We're not easily offended and don't want people to think they have to walk on eggshells around here (like at another place that shall remain nameless) but of course, there is a limit to everything.
Play nice!
LOL male cats are stupid.
This morning at about 5am I let Glen outside ( the cat featured in the last thread ) and Natasha. Just for some fresh air and a stroll in the ‘hood.
Anyway, at 8am poked my head out of the propped open door, they are free to come and go as they please, and yelled ” breakfast! ”
For those that need to know breakfast was Fancy Feast grilled chicken in gravy. Natasha ate then strolled into the bedroom and out of the patio door, onto the balcony and is enjoying the sun.
Glen has just spent the last 30 minutes exploring the apartment. Looking around, sniffing everything as if I had just brought him here from a cat shelter and he was in a strange place.
Breakfast is just a bonding thing, they have access to dry cat food 24/7 which they actually prefer no matter what type of wet cat food I get them.
Put the computer Glen wrecked by pissing on it back together completely now. Actually using it to post here and watching Startup on Tubi.
As I posted before had to take it apart and wash the motherboard in isopropyl alcohol which involved taking the heatsink/fan thingy off it. I was worried about the fact that when re assembled there was not enough slime left on it.
CPU package running at 34C. So all is good in that department.
Only issues are diagnostic thingy says ” Generic hard drive ” but obviously hard drive works. Also getting ” generic monitor ” no big deal, I can see ya’ll on my screen.
If anyone remembers I got this one as refurbished, it was supposed to be a HP Prodesk G3 with an Intel Quad Core i5-6500. It actually has a Intel Core i5-7600 and I joked it must have been a managers computer.
When it was murdered I ordered another one, same thing, that was really a i5-6500. I ordered the same model so in the future if I had say a PSU fail I had spares.
Anyway, now I has TWO HP Prodesk G3s and the 7600 CPU one is really much faster!
However it still smells of cat piss, the VGA port don’t work and neither does the USB C port. But it is fast! LOL
These computers were $139 and they come with a mouse, a keyboard and a 21″ monitor.
First one came with a cheap Chinese monitor that is still in the box.
Second one came with a Dell P2217H and it is awesome.
BONUS!
Stupid spreadsheet is on the other computer, yes I can transfer it to this one and update what I drink and eat.
But not doing it. Having a day off and enjoying generic hard drive and generic monitor and air frying steak fries which are not on the spreadsheet.
Fries served with four fried eggs…
A question for anyone who lives in Texas and wears headphones to listen to TV shows.
Isn’t it really annoying when you take the headphones off to go into the kitchen to check on your fries or go to the bathroom and while you are gone some sneaky roach crawls into them?
Put headphones back on, resume the video and within 5 seconds you have a roach in your ear canal!

This is almost unbelievable. Wall Street private equity firms are now buying up American mobile home parks and skyrocketing rents up to 60% on people
“These communities have become the target of a new kind of landlord, private equity. Private equity firms are increasingly getting involved. Some of the biggest investors in America have moved into this industry. People living at a local mobile home park outraged over the sharp increase in lot rents. Rents were raised by nearly 60%.”
Resident “I worked for 45 years. There is no American dream anymore. All it is survival.”
“Homes of America has gone on a buying spree spending nearly $300 million to acquire 138 parks across 17 states. They’ve raised rents and aggressively evicted residents.” and that’s just ONE FIRM buying, there are many more

Good advice. can’t cut-paste so click on the link. If you’re lost/injured change the voicemail msg on your phone to give approx location, date, time and specifics of your situation (staying w/car, walking out, etc). Even if your phone battery dies your voicemail still works.

LONDON IS SHITE. A thread based on one day
Need a new coat for football tomorrow, Forest away, weather looks dodgy, so took a trip into central London
1. “Engineering works” on trains. So onto a packed bus. It stinks of weed. Random geezer gets into huge argument with stranger in unknown language
2. At the shop, I have to get buzzed in. It soon becomes clear why. The cashier tells me mobs of three lads at a time go in to steal North Face puffas. I try on two coats. Both have broken padlocks in pockets, ripped off of other stolen items & stashed. Cashier sighs, says “this is normal. The police never turn up, so we’ve stopped calling”
3. At a tourist pub, a distraught American lady has had her handbag lifted
4. Packs of immigrant Deliveroo riders outside most takeaways or restaurant. Are these the highly-skilled brain surgeons or nuclear physicists the Guardian constantly tell us enrich our country?
5. Have to take an Uber home. £25 for a 3.5 mile journey which takes 50 minutes
6. Through Camberwell, drugged-up fella going mental lying down on pavement
7. Cars now move slower than horses and carts did in London in the 1800s. This is a fact, Google it
8. If you were driving your own car, it would be Congestion Charge &
ULEZ for non-compliant vehicles like mine (I refuse to be forced to upgrade, which might sound like a self-inflicted wound, but my diesel motor is great & only has 45k miles)
9. There’s no wonder the high street is dying. Shoplifting totally normalised. It’s slow, expensive. The threat of crime & nutters is omnipresent. I’ve lived in London for 30 years and huge parts of it now just feel like quasi Third World dumps
10. I’ve passed two sets of flowers tied to lampposts on my route back. Yet more wilted memorials to stab victims, which are so normal in London now, folks barely notice
11. I love my life, I love my London-based job, my kids & missus. I bought a house when it was still affordable and this city has been kind to me. But those days are over. I’ve totally fallen out of love with London. No way on earth would I recommend any young person move here any more. It’s over ENDS

I just watched the documentary Downfall: The Case Against Boeing, about the 737 Max debacle. Really interesting. They basically traced everything back to the 1997 merger of Boeing and McDonnell Douglas, which is an angle I hadn’t heard before.
The producers are apparently working on a sequel focusing on the company’s further misadventures now.

Interestingly it was Douglas who originally pulled Boeing’s first effort to manufacture an ‘electric’ airplane (the Boeing 767). Douglas was a full step ahead of Boeing when it came to automated electronics. Douglas was a full generation ahead of Boeing and showed the way with the DC-10. Thousands of Douglas engineers were seconded to Boeing or Boeing would have gone under financially and technology due to poor Boeing technology in the B-767. That was a dog of a cocked up airplane until Douglas ‘fixed’ it for Boeing. YET it was Boeing who took over Douglas! POLITICS! Smoked filled rooms and corporate corruption!
🙂
@ Aussie Infidel:
That documentary made it sound more like McDonnell Douglas took over Boeing, despite the name. They claim that it was the replacement of Boeing’s engineering-focused culture with the McDonnell Douglas focus on profits/stock price that screwed things up.

She had a mammogram the other day and they found a lump. Biopsy results came in yesterday, and it’s cancer. A very small mass, about the size of your little fingernail.
She’ll hear from her doctor tomorrow, and the surgery could happen this week.
That broken humerus could be a blessing in disguise since her exam was scheduled for the week it was broken. It could have been missed 2 months ago.

Jesse Waters has questions
1. How was Ryan Routh, “a man with no money for child support,” able to suddenly start living in a pricey house in Hawaii and afford flights to Taiwan, Turkey, Poland, and Ukraine?
2. Why has Routh “never served a day in jail” when he has “100 different counts” to his name?
3. Why was Routh’s fiancée, who just lost her job at Victoria’s Secret, okay with him flying to Ukraine for months at a time?
4. How was he able to feed himself in Ukraine when he only had “$68 in [his] bank account.”
5. “And everywhere he goes, he gets press from the local papers to the New York Times to Newsweek.”
The whole thing stinks, and it suggests that someone other than Routh’s “fiancée” was supporting him.
And I’m wondering if this whole P Diddy thing gets hooked backed to the Podesta stuff.

Ephesus (Turkiye) terrace houses are located on the hill opposite the Hadrian Temple. Also known as “the houses of rich”, they were built according to Hippodamian plan of the city in which roads transected each other at right angels.
There are six residential units on three terraces at the lower end of the slope of the Bulbul Mountain. The oldest building dates back into 1st Century BC and continued in use as residences until 7th Century CE.

Trove of top-secret information may be trapped on $40M Bayesian yacht after deadly capsize: report
A trove of top-secret documents and confidential data on foreign governments could be trapped inside the doomed Bayesian superyacht after the $40 million vessel capsized last month, killing its billionaire owner and six others last month, according to a report.
Italian prosecutors ordered heightened security around the sunken boat to protect the sensitive information that they believe was stored in water-tight safes before the Aug. 19 tragedy, sources told CNN.
Among the loot are two super-encrypted hard drives that hold highly classified information, including passcodes and other sensitive data, tied to a number of Western intelligence services, an official involved in the salvage plans said.

Pat Leahy gave John one of his first jobs in DC. Hubby and Leahy go way back and Hubby has had a friendly acquaintance with John for a long time.
So Hubby walks into Tony’s house to say hello, schmooze a bit, drop off the check, yada yada. He noticed there was a lot of artwork and as time passed, he noticed it was GROSSLY pornographic and it turned his stomach. That bad. He dumped the check off and got out of there as fast as he could.

I have been an audience viewer of this battle of the factions with the US Agencies since I was a 17 year old slipping into the USIS Offices in Margaret Street in Sydney’s centre over the past half a century or more! They had a great library and I loved the ambiance and efficiency of the friendly staff librarians. Even at that tender age I sensed that the CIA smell hung about in this place. Later in life I became very aware other places where the CIA was holed up within. The Bourbon & Beefsteak ‘watering hole’ opposite the el Armaine Fountain, in the middle of King’s Cross in central Sydney, where I was introduced to the unofficial ‘CIA Resident’ who ran the joint during the days of mid Vietnam War where tens of thousand US military frequented the strip joints and hotels on R&R. One could smell the ‘spooks’ a mile away and eventually the whole spook-central set up disintegrated in the van of the ‘Bottom of the Harbour’ Royal Commission of Inquiry into CIA money laundering and the infiltration and fixing of an Australian Federal election.
The ‘ persona dramatis’ included my dad who was the Crown Sergeant cop who ran ‘The Cross’ , ex RAAF Armaments Fitter, born again accountant, Catholic Priest, occasional radio shock jock, the scourge of the Bishop of Sydney, ace aviator who checked my out and tested me out before recruiting me to ferry an airplane to New Guinea, and fly as a ‘bush pilot based in Vanimo TPNG, broke the London bureaucracy by becoming the first Catholic priest to hire the Royal Albert Hall and stage a Joan Southerland opera to finance my airplane in New Guinea, Was the padre for QANTAS Airways, Flew across the NZ and married my ‘current good lady wife and I , after a rogue RC Priest was giving my future good lady wife shit prior to the wedding, flew to NZ to baptise two of our three kids.

FCC FAST-TRACKS SOROS’ BID TO DOMINATE THE AIRWAVES
Last week, the FCC adopted an order to approve his purchase of more than 200 radio stations in 40 markets just weeks before the presidential election.
The stations reach more than 165 million Americans, and staff at the FCC are concerned that the move is politically motivated.
The commission’s three democrats voted for the move, while the two republicans voted against it.
Under existing FCC rules, foreign company ownership of U.S radio stations is not supposed to exceed 25%.
Soros took foreign investment to make his bid and then filed a request for the commission to make an exception to the usual review process.
The decision to fast-track the approval process bypassed a national security review, which could have taken up to a year to complete.

Kamala’s campaign is using fake news headlines from a liberal dark money funded organization that does political work on behalf of Democrats by operating phony news outlets.
Here’s how Soros funded propaganda moves in real time:
Earlier today, Kamala HQ and Kamala Wins posted a headline earlier claiming that the Polish Community in PA supposedly endorsed her. But it turned out to just be a letter that was written by a bunch of partisan Democrat politicians.
The letter was published by some news outlet called “Keystone Newsroom.” It sounds like a local PA media outlet. But in reality, it’s part of Courier Newsroom, which is a Democrat dark money funded media project founded by Democrat operatives that operates websites claiming to be news outlets in key swing states.
The idea is to make them seem like non-partisan local outlets when in reality they exist to give glowing coverage to Democrats.
In addition, Courier Newsroom also spends millions of dollars on targeted ads on social media and doesn’t have to register with the FEC as a political group even though their explicit purpose is to elect Democrats.
George Soros, Reid Hoffman, and other liberal billionaires all fund Courier Newsroom. They are doing blatant political activities on behalf of Democrats while registered as a tax exempt organization.
Should be an FEC violation.

I just watched a video of last night’s Warning show in Pittsburgh. They played the Thunderbird Cafe, which is an almost laughably small venue (capacity of 380). Dany and Ale could have reached back and touched the drums while standing at their microphones.
But they still put on a hell of a show. You have to admire their work ethic. It doesn’t matter if they’re playing to 300 people in Pittsburgh or 300,000 in Poland last month, they give it their all.
I don’t think they’re going to be playing many of these tiny venues in the future, though. They have a few more festival dates this month, then they hook up with Evanescence and Halestorm for a bunch of arena dates in the US and Canada. I’m going to see them in Seattle in a couple of weeks in an 8,000 seat arena.

Maybe half a point for a fruit fly that is eating cat food, and no points for a spider whacked as they catch fruit flies but when they crawl on my naked hairy legs they get whacked.
The real way to earn points is to whack a roach that has an egg sack attached to their ass. That is a 20 pointer!
( got to google how many mini roaches are in an egg sack. Maybe it is worth more than 20 points. )
I like to be accurate so I did research.

Do Dany and Ale know they have a stalker?

I fucking hate floods. I’ve seen them all my life and the Election Day flood was the last fucking straw. Water up to the 2nd floor. Dad and I lived on the houseboat to clean up – I could only stay for a few weeks and I had my border collie Tramp with me. Most of what I did was shoot wildlife whose homes had been destroyed and clean. With bleach. Oh yeah and I cooked/food prep. Took 3 years for the yards to even begin to return to normal, it was all mud. My first dog, Tippy, was buried there and somehow her grave/remains were disturbed so I had to re-bury her. Had to burn all the bodies of everything I shot. Miserable doesn’t begin to describe it. It was November/December so it wasn’t warm. When I researched properties for this move I made damn sure we were nowhere near a river/creek/dam

1. Abbas Ibrahim Sharaf Ad-Din: Srour’s deputy
2. Hussein Hany: senior terrorist from Hezbollah’s missile unit who was close to Fuad Shukr
Additionally, the terrorist Fuad Shafiq Khaz’al Khanafer, a senior operative in Hezbollah’s surface-to-surface missile unit, was eliminated in another IDF strike.
These terrorists were sources of expertise for the Hezbollah terrorist organization and over the years, led various terrorist activities and force-building efforts intended to harm the State of Israel.

Lake Lure Dam will not fail. Water is currently flowing over the top of the dam as it is designed to do.
If the town of Lake Lure had not been so fucking greedy because they use the dam to provide hydro electric power and the more water behind the dam the more electricity it produces they could have safely lowered the lake level prior to the storm hitting.
But, they didn’t. Because lowering the lake inconveniences people who have pleasure boats moored to private docks.
They proudly proclaimed on the town website how water levels are managed. LOL and they did bugger all in preparation for heavy rainfall.

And this is how they will try to steal the election. From Pennsylvania
This is probably one of the most important posts I’ll make on social media:
A reliable source tells me that Luzerne County Board of Elections has
15,000+ UNPROCESSED voter registration + mail-in ballot applications.
The BOE is also refusing outside help to get these forms processed.
➡️This is happening in a county that ran out of paper on Election Day in 2022⬅️
When we first discovered the backlog, we were told there was no backlog & it was a “rumor.”
Please note that the press release below does NOT include mail-in ballot requests, nor does it include online versus paper applications.
The last day to register to vote in PA is October 21st & the last day to request a mail-in ballot is October 29th.
This is voter disenfranchisement.
Pennsylvania was decided by 40,000 votes in 2016 & 80,000 votes in 2020.
Luzerne County may very well determine who wins the presidency.

The Israel Defense Force has reportedly assessed that Hezbollah Secretary-General, Hassan Nasrallah was Eliminated by tonight’s Strike on Hezbollah’s Command Bunker in Southern Beirut.
https://x.com/sentdefender/status/1839737027517899066
given he hasn’t popped back up from Iran, I think it’s a safe bet
@ lobo91:
Fire is a bigger risk for us than earthquakes, unless you count Sacramento.
<VERY INTERESTING – MUST READ: Israeli media is reporting on the unbelievable story behind the strike in Beirut today. This all started after the Pager explosions when Israel thought that Nasrallah would agree to a deal separate from Gaza to pull back his forces beyond the Litani. However, Israeli intelligence soon found out that this was not the case, and Nasrallah had no such intentions.
At that point, two things happened simultaneously. One was the Israeli decision that Nasrallah had to be eliminated in order to move forward in Lebanon, and the other was the American proposal for a ceasefire. Bibi decided to go along with the American proposal even though he knew it wouldn’t go anywhere because of Nasarllah’s stubbornness. Bibi also didn’t want to embarrass the Americans.
This deception led Hezbollah to lower its guard right in time for this decapitation strike. Israel did this with the understanding that they would now be going for a total war. There will be no deal and no agreements. In a masterful stroke, Israel has struck the enemy a fatal blow before the true fight has even started.

Boris Johnson has written a book. I’m not sure how much of his life it covers, but it covers enough.
Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said he ordered military chiefs to plan a raid on a Dutch factory in March 2021 to secure 5 million COVID vaccines that the European Union had threatened to bar from being exported to Britain.
Johnson said the deputy chief of Britain’s defence staff at the time, Lieutenant General Doug Chalmers, had told him a raid using small boats to cross the Channel and navigate Dutch canals would be possible – but warned him of diplomatic repercussions.
According to Johnson, Chalmers – who has since retired from the military – told him it would not be possible to carry out the mission undetected and that “if we are detected we will have to explain why we are effectively invading a long-standing NATO ally”.
“I secretly agreed with what they all thought but did not want to say aloud: that the whole thing was nuts,” Johnson said in an extract from his memoirs that was published in Saturday’s Daily Mail newspaper.

Food post. Chicken in carrot and alfredo sauce. For lonely old men that if they cook it they have to eat it.
Take one frozen chicken breast that weighs about 1 pound and wrap it in foil. Disclaimer, before it was frozen it was coated with onion powder, sage and Italian herbs. Left to do its thing in a zip lock bag a for a few hours in the fridge then a splash of chicken stock added to mitigate the freezer burn thing.
Anyway, wrap the frozen chicken with a coating of chicken broth and herbs etc in foil and stick it in air fryer at 250F for 60 minutes. So it can thaw.
Stop yelling thaw chicken before cooking it and cook it to an internal temp of 160F! Cooking frozen chicken is fine as long as you always go in the getting hotter direction without a pause.
Well, after an hour chicken was thawed, but very pink in the middle. Rule is keep moving forward and upward as to temperature without a pause.
Hot but not fully cooked chicken then cut into big chunks and sautéed in an ounce of coconut oil. Slow cooker was heating up on medium.
Pour the chicken into slow cooker ( the very small one, I live alone ) and add a can of libbys sliced carrots drained, half an ounce of parmesan and three ounces of alfredo sauce and forget about it for 4-6 hours.
End result is carrots disintegrate, chicken is still in chunks but very juicy and the carrot/alfrado sauce is amazing!

That could be a reference to the time at the start of COVID where the UK government funded I think $320 million or pounds to Astra Zenica so they could build new facilities to make a vaccine. The UK asked other European countries to help with the funding and they declined.
Once Astra Zenica started production in the UK and their foreign subsidiaries suddenly the other EU countries banned the export of the vaccine back to the UK. They wanted it!

How a U.S. Port Strike Could Affect You
A looming strike by dockworkers at ports from Massachusetts to Texas could snarl supply chains and raise prices on a wide array of consumer goods—just as the holiday shipping season approaches.
Members of the International Longshoremen’s Association, a union representing 85,000 dockworkers, plan to strike Tuesday if they can’t reach agreement on a new contract with the United States Maritime Alliance, which represents large shipping lines.

A walkout would be the first East Coast dock strike in the U.S. since 1977.

A strike would shut down container facilities at 14 ports stretching from Boston to Houston. Those ports handled more than 68% of all containerized U.S. imports last year.

@ eaglesoars:
This Google critic dared to accuse the tech giant of meddling in the 2016 election on behalf of Hillary Clinton – then his life fell apart
In August 2019, Dr. Robert Epstein found himself caught in the middle of a heated clash between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.
Just weeks earlier, he had testified before Congress, presenting compelling research that accused Google of playing an instrumental role in the 2016 election.
Epstein claimed the tech giant had manipulated search results and other tools to tilt the scales in Hillary Clinton’s favour.
Although Google’s efforts failed and Trump was elected, his evidence painted a damning picture of a corporation wielding immense, unchecked power.
Then, President Trump tweeted about Epstein’s findings, drawing attention to the academic’s work.
Instead of addressing the real threat Epstein had uncovered, Clinton fired back with a tweet full of falsehoods, misrepresenting his research.
The following day, Epstein responded in a flurry of 18 tweets, defending his work.
But it was too late.
By exposing the truth and defending his work, Epstein had made powerful enemies—two, to be precise: Hillary Clinton and Google.
His life would never be the same.
The consequences of Epstein’s defiance were swift and brutal. His career, once thriving, was suddenly in free fall.
The academic establishment, likely influenced by the same corporate and political interests he had criticized, turned its back on him.
He found himself marginalised, unable to publish in peer-reviewed journals.
The former editor-in-chief of “Psychology Today” suddenly found himself banished from the very world that previously provided him with refuge, respect, and even reverence.
Things were bad, then they got worse.
Shortly after making powerful enemies, his wife Misti died in a car crash after losing control of her vehicle for unknown reasons, an event that shook him to his core.
Adding to the anguish, as he recently told Joe Rogan, Epstein was denied access to the vehicle involved, raising questions about what really happened that day.
PastedGraphic-2.png
Mistis’ Ford Ranger was broadsided by a Freightliner semi towing 2 loads of cement.
This, along with the peculiar accidents and declining health of several of his closest friends, painted a haunting picture of a man besieged on all sides—not just professionally, but personally as well.
The collusion between Big Tech and political elites, as Epstein discovered firsthand, isn’t just theoretical.
The ties between Google and the Clintons run deep, with Eric Schmidt, Google’s then-chairman, both supporting and advising Clinton’s campaign.
Google had gambled heavily on Clinton defeating Trump in 2016, offering up its resources, its platform, and, as Epstein’s research revealed, its algorithms, to shape the electorate’s perceptions.
The stakes were exceptionally high, and Epstein’s research lifted the lid on some uncomfortable truths.
But beyond academic or political retaliation, Epstein’s downfall reveals the chilling consequences of challenging powerful figures.
As he told SkyNews.com.au, “Twelve years of trying to raise awareness about the threat that Google and other tech companies pose to democracy, our kids, and our autonomy have taken their toll. I’ve been completely cut off from mainstream media, and my once-spotless reputation as a scientist has been impugned. It’s been a brutal experience.”
His research wasn’t fringe—it was thorough, data-driven, and alarming.
Yet because it posed a threat to a nexus of power—Clinton and Google—Epstein was systematically silenced, ostracised, and left to bear the personal consequences of standing by the facts.
Epstein had done everything right by academic standards.
He had produced credible, peer-reviewed research and testified before Congress to raise awareness—not just for America, but for the entire world, about a growing threat.
Epstein referenced an infamous short video called “The Selfish Ledger,” which explores the company’s ability to reengineer humanity according to Google’s values.
“My research,” he noted, “shows that they actually possess this power, and the increasingly sophisticated monitoring systems my team and I have built reveal that they are using it.”
The video outlines the numerous ways Google could reshape human behavior by harnessing our digital data—everything from our searches to our purchases.
With a staggering 95 per cent share of the search engine market in Australia, Google wields an unparalleled influence, allowing it to steer society toward specific goals while subtly manipulating our choices in the pursuit of a supposedly more efficient world.
This vision grows increasingly unsettling in light of Google’s controversial decision to remove its “Don’t Be Evil” clause.
With such immense power at their disposal, the potential for cultural subversion becomes staggering.
If a corporation can dictate what qualifies as a “better” choice, it threatens to erode individual autonomy and impose a narrow, even perverted, definition of societal progress.
And this agenda is already playing out.
The American’s research reveals that a handful of tech companies, particularly Google, can subtly manipulate the thoughts, behaviors, and voting patterns of billions worldwide.
Since 2013, Epstein and his team have identified a number of subliminal techniques these companies use, proving their influence through controlled experiments.
By 2016, they developed technology to preserve search results across multiple platforms, highlighting how “ephemeral content” like search results, newsfeeds, and video sequences shape public opinion but vanish without a trace, making them impossible for authorities to track.
Epstein’s monitoring system, enhanced in 2018, 2020, and 2022, was designed to capture and archive online content, with a particular focus on revealing Google’s influence in shaping public opinion.
In an advance copy of his latest academic monograph, “The Evidence”, shared with Sky News Australia, Epstein presents striking findings.
Despite claims by The Economist and Stanford that Google is unbiased, Epstein points out major flaws in their studies—most notably, their reliance on bots rather than real users, rendering their results unreliable.
He also raises concerns about the close ties between Google and these institutions, hinting at potential conflicts of interest.
In contrast, Epstein’s research, conducted through the nonprofit, nonpartisan American Institute for Behavioral Research and Technology (AIBRT), reveals Google’s unapologetic left-leaning bias and its suppression of conservative content.
Unlike other studies, his findings rely on real data from real users, exposing the deep influence tech giants hold over the flow of information.
As Robert Epstein continues to bravely expose Google’s dark agenda, will his willingness to challenge such a powerful entity lead him further into a world of threats, suffering, and deep uncertainty? Will he, like his wife, also die under mysterious circumstances?
With every revelation, the risks escalate, and the dangers surrounding him intensify.
Arkanside anyone ?
The current estimate is 47 so far?
Rats Scurry for Cover: Iran Moves Supreme Leader to ‘Secure Location’ After IDF Strike Kills Nasrallah

nite
Data is only useful if it is accurate.
Thinking of what to have for breakfast and spreadsheet says I have a 600 calorie chunk of meatloaf in the freezer. That would be great! Meatloaf, salsa and salad.
Emptied freezer, no meatloaf.
My spreadsheet as to what is in the freezer is about as accurate as the US voter registration database.
Doing breakfast the old fashioned way, no database, no mail in food, the food has to be present in person to be eaten and it needs an ID and an eat by date.
Cheese, eggs and salsa meet the edibility requirements. No other food, even though registered on spreadsheet, is eligible.
Via a loophole in my spreadsheet the number of cans of sardines are not showing up.
Did a stock check, 3 cans of sardines in oil, 1 can of sardines in tomato sauce and 3 cans of the $2 chunk tuna. I do not buy the chicken of the sea tuna any more because after it is drained there ain’t much tuna left.
Also, I think the number of cans of fishy stuff in stock does not match what I thought I had is because the number is subtracted when I eat one.
You guessed correctly, not allowing for when the cats eat some.
Note to self, next Walmart order requires another 4 cans of Cali Girl sardines….
@ Possum:
And for those that think I live in a fantasy world, four cans of sardines in tomato sauce and trying the extra spicy version, two cans added to cart. 5.5oz at $0.98
What also got recommended was a 15oz can of mackerel for $2.08 so in the cart it went.
When I am bored I will do a spreadsheet of price per gram of protein, fat and carbs of different foods. I already have a theory.

DETAILS ON THE YEMEN STRIKES: In a large-scale air operation today, dozens of IAF aircraft, including fighter jets, refueling, and intelligence planes, under the direction of the IDF Intelligence Directorate, attacked targets used by the Houthi terrorist regime in the areas of Ras Issa and Al Hudaydah in Yemen.
The aircraft attacked power plants and a seaport, which are used to import oil. They also attacked infrastructure at the port that the Houthi regime uses to transfer Iranian weapons to the region, supplies for military needs, and oil.
The IDF clarified that: “the attack was carried out in response to the latest attacks carried out by the Houthi regime against the State of Israel. Throughout the past year, the Houthi terror regime has been operating under the direction and funding of Iran and in cooperation with the Iraqi militias in order to harm the State of Israel, undermine the regional order, and disrupt global freedom of navigation. The IDF is determined to continue to act and harm anyone who poses a threat to the citizens of the State of Israel, and at whatever distance it takes.”

Also, the unit in question (2nd Squadron, 278th Armored Cavalry Regiment) is not particularly well-equipped to support disaster response missions. It’s basically a mechanized infantry battalion equipped with M2A3 Bradleys. Sure, they have 700 warm bodies and some trucks, but engineers, aviation, transportation and medical units are going to be a lot more useful.

And I can tell you exactly how that happened. There was a software update and somebody used the test code instead of the production code.
I’ve done it. Our test code used names from Chaucer and Shakespeare and – oopsie! Somebody moved the test code to the migration platform
Israel is sending troops into Lebanon. It is now a ground war.

Poor thing. I worked every day of COVID, too. You know what I got at the end of it? I was laid off.

I bet they didn’t have to get vaxed to keep their jobs either. And I’d like to see that COVID death count too

Yeah bullshit. Laura Loomer reported yesterday that the CEO’s wife is a big supporter of ‘gender affirming care’ and she HATES Trump

Bingo…. right on time. Only postal votes allowed and the US Postal Service is already over stretched. The printing presses are being geared up ready to print millions of dodgy postal votes for the Mk. 2 theft of the 2024 election.

from the IDF
In accordance with the decision of the political echelon, a few hours ago, the IDF began limited, localized, and targeted ground raids based on precise intelligence against Hezbollah terrorist targets and infrastructure in southern Lebanon. These targets are located in villages close to the border and pose an immediate threat to Israeli communities in northern Israel.
The IDF is operating according to a methodical plan set out by the General Staff and the Northern Command which IDF soldiers have trained and prepared for in recent months.
The Israeli Air Force and IDF Artillery are supporting the ground forces with precise strikes on military targets in the area.
These operations were approved and carried out in accordance with the decision of the political echelon. Operation “Northern Arrows” will continue according to the situational assessment and in parallel to combat in Gaza and in other arenas.
The IDF is continuing to operate to achieve the goals of the war and is doing everything necessary to defend the citizens of Israel and return the citizens of northern Israel to their homes.

Bummer. Went to the clinic this morning for No. 113, found out that my favorite nurse had quit, presumably for a better gig. She was hella fun, we’d crack each other up even when passing in the hallway.
We rarely discussed politics (not the place for it) but she referred to Gavin Newsom as Governor Douchebag.
Pete Rose dead at 83.

I thought longshoremen were tough? I guess they really aren’t.
Glad I was a Teamster in previous life.

This is a followup to yesterday’s post about the quartz mining at Spruce Pine NC
People have been talking about the potential impact of the tragic Hurricane on the high-quality quartz production facilities in Spruce Pine.
We geolocated a video showing the entrance to at least one of the facilities is under water.
Nearby freight rail and roads are also damaged.
Experts say risks could be meaningful but companies have significant stockpiles.

Wait WHAT??!!
The exploding pagers. The chemical handshake that sealed Nasrallah’s doom. The head of the Iranian anti-Mossad unit being a Mossad agent. John le Carré and Ian Fleming were never this imaginative.

WILD STORY ABOUT MOSSAD IN IRAN!: Former Iranian President Ahmadinejad told CNN in Turkey that Iran established a special unit to combat Mossad activities inside Iran, but it turned out that the head of this unit was himself a Mossad agent and, together with 20 other agents, was responsible for stealing nuclear documents and assassinating nuclear scientists, before they fled to Israel.

From what I’ve been reading it looks like the Verizon outage was an attack. The last 10 years of my professional life were in telecom and I left 21 yrs ago, the tech changes have been massive and I’m sure there’s a lot I don’t know. But I have zero idea how you get a NATIONAL outage for hours. Apparently AT&T was also impacted. Verizon is back up, don’t know about AT&T
