This was the source of the big E-Coli stink back in the mid 90s. At the time, it was owned by Hudson Foods. It forced the sale of Hudson to Tyson at a $300 million loss. Look it up-- lead story in the press for weeks.
Let me save y'all from jumping down this rabbit hole. The dome is an ice dome, it ain't man-made.
As a guy who's spent a good part of his adult life in a treestand, I'd say this does not look like someone was looking for a comfortable place to sit for long hours, waiting for a deer. That's not a stand for a hunter.
Alex: I'll take Dunning-Krueger for $200.
God Bless Kevin Bloody Wilson! I hadn't figured the Dutch to be fans.
First off, let me take this from a theological standpoint. It wasn't the Jews that killed Jesus. It wasn't the Romans. It was us. Part of the meaning of the whole story is that Humanity killed our Savior. No single individual or group did it. We did.
Second, you're not going to find any existing DNA lineages. After about 6 generations the contribution from an individual ancestor further back is statistically removed.
Third, there's probably nobody out there willing to advertise their affiliation with someone they hold responsible for the gig. You won't find Fred Iscariot on any mailboxes. Your kids won't go to school with the Pilate's kids.
However, William Harrod, a contemporary of Daniel Boone, did found Harrodsburg, Kentucky in 1774. I had his descendant living in one of my apartments back in the 1980s. Ya think?
Okay. Let's say you find Arnold P. Pilate living next door to you. Is he "part of the lineage?" Don't jump to conclusions. I quote from the history of Circleville, Ohio on Wikipedia:
" . . Circleville was founded by European-American settlers in 1810, as people relocated westward after the American Revolutionary War.[9]: 32–3 One such settler was George Hitler Sr., who migrated to Circleville in 1799 with his wife and 4 children, with seven more being born in Circleville after they resettled. One of these children, Dr. Gay Hitler, used to be a dentist. Numerous features of the town are named after this family, these being two 'Hitler' roads, Hubert Hitler Road, Hitler Pond, Hitler-Park, and Hitler-Ludvig cemetery.[10][11] There is no connection between the family and Adolf Hitler, whose surname was defined much later."
BTW: the George Hitler mentioned is actually George Washington Hitler. Gay Hitler stopped practicing dentistry in 1946.
Site the sucker next to the abandoned Everglades International Jetport, and you can fly 'em right out with no muss/no fuss.
To deliver the black spot? Just guessing.
Could J.D. Vance be Blind Pew?
From Treasure Island by R.L. Stevenson:
"The poor captain raised his eyes, and at one look the rum went out of him and left him staring sober. The expression of his face was not so much of terror as of mortal sickness. He made a movement to rise, but I do not believe he had enough force left in his body.
“Now, Bill, sit where you are,” said the beggar. “If I can’t see, I can hear a finger stirring. Business is business. Hold out your left hand. Boy, take his left hand by the wrist and bring it near to my right.”
We both obeyed him to the letter, and I saw him pass something from the hollow of the hand that held his stick into the palm of the captain’s, which closed upon it instantly.
“And now that’s done,” said the blind man; and at the words he suddenly left hold of me, and with incredible accuracy and nimbleness, skipped out of the parlour and into the road, where, as I still stood motionless, I could hear his stick go tap-tap-tapping into the distance. "
Having worked in IT for 40+ years, mostly in End User Support, I wasn't as surprised as most at this number. 1400 to service 100,000 end users is a bit high, but not compared to what was the norm even a decade ago. That's roughly 1 per 72 employees. The gigs I did were usually 1 per 100-150 users, but these were lean private sector privately owned companies. You're going to need more bodies depending on how many locations and how far away those locations are from each other. You are also going to need more bodies if there is more than one shift.
The last thing I want to do is discredit DOGE. However, I want to point out a possible explanation for some of these wild discrepancies in SS Data.
I was born in 1958. Mom got me a SS #. I started filing tax returns and withholding when I started working for my Dad when I was 17.
Fast forward to about 2004. I was getting a regular letter from SS telling me the status of my account. The numbers jived. I didn't worry. However, when I went to look at my data online, I was blocked. I called SS. They said I had some wrong data in my account, and I would have to go into an office to get it straightened out. I was working full time at that point and couldn't waste a day going over there, so I put it off.
Fast forward again to 2021. I had just gotten laid off. A few weeks later, I found out I had cancer. I had to get things straight in a hurry. If I died without getting this fixed, it might hold up my wife's survivor benefits. 2 days before I went into surgery, I staggered into the SS office with my birth certificate, my SS card and a few other docs. In 2 hours, I was home. However, I found out a good part of what they had on me was wrong. Wrong birth county, wrong birth date, wrong. . . you name it.
I asked the clerk how this could have been. He said it was obviously a transcription error when they computerized in the early 70s. Having spent 40+ years in IT and having gone through multiple conversions from paper systems in my early years, I found it completely believable. I did one conversion where the accepted error rate was 3%-- 3 keystrokes in 100. This was a machine-reading project, where optical readers replaced key punch operators. Somebody thought it was easier and cheaper to fix the mistakes later. Yikes. My guess is, back in the early 70s, they were double-punching cards. That is, two people punched the same decks and then the differences spit out and errors were corrected. Error rates might have been lower, but still there would have been plenty of errata.
My point in this is that SS's data may still have a lot of transposition errors from the 70s.
BTW: Happy ending. I had the surgery. I retired. I had my first benefit check before chemo started. I'm going on 2.5 years cancer free.
Moral: Get on SS.Gov and find out what they have on you. If you can't get on, it's a sign your data is in error. Get it straight.
JB weld works great until it is heated. If memory serves, heating it to 600 F with a propane torch will cause it to fail.
Just to add an extra data point to this. I never got the jab.
However, I did get a rare testicular cancer 6 months after getting Covid. It's almost unheard of in guys older than 25, and I was 63.
Removing a nut and chemo 9 month later cured me.
I was a donor as soon after my 18th birthday as I could get it done. That was 1976. I tore up my card and got it off my driver's license as soon as I could after 1992.
I was in network sales. One of our customers was the region's largest organ bank. It was attached to a hospital that had the region's best trauma center. In dealing with the organ bank, I found that a head trauma patient had a 3-times better chance of being declared brain dead if they held a donor card.
Don't get me wrong. I still want to donate my body. I've left word with my family that I want that to happen. However, I don't want someone taking the parts while I'm still alive.
Jane Fonda, based on the pic of her manning a North Vietnamese AA gun, should have been tried for treason and hanged.
I am Diabetic. I have been on Metformin. I have never struggled with alcohol, but I have to admit that we've dated quite a bit over the years. There was some heavy petting going on after college before I got married.
My appetite for alcohol has been an ounce or two a night before dinner-- no more. It's been that way for decades. I'm right now on the max dose of Metformin, and I can say that I have never seen any changes for my passing desire for my evening cocktail. My glucose is well regulated, and so a little nip before dinner doesn't seem to hurt my morning readings.
What I will say is that Metformin seems to be a drug with all sorts of interesting side benefits. Study up. This may be the first real longevity drug that is available to the masses.
Thanks. That made my day.
I have a question for y'all. Right now, we've got Federal judges issuing opinions left and right on these vac mandates. Some uphold it, some strike it down. At what point does this wander into "Equal Protection Under the Law" territory? I would think that at some point it would.
Just askin'.
God bless the Youth of America.
At least somebody gets the joke.
The October Surprise conspiracy is the Trump Collusion myth of the Reagan years. You only have to read the Wikipedia article and look at the bold bullets and see that it was the usual suspects publishing the allegations.
The main difference between then and now, at least as I see it, was that most MSM outlets functioned independently. Now we have a unified monolithic system publishing talking points and spewing propaganda.
Remember that when this country was formed, only about 30% of the population bought into the idea of independence. About an equal number wanted to stay loyal to Britain and the remainder had no opinion one way or the other.
I need some help with rumor control. I'm on a large forum, and there are a bunch of shills claiming Lindell was run off the stage at his own event. What's the real scoop?
According to mob hipster Gianni Russo, the mob was used to stuff the ballot boxes in Philly and other cities. Now, they've all rolled, and the evidence is being held by the Supreme Court. If nothing else, it's a bit of hopium.
Help me out here. I'm asking this honestly.
Why not just answer the door, tell whoever it is that you're not interested and shut the door? This is what we do to the religious zealots, the kids selling candy bars, the lawncare specialists, and all the rest of the unwanted solicitors. How are the vaccination dudes any different?
