    The trans movement is monstrous. Its adherents/supporters are evil. Without exception. THE AZTECS DID NOT STOOP TO THIS. Mutilation of children should carry the death penalty. The Nuremberg Laws apply.

    Levine “was very concerned that having ages (mainly for surgery) will affect access to healthcare for trans youth … and she and the Biden administration worried that having ages in the document will make matters worse.”

    So they removed the age limits! For these procedures, among others: removal of both ovaries; double mastectomy; turning a girl’s clitoris into a micro-penis; surgically removing a boy’s penis; surgical and chemical castration of boys; and permanent removal of the capacity for orgasm for both boys and girls. I repeat: permanent removal of the capacity for orgasm for both boys and girls.

    ‘In a move that echoes global trends, Australia introduces laws that could imprison citizens for up to five years for “hate speech,” raising alarm about the future of free expression.’

    “Australia’s Victoria state proposes laws criminalizing “hate speech” with up to five years imprisonment
    New laws align with global trend of increased speech regulation, including UK’s Online Safety Act and EU’s Digital Services Act

    Please ” take my Grok away.. ” Obscure reference to a song on Top Gun.

    Been messing with Grok for hours and getting nowhere. I wanted to generate an image, save it then modify it. Without being boring I want to make a sequence of the same base subject.

    Hours of frustration, then had a brilliant thought!

    how do I ask grok to create an image and then modify that image.

    Answer
    To ask me, Grok 2, to create an image, you can simply say something like:

    “Please create an image of [describe what you want the image to be of].”

    Once I’ve generated the image, if you want modifications, you can then ask:

    “Can you modify the image to [specify the changes you want]?”

    For example:

    “Please create an image of a futuristic cityscape at dusk.”
    After receiving the image, you might say, “Can you modify the image to make the sky more vibrant and add flying cars?”

    Remember, my ability to generate and modify images is based on the capabilities of the FLUX.1 model by Black Forest Labs, which I use for image generation. If there are specific styles or elements you’re looking for, mentioning those can help guide the creation or modification process.

    My eyes are tired and I need a beer. But it looks like hours of fun will be had later tonight.

    BREAKING: MEGA MILITARY CONTRACTOR CAUGHT FAKING SATELLITE DATA TO TAKE DOWN STARLINK

    SpaceX just exposed a dirty ploy by Lockheed Martin and Omnispace to block Starlink’s direct-to-cell service.

    Lockheed’s partner allegedly rigged their aging satellite to fake interference and filed bogus FCC complaints, trying to stop Starlink from dominating the 5G space.

    In a bombshell FCC filing, SpaceX revealed how Omnispace manipulated its MEO satellite to “intentionally detect” Starlink signals—despite the satellite barely being operational.

According to a Source, it is believed the Documents were likely to have been Leaked Online by a Member of the U.S. Military; similar to the Leak of several Documents on the War in Ukraine which occurred in April of 2023, which was linked to a Airman in the Massachusetts Air National Guard.

    Something from the vault. A 2015 performance by The Warning in Hollywood. The girls were 15, 13 and 10 (!) here. Sure, they’re a little rough, but they played several original songs that ended up on their first album. I’m still having trouble wrapping my head around the fact that Ale was in 4th grade. When I was in 4th grade, I was struggling with the saxophone in band class (which I thankfully gave up soon after):

    @ Possum:
    Without being boring and posting the images I just did another test.

    “please generate an image of a skunk with red fur” and he is cute.

    Then asked AI this. “Please modify the image to blue fur” totally different skunk, different posture, different background.

    Now, what I would like as a bare metal programmer is to see what was passed to the AI image generation engine that produced the first image of a skunk with red fur and change that to blue. Leaving ALL other parameters the same.

    Ain’t possible….

    Why use a skunk as a test subject? People here will psych analyze me and do a deep and meaningful report into my childhood, my up bringing, my education and all my ex wives.

    Actual reality is when doing a test then you pick a baseline to work from and expand on that. Do not introduce any other variables.

    Skunk is the the initial test keyword. That should remain a constant in this experiment.

    Well, that has to be irritating. No I haven’t played with it yet. I know what happens to me when I get into coding. I go somewhere else mentally and am totally unreachable. Not good when things that breathe and need to be fed depend on you. The only time I used assembler on a regular basis was when I was developing using CICS. It was the only language you could use for the screen design. John Mashey had already created the interpreter for it but most shops had no idea and never installed it so you were on your own. I like the language, you could do anything with it, but god it was tedious.

    No idea. But I know of cases where 1 parent is American, another is, say, Canadian, and they happened to be born in Canada. So auto dual citizenship. There are also cases where marrying a non-American makes it much more convenient to also get citizenship in that country. I understand what you’re saying but sometimes there can be extenuating circumstances.

    You know those seven day flippy lid containers that really old people with dementia have so as to try to remember their medication daily?

    Well I have one of those, not for medication but vitamin and supplements and fishy oil capsules. When you sleep and wake at an odd and not regular schedule sometimes it is possible to wake up from a sleep twice in one day. Using one of those if computer says it is Sunday just check the Sunday compartment, if empty it is OK, if not take the pills. Easy!

    LOL glad I posted that! Found it! Under the bed.

    What inspired me was a couple of days ago woke up to find a cleaning sponge that I KNOW lives in a cabinet under the kitchen sink on the floor next to my computer.

    Last night Glen was going nuts in the lounge play fighting with something. My comb that lives in the bath room on the side if the sink.

    I think I found the root cause of my forgetting where things are.

    CATS!!!!!

    Now, as the cats have free access to outdoors, balcony window is open most of the time, front door is open at the moment.

    How much other of my shit has gone missing? This month alone I have ” misplaced ” a peach and two onions.

    To be fair I may have eaten the peach and the onions…

    @ Possum:
    Now in the real world the fact that a cat would steal a peach, or even be interested in a peach or any other type of fruit is not happening.

    But, let your imagination run free. In an alternate world controlled by artificial intelligence anything is possible.

    Lucy caught the culprit on camera. Proof cats like peaches. ( yes I will stop soon, but another example of AI distorting reality. I am more and more believing that AI generated images should have a watermark saying they are artificially generated. )

    As a cat expert and not an AI expert I can tell that image is fake.

    The fake cat’s pupils are constricted. A cat’s pupils are not designed to react to light intensity they are controlled by the cat.

    If a cat is doing sneaky shit, or is about to pounce their pupils dilate. Irrespective of the lighting conditions.

    That cat is not in the process of a felonious attempt to steal a peach.

    Currently 12oz of cooked cauliflower and a can of peas is in the slow cooker, going to be followed by the rest of the Good Value ( Walmart) Italian meatballs that were in the freezer and are in the air fryer at the moment.

    I have sour cream, grated parmesan and sharp cheddar. Plus of course Italian herbs, onion powder and black pepper.

    Cabbage for single people.

    When I used to go to the store I bought cabbages that were small enough to fit in my little slow cooker. Peel or the outer leaves and cut out the conical shaped inner stalky thing. Then put it in slow cooker, insert butter and salt and pepper into the hole where the stalk was and pour chicken broth around it. Then slow cook it for hours.

    Now if I order a cabbage I don’t know the size, and cutting it up involves sharp knives. So to be safe I do something different now.

    Arizona Officials: It Will Take Nearly 2 Weeks to Tabulate 2024 Election in Maricopa

    Officials in Arizona’s most populous county warned on Oct. 22 that it may take between 10 and 13 days to tabulate the results of the Nov. 5 election.
    County officials are asking “for the community’s patience,” Maricopa County Deputy Elections Director Jennifer Liewer said in a press conference on Oct. 22.

    “This year, we do expect that it will take between 10 and 13 days to complete tabulation of all of the ballots that come in,” she said.

    “We want to make sure that this is a secure process, but we also want to make sure that it is an accurate process.”

    Assistant Maricopa County Manager Zach Schira said at the press conference, “If I have one message for voters here today, it is this: that the longer ballots and higher interest in this 2024 general election will create longer lines on Election Day, and that’s okay.”

    Looks like that story about the NY Times’ owner refusing to allow an endorsement of Harris was true:

    Los Angeles Times Editor Resigns After Owner Blocks Kamala Harris Endorsement

    Mariel Garza, the editorials editor of the Los Angeles Times, resigned on Wednesday after the publication’s owner blocked an endorsement for Vice President Kamala Harris.

    Though the editorial board had planned to endorse Kamala Harris, owner Patrick Soon-Shiong, who bought the Los Angeles Times for $500 million in 2018, blocked the endorsement from happening. As Semafor reported:

    According to two people familiar with the situation, executive editor Terry Tang told editorial board staff earlier this month that the paper would not be endorsing a candidate in the presidential election this cycle, a decision that came from the paper’s owner Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong, a doctor who made his fortune in the healthcare industry.

    The paper did not explain its decision, though it noted at the bottom of its online endorsement page that “the editorial board endorses selectively, choosing the most consequential races in which to make recommendations.”

    An LA Times spokesperson told Semafor, “We do not comment on internal discussions or decisions about editorials or endorsements.”

    Mariel Garza later told Columbia Journalism Review that she would be resigning in protest of the paper remaining silent.

    “I am resigning because I want to make it clear that I am not okay with us being silent,” Garza said. “In dangerous times, honest people need to stand up. This is how I’m standing up.”

    Even the NY Times finally admits that Kamala Harris has no answers:

    Harris Calls Trump a Fascist: 6 Takeaways From Her CNN Town Hall

    Entering new rhetorical territory, the vice president turned even unrelated questions into attacks on Donald Trump as she offered long, winding answers to questions from voters.

    Kamala Harris called Donald J. Trump a fascist on Wednesday evening, elevating what until recently had been an argument made only in the lower ranks of a Democratic Party that has spent years attacking him as anti-democratic, unfit to serve and a criminal.

    Early in a CNN town hall in Pennsylvania, she readily agreed with the host, Anderson Cooper, when he asked whether she believed Mr. Trump met the definition of a fascist. “Yes, I do,” she quickly shot back. “Yes, I do.”

    Later, when asked about the plight of Palestinians in Gaza, she jumped into a loaded critique of her rival.

    “For many people who care about this issue, they also care about bringing down the price of groceries,” she said. “They also care about our democracy and not having a president of the United States who admires dictators and is a fascist.”

    Her comments — which went a step beyond her previous agreement that Mr. Trump was a fascist — were intended to amplify the news this week that John Kelly, Mr. Trump’s former White House chief of staff, said he thought the former president met the definition of the word and worried deeply about the threat a second Trump administration posed to democratic institutions.

    Ms. Harris’s attacks on Wednesday evening went largely unanswered: Mr. Trump declined both a second debate and an invitation from CNN to participate in a similar forum.

    Here are six takeaways from the town hall in Chester Township, Pa.

    Her default answer: Trump is far worse.

    Over the course of the 80-minute town hall, Ms. Harris was asked about a wide range of policy issues. Her answers often stuck to the same theme.

    Would she expand the Supreme Court? Would people who make $500,000 see their taxes increase? Would Americans pay for benefits for migrants crossing the border? How would she codify Roe v. Wade into federal law? And what about Gaza?

    Her answers boiled down to: Donald Trump would be worse.

    Something quite odd. I’m reading a biography of Pamela Harriman. She was Clinton’s ambassador to France when she died and a LOT more than that during her life. I thought I’d look for some interviews, found a few and started watching.

    I swore I’d heard that voice/accent before. She was British but her accent was a bit different and I couldn’t place where I’d heard it. Then it hit me – Jackie Kennedy??!!

    Pulled up one of her interviews and the accent is identical. The only thing I can think of is the schools. Both privately educated.

    Very odd.

    @ eaglesoars:

    Speaking of the NIH:

    Doctor won’t publish study showing no benefit from puberty blockers for fear it will be ‘weaponized’

    A researcher who received federal funds for a study on treating transgender youth with puberty blockers has refused to publish the results because she fears they could be “weaponized” to oppose gender-transition drugs for minors.

    Dr. Johanna Olson-Kennedy, medical director for the Center for Transyouth Health and Development at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, began the study in 2015 as part of a broader federal project on transgender health, which has received $9.7 million from the National Institutes of Health.

    The research found that the mental health of the subjects — 95 adolescents with an average age of 11 — who received puberty blockers was largely unchanged after two years, but she has yet to release the results.

    “I do not want our work to be weaponized,” she told the New York Times. “It has to be exactly on point, clear and concise. And that takes time.”

    Wednesday’s blockbuster report touched off an outcry on social media, with critics accusing the researchers and the agency of placing activism over scientific evidence.

    “This is not science. This is activism and the NIH should not be funding it,” Camilo Ortiz, a professor of clinical psychology at Long Island University, wrote on X. “A real scientist accepts what the data show and has an allegiance to the truth.”

    By publishing the results, however, Dr. Olson-Kennedy said she worried that foes would seize on them to argue that “we shouldn’t use [puberty] blockers because it doesn’t impact them,” meaning transgender youth.

    An NIH spokesperson told the Times that the agency leaves it to researchers to decide how and when to publish their results, although they are encouraged to do so.

    Monday we start again, well I do the cats don’t need to lose weight.

    A month ago I was down to a consistent 198-199 now I am a cuddly 205-206.

    I still was recording what I ate and drank on a daily basis but stopped logging the daily totals on the other sheet.

    Started to eat what I was craving. Bacon sandwiches, ham sandwiches, fries, mac and cheese etc. Daily calorie intake per 24hrs was often over 3000 which accounts for the weight gain. Also getting nice healthy red wine delivered. In a 5 liter box.

    On a totally unrelated subject a 5 liter box of Merlot is approximately 4100 calories. Magically it now disappears in 48hrs.

    LOL now, instead of a beer belly I have a wine belly!

    Here’s Peter Schiff’s take.

    Now @realDonaldTrump is advocating eliminating the income tax completely and replacing it with tariffs, which was how the federal government was funded prior to 1913. In fact, the 16th Amendment was ratified precisely to replace tariffs on the middle class with income taxes on the rich. However, in 1913, the federal government spent less than 2% of GDP. Today it spends over 24% of GDP. It’s impossible to fund the massive federal government we have now with the indirect tax system we had then. If Trump wants to return to the tax system we had prior to 1913, he would need to eliminate all the government programs enacted since then. That would really make America great again.

    I did not know this.

    Sub-Sаhаrаո Afrіcаոs contain up to 19% of, “ghost DNA”, from an extіnсt super-аrсhаіс hоmіոіd species, which anthropologists consider to likely be either Homo erectus or Homo habilis.

    Both of those hоmіոіd species are 1,000,000+ years older than other modern hоmіոіd species like Cro-Magnon and Neanderthal.

    Whites contain none of this super-аrсhаіс DNA, and are, instead, descendants of Cro-Magnon.

    From the perspective of modern anthropology, the different rасеs of humans are the result of intermixing between various hоmіոіd species over thousands of years, thus producing vastly different and distinct subsресіеs of human, also known as, “rасеs”.

    Ancient Wheel Origins Discovered in the Carpathian Mountains, nearly 7,000 years ago.

    The invention of the wheel stands as one of the most transformative milestones in human history, yet its origins remain largely enigmatic. Recent research suggests that the wheel was likely invented around 3900 B.C.E. by Neolithic miners in the Carpathian Mountains, an area rich in copper resources. This innovation arose from the practical need to transport heavy loads of ore, marking a significant leap in technological advancement.

    Historically, the wheel’s development has been attributed to various ancient civilizations, but the exact timeline and location have been subjects of debate.

    Grok does not know either.

    how many refugees entering europe come from iran
    Answer
    The number of refugees entering Europe specifically from Iran is not directly detailed in the information provided from the search results or X posts. However, we can infer some context:

    The broader statistics on migration to Europe indicate that in 2022, the EU saw asylum applications from various countries, with the highest numbers coming from Syria, Afghanistan, and Venezuela, but the data doesn’t specify Iran’s numbers in detail for recent years.
    Historical data from 2015 mentions an increase in asylum seekers due to conflicts in the Middle East, but does not specifically quantify the number from Iran.
    Recent sentiments and discussions on X mention migration issues, including from Iran, but these are more about general perceptions and specific instances rather than providing comprehensive statistics.

    Given this, while there are refugees from Iran entering Europe, the exact number or a precise breakdown isn’t available from the provided information. For accurate, current figures, one would need to look into more recent and detailed statistical reports from organizations like Eurostat or UNHCR.

    However Grok does make awesome images of skunks with red fur. I will not bore you with examples.

    Spain has huge problems with a lot of africans. France has Algerians and africans– hang over from their colonial past.

    I have yet to figure out why men do not object to THEIR children being sacrificed without their permission. I understand there are exceptions to that – e.g. a man who would use the child for control – that would be difficult to codify into law. But the silence is rather deafening.

    Remember that old argument “If men could get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament”? Now with the whole trans thing, it looks like men CAN get pregnant, so anybody want to start that fight again?

And I’ve seen way too many cases where DNA proves the guy is not the biologic father and the courts still stick him with 18 yrs of child support.

    Space Jammers … are GO!

    🙂

    These are offensive systems that can Jam ALL space Based systems and are considered as ‘Offensive’ because they don’t destroy actual communications and Intel systems permanently…. like the soon to be deployed Russian EMP systems that physically destroy current satellite comms systems. Using EMPs are now considered DEFENSIVE as everyone will go ‘dark’ regardless! The Jammers can be turned off and back on and this makes them highly usable and therefore ‘offensive’ as they can be easily used and won’t shut down everyone’s comms until replacements are replaced in orbit.

    Irrigation water and using a shallow well if it is legal where you live.

    There is usually a deep water table where you can drill a well and the water is pure and drinkable but the aquifer is a few hundred feet down and drilling the well costs thousands.

    Also there is quite often a shallow layer of water, about 15-30ft down.

    There are things called sand points or driven points which are pipes with a sharp pointy point on the end then a mesh screen. You pound them into the ground, connecting extension pipes as they go deeper. Then when you hit water connect a $100 shallow well pump to it.

    Ideal for irrigation use.

    If anyone here works for Roku I have a complaint.

    Yes I know Roku is a free streaming service and for it to be free there are advertisements every ten minutes lasting a minute to two minutes.

    Many adverts I see are for either diseases that old people get or adverts for local businesses. I am OK with that. When adverts are on I go pee or get another beer.

    What really annoys me is the server Roku uses to do the adverts in this area must be running Windows XP and be 20 years old. The one minute ad break takes 5 to 10 minutes with the buffering. Then the movie resumes buffering free.

    As usual it was one of the cheapest I could find. $6.42 per pound. Four 4oz individual portions.

In fact, the election worker told people in line to go to the Chester Heights satellite office because the line was shorter there. Do you know what happened when they got to the Chester Heights office to vote in person? They were told that they ran out of mib applications. This is voter suppression in Delaware County, Pennsylvania. I did nothing wrong except encourage people to stay in line and vote. So they arrested me. VOTE!

    BREAKING: The RNC just filed an emergency motion to the U.S. Supreme Court asking them to overturn a ruling from the Pennsylvania Supreme Court that UNLAWFULLY allows defective mail-in ballots to be counted

    “This case is of paramount public importance, potentially affecting tens of thousands of votes in a State which many anticipate could be decisive in control of the U.S. Senate or even the 2024 Presidential Election.”

    The PA Supreme Court recently created a rule out of thin air, subverting state law to allow erroneous mail-in ballots to be counted via provisional voting. Their ruling, in my opinion, clearly violated Article 1 Section 4 Clause 1 of the Constitution, which enumerates election oversight to state legislatures.

    Pennsylvania law specifies that “A provisional ballot shall not be counted if the elector’s [mail] ballot is timely received by a county board of elections.” The law does NOT direct election officials to give provisional ballots for mail-in ballots that arrive with a lack of signature, date, or secrecy envelope. Simply put, if a ballot shows up without following the rules, it CANNOT be counted AT ALL.

    The RNC wants SCOTUS to issue a pause against the PA court’s ruling or to issue an order “ordering that any provisional ballot cast by an individual whose mail ballot was timely received but defective (i) be segregated, and kept separate, from all other ballots and (ii) if counted, be counted separately and not included in the official vote tally.”

    The Supreme Court has been derelict in dealing with major election integrity questions. It’s time for them to WAKE UP and act for once. Only Justices Gorsuch, Thomas, & Alito have shown consistent interest.

    A few posts back and I said I would disclose why the presidential election voting thing in the USA was such a fuck up and takes so long, but I am bored and will tell you all now.

    Last post I advocated for legal permanent residents to be able to vote on issues that were relevant to where they lived and worked and got shot down in flames. I still believe that legal permanent residents should be able to vote for who is on the local school board where their children attend school.

    Anyway, in the rest of the civilised world an election is held with just one choice, who do you vote for as president. In the UK we do not vote for a prime minister we cast a vote as to who should be our representative in parliament.

    The majority of whichever party then chooses a prime minister. Simples! And fast, and easy to do and count. That is why the prime minister of the UK can change without a general election. The dominant political party appoints a leader, and can get rid of that person and pick a new one.

    Same with local elections, you choose your local council person and they do all the voting for mayor, dog catcher, sanitation engineer etc.

    Two boxes to put a mark in. 30 seconds max, you get through the polling booth faster than the turnstile in a New York subway station.

    In the USA you get to vote on everything! That is why when someone votes for a democrat president further down the ticket they vote democrat all the way and we get democrats elected that have no fucking clue about the job they are running for.

    Also, as to why the lines to vote are so long, just look at the ballot. In my county it is 19 pages long.

    @ Possum:
    As an example how some leaders are voted for and other important positions in US government are beyond a voter’s control.

    Vice president is not an elected position, not chosen by the electorate and can change during a presidential term.

    Speaker of the house is not elected by the people but chosen by the majority of the house of representatives. Does not even have to be an elected member of the house.

    So, 2nd and third people in line to be president are not actually elected by you common people.

    So I watched the full context of this Jeremy Raskin 2025 color revolution coup clip (it begins around 58:49)

    Raskin is FURIOUS at the Supreme Court for not going along with the ridiculous theory that Trump is disqualified from office on the basis of inciting the Jan 6 FEDsurrection

    To contextualize his grievance, he undertakes a mini lecture in pseudo con law history, whining about the Supreme Court not being an agent of positive social change until the Warren Court (wah wah Dred Scott wah wah Plessy Fergueson)

    Here’s where it does actually get wild— he says the job is now up to Congress to uphold Section 3 of 14th Amendment, by which he means uphold his theory that Trump is not qualified for office.

    And upholding in this context seems to mean not certifying EVEN IF TRUMP IS THE CLEAR WINNER

    “And then we all have body guards” due to “civil war conditions”

    Obviously Raskin is a nutjob but it is still concerning for a member of congress to have this position.

    His colleagues in Congress should be asked what their position on this is, and he should be condemned by Democrat leadership for this dangerous rhetoric.

    Pennsylvania is currently dropping off busloads of illegal migrants at polling stations and ushering them to the front to vote ON CAMERA. Someone tell me how America is not a 3rd world country thanks to Democrats

    https://x.com/WallStreetApes/status/1851470622859133233

    ILLEGAL “VOTERS” CUTTING THE LINE AGAIN!

    Look at this BS in Pennsylvania… swing state… it figures.

    BUSSES of non-english speaking “citizens” are guided past Americans who had been waiting in line for hours to cast their early votes.

    These people, all wearing Harris Walz stickers, were directed through the voting process by a handful of “translators”.

    DOES THIS SOUND LIKE THE AMERICA YOU GREW UP IN? HOW IS THIS CONSTITUTIONALLY LAWFUL?

    @ eaglesoars:
    Non-English speaking naturalized American citizens.

    They exist. If they are over 50 and have lived legally in the USA for 20 years or more.

    English Language Exemptions
    You are exempt from the English language requirement, but are still required to take the civics test if you are:

    Age 50 or older at the time of filing for naturalization and have lived as a permanent resident (Green Card holder) in the United States for 20 years (commonly referred to as the “50/20” exception).
    OR
    Age 55 or older at the time of filing for naturalization and have lived as a permanent resident in the United States for 15 years (commonly referred to as the “55/15” exception).
    Note:

    Even if you qualify for the “50/20” or “55/15” English language exceptions listed above, you must still take the civics test.
    You will be permitted to take the civics test in your native language.
    If you take the test in your native language, you must bring an interpreter with you to your interview.
    Your interpreter must be fluent in both English and your native language.
    If you are age 65 or older and have been a permanent resident for at least 20 years at the time of filing for naturalization, you will be given special consideration regarding the civics requirement.
    For more information, see the USCIS Policy Manual Citizenship and Naturalization Guidance.

    @ Possum:
    LOL I knows the laws and the rules.

    It is a misdemeanor if I am asked for ID and I am not carrying my Green Card.

    Fuck that. Mr Green Card stays in the house. If I loose it it costs $750 to replace, over six months of wait time and some deep and probing questions.

    @ Possum:
    A Green Card, they are a thing of beauty, a work of art. If you know someone who has one ask them if you can see it.

    The front is boring. Look at the back, you will need a strong magnifying glass or even better a microscope.

    I am proud of mine, and it stays in a safe place, behind the couch with the cat stuff.

    Tell me about it. Our daughter in law is from Uruguay. Either she doesn’t or she pretends she doesn’t speak English. Hubby’s son has to speak to her in Spanish. They have 2 children. How she communicates w/pediatricians, etc. I have no idea. They live in upstate NY, not exactly the United Nations of the northeast.

    They’ve told us they’re visiting for Christmas. Oh joy. If she doesn’t understand I word I say and can’t talk to me in English she will be treated as invisible.

    Watch the blowup. Epic

    @ eaglesoars:
    The reason I posted that diatribe about some naturalized real American citizens not being able to speak English but are real and legal citizens is they are over 55.

    Watching the video, no old people in it.

    And this continuation about the naturalization process and the ability of an applicant to be able to pass the verbal and written tests in english if they are under 50 goes back to the joke I made a week or so distorting the words of the National Anthem.

    At the end of the naturalizing ceremony every one has to sing the anthem.

    Even none English speakers know the last line.

    OK done with the American jokes and going to prepare supper.

    Tonight it is ratty off cut rejected as premium pork chops. The ugly ones in a $1.79 10 pound pack of rejects.

    Going to be boiled for a while, then smothered in BBQ sauce and baked and I am going to eat them with eyes closed and think of ribs.

    With mushrooms.

    Can’t find the mushrooms. There is a pound of them somewhere in apartment.

    They are probably hidden in a safe place…

    Doing an intense study of the American voting system while looking for the escaped mushrooms.

    What is the point of that primary voting thing that is done in the spring when the results mean nothing?

    Democrat primary Biden won, then he backed out of the November election.

    In my way of thinking then whoever was second in the spring primary should now be the November Democrat candidate.

    Off to locate the mushrooms…

    “If you take the test in your native language, you must bring an interpreter with you to your interview.
    Your interpreter must be fluent in both English and your native language.”

    What the hell ? So who is it actually answering the questions ?

    @ eaglesoars:
    That is how you cook ribs, slow heat with liquid and wrapped up in foil. The collagen breaks down and they become tender.

    Then you drain the resulting liquid and use it to saute mushrooms in.

    The ribs you coat the tender and falling apart ribs/chops with BBQ sauce and bake them at 400F to melt the tender fat and voila! perfect ribs.

    Glen just came home and said hello and was rubbing against my leg.

    I attempted to pick him up for a cuddle but he is heavy, must weigh over 20 pounds now of pure muscle.

    He is lucky I am not an Haitian immigrant.

    I has pork/ribs cooked.

    @ Possum:
    I actually did take photos of pork chops simmering in a liquid of onions and sage and whatever else I had for a couple of hours.

    AKA boiled in juice. Then they were removed from the liquid and sliced mushrooms which I found were added to the pork chop juice and slow cooked for a couple of hours. It makes tasty mushrooms!

    Now, I have delicious juicy pork chops that just need frying in a hot skillet and succulent mushrooms.

    Thankfully I has a fridge. And into it they go.

    2:18 meal is baked beans on toast. None of the fancy cooking shit.

    Almost all the meat we eat is vaxed. What happens to the vax in the meat when it’s cooked and is processed by the gastric juices in the stomach. Is the mRNA vax any different? I understand they’ve found metal in some samples but I assume that’s a contamination issue, as I can’t see it would serve a purpose.

    I don’t know….

    Nope, no animosity intended. I was seriously wondering how that works in that if the interpreter is a very smart person who already knows the answers by heart, how does anyone know if the person taking the test gave the wrong answer but a crazy lib interpreter isn’t substituting their own CORRECT answer to help the test taker pass?
    Man, this is IMPOSSIBLE to explain, lmao !! But do ya get what I’m saying ?
