I came across this AI art project that I thought was sort of funny. Its an AI depiction of every US President made in the style of a Pixar character.
Some of these are pretty good. I like that Obama and Wilson effectively have the same smug asshole facial features. Gerald Ford looks ready to eat your face off. I also appreciate swole Reagan and Jefferson’s look of utter distain as portrayed by Willem Dafoe. But W looks deliberately cartoonish, and quite frankly FDR isn’t nearly frail enough. Finally, I think the computer could have accentuated Biden’s old man skullet a bit more. Overall though its not bad.

BTW, within the last 20 minutes, it has been real gloomy, then rained, got sunny as hell, had black clouds move in, then lightning, followed by squalls, now back to sunny. I’m guessing it’s about 20 deg colder than it was at lunch time.

Yup. Another rain front is moving through now.

lmao, that’s perfect.
In late January Germany’s Chancellor Olaf Scholz visited Argentina and Chile to secure lithium supply for carmakers Mercedes-Benz Group and Volkswagen to produce electric vehicle (EV) batteries. Germany reached a memorandum of understanding with Argentina for increased supply and plans to offer Chile a deal that is reportedly more favourable than its current arrangement with China.
What could possibly go wrong?
Is there even enough of these metals in the ground to fashion this dreamy electrical utopia across the world, I wonder?
Nope.
Are there even enough orphans to mine it all?
Oh, there will be enough orphans.
The ultimate renewable resource.
We also need lithium to breed tritium in fusion reactors.
The governments need to let good old supply and demand sort this out. My guess is that everyone who really wants an EV already has one by now.
And what happens to the bipolar disorder patients who take lithium as a mood stabilizer? Will there be any lithium left for them after the battery builders take their share?

I’ve been watching a lot of Peter Zeihan’s videos lately. He has some interesting data on demographics and how it will affect the world economy. He is very bullish on Mexico and the next 50 years. I definitely don’t but any of his more recent end of the world as we know it talk. His type of analysis is similar to looking at chemical reactions without knowing or considering the kinetics. It might happen today or 20 years from now, but it will likely happen.

“Two ‘lazy’ Vanderbilt University deans are suspended after they used ChatGPT to write 297-word email to students about deadly mass shooting at Michigan State
The Peabody Office of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion sent students an email on February 16 reminding them to ‘take care of each other’ after the MSU shooting.
Although the email came off as kind and offered students ways to help promote a caring environment with their peers, at the very bottom, it revealed it wasn’t written by a human.
‘Paraphrase from OpenAI’s ChatGPT AI language model, personal communication, February 15, 2023,’ it read.”

It’s about thyme we did away with all this government oversight.
FFS the salt myth was disproven years ago.
And only about 20% of the population is salt sensitive and needs to watch their intake due to blood pressure concerns.
For the rest of us, our kidneys work just fine, and indeed we’re more at risk of too little salt than too much.
Why do all the rest of us have to eat bland food? The people who need to restrict salt no doubt can do that on their own, while nannystate leaves the rest of us alone.
Why do all the rest of us have to eat bland food?

Pickle brine is an absolute gift from G_d for hangovers when you don’t have PediaLyte or some Gatorade handy.

Pickle brine in also a magic potion for cramps. Pater Dean takes a swig every night before bed, and it’s stopped his midnight leg cramps.

Brined, not fermented.
Potassium, bro.
Brined pickles are fermented. It’s fast pack pickles that are pickled in vinegar that aren’t fermented.
I never would have guessed pickle juice has that much potassium. Fruit juice is good for that.
Having made numerous batches of both, that doesn’t compute.
Never mind, I was forgetting about the vinegar. Just brined are fermented.
“Having made numerous batches of both, that doesn’t compute.”
Fermenting in the absence of oxygen produces acids rather than alcohol.
“Just brined are fermented.”
Right.
Heh. My mom was in the hospital recently. They put her on a cardiac diabetic diet. She asked me to smuggle her some salt, so I did. Don’t want my mama to suffer any more than she has to.
Her sister is very strict about her own salt intake after a stroke. My mom said she would never do that. She’d rather die of a stroke than live miserably without salt. I concur.
When my mom was on a cardiac diet in the hospital, she was barely eating, so I had them liberate her diet. I found a bunch of salt packets in the nurses break room, but I didn’t want to smuggle any because then it would have been giving the doctors false information.

Hahaha. They really are dreaming. It is absolutely a possibility.
What will he think when California and Oregon vote to secede and start a socialist paradise? We are well on our way to that. He myopically focuses on so-called right-wing people. When California stops gettIng its way in another decade, it could happen.
Damn your nimble fingers, you scamp.
*winks
If that happens, there will be a shooting war, what with the inland parts not going quietly. Not quite as easy as anyone thinks, on either the left or right side of the aisle.
Green’s comment was kind of muddled. She mentions divorce, but then talks about whittling down the size of the federal government. That sounds more like parents sleeping in different beds than a divorce. Shrinking the power of the federal government sounds pretty good to me. She should have stuck with that.
The only institutions potentially sympathetic to right-wing separation are parts of the Republican Party apparatus and police unions…
IDK, I could see California trying to secede if the federal government, most likely SCOTUS, doesn’t let them get as woke as they wanna be. I could see them perhaps taking Oregon and Washington with them under that scenario. Newsom would get to be president for life, they could make Harry their king, etc.
I can equally well see California continuing to swing its dick around and fashioning the rest of the country in its image, as has been happening in recent decades.
make Harry their king
Puh-lease. They’ll be ruled by the dual monarchy of Queens Meaghan and Harry.
No way would the Fed Gov let San Diego area naval base and surrounding Marines installations go with CA.
And all of CA east of the coastal ranges would say “fuck off” rather quickly. And while they might have “tech” they wont have much to eat.
Or drink.
We’ll see what happens when the dollar breaks.
The fate of the empire rests entirely upon it.
Sure, but all it will take is a few countries to no longer accepting the petrodollar, and suddenly a home and a 401k isn’t going to be worth all that much. I’m sure people will be willing to tell you how they really feel about drag queen story hour when they have nothing left to lose.
It’s not going to be so abstract after the struggle sessions start.
What a bunch of disingenuous bullshit to suggest that drag queen story hour is even close to the top of the list of reasons why people want a national divorce. As usual, the progressive & RINO establishment sorts pat themselves on the back for punching at strawmen.
How about wanting to get away from a government that has been at war for over twenty straight years, is $32,000,000,000,000 in debt and may possibly be the single most irredeemably corrupt entity the planet has ever devised?
By my count, the US government has been at war for more like 70 straight years.
“People are not going to give up their homes and 401ks over drag queen story hour.”
True, and that includes the lefties and the AWFLs. Nobody says only the *spit* deplorables have something to lose in the culture war. If push comes to shove, the left is going to discover that many of its current supporters are willing to make zero (0) sacrifices for its agenda.
Indeed. See; Virginia, Younkin, for example one.

Doubt. Although it wouldn’t surprise me if people are working on a deep-fake alien invasion.
Orson Welles did it first.
It would be closer to the plot of Watchmen. Oligarch(s) manipulates world events to turn the heat up on a possible nuclear war to near the breaking point, then unleashes an alien attack he orchestrated himself. The world unites under fear of new unknown threat and conveniently turns to oligarch(s) for leadership.

I Do Cars finally did a Northstar teardown. It actually looks like a pretty good (as in straightforward design, not a giant nightmare to work on) motor, aside from that head bolt thing. Nothing some careful set-up and a bag of helicoils couldn’t fix.
There is an outfit that sells a head stud kit for them.
You tap them out bigger and put the studs in. It includes all the taps and drill bits and jigs.
It does have the Toyota issue of having the starter in the V.
What are you using as a bolt extractor? Imho, the Snap-On thing with the yellow titanium jaws works better than collets.
Look at what you started, Trevor.
Personally, I think he went because he knew it was Danica’s shift.
Personally, I hope this becomes a trend. I would love to see it if the champ at Augusta in April receives his jacket in Butler Cabin, thanks the club president, and deadass says on TV “I can’t wait to wear this thing to Waffle House tonight.”
There is an outfit that sells a head stud kit for them.
Yeah, I watched Car Wizard’s videos about his XLR or whatever it is, and the proprietary kit he used. Studs would definitely be the way to go. I don’t see how you can patent a stud kit, but what do I know? It’s not like ARP couldn’t whip up a kit.
I saw that too. Since its a known failure in a decent motor, seems the way to go if you know what you’re doing.

No idea what is going on here.
There were people there with Russian flags but I couldn’t care less, they have as much of a right to demonstrate as anyone. Peacenik Ukrainian sympathizers would have been welcomed too but I don’t think there are any.
They exist but they’re either very quiet or have emigrated to Russia.
Come to think of it, there was an interview with a Ukrainian dissident back at the beginning of the war on French TV. She obliterated Zelensky and the war effort against Russia. The French hosts were completely bamboozled and didn’t know what to do. I think the word went out after that to heavily prescreen any Ukrainian interviewees. We wouldn’t want anything to discredit the propaganda.
Twitter randos I’ve never heard of are a reliable source of war news. 🙄
It was the populist left, the populist right, and libertarians-Jill Stein and Jimmy Dore spoke there for example along with Ron Paul and plenty of others. Nothing the war pigs fear more than the antiwar left and the antiwar right shelving their differences and actually doing something meaningful instead of cursing each other.
Why can’t these treasonous Anti-American empire scumbags understand that coming to the brink of nuclear annihilation is necessary to make sure that our Oligarch’s tax money laundry mat doesn’t stop feeding them that sweet, sweet lucre? The scheme of forcing the Afghans to live in a constant state of civil war to line their pockets ended. This is all they have left. If entire cities need to be leveled to keep it going, that’s just the price that billions of plebs will have to pay.
The Russian Flag was lofted by the LNC Chair at the podium of the 1991 LP convention. Back when there was optimism that Russia would join the league of peaceful nations.
