A day off, at least so far. Let's check on some random things that crossed my mind lately. Rent in Iceland, that means in the capital city. Those dumbo Icelanders have been letting in the very cancers that now blight other countries, justifying it by saying they bring in foreign money and eventually will assimilate. Bullshit. Rents have shot up from $400 for a downtown apartment to at least $1,800 and the crime rate no longer rounds to zero. Today's top meme involves Hillary, so I won't post it, but it has to do with the Epstein list and her asking Elon about interplanetary travel. You know those thousands of jobs the Ford EVs were bringing to Tennessee? Three of them are on their website today, all low-level management slots. Tesla is looking at "teleoperators" to drive remote controlled taxis. Probably wise.
Here is a blurry picture of the back bottom of the Frigidaire that had me down on all fours for an hour. Sorry for the poor quality but you might say my focus was elsewhere, ha-ha. This model was built in Canada (Ontario) and not designed for ease of maintenance. The only way to get at the workings other than this tiny panel is to remove the entire body of the appliance.
A Chinese freighter purposely dragged anchor to cut sea cables apparently cannot be forced into port by NATO. That's how useless they are. Point a cannon at them, they'll dock. TikTok is banning "beauty filters" (which make faces look prettier) due to teen "mental health issues". Sounds about right. The space station had to block a Russian cargo ship after it released gasses into the ship reeking of paint thinner. The number of times the ISS has had to dodge space junk is now approaching 40. Thank the stars (ha-ha) that SpaceX is contracted to push that piece of shit waste of money out of orbit in 2030. DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) has just announced they are going to tax audit the IRS. CNN says Musk is "terrifying" Federal workers, who fear their lives will be changed forever. Having to get a real job can do that.
I believe of all the nations, Americans most enjoy comeuppances. The the Democrats are getting them both barrels. Almost day by day we are treated to Trump using against them the very laws they put in place to crush their opposition. This time it is the transition of power. There are some documents that are customary, and Trump is not signing them. Ostensibly it is so the FBI can vet who Trump appoints, but Trump isn't forgetting who tapped his phones and stole his wife's panties. I know very little about these documents but they seem to be required because the government is paying for it. But Trump is using his own money, I heard he isn't even using government buildings or facilities. Nobody blames Trump for not telling his enemies his schedules and plans, not after two suspicious assassination attempts. Next, Disney is deliberately inflating the proceeds from their latest release, "Moana 2", another of their clone cartoons with the child sex undertones below the overtones.
Should I stick around? I miss my own version of quiet solitude. There is now some chance of taking the turtle, JeePee, to Florida. But not this trip. I have to make the premises secure and some way for him to get in and out of the house by himself. Fortunately, I have no aversion to making another hole through the wall of my cabin. He would have to be with me most of the time. He's rarely alone. Conventional sources say non-aquatic turtles can go seven days alone with a source of water. For me, it would just mean rigging up an extra line on the bird dripper.
I'm now 2/3 of the way through the paperback on Delta Force and they are still in training camps. There is an interesting chapter on clearing a room but I have yet to hear of a terrorist attack thwarted by parachute jumping or from blowing up their bridges. For that matter, the only Delta Force I recall was the ones that got their asses handed to them in Somalia, and those terrorists weren't even the good ones. Isn't the reason terrorists are called that is for avoiding hand-to-hand combat?
America has its own version of terrorists and the one at large today is named Harley. Here is her picture. She is the one who has been throwing the flood victims out into the cold. She and her kind are evicting families from the temporary housing build for them by Amish volunteers in North Carolina. In collusion with FEMA blocking food supplies and access roads, these are the folks behind the $750 loans disguised as disaster relief. She is a disgrace to this country.
Beetle.
Remember to use BACK ARROW to return to blog.
I've opted to stay home with the doggie. She [the Reb] has an industry event and I've never been keen on the sheer numbers of wannabes that show up looking for backs to stab. It's largely about presentation so here is her leg modeling which boots to wear. I may not know much about fashion, but I for sure know the effect it is supposed to have. As for attending other people's events, naw, count me out. Instead I've spent the last hour learning several different bass versions of "Back On The Chain Gang" simply because nobody gets it exactly right. Part of the reason seems to be playing a "full size" bass on this tune requires exceptionally large hands. Which I do not have.
Finally a day off as it should be. The Reb made up some special dishes to take to the event, I made up a big batch of "Thanksgiving rice", a medley of the ingredients rather than a larger meal. It didn't last long, a good sign. Since I originally planned on leaving around the 19th, I'm out of everything. We have a coffee crisis, but nothing I can't survive. The temperature fell into the 30s, so the cats are lounging near the turtles basking lamp.
Didn't I mention that? On the 9th, the Reb called asking me to pick up a reptile bulb. There were two types, not knowing which she meant, I bought both. Good move, the one was a mini heat lamp and JeePee loves it. He will stay directly under it long hours. Dang, I lost the photo, but I moved his flat rock into position and it has a noticeably effect on his liveliness. Folks, get your turtle a basking lamp.
Nothing to report, other than the owner of the Fed Reserve burning to death in a mysterious house fire, he was a Rothschild. There was a flurry of comments on Gab about Apple trying to get un-woke, presumably after plunging sales. It's not working, they will never regain the good reputation they once had. Plus, they moved their facilities overseas. The ruckus is they have released an ad featuring an all-White family (in this case for a hearing aid app) and are being called out for back-pedalling. If there is one thing Americans dislike, it is libtards trying to change their stripes. Fancy holiday or not, here is a sampling of the replies.
Never trust a sellout.Other than a few posts saying the device works well, it is 100% negative for Apple. Let this serve as a warning to any companies who went woke, you will lose. Whites are still a majority in the USA, and they are a huge majority when it comes to purchasing tech items. Is Apple in trouble? Sales must be tanking for them to go from woke to based overnight.
Remain cautiously optimistic.
We are not won back that easily.
Remember who they are and destroy them.
Apple is not even close to back.
You are being played, don't let down your guard.
Guilty of temporary pandering.
Nice try, Apple.
It's money-spending season.
Desperate they are.
Don't take your eyes off those snakes.
Boycott, let it be costly to disprespect us.
This changes nothing, Apple is toast.
For anyone who still needs a reason to hate the Census, the orcs have identified another crisis. The say the data is inert, but the report is filled with negatives. They are pointing at a mismatch of spare bedrooms. They say America as a surplus of 137 million bedrooms. A solution must be found because the owners don't need the money. Notice all the loaded terms. How, they ask, do you get seniors in particular to give up those underutilized rooms to achieve a bedroom redistribution that lines up better with people's needs? Say the people who covet your spare room, "The obstacles abound."
ADDENDUM
Okay, a Thanksgiving special. Remember the gross broad who wants free extra seats for fat flyers? She's back, presumably after a full meal or two or three. Here's the comments on her posts.
Damn, charge by the pound!
Load her in the cargo bay.
She'll just eat that extra seat.
Why is the plane leaning to one side?
Them engineers made all the seats too small.
Fatty Boombalatty.
$500 fuel surcharge.
Wider seats means narrower aisles.
