Supposed to be a chance of rain again today, and slightly cooler temperatures. Yesterday ended up in the high 80s, low 90s, but it stayed cool for a while. There was spotty rain, depending on where you were, but I barely got any here at home.
I didn’t have a very productive day. I fell asleep in the chair after breakfast and that set me back all day. Later I spent some time looking for sneakers to replace the pairs I’m wearing out, and did an online order with in store pickup later in the day. I also ordered a couple of things I needed around the house. Sanded and mudded the ceiling repairs in the bathroom and kitchen. They should have been done a long time ago, but I never wanted to make the mess. A quick sand and they will be ready for paint, and no longer on my list.
Got the kid from school, hit the chiropractor, picked up my shoes, came home and cut the grass. That was kinda productive… One trick, I like to wear shorts when it’s hot, but cutting the grass with the string trimmer is very painful in shorts. I bought a pair of MMA foam shin guards in the auction, and I wear those now to run the string trimmer. I’ve got a pair at the BOL, and one here. Legs stay cool, but almost all of the chips and bits get stopped by the shin guards instead of my shins. It might look silly but I don’t care. No more bloody shins.
Today will be more home work, mostly putting stuff away, and a couple of auction pickups. The shady guy finally has the last three auctions ready for me to pick up, I’ve got a couple of lots at another auction, and a third local auction to pick up later in the day. I only have a couple of lots at each of them, but I do need to get them picked up.
I’ll need to sort out what I’m taking up to the BOL this weekend too. OH, and taking the pickup to the mechanic because the alignment is off… just a little but they supposedly did the alignment after changing the shocks, so I’m miffed that it isn’t right. Of course I really need the truck for the next day, and then all weekend. Grrr. Not pleased. Not at all.
Still trying to improve my readiness. Still stacking. Got lots to do.

Off to what is probably my last ever personnel review (or whatever you call it). Talk with the boss about the last year, set goals for the coming year.
We’ve worked together for so long that it’s mostly a formality. Except this time the big topic will probably be how I hand over the courses and stuff that I’m responsible for. Some of it is clear, other parts…not so much.
Meanwhile, I guess I’ve decided what I want to do in the next phase. The local trade school is hungry for instructors, and I’ve enjoyed working with the teenagers so far. Hey, even my wife is signing up to teach a course next year. Hope she enjoys it – we’ll see…
The question now becomes “Where is the growth going to happen?”
Also of note yesterday was the Geico Gecko crossing the $1 Trillion market cap line.
I have no idea where the last 50 points came from, mostly since the meeting in May. I doubt even Buffett knows.
77F and some clouds. Dawn is on the way.

Aurora needs to deputize 1,000 sheriffs and clean house. With extreme prejudice.
I’m in Vegas. Moving day from the condo to the new house. We hired a small team of Vets to move everything.
We are putting a doggie door thru the wall at the new house for the beloved canines when they arrive. Handyman husband of our realtor friend here in Vegas. Is doing the install They live in Pahrump and commute every day in her electric Volkswagen. She’s a Buffet drone.

Good for them. I know of two people with significant, as opposed to massive, student loan debt. They had already spent the money they thought they were going to have because of no more student loan payments. They just put themselves deeper in debt. Stupid people make stupid mistakes, especially with money. Apparently their college education did nothing and they are still stupid.
I wear shorts all the time. I never experience bloody shins. Just some grass clippings on my shins. I do wear eye protection and every so often I feel a piece of debris hit one of the lens.
Yes, they got to this goal by high premiums and being really difficult to settle claims. I know a couple of people with Geico and getting the insurance company to pay was very difficult. Geico wanted to repair their vehicles with el-cheapo crap Chinese parts. A visible difference between the OEM and Chinese part. One of the people had Geico replacing parts with stuff from a junk yard.
Another couple did not renew their coverage and informed Geico. Geico still withdrew the monthly premiums for two additional months. The money was not refunded until three months later.
Geico is a sleaze ball company. Premiums are different depending on how the policy is purchased making it difficult to compare rates.
And speaking of insurance. I just got my renewal for my house (full replacement plus 25%), two vehicle (maximum coverage), travel trailer, and liability ($1 Million) policies. My rate jumped from $2500 a year to $3200 a year. Yikes. According my agent that is a good rate as some people had their premiums jump 50%.
I am so stealing that!
In other news, on of my saved eBay searches threw up a set of used top-notch German cookware for a very reasonable price. Only catch is that it needs picking up from Luxembourg. As it happens, I will be passing through the Grand Duchy later in the week, so I hit “Buy it Now”. Interesting to see that eBay has a procedure for authorising/authenticating pick-ups. New to me.
Ebay is changing a ton of stuff lately. Not sure where they are headed, but there are significant changes.

I don’t let the Gecko have autopay, but the lizard tries various tricks.
Go back into Buffett’s history with creepy financial insttutions and that will speak volumes, particularly Solomon Brothers, which he had to run as CEO for about a year after the “Liars Poker” antics went too far and attracted the Feds’ attention ~ 1990.
After Buffett, Solomon continued to be weird until they were bought out in the mid-90s … by Buffett’s arms-length insurance carrier Travelers.
I saw an article recently about someone rying to revive the Solomon Bros. brand.
Re yesterdays question about alternatives to Amazon.
I use Newegg. They don’t have as many items but what they do have is usually as good if not better. Their service is as good.
Newegg has a very tricky website in terms of dumping your order onto third party sellers, and a lot of the third party sellers just order the items on Amazon using gift cards, making returns difficult.
Money laundering?
If the item doesn’t say “Sold and shipped by Neweggg”, I wouldn’t order it on their site.
“Aurora needs to deputize 1,000 sheriffs and clean house. With extreme prejudice.”
Probably easier to ring the buildings with razor wire and shut off utilities.
“Ebay is changing a ton of stuff lately. Not sure where they are headed, but there are significant changes.”
inventing excuses for higher fees.
Twenty years ago it was 5%. Now it’s 15%.
Twenty years ago I had photos hosted for free, and took checks that were mailed for a stamp and cost me nothing to deposit. eBay started by adding PayPal, then requiring PayPal, then selling PayPal and pocketing billions, then requiring their new internal payments system, which was presented as a savings to sellers that turned into a higher cost. Along the way eBay made their expanded photo service “free”, and made external links prohibited.
Forget it Jake, it’s Colorado.
I used to buy a lot (for me) of computer parts and related stuff from Newegg, but haven’t needed anything in several years, so I don’t pay much attention to their site. The last time I actually ordered something, I did notice a lot of sources other than Newegg, and some of them turned me off. I would still look at Newegg, but have noticed that Google searches rarely find what I am looking for on their site.
Newegg used to (still?) have some of the best reviews of anyone, especially for high ticket items. I especially liked reviews from pros who were buying in quantity for their small companies. Many reviewers were very professional and thorough, and would even answer questions occasionally.
The other thing I liked about Newegg was their warehouse is close to me, and I would occasionally get an item in less than 24 hours, even with their no-extra-charge (free) shipping option.

Me too !
I made a great for my tastes batch of spaghetti sauce. Canned tomatoes, Italian sausage broken down into chunks. Lazy meatballs. I cooked it down too much. But it was good over some ravioli. I let the pot cool almost to room temp and into the fridge. My fridge is cold, 34f to 36f. Stainless steel pot, never removed the lid so the contents are sterile. Three weeks ago, anyway.
Today I looked. Smells fine. I started to heat the pot. Then added a couple of cans of tomato sauce. Later I added another can of sauce and a sprinkle of Italian herb mix, some red pepper flakes, and a decent wave of garlic powder. Stir and raise the heat a bit.
I let it simmer for a while. Kill cooties, right? Added a few tablespoons of butter. The taste is perfect.
I have some rectangle shaped food storage boxes. I have lined four with plastic wrap. Might do one more. Once the sauce is cooled enough to not be a burn hazard I’m going to divide it up and freeze. Then tomorrow, vac-seal.
It’s just me here. A couple of cups of spag sauce is more than enough.
Smells great!
It’s just me here. A couple of cups of spag sauce is more than enough.
What, nothing for the dogs ?
No. Penny is ok. She leaves any mushroom bits. Buddy eats anything and gets, not the runs but close.
It’s not my spag sauce, the canned or jarred stuff from the grocery store is the same.
Buddy does the same with a bit of chili mixed into his food. His system does not like tomatoes.
$1600 for two vehicles, maximum coverage, $1K deductible, $1300 for the house, $193 for the trailer, $160 liability. That is for the entire year.
Certainly is not as hot as Texas. The power is reliable. Longest outage in 34 years was 8 hours from damaged poles from a tornado. Most outages are one hour or less. We are close to some significant power generation from TVA with hydro, natural gas, and nuclear.
But you have to break out a taillight and remove two teeth (an additional black rotted tooth is a plus) to really blend in with everyone.
In seriousness, the people are good and will really help if a person is down on their luck or needs help.
Jimbo is now at Ole Miss, rehabbing his career as the Offensive Coordinator.
Well, good for him. I would take my $90 million and retire at 60+.
Yeah, that’s beyond the personality type.
Jimbo wants to prove that he didn’t just coast into a championship on St. Bobby’s coattails.
They’re still tallying the damage in Tallahassee, and a Super Bowl erased memories of the Jameis Winston era in Tampa, when Lovie took Jimbo’s word for it.
BTW, Lovie is not working this season, but his predecessor failure in Tampa, “Rah” Morris, got another shot in Atlanta.
Peter King retired. “Rah” won’t get another shot when Atlanta melts down.
“Shoot”
That would be the next step, if they try to get out.
Again, just like home in Venezuela.
My parents were in Venezuela a little over 20 years ago with Dad trying to stir up some business for us. Mom was going to walk across the downtown Caracas square from the hotel to a museum that she loved. The concierge ran after her and brought her back into the hotel. He then called her a cab. He made her promise that she would call him and he would get her a cab. He told her that they were kidnapping Americans and that they could tell she was an American even though she has black hair, black eyes, and dark skin (my mother is Flemish).
We will be just like Venezuela in less then ten years if Kamala becomes prez. Shoot, maybe two years. Starvation, kidnappings, running gun battles in the streets, home invasions, hyperinflation, etc, etc, etc.
Jimbo is now at Ole Miss, rehabbing his career as the Offensive Coordinator.
Well, good for him. I would take my $90 million and retire at 60+.
Jimbo is 58. Younger than I thought. He still thinks he can conquer the world.
Wow, just started pouring down. Thunder and lightning too. It was off to the east of me but was clearly getting closer the last hour or two.
Ranger is back at the mechanic. They couldn’t get the alignment right, so they looked deeper. Tie rod ends. Maybe a castor/camber shim kit. They’ll do the tie rod fix first as it’s straightforward and (relatively speaking) inexpensive. Even with only 153K miles, it is 21 years old and stuff wears out. It breaks when you hit sharp edged potholes on the freeway too. And a closer look at the front tires shows the bad wear pattern so they rotated them too.
I should have the truck back by tomorrow afternoon. I’m hoping for another 10 years and 100K miles.

“Junkyard Bargain” by Faith Hunter
https://www.amazon.com/Junkyard-Bargain-Faith-Hunter/dp/1622681762?tag=ttgnet-20/
Book number two of a four book novella science fiction series. I read the well printed and well bound POD (print on demand) trade paperback published by Lore Seekers Press in 2023 that I bought on Amazon. I have the other two books in the series.
The book is set in the not so distant future, probably 2060 or so. In 2043, thousands of Chinese Mamabots advanced into Seattle from the ocean, creating and deploying Warbots to kill the population. The Mama bots self replicated and spread across the USA and then the world, killing off most of the population with their warbots, starting “The Final War”. The Mamabots and the warbots have been mostly taken out, mostly, using antitank weapons and blasters, but there are many still in hiding.
2060 is highly different from our time. There has been a severe population crash due to the bots and the lack of water. There were dark matter WIMP engines for the space ships that the Bug aliens shot down. There are the Bug aliens that forced The Final War to stop. And Shining has a crashed Bug space ship that the Bugs are looking for.
Shining Smith is going to Charlottsville to trade metals for other goods. And dig up a rumored Simba tank that was lost in the swamp. The Simba tank has a WIMP power generator with an AGR (antigrav) system that can hold it up to four feet above the ground.
Shining is one of the few known survivors of a bicolor ant swarm, who infected her with their nanobots. And she is a survivor of The Final War that started when she was 12. There is video of her killing a Mamabot in Seattle by dragging a bomb into it when she was 12.
BTW, the nanobots are freaking me out. The fact that Shining Smith is infected and shedding nanobots all over the place is a horrifying concept. And she has infected her junkyard cats who use the nanobots to communicate to each other and her. And she has infected the people who work with her but none of them shed nanobots like her since she is a “nanobot queen”.
BTW, the junkyard cats are motivated by protein. In 2060, protein is short as much of the world has turned into deserts due to WIMP bombs ripping away the stratosphere. Dead humans are protein according to cat rules. Don’t get jumped by five cats, you will end up as protein.

You’d then have to view that post with that URL, and then you’d see the comment form and go from there. The URL is related to the title of the post (at least the title initially assigned to the post entry, although the author and admin can modify the URL of a post).
The table row for each comment includes the ID of the post that it belongs to, in addition to a unique comment ID (which you can see if you hover over the individual comment’s date stamp).
Technically, you could change that ID value for a comment to ‘assign’ it to a different post. But that requires direct access to the database. There might be a plugin that allows for that ability to change a comments’ post ID value.

Unless something has changed, for any item that, by default, ships just in its retail packaging, there is an option during checkout to ‘hide the retail packaging’ and use Amazon packaging. Usually for oversized items has been my experience.
Might also occasionally deter a porch pirate not interested in velcro.
“A vivid illustration of our need for a “store of value””
hhttps://bayourenaissanceman.blogspot.com/2024/08/a-vivid-illustration-of-our-need-for.html
“Most of us can’t afford to invest a large proportion of our income and/or savings in stores of value, because they aren’t really “investments” at all – they don’t earn interest, they don’t pay dividends, and we lose access to and the daily use of the money we use to buy them. Nevertheless, it’s prudent to own at least some stores of value, as a hedge against other investments (including cash, in a high-inflation situation) that may lose value rather than retain it. That’s why many people buy silver or gold, in whatever quantity they can afford. In South-East Asia, gold jewelry in particular is an investing way of life for many families, even those who are relatively poor. There have been so many disruptions to society, the economy and stability that they’ve learned the hard way to have some of their savings in things they can scoop up and carry with them as they flee. Gold jewelry is negotiable for cash almost anywhere.”
So buy gold and silver jewelry as that is not tracked and can be easily bartered for stuff ?
How do you tell what is real gold and real silver in the apocalypse ?

The same way Archimedes did 2400 years ago. Fill a container of water to a precise level. Drop your precious metals into the water, and see how much the water level rises. This gives you the volume of the metal, from the amount of water displaced. Then weigh it, and calculate the density. Pure precious metals have fixed densities that you can look up in standard reference tables. Compare your calculated density to the tables, and voila! Or, as Archimedes said, in the original Greek, “Eureka!”
In my case, my “precious metals” are small copper-coated cylindrical ingots of lead, in brass containers. But I have THOUSANDS of them.

You can’t eat these either, but, you can make someone else “eat” them.

What gives that slime ball the right to invade my private message space with her nonsense? That should be against the law. It is crap like that that makes me despise and loathe politicians.
I watched a preview of her interview on CNN. One of the questions asked, “Why have you changed your position on major issues?” was never answered. The Humper put together her usual word salad without any substantial information and most certainly no answer to the question. Of course that satisfied the mentally challenged far left bell curve ignorant and uneducated CNN interviewer. But that is a redundant statement.

Why Is Cheap Wind Power So Expensive?
https://wattsupwiththat.com/2024/08/28/why-is-cheap-wind-power-so-expensive/
200 mpg carburetors would reduce emissions more than offshore wind farms, if not for the Dastardly Davos Plan: when the governments commit to increase the cost of power by 300%, the result is a ruined economy and destitute people dying in the dark. Since dead people don’t emit CO2–at least after the decay process finishes–it’s a win for the Davos Team.
As we all know, the political class in the FUSA have exempted themselves from everything. I’m still getting a dozen texts/emails a day from the Dumbos. Remember the no-call list? The p-class immediately exempted themselves from it. From then, it never worked.

Would you ever vote for a candidate who did nothing but sit in a basement and mumble at you ?
Biden got 81 million votes with that nonsense and Trump got 74 million votes. Unreal.

The rallies serve Trump to show people that they aren’t alone. The size helps to put the lie to the media…and the steal.

WRT whether a gang has “taken over” a particular apartment building or not, have you ever seen video like that from somewhere else? Those guys are not worried at all about swarming up the stairs and getting into that apartment, all while carrying openly and ready to shoot…
and after the time of the video there were multiple shots fired in the complex according to the article.
There are some shirty complexes here in Houston, and it’s actually legal for citizens to carry openly, HOLSTERED, but a group armed and carrying bare like that? Nope. Add that it’s gun hating colorado, and you’ve got a gang of killers walking around armed in daytime, without repercussions.
The ‘rebuttal’ article only says that the cops won’t make an official statement, and that investigations are ongoing, not that it hasn’t happened.

“Minnesota grandma jailed for defying Walz COVID lockdown orders: ‘You do not want tyranny at this level’”

“Lisa Hanson warns Americans against electing Minnesota Gov Tim Walz as VP: ‘He will take your rights away’”
“Her wine and coffee bistro initially complied with the shutdown ordered that March. However, Hanson said she watched for months afterward as Walz never fully re-opened the state when it came to businesses deemed nonessential, such as the bars, restaurants, gyms, dance studios and hair salons. By contrast, the governor never shut down liquor stores, big-box stores or even strip clubs.”
“Hanson eventually decided to re-open her business and defied Walz’s renewed shutdown order for bars and restaurants six times between December 2020 and January 2021.”
I listened to this lady for a little while on Sean Hannity’s radio show today. Walz put her in jail for 60 days for violating his stay at home order for her coffee business six months AFTER the initial order even though he let the strip clubs stay open !
Walz is a dictator wannabe ! This guy has some seriously wrong stuff with him. 30 business trips to China. Left his Guard unit after being notified they were going to Iraq. Etc, etc, etc.

““I think the most important and most significant aspect of my policy perspective and decisions is my values have not changed,” she replied. “You mentioned the Green New Deal. I have always believed – and I have worked on it – that the climate crisis is real, that it is an urgent matter to which we should apply metrics that include holding ourselves to deadlines around time.””
“Yes, deadlines around time.”
Does she talk this normally ? If so, whew !
Don’t be the only one working in the office…

CPU microcode patching has been a thing for a while.
My replacement replacement work laptop arrived.
i7 vPro Ultra, 32 GB RAM, 512 GB storage.
I wish I could install Linux to see what the machine can really do, but IT keeps these locked down.
Swap the hard drive?
