender-affirming surgery — a procedure that gives transgender people a body that aligns with their gender identity — to child abuse.
It’s not like child abuse. It is child abuse.
?
“to report parents who give their children gender-affirming care”
I’m against children medically transitioning, but even if I were for it, the parents should know. Parents should know about any medical care their children receive.
So, if I’m following, minors can’t consent to getting a tattoo, but should be allowed to consent to getting their genitalia surgically altered?
That logic trap won’t last long. They’ll just make it legal for children to get tattoos.
Sure, just like they should be able to get an abortion or inoculations without parental approval. Maybe they should be able to use parental bank accounts or credit cards without permission as well.
Stop giving them ideas.
Clown world, dude. Clown world. Just roll with it.
We can’t trust teenagers to purchase nicotine (raised to 21+ here for nicotine) or alcohol, to get piercings or tattoos, participate in state sanctioned gambling, take out loans, sign contracts with private organizations… but student loans, hormone therapy, and specific other surgeries are OK. You just need to follow the SCIENCE.
Many of the very same people who think 16 year-olds should be able to vote, think they shouldn’t be able to vape until their 21. Fucking craziness.
They don’t think anyone should be able to vape, but they’re compromising on an age limit instead.
“140 days every two years”
So less than two days per week, a lot less. That’s exhausting?
This might be the most repugnant euphemism the NPR set has come up with yet.
Typical feminization of the English language. Or is it de-masculination? *shrugs*
Mutilation. The word is mutilation.
It some cases it’s accurate. In other cases it isn’t. If someone is a child, there is no good way to know.
“A retired Tampa police captain who gunned down a 43-year-old father after confronting the man over texting in a movie theater was cleared of second-degree murder and aggravated battery charges Friday night.
A jury declined to convict Curtis Reeves, 79, who in 2014 fatally shot Chad Oulson, 43, during the argument over the dad messaging his babysitter on his phone during the movie previews. Reeves sat impassively as the verdicts were returned, and hugged his lawyer after he was officially cleared on all counts.
The disagreement escalated and Oulson threw his popcorn at Reeves who shot him in the chest inside the Grove 16 movie theater in Wesley Chapel, a suburb of Tampa.
After the jury decision on Friday, Reeves smiled and joked with the press as he stopped for interviews outside the courthouse.
He also expressed regret for killing Oulson.”

WTF??
That just screams ‘more to the story’ to me.
I seem to remember him being convicted – was that overturned and a new trial granted?
They turned him down in his “stand your ground” hearing, which is a separate legal procedure. Had he succeeded there, he wouldn’t have had a full blown trial.
Cop claims the guy threw his phone in the cops face and was coming over the chair back at him, I’d imagine in a theater there would be some eye witnesses but I haven’t seen any discussion of the actual testimony in the case just he said/she said type stuff.
Kinda why speedy trial is important…eye witnesses from 8 years ago are no good.
On that alone, he should have been not even tried. If the State can’t get their shit together…hopefully family of dude that was shot sues the State for fucking this one up.
Ah, I didn’t catch the date, that’s nuts.
Dude almost half the old guys age coming over the chair on top him. I think both parties chose poorly that day. Also, I’m siding with the old man because theater texting.

As states pushed to criminalize gender-affirming care, the American Medical Association sent a letter to governors in April urging them to oppose state laws that would ban gender transition-related care. The American Academy of Pediatrics released a statement Thursday expressing its ongoing support for gender-affirming care for transgender youth.
We have seen just how dedicated the pediatricians are to the physical health and emotional well-being of the children they ostensibly care for.
It’s affirming, and its care. For the children. You’d have to be a monster to be opposed to it.
Amber Briggle noted that 2020 marked the onset of the pandemic in the U.S — it shut down schools, eliminated birthday parties and limited visits to grandparents, among other things.
“And yet these anti transgender bills the Texas legislature was so hell-bent on passing was more detrimental to these kids’ health than a global pandemic,” she said.
Right you are. Ride that hobbyhorse, Amber. Work yourself into an orgasmic lather.
Now Briggle’s eyes are on the federal Equality Act, which would expand Civil Rights Act protections to cover discrimination based on sex, sexual orientation and gender identity. It’s a way for allies in blue states to help red states, she said. She urges transgender allies across the country to call their senators to get it passed.
Whoa. That’s some powerful idiot-fu.
And there we have the answer to “Why the fuck doesn’t she move to a blue state where her daughter can hack off her tits no questions asked”.
It’s always “we must force everyone to conform to our lunacy” with these types.

Associate Professor Helen Petousis-Harris, a vaccinologist at the University of Auckland told Stuff NZ that she was disappointed with the decision and that it legally and morally undermines the mandates.
You know what REALLY morally undermines the mandates?
Hitler?
The salmon mousse?
“”The state leadership has said, ‘We would rather see dead children … instead of happy, loved, supported, thriving trans kids that are alive and well,’ ” Schelling told NPR.”
The data doesn’t support that it saves lives. In fact, the data doesn’t support shit. The sample sizes are too small, and the definitions are too inconsistent.
Regardless, I don’t see how not letting the parents know could prevent love and support.
Go fuck yourself.
Good morning, peeps!
Thanks for the lynx, Brett. It was fun to read the comments in the meat article. So many nutrition science experts.
Fourth kid, huh? I was just telling my wife the other day that I wish we’d had one or two more. The older they get, the more fun they are to have around. Good luck with your projects!
People have been told so many contradictory things about what is healthy eating, it is no wonder that confusion reigns.
Diana Rodgers and Robb Wolf are on the latest Rogan. They wrote a terrific book called Sacred Cow. Meat is life. Full stop.
In fact, nutrition advice over the years should have made everyone skeptical about pronouncements in the name of THE SCIENCE!
This.
It is because of this information environment that so many charlatans can get away with spouting BS about nutrition. When you can’t trust the experts, you start trusting the cranks.
Are eggs a superfood or deadly poison?
Flip a coin and find out!
An anecdote I had not heard until this week:
https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2011/06/24/137400235/lbj-fights-inflation-one-egg-at-a-time
It was scientific consensus!
The soul of the modern American left in a nutshell: they elect a President who gives them everything they want, and then backstab him.
Was that conversation while you were on the other side of the phone out of state, by any chance?

I wonder if an LS would fit. I’m pretty sure there’s not enough room for the twin cam heads on a Coyote.
Sweet!
Can’t you put an LS in anything? There is a reason they are so ubiquitous.
I’m waiting for somebody to figure out how to put one in an BMW Isetta.
it WILL fit
OK, here is where I draw the line.
Putting an SBC in ANYTHING other than a Chevy is a crime against humanity. Putting that fucking boat anchor in a car that isn’t designed for anywhere near the weight, the firewall cutting needed, forcing a complete redesign of brakes and suspension, etc. Doing it to a car that is dwindling in numbers, blech.
I don’t know man. This thing is a beauty.

Counterpoints-
The aluminum block LS most likely weighs only a few pounds more than the iron lump that’s already in it. LSes weigh ~350 lbs..I’m not sure what the volvo 4 weighs but I doubt it’s much less – it doesn’t have modern metallurgy, casting, and design on its side. None of the redesign would be required per se, although probably a good idea, esp. the brakes due to the increase in power for even a stock LS.
Even the original SBC isn’t a boat anchor. Thanks to thin-wall casting, it actually weighed less and produced more power than many of its existing contemporaries. There’s a reason Bizzarini (designer of many famous racing Ferraris) preferred it for his own designs.
The 122s isn’t rare exactly. There are still quite a few sitting in fields, rusting away. If putting an LS in one brings the car back into service instead of back to the earth, it’s a positive.
Just to be clear, this one is in great shape, and I wouldn’t change a thing on it. If I want to go crazy, there’s tons of shells out there.
A fool and his money
I can’t believe that thing hasn’t been upside down yet.
I rolled a 73 Bronvo, lucky to be alive. 100K, laughable.
Bronco, not Bronvo
I’m waiting for somebody to figure out how to put one in an BMW Isetta.
No, no, no, silly. You put a Hyabusa in an Isetta. And turbo it.

Nice!
I watched a few minutes of the Russian ambassador trying to justify attacking Ukraine while at the same time denying bombing inside Ukraine at all. The US Ambassador called him a liar and then proceeded to name all the other nations siding against Russia but are not on the Security Council. It was a long list.

Check out the video.
The mirror image of the Western liberal’s fairytale version of Ukraine exists the Western rightist’s fairytale version of Russia.
It’s false choices, all the way down.

I would have been mightily tempted to take credit for it, myself.
Evidently all 13 Ukrainians are confirmed dead.
Im glad Ukrainians are standing up for themselves.

Wish I could join you all. Have fun. Hopefully next time.

I hope Krinkovs become a soccer mom accessory.
ITKWIMAITYD.
Seriously, what worries me about all these Ukrainians getting handed AKs is the lack of training. Dunno what is being done, if anything, while the Russians dither around in the hinterlands, but it can’t be enough.
@db, in case you remember our zoom discussion of Gayane Ballet and that CD I couldn’t find, I found it.
