09:17 – Things are pretty quiet around here. We have friends arriving later in the week to spend Christmas with us. Until then, we’ll be working on building more science kits.
We awoke this morning to heavy freezing fog, a heavy frost, and 23F (-5C). It doesn’t feel particularly cold because there’s no wind at all this morning.
Things are pretty quiet in the Comments area also.
So, with nothing better to say, ….
FLASHLIGHTS !!
Oh, c’mon, Mr. RickH; get with the program; we’re done with FLASHLIGHTS and have moved on to TOILETS!
I was in the local Hannaford’s supermarket yesterday and noticed about four guys in cammies, or parts of cammies; one I figured was actually a hunter and had just been out in the woods. The other three had bits and pieces of cammo gear, including one guy with some kind of desert digital pants and another kind of Euro woodland jacket. Hey, people, if you’re gonna wear cammies in public and alert every tom, dick and harry and huckleberry cop that you’re a possible threeper or wack-job wingnut with guns, at least wear matching duds! Sure, probably no one up here thinks twice about it but you can bet others notice it. Take it from one who knows about sticking out like a sore thumb: on my trip to Boston summer before last I was wearing cargo pants, hiking shoes and towering over almost everybody with a ponytail and beard and photogray glasses. And I was the only bugger not toting a smartypants phone and gazing into it while walking through traffic and lights.
Speaking of being tall; in that same store yesterday a tall and kind of plain chick walked in, wearing glasses, checking her phone, and she was at least as tall as me. You don’t see that every day. And over the years you might think that tall women would at least make eye contact with me, but they don’t; they completely ignore me. So I figure they must go for REALLY tall guys, like NBA players or NFL tight ends.
Overcast and windy as heck out there; chill facta down to single digits. Approaching mid-afternoon and no sign or sound of wife and Princess arriving yet, a few hours now past their touted morning ETA. On their days off they roll outta bed around 10 or 11, and then have coffee for two hours. Then it’s another hour to actually get the car loaded and them in it. I can be showered, dressed and rolling on the road in 30 minutes or less any day of the week, even with a bad back.
and then have coffee for two hours
MrsAtoz made SOS, eggs, biscuits this morning. I made coffee. MrsAtoz says “Put a shot of Gentleman Jack in it and you might get lucky.” I put two shots in. š
“I put two shots in.”
Youza a bad, bad man.
But I’ll be over tomorrow morning and I’d like a double serving of the SOS, eggs, biscuits, side of grits with butter, side of corned-beed-hash, pitcher of cranberry juice, and hot chocolate with four shots of Glenfiddich in it. Then I’ll head out on the Strip and see if I get lucky.
“Then Iāll head out on the Strip and see if I get lucky.”
I hear Nancy Pelosi is in Vegas… š
Yesterday was quite the day, with all the (apparently unrelated) attacks. One that may not have made the news there: in ZĆ¼rich, a guy shot up a mosque. Current indications are that this had nothing to do with the mosque itself, but rather with an ex-friend he was at odds with. Still, it’s a strange coincidence, on the same day as the Berlin attack and the assassination of two Russian ambassadors.
As Eugen says: Merkel did approve Syrian refugees, and Syrians are generally pretty civilized. The problem is: Merkel’s government made no effort to verify identity. Anyone could claim to be Syrian, to get in the door. And many people had legitimately lost their papers on the harrowing trip to get here.
If Germany was going to accept refugees, they should have been processed in Syria, for example, in the refugee camps. No showing up unannounced on the doorstep – that should only get you sent home. That way, Germany (and the EU generally) would have been in control of the situation.
Meanwhile, the MSM is busy criticizing Assad again: he’s letting refugees from eastern Aleppo run off to be a load on the rebels (whom they support), rather than trying to take them in himself. The guy has a bloody rebellion to put down, and that’s nothing but good strategy. What the hell do they expect him to do?
Sure, Assad is a bloody dictator, but Western intervention somehow consistently fails to bring truth and justice to the countries blessed to receive it. If the Syrians could choose to have Syria back as it was a few years ago, Assad and all, is there any doubt that they would choose that?
Two Russian ambassadors? I only heard of the one in Turkey.
@RickH, there have been several discussions about like getting bold, italic, and block quote (the command to get a fancy link too, but I prefer folks being able to see where they are going) in this comment area.
These (bold, italic, and block quote) seem to be the only ones that work.
Is there something I am missing that I cannot do underline or strikeout?
Also, it appears the emoji set is very limited. Is there a list of the allowed emoji?
Thanks.
just passing time as I am sitting here nursing another hypothermic kitten, at least she is breathing well…
As bad as the Assad or Saddam Hussein regimes were, the people in those countries were still better off with them than with the murderous bastards who’ve since either taken over or are in the middle of civil wars with multiple factions, all eager to take over. Pretty much just as Afrika was better off with the white Euro colonialists in charge, and can anyone in their right mind deny that? If the white race is such a cancer on humanity as some fembat witch said some years ago, well go ahead and wipe us all out and watch what happens.
That said, our continuing stupid efforts to bring 21st-C “democracy” to most of these places is destined to be a total failure and we ought to stop trying. You can’t set up town meetings and elections and all that good chit in places that are just one step up from the Bronze Age, if that.
“I hear Nancy Pelosi is in Vegasā¦”
Not exactly who I had in mind.

“Two Russian ambassadors? I only heard of the one in Turkey.”

Stuff beginning to heat up, looks like. And it’s not made-up fake, either. I keep waiting for another shoe to drop here, and maybe that’s the way the regime masters like it; keep us all in a constant state of FUD.
I dated a girl a couple of times when I was in college who was 6′ 4″ (same as me). She always wore flats and slouched. I told her to forget about being taller than most guys, because no guy worth her time would care how tall she was. I told her I’d still want to go out with her if she were my roommate Scott’s height (6′ 10″) or Scott’s girlfriend’s (5′ 0″). I don’t think she believed me.
All this talk about height has me feeling small and unappreciated. I’m going back to my safe space.
I’ve always had a thing for women that were outside the norm in height. Short girls & tall girls – they all held a certain attraction. Never worried about how it looked. I dated because they were right at the time. But ultimately, I married a woman who’s 5’6″. Just right.
Most tall girls I’ve known in life were always conflicted about their height and it bothered them no end. Even Mrs. OFD, who is 5’10” and taller than a lot of guys these days, so when she’s talking to them, they can’t help but look at her chest. Princess is six feet and guys looking at her chest have to stand back a couple of feet. (44DD)
And my main mission in life these days seems to be getting stuff off the top shelves for peeps in the supermarkets, and a lot of the peeps around here are Franco-American Quebecois and they tend to be like hobbits. The women tell me “Oh it must be nice to be so tall!” And I tell them it’s no day at the beach, what with back and neck and knee issues and always cracking our heads on stuff and not being able to fit in regular vehicle or plane seats very well. In SEA I had to sit with my legs across the aisle on their buses and the locals thought that was hugely amusing. I got out of a truck one time in very rural Cambodia outside a busy market and all the noise stopped dead; they’d never seen a farang (WHITEY foreigner) before for one thing, and certainly not a human bean this tall. I made sure to smile a lot and I actually got to use a bit of my middle-skool French and the Thai I picked up at language school on one of the bases earlier.
And there are some days I wish I’d taken a better look at this house, designed and build by hobbits in 1830. We shoulda looked harder for a house built by orcs or elves.
Or cave trolls?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_(Middle-earth)
Yeah, trolls would have been good, too. Forgot about them. I used to tend more toward the Orc line of things but now I’m more Elvish and intelleckshooal and chit. Plus Elvis chicks are cuter.
Elvis chicks? Eewww!
I hope you meant Elvish…
“Elvis chicks? Eewww!”
I dunno. Cybill Shepherd was alright in her time. These days Priscilla looks like she has been pre-emptively embalmed, though.
Agreed.
I was just picturing greasy black hair and sideburns…
Apparently he knew a few:

Now, most of them are a little older than I, but they were lookers in their day.

After the first Gulf War, I heard a second tier official in the George HW Bush administration say that there’s no amount of bombs that you can drop on a people that will cause them to suddenly start reading the Federalist Papers. I wish I could remember who exactly it was so I could give proper credit to an officially wise man.
“..thereās no amount of bombs that you can drop on a people that will cause them to suddenly start reading the Federalist Papers.”
Did they ever thought of dropping books instead?? Books created specially for them, in their language, and so on?
ADDED: Instead of ONE $250,000 bomb, you could drop 100,000 books!
If a student is getting worst, it’s only the teacher to be blamed.
Not sure what the source is. Quoted by Pournelle …
“” The city of Chicago is steadily recovering from an overnight snowstorm that delayed hundreds of murders on Saturday and Sunday morning and will likely continue to push numerous homicides across the city drastically behind schedule, public authorities announced. āAs we speak, maintenance crews are working diligently to restore public transportation, de-ice roads, and clear back alleyways so that Chicagoans can quickly resume murdering again,ā Department of Streets and Sanitation spokesman Dave Michelson said of the heavy blizzard, which caused numerous homicide cancellations this morning at peak murder times. āUnfortunately, weāre backed up by about 35 deadly shootings at the moment, but we hope to restore regular death tolls as soon as possible. We apologize to anyone forced to postpone shootings or other killings today and assure concerned murderers that they will be able to resume slayings by the early afternoon.ā At press time, authorities reported that murders were up and running in many parts of the city, with four teenagers already gunned down on Chicagoās South Side. “”
“Apparently he knew a few…”
Oh boy. Ann Margret and Raquel Welch. Yikes. They both still look like a billion dollars.
Yeah, I meant “Elvish” chicks. OK, one little typo in what, thousands of posts???
thereās no amount of bombs that you can drop on a people that will cause them to suddenly start reading the Federalist Papers.
Never mind the Fed papers; make them read the Anti-Fed Papers. And Lysander Spooner. And Frederic Bastiat.
And here I agree with Mr. Eugen; drop books instead of bombs, in their own language and toss in some CDs of music or whatever. I’d willingly have some of my tax money going for that instead of bombs for a change.
I don’t think most Murkans want to bomb and kill people in foreign countries; it’s our governments that are the problem. As usual.
But if the people somewhere don’t like our books, and decide to tool up and send destruction and death over here, well, we will have a different kettle of fish to fry and those people ain’t gonna like it much. My understanding is that the musloids intend to bring about their Greater Caliphate worldwide by fire and the sword, worldwide jihad, for as long as it takes, and impose sharia on the surviving dhimmis. No thanks. Try that over here and reap the whirlwind. (assuming our own leaders don’t just sell us out like Frau Commissar Merkel has done in Germany and the political leaders in Sweden have done, which is, I know, I know, a yuuuuuuuuge assumption).
” …an overnight snowstorm that delayed hundreds of murders…”
But gee whiz, doesn’t Chicongo (and Illinois) have among the toughest gun laws in the country?? And what about that hard-charging mayor Emmanuel and his good crises that he doesn’t like to waste?
Made my Disney reservations online. A nice system and experience. Get to chose your FastPass+ bands and the events you want. Bands will be shipped to the house and will be used to check in at the hotel (Disney’s Animal Kingdom, two nights), access into the park, dining, rides for reserved times and transportation to and from the park. Nice app for the phone that shows all your reservations. Dining times have been reserved at both parks.
“”Instead of ONE $250,000 bomb, you could drop 100,000 books!””
In an ideal world, that would be lovely.
Assuming adequate literacy, and open minds, it might improve things a lot.
I doubt that it would work in even a seriously “educated” city or area in the U.S., even, though (even with a less invasive delivery than “dropping”).
People everywhere cling to their stupidity, no matter what.
OK, one little typo in what, thousands of posts???
Have to play off the game one is dealt!
They also have among the nation’s toughest anti-snow laws.
“… People everywhere cling to their stupidity, no matter what.
Oh no, you have it wrong, sir; we wouldn’t drop any books here in this country; we’d drop cell phones and tablets!
My sooper secret job in San Antonio coordinated *numerous* literature drops. Maybe drop some Bibles to make their heads explode.
Our best move would be to follow OFDs advice and withdraw everything. Using “National Security Interest” as an excuse is a joke. How’s that worked out Bush’s and Obola!
Yeah, I meant āElvishā chicks. OK, one little typo in what, thousands of posts???
I’m sure Freud would have something unpleasant to say. Are you into cigars?
As for dropping books, yeah, export our culture. It seems everyone wants to come to America, the center of the empire.. Export the empire! Sex sells. Takes a bit longer than bombing them to the stone age, but. … not as messy.
IOW, I see no reason for the US to be bombing mo-fos /anywhere/. Bring the troops home. Ya wanna “colonize” shit? We have EVERYTHING south of the Rio Grande to mess with. Yeah, the language will change into a mix of English and Spanish. Not a big deal, English is a whore for new words.
China and Russia can do the mo-fo bombing on their side of the world.
If I was in charge I’d withdraw 95% of our overseas stuff in a haht-beat. And yeah, drop KJV Bibles everywhere, haha. No, I’d have a haht and drop Douay-Rheims Bibles or the ones with facing Latin pages, lol. I dunno if they still do, but they used to make small pocket-sized New Testaments; we got ’em handed out to us at our swearing-in at Boston Army Base when I went to work for Uncle. I always wondered how that made the Jews feel, but we didn’t have any musloids or Buddhists back then.
Hey, a heads-up for any gub nuts here; gunmagwarehouse.com is selling a bunch of former PD .40 magazines for various types of handgubs; departments are ditching the .40 now so you may see some pretty good prices for ’em in varying conditions, and cheaper .40 ammo. Not my caliber but YMMV.
WRT to a mix of Hispanic-English, sure, in the bottom third of the country, maybe. And yeah, English is about the most promiscuous language ever invented; like unto the Borg. Let it rip, I say.
I see Drudge is getting a lot of mileage outta the Merkel w/bloody hands meme on his main page. Don’t I get royalties or something?
@DadCooks: regarding text ‘decorations’ – not sure what the theme on this site allows (I could dig into it), but here’s an attempt; all codes are put inside angle brackets, the end-the-code adds a slash, as in ‘angle-bracket”slash”the-code”close-angle-bracket’
Bold text uses the ‘strong’ statement (open and close)
Italic text uses the ‘italic’ statement (open and close)
Strikethrough text uses the ‘strikethrough’ statement (open and close), although it is deprecated and may not show up in your browser
Underlined text uses the ’em’ statement (open and close). Also deprecated, so YMMV
There might be a horizontal line just above here, using the ‘hr’ statement (no close required)
Note that any HTML codes more fancy that this are automatically stripped off by WordPress, for security/safety reasons.
Now, let’s see what works when I Post this comment.
EDIT: as you can see, the underline changes to italic; strikethrough doesn’t work, nor does the horizontal line.
There is the ability to show what codes are allowed (not shown by this theme); and you can add to the ‘allowable’ HTML codes (that are not stripped by WordPress and/or the theme), which requires a bit of additional code added to the theme.
All of that is up to Robert, of course, but technically possible.
This is a test of strikethrough.From the WP editor.
This is a test of underline.
Unnerline don werk.
Thanks @RichH, just thought you might have some magic.
These are the codes I get to work, the less than and greater than have been replaced with the [ and ]
[b] xxxx [/b] for bold
[s] xxxx [/s] for strikeout
[i] xxxx [/i] for italic

Well, I got my TV fixed.
It’s a Vixio 55″ w/ 240 refresh rate. Paid about $2000 with tax for it in Nov ’09. Yes, I know the prices have come WAY down. But when you get the new TV it’s time to get HD. Then a year ago it was decided to get the fancy DVR recording box.
Whatever, I have a VCR that taped all of one show. Eight years ago. That I haven’t watched. Recording TV is not a thing here.
Well, the new DVR got noisy after a few months. Like a CPU fan failing. About the same time I lost a couple of HDMI inputs on the TV. Called DirecTV and had the box replaced. He said the boxes run hot and tend to burn out HDMI inputs. He did something in the menus and toned it down on the replacement box.
Sold me on the $19.95 maintenance plan. One year minimum. I’m not thrilled w/ this. $50 per claim. If they can’t fix it, they replace it.
Well, Ok, what does a 55″ LED LCD TV cost now? Do any have a built in sound bar or 240 refresh?
They came to the house today. Damn, Vizio uses a lot of screws to hold their TVs together. They replaced a board that is about 10×10 inches. Took about an hour from Hi! to Thank You.
BTW, today’s tech guy said DirecTV DVR boxes run hot on the HDMI.
Now I know how to do it.
FWIW, the old board looked good. No swollen caps or char smell.
And when I cancel the $19.95 maintenance plan, it will have cost $290 to fix the TV.
Seems to be an ok deal. I suppose.
Use the strike tag to strike through text.(Rick had said to use the strikethrough tag to strike through text, which has the benefit of making sense but the drawback of not working.)
Speaking of Elvis… Could it be that he was briefly in the movie “Home Alone” ?
Perspiring minds want to know!
“Could it be that he was briefly in the movie āHome Aloneā ?”
Elvis was quite a performer but he wasn’t quite up to coming back from the dead; the movie was made in 1990 and he’d been dead as a doornail for thirteen years.

Tried a couple more but no dice. Oh well, guess I’ll give up programming.
Actually, I *could* add any code to the theme, with a bit of coding-fu. For instance, perhaps a [snark] code. But not sure what that would look like.
My initial post was off the top of my head (which might explain why I couldn’t get the strikethrough to work).
By default, though, WordPress core code gets rid of non-allowed HTML code, for safety and security reasons. There is a way to override that, and even to disallow any/all HTML code.
I note that the latest version of WP (4.7, released the beginning of December) removed underline as an allowable HTML code in the WP Editor (which allows more formatting of text). But the WP-Editor functions are not within the code for the comment area. (Well, there are probably some plugins that allow you to add an editor like Tiny MCE. But there have been some security issues with that in the past.)
In the WP 4.7 release notes:
You can do a lot of customizing with plugins and adding to a ‘child theme’s” function.php file. (Not recommended, of course, to modify WP core code or theme code, as any updates to those will overwrite your changes.)
All the sites that I do usually have a child theme so that I can make CSS and other changes without affecting core or theme code/CSS.

I agree with Eugen that books & music of all sorts ought to be the first option. Federalist & Anti-Federalist Papers, Paine, Hayek, Milton, Hemingway, & Poe ought to be a good start, then hit them with Mozart and the Stones. I will allow for the use of napalm to stamp out bad ideas more quickly on a case by case basis (Nazis, say) because some people just ain’t going to change otherwise. Meanwhile, bring our troops home from whatever bogus places they are now stationed. Secure the borders, ports, and sea lanes. Get back to that old ideal ‘Friends of Liberty everywhere, guardians of it only at home.’
Did the truck driver (not the original Polish guy, victim) just put a brick on the pedal, or use a software hack (on the recent model Swedish truck)?
Expands the potential pilot list if it’s no longer suicide…
“Donāt be this guyā¦ ”
Ima gon go out on a limb here and put forth my theory that this comment and link is somehow related to the earlier discussion of Elvis chicks and suchlike but I could be mistaken, which has happened a few times before in my checkered existence.
Thanks for the WP and html clarification, Mr. RickH. I was at one time gonna get into that stuff but I ain’t cut out for it.
And I agree with Mr. pcb-duffer’s comment made above on Murkan interests. I’d keep Milton provisionally but if given a choice between him and de Vere, I’d go for the latter, as the latter is translatable readily in all kinds of formats worldwide. And has been. The Japanese seem to go for Beowulf in a big way, along with the other existing Anglo-Saxon literary corpus. Northern warrior culture, I get it.
“Did the truck driver…””
I seem to be seeing a lot of contradictory accounts so far on that incident and who was driving and some other suspect released, etc., etc. We need more real intel.
They don’t need your books, your famous authors, or mine, at all. They already got theirs. Someone just need to help them deliver. But they need something else more. Read below.
When a person reads, he/she thinks. We want them to think more, so we should make them read more. But what a soldier-like person would want to read? Fed Papers? Poe? I don’t think so.
They would want to read something that empowers them, something very useful in the immediate real world. And that are the SKILLS book. They need something else instead of the shooting skill. From how to bake your bread to how to build your house, a lot would be read (in their language!). And if someone would also provide the materials specific for all the skills (i.e. in large general stores), they would be eager to use the skills (and the books).
They have their music. Deliver more of their instruments and their music books.
And only much later you could drop those books from pcb_duffer’s list, when they are not anymore soldier-like persons but think-able persons. For example, you could drop those books, now, in Romania. They would be very useful now.
And the costs would be ridiculous small comparing with military costs.
“Princess is six feet and guys looking at her chest have to stand back a couple of feet. (44DD)”
Does she give them a kick in the nuts?
“I seem to be seeing a lot of contradictory accounts so far on that incident and who was driving and some other suspect released, etc., etc.”
Ditto here in Europe. Here’s hoping the police are just keeping it quiet, but there’s a real possibility the driver got clean away.
Also no more news here, about the guy who shot up the mosque. He killed himself shortly afterwards, and there’s no real indication what his motives were. He was from Ghana, apparently, but has been in Switzerland long enough to be naturalized, so not a recent immigrant (and not a refugee; Ghana is a pretty civilized place, and doesn’t generate refugees).
The Russian diplomats – two on one day. Russia claims this might be covert action by NATO. Conspiracy theorists suggest all sorts of things, not least of which is a last gasp attempt by Clinton-folks to keep Russia and the US hostile. World peace would be bad for business, after all. Or it could just be a weird coincidence, who knows…
Tall or short, I don’t much care. When I was 16 I developed a crush on a girl in my class. She was very tall, brunette, mozzie bites for tits, legs like tooth picks. The next girl I developed a crush on was a short, plump blonde.
Yes, I know what I like in a girl (tall, red hair, big knockers) but it all falls by the wayside in individual cases.

You know how approximately 100% of the anti-islamorrhoid hate crimes reported in the US have been hoaxes? (Or, to put it charitably, have been less than fully accurate?)
Well, just out of cosmic balance, I’ve been expecting to find one of these islamorrhoid terror acts to have been committed by fanatical christians or atheists or something, setting up the islamorrhoids to look bad.
Oddly, that hasn’t happened yet. All of the obvious islamorrhoid terror acts have in fact been committed by islamorrhoids, as have several terror acts which have not been immediately obviously been committed by islamorrhoids. Odd…

Wouldn’t that be a protected class? (obviously a victim of white christian males)

No, but Donald Trump has.
Donald Trump. Man of the people. Drives a UPS truck.
“Donald Trump. Man of the people. Drives a UPS truck.”
And I see the alleged perp is already half-dressed in his pending permanent wardrobe. Outstanding, and showing much foresight on his part, i.e., that the police would soon arrest him without further incident and that he would get a “fair trial.” Outstanding.
I dunno WTF Robert Smith is and why his viz is on the innernet, but suffice to say my hair is about as long and not gray. I do not have as much facial hair but mine is now white, with a bit of red still in it. I’ll put up another selfie here soon, depending on other circumstances.

Not ALL hate crimes are perpetrated by a particular group.
However, I despise the term “Hate crime”. It’s a crime, no matter the motivation. Hatred makes it no more nor less a crime.
“However, I despise the term āHate crimeā. “
Ditto. It’s another “criminal offense” ginned up by activist shysters and judges and politicians as yet another degenerate form of virtue signaling.
And in a truly just society, this POS kid should have long ago had his fair trial and been swung from a gallows.
If he gets life without parole you guys will be on the hook for his upkeep for the next 60 years.
If he gets life without parole you guys will be on the hook for his upkeep for the next 60 years.
Maybe he will get shanked in prison.
“Maybe he will get shanked in prison.”
He’ll get taken in by the AN guys at some point, maybe, and used like a bar of soap, but sooner or later, yeah, he’ll end up getting shanked, probably by one of the black gangs. I doubt he’ll last six months, let alone 60 years.
