Happy February everybody. I guess I’m about a week late on it, but that’s how the calendar fell. Let’s see… this weekend, we rode yet another scale model train, the baby learned how to suck down his own pouch of applesauce (technically, I guess the 2-year old’s since he scavenged them off the floor), and my parents — once of the “you’ll rot your damn brain with those video games” generation took the older two for a night and returned me a pair of zombies who looked and acted like they were coming off a weeklong pill bender. So much random emoting. Their minds were just gone. Luckily, an afternoon of “go play outside” and a night of sleep got them back within tolerances. Just normal crazy this morning. How the heck are y’all?
It is a slow news day y’all. It’s like some goddam balloon sucked all the air out of the news. Except for that horrible stuff in Turkey, but I can’t bring myself to link to that.
More proof that bioethicists are experts at neither.
I’m pretty sure “walking teabag style” is an old Halo trick.
This guy obviously wants a fight with our own Sloopy.
$100K to have this guy talk? How much to make him shut up?
These guys are coming to town tomorrow, but I won’t get there because kids.
A recent report by a Norwegian professor proposed that brain-dead women, and even men, should be used as surrogates “for anyone who wishes to avoid the risks and burdens of gestating a foetus in their own body.”
Consent is required until it isn’t, I guess.
Necrophiliacs agree
Asshole mentioned in the dead thread would agree as well.
I wonder if it would become obvious when he’s staring at the end of a barrel.
Men can get pregnant.
Check please!
I am looking forward to History of the World Part II the miniseries.

Wow, who’d have thought Fauci was a greedy bastard in it for the money like every other “public servant”?
Pretty much everyone with a brain.
“How much to make him shut up?”
*checks ammo prices*
Actually, being fairly familiar with the lecture bureau world, $100K for someone of Fauci’s fame/notoriety/impact is really fairly cheap.
I’m sure Michelle Obama commands much more than that for her accomplishment of being married to someone famous.
Former Presidents like Bush, Bill and Barack get in the hundreds of thousands per gig, as does Hillary.
TBH Fauci isn’t asking for much more than the typical “inspirational speaker” like “the lady who climbed Mt. Everest!”
“New Study: Walking “Teabag Style” for a Few Minutes a Day Could Have Important Public Health Benefits”

Well,Victor Fleming got both The Wizard of Oz and Gone with the Wind out in 1939, so while what Zbrooks did is indeed awesome, it’s not unprecedented.

The end of the series was a bit WTF? (dude singing Dem Bones and all)
Total mindfunk.
Coincidentally or not, the “two part ending that goes completely bonkers” was duplicated in (at least) Mr. Robot and Neon Genesis Evangelion.
Evangelion just went completely off the rails.

I have been binging Danger Man on Prime lately and you can see the genesis of The Prisoner in the episode Colony Three (Season 3, episode 3)

Hilton CEO Chris Nassetta says selling his black Porsche 944 was the best financial decision he ever made.
That’s because buying it in the first place was his worst. He was in his 20s and fresh off a breakup when he saw the sleek model in a used car lot near his home in Arlington, Virginia. He had a third party ensure the car and the deal were legitimate, then paid $20,000 for it, taking out a loan to cover part of the cost.
20k for a 944? What a maroon.
I’ll leave it to somebody else to debate whether or not a 944 is in fact a Porsche.
He had a third party ensure the car
Ensure that it was in fact a car?
Ensure that the car was, in fact, legitimate (as well as the deal) is how I read that. i.e. Not stolen, clean title, actual Porsche or something.
Okay, that does make sense.
Repair costs suggest it absolutely is a Porsche.
I drove a Scirocco back then. My buddy had a 944 that was barely faster than my VW. Pass.
Sciroccos had a reputation for being pretty quick.
It was appropriately light. Fun car that didn’t cost a lot. Perfect for a young dude.
I recall an old commercial where they claimed a Sirrocco could outrun a Corvette in a slalom course.
Started out with “Of course a Porsche 911 can out run a …”
The old David Horowitz show did a fact check, and because of the sloppy rear end in the Vette, it actually outran both the Sirrocco and the 911.
Only on a slalom course, though (circa 1977). The slop in the rear end imparted some 4 wheel steering that lead to faster slalom times.
Mid ’70s Porsches were scary fucking cars at speed. Throttle lag oversteer is no joke.
Mid ’70s Porsches were scary fucking cars at speed. Throttle lag oversteer is no joke.
Even into the ’80s. A dude I know owed a high end bodyshop and always claimed 911s put his kids through college.
Can’t puss out on hard curves!
A 944 is, in fact, a porsche. The 924 was a vw/audi.
Yep. It was also the 914 that was a VW.
Eh, a 1984 base model 944 had an MSRP of around $21K. Add in a few options, you’re talking twenty-five large. If he got it at 18 months old or so, he might not have overpaid by that much. But it was still a stupid decision. Never spend more than a year’s salary on a car, kids. That’s a move I expect the 430 credit score people to make.
And you have to remember, in the 80s Porsche was trying to diversify from the 911 line by making front-engine GT cars like the 928 (remember the famous chase scene in Risky Business?) and Jake’s 944. They’re both well-balanced, great driving cars for their era — if rather underpowered by modern standards. But then, my ’16 GT4 is underpowered by modern standards.
I remember the first time I related to the pointy-haired boss in a Dilbert cartoon. It was very disturbing to see me in him.
I worked for not one but two companies who hired Scott Dams’s inspiration for the pointy haired boss to design and implement their software development methodology. They merged, I left.
Way to go off half cocked.
In 2008, the U.S. Supreme Court in District of Columbia v. Heller held (5-4) that the Second Amendment guarantees an individual the right to possess firearms independent of service in a state militia and to use firearms for traditionally lawful purposes, including self-defense within the home. The court majority, along with many members of Congress, ignore the first three words of the Second Amendment, which explain why the right to firearms exists: “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
Surely the authors of the Constitution had in mind a militia organized by and subject to the government — not a ragtag crowd of ruffians carrying shotguns and AK-47s around an abortion clinic or into the U.S. Capitol.
They didn’t. And don’t call me “Shirley.”
The Republican virus eh? CWAA
https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/38396-there-are-some-ideas-so-absurd-that-only-an-intellectual
“…ignore the first three words of the Second Amendment…”
The first three words are “A well regulated”.
Yeah. Would think they would want to ignore the operative clause of the amendment. But hey, they do they.
No, they do us. Rather prison style, I might add.
Of course! Only people who owned regulated wells could keep and bear arms. BRILLIANT!
Deep….
The people that wrote the Constitution had just a decade prior committed high treason and fought a war to overthrow their lawful government.
So, no, they did not intend for guns to only be in the hands of a state-sponsored militia.
They really didn’t intend for there to be a state-sponsored militia; except for in times of war.
The same guys who staged a violent revolt against a overbearing and distant government? Yes, a militia subject to the government is exactly what they had in mind. 🙄
“…not a ragtag crowd of ruffians carrying shotguns and AK-47s…into the U.S. Capitol.”
But enough about the cops.

I am guessing rotisserie.
They are blissfully ignorant of the fact that at the time it was written, “well regulated” meant “in good working order”. A watch that kept accurate time was said to be well regulated. It did not mean controlled and restricted by the government.
Or that the militia organized prior to the revolutionary war was not authorized or under the authority of the lawful government.
You get a look at that in Last of the Mohicans. The locals did not regard themselves as being under the orders of British officers, even when they had volunteered to be militia to the redcoats’ regular army.
Well regulated mean, simply, not a mob.
Nothing more, nothing less.

The website describes Fauci as someone “who’s career warrants execution under immense pressure that can alter the course of human existence.
But not someone who grasps correct grammar.
His work on domestic as well as global health issues has saved millions of lives.
Ignore all those dead gays in the 80s.
This high level of research, discovery and execution is amazing given the grave challenges he faces on a daily basis,” the agency writes.
Which research, exactly, did Fauchi perform? How to monetize publicly funded research for personal gain doesn’t count.

Look at little Nazie go!
I don’t care about your stick. I don’t care about how you like to puck.
Never once when I was playing did I wonder if my matchup was gay, straight, or trans.
Maybe if they also play at the Super Rink in May you can attend both!
I’d pay cash money to watch a sled hockey team play a trans team. Too bad hockey doesn’t have shirts vs skins like b-ball because that would make it even better.
By necessity, all the local/club teams are coed because there just aren’t enough players for women-only teams. So we just lucked into not having to deal with this problem. Woman, man, trans, whatever, you can play on any team. The only difference is they have teams for men and women at the Paralympic level, but that’s the IOC’s problem, not ours.
There is a pickup league here in the Twin Cities that is run by the “Hockey Nazi”. She runs the entire league and they have pretty much tied up all the ice time at rinks around the area so if you want to play some random game you have to play by her rules.
The way it works is you sign up and are assigned a skill level. Then you can look through a calendar for a game being formed up for players with your skill level and you can join. The number one complaint I always here about her is that she will not allow any games with a mismatch of skill levels. So if you are a good player but want to play with your buddies who stink on ice, you can’t do that. Even if you promise to not try hard.
Not only will she shut down the game, but she’ll threaten the players involved in it. Tells them that if they try that again, they’ll get kicked out of the league.
Pretty crazy. I talked with her several times when I was helping a group try to set up something similar in another city. She was an insane control freak.
Kinda defeats the premise of pickup hockey. I loved pickup games because of the fact you might get some AAA guy jump on the ice and challenges your play.
Our B team is officially without a league this year. We used to be in a league based in Michigan, but the woman who ran it was similar to your Hockey Nazi. She wouldn’t allow some of our players on the ice because they had played on our A team and were “too good”. Once she pulled one of our guys off the ice 10 minutes into a game. He was a big black guy and there were younger players on the other team. (That looked pretty bad). The overtime rules kept changing, as did the number of minutes in each period. We tried to form our own league, but after one season the other teams quit and joined the Michigan league.
Running a league is not easy.

This is how it should be. The organ and tissue industry isn’t pretty. Everyone makes lots of money of off tragic deaths except for the actual ones affected. It’s framed with very manipulative messaging as organ donation being a selfless act. Frankly used car salesman have higher morals than the call centers where they badger bewildered and grieving family members into saying yes. Give people the option to sell either their own organs or their deceased one’s organs at fair market price. But the reality is that human tissue isn’t competitive with synthetic options if the material has to be paid for.
When I went out with surgeons to high-end steakhouses for “educational presentations” and open bars for the sales teams, I always wondered how many dead children it took to pay for that dinner or bar bill. The public have no idea how they’re being taken.

WRT our National Nightmare – The Great Chinese Spy Balloon. Long ago and far away when I was in NORAD the Key West aerostat (basically a tethered blimp carrying a radar) broke its tether and started drifting around Gulf. Several days of hilarity ensued. Jets were scrambled but had a hard time intercepting it as it was basically stationary compared to the fighters. They did manage a couple of gun passes to little effect. Such devices have a huge volume but very low internal pressure. Bullet holes are just minor leaks. As the clouds came out the blimp cooled and descended. A fisherman tied his boat to it and called the sheriff. Before the AF could arrive the clouds went away, the blimp warmed and started to rise threatening to take the boat with it. The cycle was repeated until enough helium had leaked out and the sun went down.
LOL
I got low-altitude buzzed by a jet while sailing in the Caribbean one time. They basically have to stand the jet on end in order to slow down enough for a visual pass.
To say it was loud is a massive understatement.
While stationed at Irwin, adjacent to China Lake, I was buzzed late at night, at what felt like 50 ft, by a Navy jet (F14) with after-burners lit while driving to Las Vegas.
I damn near shit my pants.
I was asleep on my bunk at about 10pm. They would do these low-altitude flybys at night to minimize getting shot at.
I actually fell out of my bunk and was looking around the cabin crazed because I thought the boat was exploding.
Do we have verification the balloon was even Chinese?
Pretty sure the CCP said flat out it was theirs, yeah.
And then got all indignant when it was shot down after collecting all the data. I’d be surprised if it hadn’t already sent it all back to beijing.
Yup. I think that’s what most folks think.

So I go to the pet store to buy some food for our cats, and there’s a car in the parking lot with a big sign in the back seat (crudely lettered, like a sign you would take to a demonstration) which says “If I wanted the government in my uterus, I would fuck as senator” I think, OK, there’s a wokester for sure.
Inside there is a woman with half yellow hair and half black hair wearing a mask and I think to myself that must be the owner of that car. (There are maybe a half dozen cars in the lot and many people in the building, so it’s not a sure thing.) Sure enough, we check out at about the same time and I see this young lady getting into said car. Stereotypes confirmed.
Oops, make that “fuck a senator.
I’d be really tempted to print up a card: “Okay with murder? Fuck around and find out!” and leave it under her wiper.
She was buying cat food in bulk, wasn’t she?
LOL, there were two big bags of some kind of food.
I’m reminded of the guy who was standing in line at Wal-Mart with a fifty-pound bag of dog food in his cart. The lady behind him in line looked and asked, “Oh, do you have a dog?”
The guy replied, “No, this is for me. I’m on the Dog Food Diet. See, when you start feeling hungry, you just eat a few pieces of dog kibble. Takes care of your appetite, it’s nutritionally complete, works great. I’ve lost forty pounds, and now that I’m out of the hospital, I’m going back on the diet.”
“Hospital? Did the dog food make you sick?”
“Oh, no, not at all. I was sitting in the middle of the road licking my balls and I got hit by a car.”

Interesting article. He’s positing that the degradation of the mRNA vaccines (which the standard was lowered for) may have caused coding for random proteins to imprint on cells. Thus the vaccine which should have only caused you to produce spike protein, may be also causing to produce all sorts of random nasty stuff.
https://boriquagato.substack.com/p/are-covid-vaccines-coding-for-that
AstraZeneca isn’t mRNA.
He doesn’t mention AZ directly and I don’t know what the rate of degradation for adenovirus DNA vaccines is. But mRNA is quite unstable, thus the billions spent on the logistics required to get it out to the populace.
Better than Trump, nyah nyah nyah!
Past surveillance balloons were discovered at the beginning of the Biden administration because President Joe Biden directed the intelligence community “to increase both our vigilance and the assets that we were deploying to be able to detect Chinese efforts to spy against the United States,” said national security adviser Jake Sullivan.
“[B]ecause the intelligence community made this a priority at the direction of President Biden, we enhanced our surveillance of our territorial airspace, we enhanced our capacity to be able to detect things that the Trump administration was unable to detect,” Sullivan said at a Monday event with the US Global Leadership Coalition. “And were also able to go back and look at the historical patterns. And that led us to come to understand that during the Trump administration, as you said, there were multiple instances where the surveillance balloons traversed American airspace and American territory.”
Give me a fucking break.
Do you not see his greatness?
The intelligence community, ever vigilant, enhanced its surveillance capabilities. Also, some folks in Billings looked up into the sky and saw the balloon.
This.
Unable to detect balloons that are as big as a goddamn barn? Bullshit…also, did they drift across just bout the entire width of the US or did they briefly encroach?
LOL, our radar capabilities are far better than that and have been for many decades.
Unasked questions, just who knew about those previous attempts and didn’t bother to inform higher?
Or he was notified, but it was in a footnote on a briefing paper tucked into the middle of a stack of unrelated papers on a day when he was leaving early.
Missing from the story is anything about the dates and flight paths of those balloons.
That we failed to detect, but we know all about now.
Joe’s Corvette has a flux capacitor.
General: “We were completely inept until a doddering mumbler shambled into our office and whipped us into shape.”
we enhanced our capacity to be able to detect things that the Trump administration was unable to detect
OMB must have directly debilitated the existing radar and airspace monitoring infrastructure.
And though there has been criticism that the balloon was allowed to linger for too long over the US, VanHerck said on Monday that he and the commander of US Strategic Command worked “in close coordination” and “took maximum precaution” to prevent Chinese intelligence collection.
The balloon was detected early enough to allow the US to gather intelligence on it while it transited the US before it was shot down, VanHerck said.
“There was a potential opportunity for us to collect intel where we had gaps on prior balloons,” he said. “And so I would defer to the intel community. But this gave us the opportunity to assess what they were actually doing, what kind of capabilities existed on the balloon, what kind of transmission capabilities existed, and I think you’ll see in the future that that time frame was well worth its value to collect over.”
Wagons were circled. Asses were covered.
They weren’t spying on us. We were spying on them!
One of these days, they’ll finally get around to closing the mineshaft gap.
opportunity to assess what they were actually doing, what kind of capabilities existed on the balloon
Then shoot it down immediately and collect/study the wreckage.
This really isn’t that hard. I swear everything wrong this administration does is deliberate. No one is that incompetent.

There was a team of Chinamen on board that balloon, making notes and drawings by hand. As long as they never made it home we have nothing to worry about. We managed to shoot the carrier pigeons.
Cool story earlier about, I assume, a time traveler trying to put Hitler on a different path. It reminds me of the times in history where a few seconds or a few inches could have radically altered history. Like Hitler would have died by Stauffenberg’s bomb if the briefcase had fit better under the pedestal conference table. Or Washington taking numerous bullets through his coat at Braddock’s defeat. Or U.S. Grant, during the Mexican War, standing next to a captain whose head was blown off by a cannon ball. Or Lee having his cheek grazed by a minie ball at the Wilderness. Maybe we know someone like, say, Audie Murphy, only because a 100 other guys just as courageous had the misfortune to be in the wrong place by a second or an inch?
