Large, deadly reptiles? SCALEY SMITH?
It was SLYTHERIN SMITH, but he died mysteriously under a girl’s bathroom in 1993 or so.
On my vacation, spent in large part on the shores of Lake Superior and Lake Huron, I learned that sea gulls are also considered Hate Birds. Or maybe they’re just Birds That Are Hated.
Hitchcock would concur.
Gulls are also birds of hate. We can tell if there’s a storm coming off the lake by how many gulls gather in parking lots.
Seagulls are asshoe.
They are hate birds alright. Try eating at an outdoor table at a restaurant in an area where seagulls inhabit. Good luck with that.
Every building in Monterey had these on every roof.
Mostly because they are flying shit machines.
I’m reminded of the scientist who was looking for a longevity treatment. He experimented on bottle-nosed dolphins and other small, toothed cetaceans, as their cognitive abilities are closer to the human level, enabling him to test for dementia and so on.
After several false starts, the scientist discovered that feeding his subjects a diet consisting solely of sea birds completely halted the aging process.
Then, one day, as he was returning to his lab with a fresh supply of sea birds, he encountered a large lion, asleep in front of the doorway. He stepped over the lion, went inside, and was promptly arrested by the FBI and charged with violating the Mann Act.
“The Mann Act? Why the Mann Act?” he asked when informed of the charge.
An FBI agent replied, “You were transporting gulls across a staid lion for immortal porpoises.”

Sacrificing Gaia for short term politics is no way to fight global warming
The German government will put on indefinite hold plans to require more stringent building insulation standards, environment minister Robert Habeck told Reuters, an effort to help prop up the ailing building industry.
The about-face from the German government comes ahead of a closely watched meeting between the building industry and government leaders with Chancellor Olaf Scholz on Monday to address a major slump in the sector.
Abolition of the insulation standards has been a top demand of industry, which says the measures are too expensive and put a further damper on the depressed construction industry.
“High interest rates and inflation are a heavy burden for the construction industry,” Habeck told Reuters, noting that the insulation measures now “can wait”.
The planet is dying, and you’re worried about affordability? Shame.
Ford Motor seems to share the sentiment.
“We’re pausing work and limiting spending on construction on the Marshall site, effective today, until we’re confident about our ability to competitively operate the plant,” Ford spokesman T.R. Reid told the Detroit Free Press Monday.

Huh. I thought they were happy to lose billions on electric cars because Gaia or something. Wonder what changed their minds?
Also a “shocker.” No news on the electric Challenger for over a year. Wonder what happened there?
It seems unpossible that swapping out engines that make up to 800 HP (in the Challenger Hellcat) for electric motors might alienate the entirety of your current customer base.
So what’s the damn holdup on this obviously savvy business move?
I’m sure someone was also crunching some numbers based on their new union contracts and decided they didn’t have more money to lose.
They’ve been running commercials for them. Still vaporware as afar as I know.
I found on a Dodge enthusiasts board talk that Dodge will drop the Hemi but keep a V6 option for the Challenger.
When I bought mine, I talked with the guys at the dealer. They haven’t heard anything official, but they think a) Dodge will drop the Hemi as Stellantis is leaning on Dodge to do something about the CAFE fines they’re getting hit with, and b) There is a V6 Dodge is working on that has some amazing performance numbers and would fit nicely in the Challenger.
We’ll see what happens.
Far as I know, Ford is still opening a battery plant just south of me here in KY. Right to Work state probably plays a large part in the analysis.
Forgive me while I root for a backlash what parts of the country that aren’t insane California (as well as Europe) start to get a clearer picture of the bill of goods being peddled.
A man can dream.
When the eco-nuts have lost Germany, you know the game is over.
Didn’t England re-insulate some monstrously large, tall apt complex with gun cotton soaked in kerosene?
I think they just built it that way.
It was refurbished, but to be fair, nearly everybody involved in that process from the regulators to the day laborers was a lying piece of shit.
Forever in their hearts? That hideous soviet style monstrosity? Christ…burn it down and throw the ashes in the sea.
I hope that architecture, which is bereft of anything resembling style, goes away soon.

Catturd swatted.

My initial impression of Mr. Catturd is not favorable.
His tweets can be entertaining, but he is wholly a MAGA Bro.
Bah, he’s just throwing their words back at them.
Guessing he is a bit younger than this crowd, who now have the wisdom that such tactics have no effect on lefties.
Why? Isn’t he simply stating that he won’t be silenced?
The “speak truth to power” thing is a favorite phrase of lying commies.
I’m not saying he is a lying commie. I just find the phrase extremely annoying.
I am going with ‘Both’.
I deel like s/he sold the original Catturd account to the Trump campaign

In a just world, the perpetrator would be prosecuted for attempted murder. “The caller pretended to be me and told the cops – ‘I’ve stabbed someone, had a gun, and was going to kill myself.” — you know damned well they expected the SWAT to come in with guns blazing. Asshole.
Of course, in our world – I suspect And Nothing Else Happened. Because they’re Right Thinkers and the rules don’t apply to them.
Given my experience calling the cops, and seeing the cops called, over the years, I strongly suspect that the vast, vast majority of these “swattings” are coordinated between the activists and the cops well ahead of time. I’ve never seen a police response in my entire life anything even remotely like the “send in 4 full SWAT teams and every available patrol car” shit we see in these cases. 3 or 4 times, a good friend of my dad’s threatened suicide, one of which he holed up in his car with a knife, and the response was… 2 cops in a black and white. A couple of years ago I reported gunshots that sounded close enough to my house that I actually hit the deck, and the phone operator told me “Yeah, we’ve already got somebody over there, if it was anything serious I’m sure they heard it.”
You just moved here. Wait.
Lol. I live about 6 blocks from the local constabulary headquarters, and I still wouldn’t count on a response time less than an hour.
I’d really like to flay a few of the assholes who do this sort of thing.
Cowards and scumbags are quite plentiful on the Left.

A white Texas gunman who killed 23 people at a Walmart in 2019 after ranting about Hispanics taking over the government and economy has agreed to pay more than $5 million to victims of the racist attack, according to an order signed by a judge Monday.
Patrick Crusius was sentenced to 90 consecutive life sentences in July after pleading guilty to federal hate crime charges following one of the nation’s worst mass killings. Court records show his attorneys and the Justice Department reached an agreement over the restitution amount, which was then approved by U.S. District Judge David Guaderrama.
There is no indication Crusius, 25, has significant assets. He was 21 years old and had dropped out of community college when police say he drove more than 700 miles from his home near Dallas to target Hispanics with an AK-style rifle inside and outside the store. Moments before the attack began, Crusius posted a racist screed online that warned of a Hispanic “invasion” of Texas.
Is Biden going to lend him the money?
They’re going to require Trump to pay it and then indict him for a 5th time when he doesn’t.
I’m sure Kamala would be happy to let him fight fires to pay it off.
Forgiveness of his community college debt?
‘he drove more than 700 miles from his home near Dallas to target Hispanics ‘
Does Dallas not has Hispanics? Or maybe this is just ‘Texas is bigger’ thing? Seems a little ridiculous to drive almost 10 hours to find some Mexicans in Texas.
A measly 42%, constituting the largest demographic bloc in the city.
It’s pretty amazing that someone can drive 700 miles from Dallas and still be in Texas.
What state are you in? To call Tehas ‘big’ is truly an understatement. Some of their counties are larger than a lot of states.
Cut Alaska in two and make Texas the third-biggest state.
That, plus if you drive out of El Paso to the north, you’re halfway across New Mexico.
I-10 runs almost 900 miles through Texas.
One of the first things I learned before and since moving here is that Texans have a vastly different concept of distance and travel time than the rest of the country. “Only” 200 miles is like “only” 20 miles everywhere else I’ve lived.
853 miles from Anchorage to Prudhoe Bay. There are places where you could drive well over a thousand miles but for the lack of roads – or anything else.
Ouch.
It’s true though.

I used to live in the same building with her and saw her in the gym and common spaces a lot. She is not attractive at all to me. Knock kneed and drawn face…..and off-outing personality. Now my next door neighbor Julianna Hough was an entirely different story.

Listen, you. I have it on good authority (from some random “tech journalist”) that the day of he internal combustion engine is over and done. Internal combustion technology is as dead as the dodo, and any attempt to sustain or prolong it in any way, such as hydrogen or e-fuels is pointless and stupid, so get over it, and join the battery revolution.
No revolution has ever fallen as flat as this one will. I cant wait to hear the many people I warned about it tell me “You never said that was going to happen!”
What’s not gonna happen? $6 a gallon gas? Because it’s been 5.50 most of this year, which is part of why I bought an ev.
Making fuel artificially high and EV artificially low is a scam that won’t last long any way you slice it.

The Biden administration announced Monday that it has awarded more than $1.4 billion to projects that improve railway safety and boost capacity, with much of the money coming from the 2021 infrastructure law.
“These projects will make American rail safer, more reliable, and more resilient, delivering tangible benefits to dozens of communities where railroads are located, and strengthening supply chains for the entire country,” Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said in a statement.
The money is funding 70 projects in 35 states and Washington, D.C. Railroad safety has become a key concern nationwide ever since a train carrying hazardous chemicals derailed and caught fire in East Palestine, Ohio, in February. President Joe Biden has ordered federal agencies to hold the train’s operator Norfolk Southern accountable for the crash, but a package of proposed rail safety reforms has stalled in the Senate where the bill is still awaiting a vote. The White House is also saying that a possible government shutdown because of House Republicans would undermine railway safety.
The job of government is to spend money without limits.
Checks.
Government is just the name we give to the trillion dollars coins we mint together.
‘The job of government is to spend money without limits.’
Its a tough job, but somebody has to do it.
Is it too much to ask the railroads to pay for their own construction and maintenance?
Why, yes. Yes it is.
Commies love them some Choo-choos. Endless opportunities for land grabs, subsidies and graft.
Hate to stick up for commies, but they sure don’t have a monopoly on dishing out money to railroads.
1.4 / 70 Projects = 20M per.
Barely a rounding error.
That would pay for roughly 25M OTR trucking miles for each of those communities.
We are so fucked.

Among the projects is $178.4 million to restore passenger service in parts of Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi along the Gulf of Mexico for the first time since Hurricane Katrina struck in 2005.
“This is a significant milestone, representing years of dedicated efforts to reconnect our communities after the devastation of Hurricane Katrina,” Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss., said in a statement. “Restoring passenger rail service will create jobs, improve quality of life, and offer a convenient travel option for tourists, contributing to our region’s economic growth and vitality.”

Neither. A stop sign and a railroad crossing sign (pic here). But the land is flat, and you can see down the tracks for at least a half mile in both directions.
My guess is, the guy had gotten used to just driving across the tracks because a train was never coming. Until one evening, one was.
Florida Man is not noted for stopping at stop signs.
