Don’t encourage me, Strega!

Public’s algorithmics demanded the ham-handed. Candace is candid in having been branded, even so a few hope she is remanded hits ground hard and not soft landed. Unhand that ham. Transparent scam. Scram.

This pleased me more than I’d have expected 🙂

Ham-handed?

I see what ya did there. I have my own dietary laws that have nothing to do with religious foolery. Just borne of my sensibilities. Lets see. No mixing butter with jam on bread. Mayo on french fries i despise. Chopped onion on tuna is a no never don’t do it ever.

Yeah Enco,

Agreed. Regime change is THE GOAL. Islamic stay in power and the goal is same but with greater urgency.

I listened to Christiannnnnneeee Amanpooooooooooooooooooooooor discuss the Iran war. She was very careful to exclude Islam from her lexicon. She used words like military and ideological but not Islamic, theocracy or terrorist.

I…[Read more]

Thanks Reg!!

When it comes to the salient factors in handicapping horse races there is zero question that trainer is the or among the most important factors.

I use a handicapping tool known as formulator that enables its users to do research into trainers. It is fairly comprehensive. You might want to know how the trainer does second starters/special weight…[Read more]

The Kentucky Derby used to have a handicapping proviso regarding so called dosage index. It was a pedigree formula that incorporated prior success connected to pedigree and “no horse with a dosage index higher than x has ever won the derby.”

I remember thinking stupid. I would ask fellow handicappers so lets say you otherwise LOVE LOVE LOVE a…[Read more]

Regime change issue?

Citing prior instances is worthless if it lacks nuance in how the circumstances and external factors are alike and distinguishable.

If it is true that the great majority of Iranians including diaspora despise the government and recognize Islam is the problem then it can happen under the right conditions. The problem i have…[Read more]

Just as long as we keep the stupidest motherfuckerz in power and exhibit again and again how far we have advanced since Conquistadors, Crusades and Inquisitions…

Enco,

The tolerance of and granting power to one with such mercurial proclivities lays at the hands of Americans. Can’t rely on anything he says to divine his intentions. Politically that can have advantages.

Whether he has principles or policy goals beyond his self aggrandizement i can’t say. Does he mostly or entirely fly by the seat of his…[Read more]

@unseen repairs are taking place – thanks for reporting the issue.

Enco,

I think Iran war is to point of no return. Agree completely regarding its execution. However, at this point if A & I (see what i did there?) declare victory and allow the regime to remain in power I think it is going to be a blood bath of historical note.

The most religious fanatics will be in power and the fear of losing power will cause…[Read more]

I bet a horse named Purely Platonic nearly half a century ago. Did not hold on. Had the speed to make the lead but when it mattered…

The idea that we are not fungible goods and that our attributes ought to be harnessed both for the individual and the state is imo a valid one.

Enco this is what AI has to say. BTW i just read something in Science Daily about how AI is sometimes inaccurate in what it says about science.

“Forever chemicals” (
PFAS) are synthetic compounds that do not break down in the environment or human body due to extremely strong carbon-fluorine bonds. Unlike most other pollutants that degrade over…[Read more]

I have been thinking how AI might be employed to counteract the sleep of reason. All over the globe the somnambulence of reason is in perpetual season. Peaks its head out from time to time before it is whack-a-moled into its interstices where it is in semi-hibernation.

The level of ignorance and stupidity is mind numbing. It might be excused…[Read more]

Good argument against the lefty isolationists:

The more advanced broken window opens door equation is apparent with Israel and its military defense. (How does one measure prosperity? For my money it is not reducible to economics and monetary scales.)

“And all of those innovations would be needed in peacetime, and can be and are created in peacetime, and the material they require would be far…[Read more]

Broken window net prosperity equation is not easily calculated.

Israel’s ongoing security challenges have fostered rapid, war-driven innovations, particularly in medical technology and defense. Key developments include
AI-driven battlefield triage (Aidoc), specialized vascular surgeries, 3D-printed prosthetics, and advanced wound treatments.…[Read more]

Thanks Reg.

That lake is so beautiful. I bet those books have really cool pics. And that science center is pretty cool. Been there half a dozen times or so. I would take 7 to 2 they have a copy of Spring on Squam. Sad thing is that squam Lake had the cleanest water in NH from memory. I remember drinking it from faucet. I don’t know how long it…[Read more]

Enco, the oft-cited extraordinary claims requirement is a logical one. Not sure this is an extraordinary claim however. Has anyone defined it satisfactorily? On the other hand your skepticism is sensible. Memories are fallible. Sometimes the speaker intends to deceive.

Nothing too extraordinary about misattribution of quotes. There is info…[Read more]
