NCAA Football, Week 5 2021 OPEN THREAD

Filed under College Football, Open thread at October 2nd, 2021 - 12:34 am

It’s an open thread, discuss what yinz like.

WOOOT! 3/3 last week! so we are at 14/19 $1900/$1000. 90% ROI! But again, I would never bet real money on a bunch of amateur college boys.

That said, let’s look at some games for this week. It’s shakeout week, a lot of unbeatens are playing each other.

#8 Arkansas at #2 Georgia 12:00 PM ESPN: The Razorbacks….SUUUUUUUEEEEEEEEEEEE…PIG! were my big pick to upset TAMU last week. They did not disappoint. But, jeeze…they are at the Georgia Bulldogs who are playing damn near perfect ball. Hogs ended up with some key injuries tho. The line is 16.5 points given by the Bulldogs. The line started at 19 and the money went on the pigs there after and I’m stuck with this one. Given the trend, I’ll say the Razorbacks cover, but I’m not in love with this pick.

#14 Michigan at Wisconsin 12:00 PM FOX: Look, It’s put up or shut up time for M. M has to win this game, period. Yes, they are undefeated, BUT…W has stomped them the last two times out and still has a top 5 defense. W is giving 2 at home and M hasn’t played anyone of standing yet. I can easily see W beating this spread.

Pittsburgh at Georgia Tech 12:00 PM ACCN: If Miami had the same record as Pitt, they would be ranked #12 or higher. This game always cracks me up, GT and PITT are the same school in different cities! The vibe is so similar. GT is the 3 point favorite and my Beloved Panthers do not cover.

Duke at North Carolina 12:00 PM ESPN2: HA!!! It’s not Basketball season yet!

#7 Cincinnati at #9 Notre Dame 2:30 PM NBC: The heathens from Cinci and their devil-creation Skyline Chili will be at the Humble and Godly Catholic Men of Notre Dame. Like them or not, ND almost always has the toughest schedule and is always in the spotlight because of that. Kelly just passed St Rockne for most wins @ ND. The line is Cinci GIVING 2 at The Golden Dome. Oh, hell no, wake up the echoes, ND covers! Nope, Cinci covers.

#12 Ole Miss at #1 Alabama 3:30 PM CBS: OK, Alabama has to actually play some one. God love Ole Miss an this is why the spread matters. Alabama is giving 16.5. I do think that Ole Miss can cover.

Indiana at #4 Penn State 7:30 PM ABC: IU has ruined PSU twice in recent years. PSU is a 12.5 favorite and will beat this spread at home. Pay Back Time.

Arizona State at #20 UCLA 10:30 PM FS1: This might be the best game of the day. The Sun Devils are Giving 3 and UCLA covers at home.

***UGH…2/7 -$500, so we are at 18/23 $1400/$1000. 40% ROI…it was 90 🙁 ***

    She came back stronger than ever after the lockdowns. New band, new album. She’s playing and singing better then ever.

    She must have spent too much time below sea level at home in New Orleans, though. She had a small oxygen cylinder next to her water during both sets at Telluride that she used a couple of times. 8750 feet can be rough on people who aren’t used to it.

    Got a little hypoxic at 14,000 . Thought I could rule the world. 🙂

    At 40,000 + used a pressurised tight fitting mask that pumped pressurised O2 into your lungs. You just had to contemplate breathing and wham you had a lung full of O2. You had 10 seconds of useful consciousness above 40,000 feet. After that you couldn’t actually get your hands organised to get the mask onto your face. When another crew member had to use the head, the flying pilot had to already be breathing pressurised O2.

    Great for hangovers too!

    Try outclimbing a tropical Cb when you had no option but to look for a crack in the wall to slip through. I gave up looking when I reached 14,000 feet. I was feeling fiiiine however!
    HEH!

    After corkscrewing down what I thought was the right ridge my brain started to operate again at 8,000 feet and my sphinctre muscle began to spasm when I knew that I was in serious trouble! Strange feeling. I didn’t shit myself but my sphinctre was trying hard anyway. Pure luck I saw the real ridge and dived through a hole and nap of the earthed it from there. Engine kept running for 30 minutes after I was fuel zero. Yup I believe in Devine intervention. Landed on the coast downwind 30 knots because I needed to LAND . Engine cut out all by itself and I rolled to a stop outside my hangar.

    Not my day to die obviously.

    I live at 6500 feet, so it doesn’t bother me too much unless I’m exerting myself. I found myself short of breath a couple times in Telluride after walking across town, though.

    Despite the violent crackdown, the massive protests have persisted for weeks and more people keep showing up. The crowds are so large that the Australian authorities are pressuring the government to issue no-fly zones over the areas with the most people in order to blackout the media.

    That was last week’s news. A court told the Victoria Police to take a hike, and CASA was let off the hook for trying to enforce an illegal issue.

    Keep your ears up for something called the Pandora Papers.

    The Pandora Papers is a leak of almost 12 million documents that reveals hidden wealth, tax avoidance and, in some cases, money laundering by some of the world’s rich and powerful.

    More than 600 journalists in 117 countries have been trawling through the files from 14 sources for months, finding stories that are being published this week.

    The data was obtained by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) in Washington DC, which has been working with more than 140 media organisations on the biggest ever global investigation.

    The Pandora Papers leak includes 6.4 million documents, almost three million images, more than a million emails and almost half-a-million spreadsheets.

    The files expose how some of the most powerful people in the world – including more than 330 politicians from 90 countries – use secret offshore companies to hide their wealth.

    should be fun

    I’m told by the reporting team this is the biggest offshore-finance leak—and journalistic collaboration—*ever.*

    They expose the intentionally concealed finances of 35 world leaders and 300+ other public officials in 90+ countries.

    …and they aren’t finished.

    Power Outages Hitting Most of China’s Provinces

    China power problems are affecting 20 out of China’s 34 provinces. Cement production has been reduced by 29% and aluminum production capacity has been reduced 7%. Heavy industry has seen the most cutbacks.

    Coal prices are up but China’s utilities have energy price controls. There were quotas on coal mining. Coal mining quotas have been lifted as of last week.

    The rolling blackout and other power shutoff is also hitting hospitals and street lights. The power shutoffs are very broad and the facts do not align with various excuses and stories coming from China.

    China’s leadership has not been on top of the power shortage problem and has been months behind on reacting to the power emergency.

    The shortage of hydroelectricity is dues to a widespread drought which has caused 30% less hydroelectric power generation.

    The coal mining quotas were lifted last week. We will see if lifting the limits on production can fix the power shortage.

    The coal mining quotas have been lifted to combat the power shortage.

    China seems to have a coal shortage that is beyond what is fixable byv increasing imports.

    With Australian thermal coal now off the market after Xi scored a home goal by telling Australia to shove their thermal exports. So Australia did exactly that and found other diversified export destinations. Indonesia is the major supplier to China for thermal coals even if they are wet lower BTU exports that still cost an arm and a leg.
    Why Indonesia hasn’t ramped up production of thermal coal is anybody’s guess but it sure smells like Indonesia is snubbing China over the South China Sea.

    Either way Guangdong production is on a 3-4 day production week, whilst in Northern China with winter coming on there are already brownouts as electricity rationing kicks in and industrial production drops.

    For some reason all of the coal mines in Hunan, the core Chinese coal production region, have been closed for safety reasons. Why now when the Chinese have accepted 10,000 dead in Chinese coal mines annually, due to slack safety standards.

    The Victorian State Labor politicians including the Comrade Premier Dan Andrews tried to bully huge numbers of protesters demonstrating against their loss of civil rights. The Fascist Vicroria Police tried to get the CASA (Civil Aviation and Safety Administration to ban overflights filming Police malfeasance during the demonstrations. A FEDERAL judge told both the Victorian State government and especially the Victoria Police to take a hike. There would be no restriction on the press helicopters covering the riots, and freedom of information was paramount. CASA is a FEDERALLY controlled agency and the States have no ability to control it.

    Lockdown is OK here. Where I am on the Coromandel Peninsular we are only in Level #2. The poor buggers in Auckland are STILL locked down in Level #3 and there has been a bit of minor leakage out of Auckland’s southern boundaries into the City of Hamilton and the township of Raglan. The roads south and all of the hamlets and small towns have inherited Auckland’s Level #3 woes. All for the sake of one truck driver and a couple of family members who sneaked past the lockdown and took the infection with them.

    Here in Ngarimu Bay life is still pretty damn good. Pretty normal shopping (masked if you go inside a business) but otherwise just normal business as usual. This obsession with eradication lockdowns is getting ‘very old’ and the folks have had enough. The push is for 80% inoculations with both doses after which there will be a slow opening up. Scheduled for the third week in October.

    I’m resisting ALL inoculations until I get access to the French Valneva shots, that do not have any spike protein and m-RNA technology attached to them. That should happen in November. There is a huge push on in Australia to use monoclonal anti-body theraputics for infected people, who nominally need hospitalization. That should reduce admissions by 75% and mirror the numbers for normal annual flu admissions.

    Looks as if by midsummer/ Christmas Oz will be back to normal and Covid-19 will just be treated as another flu to be treated every year by the usual pre-winter flu shot for the elderly.

    I’ve been getting some valuable and nuanced comments from my middle brother who knows everything there is to know about coal mining. He’s managing two high tech mining operations south of Sydney in the Bulli coal seam that stretches for 40 miles under the Southern Ranges. He did his BE (Mining) and ME (also mining) and a BScTech plus 3/4 of a doctorate and had lectured in Mining technology at the Uni of Queensland for years while also running their mining research lab and associated mine. All at a time when Australian mining was a difficult degree to pass, and also involved a LOT of practical training. Unlike now where standards are about former Diploma standard for a nominal 4 year Bachelors undergraduate degree.

    Why the world hasn’t treated Islam the same as the Brits treated the Cult of Khali is mind boggling. The adherents are simply savages who will, given the opportunity, kill and/or enslave anyone, including those of their own cult. They are not a culture, they are cold-hearted killers.

    Fauci: ‘Too Soon to Tell’ If Americans Can Get Together for Christmas

    Biden administration COVID-19 adviser Dr.Anthony Fauci said on Oct. 3 that it’s not clear if Americans should have Christmas gatherings because of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus pandemic.

    Fauci was asked during a CBS News interview about whether Americans can gather for Christmas, and he replied that it’s “too soon to tell.”

    “We have to concentrate on continuing to get those numbers down and not try to jump ahead by weeks or months and say what we’re going to do at a particular time,” he said. “Let’s focus like a laser on continuing to get those cases down. And we can do it by people getting vaccinated. Also, in the situation where boosters are appropriate to get people boosted because we know they can help greatly in diminishing infection and diminishing advanced disease.”

    Because the Brits had ZERO ‘guilt’ about their power or doubts about their culture.

    Americans have been brainwashed into guilt about our power via the so-called ‘original sin’ of slavery – which is rife in the Bible, thru just about every civilization known – straight into cultural schizophrenia that permits bullshit like surgically mutilating our children so they can believe they’re another gender.

    Western colonization of relatively primitive societies has been a gift to the world and the Judeo-Christian ethos has done more for the freedom of humanity than medicine. So. There.

    Here’s a Fortis analysis of China

    https://fortisanalysis.substack.com/p/coal-for-christmas

    Because Xi was so determined to sanction Aussie Thermal coal, Australia actually believed him, and went out and found other buyers, and signed long term contracts. Having shot himself in the foot Xi now looks to roll back the Aussie restrictions. Too late mate! Don’t forget Xi that Australia has the power to totally wreck the Chinese economy by simply stopping all Iron Ore supply, or simply place a 500% tariff on ore exports to China. There are NO OTHER FUNCTIONAL ALTERNATIVED for China other that Aussie Iron ore. Zero capability from Brazil and nothing from Africa , a fact that terrifies Chinese Mandarines, and elites

    As far as Brazil, South Africa or even the US

    Why the world hasn’t treated Islam the same as the Brits treated the Cult of Khali is mind boggling. The adherents are simply savages who will, given the opportunity, kill and/or enslave anyone, including those of their own cult.

    A brilliant observation

    As Lord Napier told Indians who wanted to use Sirtee (widow burning alive). He simply said .. ” you follow your culture and build your fires. We will follow our culture and erect gallows and hang anyone committing Surtee.

    Similarly the British simply shot out all of the cult of Khali. When they ran out of follows of Khali the practice stopped!

    no way to confirm, so FWIW

    A nurse said in southern Australia they ARE treating the sick with IVM – but only if vaxed. The “unvaxed” are put on vents. Think what this would do to the stats. It keeps the latest lie in place that the vax stops “serious” symptoms and death. Would not surprise me if true.

    What have I been saying?

    Marek’s disease in chickens was the first time the phenomenon of a leaky vaccine, and its effect on viral mutation, demonstrated that the vaccinated can be dangerous to the unvaccinated

    There is a theoretical expectation that some types of vaccines could prompt the evolution of more virulent (“hotter”) pathogens. This idea follows from the notion that natural selection removes pathogen strains that are so “hot” that they kill their hosts and, therefore, themselves. Vaccines that let the hosts survive but do not prevent the spread of the pathogen relax this selection, allowing the evolution of hotter pathogens to occur. This type of vaccine is often called a leaky vaccine. When vaccines prevent transmission, as is the case for nearly all vaccines used in humans, this type of evolution towards increased virulence is blocked. But when vaccines leak, allowing at least some pathogen transmission, they could create the ecological conditions that would allow hot strains to emerge and persist. This theory proved highly controversial when it was first proposed over a decade ago, but here we report experiments with Marek’s disease virus in poultry that show that modern commercial leaky vaccines can have precisely this effect: they allow the onward transmission of strains otherwise too lethal to persist. Thus, the use of leaky vaccines can facilitate the evolution of pathogen strains that put unvaccinated hosts at greater risk of severe disease. The future challenge is to identify whether there are other types of vaccines used in animals and humans that might also generate these evolutionary risks.

    https://journals.plos.org/plosbiology/article?id=10.1371/journal.pbio.1002198

    Nextstrain has been monitoring mutations globally. The red line in the graph below shows when the United States had vaccinated approximately 100 million Americans using the two mRNA vaccines primarily. It proceeds through the present, when almost 215 million Americans have received vaccines. Vaccination rates in much of Europe rose at rates similar to or faster than the U.S. during that period. Simply ask yourself, if each dot represents a mutation, when did the number for several of the common clades, like Delta, Gamma, and Alpha, explode?

    This is serious but not that serious. Mere sabre rattling. Better to laugh in their faces and tell them that Taipei’s ADA theoretically ‘shot down’ 40 of the interlopers …. even if they didn’t. Staging repetitive simulated attack exercises is a tactic to mask a real mounting of a future attack. That isn’t going to happen in this instance because the sea state that would allow an attack is right in the middle of the current vulnerable window of opportunity. If the CCP tanks were rolling up the beaches of Taiwan right now then I would believe it. …. but they’re NOT. Organizing a major amphibious assault takes about 6 weeks to get into place and we’ve NOT seen that, and we certainly would have because you just can’t hide that from intelligence gathering assets. The next weather opening for cross Straite’s attack won’t happen until March / April 2022, at the earliest, and we should be seeing a force buildup from mid January 2022 at the earliest…. or Late Sept / Oct 2022 … or Mar / Apr 2023 … etc

    He still had his farm and his kids however and they got along fantastically and finally he got back onto his feet financially.

    So a day or so ago I found this twitter account that invests like Nancy Pelosi. Here’s the background (and yes, I’ll subscribe to the newsletter)

    https://www.alphaletter.co/p/invest-in-stocks-like-nancy-pelosi-ded

    As a background of myself, I am a former hedge fund guy. I worked on the buyside for over five years trying to find the best investments with the highest “alpha” for my partners.

    I have looked at thousands of different investments. Met with hundreds of management teams. And have toured countless facilities.

    My specialty is investing in the most illiquid, inefficient and hated companies on Wall Street. I love buying companies at multi-decade lows. I love no growth “melting ice cube” value investments. And I love to buy stock alongside company insiders.

    Buying stock alongside company insiders? Is that like insider trading? Like what Nancy Pelosi is doing?

    Not really, but it can be just as profitable.

    Here’s the thing. Whenever an executive of a company buys or sells stock, it has to be reported with the SEC through a Form 4.

    From 4’s are public filings and astute investors can see, almost in real time, when an insider is buying or selling stock.

    Tracking these insider trades is one of my favorite ways to make money in the public markets. It’s like getting free deep insider knowledge.

    When an insider sells a stock it could be for a variety of reasons: medical bills, new house, discretionary expense, etc.

    But when an insider buys a stock it only means one thing: they expect the share price to go higher.

    1.5 “Energy” obtained special statements explaining that what was reported by the Western media about a Chinese official that the Chinese government had ordered major energy companies to secure the necessary supplies for the winter “at any price” resulted from translation problems and taking the subject out of context, and that the word “price” does not mean “the price”

    2.5 What is meant is to secure energy supplies by ignoring US sanctions imposed on some energy exporting countries, or any sanctions against Chinese companies.

    3-5 It is intended that Chinese coal mines will continue to produce even if small accidents occur, rather than closing them as usual.

    4-5 It is intended to ignore some of the obstacles that prevent the return of importing coal from Australia because China needs coal, and negotiations are currently underway to import coal from Australia.

    5.5 “Price” in the declaration does not mean “price”. The prices of various energy sources are still of interest to officials, and they still play a role in their decisions.

    I think that ‘price’ is not used in the classic econ sense of ‘signal’ but ‘political cost’. I found it interesting due to the Aussie aspect.

    Our engineering teams have learned that configuration changes on the backbone routers that coordinate network traffic between our data centers caused issues that interrupted this communication. This disruption to network traffic had a cascading effect on the way our data centers communicate, bringing our services to a halt.

    This is all about FEDERALIZING US Law Enforcement. Having a diversified Police Force at Local, Regional, State and Federal levels makes it almost impossible for the communists to capture it intact. The March Through the Institutions so beloved of Alinski can’t handle complex organizational structures.

    Hence the push to Federalize Police forces. The DoD was a total pushover for the communist left as it was top down organized. All the left had to do was infiltrate the Comand side of the Pentagon and the operational side would be forced by law to comply with fascist left orders.

    Australia certainly does have leverage but its hands have been partially tied because Chinese sanctions against Oz forced the necessary diverification of markets. That has been needed for years… Thank you China for that home goal…..

    Oz doesn’t have a huge reliance on air conditioning as the US does. Hence there is not a huge power spike during the summer. Mostly people just open a window!

    The rise and rise of Iron ore prices has effectively ‘paid for’ all of the Chinese sanctions on the Australian economy. Even with the fall from $180 a tonne back to a more sustainable $90 a tonne Oz is STILL creaming it. Australia iron ore producers can make mucho $$$$ at $60 a tonne. What I’d love to see is a 500% tariff on Iron ore shipments to China. That would bankrupt the whole Chinese economy , shut down industrial production and cause massed starvation.

Apparently the 10,000 dead Chinese coal miners who die annually because of terrible safety regulation, brought this on. I don’t believe it for a second !

I see a lot of words, “like Nancy Pelosi”, “The Nancy Pelosi Playbook”, but he spends the rest of it telling how he watches the insider trading disclosures from companies, particularly those in distress (these used to be referred to as penny stocks, or widow and orphan stocks). Let us know what you find out in his newsletter. As I said above, if he really has found how to find out what the congress critters are investing in, that would likely be a very profitable investing technique. Since the first newsletter is free, you aren’t out anything, so it’s worth checking out.

    I was just offered a position at one of our other facilities that way, but it’s a $10,000 pay cut. No relocation package, and it’s in a place with basically no housing available. I’d have to commute 40 miles or more each way from Albuquerque.

    @ AZfederalist:

    This move was 100% about money. The company figured out a way to run the facility without having to pay staff, by leasing it to the state. It’s the opposite of what we do at some places, where we provide staff under contract at government-owned facilities. As far as I know, this is a first.

    The best part is that they made the announcement at the tail end of the conference call where they congratulated us on passing our ACA accreditation with a near-perfect score. “Great job. Oh, by the way, you’re all fired.”

    Psycho Puppy got out the front door and headed for Kentucky. No collar (she is chipped)

    A handyman, Wyatt, had come to the door, she went between my legs and headed down the street. Both of us chasing her. Fortunately, Wyatt is about 22 years old and can actually run. When she paused to sniff something, he picked up a rock and held it out to her. COOKIE! He picked her up and carried her back, she screamed the entire time. You would have thought he was trying to kill her. Then I see WILLOW has decided to meander out to see if she could get away with it too. She took one look at my face and decided NOPE. Back to the house.

    Now that’s Mia has a taste of freedom and knows Mum can’t do a damn thing about it, she no longer comes when I call her in from the back yard.

    We start training w/a guy who has been trained by Casear Milan on Saturday. I hired him because she’s developing fence aggression

    What I’m telling you is, you’ve basically been eating butternut squash pie, squash bread, and drinking SQUASH FREAKING SPICE LATTES this entire time.

    Pumpkin is a variety of the squash family Cucurbita pepo. From what I remember when having a five acre farm NEVER plant seeds of the pumpkins, zucchini, summer squash etc that you harvested from your garden. The seeds will produce plants the next year that bear fruits that you were not expecting.

    The nature way however to minimize this cross pollination is the various squash flower at different times in the season.

    CW probably knows more about this with his heirloom tomatoes.

    Anyway the reason for this rambling. The pumpkin as we know it has a long growing season and thus is mature and harvestable for a very short window in late summer. Other squash are mature in early summer.

    If a can of ” Pumpkin ” was pure pumpkin the harvesting and canning process would be only a few weeks per year. Using all the various types of squash seasonally would mean the processing plants ( lol plants, Possum made a funny! ) that canned “pumpkin” could operate from spring to late fall.

    As pumpkin, or any squash, does not taste of anything at all on its own then what is actually in the can does not matter as long at is one of the Cucurbita pepo family.

    The key to pumpkin pie filling is the other ingredients. The flavour, the spices added.

    One of the major ingredients is ginger. And now we get to the veterinarian aspect. Do veterinarians think pumpkin alleviates upset tummies in animals or…

    Is pumpkin pie filling a sneaky way to feed an animal ginger?

    I think it is.

    @ Possum:
    LOL so I looked on amazon for pumpkin pie mix and there now seems to be a lot of 100% pure pumpkin ones. No spices.

    So, I can’t see the point of feeding 100% pure pumpkin to a dog unless you like picking up runny orange shit.

    I still stand by my assertion that feeding a dog the pre spiced ready to bake pie mix may have a beneficial effect on an animal with a digestive upset.

    However I am a cat person and I know attempting to feed ANYTHING resembling a pumpkin, a squash or other fruit will result in severe trauma to myself.

    Grapes are the exception. They make awesome cat toys.

    They are one of the foods you HAVE to eat.

    If pumpkin pie is so awesome why don’t Americans eat it all year round. Pumpkins are canned, nobody makes pie from a fresh pumpkin.

    Like pumpkin spiced latte or beer.

    Same with corned beef and cabbage. Americans go nuts about eating it around the 17th March but the rest of the year it is non-existent.

    As for me, I quite like corned beef and am annoyed I cannot get it all year round. I also like cabbage.

    I get my “cabbage” fix by eating Brussels Sprouts, which incidentally I am eating at the moment. Brussels sprouts, carrots, Italian sausage in an alfredo sauce with mash.

    Typical English food LOL

    Department of Justice is committing the full weight of its federal law enforcement resourcesto prevent parents from exercising constitutionally-protected rights and privileges, for inappropriate partisan purposes. Our understanding of thefacts is as follows:

    • Parents nationwide have protested public school policies and practices associated with, inter alia, the teaching or indoctrination of K-12 students in certain principles of Critical Race Theory and gender-related ideology.

    • Key Biden Administration stakeholders, including the National Education Association, the American Federation of Teachers, and others, have combined to oppress, threaten, and intimidate parents to chill and prevent them from exercising the rights or privileges secured by the Constitution. To date these efforts, though extensive,have generally proven ineffectual.

    • In early September, Biden Administration stakeholders held discussions regarding avenues for potential federal action against parents with a key Biden Domestic Policy Council official (Jane Doe #1)and White House staff (John Doe #1). Stakeholders also held discussions with senior department officials, including at least one political appointee in the department’s Civil Rights Division (Jane Doe #2). Jane Doe #1, John Doe #1,and others in the White House separately expressed concern regarding the potential partisan political impact of parent mobilization and organization around school issues in the upcoming midterm elections.

    • Upon information and belief, at the express direction of or with the express consent of Jane Doe #1, Jane Doe #2 and other Biden Administration officials developed a plan to use a letter from an outside group (“not the usual suspects”) as pretext for federal action to chill, deter,and discourage parents from exercising their constitutional rights and privileges.

    I made the mistake of following Google Maps suggestion for a shorter route coming home, and it took me down some narrow dirt road with no place to turn around. I came up over a rise and hit a big hole with the driver’s side trailer wheel. Caught it just right so it bent the axle.

    Bannon got a subpoena and told the committee since Trump had claimed exec privilege, he’d wait to see how that resolved before he’d respond to his subpoena.

    This is what communists do – re-define the meaning of words. This is more and more frighteningly like pre-Bolshevik Russia.

    to a point, yes. Except now a lot of us are educated about it.

    Example. The trans community just tried to cancel Dave Chapelle for something he said in a Netflix thing, I don’t know what. At his next performance 18k people gave him a standing ovation. People are getting a clue

    Oh ffs. Can ANY of these people NOT total the boat? They crash into inanimate objects in the middle of the effing OCEAN

    From USNI comments:

    if it were a geographic undersea feature,a fixed object,passive sonar would not detect it. Passive sonar only detects noise-making things and our subs do not use active sonar except under certain circumstances,because that noise would allow the sub to be tracked.

    […]

    USO. Underwater aliens

    […]

    A submarine is like a blind man. It cannot “see” under water. To check if there is an object on its way, it has to use active sonar (like radar, but send a sound signal) to check. However, this is like yelling so others would know you are there.

    Too many think that a submarine has radar but the truth is radar doesn’t work under sea. Sea water is electrically conductive thus radar cannot work.

    A few years ago, a submarine hit a under water mountain off Californian coast because a new underwater volcano erupted and formed a underwater hill but Navy didn’t aware this.

    She opened with that song at the Musical Instrument Museum show in Phoenix back in 2017. That’s one where I prefer the version with the 6-piece band:

    It’s a great venue. It’s just like it sounds, a big museum, but it has an attached concert hall that seats about 300. Amazing acoustics.

    More on the Dave Chapelle story (and yeah, she is, shall we say, supremely unattractive)

    A white person was running Dear White People and is about to boycott the platform over a black comic. This was literally the point of his jokes.

    Awhile ago I relayed that as a retirement present one of Hubby’s clients gave us airline tickets to anywhere in the U.S. Hubby doesn’t want to travel, so where do I go? I decided Yellowstone. Next year. (Unless I have to be vaxed in which case fuck them). Anywhoo, this is why

    1 hr ago I think?

    The U.S. Court of Appeals 6th Circuit UNANIMOUSLY held that WMU violated their athletes’ First Amendment rights.

    All 16 athletes had filed for religious exemptions, which, according to the court, the university “ignored or denied.”
