It’s an open thread, discuss what yinz want to.
Week 1 had no games that were interesting, Week 2 does. So, as usual, let’s start with $1000 and make some bets for $100 each unless otherwise stated.
Thursday:
#4 Ohio State at Minnesota 8:00 PM. O State is a 14 point favorite and won’t cover this spread on the road against a bunch of 13 striped pocket gophers.
Bowling Green at Tennessee 8:00 PM: The VOls are giving 35??? Nope. BGSU covers. Sorry Eagles and Rain!
Friday:
Michigan State at Northwestern 9:00 PM: Wildcats are 3 point favorites against the lowly Spartans. The Wildcats are pretty erratic tho…but 3 points…at home…I’m picking the Spartans to cover.
Saturday:
#19 Penn State at #12 Wisconsin 12:00 PM. This is a VERY important early game for both programs. Camp Randall is hell to play in, the noise is unreal. Penn State is 5.5 point dog tho??? Nah, they cover.
#17 Indiana at #18 Iowa 3:30 PM. IU is giving 3, they have been pretty good the last couple of years, they cover at Iowa.
#23 Louisiana at #21 Texas 4:30 PM: Ragin Cajuns ranked!!! They are getting 8 points. I don’t think that they cover. They just might win tho!
#5 Georgia at #3 Clemson 7:30 PM: Easily the game of the week. UGA is giving 3 at Death Valley. This is a tough one. UGA covers. But I don’t feel great about this pick.
**result for week 1 and 2 6/8 $1400/$1000***
they’ll shut down all ball in…well…i give the over/under 4 weeks.
any takers?

The official spokesperson for the Taliban, Zabiullah Mujahid, has said that China will be the Taliban’s “main partner” in helping to rebuild Afghanistan.
In an interview published by Italian newspaper La Repubblica on Wednesday, Mujahid said, “China will be our main partner and represents a great opportunity for us because it is ready to invest in our country and support reconstruction efforts.”

Long story regarding how I’m now in this rabbit hole, but all of the lockdowns last year kept people at home not able to go do things Apparently lots of guys got into woodturning as a hobby to keep occupied. Tools and supplies have been hard to get this year, some lead times on some tools now showing into January 2022 from some suppliers.
So this doesn’t seem to be a crash but either pent-up demand or re-directed, unexpected demand driven by government interference

“Even U.S.-made furniture is taking longer to make, though, due to a foam shortage that has affected manufacturers. That started when Texas was stuck in a deep freeze in February, since chemical plants that provide the necessary components to make the foam were shut down for extended periods.
Add that on top of that, there is short-staffing in factories and COVID-19-inspired delays. Virtually no furniture chain can keep up, especially with the skyrocketing demand for all sorts of items.”

It’s not the least bit odd. Because if they do that they’ll get leveled for NOT reporting on this: This is just blood-boiling. Dateline yesterday, from Salena Zito
For the last few weeks, Lt. Col. Jonathon Myers, a retired Marine intelligence officer, conducted a sleepless and exhaustive effort to get American citizens and green card holders connected with Marines in Afghanistan out of the country before the Aug. 31 withdrawal deadline.
.
.
Myers has been working with two other retired Marines, Katy Garroway of Maryland and Rico Reyes of Texas. In the final grim 12 hours in Kabul, no matter what anyone in military leadership or President Joe Biden said, no Americans who reached the airport were able to get out, Myers said.
“Within that last 12 hours, I had four buses of American citizens outside the gate,” he said. “They were mostly pregnant women and babies, including a child with spina bifida, just all packed together waiting at the gate.”
Myers said his team paid off the Taliban with a big bribe to allow their buses to go through. “They got to the gate, and there was an aid organization that was supposed to meet us with representatives, with the rosters, and to tell the Taliban to expect them.”
The aid organization didn’t show up.
“I, in panic mode, called, and called, and called all my Marine networks, I got the number for one of the top commanders down there explained the situation and we got in a big argument when he told me the Taliban makes the calls down here,” said Myers.
They never got out.

@ eaglesoars:
Blood boiling doesn’t begin to describe it. It would have been one thing if the Americans had been given months to prepare and get out, but only a few weeks ago, the Vegetable in Chief stated that a Taliban takeover was months away. There is a special place in hell for the people in the administration that have done this to their fellow citizens. They are supposed to be taking care of US citizens, not abandoning them to savages.
@ AZfederalist:
I want a lot of people court martialed, sentenced to some time in whatever military prison applies, and dishonorably discharged.

A more likely scenario is that Afghanistan was surrendered at the urging of the Red Chinese, who saw an opportunity to blackmail old Joe for the many kickbacks he and his son, Hunter, had been taking throughout his years in Washington, D.C. It is no secret that the Red Chinese have had their eye on Afghanistan’s mineral deposits. Just two weeks before the American surrender, a Chinese delegation met in Kabul with the Taliban. Although the mainstream media have protected and covered for Joe Biden, reports of information contained on Hunter Biden’s laptop and emails exchanged between his partner, Tony Bobulinski, and Hunter, are damning proof of illicit wheeling and dealing by the Bidens to provide access to the White House while Joe was vice president
@ eaglesoars:
yes, and that leak of the Biden/Ghani call came from the intel community because he’s blaming them for the cluster fuck known as Afghanistan.
But they were a big reason Trump lost, so they can eat it.

I haz another recipe. I only tried this with fresh corn, but it’s a pain in the buttinski to shuck the ears and knife the kernels with a knife from the cob. Tomorrow I’m getting a great big bag of frozen corn, dumping it a colander and letting it thaw/drain for a few hours.
Bake some bacon (at least 4 strips, 350 degrees 23-30 minutes) When cool, break up.
Chop up some fat tomatoes, 2-3, let them drain in another colander
chop some scallions and fresh basil (or herb of your choice)
All your prep done? Ok.
1. heat oven to 350
2. saute corn in 2-3 tlb butter until heated thru and silky, 5 mins or so
3. add bacon and tomatoes, stir to mix, I add a bit of S&P at this step
4. once everything is heated thru, turn over into a casserole dish, mix in scallions and herbs
5. bake for 25-30 mins.
You won’t believe how good this is. It takes some pre-prep, like baking the bacon, but nothing has to be done all at once.

It’s also not an area know for it’s “diversity” in fact due to it’s low native population it’s less diverse than the rest of the state, so I’m not exactly sure how they were able to put together a BLM protest at any point.

So now I’m listening to 60s space/tiki/lounge/rock on Flight 20 and it’s pure awesome.

oh lordy, mockingbirds and crows have GREAT fights! Crows may be my favorite bird. They are wicked smart and funny as hell. We used to watch them pick on the squirrels just for the hell of it. The squirrels used the fence as a highway and a crow would land in front of a squirrel, the squirrel would turn around and a 2nd crow would land in his way in that direction. They also learned to recognize me when I was feeding the birds. They’d fly down and ‘talk’ to me. They can be quite friendly. West Nile wiped out almost the entire colony and then developers cut down their trees to build new houses. I miss them dearly.

BREAKING: US State Dept officials in Central Asian and Middle Eastern countries are blocking private rescue flights from landing there with evacuees from Afghanistan, per veteran members, even after countries have privately agreed to take the evacuees
https://twitter.com/JackPosobiec/status/1434691759842504706
FIRST ON FOX: Americans engaged in the rescue of U.S. citizens, SIVs and green card holders left behind by President Biden in Afghanistan are horrified by what they describe as inexplicable delays from the State Department that are preventing evacuation flights from leaving the country.
The State Department’s delays are recklessly endangering American lives, three different individuals involved in the private evacuation effort told Fox News.
Rick Clay, who runs the private rescue group PlanB, told Fox News that the State Department is the only thing preventing the flights he’s organizing from leaving Afghanistan.
Two other American individuals separately involved in evacuation efforts, whom Fox News is not naming to avoid jeopardizing ongoing rescue efforts, similarly said that the State Department is the sole entity preventing their charter flights from leaving Afghanistan.
“This is zero place to be negotiating with American lives. Those are our people standing on the tarmac and all it takes is a f****ing phone call,” one of those individuals, who has been integral to private evacuation efforts from Afghanistan, told Fox News.
“If one life is lost as a result of this, the blood is on the White House’s hands. The blood is on their hands,” that individual said, adding: “It is not the Taliban that is holding this up – as much as it sickens me to say that – it is the United States government.”
That individual suggested that the State Department’s obstruction is motivated in part by embarrassment that private individuals are rescuing Americans that the U.S. government left behind.
Military command over Al Udeid Air Base in Doha, Qatar, have informed those seeking clearance to land that they must first go through the State Department to gain approval, an email reviewed by Fox News shows.
Clay has a manifest of 4,500 names of U.S. citizens, green card holders, SIVs and refugees trying to get state-side. So far, they’ve given the State Department 800 names for a first round of flights. Fox News has reviewed that manifest, which confirms Clay’s account.

I reviewed all of McElyea’s quotes, and he doesn’t actually connect hospital overcrowding and ivermectin overdoses. As far as I can tell, this spin is supplied entirely by the local journalist, Katelyn Ogle (who did not respond to a request for comment).
Did I post this already?
The State Department says there is little it can do to help Americans and at-risk Afghans whose planes are reportedly grounded at an airport as the Taliban prevents them from leaving the country.
.
.
“We do not have personnel on the ground, we do not have air assets in the country, we do not control the airspace—whether over Afghanistan or elsewhere in the region,” a State Department spokesman told the Washington Free Beacon. “We understand the concern that many people are feeling as they try to facilitate further charter and other passage out of Afghanistan.”

WaPo has an opinion piece by Virginia Gov Blackface on how proud Virginia is to be home to ‘our new Afghan allies’. It’s behind a paywall and won’t even let me link, but file under “in the nick of time…”. No idea how many they’ll be taking in but follow the $$$
In the news division (front page headline) there is this “People said the Covid vaccine affected their periods. Now more than $1.6 million will go into researching it”.
Let me parse that. First, ‘periods’ is WAY to narrow a term. Post-menopausal women reported it, miscarriages were reported and at least one nursing baby has died from hemorrhaging (found on freerepublic somewhere). Naomi Klein, who I normally scoff at, has been at the forefront of this and been banging the drum for months.
And $1.6 million is pocket lint money, pays for the copier paper and toner for 3 months.

I had to think about that a while. It is entirely part of the original nature of people to want to see vengeance exacted on those who offend us and do wrong such as Fauci has done. It is not that Christians don’t want to see vengeance but that we also understand that we are equally guilty of wrongdoing that makes us equally deserving of eternal punishment but have been spared that only by the Grace of God through the forgiveness given by Christ’s sacrifice. To desire and want vengeance and the wrongness of doing so is illustrated by the parable of the unjust servant, who, after being forgiven by his master for a huge debt that he would never be able to repay, even after he and his family would be sold into slavery, then went out and found a fellow servant who owed him a pittance and demanded payment, putting that person in jail until the small debt was paid. As Christians, we know that we have been forgiven a debt greater than any of our fellow humans could owe against us, so wanting vengeance is to despise the forgiveness we have been given.
Now, that does not mean we don’t want to see justice done or consequences for actions that harm others. Government is put in place to make sure people can lead peaceful and quiet lives. Fauci’s actions are deserving of prosecution and consequences for the evil he has been responsible for promulgating on society. That he is praised by the very Government that is supposed to be guarding the lives and livelihood of its citizens is maddening.
… and yes, I often err by expressing the desire for vengeance on those who are destroying our society and the blessings of a free and open society with so many opportunities. That does not redound to my glory when I do that, but is reflective of how the original nature of sinful humans can come to the forefront.

Afghan Rescue SITREP
Just off phone with Rick Clay. Rick is okay that I use his name. Rick Clay and team still have aircraft ready. Recall that Rick’s team had 3x jets at Kabul on 30 August. Rick believes his group has enough funding for 1 airliner flight per day. DoS is only problem. To be clear, and to restate: The problem is NOT Taliban, but US Department of State. Rick said his sources at [elided] saying Kabul Airport is mined now, and also Iranians may have emplaced surface to air missiles around Kabul airport to prevent our retaking airport. Why is this SITREP not secret? Because our best chance of getting Americans out is through Biden’s allies, the Taliban, and not through Biden. Department of State is the problem. US military is the problem. Taliban are just normal jihadists with suicide vests

World’s Largest Nitrogen Plant Declares “Force Majeure,” Sends Fertilizer Prices Sky High
Spot prices for nitrogen fertilizer on the US Gulf Coast skyrocketed to a near-decade high on a report the world’s largest nitrogen manufacturing plant declared force majeure.
CF Industries Holdings Inc. in Donaldsonville, Louisiana, closed its massive complex ahead of Hurricane Ida. The complex has 19 plants, including six ammonia and five urea facilities, producing nitrogen-based products for agricultural and industrial markets.
According to the letter seen by Bloomberg, CF Industries said, “due to these circumstances, CF Industries Sales, LLC has declared an event of force majeure affecting the production and shipment of product from the CF Donaldsonville, LA nitrogen complex.”
The letter was dated Sept. 3, and at that time, the facility remained closed. This stoked fears of production declines at a time when supplies are already tight.
As a result of the force majeure, US Gulf urea nitrogen fertilizer spot prices spiked 16.5%, according to Green Markets data.

It goes without saying that when the history of the Covid pandemic is written, “we’re all in this together” will be remembered with all the irony of the slogan “freedom is slavery” from George Orwell’s 1984.
Only in Australia’s case, we are told repeatedly that instead of slavery, freedom equals death, by a health bureaucracy that for the moment has the whip hand.
Just ask the residents of Common Ground, a social housing estate in Camperdown where residents are locked in their apartments after four residents tested positive to Covid-19.
To add insult to indignity, officials are searching care packages sent to them to make sure they don’t contain too much of the demon alcohol.
If someone sends them more than a six pack a day or a bottle of wine, it’s tipped down the gutter.
The policy is, as with all such policies, for the residents’ own good — “to ensure the safety of health staff and residents”, an official said, adding the same rules apply to other apartment complexes similarly locked down across the city.

More on Afghans in NoVA hospitals
An influx of refugees is straining Northern Virginia to the point that native-born Americans are being turned away from a local hospital.
“A hospital near the Dulles Expo Center that federal officials designated as a go-to spot for medical treatment began running out of available beds, forcing the hospital to turn away non-Afghan patients who weren’t in need of critical care,” The Washington Post reported.
The hospital is treating Afghans who have been transported by the planeload to Dulles Airport outside D.C. following the U.S. withdrawal and Taliban control of the country.
.
.
Despite the existing load already straining the system, J. Stephen Jones, a hospital executive, told The Post that several dozen more planes full of Afghans are scheduled to arrive at Dulles airport this week.

Shortages of nearly everything, with labor-related shortages being the most prominent. These shortages “restrained” growth, and companies were “unable to meet demand” because of these shortages. Here are some standouts:

The case is NAACP v. Moore and the state Supreme Court’s Democrats are trying to remove two Republican members from the bench, so a new temporary four-to-one Democrat majority can erase two constitutional amendments – the cap on income tax, and the voter I.D. requirement – which were overwhelmingly passed by more than four million votes.

I’ll probably do that. I limit videos to Saturdays, but this Saturday is the anniversary of the 9-11 attacks so I’m going to do something else instead.

2013 breakdown of federal employees, but the font’s too small for me to read easily.

@ Bunk X:
lol
Table 9 was Rose’s place.
@ Bunk X:
The USPS is part of the exec branch, employees must follow federal rules.
If I had to guess, a significant portion of the unvaxxed are going to be lost to the work force, willingly or no. Then tell me about labor shortages.
I heard that McConnell is coming out telling the unvaxxed they’re a problem.
taxes on stock trades? oh, yeah, that will do wonders for your donor class
@ AZfederalist:
Probably the best retelling of that parable I have read. It never stuck on me in church.

I haven’t forgotten your post, today was Holly Homemaker day and this house is not as small as I thought.
I’m out to read. nite.
@ eaglesoars:
Bunks video above was a good look at this fear mongering Totalitarianism.
Biden is probably worried about postal workers going postal. This pandemic is mostly an easy one. The mass hysteria seems insane.

It absolutely is insane. … and I can speak from direct experience. Yeah, it’s not a fun disease and I have a lingering cough. But that happens to me whenever I catch a cold. My 95+ year old Dad had it and was in the hospital for resulting pneumonia but is now back home and doing better, our son had it and is now back at work; guy in his workgroup with the worst symptoms was fully vaccinated and works out all the time. Multiple relatives have had it and all have recovered. I know others have not been as fortunate, but the number is relatively small to the point one has to question the hysteria surrounding it.

Most of the actions mandated to prevent the spread actually prolong the life of the local epidemic. It should have burned itself out by now, but that’s just my opinion. No one seems to factor in the social effects either – suicides, loss of income, business closures, drug/alcohol addiction, etc.
Bunk X wrote:
The marxist totalitarians have absolutely factored in all of those effects. It’s all part of the quiet revolution. It’s no coincidence this is happening worldwide right now. They saw their chance and jumped at it. The question is how long are we going to allow it to continue in this country, I have written off the rest of the world already.

I have serious doubts that only 80 million Americans are unvaccinated, but fair enough; if that’s your number, okay then. However, consider this…. Assuming we are the minority group, the non-vaxxed crew breaks down into two broad segments: (1) The extremely well-educated who carry commonsense and are in a social strata where they remain quiet about it; and (2) The skeptical productive class of similarly disposed commonsense blue-collar workers who are the backbone of American productivity.
The comfortable existence for the rest of “polite society” is dependent on the scruffneck working class, the dirty fingernail folk who know what Lava soap feels like, and the industrious service sector workforce who fulfill the needs of those who hold out their pinky fingers when they drink from a glass.
If this non-vaccinated ‘minority group’ stops fulfilling the needs of the vaccinated ‘betters’, guess what happens?
Additionally, if the non-vaccinated minority begin following the COVID rules with extreme compliance, the entire system doesn’t function. Whoops, I cannot enter a federal property because I am not vaccinated {{{shrugs shoulders}}}. Okay, I’ll leave the pizzas on the sidewalk, enjoy.
The ramifications of extreme compliance are very far-reaching,

I wonder what this will do to the military retention numbers. I haven’t seen any commentary on that, but I’m sure people are watching.
Morning!

So this is what I’ve found about what happened during the mandated anthrax vax.
According to the GAO report:
“According to our survey, between September 1998 and September 2000, when AVIP was mandatory, about 16 percent of the guard and reserve pilots and aircrew members had transferred to another unit (primarily to non-flying positions), moved to inactive status, or left the military altogether. In addition, 18 percent of those still participating in units indicated their intention to transfer, move, or leave in the near future. About one-fifth of those who had already left did so knowingly before qualifying for military retirement.’”
The pending loss of pilots was undeniable. According to the report, 69% of those pilots who changed their status ranked the anthrax vaccine as the main factor, and 72% of those pilots who planned to leave the military ranked the anthrax vaccine as the main factor.

Absolutely. One of the worst things that can happen to any team is when one or more of the team members engage in what is termed “malicious compliance”. This is the act of knowing and following all rules, processes, and policies that the company has in place to the last dotted “i” and crossed “t”. That kind of compliance brings program progress to a near stand-still.
