“Posts!”
So, this morning…I was scheduling what material we had available, and I clicked on the calendar view. Yikes. We are awfully short of material right now. So I am humbly requesting some help for our stalwarts, who have been contributing steadily.
So, enough of that – let us look at the world out there.
- Ironic or inevitable?
- Drink the salty tears of Reuters.
- I wonder if Russia will get a bunch of Vietnam War style songs out of this?
- So, not like here.
Comments are open and all yours.
I vote for “inevitable”.
And totally believable. Two guys driving luxury vehicles just happen to meet over a street corner three card monte.
Who doesn’t know that 3 card monte is a scam? Even us rubes know it is fake.
Well, yes, under the current circumstances. We are basically re-living the late sixties and the seventies which was another criminal-friendly era. Which led to 2,000+ homicides per year by 1990 – more than four times now. So, buckle up.
Oooh, gun violence!
*rubs hands in anticipatory glee*
/leftist politicians
Back when Escape from New York seemed far-fetched… but not completely out of the realm of possibility.
That was when walls still worked.
The actual number of homicides in the US in a typical year is closer to 35,000, and the number is only that low because of the miraculous advances in trauma care in the last twenty years.
Stay strapped!
And the vast majority of those deaths are suicides and gang-related shootings.
Gang-related, maybe. No one collects that particular piece of data.
Suicides, no. I’m talking 35k+ deaths as a direct result of violent criminal assault.
I was talking about NYC.
Interesting point I hadn’t thought of.
Russian war songs may earn a trip to the far North East, via a train ride.
The VN War created a lot of songs, mostly in the anti vein is my guess. Somehow conscripts don’t enjoy leaving girl friends and home too much.

Record low turnout casts shadow over result
The election was illegitimate. We must reject the results to defend democracy.
Italian turnout was 64%, which is casts a shadow. US turnout in 2020 was not much different at 66.8%, and you better not question the mandate, you bigot!
👆👆👆
Reuters is engaging in pure editorializing. Notice they didn’t mention the number.
Because your propaganda doesn’t work anymore? Because the volume of waste is almost nothing compared with your precious ‘renewables’?
Am I close?
They had no representative turned senator getting eternal re-election monies from the green lobby?
The Swiss are a very pragmatic people, and have a high trust in their institutions. It must go somewhere. If the experts say this is the best place, then so be it.
Makes me wonder if they have any reason to, or if their “experts” are just better at hiding the incompetence and corruption than ours are.
From what I have read, it comes from every dude having been in the Swiss Army. You know Bob, he is the bank manager, but he is also a Captain in the Army. Steve is just a private, so, not so much trust in him.
It is the ultimate in paternalism, but it seems to work.
My boss in Switzerland was a Colonel.
I got more respect for being an Obersteleutnant, just like the C-Suite guy for our function in Switzerland was, than any qualifications or experience in my job…
That’s a good question. My gut feeling is that they really are more competent. Something people who want to apply the “Swiss Model”* or the “Swedish Model”* here like to ignore.
* (Only the parts they like, of course)
It turns out also that nuclear waste is really not that dangerous anyway.
There’s sort of a Hollywood mythology about it.
And a lot of can be reworked to be used in the current gen plants.
Give the waste to those poor folks that are still using coal fired generators or have other ambitions
I heard in a documentary that it will melt all the way thru the earth’s core and we’ll all die in a lake of fire.
Sounds preferable to our current direction
I have a little glass example marble that shows how the waste is stored. It’s still on the advert card. Pretty neat.
I never understood why they don’t just keep the waste on site. It is so little, weighs so much, and is so useless as to beggar belief. The only reason Yucca Mt. became a big deal was due to ignorant a-holes freaking out.
yup.
this.
We can’t store it where we tested all of our nukes. It might contaminate the ground.
Reprocess to extract the Plutonium in the waste for use as fuel.
It reduces the volume dramatically. That volume is pretty nasty though.
In the US just about all generating plant fuel waste is kept on site.
You are correct, the best kind of close.
I got one Ill finish up and send in for submission asap Swissy!
You are already up tonight.
For later sometime, not now,
I look forward to the Director’s Cut of Born on the 12th of June.
And sorry I don’t have a contribution to throw your way, Swiss — I barely rise above lurking here, every time I think I might have an article or story I quickly remember why I think I purely suck as a writer. So I’ll continue to depend on the leavings of others instead of being free and enjoying pets and whatnot. (hat-tip to Animal if anyone didn’t read Shadow, Part 2: Shadow Harder this morning).
I am not a writer. My freshman composition professor said my style was best suited for writing stereo manuals.
My 6th grade teacher’s assessment of my writing: “His writing style is sparse.”
So you are a Technics writer?
I’m not a good technical writer. I am too terse. My style worked well for writing intelligence reports.
I wrote really good FORTRAN. Any market here for that?
Just go straight to metal and give us an article completely in assembly.
I never did much of that and have misplaced my OS 360 green card and can’t remember a thing on it.
My style is academic at best. I submit very few articles, but I try to submit if I think that something that interests me might interest others. Give it a go, the worst that can happen is a cat butt.
An article about cat butts?
ACCEPTED.
Animal is already on that.
“Shock troops arrest 2,000 protesters nationwide in clampdown”
Can we start calling the FBI “shock troops”?
Given the persistent khaki-groups-coming-out-of-U-hauls, I think “shock troops” is giving them way too much credit. They do want to be the SS to Antifa’s SA, but they’re not there yet.
Sturm Straßen.
Yes.
Giorgia Meloni looks set to become Italy’s first woman prime minister at the head of its most right-wing government since World War Two after leading the conservative alliance to a triumph in Sunday’s election.

Calling Mussolini “right wing” when he was so blatantly socialist is hilarious. So tiring that they keep repeating that lie to putsch conservatives in their place.
He didn’t support gay marriage or transsexual rights. He was clearly a right-winger.

So many axis to grind around here.

It may be noose to you, but this pic really toes the line.

So this chick is Il Trey?
You just had to drop that.
The writer clearly wants it to be. “Why aren’t these stupid rubes angrier?”
Russian opposition to Putin’s Ukraine invasion grows as families flee to Georgia to escape conscription: Shock troops arrest 2,000 protesters nationwide in clampdown – as even allies turn on regime and blame mobilisation for exodus and anti-war demos
From Russia without love.
That exodus was not anything like the VN draft here. They all GTFO as soon as possible like there was a hurricane coming.
So all Russian lads have a low draft number. None go up to 11.
So I am humbly requesting some help for our stalwarts, who have been contributing steadily.
I started work on the next part of FreedomFest 2022 coverage. I might get it done this week depending on work and other stuff.
At the Weiach festival grounds, the opinion was unanimous: The experts will know what they are doing.
What could possibly go wrong?
I’d like to see some fresh meat, too. Like, anyone who is a prolific commenter, it would be awesomw to read an article from you than someone who never interacts with us plebs.
*looks around*
Why is everyone looking at me?!?
Because you look like a Cabela’s advert.
So, KK wants some fresh meat?
Well, alright, alright, alright!
She has been getting frisky with her euphemisms lately… which is only fair given I think there’s more cheese than beefcake on average — I’m sure the ladies (and some bears) are plotting how to balance the books.

President Vladimir Putin on Monday granted Russian citizenship to former U.S. intelligence contractor Edward Snowden, nine years after he exposed the scale of secret surveillance operations by the National Security Agency (NSA).
Snowden, 39, fled the United States and was given asylum in Russia after leaking secret files in 2013 that revealed vast domestic and international surveillance operations carried out by the NSA, where he worked.
I haven’t read the comments yet.
Appy polly loggies if I’m redundant.
That Trump didn’t pardon him (and imho, give him a medal) for revealing the crap the IC was doing that they’re not supposed to — and then hold the IC accountable was one of the major missed opportunities that bugged me about his admin. I don’t expect PPP to do it, and obviously Obama hated him for calling out the Machine — but once Trump found out about the early rumblings of Russiagate (tapping his phones per-inauguration), the gloves should have come off.
According to Glenn Greenwald, Trump was going to pardon him before the end of his term. But then J6 and the second impeachment happened and Trump was told that he would not have enough GOP senators to avoid the conviction in the Senate if he pardons Snowden.
Absolutely.
He only did so Snowden could be drafted.
Only those who served in the Russian military can be drafted at the moment.

“I think that there is going to be such a landslide against the traitors, especially the 147 Republicans who, just hours after the insurrection, voted to not certify the elected president of the United States, Joe Biden, and I think there is going to be so many people coming out to vote,” Moore said.
“There are so many signs of this that I think, I honestly think, if we all do our work and we all get people to get out there and we get out there ourselves,” Moore said in an interview on Maher’s show Friday night, “I think we can throw out a huge number of these Republican traitors in November.”

Thank goodness we’re running surpluses, the economy is doing well and the Ukraine is such an upstanding, well run country that we can keep shoveling money over there.
10% for the Big Guy must be paying off in spades.
I assume Rand Paul did the perfunctory proposal of an audit, and was shot down by everyone on the take.
I’m sure that the new Congress will stop shoveling money over there and audit the past payments and punish anyone who might have been grifting.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is promising three protections to Russian soldiers who willingly surrender. Zelensky’s offer comes as Vladimir Putin announced plans to call up 300,000 reservists to replenish the troops who have died in battle. Zelensky delivered his offer directly to Russians as he made his nightly video address.
Zelensky addressed them in Russian. He said every Russian soldier who surrenders is guaranteed three protections.
“Oh… and 4) We will buy you a bungalow in the Caribbean… we have more than enough US dollars sloshing around, why the hell not?”
They will shove them into Germany, etc.
Heh.
From the Daily Mail article you linked above…
“German officials have voiced a desire to help Russian men deserting military service and have called for a European-wide solution.”
Yikes.

Looks like now till the midterms is the ideal time to stock up on ammo. Prices down to almost pre-covid levels.
Finally, good news
I could use some .45-70 ammo. They list none in stock.
I have been out in my well house, cleaning up the giant mess and marvelling at the wiring. That tangled mess of 2ires would have made a perfect “Don’t do it like this!” video for one of those home wiring youtube guys.
It’s less scary now, but I probably should fix a couple of things before I run power to the shop.
Bushings, or whatever electrician-speak is for the wire protection and strain relief thingies, for example. Running hot wires through a hole with a raw sheet metal edge makes me itch.

And you call the right “fascist”.
The European Union will be “vigilant” of any threats to “human rights”, especially in regards to its pro-abortion regime, after the Italian public decided to hand the country’s right-wing a sizable victory during the country’s general election on Sunday.
While the exact results of the snap election remain unknown, it is expected from exit polls that a coalition of three conservative and nationalist parties will end up spearheading a new Italian government, with Fratelli D’Italia (Brothers of Italy) head Giorgia Meloni expected to become the country’s first woman Prime Minister.
European bigwigs have responded with hostility to the projected election result, with Commission President Ursula von der Leyen threatening that the bloc has certain “tools” it could use to attack Italy should it deviate from the Brussels agenda.
Such threats have now been echoed by France’s Prime Minister, Elisabeth Borne, who told broadcaster BFMTV that the EU would be watching closely to see if any “human rights” were being put under threat following Sunday’s vote.
Stocking up on popcorn. I’m going to enjoy watching the EU fall apart.
I’m not. History suggests that a failed Europe doesn’t bode well for anyone.
This has been building for awhile. It appears to have progressed too far to go back.
I’m at that point of morbid fascination.
Don’t worry, Germany has a history of getting the rest of Europe to pull together in a single cause.
What, will Brussels cripple their economy, tie their foreign policy to a proxy war with a nuclear power and outlaw fertilizers to cause food shortages or something? Must be some “tools” in the EU….
Who wouldn’t want to eagerly sign up for that.
The Dutch and Brits?
Our Democracy means electing only politicians that are approved by the bureaucrats in Brussels.
I seem to recall the EU throwing a fit about some right winger in Austria winning an election (no not that guy), meanwhile the Austrian flag still has a hammer and sickle, albeit in the claws of the eagle rather than in the usual Commie configuration.
The hammer and sickle are just ordinary symbols, not communist.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coat_of_arms_of_Austria#Symbolism
Pay no attention that the ruling political party at the time was the marxist Social Democrats. Excuse me austromarxist.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austromarxism
Roughly translated, that means Ursula will lay the blame on the European sovereign debt crisis on Meloni and Italy.
Then Italy will threaten to leave the euro and Brussels will demand repayment of Italy’s 1 trillion in liabilities to the ECB.
Grab your popcorn because things are about to get “interesting.”

I didn’t even know until now that Europe’s 3rd largest economy is Italy. I only knew about Britain and Germany. So what is Italy, about 1/4000th of the top two? Just kidding, I have no idea. I work with a guy who lives in Italy several months of the year. I don’t talk to him about things like politics and economy. All he talks about in that regard is the great free healthcare there. I guess the scary right wingers scared him so much that he’s returned to the US for now, home of scary right wingers who drive around in planet killing pickup trucks with machine guns mounted on top. So the Italian right wingers must be real scary. Mussolini clones is what I heard.
They still pretend the Russian economy is tiny?
They still pretend that Biden is brilliant and has Putin right where he wants him.
Stumbled across an interesting video from Tucker yesterday that digs into the insanity of DC and Zelensky essentially being a Western puppet. Was really surprised to see Tucker take this viewpoint, since his audience is staunchly anti-Russia. Good to see that someone in the MSM has finally brought up that Ukraine and Russia had all but accepted a peace treaty until Boris Johnson rushed in to ax it and push regime change on a nuclear power.
It’s worth a watch. Seems like more and more people in the US are waking up to the evil that the Western governments have done here and that the Ukrainian government is pretty bad themselves. Yes, Russia is bad too.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MJDvr-1Z-A
?? Hasn’t he been getting called Pro-Putin for months because of stories in this vein?
He should tell them to fuck off and explain why we are giving billions in tax payer money to the most corrupt country on earth and Hunter Biden’s crack dealer, Zelensky.
I don’t know. I haven’t seen a Tucker clip in months. I assumed the Fox News audience would continue their tradition of being strongly in favor of any military action regardless of the location, target, or rationale.
To clarify, I meant in favor of US-directed military actions.
Tucker at least has turned the corner on that topic. He’ll admit we wasted thousands of American lives and $trillions for absolutely nothing in return.
“we wasted thousands of American lives and $trillions for absolutely nothing in return.”
And now we’re willing to waste all of that and add in nuclear war.
the Ukrainian government is pretty bad themselves. Yes, Russia is bad too.
“It’s a pity they both can’t lose.”
Pretend?
Yes.
Wait. Italy has a bigger economy than France?
No. Must mean only EU countries. UK is second in Europe after Germany.
^this^
I believe it is Germany, France, Italy.
John Bull is out of the club.
I wonder how much of the output numbers for the larger economies in Europe are being inflated by laptop class jobs? By that I mean jobs with relatively high pay that don’t really produce anything of value (government jobs, NGOs, regulatory, finance, lots of tech type jobs like Facebook, etc). And on top of that, the energy shortage this winter may destroy much of Europe’s industrial base.
Seems a bit like a house of cards, but maybe I’m looking at it the wrong way.
You’re not. Germany has the highest percentage of manufacturing compared to overall national output at 23%
But in that regard, we’re not any better. Our economy is dominated by the service industry at 80% and that includes financial services. The catch is that we stand to survive the winter and they don’t.
Don’t tell my finance-industry employer that I don’t produce anything of value.
I just put together a quick article. Submitting draft now, will finalize tomorrow.
Is it a chassis punch hole, or did someone just take a drill to it?
I’s an electrical box with knockouts.
(a knockout is a chassis punch does when they aren’t pre-done)

When you said a hole through sheet metal I pictured a drilled hole through the wall of a steel building, hence grommet. For a box, yes, what you pictured: NM cable clamps (Romex connector)
“The White House press secretary on Monday said it was important to have a conversation about the Atlanta Braves’ name, hours after President Joe Biden celebrated their 2021 World Series win with the team.
It comes at a time when several professional sports teams have jettisoned Native American terms as nicknames or titles – such as the Cleveland Indians, now the Guardians, and the Washington Redskins, now known as the Commanders.
In contrast, Braves’ fans continue to do their ‘Tomahawk Chop’ celebration.
‘We believe that it’s important to have this conversation,’ said Karine Jean-Pierre when she was asked about the name during her daily briefing.
‘And Native American and indigenous voices, they should be at the centre of this conversation. That is something that the president believes, is something that this administration believes and he has consistently emphasised that all people deserve to be treated with dignity and respect.'”

Drinking beer is healthier than sniffing young girls.
Man it seems like they do this kind of bullshit study al the time and it always gets reported.
Healthy, active , and social people drink alcohol more often into their late 60s. It’s correlative.
The longitudinal studies on life span show the same result for just generic “life span”, which wouldn’t be the case if the moderate drinkers were dying in hordes in their 40s.
Science is just fine. The problem is researchers turning into career grant writers. There will be another study that comes out next week that says beer is bad for you. And the week after that, there will be another one that says beer is good for you. Choice is great, just pick the one you like the most! We’re going to just keep churning them out, because NEEDZ MOAR FUNDING!
That study is pure bullshit. There is no way that any amount of alcohol is good for anyone. Alcohol is poison and to get rid of it, your body converts it into an even worse poison, acetaldehyde. Those two things will wreck every organ and even every cell in your body, if you consume enough. OK, it’s good for anxiety, until it wears off, then you get an anxiety rebound. Alcohol is BAD for you. The South Park buy was right all along, drugs are bad, mmkay? It’s just that some are worse, alcohol being the worst of all of them. I mean except for the ones that are the newest craze sweeping the nation that will turn you into a crocodile.
I will not sit here and listen to you badmouth alcohol!

Drink the salty tears of Reuters.
I like how they tar the party as being “post-fascist”, when that history is that there was a neo-fascist party that moderated, merged with some more main-stream right-wing parties to form a new party, then that party merged into a center-right party that ran the Italian government under Silvio Berlusconi, then fractured out of that larger party to form the Brothers of Italy party that exists today. If that history merits them being labeled “post-fascist”, then I say it’s only fair that Reuters starts calling the Democratic party in the US a “post-white-supremacist” party, as there’s a much shorter through line.
Don’t they tar the AfD in Germany in exactly the same way? Just like they will do with DeSantis the same way they did with Trump? They’re lefties, it’s what they do. They have a narrative and they never stray too far from it. They pulled this shit straight from the Bolshevik handbook under the propaganda section.
Yes
And neighborhoods in Germany are very political. You don’t want to be outed as an AFD in a town that’s SPD.

More Trans Teens Are Choosing ‘Top Surgery’
What is a top surgery. Is that when they only remove your dick but not your balls?
Breasts only. either adding or cutting off. Everything down below is left intact.
But I’m sure they acknowledge all of the girls who badly regret this? I guess at least they can get a boob job. The people who did the ‘top’ surgery should pay for that along with millions in damages.
The woman claimed that she never had a single person regret the surgery.
I see, a liar.
The interviewer was able to point out a case and she was all “oh yeah well except that one”
Someone needs to take the time to interview every one of her victims and when they find one who does regret it and was underage when the surgery was done, she needs to be sued for every nickel she ever thought she had. We’ve thrown the rule of law completely out the window here to the point where we can no longer even protect minors from being victimized by these serial pedophiles.
