    Rumors are flying.

    Harry and Meghan have split.

    We shall see.

    This is going to stay on the downlow until after the coronation of Charles. Because Harry wants back in and even HE is not stupid enough to try to overshadow that. Also, William doesn’t trust him as far as he can spit.

    Meghan is still trying to insinuate herself into the Getty family but they’ve got her number. However, there’s something in addition going on that I’m not understanding so I’ll leave it at that.

    The deck saga continues.

    We’re getting in touch with a lawyer on Monday. When we filed the dispuate with the cc company, he texted me and gave 24 hours to withdraw or he’d contact his lawyer because we were ‘making a false (fraud) claim to a bank for the purpose of financial gain’ and that he’d agreed to reimburse a certain amount (no, the only number he gave was $750 which isn’t even close to right). He then said ‘I have alreadyh adreed to give you the amount we both previously agreed to in these messages.’

    God, what a friggin nightmare.

    And that in my world would be something I many years ago would have developed.

    A clean the floor and carpet autonomous device that does the general cleaning of the dry stuff and when it detects a wet patch, or a pile of shit it sends co-ordinates to the other device that is specialised in mopping up piss, scooping up shit and vomit.

    Two machines working together without human interaction.

    Put them both in a home without pre programming a floor plan and given time they will build a map and be able to get where they need to get allby themselves.

    And now the fun part would be if any of the search engines would actually search for what I asked without suggesting what they thought I mean.

    Hey I have absolutly no problem with any agency exploding a toxic spill of a chemical to burn it off. Burn toxic shit at a high enough temperature and it ends up as its constituent parts and it is safe.

    This is hilarious. WaPo got 2 reporters to lie about Elon Musk.

    Keep in mind..Jeff Bezos owns WaPo and his space stuff isn’t going nearly as well as Elon’s. [Sidenote: Bezo’s main squeeze, Lauren somebody who looks like she hired a plastic surgeon straight out of Batman, is scheduled to launch in one of Bezo’s rocket thingys. If I were her, I wouldn’t be so confident. But then if I were her, I wouldn’t be hooking up with Bezos]

    Here’s the lie: Elon Musk had a fit at Twitter headquarters and forced engineers to rewrite the algorithm to ensure his tweets always were the first users could see.

    This is so obviously false, I don’t even know why they tried it.

    HF comms are going to be a bitch for the next month. This was exactly the scenario that came together during my first US to UK flight in a B-747. I was dropped in at the deep end by a skipper who was a sociopath and the rest of the crew consisted of another co-pilot who hadn’t flown the route for years plus an engineer who just sat on his hands and said zip. The perfect storm. The three crew were left to our own devices over the central states of the US and the skipper went to bed! We had zero HF communications due to the solar storm. By the time we got over central Canada we had tried every known VHF frequency including DEWline stations to see if we could get a telephone patch through the Canadian ATC to get our clearance from the East coast of Canada over Greenland. We were flying NAT Tracks which required VERY accurate navigation as the traffic was doubled the normal density to fit everyone in to the tracks.

    This arrogant piece of sociopathic shit (AKA the skipper) who was running this flight had loaded an extra 10 tonnes pf gas on in LAX because he just thought that there was a small chance of poor weather at London Heathrow. That had the effect of putting a ticking ‘time-bomb’ in our aircraft’s performance that stopped us climbing when we needed to climb before we got rid of Canada and picked up Iceland control. Did I say that the Canadian controlled couldn’t speak intelligible English but only HIGHLY ACCENTED French / English gobbledegook, which when combined with the solar interference made getting a clearance almost impossible.

    In the end all three of the crew independently heard and separately copied down a clearance that had a transposed word in ‘Frenchenglish’ amid terrible radio conditions that we repeated back to this French Canadian controller that he confirmed (mistakenly… that put our B-747 and the 300+ people down the back, at the same piece of stormy night sky as another B-747 coming the other way at the same height. We could have killed 650 people!

    I was the least experienced crew member and the only one who accepted full responsibility. In the resulting enquiry the Chief Pilot and the enquiry members disagreed and sent me back to LAX where I was posted with my family. As the Chief Check and Training Pilot opined to me as I left the enquiry room …. ‘There but for the grace of God go any of us!’ The sociopathic skipper did not fare quite so well! 🙂

    These type of incidents happen because a whole set of separate incidents and happenstances come together at the most inopportune time!

    We were lucky and I just threw that B-747 over into a 45 degree banked turn to get out of the way of another aircraft, that was just 30 seconds away, on the dark and stormy night, from impacting us, over the Canadian East coast near Gander.

    !!!!!

    There was an FAA closed enquiry that included a representative each from Canadian ATC, Air NZ and Lufthansa plus a member of FAA (North America). That happened over a period of a fortnight, whilst our crew were cooling our heels in Auckland, while our families remained ‘on posting’ in LA. Before then came the Internal Air NZ enquiry.That was the one where our fate was decided and the FAA enquiry was just a matter of crossing the Ts and dotting the Is!

    My, internal hearing (AKA Kangaroo Court) was done by the Chief Pilot, the B-747 Fleet Captain and the Airline’s Chief Check and Training Captain, as were the rest of the crew, one by one. We each had a (‘prisoner’s friend 🙂 from our Union) as a witness. The engineer gave his observations and departed. Then the senior Co-pilot and he didn’t contribute anything and apparently just sat there like a stunned mullet. Then I did my thing and left nothing out, and because I had it in my head that because I was sitting in the Left Hand seat then somehow I must be responsible for the whole thing. Not so said these three senior captains. I was thanked for being totally transparent and told to get back to LA that evening, take a few days off with my family and then get back to work!

    As I was departing and chatting to my Union Rep about ticketing back to LA, I heard the Chief Captain’s voice raised as he wiped the floor verbally with this particular sociopathic captain. I couldn’t help cracking just a tiny smile. That’s when the B-747 Chief & Training Captain walked past and smiled, told me to buck up and that ” There but for the grace of God goes any of us”, and shook my hand.

    Defense Department Scorched Online for Labeling Diversity Training a ‘Strategic Imperative’

    The Department of Defense (DoD) is attracting widespread criticism for a recent program that pushed diversity in the military as a “strategic imperative,” with some pointing out that the armed forces should do its job of protecting the country rather than focusing on “wokeness.”

    “Diversity is a strategic imperative critical to mission readiness and accomplishment. We were on site for the 2023 inaugural @DoD_ODEI Summit as DEIA experts led forums to advance the DEIA and DoD mission—because our people matter,” the department said in a Feb. 18 tweet.

    ODEI refers to the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. DEIA refers to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility. The Feb. 15-17 event featured “distinguished presenters and renowned experts in government, higher education, business, science, and technology.”

    The DoD’s promotion of diversity training attracted criticism online, with many ridiculing the program, while others raised concerns about military goals being compromised.

    “As Chairman of the Military Personnel Subcommittee, ensuring our military is focused on lethality and readiness, NOT wokeness and DEI, is my top priority,” Representative Jim Banks, (R-Ind.) said in a tweet replying to the DoD’s Feb. 18 tweet.

    “Your strategic imperative is defending the United States,” Elon Musk said in a Feb. 20 tweet directed at the DOD.

    “Do you seriously think Russia or China will be more deterred by the US military if our military promotes ‘diversity’ as a strategic priority? Really? Seriously?” author and psychologist Geoffrey Miller said in a Feb. 20 tweet.

    “Absolutely ridiculous and totally unrelated to the quite significant national security threats we face. China and Russia are laughing at you/us and when we encounter big ticket problems, people will look at this moment and posts like this to see where our priorities went wrong,” said political adviser and entrepreneur Blair Brandt.

    “Your entire mission is to deter an attack on the U.S. homeland, and if there is a war, to effectively and efficiently destroy the enemies of the United States. That’s it,” said Jeremy Redfern, deputy press secretary of Gov. Ron DeSantis.

    Multiple people are injured following an explosion at a metal manufacturing plant in Bedford, Ohio

    It remains unclear what caused the explosion and how many were injured

    The explosion is located just about 70 miles from East Palestine, where a toxic train derailed on February 3

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11773411/Mass-Casualty-Incident-reported-following-explosion-metal-manufacturing-plant-Bedford-Ohio.html

    Ambulances were pictured on the scene of 1 Schumann & Co., which makes brass and bronze alloys. It remains unclear what caused the explosion at around 2.30pm Monday and how many people were injured.

    Emergency services have also requested the development of several medical helicopters.

    https://twitter.com/JennaEllisEsq/status/1627826642168037384

    Today, James O’Keefe decided to remove his belongings from Project Veritas headquarters. The Board and Management made numerous attempts in the last 14 days to have a conversation with James, but he ignored our outreach and decided to instead leak private information to others, either by doing so himself or by proxy.

    As today is President’s Day, our office was closed. We had a Board meeting scheduled for tomorrow where James was invited, and there was also a Board meeting on Friday, February 10, where James was invited (but did not attend) to discuss the financial malfeasance that was discovered, which requires us to act in order to remain in compliance with the law.

    I can’t believe the amount of misinformation being spread about the charges against Alec Baldwin being amended. He isn’t receiving “special treatment” (at least not in that regard), and nobody was “paid off.”

    The Santa Fe DA’s office apparently has some shitty prosecutors who slept through the class in law school where they learn that you can’t charge someone with something that wasn’t in effect as of the date of the crime. That 5 year sentencing enhancement didn’t go into effect until several months after the shooting took place.

    “I wanted to bridge the gap between active duty service members, veterans and civilian supporters with apparel that was unabashedly patriotic,” he said, surrounded by workers and stacks of edgy apparel on the floor of his now million-dollar 60,000-square-foot operation in Savannah, Ga.

    The name “Nine Line,” Mr. Merritt said, is a nod to the military emergency medevac distress call used during dangerous battlefield situations. “It is often the difference between life and death for the most severely wounded soldiers on the combat field.”

    Hubby told me something interesting today. Apparently Soros said something complimentary about DeSantis. This is such an obvious ploy. DeSantis can handle the likes of Soros. Trump is running regardless of what DeSantis does. If DeSantis gets the nomination, Trump will run on some third party thing and split the vote.

    Sorry to be boring but this is actually an excellent articleby Martha Stewart. She does say at the beginning that in Europe recipes call for flour by weight not volume.

    https://www.marthastewart.com/1510607/measure-flour-42-burners

    Measuring flour might seem like the most basic kitchen task, but you’d be surprised by how many people get the technique wrong. In many countries, bakers use a scale to weigh ingredients like flour, but in the United States, most home bakers use recipes that call for flour in cup units—this is called measuring by volume.

    But the interesting part is late in the article!

    It makes a difference when your flour is sifted—but should you sift before or after you measure out the flour? That ultimately depends on the recipe. Does it call for “1 cup all-purpose flour, sifted” or “1 cup sifted all-purpose flour”? In our recipes, if “sifted” appears after the measurement and ingredient, the flour should be sifted after being measured. If the recipe calls for a measurement of “sifted flour,” you should sift flour and then measure the amount you need for your recipe.

    LMAO that sounds like the mathematical thingy where you do the math inside the brackets first, or last depending if it is a plus or minus sign or something.

    Who knew that a cup of sifted flour and a cup of flour sifted weighed differently!

    That youtube in German site is really awesome!

    Did one of the tortilla and an egg things last night and it was good.

    My problem was I didn’t have the big tortillas that covered the whole skillet just the smaller fajita sized ones so the eggy shit kept escaping.

    I like omelets but I hate that burned egg taste when I cook them too fast.

    I like breakfast burritos but hate it when all the scrambly egg and shit falls out.

    Cooked a perfect omletty thing wrapped n a tortilla!!!!

    Ten of the little buggers cost $1.78 but you only need one finely chopped to add to an omlette to give it a sausagy taste!

    Bill Clinton’s special advisor Mark Middleton, who signed Jeffrey Epstein into the White House several times, killed himself in May 2022

    According to the police report, Middleton was found with a gunshot wound to his chest and an extension cord tied around his neck and attached to a tree
    His body and car were found at the Heifer Ranch in Perryville, Arkansas

    https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/mark-finkelstein/2023/02/22/cnn-defense-attorneys-will-have-field-day-fulton-grand-jury

    n the movies, jurors can be heroic. But on television, they might seem ditzy and self-involved. CNN This Morning played excerpts from CNN’s interview of Emily Kohrs, the forewoman of Fulton County DA Fani Willis’s special grand jury that investigated efforts to overtun the 2020 presidential election in Georgia.

    Her giddy affect seemed downright strange. And Paula Reid, chief CNN legal correspondent, calling the interview “very unusual,” said:

    “I would expect the defense attorneys would have a field day with an interview like this.”
    Reid’s remarks are in line with comments made yesterday by Anderson Cooper and legal analyst Elie Honig. Cooper said he didn’t understand why she gave the interview, and Honig said her comments were “a prosecutor’s nightmare. Mark my words, Donald Trump’s team is going to make a motion if there’s an indictment to dismiss that indictment base on grand jury impropriety.”

And not try to blitz current election processes in every precinct. There should be a few high profile fraud case in the case with jail sentences to put some fear into that line of work.

As for the swamp – it’s wider and deeper than most realized, and he exposed a hella lot – abrasively. If DeSantis runs, Florida will lose a fighter, and he’ll split the vote with Trump.

    I don’t know if you’ve seen Game of Thrones (GoT). There’s a scene where the evil queen, Cersei, is marched naked thru the streets with people yelling SHAME! SHAME! at her.

    Clarkson wrote what a lot of people think. He wished the same on Markle.

    And all hell broke lose.

    Clarkson apologized. Markle, in her usual graceless manner, refused to accept it, calling it misogynistic, blah blah blah

    I’m not sure, but I think he’s getting his show back. People absolutely despise Meghan and Clarkson wouldn’t be the first person she got fired. Piers Morgan is another.

    I seem to be interested in that lately. Hard to tell still. Or which one is dangerous.

    Computer servers don’t like it when the fire sprinklers go off, so the rooms often have inert gas systems.

    When a nitrogen based system goes off, it does the opposite of what helium does to women’s voices. They become baritones.

    Kind of an interesting fact that CW may either back me up on or tell me I am full of shit ( hopefully in a skweeky voice )

    If you breath pure Nitrogen of Helium or any gas that is not Oxygen you will pass out and die without gasping for air.

    The main trigger for breathing is a build up of CO2.

    That is why in the good old days when I worked in OR the anesthetic machines had tanks of oxygen, nitrous oxide, a little tank of some ethylene stuff ( tank was small and orange ) and a CO2 tank.

    All mixed up in various quantities but the CO2 was added to stimulate strong breathing.

    As an aside, in an Indian/Pakistani/foreign type restaurant in the USA they deliver your food to the table in dishes and give you a plate.

    Shit is cold by the time you are half way through eating it.

    Now in England where real ethnic food is served before food is delivered to the table they put a cast iron thingy on the table that is just slightly cooler than the surface of the sun but really hot.

    On that glowing mass they place your food.

    Is that an EPA or HSA or some reason it is not allowed here?

    LOL and in Belgium they put a huge chunk of granite or fresh out of a volcano heated thing in front of you and a plate of raw meat and say ” fucking cook it yourself! ”

    While we are on the subject of cats ( you see what I did there I am highly trained )

    Black cats are unlucky. Superstitious bullshit.

    So if you walk under a ladder it is going to bring you bad luck.

    Break a mirror is seven years bad luck.

    A black cat crosses your path. Brings bad luck.

    Living with two black cats and I can say that no way am I getting up or under a ladder. Mirror in bathroom is broken and It was not me!

    Normal day here is black cats zooming around crossing my path like cars in New York ignoring stop lights.

    I think the bad luck is me tripping over a black cat when I go for a piss at 4am and break both legs, my pelvis and sustain a skull fracture when my head hits the bath tub.

    Cats are assholes. They lay in wait.

    Got several notices from the company we have some investments with – one notice per relevant account – saying SEC regulations required them to report the following information about each acct:

    and the info they wanted was about how the assets were distributed (foreign, etc).

    So I call our financial advisor and said “As far as I know, the SEC is not entitled to know a goddamn thing about my personal financial situation, and I am going to tell them to piss up a rope”

    He sez “You and all the rest of my clients. But not to worry, I can take care of it. The response will be “Client refuses to provide information.”

    Not sure. Yes, we’re being audited by the IRS and yes, some of our investments are in foreign entities. However, I doubt that our financial advisor’s clients receiving these letters have the same profile we do.

    Reminds me of the guy who came up with the best anti-malarial ever: DDT. He drank glasses of it to prove that it doesn’t affect humans. Then came Rachel.

    A lot of them have.

    Problems began in the late 1950s, where if a black kid went to college or otherwise tried to improve his lot in life, his peers would mock him a “greenback”. He was selling out the ‘hood to make a buck.

    @ Bunk Five Hawks X:
    Your comment reminded me of my first Halloween in California, 1980. A friend and I had heard about the, um, “festivities” in Hollywood and decided to attend.

    I decided to dress up as a snow tire. All black clothes with a black hood, black and white zig-zag treads on my face, and snow chains. THAT was a bone-headed move. Almost got the crap beat out of me by a drunk black guy who thought I was pretending to be a run-over slave.

    Gonna have to get a set of chains. Snowed here for the first time in 4 years. 6 inches. My car couldn’t make it out of the driveway nor up the country hill. Too icy.

    The Southern Alps. a full 12″ of the white stuff at Mt. Hutt today. The usual folks were going to go mountain biking and mid-summer alpine hiking and rock hopping but broke out their skies instead.

    Must have been some of that legendary global warming I’ve been hearing so much about!

    JEROME CORSI: Obama Went After General Flynn Because He Was a Risk of Indicting Him and Hillary for High Crimes and Misdemeanors (PART 3)

    I don’t know about parts 1 and 2. We nested today. Winter in Knoxville is all about rain and it rained ALL day. I cooked up a storm, fireplace on, Heathen Beagles slept thru it, WW II movies, so this is my only contribution for the day. Nite.

    Best interpretation was Garbage disposal smurf.

    Just decided to buy my next costume and not embarrass the hostess again.

    I believe so. I have that that type II diabetes thing also. Something about that shot and me. Food will affect the brain fog for me. If I eat fruit and keto mind works pretty much ok. Shift into cheetos and sharp downtick.

    My college buddy was innovative. Stumped for a costume, he dropped a cucumber in his pants at the last minute and hit the parties as John Holmes. None of the guys noticed, but ALL the girls did.

    We’re a ways south of L.A., got a lot of wind and driving rain. LOUD rain.
