this year’s flu season isn’t awful so far, it’s not as bad as covid was either.
however, lots of pneumonia without a positive covid/rsv/flu a / flu b positive test. something doesn’t look quite right. but, it’s better, i don’t have people decompensating in a couple hours and being tubed.
prolly over reacting and over analyzing.

Just remember that “global warming” is bullshit.
And, even if it isn’t, it doesn’t matter, because there’s nothing we can do about it save adapt.
@ buzzsawmonkey:
Of course anthropogic global warming is s total boondoggle. So what did Covid-19 response and Global warming have in common. Both were based on lies. Knowing lies from the very top of the tree. These lies were used as weapons that generated fear and this fear pushed the man and woman in the street to do as they’re’ so called exemplars’ commanded and then demanded by force of law.
When elites openly use fear as the motivating factor in compliance, then one must look at that illicit use of fear and ask the core questions. Why did the elites openly lie and why are the same elites have to use fear as a weapon against the very people who these elites are supposed to serve?
The addendum, is to ask the question of why are the elites are now attempting to sweep the emergent truth under the carpet? I answer the rhetorical question. So that the elites who were so successful in initially suppressing the freedoms of the people in the past, mat now ensure compliance of the elites covert agendas in the immediate future.

The clinic sends me a “How Was Your Visit” type survey after every infusion, and I answer them. Last time I added a note that they should get rid of the monitor in the waiting area that faces the reception desk, doesn’t face the seating area, no patients watch it, and all it plays is a stupid infomercial over and over and over. Annoying as hell during long wait times.
Today the monitor was off, and nobody knew why until I told them. They thanked me. 😀

A Reminder:
All the people who want to “regulate the planetary climate” and demand the power and unlimited resources to do so are people who have proven themselves incapable of competently managing and running recently-built, closed, man-made systems. They cannot competently run power grids, or municipal water systems or trash pickup; they cannot competently maintain, let alone repair, the “roads and bridges” they are always prating about; they cannot competently run or maintain the public housing they increasingly want people to live in, or the public transportation systems that they want people to rely on.
More than that; they cannot competently direct disaster recovery/relief from floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, droughts, wildfires, volcanic eruptions or earthquakes—let alone control or prevent such disasters.
Yet they want people to believe that they can, and should, be permitted to try and regulate the planetary climate, which is infinitely more subtle and varied and complex than any of the recently-built, closed, man-made systems they have already repeatedly proven incapable of managing.

I have been following this story for hours and there is not much about it I am going to post here because it’s flat out porn. But I don’t think any version of the MSM is going to say anything for days because they are in the ‘shit or go blind’ state right now.
A staffer for Ben Cardin had himself filmed engaging in a homosexual encounter in one of the Senate meeting rooms and posted it somewhere. It got picked up by X/twitter.
All I am going to say.
There is a side story that this is the same staffer who walked by a member of Congress who is Jewish and in front of media said “Free Palestine” but I can’t confirm that yet.
In other news, there is shipping congestion in the Red Sea (China/Houthis), I think Austin has directed the navy to get ready, so maybe supply chain issues in the offing.
And THIS is hilarious. A fabulous 2 room tent they set up and the snow starts. Somehow they have a heater and electricity, a stove and they’re ‘camping’

Also in an attempt to not cause tension here I will not post anything about the fact that Australia was a place where criminals were sent and watching Australian TV shows such as All Saints, Sea Patrol, Rush etc that most of the actors have blue eyes.

One stole a handkerchief and got 3 months on a prison barge on the Thames when he was 15. Being a slow learner he stops a dress and tried to sell it and was transported to Van Diemans Land (Tasmania) for life. He did 15 years there and then was sent to Newcastle about 120 miles north of Sydney Towne where he did another 5 years cutting wood. Finally got a ticket of leave, got married and had 6 kids! Ended ups sawyer in Sydney. The other stole a whole sheep cooked and ate it because he was hungry. He got flogged and sentenced to life in Golborne Jail south of Sydney Towne. He was released after 15 years hard labour, mostly woodworking as be was a carpenter. Finally bought a wagon and 2 bullocks loaded it with fired bricks. Married and they walked 300 miles over the Blue Mountains to the flat Castleragh country and Squatted on 60,000 acres. Milled local wood. Built a brick oven and then constructed a house and had 8 kids, raised wheat and began the town of Galargambone (in the local Aborigine language for … a bend in the river. ) ‘Galar’ and the original house is still there and was in the family until the mid 1930s.

Back in the 1950s-1960s they almost did it, but lost their bottle, when faced with the huge task of re-routing whole river systems. The Snowy River Scheme was finishing off and they had the expertise in massive engineering especially tunnelling, in spades (pardon the pun). They couldn’t find the funds to divert all of the rivers in Northern Australia fed annually by the ‘Big Wet’ , to the south where the land was gagging for more water. The MIA (The Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area in Northern Victoria & Southern New South Wales) plus the huge Old River scheme in Western Australia, showed what could be done to grow food. But the Northern Rivers/ Darling, Murray Rivers Scheme never got funded. It would have grown enough food for another 150 million folks!

Narrow AI with ‘expert systems’ is extremely doable and is progressing fast. General AI is touting what is mostly over-hyped rubbish and we seem to be forever just 5 years away from a ‘breakthrough. Advanced AI in General Systems remains pie in the sky, but that is where the news stories and click- bait resides. My favourite Mathematics Nobel winner Roger Penrose, has advanced AI’s philosophical underpinnings nailed down pretty well. Hell a computer can’t even solve the ‘Stopping Problem’ and philosophically you can’t get there! AI can model a human being by being clever but by its very nature all current AI is RULES based and even comparing AI with a human mind is akin to comparing apples to oranges. They have very little in common.
Most AI development is not even about AI advances. It’s all about gaining access to funding streams. Funny how AI is good at finding funding reservoirs!

Most of you are probably not aware of Winsome. She is the Lt. Gov of Virginia. The elections in that state are different. The Gov and Lt. Gov are elected separately. You can google. I got such a kick out of her. Her campaign photos showed her standing with a rifle in her arms. Corporal in the USMC.

This new Internet Telemedicine thingy is very interesting. It is a way of getting a prescription renewed without actually seeing a doctor.
You pay $129 for a 15 minute online consultation and then they do not give you a prescription but refer you to a consultant.
That consultation will cost fuck knows how much.
All I wanted was a prescription for the extra strength hemorrhoid cream!
So I could send it to someone all gift wrapped in time for Christmas.
Oh well….
While we are on the subject of drugs. There may be drugs around in this area.
As usual at about 11pm I let the cats out so they could chase mice and do cat things. They usually come back inside about 5 or 6 am and eat then find a sleeping place.
8am they finally came home and they are wired. 10am and they are still going nuts indoors.
Some cat nip drug deal must have gone wrong in the parking lot.
For those who remember the Aaron Worthing / Brett Kimberlin Saga, Stacy McCain reports that John Hoge has died.

The Colorado Supreme Court just ruled that Donald Trump cannot appear on the 2024 presidential ballot in their state.

so. i’m taking a small risk, i have to travel to north central PA for work for 6 weeks and decided not to stay at one of my favorite hotels. i did an airbnb for the month, the cost is pretty much a draw. the airbnb is in the middle of a 60 acre hobby farm with NOTHING near it. dead silence and privacy (yeah, its a single wide trailer in january in upper PA…..hope the heat works). it looks nice and has great reviews.
so, i’ll go hang out with the ducks, geese, chickens, scottish highland cattle, and kunekune pigs….updates later.

A Circuit Court declared Trump guilty of a Federal crime he’s never been charged with – outside its jurisdiction.
They know it won’t stand.
So what’s the game?
@ eaglesoars:
Election interference. Once the election is over, it doesn’t matter if they’re overturned.
@ lobo91:
Not sure how this works but Gorsuch is the Justice that oversees that circuit and I think he can issue a stay.
If I’m right, the Colorado Supreme Court knows that also. So that’s not it. Trump stays on the ballot via Gorsuch.
If I’m right – why did they do it?
@ eaglesoars:
To get other states to follow
Calo wrote:
So you think that other circuit presiding justices would not follow Gorsuch and this would keep Trump off the ballot?
New Hampshire has already removed Biden from their primary ballot.
So the immediate result would be chaos and that would put the election in…what? This is just the primaries. SCOTUS en banc should be able to straighten this out post haste.
I’m going to bed.

@ eaglesoars:
Biden removed himself from the ballot, because NH refused to bow to the DNC’s demand that they let South Carolina vote first. So now, the Dems consider the NH primary to be “unofficial”. It’s going to cost them half their delegates.

For Christmas I just bought myself an old fashioned set of jacks. The thick heavy kind.
Lunch is real English food.
A fluffy fresh bread, real butter, sharp cheddar and pickled beetroot sandwich.
Then an afternoon nap if I can get the cats off the bed.
I miss a real ploughman’s pub lunch. But living in a foreign country I do all I can do.
@ eaglesoars:
Perfect for changing the tires on a Dodge Ram 350
Oh well, 55 pounds of total cat weight. 60 claws, lots of sharp teeth. One small bed.
No way am I going to risk an afternoon nap.
However, all I have to do is go into the kitchen and yell ” MOUSE ” and instantly the bed is all mine….
Cats I love them.
The amount of time and labor required to replace a burned out light bulb in the tail light assembly of a 2006 Mazda Miata is amazing.

Last time I replaced a burned out tail light bulb was on a 1957 Chevy Bel-Air. Took me less than a minute.
@ Bunk Five Hawks X:
That man has really sticky out veins on his arms. Prefect for trainee nurses to practice on.
@ Possum:
LOL and now I am going to be asked why I noticed a full grown muscular adult male had veins that were stabbable.
I have a friend who routinely stabs veins in thingies that are about half the size and weight of a Walmart fryer chicken to draw blood samples.
Much respect, proud of my friend’s skill.

I got really sticky outty veins on my arms, too, and mine would be leaking if I done did the replacement myself instead of sending the missus off to the dealership service department. $22 for two little light bulbs plus $80 labor is a fair trade, at least for me.

Of course, there were worse designs in the ’70s. Porsche comes to mind.
The 914 had a little grille behind the rear window for engine access. All you could do through it was add oil. Anything more required removing the engine from the car.

Update on my quest to fake severe hemmeroids so as to get a prescription for extra strength asshole cream for a friend that needs it but is too embarrassed to visit a doctor in person.
As I stated in an earlier post my request for medication was denied and I was referred to a therapist.
Um, strange. Therapist? If they requested a picture of my rectum I could understand that. And I am good at photoshop and AI
AI please make me a picture containing a nice juicy peach, a starfish and a bunch of red grapes.
But no, a therapist. So I now have to book a 45 minute therapy session to get a prescription. Online, for all to see.
The things I do for love…..
@ Bunk Five Hawks X:
Not trying to be an asshole here ( the me being an asshole is on a different subject ) but as someone who is stupid, an idiot and with no knowledge of naval warfare and strategy I have a tiny question.
Looking at that map of deployments and awesome strength who the fuck is there to stop a submarine, or even a whole fleet sailing up the Potomac
Entire East coast un-defended.

They don’t spot Coast Guard vessels on the map, and submarines run silent, run deep.

2 miles away, 7.76 miles down. Epicenter was IN Huntington Beach, not offshore. 3.4 is not a large earthquake, but it definitely got our attention. I thought a couple transformers exploded nearby.

Not too big but I gotta ask, is everyone and everything okay?
@ Calo:
All is well. Being close to the epicenter made everything bounce.
How are you doing?

Yes, given the right equiptment and a good eye.

If I were advising ME, as an investor, would tell myself go find a colored diamond and hide it.

One thing I learned working in the store – jewelry has an emotional value that is not to be underestimated. I saw pieces that had no intrinsic value but a family history that was everything to the owner.
Treat those as tho they belong in the Smithsonian because to that family they do. A clasp that needs to be replaced that has been there since his grandmother who walked from Oklahoma. A pendant showing the dog she had as a child. The teeny tiny diamond he gave her when they were teenagers and she just put him in the ground and what does she do with it now?

Cultural observations from today’s shopping trip
Apparently among young women (teens, twenties) there is a fashion trend to go out wearing ‘christmasy’ pajama pants and slippers. Ok then.
Also, word to the wise. A lot of men seem to be doing some grocery shopping and taking the kids with them. Mom’s busy. Very nice. However, the grocery aisles are not Nascar and you don’t get points for doing ‘women’s work’. Three of us had to stare down some asshole who thought he’s God’s gift. One raised eyebrow (which we have all perfected by the time we’re 30) is a warning. Three is a death sentence. Which he was intelligent enough to understand
Almost forgot. Met a man who owns a Mustang, custom paint job in purple.
I love this place
For the 3rd year in a row, we got a hand-addressed Christmas card from a family we have never met who apparently live in Burke VA which we may have been to once. It’s one of those ‘family picture’ cards and lemme tell ya – I have never laid eyes on these people
Weird.

It was a ghost town, many shops had closed (including Sears!) during the covid economic boom. Kind of depressing.
I scored the missus a present – an Peruvian alpaca wool shepherd’s hooded poncho. Storekeeper was Peruvian, addressed me in Spanish so I responded in kind. I understood everything he said, but my words came out a bit bonky and his daughter told me to speak English. 😀

I did all my Christmas shopping this year without spending a penny. I do reviews for a certain online company that shall remain nameless. I’m just worried that I’m going to get hit hard for taxes. Right now I’m right near the bottom, so it shouldn’t affect me unless it bumps me into a new tax bracket. (They send a 1099 with all the items’ Estimated Cash Value totaled as income.)

Dig down and find the fashion historians who show you how the clothes were actually made, the chefs who tell you what eggs really do and the photogs who take you thru Rome and the Cotswolds.
Then there are the dog people.
