The Cowboys beat the hapless Raiders. The CFP poll will be out today. I’m interested to see how they keep Bama in the top 8 or 9. And across the pond, Germany and the Netherlands punched their tickets to the WC and a couple more teams will do the same today. That’s it for sports.
Please explain what “more complicated” means, AP. If anything, they’re being deliberately murdered, and Trump understated what’s happening to them. But I guess according to the media, christians can’t be targeted the same way white people can’t be victims of racism.
The irony is thick here. But I doubt the woman who said her entire campaign was being run to engage in a witch hunt and find a crime to prosecute the president with will see that irony.
If you’re not on twitter, you’re missing out. This has been spectacularly hilarious.
I don’t think these dumbasses know what “consent” means. In fact, I’m sure of it.
What a fucking creep. But I shouldn’t be surprised.
Do they not know what the job of this department is? They’re doing exactly what they’re supposed to do and having to do it publicly because the last admin refused to do anything at all aside from open the border and tell everybody to come without consequence.
Yeah, this guy is probably in a lot of trouble. He shouldn’t be, but he is.
This is a very interesting piece. And sadly, it’s a nationwide epidemic.
I didn’t even know about this. Looks very promising. I hope it’s not another dead end.
I hate everybody involved here. The nanny state, the last parents, and the social media platforms. All of them who are too damn lazy to do their jobs properly.
I wouldn’t call this warning “urgent.” It’s pretty much common sense that has been called for since forever.
Here’s a classic. An absolute gem. And another very good one. The editing go that video is absurd. But enjoy them both.
And enjoy this lovely Tuesday, dear friends.
“The Cowboys beat the hapless Raiders.”
That game sucked.
I don’t think I am.
I prefer to just go to the links I am interested in rather than have some algorithm feed me shit.
It’s wading through a sea of turds to find a few gems. A lot of stuff, even nonpolitical stuff, is just engagement bait.
For example
“Any Led Zeppelin fans out there?”

“China has nearly developed a nuclear reactor than can power NYC and fit in your pocket”

“Experts and data from two nonpartisan sources — the U.S.-based Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project and Council on Foreign Relations — show Christians are often targets in a small percentage of overall attacks that appear to be motivated by religion, in some northern states.
But the numbers and analysts also indicate that across the north, most victims of overall violence are Muslims.”
I guess that’s true if you include all violent crime because the country is majority muslim.
In the rest and travel periods between attacking Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, Animists, and Atheists, Muslims keep their skills sharp by killing other Muslims.
Yeah I was thinking the imam’s losses might have been some unlucky perps getting killed in the kidnappings.
AI or just a human word salad?
I notice that pile of shit they published carefully avoids saying whom causes practically all the violence, be it against non-muslims or other muslims…
Fog of something or other.
I don’t trust any info concerning these matters. Everyone has an agenda.
Part of it has to do with farmers vs cattle owners. The cattle owners are used to driving there herds wherever. Most of them are Muslim. The farmers obviously don’t want cattle trampling and eating their crops. They are mostly Christian. Cattle owners get violent with the farmers, and the government is either too incompetent or corrupt to care.
Ben Domenech had someone on last week to explain something of the situation.
Isn’t that the plot of ‘1923’?

W in T absolute F??? What are municipalities doing collecting non-profit grants? What are non-profits doing funding govt functions? These aren’t USAID-tied NGOs either – these are foundations established by fortunes.
Maybe we do need to tax these bastards at death, rather than letting them set up scot-free bureaucracies.
If you have not figured out that non profits were used to indebt tax payers to the tune of $38 trillion, as a complete new economy was created. One that was servicing only the very connected globalist marxist cabal that was actively working to wreck the American middle class and America in totality. These people made bank and used a large chunk of that money to finance the most evil shit you could imagine against the majority of Americans. When you hear the words “non-profit”, if they get a cent from government or the usual demo billionaires (who got their cash to give from government for sure), assume an anti-American and evil entity.

White man’s gochujang?
So, an improvement? That stuff is yuck.
Gochujang treated incorrectly, like any ingredient, is terrible.
Done right, stuff is amazing.
To be fair, I only tried one brand I found on the “Korean” shelf at Wegmans. Who know.
“Heinz is as American as ketchup. And that foundation wasn’t built on taxpayer money.”
No, but it was skinsuited by the left and turned into a shitshow, like practically every other foundation the left takes over.
Gochujang is fucking vile. How its used, meaning *at all,* it simply drowns out everything else resembling flavor. It’s all ‘gochujang’ flavored, whether or not you’re eating chicken, pork or fucking cabbage, *all* one tastes is gochujang, with perhaps different textures being felt.
This is my predominant problem with hot sauce. It’s just a blinding, muting agent so you can’t actually taste what you’re eating. So add some peasant peppers and you have flavor. That’s the *only* flavor you have, but at least you got one.
Don’t drown out flavors — unless you’re fearful of what the eater will otherwise taste. I perhaps may be one of those mythical ‘supertasters.’ I vastly prefer simple things when the predominant trend is to mix a smorgasbord together for some ‘diverse’ reason.
It’s not the spiciness that bothers me, though that ain’t a thing I seek out much of. It’s the actual taste of the peppers that ‘bothers’ me. Heat simply drowns out any other flavor that might be trying to compete. Be wary of spicy food, not because of spice, but because it encourages laziness, cooking ‘contentedness.’ But people love it. Hrm.
I love hot sauce. A proper one does not drown out other flavors.
Whatever was in gochujang I tried, it wasn’t the heat it was some other weird flavor(s) I found off-putting.
That may be the wrongest thing I’ve seen on this website.
I make an amazing kimchi soup with it.
My wife makes perfect Korean fried chicken and she puts extra gochujang in the sauce for mine.
Also Korean BBQ pork or bulkogi.
Maangchi on YouTube is my teacher.
I’m with Ron on this one.
We use gochujang on a lot of stuff and like it. I’m a sissy ass Minnesodan and I like it.
Meh. Lived in Korea for 7.5 years, had the ‘best’ they had to offer. Hard to avoid. It’s likely a Me-Thing. (“I *invented* ‘It’s not you, it’s me!”) I actively don’t like it. Simple as that.
I also actively don’t like kimchi, for largely the same reason. It can be good in small doses, especially grilled. To have it as a necessary side dish (banchan) for every single meal? Uh. Overexposure is a thing. And being overexposed to something one personally doesn’t like is a great way to intensify, amplify that disgust.
Even if something’s fantastic, eventually, ya know… someone’s gettin’ sick of it. (Not Koreans. )

The other day I learned a new Japanese word.
ばかチョンカメラ
Bakachonkamera. The old disposable on button click film camera.
“Chon” was new to me and is supposed to be the Japanese “n word” for Koreans. I had no idea.
In this case a camera for an idiot Korean.
Some people are just sensitive to capsaicin. I feel bad for them.
Well gochujang isnt really about spiciness and I can see the fermented aspect being a turn off.
That is probably why Evan isnt a fab of kimchi too.
Sensei:
Yes, I have heard of chon. My 1/4 nephew got into an actual playground dustup over it on our last visit. The wimminfolk were all really upset about it. Kid’s dad and I were more interested about how the fight went. Reporting on the ground said that he got the best of it, so we were pretty happy.
Still took several trips to the school to settle things. Lots of apologies all around.
I am still amused that gaijin is “problematic” now. It is supposed to be gaikokujin. My nieces have teased me about being a gaijin since they were kids, now I get to scold them for being racist. I also use “gaijin please” around them a lot. They are both fluent in English enough to get it.
Ah fermentation, that explains it maybe.
I dislike kimchi too.
PJ We have embraced “gaijin”!
Take it back!
Spicy crap in general is crap.
I would like flavors please, not fire.

Great. While researching taking it back(NSFW audio) I also had to review this clip as well and now my day is shot.

Fire + Flavor is where it’s at.
/misses being able to cook spicy food at home as much as I wanted
I like food with flavor, and that is spice often as not. Indian, South American, Korean, Thai, whatever. But, hot cannot be a substitute for flavor. Ghost peppers do not have flavor, they just burn. And while some people like that, usually it is due to burning out their synapses. In this way they are like that dude who did WAY to much acid back in school. Just lost to the real world.
However, if the food isn’t very good, I will cover it in hot sauce if I am hungry enough.
Yes, spice with flavor is the best.
I love a good Thai curry that brings tears to my eyes.
I’m as surprised as you are. At least, I’m surprised that government agencies are allowed by law to seek or accept non-government funding, at least over and above the level of an elementary school bake sale.
What doesn’t surprise me is that most of the private ‘funding’ got siphoned off and pocketed by the government administrators.
This seems to be much the same shit as the election tampering in ’20.

They were totally parents… with nannies.
“If this brazen, continuous disregard for the law and the Constitution is not outrageous government conduct, nothing is,” James’ lawyers wrote. They called her indictment a violation of the Fifth Amendment, which guarantees a right to due process.”
How is she got getting due process?

Then gave them tax money.
That is, until the UK or other western nanny states arrest you for failing to do so.
Consent to do what, though?
Um, often times they are pitching a bitch during changing because being covered in urine and feces is uncomfortable.
““At the start of a nappy change, ensure your child knows what is happening,” researchers from Deakin University wrote in a November 2025 guide. “Get down to their level and say, ‘You need a nappy change,’ and then pause so they can take this in.””
Because babies understand English?
If babies understood what was happening, they wouldn’t need diapers.
Dang, I never actually tried just telling mine “don’t shit yourself.”
Yes. Try to make sure you are heard by yelling your request for consent over the screaming infant. That will go well.

Between August 2021 and June 2024, the Bureau of Alcohol, Firearms and Tobacco alleges Goulet sold several hundred guns to customers nationwide, though he did not have a license to deal firearms.
Later in the article:
The gunmaker offers its employees deep discounts on a limited number of firearms. “However, the manufacturer prohibited its employees from selling or otherwise using the discount for personal profit,” the U.S. Attorney’s office said. “Goulet used social media platforms such as Facebook to locate persons interested in buying discounted firearms.”
So… it should be a civil case between him and his employer. Except we live in clown world where you need a FFL to make a business selling guns.
Test case to overturn the FFL scheme?
Except SCOTUS won’t stand by their Bruen ruling, so he’s screwed.
Bwahahahahaha
I’m pretty sure all the gun distributors would oppose lowering any barriers to entry into their market. Just like Austin restaurants got food trucks banned.
Fuck that. I’d happily give up my FFL/SOT privileges in exchange for transferable machine guns.

All forms of collectivism are a counter religion to specifically Christianity. Collectivism is basically an amalgamation of all the things Christians are told are wrong. And it is not incidental that collectivism promises man can create heaven on earth by making government God. So one should need not be surprised that the people steeped in collectivists/socialists of any kind would see Christianity and Christians as enemies and evil.
Christianity is of course itself collectivist.
Particularly the Roman Catholic tradition. Once again we see how deeply tied the Enlightenment is to the Reformation.
I absolutely disagree with the precept that Christianity is collectivist. Collectivism implies a government in charge of the wealth. And while I agree with JI that the Catholic church was the first to abuse Jesus’ call to be charitable to accumulate power, Christianity is not per se a collectivist entity. Individuals being charitable is anathema to the collectivist ideology, which believes only government should fulfill the distribution and wealth control functions.
That’s kind of a thing for most (all?) religions. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I don’t understand “collectivism” as requiring a government.
I think y’all might be comparing some oranges to fish.
The politics and culture that early Xianity (pre Justinian) existed in was so wildly different from our own that all of those words dont mean much.
‘Collectivism’ and it’s attendant evils looks very different in a culture that only has access to very primitive technology.
which believes only government should fulfill the distribution and wealth control functions
The Catholic Church was doing that long before any government did.
“The Catholic Church was doing that long before any government did.”
And? You do get that the catholic church IS a government, right?
Now Alex, be a good Protestant and tell me how the Catholic Church isn’t true Christianity.
“Now Alex, be a good Protestant and tell me how the Catholic Church isn’t true Christianity.”

Yep.
I’m with Alex on this one.
Christianity is about free will and free men making a personal relational decision.
If SCOTUS actually had the stones to stand by their Bruen ruling, this would get tossed as there is no 18th century history or tradition of such restriction.
But of course they don’t.
You think Jacob Hawken and his brother didn’t have all the requisite federal permits for their business, hmmmmmm?
Oh, I am quite certain the Hawken brothers filled out and filed ATF Form 5320.1, like all good subjects should.
He should be in trouble for defrauding SIG (if the allegations he used other people’s info to buy more than his limit are true) and of course for violating his contract to not resell (seems like he was). But yea, fuck the NFA.
FFL requirements come out of the ’68 Gun Control Act.
Fuck that too.
FFA ’38 imposed the original FFL requirement. GCA ’68 repealed FFA ’38 and replaced it with new requirements, including for FFLs.
However, I think we can all agree on fuck both the NFA and GCA.

“The DHS also said the Charlotte raids happened because local officials did not honour nearly 1,400 requests to hold people for up to 48 hours after their release, which would have allowed immigration agents to take them into custody.”

“”Safe hunting in Texas starts with you,” said Matthew Smith, TPWD’s hunter education coordinator, at the time of the report’s release. “Hunting accidents are preventable by following basic safety rules we call the ’10 Commandments of Shooting Safety,’ especially the primary rule—pointing the firearm’s muzzle in a safe direction at all times.””

“… our director approved the PSA and promoted a close friend as deputy director. She rushed a full computer overhaul despite warnings it wasn’t ready. Reports printed at 150 pages. Charges scrambled. Dates disappeared. Recommendations were distorted. When the system stabilized, the real impact became clear: dangerous defendants who once received bonds were now funneled into non-monetary release — including individuals charged with homicide.”
This is rage inducing. If we had any sort of semblance of justice, the assholes responsible would be put in jail for a long time and those funding this would have all of their assets seized and put in jail.
Flooding the streets with criminals is ‘destroy society 101’. It comes bundled with ‘destroy the currency’ and ‘normalize perversion’.
It is a deliberate and malicious tactic.
The funders and board members of the Heinz, McArthur and Arnold foundations need to be dealt with.
Because “proper grammar and politeness” is so unfashionable. Not to mention that dudes have been treated like dogshit in recent decades so maybe trying something “new” might help?

“A newly released autopsy report confirms that Selena Quintanilla died from a single gunshot that caused massive internal bleeding, 30 years after the Tejano music superstar was shot by her friend and business associate.
The Nueces County, Texas, Medical Examiner’s Office officially ruled the 23-year-old singer’s 1995 death at the hands of Yolanda Saldívar a homicide.
“It is my opinion that Selena Quintanilla Pérez, a 23-year-old woman, came to her death as a result of an exsanguinating internal and external hemorrhage, in other words massive bleeding, due to a perforating gunshot wound of the thorax (chest),” coroner Lloyd White wrote in the autopsy, which was obtained by Us Weekly.”

“LA county sheriff investigating new sexual battery claim against Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs
A male music producer and publicist said he was asked to come to a photo shoot in 2020 at a Los Angeles warehouse, where Combs exposed himself while masturbating and told the accuser to assist, according to NBC News, citing a police report. Combs then tossed a dirty shirt at the man, the producer said.”

Someone throws a sandwich at me, I would be upset and maybe confused.
Someone throws a jizz rag at me, we’re fighting, even if I know there’s a good chance I would get my ass kicked.
In all fairness, I’m assuming that the shirt was Diddy’s jizz rag, just based on the tone of the article and my own gutter-level sense of humor. If it turns out that it was just his dirty laundry, I will apologize.
Uh? I may be out of sync here. So? Let’s just say my boss threw a jizz rag at me. Um? That’s just a dude lobbing a shirt. I can dodge most objects, especially fluttery ones.
I don’t know their professional relationship, but sounds less offensive than a boss throwing or batting a jar of paperclips and pencils. That apparently happens. I suppose I wouldn’t be thrilled if mine threw a bloody sock at me, but also easily dodged.
People are so eager to be ‘disgusted.’ I s’pose that’s why porn goes where porn goes. I also don’t have any kink of my own, so perhaps I’m truly out of sync w everything.

“Acknowledging we have a male loneliness crisis is treacherous business. Many dispute there is such an epidemic. Others scoff at the idea that this is a problem worth caring about, especially when women still suffer from more serious problems due to persistent inequality. Others may acknowledge male loneliness as a serious issue, but then insist it’s self-inflicted — a failure of men to take personal responsibility.
All these responses may seem cold or shortsighted. After all, even if one doesn’t care about men’s loneliness in itself, there can be little doubt that it’s driving them into destructive behaviors — such as embracing fascism — that have negative impacts on everyone.”
https://www.salon.com/2025/11/17/dont-blame-women-for-mens-loneliness-blame-capitalism/
Ah yes, men are embracing fascism because they are lonely… It has absolutely nothing to do with the left’s idiotic attack on masculinity, it’s fascination with labeling white males as evil, and society at large being dismantled by stupid collectivists domination of what once was a functioning society.
Anything not to admit they fucking did this and now are pissed men wised up and told them to go make sammiches.
You know who else was lonely…
Just by nature men are a lot more solitary than women. It’s not an epidemic, it’s how we are wired. If women piss us off we just leave. We have lots to do besides hanging out with women. Been that way for thousands of years.
I read an article about a woman who transitioned to be a man, she talked about how supremely lonely a man’s life is in comparison to women. Yeah! We like it that way!
You know who else was lonely…
The goatherd?
Bobby Vinton, of course.
Kim Jong-iL?

Of course this all glances by the fact that men, lonely or not, are not “embracing fascism” At all.
“Of course this all glances by the fact that men, lonely or not, are not “embracing fascism” At all.”
Fighting the takeover by the left and their bad ideas, is fascism. In fact, anything they don’t like is fascism!
“Others scoff at the idea that this is a problem worth caring about, especially when women still suffer from more serious problems due to persistent inequality.”
Even taking that at face value, it is possible to address more than one issue at a time you know.
How DARE YOU not put me first!!!
There’s an assertion without evidence. Hell, it’s pretty much the exact opposite of reality.
Manly such inequities are from their own embracing men as better women….
Do not google mankeeping.
Do you not remember the complaints about mankeeping?

Oh JFC. Dating is hard. Film at 11.
Textbook Salon. “There’s a crisis of male loneliness, and those fucking men deserve every bit of it.”
It isn’t happening but if it is that’s a good thing.
Whereas the NYT would still have it as women and children hardest hit.
JI nails it, the primary victims of male loneliness and alienation are women.
Because they are the important ones, not those icky men.
I love how women complain about how awful men are, and then lament that these horrible beings don’t want to love them.
Acknowledging we have a male loneliness crisis is treacherous business.
Thinking of men, especially white men, as anything other than the source of all evil could get you excommunicated by the church of woke.
And, of course, women are endlessly scolded for refusing to marry men for reasons their critics deem unacceptable, such as expecting a baseline level of respect.
Lol. Always fun arguing with yourself.
Is there anyone else that would actually listen to her?
In reality, it’s being driven by capitalist vultures who have monetized people’s misery. By looking it as an economic and structural issue, we can find solutions — such as regulating online spaces and AI — that would work a lot better than just yelling at women to lower their marriage standards.
I can’t believe I am saying this, but she is close to an actual interesting idea.
Yes, the problem with society is that there just aren’t enough regulations.
Sure. Filing reports with HR when a coworker asks you out, and publishing explicit details after a breakup haven’t raised the social cost of dating at all. Unashamedly racking up a body count that would make Wilt Chamberlain blush probably isn’t helping either.
Last American Hero:
HR: John, you are in here because a female coworker complained about something you said to her
John: All I said was here hair smelled nice
HR: John, you’re a midget.
The problem is lack of a solid, well-grounded community (like, oh, say, CHURCH).
I had a big-ass long comment with lots of words written, then decided it could be a post.
That’s what I was getting at with the comment about her close to an interesting idea. Insofar as it is an “epidemic,” there does seem to be a lot of attempts to profit off of a problem that the market cannot solve. And obviously yes, she has the regulation issue completely backwards.
“Los Angeles is not broken. Los Angeles is not adrift. Los Angeles is not a hellscape. Los Angeles is an economic engine, a bastion of diverse cultures and storytellers, and home to millions of proud Americans. What’s more, Los Angeles is making real, measurable progress on the issues that people once thought were impossible to solve.
And our story is bigger than just our city. It’s about the importance of local government to deliver results, even when Washington is consumed by division and dysfunction. It’s about why local solutions to local problems have never mattered more—for both our residents and the future of the Democratic Party.”

“Small business is the backbone of our city, and it’s why blue cities like Los Angeles prioritize supporting it. Whether it’s cutting red tape for entrepreneurs trying to get started or investing in neighborhood revitalization, local governments must be a partner in growth, not a barrier to it.”
Stop, my abdominals are getting sore.
“Small business” is defined as black market selling of shoplifted goods, right?
LA gets shit done!
Fuck zoning.
He needs to counter sue those shitty neighbor’s and leave them penniless.
“These are not abstract policy successes. They are tangible results that Angelenos can feel in their lives. And even more critically, they rebuild a sense of declining trust from the Democratic Party in recent years.”
Why would trust in Democrats ever have waned? That’s getting dangerously close to acknowledging reality for a piece saturated in fantasy.
Why would there be a lack of faith in the One True Party? I find that disturbing. Sounds like some people in El Lay need the re-education camp.
Isn’t this the town where large swaths of real estate turned to ash last year, and they can’t figure out how to rebuild houses?
They can’t figure out how to allow people to rebuild houses.
They just want to give that land to NGO’s for “affordable” housing so badly and are waiting for the right time to slip that under the radar.
Where socialized healthcare always ends at…
Yep. People saw that coming 40 years ago. At the time conservatives and libertarians were laughed out of the room for saying so.
And now they blame conservatives for the end result, cause these conservatives must be kulaks & wreckers that will not give up all their freedoms & wealth to pay for other people’s free shit.
It is very tiresome.
“An unnamed woman in her 80s, referred to in a MAiD report as “Mrs. B,” received MAiD earlier this year after requesting but being denied palliative or hospice care. Instead, with her spouse burning out as the result of her care, a rushed MAiD assessment was completed, and she died by lethal injection.”
For fuck’s sake. “Denied palliative care.” Here’s a tip for the gov: Don’t have much palliative care options? Start with a morphine injection. Cheap. Quick. Ain’t gonna cure cancer but it’ll make it feel a *whole* lot better. Immediate palliative care. For pennies.
“Oh, but drugs are bad, mmmkaaay.” ~ Doc surrounded by nurses, pharmacists, and a warehouse full of drugs Indeed. The predictable, evil outcome of “universal,” Top-Down healthcare for all. Fucking evil fucks.
Data point N+1 in “equipment << practice"
I shot a steel challenge match over the weekend. I used my base competition gun (set up for the most restrictive divisions) in a new go-fast division that permits all sorts of doodads/enhancements/race holster etc. I got a higher score not just in absolute terms but relative to the competitors (nationwide) than I had the last match I shot this gun in competition.
I think it’s a given that any decently engineered modern firearm is going to be more accurate and faster cycling than the human operating it. Unless you’ve got yourself a jamtastic piece of crap, you can get good with it.
I haven’t gotten good with it, but I have left the two lowest tiers of trash shooters. I’m now at the top of the bottom of the heap. Bottom of the top of the heap is still a long ways off.
But you can get good, eventually.
I like to think that if I had gotten into this game 30 years ago, I could have gotten really good.
But yes, as slow as it is, I am improving. No wall hit yet.
This is true, but it doesn’t tell the whole story.
From the perspective of pure accuracy – let’s say you have a gun/ammo combination that will hold an 8MOA group under match conditions. And let’s say that you, as a shooter, are capable of holding an 8MOA group under similar conditions. Your group size will be 16MOA – the error in the gun is added to the error in your hold.
16MOA equals about 4″ groups at 25 yards. So during your practice, you fire a shot that’s 2″ off your point of aim. Was it something you did? or was it just the natural variability of the gun? There’s no way to tell, so you’re unlikely to learn anything from that shot. Where as, if your gun was capable of holding say 2MOA groups, you could have more confidence that a pulled shot was due to your own error, which makes those errors easier to identify and resolve.
Conclusion – higher-end guns are actually better for a new shooter to learn on, not because they’re easier to shoot, but because they provide more accurate feedback to the shooter.
The interesting thing (to me) about Steel Challenge is that the different stages challenge/reward different skills.
With irons I was always best at “Smoke and Hope,” ’cause apparently I have some upper body strength but am sloppy.
With the dot, S&H is still my best stage, but my relative performance on “Pendulum” has spiked upwards, indicating that maybe my trigger pull isn’t that bad, but my eyes are my biggest weakness?
Sanity check – If I have a 4A 5V switch mode power supply, that four amps is a limit, and if I’m not drawing four amps, it’ll be happy sending less, right?
Yes it will only deliver what the load draw is demanding.
Thanks. I did not want to plug it in and find out my memory was faulty.
You need the minimum load for it to regulate properly.
That too..but that is like above a half-amp depending on make/model/quality of the switching power supply
None is listed.
“None is listed.”
It should be. Typically it’s a around a tenth of the max load, so 400mA
https://www.meanwell.com/webapp/product/search.aspx?prod=RD-35
The document goes “0-4A”
If it’s really low power use a dumb usb power supply.
“3. Tolerance : includes set up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation. (In order to meet tolerance, it is recommended that CH1 load >15% rated current for A type and CH1 load > 10% rated current for B type.)”
@Sensei – Ultimately, this is intended for something that might need more amps. I want to test and verify things one step at a time.
@CT – Hiding it in a footnote is bad form.
Well, we knew it couldn’t be zero, because that would violate the laws of physics, and violating the laws of physics is bad.
I’m sure it can output zero amps
*unplugs from wall*
But I guess the question now is what’s a reliable 500mA load?
Mr AI says 10 ohm resistor.
It will dissipate 2.5W so temp use or plan accordingly.
It did the math for Ohm’s law.
A 10 Ohm 2.5 Watt resistor? 5 Watts is way easier to find.
Intuitively, my brain went “that number sounds off”
Thankfully, Ohm’s law is a simple equation so I was able to reassure myself that the lower resistance is what lets more power through.
Unfortunately, I think 220Ω is the lowest resistance I currently have on hand that isn’t a dead short.
I’ll figure it out.
Thank you everybody.
Keep in mind that high power resistors are typically 10% tolerance, so if it’s 9 Ohm it will draw more current, and dissipate more than 2.5W
From Juris’ “Who pissed in Fareed Zakaria’s Cheerios?” link:
The primary culprit is a 1980 safety law that spawned an industry of contractors and consultants. Every mayor vows reform. None succeeds. Eric Adams tried with little success. Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani says he’ll try, too, but his plan is a complicated melange of expedited reviews and new rules, the quintessential Democratic response. Process without progress.
And it is precisely this instinct, endless process instead of results, that drives voters to tolerate Donald Trump’s bluster and bullying. At least he gets things done, they say.
——-
If Democrats want to rebuild that faith, they must rediscover the lost art of simple competence.
“Process without progress.” I like that.
Signal of a great awakening?
Uh huh.
Here’s an alternate view from reality: Democrats don’t give a flying fuck about affordability, small business, or “reform”.
Affordability is a problem because they want it to be.
^^^^THIS^^^^
There is power in perpetual problems, and nobody will solve a problem as long as there is money and power to be made.
When your voting base is a bunch of people who can’t afford X, you have every incentive to make X less affordable.
And their “reforms” consist of escalating class war because gee I can’t see why.
“As a professor of anesthesiology and principal investigator at the University of Michigan, I have spent over a decade studying health inequities, social risk factors, and community engagement in clinical research. My team’s NIH-funded studies, like many around the country, are experiencing severe disruption because of recent policy shifts.
Some say diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) needs to die, but killing off the benefits of DEI alongside its limitations is a threat to American lives. I have experienced firsthand how scorched-earth policies on DEI undermine medical research. In May, and again in September, the NIH emailed my team at the University of Michigan, asking us to “remove all DEI activities” from our grants, including direct patient engagement, or risk having both studies completely cancelled. These decisions are not simply ideological or financial. They signal whether our country is committed to developing the best treatments.”
https://time.com/7333975/dei-lupus-research-treatment/
Fund my research or people will die!
“Lupus patients show us exactly why features of DEI must survive. This life-long autoimmune disease is two to four times more common among Black people than white people. Black people also have a higher risk of death and disability due to lupus. The reason for these disparities is not fully known. Meanwhile, Black people are underrepresented in treatment development.”
It’s never lupus.
Why the fuck would it matter to the patient if the treatment was developed by someone who looks like them? They never see the researcher. Isn’t it preferrable to HAVE a treatment rather than be prevented from having one because people who couldn’t hack it wanted to play dress-up as scientists and siphon of funding from people who were actually making progress?
I thought that was recently flipped to “it’s always Lupus/Epstein-Barr.”
I’m not too surprised that Jeffery Epstein fucking Roseanne Barr caused a supervirus to be honest.
Studying why black people are impacted by this more than white people is valid research. It is not “DEI”.
“DEI” is simply racist favoritism. THAT is what needs to stop. Conflating the two ideas is classic leftist bullshit.
Congratulations, you succeeded in grossing me out. That takes some creativity.
Something something insulin resistance and low vitamin D.

Cast out
Larry Summers, a former Treasury secretary under President Bill Clinton and the former president of Harvard University, said he’s stepping back from public life after his apparent conversations with Jeffrey Epstein were released last week by the House Oversight Committee.
“I am deeply ashamed of my actions and recognize the pain they have caused. I take full responsibility for my misguided decision to continue communicating with Mr. Epstein,” Summers said in a statement on Monday.
Summers is currently a member of Harvard’s faculty, according to the Harvard Crimson.
“While continuing to fulfill my teaching obligations, I will be stepping back from public commitments as one part of my broader effort to rebuild trust and repair relationships with the people closest to me,” he said.
How long ’til Harvard slips him overboard?
A friend of the Devil is no friend of mine.
Huh. He’s only deeply ashamed when it was publicly revealed? First time he ever saw those emails?
You should have known it was coming
Why is the top pic on the “gun safety urgently needed” article a couple of bow hunters? Maybe they wanted a pic of hunters in camo, instead of the orange that gun hunters would be wearing.

A history of goats
I was expecting that meme where on one side you saw one civilization invent and progress to modernity while a philosophy that conquers & expands by the sword, has people fucking goats.
Alex, I think you mean sheep and not goats.
Goat, sheep… same same..
And be aware that Khomeini issued a fatwa that you should not sell the meat of a goat you fucked to other people…
Sheep go to heaven.
Goats go to hell.
ES:
Sigh. I keep telling you guys this, but none of you seem to listen.
It doesn’t matter if you are a goat or a sheep, only if you have faithfully tithed to the Church.
Jimbo – you haven’t paid the fines for operating a heretical institution. Soliciting more tithes without payment of back fines will result in elevation of charges.
Am I being excessively cynical for thinking that the UNSC approving a plan and putting Trump in charge means this is a hornet’s nest of biblical proportions?
Nope. I don’t know the plan, but it’s doomed to fail.
Gaza needs a Vlad Tepes to bring order.
Gaza would have no people if Vlad and his army showed up there.
Thanks Tampon Tim
Personally, I have placed my hopes on the general nature of Jr. High boys to destroy any chances of this stupid law ever being enacted. I can’t imagine the chaos if my fellow sub-humanoid 8th grade buddies and I had been given free access to tampons and pads.
Proof that this is truly a real life educational thing.
Maybe there is something to this Indigenous Medicine bullshit
Sending the missus off to some other house and letting her friends deal with her?
Uffda.
I was going to add that I’d love to be a fly on the wall when the AWFL’s hear about the idea of having to go live in their guest house every month. Their knee jerk reaction is going to be full on outrage, but what happens when they hear about this being a genuine Indigenous Practice?
It would be the same as their broken brains at the “Muslims are right about women!” signs someone put up a few years ago.

“President Donald Trump on Monday said he would be willing to conduct missile strikes inside of Mexico as part of his administration’s efforts to curb illicit drug smuggling operations into the United States….

OFFS!!
Oh fucking hell.
Trump says shit to stir shit. It’s his normal opening tactic before he tells the target what he wants from them.
The left seizes on these kinds of comments as literal statements of intent. Thus, the left is perpetually in outrage.
Don’t make the same mistake.
Of course, this tactic only works because he actually does this shit every now and that makes the threat real.
“For decades, Larry Summers has demonstrated his attraction to serving the wealthy and well-connected, but his willingness to cozy up to a convicted sex offender demonstrates monumentally bad judgment,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., said in a statement Monday that was first reported by CNN, calling on Harvard to sever ties with Summers.
“If he had so little ability to distance himself from Jeffrey Epstein even after all that was publicly known about Epstein’s sex offenses involving underage girls, then Summers cannot be trusted to advise our nation’s politicians, policymakers, and institutions – or teach a generation of students at Harvard or anywhere else,” the statement further said.
No Epstein survivor has alleged wrongdoing by Summers and there is no public record evidence to suggest Summers was involved in any of Epstein’s crimes. However, the newly released emails suggest a closer bond between the two men than has been previously reported.
We need more of God’s righteous anger and hate. Forgiveness and compassion are for chumps.
I don’t want to be in a union with the people that elected Lizzie Warren.
Larry wasn’t all bad.
This guy is so fucked. He was already a marked man for the feminists. If only he had thought of convincing all those STEM students to trans to women, everything would have been perfect. More trans heroes. More “women” in STEM.

The link was sent to me by a buddy I used to work with. He sent it to remind me of a weekend we spent drinking at a rural Wisconsin roadhouse.
The roadhouse was having karaoke night and a guy with Down’s Syndrome got up and sang a song. He was actually pretty good. The third guy who was with us wasn’t facing the stage and when the song ended started clapping and whooping. There was a moment where the locals weren’t sure if he was mocking the singer or not. My buddy and I were getting ready to try to fight our way to the door, but then they realized the applause was genuine and everything was cool.
We still laugh about that trip. Not getting in a bar fight was just one of the things that happened that day. It was truly a day of misadventure.
“TPUSA spokesman Andrew Kolvet posted Monday on social media, “This is beyond correlation, this is a five alarm fire” in response to a story by the New York Post’s Miranda Devine addressing Crooks’ apparent interest in transgenderism and furries.
“WOW. President Trump’s would-be assassin, Thomas Matthew Crooks was entertaining a furry fetish, just like Tyler Robinson. He also used they/them pronouns on social media profiles.
This is beyond correlation, this is a five alarm fire.””
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/11/tpusa-official-calls-newly-exposed-link-thomas-crooks/
Oh, bullshit.
Correlation is not causation.
I am not terribly surprised at confused, gullible young people getting lost in all the “gender” and “alternative lifestyle” nonsense that the internet has been heaping on them for so many years.
Reportedly, Lee Tardy Oswald had a bunch of different fetish shit, but it doesn’t mean he was particularly into any of it.
Agree that correlation isn’t causation.
It also doesn’t mean that you can’t look deeper into it. Be cautious, but also don’t be scared to look into it.
I don’t want this to become an issue like Covid. Only certain things can be believed and further research/study is forbidden.

Brooks said at the time, “We are at this point in what I consider sort of the early stages of an undeclared civil war within the Republican Party, as it relates to Israel, and antisemitism and the Jewish community.”
“And it’s really going to be our challenge going forward to combat that before it has a chance to grow and metastasize in the Republican Party,” Brooks said.
During one part of the conference, college students waved red signs that read, “Tucker is not MAGA.”
Needs more purity tests and loyalty oaths.
This is not hard. Stop making me take sides in a religious and geopolitical squabble between two irrelevant countries half a world away. I wish best of luck to Israel and to the Palestinians. I pray for peace. Aside from that, i want nothing to do with it.
Why is it that I’m being made to care? Who is forcing me to care? I’ll give you a hint, it’s not Tucker Carlson agitating for more funding and enmeshment in that particular quagmire. He wants to wash his hands of the situation, just like i do.
This is like voter ID. When it first came up, I figured it was a third tier problem at best. However, the vehemence that one side attacked it made me realize that the issue is bigger than I realized.
I’m with Trashy, I don’t really give a shit. Those fuckers seem intent on fighting each other for all time, so why should I care? The hate directed against anyone who doesn’t think that we should be backing Israel on everything 100% of the time no matter what has made me start thinking that there really might be a bigger problem with Israel’s influence on US policy/pocketbook.
“He claimed there were “very fine people on both sides” during racist violence in Charlottesville, Virginia. While running for reelection, he told the extremist Proud Boys to “stand back and stand by.””
There probably need to be some more lawsuits.
“where he declined to challenge his guest’s bigoted beliefs or a remark about problems with “organized Jewry in America.””
Lie. 100% bullshit. Tucker went on for like 5 minutes about how he disagrees with Nick’s pursuit of blood guilt and how he sees it as unchristian.
This smells more and more like a prefabricated political hit, and less like an organic conflict. I have my suspicions on who is driving it, but this is the last stand of the neocons, and I’m all for the Tucker, Megyn, Tom Woods, Dave Smith side of the fight winning in a convincing and humiliating way.
The hate directed against anyone who doesn’t think that we should be backing Israel on everything 100% of the time no matter what has made me start thinking that there really might be a bigger problem with Israel’s influence on US policy/pocketbook.

Surprise revision
Maryland officials anticipate that rebuilding the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore could cost as much as $5.2 billion, a huge jump in price from the initial estimate.
The new estimate of the rebuild is between $4.3 billion and $5.2 billion, more than double earlier estimates, according to a document reviewed by POLITICO.
As Maryland Gov. Wes Moore, a Democrat, was asking members of Congress last year to cover 100 percent of the federal share, he said the initial price tag could be between $1.7 billion and $1.9 billion.
The estimated completion date has also been pushed back from 2028 to late 2030, the document shows.
Completely unanticipated.
Why would Maryland care about the cost? Autopen promised the feds would pay the full cost.
They are hiring the I-695 contractors to do the work?
