The Evangelicals are overwhelmingly of that mindset - everyone that traces their lineage back to the Dallas Theological Seminary and/or Moody Bible Institute is trained on the Scofield Bible.

Two main reasons: it’s smaller than my phone, so I can leave the phone in the house while weeding, or stored in a bike bag pocket when cycling to work. Also, I know the buttons by touch, and can change volume or start/stop/skip by feel. Downloading to the computer first means I have a chance to archive important podcasts without taking up space on the phone. I guess I’m also resistant to making my phone the center of my existence!

This got him in trouble, of course, although not permanently - he flew for another 20 years for United. (3/3)

Anyway, the story my uncle told me was that shortly after Boeing started delivering the 727’s to United this older colleague was tasked with moving an empty 727 from Chicago to some city in the west, probably Denver. This pilot told his wife to hang up her laundry in the yard at a specific time, and look for him overhead. Apparently he flew over at the appointed time, low in altitude, and did a barrel roll in the 727! (2/3)

My uncle was a pilot for United Airlines for almost forty years, flying out of O’Hare airport near Chicago. We lived thirty miles west of Chicago, in what was then a small town (the suburbs have since enveloped the town I grew up in, and marched even further west over the prairie). One of my uncle’s colleagues was an older pilot who coincidentally was the father of one my class mates; this older pilot was trained in the Air Force, and had flown fighter jets. (1/3)

It sounds like you’re painting over previously finished kitchen cabinets? Part of the problem might be that the previous finish is made to be impenetrable; what we think of as drying is a combination of evaporation and some amount of soaking in. If the underlying finish is impenetrable then you’re missing that second component. You’ll probably need to talk to someone more expert than me, but it could be that you have to perform some amount of surface prep, i.e. sanding, to be successful.

I actually disagree with this. I prefer the strict definition of fascist: someone who promotes a system in which corporations and the state jointly wield tyrannical power.

The other incident that I confidently predict will be memory-holed is the Charlie Kirk shooting. No, you will never see the autopsy report (not the real one).

2025-10-08 14:09:50 UTC

- reply

The fact that this has been memory-holed tells you all you need to know: the official story is not even a distant cousin to the truth. Add to that the audio recording analysis of the shots, which suggested strongly that there were multiple shooters at different distances, and we can be certain it is all lies. The more interesting question is why are they lying? I happen to believe that Trump’s ear injury was faked as part of psyop to energize his base, but you can bet we will never know.

The other incident that I’ve always wondered about is the space shuttle disaster that occurred over New Mexico (I think).

We had a pair of great horned owls perching in a large fir tree in the local city park for a few weeks this summer. It was pretty thrilling to just stand under the tree and listen to them!

Of course he doesn’t get it. He’s locked into the narrow worldview that says everything is about red vs blue, Republicans versus Democrats. However, the label doesn’t define the substance; in this case it obscures the substance. The substance is that Nikki Haley is a globalist shill who would happily burn the Constitution, and Mike Pompeo is a vindictive deep state warmonger. The fact that they self-identify as red team means nothing.

What he’s talking about here is that the mRNA strand can actually be processed by mitochondria in both the forward direction (to produce spike protein) or in the backward direction (less common, to produce roughly 1/20,000 as much of an as-yet unidentified protein).

Have you considered a private email provider like Fastmail? The harsh truth is that we’ve been conditioned to expect email to be ‘free,’ but if you don’t want your data to be traded for the cost of providing the service you have to be prepared to pay.
