The reply numbers are jumping by large amounts. Chooch’s reply is #209209. John Day’s reply immediately follows and is #209258. I can’t seem to find why wordpress would do this. It is the only thing visible to me that signals that the site “has collapsed”.
Subtracting 197446 (the first reply number of this Oct 14th post) from 209264 (the last reply as I write), gives 11818 replies for that day. The number given is 1818 (accurate, I think).
Debt Rattle has some very dedicated followers.
This is the time of year I would donate to this site. I send it snailmail, so I will write Mr. Jarvis and ask if there is any point in doing so this year. Maybe he’ll offer some info.The Italian Renaissance flourished in an era of the city state. It was a violent, corrupt time.
From the compost pile comes food, fruit, and flowers.While occasional drops show up in earlier days, the first substantial jump happens in 10 october’s post, when 197310 is followed by 197316.
Is everyone else getting extraordinary gaps in the post numbers?
Page 28 starts with 205813 and ends with 207665 (DBS, just before mine will show up).
There are not well over a thousand posts on page 28.So at the intersection today I looked at all the fancy cars and said: what if each of them had the horses instead of the engines?
And we laughed.
It’d be some mighty slow and slippery going…So, if anybody out there has been feeling dopey or grumpy or sleepy these last couple of days, you’re not a disney dwarf- you are being influenced by megadoses of solar energy. That is, if you believe the sun has some sort of influence in your life.
But that would be flaky….My niece showed me a picture tonight of a deer with a fawn from a few days back, living near Minnehaha creek in Minneapolis. What are the chances of survival?
For those who might be interested, there is a utube interview of our host with Michael Dowd from five years ago.
DSA? Any chance it played a role?
Or maybe he just got overwhelmed.
I suppose I could ask Mr. Jarvis, but I am reluctant to do so. I don’t know internet etiquette, but it seems inappropriate to dig further.
I can’t remember what got me here, but I have read every post, every day.
I will miss Dr. D’s optimism most of all.What do I make of such a gift that summons tears and yet uplifts my soul?
It almost brings a moment when I wipe the whole damned world of sin. I think that is its goal.
Aug 2022I normally donate to RIM via Mr Jarvis. Does anyone know if donating through “recedinghorizons” will give wordpress the $ it needs to maintain the site even without its host?
If the money still goes to Ilargi, that’s good, too, but geez, I’m going to miss you guys if and when the lights go out here.
It knows when you are sleeping.
It knows when you’re awake.
It knows if you’ve been bad or good, so be good for goodness sake!
Your smartphone is Santa Claus!I think Raúl would have included this. It’s a video of Musk discussing “Schumer just folded”. It’s thirty minutes.
From zh: “The U.S. Supreme Court on Oct. 31 denied a request from adult entertainment providers to halt a federal appeals court ruling that rejected their challenge to zoning restrictions in New York City.”
denied= negative; halt=negative; rejected=negative; challenge=negative; restrictions= negative
Five negatives= negative. Adult entertainment will be restricted in nyc.
I think I got that right. That is the language of law and politics.
Some can’t follow a double negative- when negatives are stacked like they are in law, it’s downright confounding.“That Guy”
I killed in the markets, I won at the tables, my bets in the gaming pools rock.
I’ve got all the intel, I calculate odds well, I’m smarter than most of the flock.
But the truth is I’m lucky: God loves me so much he
Makes all of my ventures succeed.
Of course, I’ll not mention the losses, the tension-
I’m just a superior breed!Testing for closure.
The kittens mewl-
They’ve lost their fuel-
Their mama has gone missing.
The nest grows cold-
The story’s told-
What’s left is reminiscing.On a lighter note, my pumpkin this year was the NPC meme with fangs.
17 kids and some parents; 40 F and drizzle. Troopers, all.Won’t the EU try to get the war started in the middle east? It doesn’t have to be Ukraine, does it?
If that land-based warship takes on Iran, will the US stand by?
Isn’t this why Kirk was taken out? No Iran war!
If US sends soldiers to fight for u no who, how will the tone of the soon-to-be hunger games here in the states change?I am glad it is almost winter.
We aren’t gonna tell you game plan.
We trust you’ll know just what to do,
When the hammer is dropped
And the payments have stopped,
It’s the signal for all of the crew.For those interested in Webb’s interview with Glen Beck, here it is.
Another fetch from zh: a steampunk short video from AI. It’s better than I expected. (Though the ballerina is not so good). It made me think of LOTR: the Future…
3:38 long.I’ll ask again: could a corrupted CSS link in the comment section play havoc with wordpress?
[I speak in ignorance but goggle’s AI says yes.]How we have wandered from where we could be!
How we are blinded to what we could see!
We travel on tracks that are going to hell,
Built by caretakers who don’t wish us well.Some recall their feet and jump the track
And go their own way, never looking back.Good sleep, RIM.
From “John Milton” over at the hedge, less than an hour ago:
Boris Johnson lobbied for a continuation of the Ukrainian conflict in exchange for bribes – The Guardian
▪️Documents have surfaced online showing the former British Prime Minister receiving a bribe to continue the Ukrainian conflict.
▪️The sponsor turned out to be Christopher Harborne, a shareholder in a British arms manufacturer that supplies drones to Ukraine.
▪️It was he who bribed Johnson with 1 million pounds sterling to persuade Zelensky to continue the war.
▪️Harborne transferred the payment to a private company set up by Johnson after he left office as prime minister.
▪️It is noteworthy that Harborne himself accompanied Johnson during his visit to Kyiv, after which Zelensky refused to sign a peace agreement with Russia.For ZHedgers this ain’t surprise, but nice that the truth is coming out..
We went swimming on Saturday; we covered the plants for frost tonight. The tomatillos are probably doomed.
Wild.I was wondering if we could make pot a misdemeanor again, the riffraff would have their jobs back and wouldn’t need the cash from rent-a-riot.
Just a thought.tdk- thanks for the mention of brazilian starfish peppers! Definitely on the menu next year.
It sounds like they are fruity and floral, but not as hot as my favorite pepper, the habanero, so maybe even some of my kith and kin will be able to eat them.Check it out. A tiny, but clearer, view of the white-shirted “cellphone” guy under the ON of “wrong”, at comment #131, second video. 20 seconds in. Watch it a few times and it sure looks like the guy shoots a gun and Kirk drops. (In bigger versions, there’s even a puff of smoke visible.)
Last night down the rabbithole, someone trashed the video we see most commonly. Wanted to know why we lose the letter F in freedom on Kirk’s shirt; wanted to know why the shirt moves so crazy; why his mouth disappears…
Anyways, it led me to someone saying their phone was instantly scrubbed at the event, and someone else posted a short pan of the crowd (“sane fransisco”, a ways down the page) and wondered why AI hideomorphs (ghastly distorted human forms- my word) were sprinkled in.Are they reaching in to phones and messing with it or the video, in almost realtime? Spooky.
The things on screens are twirling like a drill inside my brain.
My head can boil- I try to keep a skim on all that’s bubbling-
But fall is here; the outdoors call; the interest is in vain,
‘Cause wand’ring walks and digging spuds is ever so less troubling.
