Stupid school district. It was colder yesterday than the days they canceled school, with actual frost on the ground. But hey, gotta get the butts back in the seats and get paid. Started around 25F and got warmer, all the way into the low 40sF, but then crashed back down. Sunny and clear though. More of the same today.
I didn’t do anything but sleep in the morning. I went back to bed and tried to get 4 more hours. When I got up, I felt ok. 4-6 hours a night is more typical for me, which is probably why I crash out on the weekends when I can. Did my pickup in the afternoon, and will not buy from them again unless the deal is outrageous, because they aren’t nearby or easy to get to. Nor are they near other auctioneers so I can just make a loop or several stops.
I did stop in at the Goodwill Surplus store. It’s a new store and I’ve never been to it. It’s also not close to my house. It’s big, and wasn’t as nasty as they usually are. Still lots of hispanics digging through the bins for clothes and monopolizing carts for the whole day. The store is enforcing the ‘no unattended carts’ rule so they have to have someone stand with the cart. IDK why they just don’t take the cart and cash out when it gets full. They can come back in and fill it again.
I did grab a vintage Peavey guitar amp…
Then it was home to make dinner (canned red beans and rice with added sausage). It’s hearty, and can be eaten cold if needed. It’s my wife’s goto backup girl scout camping meal. I like disaster food that already has the water in it, is cooked, and won’t take a lot of time to prepare. Bulk rice and bulk beans are ok, and I have some, but canned and ready to eat wins for most disasters. Fuel, time, and water are all usually in short supply in a disaster. Canned food cuts the cost of those things dramatically.
Today I have a follow up doctor visit in the morning, and a local pickup in the afternoon. During the rest of the day I’ll work the list.
One fun thing, the dog presented me with a dead mouse yesterday. And he’s going nuts in the kitchen trying to get under the cabinets… so that’s something I’ll need to address. Ah, good times.
Stack some vermin control. You’ll need it.

The point was never to make money from Amazon Go, Fresh, etc. The stores were about FOMO, particularly on Wall Street.
We went in an Amazon Go every morning when we went to Chicago pre-pandemic. The checkout process always had an error in our favor – missed piece of fruit, water, etc. I doubt that the systems ever worked properly.
The irony was that the Go store sat at the entrance of the building where the Tribune leased space for their newsroom, across the river from the legacy building which was being gutted for condos.
30F. Cold. Dunno about clear yet, but probably.
Up and making coffee. Breakfast is in the microwave. Kinder have been poked. D1 was up using the Keurig to make herself a cup of coffee… oh boy, kid is growing up.

Well that’s exactly what I do. (just another ‘Old guy’). That’s why I noticed the change the other day and said something.
Nick, I guess you read on a narrow screen like a phone. I rarely do so the recent comments appear on the right side rather that below at the bottom. Bigger screens means no need to use readers. Desktop, laptop or my 10″ tablet are my usual choices.
It was a bad week for NASA and the USA, but there will be worse.
Generally speaking, deaths follow capacity, approximating the number of souls aboard aircraft.
Commercial a/c started with pilots & observers killed by the one’s and two’s in incidents, usually military, but in the modern era it is large civilian transport deaths that make the news. A half dozen dead in a commercial or general aviation accident barely registers on the dial.
If the space moguls (nice book title) start sending up people in lots of 20, 50, 100, 200 … we will eventually see simultaneous losses in the same numbers.
Perhaps embedded arrow brackets or text that the editor thinks is invalid html or markup?
No tule fog this am. Yesterday school district here started out with a two hour delay, changed to three and then just canceled the day. Fog cleared shortly after noon, W1 had gone to D1’s house, which gave me a mostly peaceful morning, then they came here along with the three GKs and stayed and had dinner too. Chicken piccata, one of my favorites. I had the meat ready (trimmed, cut and pounded – yes that joke was thrown out) also also cooked 3# rice in the Instapot, came out perfect. W1 cooked it. Lots of left overs.
Nick, I guess you read on a narrow screen like a phone
– nope, 24″ monitor most of the time, window sized to 18″ wide out of the 21″ total. Zoomed so that one column fills it. I really like the bigger text. A year ago, I was probably using the same size window but only zoomed to just short of where the 2 column layout shifts to one column. With any number of comments though, once you scroll down a ways, that 2 column layout leaves a lot of white space to the right of the comment area. Any wider and my eyes or head have to move too much.
I sit about 32 -34 inches from the monitor. That’s a good distance for my mouse arm to be comfortable.

My brother sent me a recording of him arguing with Alexa about the temperature this morning.
It claimed it was 47° out at 7 AM, the actual temperature was about 25; in spite of him telling it to check again, telling it that it was wrong, telling it that it was hallucinating the AI refused to admit it was wrong.
After several minutes of arguing it finally admitted its error.
And people are using AI for pscholological counseling, to make financial investments, to book aircraft flights, and for medical advice!
Well that’s about my setup on the desk too. Display is set to 125% on both desk and laptop. Window 10 on desk 11 on laptop. Pad and phone both Pixels. The tablet is just like a big phone but no cellular.

Squirted, not “sprayed”. How can idiots whose trade is talking have such a loose grasp of the English language, even when they don’t have a “mostly peaceful” propaganda message. Spaking of which, if they all say “sprayed” did they all get the talking points from the same source?
I thought the “attack” on Ilhan Omar looked staged.
Trump didn’t even look at it before he said “She probably did it herself.”
Lot’s of other people looking at the fakery, including the up-front seat syringe-guy conveniently had, his lefty social media, etc. And who aims for the torso when the eyes are unprotected?
The guy got into the venue with a pre-loaded syringe of unknown liquid or he loaded it in the front row while nobody noticed. Her security sucks either way. Her response is to step toward the assailant and then she just powers on with her word-vomit after getting soaked to the skin. Stupid and clueless or knew that it was harmless? In a real attack she’d have seconds to take action before being permanently scarred, really effed up, or killed, depending on what she go hit with.
Omar and her crew are stupid from a low-IQ tribal country. As a member of congress, the attack on her is a federal crime and Capitol Police are already involved. A false report of a federal crime is a federal felony. Doubt that syringe guy understood that, or that his kids won’t see him for years if he gets convicted. Ratting out the people that hired him should look pretty good. Omar convicted of a felony would look best.
A parking heater datapoint this morning.
While in the shower this morning the power went out (I have been hearing construction machinery since the legal 7am, my guess is a strike on the underground service here by a backhoe, “natural enemy of the grid”).
The diesel heater is attached to a 120to 12V transformer, and naturally turned itself off. By the time I got out of the shower and checked on it it was off and cooling, but there was some odor of diesel in the house. Not horrific, more like being next to a truck at a traffic stop or something – probably unburned diesel made a cloud near the house air intake. It does suggest that if you live in an area that has a lot of power outages you need an UPS rather than a direct wall connection.
It restarted on command.
There is a ‘font size’ adjuster at the top of this page (under the menu). You can increase or decrease the font size of the text without affecting the column layout.
The font size is remembered via a ‘cookie’ so that your setting will retain on future sessions, unless you delete your cookies.
Adjusting the zoom level of your screen affects all elements on the screen. Which will result in the columns rearranging at some point – from the default two-column shown on larger screens to a one-column ‘stack’ similar to what you would see on a phone or tablet.
Column placement is determined by the width of the screen (‘display port’, if you want to get technical). CSS ‘media’ rules determine the columns’ placement – two column on larger screens, one column on narrower (like phone/tablet). Screen orientation will also be used to determine column placement.

FBI Raids Fulton County Election Hub Days After Trump Vows Prosecutions for 2020 Election – Here We Go

Ground zero for 2020 election fraud. Over 300,000 votes counted illegally per Georgia law , lacking the required audit trail.
Took six freaking years to get this far. Get this investigated, get the perps jailed, put safeguards in place for the 2028 election, including cleaning the voter roles, requiring voter ID and doing away with absentee ballots (the epicenter of the fraud), or be prepared for a hot war.
Get the RINOs cleaned out of Congress. Most of them are whores, idiots, or both, and I’m not sure there is a fourth category.
The next step is to audit the U.S. Census, indict, prosecute, convict , and inter in misery the people who conspired to taint the 2020 count to benefit reapportionment in favor of the blue states
Finish getting the illegals kicked out, then any remaining do not get counted in the 2030 census. Put an end to the birthright citizenship nonsense. Make entering the U.S. illegally a felony, and any subsequent violations felonies. Apply the federal death penalty to every illegal alien that commits murder, manslaughter, sexual assault, and kidnapping.
Make it a federal felony to employ, conceal, support, or assist an illegal alien in committing crimes of any kind, and make people and organizations that do financially liable.

“Mysterious Liquid Sprayed on Ilhan Omar Identified, Makes the Whole Situation Look More Like a Staged Hoax”

“A man seated in the front row sprayed Omar’s chest with a syringe-like device lunging at her from his seat before being detained by law enforcement. Forensic investigators determined the substance was apple cider vinegar in the following hours, according to KARE, a local Minneapolis outlet.”
Well, that might discolor her clothing but it sure won’t harm her.

Oh, you silly child. You are so behind the times. The correct term is “unhoused”.
My wife’s step father used to run a homeless mission in San Antonio in the 1980’s. Several of the people, including one guy with a masters degree electrical engineering, said they chose to live that way. They did not want a home, responsibility, jobs, taxes, etc. They enjoyed the freedom to wander where they wanted to wander. They chose the lifestyle, the lifestyle did not chose them.

Failed my glucose test. So despite having the symptoms, I am not hypoglycemic. I’ll be wearing a blood glucose monitor for the next two weeks to see what else is going on, and to see if it’s actually diabetes. The monitor is pretty cool tech. It’s about the size of a nickel, is attached somehow to my triceps on my right arm*, communicates with NFC and blutooth to my phone, and tattles to the doc’s office too. It reads blood glucose every five minutes and graphs it on my phone. It’s supposed to stay attached even in water for two weeks…
So there’s that.

* it looked like it had a dozen needles on the face and is applied by a carrier device. Looks like it’s glued too. There’s a “snap” when it gets applied.
The latest video footage clearly shows Pretti spitting at ICE and actually kicking out the taillight on their car. The PLTs thought they had a lamb to sacrifice but got a mentally ill turd instead.
A New Bombshell About Alex Pretti Just Dropped. Here’s the Footage…And It Nukes the Lib Narrative
https://townhall.com/tipsheet/mattvespa/2026/01/28/if-this-new-footage-is-confirmed-then-the-lib-medias-narrative-on-alex-pretti-is-totally-cooked-n2670261
The new film shows Petti with what looks like a handgun under his belt behind his right hip.
It’s beginning to look like he had threee violent encounters with ICE agents in three weeks. The new film shows him vandalizing their vehicle, they get out and they take him to the ground. Full grounds for arrest at that point, but they let him go, and did not discover the gun.
The next week he gets taken to the ground again, and a rib is broken.
There is no way to know if he was armed in the second incident (but…betcha) or if he was carrying legally with the required ID during the first incident.
What we can conclude is that the young man was stupid and reckless and did not temper his behavior after the first two incidents. During the third incident he was carrying illegally without ID (as discovered later), things went horribly wrong and he was shot.
Stupid and reckless are not reasons to be shot. Neither is resisting arrest. But as prelude to discovery of his carry weapon by agents who already knew he was violent and resisting arrest, the ensuing chaos resulted in his death.
The responsibility is his entirely.
Investigatores now have three different time/locations to associate with his phone, and they can look at other phones that were also in common with those location/ times, as well as look at the Signal chat to see how he was directed there.
ADDED: I saw a report last night but did not save it, showing how his photo was altered by the press to make him look more tan and “better”, in exactly the same fashion that the LSM has used to make conservatives look gray, old, and “bad”. This is now SOP with the media.

#3 According to the Ludwig Institute for Shared Economic Prosperity, the percentage of the U.S. workforce that is “functionally unemployed” has risen to a whopping 25.2 percent…
#4 It is being reported that 1,500 HR employees that work for Amazon are facing the axe…
#5 At one time, Pinterest was flying high. But now harder times are here and it intends to fire close to 15 percent of its entire workforce…
#6 Nike just announced that it will be eliminating 775 jobs…
#7 Not to be outdone by any of the companies mentioned above, UPS plans to throw up to 30,000 employees into the streets this year…
#8 The Washington Post is preparing for “big layoffs”, and that could include the entire sports department…
#9 The largest mall in San Francisco has been permanently closed even sooner than expected…
#10 Pending home sales in the United States just fell “to the lowest level for any December on record”…
#11 The U.S. dollar just declined for a fourth consecutive day, and it is now at the lowest level that we have seen in four months…
#12 If someone tries to convince you that the U.S. dollar is not dying, just show them this chart…

@Nick, I know people who wear those glucose monitors. Some are diabetic, but most are doing it as part of very close monitoring of their ketogenic diets.
From what I’ve read, they feel the need to calibrate the CGM whenever they switch to a new one. Or maybe more frequently. I also thought they lasted a month, not two weeks.
But I have no direct experience. I went so far as to buy a finger-prick meter for ketones and sugar, but then I fell off the diet wagon and never followed through.
Dr. Boz wants people to monitor their early morning glucose/ketones ratio as an indicator of quality of diet and (good) autophagy.
Federal crime and the perpetrator will be prosecuted, even if Omar opts not to press charges.
The Westfield in San Francisco on Market has been a train wreck for at least 20 years.

He’s just a typical PLT that has been fed shit and worked himself into a rage, and then aimed like a human weapon by the people running the Signal chat, including the hopefully soon-to-be-indicted Lt. Gov of Minnesota.
@Nick which CGM are you using? Dexcom G7 or FreeStyle Libre? Freestyle has caught up in tech to dexcom the last couple of years.
Mu son uses the G7, and in my limited experience, that is the overwhelming preference for Type I’s. I see Type II’s primarily use the Libre.
Whatever model you use, they really are amazing pieces of technology.

One of the first things the new fraud czar should do is set a preliminary threshold in dollars to determine where the initial investigations will be focused. When a states fraud is found to be over that level it triggers a requirement that every program receiving federal dollars re-verify all participants, starting with a simple determination of actual living and being U.S. Citizens. States that refuse to cooperate get their payments immediately slashed by 50%.
Democrats Are Willing To Die To End Deportations. That Can’t Stop Law Enforcement

And have you noticed that despite being the focal point for the fraud (Somali Scams I to VII for sure. Getcher tracking spreadsheet here!) as well as a focus of deportation efforts, you don’t see any Somalis on the front lines?

gyppedsomalled out of whitey might be bankrolling some of the mayhem?Curious as to why my comments about Trump’s statements that “he was going to fix the economy on ‘day one’ ”were deleted from view – twice.
No, I am not a troll. But there was an earlier comment about economic troubles that still stands. And there have been other comments that promote violence on various groups, and those comments are not removes.
So, why were my simple, non-attacking comments deleted? Because they are not ‘friendly’ to Pres Trump? Or the worldview of others here? (One of the reasons I visit here is because of the diverse comment subjects. I, like many others here, am just a ‘lurker’, not an active participant.) Because I used a non-existent email address (which is only available to admins)? Because I used an obviously anonymous name? My comment seems to follow the recommendations on the ‘comment policy’ page. Mr. Trump’s statements were widely reported at the time (and still are), so are not ‘fake news’.
Inquiring minds, and all that…

Hey NotMe, liars get hammered. The USA inflation rate in the 4th quarter is below 3% and the 4th quarter GDP growth is 5.6%. These are facts. Pretty good for Trump to turn around in only nine months.
The problem is that Biden expanded the USA government spending by 30% over four years. This has caused many problems that are not fixable in the short period. Salaries are lower than the 20% inflation rate over 4 years that Biden caused and this is causing problems.
Lie again and get hammered again.
“Census Bureau Reports NEGATIVE Net Migration as DHS Claims 3 Million Illegals Have Left U.S.”
https://thenationalpulse.com/2026/01/28/census-bureau-reports-negative-net-migration-as-dhs-claims-3-million-illegals-have-left-u-s/
“The federal government’s U.S. Census Bureau has reported that the United States experienced negative net migration over the past year, with population growth slowing to just 0.5 percent, or an increase of 1.8 million people, between July 2024 and July 2025. This marks the slowest growth rate since the pandemic, when the population grew by only 0.2 percent.”
“The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) credited the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown for the trend, claiming that nearly three million illegal immigrants left the U.S. in just one year. DHS noted that its mass deportation agenda, combined with enforcement measures, contributed to the decline in net migration.”
I would speculate that it is mostly self deportation of people fearing forced deportation.
