“NEVER GET OUT OF THE CAMP!”
Now I know why my mom wanted to send me to camp, when I was about 20 years old. She and I were not communicating very well or at least had different meanings to the word “Camp”
Was she hoping the camp would help you “concentrate”?
I’d find her talking to herself in front of a mirror, like practicing for a commencement speech. She thought a 90 day vacation for me might be a good idea, then I could learn to concentrate.
Was it for your best interest?
Moms know best…
Wait, what are you talking about, we decided!?
My best interest?! How do you know what my best interest is?
All I want’s a Pepsi!

Now that is a disturbing sunrise.

Its different when they do it.
It will be interesting to see what happens with Russia’s frozen central bank reserves in foreign countries. If this continues, I imagine that they could sell them to China for a discount.

I invested a little in gold a couple years ago in my gloomy “end of world” mood, but I made the mistake of “buying” it virtually, in a fund. Now I wish I’d bought coins and put them in a coffee can at home
Invest in real coffee, tradeable or drinkable and smaller denominations than gold. Gold is good.
I’ve only ever bought coins. Thinking about getting some more, for the first time in probably 10 years. Maybe 1/4 oz coins this time.
Or maybe more silver.
It’s entirely possible, if things get really bad, that folks will be melting those gold coins down for fishing sinkers.
Right now we’re putting disposable income into equipment, but more ammo’s always a good bet, too.
Gold and silver have been used as a medium of exchange since agriculture. If we devolve to a pre-agricultural society, well, I doubt I’ll be around to go fishing anyway.
Yeah, I think I’d prefer not to be around for that in any case.
I do like ammo as a trade good. One of my rationalizations for building our stockpile.
Yeah, I’ve a fair stockpile myself.

Well, the British government just effectively seized control of Chelsea FC.
You know, growing up I never expected to see the end of the Cold War. Now, I’ve lived long enough to see the end of rule of law.
The rule of law was a polite fiction from the word go.
Yes, it is – as is most of what makes for a functioning civilization. It’s all fucking made up. But it was a very good idea, vastly superior to the alternative – which stupid, fallible humans are always willing to regress to because that’s just what stupid fucking humans do.
Bah! What do the people of the past that built a functioning society that brought us out of barbarism to our current industrialized world know anyway? Our blue haired overfolx know better than every human than ever lived, don’t cha know?
Each new generation born is in effect an invasion of civilization by little barbarians, who must be civilized before it is too late. — T. Sowell
I was hoping to die old, but while the USA could at least pretend it is still a functioning republic.
The problem with the rule of law is one of dosage. A couple hundred laws may be a good idea, a couple thousand laws might be workable and efficient. Presently we have a couple billion laws – we’re overdosing on law and the patients are dying from it.
There are many Iron Laws, including those we list here, as well as the Iron Laws of Bureaucracy and Oligarchy, Conquest’s Laws, the State of Exception (or, the Iron Law of Emergencies), the Gods of the Copybook Headings (or, the Iron Laws of Scarcity and Vice), and so on. The invented laws of man will always be inferior to the Iron Laws, especially when they contradict or seek to circumvent the Iron Laws.
Indeed.

This may be what truly started me down the path of the NAP.
Good, maybe they’ll run it into the ground.
That’s what governments do.
But Chelsea are probably fine long-term. Or at least they won’t be relegated anytime soon.
For the good of the Premiere League, maybe Russia can prolong this for a couple more years.
I wonder what happens to the lessors–it’s likely they have insurance to cover losses of their aircraft, but this many going all at once would have a significant effect on anyone writing/underwriting those polices.
If the Russian airlines do indeed re-register these aircraft with the Russian aviation authorities, and keep them out of the airspace of hostile countries that would attempt confiscation, they’d be essentially lost to their rightful owners for years, if not indefinitely.
Government action exclusion…
Ah. So the owners are SOL.
I’d say, eventually, the taxpayers will be SOL…
As it was, is, and ever shall be…
In the continuing COVID insanity, my vaxxed 85 year old MIL cannot see her unvaxxed friends or even her unvaxxed children and grandchildren (meaning my family) right now because my BIL will not let her in his house for two weeks after exposure to the unvaxxed. She’s relatively dependent on him for a lot of things so it’s a hard rule.
My wife is livid to say the least.
Two years of Covid hysteria have seriously brain-damaged a lot of people.
That’s how it was with us unclean, pureblood heathens too.
You can’t make this stuff up. What has caused this kind of irrational behavior? I feel bad for your MIL and your BIL.
That pisses me off and I don’t know them, can’t imagine how pissed she must be.
Fuck.
The guy with the forklift put a new meaning on night withdrawal. If he used the Timothy McVeigh method of renting and used his real name he shouldn’t be too hard to find.
Odds are that they stole it from a local construction site.
Keys? Knowledge of how to operate… sounds like an inside job to me.
Laborers steal stuff from their own sites all the time. If I were investigating, I would definitely start there.
Driving those things isn’t particularly difficult anyway. The hard part is knowing what you can do with them without tipping them over.
Random fact that may become useful in the coming hostilities:
Most Caterpillar bulldozers use the same key.
That too. If heavy equipment had unique keys, it would be a constant battle trying to keep construction sites operational. They lose keys all the damn time, or more commonly, the guy who was using it yesterday took them home and called in sick today.
That’s why my drivers have a complete set of keys for all of our equipment in their trucks.
Yep. It’s been a while since I’ve used an John Deere equipment so I don’t know if still true today, but they used the same key for everything for a long time. You could buy a used POS riding lawn mower at an estate sale, and take the key to a JD dealership and use it to drive away with a brand new $500,000 combine.
KOMO News talked with those getting help from a non-profit group, transporting their belongings. Vai, the elder in the group, tells me she wants to know where the millions of dollars the city received to help people like them, is going.
Homeless advocates gotta eat, same as worms.
I read it here or on TOS ages ago- the advocacy and grievance industries are self-perpetuating.
Of course, think of all the money that wouldn’t be available for grifting if the homeless problem was ever solved.
Or if people could just learn to ignore them (or only offer help through charity).
Gimmie gimmie gimmie.
Also… “elder”? What, are they like a tribe now?

Tucker Carlson realizes that every word out of the mouths of our public officials is bs. When they aren’t under oath they just straight up lie. When not under oath, they use weasal words and lie by omission – and idiot Senators don’t seem phased by it.
Oh yeah, we really were funding bioweapons labs in the Ukraine, because why not?
notThat nice lady assured us those were the good kind of bioweapons labs.
They are completely harmless unless the rooskies get them.
The same nice lady who was at the center of the 2014 coup in the Ukraine that led to where we are today.
Not that this group much needs the reminder, but never forget that when anyone talks about “stamping out disinformation”, what they mean is ensuring that the truth remains nothing more than a dismissible “conspiracy theory”.
You know how when a Iaw is named after a dead girl that it’s going to be terrible?
Well, this one is named after a dead puppy. A labradoodle. Because of course.
Sure, I’d take care of your dog for the week end, Charlie, but I’m not licensed and well, you know, I don’t want to get in any trouble.
Why is it suddenly so expensive to board a dog in Massachusetts?
Exactly – my (excellent) walker will board our pup; she just stays at the house, sleeps with the walker’s pup, etc.
I predict my walker will have to stop offering that service if they make any law too broad and ham-handed (as they most assuredly will).
This dog has FUCKING PAPERS!
Only dead puppy law I’d support would involve beagles and Fauci.
Abso-fucking-lutely.

Speaking of the panicdemic- will/has “immunocompromised” become the new fad ailment of the day, dfisplacing glutenphobia?
I got that back in the earlier freak-out days when some woman didn’t want to get on the elevator with me.
I so wanted to ask her why she even left the house.
The cynic in me says when two trend lines intersected:
+ Victimhood is the highest social goal / status
+ Being immunocompromised means you get to club the unclean unbelievers into compliance.
So social status + perceived power.
Frankly, if we’re having that many immunity disorders these days, it is well past time that the medical community should be actually looking at causes. As opposed to “gun violence” or “systemic racism” or whatnot…
Immunocompromised = not immortal.
Everyone dies of something eventually. The obsession with denying that fact and letting it overshadow enjoyment of what life we do have is mind boggling to me.
It became quite clear during Covid hysteria that avoiding all risk of dying was more important than living, despite the fact that masking, curfews, isolation, quarantine, didn’t work at all.
There are still people wearing masks voluntarily. There are still people getting cryogenically preserved after death in hopes of extending life.
I, for one, look forward to the afterlife. This place is not meant to be our permanent home.
“ It became quite clear during Covid hysteria that avoiding all risk of dying was more important than living”
To clarify, I don’t mean that I bought that point of view, but enough policymakers did that they fucked it up for the rest of us.
Again, not just policy-makers, but a substantial part of the electorate.
My mother will still not hug her grandkids. COVID has broken her.
She doesn’t go anywhere, gets her groceries from Wal Mart’s curbside pickup, doesn’t seem like living to me.
I understand she is scared at 74 years old, morbidly obese and just finished chemo, but it’s been two years since she hugged them.
She wants to do our biannual family vacation this July, maybe she can enjoy life by then?
Lie? We got vaxxed, mom.
Not my kids, we haven’t seen her since this stupidity started, my wife is unjabbed and I am not a liar.
She thinks she’ll be OK to see us in July, if not, life goes on.
I understand she is scared at 74 years old, morbidly obese and just finished chemo, but it’s been two years since she hugged them.
My wife’s father underwent heart surgery and died of a complication in the hospital. Catching covid would have very likely killed him, but even if not, would have delayed his desperately need operation. He and the MIL were very close to our kids, but they hadn’t seen in them in months. I asked them to at least come to the end of the driveway (with two gates separating) to see the kids and let the kids see him before the operation. They refused and he died without the grandkids ever getting to say goodbye or see him one last time.
I still regret I didn’t push them harder, for the kids and my wife’s sake.
That’s really sad. Sorry, man.
That is sad. Sorry.
Because of my bone marrow/blood cancer and suppression chemo, I truly am immunocompromised, but have never made that someone else’s problem during the pandemic. Except I’m not allowed to clean the cat litter box.
Not having to clean the cat litter box is a bonus, not an issue.
First and foremost, OMWC, we are all thinking about you and SP and hoping the the very best of outcomes.
In much lighter news, the Daihatsu Rocky is still not starting after the fuel pump and filter change.
Last night I put 5 more gallons in tank to reduce head pressure to the pump. Cracked the top fuel filter banjo and primed the pump a few times. No gas leaking from banjo bolt/ff. Next up I rechecked my work by checking the polarity on the pump, sure enough, wired it up backwards. So I remedied this, tightened the banjo bolt, primed system about 10 times, then cranked… No start… Loosened the same banjo fitting (no gas spilled putl. Primed the pump with the banjo loose, still no gas…
Only three options left that I can see:
1. Fuel filter is blocked (it is right now oriented correctly with the flow). I can check this by loosening the harder to access, bigger PITA, lower banjo bolt.
2. Pump is not priming either because the head differential is too great to overcome, or the pickup is blocked (unlikely as it worked before change in pump)
3. Bad fuel pump (though it does turn on and sounds relatively healthy).
How is the pump assembled? I know nothing about this kind of pump, but it’s a frequent problem with some types of pumps that have a threaded-on impeller that running them in the wrong direction will cause the impeller to unthread itself from the shaft. The motor will continue to run and sound like it’s working but the impeller will do no work.
That’s a good call. Claypoolreservoir I really feel for you. That is a miserable issue.
It’s a pain, but luckily it’s essentially a road going farm truck. So I can live without a solution for quite a while. Just trying to avoid taking it to a shop… Gotta save that money for gas! Thanks Obiden!
yuh oh… :). Napa was good about accepting the exchange for the first pump (where I broke the negative terminal stud clean off because I’m strong like ox, I make break M4 stud easy). Soooo hopefully they’ll accept a second exchange where I bring back a second “defective” unit.
Did you take the line off from the pump to the fuel filter?
If fuel is flowing into the filter, you’ve found the restriction.
If it’s not, work your way back to the pump.
Maybe take the outlet off of the pump to verify it is pumping.
Yep, that’s what I’ll be checking tonight. Fuel line right after the pump.
The snow was falling yesterday, so I took a pic of the park to make my TX friends jealous.
https://www.glibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/snow-park-scaled.jpg
I thought it was pretty obvious that this was fresh warm weather snow. But maybe I’ve changed what I’d consider “obvious” since I moved up here. They were thinking it was snow left over from the blizzards a couple of weeks back.
You learned to read snow. They see it so rarely it’s still alien to them.
That’s the reason I live where I do. The beauty of an Ansel Adams photo in real life is transitory and breath taking. The changing of the seasons is sudden or at least seems to be. After a snow like that I enjoy a drive to look at the trees, much like spring and fall capture me as well.
The Ansel Adams comparison is one I’ve made before too.
I don’t recognize the name. Wilderness photographer?
Yep. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ansel_Adams
His posters were on dorm room walls everywhere for a time.
An Ansel Adams print was de rigueur during my college years.
One sister used to live in MA, and took a photo of the snow from the 2015 blizzard to text to TX sister.
TX sister replied with a screenshot of the weather app on her phone showing the temperature in the 70s.
Poor girl, roasting to death. TX Sister needs to come to snowland.
What is this “snow” you speak of?
Like hail, except softer and doesn’t do as much damage. It also sticks around for a bit longer as well.
Snow is that stuff that exists on the mountain pass between the desert where I live and the desert where I work.

This one – the one dominated by American hubris. This is the problem with raising a couple of generations with zero appreciation for the classics (Greek and Roman) – we are failing all of the lessons they learned. Hubris has now met nemesis, just as it did then.
I should add.
An astonishing development that really isn’t surprising anyone, is it.
I called this immediately. I knew our government was doing something that we would consider an act of war ourselves if the shoe was on the other foot.
Our government is an asshole, Putin and his people are assholes. I say we lock them all in a dungeon filled to the brim with rusty, unsharpened medieval weaponry and let them sort it out before they get any people that aren’t psychopaths killed.
It’s assholes all the way down.
But what about the Dicks and the Pussies?

RO Govt. assures no fuel shortage expected
https://www.romania-insider.com/ro-govt-no-fuel-shortage-mar-2022
A bunch of morons panicked and stayed hours in line for gas like in the good old days (well back then you stayed days not hours). Gas peaked at 10.5 american dollars per american gallon at some gas stations.
I don’t want to pay $4/gal. I’m sure as hell not paying 10.
I don’t care that the low fuel light is on.
The good news is that at $10 a gallon there is no shortage.
Yesterday there was a huge line for gas at the Sam’s Club near the hotel we are stuck in. Then they raised their prices by 20 cents a gallon and the line went away.
Doesn’t Romania still have enough petroleum production for domestic consumption?
No.
There are offshore reserves of oil and natural gas but because political dicking around compounded with nationalistic “the furriners are coming to steal our resources” they are not being exploited.
we have more than 3 times the refinery capacity than internal production though.
Romanian vehicles can use American gallons? Is that like a flex fuel setting?
Well, I laughed
Russia acknowledges conscripts were part of Ukraine operation, some are POWs
Likewise for Ukraine. And I wouldn’t expect Russia to commit its best forces in an action that has the potential to escalate to a regional conflict.
Lots of Ukrainian conscripts – they went full mobilization. Russia, however, had said they sent only the pros. Just a smooth professional denazification op! You know the “reformed” Russian Army…New Professionalism!

It really is a good gotcha question.
“Is racial discrimination in the pursuance of equity acceptable?”
It’s not even a gotcha. It’s literally out of their playbook.
This reminds me of something Michael Malice likes to say. If you ask the question are some cultures better than others, conservatives will say yes, liberals will give you a speech. This is what drives me nuts about these people on the left. Just say what you believe. If you really don’t like how it sounds without doing ten minutes of mental gymnastics, maybe you should reconsider the position in the first place.

Reiner said, “Florida has a disgraceful surgeon general. I think what has become abundantly clear is children do get this virus. Most children thankfully will do fine with it, but the CDC says we’ve lost about 1,400 kids to coronavirus, and thousands and thousands of children have been hospitalized. That can almost entirely be prevented by vaccination. Even though there’s some data that suggests children between 5 and 11 have had a bit less of a benefit in terms of preventing infection with this vaccine, the vaccine remains very, very effective preventing those children from serious illness. Every child in this country should be vaccinated for Coronavirus. The surgeon general has been anti-mask –”
Tapper said, “The surgeon general of Florida.”
Reiner said, “Absolutely. The surgeon general of Florida has been anti-mask, anti-vax.”
He added, “It’s an embarrassment.”
By all means, give kids an injection known to be more harmful than the virus it supposedly stops when the injection is far out of date of the strain of the virus. Seems legit.
Tapper is a corrupt piece of shit. RFK Jr has documented his venality in detail.
Hmm, someone that answers to the governor of Florida versus someone who answers to… no one in particular?
I think the latest Project Veritas video was enlightening. They know it’s a lie, they know it’s way over the top, they might even laugh about off camera. But they keep pushing that narrative.
the CDC says we’ve lost about 1,400 kids to coronavirus
That’s a flat out lie. The CDC doesn’t count deaths from COVID. It counts deaths with COVID.
That can almost entirely be prevented by vaccination.

Conservative lawmakers from the Republican Study Committee (RSC) and the Heritage Foundation criticized the fact that this bill will be voted on less than 12 hours after it was released to lawmakers and the public, giving them little time to understand what is in the bill.
Standard procedure is standard.

The widow of Metropolitan Police Officer Jeffrey Smith has won a months-long fight to have her husband’s death declared in the line of duty, following his suicide days after the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol.
According to a letter obtained exclusively by CNN, the District of Columbia’s Police and Firefighters’ Retirement and Relief Board has found that Smith “sustained a personal injury on January 6, 2021, while performing his duties and that his injury was the sole and direct cause of his death.”
The ruling makes his family eligible to receive benefits.
If you shoot yourself or whatever he did any injury that actually did happen is moot. What a fucking farce.

This is why they’ve been so hysterical to try to get everyone “vaccinated”, they need to eliminate the control group.
As concise a demonstration of the failure of the vaccines as you will find. Even moreso when you understand that the comparison is between the more virulent virus of a year ago, and the less virulent Omicron variant.
So compelling that a control group isn’t needed (or, alternatively, is found in the population pre-vax). And one thing the Brits do well is public health data.
Teed up for failure
Poland proposed putting the planes under U.S. custody at a U.S. base in Germany for later transfer to Ukraine as the U.S. saw fit. The plan was a nonstarter for the Biden administration, which seeks to avoid becoming a direct or indirect combatant in Putin’s war.
“We do not support the transfer of additional fighter aircraft to the Ukrainian air force at this time and therefore have no desire to see them in our custody, either,” Defense Department spokesman John Kirby said Wednesday, putting the nail in the coffin of a plan the Polish government announced Tuesday. He said Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin had conveyed that brusque message directly to Poland’s defense minister.
It now falls on Harris, in one of her biggest moments yet on the world stage, to mend the diplomatic rift while trying to keep the focus on her trip’s dual priorities: affirming the U.S. commitment to defend Poland and other NATO allies and encouraging Poland to stay the course as the largest recipient of Ukrainian refugees fleeing the war — well more than a million people and counting.
Harris, in a joint news conference Thursday with Polish President Andrzej Duda at Belwelder Palace, did not directly answer when asked about the U.S.-Polish miscue on MiG planes.
“The United States and Poland are united in both what we have done and are prepared to do to help Ukraine and the Ukrainian people,” Harris said, calling it an “ongoing process.”
Harris will patch this up, no problem. She can just use her Magic Vagina Powers.
So where the fuck did all those “Cash for Clunker Fighter Planes” stories come from? Unnamed trial balloon launchers?
Surely the genius that brought us this pearl of wisdom can fix it:
If I didn’t work with a bunch of brainwashed people, I would print this without her name on it, just to see if anyone knew it.
Cool plan – give their crappy old Migs to the Ukrainians to immediately get shot down while the U.S. gives them nice new planes.
Wait – that was the plan all along? I had no idea…
From what I read, the US, in the person of Secretary Blinken, originally authorized a plan whereby Poland would directly transfer the MiGs to Ukraine. Poland, wisely, insisted on other NATO states being materially involved in the transfer. If Poland were to transfer them to a non-NATO state, Russia might claim it as an act of war and use it as an excuse to attack Poland directly. Were this to happen, a weaselly NATO member known for hanging its allies out to dry on occasion might make the argument that Poland was the initial aggressor in the conflict, which would allow a way out of the Article 5 duty among NATO members to protect each other from aggression.
So, when called out, the U.S. decided to nix the deal. Clearly other nations are providing arms to NATO, but Poland is in a uniquely dangerous situation, relative to the Western European and North American members, given its common border with Russia.
Should read: “Clearly other NATO nations are providing arms to Ukraine…”
I wonder what the real story is. Just a week ago, Poland was trying to unilaterally transfer the jets directly to Ukraine but Nato talked them out of it.
Probably a good idea for Poland to get something other than Russian jets anyway. The odds that they will directly border (de facto) Russia when this war ends are still pretty good.
*checks map*
Actually, they already do.
And in fact, the 1939 borders of Poland extend well into Belorus – built in border conflict!
So fly the MiGs to right by the Ukraine border, land and park them on highways. Ukrainian pilots sneak over the border and “steal” them.
You’d like that wouldn’t you?
Americans could be cutting steaks and burgers from their diets as inflation soars, if beef-packer profit margins are any indication.
Processors like Tyson Foods Inc. and JBS USA are making the least amount of money per head of cattle slaughtered in more than two years, according to data from HedgersEdge LLC. That’s a sign that demand for the luxury meat is flagging. …
“On the demand side, the concern is discretionary spending,” said Don Roose, president of brokerage U.S. Commodities Inc. in West Des Moines, Iowa. “Will consumers look to cheaper proteins or will they skip proteins?”
Seeing these assholes jerking it to the thought of high beef prices is disgusting as most of the people penning these articles have enough money to absorb the increased costs. They can fuck right off.
if beef-packer profit margins are any indication
Hold on – we were just told by our glorious leaders that this was all caused by meat-packer profiteering from too little competition! Don’t confuse The Narrative dammit!
STEVE SMITH CONFIRM: MEAT PACKER PROFITS POINTING UP. BIG MEAT ALWAYS WIN.
I do love the misdirection from “prices are increasing” to “profit margin are increasing”.
Is that even true?
Likely not. Profits could be up 100k and the profit margin could still fall a couple percent. Imma guess 95% of people who write news articles have never taken an accountin’ course.
Of course they are. I, OTH, will instantly be obliterated when they hit NYC so not a big concern.
Nuclear Angst Sparks Demand for Iodide Pills
I’m imagining all the snowflakes taking notes here:
Duck and Cover (1080p) (Remastered)
Living in a post nuclear holocaust world wouldn’t be any fun anyway, what with the carnivorous mutants and the zombies and the lack of any basic necessities and whatnot.
I’m in the 5psi overpreassure zone – I’ll probably croak right away.
https://nuclearsecrecy.com/nukemap/?&kt=800&lat=42.358056&lng=-71.063611&hob_psi=5&hob_ft=9511&ff=50&psi=20,5,1&zm=11
I live within 10 miles of the local nuclear power plant. Assuming a 300 kt surface burst (to maximize damage to the plant and its auxiliaries), it looks like I’m just outside the 1 psi zone and with our normal prevailing winds should be upwind of the fallout plume, but…still would be no fun at all.
I’m assuming Boston is worthy of one of their 800kt warheads.
If it’s just a 300kt warhead, I get to die of 3rd-degree burns.
I didn’t want to assume that the only Russian warhead listed would be the one they’d use on every target. If the goal is to take out energy infrastructure, there’s no need to use a warhead larger than what will take out the baseload plants and critical switchyards.
I wonder what kind of list you get on when you drag the target icon over a nucelar power plant?
Also, I assumed a surface detonation would be used to do maximum damage to the physical equipment rather than the general area around it.
I have not played with that web page in a long time. *Drags 800kt to the Jefferson Monument*
Do they even load their ICBMs with warheads that “small”?
The Topol carries a single 800kt warhead.
(the only Russian option in the presets, as far as I saw)
Bumping it up to the Topol M 1mt warhead doesn’t make much difference for my prospects; it doesn’t expand the 5psi overpressure zone all that much, and the instant-death fireball zone still isn’t close to me.
I’m in the 1 psi “windows break” zone relative to Manhattan. Thinking maybe I should get a bunch of plywood.
Iodine pills are the next horse dewormer.
Yeah, I’m about 10 miles from a strategic military target.
They don’t need to aim at cities.
Aim at real military targets and energy/distribution infrastructure.
The cities will implode fast under their own unfed and in-the-dark populations.
Yep. It’s terrifying how fast we would be in the stone age.
But hatching the plot, encouraging the contacts and supplying the materials does.
None of the attorneys denied that their clients made mean, outrageous, or offensive statements about the governor and others during the summer of 2020. They all denied, however, that any of their clients knowingly agreed to and took concrete steps to carry out a proposed plan to kidnap Whitmer. The defense attorneys made repeated mentions to the number of FBI agents and informants involved in the undercover work and claimed that many aspects of the plot, from training sessions to recon missions to scope out the governor’s residence, were led and underwritten by the FBI.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan Roth pushed back on the claims in his opening statement, pointing out that giving someone the opportunity to commit a crime does not make an entrapment case. Roth also said that the amount of FBI resources devoted to the case is a reflection of the seriousness of the crime, and the number of agents and informants used is not evidence of entrapment.
Doesn’t the opportunity to commit a crime exist more or less in nature? How does the FBI passively “give someone an opportunity” that they have without the FBI doing anything? If the FBI is doing anything much at all, they are going beyond giving someone an opportunity.
Yeah, if I was the defense I’d definitely jump on that “give opportunity” language. If there was NO opportunity before that, then the FBI opened a door that would otherwise have been shut. I guess their counter would be they didn’t force anyone to walk through it, but that kinda depends on what incentives they might have offered as well — money, protection, aid, etc. If the govt reduces the opportunity cost, the defendant’s assessment of what’s going on and the risks is false. I’d also want to know what exactly any of those agents and informants said partway into the process – anything like “well, you’re in it now buddy, no turning back!”
This is perfect!

Another one bites the damn dust. If you can’t get unbiased results from them what’s the point, I can get better manipulated bullshit from Google.
DDG stopped being unbiased a while back, and that was on top of the hit’n’miss search results. It was never terribly useful.
There is the beta of the Brave search engine I switched to for comparison
Trash your entire business model because Russians are bad. Good plan.
They’re going to wreck themselves. Anyone familiar with Yandex or another viable alternative? Maybe Brave’s new search engine…
I just switched my mobile browser to Brave. I’ll let you know how it goes.
I’ve been using mobile Brave for a couple of years now. it’s great
I use Brave on my PC. I used to use it, got frustrated with its bugs, went back to Firefox, got frustrated with the bloat, then came back to Brave. The intervening time was enough so I don’t run into bugs anymore.
I mostly use Firefox on my phone (in deference to Trashy’s add-ons for Glibs), but I also use Opera because Opera reflows the website text instead of making you scroll left and right, which reflow I need for my recipes site.
I use Safari on my iPad.
Firefox (Mozilla) is run by actual communists. They can bite me.
It’s not trashing their entire business model, they are based on privacy and not tracking you.
Still not a good look though.
What’s the next alternative? I’m immediately switching off of DDG because this is a huge breach of trust, but Im not sure what to switch to.
Eleven minutes of blather that can be summarized as “I don’t like DDG”.
He also seems confused about the difference between a browser

Hasn’t the US been shooting these into caves for the last two decades?
Accusations that Russia may be using thermobaric weapons in Ukraine have raised fears about the potential devastation that could result from attacks with the so-called vacuum bombs.
Oksana Markarova, Ukraine’s ambassador to the United States, said Monday that the Russian military had used a vacuum bomb, which sucks oxygen from the air to trigger a huge explosion. Markarova did not provide additional details and NBC News has not independently verified that the weapon has been used in Ukraine, but Russian thermobaric rocket launchers have been photographed entering the country by a CNN team. …
The potential use of vacuum bombs is of particular concern because these thermobaric munitions are designed to cause immense destruction.
Yeah, we use them:
https://news.yahoo.com/what-is-a-thermobaric-bomb-and-why-is-it-so-deadly-120341716.html
But it’s different when we do it.
It’s Fuel-Air-Explosives that nobody is supposed to use any more. A difference with little distinction.
Much better if people are killed by old-fashioned bombs.
Would it make you feel any better if they was pushed out of windows?
Russia’s got that covered, too.
Came across this last night and found it rather uplifting, if anyone is interested. You don’t need acres of land out in the country to be self-sustaining or at least provide a buffer against food shortages/prices. It’s an intense setup but could go much smaller scale. Aquaponics is on my to do list in the next few years. Not a big fan of eating fish though… maybe Oscars or Koi for fun.

The country is bad for food supply. You need high population density.
Didn’t the Mesopotamians do that a long time ago?
Thank you for that! Im not gonna get pigs, but fish maybe…
Pigs are delicious but I’ll cop to finding them way too cute at that size.
We’re on the litter list for two potbelly pigs due this Spring. Not for eating, but just to free range in the yard. Will be interesting to see the parade of geese, pigs, ducks, and dogs greet us each morning.
Wife is deadset on emus. It’s a real possibility in the next couple years, but I’ll need to raise the fence several feet.
If I may ask, how much land are you working with these animals?
My total acreage is 30, but it gets a bit fuzzy on the subdivided areas. I’d guess 12-15 acres of pasture for the livestock. I fenced in a large piece around the house that is ~3 acres. Dogs and birds are within that inner yard.
The rest of the property is forest, a large stocked pond, and another pasture that’s since been reclaimed by pine trees. One day I might clear out the back pasture, but no rush right now.
Nice. Our old house was on 20 acres, fully wooded. Currently we have a lot less land, but a decent sized pond and enough area to grow a substantial quantity of vegetables. I have a small plot that I’ve been meaning to plant fruit trees on, but have not got around to it.
Previous owners of this property have kept horses on it, but I’m not a horse person.
I’m not a horse person either. A pond and enough land for a garden and an orchard sounds perfect.
Our pond had been fished out by poachers when we moved in, but I’ve restocked in with bluegill and small mouth bass. Kingfishers and a heron have returned to it now, which has been cool to watch.
The potential use of vacuum bombs is of particular concern because these thermobaric munitions are designed to cause immense destruction.
Neutron bombs it is, then.

Regarding the Polish MIGS, I’ve yet to hear a reporter ask “how many planes are we talking about?” and “how many trained MIG pilots does Ukraine have sitting around with nothing better to do?” If there are trained pilots, what happened to their Ukrainian planes? Destroyed on the ground by the Russkies? If so, why were they on the ground instead of in combat? Shot down but pilots survived? Coverage of this war has been so inept. even with Lester Holt on the ground! Anyone know what happened to that 40 mile Russian convoy that was in the news every minute last week?
Can’t remember the exact number but I think it was around 24 if I remember correctly. They should just scrap them and give the Ukrainians the money because they’d be flaming heaps in short order.
I think I’ve read answers to most of those questions. Not sure how accurate the info was, but my understanding was that most of Ukraine’s air force was destroyed on the ground in the initial phases of attacks by missiles.
I believe I’ve read the same.
There is no actual reporting anymore.
No one is sending reporters in on the ground to investigate and get facts.
Talking heads on major networks just repeat what they see on social media.
Or what the national security apparatus tells them to report.

The “confidential” “sources” in the IC alone should be a giveaway. Either their ability to maintain secrecy is poor or it’s intentional and blessed. And I know which one I’d pick. Neither one speaks to competency or professionalism towards their stated mission. Which again, isn’t what they actually do.
I’ll give our government credit. They’ve managed to develop a very effective propaganda system where a very large portion of the populace doesn’t even realize it exists.
Multifaceted too! The WWII propaganda machine of the Ad Council is still going strong.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-60506682
This is the best source of information I’ve found so far. BBC, so still take with a grain of salt, but there are at least actual maps showing held territory and advances.
The convoy towards Kyiv is holding 19 miles out, but the reasons for not advancing (e.g., out of gas) are speculation. Russia has swept through the south, including taking major cities. It appears though that they have not yet actually tried to take Kyiv and some other major cities. Their tactic right now is bombardment, starvation, and cutting off energy. So all of the reporting about Kyiv beating back the Russians seems wildly premature.
We’re still only around Day 10 of Russia actually moving forces into Ukraine. The world’s focus as been on the North while Russia has been mopping up in the South.
BBC, when doing straight reporting is fantastic.
Thanks for the link!
Well at least they are not Romanian MIGs. One randomly crashed last week on a training flight. They send a helicopter to look for it and that crashed as well.
Consistency in application is the key to repeatable results.

There is no such thing as peak stupid / virtue signaling.
Among the deluge of sanctions and boycotts imposed on Russia over the past two weeks, one in particular stood out to me: an announcement by EA Sports that it would remove the Russian national team and Russian clubs from its popular FIFA video game series. “EA Sports stands in solidarity with the Ukrainian people and like so many voices across the world of football, calls for peace and an end to the invasion of Ukraine,” the company said in a statement on Twitter on Wednesday.
That will show Russia! What stupid idiotic nonsense.
They should have kept the teams but made the players really gay.

“Medical treatment”
The Idaho House of Representatives on Tuesday passed legislation to make it a crime punishable by life in prison for a parent to seek out gender-affirming health care for their transgender child.
——-
Four experts who reviewed the legislation told NBC News that the Idaho proposal could be vulnerable to legal challenges. It is not unlike laws from a prior generation, including the criminalization of interracial couples traveling to another state to get married, the experts said, which was struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court. People already take trips to other states to do things that are legal that they can’t do where they live — from consuming cannabis, gambling or buying fireworks to obtaining an abortion — and there’s little states can do to stop that because of constitutional limits on restricting interstate travel.
Just like slaves escaping the Confederacy.
Now do bans on gay conversion therapy. I’ll wait.
One involves surgery and one doesn’t?
Anti-LGBTQ legislation has been increasing at the state level in recent years, with 17 bills signed into law in 2021, more than the previous three years combined, according to the Human Rights Campaign.
In a recent survey by The Trevor Project, 85 percent of trans and nonbinary youth said debates about state laws restricting the rights of transgender people negatively impacted their mental health.
“This national political assault is not really about trans youth,” Ames, of the Trevor Project, said. “It’s very clear that this has become a useful political wedge issue in a hotly contested political climate. The fact that we are playing politics with young people’s lives like this is an indication to me that we are dealing with the worst kind of politics we know in this country, which is the kind that assumes an acceptable risk of casualties.”
Playing politics with young lives? That’s our job.
It’s an outrage.
People have to wait until they’re 18 to sign contracts. I don’t see the problem making them wait until they’re 18 to initiate surgery.
The hormone therapies are just as permanent as surgery.
That, too. Just make them wait to make these decisions until they can legally sign contracts.
So 26?
That occurred to me after I hit POST.
Matthew Shepard agrees.
Define “Anti-LGBTXYZ”.
In a way that sensibly relates to the actual legislation in question.

This is where the gender is a social construct people always lose me.
That is the point. Most people can recognize that it isn’t the gender, but the traditional roles that genders stereotypically fell into depending on the culture or subculture. The people who push its a social construct know that also, but to push their agenda, you muddy the waters and make it incomprehensible.

Tomboys have always been my favorites. Way more than girly girls.
^^^ My wife grew up a tomboy. Always working on the car with her dad, riding on his bike to school, etc.
I wasn’t a complete tomboy. I like lots of girl things (crafts and pretty things), but to me, DIY is an extension of creativity with different materials and heavier tools. Carpentry is just tailoring with wood, saws, and screws instead of fabric, scissors, and thread.
Women are taking up DIY all over the place, improving their homes, flipping, whatnot, because they a) find it part of homemaking. a supremely enjoyable and satisfying part, b) get tired of paying high prices or waiting for a contractor, c) husbands don’t really want to do it or it’s out of their scope, and d) women tend to be more precise. Or at least, that’s what one flipper told me why he wrangles his daughters and daughter-in-law to work for him.
So in the neighborhood I just escaped, most of the wives did the DIY because they liked to and the husbands brought home the bacon.
Likewise, sewing machine is just another power tool. And cooking on a stove or oven isn’t that removed from cooking outside over a flame.
Hey, it’s almost as if there really aren’t women only or men only tasks or hobbies.
Right?!
Sewing machines scare me about as much as table saws. At least with a table saw, you can put a guard on the blade and you don’t have to have your hand within fractions of an inch of it.

Oh wow for db/tripacer and other aviationgeeks….
Just did a playback for our air traffic folk. Aircraft was lined up for rwy 8R to land and on very short final while we had a departing flight on 01R. These intersect here at KLAS. Our ground radar and safety logic blurted out RWY 8R go around, like it should cause the 01R guy was rolling.
Guy didn’t just go around. He hard banked and landed on the parallel taxiway to 01R. The guy who landed on the taxiway is claiming he was always lined up for 01L to land…but uh…radar don’t lie.
Yikes. I’m not even an aviationgeek, but that sounds less than safe.
