The Draft got underway yesterday. Four Buckeyes in the first 11 players taken. Not too shabby for the scarlet and gray. Unfortunately for one of them, he got taken by Dallas. Oh well. In the NHL playoffs, we might get three sweeps in the first round. But one thing I’ll note, the referees sure are letting them beat the shit out of each other, which is how the game should be played. And across the pond, we go into another weekend of EPL matches with hopes that everybody in North London somehow loses and the hilarity continues. Also, Stuttgart won an absolute classic of a game to reach the Pokal finals where they hope to repeat. And that’s it for sports.
I suppose the left will come out against pot now. That’s usually what they do whenever Trump announces something.
Talk about insider information. What a goof. You have somebody else place the bets and hope they don’t stiff you, buddy.

“I suppose the left will come out against pot now.”
The NYPost hasn’t stopped whining about it.
Further, cannabis use disorder — which affects about 3 in 10 people who use pot, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — has been on the rise, she said.
Is that the part where it makes you giggle? Given the widespread use of pot, that would indicate that probably 45 Million people are “suffering” with this “affliction”.

Re: hunter getting enstompenated,
I will permanently eliminate threats that have an unacceptably high chance of injuring or killing me (much to ES’s chagrin, though copperheads are so far from being endangered it’s not funny). I don’t begrudge other mammals doing the same thing.
Copperheads are extremely shy. People only get bit when someone reaches in where they are hiding.
Lol, wut?
You must have some subspecies of copperhead where you live that has a completely different psychology than those in eastern OK. I only ever beheaded the ones that came within axe range.
The copperheads here are not aggressive. Their instinct is freeze or flight. They only strike if you get too close. I’ve encountered them in the yard and a neighbor’s garage.
I spent ten summers at a camp near Tahlequah, and I carried an axe for the first two weeks because the copperheads considered being on the same trail as me as “getting too close.” After the campers came in they were not a problem. Was this because there was enough noise to drive them away from the trails? Because the aggressive one had self-selected themselves out of the population during those two weeks? Because that part of summer coincided with birthing season and an excessively large population that was expanding outwards? No idea. They are the only snakes that have ever given me shit though. I had a cottonmouth under my back porch (central TX, not eastern OK) that was less aggressive than those fuckers.
Eastern Copperheads (Agkistrodon contortrix) are a different species than Broad-Banded Copperheads (Agkistrodon laticinctus). But neither species is the least bit aggressive to humans. As the other rat states, if you get close to a Copperhead they either freeze or flee. They’ll bite if you step on them or if you try to grab them, and that’s it.
You know I respect you Evil, but that was not at all the behavior I personally observed across that decade. I promise you I was not chasing those guys down so I could get close enough.
Snake behavior is easy to misinterpret. I’ve seen many ‘aggressive’ snakes who were clearly just trying to get to the closest cover. Unfortunately the fastest route to cover was between someone’s legs.
Just from a midbrain-level ‘survive or perish’ view, no snake could ever prevail in a physical confrontation with a human. If the most venomous snake in the world (there’s some debate, but let’s go with the Inland Taipan) bit me and dumped a full venom load, I’m still gonna last long enough to stomp that snake into paste.
Snakes survive predators by hiding, fleeing, or bluffing. They can’t fight.
So, I don’t doubt what you saw, but I do think you mistook some bluff behavior for aggression.
Rattlers are the same way, only attack when their space is invaded.
But, I will always be in a Rush to kill them.
“Just from a midbrain-level ‘survive or perish’ view, no snake could ever prevail in a physical confrontation with a human. ”
Not sure. Huge constrictor against unarmed human?
@CT – Only the most extreme largest examples of the largest Constrictors have any record of taking down a human.
Obviously, a snake the size of a copperhead has nothing to gain by engaging with me. Neither does a hymenoptera, (and when a bee stings stings me it’s gonna die no matter what.) That doesn’t mean (to the extent that there’s any thought going on) that inflicting pain won’t drive me away from the space it wants me away from.
If I fell for the bluff, well, it did a good job of convincing me it was a threat. Unfortunately its theory of the mind was insufficient for the situation.
The dearly missed straffinrun had a theory about those [cute animal] islands in Japan. His theory was that the Japanese are less aggressive than USians so such human/animal reactions could become possible. I’m not sure the history of Japan supports that, but maybe. There were green grass snakes in that same camp that seemed to be acclimated to people to the point of using us as warm rocks.
Eusocial insects should really be treated more as if the hive was the organism rather than the individual. It is how they operate.
Be that as it may, “inflicting pain as a deterrent” is a pretty typical animal adaptation.
I have been told that hemotoxic venom is particularly painful.
This, and also – it was never an adult human. There have been a few (less than five, ever) recorded occurrences of a very large Reticulated Python killing and eating a small child. Theoretically a large Green Anaconda could do the same, but it’s never been recorded.
Well, when bluffing is your last-ditch means of survival, you’re probably gonna get pretty good at it. Snakes as a whole have some of the most unique and well-developed threat behavior of any vertebrate animal. Tail-shaking in Rattlesnakes (and many others – the little Racer that I posted a pic of tried vibrating his tail to scare me off), Cobras hooding up, the mobile epiglottis in Bullsnakes that allows them to hiss like a steam engine, and don’t even get me started on Hognose snakes…
You see the same behavior in captive-raised pet snakes. A snake will probably never be affectionate towards humans like a dog or cat, but they absolutely can get used to humans once they figure out that we’re not going to kill and eat them.
Sheldon – I believe there was at least one recorded case of a small adult woman being killed by constrictors in Southeast Asia.
And there are cases where the was a fatality but no swallowing because an oversized pet got entangled around the owner’s neck, etc. But the numbers are still vanishingly small.

“Lily Allen splashed $50,000 cash on diamond jewellery during a shopping spree in Atlanta this week, after previously revealing she was seeking treatment for her spending addiction.
The songstress, 40, who is currently touring the US following the release of her West End Girl album, visited Ice Box jewellers just hours ahead of taking to the stage.
In a clip shared by the store to Instagram Lily paid for her pricey purchases with huge wads of cash that she was carrying in her $14,000 Hermès Birkin handbag.
While shielding her eyes behind $500 YSL shades, the hitmaker bought a $15,000 tennis bracelet, $25,000 earrings as well as a mystery $20,000 gift for a pal.
The salesman revealed her total was $54,450 with taxes, but he was happy to accept $50,000 due to that being the amount the singer was carrying in cash.”

Sounds stupid and illegal.
Stupid? Maybe.
Illegal? Hell no. I’m making a concerted effort to use cash more.
Why’s she wearing such cheap-ass sunglasses?
She left her rhinestone shades at home?
Apparently sunglasses as a means of conspicuous consumption haven’t inflated as much.
Why would it be illegal?
For her? no idea. The store could be in trouble depending on how they reported the sale and the taxes paid thereon.
Yes, and if the photographer raped a goat after taking the pictures that would also be a crime, but it seems odd to claim that the entirely legal actions reported upon sound illegal on that basis doesn’t it?
He gave a discount to a woman. Obvious discrimination based entirely on gender.
Would the salesman have given a trans or a man that discount?!
Jimbo, most folks discount everything I say or do.
However, I’m not tuned into a five finger discount, as some folks. At least that’s what I’ve read.
Fourscore,
Are you telling me that you aren’t into Dining & Ambling Slowly Away?
Seems like the proprietors are always happy to see me leave, something about my departure makes for a religious experience.
I hear an undercurrent of “Thank God, he’s gone”
He gave her a discount because a pile of cash 1) means no worries about a check not clearing, or saves the 3-4% CC processing fee, 2) she bought multiple items in one purchase and 3) they’ve got enough margin on their prices they still made a shitload on the deal. And now this story is free publicity that they treat their high-dollar customers well.
Somebody should ask her what she thinks about income inequality.
Who?

“The relationship with the United States will depend very much on what we contribute to the alliance,” Robertson said, amid forecasts that Germany is on track to spend twice as much on defence as the UK by 2029 if both countries maintain their current plans.

Umm, yes, of course it will?
Once the UK is fully under sharia they will up their military spending. The money will be spent in Gaza, but it will definitely be military spending.
I guess it is sort of funny that by the time the UK is fully under Sharia law their navy will be less capable of delivering arms to Gaza than one of Greta’s Flotillas.
Sily Jar, they won’t have any money. The UK is already poor, and its former wealth was created by Western Civilization’s ethics and behaviors.
They will raise funds the old fashioned way, by selling infidels into slavery.
Translation for all of that: They are not our bitch anymore, and they refuse to throw any more money into that fucking meat-grinder that we want to keep churning.

“”Zera Lola Zombie, a biological male who has been housed in the women’s Coffee Creek Correctional Facility since April 2025, won the $295,000 settlement stemming from the 2021 lawsuit, according to The Oregonian.
Zombie, whose birth name was Daniel Lee Smith, was convicted of first-degree manslaughter after pleading guilty to beating his girlfriend, Samantha Lee Brown, to death in 2014. Zombie received 20 years in prison for the killing and 15 more years for a first-degree assault after a violent attack on a fellow inmate. Zombie won’t be released from prison until 2049.
The Oregonian reported that Zombie came out as transgender in 2020, and began taking sex change hormones. In 2022, Zombie began the process of seeking a sex change surgery in prison.
According to the report, Zombie will receive $95,000 from the settlement, while Zombie’s attorneys will receive $200,000 to cover their fees.”

Ima try channeling my inner UCS:
“There should be no prisons. Penalties for crimes should be limited to 1) fines for restitution, 2) exile or 3) execution.”
Oh, no, that would not reflect my stance at all.
I do not regard exile as an effective punishment, as there is no mechanism for suffering. I’m also okay with warehousing people who have done harm as a form of punishment. Reopening the asylums would be a good step for those with real mental problems, but there’s no way they should be back out on the street any sooner than a sane person who committed the same act.
I just don’t believe we’re enforcing our laws properly, or harshly enough, especially against recidivists.
I agree that exile today isn’t the punishment it used to be.
In the Olden Days, being exiled to the frontier was a punishment. No cushy civilization to make your life easier. It was also a practical solution for the locals. They didn’t have the resources to feed/house prisoners. Sending them on to the next town might not be “justice” but at least they wouldn’t have to deal with the asshole.
I read an article once that said a lot of the Mountain Men were sociopaths who had been driven out of polite society and had to go live in the wilderness. One of the reasons the local Natives were so scared of them is because Liver Eating Johnson was the rule, not the exception.

What exactly is it going to do with $95K in prison, anyway?
That buys a lot of 8oz orange drink at the commissary.
Was this attack on a “fellow inmate” when xey were in a mens or a women’s prison? I’m trying to understand how someone so obviously competent with violence could be considered “vulnerable.”
The vicious murderer pretending to be a “female” is vulnerable because bigots like you refuse to celebrate her womanness.

Like the mayor of NYC?
The guy this disgusting pig is trying to drive out of the city just donated $400MM to a cancer center there, as one example.
Being doxxed by the mayor telling everyone where you live is probably as off-pissing as the tax itself.
He knows that rich people steal money from the poor (whom have nothing worth stealing) and thus, you need to fleece those rich – social justice, you know!! – and THAT is how you fund shit…

Somebody ask him why he was wearing a women’s show jacket?

The Community Collaborative Rain, Hail and Snow Network needs to work on its grift. They make their volunteers buy their own rain gauge. That isn’t how it should work! They should sign up and get a tax payer provided rain gauge that cost $8K each.
If you contribute to CoCoRaHS during their pledge week, you get some awesome merch (it will make those NPR totes look like shit).

“Where all the rainfall is above average”?
Looks like my thoughts on the accident at LGA were mostly correct.
Trucks called for clearance basically departing the Firehouse on a call. That is probably about 500-600 feet from where they were cleared to cross. The ASDE-X (surface movement radar) couldn’t produce high-confidence tracks due to multiple vehicles converging to a different accident. A transponder would have helped here as the priority for ASDE is ADS-B then radar to determine movement direction and speed.
Communication was terrible and people stepping over each other. “STOP, STOP, STOP” means nothing to anyone listening on the radio because it directed no one to stop. Second transmission finally said “TRUCK 1, STOP, STOP, STOP” but by that time they were on the runway.
Truck 1 did blow past the REL (runway entry lights; they illuminated because the ASDE detected an aircraft landing on that runway)…
One thing that struck me in the pictures was that LGA tower has their ASDE-X display that we certify for AT use to assist in the safety of flight and a third-party web-based website that uses SWIM data, data we sell to the world, in a much more prominent position.
So it was really Trump’s fault.

I am skeptical that flooding a city with NG has the impact Donald will claim – I bet just keeping violent criminals locked up instead of letting them loose has a greater effect.
Related: local newsrag headline on Sunday was all about NG “ROAMING” the streets of D.C. The actual article, if you took time to read it, used words “patrolling” and “walking”, had no incidents of excessive force or other injustices or unpleasant encounters. A few people complained about the “look” of armed soldiers present in the nation’s capital.

(… gave HIM his…)
Hmm. Robert Johnson’s considerable myth seems to have been created mostly by others – he apparently lived a very private and reserved life, save for his weakness for whiskey and women and his fondness for the road.
He certainly had a myth, but I don’t know if it was the same kind of myth as the promotional stories from Gwar, ICP, Ghost, or Buckethead…

“The city of Los Angeles has a major street light problem. Thousands of the lights are out because thieves strip them of copper wire which they then turn around and sell for cash.
To deal with this problem and fix the lights, the city government is proposing a new TAX on the law abiding citizens who did not steal the copper wire.”

No, the university is paying through your taxes.
