I do butter my toast when making beans on toast. The secret is let the toast cool first before buttering, otherwise the butter makes the toast soggy.
Then apply hot bake beans to the cool toast and visible butter on its surface the beans then melt and mingle with the butter.
Basically hot toast should not be buttered, cool toast and butter is awesome.

BREAKING: Kash Patel just sent a legal notice to Mike Pence’s advisor, Olivia Troye, to immediately retract the defamatory statements she made about him or face massive legal action.
On Joyles Reid’s segment, Troye said, “Kash Patel is a delusional liar. And he would lie about intelligence. He would lie about making things up on operations. I think Mark Esper has talked about that as well. Where he put the lives of Navy SEALs at risk in an operation when it came to Nigeria.”
In their letter, Patel’s lawyers said, “Litigation will be filed against you if you fail to publicly retract defamatory statements you made about Mr. Patel on MSNBC on December 2, 2024… These comments include that Mr. Patel would “lie about intelligence” and would “lie about making things up on operations” to the point where Mr. Patel “put the lives of Navy Seals at risk when it came to Nigeria,” and that Mr. Patel was even misinforming Vice President Mike Pence.
“This is a complete fabrication, and you know it is false by virtue of your former position in the White House. At no point did Mr. Patel ever lie about national intelligence, place Navy Seals at risk, or misinform the Vice President.”

WHY THE SPECIAL PAYMENTS TO MICHAEL BYRD? Byrd is the U.S. Capitol Police (USCP) officer who shot and killed Ashli Babbit during the January 6, 2021, riot on the Capitol grounds.
Just the News’s Steve Richards reported earlier this week that Byrd received substantially more financial and other assistance than any other USCP officer on duty during the riot. Byrd got a $37,000 retention bonus, help with $160,000 in private fundraising, housing, and a promotion to captain.
Today, Richards quotes the head of the USCP Union asking some very tough questions for which the incoming-House GOP leadership should demand answers from Democratic leaders of the 117th Congress, including most especially then-Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).
First question: Why did Pelosi, then-House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) and Rep. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio) pressure the USCP leadership to go to extraordinary lengths to keep Byrd quiet?
“Not sure what makes Mike Byrd so special that he thinks he needed to be ‘taken care of’ by the Department. USCP should give every officer a $37k bonus or have Mike Byrd pay it all back,” USCP Union Chairman Gus Papathanasiou told Just The News.

Senator John Kennedy “Under current VA policy, if a veteran who defended this country has to go to the VA and ask for help managing his or her financial affairs, the VA automatically reports that veteran to the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System, we call it NICS, and that veteran loses his firearm. He loses his firearm automatically. No due process. No questions asked.”
“This decision has not been made by a judge. It’s being made by a bureaucrat.”
“All our amendment would do would be able would be to say, um, the VA, just because you’ve asked for help with your money, cannot automatically take away your firearm or report you to NICS.”

I haz my own story, will tell later. But first….
Why tech moguls supported Trump. Joe Rogan interview w/Andreesen. He attended some WH meetings. We really dodged a bullet.
“They were taking us through their plans, and it was – basically just full government – full government control. Like this sort of thing, there will be a small number of large companies that will be completely regulated and controlled by the government, they told us. They said don’t even start startups – there’s just no way that they can succeed – there’s no way that we’re going to permit that to happen.”
Rogan gasped.
But Andreessen wasn’t finished. “They said that this [control of AI] is already over. It’s going to be two or three companies and we’re just gonna control them and that’s that. Like this is already finished.”
Debanking
“This administration [Biden] extended that concept to apply it to tech founders, crypto founders, and just generally political opponents,” Andreessen said. They use it “primarily against their political enemies and then to their disfavored tech startups. … We’ve had like 30 tech founders debanked in the last four years. It’s been a big recurring pattern.”
Summing up, he noted, “This is one of the reasons we ended up supporting Trump. … We can’t live in a world where somebody starts a company that’s a completely legal thing and they literally get sanctioned and embargoed through the United States government through a completely unaccountable [authority].”
He added, “By the way, no due process. None of this is written down. There’s no rules. There’s no court. There’s no decision process. There’s no appeal. Who do you appeal to?”

Ambulance took me to the nearest hospital (we have 2). Hours in the ER. Saw the doc once, gave me one dose of hydrocodone which lasted 90 mins. Never saw him again. Next thing I know I’m being admitted for – COVID. WTF? I don’t have COVID. They took blood and urine samples but that was it.
The dumped me in a bed and left me there. The only med personnel I saw were ‘intern nurses’ who did nothing more than pop into the room every 4 hours, ask if I was ok and then wrote their names on a white board and the time they had checked in. I begged for pain meds. After 1 day they gave me – MIDOL! They wouldn’t let me husband in because COVID.
On the 3rd day they told me I was being discharged. WHY? There’s been no improvement, I haven’t seen a doc. BECAUSE THAT’S ALL YOUR INSURANCE WILL PAY FOR.
I couldn’t walk even with a walker, so they put me in a wheelchair and wheeled me out to my husband.
Next morning I got an emergency visit w/ my PA, Mrs. Knight who is wonderful. She said “I’ve looked at your hospital records, I don’t need to diagnose you, the diagnosis is in the records. You have a UTI and I’m gonna fix you right up.”
I mean, Jesus, there was blood in the urine!
2 hours after taking her pain med I could walk and 10 days on whatever antibiotic that was all done!
That motherfucker doctor was on the COVID gravy train. He could have killed me. His name is Monty Hall and if I ever run into him again it will be with my car.

By agreeing to dismiss Count 1 on the prosecution’s motion, the judge in the Penny case is effectively rewriting the jury verdict form. He’s letting the jury deliberate on Count 2, criminal negligence, without first reaching a verdict of not guilty on Count1, as required by the verdict form. The defense will appeal if Penny is convicted on the lesser charge.
https://x.com/KingMakerFT/status/1865149327988912361
Some are calling this a set up for a compromise verdict. I think it’s somewhat different. If the jury followed the terms of the verdict form, there has yet to be any deliberations on Count 2. Penny proponents on the jury will now know that if they stick to their guns, there will be a mistrial. Starting from scratch again leaves no room to compromise, as the defense-leaning jurors have already succeeded on Count 1. Going forward on Count 2 alone makes this an all or nothing case.

Iran has apparently begun withdrawing its troops from Syria. Looks like Assad’s days are numbered
@ lobo91:
Three Iranian Officials have told the New York Times that they have begun the Evacuation of Senior Military Leaders and Personnel from Syria, in anticipation of the Imminent Collapse of the Assad Regime. Top Commanders of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and its Quds Force have left Syria for refuge in both Lebanon and Iraq; in addition, Iranian Military Personnel, Diplomatic Staff and their Families, as well as Iranian Civilians began to be Evacuated on Friday, with their departure being ordered by the Iranian Embassy in Damascus and IRGC Leadership.. Some of the Evacuations took place via Commercial Flights between Damascus and Tehran, while others used Lands Routes with Lebanon, Iraq and the Syrian Port of Latakia.

At the week #6 stage having the quite sore that necessitates the odd codeine support, when it’s getting to the owww stage on occasion. The 7” scar-line feels slightly warm to the touch compared to the non-operative knee, and the scar feels that it’s healing some of the damage inflicted by the surgery. Very experienced nurse practicioner and pharmacist keeping her a watching brief until her next surgeon’s visit. She insists on doing a one day work-day Wednesday. She did a 2 hour sit down visit to the school labs on Week #5. Thought she was nuts!
Frankly I think she should visit the surgeon a couple of weeks before the nominated scheduled visit if the slight warmth doesn’t pass, and she has bouts of having to depend on codeine for a day or two on occasion
She had about a 400 metre walk to get from a street parking hill to the Northern Club for 6 year old Rohan’s Christmas party with Mr. Clause in attendance. Magical elf and bouncy castle inside the Club’s ballroom and a dozen elf associates making masses of bubbles, balloon animals, a room of different ice creams, Finger food , …..

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces conducted dozens of precision airstrikes targeting known ISIS camps and operatives in central Syria, Dec. 8.
The strikes against the ISIS leaders, operatives, and camps were conducted as part of the ongoing mission to disrupt, degrade, and defeat ISIS, in order to prevent the terrorist group from conducting external operations and to ensure that ISIS does not seek to take advantage of the current situation to reconstitute in central Syria.
The operation struck over 75 targets using multiple U.S. Air Force assets, including B-52s, F-15s, and A-10s.
Battle damage assessments are underway, and there are no indications of civilian casualties.
CENTCOM, together with allies and partners in the region, will continue to carry out operations to degrade ISIS operational capabilities even during this dynamic period in Syria.
“There should be no doubt – we will not allow ISIS to reconstitute and take advantage of the current situation in Syria,” said General Michael Erik Kurilla, “All organizations in Syria should know that we will hold them accountable if they partner with or support ISIS in any way.”

Papa blanca or roughly translated white potato. I have been buying these from the local convenience store $1.29 a pound.
Just thought they were nice potatoes, I boil them for about 20 minutes in salted water then let them cool. Cut them into quarters and put them into a gallon ziplock bag and coat them with coconut oil. The ziplock is re-usable, it goes in the freezer when its job is done.
Potatoes are then air fried at 400F for 20 minutes and the result is awesome tasting and slightly sweet roasted potatoes!
After Googling papa blanca it seems the real ones come from Peru and are different to USA potatoes.

And yes, they cook differently and taste different to regular Walmart potatoes of all colours I actually Googled them.

If anyone remembers I also have an addiction to the little oranges they sell at the store for 79 cents each. They are a kind of cross between a mandarin and a satsuma. They are also from Peru.
Just used Google maps to see where Peru is. It is a long way away from Texas.

We just got back from the oncologist office, and she will be going through four rounds of chemo every three weeks. It’ll probably start in late December.
The DNA testing they did given an indication of about an 85% Chance of no recurrence without chemo to as much as 90 to 95% with it. They’ll be doing the chemo, then the radiation, and then something else. Endocrine, maybe?

Before my afternoon nap I was going to eat some Peruvian roast potatoes and liver and onions but changed my mind.
A couple of grilled cheese and onion and bologna sandwiches were desired.
Side note, I buy sharp or extra sharp cheddar and recently it does not seem to be as tangy as I remember it so I have to sharpen it up with a smear of horse radish.
Sandwiches were nasty! Texture all wrong. Bologna was the cause, it is OK cold in a cold sandwich but hot is nasty. So, sandwiches dismantled and bologna into the trash.
I am a gourmet chef, I specialise in International cuisine and I knows things.
Not only is taste an important factor in creating awesome food then so is texture.

Glass bottles are fuck all use in recycling. It takes as much energy to melt and recycle a glass bottle as it takes to make new glass.
Not taking into account the impurities and different colours of the recycled glass.
HOWEVER! as far back as 1974 when I was working a summer job at a dairy then we did a weekly run to a glass recycling place in England to drop off all the chipped glass milk bottles.
They melted the glass, did something to it and made it into tiny beads. That was then mixed with paint and used on roads.
In the UK the road markings really glow in the dark when your head lights light them up. Them glass beads in the paint.
In the US not as common.

A USPS post.
As you all probably know whenever I order something online and get a notification it has been shipped via USPS my heart sinks as I know there will be problems.
USPS here does not deliver packages to my door but dump them at the office. I know why, the USPS person is the size of a large whale and has difficulty even getting out of the mail truck.
UPS, FedEx, Walmart, Amazon delivers to my door.
Anyway, today I was expecting a USPS delivery, Five cartons of smokes. Yep, expensive but should last me about 2 months so I do not have to walk to the store past the scary homeless people that demand money.

Actually women are better pilots in fighter aircraft as they are generally smaller. So the effects of extreme G forces on their bodies are less.
That is why Tom Cruise is such an awesome pilot, he is about 5ft 6 inches and 130 lbs.

Made me think, When I lived in Iowa a very good supper was called Hobo supper.
You thinly slice onion and potato and anything else that needs eating and place it on aluminium foil and top it with a beef Pattie. and wrap it up in the foil and put it in the oven for an hour or so.
I think authentically the foil packet should be placed in the glowing embers of a fire in an homeless encampment.
Would work in a submarine. The cooking is enclosed in the foil, no odour etc.
Oh, and a couple of days ago I got robbed.
Hey my fault. I prop the door open with a jug of laundry detergent which is not laundry detergent any more but water. The other side of the door is restrained with a gallon of water.
Cats, I have cats. They are free to go do cat stuff as they desire.
Well, Saturday I noticed the door was open more than usual. Maybe the wind did it. Later that evening went to get a nice cold beer and…. Beer missing!
It seems someone came through the partially open door and absconded with a 30 pack of Busch Light that was by the partially open door.
I was violated!
So, I used to do computery stuff and I just did an audit of what computery stuff I have in stock and it seems I have two GoPro cameras, a security camera and some kick ass motion sensors and more Arduinos than any reasonable and sane person needs.
So, new project. Set up all cameras, get the shit working and bait the thief.

So, it looks like the key detail the media/Democrats are going to focus on from the NYC killer is the fact that he apparently used some sort of unserialized gun (AKA “ghost gun”). Does not having a serial number make a gun more powerful?
The big concern is supposedly the fact that it can’t be traced. But the dumbass had the gun on him when he was arrested. No trace needed.
So WGAF?
It is pretty amusing watching all the self-appointed “experts” backtrack from their original pronouncement that the gun used was a B&T Station Six, though. Those things are rare as hen’s teeth, very expensive, and are NFA items because of the integral suppressor.
Nobody’s ever used one in a crime, and probably never will.

@ eaglesoars:
The B&T Station Six is a magazine-fed bolt action 9mm pistol with a built-in suppressor (silencer). It sort of looks like a semi-auto, but it doesn’t have a slide. Instead, there’s a knob at the back of what would be the slide that you rotate 90 degrees and pull back to eject the spent cartridge and then push forward and turn to load the next round. Since there’s no moving slide, it decreases the noise considerably.
The reason people thought that was the gun used is because the shooter had to manually work the slide after each shot. On the fairly low-resolution video, it sort of looked like a bolt action. The reason he had to manually work the slide was because it was a POS pistol/suppressor combo that he wasn’t smart enough to properly set up.

For anyone following my computer saga which started in August when my laptop had a hard drive failure and the only way I had to replace the hard drive and re-install Windows was to buy a refurbished HP desk top which came with a monitor for $135 and create a recovery USB thingy.
Refurbished desktop was awesome! came with a kick ass refurbished Dell monitor, then Glen pissed on it.
So, bought another refurbished HP desktop of the same type. Stripped the pissed on desktop down to the individual parts and isopropyl alcohol them to clean off the cat piss and let it all dry.
Anyway, end result is got the cat piss computer running, laptop running and other HP desktop running.
Cat piss computer is really fast so that is my main one. A few weeks ago it started randomly stopping. No blue screen, just stopped. Annoying but powering off then back on and we were good to go. Thought it may be CPUs overheating due to the fact that when I took the motherboard out to wash cat piss off it I had to take the heatsink off and did not have any heat sink slime when I re-assembled it. Installed a CPU temperature monitor but CPU temps normal. 50C when running it hard.
So, installed Malwarebytes to look for a virus etc. All OK.
All Windows updates up to date.
On 8th December just for shits and giggles I did the optional driver update thingy on Windows update.
Not had a crash since. Kicking myself that I selected all optional driver updates at the same time not each one individually.
Anyway, my theory is one of the latest Windows updates decided not to play nice with one of the hardware drivers I had. The reason for the cat piss computer suddenly deciding to freeze up randomly.
So, basically do not ignore the optional driver updates. Or don’t let your cat piss into the back of your computer, or both…

From first hand experience. It is a total eambugurance and just stuffs up front line units. Brigade / Battle groups and below are not suitable for females. For a period we even had females down to Battalion level and it was just stupid. Even at Battle Group level (about 3500 strong they just got in the way). They made good signallers and their voices carried in poor comms conditions as the frequency mix of their voices carried. They made good intelligence operators as well in selected specialities. Physically they were just not strong enough to cut it however. They distracted males from their own tasks because they couldn’t do the physical work load and guys would step in to help them do physical tasks, and that lowered the males’ as they were double tasking.
Even inside a Brigade HQ females couldn’t do their tasks when in the field and overall efficiencies fell across formations. The Israelis trialed mixed units below Divisional lever for years and it always ended in lower levels of combat efficiencies. Females were useful in Primary Interrogation Units but not below Division. Possum is also correct as physically females were better suited pulling heavy G loads that burley male jock fighter pilots.
There was always the odd female athlete who could match the average male in tough field conditions but as their numbers were very low they were more of an administrative problem and had a negative effect on overall unit cohesion. Not from a sexual problem but guys tended to naturally shield females from the rigours of the field and that protective attitude lowered the males overall efficiencies. Males tended to naturally protect females and that distracted males from doing their own tasks.
Recently I watched a Commando Company that had the odd female in their ranks, attached to an SAS Regiment. The Commando Company did anti-terrorist duties that relieved the SAS for their prime tasking of strategic reconnaissance and long range patrolling. These females were as strong as the average male Commando, but the tasking saw their Commandos centrally deployed to Corps level duties in HQs. These females were true athletes and could cut the mustard, but their numbers were microscopic and they would never have been posted to a Commando unit away from the Counter-terrorist speciality.
That’sjust the way it is and you can’t pretend otherwise for political or ideological reasons

Can you believe this is a US NAVY Recruiting Office in Alhambra, CA? EVERY recruiter here is Chinese, as well as all the people coming to enlist. The working language here is also Chinese.
The video was filmed by a Chinese language YouTuber, and the US NAVY recruiter who took him there to film all this is EN2 QLANG WANG.
In the description box of this video on YouTube, which was uploaded on Dec 1, 2024, QLANG WANG’s contact information is provided, and what concerns me is that the first option listed is his WeChat ID. The telephone number of the office comes as the second choice.
As all data on WeChat is controlled by the CCP, this at least gives the CCP access to the personal data of all those who apply to join the US NAVY and who are admitted.
The second question is: Why is this office staffed exclusively by Chinese individuals?
The other day, I shared a video where a Chinese-American military member said that if the US goes to war with China, he would quit the US army because he doesn’t want to fight against China.
If all these Chinese people recruited through this office feel the same, what will happen?
And a worse-case scenario is: What if some of them are recruited by the CCP as spies? Or perhaps they already are spies?
One thing I am sure of, from listening to their accent, is that they all come from mainland China, everyone in this video.
And the title of the original Chinese language video is: “How Desperate Are Chinese People to Join the US Military? They’re Overwhelming Recruitment Offices, Each with Their Own Reasons for Enlisting”
The Chinese word used is “中國人”, which can be translated as Chinese people, or more precisely, people from PRC, or people of PRC. In the mind or subconsciousness of the YouTuber who shot this video, all these people still belong to the PRC.

I seriously doubt that anything in that comment is actually true.
No new contract was signed for F-35 production last month. There was a “handshake” deal agreed to about the unit price for the next two batches of aircraft to be built. And it was nowhere near $1 trillion (probably under $1 billion).
Cancelling the F-35 program at this point would throw the Air Force, Navy and USMC fighter programs (not to mention those of most of our allies) into chaos, because there’s nothing else in the pipeline. It’s not like a city switching from Ford police cars to Dodges.

@ eaglesoars:
One really misleading thing you’ll hear about the F-35 program is its cost. People like to bring up the projected lifecycle cost of around $2 trillion without explaining what that actually pays for. That’s the anticipated cost of designing, building, maintaining and FLYING the F-35 fleet for its planned service life. Which, by the way, is projected to be until 2088.
I’m sure there were people complaining about the cost of the B-52 when it was introduced, too. If they’d only flown for 5 or 10 years, they might have been correct. But here it is almost 2025, and we’re still flying them (and plan to continue for at least another 25 years). It turned out to be a pretty good ROI.
