@ eaglesoars:
That development actually makes wind power and solar power more attractive.
The issue with both is they are not constant.
Connecting EVs to the grid when they are not in use can supply electricity back to the grid. Charge them to 100% during periods of cheap electricity, discharge them back to the grid, to say 60%, when grid demand is higher and price per KWh is higher.
That would actually make a profit for an EV owner and stabilize the grid better.
Currently ( LOL I mades a funny ) the main issue with doing that is the charge/discharge cycles “wear” out the battery.

A weather and cat post.
As you all know the breaker at the end of the apartment block where I live that is by my electricity meter is old and knackered. Last month when it was a little bit cold I turned on the central heating and about 30 mins later it tripped. A 100A breaker.
I can go into advanced details of how breakers work, it is a heat thing, but I won’t.
Asked for it to be replaced, and fuck all happened. Probably going to have to do it myself, got to take the electrical box apart and see what type. They are about $40
So, the story. To keep my electricity consumption low so as not to trip the old and faulty breaker I ordered a 1500W heater from Walmart at 11:14am It arrived at 11:55am.
LOL Walmart kicks Amazon ass.
Anyway the $16 heater is working great. Just enough to keep me happy. Last night low 31F and I survived due to extra blankies. Currently 43F and expected low of 30F.
Well, the cat part. Anything new, strange, not where it should be gets a tiny squirt from Glen. However depending on the degree of strangeness sometimes it is not a tiny squirt but a full on huge cat bladder fire hose event.
Glen has already discovered the new thing in our lives. I know he is going to mark it as his eventually.
Dilemma, should I unplug it when not in use? Should I yell at him when he is reversing into it when his tail is in the air? Should I just let him piss on it and find out what 120v feels like?
Note to potential cat owners. Female cats are really bitchy and affectionate sometimes but reliable in the pissing and shitting thing.
Male cats are fucking nuts.

@ Possum:
I have a female cat. Cats can understand over 120 words and can ignore all of them. She does.
I have a male cat that is more like a young puppy than a cat. I think me patting him on his head and saying ” Nice puppy ” may have something to do with it.
The difference between male and female cats is very noticeable.
Not saying my male cat is stupid. When it is bed time I lay in bed and with headphones on then catch up with X and maybe watch a car chase or two on Youtube while male cat sits on my chest.
When I am done then turn of phone, take headphones off and male cat jumps off the bed and goes to where he sleeps. He knows we are done.
However! Funny times are when I put phone down, take off headphones, he then goes to his sleeping place and I just did it to get up to go pee.
LOL, and back on my chest he comes.

They did not specifically mention cats but the “essential to never leave them unattended” was an obvious reference to cats…
@ eaglesoars:
I see nothing to indicate that Thune’s done anything about Schiff.
Well, it is afternoon nap time. Primarily due to the fact that heater was $16 and minimum order is $35 for free delivery so a 5L box of Merlot was added, and a 100 pack of tea bags.
*burp*
Box that little heater came in has had its flaps cut off so it fits as a protective cover over the heater. Got to remember to unplug it before I cover it with the box.

It’s absolutely true. If they’d been held anywhere in the US, they would have been afforded the same rights as any other accused criminal.

If they’d been sent to any other overseas military base, they would have been subject to pressure from the host nation. Guantanamo is unique in that regard, since we really don’t care what the Cubans think.

I have an idea. The 1st time we catch an illegal and are in the process of deporting him/her we tattoo them on the back of the hand where it’s visible. Name, country of origin, date of deportation, where found, etc. I assume that can all be embodied in a bar code, QR code or something like that.
No one can rent to them, employ them because it will be obvious. It would cut down on them trying to re-enter because they’re marked.
whadya think? I’m tired of reading stories about an illegal who has been deported five times was arrested for trying to kidnap a teenage girl

As to identifying people are they just letting people in that are technically ” undocumented ” without fingerprinting them, photographing them and taking a DNA sample?
If so, then we get what we deserve.

In a replay of Baltic Sea undersea infrastructure attacks by Chinese ships in October of 2023 and November 2024, a Chinese-associated ship has now destroyed a major undersea cable off Taiwan. On Friday, January 3, at about 1240 hours local time, Chungwha Telecom noticed an outage from its Trans-Pacific Express (TPE) Cable, which it owns and operates with AT&T, China Telecom, China Unicom, Chunghwa Telecom, KT, NTT, and Verizon. The location was just outside the 12-mile limit of territorial waters of Taiwan,

Tonight I am doing a real life, real time enactment of Apollo 13.
The part where they try to restore power to the systems in the command module. Things are tense. “don’t go over 24 Amps! ”
Main breaker outside is worn out, well past its sell by date and trips after about 20 minutes of me using central heating, and takes a while to cool down before I can re-set it. Apartment people said they would replace it, a month ago. Looks like I will have to do it myself.
Anyway, the $16 1500W heater I bought is keeping me warm, while wearing a T shirt, two sweat shirts, sweatpants under jeans.
Using air fryer 1500W to cook some pork. Air fryer is not proportional it is an on/off thingy. So, if air fryer and heater happen to be on at the same time then 3000W , will that trip the outside breaker?
Not risking it.

This week, the U.S. Forest Service directed its employees in California to stop prescribed burning “for the foreseeable future,” a directive that officials said is meant to preserve staff and equipment to fight wildfires if needed.
The pause comes amid the crucial fall window for planned, controlled burns, which remove fuel and can protect homes from future wildfires — raising concerns that the move will increase long-term fire risks.
“There are two times in the year when it’s safe to do prescribed fire: in the fall right before the rains come, and in the spring when things are dry enough to burn but not dry enough to burn it in a dangerous way,” said Michael Wara, energy and climate expert at Stanford University. He worries half of the prescribed fire season on federal lands will be sacrificed because of this decision.

Here’s their problem. If they are going to allow China to exploit
Greenland then they are going to have a problem with Trump. They are going to have to fish or cut bait. Trump is not going to fall for ‘Greenland is not for sale’ when they’re selling out to China.

OK a food post.
Did the half pork loin that had a eat or freeze date of 14th Jan.
Chopped off four chunks at 200g each, that is just over half a pound. I am getting good at estimating weights, and yes I did weigh them. Into sandwich bags they went with some chicken broth to mitigate freezer burn, then all four went into a gallon ziplock marked as ” pork”
The remaining 425g which is about a pound is wrapped in foil, seasoned with sage and onion powder, and in air fryer at 350F for 40 minutes.
The whole pork thing cost me $6.52 and lots of meals!
Anyway, the reason for this post is why is canned cat food not available in pig flavour?

You is good, and if I typed faster with more fingers I would have beated you to the answer.
I am a strong believer that vital infrastructure should be a nationally owned and operated thing.
In the UK the postal system, electricity generation, telecommunication network, rail network etc used to be a government thing then they got sold off and privatised. Lots of companies.
In the US it has been like that for decades. Electricity generation and distribution is an example. Currently the focus in Texas is can the private corporations keep our lights on during this cold spell?
Why should they bother if it hurts their profit margin?
So, I am all for vital infrastructure being nationalised, the communist way.
EXCEPT for USPS. That nationally government owned and run organisation should die a sudden and horrible death. Useless….
LOL you guessed it, I have a package due today. USPS, the lord only knows where it will end up. UPS, FedEx, Walmart, Amazon deliver a package to my door.
USPS deliver to the apartment complex office, or pretend there is no one at the apartment to receive the package or say the address is wrong and return it to sender.
I know why, the mail person weighs in at well over 400lbs, the silly little mail truck leans over to one side when it goes past!

I will not bore you with the details but I got three big burgers and one insanely big burger delivered for actually less money than if I went to the store and bought them.

For anyone buying burgers in bulk so you can take them apart and re-incarnate them into a delicacy then….

Round 2 of chemo on Thursday. Her hair is very thin already. Appetite has come back, just in time to start getting sick again.
And her follow up with the trauma surgeon about her broken humerus is next Wednesday. We either find out everything looks good, find out we need to wait another six months, or find out she’ll need to have the whole damn thing replaced. If it’s replacement, that might have to be put on hold while she finishes up her chemo.

Thanks to a lawsuit by some pilots at American Airlines, a major federal court ruling just put corporations and money management firms on notice that it is a violation of federal law to misappropriate employees’ investment accounts to pursue the radical ESG agenda.
Think about the magnitude of that final sentence. American Airlines chose to use the personal savings of its employees’ 401k plan “to benefit a party other than the Plan participants.” Misuse of money by a custodian to which it has been entrusted is a form of theft, and that is what American Airlines and Black Rock did to American Airlines employees. The same is true for every other company allowing Black Rock to mismanage money in service to its anti-freedom political agenda.
Every corporation that uses Black Rock (and State Street, etc) better start taking a hard look at how those money managers are using proxy votes to illegally advocate for ESG.
Black Rock and its diabolic CEO, Larry Fink, should start lawyering up, since a federal court is now acknowledging that the company deliberately abandoned its fiduciary responsibilities to pursue a political agenda that negatively affected the retirement accounts and savings of millions of victims.

Here’s where it gets serious: thanks to extradition laws signed by former Labour PM Tony Blair, it’s now easier for UK citizens to be sent to the US to face charges.
Patel could potentially be charged with:
Election Interference
2️⃣ Failure to Register as a Foreign Agent (FARA)
3️⃣ Conspiracy to Commit an Offense Against the US
4️⃣ Cybercrime or Unauthorized Access
5️⃣ Transporting Funds for Unlawful Purposes
6️⃣ Interstate Travel to Aid Unlawful Activities
If convicted, these charges carry severe penalties, including significant fines and prison time. Is Patel now terrified she’ll be extradited and prosecuted under US law?

British pubs could ban customers talking about RELIGION and criticizing TRANSGENDER people, under new plans by the UK’s authoritarian government.
Labour’s proposed workers’ rights reforms could lead to a ban on customers discussing topics deemed ‘controversial.’
Under the proposed reforms, employers could face legal action if they fail to protect staff from harassment by “third parties” such as customers.
Under the proposed legislation, harassment is defined as “unwanted conduct that has the purpose or effect of violating the recipient’s dignity or creating an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive environment.”

The Spanish phrase, which translates in English to commander in chief, has been criticized as unduly deferential to the communist strongman who presided over various human rights abuses.
“I have talked to my colleagues in the House about that, and it’s certainly something that I would not say again,” Bass said. “I have always supported the Cuban people, and the relationship that Barack Obama and Biden had in their administration in terms of opening up relations.”

“Still other elements are invisible — yet critical. The walls of the house have a one-hour fire rating.” Sounds impressive, but that’s common practice. 2×4 studs at 16″ o/c with 5/8″ Type X gypsum board on the interior and exterior plaster gives you that rating. Tbe author says the windows were tempered glass, but I suspect he meant laminated tempered glass – the latter prevents pressure blow outs and penetration by flying debris.
The attic is required to be ventilated, but if there are no exterior vents, then the attic is ventilated via the HVAC system. A Class B roof is required, but a Class A roof is better. Pressure-treated wood for the exterior decks and trim is an upgrade. Eliminating eaves to prevent wind eddies is a new one for me, but then I’ve never designed a custom house.
The homeowner suffered a previous fire, and that justified the cost of the upgrades.

“On the morning of October 7th, Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar submitted a letter of resignation to Prime Minister Netanyahu. He submitted his resignation because of two very important facts, one, Shin Bet’s absolute responsibility for the failed collection of information from Gaza. The second thing is that he depended on a source of information that misled him and as a result, the IDF Chief of Staff, who received erroneous information from him, decided not to activate the necessary systems for the defense of the State of Israel. The political factor on which the Shin Bet chief relied is the head of Egyptian intelligence. He deliberately misled us and caused 1,200 people to be murdered and 250 kidnapped. The Shin Bet chief trusted him completely on the eve of the massacre and this is the most serious secret that is being hidden from us.”

They originally booked one show on February 7th. Tickets went on sale last March. Sold out all 10,000 seats in one hour. Then they added a second show on February 11th. That sold out in less than a day. Finally, they announced a third show on February 7th back in November. I was able to snag a fairly decent seat, and figured I’d work out the rest of the details later.

Interesting fact.
If you are an American citizen and you go overseas to work, say in Belgium, for a few years. You are required to file a tax return and have to declare your income you got in Belgium and you will be taxed on it.
Belgium will tax you on what you are paid when there. Hey that is only fair. But the IRS also wants a cut.
Maybe that is why when the 10 or so mega stars who say they are leaving the country if Trump gets elected renounce their American citizenship.
Even if you leave forever and go live in a remote corner of the planet you STILL have to file US taxes and pay.
Once an American citizen always an American citizen. Pay your taxes!

Hiya Eagles.
You should be happy that your man is NOT freezing his ass off in DC on Monday
i have serious concerns given the weather generated change in venue indoors. This concentrates the security footprint which is good news given the holes in manning and standards. I’m still scared shitless as the attack profiles also simplifies the planning for a massive building attack profile with huge numbers of VIPs concentrated in a relative smaller footprint.
I hope that alternative venue security planning has been done professionally but given recent SNAFU amongst security services, I an NOT overly confident. Last minute venue security changes from outdoors to indoors makes me nervous. I know that various venue plans have been worked again and again. I just am not over confident that the plan B has no holes. The huge concentration of VIPs and their concentration inside the Capitol makes a juicy target for a massive building strike. Glad your man is tucked up safe and warm at home watching the proceedings on TV.
@ eaglesoars:
On the downside i have a serious security concern. Daughter is considering a job offer in EGYPT! She is batshit crazy even thinking of considering this. I told her so in no uncertain terms. What is she thinking? She’s toying with being snatched as a hostage or worse. This is madness writ large. I worry about her being close to London right now. She’ll be back in NZ again early next month and I’ll get my tame former Aussie Spook Director to talk some sense into her. She thinks she is bulletproof. She’s WRONG in so many ways!

Since 2020, the federal debt has ballooned by an astonishing $13 trillion.
