Cool, but still warming later, all the way to hot, depending on where you are. At the BOL, it was tolerable, except in the sun. In Sugar Land, 99F. Today will likely be similar… and no lake breezes for me.
I got a late start Monday and eased into the day… but I did get stuff done. Not finished, of course, but made progress. Ran the sprinklers all afternoon again, and now most of the back yard isn’t crunchy. Still have dead grass and crunchy weeds in the front, because the sprinklers really don’t work well there. Yet. Maybe some day.
Continued insulating and putting up paneling to fix the walls I had to open up after the flood. I realized it’s money and time I didn’t expect to spend. The time is the worst part… did some other small chores around the place too. W was painting all weekend, then cleaning. If you aren’t there, it’s surprising how dusty it gets and how many spiderwebs the place will sprout in just a couple of weeks. Cleaning is a never ending chore, and we don’t even have a sandy beach.
Today I’ll be working the list at home. And doing all the normal things. Plus the extra things. Lots of kid stuff on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and that kills my afternoon. It’s good for the kids though.
I’m stacking time with them, and that’s good, even if I sometimes get frustrated by all their demands on my time. Being the stay at home means doing the delivery and taxi runs…
Stack some time with loved ones, the memory will help when times are tougher. And stack some food, because everything is better on a full belly.

Amen to that. I was fortunate enough to spend this past weekend in the company of people dear to me. It truly refreshes the soul.

Kamala’s peeps.
You can always get the corded Black and Decker 18″ chainsaw as a backup.
I bought one for $39, and it has been excellent for occasional yard cleanup. I just fill the oil reservoir and go.
Of course, $39 was before the pandemic “supply chain” problems and Bidenbux.
I don’t know if Boost Units will help, but there is a learning curve.
The tolling company surveyed the plazas in cm. Car speed is miles per hour. Vehicle length is feet. The optical tracking system, originally intended for military applications, output positions in m and velocity in m/s. Boost Units got used heavily.
One time calculation I wrote, involving Julian calendar days output by the RF tag reader in addition to the other units, was so hideous even with Boost that I left a note for the Fancy Lads to not touch it unless they completely understood every variable.
Of course, they had Hot Skillz so I’m sure they were fine.
How old is the laptop, you might have a 32 bit EFI which would make installing Linux more complicated but still doable.
You could try a USB DVD drive with Linux on … gasp … physical media to work around the limitation, but that would require Legacy BIOS support enabled.
Before I understood the work around for 32 bit EFI, the I used a portable CD-ROM drive at the Seattle trainwreck to get the testing process moving for the MILSPEC hardware we targeted.
Little did I know that I was to be the designated tester. Once I learned the truth, I walked without notice.
Early Intel 64 bit hardware had 32 bit EFI. Apple was the worst offender since they didn’t support Legacy BIOS mode.
I have a 2007 MacBook Pro which I keep around running Snow Leopard and Pop! OS in the hope that Pop! OS support for the machine matures enough that I can keep the laptop running with a “current” OS indefinitely.
Pop! OS has periods where the hardware support is good but also times when it is not so good. Right now, the pre-release with the vaunted Rust desktop doesn’t even boot on the Mac.
I am fairly happy with the Ego devices that I have. However, I don’t own the chainsaw.
I don’t recommend a corded chainsaw. The cord is not only a nuisance, but actually a danger. Also, you are stuck in your yard – you cannot carry it off somewhere where there is no plug.
It might be something like that, since the laptop is pretty ancient. In the end, since it is only for guests, and basically only runs Firefox, it wasn’t worth a lot of time.
I’ve always had an inexpensive corded chainsaw around. Gas/oil mixes are such a pain if you want to cut a single downed branch. The cord is actually more of a problem with the hedge clippers, also Black and Decker but not as thoughtfully designed.
The corded chainsaw I regret giving up was a 14″ Craftsman circa 2001, back when Sears was fading but still dominant as a retailer for that sort of thing. Hecho en Mexico, but someone really knew what they were doing when they designed that tool
I saw an article yesterday about the last K-Mart closing in the US, a fancy store built in the 90s on Long Island. What a waste.
Sears and K-Mart had tremendous real estate assets when Eddie Lampert took over and merged the companies. Every important corner around Tampa had one of those stores within visual range, sometimes both, and I’m sure that was true in a lot of other cities.
I remember Cramer praised Lampert as “The Next Warren Buffett” when cheerleading that merger.
Cramer should have been fitted for an orange suit a long time ago.
I have the 14“ saw. It cuts really well. I have taken down a 15’ tree, about 6” around, with no issues. That included limping and cutting into smaller pieces. It took one battery charge, about an hour, (two complete cycles), to do the entire job. The break was good for me. I now have three batteries because of other implements. I could easily cut all day without a stop.
I like it. For the few times I need a chainsaw, it works really well. No gas issues, no storage problems, no starting issues. Cuts as good as my old Craftsman, which I tossed because the fuel system was destroyed by 15% ethanol and sitting for five years.

The series turns out to be very anti- … well, no spoilers … but I am sorry I paid for it, actually.
Went out and looked at the comet about 40m after sunset.
As visual comets go, not bad, though not the “comet of the century”.
Best view was binoculars at 10×50, but 7x35s and 12x32s also gave decent views.
But even my vintage iPhone 11 took a pretty decent picture of it and it’s tail, and even the anti-tail.
And somehow, those “loans”, targeting black men, is not blatantly racist. Qualifying for something based simply on skin color is no different than being rejected on skin color. An attribute that should mean nothing. What I see on the horizon is a booming business in gold teeth with none of the money being used for the intended purpose. For most of those qualifying they are on the lower end of the economic scale for one reason, or several reasons. They cannot handle money, they are lazy, they spend foolishly, or they are just plain stupid. It has nothing to do with skin color, it is the lack of personal responsibility, values, morality, and integrity.
For $20K in a “loan”, I will identify as a gay, black, lesbian, disabled, pigeon. If only for a day. You silly savages!
COVID loans 2.0, but only for the Amish. I wonder if Obola and the Kamel Humper would qualify since they are only half-Amish. Is there a percentage you have to reach, or, just look Amish? Hello, Talcom X!
After personally spending years trying to separate culture from skin color, the Dems brought it right back- even one drop!
Kamel has no commonality with the “black american experience.” She’s culturally indian and canadian, and upper middle class.

Walgreen’s is cratering, but I can get 6% cash back with my Apple card.
Walgreens were nasty in Louisiana back in April. In town, stock was limited and locked up.
I‘m willing to bet that the store near Oak Alley will be among the first to close. That place was near the freeway exit and picked clean.
The neighborhood was literally old plantations.
I’ll be going to my local Walgreens about noon to buy some items.

“True Value files for bankruptcy after 75 years, selling to hardware rival Do It Best”
https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2024/10/15/true-value-hardware-bankruptcy-sale-do-it-best/75682381007/
“All of True Value’s 4,500 stores will remain open during the bankruptcy process because they are independently owned.”
When is the nightmare going to stop ?
Lots of other problems, but I think one of the biggest is that there is just too much retail. How many competing stores are needed to sell the same items? Competition is fine, but we’ve gone beyond saturation. Same for restaurants.
In an expanding economy there is room for all the players… and then some. In a contracting economy, players get squeezed out. The evidence suggests that we are contracting.
I can’t plagiarize anyone ‘cuz IDK where to look, but I’d bet it takes an external force to change from contraction to expansion.
War on the horizon. Or debt default inbound…

After Plagiarism Allegation, Kamala’s Publisher Seems to Know a Total Disaster Could Be on Their Hands
https://townhall.com/tipsheet/mattvespa/2024/10/15/it-looks-like-kamalas-book-publisher-knows-theyre-in-some-trouble-over-plagiarism-allegations-n2646231
Two developments:
I’ve read a number of the articles, and no one seems to be offering this scenario:
Kamala Harris is probably smart enough to use a phone book, may be able to read at a grade school level, but the idea that she could write a book is unlikely to get much traction by people who stop to think about it. Pols a lot smarter that her have used ghostwriters, and it’s certain that she did, too. So who do you suppose did the actual plagiarizing?
Delicio.
I doubt if she even read the book, let alone writing/plagarizing it.
Off the top of my head, here are executive branch (and wannabe) “authors” I doubt:
Odd. When I started the list, I thought it would be longer. Now I need to check who else wrote books I didn’t read.
Harris reads and writes well enough to have graduated Hastings, passed the bar, and practiced law.
She put a lot of black men in prison during her time as an ADA and DA, and that shouldn’t be forgotten.

Harris Faces More Plagiarism Allegations in Her 2009 Book
More from The Telegraph:
https://legalinsurrection.com/2024/10/harris-faces-more-plagiarism-allegations-in-her-2009-book/
So, yes, someone else was asking about the ghostwriter.
Legal Insurrection author Mary Chastain ends with:
It’s not hard, but we’ve been training minorities for generations that they are are disadvantaged and can’t compete so the rules do not apply to them. The idea is idiotic, racist rubbish. The irony is that as the real racists that promulgated this concept have fallen by the wayside, the communists and race grifters in the Democratic Party have taken it up with a vengeance.
After the election. Either Trump will take the fall for the crash or Kamala will get her $25k first time house buyer credit in one of the first spending bills passed as people will be desperate to restore their paper millionare status lost when the 401k balances tanked.
Depending on how hard the market crashes, people may even be willing to surrender their 401k plan equities for Treasuries
Until then, Viva Dos Commas!
“Harris reads and writes well enough to have graduated Hastings, passed the bar, and practiced law.”
Was graduation meeting universal standards or “special” standards?
She failed the bar the first time, IIRC.
I might be convinced that she practiced law if I saw a good draft of a brief in her own hand.
We know that she claimed to be “confused by the form” in excusing her spending 3X the legal amount in running for CA AG, a claim that was accepted by a board coincidentally stacked with Willie Brown appointees.
The overwhelming evidence based on numerous public utterances is that she is a complete idiot incapable of cogent thought, so the bar to believing that she was somehow more intelligent in the past is pretty high. Unless, of course, we accept the hypothesis that she is currently severely impaired by alcohol or other drugs,
Embrace the power of “and”…

Now, those extra 85,000 IRS hires get to scrutinize it.
The more B-List and has-been stars endorse the Kamel-Humper, the more I think she is circling the drain. Even the actress who had sex with Howard The Duck is tRump bashing. Yeah, her. She had to open her trap because Dennis Quaid endorsed tRump. She was engaged to him decades ago and had to counter him somehow. It would be hilarious if the K-H cheats her way to the popular vote and then loses in a bigger landslide in the Electoral College than Cankles.

The bath room door has been dragging on the thresh-hold since about day one. Varies with humidity of course. Today I was annoyed enough that I sat my happy self down with a wood rasp and made sawdust. 99% done. I just got tired. Well, and a certain beagle was bugging me for his supper.
The door swings out. It all looks square looking at the seams around the door. But just maybe the threshold was damaged a bit in shipping. So sand off the part of the door that drags. Needs a little more sanding.
I tried a chunk of 2×4 and a hammer on the threshold but that didn’t work at all.
Some beagle is starting to bug me for bedtime potty walk. 🙂
The weather forecast says 55f tonight and a high near 69f tomorrow. Yeah, I’ve heard this story before. “55 for a low and suddenly it’s 28 at 2am”. And my plants looked like lettuce that has been frozen.
I figure when the front gets here I’ll wake up freezing and I will haul my last three house plants into the house. Then close ALL of the windows.
Much excitement here. Much wow.

Find every DOJ employee that so much as breathed on this memo, give them a “totally unsatisfactory” review, and terminate them all.
I chickened out. I hauled the plants in. I’ve closed most of the windows to keep the heat in.. Why? The cold front is here… sliding in like the draft of cold air on the floor from your refrigerator.
It might be 72f outside but while walking the dogs, it’s a cold 72f.
It was 97f today. A bit warm but not humid. A bit of breeze and nice in the shade.
“Inferno (Kelly Turnbull/Peoples Republic)” by Kurt Schlichter
https://www.amazon.com/Inferno-Kelly-Turnbull-Kurt-Schlichter/dp/1734199369?tag=ttgnet-20/
Book number seven of an eight book alternate history series. I read the well printed and well bound POD (print on demand) trade paperback published by Kurt Schlichter in 2022 that I just bought new on Amazon. I am now reading book number eightin the series as I have purchased all of the books now.
In an alternate universe, the USA split into two countries in 2022: the People’s Republic (the blue, the west coast and the northeast) and the United States (the red, flyover country). Initially people can cross the lines easily but that gets more difficult as the years go on.
This book is set in 2033 just after the United States successfully invaded California and occupied it. The Chinese were pushed out of California into Mexico and Oregon are “helping” them. The Californians, those who did not die during the rule by the blue, are starving and do not have many life skills after being taken care of by the state for over a decade.
Kelly Turnbull and the rest of Task Force Zulu are now retired in the United States. Kelly is a retired Army Ranger Colonel and still wary as ever with his fiance and his dog pack. But, somebody is trying to kill them all.
My favorite caliber is .44 Magnum.

“The most advanced AI models today need to be trained inside a single building where tens (and soon hundreds) of thousands of AI processors, such as Nvidia’s H100s, can be connected so they act as one computer.”
“But as Microsoft and its rivals compete to build the world’s most powerful AI models, several factors, including America’s aging energy grid, will create a de facto cap on the size of a single data center, which soon could consume multiple gigawatts of power, equivalent to hundreds of thousands of homes.”

Just installed Xubuntu 24.04 on my main PC (no worries, still have the old 22.04 partition). Got everything set up and working. However, it is disturbing that I have two crash reports on startup, both having something to do with the window manager. It apparently restarts, because there aren’t any problems, but still…this should’t really happen. I’ll use it for a couple of weeks, before installing on my laptop (which is actually my main work machine).
Why update? Ubuntu doesn’t keep older LTS versions up-to-date with the latest software versions. Which I suppose is understandable. But I find myself increasingly having to manually update stuff if I want newer versions.
Did she? Or was she passed through to keep up their DEI numbers? I remember reading an article about the passing scores required in a medical school, and how they were adapted to the race of the students. The adaptations were huge. At the time, living in the US, I decided to avoid black doctors.
That’s the idiocy of DEI: you cannot trust a minority professional. The people who should object most strongly are the minority professionals who are, in fact, qualified and competent. But as a patient, or customer, how are you supposed to know? Safest to avoid them entirely.
